Back Home Again They return today, the men who journeyed to Kansas City from Indiana under the leadership of Senator James Eli Watson. They have performed a great public service in that they have demonstrated most completely that their claim to being Republicans or representing Republican sentiment or ideals is false. They have a machine—but it is no longer a Republican machine except in name. They refused, even after his nomination, to indorse the candidacy of Herbert Hoover, which rather separates them from any national claims. The chairman, Elza Rogers, under the hypnotism of Watson, announced in advance that lie did not believe Hoover rfould carry Indiana —which meant, of course, that his organization would not try. That ought to call for action. The “farmers’ ’’ parade, according to the Associated Press, was led by three of the Indiana prohibition agents, chief of whom was Jack Maroney, the only man admitted to see Stephenson after the former dragon had declared that he would produce proof of political corruption. Inasmuch as these fake farmers receive their jobs from Senators Watson and Robinson, it is to be presumed that they acted with the full consent and approval and perhaps orders of these two men. The candidate for Governor, Harry Leslie, was reported to be working in full accord with the Watson program. The candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Ed Bush, made himself conspicuous by waving a British flag and denouncing the presidential candidate. Governor Ed Jackson, lonesome delegate, contributed his share to the excursion by journeying to Leavenworth, a few miles away, to console Clyde Walb. The conduct, activities and purposes of the Watson machine have released the real Reaspublicans of the State from any consideration of party loyalty to their State candidates. The great rank and file of the Republican party, who know how often they have been betrayed and humiliated, will readily grasp the situation. In State affairs they know that the decency for which Herbert Hoover stands in hhe Nation is to be found in Indiana under the standard of Frank Dailey. Party labels this year in Indiana are meaningless.

The Platform Oh, for the time to come when, just to be interesting, if for no other reason, the minority report will become the majority! Minorities are always interesting. The real punch in the Republican convention platform session came when young Bob La Follette appeared. It was v.he first oratorical thrill of the convention. His presentation of the minority report was masterly. But that minority report, which should be read at leisure by every student of current politics, was voted down. Now as to the majority document. Political platforms traditionally are expected to ti lk much, but say nothing on controversial issues. The one offered by the Republicans in Kansas City runs true to form, with a few pleasing exceptions. Regarding labor it does speak up. It admits abuse of injunctions. About war, it does commit itself to the principle of drafting wealth as well as men. It is unequivocal on debt cancellation. It is forceful and rather direct on home rule. Its declaration on public economy in the main is justified, for President Coolidge’s best service to the Nation has been in restraint both on needless appropriations and on too liberal tax reduction. In that connection, However, it should not be overlooked that there has been an accompanying tendency to shift the tax burden from the wealthy to the poor,, a tendency which has been partially prevented by progressives of both parties. Beyond those few bright spots, there is the usual fog of evasive words. The corruption plank is a clumsy effort to claim credit for prosecutions that were forced by liberal insurgents and Democrats. The same for the plank on campaign expenditures. The foreign relations section “works both sides of the street.” It points with pride at what has been going on in Nicaragua and Haytl, and in the next breath says: “The Republican party maintains the traditional American policy of noninterference in the political affairs of other nations.” A sparkling jewel of inconsistency calculated to (dazzle and blind the voter. The two most disputed questions of the day are prohibition and farm relief. The prohibition plank is old stuff, dressed in new words. It favors law enforcement, as has every plank on the subject presented by both political parties since prohibition went on the statute books. The prohibition issues is not faced. But nobody expected it would be. Just another case of the song being ended, with the melody lingering on. As for the farmer, he is patted on the back, as he has been since the first platform was born. He is fed with language. He is told what a great help to him is the tariff. And for good measure he is rejninded that he has rural free delivery. But after all, what matters most, is not words, but deeds. And deeds depend on leaders. Given a man capable of meeting the Nation’s problems as they arise day by day—and wise government is assured. We reassert our belief that Hoover is such a man that he will rise above his party as a few of our President’s have, and that his works svill be mightier than his party’s creed.

