Editor Times-I have been a
standholder at city market for more
than thirty-fve years and have
treated customers fair and square. It
makes no difference where I am put
or where I have my stand, my Gus
toners hunt me up. Life is not very
pleasant. when one has to work on
the outside in all kinds Of weather,
but if a person makes q living he is
satisfied. This is true in my case
and with hundreds of others who
stand on the outside Of the city
market.
The public is in favor of us stand
ing there because they can buy
cheaper from US than the. can near
home. 1 have stood on Delaware
street for years and years. Even the
business men on Delaware street
and vicinity would like to have US
back again.
We have at the present time one
of the best market masters we ever
have had, Harry Springsteen.
Other cities of our size, and big
ger, have markets on city streets and
in the heart Of the business districts.
As everyone knows there is much
unemployment now, so why not let
us make living in an honest way?
AS we al know, there are a few
undeSirables who stand on the city

Recall Huerta Fate

r Asst November, and while Gales
~ was still president, so the story
goes, seven generals called on him
with the demand that he have Perez
Trevino, also a general, named as
his successor.
Of those seven generals at least
five are taking prominent parts in
the rebellion, while one, Escobar,
is it's accepted Chief.
Rubio, whom Aguirre says the re-
bellion is designed to prevent from
becoming president, is an engineer,
a former ambassador to Germany
and Brazil and a recognized leader
of the Liberal party, but not a mill
tary man.
Putting two and two together, the
conclusion seems inescapable that
this is not only a military revolt, but
one which has military rule for its
immediate objective.
One naturally recalls the unhappy
fate of Victoriano Huerta, whom the
late President Wilson drove from
power on the ground that he rep
resented military rule and that the
United States would not stand for
military rule in Mexico.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

One of the ideas most promoted
by food faddists of one type or an
other is the notion that the eating
of any special food substances may
be the cause of cancer and that ab-
stinence from some single article of
diet will prevent cancer.
In Great Britain research has
been undertaken during the last
year to find out whether there was
any connection between cancer and
deficiencies in the diet.
A number of well controlled ex-
perimentS were made with the feed
ing of vttamins A and B and with
diets deficient in these vitamins.
However, cancer did not develop in
any of the rats used in these expert
mentS.
DR.. j. A. Murray, director of the
imperial cancer research fund, con-
cludes that there exists no trust
worthy evidence, experimental, clin-
ical or statistical, of a casual rela-
tionship between cancer and the abb
sence or presence of excess OF any
particular constituent Of the human
diet.

VXTAS Wilson right? For one, I

But the present situation involves
more than that. After Wilson and

Putting that aside, which promises

The fact that this revolt has as

Rubio for President

VXTHATEVER else may be
w thought of it General Jesus
M. Aguirre's statement, as given the
United Press, leaves little doubt as
to what is really back of the COM
motion.
1.-THE reasons for it," he says,
"are the open and insulting
methods by which Plutarco Elias
Gales and Emilio Portes Gil are
trying to impose Pascual Ortiz
Rubio ont he people as president"
In this connection it will be
remembered that Portes Gil is SER
wing as ad interim president in
place of General IAlvaro Obregon,
who was assasinated just after be-
ing elected, and Ghat he was chosen
to act as such by the Mexican con-
gress.
1t also will be remembered that
a convention of the revolutionary
party recently was held for the
purpose of nominating presidential
candidate, that Rubio and Aaron
SaenZ were the chief contenders,
and that Saenz bolted because as he
claimed, delegates favoring his op-
ponent had illegally been enrolled:

Find No Relationship of Diet to Cancer

It has been shown that the alb
sence of certain vitamins from the
diet will result in the appearance
of various alarming symptoms and
that vast overdoses of some Vita
Minis may have toxic or poisoning
effects.
However, the poisonous doses are
apparently far beyond any quantity
that one might get in an ordinary
diet.
Hardly enough has yet been
learned to make positive statements
Or to give definite advice as to the
quantities of vitamins to be taken
by different persons under different
circumstances.
Enough is known to say that no
definite relationship has been estah-
ished between vitamin intake and
cancer.
This announcement will not, how
ever, affect in any way the claims
Of the food fanatics or food cultur-
lists. They are not interested in
facts; they are statesmen Of propa-
ganda.

President and Press

President Hoover on his first day in Office indi-
Gated his purpose to reform that little understood
but most important institution, the White House press
conference
The problem of presidential press relations is far
greater than the technical interests of newspapers
the publicity interests of the White House 1t goes
to the heart of informed public opinion upon which
all other democratic institutions depend.
The problem is not an easy one Probably no
perfect solution will be found. But it is high time
that reforms be attempted.
The Coolidge system protected the President at
the expense of both press and public. 1t tended to
encourage the President to the entire press Of
the country as his personal propaganda media with
out taking responsibility for that propaganda.
And the system rigged that the press vir-
tually was forced to forego its customary protection
of the public End to print at times inspired and ques
tionable propaganda its responsibility instead
of revealing the real source.
Coolidge talked to the correspondents at length in
regular semi-weeky conferences but only at rare
intervals were they permitted to quote the President
even indirectly Finally Coolidge prohibited the
use of such terms as "the White House spokesman
which the correspondents were using in fairness to
themselves and to the public, to indicate their author
ity for the story.
That Hoover understands clearly the nature of
the difficulty and his responsibility to the public for
perfecting more honest system is indicated by his
statement at his first White House press conference.
That statement by the way carried by the press
under Hoover quotation marks with his permission,
while Coolidge permitted quotation Of what he
said on this subject.
IT am anxious" Hoover said "to clear up the
twilight zone as far as can between authoritative
and quotable material on one hard, and such ma
terial as I am able to give from time to time for
purely background purposes on the other
He proposes to work out an improved system in
direct consultation with officers of the White House
correspondents and of the Washington news bureaus
Certainly that is the fair and effective way to go
about it.

DOLTTICAL equality between

OF education. mean education for
both races. The fifteenth amend
ment represented a common mis-
take Of all self-governing communi-
ties. 1t was an endeavor to right
wrong by making a law, or to be
more precise, a constitutional pro-
vision. But evils are never righted
merely through the Iegerdemain of
law.
Reforms come ultimately out of
the heart Of man. No dragon ever
has been slain with golden pen.
And so the law should walk slowly
and never parade beside the band
wagon at the head of the process
sion.
Even a Well-established majority
has no right to tramp with hob
nails over the beliefs Of the minor
ity.
Certainly there are millions of
Americans who do not believe that
1t Is a sin to drink. No nation ever
succeeded in making an act a sin
merely by setting it down as a
crime.
Let Hoover look into the history
OF all nations and he will find that
he got both feet off all available
evidence in his inaugural address.
Our whole system of self-goyerr1-
ment will crumble either if Officials
elect what laws they will enforce
or citizens elect what laws thev will
support"
Who says so? What is Hoover's
authority for that? There never has
been a civilized people which did
not pick and choose its favorite pro-
visions among the statutes under
which it lived.

We recall that far-off day when
we went to Deer Creek to attend a
birthday party, driving this horse

We hitched the mare between
two strange horses and they at
once assumed the aggressive,

the liver, lights and gizzard out of

His love of home was most pro-
nounced when you tried to drive
him to the buggy; you had to beat
him to start him; his carburetor
seemed to be flooded with gas, but
when you turned round and started
toward home he put his ears down
and you couldn't hold him any
more than you could bride a cy-

But once back at his old fireside
