Nova Scotia Votes Wet

The wet-dry election returns from Nova Scotia
show much larger vote for government control than
for retention Of the existing Temperance act"
Voters we're asked to express themselves on both
systems. Many voted only on one.
The result was that both propositions received a
majority. But the majority in favor OF government
control was around 360O0 whereas the majority in
favor of retaining the present so-called prohibition
was about 1000.
Nova Scotia is the only dry province in Canada
with the exception of tiny Prince Edward island 1t
has been dry" In the same way that the United
States is dry Bootleggng and speakeasies ourished
The bootlegging industry In fact accused of being
the main support of the dry agitation. Those profit
ing by prohibition did not want government control.
Nova Scotia has been dry since 1920. Other
Canadian provinces which undertook the prohibition
experiment at about the same time since have aban
doned it.
Ontario voted few days ago to keep its state
control system
The government of Nova Scotia no doubt will in
terpret the election by the relative size of the votes
the two questions of the plebiscite 1t seems likely
she will swing into line with her sister provinces and
will adopt the Canadian plan" government control.
Thus this country has more testimony from the
experimenting of neghbors to the north.

Colossus

TT Is interesting to compare
l. wonder Of the modern world with
the wonders of the ancient world.
Among the so-called seven Won
ders of the ancient world was the
Colossus of Rhodes.
Its exact height Is not known,
but most authorities think 1t was
about 30 feet high.
1t was q statue Of HelioS, the
sun-god, made of bronze. Tradi-
ton has it that it stood with foot
on either side of the harbor, while
the ships passed between its feet.
1t took twelve years to erect the
Colossus. The statue, which was the
work of sculptor named Chares.
was set up in $50 B. G. But 1t did
not remain standing for long. Fifty
six years later it was toppled over
by an earthquake.
The wcrd COLOSSUS" was used by
the ancients to describe a number
of Similar large statues. But none
of them lowered more than ITO or
100 feet, according to classical schol-
arS.
Our modern adjective, Colossal"
comes from COLOSSUS"
What would the ancients think II
they could see the new bridgeT
What would they think, for ex-
ample, of the fact that giant blocks
of concrete containing 100000 cubic
yards OF concrete are used TO anchor
the ends of the cables?

Falls Light Sentence

Justice Hitz of the District of Columbia supreme
court has refused to make martyr of Albert B. Fall
Instead giving the former secretary OF the interior
the maximum sentence of three years in prison and
100000 fine the judge made it year and 100000
fine.
The maximum sentence would not have been I'M
Just punishment for such heinous crime as cabi-
net officer accepting a bride to dispose OF the ma
tional resorces of which he the sworn guardian
But civilized society grants more than stark JUS
tice to its maefactors it tempers justice with mercy
And the rule of mercy should apply to the high who
have fallen well to the low; to the rich as to
the poor.
The Judge went farther He was willing to sus~
pend in full the prison sentence not because of false
sentimentality but because to man Of Falls age
and health it probably would mean life sentence or
worse.
Blu when Fall insisted upon appeal the case, 1t
was impossible to suspend sentence
Doubtless the country wishes Fall might have &C
copied the verdict and suspended sentence, and gone
quietly out of the lmeght For the country is tired
of being reminded of that dishonor to its public office
May the case of Edward L. Doheny the oil multi
millionaire charged with bribing Fall, be prosecuted
quickly and vigorously, and that sordid chapter

and beagn to eat whatever they
pleased without relationship to the
substances that had been given to
them in the hospital, the teeth be-
gan to decay again.
The Iowa authorities then decided
to find out whether they could pre-
vent decay of teeth in children who
were being fed at home, provided
these children were given all the Sc
lected foods.
The diet required included one
quart of milk, one egg, a teaspoon
full of cod liver oil, an ounce of but
ter, one orange, two or more Serv-
ings of fresh vegetables and such
other foods as the child liked itself.
Candy was allowed after meals but
not at other times.
When five children were put on
the diet and kept to it for period
of ten weeks, persistent decay Of
the teeth stopped; practically all
the children gained weight during
the period, three of them at the

