nan Side Of the News - By Edwin c. T I'LL

Ex-Governor Frank o. Low
den, of Illinois, breaks the
silence of years to remind us
that little men have a way of
sneering which is quite beyond
their comprehension, the gran
deur and genius of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. He
tells us that the Constitution,
and the Constitution alone, has
held the 48 States together, and
that without it they would fall
apart and break up.
And he points out that it is
almost impossible to get a new
Constitution going these days,
as the experience in New York
and other States proved, for 1t
is we'll nigh impossible to get
the majority of people in an in
dividual State even to accept a
new charter.
For many cogent reasons,
says Frank Lowden, we had bet
ter hold on to our veneration
of our 147-year-old-guarantee of
freedom.
Quite a man, that Lowden.
Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois
victim of the most singular
series OF misfortunes that poll
tics ever knew. He stands to-
day a lonely figure, cheated by
malevolent circumstances of his
hearts desire. the Presidency.
Three times the grand prize has
been almost within mis- grasp.
Three times it has been
Snatched from him-once by
the untimely death of a friend,
once by the blind stupidity Of
his followers and once by his
finite human inability to pene-
trate the future.
Always he could have had
those things which he disdained
the lesser though gorgeous
prizes of office-the Vice Presi-
dency-Cabinet ministries and
ambassadorships-but the one
thing his ambition burned for
has evaded him-slipped away
after touching the very finger
tips.
A sincere, fortnight and able
men, Frank Lowden, has aspired
to be President because of the
good work he believed he could
do. Destiny said no, said it
repeatedly, and Knocked him by
the very fashion of her refusal.
Lowden is a striking and digni-
fled figure. Short of stature,
stoutly built, yet with no excess
of fat; strong and forceful face
crowned by a name of thick
white hair; audacity and pug
nacity in his brow and eyes;
his skin Redeemed by farm life,
he has in him something of the
bulldog and something of the
eagle, this man of necessarily
frustrated hopes.
He is rich, but he knows what
it is to be poor. He was born
on a farm and he is still a
farmer at heart, but he has
been and is lawyer, banker,
business man, orator and stu
dent of economics.

The Village Effect
F Streets Jog

The announcement that Public Works Administrator
Harold Ickes will give renewed consideration to the
ouest for an allotment of funds the south steps
of the old Patent Office Building holds out the hope that
one of Washington worst traffic nusances will be
abated.
MR.. ICKEs' ATTITUDE ON THE PROPOSAL WAS
MADE PUBLIC AFTER THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION AT MEET
ING LAST WEEK HAD TAKEN ACTION LOOKING
TO SUPPORTING THE CAMPAIGN OF THE WASH
1NGToN TIMES FOR WIDENING STREET BE-
TWEEN SEVENTH AND NINTH STREETS
It is to be hoped that the stimulus given the movement
by the action of the commission and by the receptive
attitude of Mr., Ickes will result in speedy action
Washngtonians have put up with the condition created
by the jog in F Street for years.
It is silly condition not warranted by any quality Of
utility beauty in the design of the old Patent Office
LIKE MANY OF wAsH1NGToN's MISTAKES
AND THERE ARE QUITE FEw-TH1s ONE HAS
CONTINUED TO PERSIST LARGELY BECAUSE OF
LETHARGY AND BECAUSE OF LACK OF CON-
CERTED ACTION ON THE PART OF OUR CITIZENS,
EACH OF WHOM IS AFFECTED IN HIS DAILY LIFE
BY THE SITUATION.
AS we have pointed out BEFORE everyone agrees that
the situation is ntoerabe everyone agrees that some
thing should be done, but nothing is done.
Now, with the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission committed definitely to of vigorous
action and with the indication that Mr. Ickes will give
serious consideration to the money angle progress is
being made.
There have been several plans proposed for remedyng
the situation ranging in estimated cost from $4,000 to
100000
NONE OF THESE FIGURES WOULD BE TOO HIGH
TO PAY FOR REMOVING THE COUNTRY VILLAGE
EFFECT FROM ONE OF OUR PRINCIPAL BUSINESS
THOROUGHFAREs.
The 100000 plan contemplates the removal of the
monumental but unused southern steps Of the Patent
Office Building the remodeling of the facade of the
structure and the widening of Street to permit
an flow of traffic through it's entire length
This proposal is the which has the most general
approval.
Those who are particularly interested in preserving
and enhancing the beauty Of the National Capital are
convinced that removal of the steps would deract
in any way from the beauty of the building.
On the other hand this treatment would make it pos
sbe to make the entire section affected attractive
It would be money well spent.
MR.. ICKES, IN CONSIDERING THE PLEA FOR
AN ALLOTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS FUNDS TO
FINANCE THE PROGRAM, WILL FIND THAT AN
EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE PROPORTION OF THE
MONEY PROPOSED TO BE EXPENDED WOULD GO
TO CREATING JOBS.
Comparatively little of the money sought would be
spent the purchase of materials the drawing of
extensive plans The big item would be labor and many
men could be put to work the job at once
That angle of the project should and have doubt
will, appeal to Mr.. Ickes.

