Put and Take

Men in the automobile business have saying:
You get just as much you pay for"
The idea is that the more you put into a car, the
more you get out of it.
However true that may be in the automobile
business certainly true in the business of politics
This is becoming clearer day by day. as the Senate
committee probes into campaign contributions.
The average party member puts little or nothing
into his party And that's exactly what he gets out.
Not so your Dohenys, your Falls your Ira Nelson
Morrises They put their money into their party and
get something tangible in return. They understand
this so well that they put their money into both
parties. How Doheny and Fall contributed and what
they got is now a wel-kncwn story. How Ira Nelson
Morris contributed became public this week
Morris, a Democrat, contributed to the Democratic
campaign fund in 1912 He was made ambassador to
Sweden Morris contributed $275Oo to the Republican
campaign fund in 1921 and 1928 What he got or ex-
pected to get in return, is not yet known
1t was only Thursday that his former Secretary
revealed his impressive contribution together with the
fact that it vas concealed by using third persons
name. But Morris is a meat packer as we'll as a
diplomat and there have been many ways that a
meat packer in recent years could obtain return
= campaign contribution.
Some day common or garden Democrats and Re
publicans will understand this process Some day they
will discover why it is that protected Industries write
their own tariff schedules, for instances.
Meantime. however, the rank and file of party
members no doubt will continue to think they are
fortunate in having benevolent gentlemen with large
check books standing by pay the partys campaign
bills.
When they get over this delusion, they will decide
to finance their party organizations themselves and
so keep the party organizations for themselves

You NeUer Are at Rest
scripps-Howard Science Editor
by DAVID DIETZ-

XXTE will assume that you just have finished your
w dinner and have settled down in your favorite
easy chair by the living room table to read The
Times.
We are going to ask you to take out your watch
and count the seconds.
Tick-tick, second has passed. You per-
fectly at rest, you think But let if you
Your heart Is not at rest 1t is busy pumping the
blood through your arteries Your lungs are not
at rest They are busy drawing in the oxygen with
out which life is not possible
You hear the ticks Of your watch. That is be-
cause sound waves set up by the watch have struck
your eardrums and set them in vibration. Those
vibrations are carried by the nerves of your head to
your brain, where they interpreted sounds
Light waves travelling with speed of 10000
miles second are entering your eyes. That is why
you are able to read what is written here.
Your body, like all other physical things, is made
up of molecules. These tiny particles in continu-
GUS vibration.
Molecules in their turn are made up of atoms.
Atoms are made up of eectrons which whirl in
orbits at speed of more than $4,000 miles second.
But you will say that these things all internal
and that externally you are at rest. Let us see.
The earth is rotating its axis That means
you are being whirled around on the surface of a
sphere 5000 miles in diameter
The earth is revolving around the sun with a
speed OF eighteen and one-half miles second Tick
tick. In that second you moved eighteen and one
half miles around the sun.
The sun itself is dashing through space with a
speed of 200 miles a second. The earth and other
planets are of course, carried along with the sun.

The President Sparks Porto Rico

President Cooldges rejection of Porto Rico's de-
mand to be made free state instead of "a mere
subject colony" constitutes one of the most remark
able state papers in annals OF the White House.
The island Legislature turned the petition to
Col. Lindbergh, when our goodwill ambassador"
landed there few weeks ago, with the request that
he transmit it to the President Presidents reply
was in the form of letter to Horace Towner, Gov
ernor OF the island.
Frank almost to the point Of being brutal the let
ter draws somber picture of conditions in Porto Rico
before the coming Of the Americans and, with this
his background the President suggests that the in
habtants should be duly grateful for their vastly i'm
proved status
Quoting a native, Dr.. Cayetano Coll Teste, on
local conditions in 1897 just before went in, the
President holds up the following vivid portrait as
typical:
only the laborer the son of our fields, one OF the
most unfortunate beings in the world with pale face,
bare feet, lean body ragged clothing, and feverish
look, walks indferenty with the shadows of ignor-
In his eyes, dreaming OF the cocShghts the
SHUTTLE of the cards. or the prize the provincial lot
terry
1t is hardly possible, the President quotes DR..
Coll Teste as saying, that the climate is to blame for
this Rather it result Of moral and physical vices
prevalent in the island product OF this environ
ment the takes up with the f1rSt woman TO be
found in the neighborood and makes her his mistress,
to crafty lust In the wretched tavern the
food he finds is only the putrid salt meat, Goldfish
filled with rotten red spots, and India rice
Ironically enough, the man who harvested the best
coffee in the world drove to pasture the finest cattle
and worked on sugar estates, had neither meat nor
bread nor sugar for himself because local taxes and
general conditions put them beyond his reach.
Quoting all this back at the Porto Rican legiS-
1ators, the President reminded them that they can
not dispute its accuracy for their economic So
ciety Of Friends of the Country voted DR.. Coll Teste
an award for having written it.
Furthermore the President adds, black the
situation was, the tendency not to improve, but
to grow worse However since the United States TOOK

