Forgotten Planks? Suggestions for ' the Houston convention from the Democratic platform of 1892: “The tendency to centralize all power at the Federal capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of the States that strikes at the very roots of our Government under the Constitution. “We denounce Republican protection as a fraud—a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. “We demand that rigid enforcement of laws made to prevent and control trusts and combinations, together with such further legislation in restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be neeessarv. “We view with alarm the tendenct’ to a pollicy of irritation and bluster liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. •" “We are opposed to all sumptuary laws as interference with the individual rights of the citizen.”

Hay, Kellogg and China China has asked Washington to recall the United States troops now stationed in that country. Washington should grant) the request. Not merely because China has made it, but because it obviously is the right thing to do. In the first paragraph of the very first article of the nine-power treaty of 1922. signed at Washington along with China, Britain, Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Belgium and Holland, we formally pledged ourselves “to respect the sovereignty, the independence and the territorial and administrative integrity of China,” and we should honor our signature. Keeping five or six thousand armed troops out there on a war footing, clearly violates that pledge. True, China has been waging civil war. But the war was a result of her efforts to achieve national unity and genuine statehood and certainly we have no right to interfere. China did not interfere with us, when we had our civil war, because some of her nationals owned laundries in Washington, Richmond and Atlanta. Nor did we send troops to Belgium or France in 1914 when thousands of American lives and millions of dollars worth of American property were imperiled by the onrushing Germans. To the contrary, we warned our nationals to clear out. . “It’s Europe’s war,” our State Department told them, “so get out of the way.” Now let’s give China a chance. For the third time in history relations have reached a turning point. The first was when the foreign powers were forcing territorial concessions from China at the point of a gun. We were offered cur share of the spoils and we refused. Again, in 1900, China was in danger of partition at the hands of the same old land-grabbers, and again the United States blocked the scheme. This was the second chance we had to go wrong, but went right. Now comes the third time. Once more our future in the Far East is in the balance. Once more the ! chance is given us to side with China and justice or with the exploiting powers who still hope for her dismemberment. Secretary of State John Hay wrote his name big in Oriental history by his decisions of thirty years ago. Secretary of State Kellogg can do the same thing now if he will. First we should recall our troops. Then we should begin negotiations to restore to China that complete “sovereignty, independence, territorial and administrative integrity,” which, by treaty, we have pledged our honor to respect but which, in reality, we and the other powers are violating. As in the case of Japan, it likely will take years to bring about China’s complete rehabilitation as mistress in her own house, but as much depends upon our attitude, we immediately should take the initiative with that in view. China’s salvation now, as in the past, depends largely upon Uncle Sam. iHere is an opportunity such as few statesmen encounter in a lifetime. Secretary Kellogg has a triple time before his retirement next March to reorientate our policy. To help put a nation of 400,000,000 grateWul people on its feet is a historic privilege. Incidentally the friendship of a fourth of the earth’s total population eminently is worth keeping for a trade-seeking country like ours.

Why Is the Democratic Party What does the Democratic party stand for? The country is waiting for the Houston convention to answer. By its platform the party will be known. This convention has an opportunity to speak frankly and clearly. Jefferson did not teeter astride a fence. Neither did Jackson. The platform of 1892 was definite. Democrats of old knew what they wanted. Laterly the Democrats have gone in for compromise platforms. They have sought the respectability of equivocation and neutrality. They get nowhere with such a spirit. For they are a minority party. To win they must fight greater numbers with superior brain and bravery. They must have audacity. Compromise is not their game. Republicans have mastered that. Houston may imitate the pussyfooting planks of Kansas City: but it can not compete. Imitations always are worse. With an advantage of several million votes, the Republicans can—or think they can—risk pledging little, and nullifying that little by generalities. The Democrats can’t. A conviction is growing in this country that there is no real difference between the two major parties. Former issues are shifting. Republicans become champions of State rights. Democrats flirt with high, protective tariff. No vital vote in Congress in a decade has divided on party lines. This is rjot a sign of less partisanship: the cross-party division is just as bitter. It is proof, rather, that legislation is left to the opinion of the delegated but uninstructed representatives; that citizens no longer get to vote on principles. Such is not the traditional American two-party system. It is not representative government of any kind.