Comment On Nomination

Editorial cornmort In representative American newspapers on the nomination of Herbert Hoover by the Republican national convention follows: NEW YORK TELEGRAM—This Scripps-Howard newspaper and its twenty-five independent liberal associates led the journalistic support for Hoover, Today, we congratulate both the candidate and .the country on this victory. NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE—Mr. Hoover need fear no adversary. All the essentials to Republican success this year have been furnished to a superlative measure at the Kansas City convention. NEW YORK TlMES—Before November comes Hoover will have virtually a united party behind him. All this makes him a redoubtable candidate. For the Democratic party to hold him lightly would be an inexcusable blunder. NEW YORK EVENING WORLD—WaII Street presently will perk up and proclaim Mr. Hoover the natural and ideal heir to the Coolidge policies. The Democratic party has a large-sized job cut out for it to measure up to its candidate and give him the backing he needs to beat Mr. Hoover. WASHINGTON POST—Upon all questions except farm relief the Republican platform seems to be a well-constructed statement of party doctrine. At present it appears that the Republican party will enter the campaign with a candidate who, while posrsesssing many elements of strength, is handicapped by a platform unacceptable to an important section of the pferty. OHIO STATE JOURNAL—Mr. Hoover does not owe his nomination to the favor of the Pennsylvania and New York delegations, but to his demonstration of superior strength among the candidates which made the support of these great delegations expedient and almost inevitable. . CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALERr—The nomination of Mr. Hoover is a circumstance wtyich invites new confidence in democratic government. He brings character and promise to the Republican ticket. His election would bring to the presidency one whose horizon of sympathy and understanding is world wide. ALBANY KNICKERBOCKER PRESS—The Republican party hSS'a valuable asset in its candidate for President. It may be that in some respects Hoover lacks something in personal attributes of candidatorial appeal. . . .We need not be greatly concerned with that. It is our judgment Hoover will grow and grow steadily from this day to the end of the campaign. HARTFORD COURANT—It is not a magnetic personality that the Republicans have nominated. . . . What they have done is give the seal of their approval to a man who probably has better all-round qualifications for the presidency than any other man they possibly could have named. NEW HAVEN TIMES-UNION—Mr. Hoover is not a poisy man at any time or under any circumstances, but he works day and night when he has work to do. He is the best organizer in the country and the best vote-getter in the Republican party (Mr. Coolidge excepted). CHICAGO DAILY NEWB—The Republican national convention has nominated for President a strong and able man, a man essentially open-minded, constructive and a man of vision and wide experience. Apparently he is the true and lawful heir of the Coolidge policies. SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE—Herbert Hoover goes before the voters of the Nation the choice of the rank and file of the Republican party. He has been nominated by the men and women' at large of the party because they believe in him and want him and for no other reason. PORTLAND (ORE.) NEWS—The rank and file of the Republican party wanted Hoover. The convention was wise to nominate him, for he is the only man who can compete with A1 Smith. ST. LOUIS STAR—The United States knows Hoover only as an efficient executive—perhaps the most efficient manager of big propositions this Nation has yet produced. . . . What the country now wants to know is, who is Herbert Hoover and what does and will he stand for in government? ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—The nomination of Herbert Hoover caps an amazing record of success in varied fields. What are his political principles? What is his attitude toward privilege and plutocratic control of Government? His own attitude . . . will determine his fitness. Hoover, the logical man of his party, is the RepubHoover, the logical man of his party, isthe Republican candidate for President. His nomination was a triumph of popular will over back-room politics.

They Lived by the Stars I No. 78 • THE constellation which we call the Great Dipper is a part of a much older and larger constellation known to ancients as the Great Bear. This fact accounts for the Arabic names of the four stars which comprise the bowl of what we call the dipper. These four, starting with the place where the handle joins the dipper of the bowl and going around the bowl in a semi-

bear’s tail.” Phecda (pronounced fek-da) also has a yellow tinge. Phecda means “the thigh of the bear.” Merak (pronounced mee-rak) is a beautiful white star with a slightly greenish tinge. The name means “the loin of the bear.” Dudhe (pronounced du-bee) is yellow in color. The name means simply “the bear.” * The reader will notice that there is no great consistency in the names of the seven stars of the Big Dipper—eight stars if you count in little Alcor. This is quite natural because the names do not represent the outcome of any carefully considered plan. The stars were given different names in different localities at different times. The names we know today are merely those which have survived the passage of time and come down to us. } It is difficult for us, living in great cities, to realize how much the stars meant to the Arabs. But as Ai ißiruni, an Arab author, wrote in about the year 1000 A. D.: “He whose roof is heaven, who has no other cover, over whom the stars continually rise and set in one and the same course, snakes the beginning of his affairs and his knowledge of time depend upon them.” And as Ilderin told Ben Hur at the Orchard of Palms: “Thou canst not know how much we Arabs' depend upon the stars. We borrow their names in gratitude and give them in love.” Perhaps the- stars can never mean as much to us as they did to the Arabs. But with a little study and acquaintance, we too, can feel that the stars are our friends. Learn the names of the Big Dipper by heart. You will be surprised to find out how much more the dipper means to you then.

M. E.' TRACY SAYS: “The Convention Leaves Sore Spots, of Course, hut Not to Any Such Extent as JFas Feared by Some Republican Leaders, or IFa-s Hoped, for by the Democrats.”

