Racing in the Old DAYS

FL 4 " xGQC1llk y VIlC OAN lays
Now that Sir Thomas Lipton's final effort to put the
worlds fastest yacht under his own flag has failed. and
the glittering creation Of American dollars has triumph
ed once more, it can hardly be treason or heresy to re-
mark that these ~sea-going contests would have seemed
excessively tame to both Americans and E~ngMshmcn Of
a former generation.
Consider this last yacht race. for instance: millions Of
dollars were spent, and hundreds OF thousands OF care
fully chosen words were ~spattered over newspaper pages
throughout the world-merely to discover that one deli
cate and costly continuance OF steel. wood and canvas
could cover so miles In some nine minutes less than an
other similar contrivance.
This knowledge may be worth having: but an earlier
day saw races under sail that were races, and knew
how to glory in them. The deep sea shippers OF the
fifties Of the last century reached the all-time high wa
ter mark in nautical contests, and it is hardly the fault
of Sir Thomas and MI. Vanderbilt If ones mind automat-
ically deserts their gay regatta for the titanic combats
of the old days.
There were the tea clippers, for instance: slim, long
spared cargo vessels built for speed, that raced all the
way from China to Liverpool, and dared death to do it.
Once six clippers set sail from a Chinese port for Liver
pool, resolved to make a race of 1t. They slid down the
China sea. past Java Head and down into the Indian
ocean, sailed around the Cape Of Good Hope and came
cracking, up the Atlantic-and, at the end. the winner
had a margin of precisely IL minutes over the ship that
came in second!
Then there were the races in the California trade. with
American clippers striving to beat one another on the
long run from San Francisco to New York. Their skip
pers had worldwide reputation for their daring: they
cracked on sail in a gale of wind with the slogan, what
she can't carry she may drag; they rounded Cape Horn
in mid-winter, with the sea full Of floating ice cakes and
a 6o-mile gale blowing for weeks at a time: and now and
then the victor, reaching New York, waited in vain for
his opponent to come into port.
There were great speed records then, too; a ship like
the Sovereign Of the Seas, for example, could reel off 20
knots, hour after hour, and did it as part of the job and
not just as a stunt. All of those races, in fact, were in
the line Of duty. Speed was essential, and the ship-de-
signers and shipmastegs provided it without counting
the cost.
All Of that is over, now, and has been for decades.
But the struggle between the Enterprise and the Sham
rock recalls it. somehow-and makes one long for the
old days.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
THE HOLY

On Sept. 26, 1915, the Holy Alliance
was formed between Russia, Austria
and Prussia.
The league was formed after the
fall Of Napoleon. at the insistence OF
Alexander I Of Russia, to regulate
the relations of the states Of Chris
tendon by the principles Of Christian
charity.
Alexander drew up the document
which was signed by the three rulers
in Paris. In addition to the original
signatortes, Naples, Sardinia, France
and Spain acceded to the treaty. It
received the commentator, but not
the signature of the Prince Regent Of
Great Britain.
The document was formally made
public the following year. AS formed
in the mind Of Alexander, the league
was the scheme of an idealist, but ii

Suppression and the Press

The action Of the government Of Ontario in placing a
news ban on the Toronto Star as a measure of reprisal
for the Stars action in refusing to retract q certain news
story about the cabinets reorganization will interest
newspaper editors below the border as well as in Canada.
Just how great the provocation was in this case is
not clear, at this distance. Nevertheless, it can be said
that any Recommendations, provincial or municipal
that tries to gag a newspaper is taking a serious step.
q step moreover which can hardly end in anything but
failure.
The thing has been tried before, and it has never
worked. A live newspaper will get the news regardless
Of opposition: and in the end the agency that tries to
suppress it suffers from a recoil of its own autocratic
methods. rs

