MIR. PRESIDENT" IS
 NEW TITLE FOR DUCE

ROME, March 31. = MT. President (Signor Presi- dente) is now accepted as the correct form of address when speaking directly to Mussolini.
 This accords with the cus- tom of practically all con- tinental European countries, where the Premier is gener- ally known officially as "the President of the Council of Ministers"
 In Fascist gatherings Mus solini is almost always ad- dressed as "Duce," the word meaning chief" Diplo- mats accredited to the Ital- ian Government usually en- ploy the "Sua Eccellenza" (Your Excellency) if they speak Italian, or it's French or English equivalent if they do not.

s,,nreme Court Upholds Labor

labor has learned how to turn the injunction
weapon against the anti-labor employers VINO nave
,ed If o long to destroy unions That is the sgnih-
canoe of the United States supreme court decision
Monday in the railway union case
The court upheld the injunction obtained by the
brotherhood of Railway and Steamship CLERKS re-
.straining the Texas 81 New Orleans railroad from
Recognizing so-caIled company union instead OF 'he
Labor union.
Labor thus won two-fold legal victory At one
sweep it utilized the injunction weapon for its own
purposes. and at the same time delivered body blow
TO its worst enemy the company union
We believe however that labor would be most IN
wise in counting much this precedent for future
use of the injunction weapon In most cases tna1
weapon will be found as improper in the hands OF
labor as when used as club by employers
Moreover. labor for long time to come will not hnd
as many Judges ready to grant pro-abor nJuncuonS'
even in valid cases. there judges anxious 10 mis-
use this dangerous weapon unjustly in favor Oh EN-
-ployers.
therefore the unions should not let this supreme
court decision turn their hands from the major task
of remedial legislation such the Shipstead BILL dras-
-ticallv restricting the legal use of injunctionS.
Such considerations of course do not detract from
the value of the supreme court decision as prece-
dent in the limited field covered by this particular case
In this instance labor fortunate in having oeen'
in effect the Joint author of the law directly bearing
mn the dispute at issue Thus the railway labor act Oh
1926 expressly made illegal for either railway COM
pany or its employees to or interfere with the
other in designating representatives for the purpose Oh
conference and negotiations
Here was virtually air-ught law proCecUlns La
bor rights to organize equally with the rights OF en-
,overs The courts which can find loopholeS in sucn
-nrotectve legislation as the Clayton antitrust act
nnarentv will not be able to get around or through
Aha guarantees of the later railway labor act.
In authorization OF the cry of anti-abor FORCES tnaC
tbis decision by the normally conservative supreme
court is a partisan and radical labor decision
budgeoned out of that court by the recent senatorial
confirmation fights against the conservative Hughes
and parker the following quotation from the decision
will show that the court did more than hold evenly
the scales of justice.
"The legality of collective action on the part Vi ei
oves in order to safeguard their proper interests Is
not TO be disputed The prohibition by congress OF
interference with the selection of representatives Tor

The fact that Senator Borah favors the ratifica-

ference only wher We agreed to surrender naval
bases in the Pacific then the increase of her ratio
at London would appear to give us the right to resume
those bases.
We do not blame Coolidge for refusing to let the

know how things look when they are on dray.

Hoovers conduct in critical matters will disclose a
strange weakness which renders him indecsive at
the point where the battle can be won or lost further
examination would show too 1 think that this weak
ness appears at the point where in order to win he
would have to intervene in the hury-burly of con-
ficting wills which the living tissue of popular
government; that he is bafled and worried and his
action paralyzed by his inexperience in the very
special business of democracy
Even during the war, when his fame was world
wide and mis- prestige intellectually great it known
in Washington thai the attack of relatively obscure
man like Senator Reed of Missouri could rattle him
for days. He can face with equanimity almost any
of the difficulties of craftsmanship except the open
conflicts of WILL he falters only when he has to act
in the mediu of democracy"
large part of Hoovers failure, according to Lipp-
mann, was due to inability of the American people
understand chat the American federal government
presents problems markedly different from an en-
cheering enterprise simple business unit which
call for nothing more than intelligence honesty and
industry:
The popular notion that administering a gov
eminent is like administering private corporation,
that 1t Is Just business housekeeping, engineer
ing, is misunderstanding. The political art deals
with matters peculiar to politics. with a complex
OF material circumstances of historic deposit, of
human passion, for which the problems of business
engineering as such do not provide an analogy"
Doubtless the trouble is not all in engineering.
Something must be ascrbed to Hoovers own peculiar
temperament. Some engineers might make SuperIa-
tive politicians But Hoover has shown that COM
petence as an engineer captainsof industry is not
enough in itself to make great President of the
United States.

Another Hair Shirt

Periodically especially at times when the Presi-
dent is taken ILL., discussion arises as to whether it is
possible for one man to live under the burden of the
greatest and most exactng job in the world Wood
row Wilson was taken before his time by the strain
OF the Office. The death @ Harding brought forth
many proposals for cutting down that burden.
Yet, IN face of all that, now is proposed to hand
to our chief executive another task.
Should the Hawley Smo't tariff bill become a law
the President would face TIE possible job Of passing
on some three thousand-cdd schedules, ranging from
goldfish to gondolas
The queer thing about it all is that Hoover actu-
ally seems to want the extra labor
But is it well for the country to permit its Presi
dent 10 become too much of a glutton for toll and
punishment?

