Beware of Labels

Most interesting of all the phases OF the
present primary campaign IS the fact that
many Republican candidates are attempting
to obtain votes on the simple plea that they
have quarreled with Coffin.
Taken alone, such plea means nothing.
The candidates would demand more con-
sideration if they made it very clear why
they quareled and when.
Some of the candidates now hold office.
Some of them obtained these Offices under
the regime of Coffin Others got into Office
against his will.
These officials have only one proper plea
to the voters and that is that their records
in public office are such as to entitle them to
further confidence and guarantee to the
people the kind of service that is demanded.
Unless these officials can establish such
claim, their pleas that they have quareled
with the former boss Of the Republican party
is meaningless.
In the Forthcoming primary it is necessary
to exercise unusual care in the selection Of
candidates. There should be two tickets of
equal strength so that the independent citi-
zen would care but little as to which is the
winner in the fall
Within the Republican party there is
contest of factions. Not all the men who
offer themselves as opponents of Coffin have
records which suggest any betterment in the
public service.
If there is to be new deal in that party,
the voters should be assured that they are
not merely trading one machine for another
and eevating those whose interest is inspired
by their hatreds and jealousies rather than
by an honest desire to serve the people.
There are many Offices in which change
is highly desirable. There is inefficiency and
worse. There are some who can easily be
spared.
If there is to be new deal, it should be
complete. 1t should not be merely a change
of masters. 1t should begin by the demand
for a new attitude toward public office in
which service and honesty are the chief
qualities.
This is a good year to beware of labels
of any sort.

hanson bill which would have given the executive
power to consolidate, eliminate or redistribute'
functions of the bureaus
This means the pension bureau, If the bill finally
becomes law, will continue an entity as will the
veterans bureau. Opinion was divided widely, but
the house apparently feared that veterans Of the
Civil and Spanish American wars might suffer the
pension bureau absorbed
There is no desire the part Of the house to let
any veterans suffer Legislation continually is being
liberalized and appropriations are being increased
The house. for instance next week will consider the
johnson bill to advanc efrom 1921 to 1925 the time
at which veterans may claim compensation for as
much as 10 per cent disability
1t is estimated this would cost 500 900 year
The Rankin bill would advance the date five years
further and might cost S4O0O00000 The Wick bill
would establish a pension system by giving World
war veterans permanently disabled from $40 to $50
a month.
It seems apparent that creation Of a World War
pension system is only matter of time. Already
sl63 100000 year being paid out compensation
and S33OOOOO0 goes to dependents. Representative
Royal johnson of the World war veterans committee
said in debate that pension system was inevitable
and Representative Cranton Of the pension commit
tee regarded the proposed consolidation as foun-
dalton for pensions.
When pensions are established, present appropria-
lions will be vastly increased. Already third of in
veterans in years to come doubt will cost the
country more than the itself for the public will
continue to insist on liberality.

Freedom Falters

The lot Of literature has been hard one in the
Athens of America. Scores of books, by world
famous authors, have been banned by the Boston
censors, who work hand in hand with the police.
Among them was Theodore Dreiser's monumental
American Tragedy" The vendor of this volume is
under sentence.
Under the law that controlled Mr.. Deiser's case,
the defendant could not introduce the book whole
in the test of "obscenity The jury had to decide on
tried in vain to pitch the consideration on THE
American Tragedy" as whole.
A new censorship law just has been passed and
signed in Massachusetts, In the senate the bill spe-
officially degnated that book should be prohibited
as obscene unless it taken whole. The bill
actually passed and signed omitted the words taken
as whole"
Liberals in Massachusetts, while disappointed
with the new bill, contend that it will allow judge
to permit consideration of the entire book In future
censorship cases. But it apparently will require de-
cison of the Massachusetts supreme court to decide
this matter.
If the supreme court rules that the judge may order
the reading of the whole book this will be gain for
Massachusetts, but it will constitute victory
for freedom of publication In the majority OF our
states where here no specific statute it is the usual
practice of the judges to order consideration Of the
entire book.
This is done that the passages alleged to be vu-
nerable can be viewed in their relation to the work
as a whole At best Massachusetts, is only catching
up with the enlightened practice elsewhere.

Party Is Split

TOR ten years. the Democratic
IL party has been so divided over
prohibition that it could not mobilize
its full strength, much less formulate
a constructive program.
Because of the unfavorable re-
action to certain war measures, the
Republican party has been able to
hold itself together, but now it, too
faces dissension, discord, and
possible disruption for precisely the
same reason.
n II r
Politicians talk about the wisdom
of holding a referendum, but they
have not given us a chance, and
they do not intend to this time, il
they can avoid it.
1t is quite true that they have
been handicapped by the presence
of a thoroughly organized minority
of drys in each party.
That, however, is exactly the kind
of handicap democracy was designed
to overcome.
Political leaders only confess their
weakness and cowardice when they
represent the Anti-Saloon league OF
any similar organization, as hold
ing them up.

Editor Times:-Mr. Rappaport
made this statement in The Times
Of April S: Our action for or
against the dry laws should take
into consideration the Literary
Digest poll" This being the case,
he also should consider the Liter
airy Digest poll of 1922 on the Vol
stead law, when the straw vote in
the factories showed the same result
as it does at this time. He might
also consider the elections that fol-
lowed 1922, when dry senator's and
congressman were elected through
out the nation.
He also might consider this vote
in some Of our states on the
referendum for light wines and
beer: Defeated in Michigan, $780,
900; in Ohio, 10000; Washington,
10000; Colorado. $4,000; Oregon,
$4,000, and in Alaska and Porto
Rico prohibition was ratified at
the polls by large majoritieS.
Out Of 5000 counties, 1880 voted
dry. Forty-one of our states have
at one time or another adopted
statewide prohibition. At the time
the eighteenth amendment went
into effect, thirty-thr states had
statewide prohibition and forty
six states cut of forty-eight ratified
the eighteenth amendment.

