Democrats and the Tariff

There are said to be small number of Democrats
in the senate willing to vote for the tariff bill
being cooked up. These are senator's who find certain
schedules pleasing to powerful industrial interests
in their states. Only small number of such Demo-
cratic votes necessary to give the Republican high
protectionsts majority for their bill.
The presence of these high tariff members in their
ranks is we'll enough known to the Democratic
leaders. Among the leaders, however, there appear
to be two schools of thought on the subject of what
to do about it,
One school favors making the tariff bill out
and out party ISSUE endeavoring to line up every
Democratic vote in the senate against it. If this
done there is good reason to believe not enough
Democratic senators would be able resist the party
pressure to make the bills passage possible
The other school of thought is that it would be
better politics merely to make lot of speeches against
the bill, while leaving any Democrats who SO wished
free to vote for it. Some of this school argue
that passage of the bill would be the best thing that
could happen to the Democratic party.
They have visions of sinking Hoover beneath the
weight of the -Hawey monstrosity in the man
that Taft sunk under the Payne Aldrich act.
We doubt if this second schools scheme is as
slick it may sound. If the Democratic party fails
to make real fight on the Smoot-Hawley BILL the
fact is likely to be quite apparent, matter now
fervid the oratory of the party's speakers.
Republican progressives are making it clear that
they propose to take away the Republican partys
majority this question Only the Democratic party
give it back And if the Democratic party does
this, it need not expect to ride into office its
betrayal of the people.

IN which there will be at least twenty points of agree
ment the British premier announced yesterday. "Of
the twenty, erly three poirts still are unsettled and
hope before the Qeague) assembly ends, announce
ment Of full agreement be made We want the
agreement to be preliminary to calling fve-power
conference"
Even If the Anglo American agreement does not
materiaze rapidly hoped, it appears clear that
eventual agreement is certain. Otherwise Macdonald
master in handling public opinion, hardly would
dare risk the disastrous public reaction to disagree
ment following such officially inspired hopes.
AL Of which seems almost too good to be true,
when one remembers the complete naval deadlock
and bitter relations existing between the London and
Washington governments less than a year ago. as
revealed by sharp state department notes and the
belgerent Armistce day address of President Cool
idge.
The great change has not come about by accident.
1t has been made possible by elimination of both the
Baldwin and Coolidge administrations and by substi-
tuition of the Hoover liberal regime and the Mac
Donald labor government.
But the prospective agreement is being brought
about by far more than good intentions and desire
for peace To reconcile the very real conflict of in
terests and to cut through the technical naval OBJ
stacles required practical craftsmanship approaching
genius.
If America and Britain, the two great naval and
commercial competitors of the world, can agree on
reduction surely it should be relatively easy for Japan
France and Italy to join in final 1ve-power pact to
end this dangerous armament race.

No Diet Suitable Without Vegetables

The vegetables yield very little
vitamin D. Lettuce has appreciable
amounts of it. Asparagus, cabbage,
lettuce, celery, spinach, squash and
tucnip are the low-calory vegetables,
a usual portion of these containing
about one-fourth as many calorles
as the same portion of beets, corn
or potatoes and about one-Sixth TO
one tenth as much as the same por-
ton of peas, lentils or succotash.
The high protein vegetables are
kidney beans, lentils and peas. The
high carbohydrate vegetables are
beets, corn, parsnipS, potatoes, eau
lifIoWer and squash.
Vegetables especially valuable for
calcium are caulifower, celery, let
tuce onions, peas, potatoes, spin
ach and turnips.
The same vegetables do very we'll
for phosphorus, but when it comes
to iron, cabbage, lettuce, peas and
spinach lead the field.

It PincheS at Last

Were it not tragic, there would be some
thing ironic in the frantic protests to the
county council against high taxes.
The irony comes from the fact that for
very many years the important tax payers,
who are now feeling the hurt permitted boss
government to grow and, at times, very many
of them gave their secret if not open aid to
the forces which placed Coffin in command.
The tragedy comes from the fact that
the high cost of bossism is now threatening
the welfare and the prosperity and growth
of this community as an important industrial
center.
Bossism and machine government is al
ways luxury. 1t means high prices for
materials purchased. 1t means loafers in
public Jobs. 1t means useless men on pay
rolls. 1t means support for the tools used by
the boss to overthrow the will of the people
by trickery and frauds and appeals to passion
and prejudice.
The civic forces very righteously protest
that the tax rate is too high. They want 1t
cut. The pinch has come.
Boss Coffin would be the first to protest
against any suggestion that he does not and
has not controlled the county government. 1t
is, apparently, his last fortress and his last
small empire. 1t must feed his soldiers and
his mercenaries.
The right place to cut taxes is at the
ballot boxes. If those who now protest had
taken as much interest in keeping Coffinism
out of the courthouse as they are now taking
in appeals to the master, they might have
saved themselves time, trouble and cash.

