Blessing Automobiles

The press reports the blessing of automobiles at the
nationa shrine of ST. Christopher in New York City
The blessing administered primarily to insure
physical safety in travel The ministers who do the
blessing might well be more concerned over religious
and moral safety in connection with this new and
universal vehicle.
There is no doubt that the automobile has been
more deadly enemy of organized orthodox religion
than all the skeptics from Tom Paine to Ingerso and
Clarence Darrow. The great infdels have provoked
defense Of the faith but the automobile promotes an
indifference to religious exercises which Is doubly
deadly because it carries with it no adequate defense
or reaction.
There is little doubt that the automobile is the
greatest secazer in the history of human invention
Likewise with moral revolution. Sociologists
psychiatriss and columnsts have been denounced by
the faithful for unsettng the moral foundations of
the old order But anything which such writers have
done is trivial indeed compared to the inroads of
motor-car habits upon the old morals
II any moral earthquake is impounding, then the
automobile must take the responsibility for having
started the first serious shivers

A Painful StraddIe


AS a political expedient President Hoovers veto
Of the Muscle Shoals bill seems to have been singu
larly unsuccessful. It has made him enemies among
the liberals, and apparently it has made him no
friends among the conservatives.
The Manufacturers Record editorially denounces
the 'unsound" and "inadvisable" recommendation in
the veto message that the states of Alabama and
Tennessee take over the property.
'In both principle and practice, government opera
ton of Muscle Shoals and commercial basis by Ala
bana and Tennessee would not differ in the slightest
respect from similar operation by the United States,
says the editorial
''The citizens with whom the federal government
would have entered into competition are the thou
sands of owners Of power plants throughout the
south and the owners of nitrate plants The citizens
with whom it is suggested that the governments OF
Tennessee and Alabama go into competition are eX-
actly the same investors.
eve submit that it is equally unsound ana mad
visible to commit state governments to government
operation' for any commercial purpose especially IN
competition with private citizens with whom the
federal government itself declines to compete"
we forecast this reaction to the Presidents veto
message at the time. But the President evidently
assumed that power interests would see only the
suggestion for state commission.
instead, both perceived the inconsistency Of Mr.
Hoover's position and resented it as an insult TO
their intelligence
Straddling of this issue may have been good poll
tics once, but it doesn't work well as it did two
years ago.

Tho States Sneak

Massachusetts, through its legislature, has asked
congress to call convention Of the states to con-
slider modification or repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment Article Of the federal Constitution pro-
vdes that whenever twothirds of the states request
it. congress shall call constitutional convention, for
the purpose of making changes.
"a condition of widespread dissatisfaction prevails
with the working and results Of Article 10 OF the
amendments to the Constitution of the United
States" the Massachusetts resolution declares.
1T is desirable to attempt to improve clarity or quiet
such conditions :"
At the same time, the Wisconsin state assembly
has adopted resolution memoralizing congress to
arrange for q national referendum on prohibition
The Massachusetts resolution recalls the decision
Of Federal Judge william Clark of New Jersey, who
held the eighteenth amendment unconstitutional be-
cause it had not been ratified in conventional de-
cision promptly overruled by the United States SUI
preme court.
1t is too much to hope that congress VIII act
now on the plea of Massachusetts, and Wisconsin.
But they are pointing the way. If there is enough
popular dissatisfaction with the prohibition law, it
can be changed in this manner, which is as near to
real expression of public sentiment as our curnber-
some political machinery permits.
incidentally, it is refreshing to see the old Bay
state which has figured largely in our history,
reassertng herself and getting back to fundamentals

Typhoid Effect on Blood Studied

about overactivity of the thyroid
gland that will lead to permanent
changes in the blood vessels or
that is entirely responsible for
high blood pressure.
The evidence is quite clear that
overactivity of the thyroid gland,
expressed by the diagnosis hyper
thyroidisrn, is itself a serious con-
dition, regardless of the effect 1t
may have on the blood pressure.
Certainly it is associated with
an unusual increase in the chem
istry of the body, with speeding
of the pulse, overstimulation Of
the nervous system, and other Sc
riouS symptoms.
Hence there is plenty Of reason
for applying modern scientific
medicine in its control, including
removal of the thyroid gland, in
the presence of such symptoms.
The direct relationship between
hyperthyroidism and changes in
the blood pressure may not be
clear, but, as has been stated, the
other symptoms are so definite
that the absence of any effect on
the lowering of the blood pressure
need not be taken as reason for
avoiding proper surgical meas
ureS.

