I'm for Notification

THIS is very musty legalism in a
l. country where the Constitu-
ton has always followed the election
returns. Surely it is nonsense to say
that people must continue to put up
with regulations which they deplore.
Liberty is very curious name to
apply to such procedure.
1t is unfortunate that the Ameri-
can Constitution is so difficult to
change. The honest thing to do
would be to have revision through
a constitutional convention. But
that seldom has been the American
practice. We treat bad laws in the
same way that we are advised to
treat good bonds. We put them
away and forget about them.
No community, either local OF
federal, could get along without for
getting many statutes on the
books. If the attempt to enforce
prohibition has brought law into
disrespect, it would seem the part
of wisdom to quit the attempt as
soon as possible.
This traditional American prac-
tice is known as notification. I'm
for notification. I am also the man
who waggles his hand and tries to
attract the speakers attention when
he says, "Of course, nobody wants
the old-fashioned saloon back
again"

300 Miles an Hour

years races will hit full 300 mile an-hour clip ac-

When speeds of such breath-taking swftness are

The slightest defect in the plane the slightest
bit of carelessness or faulty judgment on the part
of the pilot inevitably disaster-swift, final
and unacceptable.
That planes can be built to travel that fast is a
tribute to modern designers That men can be found
to fly them is a tribute to the daring and skill of
the ayiators themselves

Only 20 per cent of patients with
chronic disease are less than 40

The reason chronic disease is
becoming so much more significant
is the fact that the average ex-
pectancy of life is increasing. More
people living longer create more de-
generative disease.
There is more cancer today be-
cause cancer is essentially a disease
of advancing years and people who
formerly died of the acute infectious
diseases now live to die of cancer.
In a discussion of chronic disease,
DR.. E. P. Boaz pointed out that the
economic and social factors are just
as significant as the medical factors.
Even poor or needy person or

Curtis on the Stumn

Nobody will get excited about the acceptance
speech of Charles Curtis. That is why it was sue
cessful-from his point of view.
Curtis always plays it safe. That policy raised
him from Jockeys saddle to a seat in congress-
That policy kept him in Washington for thrtyhve
years. It got him the vce-presidential nomination
four years ago. and put him back on the ticket in
Chicago.
Curtis lets his party do his thinking for him. He
is regular; he is conservative At 70 he still is a
champion handshaker People like him.
His job in this campaign will be to supply the jolly
touch which Hoover lacks-call 'em by their first
names the good old G. O. P. doctrine, what was good
enough for pa is good enough for me, the American
home must be protected mother the protective tariff.
That line has worked for long time Charlie and

counting on it to go over with the voters again.
But wonder.

Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

NEXT to the greatest optmist in the world is
' the person who gives advice about managing
husbands The greatest optinist, of course is the
woman who expects to do the managing
We have the New York City health commissioner
for instance offering this perfectly grand tip to
wives:
IF your husband is grouchy he is probably not
we'll Send him to the doctor If he is ILL., do not let
him diagnose his own ailments"
Personally I seldom have read more wise or
sensible statement. 1t is reasonable lucid, and to
the point. And it sounds easy In fact it would be
easy If it were applied to any one but husband
But sending the average American husband to
the doctor is like trying invite mule into the par
Tor. He will snort and back of and shy and prance
and kick and sulk. But he will not go.
While the grouchier he is and therefore the sicker
we may presume him to be- the less luck you'll have.
VOUR grouchy male person, as all ladies know,
thinks that he has real grievances to upset him.
Did you ever meet man who blamed his bad dis
you ever meet man who would admit that he had
bad disposition?
Not a husband, I'm sure. All are convinced that
the women just want something to fuss about And
although most of realize that there Is grave dan
ger in any individual diagnosing his illness, that
doesn't help a bit with getting the husband and
the physician together.
Every man his own doctor" is a favorite slogan
with men, and prescribing for himself is of the
chief recreations of the aiing married gentleman.
In short, am convinced that the medical profess
sion would bestow boon upon civilization If it would
cease for time its researches into the origins OF
human disease and turn its attention to the human
husband and find out what makes him that way.

tious diseases follow a definite course
and are limited. In a chronic
disease the cost of medical attend
ance, medicines, and special food
becomes great and the life of every
person in the family is modified by
the necessity of caring for the sick
Therefore, the big problem in re-
lationship to chronic disease is not
so much the care of the patient
with chronic disease as the proven
ton of such diseases.
1t has been found that early dag
nosis, such as may be made by
regular examination, and proper
care given early is far more likely
to prevent the appearance of q
chronic disease than any other mea-
sure.
Nevertheless, the continued in
crease in such diseases shows that
the vast majority Of people have not
learned this lesson.
1t is becoming more and more i'm
portant to provide suitable beds in
hospitals for the care of patients
with chronic disorders.

