Dogs, cats, rabbits and other
larger animals live for several
hours under an aneSthetic with
the mechanical heart. It's value
is in enabling students and

primary in March. Will the direct western ways of Murray, who liked to be called Alfalfa Bill" make an early prophetic inroad on Demo- cratic regularity there?
 Is Alfalfa Bill' right in suppos- ing New Englanders are ready to subscribe to the rallying cry issued from Murray headquarters in Chi cago, describing the present era as this crucial period of unpreceden- ted depression and turmoil, when faith in government is all but lost; when respect for law and order is al but crushed; when our proud flag of sovereign rights is all but -rampled in the duty highways of idle and suffering humanity"
 Such a campaign can only pEe- suppose a political condition like that which produced Bryan in '96.
 Right or wrong, the concept and the dream are notable contribu- ton to the history of these open ing days of politics-troubled '32.

STAMPS ON BANK CHECKS.

Even during the stress of war when the country was taxing everything that would yield revenue ana the people were urged to give until 1t hurts, the Government rejected the proposal to tax bank checks and drafts And it did right. tax on bank checks inevitably would result in reduction of bank deposits Money would be taken from checking accounts ana find lodgment in safes, tin cans, old stockings
 MT Melons proposed tax on bank checks would do lot more harm than the revenue 1t would nroduce would do good It would have tendency to slow down business rather than to relieve the depression.
 It is surprising that MT Mellon, himself banker, would suggest such thing. It was rejected by MT McAdoo and the Wilson Administration It ought to be- and probably will be- rejected now.

Why a New Department?
(Nation's Business.)


 The report of the Presidents National Advisory Committee on Education ought to get a cordial response from business for point which it stresses:
 That school management should not be centralized in Washington but should be left to the States and to smaller political units
 Here's a pertinent sentence from the report:
 The political domination of education by
 remote central government, managed by
 administrative officers far removed from
 local conditions and sympathies has always
 led to the evils of bureaucratic unreSpOnSive-
 ness to local and to changing needs, to
 bureaucratic standardization, red tape and
 delay and to official insensitiveneSs to the
 criticism of distant parents and citizens But with that admirable sentiment in mind why did the committee go on to recommend that "a Department of Education with Secretary of Education at it's head be established in the Fed eral Ciovernment?"
 The committee proposes that the United States Office of Education in the Interior Depart ment be the nucleus of the new department of edI- cation and that other existing Federal activities dealing with eduaction be transferred to the new department.
 No doubt supporters of the new department will argue that they proposing no considerable added expense but merely rearranging existing units but the fact is that a new department is bound to justify it's existence by more bureaus, more divisions, more employees-and more money.

Japan's Conquest.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 AS has been maintained in these columns since the beginning of Japan's invasion of Manchuria the frank object of that invasion was permanent conquest. Chinchow, the last Chinese controlled city in the rich and desirable terrain of Manchuria now has fallen before irresistible Japanese assult the remnant of Chinese forces being driven beyond the Great Wall.
 Japan is dominant and regnant in the con- quered territory. The League of Nations and the world have demonstrated that they are impotent to affect, change stay the procedure.
 Japan is the mitana Power in the Far East and her fondest dreams of Asian empire are not improbable. Pretexts for further Chinese aggres- sion will not be waiting when it shall suit Japan's purpose to present and act upon them. And who is to say her nay?
 With a free hand in Manchuria what is to prevent Japans further aggression in the direction of Tientsin and other Chinese cities and provinces where she possesses wide interests? And she has before her the example of France in the Far East in this respect.
 The days of conquest of wars, are not ended They will end so long as national selfish ness, aspiration and apparent opportune necessity lcontinue to endure

Gang Murders Exaggerated.
(New York Times.)

If Capone had not marched off to jail, not all the statistics of all the socioogists in the world would have prevailed against the legend of gang murder rampant in Chicago As it is, there is a chance that the world will give hearing to the figures on homicide in American cities submitted by a member of the Birmingham Southern College faculty to the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, at New Orleans
 By the number of killings in proportion to popu- laton Chicago is fortieth among 174 cities, and New York is seventyeighth. The first dozen places are held by cities in the South, beginning with Memphis where the murder rate of 59 per 100000 inhabitants lis more than eight times the New York rate more than four times the Chicago rate. Out of the first thirty cities the South has twenty three. In the North the unenviable leadership is held by Gary Ind, and Hamtramck, Mich, with homie eide rates more than four times that of New York.
 The South's evil pre-eminence is explained by the large Negro population. Yet when the Negroes come North they not notably more addicted to homicide than their white neghbors. How wrong is the popular impression of gang murders in large cities is shown by the fact that even in the South the large cities have lower homicide rate than the smaller places

