Power in Congress

In view of this situation, it seems
peculiar that we should be paying
so much more attention to what
presidential candidates say than to
the election of Senators and Rep
reSentatives.
Hoover'S dry declaration means
little, unless he has dry Congress
to back it up. BY the same token,
Governor Smiths wet attitude
means little, unless he has a wet
Congress to back it up.
In spite of this obvious fact, the
campaign, whether for rigid en-
foreement of modification, not only
centers around what these two men
say, but blithely disregards the con-
gresSional lineup.
Putting aside the question of
whether such an attitude conforms
to the spirit Of the Constitution and
our traditions, it certainly does not
conform to common sense.
AS between effective law enforce
ment and notification, the Presi-
dent has it within his power to do
a great deal
AS between the repeal and reten-
ton of present laws, he has nc pow
err, except that of suggestion.
1t looks as if those interested in
repeal or modification should pay
more attention to the selection OF
Congressman.

Times Readers Voice Vices

1t may we'll be questioned whether,
when the need for policemen, who
should be only policemen, is so great,
there should be any diversion of
any of them from the duty and
functions of policemen to the field
of music. as it has not yet oeen
found that music, no matter how
harmonious, ever has soothad the
savage breast of the bandit, bur-
glar or holdup man.
The police chief may be right in
his urgent plea for more men by
reason of the present unsatisfactory
condition, but the greater the need,
the more imperative is the duty to
make the best possible use of those
we now have.
While it is realized that a police
mans lot is not a happy one, it
does not alter the fact in the minds
rof the citizens that just now there
is need for the Sternest action, the
cornpletest utilization of the whole
force in campaign for the protec-
ton of the property and lives of
our citizens.

Must Enforce Laws

Considering the structure OF this
Government, and more especially the
division of that structure into three
distinct branches-executive, legis-
lative and judicial-is it quite logical
to attach such Importance to what
presidential candidates say with re-
gard to an article of the Constitu-
ton, whether we believe in its re-
tention of repeal?
The veriest motive must know that
the President of the United States
can not alter the law Of the land,
much less a provision of the Con-
stitution. The most he can do is
make recommendations to Con-
gress. Outside of that his sworn
duty is to enforce the law, regard
less of whether he, as an individual,
likes it or not.
To a layman, it looks as though
a good many people-Nicholas Muir
ray Butler among them-were de-
pending on the executive branch of
the Government for legislation. Is
that in accord with the Constitu-
ton, or the well-established prin-
ciples of this Government? On the
other hand, is it not in accord with
the philosophy Of dictatorship?

DR.. Buffers Disassociation

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University and staunch Republican, has written the
New York Times that he wishes to disassocate him
self" from the stand Herbert Hoover has taken en-
prohibition and national defense.
1t is not difficult to agree with DR.. Buffers general
position prohibition. He realizes the abuses that
have grown up-"the present reign of awlessness, de-
bauchery and government made crime"-and wants
these abuses ended He is willing to face the facts and
seek their solution and eventually that must be done.
AS regards national defense his attitude seems
extreme He takes Hoover to task for his advocacy Of
adequate preparedness for defense and argues that
it has been proved aacious that adequate armament
is factor in maintaining peace He reads into
Hoover's acceptance speech the idea that Americas
ornaments must be so great that other nations will
fear us.
There is nothing in Hoovers speech to justify this
view. Hoover would maintain peace by 1.-The build
ing of good will by wise and sympathetic handling Of
international relations and the adequate preparedness
for defense" He would cooperate with the League
of Nations particularly in its efforts to lni
tation of armament He supports arbitration and the
settlement Of disputes through international law He
asserts 1--WE have been and particularly DESTROYS
of furthering the limitation of ornaments"
Nowhere in Hoovers speech is there any jingoistic
declaration, nor is there anything that might be con-
strued as a threat any other nation True Hoover
asserts I'VE must and shall maintain naval de-
tense and merchant marine in the strength and
efficiency which will yield to us at all times the pri
mary assurance of liberty. that is of national safety
The American people will support him in this.
The world is armed America repeatedly has DEM
onstrated her willingness to go along with other
powers in the reduction CT ornaments and has taken
the leadership in what has been accomplished in that
direction But America not proceed alone. DR..
Butler apparently proposes complete pacsm for this
country's role; we not to be prepared to defend
ourselves if necessity arises, but to rely on the
inherent goodness of the rest of the world when
there is dispute.
DR.. Buffers dream of world in which all is peace
and forbearance will find a responsive echo in the
hearts of all Americans for nation do not like
war; Unhappiy, however, the time has not yet ar
rived when we strip ourselves of the means OF
protection.

