LINCOLN WINS ELECTION
November 6

TODAY is the siXty-ninth ami
n versary OF, the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln to the presidency of
the United States on Nov. 6, 1860.
Lincoln won by 18O votes, Breck-
enridge receiving 70, Bell 80 and
Douglas H. The election was strict
ly sectional, for the Republicans got
no electoral vote in a southern state.
The year closed in gloom for
those who hoped for peace and in
February a southern confederacy
was formed by delegates meeting
in Montgomery, Ala.
On Feb. 18, jeff Davis was in
augurated president of the oonfede-
racy.
After Lincoln's Inauguration on
March 4, he denied the right of any
state or number of states to go out
of the Union. In the south the ad-
dress was regarded as practically
declaration of war.
Less than six weeks later the Con-
federates bombarded Ft. Sumter in
Charleston harbor and the Civil war
was on.

A Job for BrOOkhart

Hlrrah for Senator Brookharti He is getting
cited about prohibition. He has discovered it is not
being enforced. Prohibition is in bad way. Some
thing should be done about it.
No one will disagree with that.
The particular incident which so shocked Brook
hart that he recounted to the senate Tuesday was
not so surprising as expected from the advance pub
llicity The revelation that he saw senators at
d bankers wet party in Washington
Brookhart need not have gone to that party to
make his discovery He could have seen evidence OF
liquor at the Capitol Has he been asleep in the SEN
ate all these years?
But let that pass Let us forget that Brookliarts
discovery is old stuff and credit him with great
expose. What are the facts that be "exposed?"
The facts are that many senators drink, and bank
e and butchers and bakers and candlestick makers.
The facts are that prohibition does not prohibit and
enforcement does not enforce The facts that
much alcohol probably is being consumed in the coun
try as before prohibition.
Up to that point every will agree with Brook
hart. and only wonder why he woke up so late.
But who and what is to blame, and what we
going to do about it?
Brookhart's answer is simple. He says. fire Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon and get a who will
enforce the law Well, we have heard many argu-
ments for getting rid of Mr.. Mellon but this i'm
presses us least.
If Brookhart will consult his friends Of the w. c.
T. U. and the Anti-Saloon League or if he will read
the famous article by DR.. Clarence True Wilson on
the late Wayne B. Wheeler, the senator will make
certain other instructive though belated discoveries
He viii find ont that Secretary Mellon is not di-
recty responsible for enforcement and does not
pick those who are-the professional dry leaders
nominate the government enforcement czars.
So enforcement has failed under dry picked prohi
8bition chiefs and under that active crusader the
former assistant attorney-general, Mabel Walker

That is why the prohibition question has become
- serious. If prohibition not be enforced after

BootIegging Would Suffer q
Worse Slump Than Wall
Street If the Professional
DryS Should Withdraw
Their Support.
SAYS:

CENATOR BROOKHART tells
- about a wet dinner, and gets
himself nominated to the 'Ameri-
can Polecat Club" by an angry con-
stituent.
That is one way of looking at it.
Another way would besto include
those who attend such dinners, keep
quiet, and vote dry.
Senator Brookhart is more ex-
ceptional than they are, which is
one reason for the unpopularity of
his attitude.
Meanwhile, if all law makers were
to be half as frank about wet din
ners they have attended, prohibition
presently would lose one of its
strongest props.
Hypocrisy has done more to pre-
serve this law than anything else.
AS long as congressman and
legislators can get credit for up
holding prohibition, without sac
rif1cing the privilege Of taking a
drink, especially in high society, the

A New Jersey bootlegger com
promises with the government by
paying 100000
The government demanded $498,-
900 on the claim that he had made
nearly two millions during the last
three years for which he had made
no tax return.
He was a plasterer before he be-
came bootlegger.
Whatever else may be thought of
the case, it shows what wet din
ners are doing dinners that
could not possibly furnish the trade,
without the patronage of profess
Sional drys.
Indeed, bootlegging would suffer a
worse slump than Wall Street if the

