Not Much for Hoover

OUCH a set-up removes all doubt
- as to how this election will go.
President Hoover is sure of carry
ing only two states-Maine and Yer
mont. He probably will carry New
Hampshire, Delaware, Kansas and
Wyoming. He may carry Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, though I doubt
it.
When you have said that much,
you have said it all.
Considering the huge majority
with which he was elected four
years ago, President Hoover will go
down as one Of the most thoroughly
repudiated chief executives in our
history; will go to take his place
with the Adamses and Martin Van
Buren,, and his party will be years
recovering from the shock.
The calamity bowling, resorted to
in a desperate effort to change
votes at the. last moment, will not
outlive the election returns. The
first and most pronounced effort of
the change which the American
people have decided to bring about
will be a feeling of renewed hope.
People simply won't go on glcoming
when they get what they want.

Edncatinn's Zern Hour

This education week is the time to heed warnings
of educators and social workers that the American
school system is in danger.
Hard times and high taxes crushing the schools.
Investigations by the National Education Association
of conditions in four-ffths of all cities with popula
tions of 100000 or reveal that school budgets
being cut tbs year an average of 85 per cent under
last and 10 per cent under 1esowhch in many cases
means reduction below the efficiency point
More than IS per cent Of the cities have cut teach
ers salaries already extremely low. Retrenchment is
even heavier in rural sections.
: "Our schools have reached the zero hour" writes
one state superintendent Already, five counties have
announced that they will not open school that they
will close after two three weeks Other counties
will follow similar plans"
= Public education should not need to sell itself to
this republic With all that free scoong means. it
takes only 1856 per cent OF the national income. The
investment in school property is less than "a per
cent Of the national wealth.
Although we are the worlds richest nation we spend
relatively less in taxes than major European countries
Education is at once the most valuable and the
cheapest American commodity. 1t costs only av-
erage of 81 cents day for educating child through
kindergarten and high school, It's dividends in human
values and social benefits fabulous

upon their services is greater than Attendance

Germany will continue under reactionary dicta-
torship. Parliamentary government is buried at least
for while. The republic exists in name only, and
merely because its opponents are too busy fighting
among themselves to take the trouble to junk it.
Such is the meaning Of the German national cleo
ton
The strength Of the Won Papan government in the
new parliament will be hardly than in the last
which voted it down, IL to l. Just the last par
hament dissolved to allow the minority junkers
to continue their dictatorship so the new parliament
probably will be sent home promptly.
Hindenburg may decide that it would be too raw
to retain Won Papen in office after this overwhelm-
ing defeat at the polls, and so unload him. But
whether Won Papen goes or stays is no consequence
whatever; he is only puppet. Any one of score
of other junkers could a facade for a mon
ocle cabinet as we'll he
The real ruler of Germany today, of course is
General Kurt scheicher He is the darling of the
junkers the maker of cabinets the boss of linden
burg, and-the most important of all-master of the
army. Won Schleicher, not Hitler is the Mussoni Of
Germany. =
To Won Schleicher the election is pleasing despite
the failure of his parties to poll more than small
rninorty-he does not need parliamentary strength,
finding it far easier to rule without parliament
1t pleases him because it reveals the popular de-
cline of Hitler the weak competitor of Won Schleicher
for Fascist control Hitler having suffered loss in
popular vote from 38 to 80 per cent of the total within
three months longer hope to seize the govern
ment by legal means
For Hitler it now is the long threatened but al
ways postponed march on Berlin" nothing
Probably Hitler will not march; if he does, Won
Schleicher's army probably will wipe him out.
While these two ounter-revolutonary leaders tight
for power amid the ruins of the republic, the German
people are swinging away from all moderate parties
and toward the revolutionary Left.
The Communist party carried Berlin. Throughout
Germany the Communists gained 10 per cent COM
pared with the July election, and so per cent since
last April Most of the Hitler losses were assertions
to the Communists
The big showdown when it comes, will be between
the unker-capitalist alliance probably still led by
Won Scheicher, and the Communists.
In either case, there seems little hope for resur-
rection of the late Republican and peace policies OF
Germany, which France and Great Britain in their
blindness helped to kill.
For a decade and more the neutrals of the world
have warned that British Imperialism and
mitarsm would destroy the spirit of German paclsm
and int1ame a new German militarism. That no

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
HEALTH SERVICE --
Four Factors Enter Into Infection

