tons. even those Of Votaire or Russeau, never
would be enough to direct man safely amidst the
perplexites Of the modern age.
ST. simon's disciple. the famous French philos-
opher Auguste Comte. christened this new evidence
demanded by his master sociology. In his volurnin-
Gus works Positive Philosophy" ard "A Positive
Policy" he described the nature of society founded
upon such science.
But, for all his industry and learning Comte
primarily was philosopher, and did more wishful
thinking than scientific Investigation It remained
for an American to place the age-Iong quest for
social guidance in truly scientific perspective
Lester F. Ward was for most Of his life natural
scientist in government employ. OF tireless indus
try and great self-confdence, he accumulated a
vast body Of knowledge and brought it under control
Of his scientific outlook and methods
In his Dynamic Sociology" and other works he
not only set forth the arguments in support of
scientifically guided social order but indicated the
specific equipment necessary to achieve such result
in real practice. He envisaged national academy
of social science at Washington, manned by group
not unlike President Hooyer's committee on social
trends and their research assistants.
This academy would gather all available data on
every conceivable public problem. It would indi-
cate the general character OF current social deveI-
opments and the desirable political policies which
should control and guide them in the interest of
human happiness and well-being. Legislators on
Capitol Hill would flock to the academy for advice
as to what laws needed and for aid in drafting
such laws in an intelligent manner
Chance, drift and revolution would give way be-
fore intelligence, scientific provision and controlled
evolution.
But the vision and good offices Of Ward came to
naught. We drifted into world anarchy, world war
and world depression President Hoover's commit
tee now has taken one step further than Dr. Ward
The necessity of a background of knowledge and
scientific insight for intelligent government has been
given official administrative recognition
The dream of a social philosopher has grown into
vast masses of data, many specific reports and the
intelligent summation which Just has been made
public-all under governmental sanction.
If we drift into something worse than 1914 to
1888, say that have not been in
formed adequately and warned powerfully.

FREEDOM-WITH STRINGS
IA sCRIPPs- HOWARD NEWsPAPEal

President Hoover has vetoed and the house has
repassed the defective Philippine independence bill.
1t was conceived by tariff lobby and passed in
defiance of Philippine interests It's high moral
purpose is only cloak.
Filipinos themselves are divided over accept
ance of independence upon such disastrous terms.
1t is believed they will reject the law if it goes to
them for action.
While agreeing with Mr.. Hoover for the most
part on the obvious evils Of the bill we disagree
with his alternative proposals. Instead of ten to
twelve years of intermediate government preceding
complete independence, the President would post
pone the entire issue for fifteen or twenty years at
which time pebiscite would be held. That part
Of the Hoover plan, in our judgment, would
pound the evils of the vetoed bill
The President makes an important point, when
he insists that the process of economic separation
should be much less abrupt and destructive than
provided in this bill by the sugar lobbyists After
having made the Filpinos economically dependent
upon us, against their will, we honorably can not
cut them off from free trade until they have
adequate time to develop normal trade relations with
the world.
But the President is mistaken in assuming that
the desired period of continued trade preferences
necesstates similar period of continued political
rule by the United States
Political freedom should be granted Immediately
we believe They should be freed because they
want freedom because freedom is an inalienabe
right and because we long have promised them
freedom. And very important for the United States
they are political danger and defense liability
AS an isolated outpost, we could not defend them
against major attack. Yet as long as we hold them
they will overextend naval lines and weaken
our primary defenses. Politically, they can embroil
us in the recurring fires of Asiatc intrigue and war
The United States should negotiate treaty with
all the powers jointly guaranteeing the perpetual
freedom and neutrality Of the Philippines and then
Withdraw at once and completely from separate po-
litical responsibility

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

MARY BORDEN in a series of articles on mar
4VA riage for Pictorial Review, suggests that it
might be pleasant to have different husband for
each season. This is one of the enticng customs in
old Tibet.
Yet four, I think is too many. But how con-
venient it would be for every wife to have two hus-
handsome to make the living and the other for
social purposes.
Every woman who has had to listen to the
growls of the enraged male as he donned dress
clothes for little evening with the Smiths" knows
what mean.
It's the hardest thing in the world to find a
man who combines business and social efficiency. If
he keeps your allowance adequate he usually dis
likes public dining, and if, the other hand he is
pleasant about dancing and the theater the chances
are that he will be no good at money-making Life
is like that.
WE keep up a fine pretense of enjoyment about
w these mixed parties of married people But
the attitude is largely bluff. For the men when
they leave home at ALL prefer the stag affairs,
where they do not have to be perpetually on their
good behavior, required to make pretty speeches
to women who bore them, and where their wives
can not show them of like experty manipulated
puppets.
And women-wel, the truth is, we enjoy most
those gatherings where We can sink in slken
shimmerngs of femininity, where the babble is
deafening, but the appreciation of a fetching gown
is keen and where we can experience that sense of
complete knship that women, even though they are
enemies, feel for one another.
There is only one sensible way for the sexes to
mix socially. That is to give parties where no guest
: would be hampered by presence of husband or wife,
And this. especially in some parts of the United
States. would be regarded as immoral. if not de-

