Morrow's Victory

Ornaments of prohibition hardly had dared to hope
for such an overwhelming victory in the New Jersey
Republican senatorial primary.
The huge vote for Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow
ia all the more impressive because he was running
under many and unusual political handicaps
It IS true that he easily the ablest candidate
but political graveyards filed with good men who
lost to mediocre politicians
He was handicapped by being stranger to the
political game, and by having only small personal
acquaintance with the voters compared with his OPP
ponents Representative Fort and ex-senator Freling
huysen
He was handicapped by a four-cornered contest
which divided his own support while it consolidated
the support Of one of his opponents, Fort.
He was handicapped by being dubbed an anti
Hoover candidate The voters generally believed that
Fort close personal political friend of Hoover
and an associate with Hoover in the dry cause would
not have entered the race against Morrow WlthouC
the Presidents tacit approval.
He was handicapped by being former partner In
the house Of Morgan an asset perhaps in the eyes OF
some voters but political liability to many more
He was handicapped by his lack Of popular or
demagoeic qualities which win many votes of the un-
thinking
DESPITE these and other handicaps he won almost
solely on one issue That ISSUE of course, was repeal
of prohibition Here unusual case IN winch
the issue was not obscured. Every one knew every
one admitted that it was q prohibition test. That
was Forts only excuse for opposing Morrow. Forts
campaign was run by the Anti-saoon League and
other dry organizations.
And Forts comment on the result was:
obviously the Literary Digest poll was rgnt-at
least in New Jersey" Indeed, it was right almost
TO the point of absolute exactness
On the basis of fairly complete returns, the prl-
mary vote was: 80 per cent wet and 20 per cent dry
The Digest poll was 81 per cent wet and 10 per cent
dry The Digest poll incidentally showed the nation
about 70 per cent wet.
Significance of the primary result Is not tnat 1t
shows New Jersey wet-that already was known The
siencance rather that the vets have captured the
Republican party in that state
The eastern states by and large are wet. And tney
are by and large Republican in national elections
Logically therefore they would be wet Republican
But in one way and another the dry organizations
have succeeded since prohibition in perpetuatng the
abnormal and contradictory dry control OF the Re
publican wet states.
Morrows victory not only ends that anomalous Sit
nation in New jersey but will tend to break the dry
control of the Republican organizations in other east
ern states And nationally of course it is of tremen-
dous importance.
The days of dry dictatorship are waning

Who Pays the Fiddler?

We have been going through the wors depression
since 1921 Who is suffering? Certainly the laborers
and their families. Wages have been cut and unem-
ployment has increased greatly. Millions still out
Of work In April, 1880, 10 per cent fewer workers
were employed through the country than in April,
1929.
How about the owners of the stock and bonds in
these corporate enterprises which have been laying OF
workers? Have they been correspondngly pinched?
Not at ALL according to the statistics assembled by
the labor bureau in Facts for Workers" for June
The total dividend and interest payments on stocks
and bonds in May. 1880, were $57o,3oo,0oo as COM
pared with s490,4oO0oO in May. 1929 Dividend pay
ments alone we're "a per cent greater in May, $780,
than in May 1929.
The writer's comment on the situation is as fol-
lows:

reduce their purchase Of materials, and even cut
wages, but they continue to pay the same or even