Were it not for the fact that hui
man beings develop within their
bodies conditions which make it
difficult for germs to live and grow,
the human race long since would
have been destroyed by the bac-
terra.
However, the resistance which the
human being has because Of these
conditions is not absolute. In the
first place, the condition of the hui
man being changes from time to
time and there is evidence that re-
sistance is decreased when the body
is undernourished greatly, or when
a person is exceedingly fatigued, or
when he has been exposed to sud-
Gen severe changes of temperature
or in several other ways.
Therefore, the line of defense
varies in its strength from time to
time and when the enemy is suf-
f1ciently numerous, or sufficiently
strong, it breaks through.
For this reason, even in the most
severe epidemicS, some people es-

cape, although there are conditions
in which practically every one at
tackled is unable to resist the in
vasion.
Such conditions occur, for exam
pie, when a population among whom
a disease never has previously APP
peared suddenly comes in contact
with the disease.
This occurred in the Farce is
lands, when measles was brought
by ship carrying white men, at
which time more than half the
population of the islands died of
measles.
It some times happens that the
resistance Of the body to one dis
ease is broken down by a mild at
tack of a previous disease.
For instance, a person who has
had influenza or diabetes or tuber-
culosis, thereafter may develop
pneumonia or typhoid fever or rheu-
matte fever or tuberculosis much
easier than he would have pre-
viouSly.

The Scottsboro Decision

None can read without elaton the supreme courts
7-to-2 decision granting trials to the seven Negro
boys sentenced to hang for alleged assault in the
scottsboro affair.
Here was not only even-handed equity for those
of an exploited race but rebuke for those who per-
vert the courts of the land instruments for race
and class intimidation.
There is nobility in these words read by Justice
sutherland:
However guilty the defendants due inquiry
might prove to have been, they were until convicted
presumed to be innocent. 1t was the duty Of the
courts having their cases in charge to that they
were denied no necessary incident of fair trial"
Such justice the seven judges found, has been
denied by the Alabama trial court The Negro boys
were denied time and opportunity to obtain adequate
counsel The trial from beginning to end took place
in an atmosphere of tense hostile and excited public
sentiment"
That they were Ignorant and illiterate" strangers
and stood lin deadly peril of their lives" made the
courts duty to protect their rights imperative
It was unfortunate that Communists sought to
picket the supreme court prior to reading Of the de-
csion Their demonstration of course, had effect,
since the opinion had been reached days before.
The same can not be said for the picketing mob which
helped turn the original Alabama trial into virtual
court lynching.
: The supreme court found that the defendants had
been denied due process under the fourteenth amend
ment ITO hold otherwise, it concluded would be to
ignore the fundamental postulate already adverted
to- that there are certain immutable principles Of
Justice which inhere in the very idea of free govern
ment which no member Of the Union may disregard"
The decision should be warning to lower courts,
especially of the south, that the Negro race still is
protected by the Constitution of the United States.

Destroy SIums

In the midst Of the campaigns sound and FURY
an excellent undertaking of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation has been overlooked generally
1t should receive beIated praise.
The corporation has agreed to loan approximately
four million dollars for construction of model tene-
mems in New York City, and this is by far the best
investment from the standpoint of human dividends
SO far made with the governments big nquidating
loan fund.
New York state is the only one so far whose laws
in regard to tenement replacement through limited
dividend corporations comply with loan requirements
Of the r. F. c. But this fact should be no bar to
generous extension of the new policy.
New York has other similar projects waiting funds
and its need for decent living quarters probably is
greater than that of any other city, 1t should ask
for and receive more loans for this purpose.
Meanwhile, legislatures meeting this winter in
nearly all states should not fail to consider sum
clearance as of the best possible answers to the
general problem of providing work for the unem-
poyed, and should make all possible haste to bring
their laws this subject into compliance with federal
loan requirements.
New York's new model apartments will rent for
no more than $11 room. Altogether 1881 families
will be able to live in Clean healthful surroundings

Hundreds of thousands of others need to be
brought out of the slums into the sunshine and air.

Ideal for Republic

IN my own judgment, that is the
4 ideal condition in republic.
would have small faith in the
future of this country if I felt that
the majority of people were unable
to judge and be guided by the
record Of an administration.
Furthermore, I believe that they
are justified in appraising the
record by its effect on their own
lives. What purpose does a govern
ment serve if not to make things
better for the majority of people?
If that is not the great objective,
why all this talk about living
standards?
Outcome of this particular cleo
ton has been a foregone conclu-
sion since last spring.
Roughly speaking, the average
family failed to get that chicken
in the pot" which it had been
promised. In thousands of cases,
it not only failed to get the chicken,
but lost the pot.
Call such an attitude vulgar, if
you like, but it's human and it
makes votes.
