Smith-Win or Lose

Whether ne is nominated not, Alfred E Smith
Will go forth from the Democratic national conven-
ton of 1882 bigger man than ever.
Should he win, he will be elected Should he lose,
he is not through. His stature grows.
His performance during the convention has en-
deared him even to the hearts of those who vote
against him. He could have injected bitterness-for
a man who loses because of his religion has reason
to be bitter Instead, he injected humor good cheers
craftsmanship
He worked in the ranks, and to him goes the i'm
mediate credit for the greatest platform in the po-
litical history of this generation. Day by day. since
his arrival in Chicago he has put party above per-
sona interest He is the spiritual father of the finest
document within our memory
1t is, therefore, only natural that his record his
personality his performance drew forth one of the
finest tributes paid to human being The
speech by Governor Ely will live as long as there is
literature of politics.
Win or lose, that tribute stands. What Ely said
about the need of the times will rise again again
in the memory of those who read or heard it
"Shan we admit that education and prosperity

left only specializing, doubling equivocating and

Let end government by doubt; let establish
a government of decision, of action and of progress.
IF we could recall from the shades of a retreat

only to lift our voices and nominate him by accama-
ton to show the way would it be jefferson, the po-
ltcal philosopher, or the logged and determined
Cleveland?
would our eyes turn to the scholarly and ideal
istic Wilson, or do these times demand the rough yet
tender rude yet appealing, fiery yet sensible and
potent decision of Andrew Jackson?"
Whether Alfred E. Smith is nominated or not. this
generation and future generations will sense the pro-
phetic nature of that declaration.
The times call for a Jackson.

Rabies is primarily a disease of
dogs; however, it can also affect
any other animal. Contrary to COM

Health officers now recognize that
it is the stray and homeless dog

for transmitting this disease.
The dog kept in a good home US

Need for Research

THE great rise of Germany prior
l. to the World war was the great
development of scientific research,
which paved the way for expansion
in chemical and allied industries.
MANY leaders have pointed out
that we have within the last gen.
Grafton drawn upon our accumula-
ton of knowledge at a far greater
rate than we have added to it."
Industrial and Engineering Chem
istry continues.
"The enforced cessation of re-
search in some industrial labora-
tories, the decline in supported fell
lowships and the inability of quail
fed workers to remain in post grad
uate studies threatens to reduce
still further our fund of new knowl-
edge.
THE plan deserves the support of
educational institutions, of the
chemical profession, and of the pub
lie at large"
According to the plan as outlined
by the New York committee, pub
lie or semi-public funds would be
used to pay salaries of the chemists
while the laboratories in which the
work was done would pay for ma
terialS and overhead.
The committee states that de-
partment heads Of almost every
university and technical institution
in the New York metropolitan area
have approved the plan, if funds
can be found to make it work.
1t is also stated that many uni
versity authorities are eager to see
more research work undertaken in
fundamental chemical fields.
They point out that in recent
years, much of the research was
highly specialized, often consisting
of work on specific industrial prob
lens carried out with donations for
research furnished by corporations
seeking investigations in their own
special field.

Stats Dismissed

INDICATIONS are that several
l. large industrial organizations
have dismissed research stats in
recent months, the committee says,
in pointing out the need for keep
ing up research work.
The committee has 632 unem-
ployed chemists registered with it.
The great majority of these, the
committee says, are research chem
lists.
The committee estimates, how
ever, that there must be about $500
unemployed chemists in the New
York area.
While the committee is a local
New York committee, and there
fore interested only in solving it's
own local problem, it is pointing a
method which we'll might be COM
sidered in other parts of the United
States.
Scientific research has brougFa
the world to its present stage of ins
dustrial development. 1t also ma1
be true that science and engineers
ing, by making mass production 80
simple matter, has helped usheh
IN the present depression.
But the blame in all fairness CAT,
not be put upon the scientists fol
doing their job so well.
Economies and the social sciences
have been unable to keep up with
physical science.
At any rate, it seems reasonable
to suppose that the present situas
ton is one in which we used all the
wisdom which the world can mus
ter.
Therefore, it would seem that the
plan suggested by the New YORK
committee merits careful study and
consideration.
1t is a generally accepted fsci
that those companies able to keen
up their scientific research viii
emerge from the depression in the
strongest condition.
They will be ready to take advan-
tage Of the new day. Might not the
nation as a whole benefit bv ac.

time? ''

The galleries cried, Gal! All" as
if their hearts would break, and the
man from Fulton fish market smiled
for awhile and then began to cry.
Suddenly he broke through the din
with that curious voice, half Caruso

speaks, the nose has it. 1t cut like
a sharp blade, fish knife, through
the uproar. Al carries his own

He began to operate on Cordell
Hull, who already was cut and
bleeding.
1.-The fact" rasped Smith, that
the senator only found out in the
last three days that there is senti-
ment for repeal, just is too bad"
With a right and left, left and
a right, Smith tore into the argu-
ments of the Tennessee dry and the
crowd stood up as if this truly were
a main bout for a title and not
merely political convention.
Cordell Hull had quoted from a
statement of AIS, made during the
1928 campaign, which obviously was
far less dripping in its temper than
the majority prohibition plank for
which Smith now was speaking.

