Ma Is Back Again

MA FERGUSON former cover

impeached governor, running be-
cause her husband can't, is out In
front once more, just to show how
confused the situation really Is. Her
opponent will be r. S. Sterling, by
product of the great prosperity that
has come to the Lone Star state
through oil. Just another incident
in the rapidly forming conflict be-
tween old-fashioned politics and
new-fashioned business.

if it would not be just as we'll to fan
back on the idea Of merely trying to
stop the thing.

SAYS:

/ O&A - -
The Democrats Appear to
Have a Chance in 1882,
but They'll Have to Dis
play More Horse Sense
Than They Have IN Recent
Years to WIN.
COLLECTION of Senator Fess as
~ chairman Of the Republican ma
tional committee will be taken gen.
orally to mean that the Hoover ad-
ministration has decided to throw
in its lot with the old guard. In
this. respect, Fess' appointment Is IN
line with many preceding events.
However kindly President Hoover
may have felt toward the noeral
elements within his party, and how
ever earnestly he may have trleo 70
bring about an understanding pc
tween them and the CONSERVATIVES,
the last two years have RESUMED III
nothing so distinctly as widening
of the rift.
Nor is the blame wholly on one
side. More than once, liberals nave
gone out of their way to oppose the
Hoover administration and whether
they intended tc make compro-
mise impossible, they have JUST
about succeeded.
= =
4 S Chairman Tess says, President
N Hoover probably will be renom-
mated in 1892. But the stage seems
set for another belt, and, OF course,
another chance for the Democrats.
But the Democrats will have to dis
play more sense than they have IN
recent years to make anything OF It.
At present, they are about as bad
" split as the Republicans-half
wet, half dry, half liberal and half
conservative.
Worse than that, they have no
impressive leader like Wilson TO trot
forward, as they did in 1912.

MIR. TESS SAYS THE WORD

Having become c. 0. P. national committee chairman, Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio must say something He will say later that the party looks forward to nothing but victory, etc. Just now, however, he must attempt to underline a major issue for the congressional elections He did not reed 10 think long about it; ill fact the thought came like lightning flash. The main issue before the voters, he says, will be the tariff.
 According 10 A1r. Fess the flaw ley-Smoot tariff law will be voted upon favorably by the vast majority of the protcction-m minded American people; and presumably he thinks the tariff will be discussed prior to the voting, as is the practice regard ing vital issues.
 At least, Mir. less hopes the tariff will be discussed.
 AS for prohibition-according to Mir, Fess-that topic will scarcely gain much in general talk
 Al least. Mir Fess, as dry as tho Anti-saloon League. hopes it won't

OBJECT OF XONING

Various folk having shops in eel .ars. garages or basements in resi- dence districts are discovering, through the medium q the building inspector, that the zoning law does not allow them provided they were established since 1925. when zoning went into effect. And they are dis covering 8 new meaning 10 the term.
 The object Of zonlng regulations is to protect residence property in such districts from being reduced in value by business property, Owners Of shops in such districts, when com- ing under the zoning law, will not as rule speak in favor Of the law; nut residence owners will favor it. until they. too, decide 10 add d shop Of some kind 10 the premises.
 Fortunately the zoning law is elastic. when residence property reaches the twilight zone between residence and business, it is the first step toward zoning it for business. Those steps can then be taken-but not before.
 A zoning law is worthless un- less Il is enforced.

MORE, STREET WORK
 ADVISABLE

It has been q good year for street improvements. Not only are there many streets that have needed re- pairs, but there has been large reservoir Of outdoor laborers. whom rhe city g forced with the likelihood of supporting anyway, who could bo utilized upon this type of work.
 It is 2n axiom ot economics that large public works should be carried out during periods oc depression. This is done in all nations, and the suggestion came from President Hoover himself last spring.
 One feels that more Of this work could haze been done in New Brit ain this summer. Residents Of one street. indeed. have filed petition with the town clerk calling atten- ton 10 the condition Of their thor oughfare. Such petitions should not be necessary at such a time. The city should be on it's toes to repair the streets needing if.
 Nothing appeals to citizens so much as street Sepair work, It is something they can see and they are rot slow in approaching it. The easiest way for an administration to gain widespread approval is 10 let itself be judged by the amount Of street work done