THE ninteenth Republican national convention is history'. It was a good convention, as conventions go, and typically Republican in its clocklike precision. The result is a well balanced ticket from the standpoint of political expediency and a platform that is absolutely harmless. Looking backward, one is impressed with the idea tnat the program was made out before the convention assembled, and that nothing happened, but that those in charge were careful to preserve the element of suspense. The surprise part of the plot is to be found in the general result, rather than in any detail. One week ago a certain group of bankers in Wall Street, a certain group of professional farm relievers in the Middle West, and a large number of ‘'practical” politicians were willing to bet that Hoover could not possibly be nominated. Now they are wondering how it happened. It happened because for once in their lives Republican leaders had sense enough not to defy the wishes of the rank and file of the party. One reason why the rank and file of the party was for Hoover was because the bankers, the professional farm relievers and the '“practical” politicians were so sure he could not be nominated. That in itself was enough to make him popular with the rank and file and those leaders who had sense enough to be not too “practical" realized it. a u tt Mellon Ruled Parley If the show were staged by any single one of them more than another, it would be by Uncle Andrew Mellon. Uncle would be the first to deny such a charge, but what is the use? Is he not the man who swung the Pennsylvania delegation into line, even if Vare did speak out of turn and steal a curtain call. Was he not the man who suntered over to the Illinois section after Lowden withdrew and helped corral twenty-four Hoover votes from that State, and was he not the man in whose room the conference was held that virtually assured the nomination of Senator Curtis for the vice presidency? B B tt Cut and Dried Before Without reflecting in any way on seemed to prevail, or on the cut and the appearance of fairness which dried courtesy with which the convention listened to the speeches of a helpless opposition it is only common sense to assume that the steam roller could not have functioned so smoothly without having been well greased and prepared beforehand. Those in charge obviously knew what they could do and just how to do it before the gavel was placed in the temporary chairman’s hands—knew that Coolidge would not be a candidate —the McNary-Haugen bill would be disapproved—that Senator Boi ih would be permitted to lncori orate a dry plank in the platform and that Herbert Hoover would be nominated. The one thing they did not know, perhaps was that Senator Curtis was to be nominated for the Vice Presidency, but that was too palpably in accord w'ith good political strategy to cause much doubt when the time came. tt a tt Sore Spots Healing The convention leaves sore spots, of course, but not to any such extent as was feared by some Republican leaders, or as was hoped for by the Democrats. The possibility of a third party, or even a serious defection has about vanished. What ever else it may have accomplished, the Republican national convention has virtually reduced the element of doubt in this convention to those independent voters who can „ only be reached and moved by a constructive program. There are enough of them to determine the result, but the Republican party, with all its scandal and corruption, with its blah-blah platforms and its defiance of the farm bloc, has not aliented a sufficient number to guarantee the Democrats a majority, or anything like it. Neither is the ticekt it has nominated, with Secretary Hoover for President and Senator Curtis for Vice President, a weak one. The Democratic party faces no easy task. It will have to earn the right to win if It wins, will have to offer the American people something not only by way of a ticket, but a platform which is definitely and understandably superior. tt tt Concerned With Policies The Idea that three or four million votes which the Democratic party needs to win this election can be changed by wise cracks, clever stump work or campaign whoopa is sheer nonsense. So, too, is the idea, that they can be changed by historical criticisms of a Republican administration. The American people looking ahead, not backward, disgusted as they may feel toward the graft and corruption that have characterized the Republican administration, they are far more concerned with the general management of the country, with the policies to be adopted, with the program of economic development, with the solution of social, industrial and agcricultural problems. They are asking themselves not what the Republican party has failed to accomplish, but what the Democratic party can and will do to improve matters.

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. SO important is information as to proper diet that it is well to repeat five simple rules recently stated by I. Stewart in a consideration of dietetics. A-editable diet must: * 1. Contain the necessary constituents to produce a perfect food, viz., protein, carbohydrate, fat, water, salts, vitamins. The protein must be a good one, i. e., with the essential amino-acids. 2. Be well balanced; these constituents must be present’ in proper proportions. 3. Possess the correct caloric value. 4. Be digestible, suitably cooked and invitingly served. 5.

