To Prevent Strikes.
fNew York Times ]


 News of most important conference is pub lished this morning. being the result of efforts by the American Bar Association in consulta- ton with the American Federation of Labor to bring about legal methods of both preventing and adjusting industrial disputes The subject is one which the Bar Association has long had under consideration. Varied projects have been laid before it's committees One of these has been the plan create q special industrial court with power of coercion the parties to a given troYersy. But the present decision has been to strive for measure embodying the idea of vol untary arbitration rather than compulsory The question has been raised whether it would not be possible to pursue the analogy of the Federal Arbitration law providing for settlement of com msreial disputes and to apply it to collective bargaining between Capital and Labor
 Already outline of the desired legislation has been agreed upon and public hearings it are to be held at the Bar Association Building in New York for three days beginning Thurs day. Feb 16 Opportunity will be given both 10 advocates and opponents of the project. It has the approval of the President of the Ameri- ean Bar Association, Mir. Sas H Strawn who speaks with special appreciation of 'the helpful spirit manifested by the American Federation of Labor It may be said that not for years have relations between organized labor and the large employers been satisfactory as they today. Il to be suspicious time to take a forward step safeguarding what may easily be a troubous future. In any case the plan is up for discussion It. has excellent backing both among lawyers and the large employers been doubtless will also find many critics and objectors. The public hearings are meant to give chance to all If the plan is wrong, let it be shown to be. But if it is right and full of promise let it be proceeded with as one of the most encouraging signs of industrial peace any where visible.

RELIGION NOT AN ISSUE.

Every argument and all reason is back oi the pleas of John W. Davis, Senator Ransdell Representative Garrett and other Democratic lead- CTS for members of the party to reject the coun- sels of bigotry and allow religion to play no part in the party's choice of Presidential can didate and the following national campaign There is not now and has been a time when candidates religion was or should have been of concern to the electorate
 The significance of the tenor Of the addresses of the several Democratic leaders, we believe, is this: that they believe Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York will be his partys Presidential nominee This belief is confirmed by a survey completed early this month by correspondents of the New York World throughout the country which led that publication to predict that Coz Smith would be nominated within six ballots al the Houston convention He is regarded eer- tain to have a majority of votes on the first ballot with enough second choice ballots to put him over when the fayorite sons have had their inning He is far ahead of all competitors at this time there is standard Of eoIpaEison-
 The Worlds tabulation shows Gov. Smith to be the present choice of 2S delegations with total of SIS votes and second choice of sir with 15S votes, giving him total of 7Se first and second choice votes The States listed for him are: Arizona California. Colorado. Connecticut Delaware, Idaho Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota, Montaras Nevada, New Hampshire New Jersey, New Mexico New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina South Dakota, Vermont Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, Wisconsin. To these can be added the six votes from Alaska. He is listed second choice in Arkansas whose first vote will be cast for Senator j. T. Robinson; Kansas Louisiana and Missouri. whose first choice is Senator James A. Reed; Maryland, who will place Gov. Albert c. Ritchie before the vention; and Ohio, whose delegation will be in- structed for former Senator Atlee Pomerene for first choice
 The World credits the other candidates as follows: Senator Reed Kansas, Louisiana and Mis- souri, re- Pomerene, Ohio. AS; Evans Woollen, Indiana, 30; Senator George, Georgia, 2S; Rep resentative Hull, Tennessee, 24; Senator Robin son, Arkansas, 20 Senator Glass, Virginia, 16; Gov. Ritche, Maryland, 16.
 Nine States not assigned to any par ticular candidate Conditions in them such that there has been drift toward any of the men in the field and, unless the opposition to Gov. Smith concentrate some leader in few weeks. they likely to be divided among the 'favorte son' candidates of other deega- tions. The States credited to Ala bama Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Okla homa, Oregon, Texas and Utah. In two of them, Oregon and Utah. there is reported to be much sentiment for Gov Smith, and he has some sup port in Kentucky.

