WELCOME. POSITION,

Add to the growing world language Of science
the word POSITION" 1t is the name of the fourth
fundamental particle of matter the positive eectron
sort Of disembodied entity of electricity of OPP
poste sort to the negatively charged eectron that
lies at the basis of the vast new eectroncs industry
that has made radio talkies and electric eyes pos
sibe.
At the same time, the old electron, discovered in
1897 is being rechristened "negatron" This will
make these building blocks of physical nature easier
to talk about.
Negatron, proton, neutron, positron. Will these
words live long after Manchoukuo, Hitler, Technoc-
racy or even Roosevelt are forgotten?
Will 1928 be known as the time that Dr. Carl
D. Anderson discovered the POSITION in cosic rays
rather than the era of Japanese aggression or of
the second Roosevelt?

The Policy of Patience

And today, I think, the counsel
of unlimited patience is all wrong.
1t is reasonable that we should
wait little while in passing judg-
ment on any man or measure
which seems to be moving in the
right direction.
But 1 see no reason to applaud
such leaders as urge us to cling
to a spar indefinitely, in the hope
that sail will show up over the
horizon. think at the very least
we ought to try to build raft.
Right after the election I said
that it seemed to me no more
than fair to abstain from criticising
the policies of President Elect
Roosevelt until he had time to
formulate them and put them into
execution. But at least two def
mite executive acts now are ready
for preliminary review.
I refer to the appointment of
Cordell Hull as secretary of state
and that of William H. Woodin
to the treasury. I hope that both
gentlemen will fool me profound
ly, because at the moment I do
not regard either choice as a hap
py one.
Mr.. Roosevelt's appointments
have been praised widely in the
east as indicating a disposition
to heed the counsel of conserva-
tive men and to cling to time
honored remedies. The touch Of
daring and departure from the
dead hand of the present certain
ly is not evident on the surface in
these selections.

MR.. MENCKEN'S GOGUES

Accustomed as they are to the caprices of their
literary Hotspur, many will be surprised at the
vehemence of the recent assault on public educa-
ton by Henry L. Mencken
The sage of Baltimore says the "gogues" his
word for pedagogues, raiding the treasures of
between three and four billions annually Thev are
lot Of expensive quacks" and silly babus" pro-
ducing an unreasonable ocean of bunconbe )"
They should be sent back to their Three RS
With the American public school system in
desperate straits, the Mencken attack appears as a
particularly ill-considered bit of buffoonerv. Mr.
Mencken surely not rejoice in the life struggles
OF the one institution that liberate his country
from the rule of the "boobouse" against which he
rails.
AS matter of fact, public education costs us
very little, even compared with other countries
While everything else skyrocketing the ratio of
school costs to national income remained constant
throughout the postwar decade
We spend five times more on passenger autos
than on public education, two and half times more
on chewing gum, candy, theaters and other luxuries
nearly as much tobacco
Now that the educational system will be called
upon to absorb unemployed millions of young people
and adults, it should be endowed more generously.
Beleaguered as they are, the schools need the
active sympathy and help, not the captious sneers
of every intelligent American

BANK ACTION

Quick passage and signing of the Couzens
amendment to the national banking law demon
strated the capacity of all factions to rise above
partisanship and act effectively when the issue is
clear and the need great This measure empowers
the federal government to increase protection OF
depositors in national banks.
1t should alIay some of the public nervousness.
But this is only partial reform, of temporary
nature General revision of the banking law by the
next congress is imperative.
Meanwhile, the revelation of irregular banking
practices by the senate investigating committee has
UNDERSIGNED the necessity for enacting the Glass
bill 1t provides for enforcement of banks and
their afaliates for dsciplining unworthy bank Off
Gals for restraining speculative use of credit
reserves, and other reforms.
Pending comprehensive action by the Roosevelt
administration the emergency calls for continuing
the investigation during the congressional recess,
and for immediate house passage of the bipartisan
Glass BILL as urged by President Hoover.

