Editor Times-The Democrats
should take up a collection to edu-
cate the leaders of the party. Send
them to some school where they
can learn politics. Most people
know that Democratic leaders do
not understand politics. If they did,
they would not have run AL Smith,
a wet and Catholic, for President.
Poor leadership let the success of
the party go for the success of the
individual
This writer, who is more than
SIS years old and a wage Garner, is
getting tired of hearing the Demo-
Gratis tell what wonderful men they
are, when they do not even under
stand politics. When they have a
chance to do something, they al
ways pull a bonehead trick.
They must reorganize the party
or do something, or lot of us wage
,earners are going into the Socialist
party. The Republican party stands
for big business. 1t never has done
anything for the wage Garner. The
party leaders, however, understand
American people and politics-that
is how they win. 1 would like to
see others write The Times, telling
what they think is wrong with the
Democrats.

Japan'S New Emperor

While we were electing our thirty
first president, Japan was making
preparations to crown her 124th
emperor.
The reign of a Japanese emperor
averages much longer than the term
of a President. Where we are be-
ginning to measure the life of our
government in centuries, the Japa-
nese can measure theirs in millen-
NUNS
One wonders if we will be elect
ing Presidents 1000 years hence; if,
with all our wealth, prosperity and
enlightenment, we have succeeded
in developing a political structure
that will retain its form that long
Most of us admire the Japanese
because of the progress" they have
made during the last few years.
What we ought to admire them for
is their ability to make that prog
ress without provoking such a revo-
luton in their ideals and traditions
as would lead to chaos.
1t is quite possible, of course, that
Japan one day will become a re-
public. If she does, the chances are
that the necessary changes will be
made with orderliness and precision

Women in Congress

AS a result of the election, we now
have seven women in congress.
where We formerly had four.
Curiously enough, but without the
slightest significance, the three new
ones are all named Ruth-Rut1
Bryan owens of Florida, Ruth
Hanna Mccormick of Illinois and
Ruth Pratt of New York.
The first is a daughter of the late
William j. Bryan and the second a
daughter of the late Mark Hanna.
While Mrs. Pratt might not be
able to claim such distinguished
antecedents, she has made more
than a local reputation for herself
as a member Of the New York board
of alderman.
If one may credit the unofficial
returns, a Negro has been elected
to congress for the first time N
more than twenty-five years.
He is Oscar De Priest, Chicago, a
real estate man and former alder
man.

The size and nature of Hoover's
burden are foreshadowed in the
foreign attitude. France is not en-
thusiastic over his election, Neither
is Italy. One does not have to
look very far to find the reason.
France and Italy still hope for
further debt reduction, if not can
collation.. They know such a hope
is vain with Hoover as President.
1t would probably have been just
as vain with Governor Smith as
President, but that is something
they did not know. Any change
was for the best, in their judge
ment.
Then there is the disarmament
problem especially as it has been

TINE twilight of Mr.. Coolidge"s
4 presidential day recalls its acci-
dental dawn and admonishes us
once more that Chance is the Prince
of Politicians.
Coolidge's headquarters at the ma
tional Republican convention of 1920
at Chicago, were small, remote and
lonely, hardly a whistling station for
the throngs which surged through
the corridors of the Congress hotel,
seeking Lowden, Wood, Johnson and
Harding.
The Bay state executive was not
even considered for Vice-President,
this parachute, so highly esteemed
by presidential aspirants, being ten
dered to Hiram Johnson, who de-
clined it, after which it was agreed
to nominate Lenroot of Wisconsin.
But when the time came to nomi-
nate Lenroot, the gentleman who
was to make the speech was absent,
whereupon delegate McCammant of
Oregon leaped to his feet and nonli-
mated Coolidge, and it was all over.
Then Harding's death, the coal oil
lamp Inauguration, etc.

