Hoover, G. 0. P. Scandal, Prohibition Recently there appeared in a Scripps-Howard newspaper, the New York Telegram, a straightforward letter containing an inquiry which merits an equally straightforward answer. The letter follows: Editor New York Telegram: I believe it the intention of the New York Telegram and other Scripps-Howard newspapers to support Herbert Hoover in the coming electioh, thereby aiding and supporting the G. O. P.—the party of the worst deal in the history of the United States —the Teapot Dome scandal—the party of Florence Knapp, and last, but not least, the party of Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania, the vote buyers. If the Republican party inserts a' bone dry plank in its platform, which it indicates it will do, do you still intend to support that party, representing as you do. a majority of wet readers, and yourself voicing anti-Volstead views from time to time? I am sure a clear answer to the above would be appreciated by a good many of your readers, because I would be the last one to accuse your newspapers of double dealing. CHARLES E. YOEKEL, 16 E. 208th St., New York City. At least a partial answer to the first paragraph of the letter was contained in the action of The Times and the other Scripps-Howard newspapers in indorsing the man, Hoover, rather than his party, as was evidenced by our announced intentions to support A1 Smith, or a man of his type, rather than any other Republican candidate so far mentioned. Scripps-Howard newspapers are under no obligations to and offer no allegiance to any political party. They are neither for nor against any party. They accept party organization as a necessary instrument of a democratic form of government. Nothing more, In this, they feel that they are in accord with the most progressive element of the country. Whenever a party becomes corrupt or impotent, correction may be obtained in one of two ways reform from within, or reform from without, through the organization of a third party. Success of a third party, however, would not destroy the two-party system. It merely would mean that one party had died and another had taken its place. Given the right direction, reform from within is much more certain of accomplishment, and much speedier than reform from without, through the third party method. Roosevelt, at the top of his effectiveness, towered above and dominated his party; refocused its ideals and rededicated it to public service. Wilson, in 1914, checked the Democratic party’s drift toward oblivion and reconsecrated it to the principles of Jeffersonian democracy. It is most certainly true, as the writer of the letter says, that Hoover's party has been besmirched with corruption, crude oil, and the cruder tactics of Teapot Dome. The fact remains that no speck of this scandal has touched Hoover and the further fact remains that his record of public service has been such as to justify the belief that, if nominated, he will drive the political jackals of his party to cover as certainly as did Roosevelt and Wilson. As regards the wet and dry issue: Graver issues, more far-reaching in their potential effect on our peace and prosperity than prohibition, will press for settlement in the next four years. Economic problems, problems of foreign relations and foreign trade, which may determine our peace and our prosperity for the next two or three generations, are demanding solution. As yet, no man has been suggested to meet these demands, more qualified by training or more proven by performance than is Herbert Hoover. This paper believes that the Eighteenth amendment was ill considered legislation and (hat the Volstead act was a costly mistake. It believes that both should at least be modified. But it recognizes that millions of high-minded and patriotic citizens are not yet convinced of the failure of this legislation and do not yet believe, what we believe, namely, that prohibition has -hindered rather than promoted the cause of genuine temperance, on the desirability of which all normal people can unite. The remedy for the prohibition evil lies not in the hands of a President-elect, but in an awakened public. The most that the next President of the United States can be expected to do will be to free his party from the sinister influence of the paid lobbyists, wet or dry, meanwhile putting before the public the facts developed by the prohibition experiment, without regard to the relation of these facts to political expediency. This, we believe, Herbert Hoover will do and we believe, also, that A1 Smith would do it. This Business of PsychiatryNow that the Hickman trial is on the verge of being forever forgotten, it might pay us to consider, once more, the whole question of “expert testimony” in murder trials. In the Hickman trial we had two sets of psychiatrists, one called by the State, the other by the defense. The State experts unanimously declared that Hickman was sane; the defense experts unanimously contradicted them and said he was insane. To a layman, it would seem that there are only two possible deductions to be drawn. Either there are psychiatrists w’ho will testify to anything if they get paid for it, or whole science of psychiatry is so poorly developed that there are cases where it is utterly impossible to say whether a man is sane or insane. / Murder in Canada Canadian authorities, preparing to execute a young woman for murder, are reported highly surprised at the wave of protest rising from the United States. They simply don’t understand, that's all. They dOiYt realize that one of the inalienable rights of the free-born American citizen is to put his murderesses on a pedestal; to be soft-hearted about when they get arrested; to acquit them, in 99 cases out of 100, and to shed many mawkish tears over the 100th who chances to get her just deserts. Apparently the Canadians don’t do it that way. Is it possible that their legal machinery grinds smoothly without being oiled by sentiment? A fish has been discovered that w'alks in Montana. Probably he never has been to an automobile ■how. Mussolini has sent over a “minister to Chicago.” Well, something had to be done about that town.

