Spain Explained.

The revolution in Spain, which may
possibly engulf Europe, seems all ''whop-
per-jawed" to the average American.
He is confused by such terms as "loyal-
lists" applied to obvious Communists,
and insurgents" applied to obvious
Fascists. These are used in the Pick
vickian sense. The present Spanish
government, which is "red' govern
ment, is fighting for what it believes,
Just as the revolutionists, who are the
royalists and the conservatives, are
fighting for their standards. The loyal
ists-those loyal to the present "red"
government-are really the insurgents,
are actually the radicals.
In this real war in Spain, where many
Americans thought just castles grew
before, there is at issue the great battle
OF the present era of history. It is over
the question of whether mankind shall
stick to the old ideas, the old loyaltieS,
the old economic issues, the old human
relationships, tried through the CEN
turies, and found to be a mixture of
good and evil or set sail on unchartered
seas for the far port of economic equality
and justice for all men, also an obvious
mixture of good and evil.

World Peace and Feathers.

Washington is Injured to all sorts Of
demonstrations in behalf of or against
this, that and the other thing. But throw
ing feathers all over Assistant Secretary
Woodring's Office at the War Department
as a demonstration in behalf of world
peace is something new under the sun.
What is the relationship between
throwing feathers and war, against
which Mr.. Hockaday apparently pro-
tests? The relationship possibly may
be obtained through the process of
antitheSiS, viz: Mr.. Hockaday DEM
onStrates the sanity of war by throw
ing feathers in the air. In other words,
when men kill each other, destroy prop
erty, cucumber themselves with debt,
disrupt their homes, their business and
their lives, that is an eminently sane
course of conduct. But when Mr.. Hook
aday demonstrates in behalf of world
peace by decorating himself like an In
dian and throwing feathers all over the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of War,
Mr.. Hockaday finds himself placed under
observation at Gallinger, which is un-
doubtedly where he belongs.
Is there any moral to be drawn from
this? Absolutely none. Merely feathers.

On the Border Line.

Representative Bolton of Ohio, chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee, says his friends
of the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee plan to circumvent the
provisions of the corrupt practices act
through sale of advertising to finance
the proposed publication, THE Demo-
cratic Register"
This book, which will sing the praises
of the New Deal and adorn its pages
with elegant pictures Of handsome Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress, together
with their noble works in behalf of man
kind, will be printed, according to the
present plans, for distribution to con-
gressional candidates. One hundred and
five thousand copies will be given away
free to prospective voters in the States.
The advertising, it is proposed, will sell
at the rate of $7OO page.
Mr.. Bolton suggests that requirements
of the corrupt practices act for the list
ing and report of campaign contribu-
tions will be evaded. But purchase of
advertising in the book will be busi-
ness transaction, not a campaign contri-
button. Viewed in that light, it might
pass muster.
But there is another provision of the
act, which is even more pertinent:
1t is unlawful for any national bank
or any corporation organized by author
ity of any law of Congress to make a
contribution in connection with any
election to any political Office, or for any
corporation whatever to make contrl-
button in connection with any elec-
ton at which presidential and vice
presidential electors or a Senator or
Representative in Congress are to
be voted for, or for any candidate, polit-
ical committee or other person to accept
or receive any contribution prohibited
by this section.
Whether there is any violation of this
statute under the proposal to finance
publication of campaign hand book
through sale of advertising to corpora
tionS would have to be determined by a
court of law. The difference between
contribution" and the purchase of such
advertising is very slim. But the fact
remains that the transaction would, as
Mr.. Bolton says, be manifest circum-
vention of the law, and, moreover, viola
ton of the spirit of the law The Demo-
cratic Congressional Campaign Commit
tee should shun such business and drop
the plan.

q BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The intimate family life of the mar
moSet-the squirrel monkey of the
Amazon with a voice like a birds de-
scribed in a report to the American
Society of MammalogiStS here by Alice
Fitzgerald of New York City, who keeps
these tiniest of all the monkey family
as pets.
The report is partly in the form of a
daily diary of the behavior of a mar
moSet family after the birth of their
second young. 1t is strangely "hu-
man" story.
The family group consisted of five
animals-father and mother, the baby,
an older sister named Mischief, and a
male "boarder" named Biggio, who be-
came the volunteer nurse of the little
one. Biggio, no relative, was placed in
the same cage with the others and was
practically accepted as a member of the
family by father and Mischief, although
for a long time mother treated him
coldly.
Father was especially fond of the
newcomer and would nuzzle him affec-
tionately, much to Biggio's delight. After
the baby was born the mistress Of the
monkeys kept the daily diary of their
Third day-Baby plainly visible on
top of mother 1t balances itself per-
fectly, no matter how much mother
moves around Father is very attentive.
He frequently hicks and cleanses the
baby and this cleansing is also done by
the eldest daughter Biggio, the unre-
lated male, remains constantly at
mothers side and no one seems to OBJ
ject to his presence.

