The World Laughs

Even Governor Smith and his
supporters would hesitate to in
dorse an out-and-out modification
plank in the Democratic platform,
although they honestly want it.
1t is startling to think where we
have arrived in this country start
ling to contemplate the hypocrisy
we not only practice, but justify.
You just can not reconcile the
way we are handling this prohibit
ton question with old-fashioned
American principles. 1t does not
square with the doctrines of our
fathers. If they emphasized one
ideal more than another it was the
wisdom of being truthful and
straightforward. They may have
had their weaknesses, but pussy
footing was not one of them.
Prohibition has not done much
for temperance, but it has done a
lot for lying and deceit and it has
done it in high places.
1t has brought millions of peo-
pie to place where they are scared
to tell the truth publicly. 1t has
made falsehood a characteristic Of
our national life for the first time
in history.
The rest of the world laughs at
us, and we have no choice but to
take it. The false pride which pre-
vents us from admitting a tragic
blunder is causing us all sorts of
humiliation. Worse than that, it
is eating into the vitals of our char
acter. We are not only living a
lie, but we are beginning to like it

Our American Malta

Do you remember the time, few years ago when
held up our hands in horror at the activities of
the Malta? The Malta, you recall, was secret society
of Sicily it outside the law and more powerful
than the law. Sicilian peasants went to the Malta
for protection against robbers for vengeance on their
oppressors, for relief from bandiry We read of it
and shuddered.
Now we can read of Chicago where the cleaners
and dyers have been forced to employ Al Capone
king of the gunner, for protection against thugs
The law, apparently, could not help these men. To
be able to conduct their business in peace they have
had to enlist the aid of the underworld.
Isn't that beautiful commentary the condi-
ton Of affairs in our second largest city?
The Pullman porters have decided not to strike.

Blood Theory Called Basis Medicine

is considerable movement of the
blood always in one direction, the
blood would have to circulate or
the vessels would burst with the ris-
ing pressure of the blood.
Notes in his records as early as
1915 show he had come to this opin-
ion. However, more than thirteen
years passed before he had made
sufficient Investigations in support
of his views to permit him to publish
these statements in the famous
book that has been mentioned.
He stands, therefore, great in the
history of mankind, not only for the
important discovery that he made,
but also for causing a return of
medicine to the experimental meth
cd of proof for any medical concep-
tions.

passed through the lungs so that it
might again have oxygen.
One of the early Investigators be-
lieved that it was the purpose of the
valves in the veins to keep the blood
from flowing too rapidly from the
heart to tic distant parts of the
body. We now know that the blood
does not flow from the heart into
the veins, but only into the arteries
and that it is collected by the veins
and returned to the heart.
Harvey reasoned this fact out be-
cause he says that if the obstruction
brought about by the valves in the
veins to the flow of blood from the
heart were effective, then the blood
could only flow toward the heart.
This made him realize that if there

Words, Not Practice

I have no doubt that there are
many sincere, drys in this country,
but it is hard to believe that they
are as numerous as the sincere
vets.
Even at Kansas City, where the
Eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead act received such unequivocal
Endorsement, there was perceptible
disparity between unofficial conduct
and official words.
Here at Houston, the proponents
claim All votes. Taking their word
for it, they represent little more
than one-third.
The Democratic party. however.
can not afford to antagonize that
third, whence all the talk Of a
compromise.

Bridge Play
Made Easy

DLAYERS often are told to follow
Il certain rules without question.
At first these may be followed re-
CARELESS Of whether or not you know
the reasons, but, as you progress,
you should become familiar with
the why's and wherefores.
For every rule, for every principle
enunciated, there must be some
mathematical reason. 1t must be
based on the law of average
probabilities; if not, it is not sound
rule.
When you are told you must bid
or play a certain way, always de-
mand the logic underlying it. In
this manner you will develop sound
bridge reasoning that will be Of aid
to you at every turn.
Let guides assist you during the
formative period, but let your con-
slant aim be to develop reason
rather than rote.
However, regardless of how I'M
desirable the use of guides may De,
they are, nevertheless, a thousand
fold more reliable than "hunches"
ever can be.
The aim of the player should be
to develop a bridge instinct-to
know the right thing to do at the
right time.
Until you develop this power, use
the guides that have been suggested,
generally approved and found sound
in actual play.
AS an illustration, the player is
always told, do not bid no
trump unless three suits are stop
ped" and do not bid a no trump
if the hand contains a singleton" "
Let us examine into the why's and
wherefors of these rules.
In a no trump the highest card
take the tricks. If the declarer
holds:
Spades A K @ J
Hearts A K @
Diamonds A K @
NluDO n n "
the declarer must take every trick,
if the game be played at no trump.
The probabilities of holding such
a hand are extremely remote. If
the declarer holds:
Spades A K @ j 10 9 8 Z 6 8
Hearts A
Diamonds A
Clubs A
the declarer must also take every
trick at no trump. If the declarer
holds:
Spades A K Q j 10 ss76 5 4
Hearts A
Diamonds A
Clubs None
the probabilities are at least, two
to one against him that the oppo-
nents control the club suit and they
NAV make all the club tricks before
he can make trick in The other
suits.
It therefore follows that you
should never bid no trump If you
blank of a suit. because the
probabilities are against you.
If you hold singleton Of less
value than the A in one of the
SUITS, the probabilities also are
against you. Even if you hold two
cards called a doubleton) of less
value than @ x, and your oppo-
nents hold the remaining high
cards, the probabilities are that
they will make their tricks in your
worthless suit before you can
establish one Of your strong suits.

Editor Times-Last year the Re-
publicans were looking about to find
a market for the farmers surplus.
Wonder what they have done with
the farmers surplus? Corn is now
selling at $1.S5, oats IS cents and
wheat 50, but that means that the
farmers are buying at these prices.
The farmer has none to sell.
I have been here about f1fty-five
years and the only surplus that we
have had is Republicans. There
are not enough offices, for them all,
it seems.
The only way to dispose of the
Republican surplus is to raise our
taxes and make more offices.
When 1 was boy I asked Daddy,
What is the difference between a
Democrat and a Republican,"
Son, will answer your question
by asking what is the difference be-
tween Jesus Christ and the Devil"
he said.
us that the reason you have been
a lifelong Democrat, because Jesus
Christ was a Democratic" I asked,
yes son." he replied, land I will
die a Democrat as Jesus did, because
Jesus was the finest and greatest
man ever on earth"
But why do you compare Re-
publicanism with the DeVil?"
Because the Republican party is
in power, as the Devil is in power 4"
Well, I don't know. Coolidge is
joke, the same as the Republican
party. Their policy is to penalize
and Russianize the Americans. The
Republican party's chief character
istic is taking and enforcing favors
for themselves.
A party or a man looking for and
asking favors without an even break
fails to be party or a man and is
void of enough intelligence to rep
resent good Americanism.
