"POlitics!"

The President wishes to hasten aid for the
unemployed.
His notion of how to accomplish this is to fire
broadside charge of "politics!" at all members Of
congress whose ideas on the subject differ from his
We can think of nothing better calculated to cause
delay than the printed outburs handed to the press
by the President Tuesday. For, naturally the con-
gressmen now will take time to the President
time that might be used in doing the things he
wants done.
That this will happen seems inevitable But we
hope it doesn't We hope the congressman may over
look the Presidents i-advised attackeven his out
rageous misuse Of figures. BY that we refer to his
assertion that measures already introduced in con-
gress would increase his recommendations Tor the
fiscal year by $4,5OO,O0O,OOO.
This is meaningless figure that can be obtained
only by adding together all bills that ask Tor ap-
preparations The President, of course, knows that
when dozen bills each calling for $10000OOO0 are
introduced by a dozen different members to accom-
pish the same thing that only one such bill IS going
to get through The net threat to the treasury is
only 100000 OoO-not twelve times that amount
Yet it is figure obtained by the latter false as
sumption that the President uses when he talks about
S45oOC0OO0O.
still we trust congress will not be upset by the
Presidents petulance and that the business OF TAX
ing care of the present emergency may go forward
speedily.

Orange river" says DR.. Kunz. 'Dur-
ing 1868 several more were picked

After this beginning, for four
years the alluvial diamond industry

Late in 1870 and early in 1871
diamonds we're discovered in dry
diggings in several localities in the
neighborhood Of what now is
Kimberley.
I'm each case these deposits
proved to be very restricted in
area, of rounded or elliptical shape,
not more than a few hundred feet
in dimensions and Of considerable
depth, instead Of broad and shall
low as were the river diggings.
Furthermore, these dry diggings,
after working to a considerable
depth, changed in character, and
the friable yellow ground of the
top layers gradually gave way to
soft blue green called blue ground

diamonds were found in their orig
inal matrix, of yellow, soft blue,

THE other day we read in the paper where letter
written by Thomas Jefferson sold for $4,000 and
this struck as being about tragic proposition
we had encountered in many years reading and
will tell you why
Thomas Jefferson spent his last years in poverty,
poverty visited upon him by others in various ways.
When he left the White House he was worth
something like 100000 and he retired to his beloved
Monticello to live, as he thought, in peace.
But the people would not let him live in peace
They stormed his doors every day of the year. they
came from every class in America and from every
country under the sun.
They unending multitude and they came
to eat and sleep-and stare at Jefferson.
LIS establishment soon turned into one of the
Il l. greatest lodging houses west of the Allegheny
mountains, and frequently there fifty beds full
of visiting grafters, and Thomas Jefferson stood for
all this, because his was a boundless hospitality
Not only did they eat everything jefferson raised
on his estate; they ate more than the place would
produce and so Jefferson had to go out and buy food
for the wolves who came in endless line.
And they bothered him so that when he wanted
peace he had to go away to distant farm.
jefferson fed more people than any other Ameri-
citizen up to the time that Mr. Hoover served re-
freshments to the Belgians at the outbreak of the
World war; but there was this difference-Jefferson
paid for his party, while Mr.. Hoover's party was
on US
VOU can't. by the widest stretch OF the magma
i ton, picture band Of hungry and admiring
comparios going to that estate just outside of North
ampton, Mass, and handing to your Uncle Calvin
Coolidge anything like the gold brick which his time
and generation handed Thomas Jefferson.
Well. it broke Mr. Jefferson, this feeding of the
multitude and the fact that he signed friends note
for $4,000 also the fact that he had to pay debt
on his wife's property
And then he sold his library, the books he loved
for s240o0-ess than this letter of his sold for
the other day
That's why we thought it a tragic proposition.

