fixing the Blame
In Cancer Deaths

! An old theory was that they @t,=
embryonal rests. thar is tt say: veIg
young cells which remsinad IL It
body in a prenatal condition :ultil
it was adult, and then suddenly ia
gan to grow. We must. az auy rate,
think of these cells as being ear
marked or tagged either BY hereu-
ity or in some other way. for sud
den growth from their very begin
ming. They are young and vigor
Gus. In the beginning, however,
they are all local. Later on they
get out into the lymph stream and
blood vessels of the body and begin
to grow at other places lmetas-
tases); when this happens. treat
ment is almost hopeless.
Irritation. as by an old fang of a
tooth or a broken pipe stem, may
start cells to grow.
Knowing these facts, we can I'M
derstand what treatment is reason
able. When the growth is localized,
surgery can remove it and the cells
which are disposed to grow are
taken away from the body. The
cells, being young, if left alone, will
overcome the more sluggish adult
cells of the rest of the body. But,
being young, they are sensitive to
destruction by agents thas will not
hurt adult cells except In large
doses.
The most reliable agent is the
peculiar ray that is given off from
radium or the x-ray machine. This
ray is selective and kills cancer
cells, leaving other cells alone.

MONDAY JULY l, 1910
THEY DON'T KNOW
HALF OF IT
{ New York Harold Tribune)

New York harold lrlOuhe)
Come, now, this won't do. Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Rohde, former Minister to Den
mark, speaking at the convention of the
Inland Empire Education association at
Spokane, Wash. says that Americas
gangsters, as portrayed in American mo-
ton pictures have pvt our diplomats
ION the spot" 1t is, she says, embarras-
sing for pictures of gunner and crime,
which we in America accept as fiction,
are regarded by Europeans as illustrat-
ing actual life in America.
Now, Mrs. Rohde, a moments reflec-
ton should be enough to convince any
one that the notion picture gangster,
far from being an exaggerated and rath-
er rare fictional character, is but pale,
anemic reflection of the real thing.
For example, this is the country in
which Brooklyn gunman sits in Sc
Guided hotel room and, cudgeling his
brain for long forgotten details, tells the
District Attorney how twenty men were
killed. And out of this investigation has
come roster of bizarre nicknameS the
like of which no scenario writer ever
dreamed. This is the country in which
some of the larger and more important
branches of labor organizations are con-
trolled either by gangsters or by men
with sordid criminal pasts, and rarely
is anything done about it. This is the
country in which poison-forprofit or
ganization, such as has been uncovered
in Philadelphia, can operate for years,
and take its victims by the dozens, be-
fore the law finds out about it. This is
the country in which hired trigger men,
fit from city to city in airplanes, the
better to execute their grisly missions.
This is the eountry-But why go on?
It's sad, and perhaps unfair, that for
eign peoples should be inclined to gener
alize about us when they see pictures
giving some intimation of this sort of
thing, but, after ALL we have let our
selves in for it, haven't we?

Bruce Cation in WASHINGTON
Disseets the News

The candidate might enjoy their
votes, but not the ability to turn
them over to anybody else.
Results of all this was that WIN
ming the nomination swiftly de-
veloped into a job of selling an
individual TO the delegates them
selves, rather than making deal
with one or two key figures.
This fact was the strength of the
Wendell Willkie campaign.
A word Or two ought to be said
about the campaign, as one of the
most adroiL, smooth expert bits OF
political promotion on record. 1t
was ideally designed for the pro-
bem the Willkie boom faced. be-
cause it was primarily a selling
job aimed DIT the rank and file
and selling job was exactly what
the situatiop called for.
But at The same time, Willkie
as a candidate undoubtedly faced
more sales resistance on the part
of the rank and file than any other
candidate. IT is probably fair to
say that when the convention open
ed a very large majority OF the
delegates dio not want Willkie.

