ANY OF the public lands of the
state, including lands held in trust
for any purpose, may be exchanged

swamp lands only by public sale. Such
abrogation and the consequent provision
for exchange Of lands In pursuance OF
legislative enactment authorized by the
proposed amendment will not impair o.
diminish the trust funds Of the state arts
Ing from the sale Of school and swamr

Pursuant to the authority granted ~
this section the Iegisla ture in 1881 -.
creased the number of associate justices
to four.
II amended as proposed. this section will
read as follows:
1.-THE supreme court shall consist
of one chief justice and six associate
justices It shall have original juris-
diction in such remedial cases as may
be prescribed by law. and appellate
jurisdiction in all cases. both In law
and equity. but there shall be no trial
by jury in said court. 1t shall hold
one or more terms In each year. as
the legislature may direct. at the
seat of government. and the legisla-
ture may provide. by q two thirds
vote. that one term in each year shall
be held in each or any judicial dis
trict. 1t shall be the duty of such
court to appoint q reporter of its de-
cisions. There shall be chosen. by
the qualified electors Of the state,
shall hold his office for the term of
four years. and until his successor is
duly elected and qualified; and the
judges Of the supreme court. or q
power to fill any vacancy in the Of
fee of clerk of the supreme court
until an election can be regularly
had"
The Purpose Of the Proposed Amendment:
The supreme court, as now organized
under the constitution, consists Of chief
justice, and four associate justices, al
elected by the people. In 1918, In order
to take care Of the Increasing business Of
the court, the legislature passed a law
providing for the appointment Of two
commissioners to assist the court In the
performance Of Its duties. The act un.
der which these commissioners are ap.
pointed provides that each shall receive
the same compensation as a justice OF
the supreme court, and also provides that
nv 6rH 49, 90 h.
number OF associate Justices shall be in.
creased to six the office OF commissions
shall without further act be abolished.
In practice the commissioners sit AZ
members Of the court, hear arguments.
read briefs, take part In discussions,
work as the regular Justices, but they
have no vote In determining the final de.
cisions OF the court. The legislature can.
not give the commissioners voice in the
decisions OF the court, since the organ
ization OF the court 10 governed by the
constitution.
The purpose Of the proposed amend.
ment 10 to provide for the election Of two
more associate justices with full author
ity as members OF the court, to take the
place OF the present two commissioners
who will then cease to hold office.
The Effect Of the Proposed Amendment:
The effect Of the proposed amendment
II adopted. will be to provide for the cleo.
tion Of two more associate Justices Of the
supreme court with full authority a.
members OF the court, replacing the IRE.

The Diseases of Civilization

PatlentS suffering from mental and nervous dis
eases in American hospitals today outnunlber those
afflicted with all other forms of disease by ratio of
six to five. Such is the startling information con-
tanned in calm and measured address by the dis
tinguished physician Dr. Haven Emerson, at the ded-
cation Of the Institute of Mental Hygiene In
Philadelphia DR.. Emerson proceeded to comment
further these diseases Of modern urban industrial
civilization:
eve creating conditions as unbearable for hu-
beings in peace as the conditions which existed
in front line trenches during the World war Much
Of the wreckage of mind and nerve today is due to
fear which is induced in no small degree by unem-
poyment by depression, by the sudden realization
people capable OF working for their living that they
have no means Of support that there no place for
them in this vaunted modern civilization"
These challenging facts bear very directly on the
whole notion OF human progress and the increase of
human well-being. Science, applied in the field of
preventive and curative medicine has enabled us to
eliminate or combat the older forms of disease.
Science applied TO modern technology, has Gre
ated industrial and urban life This begets a great
crop of new diseases much more difficult to check
and handle than the old physical disorders.
We give New York a pure water supply and thus

create industrial and living conditions in the same
metropolitan center which produce mental and nervous
diseases that outnumber all other types of Ills
Is this progress?
Mental hygiene, which is the science of mans adj
justment to life conditions, will do much to help off,

