1t is difficult to imagine anyone climbing up on q
chair and cheering wildly at political oraton how
eloquent, brought to him the radio. William
Jennings Bryan would hardly have swept the nation
with his cross Of gold" speech he swept the Chicago
convention had it been disseminated by waves Of ether
and percoated into the homes of the people through
set Of tubes and an amplifier. Enthusiasm usually
is spread by contagion.
This season the radio campaigns familiar four years
ago and effective among people who like to listen and
think it out" will probably be supplemented by the
"movietone Thus the eyes will supplement the ears
in carrying to the brain the messages of the candidates
and their supporters. It is conceivable that in pub
lie hail. or even in private living in which fiji
teen or twenty people gathered, speech accom-
panied by the moving figure Of the speaker will awaken
vocal applause. Yet such "audton" will never
equal rally.
It is probably all for the best. The speakers know
ing that their words will fall not alone the ears
OF the crowd in the seats in front of them but also
those of hundreds of thousands of people sitting
quietly in their homes, will doubtless avoid the orator
cal tricks and gestures which have the strongest ap
peal to crowd. Thus the voters will hear and per-
haps see them at their best and mark and inwardly
digest what they have to say without being swayed
in the least by the shouts Of people all around them

complish what you have chosen for
your goal in life. Many people are
failures in their own business be-
cause they are lazy about coming
to work on time, and yet if they
were working for someone else they
would not be troubled in this way.
Opera singers are seldom sick,
because they have to set aside their
personal feelings and put into mo-
ton every power Of their will to
meet their engagement with the
public. A strength Of character to
meet your engagements and obliga-
tons is essential to any honest sue
cess. The determination Of accom-
plishment is an attitude Of mind
necessary for feeling well.
Many people fall into the habit Of
feeling tired or sick. Man is natur-
ally q lazy animal, and one of his
worst diseases is chronic laziness.
We must organize our minds and
our bodies so that they shall be in
top-notch condition when they are
needed. What would happen to an
army if the general only drilled his
soldiers when he felt like it? And
what catastrophes would happen on
a railroad if the engineers ran their
trains whenever they didn't choose
to smoke or play checkers?
Let US substitute thoughts of
health, energy, vitality and indus
| try for those Of vacillation, discour-
agement and idleness. Not only
must we have a determination to
work, and a responsibility for doing
things well, but we must also have
our periods of relaxation if we wish
to keep a we'll balanced mind.

but means that you can work harder

(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Aug both Soto
~ Cana and Aurelia Manrique, who
sprang into such prominence in
Mexican news after the assassina-
ton of Obregon, are crusaders Of
the Utopian type.
Haters of social injustice, neither
is willing to wait upon the slow
processes Of evolution. But fire
brands as they may be, their intel
lectual integrity and their honesty
in government affairs have never
been questioned by their most bitter
enemies.
They have failed in their efforts
to make the Agrarian party the
dominant force in Mexican politics,
despite the fact that in Mexico
those who till the soil are the vast
majority of the people.
The small farmer and the peon
are not politically minded and both
Soto Y Cana and Manrique have
refused to recognize this.
An Old Enmity
The bitterness displayed in their
attacks on the Laborites after Obre-
CONS death did not arise spon-
taneously. The assassin's bullet
merely gave them a chance to at
tack the Laboristas, led by Morones,
in a more effective way than they
had been able to do in the previous
six years. They were now allied
with the powerful Obregonistas.
Part Of their bitterness was
caused by the fact that they be-
lieved Morones and his two score
affiliated leaders, known as the
Group Of Action, had used the
Labor movement both politically
and industrially to their own en-
richment. The Agrarians had
thrown in their lot with Oregon
and the Obregonista Revolutionary
party saw in his election q chance
for fuller recognition and added
power. Enmity between Oregon
and Morones had been becoming
more and more bitter up to the time
Of the formers death.
Labor has cut a much larger
political figure in Mexico than the
Agrarian party. The Laboristas

have been far more thorough inte-
grated. Living and working to-
gsther in the larger cities, it was
much easier to organize them than
to organize the millions Of agricul-
turalists over Mexico who never
come into close contact with many
Of their fellows.
The indignation Of Soto y Cana
and Manrique was not directed
against the rank and file of work.
err. But their bitterness was in
creased by the attempts Of Morones
and his lieutenants to get the agri-
cultural workers into the Labor
movement-with q certain slight
success.
Agrarian leaders complain that
the interests of their people have
been much neglected as compared
with what has been done in the in
terest Of the industrial workers.
Thus, one observes in Mexico an
other episode Of the old feud be-
tween the town and country which
has developed in nearly every ma
ton.
Since 1922 this feud has grad
ually grown more bitter in Mexico,
in spite of the fact that Gales has
never been charged with lax en-
forcement of the new land program
there have been more lands dis
tributed in his administration than
in Obregon's. But Gales recog-
nized the Laboristas politically in
a thoroughgoing way, putting the
head Of the Labor movement into
his cabinet in the powerful post Of
the Department Of Labor and In
dustry.
Drove M0r0nes Out
Obviously, it was an enormous
victory for Soto.y Cana and Man
rique when they were able to drive
Mor0nes from the government. Now
they seem determined to drive
from political office every repre-
sentative Of the Laboristas, on the
ground that they have served the
interests Of a small clique, using the
Labor movement for their own self
ish and sinister purposes.
After the sweeping denunciations
Of Soto y Cana and Manrique,
there is room for fear that the
Agrarians are not worrying partic-

MESSAGES FROM MARS

Prof Frank Schlesinger, director Of the Yale Univer

Mars.
He believes that Mars is inhabited and thinks it pos

to our own But he does not think they trying tt

much that we'll understand them.

UNDERGROUND WEALTH

Men who has studied the worlds mineral resources
agree that the extraordinary increase in the
ton OF COAL iron and other minerals will produce
political arrangements between nations in the future
in the past.
At present there is deal Of hypocrisy on the part
governments with relation to the exploitation Of mineral
by their nationals. Throughout the world
the demand for minerals increases, the relations be-
tween nations with large supplies and those with large
demands will undergo changes.
The world little appreciates the part played by min
erals in modern civilization Obvious as is that this

principal metals within the last few decades.

tween the control Of large supplies Of metals and the
preponderance Of world power he was considered an
academic Spectator. His prophecy that the United
