She Pays to Conquer

AS primary hostess, Ruth Hanna Mccormick is
no piker The campaign she threw cost somewhat
over quarter million dollars out of her pocket
without counting the side shows conducted by friendly
organizations for her.
Her unsuccessful opponent for the Republican
nomination in the Illinois senatorial primary, Sena-
tor Deneen, spent less than $4,000 These were the
figures given by the candidates themselves to the sem
ate committee Thursday.
Since the senate once censured Newberry for
spending less than half the Mccormick figure, the
her now.
She doesn't think she has done anything wrong
and makes great point of the fact that it mostly
her own money, rather than contributions that she
spent Just what that has to do with it seems some
what obscure.
Speaking in general terms and subject to correc-
tion would hazard the guess that there are other
women in Illinois, not to mention men, who have as
much right to for the senate as Mrs. Mccormick
who haven't that quarter million to blow on primary
and a similar added amount to spend election
Such being the case, Wanted American equality
of political opportunity seems a bit sour
One thing to be said for this lady politician how
She frankly urges the necessity of corrective
legislation.
4 regard this inquiry as extremely important in
that it offers basis for legislation which would pro-
vide specific regulation of expenditures in primary
campaigns" she testified. "A law is needed both in
the public interest and in justice to the candidates
themselves"

Sex Equality

The opportunity Omar longed for-and most of us
with hinl-of remaking this sorry scheme of things
somewhat nearer to the hearts desire, has come in
with the task just begun at The Hague of writ
ing code of law for the world.
This is the first time in history that world gov
ernments have met for such a purpose. There is no
limit to the things they might accomplish.
SO it is disappointing to have the first session
adopt convention nationality that fixes one code
for and another less desirable code for women.
lift there is thing that distinguishes this era
from the past is the rapid rejection of artificial re-
straints and disabilities imposed on women. To en-
body pointless determinations against this group
citizens in international law where they surely must
remain for many years, is singuarly stupid thing
to do.
The United States delegation at The Hague con-
ference voted against the nationality convention and
this week the house foreign affairs committee will
consider resolution indorsing its stand and express
ing unwingness of congress to approve Article of
the code of international law unless is rewritten n
conformity with the principle of equality
Building for the future, we must reject wornout
bricks from the past

Punish Treason

Due to the watchfulness of The Times,
very serious charges have been placed
against election officials of one precinct.
The Times relieves that election irregu-
larities of any kind are tantamount to
treason.
An honest ballot in primaries or in cleo
,ons, is the one safeguard of democracy.
Very fortunately, two Of the enforcement
gencies of the county, whether successful
+ not in their aspirations, are still in power.
lore fortunately, there is federal question
lvolved because there are candidates for a
,~jeral office.
Between now and November these local
officials, the prosecutor and the criminal
Judge, will have ample opportunity to investl-
gate every suspicion Of fraud.
Their sincerity will be largely deter
mined, if it should be found that they are
the nominees of their party, on their sue
cess in placing in jail every traitor who has
challenged the right of self-government by
any tampering with the ballot.
The issue is plain and clear.
Will indianapolis be governed by stub
pencil or by the solemn judgment of its citi-
zens?
The Times. did not believe that there
was any issue strong or clear enough IN
the primary to call upon the citizens to de-
fend its free institutions. 1t saw no marked
difference between candidates who labeled
themselves foes of Coffinism and friends Of
Coffinism in the Republican ranks
Surely Prosecutor Stark and Judge Col
Inns will make the most of magnificent OPP
portunity

OF course we al could go without shoes, if we had
TO- And that is about the only way the consumer can
beat the game if the Grundy tariff steal becomes
law Otherwise. by the time pay for shoes for the
baby and the rest of the family there won't be much
money left to buy other clothing
Perhaps we should not grumbe. Didn't Washing
tons soldiers march with bare and bleeding feet over
the ice at Valley Forge? Should be less patriotic?
Obviously the Republican party not give the tarih
proheers billion dollars year unless we are willing
to make sacrifices for the cause"
To be sure these additional sacrifices will be rather
hard on the millions Of unemployed and part-tme en-
ployed and on those other millions who barely make
ends meet even when there is no tariff on shoes
One of the bast-krown national shoe manufacturers
estimates that the proposed 20 per cent ad vaorem
arif will boost the consumers shoe bill $l5OOOOOOO
vear-and that is a very conservative estimate
Not of course that the manufacturers need the in
crease: their profits already large The Interna-
tional shoe Company largest in the country in addi-
ton to paving heavy regular dividends and in one
year 300 per cent stock dividend, increased its sur
plus from S3470oO0O in 1921 to S883250OO in 1929
and all with tariff on shoes.
That $780, 900 increase in the national shoe bill
means that the average family will pay $3.50 more
The poor with larger numbers of children, will pay
from So to $40 more for each family. And that add
tional amount is just about what the father and
mother together had left for their shoes last year.
there will be no money for the fathers and mothers
of poor families if this bill becomes law.
Even if one or two of the children of the family
die and the working man takes the money or their
shoes to get pair for himself he will find that So
shoes will cost him Sc under the tariff.
What difference does that make to the well-shod
and we-fed representatives and senator's who vote to
take shoes of the Tree list and put the 20 per cent
tariff list? It doesn't make any difference to them.
Not now that is.
But their time is coming Wait till the consumers
of the country go to the polls and get whack at
them.
For the benefit of the politicians who think they
can get away with this tariff steal and for the COM
fort of working people who are their victims, want
to quote the rule of the Republican high priest James
G Blaine When the hogs had their feet in the Nc
Kinley bill trough the shrewd Blaine made them leave
shoes on the free list Here his warning:
1.-THE only effect of a shoe tariff would be to project
the Republican party into speedy retirement"

Canned Milk Safe and Nourishing

Perez reports that powdered whole
cows milk has been exceedingly
satisfactory for infant feeding under
the conditions that exist.
In most instances the preparation
of the formula for the baby is en-
trusted to the mothers, grandmoth-
erS, or caretakers, many of whom
can not read.
Notwithstanding this fact, the
milk seems to have served every
purpose satisfactorily. The pow
dered form can be transported any
where.
There is little, if any, danger OF
bacterial contamination. There is
no chance of feeding sour milk and
the expense of keeping fresh or
canned milk on ice is entirely
avoided.
Thus modern industry plays its
part in safeguarding human life in
the tropics.