That voters have an opportunity to choose honest and intelligent representatives is not enough. In a democracy the people not only pick the fiddler, but call the tune. Third parties, which became first parties, have arisen in the United States when an ageing or apeing second party failed to provide the healthy conflict of principles which is the life of progress. At Houston this party will reveal whether it is sterile, soon to be pushed aside by one more vigorous. If the Democratic party has anew birth of democracy it is safe. This country needs now the principles of Jefferson and Jackson more than ever. Historically the Democratic party has balanced the principle of property rights with the sanctity of human rights. What definite solution has the party of human rights to offer -for the immediate problems of farm relief, unemployment, prohibition, imperialism, power monopoly, Government engineering, civil liberties? The Democratic party probably will unite around a leader of integrity, of wisdom, of courage—Alfred E. Smith. Nc asked in his Jackson day message for a frank declaration of party program. This is both honest and. expedient. Why endanger a strong candidate with a weak platform? Nobile’s Return They’ve rescued General Nobile. Italy’s famous polar explorer, from his exile on a floating inland of ice in the Arctic ocean. But ill luck seems to stalk his expedition for all that. Just before the Swedish plane swooped to rescue his party, one of the General’s legs was broken, due to a moving jam of ice. And while preparations continue for the rescue of the remaining members of the wrecked dirigible Italia's crew, the search for Roald Amundsen, worldrenowned Norwegian explorer, goes on in vain. Flying from Norway to the island of Spitzbergen to join in the hunt for the then missing Nobile expedition, Amundsen has not been heard from up to this writing. His plane, it is feared, came down somewhere in the icy sea. Tragedy, however, is never very far from pioneers. Injury and death are often the price mankind must pay for the secrets they would rest from nature. But, be it said to their glory, they carry on just the same, paying the toll, when they must, with a smile. Our felicitations to General Mobile. We trust his injury soon will heal and that his companions will join him in safety before long. We hope, too, that news of Amundsen will arrive in time to add to the general thanksgiving.

Our American Mafia Db you remember the time, a few years ago. when we held up our hands in horror at the activities of the Mafia? The Mafia, you recall, was a secret society Sicily; it was outside the law and more powerful than the law. Sicilian peasants went to the Mafia for protection against robbers, for vengeance on their oppressors, for relief from banditry. We read of it and shuddered. Now we can read of Chicago, where the cleaners and dyers have been forced to employ A1 Capone, king of the gunmen, for protection against thugs. The law, apparently, could not help these men. To be able to conduct their business in peace they have had to enlist the aid of the underworld. Isn’t that a beautiful commentary on the condition of affairs in our second largest city? The Pullman porters have decided not to strike. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor gave them the tip. David Dietz on Rriwi— Jupiter Feared His Wife No. 85 1 THE love affairs of Jupiter, king of the gods, were connected with the constellation of the Great Bear by the ancient Greeks. The Greeks, it will be reihembered, believed that there were many gods whose home was on high Mt. Olympus. But they also believed that these gods frequently visited the earth and mingled with ordinary mortals and that they were swayed by the same passions and beset by the same temptations that affected ordinary man. Juno was the queen of the gods and the wife of Jupiter. The ancient Greeks pictured Juno as having a very jeal- _____

ous disposition. One isn’t surprised at that, for the ancient legends are full of Jupiter’s love affairs and how, as he wandered about the earth, he fell in love with this beautiful nymph or that beautiful princess. Among the nymphs with whom Jupiter fell in love, was