4 HANGING AND MORE MURDER

They led a man to his doom in ,he hangman's chambers. Pleas for mercy, lenlency and change 0 life imprisonment did not avail The time-honored claim of insanity was lost upon deaf ears. Lorenz paid the price. The state again enunciated the doctrine of a life for a life"
 Scarcely a day before this took place one Stanley Smith Bogue, of Groton, stood charged with murder lng woman and a man. under cir cumstances Of the eternal triangle.
 Bogue probably had read in the papers about Lorenz. Maybe he didn't even sympachizo with his ef- forts to avoid the moose.
 AS a deterrent, therefore. the fate of Lorenz was a flat failure in the possible future Of Boeue.
 It was the same in the case of Lorenz and others who had frod hi: way before him.

IHI, HOTEL. BIZ

4 dispatch the other day chroni- cIed the sad event that the PhladeI, phia lodge of Elks have asked for q voluntary petition in bankruptcy. The reason: The Philadelphia EIAs like their brethren in Boston, con- srructed 8 large hotel during piping times and now find that the hotel business has been shot 10 pieces.
 Regardless Of how bad the hotcD business is, those who constructed large hotels during recent years must continue paying the carrying costs. These costs must come iron, those hiring rooms. A certain per centage must be filled 10 foot the bills.
 "Variety." the thcatrical weekly. printed a story the other week show ing that n per cent Of the space Of the New York hotels is "unoc- cupied," and named nGmber Of well known hostelries which arc in hands Of receivers. T. also mentioned the interesting item that theatrical people owe the New York hotels S500,o0o in back room rent with small chance that the money will b' paidSin hurry. some Of the hotels it was hinted. carry the theatcicaI people along in order to make tne hostelries look busy.
 IL is not an easy matter 10 deter mine why hotels should suffer moro than most other lines during slack times. one would naturally think that the type Of citizens who patron ize high class hotels would not |. set back financially 10 the extent 0. failing 10 continue such patronage t IS more likely that at least part of the hotel troubles lie in the hug, increase Of the buildings which tool place during the last half dozen years
 As Variety points out, in spite ot the jam in the hotel business. a least two huge new ones are going up in downtown New York.
 Looks ike an overproduction ir hotel rooms.

WOODCOCK'S PROMISES

Amos W. W.

Dry agents, he adds will be roulded into the best train a group of officers in the world. .
 This is covering much territory. but no one will object to the attempt tc improve intolerable conditions
 It is to be hoped, too, that such dry agents who continue 10 yield to the impulse to shoot first and inves- tigate afterwards will be held 10 some of this strict accounta bility by not being tried in the usual federal court.

TIME AND SPACE LINKED

New York, Aug. 2 tF}-Space and time are linked in theory Of hear ing advanced in 3. report to the Acoustical Society Of America by it's president. Dr. Harvey Fletcher.
 In hearing, some scientists have held that time of the vibrations was the important factor. Others have considered the pattern the sound waves mike in space as the distin- gushing difference between sounds.
 Some sound waves are long and smooth: others crowded together Dr. Fletcher shows how bosh the time and space compo nCnts are impressed on the mem hrane of the inner car and con cludes that 'space-time" 'is the way to account for the effects.

 And nothing helps to improve their technic so much as public ap- preciation.
 To the boy who gave the alarm should go unstinted praise. He acted bravely in what appeared to be a dire emergency.
 The evidence in the case was not more than justifying a conviction on breach of the peace against four of the men, however. This minor re- suit Il police court does not change the crediit that goes to the police and the hoy for their quick action.

Patrolman Massey is of the same inclination. The way they handled the situation at Kelsey and Stanley streets deserves unstinted commend ation.

 Australia's Wool Output

Canberra. Australia, Aug. l2 P>- A council of scientific and industrial research appointed by the Australian federal government has discovered protein preparation which. fed 10 sheep, substantially increases their wool yield.
 When wool fell in price the eco- homie effect to Australia was alarm ing and the country was faced with the necessity of producing much more wool IL is predicted that the new protein sheep feed will solve the problem.
 Fed to 100 sheep over a long per iod as an experiment the prapa- ration increased the fieeces by an average of % ounces and improved sheeps' physical condition.

