No Excuse for DELAY

What more can be done to blast loose the world
court protocol from the White House no one knows
The President has held it for year. During all that
time he has refused to send it to the senate where
it belongs
And yet he says he favors American adherence
to the court Just his Republican predecessors gave
the project lip service without action
Most of the national organizations interested in
peace have appealed repeatedly to Mr.. Hoover to
cease this delay which is costly to Americas rep
utaton abroad and which is adding to fears in
Europe Many individuals. senators and Others have
made similar appeals for him to do his plain duty
by sending the protocol to the senate.
Now 100 prominent and representative Americans
have made a further plea to Hoover the eve of
the Presidents message and the opening of congress
The sgners include such persons as General Pershing
Julius II. Barnes Harry Emerson Fosdick, Newton D.
Baker. Julius Rosenwald Admiral Sims, Thomas w
Lamont, Roy w. Howard, John W. Davis, Alanson B
Houghton William Allen White Daniel o. Willard
sias Fl. strawn.
Their petition states the case briefly, fairly and
in our judgment-unanswerably
I'VE. the undersigned American citizens. believe
it is important for the honor and well-being of our
country that the United States should adhere prompt
y to the permanent court of international justice at
The Hague commonly known the world court.
I'VE believe that the rights and safety of the
United States protected amply in the protocols of
adherence which have been signed by your direction
and which conform to the policies of your predeces-
sors-Presidents Mckinley. Roosevelt Taft, Wilson,
Harding and Coolidge-n furtherng world court for
settlement of legal disputes between nations.
we pledge you our support if you will submit the
protocols to the senate, asking for prompt ratification
We believe that such action taken by the United
States during the coming winter will be of great
huence in building up good will and confidence among
al nations" <
That statement is representative of the opinion of
great majority of the American people of the press
and of the senate
If President Hoover viii send the protocols to the
senate and insist prompt action he will get it. But
unless Hoover will make this an administration issue
it is apt to drag on for years in defiance of the
known wishes of the American people.

THANKSGIVING
November q

ON Nov. q, 1921, after the Pill
" grims had been in the New
World for nearly year, Cover
nor Bradford decreed a day of
Thanksgiving and rejoicing after
the scanty crop had been gathered
in. This was the first Thanksgiv-
ing day celebrated in America.
Since then, the day has been
recognized annually by the Presi-
dent of the United States and
the Governors of all the states as
day to be observed for giving
thanks to God for the favors and
mercies of the year past.
Until the Civil war, the cele-
bration of the day was merely a
state affair. During that war it
was suspended for a time. but in
1864, President Lincoln issued a
proclamation appointing the fourth
Thursday in November as a ma
tional Thanksgiving day.
When Lincoln was assassinated
the rule almost passed out of ex-
istence, but the succeeding Presi-
dents took it up, and since then
Thanksgiving has been Observed
regularly throughout the United
States.
The proclamation by the Presi-
dent is sent to the Governors Of
the different states, each Of whom
issues corresponding proclamation
for his own state. i

D L A COM ~, FREDERICK
AN11 AOOA Lands

IT is good news that comes from Washington that
L Indiana is to lose only member of congress,
instead Of two, as expected, but this does not
diminish the reapportionment task which confronts
the next legislature
For the sake of other important business to come
before the law makers as we'll as the sake Of fair
play both parties should come to an understanding
and agree upon a reapportionment which is fair to
everybody.
Failure to do this means the election of all twelve
representatives at large party getting all OF them
But the partisan element is not the only obstacle
to reapportionment, as gentlemen serving in
congress will exert themselves to keep from being
thrown into districts with their associates, which
would mean conflict in the next primary.
CPEAKING of the primary law, it has been life
~ saver for members Of congress, and two years
ago when the state feature of the primary law was
repealed the congressman to it that the primary
law was retained, insofar as it applied to them.
Indiana has had delegation of men who have
served for longer time than they did under the old
system Of delegate conventions
When delegates did the nominating it con-
slant fight to stay in Office. for rivals could tie up
their own counties and create deadlock in the
vention
MYTH the primary method Of nominations the
w man who is in has great advantage over all
do not recall one single where congressman has
been defeated for denomination unless he has tried
for denomination after having been defeated at the
polls.
There has been some talk of a restoration of the
statewide feature of the primary law by the next
sion of the legislature but this effort probably would
meet with the combined opposition of the leaders of
both parties for the most of them we're for the re-
peal of the state wide feature two years ago.
Indiana is one Of the few states which has repealed
in whole or in part the primary method of nom-
nations even such conservative states as New York
and New Jersey clnging to it without thought Of
change.

