4 decided that one and three
fourths pint Of milk per day is q
reasonable average consumption for
man, whereas the average Anlerl-
can really consumes about three
fourthS Of pint.
AS pointed out by DR.. G. E. A.
Winslow. milk ranks third among
the foodstuffs as a source Of ener-
gy and second in richness in pro-
teins and il fats.
For more than a quarter of a CEN
fury vast amount of attention
has been given in this country to
the obtaining of a pure milk sup
ply, but standards Of cleanliness
in millcing are still low
Contamination still takes place
easily from the COW, from the fin
gers of the mixer, from flies and
from dirty vessels in which the
milk is collected or into which il
may be poured after collecting
Furthermore, under civilized con-
ditions of living. it is necessary to
transmit milk over long distances
and there are numerous possibili-
ties for contamination in transit
Although there is still much

Kellogg's Chance

We hope Uncle Sam will act soon to square his
China policy with the new turn affairs have taken in
that country.
Unless he does he may find that John Bull has
stolen march on him, made friends with the new
China about to take its place in the world and rail-
hed the Chinese to Britain, rather than America as
their friend
1nklings that Sir Austen Chamberlain British for
eign minister is toying with this idea ALREADY have
ieaolleo ClS country And why not? 1t would be the
clever thing to do.
FOR the better Fart of century Britain has not
been any too friendly toward China She has licked
her in war, wrested territory, concessions and in
IDENTITIES from her, and generally made her iump
through the hoop. So the Chinese do not love the
British w
america, on the other hand has been uniformly
friendly More than once she has heLoed save China
from announcement. She has refused to accent ter
FCorlal concessions and has returned her share of
ndemnities forced from China by the foreign powers
therefore, the Chinese like Americans
But now new deal is beginning Old China il
dying. A new China has appeared This new China
needs friends She depends upon these friends to helm
her put her house in order and herself I'D as an
equal among the nations of the world
The first great foreign power therefore which
holds out genuinely helping hand will earn this
new Chlnas gratitude forever Should it be Britain
the gesture would go a long way toward wiping out
the past II America holds back and allows some other
nation to beat her to it, her past friendship for China
similarly will be forgotten
This is only natural China is too busy thinking of
today and tomorrow to become sentimental over a
faded friendship
Young China would find it easier to forgive the
enemy OF yesterday who had become the staunch
friend OF today than she would the friend Of yester-
day who' now that she needs help turns the cold
shoulder or remains indifferent to her appeals That
is only human.
We hope Secretary of State Kellogg will not let his
opportunity slip.

Own Party Handicap

The nation is confronted with no
such imperative call to elect Gov
ernor Smith as is the Democratic
party to nominate him, because the
nation has made no such ass of
itself, and for that reason he may
fail to win next November. If he
does, his defeat at inc polls will not
be analogous to his defeat in the
convention of 1924. He was beaten
in that convention largely as mat
ter of religious prejudice. In the
coming campaign religious prejudice
will cut no great figure.
There are other handicaps, how
ever, which make his situation
difficult. In the first place, there is
the Republican party, we'll organ
lied, in control of Government
patronage and with two overwhelm-
ing majorities to its credit, and a
candidate whose character and abil-
ity are beyond question.
In the second place, there is the
Democratic party, which accepts
him as its standard bearer after an
uncalled for rejection four years
ago, and which has done similar
hip-flop every time it could find an
excuse for the last thirty-two years.
OF the two, the Democratic party
represents the hardest obstacle to
overcome.

Americans Don't Drink Enough Mix

flying the cream, or its chemical or
physical characteristics.
True, this may have some effect
on the yitamin c, the anti-scurvy
vitamin. For this reason all spe-
cialists recommend today that in
fants depending largely on milk for
their diets be given also some fresh
fruit juices, such as either orange
juice or tomato juice.
DR.. Winslow is convinced that
more diseases is due to the lack of
drinking milk than to the drinking
of contaminated milk. So impor-
tant is this substance in the diet
that he feels it should become a
national question.

duction in large concerns and the
attention Of Government health de-
partments to the sanitation and
economics of the industries are ne
cessary," he says, Gin assuring great

TRACY
SAYS:
"Smitk Not ONLY Will Be
the Democratic Candi-
date, but the Democratic
Program"
SAYS:

HOUSTON, June 28.-This is a
l. Il far happier and more en-
enthusiastic convention than that
which was held in Kansas City two
weeks ago. 1t is happy and en-
thusiastic, because it has hopes of
victory.
According to the talk its hopes of
victory are based on the rottenness
that has crept into the Government,
on the prosperity that does not
exist; on the way big business has
been favored and on the way agri-
culture has been neglected. But all
that is for conversational purposes.
If the Democratic party was
sincerely alarmed it would be
serious and grave. If it really felt
the country -Tas in as bad shape as
its orators have declared, it would
be assuming a more solemn aspect.
There is just one reason for the
Democratic party's hope of victory,
and that reason is Alfred Emanuel
Smith. Remove him from the cam
paign, and there would be little left
except the hollow ritualism of
routine politics. His appealing per-
sonality and romantic career rep
resent the substance Of this cam
paign so far as the Democratic party
is concerned. He is the one sub
stantial argument it has to offer,
the one attraction that may change
votes. The rest is bally-hoo.

If there had never been a Steph-
enson and a Shumaker we would
not have had to suffer with such
men as Jackson. Duvall. Updike,
Rowbottom, Robinson with his
birds of feather, and the men,
hers of the late city council.
Shumaker does not want Evans
Woollen to be the vice presidential
candidate if Smith is nominated.
He fears that with Woollen on the
ticket that the State will go DEM
ocratic and he would lose his power.
And by a hypocriticai show of pietr
and concern for the welfare of the
Democratic party, he seeks to block
such move.
Let Shumaker stick to the Re

Al Smiths Running Mate

II the Democrats wise they will choose liberal
running mate for Smith They will get nowhere
facing both ways Either the conservative group Of
the party should control the liberal group. The
conservatives have had their day. But the liberal
cycle has come around again from Wilson to Smith
The ideal vice presidential candidate besides being
liberal should have qualities supplementing those OF
Smith He should be a Wilson kind Of mana
scholar dealer in fundamental principles distinct
from merely the practical and the expedient
The day is past when the Vice President and pre-
siding officer of the Senate is hgurehead. Efficient
Government depends upon better coordination be-
tween the executive and legislative branches paricu
larly between the President and the Senate.
Vice President Dawes has proved that his Office
can be used to determine legislation and to divide the
Administration In addition. the Vice President is
potential President who, like Roosevelt and Coolidge
may be elevated by the death of the chief executive
Therefore the Houston convention would do we'll
to depart from the custom of throwing the candidacy
for this second office as unimportant sop to some
sectional group other party faction which lost first
place on the ticket.
In picking partner for Smith the convention can
not afford to shacke the leader to conservative or
Just a compromise practical" politician.
Such politician is Robinson minority leader of
the Senate who hopes to slip in on the ticket. Most
other names mentioned so far essentially of the
Robinson type Their chief claim to ONCE is that
they are from dry Southern Western States Doubt
less the party could do worse than Robinson, but it
should do better.
Selecting name solely as an example of type
rather than as the probable nominee Claude q.
Bowers is the kind of liberal who would unity and
strengthen the Smith ticket.
Author of Jefferson and Hamilton" and 1.-THE
Party Battles of the Jackson Period" Bowers is one
of the most thorough students living today OF the
fundamentals Of democracy. AS jackson day orator
last January he rose above the academic to take an
active place in his party He knew his democracy He
appealed for these things that brought the party into
being the things from which the party has Strayed
afar
Bowers keynote address at Houston a call to
battle for the principles of Jefferson and jackson.
That is the only way to victory.
The ticket can not be straddIe when fundamental
Democratic issues are involved.