What Is a Radical? It is becoming increasingly important that the public be given an intelligent definition of the term “radical” as applied to those who discuss or write about human relations. Emerson said a radical is a young conservative and conservative is an old radical. That isn’t hard to understand, because all of us know the different attitudes of Youth and Age toward life and its problems. . Youth starts in with optimism and ideals; and with some illusions, of course. Age, with all life's experiences back of it, becomes conservative from various reasons, and among other things has lost its illusions as well as its idealism and pep. But nowadays, the term radical often is used as an epithet. If one takes an interest in the poor, it he doesn't worship things as they are, if he demands better social conditions as a legitimate part of progress, if he wants a more equitable distribution of the product of industry—really, if he wants any change that he may think is for the better—he is at once tagged a “radical.” Now and then somebody who insists that the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution actually be protected for ALL citizens, there are those who call him a “radical.” As the word often is used it would be fair to say that with many of us a radical is anybody v ’ o doesn’t, believe as we believe, and who doesn't conduct himself as we would like to have him conduct himself. As it isn't safe for our own comfort to throw a brick or cobble-stone at him, we hurl an epithet. We call him names. Not many years ago the pet term of reproach was “socialist.” but as the Socialists grew conservative and didn't blow up buildings or kill those who didn't divide up with them, the term lost its scoriating effect and wc turned to “Bolshevik.” Now they are wearing out that word, because they can't giv| it any particular or intelligible meaning. But the old standby, “radical,” we have always with us. We find it on conservative lips, In conservative newspaper headlines and all over the place. But, what does it mean? What is a radical? Popular Idols Charlie Paddock, sprinter, writing in McClure's Magazine, explains why it is that Finland, a small nation wrapped in ice and snow for the greater part of the year, is able consistently to produce such marvelous distance runners. He gives all the credit to Hannes Kolehmaincn, who became the idol of the country by his sensational victories several years ago. Kolehmaincn was emulated by every young man in Finland; he gave his time to teaching boys how to run; and today Finland has many great runners. A popular idol is a good thing for a country. Lindbergh, in America, is stirring young men to new achievements in aviation. If we are pre-eminent in aviation half a dozen years from now, Lindbergh can take much of the credit. One cn the Brewers Andrew J. Volstead, writing to the Women's Christion Temperance Union, reveals that the famous “one-half of one per cent” as the dividing line between intoxicating and non-intoxicating drinks, was fixed, not only by prohibition workers, but by the brewers themselves. Before prohibition, he says, the brewers who were compelled to pay a license took the matter up with the Treasury Department and suggested that all beer containing one-half of one per cent of alcohol should be treated as intoxicating. This was done, and thus a standard already existed when the prohibition law came into effect. It is rather humorous that this standard should have been fixed by the brewers themselves. But somehow it isn't surprising. Throughout the long fight for prohibition, the Anti-Saloon League's best ally was the liquor trade. There are roughly 30.000.000 automobiles in America now, says a statistician. A young man should ponder well the legal profession these days.

Ford Sees Good Cheer

BY BRUCE CATTON

Henry Ford, whose roaring factories don't keep him too busy to cast a roving eye over the state of the nation every so often, thinks that America has a very rosy future. In a recently published interview, Ford looks ahead and sees nothing but that which is good. He foresees men living longer lives, and filling them with more happiness and achievement than they know now. He sees a steady growth in the use of machines: in fact, he believes that machinery has accomplished and is accomplishing that which preaching and fighting have failed to accomplish. He brands himself as America’s greatest optimist. This is a refreshing thing to hear in this day when magazines and newspapers and pulpits are filled with prophets of despair. It is good to be told that our machine civilization is not a relentless juggernaut, but a potent friend. It is comforting to be told that the clever young men who write our novels are looking at the American scene through the wrong end of the telescope. We need more of it. It is time we awoke to the fact that wc are standing on the threshold of the greatest age the world has ever seen. History seems to proceed in waves. There are recurring periods of preparation, confusing and sometimes terrifying to those who are living in them; and then, all of a sudden, mankind discovers that it has topped another long rise, and that a magnificent prospect is spread out before it. Such a time came in the Elizabethan age. Anew world had been discovered beyond the ocean. The most fantastic tales could be believed; Raleigh sailed to find a city made all of gold, and no man doubted that it was there. Doughty Spaniards toiled through American wildernesses. hunting fountains of youth, hidden kingdoms of emeralds and gold, fabulous kings whose very slaves lived in houses more valuable than the palaces of Europe. Men's hearts were lifted up; the age of hope was reborn. Our situation is like that. We, too. are being shown golden cities just over the horizon. We, too, believe fabulous tales—tales of new machines that will fiec us from toil, tales of inventions that will lengthen our lives, tales of science that will banish disease. Wc see the ancient enemies, poverty and ignorance, placed on the defensive for the first time in history. There is in this country a literature of despair, it is out of place, and it will pass like a morning mist before the sun. Never before was there such an age of hope. Never before were mans horizons being so extended. Our prophets arc not our Menckens, but our Fords. Our wildest dreams will presently come true. We are on the threshold of the Golden Age.

