Smith on the Tariff

Al Smith talked on the tariff at Louisville Saturday
night In effect he committed his party to the tariff
is, abandoning the parys historic though more or
less futile, opposition to the Republican protective
tehory.
This was scarcely treason on the candidates part
Since he thereby merely joined in general retreat
Other party leaders, more accustomed to discussion of
national questions than the New York Governor have
been talking softly on the tariff for some years.
For little bit he bTeezed along to the entertain
ment of his delighted Kentucky audience it ap-
peared that Smith might put his finger on a serious
weakness in the c. o. Ps tariff wall. He spoke of the
hard times in the textile coal and agricultural in
dustres.
The first of these happens to be among the most
highly protected and it in very dire straits not
withstanding But Al passed over this opportunity
He merely named the three industries in making his
point that American prosperity is not as complete
the party in power would have the country think
On one point he did score. His criticism of Presi-
dent Coondges treatment of the United States tariff
commission was valid. The President has abused his
power over the commissioners and has ignored the
purpose of the legislation creating the commission
He has not permitted it to be disnterested fact
finding body of experts. His treatment of Commits
sioner David Lewis always will remain one of the
shameful episodes OF the Coolidge administration.
Smlth hao rehearSed thlS story OF the presidential
request for Lewis resignation in advance of his ap-
pontment. He told it well. For his own part he
promised the tariff commission should be permitted
to function free from any executive pressure if he
should be elected.
On the whole, however, it was bit disheartening
to 1nd The strongest Democratic candidate in many
years abandoning issue for which there much to
be said Obviously me big business men who have
joined the Democratic ranks for this campaign have
not done so with their eyes shut.

The Biggest Show

With the Graf Zeppelin long over
cue, it is hard to get excited about
politics, even though Governor
Smith has Endorsed protection and
promised that there will be no gen.
eral revision of the tariff in case
of his election.
By common consent, people turn
toward that crippled dirigible fight
ing her way to LakehurSt against
tremendous odds, as representing a
bigger thrill than politics could
possibly offer.
They see her adventure both as
involving the risk of sixty lives and
as the conclusion of long series of
experiments.
The jeopardy of sixty lives would
be enough to create excitement in
itself, but when it is bound up with
an enterprise which embodies a
possible change in worldwide trans
portation and that may alter the
currents of travel and commerce,
people are intrigued.

world of science by an important discovery. He had
proved that there were two kinds of tartaric acid
crystals and that the difference in behavior of diff
feren samples of the acid depended upon which kind
of crystal you were dealing with.
One of the distillers, man by the name OF Bigo,
had a son at the university. He had heard from the
boy about Pasteur So he decided to ask this bril-
liant young scientist for help
Pasteur was not the type of scientist who hid him
self away in his laboratory He enjoyed giving public
lectures and making contracts with the citizens of the
town. So when Bigo asked his help, Pasteur agreed
to visit the factory and what could be DONE
Pasteur knew nothing about the business of max
ing alcohol out of beet sugar But he liked to tinker
and experiment. He was always thinking up new
experiments frequently of the sort which looked
crazy but which if successful would revoutonize
science He was willing to try his hand at any sort
of research
So he went with Bigo to the factory. He inspected
the watts where the beet pulp fermenting properly
and producing alcohol. Then he examined the watts
where something had gone wrong.
He dredged up some Of the pulp from the watts
which working properly and put it in some test
tubes.
Then he filled other test tubes with the graysh
pulp from the watts that sick, the ones which
were not producing alcohol
He took these back to his laboratory.
He decided to begin his investigation by examining
the two samples under the microscope.
We shall see next what the microscope revealed.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 15.-Thosc
ID vHth whom I have talked admit
that Massachusetts is doubtful. BY
the same token, no two agree as TO
how it will go. Local politics, as well
as a heavy shift of voters from one
party to the other, makes the situa-
ton impossible to guess.
Republicans speak glib'y of a
100000 majority, but in su"h a way
as to leave the impression that they
are talking to keep their courage up.
Democrats speak just as gltbly OF
carrying the State, but with the
same lack Of assurance.
1t is Rhode Island over again,
with religion and prohibition play
ing about the same part. / hear
more political talk here than I have
in any section of the country, but it
does not mean much. Few issues
are discussed, except Volsteadism
and prosperity.
One finds it hard to escape their
prejudices. They not only are
thinking more about Hoover and
Smith than about party politics or
national problems, but they are
thinking more still about traditions,
racial alignments and religious affil-
iations.
There is a tremendous difference
between what one hears in public
and in private.