Politics is . road with many peculiar twists and turns.
Not the strangest among them Is the fact that the
Hoover administration, triumphantly elected in 1928 with
an overwhelming majority, now appears to feel itself
on the defensive.
This latter fact was first noticeable in Bismarck when
an assistant attorney general Of the United States. adj
dressing the American Legion state convention, pleaded
for support for the president and limited that his troubles
at Washington have been multiplying.
There have been other straws in the wind. too. Re-
Gently the Republican National COMMITTEES sent out q
pamphlet warning against the deviush plots which were
being Matched by q publicity man in the hire Of the
Democratic national committee. This evil genius is sup
posed to put into the mouths' Of Democratic leaders
all the unkind things they say about the Republican ad-
from the Republicans and some from the Democrats,
which show that fresh blood is daily being spilled In the
political arena.
The latest addition to the current political literature
is a booklet entitled Hoover Administration Carries out
Party Pledges" and issued by the Republican National
committee. It is published In support Of the Hoover
record, Of course. but is noteworthy In that 1t is q fairly
temperate and not too biased statement Of the work
done during the first l6 months of the Hoover admins
tration.
An o~pen-minded man rarely gets all his
from one side Of any question which may be In dispute,
and yet this document leaves very few loophcles fol
the Democrats. Where achievements have been note
worthy it, Of course. says 50 gladly. Where results have
been mediocre it contents itself with telling what has
been done. *
The party pledges listed in the booklet are IS in num-
Der. In one column is set forth what the pledge was. In
the next adjoining column is q recital Of what has been
done BY way Of redeeming the pledge.
Only one plank. that relating to 1.-THE Negro" stands
alone without some record Of accomplishment to keep
1t company. The latter plank pledged the admin:stra-
ton to support IN anti-lynchins law 80 that the full in.
fluence Of the federal government may be welded to
exterminate this hideous crime AS yet nothing has
been done about 1t.
But about such things as public economy, finance and
taxation. public debt. tax reduction. tariff and the 9TH
er items in the list Of "a. ending with home rule as ap
Piled to the relative powers Of the state and the federal
government, q good deal is set forth.
And 1t gives the average person q pretty fair picture
Of the first l6 months Of Mr.. Hoovers work. I. shows
Hoover IS . hard-working. painstaking. conscientious
American citizen. trying to do wen the job which the
people OF this nation have given him.
Few persons are hatling Mr.. Hoover now in the same
fulsorae terms which were used In 1919. That is not to be

The BRAND plan for q United States Of Europe met
with a discouraging reception. On every side there are
the potentialities which make for trouble. Italy and
France are still at odds. Friction between Germany and
Poland has grown Of late. and friction with Poland, of
course. means friction with France. The Germans have
not given up their so-called claim to the Danzig corridor
taken away from them in the Versailles treaty. They
say they will seek to recover it by peaceful means but
there is small prospect that this could be accomplished

old Austrian empire are still glowering at one another,
and are being used as pawns on the diplomatic chess

Or in some other binding way. They profess to believe
that we could stabilize the situation, and yet in almost
the same breath they demand the cutting down Of our

The fact Is that Uncle Sam could only WELD power with
an army and navy in Europe. And we are not anxious
to use these. Any attempts to settle things through
moral suasion would be fouted as they were flouted by
Russia when Uncle Sam sought to call the soviet gov
ernment's attention to the Kellogg Pact, in the Chinese
problem.
The way for Uncle Sam to get peace is to stay out Of
all e~ntangllng commitments and keep his navy in good
condition, Is good Is the best. This will not make It

One Worth While

There are weeks on the American calendar and still
other weeks.
AS the calendar makers know 1t. a week is a unit OF
time composed Of seven days and the term Is USED 10
denote relationship with other time.
American business, however, has made Of the week
something entirely different. When one speaks OF q
week he sometimes feels that he has to explain he rs
old-fashioned and is not referring to whatever the cur
rent promotional effort may be.
There are weeks for the observance OF this, and weeks
for the observance of that. Some OF the ideas whlcn
the weeks present are interesting. Others have as their
only merit whatever advantage accrues to the systems
or industries promoting them.
However, every 50 often q week" comes along which Is
different from the rest and which deserves special at
tention.
National fire prevention week. to be celebrated from
October S to II, is such a one. During that week every
branch Of industry, every division Of the commercial
world. every organization, association and society. publ
cations, churches and schools are expected to join IN
the work Of promoting fire prevention as a means OF re-
ducing the tremendous loss of life and property which
occurs annually in the United States from uncontrolled
flames.
Fire prevention week is one which every citizen really
can observe in a definite way. In the hundreds OF
movements and weeks which are called to our atten-
ton, the average citizen can do little to participate. He
might buy a bale Of cotton. eat an apple on demand, or
send flowers to his mother-in-law. but It would mean
relatively little to him whether or not he did so.
With fire prevention week, however, the situation Is
reversed. Everyone must live somewhere and, wherever
he lives, he can take the trouble to analyze possible
causes Of fire and check up on them. II one lives In q
house, he can make sure that the basement is clean and
free from refuse which might possibly sustain ~spontane-
GUS combustion. If his electric wiring is unsafe he can
have it attended to. II he lives in an apartment OF
building, he can make sure as to what he would do Ia
case Of fire to save his own life and the lives Of members
Of his family.
The point Of it all is that fire is q thing which will
use up a great deal of prevention. Against 1t one can
never be too well prepared.
The great majority Of disastrous fires are tho result Of
carelessness. ignorance and neglect. These things. trans
lated into licking tongues Of flame, cost this nation a
huge sum annually in life and treasure.
Fire prevention week is directed at these enemies o
the public and personal good. For that reason 1t is one
Of noteworthy merit.
And besides, the observance Of fire-prevention week
now may be the means Of preventing q funeral tomor.
