New Democratic State Chairman
DIR. Carl Watson

Pledges of party loyalty and ap-
peals for solidarity in future cleo
ton campaigns followed Immediate
ly the spirited contest which result
ed IN the choice of DR.. Carl Watson.
oI flndlay, as chairman of the
Democratic state executive commit
tee. Differences stirred by rivalry
between Dr. Watson and John n
Nolan, able and popular Democratic
leader of Steubenville, were sub
merged after Nolan, in speech
urging harmony, regretted that DR..
Watson was not present so he might
congratulate him in person, and
volunteer his whole-hearted co
operation in party activities. At
temps Of hostile newspapers to stir
rancor and perpetuate disagree
ments incident to the contest. for
the purpose of dividing the Ohio
Democracy, were conceded by OH
servers to be futile in view Of the
obvious sincerity with which dis
sentient leaders agreed to fall in
behind the administration of the
new chairman. Senator Robert J
Bulkley and Governor White, who
attended the meeting of the Demo
cratic state central committee a,
which Dr. Watson was elected by a
vote of 20 to IA to succeed Henry
G. Brunner, resigned, were assured
that party workers would work
shoulder to shoulder in the guber-
and congressional cam
paign of 1884. Accepting the ver-
dict, Nolan said. II have always
beep loyal Democrat and will
continue to be one. I never would
participate in any activity designed
to cause dissension in the party"

Increase In Farm Population
During Depression

Increase in farm population of the
United States during the depression
has been about 100000, acord-
ing to Prof. NJ. B. Hammond, Ohio
State University department of eco
nomics.
1t is unsafe to predict whether
these people will continue to live
on farms after the depression is
over, Prof. Hammond says. "In
spite of the low incomes received
by those who have gone from city
TO country, the feeling of greater
security which comes to a family
able to raise it's own food will make
a strong appeal to those who re-
member their precarious conditions
while unemployed, he points out
"On the other hand those who are
dissatisfied with the life of a farm
er and especially those who had
never before lived on farm will
probably take the first opportunity
to return to the city when they can
find employment there"
A compromise method is likely to
occur in sections around large in
dustrial cities, he believes, with
families taking small tracts where
they can raise garden produce and
keep few animals.
unemployed members Of the
family" according to Prof. Ham
mond, "can care for the stock and
cultivate the ground while the hus-
band and father works in the city.
The longer evenings which the
shorter working day will make pos
sible will allow him to assist in this
work, and on the tract he can main
tain himself and family during the
shutdowns always occurring in our
large factories.''
Another factor favorable to this
plan, the professor says, is the ten
dency of recent years for many in
dustrial plants to either move out
Of large cities or to establish branch
plants in small towns and rural
areas, as means of avoiding heavy
taxes and providing cheaper homes
for the workers.

Cynthia McInturf He was stricken
with partial paralysis, April 12, and
lad been confined to his bed most
of the time since. He met this mis-
fortune with courage and patience,
although he suffered intensely at
times. He felt that his work on
earth was not yet done and made a
valiant struggle to regain his health.
Physical disease, together with
worry over the financial losses, his
own errors, had caused himself and
others to suffer, brought death to

love for the church was manifest to

chor to his soul, both sure and
steadfast. The clock of life is

Public Taste.

It is a current bromide in certain
quarters that public taste is necessarily
base and low In one form or another
the idea has had repeated and per-
sistent expression. Thus book pub
fishers, movie producers and radio sta
ton operators talk about giving the
people what they want" the implica-
ton being that the masses are morons
and that anything above the level of
the intelligence Of six-year-old child
is beyond their comprehension. Such
is the excuse offered In explanation
of "lcw brow" productions Of all va
rites. Any attempt to influence the
judgment of the self-constituted czars
of the Nations cultural life is met with
the rebuff: They don't want art"
Apparently, it has not occurred to the
dictators that the multitude has been
taught to desire froth instead Of sub
stance, shallowness instead Of depth.

Bulbs, Coffee and Pearls.

The expedient of plowing under
crops OF cotton and tobacco in this
country to reduce production in order
to prevent surplus and to stabilize"
prices, has just been adopted in Hol-
land. A bulb-destruction week has
been proclaimed by an adjustment
committee" for the rehabilitation of
the industry, which is one of Hollands
most important sources Of income.
Hundreds of thousands of bulbs, tulips,
hyacinths and narcissi, are being
brought in to the cities and dumped
into garbage cans and upon refuse
piles, to rot. For these bulbs, once the
largest item Of export to all countries
are now a drug on the market. The
world depression has hit the growers
hard, prices have sunk to distressingly
low levels and the bulb growers are

Ambassador Sterling.

Cuba has taken a leaf out of ancient
American diplomatic traditions and
appointed a journalist-author as her
new Ambassador to the United States.
Senor Don Manuel Marquee Sterling y
Loret de Mola, to give him his full
name, was Graded in the diplomatic
career, for he was born in the Cuban
legation in Peru in 1872, while his
father was Minister there of the short
lived Cuban Republic of that period,
headed by the father Of DR.. Manuel
de Cespedes, new President at Havana.
But literature became Senor Sterling S
first professional love. Then the more
active pursuit of journalism claimed
his attention and he founded the
Havana Heraldo de Cuba, which, hav-
ing become the organ Of the Machado
regime in other hands, fell a victim
to mob vengeance last week along with
other tangible evidence of the dis
credited regime.
Ambassador Sterling happens to have
been a resident of Washington, or
rather, Of neighboring Chevy Chase,
when summoned to take charge of the
Cuban embassy by President Cespedes
He has lived in our midst for the
better part of two years and takes
up his responsible mission with the
advantage of wide acquaintance in
official American and Latin American
quarters. With background of active
diplomatic experience in many Amer
lean countries, including Brazil and
Mexico, Senor Sterling is ideally
equipped to conduct at Washington the
important negotiations promptly initi-
ated here and in Havana for a new
economic deal for Cuba, on which her
salvation so materially depends and in
which the cooperation of the United
States Government is so whole-heart-
edly assured. Sugar matters are al
ready engaging the new ENJOYS at
tention.
The American people welcome Senor
Sterling as a coIworker in the cause
of neighborly Pan-American relations,
in the confidence that he will give an
account of himself worthy of his own
name.
