OF all the propaganda put out by the G. O. P
factory the attempt to dress up Jack as dangerous
fellow is the most absurd.

this occasion of acceptance that the Republicans

During the many years that he has consistently
served every of special privilege and plumber
the defenders Of Watson have always insisted that he
was their tool because he believes in special privilege
and not through self interest
This year the veil is lifted trifle by the revea-
tons of the Watson deal in sugar stock when tariff
pending that had for its purpose the IN
creasng of the price of sugar to every citizen for the
profit of the sugar importers.
While that measure was pending lobbyist, per-
haps principal in the sugar business gave Watson
stock in a concern which expected to profit by the
tariff revision.
In return, Watson gave his note. There was no
passing of money If the stock went up, through the
influence of the tariff Watson would take the profit
If it went down, he stood to lose nothing. AS a
matter of history, the stock went down and Watson
laughs and says that his note was worthless and the
stock was worthless callous insult to the intel

would be termed a confession, rather than an ex

Watson is back home now. He is asking for votes
because of the passage of the home loan bank bill,
which he delayed for months
The people who listen may be entranced by his
oratory They should be interested in the
sugar deal.
Does Indiana want senator who trades worth
less notes for stock in asking for the legal
right TO raid their pocketbooks?

/ great seriousness of this symptom
and have outlined a procedure for
the care of such cases in which
there is one supreme consideration.
That consideration is immediate
placing of the patient at rest and
securing of complete rest by the
use of proper sedative or narcotic
drugs.
If such a patient has been kept
absolutely quiet for a sufficiently
long time to indicate readaptation
of the heart to conditions of living,
other measures may be used.
There are other cases in which
pain may occur in the heart, such as
hardening of the arteries and de-
generative changes of the arteries
of the heart, infection of the blood
vessels, and the various types of
rheumatic disease.
In every instance, pain must be
considered as indication for the
most careful and complete examina-
ton by physician who is familiar
with the action of the heart and
with disorders of that action and
their manifestations.
Pain is the warning signal and
never should be neglected, although
sometimes it indicates no really Seri-
Gus trouble. The chances are too
great to take.

XXTHEN Jimmy Walker strapped
w his sword and buckler on, he
told his cheering followers that he
was going out to do battle and meet
the challenge which had been flung
against him.
He promised to trade blow for
blow. From his fist facts were to
f1y-facts as hard and compelling
as the smooth stones which David
sought in the brook before he slew
Goliath.
And Jimmy was all hot and eager.
Not only did he hold out hopes Of
yet another Armageddon, but he
even intimated that he might reach
this field on time.
Yet what are the sounds which
rise today along the front of the
Walker Expeditionary Army? We
hear no clank of any city hall
Excalibur biting into the sharp
metal of the charges. Even though
we strain our ears, the most which
rises from the mayors encampment
is the soft swish of rose petals

red tape unrolled continuously, and
a low and hesitant voice saying
endlessly, Il don't remember"

Nothing New Created

MEANWHILE, it should be per-
1V1 fectly obvious that there are
certain principles which never
change; that nothing, indeed, can
be accepted as a principle in the
true sense, if it does change.
Human progress is based, not on
inventions, as we call them, but on
discoveries. Nothing new has been
created by man in a fundamental
sense. He merely has found and
isolated a certain number of ele-
ments and learned how to apply a
certain number of laws.
Scientists are we'll aware of this.
They realize that everything is
governed by immutable laws, and
that mans only hope of lettering
his condition lies in discovering and
applying those laws.
More than that, they realize that
comparatively few laws have been
discovered.

Good Advice

Two important things not on the program came out
of the administrations conference with business
leaders at Washington Friday. Chairman Franklin
Fort of the federal home loan bank board announced
limited moratorium on mortgage foreclosures. And
the President urged system of shorter hours to abb
serb unemployment by spreading work
Every national bank receiver has been ordered to
suspend foreclosure proceedings for sixty days and
state authorities have been requested to issue similar
orders.
But Chairman Fort went farther In appealing to
industrial and financial leaders he said: 1--WE want
your help to see not only that receivers generally
grant this sixty day respite but that other lenders do
likewise"
Perhaps he did not intended to make such
qualified and sweeping appeal for a general
forum all loans; perhaps he thinking only of
real estate rather than "other lenders" But in any
the policy is important.
To millions of worthy citizens who are on the point
of losing all their possessions through fault of their
own, this will seem like a stay to a condemned man.
Every lender of money should keep this warn
ing by Fort on his desk until the depression ends:
There times when forced liquidation of in
debtedness is notwithstanding, if any other
means of procuring funds exists. Payment may be
nominated in the bond but, Porta proved it may
not be exacted rightfully when payment drains the
life blood And in these days, the courage and hope
of and women are the life blood of our re-
covery"
The Presidents plea for shorter work day or
week as method of giving employment to many of
the unemployed was all the more welcome because
few days ago the White House announced that this
vital subject would not be discussed at this confer
ence.
He does not exaggerate in stating: TT is doubtful
whether any action could take at this time would
accelerate so greatly our progress"
This, however, can not be achieved merely by di-
vding existing low pay rolls among larger number of
workers. Only larger pay rolls create larger
mass purchasing power
Fortunately several industries have proved by ex-
perence that the shorter work day or week at the
standard wage scale is profitable to them Here is q
fruitful field for this national business committee