Britain France and italy objected to publication Of
this document in the volumes foreign relations
now being produced by the state department covering
the period Of the World
This unwillngness to bring diplomatic material out
into the light Of day inevitably gives the impression
that there is something worth hiding. 1t provokes
suspicious which frequently than the facts.
France and Italy long have been under cloud o.
suspicion because of their delay in publishing their
documents on the crisis of 1914
The attitude of the entente powers and the United
States contrasts strongly with that taken by Germany
after 1913 The latter country published in full every
document dealing with the 1914 crisis even repro
ducing the kasers marginal notes the documents.
Still further it went back and published the docu-
ents on Germany's foreign policy from 1870 to 1914
This example ultimately forced Great Britain to
throw open part of her archives though never quite
freely as Germany.
The entente powers tried for decade to intini-
date Austria and prevent her from publishing her
secret documents on the period from 1903 to 1914.
They feared it might reflect the prewar diplomacy
of Russia and the Balkans. Finally under great diff
cuties the Ausrans published eight volumes of these
documents about year ago.
If little Austria could defy the ban, the United
states ought to be big enough to do the same.

An Anneal to EMPLOYERS

corollary to the "buy now campaign, important
enough to deserve republication all over the country
is issued by the welfare councils co-ordnatlng COM
mittee on unemployment in New York. This COM
mittee in recent statement, urges upon all ousl-
ness and industrial enterprises the desirabllty OF
lifting a great weight from the minds and hearts
of our people by public assurance to employees that
their jobs are secure"
The committee continues:
while such assurances may not be possible IN
certain instances some employers already have made
them and others contemplate doing SO. Such action,
wherever possible, not only is humane measure 10
take but it will mean that workers who are freed
of the terror of poverty will render happier and more
efficient service.
Moreover business will be benefited, because
employees sure of their jobs spend their money
in the normal ways instead of boarding it against
an impending disaster"
The logic of that is self-evident. Tt is commended
to the attention of all employers.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

blood vessels is more than the COM
bined total from tuberculosis and
cancer.
The life insurance examiner is
very careful to find out whether
the person who wishes insurance
has suffered previously from rheu-
matte fever, syphilis, govt, or any of
the infectious diseases.
The reason is, of course, that
rheumatic fever is one of the COM
monest causes of diseases Of the
heart. If the person affected in
childhood has been five to seven
years without any symptoms and
his heart appears normal at the
examination, he is likely to be
passed as a f1rSt-clasS risk. because
those who have rheumatic fever in
childhood and survive them seem
less likely to contract the disease
after passing the age Of Is.
If the person concerned has had
rheumatic fever, the examiner will
give more than the usual amount of
attention to the examination of the
heart,

Not So Petty

PARTY leaders in the senate pulled fast one on the
third day Of the new session. when every one was pussy
with organization work. They called up and passed.
without a record VOTE one of the numerous half
baked law enforcement measures of the adminstra-
zion. which is much more dangerous than it looks
This bill now before the President for signature
Gdefines as petty offenses those carrying maximum
punishment of $500 and six months in jail without
hard labor When the house passed this bill last June
tits purpose said to be to lay the foundauon 1or
the companion measure the uryless trial bill for So
4 called petty offenses.
If the purpose of the enacted bill is to define the
class of cases for juryess trials then it is bad legis-
1aton For it covers offenses some of which can be
tried only by jury if the defendant demands jury
The law on this question is made by the United
States supreme court constituting the United States
CONSTITUTIONS provision for trial by jury. This court
made some law on this very subject on Nov a. which
The senate overlooked in rsilroading the bill through
Z nine days later.
The supreme courts decision was in the case OF
District of Columbia against William H. Colts arrested
{ Tor speeding Under the district law man can de-
naand Jury if the possible punishment exceeds ninety
days and $780, and in any case in which he is guar
anteed trial by the Constitution, he Is to nave
: Jury unless he valves it.
Colts demanded jury; but his demand was re-
sfused. and he was tried without jury. The United
states supreme court decided this was all wrong that
the ofense was grave one, and that he was entitled
= to jury trial.
1t will be noted that the maximum punishment
in the Colts case was even less than in the bill passed
Z by the senate defining petty offense
n The supreme court appears to have decided that
the test of whether ofense is petty or grave is not
fln the amount of punishment that can be imposed
hut in the nature of the oense itself. The bill be-
lore the President tries to define petty ofenses not
by the nature of the ofense, but by the maximum of
punishment.
The President should refuse to sign the bill. And
congress should refuse to be rushed into passing any
more haf-baked enforcement legislation, especially
the piecemeal measures turned out with little

