Scribe Was Once Chief of International
News Service Bureau in Capital: He
Scored Many beats" on Big Stories

The washington journalistic
fraternity today mourned the loss
of one of its outstanding men,
bers, John Edwin Nevin, So, who
died at Mt. Alto Hospital today
following a paralytic stroke two
weeks ago.
A review of his work during the
past 25 years would be virtually
to trace the history of the United
States, as well as to enumerate
some of the m moSt sensational
trials and murders which blazed
across the front pages of news
papers throughout the country.
An Active Career
The veteran journalist, who
made his home in the 200 block
of Marion ST., Clarendon, Va,
counted among his friends nu-
merous persons we'll known in
politics and other phases Of pub
lie life, President Roosevelt and
the Presidents secretary, Stephen
Early, having made frequent in
quiries at the hospital during Mr..
Nevin's illness of the past two
weeks.
He was admitted to Mt. Alto
Hospital because of his military
service during the Spanish-Amer-
ican War.
Born in Fayette County, KY,
Jack Nevin began his newspaper
career in New Orleans. He was a
pioneer in the work Of the United
Press Associations in New York
City, and came to Washington in

: Democratic Senate leaders to-

that if the Administration fails
10 initiate the currency, Congress
will act on it's own initiative as
Doon as it meets.
i Pressure upon the President in
behalf of initiation was intensified
by failure Of farm commodity

gains, and by the decided rise in
prices to consumers.
; Fletcher Makes Plea
Z Senator Fletcher CD OF
FLORIDA, chairman of the Senate
Banking and Currency Commit
tee, urged Mr.. Roosevelt to use
Che inflationary powers granted
BY Congress.
= Stringency of bank credit and
nhrinkage in currency outstand-
ing were cited by the Senator as
reasons why the Administration
1hould act.
! Fletcher's plea was reinforced
by Senator Harrison CD OF Mis-
6issippi, chairman of the Senate
FINANCE Committee; Senator
Thomas Cd Of Oklahoma, author
OF the initiation rider to the farm
bill, and other powerful figures
IA Democratic ranks.
! Special Session Likely
: Increasing talk Of a special ses.
Non in November to deal with
revenue and other problems thrust
Forward by repeal Of the Eight

ing of the Senate leaders doubly

changed into bread! John had
large loaf, and Peter-only two
mouthfuls! But he was too proud
to ask any of the others to share
with him.
NN the way back across the
~ field at nightfall, no one
needed to be told to pick up a
stone, and this time Peter car
ried the largest stone of all. At
the other side of the field flowed
a river, and Jesus said: LET no
one do good for the sake of re-
ward. Throw your stones into
the river"
Peter tasted whole day, but
he learned a lesson-aye, tow les
sons; not to be Sulky. and not to
do good save for the joy of do
ing it.
How easily a murky mood can
spoil whole day, and even make
us do a lovely thing in a petty,
ugly way, 1t is only bit of
clotted selfishness, but can mar
our JOY and make us fretful and
a trial to our friends.
Let us also learn another and
deeper lesson from the story
that he who carries a load to
smooth the way for others,
though it seem to be a stone
will find at last, if he is faith
full, that it will turn to bread!

ST. simon's disciple, the famous French philos-
opher, Auguste Comte christened this new evidence
demanded by his master. sociology In his volunin-
Gus works Positive Philosophy" and "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 1t remained
for an American to place the age-long quest for
social guidance in a truly scientific perspective.
Lester F. Ward was for most of his life natural
scientist in government employ. OF tireless indus
try and great self-conhdence he accumulated
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 Hoovers committee on social
trends and their research assistants.
This academy would gather all available data on
every conceivable public problem. It would ind-
cate the general character of current social deve-
opments and the desirable political policies which
should control and guide them in the interest of
human happiness and well-beng. Legislators on
Capitol Hill would flock to the academy for advice
to what laws were 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
and world depression. President Hoover's commit
tee now has taken 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 of data, many specific reports, and the
intelligent summation which just has been made
publc-all under governmental sanction.
If drift into something than 1914 to
1888, say that have not been in
formed adequately and warned powerfully.

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, in spite of the influence
of church and the mightiest news
papers in the land.
Otherwise, these lawmakers
would not propose to make home

starting all over again the sneak
ing, demoralizing tactics of en-

GOVERNMENT BY KNOWLEDGE

The 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 are of greater significance for
the public.
But of greater moment than either the specific
facts the associated conclusions is the import of
the enterprise 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
complex urban and industrial world civilization of
1888.
The effort to encourage government by intell-
gence and to develop science of social progress
boast long history, in spite of very slight concrete
achievements to date in actual governmental circles
Among the Greeks, Platos 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
far as was possible in his day to develop science
of political leadership in his immortal Politics"
But the first writer to argue comprehensively for
real science Of human progress was the Able
Bernardn 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 feow-countrymen failed to heed the
able. France did not 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 Bourbons than
the Grand Monarque."
This French revolution OF the late eighteenth
century, together with the progress of science and
the rise of the new nduStrialisn, stimulated
other Frenchman to argue further the necessity of
a science of social guidance. This was the brilliant
and versatile Count Henri de st. Simon.
He contended that progress never could be as
sured unless social development was controlled by
specific science of social progresses. Good inten-

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

Fllipinos themselves are divided over accent
ance of independence upon such disastrous terms

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 plebscite would be held That part
of the Hoover plan, in judgment would COM
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 Filipinos economically dependent
upon us, against their will we honoraby 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
necessitates a similar period of continued political
rule by the United States.