I SUPPOSE that, among the many
l. reasons which induced millions
to vote against Al Smith four years
ago, not an inconSiderable number
OF thousands were alienated by the
fact that he chose to call the in
struments which brings crooners to
our homes "the raddio."
I did not sit in upon party coun-
sells, but it is inevitable that this
TACT was called to his attention by
friends and advisers. But Al is no
man to swap pronunciation while
crossing a stream.
He will change neither a I'd" nor
devotion, no matter how the vote
may go. Raddio it was and raddio
it shall remain, though it splits the
solid south and tears untrammeled
democracy asunder.
Accordingly, when his name was
placed in nomination, I did a thing
which is against the rules of the
convention correspondents union
and of other organizations to which

the animal should be penned up or
kept secured for least ten days,
during which time it either will die
or develop symptoms of hydropho-
bia if it has that disease.
Should the animal show symp-
toms, the Pasteur treatment should
be begun Immediately.
In case a person has been bitten
on the face, neck or head, it is adj
visable to begin the Pasteur treat
ment at once, without even waiting
to see whether or not the animal
develops symptoms, because of the
special danger associated with bites
in these regions.
Far too often when police are
called to kill a dog suspected of
hydrophobia the dog is shot in the
head or the head crushed with a
club.
This should not be done, because
it is difficult for a laboratory to
make satisfactory examination
when the brain has been injured.
The diagnosis is made by finding
the Negri bodies in stained speci-
mems taken from the brain.

Editor Times-What is to become
of the working man who tolls on
our public highway for Is cents

nine hours day? This totals
about $40 for weeks work and
does not pay rent and grocery bills,
let alone the back bills. This is
driving men to become criminals.
as they can not take care of a
family on this scale.
Children under these conditions
are not fed properly and are I'M
dernourished and become mentally
and physically undeveloped. This
IS causing our state institutions to
become crowded, not with criminals,
as we are made to believe, but with
undeveloped children who should
DE cared for. This is causing an
extra expense on the taxpayer by
our state neglecting the individual.
Trucks are hired for as low as
21a and 3 cents mile. We should
have a state wage scale to protect
the laborer and also to protect con-
tractors and keep them from tax
ing advantage Of the workingmen.
According to the state highway
department, business cars cost ap-
proximately 10 cents a mile. In
comparison to more than $500 that
! it cost our state government to con-
vey 300 ex-service men across the
state of Indiana any man working
trucks under contractor on the
highways could have furnished
transportation to Washington and
would have had a nice profit on
this at the wages they are paid
now.
Our nations cry is to start con-
struction as soon as possible for
the relief Of unemployed. AS long
as conditions exist they are not
helping the unemployed.
No man is lucky who can not get
wage that will support his family,
especially on jobs that are tempo
rary, as. construction of our high
ways are, but five to six months
jobs at the longest, and they are
supposed TO make enough to live
on for the entire year.
This can not be done until there
is q uniform wage for season work.

Party Hardly Can | ose

. EGARDLESS of who is nomi-
IN mated, one finds it hard to
see how the Democratic party can
lose. With that proposition in
mind, it would be unfair not to
give credit where credit is due.
This platform, which has lifted
the Democratic party from a level
OF mere opposition to one of obvious
leadership in national affairs, which
has met with favorable reception
by press and public, which amounts
to little less than guarantee of
victory next fall, and which comes
as a welcome tonic in this hour of
oeWilderment, reflects the views of
no man so faithfully as those of
Alfred Emanuel Smith.
If you have read Mr.. Smiths
statements and recommendations
during the last tire years, you have
read the Democratic platform. In
all essentials, it is his plan of pro-
cedure, put in crisp, concise form.
BY every law of logic, he should
be selected to carry it out. If he
is not: if some other man gets the
benefit of his wonderful foresight:
he still should be remembered as
its author, not in the sense of
phrase-making, but in the sense of
genius,

Men do not wander down primrose paths because
they desire evil and ugliness, or because they are

dreams usually assume feminine form although
they may have their inception in far more subtle
longings than those of sex.
T MUS sometimes the husband of an inpeccable wife
may stray. When he does so, he is a tragic as
we'll as a culpabe figure.
The life of the average man is singularly devoid
of either beauty He lives in a world of
arid empty of all imagined loneliness, and with old
age and death shadowy in the far distance
In such world he dares not expose, even to him

things that might shame what he is pleased to call
his manhood.

The Democratic Party, in It's
Platform, Has Given the
Country q Much-Needed
Example of Courage and
Initiative.
NEW YORK, July 1.-The Demo-
IN cratic party has done more
than write platform short enough
to read, plain enough to understand
and frank enough to challenge con-
fldence.
1t has given the country a much
needed example of courage and
initiative. The psychological effect
will be as profound as the political
effect.
For the first time in many years.
the American people are promised
definite and constructive action with
regard to several of their ma ior
problems.
For the first time since Woodrow
Wilson left Office, they see signs of
real leadership on the horizon.
You are going to see things hap
pen before November. You are 60
ing to see the American people put
forth greater efforts because of their
renewed hope, and you are going to
see conditions improve as the re-
suit.