The Engineer in Politics

can man run our federal government on the
same lines of action he might dig another Panama
fcana1 or build another Muscle Shoals dam? ms Is
the great question brought up By the Hoover ADMIN
sistraton. 1t is dealt with trenchantly by waiter
;Iippmann in Harpers Magazine.
: Iinnn,ann points out that Mr.. Hoover is the hrst
sprss;dent who is a product of modern publicity
methods: He is in fact the first American PreSl-
1ant whose whole public career has been presented
through the machinery of modern publicity Inc
Hoover legend the public stereotype Of an ideal
hoover was contrived consciously"
This legend. which helped nightly in assisting
Hoover to be nominated and elected proves hanoi
sn IN the actual administration of his duties 1t Is
hard for him to live up to the reputation created Tor
him by his publicity agents:
For the ideal picture presents him as the master
orranizer the irresistible engineer the supreme econ
.ornist 1t is depressing to be elevated too high.
and ii is depressing to be master organizer with
sbisobedient congress on your hands. or to be an
irresistible engineer with vets and drys OH the ram
mage or a supreme economist at the tail end OF bull
market"
Iippmann believes that the great weakness Of
Hoover is his shortcomings as practical political
leader. When he has purely administrative task
and fun authority he is likely to do splendid job
But this is not practical politics in federal de-
.mocracy.
To succeed here one must be able and willing to
mix in the hurly-burly Of controversy and to give
and take without losing ones head. This Hoover
seems incapable of doing He shrinks, hestates. and
is lost surren6ering his often sound ideas because
he would rather lose than to lead timely fight for his
finciples:

Editor Times-I think, considering
things as a poor man, that these
big guns, such IS Henry Ford and
other manufacturing specialists,
have a hidden motive and that this
high tariff would be a good thing
if it is put into effect. I, for one,
hope that it is.
It is exactly what we need, a good
jolt to make these men come to
earth. All you can hear now is
hard times. Why not let them get
a good taste of it?
You know why they do not want
the tariff, if you can see as clearly
as can. It would hurt them. They
do not care about the little fellow,
men who have to work and who
can not get work enough TO sup
port their families. I know Of sew
eral families living on practically
nothing just because these big fell
lows, such as Henry Ford and Cen
eral Motors, lost heavily in the stock
market. Now it is high time that
they suffer, also.
1 see several big manufacturers
of Indianapolis do not want this
high tariff. I think just the oppo-
site from what Henry Ford said in

Motion

ATOW let us reverse the rocket
IN and return to earth and oD-
serve the heavens from our own
back yards.
We note that just as the sun
rises in the east and sets in the
west, so the moon, the planets and
the stars appear to do the same.
This obviously is an apparent mo-
'tion due to the rotation of the earth
upon It's axis from west to east.
Next we note that the sun, moon
and planets are moving with refer
ence to the stars.
The moon moves most rapidly. If
we note it's position tonight with
reference to the stars, we find it has
moved Is degrees to the east by to-
morrow night. This is due to the
fact that the moon is revolving
around the earth.
When we turn to the sun, we find
that it's position with reference to
the stars shifts one degree to the
east each day. This, we realize, as
result of our rocket journey, is an
apparent motion of the sun which
results from the real motion Of the
earth around the sun.
The movement of the planets is
in general eastward among the stars,
but sometimes there is also small
er amount of motion to the west.
The motion Of any given planet,
therefore, is a combination Of its
real motion plus the apparent mo-
ton which results from the earth's
real motion.
The general eastward motion Of
planets position with reference
to the stars is the result Of the
earth's real revolution around the
sun. To this general eastward mo-
ton are added irregularities which
are the result Of the planets real
motion.

When such analysis is made and
the proper correction undertaken,
the condition usually clears up
promptly.
If the underlying condition is a
deficiency of the heart, this must
be controlled by proper rest and
by treatment to strengthen the

in the kidneys, suitable diet will
take some Of the strain off the

If the diet is at fault so as to ac-
cumulate acid in the system, an

If the force of gravity and vari-
cose veins are largely responsible,
these may be controlled by the

For seventeen years he held his
great position without a break. His
successful leadership of the govern
ment during the Anglo-French
war led his admirers to confer on
him the title of "the pilot that

His persistent enmity to Napoleon

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

| In a consideration of the vari-
Gus causes of this condition, DR..
A. A. OSman of Guys hospital
in England finds the explanation for
some cases in an acid condition Of
the body resulting from various dis
turbances of the chemistry of the
human organism.
In those cases in which the acid
reaction was primarily responsible,
the condition was overcome by Civ
ing salts by mouth which tend to
raise the alkalinity of the tissue.
1t is important to realize that
the swelling of the feet is a symp-
tom of what may sometimes be a.
serious disorder, and that it can
not be overcome by more walking
or exercise, by massage by ban
daging, or by anything put on
from the outside.
The attack on the condition must