Honesty Is Lacking

MO one can review what has
L v occurred in these United
States during the last few years
without suspecting that lack of COM
mon honesty is responsible for much
of the trouble.
For one reason or another, we
seem to have developed a passion
for everything except the develop
ment of human character.
The idea that mechanical sys-
TENS could be substituted for per
sonal responsibility has swept us
off our feet.
Cash registers to prevent clerks
from stealing, bonds to keep bank
tellers straight, sealed scales to
protect the public against short
weight, specially made checks to
stop forgery, with success as mea-
sured in dollars and cents as the
all-inportant objective.

This Is Golden
Rule Week! Aid
a Needy Child
BY CHARLES STELZEL
OF the Golden Rule Foundation


TT doesn't matter what form a
L calamity may take-whether
it's war, famine, pestilence, or un-
employment-it's usually the chill
dren who suffer most.
They always are so helpless.
They can't understand what it's
all about. And because their ca
pacity for suffering is so limited,
the burden which the full-grown
man lightly throws off becomes
a crushing weight to child.
To one who understands, there
is nothing that touches the heart
SO deeply as a child's sob in the
silence. And child's cry has no
foreign" accent. It doesn't mat
ter where it lives or who its par
.ents are.sits cry is the call Of all
childhood.
Just now many of the children
in this city are being deprived of
the barest necessities of life be-
cause their fathers are out Of
work.
The best way to supply their
needs is to find jobs for their
fathers, so that the family life
again may be normal. This will
lift the burden that now rests
upon the slender shoulders of the
children of the unemployed.
This is Golden Rule week. If
you were out of a job, what would
you have some other man do for
you?

The Car Middle

Before this city is delivered INTO the nandS
of the insult interests, as far as trans
portation is concerned, the public should at
+ least. consider the possibility of municipal
ownership.
& When George ]. Marott suggested that
the CITY Junk the street car lines and substl-
! tute buses as means of carrying citizens TO
their work, he called attention to the TACT
that the people who now ride cars may not
forever be wholly dependent upon the present
system.
His plan may need some revision IN de-
tails. but both Marott and insult were agreed
IN one point. They both believe in public
ownership. The insult interests offer 1t IN
the distant future at price which may be
!. questioned Marott wants it now on terms
that are favorable to the city.
The activity of bankers, brokers and
I lawyers in behalf of the proposed tranchiSe
. for a monopoly of street transportation sug-
oests that the people will do well to proceed
with some caution and great deal Oh lnVeS-
: tigation.
: The present system is in the hands OF
receiver. It's owners admit they have tailed
: 10 operate successfully. There are all breedS
: Of securities standing against the properly
There are first mortgage bonds and sec
ond mortgages and preferred STOCK the Votdi
Of whose face value is eighteen or twenty
millions.
The proposal of these bondholders IS that
: thew sacrifice some of the face value, traoe
: in their bonds for new ones to be issued, ana
Z let the insult interests try to earn DIVIDENDS
: for them.
: If the receivership followed the regular
legal course, the lines would be sold at auc-
stion and the first cash would go to the hold
Z ers of first mortgages.
The owners of the other issues would
nrobabIv receive little or nothing.
That is the reason why the owners OF the
secondary issues are quite interested III the
sfranchise.
Anv claim of these holders is moral
1rather than legal. For it may be conceded
fthat a stupid and perhaps vengetul pubic
service commission during war years torced
unfair conditions upon the company and con
Strituted to the eventual bankruptcy OF the
company. The people may owe moral DOLL
CATION to these secondary bondholders'
But upon a business basis, the people
'eought not to pay under municipal ownership
Tor private operation, on greater value than
at present exists. It is conceded that at auc-
ton Block the price will be much less than
the proposed eleven millions capitalization
History of street car lines suggests that
electric lines will not always be the best
smeans of city transportation. In the past
Saecade. fifteen cities above $4,000 population
have discarded electric lines.
The Marott plan may be the solution Ger
stainly his suggestion of municipal ownership
now has the right sound. AS long as the peo-
@ple must pay the bills, why not give them
any possible profits?
