Red stars have temperature at the surface Of 1000

IN every college today there Is u
I small percentage of students
who earn their way through school
by working in the college dining
halls, in Offices. and in homes sur
rounding the institution.
Some of these students excel as
well in other activities beyond
work and scholarship.
AS their time is greatly limited,
particularly for recreational activ-
tiles, they are likely to suffer more
with fatigue than are students who
are not driven to support them
selves while gaining an education.
DR.. r. w. Bradshaw Of Oberiin
College has recently reported the
results of investigations CT the
health of self-supporting students
as contrasted with those who were
independent and did not need to
do outside work while in school.
He pointed out, as have others
who have made special studies of
infections concerning students,

Silence Reed Tone

If the Democrats want to prevent
this campaign from degenerating
into a welter of personality and
prejudice, they should begin by
silencing such nasty and uncalled
for wisecracks as those with which
Senator Reed and former Senator
Gore made the convention laugh at
Houston.
The fact that this campaign cen
tiers around men more distinctly
than around issues is no reason why
it should deteriorate into a mud
singing match.
AS a matter Of commonsense,
these men, because Of the difference
in their training. their environment
and their attitude, furnish issue
enough. They are platforms in
themselves. They stand for we'll
defined policies. Their appeal to
the voters through the services they
have rendered, through the posi-
tions they have held and through
the statements they have made is
clear and understandable
Both were born of the people and
received their early education in the
school Of stern necessity.
Hoover worked his way through
college and Smith through, Tam
many Hall. Each has its advan-
tages.
Hoover won renown as an engi-
neer, as a developer of mining pro-
jects all over the world, and as
head of the greatest relief campaign
ever launched by humanity.
Smith won fame not only as an
office holder, but as a leader of
men not only won the respect of
people in spite of his association
with a cordially detested political
machine, but acquired such mas
terry over that machine as enabled
him to dominate and purify it to a
marked degree.
Hoover approaches Government
from a scientific standpoint; Smith
from human standpoint. In one
sense of the word it is a case of
head versus heart.
Not that Governor Smith lacks
brains, or that Secretary Hoover
lacks sentiment, but that the form
er leans to instinct, while the lat
ter is inclined to reason things out.

Know Their Fields

A good question for the average
citizen to ask himself at the outset
is why we have built all our col
leges, why we spend 100000, 900
a year for education, why we de-
mand that the plumber must have
a license, why we insist that the
doctor and the lawyer must pass
State board of examinations, why
we will not let the engineer take
the throttle until he has served a
long apprenticeship.
Governor Smith knows his New
York. There is no doubt about
that. He has been thoroughly
trained to its peculiar problems, has
spent lifetime in their study and
has shown his worth in the sue
cessful solution of many Of them.
If Governor Smith knows his New
York, Secretary Hoover knows not
only his country, but large part
of the world.

The American farmer has not been enjoying the

better off than the farmers of other lands

Scores Mud SINGERS

This newspaper will support
Governor Smith," declares the New
York World, but pledges itself to q
war of determination upon any sup
porters of Governor Smith who, IL
their excitement and their zeal
strike foul blows at the opposition.
Ava as the opening gun in that war,
we call upon the Democratic cam
paign managers and spell binders
to throw on to the rubbish heap,
where it belongs, all the talk about
Sir Herbert Hoover and his alleged
British connections"
That is a hint that ought to be
needed. The Democratic managers
and spellbinders have shown alto
gether too much enjoyment over
this manufactured and unmerited
SANDER. If it is persisted in, it will
prove a boomerang.
Herbert Hoover has done much to
develop the foreign trade of this
country in the face Of severe and
often unfair competition for anyone
to doubt his Americanism Besides
that, he has brought down on his
head the bitter resentment of GER
tain big bankers for no other rea-
son than they believe he spoiled
their scheme to cancel foreign debts.
There is nothing in his career to
warrant the insinuation that he has
ever subordinated his Americanism
to any interest or consideration
whatsoever. If he has Travelled ex-
tensively, it was as an engineer
promoting private enterprise and
developing resources in places where
such development was sorely needed.
If he lived abroad for a great
part Of the time during the war and
two years afterward, it was to help
offering humanity.