The Columbus Speech

Roosevelts campaign speech at Columbus was
spendd-as far as it went His attack on the Repuo~
ucan administration for furthering the speculative
orgy of 1929 for false statements regarding business
conditions and for initial failure to understand or
cone with the depression, was effective.
But this Roosevelt feat was not difficult Hoover,
having taken credit for the sunshine should not re-
fuse to take blame for the storm
OF course Roosevelt laid on the blame bit too
thick as is customary in campaign oratory He failed
to give the President credit for certain admirable
Inadequate reconstruction measures of 1882.
But since the Republican ballyhoo more than bal
ances this omission by the Democrats, there is no
danger that the voter will remain ignorant OF such
virtues as Hoover possesses.
That third Of RooSevelt's speech outlining his own
program should have been more important than the
two-thirds blasting the already debated myth that
Hoover is the great engineer. But it was not.
The nine point Roosevelt program of economic re-
form touches only the surface Of the problem. We
share his desire for effective governmental control of
holding companies of stock exchanges and of banks,
without having as much faith Roosevelt that such
regulation will alter the economic trend bascally,
either in good times bad
We are inclined to think that Wall street and our
financial maadies are results rather than of
the ravages of this dog-eat-dog economic system.
There seemed some hint of this in Roosevelts dis
cusson of production and the machine in Great
ing unemployment. and the contradiction of tariff
walls and foreign loans. But he was silent regard
ing remedies
Would he reduce the tariff WALTZ He does not say.
Would he attack machine-made unemployment with

/ that prohibition has brought about
diSrespect for law and that there
fore, it must be enforced vigorously
until the last knot of red tape has
been cut away.
If enforcement proved possible
even in the days when there was
reason to believe that possibly the
drys 'were in the majority, it seems
silly to assume that it can be done
better now that wet sentiment is
so obviously preponderant.
THE first duty of the President
of the United States is to enforce
the laws as they exist This I shall
continue to do to the utmost of my
ability. Any other course would be
the abrogation Of the very guaran-
tees of liberty"

DOLITICAL platforms seldom are
L built of sturdy, timber, and
scarcely a man now is alive who
can give an accurate resume of the
prohibition plank adopted by the
Republican party in June.
Save as feat of memory, there
would be very little point in holding
onto the words so artfully contrived
by Secretary Mills. The phrases
over which delegates honked and
Kissed already have gone to limbo
Mr.. Hoover's acceptance speech
has superseded the earlier pro-
nouncement and become the official
attitude of his party.
In discussing the dear dead
document, Mr.. Hoover said, "It does
not dictate to the conscience of any
member of the party" This is either
a piece of great candor or de-
liberate attempt to confuse the issue.
If the President means to suggest
that it is quite customary for Re
publican platform to contain pledges
and promises meaning precisely
nothing, he is speaking the I'M
vanished truth.
But it seems to me unfair for him
to suggest that the Republican po-
sition on prohibition is so elastic
that it includes the views of both
wringing vets and the bone dry
forces.

Fooled Long Enough

ID OOSEVELT'S nine-point pro-
N gram may sound radical to
those directly concerned, but not to
those who have lost their fortunes,
or their jobs through uncontrolled
recklessness and extravaganza.
The political meaning of words in
this country depends chiefly on
what people believe, or want. Just
now, the great majority have lost
their fear of men or measures,
which promise to prevent such a
bubble as was blown during the
Coolidge administration and as
burst right after Hoover took office
You can't make them believe that
laws regulating the Stock Exchange
or providing for published informa-
ton regarding securities, are dam
gerousIy red. Neither can you make
them believe that the United States
should go on holding the bag.