to father-the transfer from mothers
back made by the baby itslf. This is a
severe test of its strength as father fire.
quently leaps around the cage and is
quite abrupt in his movements. All
members of the group are very attentive.
They take turns cleaning baby Baby
was found later in the day on Biggio's
back. This began Biggios career as
bachelor nurse. The animals were
watched for about an hour. During this
time Biggio scolded off both mother
and father and ran from them with his
precious cargo. Shortly afterward the
baby was nursing again.
Fifth to seventh days-Biggio has
full-time Job and carries the baby prac-
tically all day long except for nursing

hour for about 10 minutes at time.
After nursing baby transfers itself to
Biggio, who is always on the spot to
receive his charge. Fathers response
bilities are limited to keeping baby clean
and mothers to nursing it. The sister,
Mischief, keeps carefully out Of the way.
When evening comes and mother has
taken baby to the sleeping quarters,
Biggio settles down to a good hearty
meal. On the seventh day, by accident,
baby got on MiSchief'S back. Mischief
at once tried to pass it on to father and
then to mother, who accepted it. AL
though the transfer is generally made
from back to back, both parents can be
said sometimes to take the baby by
stretching out the arms and drawing it
to the breast Both father and Mischief
refuse to carry the baby. If it clings
to them they rub it off against the side
Of the cage. Mother always answers the
call of distress and takes the little one.

Lemke's Power to Harm.
From the Newark Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News.
No third party presidential candidate
ever won an election in this country.
Nobody with a Scintilla of POLITICAL
pindedness expects Mr.. Lemke to do it.
Ms power to injure the chances, however,
of either of the major party candidates
is something to which the leaders are
giving careful thought. Republicans and
Democrats each affect to believe Lemke
will pull more from the other side. The
truth is they do not know.
Mr.. Lemke's ability to harm, whatever
it may be, will be registered far more by
his popular vote-the vote he takes away
from Roosevelt and Landon in respective
States-than by any electoral vote he
may manage to pick up. The biggest
popular vote ever obtained by minority
party candidate was that of Theodore
Roosevelt as Progressive in 1912 1t
was 27t4 per cent of the vote cast and
totaled 4,119,507. President Taft that
year got 232 per cent and 3,484.956 votes.
They together exceeded Woodrow Will
sons vote of 6,293,019 by more than
100000, but Roosevelt got only 88 cleo
toral votes and Taft but 8 to 435 for
Wilson, who received 41.2 per cent Of the
popular vote.
Back in 1924 the late Robert NJ La Fol-
lette, father of the present Senator, got
one vote out of every six cast in the
election, but he carried only one State
his own-Wisoonsin.

Danger of the Open Road.

An article in the current issue of the
magazine State Government points out
that while the city death total from
traffic accidents increased by only $500,
or twenty-Seven per cent, between 1925
and 1884, deaths on the open road and
IN towns under 10000 in population
Increased by about 1890, or $50 per
cent. Up to 1924 traffic deaths in the
cities exceeded those in the country.
Since then the menace of the open road
has increased far faster than the kindred
menace of the crowded city streets.
Why? r. L. Forney, statistician of
the National Safety Council and author
of the article, suggests that while cities
are still responsible for making their
streets safe for motorists and pedes-
trians, a new and heavier responsibility
has shifted to the State governments.
And, according to some of the statistics
he furnishes, the State governments are
notably remiSS in their exercise of this
responsibility. For instance, only twenty
less than half-of the States have any
laws requiring examination of applicants
> for a drivers license. In most of the
States the drivers license-if one is
reouired-is as purchasable as a spare
tire, without regard to the drivers fit
ness. In less than half of the States
are there any laws requiring the report
ing of automobile accidents to the proper
State authorities. rs it not almost un-
believable," asks Mr.. Forney consider
ing the enormity of the traffic accident
problem, that over half the States still
do not take the trouble to count the
number Of injuries and deaths that are
occurring on their highways" 1t is.
An interesting proportion of traffic
accidents, in those States which count
them, is caused by drivers from other
States. Some States, on the other hand,
such as Minnesota, which tabulate sta
tistics on accidents find that about half
the accidents in cities are caused by
rural drivers. In addition to the neceS-
sity for carefully drawn traffic legisla-
ton in the States, there is the need for
uniform legislation. Such legislation
exists in the form of the Uniform
Vehicle Code, prepared by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety. The fact that uniformity of
traffic laws is desirable needs no argu-
ment, but is borne out in the statistics,
which show that between 1880 and 1885
ten States actually brought about
reduction of the motor death rate. while
the increases in the remainder of the
States varied from about one to ninety
per cent.