Robe for Emperor

OR if there were only opportu-
- nifty for him to be reminded
OF story. AS things are, it seems
to me that James j. Walker stands
before the bar Of justice clad in
nothing but his charm.
And to these eyes it looks very
much as if it we're about time for
some -urchin to shout, He hasn't
got anything on!'
James J. Walker has lived to be-
come a legend and myth. He was
the well beloved of the city of New
York. And they said that nothing
could disturb the hold which he
possessed upon the heart of the
magical city.
But, though myth may be years
in the making, it can be swept away
with the wave Of firm and steady
hand. Even Ajax may defy the
lightning once too often. 1t is a
long bolt which has no turning.
James j. Walker himself has re-
moved the contest from the open
meadows where the trumpets blow
and sought seclusion in the swamps.
IN a spiritual sense he is a fugitive
as much as Sherwood, for he has
not been willing to face the issue
of the facts.
He is not fighting for his good
name and his honor. Every recent
move has been to bring about a
stalemate rather than a victory.
1t is evident that by now James
J. Walker would be content with
a great deal less than vindication.
He has been reduced to the point
where he IS willing to accept a mea-
ger mot proved"
Moneys received from Sisto and
others are admitted. The best the
mayor presents in his own behalf
is that he made no return for these
"beneficences."

Faith in Miracles

TWENTIETH century supersti-
l. ton is fastened to faith in
man-made miracles. Russian Com
munism never could have accom-
pliShed what it has without truly
religious complex. The tomb of
Lenin has become another shrine.
Men simply have to believe in
something which is beyond their
understanding and which can be
depended on to save them from
their own follies.
The waves of agnosticism which
are running high in many places
find curious reflection in this be-
lief that, no matter how blind or
stupid the common run of people
may be, some genius will arise
whenever they need help.
You can only wonder where it
will all end.

NNE of the most serious types of
~ heart disease which seems to
be somewhat more frequent now
than it used to be, perhaps because
of the greatest stress and speed of
modern life, is that known as coro-
nary Thrombosis, or cardiac infrac-
ton.
In this condition the blood vessels
which feed the heart suddenly be-
come blocked and as result a por-
ton of the tissue of the heart fails
to receive the nutrition it needs.
The blocking of the vessel of the
heart may be caused by clot or
collection of germs brought from
elsewhere in the body, or possibly
by sudden change in the wall of
the vessel
In such circumstance a person
may be killed outright, due to the
sudden shock to the mechanism of
the heart from the shutting off of
the blood supply.
If, however, the person RECEIVERS

NEW YORK, Aug, Give live
L Y in an era of industrial empires.
1t is the first of its kind and rests
on a wholly new basis of human
effort and organization.
There always have been empires
of one kind or another Generally
speaking, they grew out Of fear,
tradition, or belief. Their origin was
romantic, rather than intelligent
Average people had little part in
their formation or control, and,
consequently, little benefit from
their grandeur.
The empires of this era are diff
ferent. They owe their existence
to the ingenuity of humble folk.
They were brought into being by
inventions, discoveries, and stu
dents. They are sustained by mass
intelligence.
Take steel, the telephone, cleo
tricity, or any other thing around
which great enterprises have devel-
oped and you will find some genius
at the beginning and mass con-
sumption in the end.
We are dealing with the first
group of empires in which mere
human beings, as such, play an i'm
portant part, and in which indi-
vidual achievement is being social
lied for the common good. These
very characteristics, however, con-
stitute a source Of weakness.

Astronomers Hope to Gain
Valuable Knowledge From
Aug. 81 Eclipse.
BY DAVID DIETZ.

astronomers nope 10 Gam
Valuable knowledge From
Aug. 81 Eclipse.
IMPORTANT observations which
l. astronomers hope to make dur
ing the total eclipse of the sun on
Aug 81, can be classified under ten
headings. They are as follows:
ONE: Determination of the ex-
act position of the moon at the
time of the eclipse and the exact
time at which the eclipse begins
and ends.
This information is exceedingly
valuable in checking theories of
the motions of the moon. Al
though the equations for the moons
motion are veritable marvels of
mathmatics, there still are some
irregularities in the motion of the
moon which have not been &C
counted for.
TWO: Direct photography of the
eclipse. The shape and appear
ance OF the solar prominence and
the corona are important. The
solar prominences are great red
tongues of fiery gases extending I'D
from the suns atmosphere or chro-
moSphere.
At the time of eclipse, they ex-
tend beyond the dark disc of the
moon. The corona is the great
silvery halo around the sun, which
becomes visible only during an
eclipse.
THREE: Photography of the
sky around the eclipse. The bright
er stars become visible during an
eclipse.
One of the chief verhcations OF
the Einstein theory is that these
star images are shifted from their
proper places during an eclipse. Such
photographs are made at each
eclipse, as further check on the
theory.
Such photos also are checked for
possible appearance of planet
closer to the sun than Mercury, the
closest known planet.