The name and address o t the author must accompany every contribution, but on request will not be published. letters not exceeding 200 words will receive preference. To the Editor: I believe that all laws should be obeyed. If not just, then they should be repealed. All laws are not just. Law is a rule of action prescribed by a superior to be obeyed by an inferior. I believe in temperance, but I do not approve of the methods some of the dry enforcement officers resort to in trying to enforce it. In The Times. Dec. 7, there was a statement that Calvin Steavens. proprietor of a restaurant at Swectser. Ind., obtained liquor to accommodate a good -customer of his place, lie declared in Federal Court, where he faces a charge of violating the prohibition law. The “good customer” was Edward Steinberger of Indianapolis, hired by a Grant Cotinty merchant to get evidence against dry law breakers.. Now I claim that Steinberger and the merchant who hired him arc equally guilty with him. The same methods were used in Muncie. and in almost every paper you read of an almost similar case. A short time ago a case was called to trial and the witnesses had drank up the evidence, and it had to be dismissed. If you hire any one to commit a murder you arc equally guilty with him. so it should be in other law violations. Others seem to think such methods are all right and never lift voice against it. But I do not believe that when an officer is sworn to uphold the law lie is privileged to break it. A CONSTANT READER. To the Editor: Relative to the flood prevention legislation now before Congress, permit a suggestion for such protection, without draining the people's pocket, provided the engineering features can be worked out. Build a comprehensive levee system along both sides of the natural spillways, such as the Mississippi and tributaries. Let the top of the main lines be hard-surfaced roads. Construction costs eventually could be taken care of by moderaate road and waterway tolls. Bonds could be sold for immediate provision of funds. The roads and waterways ultimately would become free highways, or practically so. The surveys and engineering work would be done at Government expense. This great road and waterwav system would be of more benefit to tiie now floodable lands than flood prevention alone possibly could be. Sucli a plan would provide just what the floodable districts need—good roads—which can not exist under flood conditions. The work would also provide useful employment for the growing army of the unemployed, and reduce crime. Today, through highly organized productions systems, manufactured goods are made with half the labor of ten years ago. Another decade will reduce the pro rata consumption of labor still further. When farming becomes as highly organized, it will see a large labor reduction. Therefore, great public works are needed to provide employment and enable us to hold our own in world competition. The parkways provided by riverside roads soon would become famous arteries for the flangeless wheels of commerce and society. Napoleon B. was employment and road wise, and our own John D.’s probably would support such a movement. AL B. HALL. 155 W. Pratt St., City.

Nations Combine in Moorish Realm

A SPANISH chieftain, -Count Julian, having (story said) sworn revenge on his king for seducing Julian's daughter, aided the Moorish general at every step and guided him to victory. The Saracens (for the name, with j so many others, had now been attached to the followers of the great prophet) landed in 711 A. D. on that gigantic rock which thenceforth was called, after the Moorish leader, Gcbel al Tank, the mountain of Tarik—and then, by gradual corruption, Gibraltar. On the plain of Xerxes the Spanish and Moslem armies met. and for a time the invading force, overwhelmed by numbers, seemed destined to their first defeat. "My brethren,” said Tarik. “the enemy is before you, the sea is behind; whither would ye fly?” The desperate Moors fought like men who count life a questionable boon; the Spaniards at last gave wav, and the victors, careless of their losses, and drunk with blood, pushed on over plain and “ihountain to the siege and conquest of Cordova, Granada and Seville. From the western end of Europe to the eastern end of Persia a dozen nations had been within a century united into one Moorish realm. Through all this territory* and later through the northern half of India, the religion of Allah and Mohammed ruled. It was in many ways a simple faith; its strict monotheism seemed reason itself by the side of the intricate Trititarianism that was entangling Europe in theological cobwebs and sectarian hate; and its priestless ritual of fasting and prayer was closer akin to primi-,

It recognized and encouraged the dominance of mail over woman, and sanctioned his custom of having a variety of wives and keeping them in the strict seclusion and discipline of the harem. No woman should go into the streets without her master's permission, or imveiled; no woman should ever show her face to any man except her father, her brothers, and her husband.

