South Asserts Itself

AS one who lived in Texas for
many years, who helped wage a sue
cessful campaign against the forces
of intolerance, who saw the Ku-
Klux Khan rise and fall and who
thinks he understands the pre-
dominant traditions and ideals, this
writer believes that the people not
only of that state, but of the south,
did the natural thing.
The time had come to convince
the north, and more particularly
Democratic politicians of the north,
that the south was not so sodden
in its traditions, not so hopelessly OBJ
sessed with the brass collar COM
pick, that it would stand for any
thing.
The result is not only for the
south, but for the entire country.

Political Revolt

Those who suppose that the Ku-
Klux Khan and Anti-Saloon League
are measurably responsible for the
great shift in southern votes merely
deceive themselves. If that is their
Interpretation, they are only chasing
one more illusionment up blind
alley.
Outside of two New England states
the once section which Governor
Smith carried is not only Protestant
by an overwhelming majority, but
is conferred around the palace of
the invisible empire. That should
be enough to rid any one of the
notion that Republican gains were
of tar bucket manufacture.
Those states which Hoover appears
to have carried we're. perhaps, least
subject to the organized forces of
intolerance. In Georgia and Ala
bama, where Ku-Kluxism still en-
joys its greatest influence, the Dem
ocrats won. In Texas, North Caro-
lima and Virginia, where Ku-Klux-
ism was long since overthrown, they
lost.
The~revolt was political, not re-
igious.

Some Diseases Haze Race Associations

Rolleston considers that there is
a racial liability to the special
disease of the arteries here con-
cerned, and that excess smoking is
in some way associated with its
onset.
AS has been pointed out, diabetes
occurs more frequently in Jewish
persons than in others; indeed, it
has been estimated as being from
twice to six times as high as in
other races. There is a definite
rela tionShip between overweight
and the onset of diabetes.
One series of figures indicates
that diabetes follows overweight in
one out Of every twelve gentiles and
in one out of every eight Jews.
That obesity must have some
definite relationship is indicated by
the fact that Jewish children do
not have diabetes more often than
gentle children, but that the in
creased rate occurs most frequently
between 40 and so years of age.

total abstainers, but rather that
they do not drink to excess.
In this connection, it is interest
ing to point out, as does Sir Hum
phrey Rolleston, that when the
modern Jew cuts himself adrift from
the influence of his race, he does
not remain sober.
One Of the unusual conditions
which occurs more frequently
among Jews than gentiles is called
thrombo- angiitis obliteranS, a form
of disease of the blood vessels with
rednesS of the feet, severe pain &C.
casionally, and sometimes such in
reference with the circulation that
removal of the limbs may be neces-
Sary.
1t is a rather interesting fact
that recently, since the condition
has been definitely established,
cases are also seen in other races,
so that of 300 cases seen in one
large clinic, so per cent were Jew
ish and the remainder was dis
tributed among many peoples.

Herbert Hoover be his president.
No man, no group, can say to him. I'VE made you;
you ours" The east can not say it, nor the west
the north the SOUTH The protected ndustralists
not say it. the banking interests; neither
the farmers nor labor.
Less than any the rabd prohibitionists and
the religious ntolerants claim Hoover their prod
uct. Their votes swelled the amazing total but it
not be claimed that Hoover would have failed
without them
Hoover can be his own man-President of all the
people of the United States.
Hoover is not the type that takes orders, anyway.
He is accustomed to think and to act for himself.
That is why he has arrived where he is today. His
associates always have called him, "the chief"
Some critics think he is too much "autocrat"
Such criticism is good sign The same has been said
of every great President-certainly of Washington,
Lincoln Roosevelt, Wilson. 1t is said of every great
business executive It signifies genius for respon-
sibity, courage leadership. The nation needs such
leadership.
Hoover has another quality of the great. That is a
deep sense of loyalty His attitude toward Coolidge
with whom he so often has disagreed and from whom
he has suffered affront proves that
Neither Hoover any President can or should
be influenced entirely by his political associates
and benefactors.

between loyalty political debtors and loyalty to self
For his political debts if they be called such, tend
to cancel each other.
Every section of the country, every class, every
party faction, and nonpartsans have contributed to
his election.
The only legitimate claim any can make upon him
is that he do his duty he sees it.
We believe he will be himself If he is himself, he
will be the kind of President which long ago made
the name of Herbert Hoover to many people sym

Tolerance and Votes

Bigotry did it, according to some,
though it is doubtful if political
leaders in either camp will care to
indorse the idea. Bigotry did not
play more important part than
the loose talk about it. From the
outset there was a certain amount
of intolerance in the yell for toler-
ance. The way it was capitalized,
quite as much as the thing itself,
helped to accentuate the religious
issue.
In no section of this country can
the people be stampeded by calling
them narrow-minded. To be more
specific, New York cannot drive the
south to do it's bidding by broad
casting disagreeable activities on the
part Of a small minority which are
not characteristic of it and which
it has been doing its best to
suppress.
Such phrases as "the Bible belt,
the region of hook-worm and
Baptism" the "anti-evolution spirit,
and rural ignorance" did a lot to
make votes for Hoover.
The south entered this campaign
with more than one grievance. In
the first place, it felt that its
attitude toward prohibition had been
overridden. In the second place, it
felt that this was done on the as
sumption that it would vote the
Democratic ticket, no matter what
happened. In the third place, it
inferred that those who regarded
it thus lightly would give it no voice
in a Democratic administration.
The south simply made up its
mind to show the country that it
was not a doormat for Democratic
politicians.

The Solution

THIS is comparatively easy
Il problem. But it points to play
of which few players take advan-
tage, and yet which is bound to
occur at least once in an evening
of Bridge.
South leads a diamond, North
playing low and East winning the
trick East's lead now is of little
Importance, since North and South
are bound to win spade trick, a
club trick and three diamond tricks.
The play in particular, of course,
lies in the first trick, since North,
by playing low. simultaneously eS-
tablishes the diamonds and insures
re-entry from the South hand.
If North had played high diamond,
East and West would have easily
defeated the problem.
When you intend to establish a
suit and you know you must lose
a trick in it, be sure to lose the
trick before your re-entry is de-
stroyed.

WHAT happened in the south

XXTHAT happened in the south
w and why? That is the
biggest question mark left by the
election. Mr.. Hoover not only did
better than any one expected, but
he did something that no one ex-
pected.
A few hearty forecasters Opined
that he might carry North Caro-
lima and fewer still thought he
might have some chance in Flor
ida. They could hardly make
themselves heard above the din of
SCOTS and sneers, however, and
when il came to. suggesting that
Virginia or Texas were doubtful,
those who harhored such a thought
were put down as verging on in
sanity.
Well, as Governor Smith would
say, it looks as though the miracle
had happened, and that, like so
many other human creations, the
solid south" had drifted into the
realm of the past tense.

istrate Dodge in the Harlem Magis-
trate Court, charged with felonious

hearing before Magistrate Dodge in
spite Of the protests of William Kar-
lin, unioL counsel.