Remedies Are Orthodox

ID OOSEVELT has advocated laws
N and regulations which will APP
peal to millions as not only sound
but necessary. He has voiced what
millions have been thinking for the
last two years, when he says that
the Hoover administration failed to
take effective steps for relief, or re-
covery.
What he said at Columbus is
neither original, nor startling.
Though unable to give it practical
expression, untold numbers of peo-
pie have been thinking the same
thing. AS a matter of record, every
measure he suggested has been adj
vocated and discussed throughout
the country for long time.
He has not proposed anything
that could be compared to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver" in
1896. His remedies are absolutely
orthodox. Their novelty consists in
the fact that the Hoover admins
tration and the party back of it are
powerleSs to handle the situation
which confronts them. Their prom
ises, commitments and policies are
such that they can not do what is
needed, even if they had the de-
sire.

A chronic disease is any condi-

7 FADING astronomers of the
Il world are in New England
and the province of Quebec, perfect
ing final details of plans for OBJ
serving the eclipse of the sun which
takes place on Aug. 81.
1t is highly probable that the in
fluX of tourists into New England
and the province of Quebec Will be
larger than ever during the next two
weeks because of the attraction OF
the eclipse.
In many towns in the eclipse
areas, special arrangements for
the care Of tourists have been made
by the Chambers of Commerce.
Special maps of the eclipse areas
have been prepared by the New
England Hotel Association and by
Otner organizations.
Folders giving data concerning
special trains, excursions, etc, have
been issued by the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad and the
Boston q Maine railroad.
A number of auto bus companies
also have announced excursions to
the eclipse area. In many towns.
the Chambers Of Commerce are
making arrangements to provide
suitable sites from which tourists
may view the eclipse in comfort.

Editor Times-Late last evening,
while waiting for street car on
East Washington street, a woman
with a small child put a penny in
a chewing gum slot machine, but
failed to receive any gum. Feel
ing sorry for the youngster, the
writer then put another penny in
the slot with the same futile re-
suit. Shaking and jolting the ma
chine failed to recover either the
pennies or obtain the chewing gum
A year or so ago I read Of the
arrest of some youths for attempt
ing to rob a slot machine, and I
fail to see any difference between
the owners Of the slot machine who
rob little children, as well as grown
ups, of their pennies and the youths
who were arrested for attempting
to rob the machines.

Real Task for G. 0. P.

Real Task for G. 0, P.
IT is Roosevelt's contention that
i the present slump was brought
on largely by over production and
excessive speculation, that both
we're encouraged by the Hoover adj
ministration and that, when the
crash came, the Hoover administra-
ton was too thunderstruck to recog-
nize it's full significance, much less
do anything.
Old guard strategists are going to
find it difficult to put Roosevelt on
the defensive with cries Of alleged
radicalism The empty Stomachs
and lean pocketbooks hardly will fall
for a red scare, with no more to
sustain it.
With all the cash sailed away in
banks, all the wheat in storage, and
all the resources available, it is 60
ing to take more propaganda than
even the Republican fund can pay
for to convince average citizens that
something didn't go wrong with the
system, and that the administration
in power wasn't partially to blame
for it.

self alone. The fact, mentioned by
Mr.. Hoover, that the President pos
Sesses no power or authority with
respect to changes in the Constitu-
ton is quite irrelevant.
At the moment, Mr.. Hoover is
functioning not only as President,
but also as leader of the Repub-
lican party. His words must of ne
cessity be binding upon the mem
berS of his party.
OF course, they may not agree
with his position, but they must
conform or go elsewhere. And that
is reasonable enough. Party gov
eminent means nothing at all if it
does not compel mutual agreement
upon a set of principles.

no more business in the Repub-
lican party this year than has free

Something for Memory
IT is unfortunate that few voters

phrases are likely to be simplified
in the public mind. Mr.. Hoover
learned that when his experiment

boiled down to "the noble expert
ment."
This time he has been careful to
use several hundred words instead
of five. or ten. No single phrase in
his ohibition pronouncement
stands out. Undoubtedly this was
design and not accident. Obvious
" the Republican candidate wished
to be a little less than crystal clear
in the matter.
And already there is confusion
People will tell you that the Repub-

Democratic demand for Volstead