With the presidential campaign al
ready well under way, 1t might not De
aniss for Americans TO remember now
and hold the memory before them our

as bad as it is painted during a national
political battle.
You'll hear during the next few weeks
that, if a Democrat is elected president,
the country will be invaded within six
weeks after he takes office.
You'll hear that if a Republican is
elected, the country will be a shambes
of warfare within fortnight.
You'll hear that ruin awaits the Unit
ed States unless the voters prove pre-
ponderantly Democratic. and that col
lapse is the inevitable lot of the country
unless the ballots are mainly Republican.
You'll hear that we're already as good
as in the war, and you'll hear that we
myyht as well be in ii as have a certain
candidate be elected. You'll hear that
the Democrats are ready to lay down
their lives for the British and that the
Republicans have sold out to Hitler.
And you'll meet a lot of people who
believe implicitly in one or another OF
these reports.
But. worst of all, You will be subject

4 DIsTRACTING PROPOSAL
(Palo Alto Times)

President Roosevelts almost psyche
pathic urge for springing surprises must
have its outlet even in emergency times.
Hence his proposal for establishing "some
form" of universal government service
for all young people, to include military
drill possibly behind-lines technical work,
industrial experience and some training
in lines pertaining to conversation of ma
tional resources.
The plan would be continued until the
world returns to sanity" an administra-
ton spokesman said.
The latter remark was evidently de-
signed to delude people into acceptance
of the notion that this scheme is part of
the current emergency defense. But 1t
is no part of such defense.
Instead, this proposal can but have the
effect of diStracting attention from the
more Immediately pressing and impor-
tant cause.
Universal military training as part of
regular public school education would
be far more effective, economical and
satisfactory course than the fascistic
plan proposed by the President. The
military training would mean no addi-
ton to the length of youths educational
period, and means no ObstruSive Interrupt
ton in their personal vocational prog
reSS.

SELLING REARMAMENT
TO the PEOPLE

One of the first steps along the way to
a common sense consideration of events
in Europe in their relation to the future
in this country must be the good-natured
realization that we in America have been
subjected to a national siege of high-pres-
sure craftsmanship during recent weeks.
There should be no malice toward the
statesmen. They sold us something we
have needed for long, long time. They
sold us something the nation needs as
badly as a man needs hands and feet.
They sold US national preparedness
They had to adopt high pressure meth
DDS because without such methods,
strong minority group would have fought
to the bitter end against preparedness.
that same strong minority kept us from
preparing in the years when re should
have taken the steps we are only now
taking. So craftsmanship, fast and fur
ious, was necessary.
But, for the love Of our country, let
US realize that it WAS craftsmanship
and let's not be over-sold. In salesman
ship, especially high pressure salesman
ship, a case is often overStated
Maybe that has been the case in esti-
mates of danger to this country.

PHILADELPHIA July StrangeSt
thing about this Republican. con-
vention was the important behind
the scenes part played by Raymond
Moley, first and most famous OF
the 1888 Roosevelt brain trusters.
Moley came here the day be-
fore the convention opened. His
Job was to help write Herbert
Hoover's high-powered speech on
foreign affairs.
On that speech hung two things
-Hoover's own hope OF getting back
into the White House, and the de-
termination Of the thick-and-thin
peace grouL that the Republican
party should swing sharply the
Roosevelt foreign policy.
1t was all planned on the defi-
mite belief that there would be a
deadlock which would leave the
principal contenders hog tied and
open the way for nomination OF
a dark horse. And it was Ray
mond M0ley who quietly slipped
over from New York to help put
the speech IN shape.
NOBODY IN POSITION
OF BOSS"
Another extremely important
angle to The plans which were
hung on This speech is the fact
that this particular Republican
convention was Embossed to the
point of confusion.
On the surface, the Set-up was
ideal for one Of those famous
"srloke filled room propositions

back and deciding who was to be
the nominee.
But there wasn't any boss in the
position 10 deliver really decisive
bloc OF votes to anybody. Any

sive here would have to be about
the size of the main cOncOurSe OF
the Union Station.
Most of The delegates came UNI

listed as sure for Dewey" or sure
for Taft" were men who had agreed
TO cast a certain unmber of votes
for givch candidate but who
were free as the air once they haC
