A Noise May Grow.

A great deal of the noise which as
sails our ears in busy city, for In
stance. 1t not only due to the constant
ly increasing use of machinery but be-
cause the type of building construction
now used tends to prolong and transmit
noises. A bare plastered wall, for ex-
ample, reflects noises better than a mir
ror reflects light. If you clap your
hands together in a bare plastered
room, more than IS per cent of the
noise will be reflected from the wall.
The sound of the hand clap will, there
fore, persist for several seconds. This
phenomenon of reverberation causes
noises to be built up and retained
alive" in a room in such a way that
their intensity is actually increased.

SOCIALISM DECLINING.

One of the notable things disclosed by the
publication of the tabulated returns from the re-
cent National election the smallness of the
Socialist vote Notwithstanding that the Social
lists had in Norman Thomas perhaps the biggest
man they have nominated for President and
notwithstanding that the total votes cast in the
recent election exceeded 81 100000 the Socialist
vote was less than in any election since 1900
except in 1924 when it was so intermingled
with the vote for La Toilette that unscrambing
even for statistical purposes is out of the ques-
ton The Socialist vote in 1928 was 267,S35.
The Socialists cast their largest vote in 1920
when Debs received 919,799 votes in total vote
that as more than ten millions less than last
year Their best showing was in 1912 when
it was S97, oil in a total of 00,00O-22,0O0,-
600 less than last year That means that in
1912 the Socialists cast about per cent, OF
the votes-six out of each 100. Last year they
cast about seven-tenths of per cent. of the
votes.
Several things enter into the cause of this
vast shrinkage. One, CT course is the prosperity
that we have had in recent years. Another, no
doubt was the more than usual intensiveness
of the campaign of the major parties last year
But, probably, than anything else has been
the failure Of Socialistic principles when applied
to government in Russia and elsewhere and their
failure to meet adequately the crisis of war when
it broke in the last decade. Socialism began to
decline in the United States than ten years
ago, when such as John Spargo, Charles Ed
ward Russell and other intellectual giants aban-
doned it. 1t might be said that this is not
indicated by the big Socialist vote of 1920, but
that is explainable by other things than adher-
to Socialism. In that year thousands of
so-called Progressives not satisfied with
either Harding Cox and there was no Pro-
grsesive candidate to vote for. Then, there We're
other thousands who voted for Debs because they
thought he had been too severely punished for
his opposition to the seective draft law. They
felt that he ought to have been released from
the penitentiary after the had ended.
Socialism in the that it means the
Naturalization of industry has all but disap-
peared from the United States and most of the
rest of the world.

South Stands with Gov. Smith.
(Juian Harris, editor Columbus, Ca Enquirer
Sun in New York Times

(Juian Harris, editor Columbus, Ca Enquirer
Sum- in New York Times)
Despite the outburst which blew group of
Southern States into the Republican column the
South is Democratic at heart and is likely to
remain for many years. For that reason there
has been intense interest in this section
in the statements made by former Gov. Smith
Gov. Roosevelt and Representative Box Of Texas,
the Democratic whip.
When Mr. Box's letter to Governor Roosevelt
was made public the reaction was one of indgna-
ton among the rank and file. This feeling was
reflected in the newspapers of the South and the
Texas Representative both ridculed and as
sailed for his attempt to drive IS 100000 voters
out of the Democratic Party and turn it over
to a million two of those who left its ranks
at critical time. Mr. Box's ultimatum failed to
elicit favorable response except from men of
the type of the Rev Mr.. Upshaw and his fol-
lowers.
Interest in Gov. Smiths radio talk was evil
dent, and his emphasis on the need for constant
and continuous Democratic efforts to influence
the Nations policy has found response already
in Georgia, where it is proposed to keep county
district and State organizations not only intact
but active. This result is due in large part to the
influence of Gov. Roosevelt, who has reiterated
his predecessors plea for living wide-awake
Democracy.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE STILL AT
WORK

w. w. Jermane, associate editor of the
Seattle Times and its Washington correspondent
insists that the drys who contend that Gov
Smiths wetness cost him more votes than any
other issue in the last election are all wrong.
He declares that his religion more disas-
trous. In his Geographic correspondence in the
Times recently, Mr. Jermane, who supported Mr..
Hoover for the Presidency, said that Prohibition
was convenient cloak for religious intolerance
to operate under without detection. He added :
In formal statements of dry leaders
since the election, prohibition said
TO have been the biggest issue of the
campaign, and to have explained the
sweeping Hoover victory almost in its
entirety l do not believe that to be
true; and l think l know something
about last years issues.
Mr.. Jermane declares that wild Bill' Dono-
van is convinced that he is heing opposed for
Acknowledgement in Mr.. Hooyer's Cabinet more
on account of his religion than because he does
not believe that Prohibition is the best solution
of the liquor problem in the United States. His
record as District Attorney and Assistant District
Attorney shows it is said that he has been
an effective Prohibition enforcer.
Mr. Jermane thinks that only was re-
ligious intolerance effective in the late
campaign against Gov Smith than Prohibition
but he thinks that there has been no let-up on
that issue since the election He thinks, further.
that Mr.. Donovan viii not be Acknowledgement,
and declares that Mr. Hoover has told friends
that the Attorney&General will be a dry Pro-
testant. He says the President has offered Mr.
Donovan the position of Secretary of War but
the latter has refused it. because he would rather
be AttorneyGene and believes that he would
be appointed il it were not for his religion.