Modelling Diplomats

The state department ban on the sale of aircraft
and munitions to Russia is a hypocritcal and I'M
warranted interference with American business
We are the worlds largest merchant of weapons
of war We sell more of such materials abroad than
does Great Britain, when Britains sale to her
own empire is taken into consideration
That is a very good reputation for the American
nation If we we're entirely sincere in our peace pro-
fessons and Kellogg pacts we would take the financial
profits out of war and the preparation for war That
is we would nationalze the making Of materials,
so that no private company citizen would have
a monetary incentive for hiring Shearer propagan-
dists. breaking up disarmament conferences, in
creasing military and naval appropriations, and
breeding international disputes and war.
Lacking such system however, the state depart
ment has neither the legal nor the moral right to
interfere with private trade in materials to
Russia.
The state department led the United States gov
eminent through an so per cent cancellation OF war
debts and the approval of huge private loans virtually
to underwrite the Fascist dictatorship in Italy Mus
solini certainly is more of immediate threat to
world peace than is Moscow.
Our aircraft and munitions makers have a large
foreign trade which is not questioned generally by
the state department regardless of how questionable
the purposes of the foreign government buyer may be.
Why then, should the state department single out
Russia?
The reason given by the state department is that
Russia is not recognized automatically, which has
precisely nothing whatever to do with the question
The state department exceeds its legal authority
by setting itself up moral judge in censoring pri-
vate American foreign loans and foreign trade Either
the government should keep hands off such private
affairs or governmental regulation should be exercised
by federal agency under specific authorization and
limitation by congress and subject to popular review
We are inclined to admit that foreign loans and
war trade increasingly assuming such interna-
tional political significance that governmental regu
lation may become imperative in the interests of
peace But better no regulation whatever than the
unauthorized and uncontrolled power usrped by the
state department and administered for discrimina-
tory and partisan purposes.

Shock Changes Nervous System

factories is commonly of 10 or 900
volts, either alternating or continu-
Gus current. AS has been pointed
out previously in this column, I'M
der certain circumstances a 100
volt circuit may prove fatal.
DR.. o. r. Langworthy made "a
series of Investigations on rats with
alternating and continuous current.
He points out that many fatal acct
dents from contact with electricity
are attributed to the manner in
which the heart action is disturbed.
Circuits at high voltage are prone
to cause death, due to the inability
to breathe because of disturbance of
the nervous system.
AS a result of his studies, DR..
Langworthy found that alternating
and continuous circuits produce
different types of LESSONS in the CEN
trail nervous system. Hemorrhages
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-06-19

were common after alternating cur
rent shocks, but few hemorrhages
were observed after shock with a
continuous current.
With either type at potentials Of
1000 and of 500 volts, very serious
changes took place in the nerve
cells. The changes were more
severe after the continuous circuit
shock.
With continuous and alternating
current at ITO and 220 volts, fewer
severe changes were observed, but,
as has been mentioned, hemor-
rhages were common in the cases
in which alternating circuit had
been used.
The effect of the damage to the
cells of the nervous system is to
interfere with the proper kind of
breathing and thereby to bring
about death.

Shades of David Starr Jordan!

Stanford University never has been regarded as a
haven for liberals though it did keep Thorsten Web
len on its pay roll for years 1t fired the ia
nous sociologist, Edward A. Ross, for doubling the
humanitarian element in Leland Stanfords employ
ment of coole labor in building the Central Pacific
railroad.
But pacif1sm was both safe and respectable there
until we entered the World The distinguished
zoologst who headed the institution David Starr
dan, was pacihst of deep and profound stamp He
had the courage of his convictions and stood out
against the stampede for war in 1867. He was
sufficiently courageous and persistent that his
own alma mater Cornell diversity, was urged to
eel his degree.
But times have changed The school of engineer
ing presided by Dean Theodore Hoover brother
of our Quaker President. Presumably the dean also
is Quaker. In of the courses in the engineer
ing school the boys use a printed syllabus which
frankly eulogizes war and denounces pacf1sts. One
of the characteristic paragraphs is the following:
"The human race develops by war and succeeds
in in proportion to its of metal Races perish
in peace. Culture is increased by the invention of
new weapons. The pacif1st errs in assuming that
peace is desirable
Robert D. Speere editor of the Stanford Daily, the
university paper may not have been of the cloth of
exPresident Jordan, out he certainly was critical of
quoted and criticised this manifesto of Mars.
Dean Hoover jumped on him at once and tried to
punish him for breach of college rules" But the
breach could not be established Then his engineering
students decided to help the dean informally They
tried to kdnap Speere and engineer" him into some
sound and patriotic philosophy. But Editor Speere
thus far has eluded them.
An equally frank statement of internationalism
might land one in San Quentin prison. Why not
be just socitous about outandout militarism and
-mongering?