friendly arms of mother or Biggio when
in trouble.
Second week-Biggio spends all his
time carrying the baby or crouching near
mother during the nursing periods in
order to take it again. The parents
seem to show no concern as to the where
abouts of the infant when they are not
nursing or cleansing it. Biggio is OBJ
served crawling under the paper or
blanket with the baby on his back, an
action possibly prompted by jealousy, as
it appears to indicate a desire to keep
the baby away from the others. Father
is very rough when trying to get the
baby off his back. He leaps, shakes
himself and rubS against the sides Of
the cage. Baby was found clinging to
the cage bars after being pushed of
by father. It cried piteouSly until
rescued by mother. Baby now turns its
head in all directions. It's eyes follow
the movements of the other marmoSets.
1t is developing louder cry of hunger
and distress. This cry brings mother
to baby. Even father, when he hears
the cry, will take the little one to
mother for feeding. Baby makes no
effort to stand on its own legs. 1t is
hours daily.

mails are nearer to it, crawls over them

floor while clinging safely to the nurse
with its hands. 1t slaps playfully at
the others and grabs for speckS on the
floor.
Fourth week-Baby is encouraged to
stand on its feet by mother, who rolls
it off her own back quite gently. 1t
begins to crawl around, much to Biggio'S
worry. He soon invites it back to him
and even grabs it. Parents still nurse
and clean it. Baby will crawl several
inches to get on Biggio again. Baby
grooms itself more vigorously and is get
ting very playful with the other mar
mosets Baby nurses more frequently
and is encouraged to crawl around even
to the point of being deserted by all and
watched from a distance until its cries
of distress become too appealing and
some one comes to the rescue. Once
the writer tried to rescue the baby, left
hanging from the roof of the cage and
apparently in distress. She was bitten
by Biggio for her pains"
During the fifth week, according to
Miss Fitzgerald's diary, "babyr was learn
ing to eat solid food. During the sixth
week it was "very independent, explor-

acrobatic feats on the perches, but is very
reckless when leaping around, evidently
unable to measure distances properly.

Perfect Score.

From the St. Paul Daily News
All persons indicted by the Govern
ment in the Hamm kidnapping case are
now either dead, awaiting sentence or
serving time in Federal prison for their
crime.
Conviction of John Peiffer Saturday
as the finger man" in the case disposes
of the last of the defendants.
The G-men have made record which
stamps them as the greatest police Or
ganization in the world All credit to
j. Edgar Hoover and his able assistants.
The score would be perfect if further
evidence could be gathered to bring about
the indictment and conviction of any
member of the St. Paul Police Depart
ment who aided the gangsters. Sufficient
testimony was given in the Peiffer case
to indicate that a police tip-off system
was devised and carried out.
The Daily News hopes the Government
will not let that angle of the case drop.
While the long list of convictions in
the Hamm case is tribute to the eff
cheney of the Government investigating
and prosecuting forces, it is also appar-
ent that Federal court procedure is far
more efficient and businesslike than that
of the lower courts. This is partly due,
we believe, to the fact that the court,
rather than the attorneys, conducts the
examination of jurors.

Diamond Thrills.