Adam and Jim Crow

INDEED, no such long course of
4 training is necessary. Every one
of us on occasion has seen the ma
ture Of an individual change almost
overnight.
The nature Of animals is easily
subject to change, or there would
be no lion tanners or trained seals.
Some men take great pride in race
prejudice and seem to think that
they are being faithful to an inner
instinct which has existed from the
beginning of time. They profess to
believe that before Adam there was
jim Grow.
And yet no human prejudice
among the species is so well defined
as that old antipathy which lies be-
tween the dog and the cat. That,
I will admit, is matter Of instinct.
I do not think the dog is mott
waited by conscious theory that he
is some scrt of Nordic to whom the
world quite rightfully belongs. Just
without thinking of the matter at
all, he doesn't like cats, and as soon
as he sees one he takes steps to
demonstrate his distrust and hatred.
Some of the large and f1ercer cats
are quite ready to meet him half
way, and even those which run away
do SO merely with the hope that
they may live to fight another day.

Investigators working in labora-
tories are turning their attention
from the preparation of liver ex-
tracts that are of special value in
pernicious anenia to combinations
that will be especially valuable in
the treatment of secondary anenlia

Because of the well-known value
of iron in the treatment of second

tracts of liver and Of iron are being
prepared which may serve the ex-
ceedingly useful purpose of taking
the place of whole liver.
There are not so many forms in
which whole liver may be modified

IT SEEMS TO ME BY H BEo23S

A CCORDING to the last reports,
L n with only a few election dis
tricts missing, the human race is
one hundred million years old to-
day. I trust that it will celebrate
its birthday quietly.
OF course, it might as well be a
billion as far as grasping the figure
goes. In the upper brackets the
mind merely translates any such
span of years simply into "a very
long time"
But by taking thought, one can
draw some consolation from evil
dence Of such a protracted ten
ancy. If the earth has endured us
SO long, it well may be that we have
another million yet to do. At the
very least, any landlord owes us an
aeon's notice.
It seems to me that some of our
stubborn theories will not stand up
against the weight of years. Even
though the world were no more
than a STRIPPING of million or so,
I would have no faith in that IA
miliar one which runs, "You can't
change human nature"

European Visitors

A GENERATION ago, American
n scientists went abroad to COM
plete their education. They still do,
but now, in addition, European
scientists come to America for the
same reason.
In other words, scientific work in
the United States is on the same
plane as that of Europe. and the
European scientist is as eager to see
how things are done in America as
the American scientist is to find
how they are done in Europe.
During the last ten years, there
has been a steady stream of Euro
pean astronomers and physicists to
Pasadena to visit the Mt. Wilson
observatory and the California In
stitute of Technology. "a few years
ago, when it was my good fortune
to spend several weeks at the obser-
vatory, I found that there were a
number Of distinguished European
visitors in Pasadena)
The Mt. Wilson observatory is
great for two reasons-its personnel
and it's equipment
The honorary director of the OBJ
servatory-the man who designed
the observatory and was its first di-
rector-is DR.. George Ellery Hale.
Hale is the inventor of the spec
rotheliograph, the instrument which
has made it possible to discover
more about the structure and ma
ture Of the sun during the last
thirty years than was known about
the sun in the previous 5000.
Present director of the observa-
tory is DR.. Walter s. Adams, whose
development of a means of calculat-
ing the distances of very distant
stars has been a powerful aid to the
modern astronomer and without
which much of the present develop
ment Of our knowledge Of the stars
could not have taken place.

Big Telescopes

THE ca. t...an CT Tie executive
l. committee of the California
Institute of Technology is DR.. Robert
A. AIillikan, Nobel prize winner, the
first scientist to isolate the electron.
and the man who confirmed the
existence of the cosmic rays.
DR.. Millikan also is director Of the
Norman Bridges laboratory. one Of
a number of laboratories which
compose the institute.
In past years, DR.. Millikan has
brought many famous European
scientists to his laboratory. These
men have been attracted to it be-
cause of the high type of work
which DR.. Millikan and his asso-
ciates have been doing.
Just as the Mt. Wilson observa-
tory possesses apparatus which IS in
some respects superior to that OF
any other Intuition in the world
so the California Institute of Tech
nology in many ways surpasses other
institutions in its equipment.
A few years ago, when was IN
Europe, time and again some Euro
pean scientist would say to me, If
we only had the money to spend on
equipment that you have in Amer
lea. If we only had telescopes like
Mt. Wilson"
The Mt. Wilson observatory, of
course, possesses the worlds largest
telescope. the 100-inch reflector
The California Institute of Tech
nology now has a committee at
work planning one twice as large
a 200-inch reflector.
The Mt. Wilson people are CO
operating with the institute, and
DR.. Hale is serving as chairman of
its observatory committee.