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ
Perhops One ont of a Million
StuTs Is Surrounded by
Planets, Many of Which
May Be Inhabited.

WHY should not the distant
w stars, which are suns like our
own sur be surrounded by planets
as is our own sun? That is the queS-
ton which reader asks me.
The answer is that there are no
observable reason why that should
not be the case with many stars
In fact, many astronomers feel that
such must be the. case.
Observational astronomy throws
no light at all upon the matter. The
stars are all so far away that the
most powerful telescope reveals even
the nearest star as no more than a
point of light. Furthermore. aStron-
omers believe that no matter how
large a telescope they succeed in
building in the future the same
thing will hold true.
The nearest star is 25,000, 000, 900
miles away.
DR.. F. r. Moulton, famous Amer
lean astronomer, has expressed the
belief that perhaps one out of every
million stars is surrounded by plan
cts and that many Of these planets
are inhabited.
He thinks it not unlikely that
many of these planets may have
civilizations far in advance of ours
civilizations a million or ten mil
lion or even a billion years old.

REASON By Ff EzRBFs

OF course, there isn't the glory in it for Mr.
~ Schmeling to win by foul that there would
have been had he demonstrated his greatness by
breaking Mr. Sharkeys back, but our prize fighters
are very material persons more concentrated with
gate receipts than with anything else.
prize fight is the most degrading exhibition in
the world and until we can rise above it should
call home our missionaries and put them to work in
the United States.
There's only one compensation for this last fight
it enabled us to forget King Carol for while
WE should not be surprised if Mr.. Dempsey who
w was accused Of having fouled Firpo as Sharkey
foued Schmeling, but who got away with it, now
would come forth to rescue the battered honor of
his native land by licking Schmelng and bringing
back the heavyweight championship.
It's terrible handicap for the United States to
struggle along without it, and 100000 grieving
patriots expect the late champion and devoted friend
of Shakespeare to don the mitts and pulverize the
hstic ambassador from Berlin.
Prize fighters may come and go, but none can
approach the place In the popular mind enjoyed by
old John L. Sullivan.
That was back in the days when the champion
ship meant nothing more than belt and enough
prestige to open saloon
CULLIvAN would start in fighting on Monday
~ day morning and finish around Tuesday night as
for instance his fight with Kilrain down in Mississippi
which lasted for something like seventy rounds and
in those days the dear ladies in evening dress did not
adorn the rngside. for the sport under the ban
and the fighters had to dodge or fix the sheriff. usual
ly the latter.
And those fights not arranged in advance
they were decided by knuckles, not BY gamblers. not

the financial end had not been attached to it to make
it crooked pastime.

each number. For instance a friend
of mine can be called at TOTO. First
of all I think of an old man 20
years old and then I think of his
wife, precisely the same age. They
we're school boy and school girl
sweethearts and learned their alge-
bra in the same classroom. To be
exact, Mrs. Beamish was born on
March l, 1860, while Mr.. Beamish's
birthday falls precisely on May 1.
AS you may we'll imagine this leads
to all kind of banter between them.
Along about March every year
Mr.. Beamish says, well, Martha,
I've always thought it was mis-
take for a man to marry a girl older
than himself. Here you are, let me
see, TO-. is that not it? And I'm
only &c."
"This joke is trotted out every
year, but of course it can only be
used for two months. Otherwise, 1t
might get tiresome. Great people
the Beamishes. They don't come
any better. Mr.. Beamish can re-
member when they had horse-drawn
stages in Fifth avenue and he once
saw General Grant at distance.
He'll tell you about it if you ask
him and often you won't need to
ask.
This little story about the Beam
ishes serves to set the number TOTO
firmly in my mind, but OF course it
doesn't help me at all with the ex-
change. I've had to think up more
anecdotage to cover that. By a
fortunate coincidence the exchange
is Chickering.

DR. MOULTON'S estimate is that
~ one out of every million stars
may be surrounded with a system
of planets.
It is estimated that there are forty
billion stars in our galaxy. This
would mean, therefore, that 10000
stars out of this number possessed
planets.
How many of these planets are
inhabited-provided Of course that
they actually exists still another
question.
It might not be unreasonable to
suppose, however, that each of these
planetary systems contained one in
habited planet. That would mean,
therefore, that there are 10000 in
habited planets in our galaxy.
Many of these planets, of course,
would be much older than our earth.
1t is estimated that our solar sys-
tenn, and therefore, our earth, is
three million years old. Mankind is
perhaps million years old. And
civilization is perhaps 10000 years
old.
Some of these planets would be
much older than our earth. Some of
them may have come into existence
in the early days of the galaxy,
perhaps ten trillion years ago.
And so, there may be old civiliza-
tons in the distant corners of the
universe, civilizations which have
passed the age of million or ten
times a million.

Guess
mr.. MOULTON arrived at h

DR. MOULTON arrived at his
- opinion from considerations
arising out Of the so-called planete-
sinai hypothesis.
The planetisirnal hypothesis was
originated by DR.. Moulton and the
late Professor T. G. Chamberlain.
It seeks to offer an explanation for
the origin of the earth and the
other planets of our solar system.
According to his theory, our earth
and the other planets were formed
from material which was pulled out
of the sun by the gravitational pull
of a star which passed near our
sun.
The theory gets its name from
the authors belief that this ma
terial quickly condensed into small
chunks of rock Ike small meteors
and that the planets were built up
from the accreticn of these small
pieces wlaich they named planetesi-
mails.
If this theory is correct-and most
scientists feel that it is the most
plausible one so far advanced-the
origin of planets depends upon the
close approach of two stars.
Now We have a large amount of
material about the distribution and
motions Of the stars. And it is pos
sible, upon the basis of this infor-
nation, to make a guess as to how
often such a close approach could
happen.
If we then can succeed also in
making some. estimate as to the age
of the universe, we can arrive at
some sort of guess as to how
many stars have planetary systems.
This is just what Dr. Moulton did.

Traces Back to War

WHETHER with regard to pro-
w hibition, the tariff, interna-
tional trade, or revolution, most of
the trouble and turmoil with which
We are beset goes back to the war.
Twelve years after peace was de-
clared, we find ourselves embar-
raised by the debts, excuses, blum
ders and commitments incident to
the gigantic struggle.
Before the war we had no eight
zenith amendment. Before the war
we were comfortable, but not drunk
with prosperity. Before the war we
had a few gangs, but no rackets.
Before the war we did not think of
making farm relief an excuse for
the highest tariff rates ever en-
acted.
Before the war we recognized
Russia, Notwithstanding the car
and his Black Hundred. Before the
war we talked a good deal less about
idealism, but we're fairly logical and
consistent in our attitude toward
other people. Before the war We
were not so scared of radical ideas.

Country Still Restless

TN spite of the tariff bill, Wall
L Street remains nervous, and COM

This should convince any one that
we still are in the midst of re-
adjustment that will not respond to
artificial remedies.
Stocks crashed last fall because of
too much water.
To a measurable extent, the
prosperity which we took for
granted. and which old so much to
land Herbert Hoover in the White
House, was based on no better sub
stance.
A good deal of the profit we have
taken during the last ten years came
to use because other people could
not help themselves. From an in
ternational standpoint, our credit.
producing capacity, and prices have
been out of line.
Now that other countries are
getting back on their feet, we can
not hope to evade the natural effect
of those equalizing tendencies which
govern international trade under
normal conditions.
