Landon's Peace Policy.

Peace remains the great problem before
the American public today. That we
should have peace is not partisan issue;
but the means of achieving it perma-
nently does fall within the realm OF
controversy, and it was to this dispute
that Governor Landon addressed himself
Saturday night in indianapolis.
The KanSan, expounding his thesis
methodically, examined first the means
by which the United States might avert,
or materially restrict war throughout the
world, and then proposed the means by
which we might stay out of a war not
of our own making, which he considers
the real danger in the future. Mediation
and arbitration for the first; develop
ment of our policy of neutrality for the
second. These are his remedies.
The futility of collective security, be-
cause force fails when used against
major powers, has long been recognized
by those international realists who un-
derstand that whole peoples cannot be
stigmatized as aggressorS and penallzed
as criminal not at least without driving
them to that Self-discipline which Is
Communism or Fascism. For sanctions
these men-and Governor Landon num-
bers himself among them-would subSti-
tute international mediation and arbi-
tration, means long used by the United
States to bring even definitely political
disputes to solution. Although Governor
Landon eschews the World Court, of the
more than twenty decisions handed down
by that tribunal none has not been COM
piled with The United States itself offers
the proof of a sanctionless court-the SUI
preme Court - adjudicating disputes
among sovereign states. Such decisions
have uniformly been complied with, al
though the Supreme Court has no power
to enforce it's rulings on States.
Landon's listeners may have been con-
fused by his differentiation of isolation
from neutrality, as alternative policies
for keeping the United States out of
war not of our making. BY isolation he
undoubtedly meant severance of all con-
tacts-commercial, financial and eco
nomic-between the United States and
belligerents, procedure he describes as
unfair to the American people. By
development of our policy of neutrality
he meant that we should continue to
maintain and contend for those neutral
rights which, we insisted in 1917, made
it necessary for us to join the allies. BY
the continual expansion of neutral rights
at the expense of belligerent activities it
is the hope to so restrict the scope of
warfare as to make permanent peace
attainable.

The Last Week.

One week from tomorrow the American
people will 60 to the polls and vote for
the electors who later will cast their
ballots for the choices representing the
political parties for President and Vice
President. The campaign, which has
been accelerating steadily for several
weeks, is now in it's final stage Of in
tensity. Speakers are declaiming and
arguing from hundreds of rostrums.
Party workers are diligently engaged in
arousing the voters. Between the public
utterances of selected representatives on
the stump and the unpublished argu-
ments and persuasions of the hosts of
State, county and precinct political oper-
atives, the country is being aroused to
high pitch OF feeling. Polls of the
people in all the States are now on the
point of final disclosure Of the indicated
preferences Of the voters.
Each side expresses confidence of VIC
tory. But neither side can actually fore
tell the result. Claims of trends are
made, inspired mainly by hope rather
than by conviction. The great silent
vote" of the people, which cannot be
foretold by means of any test, will de-
termine the result. Shrewd observers,
travelling through the country, have made
their estimates, more or less apart from
personal predictions, and these esti-
mates vary widely.
In these last seven days much may
happen to affect the result one way or
the other. Some hitherto undisclosed
fact may bring about change Of senti-
ment In certain Of the "close" States
sufficient to epnfound the estimates of

Conquest Recognized.

As first fruit of the alliance between
the Fascist and Nad relationships, Ger
many has formally recognized the Italian
conquest of Ethiopia. That seal of
approval upon Mussolini's aggression was
personally placed upon it during the
week end by Chancellor Hitler as he
received the visit of II Duce's son-in-law
and foreign minister, Count Galeazzo
Ciano, at der Fuehrer's hideout in the
Bavarian highlands. Thus the Reich
becomes the first major power to give
oficial expression to recognition of the
new Roman empire.
It is, of course, diplomatic triumph
highly welcome to the Italian govern
ment, even though it has long been FORE
seen and does not insure that other
important countries will follow suit.
There is particularly no indication that
the United States will do so. Indeed,

both partisans and non-partisans. And
furthermore this is the time for the
'roorbacks," those sensational charges
which mark every presidential contest
and which, even lacking material foun-
dation, shake the purpose Of some who
have previously determined upon their
course.
The cheers Of those who have set their
courses definitely and are determined to
vote one way or the other may have an
effect upon the undecided. They are
heard over the radio in the course Of the
daily and nightly meetings addressed by
the chief candidates and their advocates.
But these emotional outbursts are not in
themselves assuredly effective.
The result will not necessarily be
determined by the will Of majority Of
the people. There may be an over
whelming trend of sentiment one way or
the other. Yet it is possible this year, as
it has been in the past, for the decision
to be rendered by minority, owing to
the division of the country into State
groups. A slim margin in New York may
give its forty-seven electoral votes to
one side to make 1t victorious. Or an
even Simmer margin in Delaware may
place the three electoral votes of that
State in the other column to carry the
national decision in that direction.
These possibilities cause every single
vote to be Of Importance, whatever the
volume of ballots. Thus 1t is that in
those States where the decision is not
assured by reason of traditional pre-
dominance this final week is the period
of the most intensive vote-rousing work,
both openly evident and secret.
One week from tomorrow the vote will
be cast, probably the largest vote in the
history of the Nation. And the result
may not be known for many hours after
the polls have closed. Or again, it may
be SO evident in the light of proof of
an overwhelming trend one way or the
other, that the decision will have been
recorded, even with the extension of the
voting period in New York, with its
greatest electoral strength, before mid
night on Tuesday.
This last week of the campaign is an
anxious one for many millions of Amer
leans.