Don't Overlook FadS

XKTE are so infatuated with the
w power of society to overcome
its difficulties and achieve salvation
through law that we forget the part
played by those changes that come
about as the result of innovation
and fad. During the last fifty years,
we have altered our system of light
ing completely, and what did con-
gress or the state legislature have
to do with it?
So, too, we have altered our
transportation system completely,
and again, what did congress, or
the state legislature have to do with
it?
Considering what has, happened
to them since 1895, the Sblacksmiths
could put up an argument that
would break the heart of Pharaoh,
but what can congress, or the state
legislature, do about it?
For the first time in history, we
are up against the force of inventive
genius, and not only that but the
force of fashion as it can be directed
and controlled by a worldwide pub
Lefty system.
Within generation, the safety
razor has produced a whiskerless
race, while bobbed hair has changed
the character of two-thirds of the
barber shops, and what have these
things to do with the tariff, state
statutes, or foreign policy?

for providing it in various forms
which might undergo the tests Of
time and temperature.
Condensed milk, canned milk, and
powdered milk are a few of the ways
in which milk today is made avail
able for people all over the world.
Indeed, in many sections the
canned and powdered milks, the
evaporated and condensed milks are
preferred even to the fresh variety.
In a recent survey of the condi-
tons in the Philippine islands, DR..
J. R. Perez has pointed out that in
most of the cities, towns and bar

are no dairy farms and not even

Since the beginning of the Amer
lean occupation, canned milk of diff
ferent brands from the United
States has become a common house
hold commodity throughout the
Philippine islands.

Roundabout Grief

TOING back to the cotton stu
NJ alton, especially in England, is
it not disturbing to think that an
Indian preacher has den1oralized
the trade by turning away millions
of customers?
Those customers we're poverty
stricken, to be sure, and seldom
bought more than a yard or two at
time, but what they lacked flnan-
cially they made up in numbers.

not only reads his scientific month
ly and the advertising pages of his
favorite magazine, but the news as

He realizes that incidents which
appear to have no bearing on his
particular field of endeavor may
strike it a death blow in some
roundabout way.
What wheat farmer thought that
his pocket was being picked when
somebody suggested that so much
fat could be taken off in so many
days by following such and such
diet?
What textile mill operator saw
bankruptcy ahead when, in the ex-
cess of war enthusiasm, women be-
gan to shorten and narrow their
dresses?

Il Would Resign"

The unitness of John j. Parker to sit on the
United States supreme court bench has been estab-
lshed clearly by his prejudices as lower judge and
by his lack of legal eminence. 1t had been assumed
BIZ his opponents that he was sincere and of average
legal ability It was with great deal Of surprise,
therefore that last week we came upon the record OF
the so-called harness war fraud which Parker
prosecuted as an assistant encouragement under
Daugherty.
The action of the trial judge in instructing an
acouittaI verdict and his expression OF decided
amazement to discover that the government proSecu
ton had in its possession documents tending to prove
the innocence of those was trying to convict seemed
to our lay mind to raise serious question OF Parkers

Prosperity on Thin Ice

T7HE wise business man OF today

vorite magazine.
Without losing any respect for the
proverbial cycle, about which eco
nornic experts forever are talking
he realizes that some kid with a
bright idea out in Arizona may put
his particular enterprise out of COM
mission.
Worse than that, he realizes that
some social leader, with an idea
which is not even bright can raise a
similar amount of cain by catching
the popular fancy.
The fact that an intriguing slogan
or wiSecrack, can make millions of
people buy something they never
thought of buying before, is not an
unmiXed blessing. If it creates q
new industry on the one hand, it is
likely to spoil an old one on the
other, and in either case it suggests
that our boasted prosperity often
skates on mighty thin ice.

BRAHMS BIRTH

ON May 7, 1888, Johannes
~ Brahms, German composer, and
often called the last of the great
classical masters, was born at Ham
burg, Germany.
At the age of 10 he was placed
under the instruction Of Eduard
Marxsen, then the foremost musi-
clan in Hamburg. When Men
delssohn died, Marxsen said: "A
great master of music has passed
away, but a greater one will arise
in Brahms" Brahms was but Ia
years old at that time.
Six years later he became ac-
companist for the great Hunga-
rian violinist, Remenyi. At Got
tingen. while touring with Rem
enyi, Brahms attracted the atten-
ton of Joachim, another great
violinist, who later introduced him
to List and Schumann.
In 1861 Brahms went to Vienna
where he acquired high reputa-
ton, and held several important
musical posts.
After the appearance Of Brahms
first symphony a contemporary
musician originated the phrase OF
three great BIS" Bach, Beethoven
Brahns).
His compositions included foul
great symphonies which can be
compared only with the four great
est symphonies Of Beethoven, many
overtures, serenades and other or
chestra pieces and concertos.