IF you would find hopeless bunders seek them IN the
1 lives of those who are presumed 10 oe unuSualV
intelligent. For instance there's the almost unne-
evable stupidity of Senator Noses who selected QUO
Kahn member of a firm of Wall street giants for
treasurer of the Republican senatorial committee
The instant the announcement of that appoint
ment struck the air there an explosion Whlcn
caused Mr. kahn to thrust his resignation into the
palm of the foolish Mr.. Moses, but Mr.. Moses has
illstrous company in this, the hour of his dlscom-
future, such company being no less figure that the
late Theodore Roosevelt.
Although the Progressive party of 1912 was dedi-
Gated to the task of emancipatng the country from
the grip of privilege and high finance, Colonel
Roosevelt proceeded to select for national chairman,
George w Perkins of New York city, for many years
the right hand man OF j. Plerpont Morgan, ana
popularity regarded as the incarnation of all the evils
from which the Progressive party promised relief

With PantageS going the road Tor criminal
assault and his wife going for driving car while

appears that the Pantages moral fiber is not flrm

to blow much harder than the wel-known winds OF

IT is not my notion that these

Diphtheria Can Be Eliminated

liberia increases, apparently associat-
ed with the coming of the change
in the weather and also with the
opening of schools and the making
of tremendous numbers of new con-
facts by children.
Recently the health section of the
League of Nations made a complete
survey of the diphtheria situation
throughout the world.
AS a result of this survey, 1t is
concluded that antitoxin can control
the disease and that immunization
against diphtheria by toXin-anti-
toxin or by anatoXin is efficient in
developing resistance to the disease
The battle is a difficult one, but
cooperation of the public is certain
to yield successful results if the
campaign is persistent.

liberia.
Absence of the disease from
certain communities in any con-
siderable number of cases over
long periods of time develops a
careless attitude toward the con-
dition, so that people neglect to
take the measures that are avail
able.
In the United States the num-
ber of cases of diphtheia has de-
creased almost continuously since
1923, although in 1927 there was
a sharp rise, explained by the fact
that the diphtheria germs are living
organisms and may vary in their
virulence from time to time.

" ING ALBERT'S determination
N is to keep a small section OF
wild Africa" actually wild. The
park becomes a sanctuary in which
the animals and plants of the dis
trict can be preserved.
The park thus becomes a sort of
outdoor African museum in Africa.
This is important, because many
rare species of animals which have
disappeared from other parts Of the
world now are making their last
stand in the park district.
Scientists desire to study these
animals in their native surround
ings. 1t is possible to learn what
an animal looked like from a stuffed
specimen in a museum. An ami
mails skeleton can be measured in
the laboratory.
But to find out how an animal
lived he must be studied in his ma
tive surroundings. That is Why
scientists have sought to have a
sanctuary established in Africa be-
fore it is too late.
American scientists are gratifed
by the appointment of Drs. Mer-
riam and Osborn to the park COM
mission. Both men have been ac-
tive supporters of the conservation
movement, both here and abroad.
At present a joint expedition OF
the Carnegie institution and Yale
university is in the park to make a
study Of the gorslla.
The expedition is headed by DR..

of psychology at Yale university.

There can be no misunderstanding Of the
-dict of the polls. The people have
ken. They have repudiated, with more
hn emphasis, the control Of government by
! sinister forces that seized a party label,
II. through it, dominated government for
eir own selfish purposes.
THE size of the vote can bring to Mayor
bet Sullivan only a grave sense Of response
sity. His is the task not only of giving
4 efficient administration, but keeping out
ais own party any Of the tactics or the
int which gave him his opportunity.

lrning note when the supreme court over

5ple had voted and in which they had
iced their trust.
gWhate3er technical reasoning might be
sed to support that decision, the people un-
srstood it to be wrong and they traced the
int against their cause to a political
achine. And they saw that machine and
bt Mr.. Glossbrenner, the candidate drafted
misguided friends to distract attention
som its misdeeds, and voted accordingly.
The people understood that it was not by
kcident that every part of government
hich had come under the control Of the ma
aine had outraged public opinion and oper-
ed against the public welfare. When ruth
SIS hands had seized the public schools, the
.tizenship decided that it was time to take
b more chances.
! It was not a revolt Of section of the city
4 of a class. The returns from every por-
on of the city had a striking similarity in
cures and percentages. The people had de-
ided to end a political machine and end it
eyond repair or rehabilitation.
In this is the hope of better day. For
4 it is the evidence of an alert, intelligent
nd aroused citizenship which demands that
he government be of the people, by the
eople, and for the people.

