"DRING back my bonnie to me, .
ID will be the plant of Senator
James E. Watson to Lake county
tonight at the Gary rally arranged
by Ernest Force, county chairman.
Every plea in his repertoire and
every promise he can make will be
thrown -into the scale by the senior
senator in his effort to return Lake
county to it's traditional place lin
the @. o. P. column, his associates
declare.
Lake county is a keystone in the
Republican state structure and
when it went Democratic by 5000
votes last year, what previously was
believed to be the impossible had
occurred.
Republican leaders harked back
to 1926, when after almost a week
of delay Lake county's general cleo
ton returns we're announced to
give Senator Watson 1880 ma ority
ard assure his reelection.
There has been much talk over
the state since then that Albert
Stump, the Democratic nominee,
deliberately was counted out.
G.. O. P. control and domination
Of the county, which now consti-
tutes by itself the First district, is
vital to party success.
AS usually is the case when the
Democrats go into power, they lest
KANT get along with themselves"
fractional difficulties and quar-
rels have split that party's organ
ization in Lake hundred different
ways and it would take a combina-
ton Of a Mussolini and Thurston
to bring them together again and
hold it that way.
The only factor upon which
Democrats pin hope for repetition
of the 1880 victory in 1882 is con-
tinued economic depression.
Republican differences are not
so great that they can not be
mended and Senator Jim is the
acknowledged expert in this line of
endeavor.
If kiss and a promise can &C
complish this result, the job will be
completed to his party's salts
faction.
One thing which will bring him
some strength there is his state
ment of a year ago in favor of

REVIVE BUILDING,
is KEYNOTE OF
BOOSTER TALKS
More Than 1000 Answer
Leslie Call for Rally
at CadIe.

More than 1000 persons, inter-
ested in the solution Of unemploy-
mens problems, assembled at Cadle
tabernacle at the call Of Governor
Harry G. Leslie Monday afternoon
and listened for two and one-half
hours to booster talks for the build
ing industry.
Revive the building industry and
you revive prosperity" was the key
note of the meeting.
AT the close a woman property
owner rose and said she didn't see
how under the present taxing sys-
tenn in Indiana she could afford any
Improvements.
Il built new door on my gar
age and $115 was added to my as
sessment." she declared.
Plan State Crusade
The meeting, called to publicize
the so-called Muncie plan, was de-
voted to starting statewide cru
SADIE to make property repairs and
alterations now, and thus give en-
ployment to building tradesmen.
After listening to the plan pro-
pouents, those who remained to the
close of the meeting were given an
other slant on the present situation
and what must be done about it.
This view came in a fiery speech
by President Tom Taylor of the In
diana state federation Of labor
we must remember that
throughout the state of Indiana,
there are hundreds of men and
families facing the peril of hunger
and cold" Taylor said.
Impervious to Logic
Those who have great wealth
should realize this point-you can
not argue with a hungry man.
"A hungry man is in no mood to
listen to logic about the American
Constitution. They will lend an
Ear to any scheme that promises re-
lief.
THE one important thing to do
right now is to care for the unem-
ployed and their families. Our duty
is to give to those who are in need.
In that way our American ideals can
be retained until the sum of pros
perity returns and L insure we will
win through"
Elmer Stout, chairman of the
state unemployment committee, pre-
sided at the opening of the meet
ing and Governor Leslie welcomed
those attending and thanked them
for their cooperation.
Declares Against Dole
He declared against any dole
and unnecessary expenditures for
public works-the two avenues open
for governmental aid for the unem-
ployed.
He urged that those present go
back to their communities and get
property holders to spend their
money for Improvements needed
now.
The Governor was followed by
DR.. John H. Hewitt, director of the
state relief committee, who an
nounced that other plans are in
the offing. These, he said, include
neighborhood help through organ
izing women in groups of five.
Hewitt was followed by the build
ing specialists, William E. Price,
originator of the Muncie plan, and
o. w. Rosenthal, Chicago, president
of the National Association of
Building Trades Employers.

"HOLIST|C' WORLD
Science Session in London
Told Universe Appears
to Be Simplifying.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 24--A "holistic''
theory of the universe, in which sci
ence is perhaps the clearest revelation
kof God" today gave Gen. Jan c. SHUTS
attention as PHILOSOPHER as well as
statesman and soldier.
The former premier Of South Africa
has come to the conclusion from long
study that material conceptions of
space and matter are giving birth to a
hypothesis Of the unity of mankind's
evolution, which he calls "holisrn.''
AS a president of the British Asso-
citation for Advancement OF Science, he
explained to the centenary meeting of
that organization yesterday his "scien-
tific world picture Of today"
ImpaIpabIe New Universe.
"In other respects" he said, ut Is a
strange new universe, impalpable, i'm
material consisting not of material or
stun, but of organization, of patterns
or wholes which are INCREASINGLY being
woven to more complex or to simpler
designs.
I'm the large. it appears to be a de-
caying, simplifying universe which at
tanned to the perfection of its organi-
cation in the far distant past and is
now regressing to its simpler form
perhaps for good, perhaps only to re-
start another cycle of organization.
But inside this cosmic process of
decline we notice a smaller but far
more significant movements stream
ing, protoplasmic tendency, an emhry-
onic infant world emerging, throbbing
with passionate life and striving toward
rational and spiritual liberalization.
More Advanced Patterns.
Instead Of the arniistic or the mech
anistic or the mathematical universe,
we see the genetic, organic, holistic
universe, in which the decline of the
earlier physical patterns provides the
opportunity for the emergence OF the
more advanced and rational patterns.
In this holistic universe man is In
very truth. the offspring of the stars.
The world consists not only of cleo
irons and radiations. but also of souls
and aspirations Beauty and holiness
are as much aspects of Nature as energy
and enthrc~@S.
And evolution is perhaps the only
way of approach to the framing of
consistent world picture which would
do justice to the inmensity, the pro-
fundity and the unutterable mystery of
the universe"

cause need not be discussed in this con-

mitments for vagrancy in many sections,
amounting to 90 per cent The great de-

these different factors affect the rate will
be considered under the second general

HOW SHOULD THE RATES BE MOD

National prohibition was accompanied
by very marked reduction in the num-

CAUSES THAT AFFECT THE DEATH
RATE IN THE SAME LOCALITY

A change in the deaJn rate for alcohol
ism may be due to real change in drink
ing habits or merely to a change of atti-
tude toward recording such deaths. The
change may also result from an increase

the death rate for alcoholism was not so
great as that which was reported either
in the Metropolitan OF ne federal figures.
WHY DID THE ALCOHOLISM DEATH
RATE RISE AFTER PROHIBITION?
Without question lax enforc m ent
caused more liquor drinking and in con-
sequences more alcoholism deaths, but that
Is far from being the whole story. There
never was such a proportionate increase
in alcoholic deaths as the Metropolitan
figures suggest; disqualification, politics

Will Cut Out
 Alaska Stations

The Budget Bureau has slash ed all appropriations for the maintenance and operation of the farm experimental stations in Alaska. This means that this department will cease to func- tion and further that all the governments property would be sold or transferred-including equipment and stock. MT. Flory, commissioner, declared it his be- lief that in event the govern ment took this procedure, the Territory would be offered the various plants in the territory.
 However, with a bank balance of less than $2O0,0O0, with out standing warrants being refused honor by the Treasurer, it ap- gears doubtful that the Terri tory can think of taking the rlants over even as gift for they will lackoperating funds.