SAVING THEIR IDENTITY
"a sCRIPPs-HowARD NEWSPAPER

The senate progressves are very exasperating
They will not stay pigeon-holed. Just as Democratic
leaders in congress assumed that the proRoosevelt
progressives had been absorbed in the Democratic
party in everything but name the progressVes burst
forth with national organization.
The very senators closest to Mr.. Roosevelt during
the last few months-the Republicans Norris
Cutting and La Follette-turn out to have as much
distrust for the reactionares among the Democrats
as for the familiar c. o, P old guard.
Hence the launching of the national progressive
organization. AS described by Senator Norris, its
purpose is:
ITO promote progressive government and IN
particular to bring concerted effort and organized
backing to progressive organization.
To encourage the nomination and election OF
progressive members of the senate and house, with
out regard to partisanship
TO cooperate freely with the incoming or any
future administration regardless of party, which
seeks to put a thoroughgong progressive program
into effect"
Several of these progressive Republican senators
declined posts in the Roosevelt cabinet-perhaps
because they thought they could be of more use in
the senate and also because the progressive tradition
and record was to their liking than the
Democratic.
We believe they have chosen the wise course No
group in national public Office has a record 1or
disinterested service comparable to theirs.
President Elect Roosevelt has nothing to fear
from their decision to remain independent, so long
as he lives up to his liberal campaign pledges. He
apparently knows that their cooperation means
more than words and more than conventional party
loyalty; it means for instance the kind of con-
structive hard work and endurance by which the
Norris group for ten years saved Muscle Shoals
now the keystone of Mr.. Roosevelts great national
planning project
For three years they have blasted the way for
intelligent unemployment relief, which Mr.. Roosevelt
now can make effective.
There is something splendid in the progresSves'
refusal to sacrifice their fighting identity, either in
the face of Republican old guard threats of COM
mittee reprsals or of conservative Democratic
Establishments.

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WHENEVER am startled by some bold remark
W of a sub-deb try to think of the American
wives have known whose natures have been
warped and whose lives have been wrecked by their
ultra genteel upbringing.
There still are good many of them left in the
world They have not changed with the times, and
they suffer They suffer from what they believe to
be the low tastes of their husbands the lack of
spirituality in men,
ITO me-" says one of them, "men are horrible
vulgarians" This particular woman, who is sensi-
tive and whose perceptions are delcately attuned,
lives miserable existence because her husband is
one of those loud boisterous men who laugh at off,
color stories and great deal of humor in GER
tain low aspects of life.
And the more loudly he laughs, the more re-
served and thin Tipped and disappearing the woman
becomes. Therefore it is reasonable to surmise
that he often behaves bit more vociferously than
he might if his wife laughed with him occasionally.
TTHOSE women who were reared in the tradi-
ton that all physical love is immoral and
therefore repusive, make great deal of trouble for
themselves and everybody around them
They do not have the proper perspective toward
sex, and therefore fail utterly to understand life
They always are attempting to lift men up to some
impossible level and it is inevitable that they never
can succeed with this task. Tbs means disllusion-
ment and unhappiness for them.
Wives would do great deal more toward i'm
proving and helping their husbands if, instead of
trying to reform, they made an effort to under
stand them.
But this holier-thanthou attitude only
strengthens the male in his determination to be
natural-and, after all. why shouldn't he be natural
since naturalness nearly always is finer than arti-
hciality?
This tiny rift between married couples-the good
wife on one side and the vulgar husband on the
other-always widens into a chasm before many
years have passed.
And for this reason have the feeling that per-
haps the bold little sub-deb may in the end make
better job Of marriage than the super-refined
woman Of the passing generatiors

He undertook to state that in
the American political tradition
political parties always had been
abstained from making consti-
tutional amendments party issues.
Al Smith was able to cite at least
three instances in which this very
thing had been done.
Senator Hull also left himself
wide open by arguing that the
plank presented by the minority
was almost an approximation of
Governor Smiths personal propo-
sal in the 1928 campaign, which
gave Al the opportunity to ex-
claim: But when I proposed that
in 1928, was Senator Hull for me?
He was not!"
Mr.. Smith went on to point out
that he was just four years ahead
of Cordell Hull and expected to
keep that lead. And I am afraid
that in problems far more weighty
than that of prohibition Senator
Hull'S whole tendency will be to
bark back to the way the things
used to be done.
His entire personality, training,
and background give support to
this assumption. I have hoped
not to see somebody raised up
from precedent-spIitter to secre-
tary Of state.

Case Of COrdeU Hull

THERE may be hidden charms
a and talents in Senator Hull,
but he was an extremely inept
and unimpressive figure at the
Democratic convention in Chicago.
He took on the brunt of battle
in presenting the case for the
minority plank on prohibition.
And it so happened that he was
followed by Alfred E. Smith for
the other side.
There are, of course, few men
in America competent to tackle
Al in rough-and-ready debate be-
fore a large audience. am aware
that Senator Hull will not be
obliged to conduct all the business
of the state department over a
national hookup. I am not even
censuring him for being on what
I regarded as the wrong side of
an important public issue.
But in this instance, at least,
he was woefully weak, not only
in the presentation of his facts,
but even in the accuracy Of his
statements.