GOVERNMENT BY KNOWLED

Tfe facts gathered by President Hoover's research
committee on social trends are Of high value in
themselves. The conclusions drawn from them by
the eminent social scientists who wrote the
summary report of even greater significance for
the public.
But of greater moment than either the specific
facts the associated conclusions is the import of
the enterprise as a whole IT is the most notable
step thus far taken in this country to promote gov
eminent through precise knowledge of the social
science in which we live. 1t implies that contem-
porary history and the social sciences must furnish
guidance for any competent government in our
complex urban and industrial world civilization of
1888
The effort to encourage government by intei-
gence and to develop science of social progress can
boast long history, spite of very Slight concrete
achievements to date in actual governmental circles
Among the Greeks, Plates Republic" and
Laws" were based upon the aspiration to make
philosophers kings and to rule through superior wis
DOM Aristotle, while less Utopian went about as
far as was possible in his day to develop a science
of political leadership in his immortal Politics"
But the first writer to argue comprehensively for
a real science of human progress was the Able
Bernardin de st, Pierre, who wrote at the opening
of the eighteenth century. He had lived through
the long and disastrous dynastic of Louis
XIV and had participated in making the treaty of
peace which ended them.
, He felt as many did after the World war, namely
that an impartial and informed BODY of scientific
knowledge should be developed to save humanity
from such staggering and bloody mistakes Europe
had made in his generation.
But his llow-countrymen failed to heed the
able France did not move to higher levels of we'll
being through scientific planning of her social fu
ture. Rather, she drifted stupidity into revolution
and carnage under the rule OF lesser Bourbos than
the Grand Monarque."
This French revolution Of the late eighteenth
century. together with the progress of science and
the rise of the industralism stimulated an
other Frenchman to argue further the necessity of
science of social guidance. This was the brilliant
and versatile Count Henri de ST. Simon.
He contended that progress never could be as
slred unless social development controlled by
specific science of social progressesA inten-

Editor Times - Evidently our
state lawmakers, now in session,
do not understand the funda-
mental significance of the po-
litical landslide experienced last
November, which was aimed not
only at fiscal extravaganza, but
chiefly at the widely resented en-
croachment upon personal liberty
inherent to the prohibition laws.
They do not see that good,
righteous citizens were tired of
being regulated in their homes,
and simply threw off the yoke in
disgust, hundreds of thousands
of them, singly, following the same
impulse, il spite of the influence
Of church and the mightiest news

First, the presence of about
Il per cent copper in steel slows
down markedly its rate Of rusting
and destruction in the atmosphere
and has proved to be especially
advantageous in steels exposed to
industrial atmospheres as in and
near cities.
This type of steel, which is sold
as copper steels and also under
various trade-names, costs little
more than ordinary steel, slows
down the rate of rusting in the at
mosphere, but is not rustless.
Second, the discovery was made

This was a rather surprising

changed into bread! John had a
large loaf, and Peter-only two
mouthfuls! But he was too proud
to ask any of the others to share
with him.
ON the way back across the
~ field at nightfall, no one
needed to be told to pick up a
stone, and this time Peter car
RED the largest stone of all. At
the other side of the field flowed
a river, and Jesus said: Let no

ward. Throw your stones into

Peter tasted a whole day, but
he learned a lesson-aye, tow les

do good save for the JOY of do

How easily murky mood can

SCIENCE:
Rust Costs Huge Sum
BY DAVID DIETz

TIME fact that steel rusts re-
l. suits annually in the loss of
millions Of tons of metal and hun
dreds of millions of dollars. For
that reason, laboratories in all
parts of the world are hard at
work upon the problem of making
steels which will be more resistant
to rust.
Progress to date in these fields
recently was summed up by DR..
John Johnston, director of re-
search of the United States Steel
Corporation.
1.-THE properties of steel are so
valuable, indeed SO unique, that
the world wishes to use it for all
sorts of purposes, and so tries to
offset its tendency to rust by APP
plying to the steel surface some
sort of protective coating" he
says. Familiar examples are:
by electroplating the steel with
copper, nickel, chromium, or other
metal.
by coating it with another
metal, with tin, as in the familiar
tin can, or with zinc to make the
so-called galvanized iron, or with
lead.
by coating with a glass or
vitreous enamel as in the familiar
enamelWare.
BY covering the surface with
paint or tar or other similar ma
terials."
