Woman Candidate In

To DePriest
BY n. III. HIPPELHEUSER
Associated Press Staff Writer

CHICAGO, April 7.@P-United
States Senator Charles S. Deneen
and Ruth Hanna Mccormick tossed
the World Court into the Monday
wash today. Tomorrow, Illinois Re-
publicans In thousands OF primary
election booths will iron 1t out.
Neither the senior senator nor
the congreSswoman allowed the
usual days lull before the ballot
storm; both sought last minute
strength in Chicago with noon-day
meetings. and both planned final
statewide radio appeals tonight.
Father vs.. Mother
For the first time, a father and a
mother oppose each other for a
senate seat; again, as in 1926. IL
linois voters will be the first TO APP
prove or refute an attack upon a
World Court senator; again as in
1924. a Deneen. a Mccormick and o
Newton Jenkins, meet in a repu-
blican senatorial primary; for the
first time. the daughter and widow
OF a United States senator seek to
hit in the Capitol wing where they
sat.
Mrs. Mccormick, the daughter Of
Mark Hanna, IS the widow Of the
late Senator Medill Mccormick. It
was in 1924 that Deneen gained
McCormick's seat by a plurality Of
less than 5000 votes. In that race.
jenkins polled 49, 900 votes. and
political observers believed his IN
looked-for activity made for McCor-
mick's defeat.
Mckinley Lost
In 1926, Illinois saw the first de-
feat OF a senator who voted for the
World Court, the late William B..
Mckinley. Frank L. Smith, who was
thrice denied his senate seat and
who seeks the Republican nomina-
ton as congressman-at-large In to-
morrow's primary. opposed the
World Court In that primary cam
paign. and won with more than
100! 900 votes 70 spare.
Again the World Court Is an is
sue. made SO by Mrs. Mccormick IN
an onslaught that carried her in
every county in the state. Deneen
accepted the challenge. and IN an
offensive no less widespread. has
defended his vote FOR American en-
trance into the Court with five
reservations. saying 1t was because
II party regularity. He charged Mrs.
Mccormick with shifting her stand
on the issue and declared her opno-
sition was "out az harmony with
republican administrations.
Supports Negro
The campaign reached a high
point last night when Mrs. McCor-
mick. at a rally Of Negro voters de-
clared her support OF Oscar De
Priest. Negro Congressman seeking
reelection.
In his Sunday meetings. Deneen
charges Mrs. Mccormick With

Drv Killings and a Referendum

Staying of two federal agents by an alleged boot
logger in West Palm Beach, Fla, adds to the mount
ing prohibition death list.
No one will condone this tragedy. If first reports
are accurate, they acting in line Of duty and
within the law. Instead of succumbing to the easy
temptation of awess enforcement the reports state
that they waited to make the search until they had
obtained and served a warrant. In that they set
an example for their service.
To those men, and the agents like them who are
risking their lives to enforce in legal manner an
unenforceable law the public respect In final
sense they the victims of the foolish legislation
which the public allows to stay the statute books.
The same is true of those coast guard who,
within the law engaged in the unpopular service
of enforcing hated law.
Nothing could be more unjust and unfortunate
than the tendency among hotheads to take@out their
spite for the law on the officers paid and sworn
by the public to enforce that law.
Indeed in this, as in all prohibition discussion,
there too much evasion of the public responsibility
for the present mess
The coast guard, the prohibition agents, the Presi-
dent did not make the law Whether it is good or
bad, they sworn to enforce it SO long it re-
mains law, using only legal enforcement methods.
Only the public through congress, can change
the law
That the public is beginning to realize its response
blity is indicated by the of plans in congress
for prohibition modification repeal
Of these plans perhaps the most interesting Is
the Norton resolution introduced in the house Mon
day for a national referendum for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment Such proposal faces all sorts
of objections including the familiar one of uncon-
stitutionality. Nevertheless, it has much to COM
mend and deserves the most serious consideration.
Obviously such national referendum would be
fairer than the referendum by states which some
drys contemplate method Of preventing eff
fective poll Of the public will Every knows the
drys could carry twelve small states, the number
necessary under referendum by states, to nullfy
the vote of the rest of the country.
If the drys are sincere in their constant refrain
that the country is overwhelmingly in favor of the
present law they should be the first to favor real
national referendum
If the drys think they can use the power Of a
dozen prohibition states to maintain this unpopular
law indefinitely against the will of national
jorty, they only not mistaken, but they may be
driving this country into of the biggest and
most costly demonstrations of civil dsobedience
which the world ever has seen.
Despite this Senator Watson and some Republican
leaders favor referendum by states sop to the
drys. There is as yet evidence that President
Hoover is lending himself to such dangerous po-
litical ruse.