More Germs of Civil War

We wrote an editorial a few weeks back under the
head Of The Germs of Civil War" It stated that
II the fanatics both sides Of the prohibition ques
ton continued 10 oppose reasonable and practicable
solution Of the liquor question, stood in very real
danger Of repetition Of the events of 1851 when
drifted into civil war over the slavery issue.
Many drys exploded over this suggestion. They
denounced the editorial in vigorous terms an
aarmist bugaboo. Some accused us of dragging red
herring across the trail OF law enforcement. Now
great meeting of drys in Boston comes forward to
prove the point a United Press dispatch thus
describes the sentiment at this gathering:
a Willingness to go 10 if necessary, TO enforce
prohibition was voiced by than 1000 drys at
meeting here last night.
Tremendous applause greeted the declaration Of
the Rev Dr. William Bartlett of Chicago, that if it
means civil war to uphold prohibition. what better
cause is there2
and when the speaker asked. Are you willing to

enthusiastic applause and enthusiastic shouts of Yes

Cuban Dictatorship

Cuba's one-day general strike follows long reign
Of Fascist terror by ths Machado dictatorship. The
facts of that terror have been established by investi-
gators Of the American Federation OF Labor and other
American and foreign observers who nonpartisan
50 far as Cuban internal politics is concerned.
Machados latest stunt is an order dissolyng labor
unions because OF alleged connection with Moscow.
This Is an old and transparent rlse of reactonary
dictators everywhere but unfortunately there is not
much left OF q Cuban labor movement which can be
DESTROYED by Machado-hs regime long since has
killed or driven into exile most OF the union leaders.
Considering the terror it is remarkable that all the
Cuban labor organizations-with the exception of pub
JIG utility and railway workers who stayed the job
fer public service reasons-dared to ion the general
strike Yesterday
OF course the Cuban government does not stop with
victimzng labor It also is laWlesS toward American
citizens Refusal Of Machado 10 settle the Barlow
property claims despite Cuban court DEGREES and
United States senate intervention, is notorious case
in point.
And Cuba. it viii be recalled is a protectorate
where the United States has a treaty obligation to
guarantee protection Of life. property and liberty. But
instead of the United States interfering in Cuba to
permit the pledged representative government, Ma
chado interferes n American domestic affairs through
q paid sugar lobby.
Why the Washington government continues to sup
port The Machado dictatorship question no Official
will answer, and no one else can.

BACH'S BIRTH

IN March 81, 1886, Johann Sc
~ bastian Bach, called one Of the
greatest masters of the co1trapun-
tai school of music, was born at
Eisnact. Germany.
Brought up in household ira
ditionally musical, young Bach was
prepared for his career. At the age
Of IS he was sent away to school
to study the organ.
Here he built the foundation
which later enabled him to be called
not only one Of the greatest mas
ters in organ composition, but also
one of the greatest masters in or
gan playing.
In 1928 Bach became choirmaSter
at the school of st. Thomas In Leip-
zig. Throughout his long service
here he constantly was bounded by
the town council, on the charge
that he was inefficient and slack.
Although Bach now is declared
to be one Of the leading opponents
of the new nelodic style, little in
terest was shown in him at the
time Of his death.
An entire century elapsed, in fact,
before Mendelssotln began his pro-
paganda to stimulate an interest In
the great master.

REASON By F fERBfs

XXTE made great mistake when We reduced the
" debts Of these European nations before the
holding Of this naval conference for if had gone
to London with the club Of world creditor, could
have said to Great Britain, France and Italy: We
cut down your debts only when you cut down your
naves.
But failed to DO it and the bankrupts of yester-
day are the big navy shouters Of today
N II seems we have compromised with Japan by
giving Japan the naval increase she demanded, her
demand meaning that she intends to do what she
pleases. insofar as force can put it across
Her defensive needs are no less than ever, since
Germany and Russia no longer threaten her and she
need fear nobody else.
I TNCLE SAM could have brought this whole thing
~ to a head at London had our commissioners been
empowered TO say: We will reduce our navy ship
for ship With all of you but il you won't reduce then
We will proceed to build the greatest navy in the
world, we have the money to do it,
That declaration would have brought the daying
brothers to their milk
Italy threatens TO turn her eyes eastward for
future friends, if France does not yield to her de-
mands for naval equality
What delightful future that would be-rtalys
clipping with Russia and Turkey!
Such an arrangement would last about fifteen min
utes. for Stain and Renal Pasha are Mussonis
themselves.
It would have been a good thing if Literary Digest
had postponed the taking Of its wet and dry poll
until the Canadian government could have voted on
the proposition of stopping the importation of booze
into the United States.
If the poll goes wet you will find Canadians citing
that fact reason why the booze should continue
TO flow.
CENATOR BORAH makes a mistake not to accept
- the last 500 salary raise which gave senators
and representatives $4,000 year, for can't live
decenty il Washington on one cent less.
If our senators were paid according to what their
services are worth some would receive much while
others would have to sell few pencils the side.
This friendly loan" of 100000 which Doheny
made to Fail when Fall gave him those valuable oil

