A FINE SPEEcH-BUT-

We recently listened to radio cam
paign speech by Norman Thomas, socialist
candidate for president. It was a very able
speech, which painted the glories of the
socialist plan of government in the bright
est of bright colors.
Mr.. Thomas made several statements
with which most of us will readily agree ::
That it is tragic that with so many natural
resources, with the finest of industrial ma
chinery, and with all our other advantages,
we still have poverty and want in our midst.
That the few have more of wealth and
comfort than that to which they are justly
entitled, while the many have far less And
so on.
But
While the socialist scheme of govern
ment control of everything may be very
fine in theory, it omits consideration of the
most vital of all economic facts-human
nature. The socialist theory assumes that
change in our governmental system would
change human nature. And on this false
assumption the whole theory falls to the
ground.
Under any system of government there
must be leaders to plan and direct the mass
of the people. These leaders must have
power over their fellowmen, and power is
an even more potent incentive than mere
wealth. In the hands of INSCRIPTIONS men
it is always abused.
Nowhere in the world is there more
fragrant abuse of power than in Russia,
where practically every vestige of in
dividual liberty has beer destroyed under
the Soviets. The common people are little
if any better off than they were under the
tyranny of the Cars. Yet Russia rep
resents the very apotheosis of the socialist
idea.
Mr.. Thomas made fine speech in
support of fine-sounding theory. The
only weak point about it is that it won't
work, so long as human nature is what it is.

PEOPLE ARE INTELLIGENT

Instead of calling on the memory of
Abraham Lincoln for endorsement, the
political masters of the republican party
might VIII have gone to his precepts for
advice. 1t was Lincoln who said that the
people could not be fooled all of the time.
The masters of the republican organ
ization, the men who provided the cam
paign funds and took down the profits pro-
vided by tariff and financial legislation,
managed to fool the people from 1920 to
1882, but twelve years is long time, even
in the history of a nation.
The American people are intelligent.
They can reason from effects back to
causes and they have done so.
1t took almost ten years for the policies
of the republican organization and its ma
tional administration of public affairs to
dissipate the profits and wealth of the
American nation.
It has not taken the American people
long to realize what these political pro-
fiteers have done to them. They are in
telligent enough in the mass for that.

SOME FORCED ENDORSEMENTS

Political leaders of experience in re-
publican politics admit that the Hoover
campaign has collapsed and that the next
two weeks will see panic on the part of
republican candidates everywhere, with
many of them throwing the national ticket
overheard in frantic attempt to save their
own candidates..
Following the speeches of the presi-
dent. both of which proved to be "duds"
after the first emotional wave of sympathy
had spent itself. the political leaders called
OH the shades of Abraham Lincoln and
Theodore Roosevelt to help out.
Abraham Lincoln knew nothing of the
type of politician in control of the repub-
lican party organization of today. except
that men of the same type in his day We're
bitterly opposed to him He was against
physical slavery and probably would take
a stand against industrial slavery were he
alive today

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

The powerful will continues in
the children Of today and in some
ways the indications are better
than in the last two days. The
nature is generous. the inspirations
are scientific, and while not at all
pessimistic. the mind is developed
in solitude, but with a true per-
spective of life and affairs. For
tune should follow this degree, un-
less there are exceedingly bad as
poets.

Beebe To Broadcast
 From Ocean Depths

A voice from half a mile below the surface of the sea will be broadcast over National Broad casting Company networks next month when William Beebe, fam- ous scientist and director of the Department of Tropical Research of New York Geological society, makes his next descent deep into the waters off .Nonsuch Island, Bermuda.
 Beebe sailed for aNonsuch on August 13, to continue his explora- ton of the ocean's depths, into which he already has. descended mile.
 Shortly three engineers of the National Broadcasting Company will follow, and set up equipment to carry the scientists voice from Davy Jones, locker to American homes.
 Beebe will describe for lister ners the sensation of being suspended in a metal ball, which he calls bathysphefe, far below the reach of the warming sunlight, and also the strange life which he observes through the small fused quartz window of the sphere.
 On previous deep sea expeditions Beebe has kept in touch with his assistants on the surface by tele- phone. This time the whole coun- try ' will have an opportunity to listen in.
 While Beebe's record descent to date is 1,426 feet, he has lowered the bathsphere 2.450 feet empty in tests to determine its powers of resistance. He hopes this year to achieve a depth of half mile him. self.
 The unusual broadcast is at present, scheduled for, either Sep- tember II or IS, depending upon weather conditions. The bathy- sphere cannot be handled in rough seas. as the mother ship must be quiet.
 The submarine balloon is built to withstand tremendous pressure from the sea. In the deepest pre- vious dive, the pressure was S. 732,469 pounds, or $50 pounds per square inch.
 Under these conditions, Beebe pointed out, there Is no possibility of drowning if window or door gave way. The first few drops to enter would shoot through flesh and bone like bullets. Yet delicate jelly fish float through these dark regions with damage.