They Turn to FrivoIity

DEOPLE here in Indiana have
l. not only gone optimistic, but
frivolous. Their antipathy to seri-
GUS subjects is little less than shock
ing. For each one I have heard
mention the Raskob plan, or the
Progressive pow-wow, I have heard
a dozen discuss Madam Queens
breach of promise suit.
Jimmy Londos is much more in
the limelight than Senator Borah,
and one hears great deal more
about the coming baseball season
than plans to prevent unemploy-
ment.
This IS not as 1t should be, &c
cording to us scribes and politicians,
but it's a fact just the same.
Former Governor AL Smith said
in one of his recent articles that
after eighteen years of experience,
he was beginning to doubt the eff
fectiveneSs of primaries as COM
pared to conventions, because peo-
pie couldn't seem to get interested
IN politics until the nominations
had been made and the race ac-
tually begun.
Such situation as that now pre-
vailing in this country make one
wonder If he isn't right.

There are two physiological
groups Of endoparasitic flagellates.
those in the intestine and those in
the blood stream and blood-forming
organs" DR.. Faust says.
"The former group are relatively
innocuous; the latter are usually
pathogenic. Among the later are
the dozens Of species Of trypano-
someS, causing diseases in wild
animals, also in cattle, horses,
donkeys, sheep, camels, monkeys
and man sleeping sickness).

eases in man and dogs"

True to Form

no one can charge Governor Leslie with incon-
sistency. When he vetoed the legislative act that
would require registration Of voters and thus pre-
vent the frauds by which state elections in the past
have been determined he did the expected thing.
The measure was demanded by the League Of
Women Voters. That fine organization, attempting
70 rescue the government from corruption and
fraud, spent much time in It's u paration.
The Governor assassnated their protective meas
on the plea that it is too expensive to protect the
ballot boxes.
It is probable that he would have vetoed any
measure that was written on this subject no mat
ter how much or how little its cost of operation to
the state might have been.
The political corruptionsts do not want any safe
guards against frauds, and the political corruption
ists even though they wear fine clothes and sit in
fine Offices, are more powerful than womens clubs
The people know that the cost Of any regstra-
ton system would be slight compared to the cost
Of corruption in government founded on frauds.
The people Of Lake county could give evidence
this subject.
The Governor under the sunny skies Of Florida,
should be real payboy If there any victory
in the legislative session, it belongs to him.
He signed every questionable measure passed by
the lawmakers and killed every good one. He es-
capped investigation Of his past acts the thing he
feared
No wonder he had the bravado to kill a bill to
bar frauds. He evidently does not believe in po-
litical hell

Cause of Malaria.

THERE are three distinct species
Il of malarial infection in man,
DR.. Faust says.
I'm monkeys there are several
types of malarial parasites" he con-
tinues. "Other mammals also har-
Dor parasites of this group, but it
seems altogether likely that they are
all distinct one from another"
1.-THE piroplaSn1s, anaplasrns, ETC.,
which infect red blood cells, are not
known to infect man but constitute
a serious group of infections in
cattle, sheep, horses, camels, etc.
Coccidia infest rabbits, sheep, cat
tie, hogs, dogs and cats and oc-
ca5ionally develop in man. Most Of
these cocidia are located in the
walls of the intestines, but in rab-
bits they infest the liver.
Horses and cattle, camels and
sheep at times are afflicted with a
protozoan infection of, the flesh
known as sarcocystis, and man has
been reported to have incurred this
disease.
There are several ciliated pro-
tozoa which live in the intestinal
tract of mammals. Some of these
are located in the stomachs Of
ruminants."

