Al S Poor Strategy

The story Is told that Mckinley once was urged by
committee of his supporters to mix around more
to travel more, make more speeches and shake more
hands, slap more backs and kiss more babies.
His reply, so the story goes, was to this effect
That's Bryans game not mine. I couldn't eveC
tie him. let alone beat him Why if rode in a special
train he'd travel in private car; if had a private
car, he'd have drawing ROOM if I had a drawing
room, he'd have lower berth; if I had lower he'd
i ma day coach"
Just lesson in campaign strategy, AL Smith
today could very we'll afford to take leaf out of the
Mckinley book. For Al of late has been playing the
other fellows game.
For example, he has adopted the protective tariff
that 1--WE, too" for the protective tariff For Al
oadopt the tariff as campaign weapon is like Babe
Ruth forsaking baseball and trying to beat Bobby
Jones at golf, for Hoover to try and capture the
leadership of the vets.
No matter how much emphasis Al may put on the
virtues of adequately protective tariff he's just like
Mckinley was about "mixing'-he can't even draw
a tie. Words in behalf of the protective tariff don't
belong in the lexicon of democracy.
Likewise Al repeatedly is struggling to convince his
hearers that there is difference between him and
Hoover the immigration question. Well, what Of
it? Suppose he could prove that-which he can't, to
any one who has read both acceptance speeches-what
would he gain? The very most he could get there
would be tie and contests aren't won by ties

Conditions Alter Theories

When public utility wants to evade the rates
imposed by a state commission it frequently rushes
into federal court The most notable recent example
is in the New York subway fight but there have
been many others
Joseph V. Mckee, president of the board of alder
men of New York said recently that public rate regu-
lation by states has been practically destroyed" and
added "One of the most destructive factors has been
the practice of public utilities resort to federal
courts for advancement of their rates."
But when it is even limited that the federal gov
}ernent might take hand in rate regulation, howls
of protest at once arise from the utilities Regulation
is purely local matter the utilities then insist, and
local bodies are competent to handle the problem
Without help from the federal government.
" For instance Josiah T. Newconb, chief lobbyist
in Washington for the joint committee of National
Utility Associations last week issued statement de-
tending the Electric Bond and Share Company for
defying the federal trade commission in its power
inquiry.
The issue. Newcomb thinks, may result in an
authoritative test in the courts of the broad question
of whether the public utility companies furnishing
gas an electricity to local consumers are a proper
subject for federal regulation"
Newcomb recites the old familiar arguments in
favor of local regulation and argues that the Bond
and Share company, though it has utility holdings
spreading through many states is not properly sub
ject to federal control.
Without debating merits of the regulation issue, it
is interesting to note the attitude of the utilities They
use the machinery of the federal government to
evade state regulation and get higher rates
rs But any suggestion that federal machinery be
used in the interests of the consuming public is
resisted with all the strength the utilities can com
mand.

The Solution

THIS is a case where very deli
l. cate play is required, and where
the chief object is to gain sufficient
re-entries in the South hand.
South leads a diamond, which
West covers and North trumps with
one of the four highest spades.
North now leads low trump, which
South wins with the eight. South
now leads another diamond, West
again covering and North again
trumping high. North then leads a
high trump and South plays the
deuce. Now North leads his re-
manning low trump, South winning
with the five. South then leads his
two good diamonds, North discard
ing his two losing clubs and winning
the final trick with his remaining
trump.
There is no way Of defeating this
problem provided North and South
always follow the correct procedure.
If at any time West refuses to cover
South's diamond lead North dis
cards a club. The main point, how
ever, is that North always trumps
high to establish the two necessary
re-entries in his partners hand.

The Advance in the Air

+ Aviation is lust coming of age A quarter century
ago the Yep and the plane were born. On Lake Con-
Stance in Switzerland German count, one Zeppelin,
launched great cigar-shaped balloon and drove it
with a motor He had spent fortune of his own
and finally had received a subsidy from William,
Kaiser of Germany. The Prussian war lords were in
,terested in any invention which might contribute
to their military supremacy
At the same time, two bicycle mechanics were
trying out soaring planes gders-against the eastern
winds which beat against the sand hills juttng into
the Atlantic from the northern coast of North Caro-
lima. In 1903 the gasoline hay-boat which plies
between Elizabeth City and Manteo brought Is
horse power motor to Manteo be rowed across the
bay to Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hill, where the
Wright brothers had been practicing with their
giders.
f In December 1903 one of the gIders propelled by
the gasoline motor and guided by Wilbur Wright
rose from the ground and flew for almost minute.
That was the birth of the airplane.
After twenty-five years. and war, the airplane
had taken Lindbergh from New York to Paris, and
the Zeppelin has made the western crossing from
Europe to America four times Europe has its regular
commercial and travellers air lines and America is
beginning similar system.
E Already the solution of mechanical flight has
revolutionized warfare 1t is question whether 1t
has not put the great naves of the world quite out
of business Eventually fight must bring war to
the civilized population Death no longer can be con-
fined to "the lines" or the war zone" Then either
war or nations must be wiped out.
The inventor of the telephone lived to see his
invention spread over the earth. Asked at time
how he felt about it, DR.. Alexander Graham Bell
replied that he never wanted to or hear tele-
phone He never used one and permitted it in his
house only in the remotest spot.

