living. It has increased Industrial eff
ficiency. But it has increased vastly the
significance of unemployment. 1t has
placed the assurance Of q livelihood IN
return for labor far beyond the control
of the individual.
A large group of leading sociologists,
economists and statisticians have put
themselves on record in favor of the
three bills introduced by Senator Rob-
ert F. Wagner of New York providing
for more efficient employment offices,
better planned public works and better
labor statistics. These three avenues of
attack are, at present, the most obvious.
Few would maintain that they will pro-
vide a complete solution Of this vexing
question. The more 1t is analyZed sci
entif1cally the more complicated it is
likely to become. The final answer will
not be obvious and simple.
But civilization hardly can continue
indefinitely in the way it is going while
this defect remains unremedied. The
germs of unemployment have been long
in the bloodstream of the social body,
but their effect has been magnified into
major malady by the conditions Of
the machine age. The problem deserves
the best intellectual efforts Of this gen
Grafton. Its solution will be one of the
greatest possible achievements to which
the cooperating social sciences can
look forward. The machine cannot live
independent of the man.

that, after all, the personal relations
Of antagonists are excellent and that

Senator Walsh Of Massachusetts, took

by the Senator from Utah, who had

Very naturally q good many hard

from Utah has manflllly fought his

that some Of the blows we're of such Q

This tribute was seconded by Senator
Simmons, the ranking Democrat on the
finance committee, for whom also Mr.
Walsh said warm word of congratula-
lions for his part in the work. The
North Carolina Senator added his
tribute to the remarkable patience and
the absolute fairness Of his Utah COL
league. Then came Senator Swanson
OF Virginia, concurring in the deserved
eneomiums that had been delivered
upon the Senator from Utah and ex-
pressing appreciation of the ability and
courage and consistency with which
Mr.. Simmons had led the Democrats

Death Penalty for Speed Records.

Mai. Sir Henry o. D. Segrave
holder of extraordinary records for speed
on land and sea, has paid the final and
apparently unacceptable penalty for en-
terprise in the mastering of time and
space. He reached his supreme climax
ashore in March, 1929, when at Day
tona Beach he drove his Golden Ar
row motor car, remarkable contriv-
ance for developing the highest speed
at the rate Of 231 miles an hour, plus
four-figure decimal fraction. In rec
ignition Of this feat King George
knighted him upon his return from
America. Then his wife persuaded him
to abandon the motor racing game,
which has exacted so many death pen
alties from its devotees. He did not
however, desert the contest for speed,
but transferred his attention to marine
racing, and brought to bear upon the
problem Of developing the highest EN-
cheney In motor boats his peculiar
skill and inventive ability. He had
evolved q craft that was undoubtedly
one Of the swiftest machines in ex-
istence, perhaps the highest evolution
of the marine motor. Trying 1t out on
Lake windermere, in England. Sc
grave met his fate Friday. He died
triumphant, however, for in the course
of the runs over the measured distance
that ended in his fatal injuries he had
averaged ss76 miles an hour, which is
world record. His last words were
query on this score, and 1t may be
that he died happy in the knowledge
that he had achieved his object.
It is not for mere glory, at the price
Of their lives, that these daring men
like Segrave continue to build and
drive motor cars, boats and airplanes
for new records. They are pioneering
in the development of the machines. 1t
does not follow that because they travel
in their trial and contest runs and
flights at phenomenal speeds or rise
to amazing heights all the world will
soon move as rapidly or as far or as
high. They are, in fact, making pos
sible performances In the future that
will far exceed those Of today, and for
their services and their sacrifices they
are thanked and honored, and when
they pay the penalty Of Natures ex-
action for daring too greatly they are
mourned as heroic contributors to
progress.

UnemnloYment.

