cities of southern California have made urgent
plea to be allowed to buy all the power generated at
the DAM less what is set aside for pumping water and

If they are not allowed to buy it from the gov

The Edison Company has the first round in
the battle. tentative division of the power made
by Secretary Wilbur, gave the Edison Company and
the city of Los Angeles equal amounts and reserved
for the smaller cities only per cent of the total
power available.
The cities confident that the preference rights in
the bill would protect them bewildered and dis
tressed They have made urgent plea to Secretary
Wilbur to reconsider and let them buy the govern

The struggle this year is vital as that of last
year. Never has the issue between public and private
mower DEVELOPMENTS been more clearly drawn.

Undulant Fever Gains a FOOthO1d

health departments and for the
United States public health service
are attempting to find out how fire.
quently the disease contagious abor-
ton occurs in cattle.
Examinations of specimens of
milk are studied as to the occur
renee of the germ of tuberculosis
and also as to the possible pres
ence of the germ of malts fever.
Patients who have the Symp-
toms of this disease, which in
clude intermittent fever, great
weakness and symptoms similar
to those of typhoid, malaria, and
even chronic heart disease, are
studied by modern diagnostic
methods which involve removal of
specimens of blood and testing Of
these specimens as to their reac-
ton with the germs of the disease.
The menace of undulant fever is
not the menace of a great plague,
like the great epidemics of influenza,
but rather the danger Of a new con-
dition which insidiouSly creepS into
the population and gradually affects
increasing numbers of people.

The Difference

Just how far the city has gone along the
way of better things can be judged from the
fact that today city council and not grand
Jury is investigating the transaction OF pub
lie business.
Not even the former mayor of this city,
Charles Jewett, whose campaign enthusiasm
led MIN into unrestrained utterances, has
charged crimes or taken his story to the
grand jury or the public prosecutor.
1t is different picture and different at
titude than existed in 1926, when official
pressure was used to protect, suppress and
defend those under fire.
Grand juries hunted for Black Boxes and
the legislature, corresponding to the council,
refused to listen to demands for investlga-
tions.
Then came the pitiful spectacle of Off
Gals. very high ones, and former otlclalS
pleading the statute of limitations in various
courts.
They pleaded this statute when charges
were made of actual crimes and the stealing
of public moneys.
Now the public will get all the facts,
quickly. They will be able to make up their
own minds, and it may be well to hold TO
the thought that those who make the cr1tl-
cisms and charges do not journey to the Office
of the prosecutor. That may give a cleW ana
uggest that since the public is to be the
nv. it may be well to get all the Facts be-
jya rendering a decision.

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
November 10

CIxTY-SIX years ago today, on
y Nov. 10, 1853, President Lin
coin delivered his famous address
dedicating Gettysburg as national
cemetery.
Immediately after the famous
battle of Gettysburg, the Confed-
crates retreated with the Union
forces in pursuit, leaving burial Of
the dead and care of the wounded
to the military and local authorities
Of the state of Pennsylvania.
A part of the battlefield was OBJ
tanned for a cemetery and Lincoln
was asked to help dedicate the GEM
etery by few appropriate remarks.
A distinguished orator, Edward Ev-
erett, was scheduled to make the
principal address.
Everett made an address worthy
alike of his own fame and the ex-
traordinary occasion, but it was for
gotten in the tumult of acclaim of
Lincoln's brief speech.
The Presidents address was SO
pertinent, so brief, yet SO compre-
hensive, linking deeds Of the present
to thoughts of the future in such
simple yet exquisitely nodded
phrases that the best critics have
awarded it an unquestioned rank as
one OF the worlds masterpieces in
rhetorical art.

