Jail a Full Page AID

Charles Smith, head of the AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Atheism, goes to Jail in Arkansas on
charge of distributing printed ma
terial, calculated to provoke a
breach of the peace"
Stripped of technicalities, the
charge against him amounted to
neither more nor less than preach
ing atheism. He might have es-
capped by paying small fine, but
that was too tame climax.
However one may disagree with
Smith cl theology, his sense of
advertising value is beyond doubt.
Paying a fine would have brought
him only one chance for publicity
Staying in Jail twenty-six days and
half may bring him more. AS. for
that tolerance about which we hear
so much on every hand, it seems to
hold no hope for Smith. His re-
ligious complex, or lack of one,
places him beyond the pale of the
observation-disclosures which so many are
advocating.
Under the constitution, we are
at liberty to elect an atheist Presi-
dent of the United States. If that
were to happen, would Arkansas
recognize him?

SOOTHING THE STORM
SAW LIGHT IN WINDOW
CROWDS MEAN NOTHING

THIS Michigan air bandit who
l. hit the pilot on the head with a
hammer when they were flying 1000
feet above the earth was sent un
for from five to ten years.
There was wonderful case for
some finished legal impresario to in
woke the defense of insanity.
Now that the Graf Zeppelin is
in the depot at Lakehurst, the wives
Of those passengers who insured
their lives for million dollars
apiece, must keep a stiff upper liz
swallow their loss, and affect
jocund spirit with their mates.
Think of sitting across the table
three times a day from a bird who
had beaten you out of a million
dollars and being compelled to call
him Sweet Lovel"
Crowds mean little, for New Eng
land goes wild over Hoover and st.
Louis goes wild over Smith, and
little while ago Tennessee went wild
over both of them.
Crowds mean only that the dear
people will give their undivided pa
tronage to good show, provided
the show is free.
DR.. Bundeson, president of the
American Health Association, states
that our national death rate could
be cut one-third, or 100000 lives be
saved every year
If we would eat less, exercise
more, and worry not at all, it would
save annually twice as many lives
as America lost in the world war.
u
Stephenson'S testimony that Wiz
ard Evans and other concealed pa
triots collected the enormous sum of
100000 from the goats of
America marks their confidence
game as the greatest ever worked in
any land.
And there's one thing about this
confidence game which distinguishes
it from all others-after all the gilt
is peeled off the gold brick, many
of the brethren clasp that brick
more tightly to their heaving
bosoms than ever before!

1T is the danger to which we are
i unaccustomed which arouses us.
Rural Illinois is all worked up
over tiger that broke loose from a
circus, yet Illinois, like every other
State, has thousands of drunken
drivers, more dangerous than any
man-eater from the jungle, and no
effort is made to control them.

We do not wish to discourage AL
Smith, now demonstrating the
brown derby in the Mississippi
valley, but the unanimous opinion
of all who have eaten elephant
steak that it is as tough as raineral
wool and twice as taSteleSs.

Russia worries because her
aSylums are filled and 100000 luna
tics are at large.
And the worst of it is that the
most dangerous of those who are at
large are in charge Of the Soviet
government!

Are You a Sheep?

The influence of Boss Coffin be detected in the
decision of the election commissioners to place
separate key upon the voting machines for each OF
the fifteen presidential electors
The state commission ruled that it would be legal
to have one key for the entire fifteen.
These electors are not chosen for their personal
ability They vote in accordance with the result in
the state and are merely machines for registering the
candidates themselves Every voter who wants Hoover
will naturally wish to vote for all the fifteen. The
same is true of Smith adherents.
The decision makes it as hard as possible for any
of the voters to vote for
one ticket and candidates for state and local offices
on another ticket.
The decision is a very patent attempt to make
sheep out of the voters and force straight party
ballots instead of independent choice.
Every indication shows that very many voters
in this county will vote for Hoover and desire to vote
against the Leslie ticket in the state and the Coffin
ticket in the county.
The decision is we'll calculated to dismay the
voter and possibly pick up ballots for the Coffin
crowd at home and for Leslie and Robinson in the
state.
The answer, of course, is an intelligent study of
the ballot so that it will correctly register the will of
the voter.
You may have to pull more levers on the machine,
but it is worth while.
The decision is not designed to help either Smith
or Hoover 1T is apparent that Hoover needs help
and could get none if he did from the local ticket
of his party That local ticket is his biggest handicap

