Europe Driven to Union

A N European federation, even if
IN limited to purely economic ac-
Invites, is novel enough to be inter
esting. Who would have looked for
such a thing thirteen years ago,
especially with Germany as one of
the participants?
Yet, as one reviews recent events,
such a venture appears not only
logical, but almost inevitable.
Europe is being driven into union
by her own conditions on the one
hand and by American dominance
on the other.
Whether in war or trade, people
are led to make common cause by
the presence of a common enemy.
Economically, the United States
has become Europe's chief bugaboo
and nations at one anothers
threats only a few years ago are
beginning to appreciate the neces-
sity, if not the duty, of CO. operative
action.

Worth Considering

If it is true that criminal convictions in England
have been cut in half, and that the British people
without the aid of Volstead law are drinking less
liquor each year-and this is the statement made by
Winston Churchill distinguished Tory statesman, now
visiting in western states-he facts should be in
vestigated by the Hoover law enforcement commits
sion.
AS chancellor of the exchequer Mr.. Churchill said
he compelled to write off fifteen million dollars
a year of revenue from drink taxes This was due
to the increased amount consumed At the same time
the government took in five hundred millions year
from liquor taxes.
"An amount" says the former chancellor which
I understand you give to your bootleggers."
There has been immense decrease In drunk
enness" he declared, land actually have had to
shut down some of our prisons"

Billions for Insurance

TINE legal reserve Of American in
l. surance companies not only has
reached one hundred billion, but has
doubled within the last six and a
half years.
DR.. Ernst H. Cherrington says
that prohibition furnishes the eX-
PLANTATION.
"This is the latest of many eco
nomic evidences not only of the
value of prohibition" he says, "but
of its widespread common observ-
ance by the great majority of the
American people"
The method of arriving at such
a conclusion is obvious, if not con-
vincing.
The three billions that we for
merly spent for booze each year
has gone into life insurance, and
there you are.

A MERICANS eat tremendous
IN amounts of meat, and with
good reason.
The meats most commonly used
are beef, veaI pork, lamb, fish and
fowls. The muscle meats do not
provide many of the essential in
gradients for a healthful diet, as
compared with glandular organs,
such as liver and kidney.
Animals can not live successfully
on an exclusive muscle meat diet,
whereas, they can exist for consider
able periods of time on diets con-
tanning both muscle meat and what
used to be called entrails.
The glandural organs or entrails
contain considerable quantities Of

They Never Learn

Once more the men who make business
of politics in this state demonstrate that they
belong to the Bourbons, who never forget and
never learn.
There could be nothing more archaic than
the gathering today of the Republican state
committee which calls in the candidates for
mayor in forty of the largest cities and plans
to help and aid them in their campaigns.
1t reveals the viewpoint of the politicians
toward the government of cities, their rell-
ance upon patronage, pap and power, their
desire to mislead the people with labels
rather than attract them with real service.
All that the committee demands is the
label, and labels in politics these days are just
as authentic, and no more, as the labels
bootleggers put upon their "pre-war" poisons.
The committee frankly is interested in
the election of Republicans to this office. For
the mayors have power. They name police
men. They give contracts. They handle
delegates. They distribute public funds.
They turn over public employees to partisan
service.
They do not discriminate between Duvals
and the Seebirts. All stand upon an equal
footing when the directors of the machine
gather to plan and plot for continuation OF
power.
What these politicians have not learned,
although they must fear it, is that the people
understand that partisan politics and city
government have no real connection and that
this burden will be lifted by the city man.
ager form under which party labels dlsap-
pear and men are elected on principles, char
acter and fitness, and not upon secret deals
and back room plottings and deals with
bosses.
The people of Indianapolis have pointed
the way. They are getting rid of govern
ment that always threatens rulerSmp by
Coffin who stands very high and is still most
powerful in the state committee.
If the committee had desired to gain
public confidence, it might better have an
nounced that it would examine the candl-
dates who desire to ride into office under It's
flag and would repudiate those who are
paIpablv unfit and who will probably disgrace
their party if they should happen to be
elected. And there are some, at least, VINO
should be repudiated. They won their noml-
nations through Hickery. They are candl-
dates of the grafters and the corruptlonsts,
the criminals and the gangsters.
Public notice that the state committee
would repudiate such candidates would be the
very best politics. But the tradition OF
machine politics is still too strong. Not even
the memory of recent disgrace and humlha-
ton has taught the lesson.
Some day, perhaps, there will arise IN the
state leader who understands the spirit OF
the new politics, which will be based on real
service. When he comes, those who have
thrived on trickery and deals and party labels
will go into oblivion.
A general Endorsement of all party candl-
dates, good, bad and indifferent, merely
means that its recommendation is meaning
less and worthless.

