THE DAY OF REST

Man wisely sets apart one day in
seven as a period of rest and change.
Sunday is the day to emerge from
the rut and groove of life and do
something different. The successful
farmer periodically renews the soil.
The horticulturist feeds and waters
the roots of his plants.
All life has a tendency to run
down if not recreated. Perpetual
motion does not exist anywhere.
Purely as matter of health and
mental hygiene, Sunday is an incom-
parable boon, means by which
tired nature may pause and take a
fresh start.
Make Sunday day of rest. To do
so does not mean to permit the day
to go to seed through inactivity. II
is the common tasks and common
pleasures that should be put aside,
and something uncommon taken to
fill their places. The real Sabbath
breaker is the rest-breaker. Life is
exhausting as it stands. Why take
the precious seventh day to further
complicate matters?
This applies to the man who takes
his business problems home with
him for settlement or solution over
Sunday. 1t applies to the student
who pores over his lessons on the
Sabbath. 1t applies to the home
maker who employees the seventh
day to catch up with the interrupted
work of the week.
Efficiency experts have proven
that a man can do as much work in
an eight-hour day as he can in a
day. The two extra hours.
are not production hours due to the
bodily and mental poisons of fatigue.
It is simple efficiency then to use the
seventh day, set apart by
consent for rest and renew
Il, and live up to it's finest possibili-
les.

There is very tangible evidence of
mutual admiration in the strong en-
dorsement of Mr.. Hoover's candi-
dacy by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
When Col. Lindbergh returned from
his epochal transatlantic flight, he
found one man in Washington to
whom his ideas on the development
of commercial aviation had immedi-
ate and tremendous appeal. That
man was Herbert Hoover, who prob
ably visualized the possibilities
growing out of the Lindbergh fight
more clearly than any other govern
ment official, as we'll as the great
expansion of flying facilities neces-
sary to prepare for the commercial

The tariff views of Governor
Smith may satisfy Mr.. Raskob, but
Governor Smith, if he should become
President, will not draft or pass any
tariff law. The bill will be drafted
by the Ways and Means Committee
of the House of Representatives
The Democratic members of that
committee are not protectionists.
Nine of the ten Democrats on the
committee have just signed letter
urging the voters in the Sixth Mary
land District to elect David J. Lewis
this year. They say that he could
render unequaled service in draft
ing tariff bill Mr.. Lewis is not a
protectionist. He was appointed by
President Wilson to the Tariff Com
mission as a free trader or, if Mr..
Raskob prefers, as a tariff reform
err.
It is morally certain that a Demo-
cratic Congress would pass a tariff
bill as much like the Underwood law
as changed circumstances would
permit. To say that Governor Smith
is not committed to the schedules of
the Underwood law is to seek to
evade the issue. There have been
changes in the schedules in every
tariff law that has been passed, |
by the Republicans or the !
Democrats. The Republicans have
sought to embody the =
policy of protection in their legisla-
ton. If we assume that the Demo-
Gratis are beginning to believe in that
policy, that is no justification for
the Government over to
hem. The Republicans have prov
ed that they canadraft tariff laws
hat foster the expansion of business
while the tariff laws of the Demo-
rats have always resulted in closed
unemployment and bread
ines.

Iaskob is engaged to prove that the ;
Democrats are not hostile to bust ]
less is in reality an admission that

ostility and is trying to live it {

entail campaign.-Public Ledger.

COLUMBUS DAY
Christopher Columbus discovered
America on October IL, 1892. But
Columbus day, although a legal holt
day, is less generally celebrated
than almost any other; and it is to
be feared that if the widespread
feeling that we have more than
enough of holidays should lead to a
call for the elimination of some of
them many would vote in favor of
dispensing with Columbus day. This
is not as it should be. Not only the
American countries but all the
world should pause on the anniver-
sary to do honor to the great ex-
plorer, for the people of every quar-
ter of the globe have profited by his
discovery.
Columbus sought a new, short
route to the East Indies. Europeans
desired that commerce with the
East should be facilitated that they
might the more readily procure
spices. They lacked means to pre-
serve food. Their diet was monoto-
nous, and spices were greatly in
demand to flavor unpalatable food.
Columbus did not bring Europeans
any closer to the East Indian spices
that they craved, but his discovery
gave them potatoes, maize, tomatoes
and other foods which impaired
needed variety to their fare. This
is but one of innumerable ways in
which mankind has materially bene-
flied from the establishment of con-
tact between America and the older
But it is not for the material
blessings that he brought the
world but for the glorious example |
that he gave of courage and perse-
verance that the day of Columbus
great achievement should be remem-
Dered. He remains a model to be
leld up for the emulation of men in
lis daring to question the science
If his age, in his willingness to face
he terrors of the unknown. His
triumph over ignorance and super
tition has encouraged bold spirits
everywhere to stand up FIR what

A California presidential candi-
date has certain advantages which
even astute politicians apparently
had not realized before Mr.. Hoover
was selected. In order to direct his
campaign from an eastern headquar-
ters, as both parties usually do, the
California contender must make two
transcontinental trips, one from his
home to the east and the other back
to the west coast to vote, for Cali
fornia laws do not permit absentee
voting. Thus he is able to cross the
country at the beginning of the
campaign and at it's close, greeting
and speaking to thousands and
thousands of voters en- route.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

