a N Internationally high tariff
L A bill is having exactly the same
effect in Canada as in the United
States, and is favored or opposed
on precisely similar grounds.
Friday morning the Toronto Star
came out with an editorial denounc-
ing the increased duty on glass,
which it described as neither more
nor less than a window tax" and
which it declared would force the
average home owner to pay twice
as much for his daylight.
Friday afternoon, the Toronto
Evening Telegram answered editori-
ally by asserting "the liberal press
is busy trying to find weak spots in
Premier BENEFITS new tariff sched-
ule,' and that the new duty on glass
was designed TO restore an indus
try that liberal policies brought to
the brink Of bankruptcy"
Doesn't that sound just like the
Grundyites at home and doesn't it
prove the nonsense of taxing mil

dustries that could not be main
tanned any other way, that have no
excuse for existence, except profess

Jobs and Campaign Gifts

With so much municipal and state graft being
exposed around the country and revelations of eX
cessve senatorial primary expenditures, perhaps it
is little bit old fashioned to carp at the trend of
the Republican national committees financial con-
tributions.
Anyway it is a matter of taste, rather than law.
But we can not understand what causes White
House appointee to make a large campaign contri-
button soon after being given good job nor why
the campaign committee should be ready to seek
or accept gifts from such sources.
The same applies to capitalists who stand to gain
or lose financially by pending government de-
cison and who proceed to make campaign contribu-
tons
Publication of the list of contributors which must
be filed with the government under the corrupt prac
tices law reveals that several who have received
Jobs as ministers abroad who have direct interest
in pending transportation power decisions by the
government recently have given the Republican ma
tional committee sums reaching to totals of $4,000
each And those gifts may be increased later.
1t happens that these men rank high IN char
acter estimate in the public mind. Probably no one
will question their motives in these transactions But
why should they deliberately put themselves and the
Republican committee in such an embarrassing
position?
OF course this sort of thing happens in all al
minstrations Democratic as well as Republican.

Hate StirS Trouble
DEOPLE and politics are mu

DEOPLE and politics are much
L alike, no matter where one goes,
and nothing reveals it like this So
called age of materialism.
We are at last dealing with uni
versals.
A dynamo is the same old thing
whether in New York, Toronto or
Hongkong.
So, too, is a vacuum cleaner, au-
tomobile, receiving set.
Racial, religious and national ira
ditions, not scientific progress, are
chiefly to blame for the differences
which still exist, and which are
much more imaginary than real.
If history, as it has been written,
could be destroyed, and if we could
start over again, beginning with the
nineteenth century, there would not
be half as much to fight about as
there is.
European statesmen frankly adj
nit that inherited hate, rather than
existing conditions, is their chief
source of trouble.
The absence of old grudges to keep
alive and old scores to settle has
done more to preserve peace be-
tween Canada and the United Statesl
than anything else.

New York G. o. P. Goes Wet

Now that the New York Republican state conven-
ton officially has repudiaed the Republican national
dry plank of 1928 and the administration policy per-
haps the G. o. p politicians in Washington will dis
cover that prohibition is an issue.
The New York state convention voted to l in
favor of prohibition repeal and will appeal to the
electorate on that wet platform AT the same time
the wet candidate Charles H Tuttle, was nominated
for Governor.
The significance of this is not that it represents
change in actual sentiment New York long has
been known as wet state in fact. But hitherto the
Republican party in that state has submitted to a
dry dictatorship which did not represent the actual
sentiment of majority of the party or of the cleo
torate there.
SO the significance of the convention action yes
terday at Albany is that New York Republicans have
for the first time platform on this issue which is
representative and politically honest

MAN progresses in two directions
WI in scientific research. One is
to the understanding and control of
the gigantic. He measures the dis
lance to stars which are trillions of
miles away. He builds huge tele-
scopes capable of revealing these
distant giants of the heavens. He
learns to generate and control cleo
trio currents which are the equal Of
lightning bolts.
In the other direction. man pro-
crosses toward the understanding
and control of the infinitely small.
He builds microscopes that pene-
trate the structure of bacteria. He
delves into the secrets of the mole
cule and the atom with apparatus
of amazing delicacy.
Comparison of an announcement
just made by the General Electric
Research Laboratories with one
made a few weeks ago, serves ex-
cellently to illustrate the two trends
of scientific research.
Some time ago, an announcement
from the laboratory described the
impulse generator" designed by
Giuseppe Faccioli, who had taken up
the artificial lightning researches
of Steinmetz.
Faccioli's machine delivered a
lightning stroke of 10000 amperes
at 100000 volts, a total of 26,OO0,-
0O0-horse power.

