SOCIALISM HIT.
BY VAN 0RSDEL

Striking at vicious socialistic
tendencies" in American politics,
Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel,
president general of the National
Society Sons of the American
Revolution, warned against GEN.
tralization of power in the Ma.
tional Government as the society
opened its forty-third annual con-
gress at the Mayflower Hotel.
With socialistic Communism
manifesting itself everywhere,
Judge Van Orsdel continued,
democracy in this country will
fail if the tendency toward disinte.
grafton of the dual system of
State and National Government
continues.
Enemies of organized govern
ment have seized the opportunity
in these "troublous times of fl
nancial distress and prevailing
unemployment" to undermine and
destroy American institutions, he
declared. ..
The delegates were received by
President Hoover at the White
House at noon. The President
sent greetings to the congress,
which were read by the president
general.
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer,
president of the Board of District
Commissioners, and Mrs. Russell
William Magma, president general
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, also greeted the dele
gates.

Answer-You said it. Your intelli-
gence is evidently of high order, but
your ignorance is as deep as that of
all the wiseacres. A tapeworm can
start" only when the human host in
gests the larva of the worm in raw or
underdone beef that happens to be
"measly," that is, infested with the
tapeworm larvae. If tapeworm is fond
of sugar, it is odd that the adult stage
prefers the alimentary canal of man
and the larval stage the muscles of
cattle. It doesn't matter what food
tapeworm prefers. The quantity of
food necessary to maintain tape
worm is insignificant in any circum-
stance.

This review was established under

1922 for the purpose Of "a sober and
non-partisan review which would aid
in developing a reasoned American

carry abroad authoritative express

The editors in this anniversary
number frankly set forth in the FORE
word the following:
1.-THE articles In Foreign Affairs do
not represent any concensus of be-

of the review will sympathize with
all the sentiments they find there,
for some Of our writer's will flatly
disagree with others: but we hold
that while keeping clear of mere va

to guide American public opinion by
a broad hospitality to divergent ideas
than it can by identifying itself with

Another Blow at the ms
(New York Times)

Wisconsin has committed sacrilege
and rebelled against a prince Of the
blood. Governor Kohler, defeated in
the primaries two years ago, beat
Governor LaFollette in Tuesdays
primaries. Senator Blaine has gone
down before young Editor Chapple,
whose rather fantastic campaign
seemed directed mainly against the
University of Wisconsin and the
Progressives, regarded as budding
Communists. He couldn't be too abb
surd for voters sick of unemployment
and depression and inclined to turn
on the men in power. Mr.. Hoover
and national affairs had no part in
the primary campaign. The presi-
dents name was scarcely mentioned.
It was not deemed prudent to men
ton it.
Governor LaFollette's administra-
ton was bitterly attacked and stren-
uously defended. Failure to keep his
promises, deception about the Incl
dence OF taxation for unemployment
relief, high cost of government,
strangling OF business, his ingenious
desire to redistribute wealth were
urged against him. They might have
been urged in vain in ordinary cir
cumstances, but a large number of
the voters, rural and urban, were
not to be appeased. They were "agin
the government" And the Wiscon-
sin system, by which primary voter
gets the ballots of all parties and
votes the one he chooses, failed the
LaFollettians this year.
The Democrats, so long practically
absorbed into the Progressives, came
out with tremendous strength at the
spring primaries. This allowed the
conservative Republicans to win
majority Of the delegates to the ma
tional convention. Not since the
birth of direct primaries had such q
result occurred before. Under Re.
publican disguise, with Democratic
and sometimes with Socialist help,
the Progressives have long been able
to rule the roost, when united. There
are few more ardent and loquacious
friends OF the people in the senate
than Mr.. Blaine, few spenders there
more eager to shovel out money from
the treasury. He IL not beaten as .
Progressive but as q symbol Of gen.
eral resentment against the "ins."
The Democratic revival in Wisconsin,
the rupture Of an old alliance, is an
other ominous sign for the Republi-
cans.
In Governor Lafollette's message
to the legislature in 1891 he recom-
mended an amendment Of the elec-
ton law whereby nomination by q
majority IN the primary should be
held equivalent to election. What
does he think Of that proposal nowp
And what is he going to do? Take
his medicine or bolt?

The Forgotten Man

Franklin D. Roosevelt in a radio
speech financed by the manufacture
ers of a popular cigarette quite nom
chalantly referred to the forgotten
man." It was all done in the way of
a political aside. Suddenly it was
caught up and the forgotten man"
is being discussed if not with the fer
vor Of some past issues, the reference
at least has given color to what
might have been a very drab cam
paign.
Now comes the Chemical Founda-
ton with a reprint of speech on
THE Forgotten Man," rediscovered
after so years. This address was
given in 1883 by William Graham
Sumner, then professor of political
and social science in Yale university.
The Yale University Press of New
Haven, Conn, is republishing the
speech because eyes are focused up
on the forgotten man" whose vote
may determine a national presiden-
tial election.
Professor Sumner described the
forgotten man of 1883 and he does
not differ much from the specie of
1882. Here is how he looked to the
Yale scholar in the early Dos:
"He works. he votes. generally
be prays-but he always pays
yes, above all, he pays. He does
not want an office; his name
never gets into the newspaper
except when he gets married or
dies. He keeps production going
on. He contributes to the strength
or parties. He is strongly
patriotic. He is wanted when
ever. in his little circle, there is
work to be done or counsel to be
given. He may grumble some oc-
casionally, but he does not fire.
quent the grocery store or talk
politics at the tavern. Conse-
quently, he is forgotten. He is
commonplace man. He gives
no trouble. He excites no admir-
alton. Therefore. he is forgot
ten. All the burdens fall on him
or on her. for it is time to re-
member that the forgotten man"
is not seldom a woman"
But what does Professor Sumner
propose for the forgotten man:
What the forgotten man"
needs, therefore. is that we come
to a clearer understanding of
liberty and to a more complete
realization of it. Every step which
We win in liberty will set the "for-
gotten man" free from some of his
burdens and allow him to use his
powers for himself and for the
commonwealth"
Not such bad keynote for a 1882
presidential campaign.
