Future Of Democrats

Having experienced a crushing
defeat in its efforts to overthrow
prohibition, will the Democratic
party disintegrate or perform an
other sommersault?
The Democratic party has sur
vived much worse defeats, which is
enough to suggest that it may sur
vive this one. Three failures in
row represents nothing new for the
Democratic party. 1t experienced
six between Buchanan and Cleve-
land and four between Cleveland
and Wilson.
If it could be rehabilitated, not to
say enthused with renewed hope,
after polling little more than $780,
900 votes for Cox in 1920, or a lit
tie less than 100000 for Davis in
1924, why should it go under after
having polled nearly 100000 votes
for Smith,
Whatever else your politician may
be, he is not so dumb as to trade
100000, votes for a doubtful ex-
pertinent. Nineteen hundred and
thirty-two will find the same old
Democratic party, doing business at
the same old stand, though not
necessarily with the same program.

Poison AIky Smuggling

Even the rum runners have be-
come imbued with the spirit of in
ternational friendship and good will,
that they have taken it upon them
selves to see that the importation of
poison alcohol from Canada ceases.
Most Of us had been led to be-
lieve that the poison alcohol about
which we heard so much was of
home manufacture. Very little has
been said on the subject to warrant
the suspicion that bootleggers we're
bringing it in from Canada.
Not only they, but those who
quarrelled with prohibition on po-
litical and moral grounds, let it be
understood that whatever came in
from foreign lands was simon pure,
that all the adulteration took place
in this country and that much of
it was due to the hard-hearted
regulations put in force by this gov
eminent.
1t is certainly Illuminating. If not
disheartening to learn that our run
ners have been smuggling wood
alcohol.

A Secretary of State

Political wiSeacres. busy at the self-appointed task
of picking Hoover's cabinet for him, soemnly have
weighed the respective merits of three men for
rotary Of state: AlanSon B. Houghton, Senator Will
liam E. Borah and Dwight w. Morrow
Houghton elected to return to England as am
bassador apparently taking himself out of considera
ton. And now Senator Borah allows it to be known
that his private choice probably would be Dwight
W. Morrow.
That would seem to present the place to Morrow
on platter If he wants it-and If Hoover wants him.
For Hoover hardly the to allow others to name
the members of his immediate political family If in
due time he names Morrow his minister of foreign
affairs it will be perfectly clear that he thought Of
Morrows name quite early as anybody.
On his brilliant record of one year in public Office
Morrow unquestionably has many attributes to rec
ommend him to Hoover, having in mind the Pres-
dent-elects broad understanding Of world ques-
tons and Americas relations thereto
Morrow has revealed that he is keenly alive to the
fact that we already Of necessity, irrevocably
bound to the other nations Of the world by thou
sand ties OF every description and that national
well-being depends on the handling of those ties
AS ambassador to Mexico he has done good Job,
improving our badly shattered prestige from the Rio
Grande to Cape Horn. Our relations with Mexico,
bordering almost war, were changed almost over
night by Morrow. He did it by treating Mexico as
sovereign nation, with rights equal to our own
Quick to see that the best interests of the Mexican
people are also best interests he served the
American people down there in the true sense Of the
word better than any ambassador of has done in
years. And the Mexicans themselves swear by him,
because he has refused to assume that Mexcans have
no rights in Mexico.
Our relations with Latin America are important
more important in the long rum perhaps than with
any other part Of the world. If Morrow's work In
Mexico City may be taken as a fair sample of his
mental processes and a measure Of his tact and
ability to deal with Latin Americans other for
egn peoples he could be Of great service to the nation
as the head Of department of state
Constructive cooperation with the rest Of the world
Is the need of the times Particularly is this the great
Pan-American need 1t is not strictly hands off,
policy that the situation calls for and that Is not
what the Latin Americans themselves desire.
They need foreign money to develop their re-
sources just as the United States needed foreign
money to develop its resources and this money should
be raised in our country The essential is that it
should be at fair rate Of interest and on condi-
tons that would advance not retard the progress
our 10000O000' neighbors whose improved standards
and whose good will will spell increased prosperity and
increased national security for us here at home.

healthy animal got some of these spores into his
system, they Matched out in the deadly microbes
again.
So Koch showed the farmers of Europe simple
way to fight the deadly germs of anthrax All
animals which died Of the disease had to be burned
or buried so deeply that there danger of
the spores getting into healthy animals.
Koch, at the suggestion of his good friends at the
University Of Breslau, moved to that city. He was
given position as city physician, tho the pay was
not very great He was supposed to make his living
from private patients.
Few patients to him, however, and he moved
back to the little village of Wollstein.
Back in the little village Koch began to play again
with his beloved microscopes.
Soon he was making great strides in the technique
Of microbe- hunting.
He learned how to mix dyes with his solutions
stains they are called technically, by which the
microbes could be stained different color from the
solution. In this way it became much easier to see
the tniest microbe.
Then he bought camera and arranged to take
pictures through his microscope.
He reasoned quite correctly that 1t would be i'm
possible to get anywhere with the study Of microbes
until it would be possible to get pictures of them
which many people could study at leisure.
But Koch's friends at the university-Prof. Cohn
and Prof. Cohnheim-had not forgotten him. One day
a government mesenge rarved to summon him to
Berlin. He had been appointed extraordinary as
sociate Of the imperial health Office

Vets Lose Leaders

What the vets have lost in num-
Der hardly tells the story, since
they have lost far more by way Of
leadership.
Bruce of Maryland, Edwards of
New Jersey. Bayard of Delaware,
Reed of Missouri and Gerry Of
Rhode Island-all strong, ardent
and influential advocates of modi-
fication-have been replaced by
drys in the senate, while such out
standing champions as White Of
Colorado and Hill of Maryland, have
lost their seats in the house.
The tremendous vote Governor
Smith received. especially in the
east, may justly be construed as
indicating a growing sentiment for
modification, but an increased ma
jority Of prohibitionists in both the
house and senate leaves that senti-
ment less hope of getting anywhere
in the immediate future.