TT seems to me pity that Bishop
IL Manning thought it best to for
bid a communion service in an
Episcopal church at which Pres
byterian minister was to offictate.
I haven't any doubt that an ex-
cellent legal case can be made out
for the bishop. Probably he was up
holding the letter of canon law, but
not so long ago there seemed to be
the promise and the hope that the
Protestant church was minded to
rise above denominational differ
ences in an effort to find unity.
Surely, I am not mistaken in
thinking that there recently was a
move in New York to raise funds for
an Episcopal cathedral, and if mem
DRY serves me right, people of all
sects were asked to come together in
the enterprise. Indeed, there was a
slogan that this was to be "a house
of worship for all people"
No, have not forgotten. I'm
afraid that Bishop Manning has.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

public health service have shown
a definite relationship between the
germ causing contagious abortion in
cattle and the one causing malta
fever or undulant fever in man.
The germ is found in the milk of
infected COWS, but this is not ap-
parently the chief mode of infection,
since the disease affects young men
more frequently than it affects
women and children.
In Denmark, investigators found
most of the cases among agricultur-
al workers, especially those coming
into close contact with cattle, and
in this country many cases have
been found in workers in packing
houses dealing with swine, sheep
and cattle generally
1t seems likely that infection
probably occurs from direct contact
with diseased material rather than
from the drinking of infected milk
or eating infected butter or cheese,
although it is quite possible that
the latter may be a source.

DODGE RELIGION

NEWSPAPERS on the whole are
Nv somewhat afraid of religion as
a theme on which to build comment
Several readers have written to the
editor lately, asking him to advise
me to refrain from discussing the
topic.
But in this T see no logic. Con-
ditions have changed vastly in the
last few years. Religion begins to
come out from the privacy Of church
walls.
Ministers ask for microphones and
bid for the attention of many. Ger
tainly, if a sermon bites a man,
that's news, and nowadays the voice
of the preacher goes as widely as
the sound Of any jazz orchestra.
Mind you, I am not regretting the
fact. If only discussion becomes
general enough, the world may yet
be able to reconcile religious differ
ences. Nor need a unity among all
protesting Christians be the final
goal
There Is some common factor in
the religious instinct of Harry FL
mer Barnes, to pick at random a
well-known liberal, and the most
fanatical holy man scourging him
self at the gate of Tibetan temple
If only we all can seize upon this
common factor we might have a
creed broad enough to let the whole
world in and not maintain so many
different denominations, each one a
smallish Noah's ark, into which the
faithful may proceed, only by two
and two.

umnist may write about another
Not only may, but undoubtedly will.
The doctor reaches a vast audi
ence. He taps at the dialS in my
room, and 1 let him in. More than
that, I let him have his say with
out interruption. And I might say
to him in the phrase made familiar
by columnar fans, "Of course, I
don't always agree with you"
And so I should be permitted
freely to answer back in this small
voice, which can never avail very
much against his wave-lengths.
AS it happens, am very much
interested in religion. Five years
ago it was college football, and be-
fore that, professional baseball, but
now it is religion.
I do myself less than justice on
such afternoons as I write about
cooking, when the true internal
tumult within me eddies about the
rocks of controversial theology.

A Successor to Watson

Senator James e Watson of Indiana is out OF place
leading the when Herbert Hoover President
His unftneSs for the position is illustrated suh-
GENTLY by the situation of the pending tariff BILL
Watson was lobbyist for the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers before he was elected to the
senate and an able lobbyist, able as Grundy, the
present principal lobbyist for the manufacturing in

Leadership Drifts West

IN America, leadership is taking a
Il westward drift, but for obvious
reasons.
Ever since the Atlantic coast was
settled, there has been a westward
move of the people, taking with it
the best blood and most vigorous
spirits, as we'll as the center of pop
ulation.
The center of population is now In
Indiana, which makes it easy to I'M
derstand why Californian Is Pres
ident, and why the western group
is playing such an important part
in congress.
It is not so easy to explain why
Scotch, Irish and Welsh have come
to play such a prominent part in
British politics.
Rugged scenery and rural life
may have something to do with it.
Whether as pioneers or politicians,
children of the soil, especially of
rough, impoverished soil, have a way
of coming to the front.