Expenditures of money shall
be strictly limited and rigidly &C
counted for"
This is the slogan adopted by
Herbert Hoover for his presi-
den tial campaign. 1t will please
the Republican electorate while
serving notice on all the Ameri-
can people that the republican
nominee is acutely responsive to
the demand for honesty and eff
cheney, in politics as we'll as in
private industry. 1t is hardly
necessary to dwell on the fact
that this method of campaign
ing is a guarantee that Mr..
Hoover, if elected successor to
President Coolidge, will stand
against waste and extravaganza
in conduct Of the Government.
The Hoover Curtis campaign
will be operated on the budget
system. Indications at this time
are that contributions to the
campaign fund will not be as large
as was the case four and eight
years ago. However, there is
every reason to believe that an
ample fund will be available.
Meanwhile Mr.. Hoover ana his
associates are preparing to prac-
tice economy no matter how much
money is available. The require
ments of State organizations will
be established by surveys and
those requirements will be the
sole basis for distribution of funds.
In addition, all preferred con-
tributions will be scrutinized care
fully before acceptance. Hoover,
the efficient executive, is doing
everything possible to retain pub
lie sentiment.

Treasurer Refuses To
Draw Money for De-

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 9.-tRl-Seri-
Gus injury may result for some OF
the 100 odd banks called upon to pay
a total of about S250.000 assessments
necessary to discharge liabilities OF
the now imperative guaranty bank
fund to failed members, State Treas
urer W. Gregory Hatcher declared
Thursday.
He gave this as one Of his reasons
for voting against the resolution
passed by the state banking board
authorizing Banking Commissioner
James Shaw to draw on the banks.
Mr.. Hatcher, secretary Of the
board, said Attorney General Claude
Pollard and Mr.. Shaw, other mem
bers, agreed to keep the resolution
from the public and the press" This
agreement. shown on the original
draft Of the minutes, was proposed
by Mr.. Pollard, concurred in BY Mr..
Shaw and opposed by Mr.. Hatcher.
The latter declared several court
suits affecting disposition Of the
guaranty fund should be settled
first.
"No emergency exists for the tax
ing of this action (the resolution
and neither the banking commission
er nor the banking board should
undertake to draw these funds until
after the courts have finally deter
mined the equities and liabilities OF
all parties concerned" Mr.. Hatcher
declared.

NEARING END
Defense Attorney De.
clares Family of
Slayer Insane

Los ANGELES, Feb. 9.-The final
act of the drama enveloping William
Edward Hickman's fight for life
through a sanity trial, was opened
today in the court room Of Judge
j. J. Trabucco.
Richard Cantillon, defense attor-
ney. went into the details of testi-
mony given by defense alienists
and by William Thomas Hickman,
father Of the youth who kidnapped
and killed Marian Parker.
In a quiet voice the young de-
fense attorney rapidly rolled out his
closing argument. He pointed out
bits Of testimony that he claimed
were evidences of insanity in the
prisoners family. He often told
the jury II think" from this or that
evidence. that the evidence of the
prisoners insanity was preponder-
ant.
Cantillon referred 70 the sobbing
fathers testimony of fits which af-
flicted the grandfather. of an cpl
leptic cousin and of a mother who
was in an Arkansas insane asylum
for a period.
Il think" he told the jury
these constitute a background OF
heredity which should have been
made even the states alienists sus-
pect the defendant suffered from
dementia praecox.
You can't tell me-" Cantillon
argued, that when brilliant
scholar suddenly turns into a Grim
inal whose 1hastly career has not
been equalled in the dark archives
Of criminal history, you can't tell
me that it's anything but insanity. 7
