After Huston Comes Fess

After all the fireworks in driving the Inflated
but tenacious Claudius Huston out OF his job as
chairman of the Republican national committee, the
announcement that Senator Fess of Ohio is slated
as his successor comes as an anti-clmax.
OF course it is the Republicans own business whom
they shall pick as their chief But there is natural
public curiosity. And it had been supposed by the
uninit;ated that the c. o. management, after its
bad luck with Huston, Work and their predecessors,
would be bit more careful in its selection this time
According to the political dopesters, the main
reason for choosing Fess is to prepare for the re-
nomination of Hoover and to prevent the growing
wet group under Morrow from making prohibition
repeal national party issue.
That may be true, or it may not. At any rate,
the White House apparently has objection to that
interpretation for it has permitted Tess to make
statement somewhat along the same lines.
Immediately following the news o. his slated ap-
pointment Fess said in interview that Hoover
would be renominated in 1892 and that prohibition
would not figure in the 1880 and 1882 elections except
in local way
But whatever the future significance Of the FeSs
appointment may be-and We dc not profess to know
its present significance is clear That is, the Re-
publican national organization is being handed over
to one OF the most reactionary politicians in the
country. e.
That Tess is an extreme standpatter is not mat
ter of OPINION but of record. That he is mediocre
man is almost matter Of record.
On two famous occasions he was called upon as
an Ohio Republican leader to serve the higher inter-
ests of his country and of his party and both times
he remained silent He did not join in the fight
TO save the country from the Ohio gang Of the
Harding administration. He did not protest the
action of the Republican managers in the 1928 cam
pagn in appealing to religious bigotry. despite the
fact that the notorious Wiebrandt speech was made
in his own congressional district.
He was the man who insisted on third term
for Coolidge long after others had ceased and who
had to be rebuked by Coolidge for his activity. He
got on the Hoover bandwagon only after victory in
Ohio made it safe and popular. AS the keynoter at
the Kansas City convention he spoke for the
old guard.
In the senate his name is not identified with any
outstanding national legislation. He is merely
nartisan wheelhorse, one of the few remaining old
guard who always is regular" He is an enemy OF
effective farm relief He is for higher tariffs He is
an Anti-Saloon League man.
When others refused, he led the unsuccessful ngnt
to confirm Judge Parker for the supreme court IN
stead of making a fair fight, he made himself rldcu-
lous by charging that the Parker opposition had
Socialist source which threatened the country.
Such is the man chosen by the Republican man
ayers But as we have said. that is their business
They had right to pick Huston and they nave a
right to choose Tess or any other politician they
consider representative of their party

MUSOLINI'S BIRTH
July %

|NN July 20, 1888, Benito Musso-
" lini, Italian prime minister and
leader of the Fascist, was born at
Dovia, in the province of Forli, the
son of a blacksmith.
At the age of 10, after he had
received a normal school education,
he obtained an appointment at
Gualtieri. He soon tired of teach
ing. however, and decided to go to
Switzerland to improve his edua-
ton.
He interested himself in labor
movements there, but later was ex-
PEELED for his extreme sociaiiStic
views. So firm in his convictions
was he that he narrowly escaped
hanging for his utterances against
the Austrian government when he
went to Trentino.
During the war he abandoned
Socialism and pursued a strictly
nationalist and patriotic policy,
founding newspaper which fought
against neutrality. He saw active
service in the war and was wounded
seriously.
After his return to civil life he
began a campaign against bolshe-
vism by organizing the famous Fas-
cisti. originally a group of intel
lectuals opposed to bolshevism.
The group became a party in 1922
and succeeded in making Mussolini
prime minister and virtually dicta-
tor of Italy. In this capacity, he

At the end Of the season it was
found that only two cases of infec-
ton still existed among the, group
using the particular pool for which
the study was made.
In checking the germs in SWIM
ming pools, it is customary to ex-
anime the water for bacteria at
regular intervals and the number
must be down to minimum
standard which the engineering
department of the city can control.
The standard is usually 200 colon
bacilli for each cubic centimeter Of
water.
From the engineering point Of
view, there are many definite fac
tors which do not concern the
average person, but which are Of
the utmost Importance in proper
sanitation.
They have to do with the walls
around the pool, the scum gutter,
the outlets, the connection between
the water supply and the pool cir
culating system, the method of
chlorination, the painting of pipes
and similar plumbing factors.

Jim Has the Art

FIN FERGUSON Is to Texas what
y big Bill" Thompson ID to Chi
cago, what Cole Blease is to South
Carolina, and what many shrewd
politicians have been to many places
in the country since it was estab-
lished.
Politics calls for certain peculiar
type of mind. The man or woman
who has it can go far, in spite Of
deficiencies. The man or woman
without it can get nowhere, in spite
of virtues.
Ferguson simply has the art Of
gtting down where people live, of
making them trust him, no matter
how often or how convincingly he
has been exposed"
He has played the role Of the
poor mans friend" to a fare-you-
well, and he has played it by doing
things as we'll as saying things.
Your political leader who creates
loyal following, and especially one
that is loyal enough to vote for his
wife when he can't run himself,
must use his legs as well as his
tongue.
That's where most Of our reform
candidates fail. They take politics
as largely a matter of conversation.
They are willing TO preach, but not
to work.