Your opening bid conveys a partial description of your hand that partner can use to excellent advantage. Suits in the order of their encouragement are as follows: 1. A minor suit. It encourages a no trump or another suit bid that may eventually lead to a game-go-ing declaration. It denies a sound major or sound no-trumper. 2. A no-trump. It encourages a major suit declaration. 3. A major suit. Offers least encouragement for a better declaration. From the foregoing and the previous articles we now may make the following observations: 1. Never bid a suit of less than four cards (a short suit.) 2. Never make an initial bid on less than two quick tricks. 3. To make an opening bid, third hand requires at least Yi quick trick more than first or second hand requires for an initial bid. 4. To make an opening bid, fourth hand requires at least one quick trick more than first or second hand requires for an initial bid. 5. In a no-trumper three suits must be stopped in any position, except when holding four quick tricks concentrated in two short sutis. 6. In a no-trumper a singleton less than the A is dangerous. 7. In an initial no-trumper a worthless doubleon is a weak spot, unless the hand is otherwise very strong. * 8. In third and fourth positions the danger of a worthless doubleon decreases. 9. Fourth hand should not open 4he bidding unless he can prevent opponents from making game should they capture the bid later. 10. The opening bid should be informatory and encouraging.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY Kansas city, June 16. A united Republican party started propositions today for what is expected to be one of the hardest campaign fights in its varied life. Hoover and Curtis constitute a strong ticket in the opinion of most political leaders and press observers. The wounds of battle and bitterness of the pre-convention campaign are healing rapidly, it Is believed. The threatened party split over the farm relief issue and Mc-Nary-Haugenism has not yet materialized though the issue remains acute. But the shadow of Alfred E. Smith haunts the Republican politicians. Desepite the strong G. O. P. ticket and the unexpected evidences of party unity, they realize that the prpular Governor of New York State and probable Democratic candidate will be harder to beat than any opponent since Woodrow Wilson at the height of his power. Hoover, however, stands a better chance of preventing the Democrats from capturing Washington than any other of the avowed or darjf horse aspirants who might have been nominated by the- Kanssa City convention, it is now generally agreed. tt B tt ''T'HIS widespread belief is rather ■*- surprising—at least to the public—in view of the statements of many western and some eastern politicians before the convention that Hoover could not be elected because of the farm '“revolt” and hostility of New York financial interests. That “defeatist” propaganda by Hoover’s competitors for the nomination did not differ in kind, however, but only in intensity from the customary pre-convention knifing of candidates by each other. Most of this anti-Hoover propaganda was so extreme that it was discounted—as the convention results showed—by the overwhelming majority. Therefore it will tend to be forgotten and ignored before the voters go to the polls in November. But not all of the defeatist propaganda can be undone so easily. Particularly the shrill cries of the hostile political bosses day In and day out that Hoover is un-American and pro-British, probably will echo across the intervening months until election. This kind of charge which Is ignored as “dirty” and unjust by informed persons, lingers in the ears of certain anti-British communities and classes, and will doubtless continue to plague the Republican politicians who now will try to silence the slur. BUM T)ART of the defeatist propaganda against Hoover, however, was and is sincere. Opposition of the farm sections to the so-called Coolidge-Hoover agricultural policy is genuine and widespread. Just as there was an over-emphasis of this fact as a political factor by Hoover’s enemies before the convention, there is now apt to be an under-estimate of the significance of this farm discontent. Because the farm States were not able to unite on another candidate to stop Hoover, and because the publicity regarding a 100,000 farmers’ crusade storming the convention was defeated by the appearance here of only 500 does not mean that the farmers are satisfied. Far from it. Hoover's nomination and the compromise platform plank on agriculture have enraged many farm leaders, and many farmers who were too busy in the fields to come to Kansas City to make their protest heard. This is a definite menace to Republican victory in a few “border” States like Missouri and Oklahoma, and in “key” States such as Indiana. Whether this liability will grow depends in part on whether Hoover makes more definite pledges for farm relief during the campaign and especially whether he presents a program mor effective than the platform plank. Hoover has much In his favor if he sets out to win farm support with a constructive legislative pledge and program, because as a result of the Kansas City convention the farmers are now without a national political leader. tt B B HOOVER is aided tremendously by the fact that dirt farmers in many sections are coming to doubt both the wisdom and sincerity of the Dawes-Lowden-Watson sort of leadership, which made farm distress a partisan issue for the profit of those politicians without getting results for the farmers. It was clear before the convention, and undisputably now, that the farmers are not set on the Mc-Nary-Haugen “equalization fee" which is opposed by Coolidge and Hoover as fallacious and unconstitutional. The farmers are just as anxious to take any other kind of panacea which promised quick and partial relief. They demand, and probably will continue to demand with increasing force if necessary, that agriculture be protected equally with industry. But they are not particular how such parity is achieved. Hoover already has proved that he recognizes the justice and expediency of heeding this farm cry. He has just accepted as a running mate the farm politician, Senator Curtis of Kansas, despite Curtis’ sweeping attack on Hoover on the eve of the convention. But the farmers say this gesture will not be enough unless it is followed by something more definite.