Reason
WHATEVER the Chicago

w H A TEVE Err the Chicago
w Tribune's purpose may have
been in asking northern senators
and representatives whether they
favored enforcing the second sec
ton of the fourteenth amendment
of the Constitution which provides
for reducing the congressional rep
resentation of states which dis
franchise the Negro, the answers of
such statesmen in the affirmative
may interfere with Hoover's progress
in breaking the solid south.
But the discussion is purely
academic, inasmuch as the OPP
ponents of such a measure easily
could Xix it to death in the United
States senate.
If the people of Nicaragua read
that a Chicago citizen voted four
teen times in the last election, they
probably will wonder why we sent
our marines down there to guar
antee honesty at the polls.

piece of work was now to be in connection with the
wine-makng industry
The wine manufacturers were in trouble Vast
quantities of wine spelling
Pasteur undertook to find the difficulty. AS re-
suit he hit upon practice still used today and known
in his honor as pasteuriZation.
He went to the countryside, taking his microscopes
and TASKS and test tubes with him.
Soon he discovered what he had suspected Vari-
types of bacteria had gotten into the Wines
ing them to spoil.
He found that there a variety OF microbes, one
turned the wine souri, another made it ropy and so
The French peasants were hard to convince. Talk
of microbes didn't seem very real to them.
So Pasteur told them to bring him samples of
spoiled wine. He placed drop of each under the
microscope and then told them what was wrong,
whether it sour ropy, and so on.
This convinced the peasants
Then he hit on an idea which has since come into
general usage under the name OF pasteurizatlon.
He told them to heat the bottles sufficiently to
kill the microbes.
The wine industry benefited immensely from Pas
tours aid
Soon after he had completed this work. another
problem put up to him.
This time it was the silk industry which was in
trouble.
Pasteur knew nothing of silk and silkworms, but
he had great confidence himself and believed in the
power of hard work.
We shall see next what he did for the silk industry

THE victory of this poor miner
4 Who, after long years Of liti-
cation, secured a Judgment for $40
100000 from the Anaconda Copper
Company for infringement Of
patent, is a tragic commentary on
the failure of American justice.
It should be impossible to delay
final judgment in any case longer
than one year.
Nicholas Murray Butler is right in
saying that the removal of religious
issues from our politics is more i'm
portant than national prosperity.
No greater course could come to
America than a situation which
would cause the creation of political
parties, based on religious differ
enceS.

While they are talking about gang warfare in
various cities, it can be set down irrefutable
fact that criminal gangs simply can't exist and thrive
in any community without political protection.
That means more than police protection. 1t means
an alliance between crime and government. 1t takes
in political bosses and even judges of the courts,
well the police
v In every city the police know who the bootlegger
barons are They know who the racketeers are. They
know who the gunner are So do the political BOSSES
So do some of the political judges.
Gangsters, gunmen racketeers, and all other
leaders in the underworld know the value of votes
and of political influence They care nothing about
political principles or issues They nothing about
parties.
They trade political power for governmental pro-
lection They will go along politically with the dis
trict or states attorney who controls grand uries,
indictments, judges jury commissioners and police
men,
In Philadelphia, for example it develops that the
district political leader virtually controlled the police
men of his district In Chicago the bosses of the
.Crowe-Barrett- Thompson machine controlled all
policemen from the chief down; and Grove, states
attorney controlled grand juries and indictments
b When the city finally became thoroughly aroused,
business interests had to get special prosecutor
and special grand jury and then had to raise money
by subscription to pay their expenses.
New York isn't so raw, but anybody that knows
ANYTHING at all about politics and government knows
that Tammany could clean out the gangsters if it
made up its mind to do it, 1t can make and unmake
policemen and judges 1t get rid Of any official
from judge to corner cop who plays in with the
criminal gang.
X There is no Difference between Republican and
Democratic cities There is no difference between
Democratic and Republican bosses. Often there is
no difference between official and unofficial crooks.
Sometimes the crooks in office more dangerous
than those on the outside officially, but inside
politically.
3 In short, crime prevails because of the unhOly
alliance between politics and crime 1t prevails only
when political government protects the criminal in
stead of protecting the public against him.

CENATOR MOSES and Pat Har-

which they can agree. Who would
have thought it? Still, they have.
Singly and Severally, they declare
that the radio has debunked politics.
The Saturday Evening Post gladly
joins them in this opinion, and
proves the point in a two-column
editorial telling how Governor
Smith has been made to suffer
thereby.
One gathers that "the air" has
worked marvels on the stump, that
it has made this campaign unique
in our political history, that we have
suddenly attained new levels of

suit Of pulling hairs and chewing
them, and in the case of one man
from chewing his beard
At least 116 cases of hair balls in
the human stomach have been re-
ported in medical literature. Prob
ably there were hundreds of adj
ditional cases not reported because
new information was not provided
to medical science.
The largest hair ball reported
weighed six and one half pounds.
Until the hair ball becomes, so large
as to block the passage of food, it is
not likely to disturb the patient.
Eventually, however, it results in
general obstruction and, in some
cases, death.
In addition to this type of stance,
permanent masses are found on oc-
