Bill Murray Scores a Comeback

Alfalfa Bill Murray scored a great comeback IN his
race for the democratic nomination for governor OF
Oklahoma. He led his nearest rival by O tremendous
majority. His election In November Is q certainty.
He was swept to the head OF the column Of candi-
dates by the democratic farmers Of Oklahoma. This
is his pledge:

high class tenant and make my home and official
headquarters In the garage on the capitol grounds"
Thomas P. Gore was nosed out Of first place In the
senatorial race by c.. J. wrightman.
1t goes without saying that there are Texans who
will feel very much at home when they visit Oklaho-
ma City to pay their respects to Alfalfa Bill In his
bizarre garage establishment on the capitol campus
OF Oklahoma. II is said Of Alfalfa Bill that he Is hon
est to the core. that he keeps his word. that he isn't
much for looks or dress, but that he has been loyal
at al times to the best interest Of the people and that
he has never acknowledged a boss. There Is no land
like this.

Safer Motherhood

In these days OF stock market crashes. drought. and
unemployment, 1t Is interesting to note that one or
two things in the world are improving. The infant
mortality rate is one Of them. According to a report
just issued by the American Child Health Associa-
ton. there were 662 deaths among each thousand
births during 1929.
OF course this number is far too large. Just one
death is an extravagant gesture. But when we con-
slider the fact that in spite Of stock market crashes and
drought and unemployment. the present rate ranks
second to the lowest rate ever recorded for cities in
the United States. we appreciate our national progress.
In 1927, during days OF greater prosperity. the record
ed rate was 64e.
Fifteen years ago the rate was near 100. Today it
has fallen until 1t is only two-thirds Of what 1t was
just after the World War started.
We are approaching. more and more. the sacrifice
and cost which are involved in the creation Of human
life. AS we grow more enlightened we are ~enacting
laws for the promotion Of the welfare Of hygiene Of
maternity and infancy.
1t Is interesting to note that a great deal Of the
legislative work along this line has come about dur
Ing the last ten years. since women have received the
ballot. They are responsible to a large degree for
the passage OF the famous Sheppard Towner Act
which established a federal bureau to carry on ma
ternity research work and disseminate helpful knowl-
edge.
SO long as we are placing a high premium on life,
endeavoring to save 1t. and succeeding in that en-
deavor, our progress Is upward.
Other conditions will improve. They always have.
II we can keep the health Of the nation sound and
continue TO cut down the infant mortality rate, which
used to be such a dragon in our forest, we are pro-
ceeding UP the mountain slope Of achievement.
We are not there. by any matter Of means. Sixty
six and a fraction deaths from every thousand is far
too many. But we have the satisfaction Of knowing
that in spite Of the economical bumps and bruises
OF the present day, We are all agreed that life is dis
tinctly worth saving.

The Once Over
AHoY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CUP RACE
Copyright. 1890. BY The Associated Newspapersl

Sir Thomas Upton. whose vain quests OF the Ameri-
cas- cup have put him in the always-a-bridesmaid-
but-never "a bride class. has arrived in this country,
and the next big sporting event will take place off;
Newport when two minion-dollar sailing yachts en-
gage in a series Of tests to see which is more brittle.
After a ~ten-years interval an international cup
race is again at hand off our coast. If 1t does nothing
else it will give President Hoover an opportunity to
take a census OF yacht owners and prove that. despite
the business recession. there are more yachts under
the Hoover administration than there ever were under
a Democratic regime.
Yachtsmen regard an international cup race with
the same enthusiasm as a baseball fan regards a
worlds series, and already q big boom Is reported in
our yachting cap, blue flannel coat, duck pants,
binoculars. cocktail shaker and punch bowl indus
tries.
1t was the aim Of the Republican party to put a
yacht In every home. The ambition might have been
realized II Roger Babson hadn't gone garrulous last
September. Even at that, 1t is surprising how many
Americans are able to 60 in for the most expensive Of
sports.
The international races may provide the big psyche
logical punch necessary to restore prosperity. It will
be impossible to look at all those costly yachts max
ing whoopee on the sidelines and still feel that money
is hard to get in this country.
If President Hoover's industrial commission wants
to restore confidence 1t should move TO have the races
transferred closer to the shore and nearer to the
masses. BY planning to hold the races off Newport
the yachtsmen are making them almost a private
event.
Ten years ago the Upton cup hunt was held off
New York, where there was also q chance the no.
ponoi might get a glance at the race from a ferryboat,
tug. coal barge, garbage scow, oil tanker, raft, fishing
pier or rowboat.
The races that year were a big disappointment 10
the yachtsmen, however. because Of the fact that
common people had been able TO get a peep or two
at the racing boats. 1t is pretty heartbreaking 70
realize that a lot Of people who don't know a spinnak-
er from q MILDLY blouse and whose sea life has been
limited to excursion boats are getting in on an event
you are attending on a twin-screw yacht costing you
$4,000 every time you lift the anchor.
In previous cup races there have been such curious
time allowances and committee rules that one yacht
might lead its rival over the line by half a day and
be declared the loser on the ground the skipper wore
the wrong hat and had snapped a garter.
So the element Of mystery will be removed and the
public should get some good clean fun out Of the
races, even by hearsay.