Then day he made IA discovery of equally great
Importance The rod-like things had begun to dry

Koch decided that it was time to take his dis
coveries to Berlin So he set out to of his old
professors the botanst, Professor Cohn.
Cohn asked many of his colleagues at the univer-
sity TO and hear Koch. They gathered together,
most of them with great smiles for they expected to
have great fun with this village doctor
But when Koch arrived he did lecturing. He
came in with his beloved microscope and test tubes
full of the dread microbes and mouse trap full

He showed them the microbes under the micro

periments which he had done
There were no pig smiles, not even the suggestion
of tiny one. Tense excitement Feigned everywhere.

WE have not only elected new
w President, but a new congress,
and not only a new congress, but
new officials in most of the states.
Besides that, we have decided quite
few incidental questions.

boxing.

The largest single bond issue au-
thorized was S1OO,00O,000 for road
construction in Iowa, while Mis-

purpose.
In Pennsylvania, where bond is

West discards another heart and
North the seven of spades.
South now leads the eight OF
spades, which West trumps with the
queen and North overtrumpS with
the ace. North leads the seven of
trumpS. East wins the trick with
the nine and South discards his
heart. East is now forced to lead
q spade to SoUth's good queen.
This problem offers one or two
interesting variations. If West
trumps the opening club lead with
the queen, North overtrumps.
North then leads a trump, which
East wins with the nine, South
discarding his heart. But East is
now forced to lead either club
or a spade, either of which gives
North and South the. remaining
tricks.
It is also interesting to note
that if West at any time trumps a
club with his five, North and South
will win all of the five tricks And
many players may wonder why
North discards the ace instead of
the seven of spades. provided West
does not trump, on the first trick.
This is necessary in case West
should trump the second lead of
clubs. If the seven instead of the
ace were discarded, North, after
overtrumping and giving the lead
to East, would find a spade being
led to him from East
Since South would be void of re-
entry, North would be forced to win
the trick and then lead his losing
heart.

The French Crisis

The resignation of Raymond Poncare, premier Of
France may cost the country dearly If he refuses to
come back. And he may not. 1t depends.

hour performed the miracle.
Today thanks to him. France is In pretty fair

tlre looks bright So some Of the politicians who,
in.1926, came to him qua.ng to beg him to save the
country, now have summoned sufficient courage to
attack him, His job looks good 10 them, that
the sky is blue and the sea calm, and they'd like
to be captain while
Thus the radical-socialis party in convention at
Angers voted a resolution to deny the premier its
support unless he consented to trina the budget to
its pattern notably to certain articles de-
signed to give more freedom to religious instruction.
Unless he agreed to do this they declared, the
four radica1-socalist members Of the coalition cabinet
would have to resign. And resign they did, just as
parliament was convening for the first of its winter
sessions. 4os

1t is a dangerous game the French politicians are

THE GREAT POLITICIAN

LONG STRINGS OF CANS

TINE question whether the vote
Il of a man, cast under the absent
voters law, but who died before the
election, could be counted, reminds
us of the claim that the late Gov
ernor Goebel of Kentucky, who was
assassinated, was really dead when
the oath was administered to him,
to make his Lieutenant Governor
eligible to the office.
n
The best contribution in the re-
cent election to our national well
fare was the increased interest of
the women of the country, who up
to this time have not taken the
right of suffrage seriously.
Now if they will keep this in
terest and direct it toward honest
state and local government, re-
gardless of party. they will vindicate
the hopes of those who pioneered
for womans rights.

Pupils ReUeaI Value of Health Training

A definite improvement was found
in health habits in. the trained
group.
The rate of gain in both height
and weight for the children receiv-
ing health education was measur-
ably and significantly greater than
for the children in the group that
did not receive health education.
Children who were underweight
gained a normal weight. 1t is thus
definitely established that most
healthful habits of living do result
from the health education program
and that they produce an improved
rate Of growth in children who have
such opportunities.