Why Should He Not?
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 Representative La Guardia, of New York is not attempting to Senator Borah by futile questioning. As matter of fact MT. La Guardia's questions of vastly interest and worth than be said of those included in Senator Borahs questionnaire, recently sent to prominent probable candidates for the office of the Presidency.
 In the first place, MT. La Guardia asks the Idaho Senator to include in his questonnaire: Would you be willing to seek appropriation of S200 100000 for vigorous and faithful forcement' of the prohibition law"
 Representative La Guardia is attempting to force the public to comprehend what would be the cost of any adequate effort to enforce the prohibition laws. He is emphasizing the fact that such cost would be staggering for the United States. He wants expression on real enforcement
 As matters stand said the New York Rep resentative, the number of prohibition officers is meager especially in the so-called dry States where enforcement is left entirely to the States Naturally, under such conditions. enforcement is negligible and Mr. La Guardia points out is reason why prohibition is popular in such States
 The New York statesman was so inconsder- ate of Senator Borahs feelings to call his attention to the Senator's own State, where so he alleged, liquor may be obtained in every county in the State, and where fierce competi- ton has resulted in lowering the price of whiskey
 Idaho, numerically, is but small State and the law IS not enforced there, nor is it com pletey enforced anywhere else. La Guardia de- mands to know whether anybody really wants it absolutely enforced-even it's most vociferous supporters. If so he demands that the citizen ship of the country be enlightened to the cost of such enforcement. Is it worth $200, 0O0,- 900 annually to make the United States as dry as the Ant-Saloon League says it wishes it to be made-but does not?

BEATING HOOVER.

How to head off Secretary Hoover from the Republican Presidential nomination to be the problem that is more less worrying some of the Eastern leaders. including William M Butler, Chairman of the Republican National Committee and Charles D. Hilles, Viee-Chairman of the same organization. For weeks or less yelled attacks have been leveled against MT. Hoover, all designed to hamper his political progress and all equally futile. There was the hint thrown out that his eligibility to hold the Presidency was questionable. It had to be aband- oned untenable Then someone started a story that he considered becoming citizen of Great Britain. Once he was offered peerage for his great relief work in Belgium but he turned it down because he placed his American citizenship as the most valuable possession he had. Then there was the marriage incident how he. Quaker married by Catholic priest True, he agreed, but that was because no minister of his own church available. And latest but not last, is the information that the Admin istration's flood program, and incidentally Mr Hoovers, differs from that approved by the Chief of Engineers and for that crime, Mr. Hoover is to be griled by Senate Committee at the be- hest of Senator Willis. That is fine responded MT. Hoover, it is the duty of Cabinet members to give information and aid to Congress in any possible way. When the Senators conclude their examination of the Secretary they undoubtedly will have much clearer idea of the flood prob lem and possible measures of it's solution than they now have. He is familiar ground there and what he has to say is certain to be enlight- sening not only to the Senate but to the country at large.

his path by merely putting straws in his way. Plainly they must be able to produce desirable candidate if their hopes of heading him off from the nomination are to be realized. Charles Nicholson, political writer for the New York World, points to Dwight Morrow brilliant bank CT, conservative business man and now exceng as American Ambassador to Mexico as whom the eyes of the anti-HooYer gorup have fallen with favor. He, like Hoover, is a friend of President Coolidge Although he has severed his connection with the Morgan banking inter- ests, Eastern financial interests would neverthe less find nothing alarming in his candidacy And Eastern politicians, who do not to MT Hoover because he is not what is known political minded, feel that Mr Morrow would prove at least passiby amenable to political advice. So the Morrow boom is born to add to the obstacles the Secretary of Commerce must hurdle in the pre-conventon

SOCIOLOGY-Edna Kimpe

WHAT is sociology? is a question now fire.
w quently asked since the introduction of this
subject into the K.H.S. curriculum.
Sociology is met with in all phases of our
social life for everyone depends more or less
upon society for living. To understand sociol-
ogy should first understand the fundamen-
tails on which it is based In studying it we
find that it is based on society, which word the
dictionary defines somewhat like this: Society
is collective body of persons composing a
community. This definition may be simplifed
to the point that it is humanity in all social
relations, or people working together. From
these definitions we may draw a conclusion of
the meaning of sociology as the science that
treats of the origin and history of society or
the study of men affecting and affected by
association. ,......
Again another question might come up: 'Why
should we study sociology" This may be an
swered with the statement that: Everyone
should know what the social institutions, such
as the family, the school, the state, the church
and other organizations, contribute to the well
fare of humanity, so that we may understand
and appreciate the services these institutions
render and know what we should do as a MEM
Der of these institutions. 1t also establishes a
philosophy of life in pointing out what the
most worthwhile activities and satisfying in
terests of life are, and why they are worth
while and satisfying.