The resources of the social sciences
are beginning to be concentrated TO-
ward the solution Of one Of the major
problems of American civilization-un
employment.
II is by no means a new problem. The
condition is as old as the specialization
OF labor. But it constitutes a dangerous
fiaw in the architecture Of the present
economic and social structure in the
United States.
The trend is toward finer and finer
specialization of labor--toward the abb
solute dependence Of the individual or
one narrow craft for livelihood. The
population is concentrating In industrial
centers. Families have cut loose entirely
from the land which in the past has
afforded a means Of bridging periods oi
industrial depression. A retracing Of
this path does not seem to offer a So
luton. The individual Is more anc
more standardized as a part of a ma
chine, entirely dependent on the func.
tioning of the machine as a whole.
This has brought about many advan'
tages, It has raised the standard O.

cent. They feel confident that II can
medically be proved that . country
which has acquired . claimed immu-
nifty to SO per cent Of the poison can
readily stand mere per cent more
of 1t. To get this done and to relieve
business Of the tariff dispute by trans
statute books, the President needs
these people say-simply courage.
4 +
Having thus presented their eco
nomic argument, these people further
present a political argument as follows
1t is the Presidents friends in the
House Of Representatives who have
made the framework of this bill. 1t is
the Presidents friends in both houses
OF the Congress who have voted for
this bill. The President, by vetoing
the bill, cannot conciliate his enemies.
He would only give them fresh REIN
forcements through assertions to them
from among his abandoned friends.
Therefore the President should not take
a short-time view of this matter, but
should take long time view and should
call upon himself for y little courage
and sign the bill.
Such are the presSures upon the
President. The gentlemen opposing the
bill assert that the President will be
a coward If he signs 1t. The gentlemen
faVoring the bill assert he will be a
coward II he vetoes It, The President
can thank both elements for at least
one agreement. They agree that he
should exhibit courage.

DIVIDED CROWDS
BY THE RIGHT REV, JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D. L. D.
Bishop of Washington.

Tert: ST. Mark ii, s-"They that
toent before and they that tolloUed"
1t is frequently difficult to discover by
what processes public opinion is made
In many instances its decisions lack
both reason and logic. To follow the
crowd is always easier than to reach
our own decisions and to pursue our
own way. 1t is not given to many men
to be able to give a reason for the
hope that is in them" All down
through the ages conditions have arisen
that have called for quick decision and
ready action. Very frequently these de-
cisions have not been characterized by
reflection or recognition of the
irresistible logic of events. No matter
how ,emingly independent we may be
in our thinking, we are all more or less
the victims of that subtle thing we
call public opinion" We know of no in
cident recorded upon the pages of history
that so illustrates the variableness of men
as that which relates to the tragic last
days OF the Master. BY His extraordi-
nary utterances and His incompatible
life, He had won the confidence of a
considerable group of men. No matter
how they may have misinterpreted the
deep significance of His teaching, they
had come to regard Him as one who
possessed extraordinary gifts The day
had come that, to the minds Of many,
was to mark His rise to commanding
power and influence. On this eventful
day when He entered Jerusalem, the
capital of His nation, He was greeted
by multitudes that thronged the streets.
The crowds, in the main. seemed favor
able to Him. They hailed Him as q
conqueror and deliverer. They saw in
Him the one who was to break the yoke
imposed upon them by the Roman En-
pire. For a brief moment He was lifted
on the wave of popular favor. They
that went before and they that fol-
lowed" cried, saying: "Hosannal Blessed
is He that cometh In the name of the
Lord! Blessed be the kingdom of our
father David" What the mind of Jesus
was concerning this acclaim is not dis
closed. II seems incredible that the

Travel Abroad Drops
By $4,000 Passengers
From the Dayton Daily News.

From the Dayton Daily News.
Transatlantic steamship companies
agents estimate, have lost approxi-
mately 100000 since the first of the
year caused by decrease in flrst-class
bookings of almost $4,000 passengers
under the number which we're accom-
modated during the same period last
year Winter cruises declined consid-
erably in popularity. In previous years
the Summer tourist rush has filled
every vessel to the guard rails, but this
year only one liner, the lie de France,
gives indication of doing a good bust
ness In first-class bookings.
Minimum FIRST cabin rates range from
1855 to $500. The so-called tourist
third-class accommodation may be
had, on the other hand at q minimum
OF slightly more than $500. Not q few
large liners, the Leviathan and the
Homeric, for instance, have recently
converted their second-class quarters
into these cheaper and consequently
more popular accommodations. Doubt
less this policy is partly responsible for
the fall of first-class revenues.
But even these classes, the agents
declare, will not be fully occupied except
on certain rush dates. They conclude
that there Is too much tonnage afloat,
ana suggest curtailment of passenger
liner sailings next year
There may be other reasons beyond
the control OF the steamship companies,
however, for this condition. The frantic
olds for tourist patronage among Euro
pean nations, which once had more
than they could handle, may lend a
clue. After the war the tourist goose
laid many golden eggs for countries
across the Atlantic, France particularly.
NOW even France has need of It's newly
created ministry of tourism. Canada,
CUBA and Mexico are in competition
1or American business this side of the
pond, and thousands, in accordance
with Assistant Commerce Secretary
klelns suggestion, are using American
tourist dollars to aid American bust
ness" All this helps make 1t tough
Tor the transatlantic lines.