Placing the Blame

ORGANIZATIONS have been in
~ clined to beg for peace when it
would be much more fitting to de-
mand it. Some little ground has
been gained. Even the most ardent
militarist hesitates to proclaim an
enthusiasm for war as a beneficial
human activity.
Instead there is much beating the
devil around the stump with pious
lamentations of the fact that man
kind is still belligerent and that
unfortunately the time probably viii
come when it will be necessary for
the millions to spring to arms again.
Never is it asserted that any Of
the unfortunate belligerency resides
in us. Some foreign nation, seldom
named, is selected as the land which
many be overtaken with convul-
sions.
The jingoes of America are not
the most logical people in the
world, for with one breath they
proudly proclaim that the United
States can lick all the world with its
left hand and in the next we find
these same gentlemen insisting on
the necessity of vast expenditures
for our protection.
One of the distinct barriers to
world peace is this same staggering
tendency which has been so ram
pant here since the war. Oralists
are not content to tell us merely
that We are rich, brave and vir-
tuous. They must need go on to
explain that no other nation is one
tenth so fortunate in its store OF
these same blessings.

Seeing

TT is interesting to note that while
l. in general Photography is a sue
perior method OF research to direct
vision, this is not entirely true in
the case OF The study of the suns
surface or photosphere.
Photographs of the sun do not
show SO great a wealth of detail as
can be seen with the eye during in
stants of exceptionally good "see-
ing" that is during instants when
conditions for observation are ex-
ceptional.
This same thing is true also of
Mars. During moments of excep-
tional seeing" more details can be
seen with the eye than can be pho
tographed. 1t must be remembered
that cur studies If the heavens have
to be made through the earth's at
moSphere.
Two things in particular interfere
with observations. One is the mois-
ture in the atmosphere. The other
is the motion If the atmosphere.
Photography, however, has been
particularly useful in the study of
the sun because it records instan-
taneously the appearance of the
disc.
Thus by taking series of photos
some minutes apart, it Is possible
to make a record of changes which
are going on in The suns surface.
Such studies of the sun are car
ried on by a number of great OBJ
servatories where many photos are
made of the sun on every clear day.
These observations include the
Mt. Wilson observatory in Califor-
mia, the Meudon observatory in
France, and the Kodaikanal obser-
vatory in India.

Discredited IN Advance

When the members OF the commission 10
study the cause, cure and prevention OF crime
refused to make any inquiry into the rela-
tionsfIp between crime and prohibition, they
discredlted themselves in advance OF any
recommendations.
Named by Governor Leslie to study the
crime problem, the members turn away from
the one law violation for which vast numbers
are in prison and which. in the belief OF many
is responsible for the increase of most other
crimes.
Anv body of men which refuses to face
facts can not complain if the people show
little interest or confidence in their coglta-
tons.
The demand by Leo NJ. Rappaport OF this
civ for study of the effects of prohibition
was unanswerable in its logic and its courage.
He declared that any study OF the crime
nroblem which eliminates the effect OF pro-
bibitior is worthless. Ee might have added
that it is not only worthless, but cowardly.
There could be but one reason for any
member turning away from this factor. Fear
of political reprisals on the part OF the lanai
ical both wet and dry, could alone have
stopped this inquiry.
The necessity of such study becomes
more urgent as the probability OF repeal OIL
prohibition increases. The overfilled prisons,
the hinge cost of enforcement, the increase OF
crimes of violence by gangsters, have caused
public opinion to become skeptlcal Oh VOL
steadism. Every unofficial survey OF puohc
oninion suggests that there is strong de-
mand for repeal.
What will come after prohibition becomes
an important problem. The decade OF vol
eteadisno has produced new conditions IN tne
world of crime Prohibition is responsible ior
tho formation of gangs in nearly every city
and these gangs are ready to murder to pro,
tect themselves in their three-bllllon-dollar-a-
year bootleg industry.
The members of these gangs are USED 10
easv money. Z is not to be expected tila'
thew would become law-abidlng cltlzehS
wore their industry destroyed by repeal Oh
prohibition and substitution of state regula-
tion or sale of the beverages from which they
roam such rich rewards. They would still be
gangsters and instead of killing eacn oCner
would probably turn upon citizens OF wealth
with murder, kidnapings and blackmall
rampant.
Not only the question of repeal OF prohl-
bition becomes important, but the probable
effects of repeal and ways to meet the new
criminal class should be discussed.
Is it possible that repeal OF prohloltion
would produce more crime than has been
produced by prohibition?
Refusal of the Leslie board to make even
a gesture in that direction should result IN
the waste basket for any recommendations
it may make.
