PULITZER PRIZES

THE Times congratulates its cartoonist,
Harold M. Talburt, who has been hon
ored with the Pulitzer prize This national
award was MADE for his Light of Asia" which
the judges found to be the best newspaper car
toon published in the country during 1882
Special tribute was paid to Mr.. Talburts
genius in the judges statement that the prize
was given mot only on the significance of his
powerful art, as exemplifed in the chosen car
toon, but equally upon the consistency of his
performance during the whole year"
We are also proud of the award made to
our sister Scripps- Howard newspaper, the New
York World-Telegram AS in the case of the
award to this newspaper in 1928 the award
this year was for the most disinterested and
meritorious public service rendered by
American newspaper during the year.
The World-Telegram was rewarded for its
crusades on veterans relief, on the real estate
bond evil, its campaign urging voters in the
last New York municipal election to write in
the name of Joseph v. Mckee and it's articles
exposing the lottery schemes of various fra
ternal organizations.
The wide territorial distribution of this
years Pulitzer prizes again testifies to the ex-
cellent newspaper work being done all over
the country. This is the healthiest possible
sign that American readers do not have to
look to few big newspapers or to any one
part of the nation for good journalism.
The Kansas City Star gets the $500 edi-
torial prize for a series of editorials on national
and international subjects. The international
scope further is recognized in the award of the
$500 correspondence prize to Edgar Ansel
Mowrer, Berlin correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News, for his articles on Germany.
The American press is showing itself any,
thing but provincial in this epoch of widening
horizons.
The $1,000 prize for the best example of a
reporters work goes to Francis A. Jameson
Associated Press correspondent at Trenton NJ
j., for his coverage of the Lindbergh kidnapping
Well deserved honorable mention for public
service goes to two newspapers-the Detroit
Free Press, for its save the peoples money"
campaign, and the Philadelphia Record, for
defeating the attempt of the Philadelphia city
government to lay an income tax on wages.
Never in the history of this nation or the
world were people more dependent upon or
more appreciative of a fearless, honest, enter
prising press.
These Pulitzer awards help to remind
Americans that they getting that kind of
press-and in no limited or sectional sense.

SCIENCE DIsCARDs 'CERTAINTIEs


A BRIGHT young man of today who set out
n to get good grounding in the sciences
could be forgiven easily for concluding that
he was being asked to discard all his GER
tainties and substitute a somewhat jumbled
mess of probabilities, near probabilities and
wild guesses.
A decade or two ago science was dogmatic
and positive. 1t set up certain natural laws"
and they were like the laws of the Modes and
the Persians. Certain things were thus and
so, and no one need argue about it.
To appreciate how the picture has changed
you need only consider a speech made in New
York the other evening by DR.. Irving Lang
muir, 1882 Nobel prize winner in chemistry.
During the last twenty years, he said, SCI
ence has come to believe that no natural
law has absolute validity" and that "in no alb
solute sense can anything ever be predicted
accurately" The law of cause and effect no
longer is with US, and nothing in the universe
is hitched securely.
Some things may be more probable than
Others" he added, but you can't say that
anything is absolutely true"

portance of this changed attitude, for it car
ries with it one of the profoundest revolutions
that the human mind ever has been compelled
to pass through.
We are not through with that revolution
yet; indeed we hardly have passed its first
phase; and before we complete it, some of our
concepts of man and nature and life and the
universe are likely to be altered almost be-
yond recognition.
Nor is there anything in all this to depress
the speculative soul who likes to feel that
there are values which material standards
can not assess and realities which human eyes
can not see. Indeed, the exact opposite is
true.
1t is the ultra-materialist who is confront
ed by this CHANGE How are you going to be
dogmatic about the absolute dominion of ma
terial things when you can not have one single
certainty about them?
In its long climb up from darkness. man
kind has passed great rise, and stands now
facing limitless horizons. 1t has lost it's old
landmarks-but it has marvellous chance for
adventurous exploration