in every way. So they should not complain. They
are better off than they ever were before.
Every word of which, doubt. is true. But we
can not help wondering whether the Presidents ex-
IRENE candor will do harm than good. 1t is
somewhat like the superintendent of an uplft lnsti-
tuition refusing inmates request for more COM

member what she before she came.
People seldom like that sort Of thing. 1t is human
nature resent seeing themselves held up in all ther

generally speaking, it fills their souls with gall
We may be wrong and We hope we are, but this,
we fear will be the most likely result of the Presidents
message to the Porto Ricans.

Dan Moody'S Stand

Admitting that much, the ques-
ton still remains as to how far
Governor Moody can control the sit
uation.
His youth and spectacular rise
have made him a much talked
about man. He has been mentioned
on several occasions as a possible
candidate for the vice presidency.
Certain Smith supporters have let
it be known that they would con-
slider it very desirable to have him
as a running mate with the idea
Of placating prohibition Democrats.
All that. however, does not prove
his ability to determine what kind
of a delegation Texas will pick or
for whom it will vote.

They Say
Wabash Plain Dealer


Many organization Republican
newspapers and party bosses are
in a very indignant frame of
mind over the entry of Secretary
Hoover's name in the Indiana
presidential primary, claiming
that the action of the Hoover ad-
herents violates all political ethics
and is, in fact, but little short OF
political crime.
Those who are not engaged in
politics as a means of livelihood
fail to share the professional poll
ticians' viewpoint.
The primary law was enacted
in order that the rank and file
might express their opinions OF
the candidates. With every as
pirant barred from the primary
except the self-appointed favor
lite sons of the organization in
the various States, how can the
primary reflect the preference OF
the voters?
The favorite son entries are
ANAAOAA - AlOPCo, III -lllOoV lloGdllCtpf
and the entry is not made in the
hope of electing the alleged
"favorite' to the presidency but to
give the delegates to the organiza-
ton for trading purposes in the
national convention.
The entry of Secretary Hoover
challenges the contention that
Senator Watson is the "favorite
son" of Indiana Republicans. The
scant margin by which the Sena-
tor was elected in the last gen
eral election also cast some doubt
on his claim to being the unani-
nous favorite of the voters Of the
State, or even the voters Of the
Republican party.
There is no harm in listening to
voice of the people. Failure to
do so in the past has placed the
Republican organizations in Indi-
ana in a very precarious position.
If Senator Watson is as strong
with the people as the organiza-
ton believes, the Hoover entry can
do no harm.

Borah' s believers

The trouble with such Followers
is that they are generally not so eff
fective as harder headed methods.
About the best they can do is
clear the conscience Of those who
feel they have been hurt by anoth-
er'S sin.
Desirable as this may be. it hardly
serves the ends of practical Justice
AS Senator Couzen's pertinently
asks What good would it do to
give the thief back his money"

Nose Count at Houston

Those who think that Governor
Smith of New York, or any other
man generally regarded as opposed
to prohibition can obtain the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination with
out soft pedaling the issue until it
practically ceases to be an issue, so
far as the Democratic party is con-
cerned, are too optimistic for their
own good.
1t is not a question of what you
and prefer, but of counting noses
at Houston, and some folks are 60
ing to be surprised at the number
of noses blowing dry even though
they look red.

The Abbot sent the news to

that shows the better side of the

her by speaking of Abelard as the
Socrates, the Plato, and the
Aristotle of his time; he saw, even
then, how modern thought had
begun in this rebel Of the schools;
he acknowledged his greatness in
the tace of a condemning Church;
and he concluded with tender
piety:
