Poisoned Opinion Let no one suppose that $15,000 was all the money spent by utilities of this State in the last two or three years to control legislation. That was the sum admitted by the manager of an organization which was formed for the purpose of creating public sentiment to permit the Insulls and the others to get what they wished from legislators, Governors and utility commissioners. The investigation at "Washington exposes the utilities in the role of poisoners of public opinion, rather than creators of fair sentiment. The methods of the gj'oup were not those of men who pleador urge an honest cause. They hid their identity and appealed by false pretenses. The expense accounts of this utility group shows that they paid speakers, one of whom is now a candidate for a very high office, to go before luncheon clubs and give sage counsel, all favorable to the utility attitude. The members of the clubs, of course, had no idea that the speaker had the money of the utilities in his pocket. They supposed he was just an earnest citizen arguing for conservative treatment of a public question. These expenditures also show that th£ group got into the public schools, that its arguments were carried home by children, that teachers fell for their bait. More infamous is the fact that highly trained experts were introduced, by the same false pretenses, into the State University and there got at the youth of the land with propaganda paid for by these special interests. The group is exposed as putting poison ipto the well from which the public is supposed to drink information. Os course, the real corruption of the utilities costs much more. In every legislative session they have a battery of high priced lawyers and fixers. The small sum paid to professors and speakers would seem even smaller if contrasted with the fees of just one of these men. The people get a hint, now and then. There is that-story that does not die of the $19,000 paid in one campaign. And in every campaign these interests pay usually to both parties. Os course, the money comes out of the pockets of the gas and telephone and electric light and street railway patrons. They are taxed to foot the bills. Hereafter if you happen to hear someone pleading for “fair” treatment for the utilities, it might be well to inquire how much he gets paid, secretly, for his services. The secrecy exposes the morals and methods of the utility group. Honest men do not mask their arguments or hire secret defenders. Perhaps the people, after a while, will learn to protect themselves: One Who Believes A kindly man leaning heavily upon two strong walking canes made his way to the platform at the Democratic national convention. He laid aside his canes and by the same movement divested himself of all other outward evidence of his invalidism. He started to speak in a slow, distinct tone with only an occasional emphasis of a word. He did not try to sway his audience or to lift his listeners from their seats. - He sought no wild moments of enthusiasm through the tricks of the skilled orator. He did not play upon the more tender emotions of those who were following his words, nor did he try to move them to tears or hysteria. Here was a man with something to say; something he believed in sincerely; something he wanted every one else to believe. Because he was sincere and because he spoke as he did, this man commanded not only the interest, but the respectful attention, of his audience. The speaker was Franklin D. Roosevelt. His subject, Governor A1 Smith. His message, that Smith is a great and good man. His desire, that others know Smith as he knows him. His hope, that Smith -will be the next President of the United States. Roosevelt’s speech was not a great address, as oratory is measured in the United States Senate or on a lecture platform. He even may have felt disappointed that the handclappings were so infrequent. But Roosevelt’s speech was a good speech, because it emphasized the humanness of Smith and his ability to make and keep friends. Smith, the Catholic, and Smith, the wet, faded from the minds of many and was replaced with a vision of Smith, the man. It is the man that makes Smith the presidential nominee of the Democratic party today. It is friends like Franklin D. Roosevelt, who believe in him so implicitly, who have made Smith four times Governor of New York and are pushing him to the very threshold of the White House. Coolidge, Roman Emperor A French historian. Jacques Bainville, is considerably perturbed by his perusal of the message President Coolidge sent to Herbert Hoover after the letter’s nomination for the presidency. It demonstrates, he says, that the United States is drunk with wealth and power. The message, he adds, has the tone of a Roman emperor and not of a President of a republic. That would be quite distressing if it were true. It is hard to see just how this country acts as if it were drunk with power, though. We may have made mistakes in our foreign dealings during the last decade, but if so it was only be- , cause we were dealing with various peoples who, L caught in a jam of their own making, were trying to ■move heaven and earth to escape the consequences. ® And any one who can compare Calvin Coolidge ■rtth a Roman emperor just naturally has a good ■pagination.

Hoover and Smith Each party has put forth its best man. Herbert Hoover or Alfred E. Smith will be the next President. The real significant of the two nominations is that the rank and file of the American people have won a double-barreled victory against the professional politicians and the factionalists. Hoover held the enmity of predatory financial Interests in the East and powerful professional politicians in the Middle West. Opposing. Smith were intangible and mighty forces of primal hate and lurking dread. Self-seeking leaders, by making a bogey man out of the Pope of Rome, sought to use those fears and prejudices to prevent Smith’s nomination. They were joined by the fanatical drys who contended that the critical opinions of a candidate on the prohibition law constituted disqualification for office. Smith’s nomination is the people’s indication of the constitutional provisions which guarantee the right to worship and to think as you please. Hoover Is now responsible for his party. Let him reclaim it for decency. Smith is now responsible for his party. Let him cleanse it—and, in the doing, let him remember that Tammany’s stench fouls the same air as the Ohio gang. Last January, this and other Scripps-Howard newspapers expressed the editorial opinion that Hoover among the Republicans and Smith among the Democrats were the strongest and best candidates. As independent newspapers, we felt it our duty to work in both vineyards, and to use our influence to the end that, no matter what happened in November, the country would be well served after inauguration day. We naturally are gratified by the Houston result, as we were by the Kansas City result. At the time of our original expression in behalf of Hoover for the Republican nomination and Smith for the Democratic, we said we believed Hoover would make a better President than Smith. We think that his knowledge both of national and international problems is greater than Smith’s; that his training as an engineer and an economist is better equipment than is tlfte training of Smith as Governor of New York. Such questions as the development of hydro-electric power, flood control of the Mississippi, imperialism, international debts, and all the other world-wide issues that contain with them the greatest problem of all—the problem of war or peace. But an independent newspaper is not a party organ. In supporting Hoover we will not align ourselves as the enemy or traducer of the good and able man who is his opponent. We want to see Hoover in the White House. But, excepting Hoover, we would rather see Alfred E. Smith there than any man since Woodrow Wilson. International Familiarity Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. national council, told a meeting of New York business men the other day that as nations are being brought closer together by improved transportation; and communication they are reacting on each other “with increasing virulence” and are thereby drifting gradually closer toward war. That is rather surprising. We used to assume that bringing the nations closer together would make them more neighborly; every advance in transportation and communication, such as the airplane and the radio, has been hailed as a force that would make for world peace. But Dr. Mott doesn’t see it that way. Maybe it’s only natural that it should work out that way, at that. Individuals often remain more friendly if they don’t see each other too often; it’s usually easier to be friends with a man living a block away than with the next-door neighbor. Perhaps it’s the same with nations. ' President Coolidge sent a telegram to Herbert Hoover the other day telling him he had been nominated for “the most important position in the world.’ Cal must take that job seriously.

Pole Star Will Change No. 89

POLARIS, the present north or pole star, did not always enjoy that distinction. And in years to come it will lose it. The reason is that the earth wabbles on its axis as it revolves around the sun. The north star is the star

projection of the earth's axis describes an imaginary circle in the sky. This is made clear by the accompanying illustration. The shift of the earth’s axis is so slow, however, that it takes it 25,000 years to describe the entire circle. Modern astronomical measurements are delicate enough to detect this shift and to enable us to make predictions as to what stars will be the pole stars of the future. And in addition, historical records of the past agree with what present-day calculations say must have been the pole stars of past centuries. About 4,600 years ago, the brightest star in the constellation of Draco or the Dragon, the star known as Alpha Draconis, held the distinction of being the pole star. With the passage of time, the honor shifted to the brightest star of the constellation of the Little Bear, the star we now call Polaris. Polaris will keep the honor for about 3,000 more years. It will then pass, in succession tc a number of stars in the nearby constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus. In about 5,600 years to come, Alpha Cephei, the brightest star in the constellation of Cepheus, will be the pole star. A few thousand years later, Alpha Cygni, the brightest star in Cygnus, will hold the the honor. In 12,000 years from now, the familiar bright star, Vega, will be the pole star. , f

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “The Cry Is Not for Years, but for Health, Strength and Eternal Youth. ‘lts Brevity Is Not the Worst Aspect of Human Life.’ ”

THE monkey grows shockingly prominent in human affairs. First, Mr. Darwin suggests that he might dc our grandpa, several thousand times removed, and then Dr. Serge Voronofl comes forward with the idea that we may be able to live longer by stealing his glands. “Gloomy Dean” Inge of England, who seldom passes up an opportunity to “view with alarm,” thinks that this latter proposition is nothing less than defiance of the divine pain. In a sermon at Westminster Abbey he took occasion to attack Dr. Serge Voronoff’s theory of rejuvenation by this method. “I regret,” said the Dean, “that there is being honored and applauded in Great Britain a foreigner whose theories are revolting to all pure minded men and womfn. It is disgraceful.” When asked later if it was Dr. Voronofl he had in mind, the dean not only admitted it was but said, “It is monstrous that this man who claims to be able to extend life by Interassociation of apes and humans should be listened to. Where is our sense of holiness?” u u tt Priests Test Plan Dr. Voronofl, who was in Paris at the time, promptly took issue with the “Gloomy Dean.” “Asa matter of fact," said Dr. Voronofl, “there must be sixty-three priests now saying prayers for me for what I have been able to | accomplish in deferring old age and stimulating the brain.” “Dean Inge is not only far behind the times,” Dr. Voronofl added, “but is in opposition to the beneficial actions of science, which permit the prolonging of the life of man, and thus the performance of more ' good works.” He also said that he had found | Catholic priests much more sympa- I thetic than doctors toward the i transplantation of glands and bet- | ter acquainted with the relationship of glands to the human! organism, especially the brain. a Desires to Live Os far more intimate nature, though just as hard to answer, is the question of whether people are so tremendously anxious to live longer, especially when they have reached an advanced age. When recently interviewed on the subject, ten out of thirteen English centenarians said that they would not. Aged New Yorkers, according to j a recent survey by the New Ycrk World, are more optimistic, possibly beacuse of the difference between New York and London, as one of them explained. Apparently, there is no more unanimity with regard to long life than with regard to most other thing*. Those who are young, well and strong feel quite sure that they want it. Those who have passed the meridian are still unfavorably impressed, but not so sure.'Those who stand amid deepening shadows with their vitality sapped and their friends gone, seem generally content to pass on with the procession. a a tt Cry for Health The cry is not for years, but for health, strength and eternal youth. If one could remain 30, it would bo different, but one can not. Monkey glands or no monkey glands, the clock goes right on ticking, with old faces giving place to new ones and the readjustment to changed conditions becoming harder and harder. ' Restoration of youth would be incomplete without the restoration of those scenes and associates which made youth what it was, and that, of course, is out of the question. Asa teacher of philosophy recently remarked, “Its brevity is not the worst aspect of human life.” The average mind has stood about all it can when it has tuned itself to the innovations and bereavements of 80 or 90 years. No Divine Question Meanwhile, the monkey gland operation by which Dr. Voronofl has made such a stir in the world, has not passed the experimental stage. To begin with, this operation has not been practiced long enough to prove anything. We have little but Dr. Voronoff’s word for what it will accomplish. He says that he can prolong life for forty years, and perhaps he can, but it will take forty years more to prove it. Putting that question aside, why should people get so excited, particularly over the religious aspect of such an experiment? Has it any religious aspect whatsoever, any bearing on the spiritual side of life, any connection with the Divine plan except as that plan seems to presuppose that men should flounder around and discover what they can? We Americans slaughter and eat some 10,000,000 cattle every year, not to mention hogs, sheep and poultry. Is there any essential difference between prolonging life with dead meat and prolonging it with live meat? Does not a transplanted monkey gland represent about the same method of sustaining human existence as a swallowed lamb chop? Is the interassociation of monkeys and humans, which so shocks Dean Inge, much more revolting than the intelassociation of pigs and humans? The average American of 50 has probably consumed several tons of pork, and that pork has become a part of his physical being. The fact that it was dead pork when he consumed it does not mean that it ceased to be pork or that it did not originate in a live pig. Describe the flag of the German Republic? It has three horizontal! bars of equal length and width, black on top, red in the middle and gold at the bottom.

