Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

1T is unfortunate that Mr.. Hoover felt moved to
broadcast an appeal to American women Flat
terlng as 1t may have sounded and proud as we NAV
feel to be designated thus savior that appeal re-
called too many poignant recollections.
Those whose memory run back forty-eight
mouths can remember with what ardor the women
of the United States labored for Mr. Hoover That
campaign more than campaign. It was a
crusade mobilization Of the hosts of righteousness
Farmers wives in the middle west drove their lit
tie Fords and carried the message of Republicanism
to their less enthusiastic neghbors. Other women
travelled by bus and train through the states and over
the nation, at the nsstent urging of party leaders and
with pious zeal recited the virtues of the c. o. p
We rallied like great army, determined to save
land from the mythical dangers of Vatican rule
from New York east side dictation and from return
of the corner saloon.
+ ARGE sums of money went into that crusade In
IL my home state, which normally is Democratic
approximately $4,000 was used, and you'd be sur
received.
When the farmers wife applied for a SIS bill to
buy her gas. she chided gently because she did
not work for love alone.
good many others still are hundreds of dollars
out of purse, for their pains The men somehow dis
ribued these funds to suit their whims and many of
them paid handsomely to make the distribution.
Since that day, what has happened to the Amer
lean woman? She still is holding the sack. Steadily.
slowly perSistently she has been edged out of Office.
She has been edged out of political positions. She
has been edged out of industry.
While we not blame Mr.. Hoover for that, We
can blame the other males of the G.. O. p.
Women are concerned about their country. But it
is beginning to dawn on us that the oftener We
rescue It. the poorer our rewards and the worse
on 1t seems to be. From political parties this year
We should Ike less nattery and more action.

The Law Lays

Inc National Woman's party pointedly expressed
the hope that the United States supreme court soon
to be Housed in its new quarters will acquire new
concepts OF the legal rights of women with its new
abode.
When one recalls that only few months ago the
court refused to hear the plea of Massachusetts
woman that exclusion of her sex from jury lists had
denied her the constitutional guarantee of equal nro
lection of the law, it is easy to sympathze with the
Womans party point of view.
The courts refusal was made in the face of pre-
Wous decision that for any state to debar Negroes
from jury service was an infringement of the Com
stitution.
IN factories and stores in business and professions
IN colleges, at the polls in most of the important CON
tacts OF life women have been recognized as citizens
with an equal right to prove their abilities and mar
ttcipate in life of the nation
The laws lag behind public sentiment as they al
ways do, and farther back lags the supreme court

More American companies will go into the red and
more American workmen will be thrown on the streets
as result of the Canadian British tariff agree
ment The Canadian rates went into effect Wednes-
day and the British rates will follow soon probably
within month. In both cases. American trade is
hard hit.
We can not complain of injustice. Our two best
customers simply are retaliating against our mon

Same Old Struggle

MTHEN Jefferson staged his
w great battle for return of this
government to its people, he was
ostracised by the socially elect and
condemned by the financially strong.
He was called a "Jacobin," and
thousands of people were led to
believe that his opposition to Ger
tain interests foreboded an attempt
at revolution.
In those days, our forefathers did
not stop with describing a man as
unsafe" They went the limit of
the language in their violent and
picturesque designations, using such
words as beast" "fiend," devil
incarnate," "riffraff" and scum,
A century and a quarter Of educa-
ton has taught us how to conceal
our feelings. We are more polite
and less robust, but the old issue
will not down.
Where the Hamiltonians whis-
pered Of monarchy and looked at
reyolution-ridden France with hor-
ror, some of our people have kind
words for Mussolini and SILVER at
the thought of recognizing Russia.
Where the Democrats of 1900
fought to prevent establishment of
centralized power, backed by a big
standing army, the progressives of
today fight to prevent establishment
OF bureaucracy backed by big bust
ness.
In principle, it is the same old
struggle.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Things must be
getting serious in the G. o. P.
camp when Silent Cal is persuaded
to say something "of my party"
The charge has been made, Mr..
Coolidge said, that the Republican
party and its candidates do not
show any solicitude for the welfare
of "the, common run" of peoples
We do not know just what MIR.
Coolidge meant by common rum
but suppose he meant the mass Of
the people, Whatever he meant,
the statement is trues according to
the principles Of Alexander Ham
ilton, founder of the Federalfst
party, that has changed its name
so many times to keep In existence,
and finally parked on the tail end
of the ic-Republican par
tvs name and now calls itself "the
Republican party"
Mr.. Hamilton believed, and said:
That the British government was
the best in the world, and that he
doubted much whether anything
short Of it would do in America"
He also believed that the people
naturally are unequal, and that
rights of minorities must be Sc
cured by checks and balances. That
is the principle on which the Re-
publican party was built, and an
organization is no better than the
principle upon which it was
founded
Hamilton's idea was monarchy,
and we now have it, with a British
subject for President, Mr.. Hoover.
According to Photographic copy,
Mr.. Hoover's registration at the
town hall, royal borough of Ken
sington, for voting purposes in Eng
land, was as follows: Nov. /, 1911;
Oct. 81, 1912; Nov. l, 1912; Noe. 81,
1913; Nov 1, 1913; oct. 81. 1914;
Nov l, 1914, and Oct. 81, 1915. We
all know for person to register
he must be a subject of the coun-
try. Mr.. Hoover must have be-
come British subject to vote in
England, or to register with the
intention of voting 1t also may
account for the high tariff, to give
England a chance to recover some
of her foreign trade, while the
United States is boycoted.