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 19.-Regis-
ID tration closed in Massachusetts,
Wednesday night. AS in many
other states, all preceding records
are broken. Where less than 1,400,-
900 citizens enrolled four years ago,
more than 100000 placed their
names on the list this year. In Bos-
ton the number Of qualified voters
advanced from 247,000 in 1924 to
$4,000. 1t is the same story
throughout the state. One town of
the Soutlboro, has registered So
per cent CT its population.
AS might be expected, both parties
claim the advantage, but without
anything to go on, except the re-
ports of their workers. Generally
speaking, these communities in
which bad business, OF labor trouble
is expected to produce a Democratic
majority show rather less than the
average gain. Fall River, for in
stance, only shows an increase of
5000, while Springfield, a strong
Republican center, shows one Of
$4,000
Unprejudiced observers believe
that a safe, though not large ma
jority of the 100000 new voters
will line up for Hoover.
While Massachusetts, is scheduled
for such a dose Of speech-making
and direct-by-mail appealing as she
never experienced before, the bulk
Of available emery and cash will be
devoted to ways and means of get
ting the vote out from now on.
Four years ago Massachusetts cast
1,213,000 votes. This year she is ex-
pected to approach 100000. If the
poll of the nation shows similar
increase, more than 100000 votes
will be cast in this election.

That's all right, but several hun

It's amusing for the builder Of

Under the supervision of a large
insurance company 404 schools we're
recently studied as to their hand
washing facilities. It was found
that SO per cent had hot water, 80

In one place children were sent
to wash their hands in cold water
at the drinking fountain in the cor
ridor. Soap was not available and
because of the absence Of towels,
children had to wipe their chapped
hands on their clothing.
Here is a matter demanding

The People Are Tired

1.-THE people are tired of hearing of these oil leases
says DR.. Work They are But not in the wav he
thinks They tired of the oil muck that thew
desire to it ALL and have done with this ma
tional disgrace
Work has an alibi for his act as secretary of in
terror last January renewing the Sinclair Salt Creek
royalty oil contract which the attorney general now
holds invalid Work says he acted his departmental
solicitors opinion
That abi explains but does not Justify 1t convicts
Work of more than stupidity He handled in routine
fashion contract questionable on its face which
actually being questioned in fact and which bore
the notorious names of Fall and Sinclair. That con-
tract suspended not only on technical legal
grounds, but for possible fraud which the attorney
general is investigating.
AS cabinet officer sworn to protect the nations
resources Work guilty such extreme negligence
as forever to unfit him for public Office
Now Work has the efrontery to state: 1.-The criti-
csm of renewal Of the Salt Greek purchasing con-
tract is entirely of campaign origin"
He announces this on the stationery of the Repub-
ican national committee, Of which he is chairman
This is another. characteristic stupidity It is an
unworthy and ineffective attempt to hide behind Her
bert Hoover
In welcoming the nomination of Hoover, this news
paper emphasized that of his hardest jobs would
be to get rid of the Republican "old gang the semps
the Wares the Works, clinging to the bandwagon
Hoover can not help that. But he can prevent them
from continuing party leadership Hoover should I'M
seat Work.
1--WE have found the to beat Hoover" the
sarcastic comment of famous Republican senator
when Work made campaign chairman. Since them
wherever he personally has touched the campaign
there has been an almost unbroken line of errros.
Even Work can not defeat Hoover. But we are in
terested in more than Hoover's election. We in
terested in the kind of administration he will give the
country.
We have faith in the candidate That faith does
not extend to some of the old line Republican leaders,
who hope for places when Hoover enters the White
House.
The only question now is when to unload work
The sooner the better, in our judgment
For the people are not only tired of the oil leases
as Dr. Work says. The people also very tired OF
Dr.. Work.

Politics CoIorS Justice

Italy inficts capital punishment
for the first time in forty-six years.
1t was for the murder of two
FaScists. Plain murder still can be
forgiven to the extent of substitute
ing life Imprisonment for death, but
not for the murder of MusSolini'S
admirers. Thus politics enters the
court wherever and whenever
clique rule is allowed full sway.
Democracy may be inefficient, but
it possesses the virtue of saving
justice from political tyranny. That
is one thing the Mussolini theory
of government can not be. The
Mussolini theory of government
places partisan loyalty above every
thing else ana makes crime against
it doubly serious.