Stars Agree

DUT though the world in general
ID was satisfied with Professor
Browns work, he still found minute
irregularities in the motion of the
moon for which no known physical
fact would account.
Accordingly, he decided tc try an
other line of investigation.
The master clock for the astron-
on7er is the rotation Of the earth on
it's axis. This is assumed to be con-
slant.
Investigation of the moons mo-
tons for a century showed that for
number of years there would be
slight gain which could not be
explained. Then for number of
years there would be loss,
There was the possibility that this
was only apparent and was due to
charges in the speed of the earth's
rotation.
If this were true, the apparent
position of the sun ought to vary
similarly. Professor Brown investi-
gated records of these for a century
and found that they tailed with the
irregularity Of the moon.
Recently, Professor Benjamin
Boss of the Carnegie institution of
Washington has made an investiga-
ton of star positions. This was
done for catalog upon which he
is working, which will show the po-
sitions of 10000 stars.

phosphorus and iron by comparison
with other vegetables, and great
amounts of vitamines A, B and G.

people"

Life Length Decreases

ZONES Hume Forsyth, assistant
" professor of mathematics at
Dartmouth, to assert that, contrary
to current opinion, the length of
life in this country is decreasing.
The reduced death rate among chill
dren, he declares, is more than off,
set by what is happening to people
in their SOS or COS.
Whether one accepts this state
ment at face value there is a dis
agreeable amount of truth in it.
Our success in raising the average
of life is to be found at its beginning
rather than at its end. More babies
are growing up and more young
people are living long enough to get

barely past their prime, are dying

Confidence in Courts

Stability of government must nave
foundation. In depotisms it is either fear or
admiration of the dictator. In theocracy
it is belief in deity. In republic, 1t Is IN
the confidence of the people in their courts,
a confidence that these courts are above IN
fuence. beyond emotion, responsive only to
the cold logic of the law, interpreting 1t
without favor.
To maintain that confidence is, Of course,
the first purpose Of judges, and especially Oh
Judges who are chosen for that highest OF
all courts where only questions Of law are
determined.
One of the factors which either destroy
or increase confidence in courts is the time
illness of decisions. When important cases
are interminably delayed it gives the oppor-
tunity for whisperers to start their stores
Of secret influences, opportunities Tor the
petty politicians to spread their poisonous
assertions of power.
1t is important that cases which affect the
whole public be decided as promptly as neces-
sary deliberation will permit.
Such a case is now pending, and, with
no attempt whatever to suggest what the de-
cision should be, it is entirely proper to sug-
gest that there should be no unreasonable
delay in deciding the constitutionahty OF the
city manager law.
Aloof and removed from the whirl of
political activities as are the judges, they
must realize that the entire citizenry is
vitality interested in knowing whether the
people are to elect commissioners at the No
venber election or again choose councilnen
and mayor. They are interested in knowing
what body will select the election officials.
It is not unreasonable to suggest that
there is no other case before the court which
deserves greater or more prompt attention,
for the government of the greatest city OF
the state depends upon that decision.
Very many citizens who believe in the
city manager form of government are pro-
ceedng upon the theory that the law under
which they voted for the change is valid.
The more activities that are taken, the more
preparation for such an election, the greater
interest and enthusiasm, the greater the
danger. For it means that if the decision
should be averse to the law, these thousands
will be disappointed and perhaps lose some
of that confidence in courts and orderly
government which is essential and funda-
mental.
Let it be hoped that the judges will not
find the problems so intricate and involved as
to long delay decision on the debated ques-
tons of law. Something even more important
than the decision itself is involved. 1t reaches
to that very basis Of all self-government.
An atmosphere of doubt concerning so
important question is not the best air upon
which confidence in courts can thrive.

MoSIennS in Saddle

NUR attitude toward the re-
W Mobilization of Palestine as a
homeland FOR the Jews may be
eminently correct. But that offers
no excuse for Understanding or
misconceiving the problem. Like
Christians and Jews, the Moham-
medans regard Jerusalem as a
sacred city.
What is more to the point, per-
haps, they have been in control Of
it for some seven centuries. They
not only constitute a vast majority
of it's present population, but
dominate all surrounding regions.
Being what we are, we lack SYM
pathy with their cause or conten-
ton, but that is no reason why we
should invite a deliberate lack of
understanding of their attitude, or
the difficulty it involves.
