Capital Says Hail and FdreUeII to
Members of Distinguished Family

4SSSAA - S4 ~~~S~@ A~O -"
Hughes, Senior, Means
Loss of Son and Family
The return of Charles
Evans Hughes to Washing
ton as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court will mean
the loss to Capital society
Of his son and daughter-in-
law, the Solicitor General
and Mrs. Charles Evans
Hughes, jr.
Mr.. Hughes has an
nounced his intention Of re-
signing Immediately and,
while no date has been set
for their departure, the fam
lily will shortly remove their
Lars and Penates from
Washington to New York.
It is obvious that Mr..
Hughes could not remain in
his present office where he
would be obliged to argue
cases before his distin-
guished father. The tradi-
tions Of the Supreme Court
forbid it.
Known Here
Since their arrival in Wash
ington early last summer Mr..
and Mrs. Hughes have made a
host Of friends. They were,
of course, already well known
here as the retiring Solicitor
General grew up as a lad in
the shadow Of the Capitol. And
both were frequent visitors here
during the senior Mr.. Hughes
term Of service as Secretary Of
State.
Mrs. Hughes was, before her
marriage in 1914, Miss Marjorie
Bruce Stuart. The couple have
four children. The two elder
lads, Charles Evans, 3rd and
Henry Stuart, are in school and
the younger, both girls, are
Helen, age two, and a baby
daughter born last fall.
Welcome for Seniors -
The Capitals regret at losing
the Solicitor General and Mrs.
Hughes in no way tempers the
rejoicing at the return of the
seniors Of the name. Mrs.
Hughes, who is a grande dame
of the old school, was always
beloved and famed for her gra-
cious hospitality.
For several years past they
have been making their home
in New York, where the new
Chief Justice has been engaged
In the practice of law. It is un-
derstood that his son will take
over the major portion of his
business.
Vice Presidential
The Vice President, Mr.. Cur
tis is the guest in whose
honor former Senator and
Mrs. Rice w. Means will en-
tertain at dinner tonight at
the Mayflower.
Last evening Mrs. Sydney
Cloman entertained at dinner
for the Vice President and his
brother-in-law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs. Edward E. Gam.
Mrs. Cloman and her guest
Mrs. Henry Sturgis left today
for Palm Beach to be the
guests Of Mrs. Hope Slater
for a short while before going
to California. They will return

. The United States once was the land of the free.
II provided asylum for apostles of freedom from all
lands. It saved many from the gallows of the despot.
American Presidents even protected those who per-
sonally had insulted them.
A famous case was that Of Citizen" Genet, first
minister to the United States from republican France.
When George Washington refused to aid the French
in their war with England, Genet denounced Wash
ington as an old and broken-down w~eakling who
had sold out to the British. He even tried to fit out
p~riyateers in the United States to prey on British
commerce.
In the meantime, the revolution in France took
new French government demanded that Genet be ar
rested and returned to France. Washington knew
that it probably would mean death on the %guillotine
for Genet. Therefore, he refused to sign the extradi-
ton papers.
Today we have in our country one Arn1ando
Borghi. He is an anti Fascist political refugee who
fed to the United States to save his life. He has
been staying here some two years on a temporary
visitors permit.
He now has been ordered deported to italy, since
he did not enter as an immigrant. A detective in the
employ of immigration authorities recently tried to
arrest him at Cooper union in New York. A man was
shot in the excitement which followed. If he Is taken
back to Italy. Borghi either will be shot or will rot
in a prison.
Will Hoover act as did the Father OF His Country?
will he add further evidence to clinch the growing
suspicion that America no longer welcomes those flee
ing the wrath of tyrants?

