u. S. GREATNESS LIES WITHIN ITS
BORDERS
An RRUCE CATTON)

o. (Sy BhUOE OAI 1O-H
1t is rather strange, when you stop to
think about it, that more attention was
not paid to the passage of the Philippine
independence bill.
This measure, recently accepted IN Ma
Mia, does more than bind the United States
to give its island wards the freedom II
promised them so long ago. 1t marks the
close of an epoch-the final abandonment
of dream that was lifted high against
the western sky a generation ago.
Who can remember that turbulent and
excited Spanish War era now? 1t seems
very remote, almost as far away from us
as the Civil War period.
1t was the signal oflour coming age, the
violent and erratic announcement by a
giant that ne had attained his growth and
meant to do great things in the world.
Doing great things in the world meant,
in those days, becoming an empire, plant
ing the flag overseas, taking up the white
mans burdens, and all that sort of thing !;
it meant looking with pride at new spots
on the map, and learning strange names
like Mindanao and the Sulu Sea, and med
itating on the pride and glory of great
nation.
So we took over the Philippines, not
knowing precisely what we, wanted OF
them, but sure that taking them was
good thing.
Now, a generation later, we turn tf1el1
loose again, giving them the independence
they wanted in the first place; and IN tne
time between something has happened t.
our dream, something has taken our con
ceptoY of greatness and turned it inside
out. -. ,..,
The truth of the matter probably is thai
we have learned that we have problems
enough at home. i''''
We have become great and strong, Just
as we told ourselves we should, back in
'98. But we have begun to realize that
greatness and strength don't rest on lonely
garrisons in far-off seas, or on grim squad
rons at anchor in tropical bays: they need
as foundation prosperity and happiness
and freedom among the people at home,
and if they lack those things they lack
everything
Our odtposts of empire are no longer
places ike Luzon and Cavite; they are the
bread-lines in our own cities, the farms
that drain the blood from the men Who
work them, the sham areas that need to be
rebuilt, the industries that profit neither
seller nor buyer, the injustices that await
settlement
No longer will we prove our greatness
by sending khaki-clad patrols into steam
ing jungles to die far from home. We
have bigger jobs, closer home.
We are giving up our island empire be-
cause We have found a new one in our
own front yard. eci - SO

HAYMARkEr RIOT RECALLED

| Forty-eight years ago, May a, riot call was
sounded in the police station on Des PLANES street,
Chicago, and few minutes later 176 policemen
hurried to the old HaymsrKet to quell riot They
had hardly reached it before dynamite bomb was
hurled into their ranks, killing nine policemen and
wounding more than 70 other officers and spec
tators.
The bomb thrown by one, of group of
anarchists. A number of arrests were made, and
convictions and executions followed after able
lawyers for the defense had made every effort to
free the men,.
Last Monday five survivors of the detail of po-
hcemen engaged in the Haymarket riot gathered
to revive memories of the terrible ordeal through
which they passed on that night of May a, 1886.
The youngest of the FIVE was rs years old and the
oldest 81.
The incident Is cited to show that half century
ago in the United States the forerunners>o of pres
ent-day Communists and gargsters were serious
police problem. We hear much of Communist
manifestations in this country today but none of
them has. approached in violence that of the an
archist outrage in Chicago in 1sss,-spaartanburg

SPRING TONICS

Spring housekeeping, spring
fever, spring tonics,-we don't
hear nearly so much of these
perennials as we once did. Spring
house-cleaning has been rendered
superfluous,-in some homes at
least, let us hope,-by keeping
the house reasonably clean thru
out the winter. And an interest
ing theory, not wholly dissimilar,
has been advanced for the wan
ing of the annually appearing
spring fever, with the horrible
tasting spring tonics that used to
be employed to "cure" it.
Until recent years, fresh fruits
and vegetables have not been
easy, or cheap, to obtain during
the winter. And all of the vita
MINIS come either from them by
way of animals that have eaten
them before we have gotten
round to eating the animal. And
the lack of sunshine heightens
the paucity of vitamin D. Hence
the rundown feeling" so COM
mon toward the end of the long
winter, especially the long north
ern winter. Hence also the need
for something with a kick to it,
and if sulphur and molasses, or
treacle (what is treacle, any
way,) doesn't make enough stir
in the innards to make anyone
forget that tired feeling, then
they must taste better than they
sound.
Spring tonics? Of course not.
Outdoor exercise, plenty of sun
shine, and an abundance of fresh
fruits and vegetables, there's an
R that beats any tonic, any sea-
son of the year.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Richard
son: l know that it is the law
that children must be vaccirated
before they are admitted to
school. But isn't this Just sur
vival of a precaution once need
ed, but now no longer necessary.
Who ever hears of smallpox these
days?
ANSWER: No, smallpox is by
no means a thing of the past.
There are hundreds of cases, all
over the country, ever year; and
in Europe it is still encountered
not infrequently. Nothing but
the almost universal vaccination
of our population keeps smallpox
from again becoming what it
once was, one of the worst dis
ease scourages known. Almost
everyone has to have measles but
before vaccination con-
trolled it, was even more general
than measles. And nothing else,
general resistance,
ever been known
to have the slightest effect upon
the occurrence of smallpox. No,
is, not yet outmoded;
it is a real and very-present de-
Tense against very dreadful,
disgusting, and frequently fatal
disease.
QUESTION: can't dispute it:
but there are lots of things that
are going to worry me a whole
lot more than this scare-head an
nouncement. IF you keep as close
ly III touch with your children's
school teachers as l do with mine,
you will know in plenty of time
to prevent injury. Let's get we'll
acquainted with these teachers of
ours,-that is the most sensible
protection we could possibly OBJ
tain.

PAST MISTAKES TO
Be USED AS GUIDE
IN REVISED PLANS
Fresh Approach to Pressing
Problem of Price Control
Contemplated
WOULD HOLD COSTS DOWN
New Idea Is Applied to Tire
Code; Enforcement Arm
Being Speeded Up

Washington, April 28.-(P)-Signifi.
cent new lines in NRA policy. based
on study Of past mistakes and on
the attacks Of critics, took definite
shape Saturday.
A totally fresh approach to the
question Of price control-most con-
troverted of NRA issues next to un-
ionism-was shown in a code setup
for the retail tire industry. Unlike
most code price provisions adopted in
the past, this one Is aimed at keeping
prices low and at allowing normal
competition without suicidal price
wars.
A speeded enforcement policy Fri
day yielded fines in federal courts
against two big textile concerns, one
q $25, 900, 900 corporation. Both plead
ed guilty to code violations.
Further, an attempt to localize
codes for the service industries, de-
signed to prevent repetition elsewhere
OF the wholesale violations under
NRA's code for cleaners, began its try
out In the laundry trade.
Along still another new line aimed
at better protection for workers, . rul-
ing was issued that employers cannot
keep piecework employees standing
around half the day on call and pay
them only for the actual labor done.

sobbed:
