GIVE HIM X VACATION

Having been on almost every side of every political fence, and having been one of the most stalwart de- nouncers in the ranks of the Re- publican party, it Is no great wonder, perhaps, that Senator Borah causes trouble when he begins making speeches for Herbert Hoover. If We were running the Republican cam- paign we would not call on the 1dahoan at all. A man whose carly speeches contain biting references about Hoover before the latter was dreamed of as candidate Is cer- tain to have his early statements brought to light and compared with what he now says.
 The trouble with Borah is that he cannot be employed to speak for any candidate without having some- thing like this occur. He has been entirely too independent in the past not to have walked all over the toes of almost every official that ever held sway in Washington.

MRS. WILI.EBIsANDT's SPEECH

After Mrs Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, assistant attorney general of the United States in charge of prohibition enforcement, had made her speech at Lorain. Ohio, in which she made her usual diatribe about religion, the Republican National Committee recalled the five pages of her speech which had been sent out in advance, the committees ex- planation was that it was "a mis- take"
 The committee is to be congratu- lated. By its action it indicates it is souring on the nlode of campaign ing followed by the lady politician. The Republican party cannot afford to have her as an official speaker when she does little else than goad ministers of the gospel into taking active part in the campaign.

Nobody ever refers to them. and even the hard working editors of the state press seem to ignore them en- tirely.
 This perhaps is inevitable in a presidential election year. The state platforms. written largely as a mat ter of custom and form. mildly re- fleet the national platforms. take care not to say much, and promptly become buried in the pit of forget. fitness.
 What the state candidates are do- ing is running along with the na- tional tickets. If occasionally . plat form must be quoted it Is national platform. and not state platform.

INFLUENZA HITS
 STRICKEN ISLAND
Porto Rico Health Officials Fear
 Grave Results

San Juan. Porto Rico, Sept. 2l ON With 15.000 cases reported by health authorities and the Red Cross, an epidemic of influenza caused grave concern in Porto Rico today. In addition a thousand cases of malaria, measles and other dis eases have also followed the tropi- cal hurricane.
 Physicians said frankly they were alarmed at the situation. Red Cross officials announced that no town of the island was without an increas- ing number of influenza cases and that pneumonia cases were increas- ing.
 It was possible if the influenza cases continued to develop into pneumonia that there would be an outside call for nurses. The Red Cross was ready to assist the health commissioner if he decided he need ed additional forces.

complaining. And the others are eagerly awaiting the time when they too will be sending their children to real school buildings. This is the psychology ot the situation" to use a much-abused term. that all doctors of the school system are confronted with. The schools uss up half the tax money, that is true. But just who is doins any complaining about this! We would like to hear about it. The only complaints seem to come from officials. not the parents of the children attending the schools. Why not 60 about the mat ter in a more comprehensive man. ner? Why not ask the Parents and Teachers associations to discuss the subject of auditoriums and pass resolutions for and against, these to serve as guides to the officials.
 The Parents and Teachers asso- citations soon will begin meeting. We hope they will think it worth while to enter into the school building con- troversy. They owe 1t asa duty to officials. By far the larger part of the membership is composed of parents. They should realize their power and influence and prepare to use it at a time when a policy of acquiring proper school facilities is being chal- lengcd. Let them enter into this dis cussion wholeheartedly. The issue is simple: Progress along modern lines or retrogression.

PANIC IN A THEATER

One of those tragedies that turk in public places occurred in Madrid yesterday. A vast audience in a theater. fire on the stage, panic, and death and injury to scores, if not hundreds.
 Mny of the deaths could have been avoided had sane appraisal of the situation spurred them into keeping their seats until others closer to the exits had had time to escape. But such things are easier said than done. The instinct for self-preserva- tion at such times does not think. The drive to get out is so intense that few pause to weigh the dangers dangers of remaining inside a few minutes longer.
 A few such disasters in America brought universal recognition of the fact that asbestos curtains were needed to prevent fires on the stage from reaching the audience: and then the added precaution of many exits lighted by electricity from a separate circuit. These precautions have mada Americans +baato,, e, fo the new buildings going to amazing lengths to insure quick exit in case of danger. We have had our lessons and have learned them well.
