All.Star Ball Games.

AS a means of raising money for a
worthy purpose the "all-star" base ball
game played annually between the two
major leagues is deserving of public sup
port, and yesterday at Boston it was
productive of goodly contribution to
the support of the aged and disabled
veterans of the national sport. But as q
spectacle it is lacking in the elements
Of first-class competition. The players
are chosen by popular vote and are
presumably the best to be found in the
two major organizations. They are not,
however, in the true sense of the term
veritable ball teams. Out Of the names
receiving the highest votes of the fans"
the respective managers select their
sides" Each represents the league from
which they are drawn, playing in their
usual positions. But in order to give
the spectators a view of all, or as many
as possible, constant shifts must be
made in the lineup and the team that
finishes the game on each side is by no
means the same as that which starts.

Guilty in raising the $4,000, 900, more or
less, which is now mentioned as their
1896 campaign requirement. The COM
mon guess Is that the @. o. p. war
chest as matter of fact will eventually
far exceed those dimensions. Whatever
is necessary is likely to be forthcoming
from those well upholstered quarters in
the world Of big business, where the New
Deal and all its works are seldom dis
cusSed in polite language. BY the same
token, the Democrats anticipate rough
shedding in garnering their own sinews
of war. They expect to have to depend
for the most part on relatively small
individual contributions rather than on
the fat four or i've figure checks which
in other days used to roll readily into
the Golfers of both parties.
One of the striking phrases in PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's Independence day ad-
dress at Monticello was his statement
that Jefferson was . great gentleman
and q great commemorative two are not
incompatible" Some authorities read
into that passage subtle retort by the
President to occasional suggestions that
Roosevelt's "aristocratic" background Of
wealth, breeding and culture is out of
keeping with his humanitarian enthusi-
asm for the average man. The opposi-
ton thought. in this connection, is that
Landon, with his humber, grass roots up
bringing. more nearly typifies the COM

Drought and Civilization.

For the third time in six years the
principal agricultural sections OF the
country are suffering from crop-blight-
ing drought.
Droughts are an element in the mys-
terious, longtime economy of nature.
They have occurred, at somewhat irreg-
ular intervals, throughout human his
tory and probably throughout geologic
time. Life has been forced to adjust
itself to them, to develop through the
process of survival of the fittest forms
of plants and animals physiologically
adapted to drought resistance. 1t has
been story of patient, expensive, slow
moving experimentation.
Along came man and interfered with
Natures solutions. He neglected to study
them and scorned to abide by them, until
a series of justly inflicted penalties
forced him to adjust his own ways OF
life in accordance with them. Prim-
tive man learned how to live in drought
areas, and very successfully. Out OF
the deserts have come great civilizations.
Civilized man still has the lesson to
learn. He faces the seemingly almost
insoluble problem of adjusting his civili-
zation to drought-physically biological
ly, economically and politically. There
Is little likelihood that the adjustment can
be made by any one or two generations.
This is particularly the case with the
great range country of the West. There
the biological adjustment to recurring
droughts was delicate. There was little
margin of safety. The pioneer proceeded
ruthlessly to destroy by over-grazing and
ploughing the tolerance which nature
had set up. In other parts of the coun-
try the margin of safety was enormous
and mans manipulations have had little
cumulative effect.
In these three successive droughts in
dividuals have paid the penalty. What
can be done about it? The most obvious
answer is to stop interfering and give
Nature free hand once more to restore
the balance. The range country should
never have been ploughed for wheat. 1t
should never have been over-grazed.
The great bison herds probably repre-
sented the maximum of grazing possible
under Natures adjustment. Primitive
man would have escaped much of the
penalty for his mistakes by moving and
forcing his way into richer pastures.
Something of this sort, 1t is probable was
responsible for the great Hun and Tartar
invasions of Europe
Here enters the complication Of civili-
zation. 1t is one thing for a horde of
nomads to move, quite another thing for
settled communities with homes, banks,
churches, schools. machinery, etc. The
answer seems to be that the retreat
should be gradual but progressive. Next
year there may be relatively abundant
rains on the range area. The grass will
come back-but not quite to where it
was before. If this happens it must be
remembered that the drought will come
again and If there has been a full re-
sumption of the former activities the
penalty will be more severe.
There remains the pressing problem
Of relief for the victims of the present
situation. Such relief, at the best, will
be expensive for the whole country. The
next time it will be more expensive, re-
gardless of the form it follows.