A Blow at Militarism

Congress appears tired of Swashbuckling.
Ten years ago sponsors Of a universal consumption
bill presented their program to congress-. Under the
guise of a measure designed to eliminate war ~pro1teer-
ing, they asked congress to make the universal draft
automatically effective in time of war.
After ten years of hearings, debate and wire pull
ing the house has taken the sting out of the proposal
by It's refusal to appropriate funds for a national
commission Of inquiry. Senate progressives have
declared their determination to block even the egg
shell commission approved by the house.
Sponsors of the draft have abandoned their fight,
for representative j. M. Wainwright of New York,
former assistant secretary of war and introducer OF
the original resolution, has shattered for all time the
pretense that the bill was directed against treason
able profiteering.
Its real purpose, he explained in debate, was Ito
find a way to put into effect in time of war the So
called universal draft"
From the Democratic side, Representative Percy
e. Quin Of Mississippi assailed the militaristic cam
paign as one of "subterfuge and stealth"

ten years overdue,

Ask Them Now

Under the leadership Of the American
Legion a demand will be made on the next
legislature to provide free school books Tor
all pupils in the public schools.
The time to get action is before the can
didates are nominated. Those who favor
this plan should refuse to vote for any can
didate who does not make clear his attitude
or this important subject.
The cost of school books bears heavily on
those who can least afford it. The heads OF
large families are most frequently those OF
the wage-earning class. The change OF books
frequently adds to the cost. In many fam
lilies the cost is a real hardship.
That free books may be furnished under
present laws to those who show that they are
unable to pay creates a situation that is
brutal, rather than helpful. No child should
be put under a humiliation of this sort. Life
is harsh enough and children can be most
unkind to each other.
AS nearly as possible all children should
have an equal start. 1t would be fine if there
was an equality of clothing and food as well
as the equality of opportunity to learn. The
spirit of equality disappears all too soon.
Free school books for all children would
90 far to create this atmosphere and this
spirit. A republic, to endure, should be care
full to foster that spirit, rather than destroy
it. The state has an interest in the educa-
ton of all children, and the theory on which
public schools are established demands that
books be as free as the teaching and the
buildings.
In the northern part of the state the
movement for free books is making head
way. There will be opposition, of course,
Free schools were opposed in the beginning.
But they came and have justified their cost.
Whenever a candidate for the legisla-
ture seeks your vote, ask his stand on this
question. If you favor free books vote for
those who pledge their support. If you are
opposed you probably will have no difficulty
in iinding some one to represent your view.

A Hard Battle Faced


In attacking the Methodist board of temperance.
prohibition and public morals, Representative T1nk-
ham Of n Massachusetts, is going up against a powerful
organization. and a Republican organization at that,
II one may judge by the political color OF its advisory
bosrd. Tinkham himself is a Republican.
Following are the advisory board members Of the
board; Bishop James Cannon Jr.; Simeon D. FeSs.
the Rev. Thomas H. Lewis. Washington, q. c.;
7. J. B. Robinson, Iowa; Addison 7. Smith, Idaho;
John w. Summers. Washington Gtate).
All members except Bishop Cannon and Mr.. Lewis
are members of congress. Fess is senator from Ohio
and Republican whip of the senate. Hawley, Hoch.
Robinson. Smith and Summers are Republican mem
bers of the house Of representatives and Hawley is
chairman Of the powerful ways and means committee
Bishop william Fraser Mcdowell is president and
the Rev. Clarence True Wilson is general secretary
of what officially is designated as the Methodist Epis-
copaI church board Of temperance, prohibition and
public morals. and this official church body is housed
in a beautiful and costly building across the street
from the Capitol in Washington.
Since the death Of the late Wayne B. Wheeler,
the Anti-Saloon League is probably less powerful in
politics than the Methodist board. its most efficient
political leaders being Bishop Cannon and Clarence
True Wilson.
Every advisory member OF the board who also is
ofhciaIy connected with the federal government is

the way in which the mouth acts as
a medium of infection. Particles of
food lodging between the teeth serve
as a place and material in which
germs grow easily.
The germs are then swallowed or
even may be taken up by the blood
through weak portions in the gums.
In general, the mouth tends to keep
itself fairly free of virulent germs,
but in those Of lowered resistance
or infection of the mouth it may
serve as a source of germs for the
rest Of the body.
One of the most important steps
in the prevention of infection in re-
cent years has been the development
of sanitary methods of handling
food in its production.
Bread, cereals and many other
materials formerly handled careless
ly with the hands by butchers, bak-
ers and grocers are now developed
by a process in which the human
hand never reaches them, and are
sold in clean packages.

