Hoover and the New Prosperity Prosperity was a campaign issue a generation ago; it is an issue today; it always will be. It is an issue now especially in those sections that are not enjoying it, because the same forces tha-, brought prosperity to some can, if properly applied, bring prosperity to all. Let us turn our memories back over the life-span of the average voters of today. We project ourselves into an era where a bare living was the sole aim and ambition of the ordinary American citizen, when Presidents were elected on a slogan of a full dinner pail. Plenty of plain food, a roof over the head, and fuel for the winter, those were the things to thank God for, as the fruit of twelve hours or more of daily toil. Bathtubs, electric lights, the theater, travel, were rare luxuries. The rubber-tired buggy was a sign of affluence. The panic of 1907 was in the offing, and a succession of previous panics had periodically paralyzed the pocketbooks of the nation. America, economically, was a stern and rock-bound proposition, and job-fear haunted the heart of every man who worked for wages. “Came the dawn” of anew era. The dawn broke slowly. A decade or more slipped by while an infant industry was growing great. Then, suddenly, America was galvanized into new economic life by a pioneer in that industry. Henry Ford announced the $5 day. ' That one act produced a greater reaction on the economic life of this country than any other in this generation. It put into actual effect anew and strange philosophy, the philosophy of industrial success through high wages, of increased prosperity through increased distribution of wealth; of improved living standards through making it possible for the worker to buy the thing he produced and to have leisure, through shorter hours, in which to use the thing he bought. In the meantimefi Samuel Gompers, working along a different line, was leading to the same goal, higher wages and shorter hours. What at first appeared paradoxical came to be accepted as practical. The old idea of labor, that soldiering on the job made for more jobs and higher wages, and of capital, that increased profits came through holding down or cutting wages, those ideas began to disappear. America had anew economic \ ision.

Vital factors in that great economic evolution were the scientists and the inventors. Stand by a ship today and watch the unloading; see a crane hauling material to the top of a skyscraper; or watch a work of excavation. Then indulge in some more retrospection. Visualize in terms of stevedores and hod carriers and sweaty men with picks and shovels the number of human beings required to do what stationary engines, steam shovels, and steel arms do today. American labor thought through the problem and saw that those new labor-saving devices did not decrease employment on the whole. Whereas men might be thrown out of work in one industry by the invention of a labor-saving device, a remand for their services at higher wages in another industry grew out of the change. Great new industries came into being—the automobile, the radio, rubber, the airplane, and the motion pictures—joint products of invention, science, and the new point of view of labor and capital. And in turn those forces stimulated the whole vast labyrinth of industry.- The luxury of yesterday became the necessity of today. “Mass production” and “turnover” and “installment buying” became a par tof the vocabulary of business. Whereas hard times once were the result of failure to produce enough, economic troubles no longer arose from that cause. Instead, good times were assured through stimulated consumption, and advertising and all other forms of salesmanship came into new and vital importance as the creators of the demand. Intelligent spending supplanted hard and calloused thrift. The Saturday half-holiday and the flve-day week added to the nation’s leisure and thereby aided rather than retarded the growth of prosperity. In the three important divisions, coal, textiles, and agriculture, the troubles that have been a dark cloud in the otherwise bright sky arose through overproductiop, or under-consumption. Now what has all this to do with the present presidential campaign? Prosperity does not originate in politics. But government, which is politics, has been playing an increasingly important part in prosperity. And for that fact, one man is chiefly credited* The man is Herbert Hoover. The part Hoover has been playing represents something new under the sun. That new thing is government co-operation with industry—not mere government regulation, but voluntary governmental co-oper-ation. Assuming the secretaryship of commerce when that place was the least conspicuous of all cabinet offices, he has through application of his ideas of cooperation with industry saved millions upon millions to American labor and American capital through the elimination of waste and by speeding up of production. Hoover, more than any other man in public life today, has sensed the economic trend of things; has grasped the paradox of prosperity through high wages and shorter hours; understands the forces that are contributing to our economic progress. Elected President, he will bring the new science to bear in behalf of prosperity’s continued growth and its expansion into those divisions of oar economic life where prosperity has not yet appeared. Let us see how Hoover himself expresses that understanding: Behind every job is a vast, intricate, and delicately adjusted system of interlocked industries dependent upon skilled leadership. The forces of credit, communications, transportation, power, foreign relations and whatnot, must all be kept in tune. Break this chain of relationship at any point and the whole machine is thrown out of order. If we are able by labor-saving machinery and reduction of waste to decrease cost of production of an article, w 7 e know by experience that a train of consequences of the highest importance follow. Wages in that industry will rise, prices decrease, consumption increase at home and in our foreign markets, the demand for labor is enlarged and our standards of living improve. The ancient bitter opposition to improved methods on the ancient theory that It more than temproafily deprives men of employment which

still is maintained in some parts of the world has no place in the gospel of American progress. As we transfer the burden from the back of men to machines, we increase the wages of workers. We increase their buying power. We create a demand for new commodities and new services. By the energies and capital which we have released through increased efficiency of the older industries we have been able to xpaend other industries. \ Due to increased efficiency, hundreds of thousands of men and women have been transferred from the factories to our expanding insurance and banking to take care of enlarged savings . . . We have in this period seen a half million families find occupation in increased export of goods, and, above all, we have seen an increase of nearly tw omillion youth, taken largely from the potential ranks of labor, and placed in institutions of education. This is proof of real progress ... It is the road to abolition of poverity. True, this grasp of what America’s economic problem is all about isn’t the only # thing that recommends Hoover for the presidency. But, in the hustle and bustle of the present campaign, its importance should not be overlooked. , In fact, we actually believe it to be a point even more worthy of note than the question of whether or not a Baptist minister- did or did not say that A1 Smith was intoxicated. More Power Propaganda The electric power industry proposes to continue the propaganda efforts which have caused such widespread criticism since their nature and extent was revealed by the Federal Trade Commission. At least this seems a fair inference to draw from remarks of the chairman of the national public relations committee of the National Electric Light Association, the membership of which includes virtually all electric companies of the country. Said this gentleman in an address before the Great Lakes division of N. E. L. A.: “The public relations section has no apology to offer for its efforts in the past. The public relations section will continue, in spite of accusations, in spite of investigation, in spite of unjust attack, to encourage member companies to conduct themselves that the public may know us as we know ourselves to be and renew our allegiance to the principle of informing the public as well as serving the public.” There can be no quarrel with the desire of this important business to keep the public informed about its operation, its problems, and its aims. But if the public relations chairman means that the utilities intend to continue some of the reprehensible practices revealed by the Federal Trade Commission, it indeed is regrettable. Maintenance of gigantic and costly lobbies to influence Congress, political pressure exerted on legislatures and other political activity, subsidizing colleges and college professors, planting texts in schools and various other activities of the power propagandists properly drew criticism. If the utilities are wise, they will admit that they have erred, and change their methods. They otherwise can not restore and retain the good will of the public.

Raskob’s Sportsmanship “I think it is deplorable that Hansbrough made kob for the fine sportsmanship displayed in the Hansbrough matter. When apprised of the nature of the speech that the former Senator was making, a speech linking Hoover’s name with Latin-American oil holdings and concessions, Raskob immediately acted. “I think it is deplorable that Hansbfough made his attack without first trying to verify his charges ” said Raskob. “I know there is no truth in its against Mr. Hoover.” Unfortunately the great game of politics usually is played in a much less sportsmanlike manner than the great games of tennis, or golf, or baseball. It, therefore, is refreshing to see a leader of a great political party recognize that there is place in politics for the same standard of fair play is that which is accepted as usual in other lines of human competition. —— David Dietz on Science .

hour after hour in the chemical laboratory. And then, at 26, fame to him Another great chemist, J. J. Berzelius, had shown that there were two kinds of tartaric acid deposited from wine-lees. Chemically, the two were exactly alike. But they benaved differently physically. The one would oend a ray of polarized light to the right. The other had no effect at all. Polarized light is light which is vibrating in one plane only. Ordinary light is a mixture of waves or vibrations in all planes. Pasteur showed by his experiment that there were two kinds of crystals of tartaric acid. They were exactly alike except that one was the mirror-image of the other. That is, they had the same relation to each other that an object has to its image in the mirror or that a person’s right hand has to his left. He showed that the tartaric acid which bent the polarized light to the right consisted of one kind of crystals while the acid which had no effect was a mixture of the two. He showed that when this second type of acid was separated into its constituents, one constituent would bend the light to the right, while the other bent it to the left. Asa result of his fame, Pasteur was made professor of chemistry at Strassbourg. Next he proposed marriage to the daughter cl the dean of the college. “There is nothing in me to attract a young girl’s fancy,” he wrote to her, “but my recollections tell me that those who have known me very well have loved me very much.” She married him, and as De Krutf tells us, became “one of the most famous and most long-suffering and in many ways one of the happiest wives in history."