MED the right Of representation by
counsel.
While Japan has now given impressive
evidence of its determination not to per-
NIT irresponsible military hotspurs to
carry on a reign of terror against the
civilian government, it would be pre-
mature to conclude that the army has
by the same token been altogether shorn
of its traditional influence in the molding
Of japanese imperial policy. The cardi-
nal offense committed by the rebels was
their revolt against the authority of
the Emperor. That was an unpardon-
able crime in Japanese eyes, because of
the nations deep-seated and unqualified
respect for the majesty Of the throne
and all and sundry associated with 1t.
1t was inevitable that sooner or later
those guilty of disloyalty to the imperial
house would pay heavily for their trea-
sonable conduct. Thus a decisive blow
has been struck not only for army dis
cipline, but also for the impregnable
prestige OF the supreme parsonage 10
whom all japanese yield inalienable al
legiance.
Last Winters upheaval had its incep-
ton in the theory that certain elements
close to the throne we're not inspired by
that patriotic aggressiveness which the
extreme imperialists hold to be in

destiny as a world power, especially with
respect to mastery of the Far East. Time
will be required to show whether cur
rently stern events at Toxic denote any
sustained curb on the supermilitarist
spirit which even at this time Is lnani-
Testing itself afresh in China, IN ways
that fill the world with revived anxiety
and alarm over Japan'S purposes.

Yesterday thirty-one players particle
pated. II on the losing side and II on
the winning. That rarely takes place
in q regular game and never in q contest
where the score is as close as that Of
yesterday.
Base ball is mainly team work, the
victory going to the best combination Of
pitching, fielding and batting. The ideal
game is that which Is played from start
to finish without changes. Thus yester-
days game, as the preceding ones in
this "all-star" SERIES Is far from being q
type Of the sport. It is not a test of
the respective and relative merits OF the
two leagues. Such q test is that of the
world series which closes each season,
the two champion teams of the leagues
meeting in q series Of contests. Sup
posedly-and indeed in fact-these two
teams are the best In the country and
their battles for final honors constitute
the climax of base ball drama. The "all-
star" game is but midseason diversion
for a good cause, with the public paying
cheerfully for the spectacle for the sake
Of seeing a number Of contestants and
incidentally contributing to the funds
whereby the otherwise helpless veterans
Of the sport are spared the sufferings of
poverty.
Washington is to be the scene Of the
next game Of this kind. 1t will doubtless
I'LL the park to overfiowing. But it would
be more to the liking of the local sup
porters Of the sport to be hosts to a
fourth world series contest, with the Ma
tionals participating as they have on three
previous occasions. There is always hope.

Gov. Landon's description Of himself
as "a horse and buggy Governor" strikes
most observers as denoting the Repub-
lican nominees readiness to look upon
constitutionalism as the paramount 1896
bone of contention. Expectation is ac-
cordingly pretty general that the Kan
sans speech of acceptance on July %
will stress New Deal ''collectivism" and
threatened "Europeanization" of the
American system of government. and ap-
peal to the country for support on those
issues. If Landon contrives to dramatiZe
and perSonify the fight against Federal
Capitalization, Republicans are con-
vinced that, along with the Governors
Identification in the popular mind with
thrift and economy. he will effectively
combine the two big propositions on
which the G. o. P. mainly pins its hopes
Of victory. Exactly to what extent Lam
don measures up to the cardinal require
ments of the situation his forthcoming
major utterance should indicate. Even
though he lacks the oratorical 'it," par
ticularly the radio style" of F. D. R..
Republicans say it is the stuff Landon
stands for, rather than the manner Of
its presentation, which counts and which
will in the last analysis tell the tale.
The story Is that the Governor is being
advised to lay of any attempt to match
the President SIS a spellbinder, and
simply be himself
It goes without saying that the Repub-
licans are overjoyed by the news that
Senator Borah will support the Landon-
Knox ticket. Their cup of happiness will
not be quite full until and unless the
Idahoan signifies his willingness to go
on the Stump-which nowadays means
on the air-and lend the powerful inf1u-
ence of his sonorous voice 100 per cent
to the horse and buggy" cause. All con-
cerned recall that it was largely the
eloquent appeals of Borah that popu-
larized the Hoover ticket in 1928. Equally
well remembered is the circumstance
that even though Borah did not bolt
in 1882, his inactivity in the campaign
was one Of the contributory factors in
the lamentably poor showing made by
Hoover in his ill-starred battle for re-
election. The probability that the Senate
veteran will seek another term In Con-
gress, and have to wage stiff contest
with Gov. c. Ben Ross or some other
Idaho Democrat, foreshadows that the
sage of Boise will roll up his sleeves
and be in the thick Of the G. O. p.
fight, State and national. That at least
is the prospect to which Chairman Ham
ilton longingly looks forward.
Minister Ruth Bryan Owen, who has
apparently come home from Denmark
to mix matrimony with Democratic ma
tional politics, has not only inherited
paternal talent as platform orator. In
days gone by she has also been pro-
fessional teacher of the silver-tongued
art. Before she entered Congress as
Representative of the fourth Florida
district in 1929, Mrs. Owen taught public
speaking in the University Of Miami and
later wrote a text book on the subject.