Turn Crank

TN the gallery devoted to physics.
l. the usual Hands of" sign, so
frequently seen in museums, is re-
placed by signs inviting the visitor
to tinker with the exhibits.
For example, one piece Of appa-
ratus is designed to demonstrate the
existence of the electron, the ulti-
mate particle of electricity out of
which the atoms of matter are con-
structed.
The visitor Is invited to turn a
crank. There is little metal box
with a glass top. Within the box,
a minute speck of radiun salt is dis
charging electrons.
Turning the crank depresses pis-
ton at the bottom of the box, ex-
panding the air in it and condens-
ing the moisture in the air into
miniature fog The paths or tracks
of the electrons are then visible as
luminous streaks through the fog,
And the question of museum ia
tigue? 1t disappeared entirely with
the new arrangements. Experts
found it was due to having too
many exhibits. This resulted In the
fact that the visitor had to bend
over to see one exhibit, then crane
his neck to see another.
Five well-chosen exhibits teach
him, whereas a hundred-al highly
valuable to the expert-nevertheless
merely confuse him.
In addition, exhibits in the new
Buffalo museum have been placed
in the positions where they are most
easily seen. Labels have been de-
signed so as to be easily read. Light
ing is adequate without glare.

can visit his museum without con-
tracing museum fatigue.

Not Retired

vt is convenient to conceive the
Il literary universe as limited and
as composed wholly of fixed and
burned-out stars. No man begins to
teach until he has grown a little
weary of learning.
But a electorate should not be a
dam upon which one may sit and
contemplate pooled waters. There
are new things being said in new
ways, and no reservoir is sufficient
to contain them all. In out-of-the-
way places, springs start up. Rivers
not yet mapped or regarded, roar
and gurgle.
The ideal professor Of English
literature ought to be on cali like a
country doctor and have at his door
way a day and night bell.
Probably the greatest service
which George Pierce Baker has per-
formed is the conviction which he
has loosed that the drama is liv-

TINE schools and colleges, think,
Il are prone to present literature
as something which f1ourishes
through the centuries and then
came TO an abrupt halt many years
ago. In few classroons will anybody
get the notion that great men walk
the world today and set down words
worthy to be heard.
Instead of this enlivening fact, the
young men and the young women
are taught that writing, like Chinese
pottery, is an art which has been
lost.
IN the lecture halls there comes
to the listener a fear and foreboding
that the thing never can happen
again. Poetry is the property OF
dead men. Fielding created the
novel which famed up and then
subsidized.
Of course, this manner of instruc-
ton offers certain solace to the
men who sit in the high and en-
dowed chairs. After a professor has
learned his subject he may lean
back and take his ease.
Over and over again, year after
year, he may reach into a vest
pocket and dangle his crystals be-
fore the class, and in the autumn
out will come these same clear, hard
qualifications of knowledge, so that
others may learn and go out into
the world equipped with the Or
dained facts and names.

I would also speak of Cabell and
Lardner and Hemingway.
Most of our collegiate education is
still Christian, in semblance at least,
and that creates a curious paradox
The students go to the chapel and
there they hear that the greatest
man who lived in the world will
surely come again.
And from the chapel they march
to lecture hall where they are told
that Shakespeare lived and died and
there can never be another.

MOODY SIGNS
CITRUS BILL
New Law Will Require An
Inspection of All Fruit
Entering Texas

AUSTIN. April 2.-(P)-USing the
blue pencil on bills appropriatlng
money to pay emergency and mis-
cellaneous claims Of the peniten-
tiar yssytem and for departmental
emergencies, Governor Moody to-
day filed 25 bills with the secre-
tary of state, some of which he
approved and others Of which be-
came law without his signature.
He allowed the bill permitting
creation of Junior colleges in IN
dependent school districts with
S12,0O0,000 taxable values to become
law without his signature.
He did not file either the Wirtz
anti-bolter bill or the Sunday NOV
ing picture measure He indicated
he would veto the Wirtz bill.
He said it is likely he would file
the remaining bills during the day.
The governor signed the bill pro-
hibiting the sale of overripe or
premature citrus fruit, but vetoed
from it an appropriation Of $4,000
for each of the two years of the
next biennium to put it into ef-
feet, explaining this could be taken
care of in the general appropria-
ton bills. Under terms of the
measure citrus fruit must be in
Spected and approved plior to
shipment into or from Texas.

DALLAS VOTING
BOXES GUARDED
Feeling Aroused During
Campaign Believed
Cause of Act

DALLAS, Tex, April 2.-(P-
Thirty-one Of Dallas so voting boxes
were garded by police as voters bal
loted today in a municipal election.
The early vote was light despite
ideal weather.
Police did not explain the reason
for guarding boxes, although they
said it was the first time police in
advance were assigned to such duty.
1t was estimated that there were
1000 less poll taxes in the city this
year than last, and this was pointed
to by politicians as one reason for
the light vote prediction. They also
said the voters did not show great
excitement in the political cam
paign. t---
A mayor and five commissioners
will be chosen. Despite the fact
that comparatively little interest
was exhibited in the campaign by
the electorate, candidates themselves
and newspapers were unusually acri-
monious in discussions Of issues, and
considerable feeling was aroused
among adherents of various aspir-
ants to the offices.
