Jim On Job

Losing few colonies and captains and pri-
Yates from his political army evidently means
little to Senator James E. Watson, now the
active head of the conspiracy at Kansas City
to prevent the nomination of Herbert Hoover
Having secured count Of votes in this
State by means and methods which are at least
open to protest, Watson now thrusts himself
into the leadership of the sinister group which
believes that the way to nominate President is
to get few fellows with very definite pur-
poses of pillage together in some back room
and tell the delegates where to go.
The job in which the Senator is engaged is
to prevent the voters of his own party from
having the nan they want. That has always
been Watson s job in politics.
This year he is slightly handicapped. Some
of the men who were his most valiant aids two
and four years ago are now sojourning in
secluded places where keen-eyed guards and
wardens are protecting them from further
temptations. He must miss the services of
Clyde Walb. The Stephenson who dreamed
four years ago of making Watson Vice Presi-
dent is no longer at his side. For very good
reasons Watson is not thrusting to the fore
front the Governor of this State The statute
of limitations does not always run against
memory and conscience.
Perhaps the Senator is performing real
public service. For he probably has his uses.
The people of the Nation, who are learning
about Watson and will learn more in the next
few months, will understand if the movement
he leads is successful in stopping the nomina-
ton Of the commerce secretary. They will
know that the forces and influences which
Watson represent had their own reasons to dis
like Hoover
That is about as high compliment as could
be paid to any candidate or any citizen.

The President Does Not Choose

Some hundred fifty millions of the people 5
money has been invested in a great power
project at Muscle Shoals
For seven years one effort after another
has been made to turn this great property over
to the private power interests. These efforts
have failed thus far because of the nature of
the various proposals.
Each, in itself, has been SO utterly unfair to
the public that no Congress has had the hardi-
hood to ratfy the grab
Finally Congress voted, in the session just
ended, to keep Muscle Shoals and operate it
for the benefit of the country at large. This
action was the result in part of the knowledge
gained during the seven years and in part of
disgust toward the greed of private exploiters.
The vote in both House and Senate was deci-
sive+
The bill then went to the President for his
signature The President yesterday revealed
that he did not choose to sign. There is dis
agreement as TO whether this kills the bill, but
the President unquestionably believed that it
did
His attorney general had expressed the
opinion that pocket veto in this case would
be an effective veto.
The President has not heard the last of
Muscle Shoals, of course. At the December
session, it is certain to be voted on again by
Congress, and in time, if necessary, to pass the
bill over his veto.
Meantime, it will have become an issue ii
the presidential and congressional campaign,
an issue surely not to the liking of the Kansas
City nominee.

Coolidge Takes to the Woods

M There is something rather significant in President
Coolidges choice of vacation spots.
Two years ago he went to an out-of-the-way spot
in the Adirondacks close to the big population Ger
tiers in an air ne but eTectually isolated from them
in reality.
Last year he went to a mountain lodge in the Black
Hills of South Dakota to bask in the utter quiet and
solitude of the distant West,
This year he will spend his summer on wilderness
estate in northern Wisconsin not far from Lake
Superior For all its nearness to the busting cities Of
Superior and Duluth this spot is as Isolated ana re-
mote as his previous summer homes.
Throughout most of the year the President is sub
iected to an everlasting crush Of people There is
never any relief Not for moment can he relax and
forget that he is chief executive of great nation
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES; they surround him every
minute Of the DAY.
In such circumstances a change becomes impera-
tive. When it comes time for vacation the only
SPOT that offers any inducement to the President is
some place in the wilderness; some place far from
CITY or town. wnere man can be alone WIN MN
self So President Coolidge selects first the Adlron-
dacks then the Black Hills then the Wisconsin
forests.
No one is under such pressure as the President
Yet his problem is to a certain extent the problem
of nearly all OF u.s. The tremendous popularity OF
automobile touring in the summer is evidence OF 1t
So is the great growth of the summer resort-the
frame hotel by lake or river, the CABIN IN tne NOUN
tains, the cottage in the small town.
Modern America is getting very populous and
husv even the least important of citizens Hnds MS
life more and more trespassed on by strangers.
There is no time fer introspection or selt-com-
nunion Although modern life has treoled mans
need of detachment in which he can orient his inner
self to the outer tumult it makes it continually harder
for him to get it.
So vacations are vital to us And to most Oh US
like President Coolidge, the vacation means chance
to withdraw for moment from the press and rush
Of the daily oba chance to get by ourselves taste
the elemental joys of sunshine clean Winds Lonely

Women Take Lead

If Princess Helene lived in the
United States, instead of Rumania.
she would have no difficulty in
breaking the legal ties that bind
her to such skunk.
Whatever else may be said Of
this country, it has made divorce
easy. and quite few people are
taking adyc ntage of it. This is
especially true of women.
The proportion of divorces to
marriages has not only increased
by 200 per cent during the last
forty years, but the percentage of
women compared to men who seek
divorces has grown.
Our courts are now granting
divorces at the rate of more than
10000 a year, or about one to
every seven marriages. Forty years
ago, the ratio was about one to
every twenty. marriages.
The fact that women obtain five
out Of seven divorces leaves room
for another argument. Have they
grown mere aggressive and indie
pendent, or have the men grown
worse?

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION ----
DOGS of The Lord" Spread Death
Written for The Times by VIII Duramt

Cd. 395 A. o., who made Christian
ity compulsory by imperial decree.
1t was inevitable that when re-
ligion and the state became not
merely allies, but the spiritual and
temporal aspects Of one power,
heresy should be made a crime, as
threatening the psychological basis
of social unity and order. Even in
the code of Deuteronomy (xiii, So,
l-6) heresy had been made pun
ishable by death.
The first inquisitor was the mob.
which may always be relied upon
to take the side Of the past. In
the eleventh and twelfth centuries
nobs killed heretics in the street,
despite the efforts of the clergy to
save the victims.
AS the natural process of growth
and change brought an accumula-
ton of new and heterodox ideas
that menaced an unchanging and
dogmatic theology, the church felt
it essential to its safety to insist
that the secular princes whom it
supported should regard heresy as
treason; and most of the princes
accepted this demand as reason
able, on the ground that unity of
faith and worship was indispensable
to political stability.
The first legal executions for
heresy took place in 1922. AS
heresies nevertheless increased, the
church appointed special commits
sion to deal with them Called the
Holy Off1ce), conferred a plenary
indulgence on its personnel and
partial indulgence on all informers
who should aid in the work of de-
tecting heresy, and issued a gen.
eral edict of accommodation
against all who should obstruct the
work in any way.
In 1888, Pope Gregory TX gave
the Dominican monks power to go
from place to place and stamp out
heresy by whatever means they
chose. The Dominicans did their
work with such skill Of scent and
hunt that they were nick-named