The Soviet Filters

Fortunately the Washington government Is not
consistent it's Russian policy. Otherwise the Soviet
world fliers would have been called upon to make
nonstop hop across the Pacific, the American con-
tinent and the Atlantic, to use Canada as base.
But science, like commerce, has a way of cutting
through the absurdties of diplomacy.
The Russian plane, Land Of the SovietS, not only
has landed safely at Seattle but is there thanks in
part to the help of the United States coast guard and
weather service At Unalaska island the coast guard
saved the Soviet craft when it forced to land In
rough water.
When the plane arrived at Seattle the enthusiasm
OF the crowd great that the mayor and repre-
sentatives of the had difficulty in getting to
the filters to give the official welcome.
Now Seattle is not known red center; indeed,
it is rather conservative. Why then the enthusiasm
Clearly the coast guard men and the Seattle citi-
not interested in the politics of the Russian
filters their government any more than in the poll
tics of other distinguished foreign visitors.
The welcome was for brave men, The recognition
was for great achievement
Here Is proof that American citizens not con-
cerned with the old state department attempt to out
law Russia and Russians. Americas attitude toward
Russia is, live and let live.
aneous and generous the welcome and cooperation
given by Russia to the foreign erS who have crossed
that country.

Bingham Is Stubborn

CENATOR BINGHAM could have
~ escaped censure by apologizing
for what he said about the in
vestigating committee.
He prefers to take his medicine,
however, rather than apologize.
Some folks will put this down to
courage, and admire him all the
more.
Others will put it down to plain
stubbornness, and admire him all
the less.
What really counts is the fact
that the senate seems to be more
incensed, and more likely to censure
him, because of what he said
rather than what he did.
Meanwhile, President Hoover calls
upon the senate to get busy with
the tariff bill.
The senate dernurS. 1t wants full
and free discussion, for which 1t has
not had adequate time.
Most of the full and free dis
cussion has been and will continue
to be for the benefit Of the folks
back home.
Senators, whether from farm or
industrial districts, are, not sure
that they have made a sufficient
impression on their constituents.
They want Mr.. and Mrs. Voter
to know that they are doing their
duty when it comes to filling the
Congressional Record with words
and making proper use of the
franking privilege.

Child's Diet Important for Teeth

rate of one-half pound each week.
AS a result of their survey OF
children'S diets, the Iowa authori-
ties are convinced that even when
children'S menus are planned care
fully, the foods that the child eats
may be considerably different from
the diet prescribed.
When the food Is placed before
the child. it eats the things that
1t likes and avoids the others.
Mothers must keep careful watch of
the child at the time of eating to
make sure that the important food
substances are actually taken.
AS a result of their study, the
Iowa physicians also are convinced
that acid production In the mouth
is not important in relationship to
the development Of carries or tooth
decay.
In other words, control of the
diet is of the utmost Importance in
growing children in relationship to
the development of sound teeth.

Censure Bingham


Chairman Norris Of the senate judiciary COM
nnittee had to cite Senator Bingham for censure.
There was no choice. Bingham charged the sub
committee on lobbying with framing him. That
charge not only would blacken the committee mem
bers If allowed TO stand but would discount the lobby
investigation which is rendering such notable public
service.
BY this vli1caton Of his fellow senators, Bingham
has forced the senate to take official notice Of his
offence which otherwise would have been passed over
by the senate though not by the public. Indeed,
Norris would not have introduced the censre II
Bingham had the decency. much less the grace, to
apologize for his dishonest charge against the COM
mittee
SO Bingham will have to take his medicine for
slipping paid official Of the Connecticut Manufac-
ters' Association into the secret tarfn1aking ses-
zion of the senate finance committee disguised as his
own secretary
The resolution does not exaggerate in stating that
Binghams action was contrary to good morals and
senatorial ethics and tends to bring the senate into
dshonor and disrepute and such conduct thereby Is
condemned"

not see how I could answer truth
fully unless the prosecutor were
forced to tell precisely what his own
conception was. Even for the most
devout it is difficult to put an an