one named Callisto, the beautiful daughter of the king or Arcadia. Not unnaturally, Juno became exceedingly jealous. So to punish Callisto, Juno turned her into a bear. Jupiter, it seems, could do nothing. For though the Greek legends portray him as the king of the gods, they also give the impression that he was somewhat afraid of the wrath of his wife. The beautiful Callisto now led an unhappy life. She was afraid of all human beings and had to flee from them lest they kill her. But she also feared the wild animals. So she spent many lonely years fleeing from both mortals and animals. One day she spied a youth hunting. She recognized him as her own son, Areas., now grown to manhood. Forgetting herself, she rushed to embrace him. But Areas did not recognize her. He only saw a bear He raised his spear to kill her. He raised his spear to kell her. But at this point, so the legend tells, Jupiter intervened. He changed Areas also into a bear. Then he seized both bears by the tails and threw them into the sky. Callisto became the constellation of the Great Bear, while Areas became the constellation of the Little Bear. As Jupiter threw the bears into the sky, he whirled them about his head. This stretched their tails, according to the old legend, and that is why the Great Bear has such an unusually long tail. The Greek legend is only one of many about the Great Bear. Many other ancient peoples, including the American Indians, had legends about it. Bear by the ancinet Greeks. The Greeks, it will be

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M..E. TRACY SAYS: “Prohibition Has Made Falsehood a Characteristic of Our National Life for the First Time in History.’*

HOUSTON, June 25.—Like a writer in one of the local papers, I fail to see why liquor should be an issue here, since there seems to be plenty of it. From sources usually considered reliable, I am informed that th£ bootlegging fraternity is meeting the occasion with spirit, fairness and success. In spite of the heat, to which a majority of visitors are unaccustomed, one hears little complaint of thirst, and in spite of the obvious opportunity, there has been little growling about the price. According to a comprehensive report prepared by Dudley Davis for the Houston Press, champagne, which normally sells at SBO a case, has only advanced to SIOO, while Bacardi rum, various brands of whisky and apricot brandy have only risen from s6s<to $75. The same authority estimates that there are no less than 3,000 cases of imported liquor available, which should meet the needs of the expected 25.000 visitors nicely if the convention does not last too long. a a a ' Wet, Wet Everywhere Considering the important place prohibition has come to assume in Democratic politic.*:, especially during the last few days, such allegations, even though based on hearsay evidence, seem worth noting. They suggest that this issue is not so rectional as some would have us believe and that the much advertised dry sections are more a matter of sentiment than reality. It is true, perhaps, that liquor can be obtained easier in some places than in others, but by the testimony of an experienced multitude there are few places where it cannot be obtained. The prevailing opinion is that no one went dry against his will at Kansas City and that no one ne/ds to at Houston. Instead of libeling either town, such a condition only proves that they are in line with the great American parade. As the traveling public well knows, violation of the liquor law Is cne activity in which we have ceased to be local, provincial or sectional. There may be a difference between North and South with regard to. the Fifteenth Amendment, but there is no difference when it comes to the Eighteenth. The Eighteenth is touted and flouted with equal complaisancy on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. u n a Words, Not Practice I have no doubt that there are many sincere, drys in this country, but it is hard to believe that they are as numerous as the sincere wets. Even at Kansas City, where the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act received such unequivocal indorsement, there was a perceptible disparity between unofficial conduct and official words. Here at Houston, the proponents claim 411 votes. Taking their word for it, they represent a little more than one-third. The Democratic party, however, can not afford to antagonize that third, whence all the talk of a compromise. at a Minority Rules If this convention were allowed to vote as it honestly trainks, not to say as it honestly drinks, it would go for modification by nearly two to one. The trouble is that honest thinking is prevented by fear of what it might lose. Our old friend, “political expediencey,” once more places us at the mercy of a determined minority. Not only the Democratic party, but the entire Nation is compelled to dance to the music of a well-organized group which holds the balance of power because it has taught its followers to act Independently. You can say what you want to, but the Anti-Saloon League has given our veteran leaders not only a good trimming, but a good lesson In practical politics. It has put itself In a position to whip either of the two big parties at any moment. The Republicans yielded to its dictation without protest. The Democrats are making a big fuss, but will probably shrink from open rebellion. a a a The World Laughs Even Governor Smith and his supporters would hesitate to indorse an out-and-out modification plank in the Democratic platform, although they honestly want it. It is startling to think where we have arrived in this country startling to contemplate the hypocrisy we not only practice, but justify. You just can not reconcile the way we are handling this prohibition question with old-fashioned American principles. It does not square with the doctrines of our fathers. If they emphasized one ideal more than another it was the wisdom of being truthful and straight-forward. They may have had their weaknesses, but pussyfooting was not one of them. Prohibition has not done much for temperance, but it has done a lot for lying and deceit and it has done it in high places. It has brought millions of people to a place where they are scared to tell the truth publicly. It has made falsehood a characteristic of our national life for the first time in history. The rest of the world laughs at us, and we have no choice but to take it. The false pride which prevents us from admitting a tragic blunder is causing us all sorts of humiliation. Worse than that, it is eating into the vitals of our character. We are not only living a lie, but we are beginning to like it.