Folly to Ignore Laws

I happen to be one of those who
believe not only that the Volstead
Act should be modified, but that the
Eighteenth Amendment should be
altered. I believe this because of a
feeling that both are contrary to
the spirit of the Constitution and
our traditions.
For that very reason I do not
want to see the Volstead Act modi-
fed, or the Eighteenth Amendment
changed, except as it can be done
in strict accord with that same
spirit. If we are to keep faith with
the ideals of our fathers it would
be folly to ignore them in one re-
spect for the sake of attaining them
in another
Prohibition as represented by the
Eighteenth Amendment and Vol
stead Act is no more contrary to the
spirit of the Constitution and our
traditions than is the hallucination
that it can be modified, or repealed
except in the usual way.

Light On Power Disputes

The Federal Power Commission wisely has de-
cided to conduct public hearings in its disputes with
licensed hydro electric companies over amounts that
1epitinoately can be added to the fixed capital o.
such enterprises.
An airing of these disputes, involving many mil
lions of dollars will contribute to badly needed pup
lie education ON the subject of utility regulation
Since rates for electricity are based in substantial
part on what the companies succeed in getting ap-
proved by State commission as fixed capital there
is great incentive to pad this figure by obtaining
allowance for questionable promotion fees, etc.
Utility experts assert that not few power COM
panies have succumbed to the temptation to PAD ner
capital accounts, and that sleepy and sunservient
rblic commissions have frequently allowed them to
get away with it.
The Federal Power Commission has responsibility
for seeing that the capital accounts of hydro-eectric
companies licensed by it, at present claiming an IN
vestment of over $7OOOOO0O0 not padded because
the Federal water power act empowers the Govern
ment to take over these companies at the END Oh
Aftv-vear license period for what was actually in
vested in them.
In the past the power commission has endeaVoreo
to iron out disputes these accounts by negotiation
Now is proposes to have companies licensed by 1t,
defend at open hearings, additions to fixed capita
which it thinks should be thrown out.
The records Of such hearings should provide an
various State commissions. and focus national at
tention on the problem OF effective public utility
regulation

Civil Service

The principle of merit examinations for positions
in the city service should be very firmly established
in the city government. The city council will have
public support in that effort.
But it must be real civil service which will en-
tirely eliminate political pull and preference from
either obtaining holding jobs the city pay roll
The policy of giving out jobs the police force and
elsewhere in return for political activities which pre-
valed.under the old political administrations has
ated conditions which need attention quite much
the method of placing in the service.
Under a political regime, mere years of tenure
might suggest un1tneSs, rather than fitness. The
man who could deliver the most votes rather than
the best service was likely to last the longest.
Strict examination to fitness and ability to give
days intelligent work for a days pay is essential and
should suffer IS of position promotion
because of his political opinions.
But it is also important to include means of
removing from the public service those who obtained
their jobs by pun and either unfit unwilling to
give real service to the public.

RIGHT to UnH1ake Laws

We face no mystery. We have just
as much right to unmake laws as
we have to make them. The same
methods by which the Eighteenth
Amendment was adopted and the
Volstead Act authorized are availa-
BILE for their repeal or modification.
Any time Congress is willing to
change the latter, we can have it
changed, and any time three-fourths
of the States are willing to modify
or repeal the former, we can do that.
The President, howevt =, can do
nothing but recommend, and that
is futile, unless Congress is ready
to take favorable action.

tions of the Greeks.
The idea of the existence of basic elements
first put forward by Empedocles of Agrigentum.
His list of elements seems fantastic to us today
But let us not forget that ne set the world thinking
along the right track.
He listed fire, air, earth and water as the four
elements All things, he believed, were made up of
these four.
Empedoces physician as well as a poet,
statesman and religious teacher In the early days
of civilization it possible for to
himself with many things.
Empedoces taught that health was the result of
the proper balance of equilibrium between the four
elements fire, air, earth and water in the human body
He believed that there four essential quail
ties connected with these four elements namely, heat
and cold, moisture and dryneSs
Later physicians built upon this idea, the theory
which became known the doctrine of humorS.
This was the theory that the body pervaded
by certain juices humors they called, and
that health depended upon the condition of these
fluids.
That theory has of course been abandoned But
again. it is interesting to note that it vaguely
the right track.
We know today that the ductless glands do pour
secretons into the blood stream and that these
lions have much to do with health. The failure OF
any gland for example, may lead to serious disease
Empedocles attained high reputation during his
lifetime and thousands focked to him for treatment
and advice.
