The Tragic Drowning Toll

Although the summer is not far ad-
vanced, reports of accidental drown
ings are coming in from all parts OF
the country. At bathing beaches, at
swimming pools and at rural swim
min holes" death lies in wait for un-
wary bathers, and a tragic toll of ia
talities has already been recorded.
1t behooves every parent to use es-
pecial care to keep his own children
safe. Don't let youngsters swim
where there is no life guard, unless
some adult who is good swimmer is
going to be present. Don't tempt
fate by letting them swim where
there is a strong undertow, an un-
usually heavy surf or a tricky cur
rent. Don't let children enter the
water when they are below par physi-
cally. Teach them how to swim, OF
have someone else do it, at the earli-
est possible moment.
BY following a few such simple
rules much can be done to cut dowr
the number of drownings this sum-
mer. The responsibility rests or
every parent.

national conventions.
Senator Cameron Morrison, a
party leader for forty years and a
militant prohibitionist, opposed Rey-
nolds, a confirmed wet. Reynolds
lead at present writing is nearly
100000 over Morrison and the fight
was made squarely on the wet issue.
Reynolds began vigorous cam
paign nine months ago stressing the
repeal of the Eighteenth amendment
and government control of liquor.
Senator Morrison vigorously dis
sented, so the contest was clean cut
on the burning issue of the day.

lie Democracy a Failure?

Gordon Selfridge, Americana born
owner of a London department store,
told a British audience the other day
that democracy in America has failed.
Declaring that his recent visit to the
United States had convinced him that
democracy as a system of govern
ment is an absolute failure" he
added:
4 I'm my judgment, control of a
country by an inspiring spirit, with
out selfishness, managing the country
as a great business is managed, with
intelligence and care, is what must
come eventually. I believe that in a
hundred or two hundred years there
will be no more democracies in exist
ence'
Everyone, of course, is entitled to
his own opinion, and it would be fool
ish to assert that the American de.
mocracy has met the present crisis in
an absolutely perfect manner.
But it is doubtful if the ordinary
American is quite ready to admit its
complete failure; nor does this call
for government run on strict bust
ness principles seem the kind of
trumpet note that would lead I'M
passioned revolutionists to die on the
barbados
What we often overlook is the fact
that democratic government can
never, in an imperfect world, be as
efficient or as intelligent as we might
want it to be. To run anything with
perfect efficiency, from filling sta
ton on up to great nation, you
have to be absolutely cold FLOODED,
you have to shut your eyes COM
pletely to the human equation: and
it is the very essence of democracy
that it refuses to do that.
Democracy is philosophy which
holds that the human rights of those
at the bottom of the heap are worth
consideration. 1t is deliberate at
tempt to gain protection for those
rights-at price, if necessary. of
efficiency in government. To COM
plain that democracy is inefficient is
beside the point. Its inefficiency is
bargained for in the beginning.
The depression does not prove de-
nocracy's failure. Democracy did
not cause it; democracy-in a land
proud of its rugged Observation-Disclosures

Roosevelt and Smith were the Damon
and Pythias Of Democracy. They
were the closest OF political "buddies. :"
There was never chance that Smith
would go off on tangent and seek
the defeat Of his former political ally.
It is too we'll known that Smith
owes Roosevelt too much, in a politi-
cal way at least, to desert him now.
If he did any work to destroy Roose-

Walkers Case Next
New York Times

With the Tammany hosts home
from Chicago, unhappy warriors all,
the local political spotlight turns
again on Mayor Walker and the fate
that awaits him at the hands of the
Governor. The delegation did not
make very impressive showing at
Chicago. When Mr.. Curry called for
that famous poll, Mayor Walker arose
to cast his vote, definitely, for Smith
But Mr.. Mckee, President of the
Board of Aldermen and the Mayors
successor if he is removed, voted for
Roosevelt. Perhaps there was meth
cd in Curry's ostensible confusion.
Tammany never gets up from the
table surfeited. 1t is always hungry
for more patronage, and can be
counted on to support the national
ticket for that reason, if for no
other. But it's treasure is in this city,
and there will its heart be also.
What Roosevelt does as Governor
is for the moment more important
to the organization than what he
may promise to do if elected Presi-
dent. He will be damned both ways,
of course: by Tammany if he re-
moves the Mayor, by anti-Tammany
Democrats the country over If he
refuses to remove him. Yet the re-
moval of the Mayor would help the
Governor to hold the independent
Democrats, even if it were to ALLEVIATE
the host of Mr.. Walkers admirers
But such considerations should not

stated views Of duty will not-influ-

questions to be answered: Has the
Mayor offended against the written
or unwritten laws that govern his

offense been sufficient to justify his
removal? The Governor must be the
Judge.
Among the returning mutes Is

Burdick'S Defeat.

USher l.. BurdlckS defeat is not
enough to dull the ardor of the wet
campaign in North Dakota. This
state in November will face resub-
mission OF the dry article to the state
constitution. The object of course is
to put this state into the wet column
should the Eighteenth amendment be
repealed. 1t may be classed as wet
preparedness.
The defeat of Burdick was not a
test vote on the wet issue. Voters
were too busy protesting against
other economic conditions to pay
much attention to the wet or dry
question. The fact that Hoover sup
porters were so roundly beaten is an
indication that North Dakotans will
support Roosevelt who stands un-
equivocally for the repeal of the
Eighteenth amendment.
Commitments of the Republicans
and Democrats on the liquor issue
and lack of any party organization
contributed largely to the rather poor
showing made by Burdick. Senator
Nye's terrific vote carried the whole
ticket through as q straight protest
all down the line. In such land
slide, mere candidate for congress
even though q wet, had little show
for success.
The real test will come in Novem.