SCIENCE
Millions Needed to Finance
Publication Program Of
American Chemical Society.
BY DAVID DIETZ

MO better proof Of the wide
~ spread ranifcations OF modern
scientific research and its in
fuence upon the world of today
could be found than the state
ment of the secretary OF the Amer
lean Chemical Society that an en-
dowment of several million dollars
is needed to finance the society s
publication program.
Bear in mind that this great en-
dowment is not sought to prosecute
scientific research, but merely to
finance the publication of scientific
research, particularly to keep going
the publication known as Chemicsl
Abstracts.
Chemical Abstracts is a digest o.
the worlds chemical publications
Fifteen hundred journals-Ameri-
can, British, French, German, ia
paneSe, Russian, Chinese and many
others-are checked each month by
an army of abstractors, chemists in
all parts of the country.
They prepare summaries or d.
gests Of important articles for
Chemical Abstracts.
Such a publication as Chem
ical Abstracts serves to illustrate two
things about science. First Of all
it's international character. And,
second, its gigantic complexity.
The first is nothing new. The
second is a twentieth century devel-
Opment.

Prohibition Blamed

T IKE many others, DR.. Hoffman
A. believes that prohibition has
increased crime in this country.
BY common consent" he says,
the enforcement Of prohibition has
brought into existence an organiza-
ton of crime and criminals such
as no other country on the face OF
the globe ever has known"
One can agree with all that and
still realize that there are other fac
tors to be reck0ned with because our
crime record was not only worse
than that Of England, but worse
than that of any other civilized
country before prohibition came in
to existence.
Put any construction you like on
it. and the situation in America
still is a mystery.
BY comparison, we are the most
prosperous people on earth, get more
for our work, have more cash with
which to satisfy our desires, and
more leisure in which to do what
We like.
We consider ourselves rather hard
hit because Of the present shortage
OF work, but the proportion of un-
employment, in this country today
is not as great as it has l. cen in
England ever since the war.
Yet England finds it possible TO
tear down prisons, while we face the
necessity Of charging them.

Children Differ in Learning to Talk

mental difference between the lives
of French and American children.
Study in the language is partic-
ularly important since it forms the
basis of practically all mental tests.
The relationship between language
and the mental age of the child is
as close as the relationship between
its language and its actual age in
years.
Feeble minded children invariably
are retarded in their development Of
vocabulary and ability to speak.
practically all investigators have
found that girls learn to talk earlier
than boys and to better advantage.
Furthermore, the children of fam
lies that are well-to-do and edu-
Gated learn to talk earlier and to
better advantage than do those of
the laboring and what sometimes
are called the lower classes.

Progress

TN the old days, however, it was
4 possible for man to be an
authority in a half dozen fields OF
science and it was possible for him
to keep track without much diff
ficulty of everything that went or
in those fields.
The rapid growth of scientific re-
search in the twentieth century
with its consequent splitting Of the
field into narrower and narrower
specialties, has put an end to that
situation.
1t is only with the aid Of the army
Of contributors to such publication
as Chemical Abstracts that the
average chemist can keep abreast
of the advances in the world OF
chemistry.
It is highly important that each
research worker keep abreast Of the
progress of others For great al
vances rarely are the work OF one
man. They are usually the cul-
mination of a long series Of con-
tributiOns. frequently each from ar
other country.
