Death for Hopelessly I'LL
Urged By Homeopaths

CHICAGO, May 8 GN.SD. l..
The method of painless death,
scientifically termed euthanasia,
was advocated yesterday for imbe-

ircurable diseases, in a resolution
submitted by members Of the

The resolution was presented
to the convention Of the associa-

to the legislative committee for
presentation to the forthcoming
general assembly of the oSgani-

Controversy over the method Of
painless death has prevailed in

TRAIN KILLS 5
ON SCHOOL BUS;
81 INJURED
Doctors Rushed by Plane
to Operate on Children;
Driver Says Brakes Failed

MERGED, Calf, May 8 GN.S0'
Five separate inquiries were un
der way here today to place the
blame for a collision between a
Santa Fe railroad freight train
and a school bus.
Three children we're killed out
right, two died a few hours after
the crash, two others are not ex'
pected to live, and 30 others were
injured, Is of them seriously.
The driver of the bus, F. D.
Kregger, was in a state of coma
early today, but was Nexpected to
live.
Went Past Signal
Witnesses said the bus plunged
through the wig-waging warning
signal directly into the path of the
slow-rnoving train.
Every dOc.Or in Merced, and
two who rushed here by airplane
from San Francisco, operated on
the tiny victims while their fran
tic parents sought to get into the
Mercy Hospital.
The dead: Dolores Epsen, g.;
Billy Epsen. her brother, z; Jean.
etc Abr, s.; Robert Fuller, 8, and
Marshal Pritel, 7.
Those not expected to live:
Jean Cakes, 9. and Muriel Keller, 8.
W. z. Wicklund, a witness to
the accident, said the bus slowed
down but didn't completely stop at
the crossing. He said the warn
ing signal was working.
Other witnesses asserted that
the bus drove through the signal
without slackening speed, and
that the driver applied the brakes
when the car was in the middle
Of the tracks.
Before lapsing into uncon-
seiouSness, Kregger mumbled
something about brakes that
wouldn't hold"
Train Moving Slowly
Members of the train crew and
other witnesses declared the
train was not moving at more
than eight miles an hour when
the collision occurred.
The bus was carrying pupils
from the John c. Fremont School
to their homes. The grade cross
ing where the accident occurred
is about four blocks from the
school.
Mr.. Vicklund said:
1--WE could hear the screams
of the children and the shrek
of the brakes as the engineer
tried to stop the train.
"At least two of the children
were thrown through the win
dOws of the bus and fell III.
rectly under the wheels Of the
train"

Putting Out The Fire

There is no blinking the situation in eastern Asia. What has been going on there is war. Japan has been fighting aggressively without a formal declaration of hostilities and China. also without formal declaration. has been fighting back, Here is fire that may spread It may spread first to Russia, which has many reasons for hating and fear ing Japan, and which may decide to befriend China as the wolf befriended Little Red Rid inghood. A big fire becomes whirlpool. Others powers may be sucked in as they were during the World war. All have in- terests in the Far East or think they have. Combatants anywhere cannot fight now adays without trespassing on other nations front yards or back yards, interfering with their business and pleasure, challenging their inaliensble rights and ruffling their self respect. sT$
 It lis time to stop this war. The League of Nations, right now having it's supreme test is in the best position to act. If 1t fails to act couraseously. all the prestige gained by "a dozen years of growing service to the world may be lost. The United States also must act. A eonflagration right across our western seas is of as much con- cern to us as to any European power It IS not a time for preserving amenities or sav- ing faces, but for putting out fire.
 You can stop a fire by isolating it. The fire stops spreading for lack of stuff to feed on Perhaps the best encircling device in this case would be an economic blockade general refusal to buy from or sell to either beligerent until they quit fighting and sub mitted their differences to peaceful adjudi- cation, as they are required to do by their treaties. This poleiy would apply with special force to Japan, which cannot live without trade, and cannot long make war without it. . Hi. ....5

 In short Mir Gamer believes as do most ot the democrats of the nation that the present Hoover administration doesn't necessarily hold the solution of the future in its hands. As far as it can it will cooperate. But where it can see an opportunity to introduce its own ideas on national or international! topics it certainly will do SO. If this can be termed a hinderance then make the most of it. Again echoing Mir Garner, We will not take the position for which. incidentally. we have adequate republican precedent that be- cause proposal emanates from the White House it is thereby automatically damned. Nor will we accept the hypothesis that be- cause of such origin it is automatically sanctified. ..."