SENATOR NORRIS VICTORY

CENATOR GEORGE w. NORRIS of Ne
~ braska ought to be one of the proudest
men in Washington these days.
The Muscle Shoals bill will be law within a
very few days. The senate and the house still
have a few minor points to straighten out be-
fore they can send it to the White House,
but its ultimate passage is assured, and it is
equally certain that the President will sign it.
And the victory, more than any one else's
is Senator Norris.
The bill itself may be very fine thing or it
may be profoundly unwise; that, for the
moment, is not the point.
The point is that it was Senator Norris
who kept the Shoals property intact in Uncle
Sans hands, for long years, in the face of
powerful opposition, and that it was Senator
Norris who created public sentiment favor
able to government operation.
And now, as his long fight is being crowned
with success, the Nebraska senator has right
to feel pretty good about everything.

NOT EVEN PINK

A MERICANS are becoming liberal. but as
- for going Socialist they're not even
pale pink. This is the conclusion of Pro-
lessor Edward S. Robinson of Yale follow
ing QUESTIONABLE sent out to 8,419 men and
women voters in thirty seven states asking
their reactions to various public questions.
DR.. Robinson found that the votes cast for
Socialist Thomas were highest among the
professional class, lowest among the farmers
They were higher among women than men,
I'VE may raise the question" he remarks,
whether there can be an important Socialist
movement in this country so long as the party
makes its principal impression upon high
brows and women"
Of twentyfour political issues seven
propositions were favored by the majorities of
all three parties. These were:
THE federal government should protect
those states which wish to retain prohibition.
THE rich should bear larger proper
ton of the burden of taxation.
1T is the duty of the federal government
to place farming on an equal footing with
industry
Government expenditures should be re-
duced drastically.
THE currency of the United States should
be kept sound, at all hazards
1.-The farmer should adjust his production
to the law of supply and demand
THE government should support only those
veterans disabled during the war"

They Are Good Causes

all, it's the only meeting in town"
The Communists have succeeded
in making both the Mooney and
ScottSboro issues their own. They
have succeeded by dint of doing a
vast amount of hard work. Of course,
the Socialist party is on record
among the protesterS against these
injustices. but it just hasn't been
anything like so active.
When the Communists say in such
circumstances, Come in with us on

aware Of the fact that they are not
unmindful Of putting Socialists in a
hole. But the hole is even deeper

Touch Of Respect0biLitu

A S a matter of fact, I was not
L n the only nOn-COmmunist at
either of the forbidden meetings.
The first one was held in the Abys-
sinian Baptist church, which ought
to be neutral ground, and on the
program we're the pastor--the Rev.
Mr.. PoWell-Walter White of the N
A. A. G. P, and Mrs. Hymie Bushel
That isn't precisely a straight Com
munist lineup. At the second gath
ering, in the Bronx Coliseum, I
found DR.. Harry Ward of the Union
Theological seminary and the Rev.
Clayton Powell; so we were not red
all over.
I don't expect the Communists to
love me, and I'm not going to love
them. I hope, from time to time,
to say many nasty things about
them, and expect the same in re-
turn. Indeed, now I can say what

ship. 1t will be my own idea.

THE PRESIDENTS WIFE

ONE of the reasons why Americans like
~ Eleanor Roosevelt so much is that she
seems to have a genius for doing the right
thing at the right time.
Take for instance, the recent White House
visit of those hard-bitten New England fishing
captains.
These shippers were escorted by the Presi-
dents wife on complete tour of the White
House-a thing which the country's Snootiest
society folk would give their right ears to at
tain, and which most of them angle for, fruit
lessly, for months, The fishermen got it with
out asking for it.
1t was little thing, of course-but not, one
ventures to believe, to the sea captains, or to
Mrs. Roosevelt herself, And it is because the
first lady is capable of making spontaneous
and graceful gesture of that kind that her fell
low citizens are becoming so fond of her.