STATIC AMERICA

DR. o. E. Baker United States department of
agriculture economist prophesies that with the
present birth rate and immigration policies, the
United States will slow down to a static population
of 15OOOOOOO by 1860. In 1870 the population will
begin to decline This forecast comedies with that
of the Hoover committee on social trends.
This reversal of fast-eXpanding population
trend of the last $50 years will not be sudden. Dr.
Baker says that in the next quarter century there
will be 100000 additional Americans to feed,
clothe house and amuse SO we must prepare for
fundamental change in our economic life
Industry in this country is geared to dynamic
populace Hoping for new frontiers at home and
new markets abroad. factories and farms have
expanded far beyond the markets ability to absorb
under the present wage scales and living standards
Now, the entire economy must be readjused to
more static society
There must be national planning High wages
must restore buying power to the masses. Short
hours must absorb surplus workers. Child labor
must be taken out of industry the aged pensioned
Vast regions of submargin lands must be taken out
of farming and put to growing trees.
Industry must be geared to the wants of the
people. More attention must be given to health
recreation education, the civilized arts.
Our task now is not discovery or exploitation of
natural resources or necessarily producing more
goods" President-Eect Roosevelt said in his San
Francisco campaign speech.
1T is the soberer. less dramatic business of adj
mnistering resources and plants already in hand of
seeking to re-estabsh foreign markets for our sur
plus production, Of meeting the problem of under
consumption, of adjusting production to consump-
ton of distributing wealth and products more equ-
taby of adapting existing economic organizations to
the service of the people. The day of enlightened
administration has come"
With only 15OOOOOOO people to care for, America,
under such enlightened administration" can be the
happiest of lands. With wise and unsefsh leader
ship America should welcome its new day.

SCIENCE
Position Is Discovered
BY DAVID DIETz

THIS weeks scientific news may
l. turn out to be the biggest sci
entific news of the year. 1t is the
discovery of new constituent OF
the atom, named the POSITION"
1t was discovered by DR.. Carl
D. Anderson of the California In
stitute Of Technology, the youth
full assistant of DR.. D. A. Mill
kan. DR.. Anderson's discovery
has been confirmed by scientists
at the CavendiSh laboratory of
the University of Cambridge, Eng
land.
Most spectacular scientific event
of 1892 was Professor Auguste
Piccard's second flight into the
stratosphere. But the most i'm
portant scientific event was the
confirmation of the existence of
the neutron.
Prior to 1882, the world Of sci
ence was acquainted with two
constituents of the atom, the pro-
ton and the electrOn. 10 tneSe we
must add the neutron and the
poSitron.
The atomic theory, it will be re-
called, sets forth the idea that
each of the chemical elements is
composed of minute particles
known as atoms.
Until almost the close Of the
nineteenth century, atoms were
believed to be indivisible. The
great triumph of twentieth CEN
fury physics has been the ex-
ploration of the interior of the
atom.
The first constituent of the atom
to be discovered was the electron.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

IN spite Of all our science and
n wit, superstition runs rampant
today. SoothSayers are reaping a
fortune, fattening on the gullibil-
ity of men. Charlatans thrive,
mountebanks flourish.
Books of ouch-the-button mys-
ticism are read widely, telling how
by trick of the mind the chaos
Of life will click together into
order and happiness. Quacks
offer to show us how to win per-
sonality overnight, for so much
lesson.
1t is queer commentary on the
intelligence of the age. The
credulity of skeptics is equaled
only by the ignorance of the in
telligentsia. Too sophisticated to
hold the high faith of our race,
we are the dupes Of the most gro
tesque absurdities.
That matter is master of mind,
that purposelessness produces pur-
pose, that we can keep the values
of religion without its faith
these are sheer superstitions, like
witchcraft.
For what is superstition? 1t is
more than luck or charms or any
of our pet little absurdities which
all Of us keep for fun or fear. It
is expecting occult power to do the
work proper to physical law and
growth.
Or, turning it the other way
round, it is expecting physical
force to do what only spiritual
power can do. Much of our wor-
ship of science today is supersti-
ton; it is expecting from science
what science never can do.
A Ii our efforts to get some
"A thing for nothing in an hon
est universe, fail. Yet we go on
trying it, gambling on it. We smile
at the Buddhist for his prayer

expects some gain or merit or
credit for keeping it going.
He hopes by magic to get what
can be won only by effort, pa
tience, discipline, growth. But we
