If the Prohibition Question Is
Left to Technical, Routine
Processes 1t Can Be EUdded
for Several Years.
NEW YORK, June 14.-Begin
II this fight on prohibition with a
referendum. Don't leave it to polit-
ical traders and manipulators. They
will trick the people and gum up the
works.
1t is all right to suppose that con-
gress will resubnit the eighteenth
amendment next December if one, or
both, parties come out for repeal
But don't put too much faith in it.
Think back over what has oc-
CURED in congress since last Deem
Der and what the country has to
show for it. Think how congress
has changed its mind from week to
week and, above all else, of now
susceptible it has shown itself to
the influence of Hobbies.
Don't be too sure of what those
specially elected state conventions
would do, even if congress did re-
submit the eighteenth amendment.
Think of the part machine politics
would play, Of the local leadership
involved, and of the factional rows
that would affect the result.

Carbon and Water

A GROSS chemical analysis Of
"A any plant or animal tissue is
not difficult to make. It reveals
that they are all surprisingly alike,
so much alike, in fact, that biolo-
gists regard all living things as
merely variations of one funda-
mental substance to which they
have given the name of protoplaSm.
There is nothing out of the or
binary about the chemical elements
which compose protoplasm. They
are not even rare or unusual ele-
mentS. Instead, they are the COM
monest ones in the world
Protoplasm consists chiefly of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitro
gen, sulphur, phosphorus. cholorine,
sodium, potassium, calcium and
magnesium.
In addition, there sometimes are
traces of iron. manganese, iodine,
silicon and copper. OF course,
these substances do not occur in the
elemental state, but combined in
chemical compounds.
present in protoplasn is water
Samples range all the way from so
to as much as 81 per cent water.
There also are present slight
traces of various mineral salts,
such as ordinary table salt or So
dunn chloride, and other salts or
potassium, calcium, magnesium and
so on.
Almost all other substances pres
ent may be looked upon as COM
pounds of carbon. In fact, carbon
may be regarded as the founda-
ton stone upon which the struc-
ture Of protoplaSm rests.
One peSsimistic writer once de-
scribed mankind as consisting of
impure Jumps of carbon and wa
ter" The same designation might
be applied to all living things, al
though there is little to be gained
from growing pessimistic about it.

logne, and eau de whatnot.
II any one objects that such pro-
cedure would not be in accordance
with law n order" let them re-
member that these stink pistols be-
long to the workers, for it was with
their money that the reverend sena-
tors purchased this gaseous arma-
ment, and that in the theory, if
not in practice, the legislative ia
theirs are supposed to be subject to
the will Of the people.
Subject to the will of the peo-
ple!" That's a pretty piece of fic-
ton, indeed. The external forms of
our government are democratic. but
IN its inner workings the republic
is purely plutocratic.
What do stink guns have 20 do
with democracy? Nothing az all!
But they do play an important role
IN the government of millions by
the moneyed few. And there's no
use in kidding ourselves. That sit
uat1on will continue until the pluto
Gratis are finally put at the rcceiv-
ing end Of those stink guns instead
OF the operating end, where they
now hold forth.

It's National Issue

HAVING become a national dis
L l. grace, prohibition is national
issue. Having been forced to the
front by revulsion of public opin-
ion, it should be decided, in the first
instance, by a clean-cut expression
Of public opinion.
We have let politicians handle it
for twelve years, and what is the re-
suit? An orgy of corruption and
racketeering, a disrespect for law
that shakes our judicial system to it's
very foundations, a diversion of vast
sums Of money from the public
treasury into channels of crime, an
organized underworld that is able,
through terrorist tactics, to intimi-
date witnesses, browbeat courts, buy
officials, and thwart the administra-
ton of justice.