On The Up and Up

There is no longer any doubt about it. Business has changed for the better. The curve has turned up. Nearly all the usual indexes show it. Wheat and other grains have risen notably. Cotton has risen. Oil has risen. Commodities in general follow the trend Employment has been inereas- ing at a time of year when normally de- crease would be expected. There IS more production in the basic steel industry, more life in the closely related motor industry. more activity in nearly all the industries
 The wave of financial fear seems to have passed. People have almost stopped drawing money out of banks and hoardng 1t in safe deposit boxes or bureau drawers. Credit, recently tightening until it threatened to choke the life out of business. has relaxed. New financial machinery is expected to pro- vide liberal flow of funds before long. and the mere anticipation of it has relaxed the purse strings. There is prospect of many closed bank reopening, of frozen real estate being thawed, of new credits based on more rational handling of real estate mortgages. of new wave of construction, especially home building, of new buying of almost every form of merchandise by na- ton that has used up and wotn out tens of billions of dollars worth of stuff.
 Revival will be slow. There will be oc- casional declines again It is well to have no false hopes. But the important and re-. assuring fact is that general improvement has really begun. We are at last on the up and up instead of the down and down. From all reasonable differences, next year should be good As for ripping, roaring prosperity. we can do without that sort of thing for a while.

DIRT ROADS CREDIT
fHartforii Ti1nes)


 Button, button, who has the. credit flor the -dirt ,-roads -law?' seemS to be Q popular game at the moment. During the recent cam paign for the October town elec- tions, Governor Cross went down to Fairfield county to help demo- crats meet the republican claim that 1t was the Grand Old Party which was solely responsible TOT the legislation.
 And, now, Miss Katharine Byrne tells a New Britain D. A. R. chap ter that the dirt road act was agreed upon by the representatives of the dirt road association in con- ference with myself and two or three republican members of the house, no democrat having any thing to do with the passage of this particlar legislation"
 We do not doubt that Miss Byrne is strictly accurate in her discussion of the manner in which the dirt roads bill was prepared and passed. But her statement by no means tells the whole story. That would show that Governor Cross and the democratic party had a great deal to do with the legislation. But for them a dirt roads bill very likely would not have passed at all.
 Dirt roads legislation made no progress in the legislature in lszs. The republican organization was not in favor of it in 1881. However, large section of the republican party demanded 1t and many rural republican members of the legis- lature were determined that they would not be held off again. They probably did not constitute, Q ma jority on the republican side. Tnen the democrats threw their weight into the fray on the side with tne dirt road republicans. The re. publican organization found itseiI a,a faced with the pecessity of yield ing to the clamor or taking q beat ing. It yielded and the dirt roads bill became law The prime req. s. son for 1t was the fact that the democrats got behind the dirt road republicans and gave the shove that produced results.

MT. Garner Is Right

Republicans are gradually beginning to admit that their chances of organizing the
 House of Representatives when Congress eonvenes for its 72nd session on December 7 are slim. With this in mind there has
 been steady procession of the more promi-
 nent and powerful members of the g.o.p' congressional delegation to and from the office of Representative John Garner of Texas in Washington this past week. Mir Garner is at present the minority leader of the democratic party in Congress and the likely Speaker should his party control the
 House.
 The administration has not admitted its
 concern over the fact that republican control of the House is at an end, but it IS apparent
 in the overtures that are now being made to
 Mir Garner. We are glad to note that while
 Mir Garner is giving an attentive ear to all
 who visit his office he is not promising to
 hold his party to any program that President
 Hoover or the republican party may have ready for Congress to pass immediately after
 it opens sessions this year. We do admit the need of attention to such pressing legis- ation as unemployment relief, ward debt tIe HdtlOHdl IIeull DdHh, etS'' but we confess that we fail to see any need for republican anxiety about this legislation
 if it is all they claim it to be.
 It is really amusing, though to note this trepidation in republican ranks. We can recall some ten or more years ago when
 democratic control of the House was over thrown and President Woodrow Wilson found himself confronted with both hostile House and Senate. If we are correct in our observations there was little concern for the program that the late Mir Wilson had in mind. We are not advocating retalatory measures by the democratic party in a spirit of revenge. The country is in too much of tumult for such nonsense. The democratic party's principles wouldn't permit of it either.
 But we echo Mir Gamers sentiments. For my part. if we organize the' House politics will be d secondary consideration. and think every member of my party feels ihs same way. .}.' Mir Garner feels that
 ~ idea of political truce" is an insult to
 wMy member of Congress regardless of his party affiliations. As to the administrative program he feels that It is not ineoneeivable

Governor Albert C. Ritchie, who just now is leading candidate for the presiden- tial nomination on the democratic ticket, is optimistic concerning the chances of his par ty winning the election in l932. Just at present the governor is visiting in New York. It's the second visit he has paid to the bail- wick of Al Smith and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of recent months and is regarded as highly significant in political circles. How ever. Mir Ritehie was quite loquacious when interviewed by newspaper reporters in the big sity. He believes that the Hoover war debt moratorium will have to be extended. War debts should not be cancelled unless for the best interest of the nation to do SO. Pro- hibition and unemployment are the big is- sues of the coming presidential campaign
 He is not sure wet can carry the South Governor Roosevelt and Newton D. Baker are fine men. The tariff should be scaled down. He is for light wines and beers. but believes that only ultimate repeal will solve prohibition. We wonder if Mir Ritchie isn { negleeting an opportunity in not spending more time in the West where he will have his hardest battle to secure delegates. We think he can be reasonably sure of some southern votes regardless of his wet status. He also will give Roosevelt race in the North. In the West may lie his Waterloo
