Nothing but BaIIYhOo

The people are expected to give an
intelligent decision with regard to
farm relief, power control, foreign
policy, inland water ways and other
perpleXing questions.
That is the one excuse for the ex-
istence Of our political system. That
is the reason why we put up with
three or four months of speech max
ing aand pamphleteering every four
years.
Such campaigns as the one
through which we are now passing
are supposed to afford us the nee
essary enlightenment. The original
idea was that they would be inform
ing, that the people would learn
from candidates what the shooting
was all about.
Perhaps they did once upon a
time. Perhaps in the olden days
candidates tried to explain why is
sues arose, of what they consisted
and the various ways in which they
might be met. But it was so long
ago that everyone has forgotten
about it.
What we get now is a regular
word ballyhoo, whether expressed in
highbrow, Englishf1 or East Side
lingo. Personalities, may cut less of
figure, but backbiting does not.
The roar one hears amid respectable
surroundings is just as dirty, just as
misleading and just as deliberately
intended as an appeal to prejudice
and emotionalism, as is the "whisp-
ering."

TINE greatest thing that could
l. happen in this campaign would
be for Hoover to smash the Solid
South and for Smith to smash the
Republican States up North, leav-
ing every State in the Union so
close that the party in. power had
to be decent or get licked.

Nobody stops at night any more,
not even when another is changing

officers are really officers is to have
a whole squad of them, with brass

campaign. Mostly they have been

Guided the two acceptance speeches,
as well as other announcements
by the presidential nominees. No
one could take the whole bunch
and form an intelligent idea of any
outstanding issue.
If a high school senior were to
be asked to explain what farm
relief meant and were to reply by
quoting everything Hoover and
Smith have said on the subject, he
would not get a passing mark.
If a citizen undertook to tell a
foreigner why prohibition is an is
sue, what is meant by the Great
Lakes waterway, or how the water
power problem originated and had
nothing to draw on, except the ma
terial supplied by politicians in this
campaign, he would be absolutely
unable to make himself clear.

More often than not, the dis
cussion runs to wisecracks. or
platitudes. In no instance have I
found it rising to a straightforward
clean-cut explanation of any
problem.
One wonders why this should be
II the problems discussed are so
important.
If farm relief, for instance, means
so much, and if our leaders have
found it so perpexing that they
could not find a satisfactory solution
in eight years, how can the public
be expected to understand it. much
less to form intelligent opinions,
without more of an explanation
than that Hoover favors such and
such policy, while Governor Smith
favors something else?
If power control is so complicated
that our best minds do not know
what to do about it after a decade
of investigation, why should not the
public be given something more
than few glittering generalities?

Reason

WYE are glad Hoover denounced
w religious strife in the cam
paign, for while his statement will
cut no figure, it is a welcome call
to sanity.
This strife always has been with
us and always will be.
People can disagree about things,
regarding which they know some
thing, yet remain friends, but the
minute they disagree about their
salvation, regardless which they
know nothing, all of them get mad
and most of them go crazy!
Il
France and England are not
square to devise a treaty which
would give them the ships they
want and deny us the ships we
want.
They know Uncle Sam is as free
from Imperialism as Santa Claus
from kidnapping; they know our dogs
of war have stayed in our own yard,
except when they went abroad to
save the lives of France and Eng
land.
The difference between the United
States and European nations is that
in foreign affairs we follow Polly
anna and they follow Machiavelli.

Wehn Spallanzani heard about the experiments
of Needham, it recalled to him what he had read Of
the experiments of Redi.
Red it will be remembered set out to prove that
flies did not arise spontaneously from decayed meat,
but that the flies from eggs which other flies
laid on the decayed meat
He proved this by the simple process of placing
a piece of meat in jar covered with fine net. No
flies could alight the meat to lay eggs The re-
suit that flies appeared from the meat
Spallanzani unwilling to believe that microbes
could arise spontaneously. If flies had to have par
ents he believed that microbes likewise had to have
parents
So Spallanzani began to think what the trouble
might be with Needham'S experiments
He finally came to two conclusions. One was that
the microbes were present in small numbers when
Needham began to heat his gravy soup and that
he did not heat it sufficiently long to kill them.
His other conclusion that Needham did not
cork his bottles tightly enough and that microbes got
in from the air during the two or three days which
Needham left the gravy stand before he examined
it under the mscroscope
So Spallanzani decided to try some experiments
to see if his conclusions were correct.