Il WIFE, Mrs. Coolidge tells how the entire family
must dress formally for supper every night
If this be necessary, We hereby announce that we
do not choose to run, for We would rather write a
column and eat supper in a horse blanket than be
President and do it in full dress suit
Her statement that Mr.. Coolidge liked to eat In
the state dining reminds of the time that
President Roosevelt took Mark Hanna into it to show
him how it had been redecorated.
Pointing to the stuffed heads OF animals he had
put around the room: Roosevelt told where each had
FROM whereupon Hanna replied: That's all
right, but if you're ever succeeded by vegetarian,
he'll take all those heads down and put up sQuasheS,
cabbage and cucumbers.'
THE most human years the White House ever knew
Il were during the administrations of Garfield and
Roosevelt both of whom had large families the Gar
field boys giving the place dash of informaity which
would have shocked royalty when they bathed in the
front yard fountain.
During Roosevelts administration almost anything
was likely to be done oy the children, to the side

They likely to lead horse up the grand stair
case or bring goat to dinner.
It Is strange how books of the same kind come in
this thought being occasioned by the fact that
all once three books about former President Andrew
johnson make their appearance after more than half
q century Of silence on the subject.
IL of these books make johnson a hero which
L n reminds of the fierce antagonism his con-
ciatory course toward the southland aroused
throughout the north, where he written down
traitor by almost all who had fought for the
Union.
Now, however he stands forth as having carried
out the policy of reconstruction which Lincoln started
and would have followed, had he lived.
One not contemplate the horrors of recon-
sruction without cold chills, but all this would have
been avoided had Lincoln lived for while he, too,
would have had to fight Thad Stevens and the other
radicals, he could have for he had the love of
the Union soldiers more than any other man.
The south realized this and when southern leaders
heard of his assassination they threw up their hands
and prepared fer the worst.

IT SEEMS TO ME By HF aFo{2S

her standing in the Catholic
church.
1 think that even very devout
members Of that body will admit
that the pope could be wrong about
boomers.
Chiefly. criticism has been di-
rected against the encyclical on
account of its plea that Catholic
parents send their sons and daugh-
tiers to Catholic schools.
This Is called IAN attack on the
American public school system and
have received a humber of letters
in which I am accused of cowardice
for not launching a bitter attack
upon the pope.
You're always ready enough to
take slap at anything Protestant"
is the drift of these messages.
But can't get excited about this
portion of the encyclical. In the
first place, it enunciates no new
theory. Every pope, as far back as
I can remember, has always favored
the parochial schools. I think that
this is unfortunate.
1t would be fine thing to have a
public school system which was uni
versal for all American children,
but it is nonsense to say that the at
titude of the Catholic church is the
only barrier. Indeed, I'm in no po-
sition to raise an outcry about this,
since I have never sent my own son
to public school.

The Constitution
MOREOVER, although their ST.

MOREOVER, although their sta
1V1 tuS is not official in many cases,
hundreds of Protestant high schools
and colleges exist in the United
States. The supreme court itself
ruled out an Oregon law which
would have made the public school
the only recognized medium of edu-
cation which limited the parents
choice of school or college.
1t is, therefore, unfair to say that
the pope is attacking all American
institution. I think that all of us
are in the same boat and that all of
us are wrong.
Possibly 1t is worth noting that
a great many Catholic children do
go to the public schools, and will
continue to do so, encyclical or no.
The point in the pope's message
most open to criticism is his atti-
tude upon sex education for the
young. He said:
Every widespread is the error of
those who, with dangerous presump-
tuousness and with ugly words pro-
mote so-called sexual education
falsely believing that they can fore
arm youths against the dangers OF
the senses with purely natural
means, such as foolhardy inaction
and preventive instruction, or, worse
still, by exposing them early in life
to temptations in order to accustom
them, as they say, and harden their
hearts against those dangers.
