Montgomery In
Smart Comedy

Lovers Courageous" the smart
comedy starring Robert Montgom-
cry, with Madge Evans in support,
will be shown for the last times to-
night at Fox Imperial theatre.
This being leap year, the film
appropriately enough depicts the
efforts of a girl to get the man
of her choice, who is sufficiently in
love with her but lacks the deter
mination to make the final decision
by a proposal of marriage.
The girl eventually takes matters
into her own hands, much to the
CONSERVATION OF the handsome
young bachelor, who is content to
let matters daily along.
An unusually clever dialogue
makes Lovers Courageous" a de-
lightful film from start to finish.

Experts of the United States
Government who have made a sci

exist in the Imperial Irrigation
District say that its drainage
problem is one of the most serious
it has. 1t has not as yet been
solved by the district under pres
ent conditions. Approximately
one-half of the soluble salts
brought into the valley from the
Colorado River remain in the soil
and will cause serious trouble un-

The Cruelest irony

About the worst irony would befall if in
addition to losing his job he deliberately were robbed
of his vote.
Yet q telegram has been sent to President Hoover
from Corporation Counsel H. E. Holmes of Lewiston,
Me, complaining that the local Republican organi-
cation there has invoked an obsolete pauper law to
strike from the voting poll the of some 1000
jobless citizens
Holmes told the President that this scheme was
believed ito constitute the first step in nation wide
campaign to disfranchise the unemployed"
The depression is likely to disfranchise hundreds
of thousands of voorhees, voters At least ten states
have poll tax and other voting qualifications which
many unemployed can not meet. In Arkansas, Massa-
chusets, Florida with certain exceptions Tennessee
Texas and Virginia, poll tax receipts required be-
fore voting.
In Oregon possession of property is voting re-
uuirement; in Pennsylvania payment of state or
county tax within the preceding two years is neces-
sary; in South Carolina the voter must and pay
taxes on at least $500 worth of property.
Besides these limits the right to vote, the de-
preston itself has cast adrft multitude of citizens
who will lose their votes by reason of absence.
If political machines set about to practice skull
duggery in the effort to perpetuate their power is
indicated from the Maine protest the iobless will be
encouraged to use some other weapon than the ballot
The least we can offer Our unfortunate unemployed
is the right of protest at the polls.

Of much closer international cooperation can be
worked out with the European central banks, but
especially with the United States
Even a technical arrangement of that kind. how
ever would not alone prevent international financial
chaos The main difficulty is the war debt load The
Lausanne reparations settlement hangs in the air

Of course American officials are well aware of this
But they apparently afraid to do anything about
1t in a political campaign year Hence the evasive
attitude of Candidate Hoover and Candidate Roose-
welt

ably are worse than the facts just as the discussions
With Montagu Norman are doubtless much more mpor-
tant and hopeful than the official denials would ind
cate so also there is good reason believe that Hoover
and the administration preparing for the eventual
debt revision which they publicly disavow.
Indeed, there is some ground for hope that Hoover
may accept the solution urged long by the Scripps-
Howard newspapers and now so brilliantly championed
by Senator Borah. That solution is: Debt revision
or cancellation only in exchange for arms reduction
This is straight business proposition 1t is to the
mutual profit Of Americans and Europeans to remove
the debt and armament barriers to world trade and
prosperity.

Just Every Day Sense
By Mis-. walter FERGUSON

TN spite of what appears defeat for the organiza-
ton, it seems to that the Womens Christian
Temperance Union is in better situation today than
it has been since the time of Frances f. Willard
If the ladies do not make the mistake of trailing
off after William Upshaw, they may regain some of
their prestige. Since they say they conscientously
cannot follow either of the two major parties, they
get out of politics and become again an actual
force for good
For the W. c. T. U. lost influence and friends when
it took up the Ratchet with Carrie Nation The time
has when it return to its ancient and hon
orabe principles and stand forth as moral rather
than police power
1t has been used too long as a cats paw for the
malodorous Anti-Saloon League Many silly and
sinister deeds have been committed in its name
Mrs. Boole is a capable leader. If she would re-
organize her forces teach not the evils of whisky
but the evils of intemperance. thousands of women
would rejon her order. Intolerance and bgotry and
plain nonsense drove many member away.
THE younger generation must be instructed in the
4 dangers of immoderate drinking All women are
agreed on that point. We differ only to methods
and not to principle.
Boys and girls and men and women should be-
awake to the harm that intemperance can do
them. And, mark YOU this never will be taught by
laws
And to instin into an individual fear of alcohol
such is bad for the character to instl into
MIN fear of a DOGGY What must be taught
self-control
Until we learn this lesson, neither liquor nor any
other harmful thing be kept effectively from
Right now. with prohibition substituted for educa-
ton, we are training the hand bunch of
moral weaklingS and towards, and on the other q
horde Of hypocrites, outlaws and gin-guzzlng fools
Law has failed. Consistent courageous persistent
education is only hope to mitigate the liquor evil