Blood Theory Called Basis Medicine

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hriceta. the Health Magazine IN 1628 William Harvey published a book called "De Motu Cordis,” characterized by many today as the starting point of modern medicine. True, the ancients knew that the blood moved, but they had various theories as to its motion. One thought that it swished backward and forward, None of them conceived the ac'tual circulation of the blood propelled by the heart to the farthest portion of the body and then returned by the veins to the heart and

Bridge Play Made Easy BY W. W. WENTWORTH

(Abbreviation*: A—ace: K—kin*; Q—queen: J—jack; X—any card lower than 10.) PLAYERS often are told tc follow certain rules wi|hout Question. At first these may be followed regardless of whether or not you know the reasons, but, as you progress, you should become familiar with the whys and wherefores. For every rule, for every principle enunciated, there must be some mathematical reason. It must be based on the law of average probabilities; if not, it is not a sound rule. When you are told you must bid or play a certain way, always demand the logic underlying it. In this manner you will develop sound bridge reasoning that will be of aid to you at every turn. Let guides assist you during the formative period, but let your constant aim be to develop reason rather than rote. However, regardless of how undesirable the use of guides may be, they are, nevertheless, a thousandfold more reliable than “hunches” ever can be. The aim of the player should be to develop a bridge instinct —to know the right thing to do at the right time. Until you develop this power, use the guides that have been suggested, generally appr6ved and found sound in actual play. As an illustration, the player ,is always told, “Do not bid a no trump unless three suits are stopped,” and “Do not bid a no trump if the hand contains a singleton.” Let us examine into the whys and wherefors of these rules. In a no trump the highest card take the tricks. If the declarer holds: Spades A K Q J Hearts A K Q Diamonds A K Q Clubs A K Q the declarer must take every trick, if the game be played at no trump. The probabilities of holding such a hand are extremely remote. If the declarer holds: Spades AKQJ 10 98765 Hearts A Diamonds A Clubs A the declarer must also take every trick at no trump. If the declarer holds: „ „ Spades AKQJ 10 98765 4 Hearts A Diamonds A Clubs None the probabilities are at least, two to one against him that the opponents control the club suit and they may make all the club tricks before he can make a trick in the other suits. It therefore follows that you should never bid a no trurnp if you blank of a suit, because the probabilities are against you. If you hold a singleton of less value than the A in one of the suits, the probabilities also are against you. Even if you hold two cards (called a doubleton) of less value than Q X, and your opponents hold the remaining high cards, the probabilities are that they will make their tricks in your worthless suit before you can establish one of your strong suits.

passed through the lungs so that it might again have oxygen. One of the early investigators believed that it was the purpose of the valves in the veins to keep the blood from flowing too rapidly from the heart to the distant parts of the body. We now know that the blood does not flow from the heart into the veins, but only into the arteries and that it is collected by the veins and returned to the heart. • Harvey reasoned this fact out because he says that if the obstruction brought about by the valves in the veins to the flow of blood from the heart were effective, then the blood could only flow toward the heart. This made him realize that if there