Compounds Present

THREE types Of carbon COM
Il pounds are found in proto-
plasm. In fact, protoplasm usually
is spoken of as consisting of these
three compounds, combined with
water and traces of mineral salts.
The three compounds are carbohy-
drates, fats and proteins.
The carbohydrates include a va
riety of sugars and starches. They
are combinations of three chemical
elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxy-
gen.
The simplest known carbohydrates
is glucose. It's molecule consists of
little chain of six carbon atoms,
to which have been attached twelve
atoms Of hydrogen and six of oXy-
gen.
A molecule Of water consists of
two atoms of hydrogen and one of
oxygen. You might, therefore, think
of glucose as combination of six
atoms of carbon and six molecules
Of water.
Molecules of glucose unite with
each other by chemical action to
form still more complicated forms
Of sugar, starches and cellulose.
Fats are more complicated than
are the carbohydrates. They con-
tain the same chemical elements,
but exhibit different and more COM
plicated molecular structure.
The proteinS are the most COM
plicated of the three. In addition
to carbon, hydrogen and oxygen,
they contain nitrogen and some
times phosphorus, sulphur and iron.
Each variety of protein is made
up Of combination of many sub
stances, chief among which are
number of compounds known as
amino-Acids.
The molecules Of protein are ex-
ceedingly complicated, some Of them
containing several thousand atoms.

stitution, would be present the method were Iegis
ative.
But submission to state conventions as a single
issue would bring vote prohibition, and prohi-
bitlon only.
Those same cross currents which appear in any
general legislative assembly also appear in general
as distinct from special election BY combining the
prohibition question to general state election the
decision would be narrowed to where it should be
narrowed when issue Of such long standing and
wide uncertainty 10 at stake.
Either of the two great national political parties,
therefore, If the party is sincere in wanting real
democracy to function should insert those two safe
guarding provisions. Unwilingness by either Repub-
hcans or the Democrats to do that means that the
evasonists still control and that the prohibition issue
still wanders in fog.
The party which fails to provide opportunity for
clear-cut decision will suffer at the polls.

land, that carotene, the yellow pig
ment found in carrots, yellow corn,
eggs yolk, butter and other foods,
is turned into vitamin A by the &C
ton Of sunlight, are certain to have
an important effect upon the
whole study Of the problem of plant
growth.
Most interest in vitamins has
been centered about their effect in
this human diet. It is obvious,
however, that a complete under
standing Of the vitamins necessi-
tates also study of their role in
the growth of plants.
The subject of plant growth can
be attacked IN many ways. We can
analyze plants in the chemical lab
oratory, finding that a particular
one consists of so much sugar and
starch, so much fat and so much
protein.
We can study the structure of the
plant under the microscopic, noting
how it is built up Of microscopic
cells just as brick house is built
up out of bricks.
Or we can study the plant as we
would steam engine, noting what
it does and how it does it.
A complete understanding of
plant growth can be obtained only
if the problem is attacked from all
these angles. OF course, that is
what is being done today and, as a
result, large body of evidence is
already at hand.

1t is known that the ultraviolet

that the heat rays, that is, the red

deeply into the human body.
The experts recognize two types
Of this condition: First, the sun

there is high fever and a dry skin

second, heat exhaustion, in which
there is a moist skin, sometimes

WET, though I think that Alfred
Il E. Smith still is addicted to
patching up the motor instead of
inserting new one, grant him one
significant virtue. No man can
drive much more than the edge of
a Sharp-bladed knife between what
Al thinks and what he says for the
public record.
Of all the candidates for public
Office, he has done the most to dis
courage Ben Turpinism in politics.
Must you know? I mean the prac-
tice Of looking in two directions at
the same time, and I have specifl-
cally in mind the declaration of one
Of Mr.. Hoover's cabinet, who said
that the Republican party would
endeavor to frame a prohibition
plank satisfactory to- everybody.
The policies of Mr.. Smith are not
like that. In the case Of Al you
must be for him or against him.
In other words, he is statesman
and not common carrier.

even though it is quite clear in nv
own mind. I can not sincerely GO
the whole way with Al's economics,
and yet I am 100 per cent for his
political technique. 1t isn't quite
that ] disbelieve in what he says as
that I am emotionally and intellect
ually committed to much more.
Among high jumpers who will not
even try to clear more than a four
foot level, a man who can leap five
feet, nine inches may seem a cham
pion. But the time has come when
the bar must be higher than that
The time has come for somebody to
raise the standard to six feet and
then to sail across it.
And in the higher brackets, inches
makes all the difference between a
middle through and the drastic
steps which seem to me necessary
for salvation.