The Immigration Issue

Of the most perplexing problems before congress
THE subject has been debated continually since Iile
end Of the World War, when this country was unreal

and is not yet settled.
smith in his acceptance speech, said ne was
onnosed to restriction "based upon the hgureS u
IMMIGRANT population contained in census thlrVy
eight years old" He did not propose SUBSTITUTE
basis, but apparently favors use OF later census
Agures in determining the quotas of the various
countries.
IF this were done, the character of immigration
would be changed radically Larger numbers would
be admitted from southern and eastern Europe with
nronortionatev fewer from western and northern
Europe.
THE Dillingham; law Of 1919, designed as tenn
oorar, measure restricted immigration from any
country to per cent Of the total number OF per-
sons resident in the United States who had oeen
born in that country as shown by the census Oh I9o
This. 1t was commended, gave undue advantage to
the southern countries since the tide OF Immigration
from them was at its peak in the twenty years
Immediately preceding 1910.
Congress frankly desired to restrict the entrance
IT nersons from the southern and eastern countries
and increase the quotas from Germany, France
Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries
So, in 1924, q new immigration Id" "oo Po0'S"'
after protracted debate, and the 1890 census was
adopted as a basis through compromise, and the
uercentage of admissions changed to two instead
of three This law in addition to changing the
character of immigration reduced the total number
Where in 1928 20 per cent came from the Nordc
countries and 20 per cent from the southern in 1876
Ais per cent were Nordics and 96 were southerners
During the last fiscal year German, 1rsh English,
Scotch italian and Scandinavian immigrants led In
the order named, the Germans furnishing 54Ooo ana
the Italians $4,000.
It was argued that the 1890 census was fair to
both the new and old immigrant stocks, insofar as
each type had contributed to the makeup OF our
population While designed temporary, majority
opinion favors retention Of this arrangement
This same act of 1924 provided that after a year
the nurber of immigrants admitted should be 10000
annually divided among the countries on a basis
of the national origin" of the entire population
in 1920.
The secretaries Of Labor, State and Commerce
were designated a committee to determine national
origins They found their task weu-nigh impossible,
and while they have prepared table and submitted
# TO Congress- they themselves not satisfied with
the figures. There is particular objection because
in the table Great Britain is allotted nearly half
of the total
Congress has deferred putting the national origins

is expected.
Use Of later censuses than 1890 in determining
quotas would increase immigration by nearly 100000

best available estimates:

PLAY BARGAIN
BOOKED AT
NATIONAL

Up steps Mr.. S. E. Cochran,
manager Of the National Theater,
with an announcement destined to
etartle local theatergoers. There
is, so he says, going to be a grand
reduction in the price of theater
tickets-at least for one play:
wooden Kimono," booked here
during New Years week.
By an unusual arrangement
with the Broadway management,
Wooden Kfmono" will play
Washigton at a top price of only
$3.50; whereas, on Broadway, it
has packed 'em in at So per. The
matinees here will have a better
scale of prices than any play since
the World War. Seats at so cents,
IS cents and 81 are awaiting the
cash customers.
It seems that many theater
managers throughout the country
are looking at this experiment
with keen eyes; for, if theater
prices can be reduced. and the
public can be enticed to fill thea
ters, it may be that permanent
reform will be instituted. OF
course, there are many reasons
against a permanent reduction in
theater prices. Transportation,
hotels, union labor, and the var
ious other elements entering into
theatrical production being what
they areas high as the sky
there is little hope of a permanent
cure; but-and here is where the
managers think out 1oud-it is bet
ter to play to PACKED houses at
small prices, than to play only to
half houses at high prices. The
thing. Of course, is really prob.
lem in mathematics.
Overshadowing all these consid-
erations however, is the news that
for one week, at least, theater
tickets at the National may be pur-
chased at price that will not jar
loose the lower foundations of
anybody's bank roll. The play,
s'Woeden Kimono" comes with the
reputation of being about the best
mystery-thriller let loose on the
public since 1.-THE Bat"