That Loan Bank

Senator James Eli Watson, desperate as
he faces the fact that the people at last I'M
derstand that his glad hand has held theirs
while greedier hands picked their pockets
through special privileges, stakes his re-
election on the home loan bank bill.
With the tremolo stop pulled out, he is
telling the voters that he became interested
in the measure because of the plight Of
thousands of citizens who were unable TO pay
installments to building and loan associa-
tions.
The inference is that Watson fostered a
measure that will provide a moratorium for
these citizens until that corner is found be-
hind which prosperity turks.
The other inference is that Watson saved
the homes and made it possible for those
who do not own homes TO Immediately find
one through credits from the money Of the
government, which means the peoples
money.
Today The Times prints letter issued by
the building and loan company of the town
in which the senator claims a residence, but
which he seldom visits-the town 'of Rush
vile.
The officers of that association are
friends Of the senator, one being especially
active at all times in his behalf
That letter will jolt the member who
may have been in the class which the senator
says moved him to compassion and activity.
For it is demand that every payment
be made more promptly than in the past.
The home town boys declare that there
Will be more foreclosures and that the meas
ure, instead of bringing relief will bring
more difficulties to those now in debt to the
companies
Of course, the bank will not open until
October. 1t will be too late for actual dem
onstration of the law before November. No
one will know exactly how it will work out.
All that is known up to date is that of
ficers Of some loan companies are quite
happy. But at Rushville the shock comes to
the borrowers. There is the threat of fore
closures instead of leniency.
Perhaps the voter who has been led into
the belief that Watson has at last done one
thing commendabe should study the ques-
ton. They may find his promises as hollow
as his impassioned declaration that he knew
that prosperity would come within six weeks
of the passage of the Smoot-Hawley tariff
measure-iust another Watson episode.
Both can not be right. Past experience
suggests that any claim of Watson be test
ed thoroughly before cashed.

Nnrman'S Vacation

AS usual when the mysterious Montagu Norman
slips into this country and is discovered in conference
with our own financial bigwgs. there is quick and
sweeping official denial that he has any business to
transact
The governor of the Bank CT England merely
dropped across the Atlantic for few days quiet
cation according to federal reserve officers in New
York and government officials in Washington
Our guess is that Norman is here seeking co-opera-
ton of the United States in important international
financial moves, preparatory to the return of Great
Britain to the gold standard and settlement of the
war debts problem.
If Norman is not here on such mission, the British
government is failing in its obvious duty. And if the
American officials did not take advantage of Nor
mans visit here-on vacation otherwise-to carry
on such financial negotiations, they would be much
more stupid than their worst critics believe.
Probably it is much than accident that Nor
man took similar brief and busy vacation here be-
fore England returned to the gold standard in 1925
An American credit to the Bank of England resulted
But the present situation is not so simple. Britain
needs and demands much than loan this time
She thinks that she driven eff the gold standard
partly because of the alleged boarding policy of the
federal which at critical times drained Brit

Keep Their Faith
THE most amazing feature OF

THE most amazing feature of
4 this terrific slump is that mil
lions of Americans could stand what
they have without losing faith in
their government. 1t is doubtful if
another land on earth could go
through the experience without
generating a much deeper spirit of
resentment.
The answering loyalty of those
who have gone cold and hungry is
about the finest tribute that could
be paid a government or a flag.
We have a right not only to be
proud of it, but to accept it as
genuine reinsurance of this govern
ment's adaptability to human de-
SireS, hopes, and needs.
Whatever may be said of it in
Russia, Italy, or Germany. dernoc-
racy has not failed in the United
States, where it has been on trial
longest, where people have given it
a fair chance, and where neither
war nor depression has suficed to
shake it.
In spite of all the plumbers and
mistakes. all the misfortunes and
calamities, the American people still
are standing solidly behind a form
of government which their fathers
established las years ago.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Train Your Infant to Help Himself

3. Change diapers promptly when
wet. The baby soon learns to feel
uncomfortable in a wet diaper.
This helps in his training.
4. AS soon as the baby sits up
easily of his own accord, use a chair
for him in the bathroom, instead of
the chamber in your lap.
5. Leave him on the chair not
longer than five minutes. Do not let
him have toys to play with or amuse
him.
When the baby can walk success
fully, take off the diapers and put
him into jersey "panties."
7. Do not use rubber panties-
they injure the skin. When travel
ing use the large loose rubberized
diaper. Have an extra one to place
in your lap or on the car or train
seat.
Many babies keep dry during the
day after IL or ID months-some,
much younger if the training is
begun the first month.
/. Do not give any water, milk or