crowd which was so vociferous in It's
morning acknowledgment of His great
ness should before the close Of day, as
the result of a sinister conspiracy, be
crying out, Cruelty Himl Cruelty
HIM"
AS we see this morning crowd, 1t d.
vides itself into two distinct parts.
They that went before" were the en-
thusiasts, the quickly persuaded, the
tickle, superficial devotees of that which
was novel and momentarily popular. In
trigued by what they interpreted as the
recognition of a popular hero, they be-
came the willing victims of an ephem-
eral public opinion The second ele-
ment that followed behind the hero rep
resented the more cautious and con-
sentative those who were unwilling to
yield to hasty Judgment or to ratify
at once their approval Of His new-found
favor, This latter group was more large
ly affected by the shifting opinion Of
the crowd. They were more ready to
abandon the idol Of the hour If personal
convenience dictated 1t, or the tide OF
popularity shifted. At the center of this
motley group we behold the lonely figure,
unmoved and unperturbed, with fixed
determination going on to His appointed
destiny.
Human nature does not greatly
change. We still live In a world of di-
vided crowds. Between the spontaneous,
eager, superficial group and hesitant,
easily discouraged one, the Master OF
men still moves down the broad high
ways Of human experience. Jesus is stil1
the victim of shifting, changeable pub
lie opinion. Every new generation APP
praises His worth by its own standards.
Opinions vary concerning Him. but He
holds on His fixed way in spite of all
that men may say and men may do. To
the end of time He will be the observed
of all observers specifically studied by
those who acclaim Him only to ignore
Him; recognized by those whose judg-
ment concerning Him shifts with popu-
lar favor or changed public opinion.
Sooner or later we are compelled to
appraise Him.

here he reported that his road crew
had recently done q lot of work on the
T. R. highway between Troy and the
Idaho line. They have graded the road
from the improved highway east Of the
Idaho line to within about four miles
Of Troy, and have also graded the
Yak road from Yak hill to Sylvanite.
In addition to grading, rocks had been
removed and other good work done
Because Of the dry season and the
lack of moisture in the soil the work
will not show to full advantage until
after few rains help to pack the
roadbed.
Mr.. Monio recently purchased new

HandlcY VIII Not
Accept Nomination

Thomas Handley of ReMord has
written letter to County Clerk and
Recorder WOLF notifying him that
Handley will not accept the socialist
nomination to the office of state rep
resentative and requesting that his
name be kept from the general cleo
ton ballot A number of socialists met
in Libby a few weeks ago and nomi-
mated F. E. Baker for state senator and
MIR. Handley for state representative.
Mr. Handley writes, in part as fol-
lows:
"Am advised that the socialists of
Lincoln county have recently con-
ferred upon me a very great honor in
that they made me the party's candi-
date for the office of representative
in the forthcoming legislature. Such
consideration OF course challenges my
deepest gratitude, but regret l must
resign any wish might entertain to-
wards public office. In the first place,
have always aligned with the demo
cratic party, hence could not very well
enter the lists against the candidates
OF that party. Secondly, | am pledged
to the support of that grand old demo-
Graf, that strictly honest and able man,
whom I consider the father Of Lincoln
county democracy, Mr.. Timothy Mil
Ter of Libby, for the very office the
socialists would bestow on me-"
Handley takes the liberty" to urge
his socialist friends to support the
democratic ticket "since by so doing
they can render their cause no harm
and can aid in giving merited re-
buke to the Hoover regime and all the
iniquty for which it seems to stand "