Russia Has System

IN Soviet Russia they exile the
Il candidate first and hold the
election afterWard.
That is what you might call pre-
ventive medicine. 1t not only
eliminates the possibility of an up
set, but spares people the necessity
of rioting on the one hand, or of
defending themselves against rioters
on the other.
AS leader of the right wing, Mr..
Bucharin was rot acceptable to
those in control of the administra-
ton, so he is removed quietly from
office and expelled from the Com
munist party.
Since that is the only party in
Soviet Russia, Mr.. Bucharin has no
place to go.
A one-party nation is tough on
politicians who have ideas of their
own.
Russian and italian exiles are
coming to represent a rather large
per cent of the worlds available
talent.
Speaking of politics and poll
ticians, not only England, but the
world, loses a picturesque figure in
the passing of T. P. O'Connor, who
was a member of parliament for
forty-nine years and long has been
known as father of the house of
commons"
The ability to write good obitu-
aries played no small part in bring
ing him fame as journalist.
It now remains for some one of
his friends and admirers to do as
we'll by him.
His career as journalist, as
legislator and as champion of Irish
nationalism, represents one of the
brightest spots in recent British
history. He not only won a place
of confidence and respect from
those whom he fought, but a place
of affection in their hearts.

Lloyd George Is Dean

MYTH O'Connor gone, David
w Lloyd George becomes father
of the house of commons" with a
service of thirty-nine years.
This will surprise most people, for
Lloyd Georges virility creates the
impression that he still is a young
man.
Spirit, rather than years, de-
termines mans true age.
Some of us are older at 40 than
others are at IS.
g
Lloyd George is a Welshman and
Ramsay Macdonald ScotchInan,
while T. P. OConnor was an Irish
man. England has come to point
where she draws many of her
leaders from the outlying provinces.
There came a time when Rome
looked in the same direction for
hers.
One wonders if the parallel will
run to its logical conclusion, or
whether it is mere coincidence.

pardon of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings now be-

Since that unspeakable crime thirteen long years
have dragged by, how long only two in California
prisons know. At the time of the crime the officers

Where evidence was lacking, they created it; where
witnesses failed they coached them in perjury; where
the guilty were missing, they framed innocent men.
Now the people of America expected to engage in
hunt and furnish the guilty as hostages for the
innocent?
Before Governor Young and the state supreme
court is no question of who committed that crime.
The question is not even to the possible guilt or
innocence of Mooney Billings of this other mis-
deeds The question is simply this: Were these two
men given a fair trial and proved guilty of murder
by the due processes of American justice?
Justice-loving Americans will not be confused by
running up blind alleys to look for the guilty They
will adhere to the straight road and demand quick
action, long overdue to free two innocent men and
wipe from the record of American justice this shame

A CALL to psychologists to stop
N quarreling over "isms" is
sounded by Or. Joseph Jastrow, pro-
fesSor Of psychology at the Univer-
Sity of Wisconsin and past preSi-
dent of the American Psychological
Association.
Professor Jastrow views the war
between FreudianS, behavioriSts,
introspectioniStS and other schools
of psychology, as unnecessary.
THE acceptance Of psychology in
the confederation of the sciences is
accomplished" he writes in the
Scientific Monthly. But an internal
warfare continues which in his
torical circumstances is unfortunate
and in professional responsibility
ScandalouS.
If physicists, chemists or biolo-
giStS spent as much futile argument
in discussing the purposes of their
science and held as antagoniStic
views of the fundamental concepts
and direction Of progress, that prog
ress itself would be just so far
hampered."
DR., Jastrow points out, however,
that it is not unnatural that psy-
chology should have been the scene
of noisier battles than other
sciences.

Behavior

PROFESSOR JASTROW believes
L that the advance of psychology
will be accelerated by a realization
of this essential unity of psychology.
Science advances not by way OF
'isms,' but by Qualification of con-
cepts," he writes.
Accordingly, he calls upon stu
dents of psychology to realize that
different "isms" are merely parts of
the same picture and that it is nee
essary to fit these parts together
in proper relation without undue
emphasis on any Of them.
Professor Jastrow deyotes a large
portion of his article to considering
the school Of behaviorism founded
by Dr. John B. Watson.
This is made necessary by the fact
that the behaviorists have been
loudest in ridiculing other brands
of psychology and most extreme in
their claims.
Watson, for example, denies the
existence Of consciousness or
thought, and pictures all human be-
havior as reactions into original re-
f1eXes or direct responses to stimuli
and later developed conditioned re-
fieXes,' in which one stimuli is sub
stituted for another.
Professor Jastrow deplores this
emphasis upon the conditioned re-
fleX.
THE conditioned reflex, though
real, is most limited" he writes,
and the problem of the true be-
haviorist is to explain how we de-
velop intelligence by remaining SO
largely free from conditioning
