Party Praise Necessary

There have been scores of &C
ceptance speeches by presidential
nominees since this republic was
formed. How many of them can you
remember? How many of them
failed to run true to form? In how
many instances did the candidate
ignore his party record, or offer new
and unexpected ideas?
Can you think of a case where a
nominee went back on his party,
or confronted it with a program it
was not looking for, unless a de-
senting faction had gained control?
Can you think of a speech that
outlived the campaign it opened?
We do not wait for acceptance
speeches to find out what the issues
are or how the candidate stands on
them. That is old stuff, not only
flashed out at the preceding con-
vention, but made clear by the
candidates career.
We did not have to wait for Sat-
urday to know that Hoover would be
against repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, and we do not have
to wait for Aug. 20 to know that
Governor Smith will advocate mod
ification.

The Lucky Southern Route

The southern air route across the AtIantlc seems
to be luckier than the northern.
Plane after plane has tried the northern route
only to disappear forever The months have brought
no trace of Nungesser and Coli or of the avators
who followed them. Undoubtedly all were forced
down on the water; and when they came down there
was no steamship at hand to pick them up.
But now consider the southern route.
De Pinedo came down and was rescued. George
Ealdeman and Ruth Elder down right beside
a steamer Courtney picked up soon after he hit
the water. The two Polish f1iers have now added
their names to the list by similar bit of good fortune
There must be something lucky about that south
ern route.

bellious element within his party.

DEOPLE who keep up with poll
Il tics knew quite well what was
coming, not only from Mr.. Hoover,
but from his critics. If he said
nothing particularly startling, nei-
ther have they.
We are always hoping that some
one will upset the apple cart, but
one rarely does. What is equally
true, no one could and get away
with it.
This is a Government of parties,

nominee is measurably the leader
of his parry. In ninety-nine cases
out of 100 conformity is the first
essential of preferment.

Richmond Item

There's something inspiring to
us about the recent stories of
Warren T. McCray's plan to come
back.
At the age of So this former
Governor of Indiana is striving to
pay back every cent that his
friends lost through his financial
misfortunes Of a few years ago.
Not many men of his age, who
have gone through what he has,
would bother to do a thing like
that.
Those who are acquainted with
Mr.. McCray know that he is sin
cere in his determination to make
up to those who trusted him all
that they lost
Following out this determine
ton he has gained control of his
stock farm again and there will
wage his battle.
He knows purebred livestock,
and prior to his financial trouble,
had one Of the best known herds
Of Hereford cattle to be found
anywhere.
1t is in a field with which he is
thoroughly familiar that he will
conduct his campaign.
We have a great deal of admira-
ton for man who will adopt the
course that Mr.. McCray has. 1t
is the honorable thing to do and
just what might be expected from
a man Of his caliber.

Health Magazine.
MEDICAL literature and that of
4VA education and psychology have
been filled with articles on the kind
of attention that parents must give
to unusual children. OF course,
every parent thinks that his child
is unusual.
Books have been written about
the nervous child. Many children
are born with unstable nervous sys-
TENS, the stability being made worse
rather than better by unintelligent
guardianship.
DR.. Brian Crichton has described
in the Irish Journal Of Medical
Science a special group which he
CLASHES as representative children.
These children respond unduly to
simple situations, developing ha-
tredS and remarkable affections on
small basis. They are easily i'm
pressiorable, exaggerating small re-
marks into serious situations.
For instance, one such child de-
Veloped the notion that children
could be had by eating great guam
titles of food and becoming consti-
pated.
1t persisted in this technic for
weeks, became severely i'll and it

ures and much made of their sue
cesses. Such children cannot be
terrorized into obedience, but must
be handled with sympathetic in
sight.
Many such a child has been
ruined by the desire of a too ply
steal parent to make man Of the
boy too soon.
That is the type Of parent who
throws the 2-year-old screaming
and protesting into the lake, the
river or the sea, with the idea that
in that manner he can overcome
its fear Of the water.
The usual result is to develop a
child who will never learn to swim.

And now, the political experts
say, the boxing question will be an
issue in the fall campaign in In
diana.
1t isn't question of who Frank
Daley or Harry Leslie favor as
the successor Of Tunney'S relin-
pushed crown. The boxing issue
is simply this: Shall professional
pugilism, already practiced in
various cities Of the State, be
legalized?
The question is a debatable one.
Some Illinois residents are pref
ty we'll soured on the idea of legal
lied boxing as a result of recent
performances in that State.
Others, including some promi-
nent Hoosiers, believe that boxing,
properly regulated, is not open to
valid objection. That's the catch
in the whole questionable subject
of proper regulation, and it has
been the catch in numerous other
States.
Somehow we can not conceive of
the Indiana public becoming
greatly agitated on this question.
There are so many other issues to
think about.
There is the question, for in
stance, of what to do about In
diana's reputation as a common
wealth of shady political machin-
atoms in recent years. After all
that is the primary question con-
fronting the voters this fall.
The electorate should have a
deep interest in this subject. 1t
hasn't particularly been displayed
as yet but there may be what the
political writer's like to call a
strong undercurrent" among the
Silent voters"
LegaIization of boxing is up to
the State Legislature. We doubt
if many voters will jude their
candidates for the assembly by
the latter's stand on boxing.

Whales of Antarctic

Under modern methods of ex-

whales caught in the Antarctic will

California, sometimes realize $500
each, while the white whale Of the

possibilities go far beyond. Star
light Is falling on every square

the best we can do at present Is
to gather up and concentrate the

Excellent Work Done
BY the Navy Stations

There Is a constant increase in the
number Of compass stations main
tanned by the Navy department
along the various coasts. The latest
statistics available show that 1874
ship captains were shown their To-
cation during heavy fogs last year,
and ii is fair to assume that at least
10 per cent Of them might have been
grounded or wrecked had 1t
not been for the assistance given by
radio.
A compass station Is a wireless
plant where special apparatus Is
used for telling the definite loca-
ton Of a vessel. A ship Is lost
In the fog; the wireless operator
flashes out the signal, 20. 7. E."
The station receiving the message
adjusts the radio compass to meet
the direction from which the mes
sage comes. This is the "mechan-
zeal ear" of the station and the 0p-
orator can tell exactly the direction
down to point Of the compass.
Each station getting the message
reports to a central station. where
calculations are made as to the
location of the ship. The distance
from shore is told by the strength
Of the signals. Then within FIVE
minutes Of the time the vesesl sends
out the inquiry the reply comes back
and the ships master knows just
where he is and pilots his craft ac-
cordingly.
