ated a feeling that it is necessary
for the Republican party to build
platform and adopt program
for the Democratic party to work
from. Those days seem to be gone.
Whether we care to admit it or
not, most of us feel that Mr.. Hoo

speech, really should have been the
second gum" or defensive position
usually held by the Democrats; but
it should be remembered that Mr..
Hoover's opening gun" was really
double-barrel gun, and that the
other barrel is to be set of in the
form of elaboration" after Mr..
Smith brushes off the target.
Governor Smiths record for fear
less expression Of his viewpoint,
without loop-holes or elastic
phrases, has supplied the Repub-
licans with material from which to
build a platform and ammunition
for their campaign cannon. The
Democratic program must not look
so unwise to the Republicans or
they would not come quite so close
to copying it outright.
Each voter, Democrat and Re
publican, should note carefully the
basic treatment of all major issues,
as proposed by Mr.. Smith in his
acceptance address, as Mr.. Hoover's

Jealous Judges

Rather refreshing to hear occasionally
declaration that the constitutional rights of
citizens must be protected 1t is not so refresh
ing to discover that the statement always seems
to come when those whose conduct has caused
very deep suspicion of their manner and meth
DDS Of livelihood are caught by the police.
The Constitution and the statutes are rather
firm in their purpose to prevent any tyranny
by autocratic police. They provide ways and
means to protect innocent citizens from unjust
embarrassment and confinement in prison cells.
The law has gone far to make it impos-
sible for tyrannical police arm of the gov
eminent to Cypress an innocent man.
But that protection was never designed to
permit criminals to escape punishment and
prosecution.
In these days when organized crime is
recognized profession when safes are cracked
almost as regularly as they are opened by their
owners, when crowds at country clubs are held
up and robbed by bandits, when gunner and
bootleggers murder and pillage in many coun-
try village, jealous judges for the Constitution
might be expected to show some discrimina-
ton and some little sentiment of cooperation
with police efforts to curb crime.
The public should have an interest and
curiosity in the speed with which a profess
sional bondsman, himself very recently from
Federal prison as a partner in bootleg con-
spiracy, obtained freedom for persons whose
personal equipment was at least unusual.
One of the men had revolver, oiled and
loaded, when detectives arrested him in the
belief that he might have some information
valuable in solving a murder in another
county.
In the rooms of another was another small
arsenal, without any noticeable reason to be-
lieve that the artillery was designed to protect
life and property.
Almost before one of these men had reached
a cell, bondsman appeared and under orders
Of Judge Wetter an appointee of Governor
jackson, his constitutional rights to liberty
were fully exercised.
The incidents connected with that release
were such as to at least cause some cursory
inquiry by the bar association. A reputable
business man, relative of city official, admits
that he expected to receive fee for signing
the bond Of man he had never known, at the
request of the professional bondsman with the
prison record.
The bar association should either strongly
commend Judge Wetter for his zeal in protect
ing the constitutional rights of citizens, or, it
is just possible that the inquiry might result in
far different recommendation.

Smith On Immigration

We stated thatwe disSented from Governor Smiths
position on immigration as declared in his acceptance
speech.
The part to which we object is: "I am opposed to
the principle Of restriction based upon the figures Of
immigrant population contained in census thirty
eight years old"
The first immigration quota law became effective
in June, 1921. 1t allowed European countries an an
nua quota of per cent of their immigrant population
in this country shown by the census of 1910 That
censls reflected the very large immigration from
southern and eastern Europe in the two decades prior
to it, and resulted relatively large quotas for
tries in that part of the world.
In order to scale down quotas from southern and
eastern Europe and increase those from counties in
northern Europe the new immigration law Of 1924
used the 1890 census basis and reduced the quota
from to per cent
With the exception Of those cases in which the law
has worked individual hardship by the separation of
families, the operation of the 1924 statute has in
the main been satisfactory. BY cutting down immi-
grafton from southern and eastern Europe it has aided
the country in the difficult process of dgesting great
masses of immigrants from those sections who ocked
to great cities in the years prior to restriction
While there is basis for view that immigrants
from southern and eastern Europe are less desirable
as individuals than those from northern Europe IA
we are better able to absorb northern European
immigrants at this time. That the principal
for changing the census base from 1910 to $780,
Smiths proposal criticisng it does the fact that
the quota is based a thirty-eight years old
presumes change to census of later date.
When the problems precpitated by the enormous
flood Of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe
bottled up largely in our great cities, have been
roned out, there undoubtedly will be occasion to change
the basis Of the quotas The adoption Of any
later census than 1890 at this time, however would
the country into the difficulties which existed
when the 1910 census was the basis
Barring such changes as are necessarily to lessen
the hardship arising through the separation Of fami
lies under the quota aw-7changes that advocated
both by Hoover and Smith in their acceptance
speecheswe believe that the 1890 basis should be pre-
served and that any change therefrom at this time
would seriously detract from the good results that
have been and are being secured from the present
operation of the quota law.

lation which is at present providing knoty problem
because it is absorbing so much credit.
1t may well be answered, however, that this is a
small price to pay for the return of the world to the
gold standard.
Some philosophers attack our faith in gold as the
essential of a sound monetary system as hangover
from barbarisn. They may be right but the fact of
immediate Importance is that the faith Is there.
And without faith in the currency system there is
economic chaos, and widespread hardship.
AS the result of financial craftsmanship of high
order since the the threat of such chaos is now
virtually removed. This is fine thing.

the city did away with the So
called "five-minute" double park
ing regulation.
There is, however, no menace
in a parked, or rather motionless
car, where driver is in the front
seat, ready to move instantly upon
notice either of a policeman or
of another driver.
We would therefore suggest
new law, which would merely give
us a common sense definition Of
parking" Such a definition
should say that so long as there
remains in the car a person COM
petent to operate it, the car shall
not be construed as parked"

EOR twenty-five centuries medical men have sub
a scribed to the same credo. No higher praise can
be said of Greek medicine than that it developed
standards which are still today the basic principles of
the ethics of medical practice.
The credo is known the Hippocratc OATH There
is difference of opinion between Greek scholars
however, as to whether the oath really goes back to
the days of Hippocrates.
The oath is still used by many universities as the
formula with which medical degrees are granted.
By it the physician swears to follow that system

League Houses Refugees

Speaking of war, especially with
regard to its effect on individuals,
the League of Nations reports that
of the more than 100000 refugees
caused by the Russian upheaval and
the Lausanne treaty, all but 100000
have been provided with homes.
The League of Nations, which has
furnished material assistance to
bring this about, rightly regards it
as one of its most constructive
achievements
The 1,250,0o0 Greeks who were
forced to leave Turkey, the 100000
Turks who were compelled to aban-
don their homes in Greece and the
100000 Russians who fled to all
parts of the world when Bolshevism
took possession of their country,
have been housed and established.
Their pitiful condition constituted
one Of the misfortunes that has not
been given much publicity in con-
nection with the war, but that APP
pealed to large numbers of people
in a forceful, intimate way. The
fact that it has been overcome, that
95 per cent of these people have
been taken care of, shows how much
can be accomplished without brass
bands and official receptions.

observation despite the fact that every
movement of babies has been watched

Last Winter DR., Hrdlicka started to

Sleeping on Stomach.
One trait, he said. which few pa

that of the baby sleeping on its stomach
with the knees drawn up. an almost
impossible position for a human being
to sleep In. but somewhat similar to the
position of a dog or cat. Apparently
an occasional infant falls naturally into
this awkward position when falling
asleep, and sleeps soundly. 1t seems TO