ONLY \ YEAR AGO

Too much psychological pessimism raigns in some circles at this mo mont.
 It is IS difficult for some observ- CTS 10 maintain an equilibrium of sanity in contemplating the business situation as it was for Wall Street to maintain sanity just year ago.
 At that time nothing could stop the speculative mania, everything was justified, everything was ex- pIained in terms Of boost and boom.
 Today 1t is just the reverse-in the minds of the croakers'
 The pendulum may have swung ir the other direction; but there $ such q thing IS 1t swinging too far. Re ferrjng particularly to the mental pendulum and the mental pabulum that goes with it.
 What were they doing last August? The Boston Herald point edly cited the ridiculous propaganda of last August in this manner:
 Whereas untavorable inferenccs are now drawn from almost every thing in the days news, whatever happened at the btginning Of last August was happening for the best. Brokers loans passed tho six billion mark: it was a sign Of impre gnahlr strength in the credit situation. Call money went 10 12 per cent and col lateral time loans to 2; it showed what the market could afford 10 pay. The reserve bank rate went up 10 the highest since 142l that mere ly illustrated the reserve board $ helplessncss. and an exceptionally wild rise of prices on tho stock eH- change was the comment on the news.
 Not tho least curious part of that episode was the fact. much better recognized now than then, that trade reaction was al that moment already beginning. But the speculative mar let's mood was so obstinate, the mo- mentum of the speculation itself so great. that nothing seemed capable of standing in the way Of l.. II is quite possibl" that the prevalent mood Of pessimism will go equally beyond reasonable bounds, That the turn from the present discouraglnS situation will come with q good deal Of suddenness IS as probable as tha, 1t will come a the moment when Wall street has given up expecting it,

AMERICAN STABILITY

Jealousy between different sec tions of the Union. it was thought during the early days Of the Repub- lie. would prevent the nation from lasting, and that it would crack asunder. Professor Albert Bushnell Hart Harvard historian, taking up some Of these early forebodings in an article in Current History 15Q years after the birth Of the Repub- lie, is well able 10 point out how It came about that the early pessi- misls erred in their deducuons. And he gives 8 large need of credit to the system Of having two senators from each state regardless of size,
 True, the nation once cid nearly fly asunder, when the question of slavery could not he settled without recourse 10 war. The four-yoar con- nict settled the point, left in abey- ance by the founders. that states did not have the right 10 socede.
 Professor Hart gives credit for the stability under the Constitution to the federal system whereby one house Of Congress IS composed Of representatives elected upon basis Of population while the other house consists of two senators from each state, regardless Of size or population. l. must be noted in passing that the latter systcm-ap- picable Of course in the Senate has been freely criticized in some circles as undemocratc. as giving q small state like Nevada as much po~er AS large populous states like New York or Pennsylvania.
 Professor Hart's Illuminating com ment on this point is that because members from group of 95 states ID the Senate. representing an aggre- gate population Of 2o.ooo.ooo. can outvore the remaining states with q e opulauon of 2G.5oo,0oo that the more populous states are prevented from creating condition whereby inc minor states would be sggrieved on any question Of sectional import. On the other hand, the fact that in the House of Representatives based on popu.a.lon. the Is most populous states coald st ah times if united out,ore the representatives Of the other s states. produces a possibih- " just reverse from that in the Scn- ate. Thus thore IS an effective "check and balance" that worhs for the ad- vantage of tho smaller states s well! as for the 'arcor
 Sometimes it happens, of course. that inc system results In turning congress into 2 verirable debating society between the two branches. with the likelihood that a piece Of important legislation is delayed, but when one considers the manifest ad- vantages in the realm Of stability and that anifjcauon Of all the states  mo 2 whole no part of which car effectively or indefinitely force it's wlI. upon any other part, We must once again doff our heads 10 the wisdom of the Founders who fore saw the uture with unerring skill.