NATURAL DEATH
RELATIVE Term,
SCIENCE HOLDS
Cave Men Expected to Die
Violently; Moderns
Germ Victims.
Ry Science Service

Ry Science Service
WASHINGTON. April 20.-How
many of US will die a natural"
death?
Scientists who look into the frag-
mentary records that are left us of
the life of ancient man are in
clined to believe that most people
in the old stone age died violently;
by attack Of wild beasts or poison
Gus snakes, by falls from cliffs, by
drowning. by hunger or thirst or
cold-perhaps even by being killed
Gf old or infirrn) in times of fam
inc. Disease, to be sure, was not
unknown; indeed, the thighbone of
what some claim is the most an
Gent human being, the Java ape
man, has a marked pathological
growth on it. But, it is said, not
many individuals in that day of
EXTREMIST rugged individualiSm got
a chance to lie down quietly and
be sick until they died.
But is it a really natural death
to die of disease? At least of a
disease caused by germs? Do they
not also kill us by violence?
If man is hanged by mob,
we do not argue that he did not
die by violence. But if mob of
diphtheria bacteria swell the It's
sues of his throat shut and thus
strangle him, he dies in much the
same way, and by the action of
strangers, even if they are micro
Scopic. There is little disagreement
that the victims of the Borgias'
poisons died violently. Yet the
poisons spread in our systems by
a score or more of bacterial species
are vastly more potent and subtle
than the comparatively crude
arsenic compounds instilled into
winecups by those very practical
politicians of the Italian renais-
sance.
1t is likely that stone age man
considered it natural to die by
drowning or freezing, by bite of
serpent or claws of cave bear, just
as we today consider it natural"
to die from the assaults of much
smaller foes. Perhaps in some flu
ture day, after we have wiped out
pathogenic bacteria and parasitic
protozoa and other microscopic
killers, we shall go back to the cave
mans concept of accidental death
as the natural end of man.
Of course, there remain our own
physiological disturbances: Heart
disease, cancer, diabetes and the
rest. In these, one organ, or one
class of tissues, gets out of order
and at last involves the whole or
ganism in it's own ruin. This would
certainly seem to be the most
natural" kind of death. But could
it not also be looked on as kind
of civil war-one part of the body
using violence (however unwitting-
ly) for the ruin of all the rest?

BIZ Enited Press

by CUlEeU HTCSS
KENT, O., April 20.-Kent staters
still were gasping today under a
tongue-lashing handed out by Ted
Shawn, famous apostle of the natur-
al dance, who stepped from his ac-
customed role to give a large college
audience a verbal trouncing for its
bad manners"
Shawn's enlistment in the ranks
of Eva LIE Gallianne, Ethel Barry
more and other SOLDIERS of audi
ences, came like bolt out of a clear
sky after a performance which had
been generously applauded.
The audience was a Well-dressed
assemblage of college students,
deans and professors from Kent
State college, and other civic minded
souls willing to take a chance on
seven male eccentric dancers.
To be sure, there were some snick-
ers when the dancers first appeared,
so attired as to make Mahatma
Gandhi look overdressed, and a few

But on the whole the audience
was appreciative and Shawn inter
rupted thunderous applause when
at the conclusion of the final num-
Der. he raised a hand for silence,
stepped forward and said:
I've played to audiences in Bos-
ston and New York, to the hill billies
of the Carolinas and the cowboys
of Texas, but you are the most ILL
bred and ill-mannered audience to
which I have ever been subjected"
The audience sat in stunned 81
lence, then good-natured applause
broke out again, and the spectators
went home smiling.

Force A Delay!

Clever propaganda trick: The statements
of American MISUNDERSTANDING Davis and
Hearst historian" Ferrero that imperalist war
is impossible
Their published reason: The governments
of Europe are so unstable they could not put
armies into the field. Even staid England de-
clares Davis, would have such trouble at home
and in the army she would not get her men
across the channel Hitler, says Ferrero, would
sign his own death warrant the day he put guns
into the hands of two or three million Germans.
Purpose: To disarm us to get us to slacken
off the fight against war. Even in the last fatal
weeks of July 1914 statesmen of world repute
were declaring that war was impossible"
Lesson: There is enough truth in what they
say to indicate clearly the road to take in the
fight against imperast war Rapid develop
ment of a militant anti-war movement VIII
slow down the impeTialists. Immediate growth
of the Communist movement for revolutionary
seizure of power by the working class will make
them fear to take the final step, to declare war
Whatever one thinks of Communism the fact
stands out that fear of revolution at home is an
enormous anti-war factor
Admission: Davis excerpts one country from
the blanket statement OF unstabilty-the So
Wet Union Says an American general NO sol
diers have the morale of the Red Army. They
know what they are fighting for" As the father
land of all workers grows in power as mount
ing millions around the world shout the slogan,
"Defend the Soviet Union" another mighty bull
wark is built against the declaration of war.
Conclusion: We are close to the brink of
imperalst war that we perhaps cannot prevent
it. But each day is an opportunity to build the
movement against war and fascism, for defense
of the Soviet Union, and so delay war. Each
delay brings us closer the time when war will
be banshed forever from the earth and peace
will reign