Editor Times —Last year the Republicans were looking about to find a market for the farmers’ surplus. Wonder what they have done with the farmers’ surplus? Corn is now selling at $1.35, oats 85 cents and wheat $2, but that means that the farmers are buying at these prices. The farmer has none to sell. I have been here about fifty-five years and the only surplus that we have had is Republicans. There are not enough offices for them all, it seems. The only way to dispose of the Republican surplus is to raise our taxes and make more offices. When I was a boy I asked Daddy. “What is the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?” “Son, I will answer your question by asking what is the difference between Jesus Christ and the Devil,” he said. “Is that the reason you have been a life-long Democrat, because Jesus Christ was a Democrat?” I asked. “Yes, son,” he replied, “and I will die a Democrat as Jesus did, because Jesus was the finest and greatest man ever on earth.” “But why do you compare Republicanism with the Devil?” “Because the Republican party is in power, as the Devil is in power.” Well, I don't know. Coolidge is a joke, the same as the Republican party. Their policy is to penalize and Russianize the Americans. The * Republican party’s chief characteristic is taking and enforcing favors for themselves. A party or a man looking for and asking favors without an even break fails to be a party or a man and is void of enough intelligence to represent good Americanism. FRANK WALTON, Campbellsburg, Ind. Editor Times: Thousands of voters believe, as Mr. Trowbridge of Mitchell docs, cn your stand in-this campaign. Sometimes it may be well to be Inconsistent, but surely this is not the year nor the occasion for it. A few questions might open the history of the administrations. State and national, for the last eight years. The Times and Mr. Trcnvbdige may itate at their leisure upon them! Does not any one who suppoi® Hoover in Indiana this year su]H ports Jackson, Walb, McCray, inson, Watson, Duvall, Leslie, Bush, 1 Stephenson, Shumaker, Gilliom, and what they have done in eight years? Can any one imagine a single ( member of the resident's cabinet not being on the inside of all the Teapot Dome “steal”? Did not the President’s party while he was presiding over the Senate, start the investigation of it? Will the men who benefited by the unlimited funds raised by Sinclair, Hays. Doheny, Forbes, Jess Smith. Daugherty, King, and many, others, be any different in power for another four years? Could you have presided over the debate on the resolution to investigate without saying or doing a thing about it for eight years, or as President says—they will or should / . .l^e. punished? When, we ask? If Mellon, Hays, Daugherty, Fall, et al. have known this for years,, and said or done nothing, can the people expect more from their fellow workmen the next four years? Would Roosevelt have cleaned house in six months’ time? Why did not the Senate and House pass the farm bill over the President’s veto, if they were sincere in voting for it? Could they have felt that votes, were worth more than vetoes? Why did not the President or some Cabinet member prepare and have passed a better bill, in eight,, years’ time? It does seem strange that those who have assisted in dynamiting it. all from under cover will go right ahead and try to put the ’ gang” back in power! A government of two parties affords the relief.

Asa sample of what causes disrespect for the law we will take the way ' the daylight saving law was pushed down our throats and the- 1 way our sleepy board of safety and police chief are trying to push the no right or left turns down our throats. They had better be thinking of a way to stop the crooks and kidnapers and murderers and so' forth. As to the editorial of Mr. Trowbridge, I can not see it at all. He admits he Is a Democrat and he would vote the ticket if there' was a yellow dog or a Chinaman the head of it. Here are my views of the election. I am a Republican, but I opposed to Hoover, Stark arejjj Leslie. I am going to support Murray for prosecutor; Dailey for Governor, and if the Democratic party puts over a man like Jim Reed or McAdoo or Heflin I vote for either, but to even consider Smith makes me sick. I am very tired of voting for the corrupt Republican party, but the , Democrats don’t seem to offer theJ people who vote for them the! chance to put oVer a real Demo- ’ erdt. The reason I am opposed to Stark is because I am opposed to j Remyism. From what I have read! in The Times and other papers have formed an opinion that t)H last primary was very corrupt, bfH where are the prosecutions? It is not the voters who defeat* the Democrats, it is the Democratsthemselves who do the work. If they would only put over a man' on the order of those I have suggested, it would be a landslide. But Smith will just cause us people who vote Democratic to vote Republican because we do believe Hoover is a better man than Smith, although lots of people do not want to vote for Hoover.