Outside the circle of the one true faith Mohammedanism exacted no impossible kindliness.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Conscience Not Only Serves the Individual as a Guide, but Affords Society Its Best Protection.”

Harry F. Sinclair has been sentenced to jail for contempt, which is all right, but a good many people believe he never will go there, which is all wrong. These people are helping Sinclair and his associates without real- [ izing it. i Lack of confidence in the law' is ! one of the lawbreaker's real assets. | It discourages judges, juries and other officials, while it enables defendants and high-priced lawyers to accomplish things that otherwise would be impossible. tt a tt Lost Reputation Whether Sinclair ever goes to jail, he has suffered. He has not only lost Teapot Dome, but millions of dollars. What is worse, he has lost a reputation he never can regain. Whether he escapes the two sentences of contempt which now stand against him. or is acquitted in the trial scheduled for April, Harry F. Sinclair never will be the man ha once was. Business associates may pat him on the back, but they never will respect or believe in him as in tha past. tt tt Jsr Big Men and Truth' Rumor says that Sinclair wouKt like to make a clean breast of it, and might but for Iris counsel. He has denied this, but it is ton natural and too human not to find favor with the public. Most people prefer to think that a big man will be big even if ho get* in trouble, and that he wilt not shrink from telling the truth, no matter how it hurts. They do not like to think that \ man can ever Income so big a* to outgrow conscience. However a man may evade the law he cannot evade his conscience. 1 Some of us have more conscience than others, but all of us have enough to point out a reasonably right path, and to condemn an obviously wrong act. nun Power of Conscience ] You behold conscience manifesto ing itself every day in the week. It was conscience that inspired James O'Neil to creep back to Montreal for the purpose of re-j turning that SBOO,OOO he made in the Continental deal. J It was conscience that persuaded former Secretary Fall’s son-in-lavi to tell a Senate committee w’hat htf refused to tell the court. It was conscience that drove the; murderer of Margaret Brown to wTite the New Jersey police a letter of confession. tt tt tt * % insanity as Defense - Here is another specimen for the | pschycoanalyists to study, for the i molly-coddles to coddle, for attor* ; neyism to defend and for sob sister* to “save,” if he his brought to book! The “human torch murder” they call it. which is descriptive, if not so pretty. It takes you back to Nero's gardens where pitch-smeared Christians are said to have lighted up the night. It is so far removed from the way we live and the things we hope for as to seem incredible. Insanity occurs to us as the only logical explanation because no one likes to believe that normal human beings could do such a thing. But insanity is no defense for society, and it shouldn't be a defense for murderers except to the extent of safeguarding them against vindictive punishment. tt u a Thrifty Murderer Insane or not, the murderer of Margaret Brown had a conscience and not only a conscience but a thrifty complex. If he was romantic, he also was shrewd. After striking the woman because she repelled his advances, as he claims, he stole her money, and after deciding to write a letter of confession and return the money, he did not fail to hold back some of it. He concludes the unsigned confession which he sent to the New Jersey police: “I have a good car and new tires and I am signing out, God knows where, to hell. I suppose.” That is conscience not only speaking with the voice of fear, but having the last word. tt tt tt Guarantee of Justice Conscience not only serves the individual as a guide, but affords society its best protection. Conscience, though an inherited faculty, depends a great deal on training. Our notions of right and wrong are chiefly what w’e have been taught. When you train your child in matters of conscience, you not only give him a reliable guide for his own actions, but you give society its strongest safeguard. Conscience inspires more people to do right than the law, and punishes more of those who do wrong. It is the one thing criminals cannot escape, judges overrule or governors pardon. In the final analysis, it is the ona guarantee oi anything approaching exact Justice we have. Had Rudolph Valentino finished making the picture, "The Son of the Sheik,” when he died? Yes. He was planning anew picture. w Ilow can newspaper clippings bo preserved? A good method is to mount them between two sheets of strong, thin transparent material such as silk or Japanese tissue. Bind the clippings together in some suitable manner with fasteners. This treatment is said to add strength to tho sheets and delays the chemical changes in the wood-pulp fiber of newsprint paper.