Base ball appeals strongly to the
American public largely because of its
surprises. In every game there is the
possibility of drama, and the devotees
Of the sport are always hopeful of STIR
ring climaxes. Yesterday game in this
city between the Nationals and the
Boston Red Sox furnished such a thrill
for the home crowd, supplied it indeed
on two occasions, thus giving over
measure.
One of these moments came on the
side of the home defense. The bases
were loaded with enemy runners, the
score tied, nobody out. The coming
batters were men with high repute for
distance slugging. The game seemed
hopelessly lost. The first of these batters
popped a foul which the Washington
catcher caught at the edge of the boxes,
a stirring catch. Then came q mighty
batsman, holder Of home run records,
always dangerous. He smashed q

erounder to the third baseman, who
made a swift pickup and throw to
second, and with a relay to first double
play was the result-no runs!
So much for the defense. The game
ran into extra innings. In the tenth,
with Washington at bat. the tail end
of the batting order" was due to appear
at the plate To meet the situation a
relief pitcher was set to warming up, to
provide against the need of using pinch
hitter The first two men went out on
easy plays. The catcher, not an outstand-
ing hitter, was sent to the plate and to
everybody's surprise dropped a single
into center field. With the winning run
on first base and the pitcher up the
moment seemed to have arrived for
substitute batsman. The management
decided to take the slender chance Of a
hit by the pitcher, who had batting
average of about ITO, typical hurler's
record, on the theory that it was better
to leave him in the game and let the
contest 60 fol: another extra inning.
Then came the surprise and the big
thrill. The pitcher hit the first ball and
sent it on line to the barrier, clean
two-bagger, and the runner on first
scored standing up. The game was won.
First a rousing double play with the
bases loaded and then wholly unex-
pected and altogether improbable smash
that drove in the winning run. 1t was
base ball at its best-for the home crowd.
And it is always the home crowd that
most highly appreciates such a per-
Torrance. No wonder the game holds
the interest of the millions.

Price of Civil Turmoil.

An American woman's magazine, at
the outbreak of Armageddon in 1914,
printed a drawing which ought to be
remembered whenever nations are
tempted to resort to arms. The artist
had conceived war as sword, and he
represented the CORY blade transf1xing
such "intangibles" as science, art and
religion. No explanatory caption line
was needed. The lesson of the picture
was plain to all who had eyes to see.
Yet, pitifully enough, the cost of yio-
lence rarely is taken into account by
those who vainly think to settle political
differences or national rivalries on the
field of battle. History brims with exam
Piles of the iconoclastic mischief of the
military. 1t seems to be part of the
psychology of the professional soldier
to want to smash things. The legions
of Cromwell wrecked thousand
churches, destroyed unnumbered monu-
ments of the old faith; the Communists
of Paris in 1871 deliberately put the
torch to the most beautiful palaces of
the metropolis when they realized that
their cause was lost-it was said of them
that they desired to leave France some
thing to remember them by.
But the anarchy of the past should
serve to protect the present. Knowing
the risk, responsible leaders might be
presumed to be chary about taking
chances with treasures susceptible to no
replacement. Yet even the art-loving
Spaniards appear to forget the obliga-
ton which they owe to future genera
tions of their countrymen. The present
Iberian strife already has cost too much
in terms Of precious and lovely souvenirs
Of antiquity demolished. Towns like
valladolid and Segovia cannot be bombed
from the air without peril to their ca
thedrals, universities, museums, libraries
and private homes. When the world

Suppose some temporary advantage is
gained by one or the other of the con-
flicting parties: Is the profit worth the
cost? Spain, perhaps more than her
neighbors, has much to lose by civil tur-
moil. Civilization at large probably does
not care very greatly whether Loyalists
or rebels triumph, but it will mourn the
event which leaves even the tiniest
hamlet in ruins. Nothing won, 1t seems,
can be sufficient recompense for what is
being sacrificed-human life and the
fruits Of human genius and labor.

Can't Get Around Facts.
From the Sioux City Tribune.

From the Sioux City Tribune.
Japanese cotton buyers are now en-
gagged in making contracts for the entire
cotton output of Nicaragua, says a Mana
qua cable to the New York Times. They
are paying cents pound more than the
market price.
In turn, the Nicaraguans agree to ac-
cept payment in goods of Japanese
manufacture. The Nicaraguans recently
completed similar deal with Germany
on coffee.
Thus another slice of export trade is
taken away from the United tates. This
country does not buy cotton from Mica
ragua because it is not needed here. On
the contrary, we have cotton to export.
But we cannot export cotton or any,
thing else in competitive market where
the cards are stacked against us through
exchange and where payment is made
with goods
Our manufacturers do not want Japa-
enes textiles to come in, therefore Japan
buys where she can SELL Facts are facts
and we can't get around them. The laws
OF trade are inexorable. They cannot be
nullified by man-made laws.