FREEING THE FILIPINOS

CENERAL EMILIO AGUINALDO, famous
- Filipino insurrectionist leader of gen.
Grafton ago, is en- route to Washington to urge
enactment Of new Philippine independence
bill. His trip emphasizes the fact that the bill
passed by the last congress seems to be salts
factory to nobody and needs a good deal of
revision
The independence that that law grants is
neither flesh, fowl nor good red herring. 1t
sets the Filipinos free, but keeps them in lead
ing strings that makes their freedom sham
1t threatens to cripple their commerce, and it
keeps the United States entangIed in Far
Eastern affairs
There is little in it to commend it either
to Filipino or American
If we are going to set the islanders free
and, incidentally, We promised to do so more
than thirty years ago-we might as well make
clean job Of it.

EXPLOITING THE CHILDREN

DERHAPS the most appalling news of re-
cent weeks comes from Pennsylvania, where
dispatches say several hundred boy and girl
workers have walked out of shirt and pajama
factories in an effort to end sweatshop con-
ditions.
A large percentage of these workers. it is
stated, are under Is; some of them have been
earning as little as 30 cents week
One girl of 49, the only member of a family
of seven to have job, has been working for
IS cents week. Last winter, according to
investigators for the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Labor, child workers who complained
that the shops were cold were told to work
faster and get warm"

when they descended into the
neither regions inhabited by the men
and discovered such scandalous and
pleasant goings on.
The ultimate unfairness, the
colossal inconsiderateness is the fact
that men were and apparently 1till
are capable Of insisting that women
must be superior.
For this is merely a pleasant
evasion of troublesome topic. In
the masculine dictionary at least.
superior has a different meaning
from that which Mr. Webster gave
it. 1t stands for humbleness, sub
jectiveness. dunlbness, but high
class morals.
This is the Interpretation that
gentlemen have put upon the word
and of which they feel so proud.
Women, therefore, though they NAV
be inferior in political, economic,
and social sense. always are expected
to be superior in morality. Not
better treated, nor better fed, nor
better loved, but only better be-
haved.

MARTIAL LAW FOR FARMERS


A stupidity is piled upon stupidity the
N farm conflict in Iowa. grows more
ominous.
Perhaps the farmers themselves are basic
ally to blame-for specializing in war-boom
land values for helping to foist upon the
country gold-brick high tariff for voting
reactionary administrations into office in
Washington during twelve years, for opposing
labor and progressive movements which might
have achieved more justice for the toilers of
factories and farms
We can not condone the cowardly attack of
some of those farmers in mobbing an unarmed
judge, who was serving the law which they
themselves helped to make.
But, regardless of original blame, the au-
thor1ties of Iowa have acted with complete
lack of intelligence in handling a dangerous
situation. To think that the farm revolt can
be put down by militia is particularly vicious
delusion,
government can not conquer an entire
population by force, not at least an American
population. When a whole population is
trapped by laws and contracts that no longer
can be enforced without the ruin of that
population-aS is the case in many farm
mortgage counties of the country-either the
government must find some way of modifying
the laws or face revolution.
For all the loose talk in America about
red revolution and menaceS of the kind that
exist only in the hysterical imaginations of
patrioteers, Americans are slow to understand
that actual revolution already exists in the
farm belt.
To b. sure, it is only local in scope, but
national revolution begins in local revolt
against laws, sheriffs, judges, courts militia.
When the local revolt springs from old native
stock. conservatives fighting for the right to
hold their homesteads there is the warning
of a larger explosion.
The only thing the authorities can think of
in the emergency is to call out troops and
declare martial law. They even go to the
point of declaring that these farm rioters are
to be tried by courts martial
On second thought, that seems to have been
modified in part, permitting later trials by
civilian Judges, but giving military council
jurisdiction in the preliminary hearings and
preparation of evidence for the trials.
BY allowing the military to usurp the
movers of the civil courts, the Iowa authorities
are giving the embatted farmers one more
Grievance for revolt The American Civil Lib
critics Union has reminded Governor Clyde
Herring that the United States supreme court
last year held that the mere fiat of Gov
ernor declaring that grounds existed for plac-
ing a given district under martial law was not
binding on the courts, and that an injured
nartv would have standing in the courts to
upset such action"
The authorities, with their courts-martial
plan, have done more to undermine law and
orser than the farmers who attacked the
j,dAye.