HEALTH SERVICE

In overactivity of the thyroid
gland, there is increase in the pulse
pressure, which is decreased in
about so per cent of the patients
after the removal Of the thyroid
gland.
There are cases also in which
people with low Or normal blood
pressures who are toxic and enact
ated have a distinct rise in the
blood pressure after the overactivity
of the thyroid is relieved.
However, it must be borne in
mind that these patients are put
to bed for long time usually be-
fore undergoing operation, and that
there is a fall in the blood pressure
usually when there is marked
emaciation, as occurs with starva-
ton; hence these factors may be
responsible for the rise in blood
pressure.
It was found that in patients with
high blood pressure and oveactivity
of the thyroid, the blood pressure
may be slightly higher after opera
ton for removal Of the thyroid
tissue.
In general, the Investigations
indicate that there is nothing

Not a Beauty Show

THIS, fortunately, is not con-
Il test in charm, or match as to
the manner in which clothes should
be tailored and worn. Nor is it in
any sense a duel between a certain
columnist and a high city official.
I think Jimmy Walker is lux
ury which New York can i'll afford.
His grace as official greeter Is small
return against the vast mass of
graft which has flourished during
his tenure of office.
This fight lies between Jimmy
the well-dressed man, the wise
cracker, the articulate entertainer
and the crowd, the mob; or, call it
what you will.
We are less smooth. Perhaus
we're on our way. Let's keep going!
We can't be fooled forever. No
man with nice spats and a smooth
tongue can laugh us back into
apathy.
Nor can the graceful gesture Of a
neatly gloved hand say "Stop!" to a
mob which has had enough of Tam
many and Jimmy Walker.

TINE recent murder Of a woman in New York City
4 has aroused Rabbi Wise to declare that the crime
is challenge to the metropolis
We sympathize with the rabbits indignation, for
we have felt the same way about it ever since we
have been old enough to realize that law enforcement
IS a joke in the United States.
If 1t be any comfort to the rabbi, we wish to as
sure him that this shameful condition is not con-
fined to New York City, but that it exists in every
other city of the land and in every rural seat well
and it always has existed.
Our poor weather-beaten goddess of justice has
been challenged many times it would require the
mathematical genius of Enstein to count the total
she has been slapped in the face by triumphant crime
until her countenance is as tough as the hide of a
rhinocerous.
THIS case of New York City doubtless will take its
L place in me long, soul-sickening procession of
miscarried justice
yes in few short weeks, the steam roller of
crowding events will pass this crime and cover
it with the dust of oblivion.
Even If the guilty be arrested and their guilt be
overwhelmingly evident the endless distractions in
the pathway of punishment will put of final judg-
ment until the public interest VIII be dead King
Tut.
If we may paraphrase Karl Marx, we will say that
in America the laws delays the opium of justice
It always has been so. Our courts always have
been mere arenas In which forensic gladiatorS dis
played their excellence not temples of justice in which
crime was whipped.
We say this is the land OF the oppressed but in
truht it is the asylum of the criminal.
A LII along the pathway Of our national life, our
N greatest leaders have won their first laurels by
prostitut1ng them shining talents to from just
punishment the red-handed enemies of law-abding
people, and for their victories such leaders have been
acclaimed when they should have been branded as
public enemies
America stands before the civilized world, the
greatest failure in law enforcement and for our u-
dical processes the bench and bar Of oer lands have
had nothing but contempt for more than century
This horrible farce viii end it some day win end

Our danger is not from handful Of reds: our dan
ger IS from a country fuu Of courthouses in which

Hoover Sails South


Apart from his habit Of picking a warship every
time he goes on peace mission of good will, the
Presidents plan to visit Caribbean islands is all
to the good
He needs rest His worst enemies admit that
Hoover is hard worker. He has had only one brief
vacation since entering the White House more than
two years ago. The strain is beginning to show.
He is getting jumpy. His recent veto message and
trades against those who disagree with him have
indicated nerves He needs to forget for awhile those
hairshrts which to be much on his mind as on
his back A few days Of the Gulf Stream and island
sands should set him up.
And it won't hurt him bit to get little publicity
lust at that time-that is kindly publicity. For that
purpose the President could not have chosen better
place than the West India colonies.
They have not seen an American President in
long time and win be glad to welcome him. His visit
win be deserved gesture of friendship to people who
sometimes are human enough to resent alien rule
The publicity viii be equally beneficial from the
American end American attention win be focused
for the first time on one of the achievements of the
Hoover administration.
Conditions are not so good in Porto Rico. The
fundamental problems of overpopulation and land
hoggng by American corporations can not be solved
over night, but the government administration is
more efacent and public opinion more sympathetic
than perhaps at any previous time since the Amer
lean nag was raised that beautiful island
For this equal credit is due President HOOKER and
Governor Theodore Roosevelt.
In the adjoining Virgin islands, the President Is