Six weeks ago Herbert Hoover re-
turned from California to be con-
fronted with the assertion that the
Republican party was on the defen-
sive in the east, and that herculean
effort must be made to save the
states along the Atlantic seaboard
from going over to the enemy.
The campaign program of the Re-
publican party in the east since that
time has been to get Mr.. Hoover's
stand on the important issues of the
day before the voters, and the effort
to win has been no more intensive
than in states further west. Today
the Democratic party is fighting the
defensive battle in the east accord
ing to the press although its lead
ers launched their drive in this
section far in advance of the Repub-
lican counter effort. The hope of
Democratic leaders in the east is
now confined to two or three states,
in every one of which Republican
strength is reported to be increas-
ing every day.
That much progress in six weeks
is a fair indication of the strength
of the Republican ticket and of the
failure of the Democratic candidate
to sell to the nation an uncertain
program for the future.
Eighty-siX newspapers which are
listed as Democratic or independent
in their political preferences have
come out editorially for Hoover and
Curtis, according to a recent tabu-
lation. They are located in Is states
from Minnesota to Texas and from
New York to San Francisco.
In every instance, their prefer
ence for the Republican candidates
S based upon a sincere conviction
hat Herbert Hoover, with his re-
record of administrative
experience gained in tasks of unus-
lal difficulty, would be a much
more capable president than the
nominee from the stand

iculture.

The glittering but vague proposal
which Governor Smith dangled be-
fore the farmers of the northwest at
st. Paul promises to become a boom
erang before the campaign is over.
Senator Borah and other able Re-
publican orators have pointed out to
agriculture in that section that the
essential feature of the McNary-
Haugen plan, the equalization fee,
demands high protective tariff on
all farm products if it is to be effec-
tive at all. Governor Smith gave
his audience no assurance that he
favors tariff duties any higher than
those of the Underwood act, which
left every commodity produced in
the northwest open to destructive
foreign competition.
Reports from that section indi-
cate that farmers are rapidly real
izing the extent to which they have
been imposed on by the candidate
who worked out his theories of agri-
cultural aid in New York City. Prob
ably some of them recall that an

MANAGER PLAN
FREES CITY OF
CRAFT, WASTE
Board of Trade Hears Talk
on Cincinnati by
Charles Taft.

Striking improvements inaugu-
rated by the city manager form of
government at Cincinnati, Ohio,
we're discussed by Charles P. Taft,
II, Hamilton County prosecutor,
Thursday night before the Indian
apolis Board of Trade.
Changes brought about by the
city manager plan have brought the
city from state Of unrest, mis-
management and graft to a more
efficient administration of affairs,
with greater justice and satisfaction
for all concerned" said the ex-
Presidents son.
Advises City Follow Suit
''From my experience with the
movement in Cincinnati I would adj
wise Indianapolis to adopt the cleo
ton at-large Of a small council
with proportionate representation
and with city manager together
with home rule charter" he said
Probably one Of the outStandin'
things about the change in form
was that only about 400 employees
of the 1000 were fired or resigned
This fact is forcefu1 proof that the
new government brought about inn
proved conditions with the same
staff
"The physical condition of city
hall was improved, the building con-
verted from a disgraceful structure
to place fit to conduct the city's
business. The new government took
an inventory of the city's property
and found it had large amounts OF
property, even real estate that it
did not know it possessed. The eX-
cess property was sold and the
money used to maintain other prop
critics.
Thousands Saved
Thousands of dollars were saved
by the methods employed by the
new management. Another ire
mendous improvement was the
changes in working attitude of the
employees. 1t has been said that I'M
der the new government employees
whistle while they work, but before
they just whistled."
E. Clifford Barrett, Board of Trade
president, made the annual report
of activities. Mayor L. Ert Slack
spoke. Eighteen candidates for the

FARM ALLIANCE
is FORMED TO
BATTLE HOOVER
Watson, Curtis, Lowden
and Golf Followers
Unite in Move.
BY IRWIN /. FEMRITE
United Press staff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, June "a farm
alliance, combining the supporters
of four presidential candidates,
moved today to prevent the selection
of Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover as the Republican presi-
dental nominee.
An executive committee, chosen
from the followings of Frank o.
Lowden of Illinois, Senators James
E. Watson of Indiana, Charles
Curtis of Kansas, and Guy D. Golf,
West Virginia, conferred to lay
plans for strengthening of the
union of Hoover's opponents.
Louis l.. Emmerson of Illinois,
Republican gubernatorial nominee,
presided as chairman of the COM
mitAe.
The committee planned to con-
test the permanent seating of sixty
five Hoover-pledged delegates,
placed on the temporary roll by
the national committee over pro-
test of other delegations.
Inc contest first will be brought
before the credentials committee,
which the alliance will seek to con-
troll. In event their efforts fail to
seat at least a part of the delegates
denied seats by the national COM
mittee, the protest will be carried
to the convention floor.
An intensive program was out
lined by which the alliance will seek
to impress upon the agricultural
States the necessity of organized
action to defeat Hoover.
Another move had as its goal the
writing in the party platform of a
farm relief plank, containing the
demands of the Middle Western
farmers, denied by the Presidents
veto of the McNary- Haugen bill.
