Why Not Now?

When the drys were fighting Tor prohibition they
appealed to congress to let the people speak. For
instance:
Give the people of the separate states an oppor-
tunity to decide for themselves whether they desire
this amendment.-Bishop James Cannon Jr. May
1910
We simply are asking congress to submit to the
people this amendment for ratification rejection
strategy. MAY, 1914)
The people have the right to be heard. All the
people have had chance to be heard and this
proposed amendment will give them that chance
Mrs. Ella Boole, president Of the w. c. T. U. april
1914)
The member Of either branch of the American
congress who denies the power of amendment to the
states, especially amendment which vast numbers
of the people desire the states to consider violates
the basic principles both Of the Constitution and Of
popular government, repudiates the fundamental
rights of the states and overurns the two most sacred
privileges the people posSess-the privilege OF ref
erendum and petition.-Senator Morris Sheppard of
Texas. (July, 1910

workers, by the Presidents own Wickersham commits

Yet the Anti-Saloon League threatens that any

privileges that sacred, twelve years ago, now
have become to the drys frivolous and profane.

Communists, but as usual, the courts preferred to
prove the Communist thesis about American juris-
prudence.
In Georgia action at last has begun on the effort
to impose the death sentence upon those-white or
black-who presume to disseminate Communist
propaganda.
Six persons, including two young girls, charged
with melting to riot they distributed Commu-
mist literature and some of them proposed to speak
at Communist meeting.
Action is being taken under the old pre-Civl war
law designed to prevent rebellion among Negro slaves
1t revived to check disorder in reconstruction
days 1t imposes the death penalty for melting to riot
and for rioting.
The public prosecutor has announced that he will
seek the death penalty for "every Communist who
to this state ad publicly breaches the doctrine
of violent opposition to the state"
1t is to be hoped however that Georgia has no am
bition to emulate Massachusetts or California.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times-As daily reader
of your fine paper, would like to
voice my opinion regarding the
coming national election. At present,
Franklin D. Roosevelt is supposed
to be the outstanding Democratic
candidate against the Republican
forces. No doubt he could get a
large vote from the Democrats, but
how would it be possible for him to
be elected without the many Re-
publican votes?
It seems that the ones so strong
for Roosevelt believe that the Amer
lean people will walk right up and
vote for him without even knowing
why they are doing so.
What this country needs badly is
a leader-a man fearless and able,
one who has not lived a life of
luxury-one who knows the people
who have to work for an existence.
To my mind Roosevelt is not one
to fill the job. Might just as well
have four more years of Mr.. Hoov-
er's prosperity; both are silver
Spooned babies and do not under
stand what it is to be down and
out. Has it ever occurred to you
that there is one man that has the
aggreSSiveneSS of Theodore RooSe-
velt and a Woodrow Wilson; a man
that has lived in just such poverty
and suffering that millions now are
forced into through the lack of
progressive government at Wash
ington. Very few will deny that
Alfred E. Smith is man we'll
qualified and deserving Of fair
chance again to represent the Dem
ocratic party in the coming pres
idential election. One thing is sure,
I believe. That is, if he is the partys
choice many folks will wish to atone
for their mistake in leaving the
party for Hoover in 1928.
Of course things would be in a
bad fix if Smith were President at
this time, but, to my mind, a man
who always has been 100 per cent
for the American people would not
have waited two long years before
trying to remedy the conditions that
are now so prevalent.
Alfred E. Smith is one living man
that would work just as hard for
the people in Indiana as he has
done many years for the people re-
siding in the Empire state. And
Just ask any man who knows any,
thing about General Motors. They
will tell you that John j. Raskob
did more for the laboring man than
any other person connected with
that company.
say this in justice to him, be-
cause of the many abusive remarks
printed about him almost weekly.
This opinion is coming from one
who was persuaded and begged not
to vote for Al because he happened
not to be Baptist or Methodist;

suppository to start the movement
and to direct the baby's attention to
the reason or being placed on the
vessel.
BY the second week, the bowel
movement should be started by the
feeling of the vessel alone. Hold the
baby on the vessel five or ten min
utes before using a Suppository.
Never continue using a suppose
tory regularly for more than two
weeks, as the baby may learn to de-
pend upon it.
When the baby is old enough to
sit alone, place him on a nursery
chair. 1t may be necessary to use
the suppository again for a few days
until he is used to the changed
position.

NEW ORLEANS DRIVE
April 8

ON April 9, 1918, German troops
~ launched their second offensive
against British and Portuguese
positions in the Armentieres sector,
after heavy artillery preparation.
Several villages were taken and
the British troops we're pushed back
by overwhelming numbers of enemy
soldiers. At several points, German
regiments reached the Lys river.
Objective of the drive was to
cripple the British forces still fur
Their and to weaken other sections
of the front by taking or threaten
ing the channel ports.
French reserves were held in
readiness for use on this front if
they should be needed.
Premier Lloyd George of England
asked the British parliament to ap-
prove a man-power bill making
every citizen between 10 and so
eligible for the draft.
He urged immediate passage of
such measure, admitting that the
situation in France was acute.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Many will learn within six months.
If the baby fails to learn by the
end of the third year or, if the baby
once trained, relapSes to infantile
habits, it requires special medical
study and perhaps psychologist ex-
animation to find out just what is
wrong.
The directions for the control of
the bowels follow:
Observe the time at which the
baby usually soils his diaper. At
that hour the next day place small
vessel in the lap and hold the baby
on this, letting him lie against the
left arm.
Repeat this regularly each day at
the same time. The first week it
may be necessary to use glycerin

Word of Warning

A WORD of warning should be
L n given the layman concerning
the use of fever producing appara-
tus. The device at present is an ex-
perimental one, 1t is not yet in
general use in medicine. Only time
will prove its ultimate usefulness.
Two things are important to re-
member. One IS that the device will
not prove a cure-all. It's usefulness
will be limited to certain conditions.
The second is that in the hands
Of an inexperienced operator the
device would prove extremely
dangerous. An induced fever, i'm
properly controlled. easily might
prove fatal.
Use of radio apparatus to induce
fever came about as a byproduct
of experiments conducted with short
wave radio apparatus.
EXperimenterS working in various
laboratories with extremely short
waves began to notice that they
perSpired excessively when the
apparatus was going.
The experimenters also COM
planned about a feeling of warmth,
particularly around the ankles.
Medical men were called in to
make tests and it soon was dis
covered that the waves caused a
rise in blood temperature.
1 visited the General Electric
laboratory at Schenectady while
tests with transmitters generating
an extremely short wave were going
on. The feeling of warmth in the
neighborhood of the transmitter
was very noticeable

TopSided Education

MANY a young man, or young
1V1 woman come; out of college
without ever learning what square
meal costs, not in money alone, but
in labor. Very few have an ap-
preciative understanding of what it
takes to provide the sheer
necessities of life, much less the
luXurieS.
Parents and teachers always
should remember that the big idea
is not to produce efficient gadgets
for a machine, but well balanced
human beings.
Man-made laws are of small con-
sequence to natural laws, and the
same is true of man-made con-
traptions.
We are overemphasizing the
value of those dewdads and gewgaws
which adorn the Show-off side of
civilization, while paying scant at
tention to the stronger forces back
of it.

I one who is not Papist-just one

E. Smith is a man who will work
for all people regardless of their
religious beliefs.
In closing, if the American PEG
pie turn him down on this score,
they deserve to lose their hard
earned savings in closed banks and
should turn to Rudy (Heigh-IIoJ
Vallee to cheer them, which Mr.
President Hoover has suggested
he do.
Wonder why he doesn't enlist
Coolidge TO tell the American peo-
pie some funny jokes to cheer them
up. And to think that Rudy Groom
ing a song will end the depression
and cheer up the thousands of
Americans who are hungry, home
less, and discouraged! What All in
suit to the intelligence of the
American public!
And now, Mr.. Editor, I know you
are not in the habit of making any
apologies for any stands you take,
but in all fairness to the common
people suggest that you square
yourself and for once admit you

prohibition, but since so many peo-
pie associate the prohibition law
with murder and graft, I find it bet
ter to use the word temperance
while denouncing those who oppose
my views:
I leave them no ground on which
decent people could stand. The
people must be either for OF
against the prohibition law, and
those willing even to consent to a
referendum must be clasSed as wet
and opposed to temperance.
I know that the "drys" have a
large majority, which a referendum
would prove, but if the vets were

referendum they could not change
the law. as it would take a wet ma

Love Has Risks

T Owe of children has risky side.
Il 1t can be carried too far for
their own good. Sheltering them is
not always the best idea. Some day,
they will be called upon to shoulder
the burden of life. They should
be trained with that in mind, should
be made to assume responsibilities
as an essential part Of their ed
ucation.
The weakness of present-day life
is the artif1ciality with which it
surrounds children, the false
illusionment it creates by giving
them SO much and by allowing them
to do so little.

Let the Boss Worry

ONCE school is supposed to pre-
- pare them for life, they natural
ly look upon it as like life, and they
get to thinking that life is a place
where one studies more or less I'M
interesting books, takes an eXamina-
ton every so often, passes from one
grade to the other and gets a di-
ploma, while somebody pays all the
bills and does all the dirty work.
They wind up with the assurance
that nothing counts for much OUT
side of an Office, or a white collar
job, that the country would perish
if it weren't for the city, that mod
ern machinery has made physical
effort obsolete, except in sport and
that the chief problem is to get a
job, preferably at a desk, and let the
boss do the worrying.

Forget Fundamentals

INUR children are learning too
" much about games shat can
be played on the ground and too
little about the ground itself.
They are getting an exalted idea
of skyscrapers, paved streets and
bright lights, while they know lit
tie about the sweat and toll re-
quired to produce and maintain
them.
Their idea of milk is bottle
left at the apartment each morn
ing. They think of meat as a red,
cold substance which one buys at
the market.
Their conception of flowers goes
little deeper than the odor and the

BackdOOr Tariffs

While two Democratic presidential candidates
Governor Roosevelt of New York and Governor
Ritche of Maryland on Thursday were speaking
against the high tariff Democrats in congress we're
trying to raise the tariff
In attacking the high tariff Roosevelt and Ritche
were repeating the campaign arguments which the
public has to expect from Democratic candi-
dates, but which seem to be forgotten after the
ddates get into Office
The Democratic house, which just has written
an oil and coal tariff into the tax BILL was elected
in 1880 on lower tariff campaign. Just Presi-
dent Hoover and the Republicans violated their 1928
campaign pledges in enactng the Hawley- Smoot
monstrosty so the Democrats today are breaking
faith with the voters
Now in the senate, Democrats are trying to tack
on the tax bill additional tariff 1eves on lumber,
copper, jute, manganese 1uorspar, and other COM
nodties.
If the Democrats succeed in making higher
tariff bill out of the measure it will mean
log rolling and long delay in passing the needed tax
law and in balancing the budget, and it will mean
further destruction Of trade
That would not be very promising start for the
Democratic presidential campaign.