Recovery and Rabbits

AIRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN GAIT
wi is quoted as saying, President
Hoover had no more to do with the
depression than rabbit"
I don't think the smile is alto
gether felicitous, for she goes on to
say, Republican or Democrat, no
one could have stopped it-not a
single man knows how to stop de-
preston; it is like a fever or small
pox."
This argument in favor of the
reelection of the present admins
tration always has puzzled me. We
are told now that Herbert Clark
Hoover's promise to abolish poverty
back in 1928 were beyond the power
of any man to fulfll-which makes
me wonder why he made them.
Natural causes of a deep-seated sort,
far beyond the power of man caused
the depression.
But if that is so does II seem en-
tirely logical to accept the oft re-
peated statement of Mr.. Hoover and
his leaders that the only people
capable of ending the difficulty must
be Republican?
If there were any disposition to
admit that possibly Herbert Clark
Hoover, with the best intentions in
the world. did his bit to get US into
the gully. could see some sense in
saying that he might, through his
knowledge Of the terrain on the way
down, be peculiarly fitted to lead
US back to where We came from.

Energy and Wealth
TINE charts give new picture Of

TINE charts give a new picture Of
Il the trend of our industrial civil
lization, according to Scott.
THE charts give a picture of our
civilization in the only accurate
terms in which it can be depicted,
he says. ut can not be done, as
economists do it, by computing
monetary wealth.
Economics merely is the path
ology of privately-owned wealth.
although monetary wealth is the
only wealth in our price system Of
production, to attempt to evaluate
modern civilization in dollars is to
attempt to build a house with
rubber yardstick.
"The United States, these charts
show, expends in energy 10000
calories per capita day. The figure
for the ancient Greeks and the
modern Chinese is 1000 to 1000
calories per capita a day.
Our great difficulty is the fact
that the tremendous energy ex-
pended in this country is not dis
tributed. =
Under the present industrial
system, unemployment will con-
tinue to increase until a maximum
point is reached, which will bring
about collapse of the system"

THIS might be as good a day as
L any other for disconnected col
umn. For instance, I am panied,
but only to the extent of couple of
paragraphs, by a recent prohibition
speech in which a famous professor,
whose name escapes me, declared:
THE crude, maudlin gregarious-
ness that comes after the third
glass of wine is temporary, de-
ceptive thing-fools gold. You can't
build anything of it"
I wish l could remember the pro-
fessor's name. Id certainly like to
know where he got that wine.
But beyond that am shocked by
the gross materialism of his point
Of view. do not like to think even
of the total abstainer as man who
accepts the proffered sarsaparilla
grudgingly and asks, What is there
in it for me?"

NEW YORK, oct. 15.-Of course
IN a man like Senator Hiram
johnson could not support President
Hoover without subordinating his
conscience and convictions to the
brass collar of partisanship.
The present administration has
done vastly more to justify af'Bull
Moose" movement than did that of
Taft twenty years ago, when SEN
ator johnson lined up with Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Once against, we face an issue
which has plagued this republic
since it was established. Once again.
those who believe in a government
by, of, and for the people find them
selves obliged to forget party aileg-
lance.
Once again, the Hamiltonians
have come into control of the adj
ministration, with vested interests
and special privileges determining
its policy. Once again, smugness
has enthroned itself at Washington,
doing out favors to Goldfish aris-
tocracy, with the idea that no other
way Of helping those in distress is
either safe or righteous.
Once again, the tie between this
government and its people has be-.
come csrcuitous and indirect. Once
again, the soul of Thomas Jefferson
calls across the ages for reform.

THERE now are available to
4 those who want to get sunlight
various methods of securing the
ultraviolet value that it contains.
Natural sunlight may have dis
advantages not associated with the
artificial sources, for sunlight is not
available on cloudy or rainy days,
and varies in intensity with time of
day and season of year.
Use of sunlight outdoors has the
added value of fresh air and the
stimulation that comes with being
outdoors.
The vitamin D value, therefore,
may be available not only in the
sunlight and in artificial light. but
in irradiated foods. in viosterol, cod
liver oil, or in other ways.
A lamp used merely to prevent
ricketts, or a deficiency of vitamin
D does not need to be as powerful
as one used for certain forms of
disease. Among the lamps avail
able for use in the home are those
which develop ultraviolet through

Agriculture Shown by
5000 Charts.
THREE thousand charts, showing
Il the history of as many indus
trial and agricultural products from
1880 to $780,. are being prepared at
Columbia university.
The project. under direction Of
Howard Scott, consulting tech
nologist, is part of the energy
survey of the North American
continent, undertaken Jointly BY the
department of industrial engineer
ing of Columbia university and the
architects emergency committee of
New York.
The survey, according to Professor
Walter RautenStrauch, head of the
department of industrial engineer
ing. hopes to trace exclusively the
industrial and agricultural develon-
ment of the United States during
the last 100 years in terms of pro-
duction. employment and energy ex-
penditure.
The charts will show four basic
facts about each of 5000 products,
ranging from wheat and cotton to
iron and steel.
They are: Amount of energy ex-
pended annually in production,
number of men employed, number
of hours employed, and amount Of
production.
The charts also will reveal, in the
case of each product, rate of
growth of production, decline in
man-power required per unit of pro-
duction, and total installed horse
power required per unit of pro-
duction.