National Park Established In
Africa to Prevent ETtinc-
ton of Wild Animals.

TWO distinguished American SCI
4 entists Just have been appoint
ed members of the commission of
the Pare National Albert of Belgian
Congo, Africa. They are President
John c. Merriam of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington and
President Henry Fairfield Osborn of
the American Museum of Natural
History of New York City.
To those who have been in the
habit of thinking of Africa as most
ly jungle inhabited by savage tribes
and dangerous animals, the exist
ence of q national park in that land
may seem somewhat of a surprise.
But as a matter of fact, modern
man has made such inroads upon
Africa that many authorities fear
that the day is not distant when the
only African lions will be stuffed
ones in museums.
1t is to forestall that day that
the national park in Belgian Congo
was established.
1t received its name from the fact
that it was first suggested by King
Albert of Belgium, who obtained the
idea of national park while visit
ing those of the United States.
King Albert was in this country
in 1919, & few months after the
armistice of November, 1918.
In 1921, the late Carl Akeley, SCI
enlist and explorer, after a visit to
the volcanic region of northern
Kivu, recommended that a gorilla
sanctuary be established there. He
pointed out that unless such action
was taken, the gorilla would soon

Voting and Drinking

W7H1LE we are censoring sena-
w tors, it might be a pious idea
to give some thought as to how their
voting squares with their drinking.
If it is SO reprehensible to intro
duce a lobbyist in disguise, what
about doing the same thing with
hOoch?
Senator Gillett says that the pres
ence of bottles is rumored, but that
he would not think of shopping
around to confirm the rumor, much
less of censoring any of his col
leagues who might be found, guilty.
The observation obviously was
made as an alibi for Senator Bing-
ham. but let that pass.
Tt goes to the bowels of the pro-
kihition problem.
What that problem needs more
than anything else, and what would
do more to solve it, is dose of
common, ordinary truth.
Crime depends on character
rather than drugs, and when we
attempt to suppress a drug at the
price of popularizing falsehood, de-
ceit, and hypocrisy, how can we
expect to diminish it?
The things our young people have
learned because of the way law
makers and officials are handling
prohibition furnish much of the eX-
planation as to why SO many of
them go wrong.
The complacence with which
leaders in politics and society violate
a law theyupretend to uphold, strikes
at a basic element of human char
acter-an element without which
anything like a sound conception Of
honor and sincerity is impossible.

ITINERARY IF THE
 GRAF ZEPPELIN IS
 ANNOUNCED AT JUNEAU

An official itinerary of the route .of the Graf Zeppelin when it bel gins it's Arctic explorations, has just been received thru hte state and interior departments and was published in the Juneau Empire last week. Three flights are pro- posed the routes covering from 5,2OO to 7,20O meters.
 The initial flight will be between some northern point of Norway, Varangel, Kirkeness or Tromso, to Fairbanks. It will start in April, 1880, flying across the Arctic re- gions on the Greenland American side of the pole to Fairbanks.
 There it will take oh gas and other supplies and return to the Arctic, exploring the inner section of the unknown area toward the North Pole. Completing that work it will return to it's base at Fair banks. After taking on fresh sup plies, it will take-Off on its home ward flight. On this it will journey across the Arctic region on the Si- berian side of the pole, surveying the unknown Nicolas Il Land, then returning to it's starting point in Norway and then back tO it's home in Friedrichshafen Germany. The zeppelin has a radius of action of 12.000 meters.
 Instruments are now being in stalled in the Graf Zeppelin for scientific investigations. A com mittee of IS of the leading scien- tis+s of the world is srperintending thjs work, and af,er they have completed tests viii be made in trial flights. Plans for the estab- 'iGhment of both permanent and temporary stations for Arctic ob- servations are also being laid by this committee.