Saving the Nation

When it is possible to arrest citizen, I'M
der city ordinance, for talking, it is about
time that the city council look over those or
dinances and see whether it is necessary 10
have such protection of the Nation on the
books
1t seems rather absurd for any city coun-
Gil to pass an ordinance making it petty
crime to DESTROY the government by words
1t is important only as it indicates grow
ing tendency of the times to throw away such
safeguards of freedom of speech as still exist
when intolerance, bigotry and Indifference per-
nit judges and courts to discard the Constltu-
ton through injunctions and other means OF
taking away fundamental rights.
The arrest in this city last night of citl-
zen has its comic aspects, were it not serious 1t
appears that he expressed an opinion that the
Volstead act was not exactly divine lnsplra-
ton and was working badly.
Then he finds himself signing bond for
his liberty in police station.
He should have known, of course, that
the Volstead act is complete and perfect sue
cess The two great national conventions have
proved that
In both conventions there are resolutions
that pledge the country to the strictest of en-
forcement That satisfies the dry professional
leaders who can raise funds to hire Senators
and tell the people how great progress is being
made
And in both conventions the bootlegger IS
more numerous than the preacher. Reports
show that the delegates are served with more
liquor than they can carry. Today at Houston
and two weeks ago at Kansas City the men who
voted for strict enforcement winked at viola
tons and very many of them violated the law
to the extent Of inebriety.
But the city ordinances will save the Nation.
We have one, it seems, that makes it a crime
to publicly say anything that tends to destroy
good government and some one had an idea
that criticism of Volsteadsm is the super crime
of the hour.
Any inroad on the right of free speech is
important. For all other liberty depends upon
it. Every has right in this country to
advocate any change in government, with the
single exception of overthrowing it by force.
That is revolution and those who engage IN
revolution must of course undertake to pay
the penalties for losing.
Instead of such ordinances, the city council
might adopt one providing rostrums in Unis
versity Park where any one who has anything
on his chest which he thinks will help the pub
lie, might speak to his heart S content
Suppressing free speech is rather danger
GUS businessmen in times when it sometimes
appears that most of us have forgotten how
many centuries of struggle and sacrifice it re-
ouired to establish it in written Constitution.

Polaris is white in color with slightly yellowsh

1t appears small because it is so far away It is

Smith Whole Show

Governor Smiths popularity with
the Democratic party today illust-
rates one of those strange and
ironic paradoxes which character
ize our political system. -Four
years ago he was not only opposed.
but cordially hated by a sufficiently
powerful minority to make his
nomination impossible The injec-
ton Of his candidacy caused such
a rift as to spoil all prospects Of
success at the polls.
1t is hard to reconcile the in
f1uence which Ku-Klux Klanism
exercised at New York in 1924 with
what is occurring at Houston. When
Chairman Robinson mentioned
religious liberty" in his speech
Wednesday noon, the convention
went wild. The ensuing demon
stration was like that which
custom has decreed for the popular
candidate and that is really what
it amounted to.
The dry bloc disintegrates, pro-
hibition is soft pedaled, the voice of
tom Tom" Hef1in is conspicuous
for its silence, the 100 per centers
no longer strut their stuff, McAdoo
is not mentioned and though the
resolutions committee goes through
the conventional forms of argument
and hearing, the Importance Of its
recommendations long since has
been discounted.
Aired E. Smith not only will be
the Democratic candidate, but the
Democratic program. His record
will be accepted as a much more re-
liable indication of party policies
than anything that may be said or
written at this convention. When
it comes to voting. the people will
decide, not whether they prefer the
Democratic or the Republican party,
but whether Governor Smith can
give this country a better admins
tration than it has enjoyed during
the last seven years, and they will
decide that question on general i'm
pressions, rather than on specific
statements.

Enemies Help

To a measurable extent Ku-
Kluxisn is responsible for the exist
ing situation. The Democratic
party merely is reacting in a log
ical way. Shame over the intol-
erance which it tolerated four
years ago has made it liberal be-
yond its own expectations. The tar
bucket brigade accomplished moth
ing so distinctly as to confront the
Democratic party with the neces-
sity of disproving that it had been
infected with un-American prin-
ciples.
Instead Of being handicapped by
the uncalled-for cutlery against his
religion, Governor Smith has been
helped by it.
1t is a strange thing that those
who preached the doctrine of mar
rowness could not foresee this
inevitable result. They only dug 2
pit to trap themselves, and that
too. with the history of the ages to
warn them. There has never been
a wave of fanaticism yet but what
it resulted in more liberal te1den-
cies.
without rejecting in any way
on Governor Smiths remarkable
career, it is reasonable to suspect
that he would not have attained the
he now enjoys, except for the I'M
intentional aid of his enemies.
SANDER has played no unim-
rortant part in bringing out those
qualities which have endeared him
to the people of New York, but
which we're little known to the
country at large until abuse made
them the subject of universal in
quiry and discussion.