tied envoy, Ambassador Suvich, 1t was
stipulated that washington would not
find it agreeable to accept credentials
that identified him as the representative
of the Emperor of Ethiopia" King
Victor Emmanuel's Mussolini made rank
and title. The American position re-
specting Ethiopias status corresponds to
the one maintained toward Japans
occupation of Manchukuo. The "Stim-
son doctrine" of non-recognition Of that
action is still the United States basic
attitude on the question of territory
acquired by force. The League powers.
having identified themselves with the
"Stimson doctrine" cannot accept the
Ethiopian conquest without complete
reversal of policy, but Geneva has shown
itself capable of executing an about face.
to save face. It's resolve to refuse recog-
milton to the Fascist "empire" may be
strengthened by Mussolini's truculent
taunts on Saturday, when he denounced
Geneva as a "band of lay fanatics who
have the presumption to think they can
kill the constructive spirit of great
nation and suffocate powerful and vital
impulse of peoples by the Interpretation
of thousand articles"
Non-recognition has not dissuaded
Japan from having and holding Man
chukuo. Similar international boycott
will not loosen Italy's hold on Ethiopia.
But the Italians, like the japanese, are
in grave want of outside capital to
develop their booty. AS long as Musso-
lini is denied acknowledgement OF his
empire" it will not be easy for him to
obtain the golden wherewithal for its
exploitation. Even the deal with Ger
many for a combined Fascist-Nazi front
against the rest of Europe cannot supply
the practical support needed to make
Italy's African game worth the candle.

Human Limitations.

Human Limitations.
It's wrong to chide man who triee
To show his best ability,
Although by Nature he's denied
A mind of great agility.
So be not quick to dull his fame
With charges of mendacity,
When all there really is to blame
Is lack Of perspicacity.
One mind is like a telescope,
Another's microscopical,
And each may mar present hope
With moments misanthropical.
So, should a friend miscalculate,
Don't question his veracity,
But gently wait and estimate
His lack of perspicacity.

Danger Of poisonous fungi, commonly
called toadstools, was shown recently
when q pet dog ate a few specimens and
died overnight.
Nature mostly protects the animals by
not giving them taste for what they
should not eat.
Death from toadstool poisoning Is
narcotic in nature, but before this comes
about the stomach of the victim is said
to be terribly torn up.
The safest way for the average person
to regard these fungi is to give them all
a wide berth, since there are thousands
Of species. and only an expert can tell
an edible mushroom from the poisonous
species commonly known as toadstools.
Surely all fungi Of this character, no
matter whether safe or otherwise, should
be uprooted and kept uprooted from all
places where people congregate, whether
in games, picnics or whatnot.
Websters, that fount Of knowledge,
says:
"Toadstool- of various agaricace-
Gus fungi having an umbrella shaped cap
or pileus; a mushroom, especially Gin
popular usage) one Of the poisonous
varieties.
"The name is sometimes extended to
other large fieshy fungi, as the morels.
puffballs, etc.
"Mushroom-Any more or less con-
spicuous fieshy fungus of the class

the order Agaricales, especially the field,
or common mushroom.

known as toadstools: many Of them
CLOSELY resemble edible FORM"
In the old days, when villager

knew already and did not care for.
The dog, in the old days, was not as
highly esteemed as now. The town
dogs, running wild. gave the entire tribe
a black eye. The value Of the toad in
catching insects was not known to the
peasantry. whom they helped the most.
Therefore, a plant which they did not
approve they were very likely to term
dog fennel" or dog parsley" for in
stance: the use Of the word dog" was
derogatory<n all such usage.
The toad was not a favorite, either,
hence in time the poisonous fungi were
called toadstools.
This was not done so much because
some fanciful wight imagined a toad
sitting either on or beneath one of these
fungi. but more because there was a
sincere desire to deprecate them, hence
the toad part of the name.
Good practice with respect to these
curious forms Of life is to uproot them
wherever found. and to have no ac-
quaintance with any of them.
This, Of course, on the part Of the
great average person, who has neither
the time nor inclination for intensive
study Of them.
This is one branch of learning most of
us can let 60 by. Even the curious, who
must at least do a little reading about
every subject, are able to confine their
acquaintance solely to books; they need
not banker after a taste.
In their gardens they will root up and
carry away probably using a shovel, or
gloves, or large pieces of paper all
forms Of such fungi which spring up, as
they will do from time to time, especially
il manure Is used as fertilizer.
Such care rather may be OVERRIDING It,
but in the end few persons have cause for
sorrow through leaving these things

Lord, am then unloved that must lie
And hour by hour feel the night drag by
To the dawn sky?
Or is 1t Thy full love may not know
While my heart beats too fast and quivers
SO
Under its woe?
Teach me to love and trust, no more
to weep;
And e'er the dawn clouds to fresh

Grant, me Thy sleep.
