article on Catch En- Young and Treat En- Rough
by Ralph Wohlforth. Many reputable American citi-
zens have regarded it reprehensble even to teach
military tactics in non-mlitary schools and to de-
velop the bayonet psychoss in the minds of our
youth
1t certainly is ndefensble to allow parade ground
propagandists to ins goosestepping ideals into the
minds of school children. Yet this is just what is
happening AS Mr.. Wohlforth says:
Under auspices of the general staff and by order
Of the secretary Of war; they taught to sing the
praises of utility companies the status quo prepared
and service and the horrors of govern
ment ownership Socialism the initiative referendum
and recall Communism pacihsm and democracy"
We might perhaps. expect military authorities to
exhort the school boys to slavsh obedience to their
political superiors But it is startling to find that
these idealiss from the department far more
interested in forfying their youthful hearers against
the mildest brand of economic liberalism.
"They teach unabashed the crudest sort of eco
nomic bourbonism, which, if actually followed for a
couple of generations would bring revolu-
ton than the November, 1918, overturn in Russia.
Their economic creed is ID absolute ndividualism;
% the apothesis insult and public utilities, and 90
poverty and hunger to promote high thinking among
the laboring classes.
The results of such teachings on the students are
obvious:
cit ushers them out stuffed with the sawdust of
reactionary platitudes, tin whistle ideals and big
business morality. It ushers them out imbued with a
serve and complacent respect for things they
and with an intolerance Of change, intelligent
doubt or social progress"
Such doctrines are more of betrayal of American
ideals than Communism. Let anybody who doubts
it compare the writings of the Fathers with Manual

1t is high time that eject these goose teppers
forcbly from our educational institutions They
not only nuisance; they are dangerous If their
ideas gain any wide acceptance bloody revolution will
be the answer
They have no legal status. The attorney general
just has announced that in military tactics

A Winning Issue

Evidence continues to accumulate that last weeks
elections spoke more significantly the question of
public utilities than on any other
VETS were elected and drys were elected. Demo
Gratis and Republicans high tariff men and low tariff
men, but in every state where utilities issue
advocates of public ownership development of
power resources or of adequate regulation of private
companies, were successful. They belonged to both
parties. there were drys among them and vets. They
were elected in east west. north and south, but all
we're elected.
Never in recent years has there been such strk-
ing expression on the subject of power.
Now. with completion of referendum counts, it has
been determined that two states have in addition,
gone directly on record in favor of public ownership
of power resources.
Washington and Oregon have provided for creation
of power districts within their borders, having
thory to conserve the water power resources of the
states and to supply public utility service for all
purposes

Meanwhile, the rest of us can feel little more
secure in possession of our common heritage.

TINE result OF last Tuesdays election points the
1 finger of prophecy at number of things, two OF
said things being the probable presidential nomlna-
tions of the respective parties two years from now
In the case of the Democrats the convention might
as well come to order right for they have found

In addition to his half-mlion majority, Roosevelt
has other credentials, he being the connecting link
between the two national factions OF his party the

In addition to this he is statesman of high CHAR

In the case of the Republicans one can not fore
cast with the same degree of assurance but can
imagine situation in which President Hoover would
be glad to wash his hands of the whole proposition
and hand the G. o P. high command over to another,
Dwight Morrow, for instance.
1t is going to be rough Shedding for the administr1
ton these next two years with increased Democratic
strength in the upper house and the coalition having

an endless vexation.

state of things in the next congress will hardly be
stinulant to business
Should Mr.. Hoover decide to step aside the fingers

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Many Immune to Infantile Paralysis

1t is known, of course, that i'm
munity to other infectious disease
brought about by incubation against
them tends to wear off after q
period of time.
It is known that the incidence of
both infantile paralysis and diph-
liberia is low in infants under l year
of age; probably because such in
fants are not frequently exposed to
these diseases, but probably also
because the infant at birth has in
its blood immune bodies against in
fictitious diseases derived from the
mother.
For instance, one investigator
tested the blood of seven mothers
and blood taken from the urnbilical
cord of seven infants, and found
that the amount of antitoxin against
diphtheria was the same in nature
and in amount in the blood of both
mother and child. >.-.:
Other observers tested mothers
and infants at 143 births and found
that in 96 per cent of the cases
mothers and infants correspondent
with each other in having or in not
having antitoXin.

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HH HES43s

CINCLAIR- LEWIS has won the
~ Nobel prize in literature for
1880, and it seems to me a good
selection.
The prize comes to Mr.. Lewis at
time when his production has
slackened vastly in quantity and
even slumped, for the moment at
least, in quality.
He has published no important
book since 1927, when ELMER Cant
ry'' appeared, and no flrst-class one
since 1925, when "Arrowsnlith" was
issued.
But the Nobel committee haG
proceeded wisely on the theory that
awards should not be made on the
basis of the immediate performance.
That's sensible. The reward should
differ from that given to q six-day
bicycle rider for a half-mile sprint.
The world should allow any crea-
tive artist the privilege of ups and
downs, of slurnps and lofty flights.
In fact, I wish that kindness
might also be extended to column
lists, so that no one chained to a
schedule would be much assailed if
on some certain Thursday his out
put seemed little dull Seemed,
did I sayP He shouldn't be shot,
even if his stuff screamed its pal
pable dullness above the roar of the
presses.