"EXtraneOuS Matters

"Extraneous matters is the phrase with which
the White House dismisses the serious charges raised
against the fitness of Judge John J. Parker, the
Hoover nominee for associate justice of the United
States supreme court. Now the opposition to Parker
may be mistaken or erroneous, though this news
paper is convinced it is neither. but whatever else
may be said about the Parker charges, they are not
extraneous.
Parker is charged on the basis of his yellow dog
injunction decision with being p~rejudiced against the
rights of labor. the largest class of citizens in the
population.
Parker is charged on the basis of gubernatorial
campaign speeches with prejudice against the con-
stitutional political rights Of the nations twelve mil
lion Negro citizens.
Parker is charged on the basis of his record as
a lawyer and a judge of being essentially a political
nominee, lacking in the intellectual distinction and
legal eminence required OF a member Of the most
powerful of all American institutions.
Any intelligent, must less fair. person will admit
that these charges go to the very heart of the ques-
ton whether Parker should have been named and
whether he shall be confirmed by the senate. There
is only one way. If any. to get around those charges
and that is to answer them fully and convincingly.
The American Federation of Labor today formally
requested the president to withdraw Parkers nomina-
ton. The National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. on whose board are many dis
tinguished and powerful leaders Of public opinion,
is officially pressing the fight against Parker.
It is somewhat surprising also that the White
House should deny the assertions of Republican party
managers in the senate that they asked Hoover to
withdraw Parker's name. Those party managers
make no bones about the reason for their opposition.
They fear that a heavy labor and Negro protest vote
in such states as Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky and West
Virginia may defeat the Republican party.

Road Amundsen, Great Polar
Explorer, Gaze HIS Life IN
Search for Stranded CreW.
BY DAVID DIETZ .

A N airplane sailed north, out
a over the fog-swept sea OF drift
ice that covers the Arctic waters. It
was June II, 1923. Six men were
aboard the plane.
Their leader vas a great, tall,
modern Viking, a Viking whose keen
blue eyes peered sharply beneath
bushy eyebrows like the watchful
eyes of an eagle, a Viking whose face
had been bronzed by the biting
winds of two polar regions.
The leader was Captain Road
Amundsen, at the time the only man
in the world who had reached both
the north and south poles. CAd-
miral Byrd since has duplicated the
feat).
AmundSen had started out in
search of the members of Mobiles
expedition, stranded on the Arctic
ice. Weeks elapsed. Then months.
Amundsen never was heard from
again.
I saw AundSen for the last time
in March, 1927. He then was plan
ming another expedition into the
Arctic, and I spent most of the day
with him looking at electric refrig-
orators. His idea vas that n could
be equipped with a motor which
would operate from storage bat
teries.
Carrying an ice box to the Arc
tic sounds very much like carrying
Goals to Newcastle. But Amundsen
pointed out that it would prove a
great convenience during the jour-
ney to and from the Arctic.
He also pointed out that while the
region of the north pole always was
covered with a sea of drift ice,
high temperatures were not uncom-
mon along the coasts beyond the
Arctic Circle.

THE TREASURES OF DARKNESS

THE TREASURES OF DARKNESS
Read Isaiah 45:1-7. Memory
Verse: at will give thee treasures Of
darkness" isaiah 45:3.)
MEDITATION
1.-The treasures Of darknessl" This
is a wonderful phrase to keep in
mind. To believe that darkness has
its treasures, is to rob darkness Of
it's gloom. The author OF the 139th
Psalm had no fear Of darkness.
Even the darkness hideth not from
Thee The night has its gifts to
the producing earth. Some discov-
cries may be made only in darkness.
Blessed are they that mourn" for
they shall see things hidden from
the Joyous. A dear friend sent this
message to me: Tell him that now
I know the meaning OF George
Matheson's lines, % love that wilt

discovery never will let go.
PRAYER
Thou hast promised, Lord, a
crown of life to him that over
cometh. Give US hearts to welcome
thy severer blessings and in them
find the clasp Of thy strong hand.
In darkness as well as in light hast
thou hidden treasures for our spir-
its. Amen.
