statement from the Economic md Wage Com
mission of South Africa is interesting. 1t says:
"The policy of excluding the native from industrial
occupations reduces his ability to pay, and therefore
his value as market for the manufacture in which
European labor is engaged Thus the policy that
sets out to provide additional openings for white en-
ployment may so check the growth of wealth as a
whole that it defeats its own ends"

Pathetic Politics

There is something pathetic in the cam
+ paign of Harry Leslie for governor, who finds
himself likely to go into the history of the
State as The Man Nobody Wants.
The little group which has taken over his
candidacy exhibits all too plainly that the same
forces and methods which came into power
under Stephenson are again in the saddle.
In the particular State office which gave
birth to the candidacy of Leslie, the henchmen
and close confidential friends Of Stephenson
are being placed on the payrolls in large num-
bers, more or less secretly. The latest addl-
ton is the closest friend of Steve.
The chief newspaper supporter is the man
who gathered together the regular Republican
editors and read out of the party Tom Adams
and the other editors who had demanded an
investigation of the political scandals.
Under the same sort Of terrorism under
which the State once groaned, the lash is being
applied to the Republican leaders, and even
Thomas Adam is being driven by the plea
of party loyalty to give lip service to Leslie
while still declaring that honesty IN govern
ment is the great issue in Indiana.
The people are vainly trying to remember
some one trifing service that Leslie gave,
either by word deed, to the effort to clean
up Indiana or the Republican party.
In his primary campaign he condoned the
evils and praised Governor jackson, then fresh
from the Criminal Court with the statute OF
limitations as his certificate of liberty.
In his appeal he declared that the admin
istration was the best and as speaker of the
House he was successful in making silence and
suppress a party policy.
The truth is finally dawning upon Repub-
lican voters that they have no Republican
candidate this year, but the candidate of the
same old forces which produced a Jackson and
a Walb, unable this year to take part in the
campaign because of his enforced absence at
Leavenworth.
The primary vote was significant. Thou
sands voted for Adams, who appealed for
clean party and denounced Leslie as one
of the agencies of suppression.
More thousands voted for Landis who IN
vitriolic language described the State House
machine and the. legislative branch. More thou
sands voted for Jewett under his cry that there
was needed some responsibility in the office and
that the party that could not clean itself de-
serve defeat.
A very few thousands, less than sixth Of
the combined votes for these three candidates,
voted for Leslie, and of his votes one-fourth
came from his home city, where personal
friendship counted and issues were forgotten.
Parading Leslie as the advocate of the
cleanup is not humorous. 1t is pathetic
Leading a cleanup with Coverup XII is
sad business

than 10.l
THIS is another method of con-
l. verting losing card into win
ner. It's aim is to force your OPP
ponents to discard probable win
ming cards.
This is typified by the following
illustration in which the declarer
has obtained the contract with a
bid of four spades over Easts bid
of hearts:
Dummy holds: Spades 5; hearts
7 6 8; diamonds-10 7 8; clubs-1O

East: Spades 2; hearts-A @ j
9 8; diamonds-Q 4; clubs-K j.
Declarer: Spades-A K @ 10 9

8; clubs-none.
West: Spades--J 7; hearts-10 5
2; diamonds-J 9 2; clubs-A @ 6
5 2.
West opens the heart 10 and East
takes with the heart ace. On the
second round east returns the spade
T.
From cursory examination the
declarer observes that he can win
all of the remaining tricks-a small
slam-if he can compel opponents
to weaken their diamond suit.
This is accomplished by leading
all of the remaining trumps. West
and east are in a quandary as to
what to discard. They are in a
slight squeeze" They cannot pro-
tect every suit.
AS a result, west is finally fore
ed to weaken his diamond suit or
discard his club ace. East is left
at the end with the diamond queen
and club king jack for it is rea-
sonably sure that he would not have
discarded his strong clubs in pref
erence to the diamonds.
Declarer then makes the diamond
ace king 8 good and has scored
a small slam by means OF the
squeeze play.

proper nutrition and assuring regu-
lar eating.
The two important factors are:
IA physical examination Of the
child as he begins school; PA COR
rection Of his bad health habits.
The family physician who has fol-
lowed the child from infancy to
school age can make such an exam
ination as is necessary and can re-
fer the child, if desirable, to the
dentist, the oculist or other special
lists who are expert in the control Of
certain defects.
Nothing is more important than
that the child be in the best possible
physical condition as school starts.
Too often parents think only Of
furnishing the child with new cloth
ing, books and school supplies when
it is far more important to see that
his health needs are supplied.

Los Angeles were putting it the arrny's stunt

Ito the ring leaped reserve army colonel, named
Charles A. Lndbergh, to take the leadership Of the
army team made vacant by the accidental death OF
Lieut.. j. j. Williams.
BY various breath-taking stunts including dives
at the ground at 300 miles hour, Strengthening
out when within fifty feet of crash, he put the
arrny's contenders back IN the picture.
Colonel Lindberghs spirit is praiseworthy But
his name and his fame his cool-headed counsel are
too valuable to the aviation of this country to risk
losing them.
Into the ring eaped reserve army colonel named
And the millions of his admirers, including the
boys of this country from years up would feel
loss that would not be repaid by any gain to the
army through his taking these risks
P. S. Having got the above out of our system
we now ask that it be expunged 1t is the first time
we have given way to the temptation to advise this
favorite son. Yesterday when read of his breath
taking exploits at Los Angeles the temptation over
came us
But today we remember once more that the boy
knows his own business; that he has demonstrated
it in Just about every way possible So if he wants
to do these stunts-well that's his business, too.