The Beacon Fires

1T is significant commentary on

thor continues, that nearly 5000
years after the fall Of Troy, when
western Europe had experienced the
liberating influence Of the Renais-
sance; when cannon Numbered forth
from great galleons that were navi-
gated by the mariners compass;
when printing was q commonly &C
cepted art and the drama and litera-
ture were at the loftiest peaks;
when telescopes soon were to bring
even the distant planets within the
ken Of men-an age teeming with
development and progress-a series
of beacon fires very much like those
prepared by Agamemnon wound its
course through the hamlets and
towns and over the hills of south
Britain, speeding the tidings on to
London that the long awaited
Spanish Armada had appeared of
the Cornish coast.
Communications - the transmits
sion of information from point to

celeration with the coming and de-

These are the modern counter
parts of the beacon lights of yore,

Neither Mars Nor Marx

We throw out of our schools and colleges all teach
ers who try to their position to disseminate Com
munist propaganda. This is fit and proper. In Los
Angeles they will not even graduate from high school
students who believe in Communism. Such students
automatically hunked in the required course in
civics.
Yet we allow as rank and "un-American" type
Of propaganda as Communism to flourish in our

Peace Forces at Work

THERE are stronger forces than
l. the league, the world court, or
the Kellogg pact at work for the
prevention Of war.
For one thing. there is general
exhaustion among the nations; for
another. there is a world debt
which would cause every financial
structure and system to collapse at
the very outbreak of conflict; for
another, there is a great preponder-
ance of women.
It is probably true, as the Bible
says, that there will be wars and
rumors of wars" until the end Of
the world, but if history means any
thing, we can look for more rumors
than anything else during the next
generation.
It is a weakness of human nature
to linger with thrilling experiences,
to live days of excitement over
again, not only in the memory, but
in imagining what is about to hap
pen.
People seldom come out of a great
conflict without the obsession that
it is likely to recur. That obsession
is what ais the world today.

We Awaken. Slowly

THOUGH twelve years have
L passed since the armistice
was signed, there are millions who
can't make themselves believe that
it is over, that the fire is not still
burning somewhere beneath the sur
face, and that they might wake up
any time and find themselves right
back where they were in 1914.
They won't, not because trouble
is impossible, or even improbable,
but because humanity is in no con-
dition to start or to sustain world
wide conflict. We must raise en-
other crop Of babies to prepare the
way for such a calamity, tram an
other generation of children to the
comforts of peace, and put our
finances in oroer.
Even so, we can not be sure that
the calamity will come, because,
weak as they are, and futile as they
have been up to this time, the va
rious movements that have been in
stituted for a reign of law" are
having a tremendous effect.
The boys and girls going to
school these days are being taught
a different kind of history than was
in vogue fifty years ago, and the
difference will become more marked
as the years go by. Say what you
will, but war as an organized, de-
liberate sport has ceased to be the
glorious thing it once was.
The very fact that statesmen are
willing to admit that the thought
of permanent peace is worth consid-
ering represents a revolution in it.

The Human Voice

1T is difficult to evaluate what

of the last ten years without re

the Radio Decade.
80 long as the nomad tribe re-
manned the political unit, the spoken
word was sufficient. Primitive man

tribal concern were discussed at

peared and concerted action became
more essential, keenly felt was the
need for means to spread informa-
ton widely, and to dispatch instruc-
tons quickly in emergencies.
Down through scores of centuries
this need continued to tax mans
ingenuity. Until our present era,
with its marvels of electricity, it was
safe to say that in no other prac-
tical science was humanity quite so
laggard.
When the Greek demigods and
warriors departed on the expedition

Workers in the Harvard Medical
School recently have tested the
blood of nine mothers and their
infants for substances antagonis-
tic to the virus Of causative agent
of infantile paralysis.
The evidence indicated clearly
that where the mother is immune
to this disease, there is a passive
transmission Of this immunity to the
infant.
Apparently the relative in
frequency of infantile paralysis in
infants under l year of age is due
in a considerable measure to trans
mission of the substance which OPP
poses infantile paralysis from the
mother to the infant at birth.
There was complete correspond
ence between mother and infant
in ten out of twelve cases. It was
found also that the immunity trans
ferred from the mother to the child
is not permanent.
1t tends to wear off, so that by the
time the child is 5 years of age
much of the immunity transferred
from the mother may be lost.

One Of the Best

1T ought to be enough that five
i years ago Sinclair Lewis gave to
the world one Of the best Of modern
American novels. 1 realize that
both ''Main Street and "Babbitt"
attracted more attention, but for
my taste "Arrowsmith" stood out
and still stands out above the others.
In fact, upon hasty survey,
would put it with two other novels
as the finest which any native writ
ers have accomplished in this dec
ade. My choice for companion
books would be Villa Gathers "a
Lost Lady" and Ernest Hen1inway's
"a Farewell to Arms"
I've always felt it pity that Gus
tom accords books by modern au-
tIors such an exceedingly short
span. Aside from classics which
have been sailed down through the
centuries, few of us ever discuss or
even consider anything but "nsw''
books.
Even a fine novel is more or less
a drug on the market when it has
been on the shelf Of any book store
for year.

Outlook Is Gloomy

TINE number OF men under arms;
L the resentment of defeated
countries and the arrogance of those
that won; the presence of flag
waving dictators; the prevalence of
discomfort because of widespread
economic depression; the temporary
failure of some of the more am

old popularity of jingoism, combine
to give the situation a dark and
gloomy aspect.
The Franco-Italian sulk is like
ly to blow up at any moment, we
are informed, while Russia and
Germany may decide to attack Po-
land simultaneously, or Japan may
