The Third Party Threat

Politicians insist upon calling the presence Of a
third party in the next election in Indiana threat
To them it means that large vote might disturb
their calculations as to the number Of those who
would vote straight tickets.
Third parties become threats in exact proportion
to their appeal to independent voters and lack of
appeal to the independent voter by the regular po-
htical platforms.
AT the present time, one Indiana insurgent is
promising relief from the high utility rates and the
control of the public service commission by the
utilities.
That so believe the politicians, might attract a
large enough number of votes to defeat one or the
other of the old parties.
OF course, the obvious way Of avoiding such
disaster would be to find candidate for the regular
parties who would promise the same thing.
This particular threat" also declares against pro-
hibtion and the Indiana dry law.
That contrast to the usual regular stand of con-
tributing to the Anti-Saloon League with one hand
and distributing sympathetic words to vets with the
other might prove serious.
Just why any candidate for Governor, senator or
congressman should avoid taking positive stand
these two important matters can not be explained
to the voters.
There other grave questions this year which
must be answered by candidates for Office If they
do not desire to see the third party threat become
a real menace to their hopes
The matter of unemployment is one of these The
attitude toward federal aid will be important. Men
who have been out of jobs for months are quite likely
to forget their usual political traditions if some one
offers them hope. They will see no threat in third
parties they approach the polls and discover both
the old parties avoiding these major proposals Tor
social Justice.
The best way to prevent third party growth is
mands on party platforms.
The sure way to invite them is to pussyfoot on
utilities, dodge on prohibition and duck on unem-
ployment.

Fewer Babies

The United States overproduced on most things
is restricting it's most important industry-babies.
According to the United States department of edu-
cation there are today 128840 fewer babies under
in the 1880 census than there were decade ago
Whereas in 1920 we had 11573230 babies under s.
now we have only IL 44439O.
In the last forty years the American family has
lost one member. In 1890 the average American
family had three youngsters.
Scientists are worried They America losing
its youthful dynamic spirit, becoming a race of
oldsters What with shutting out new blood through
immigration restriction on the hand, and birth
control and conquest of old age diseases on the other
we are becoming "old" and stable
Movements" have started. fashionable girls
school in Manhattan has begun baby-rasing course
using live specimens to stimulate mother-ove among
it's freshman girls.
Professor Frederick j. Taussg of st. Louis proposes
increasing the $500 federal income tax exemption for
each child. Soon we may expect another Roosevetian
campaign for bigger American families.
But why worry? When we have created a system
that will make families secure jobs steady and re-
munerative and childhood universally happy we will
begin having more children.
The first task is to care for the babies have. In
that we have long way to CO.

would otherwise be hungry receive food from the

public employees. The food is prepared with little
cost. 1t is wholesome. 1t is more Importantly, very
much needed.
Now there is need of clothing and much has been

clothing are not troubled with having to choose which
suit of clothes which overcoat which pair of Shoes
which dress will be worn today They need any
suit, dress or pair of shoes.

Smothering Issues

CHICAGO gets the convention
~ anyway, and that, too, in spite
of the fact that Atlantic CITY
offered the same amount. For pur-
poses of party harmony it is said
that her central location determined
the issue, but there are those who
believe she owes much more to the
friends of Governor Roosevelt, who
don't want their candidate burdened
with the idea that his support comes
largely from the east and that his
strength is derived from eastern
influence.
Politicians have a most curious
method of appraising public appeal.
To hear them talk, one actually
would suppose that the place where
a party convention was held had a
vital bearing on the result of a
presidential election.
If it does, wouldn't we be wise to
scrap democracy, or, at all events,
cease talking about any important
issue?
AS matter of fact, we have come
pretty near doing that with regard
to some important issues, such as
prohibition, for instance. Though
MesSrS. Smith and Cox made some
ringing and well-applauded ue-
nunciations of prohibition, it quietly
was referred to the resolutions COM
mittee of the convention by the ma
tional committee.
Doubtless it will be referred to
the convention by the resolutions
committee, and to the people by the
convention in such way, however,
that nobody will get a chance to
vote On it.

The Dawes BOnbSheII

MEANWHILE, Charles C. Dawes,
Iva who will head the American
delegation to Geneva, throws some
thing of a bombshell into American
politics, especially the Republican
end of it, by suddenly resigning as
ambassador to Great Britain.
The boys can not quite figure out
whether he is tired of so much foot
work and so little headWork.
Whether he has been stung by the
presidential bee, or whether he is
sore about something, or whether
he really wants to come back and
run the Chicago worlds fair.
With her school teachers unpaid
for half year, her tax rolls for 1928
and 1929 declared invalid, her treas
ury empty and her credit gone, Chi

ing to put on a worlds fair.
She also displays optimism in
promising the Democratic party
100000 for it's convention.
The unpaid school teachers, po-
hcemen and f1remen doubtless will
take heart.

Bruening only is saying in a blunt way what the
recent Basic conference of official experts stated IN
academic terms. AL the French protests can not
change the fact that Germany has been able to pay
out only what she has borrowed from abroad, and
can pay no longer, because her borrowing power is
exhausted.
Such an obvious economic truth, however, can
not be swallowed easily by some French and British
politicians and their propagandafed supporters. Some
of these will misuse this as evidence of German
villainy and new excuse for refusing to limit

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE.
Care With Rabbits Prevents Disease

A few rare cases have occurred in
which human beings have been in
fected from the bites of coyotes,
skunks and hogs which had be-
come infected presumably from
eating the infected flesh of rabbits
Or squirrels.
Not only, however, have squirrels
and rabbits been found as convey
ors of this condition, but also musk
rats, opossums and water rats.
From one to ten days after hav-
ing come in contact with the infect
ed meat or having been bitten, an
ulcer develops at the infected spot;
the lymph glands swell and break
down.
1t has been shown that refriger-
ated rabbits may remain infective
for three months but not for four
months.