POLITICS
 AT RANDOM
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Two highly interested signs ap- peared in the political heavens at the beginning of 1882.
 One was the disclosure that Re- publican Irregulars in the Senate are talking seriously of a third party. The other was the decision to run Gov. Willia mH. Murray of Oklahoma in the Democratic pri- mary in New Hampshire.
 These two developments may or may not be important in final effect. They are in themselves i'm mensely important, because both are based on the same extraordin- ary premise-that the country is ready for nothing short of a polit- ical revolution.
 If the Senate Insurgents really see, as they profess to see, third party chance, it means they are convinced tremendous amount of combustible material lies beneath the snug surfaces of the two pres ent parties.
 If Gov. Murray has any hope of making a showing in New Eng land state, as he apparently has, it means that he believes the voters even in that traditional stronghold of conservatism are ready to rip asunder the old allegiances and vote for a new deal.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-01-16
Another Plan Proposed

Another present proposal for fill ing the void is that not one, but several independents run for the nomination. Thus Norris would be the candidate in Nebraska, LaFol- lette in Wisconsin, Johnson in Cal ifornia and other states, Borah in the states where he is the strong est.
 This would have it's advantages.
 It would permit pooling of vote- getting power against Hoover. It would substitute favorite son popu- larity for notably absent campaign funds. /
 It would permit Senator Frazier, read out of the party eight years ago but still Senator by popular election from North Dakota. to run in the March primary in that state.
 An overturn in favor of the in surgents right at the beginning of the pre- convention campaign would not be calculated to give comfort to the Hoover managers.
 How Will Murray Fare?

AMERICA WILL RECOVER FIRST.

Berlin correspondence in the New York Times says the German belief is that the United States will be the first country to emerge from the de- pression because of the vast volume of domestic trade that she has,
 The German viewpoint is given in the following Berlin wireless dispatch to the Times
 Trade revival will begin in America be-
 fore it begins in Europe; that is the year
 end view of this market, and probably of
 other European markets. So long as tariffs

 factor must favor America.
 Further it is considered that the events
 of this past Autumn when credits and gold
 were withdrawn from New York in unpre-
 cedented sums, without even causing un-
 easiness among the American financial
 authorities proved to the world the basic
 soundness of Americas banking and currency
 position That ought to mean that the
 United States will escape the internal con-
 vulsions which European countries which have fallen into the confusion of the paper currency standard expected to suffer. That is probably correct but the chances are that if will not be an inducement for this country again to finance Europe and restore prosperity there The apparent desire of Europe to repudate debts tc America will not encourage this country to accept new promises regarding new financing.

APPLES AND ORANGES.

Competition between rival fruit-growers
 of California and Oregon leads to curious
 attempts at all kinds of publicity. In their
 eagerness to miss no opportunity for attract
 ing attention to themselves and suppreSsng
 their competitors, the orange e-groWers olo
 not overlook the approach of "The Apple
 Cart" to the California theatres.
 The director of the play received call
 from delegation of orange growers who
 requested him to change the name to 'The
 Orange Box, while it played in their State.
 He was first bewildered then amused and
 finally insisted that he could not change the
 name and didn't see that it advertised the
 Oregon apple anyhow
 The orange growers refused to accept no
 for an answer. They found out the authors
 name and address and cabled him at some
 length their request. Not until they re-
 ceived MT. Shaw's one-word cable-easlly
 gusssed-in reply did they give up their ef-
 forts-(New York Timeso

Upheavals Cast Shadow

The premises are debatable, but @ good many indications have marke '32 as a year of possible upheavals. One Western Republi- can Senator returned to Washing ton last fall declaring there was no Republican party left in the West.
 Two Democratic Senators have hinted publicly that they would join a third party unless a 'pro- gressive" Democrat were nomin- ated.
 Third parties are notoriOusly hard to organize and manage, and almost never successful. In a measure, the third party talk among Senate Insurgents is con- fession of weakness. Unable to agree on a candidate to run against Hoover inside the party, they are proposing to fill the void tempora- rily by transferring these diSagee- ments outside the party.