8tt E2z4:
HENRY CLAY'S BIRTH
April IL

.ON April II, 1777, Henry Clay,
" noted American statesman, was
born in Hanover county, Virginia
When 20 he was admitted to the
bar, and nine years later was a
member of the United States senate.
Almost at once he became a ma
tional figure, showing great ability
in debates and as member Of i'm
portant committees.
A strong advocate Of nationality,
he denounced the claims set forth
by England as to the right of
search. He was a strenuous sup
porter Of the war with that country
and in consequence was sent in 1914
as one of the commissioners to sign
the treaty Of peace at Client.
Clay, however, is best known as
the author of the famous Missouri
Compromise" which for the time
insured harmonious relations be-
tween the north and south. For this
he was called the Great Pacif1ca-
tor"
Although he was unsuccessful as
a presidential aspirant, Clay was a
powerful party chief, welding IN
surpassed influence not only over
his friends, but also over his po-
litical antagonists. Lincoln called
him "the beau ideal Of states
man"

Politics or Craftsmanship

1t Is important to have the facts about the nature
and extent of unemployment The length of the
bread line not be ignored. 1t is also well to
make the issue vivid by human interest stories,
recounting the suffering and anguish of those in the
bread line But more important than either of these
is the question of what propose to do about it.
The dreamers will talk about the necessity for
the thorough-goi reconstruction of our economic
motives and institutions. We must manufacture for
human service and not for individual profit We must
adopt birth control program which will keep the
population down to a level which can be employed
permanently,
Such dreams of the future may contain the only
ultimate solution of unemployment. But in the
meantime something must be done about it within
our existing order.
First step toward some effective action will be
honestly to recognize unemployment when it exists
and to admit that periods of severe unemployment
are likely to recur all too frequently. Once this is
granted we shall be more ready to provide perrna-
nent and effective machinery to reduce the volume
Of unemployment at all times and to handle it more
effectively in periods of special stress.
The chief obstacle to such sensible procedure Is
our system Of partisan politics. Each of the old line
parties angles for support on the ground that its
victory will guarantee prosperity Therefore it is not
eager to admit the possibility of impending depression
and unemployment
The political technique is first to deny that wide
spread unemployment is possible. When it comes,
the politician of the ruling party must deny its
istence. When they forced to admit its reality,
they must get out from under by minimizing its
tent by declaring that it practically has passed. and
by asserting that it return while the party
remains in power
It would be the way Of true craftsmanship to
face the facts promptly and decisively. Facing the
facts the statesman would endeavor to ascertain
what can be done here and to lessen the present
suffering and to prevent its temperance on such
scale again In the Facts for Workers for March,
the labor bureau puts the issue squarely up to Mr.
Hoover in the following manner:
IN spite Of the fact that Mr.. Hoover began to
get expert advice as to what sort OF institutions ought
to be set up to with unemployment back in 1922.
soon after the start Of the Harding administration,
very little progress has been made in building these
institutions under Harding. Coolidge or Hoover
himself.
yet this is the third unemployment crisis since
1922 How long shall we have to wait until the
dominant forces in the United States cease trying
to pretend that each crisis it arrives is not serious,
that it will be over and that nothing needs to
be done because we shall not have another?
~How long shall have to depend solely on
emergency measures taken after the crisis arrives?
When shall we have co-ordinated national system
Of public employment exchanges, unemployment in
surance and other permanent agencies to stabilize
employment"

American Diet Grows Much Lighter

cause of the increase in the num-
Der of automobiles and elevators
and the general decline in physical
output after one becomes of age
we are likely to need less and less
reproducing foods.
The laboratories of modern sci
ence are developing concentrated
foods which are rich in vitamins
concentrated products that contain
all necessary mineral salts and
pure fats and sugars which yield
much energy in comparatively
small amounts.
Obviously the continuous use OF
such food products will interfere
with the use of the teeth for chew
ing and of the long digestive tract
necessary for digestion and assimi-
lation.
It seems likely that the man of
the distant future may be entirely
different in his construction from
the man of today.

precisely where the ball will go
when he steps up to hit. Of course,
there is, upon occasion, some slight

Golf in the case of Bobby Jones

whales the ball a mile and then
he takes an iron and pops it up to

Bunked by Prohibition

XTHEN you get right down to
w brass tacks, lack of personal
courage is mainly responsible for the
peculiar part prohibition has played
in American politics.
Because an amendment was writ
ten into the Constitution: because
the Volstead act was passed to back
it up; because of the bang with
which the whole movement came to
a climax, most politicians have
fallen for the idea that they faced
a power that could and would de-
stroy them if they opposed it.
Many of them, though detesting
the law. and though willing to admit
that they had no respect for it in
private, have stood on the platform
and defended it because they
thought that was the only way to
win.
1t IS doubtful If this country,S
political history can show such an
example of illusionment on the one
hand, or lack of independence on
the other.
To state it bluntly, our whole po-
litical lineup has been bunked and
misled by the sponsors of prohi-