KEEPING UP
With
THE NE WIS
BY LUDWELL DENNY

MA I /ASH1NGION, NOV. 9.-The
w bi-party progressive group,
which held balance of power in the
last senate, are still trying to weigh
the results of the national election.
Part of their early disbursement
is tempered by hopeful signs, but
even yet there is no general agree
ment regarding the net effect.
The most obvious result is that
they have lost their easy balance
of power through Republican sena-
torial gains. Now the senate con-
sists of AZ Republicans, 46 Demo-
Gratis, and l Farmer-Laborite The
new senate, unless late returns
change the count, will have SIS Re
publicans, 40 Democrats and
Farmer -Laborite.
But, though the new situation will
lessen the progressiVes' power. it
will not end it, by any means. For
there are many progressive issues
on which even the new nominal
Republican majority of fourteen
will be insufficient to prevent con-
troll of legislation by a progressive
Republican-Democratic bloc.
There is no exact manner bv
which progressive gains and losses
in the election can be measured, for
the reason there is no fixed stand
ard for determining a progressive,
and for the reason that the progress
sive group shifts from one sena-
tcTial vote to the next.
Not counting the Democratic
members Of the progressive bloc.
the Republican members vary on
different issues from four to six
! teen.
The most heartening result Of the
election to the progreSsives is that
the Farmer-Laborite and all of the
four Republicans of the group up
for reelection were victorious. OF
the nine Democrats up for re-elec-
ton, who roughly may be consid-
cred members of the progressive
group at its highest numerical
strength, all but one were re-elect-
ed, despite the so-called Hoover
landslide.
THE paper which perhaps is
l. most closely identified with
the progressive bloc, the weekly
Labor, published before election a
list of nineteen senatorial candi-
dates which it "unreservedly COM
mended." All but three were mem
bers of the senate. OF these nine
teen, sixteen were elected. Only
one Of the sixteen present sena-
tors was defeated, and that was
Nicely, Democrat Of West Virginia,
who is such an unimportant mem
Der of the group that he generally
is not rated a progressive. Two
of the new candidates indorsed by
Labor were defeated: Hay, Demo-
crat Of Missouri, who ran for jim
Reeds seat, and Cermak, Democrat
of Illinois. d.,
But victory in sixteen out Of nine
teen contests has encouraged the
progressives.
Most important to them was the
reelection of all the members Of
what may be called the progressive
inner-circle:
Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Labor,
Minnesota.
Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat,
Montana.
Robert M. La Toilette Jr., Re
publican, Wisconsin.
Lynn J. Frazier, Republican,
North Dakota.
Clarence c. Dill, Democrat, Wash
ington.
Robert S. Howell Republican, Ne
! braSka
It especially is considered sig
nifcant that Wheeler, who ran for
Vice President with senior La Fol-
lette four years ago, and Dill, both
running on the Democratic ticket,
were able to hold their states which
defeated AL Smith.

TIME Progressive group in the next
L. senate will be under the unoffi-
cial leadership Of the veteran George
w. Norris, Republican of Nebraska,
who bolted Hoover for Smith.
Among the Republican Progressive
holdovers are Blaine Of Wisconsin,
who supported Smith, and Brook
hart of Iowa, and Norbeck and Nc
Master Of South Dakota Brook
hart, like Johnson Of California,
who was reelected this time, some
times sides with the G. O. P. ma
jority against the minority.
There is much discussion about
what Borah will do. The answer
seems to be that he will continue
to play a lone hand as always, but
generally will side with the Pro
gressives.
Because Borah was key man IN
the nomination and election of
Hoover, some expected him to be-
come Hoover's unofficial senate
leader.
But the fact that he campaigned
for Shipstead, Farmer -Laborite,
against the Republican senatorial
candidate in Minnesota, is interpre-
ted to mean that Borah will be
neither more nor less a member of
the Progressive bloc than he has al
ways been.
The attitude Of the Republican
Progressives Of both the Norris and
the Borah type naturally will de-
pend upon the policy of the new ad
ministration.
If Hoover develops the policy eX-
pected by his liberal supporters, the
Progressive group will tend to be
absorbed.
But if Hoover proves to be another
Coolidge, as the party conservatives
hope, the Progressive group prob
ably will not only continue its mill
fancy, but add to its numbers,