/ the diet is TO be established, all foci
of infection are to be removed, and
the patient taught the proper mode
of existence for his condition, exact
ly as one takes advantage of sana-
forum conditions for teaching the
patient with tuberculosis how to
conduct his life satisfactorily.
Sir Humphrey Rolleston, one of
the three physicians in Great Brit
ain known as the kings physicians,
summarizes the whole point Of view
for the patient with high blood
pressure in the following words:
THE hard working and hard living
man of affairs must relax and re-
duce the stress and strain Of his
existence. He must learn to play,
to take real holidays and frequent
days and week-ends to follow hob
bies, and avoid overeating :"
There are some authorities who
insist that a diet that contains no
salt carried out over an extended
period of time will control high
blood pressure.
Unfortunately the assertion is not
supported by sufficient scientific
evidence to establish it, and numer-
GUS physicians who have repeated
the tests have been unable to con-
firm them.

Real value in Safety Movement

generation ago the daily get-together Of farm
ers and townspeope around the stove in the country
grocery store was one of the most ypicay American
meetings that could be imagined.
Modern America which has slowly drawn away
from that informal gathering. has devised a new
meeting which quite typical, although not quite

Not long ago this sort of meeting generally was
looked on as the work of faddsts; useless vast

safety meeting has become recognized generally.
It is hardly exaggerating to say that this move
ment for safety in industry is one of the most i'm
portant movements of the day. It represents Of
the few organized efforts that mankind is making to

and we have to live with them for better or for

TO the job of finding out just how we can get along

In the old days there was little need for safety
movement. The factory hand worked in small shop
and generally used his own tools; if he not

have his job at all-he hardly had a chance Of hurt

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

The chief obstacle to such treat
ment is the fact that the patient
with high blood pressure in an early
stage feels perfectly well and is not
likely to submit himself to a regime
that in any way restricts his activ-
tiles.
The next difficulty is the fact that
a person with high blood pressure is
not infrequently a person Of little
or no means and that sanatorium
or hospital treatment over a period
of many months is exceedingly
costly.
Therefore. for the vast majority
of people, all that the physician
can recommend is regulation of
daily activities and care in the mat
ter of diet.
1t has been suggested that COM
plete rest in bed even at home
would be beneficial for patients with
high blood pressure, but most au-
thorities are inclined to emphasize
the beneficial effects of moderate eX-
ercise as compared with complete
rest.

perience advises, first Of all, three to

ON Sept. 81, 1922, Samuel Adams,
~ ore Of the leading men in pro-
motion Of the American Revolution,
was born in Boston Of an aristo-
cratic family. Like John Adams,
the second President, he was de-
seconded from Henry Adams, a
Puritan emlgrant.
After graduation from Hazard
college in 1740 he entered a law Of
fee. But this work proved dis
tasteful to him and be shortly went
to work as a clerk IN counting
house. In this occupation he failed.

into the brewery business with his
father.
He made his formal entry into
politics at the age Of Al, when ne
was elected clerk of the house,
where, as a member Of many COM
mitteSs, he wrote many Of the most
important state documents Of the
pre-revolutionary period.
Through his service here and by
his writings in the press Adams
came to be recognized as a leader
not only in Massachusetts, but IN
the other colonies.
When in June, 1774. the Massa-
chusetts legislature babe defiance to
the British and issued a call for
the continental congress, it was
Adams who directed The movement.

side of Forty ninth street were as

like to build and live on them? I
would not think so.

lots at Forty ninth street and Rock