Race Is Close

The interest is tense. Both
parties have nominated strong
state tickets. On the Republican
side, Frank Allen, a manufacturer, is
running for Governor, while Loring
Young, a popular lawyer, is running
for United States senator. On the
Democratic size, General Cole is
gubernatorial candidate, while Sen
ator David I. Walsh is up for re-
election.
Colonel William M. Butler, former
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee and unsuccessful
candidate for the United States
senatorship two years ago, seems to
have been forgotten. Observers de-
clare that the election will be de-
termined on national issues.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic
candidate for governor of New York,
spoke here to an audience which
damned Mechanics hall, Saturday
night, and Herbert Hoover will make

here Monday night These two
events have brought interest up to
fever. heat. Both parties are we'll
organized, and hard at work. More
dependence is placed on house to-
house canvasses than on speeches or
pamphlets.
1t commonly is felt that very few
votes will be changed between now
and election day, and that the big
problem is to get people interested
and out to the polls.
Like many other sections, Mas
sachusetts expects a record vote.

Don't Run Away, Mr.. Leslie

1t is difficult to understand how man who
aspires to the high Office of Governor can
refrain from giving the people either an ex-
PLANTATION or an apology for making a bald
charge against his opponent and meeting with
an immediate and direct refutation, not from
the opponent, but from Judge A. B. Anderson,
whose word will be taken in Indiana.
Yet Harry Leslie, in his Fit. Wayne broad
cast, charged his opponent Frank Daley, with
being negligent as a prosecutor, by inference
protector of corruption and elaborated to
the extent Of declaring that "Judge Anderson
kicked him to glory"
Judge Anderson promptly declared tha&
what Leslie had said was untrue He went
farther and described the official conduct of
Daley as "vigilant, jealous and upright"
Any man win sufficient dignity to be Gov
ernor would have promptly acknowledged his
mistake, if he had been imposed upon by his
associates, even if there should have been am
pie reason to suspect his associates,
Any man with enough carefulness to be
Governor might have been expected to find out
in advance from the witness to be called upon
slanderous statement.
Of course, if Leslie can stagger through his
campaign under the odium of being branded by
Judge Anderson as retailer of false charges,
it will furnish an unwelcome commentary on
Indiana if it's citizens should elect him Gov
ernor.
AS matter of fact what Leslie is doing is
running away from his own charge.
He is running away from an answer to
plain questions as to why he made the charges.
He is running away, much as might fright
oned hit and run driver, from the scene of an
accident.
The people should not let him run. He
should be made to apologize for his SANDER and
reract his statement or be branded as unfit
for the job.

The blood pressure of persons

ordinarily between ITO and 140
millimeters Of mercury as measured
on the scale of the apparatus that
physicians usually use for this pur-
pose.
When the person tested climbs

comes elevated. In older persons
the duration of the elevation is
much longer than in younger per-
sons.
The increase of the blood pres

climb of stairs is from thirty to sixty
millimeters and lasts sometimes
more than five minutes.

The Parallel of Corruption

OF course Governor Smith should not be held
responsible for the thievery of Tamany under Tweed
and Croker. Furthermore the questionable Tammany
doings occurring in New York City during Smiths
cupancy of the govenorshp should not be charged to
him.
BY the token there is absolutely justifica-
ton for the charge by Smith that ties Herbert Hoover
up to the political crooks of the Harding adinistra
ton. There is nothing in Hoovers entire public career
that give rise to the slightest suspicion that there
is in Hoover any sympathy with the crookedness of
FALL Forbes and Miller
We don't hold Smith responsible for Tammany, but
there would be just as much reason for holding him
responsible for the Tammany of today which is far
from angelic there is for holding Hoover response

Harding administration.

Mans Blood Pressure Increases at Fifty

In the same way, mental ex-
element causes elevation from
thirty-five to forty millimeters Of
the blood pressure in older people
and the elevation lasts longer than
in younger persons.
This evidence Is of the greatest
Importance in indicating to people
beyond As years of age their habits
of life.
Since such increases in the blood
pressure are not to the best inter-
ests of the health of the person con-
cerned, older people are not to I'M
dertake such severe efforts or carry
them on for such long periods as
do younger persons.
They are to understand also
that mental excitement brings in
creased blood pressure. When the
blood pressure is abnormal, such
an increase may result in apoplexy.
A calm mind is of the utmost i'm
portance under such circumstances.

Epitonne of Life

Marie of Denmark died Saturday
night. Like other people, she came
into the world helpless infant and
went out of it a helpless old woman.
Between whites she was empress of
Russia. That epitomizes human
existence.
Marie sat on the throne of Russia,
with her husband, Alexander III, for
nearly thirty years, and reigned as
doWager empress for twenty-five
thereafter.
Pondering the conditions which
made her giant spouse a craven
coward and her Inflated son the
victim of mysticism, she saw the
necessity for more liberal govern
ment in Russia, saw the storm COM
ing and realized that it must break,
but found herself as impotent as the
poorest moujic.
That, too, epitomizes human ex-
istence, even for the greatest.