which is at the spot which the earth’s axis would touch if the axis were projected into the sky. C o nsequently, if the spinning earth wabbles like a top which is slowing down, the projection of the axis will not always reach the same spot. As the earth slowly shifts its position, the

Most of the cases are the results of errors in the construction cf the eye, resulting either in near-sightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Some of the defects are due to weaknesses of the eye muscles or represent the results of scars left by previous infection. Obviously the child who is handicapped with bad vision suffer more greatly than any other in its school work. Only recently have tests begun to be made uniformly of school children with a view to giving ail o' them an equal chance at education Our laws say that every child shall have an equal chance at an education, but unless it is physically fit, particularly so far as concerns its vision and hearing, its chance is not the same as that of the child who is normal physically. A survey made by a committee representing the National Educational Association, the American Medical Association and the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness indicates that 12 per cent represents the amount of defective

People Pay Bills for Candidates

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON WE have to pay their salaried while they are in office, of course, but it seems hardly fair lhaS the hard-pressed taxpayer should foot the bill for campaign expenses for Senators and Congressmen, However, that we partially do so is evidenced by the franking privilege records. Presidential candidates have used this privilege to the extent that three of them have distributed more than two million copies of speeches, Senator Heflin of Alabama, great Truth Champion, has had a printing bill of a little less than ten thousand, nearly the total of his annual salary as Senator. Most of these were his burning remarks against A1 Smith and the Catholic church. He has been carrying on this work with your money. a a o a long time the common folks -T have thought the franking privilege was overworked. Consider, please, the government postman, carrying an added burden of thousands of franked letters in the campaign years, his back bowed down under literally a million pounds of speeches, A weight of eloquence that nobody listened to and that nobody will read. Consider also that this public servant earns a small salary and has a two weeks’ annual vacation. And that he must do all this extra work without any more pay for politicians who get almost ten times as much for far less labor and who have three months’ vacation with pay to get themselves back into office. a a a . THERE’S sense to the frank if 18 is used in the interest of the taxpayer. Or even if used as a cious privilege accorded to statesmen who make our laws and who when it was first instituted received far less salary than they now get. But surely Uncle Sam did not in* tend that the people should foot thal bill for a candidate's campaign expense. That would be adding insult to injury. And the most pitiful thing about this matter is that in spite of all (he labor of preparing them, tha expense of printing and the trouble of transportation, probably not onehalf of one per cent of these! speeches are ever read. The average man flings into his waste basket anything in his mail under a frank. Experience has taught him what to expect if ha opens it. <

He promised to instruct workmen to use greater caution in handling cans. How can tarnished gold leaf be brightened? When gold leaf on exposed signs is tarnished there is no way to bring back its luster, because it may be due to the leaf not being pure in the first place, and the alloy is affected by noxious gases. If the gold letters or ornaments on signs are laid with pure gold leaf and are merely covered with soot or dirt, a sponge moistened with alcohol or spirits of turpentine will remove the dirt, dust, soot, etc., but the gilt must not be wiped dry. Allow it to dry of its own accord.
