opposition Of Speaker Joe Cannon and other reac-

chiefly because of the devotion of two women, its
founder Julia Lathrop, and its present head, Grace
Abbott has kept doggedly at work.
No other bureau has asked less and accomplished

Civil Liberties in the South

The action Of the state supreme court upholdng
the conviction of the Negro boys for alleged rape in
the Scottsboro (Ala) case, indicates the special
dangers of mixing the red and black issues in the
south.
1t is probable that the boys would have been re-
leased granted trial if their defense had been
left to the National Association for the Advancement
of Coored People But this only would have indicated
fair play for blacks.
The International Labor Defense interviewed i'm
plying that the boys were reds WELL though to the
defendants Karl Marx was as unknown as Max
PIanck Goethe, or Ben Jonson. This brought into
play the economic fears of the southern capitalists
as well the conventional mob spirit directed against
sex relations between black and white.
The Communists claim that they can not get JUS
tce in American courts The dice certainly loaded
in favor of this thesis when they take the of
alleged red Negroes accused of rape in the far south
But it is hard on the boys.
There is, however an excess labor supply in the
south and martyrdom may provide more glorious
exit for these Negro youths than would accompany
a normal ending of their days
The Alabama supreme court played into the hands
OF the Communists by afnrming their conviction in
u lower courts. There was every ground and 9ppor-
thnity for granting new trial and disconcertg the

The federal governments police ventures have
been singularly unsuccessful.
Bootlegging has hourished under federal prohbi-
ton as it never did under state option. The Mann
act has been used widely for backmai purposes.
Representative Dyer says the courts are sending
young men to Jail for long terms under his automo

Federal police laws which duplicate state and mu-
nicpal laws responsible for the cogged dockets
of courts and for creation of dozens of federal
judgeshipS at $4,000 year each in salary alone.
Now it is proposed that congress enact laws to
unleash the federal sleuths have-and to employ
more spies, ailers, and judges-to punish kidnapping
racketeering and traffic in illegal firearms and stolen
goods in all involving crossing of state line.
Attorney General William Mitchell has pointed
out that the main problem of administering justice
is local one and Calvin Coolidge in discussing pro-
posals for further federal concentration warned that

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times-As a. 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?
1t 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 a Theodore RooSe-
velt and a Woodrow Wilson; 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

qualified and deserving of fair
chance again to represent the DEM.
ocratic party in the coming pres
identia1 election. One thing is sure,
I believe. That is, if he is the party's
choice many folks will wish to atone
for their mistake in leaving the
party for Hoover in 1928.
Of course things would be in
bad fix if Smith we're 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 Every Day Sense

TACK IONDON'S daughter has come home with the
d news that the average Russian takes his marriage
quite as seriously as the average American with MS
Stricter divorce laws
do not believe it makes much difference where
men and women live or what their laws may be- They
long for permanent marriage. This is civilized mans
fondest drean1-a love that will endure.
Every girl who walks to the altar carries this high
hope within her heart. Every man who repeats his
is sustained by vision OF the beauty ana the
everlastngness of love.
And in spite of the marital disasters We see about
us each longs that some miracle may preserve his
faith All are disappointed and disrnayed when this
does not happen.
The reason our dreams shattered so often is
because We make so little effort to keep them whole.
Love disappears because do not coax 1t to remain.
TINE story of our disgraceful behavior at Reno is
i not the story of the failure of marriage: it is
not even the story of the mistakes caused by our
diversified divorce laws. But it is the sorry tale OF
a nation of individuals who haven't the courage to
fight for their happiness.
Three-fourths of all divorces are unnecessary And
larger percentage than that brings more misery to
the individuals than permanent marriage ever could
We never shall discover love by searching Tor 1t in
the mre Of the flesh. The fabric of marriage is in
terwoven closely with physical and spiritual affection
and our chief error is made when We discount the
Importance of either

find our way about in anothers heart.
That is true We are quick to fling away the

We do not stay married long enough to find out what
permanent marriage be.

Other Rays Used
Z Use of radio in treatment Of ais

Use of radio in treatment of dis
~ ease adds one more form of
radiation to medical practice. At

tra-violet rays, X-rays and radium
rays are employed
Nature herself has been making
use of a variety of rays for ages.

contains infra-red rays or heat rays
and ultraviolet rays.
But nature, knowing that too
much of anything is harmful, has
equipped mans skin with mechan-
ism for tanning it.
A coat of tan shuts out the ultra
violet rays of the sun. That is ma
lures method of protecting man.
There is also another interesting
mechanism in nature. The ultra
violet rays of the sun not only in
clude healthful rays, but rays which,
if they reached the earth's surface,
would kill every living creature
upon it.
These extremely short ultra violet
rays, which would be deadly, are
screened out by a small amount of
ozone, form of electrical oxygen,
high in the earth's atmosphere.
There is so little ozone in the at
mosphere, that if all of it were con-
densed into layer upon the earths
surface it would be about three
fourths of an inch in thickness.
Yet there is enough ozone to pro-
tect the inhabitants of the earth.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DEFY

Radio Apparatus Used IN En-
periments IN Effort to Cure
Certain Diseases.
ID Ado, familiar to the world as
N a means of entertainment and
communication, may become form
of medical treatment as well in the
near future.
Experiments being conducted here
and abroad, including experiments
in the laboratories Of the General
Electric Company, and in certain
New York hospitals, indicate that
radio may prove an effective treat
ment for certain diseases
The apparatus used, known as a
radio thermic oScillator resembles
the apparatus used in short-wave
radio tranSmitters.
The energy developed, however, is
not used to radiate a wave from an
antenna, as in the case of radio
tranSmitter. Instead, the energy
is used to create an electric field
between two metal plates.
The patient, placed between these
two plates, absorbs the energy and
as a result is heated internally to
the point that he develops all
symptoms of a fever-high tempera-
ture, increased pulse rate. and
so on.
Radio fever" developed in this
way. has been tried as a means of
treating arthritis.

Bread Without the Circus

policy unemployment insurance on the ground that
1t is a dole.
1t would, they say, demoralize the American work
Ing class and impose great financial burden on
the government The success and invaluable con-
tributon Of such insurance systems abroad have not
been sufficient to expose shallowness of this oppos-
ton.
Now, by this free distribution of state-owned
wheat have reverted to what has been the classic
example of the dole throughout all history-the
Roman dole Of wheat When anybody wished to point
TO the horrible results of public charity he invariably
brought up the Roman distribution of grain to the
impoverished masses
Bread and circuses" has been the phrase which
has rung down through the ages to symbolic the
corruption and generalization of state and populace
alike
Not only has government distribution of grain been
regarded the worst type of public charity it also
is far more expensive to the state than unemploy-
ment insurance
The state never bears the total burden in unem-
ployment insurance. Usually it bears one-thrd, the
other two-thirds being assessed against labor and
employers.
Some recently have suggested compulsory unem-
ployment insurance, in which the state would be
released almost entirely from any financial obligations
American workers, by hundreds of thousands are
near starvation today Free wheat is necessity But
1t Is well to emphasize the actual crudty of this
wheat dole, so we may take steps to prevent any
necessity of its repetition in the next slump