There. is the God of H. G.. Wells

And yet it would be entirely
unfair to stamp me or anybody
else as agnostic if we asserted our
right to reject the preachers deity

infinite being can not become the
private property of any sect.
Even with many words 1t would
be impossible for me to define clear
ly the God in whom I believe. 1t
is not easy to reduce the infinite
to little words and phrases.
But I would want to exclude from
my affirmation any faith in a jeal-

over again during the campaign.
He does not understand how es-
sential it is for senators and rep
resentatives to kosp in contact with
the electorate, even though they
must often do so by mailing
speeches that never were made.
Neither does he understand what

The Upkeep

DUT any one with an actuarial
ID mind ought to be inclined to
carry the problem Of taking girls
to football games right down to the
logical conclusion.
It isn't so much the original cost
as the upkeep. To invite a girl to
the bowl Is something like giving
her a fraternity pin. Any moder-
ately careful parent has a right to
make inquiries about the young
mans intentions when he has COM
mitted himself that far.
An unfortunate blenlish Is our So
cial scheme has brought 1t about
that honorable intentions are, in the
long run, rather more expensive
than baser motives. 1t Is fair to
assume that the intentions Of Yale
and Army men are always honor
able.
To be sure, there will not always
be violets or even tickets to the
bowl. Many a girl has married
on the big game and lived to re-
pent over the radio.
Intercollegiate football probably is
one of the greatest matchmaking
agencies in America today. A girl
and boy. fairly uncomplicated in
their emotions, start out from New
York at 10 o'clock in the morning.
It will be after 6 when they return.
That's a long time.
One or the other Of them must
spend part Of the hours In making
conversation. You can't shout
Hold 'em, Yale" indefinitely.
The great danger to both boy and
girl comes In this necessity Of hav-
Ing to make conversation. Next to
the weather, love-making Is the
greatest topic Of discussion known
to the community.
It Is one of the few branches OF
the art of talking in which repetition
Is not a reproach.

Hoover Must Eight

President Hoover has been driven into corner
by the Republican old guard. 1t has captured the
extra session of congress, overthrown his program
for limited tariff revision, and blocked tariff legisla-
ton by insisting on vcousy high rate increases for
already prosperous protected industries
This situation, which began with the calling of the
special session. has gone from bad to worse First.
the house. under complete control Of the old guard.
passed the worst tariff bill in history"
That did not cause much excitement, because 1t
was supposed the President would have more infu-
ence with his party in the senate. Such was not the
case. The Smoot senate bill is little better.
Only six weeks of the special session remain.
The time has come when the President must take
sides His silence doubtless unintentionally is help
ing the old guard measure.
Hitherto the Democratic Progressive bloc has
fought for the Hoover tariff policy. Only its fight
has prevented the old guard from repeating in the
senate its house victory.
The President thus is in the embarrassing position
of depending upon others to fight his battles against
the majority leaders Of his own party Friends OF
Mr. Hoover have justified this by the explanation
that President should not interfere with congress-
Since that explanation was made, however. the
President has been moved to intervene formally in
the flexible tariff provision dispute he interviewed
earlier against the farm equalization fee.
If the President can intervene in other disputes
he can intervene in the major issue Of extoronate
tariff rates
This is a Hoover battle 1t was he who pledged
during the campaign that there would be general
upward tariff revision. 1t he who called the
special session specifically to aid the farmers and
adjust rates only for industries in distress.
Either the President must disavow the old guard
Hawley- smoot bill, or the public will that
t,a M Iopoer oonoseS sIch tariff steal
The public can understand the Presidents reported
desire not to split his party But the split already
has taken place. The old guard that ruled the
Harding and Coolidge administrations and fought
against the Hoover nomination now has openly set
out to run the Hoover administration.
Either the old guard or the President is going to
lead The tariff battle is the major test