■pROVIDENCE, R. 1., Oct. 13. Rhode Island is doubtful. Both Democrats and Republicans admit as much. No matter how many wet Republicans vote for Smith, they say, or how many French Catholics vote for Hoover, the result is in the lap of the gods. The outcome would be hard to guess under any circumstances, but a confused local situation makes it hopeless. Normally, the Republican majority in Rhode Island is about 35,000, and it has not voted for a Democratic President since’ the Civil War, except Wilson, who won by a plurality over Roosevelt and Taft. According to tradition, Rhode Island should be in the Hoover column, but Rhode Island has small use for tradition, as is illustrated by its history. Though the first State to declare independence of Great Britain, it was the last to ratify the Federal Constitution. It did not adopt a constitution of its own until 1842, being content to operate under the old colonial charter, with the name of the British king and other references to royal authority omitted. ' It Is one of the two States that never have ratified the Eighteenth Amendment. non Catholics in Majority AS everyone knows Rhode Island is the smallest State in the Union. It also is the most densely populated. It was the first community in the world to proclaim religious liberty. It now contains the largest percentage of Catholics of any State. The Catholic population, numbering 325,000 out of a total of 700,000, is composed of Irish, French and Italian elements, of which the Irish is easily the most numerous and most influential. Generally speaking, the Irish Catholics are and have been Demcrats, while the French and Italians have, split their votes between the two parties. If anything, the French have leaned toward the Republicans. Race and religion not only play an important part in the Rhode Island campaign this year, but have played an important part for several years. Political leaders make no bones about it. Citizens of French extraction openly are nominated to catch the French vote, and those of Irish extraction to catch the Irish vote, by both parties. In the campaign, the Democrats have nominated Albertic A. Archambault of Freqch descent for Governor, while the Republicans have nominated Felix Hebert, also of French descent, for United States Senator. Hebert was not only nominated over former Representative Ambrose Kennedy, an Irish Catholic, and one of the most popular men in the State, but agkinst the will of United States Senator Metcalf. This episode merely widens the breach in the Republican ranks caused by the struggle between Metcalf and Frederick S. Peck for control of the State organization.

a a a Split Hurts Chances WITH Peck and Metcalf for control within the Republican part®, the Democrats should have a good chance. But a bolt of French Catholics which originated in a religious controversy, but which is expressing itself in a political alignment with the Republicans, makes this doubtful. Some years ago a dispute with regard to the use of parish, funds for the erection of parochial high schools broke out. with Elphege J. Dftignault, a Woonsocket lawyer, leading the complaints. Suit was brought in court to restrain the bishop from Using these funds in such a way. This suit was dimissed on the ground that the State charter gave the bishop control of funds. The result was that Daignault and sixty-two associates were expelled from the church, except four, who. have done penance and have been readmitted. They and their sympathizers are in open revolt, staging a regular Ku-Klux Klan crusade through a paper which they control, and calling on everyone to vote against A1 Smith. Their argument is that Irish Catholics are in control of the church in this diocese, that French Catholics have been ignored and persecuted, and that Smith’s election would lead only to further discrimination r gainst the latter. a an Bright for Democrats OBSERVERS, even among Republicans, believe that the Democrats stand a better chance of electing a State ticket than the Republicans and that they probably will win the United States Senatorship. As between Smith and Hoover, everyone concedes the race is close. Prohibition has caused many wet Republicans to switch. If it were not for the French bolt referred to aboVe, the Democrats could be depended upon to win by ten or fifteen thousand. What that bolt amounts to is a matter of sheer guesswork. Until his excommunication, Daignault had a large following, not only in the Woonsocket district, but throughout the state. Though that following has diminished, and though he has alienated many people by the ruthlessness of his attacks, it is still large enough to make the outcome very doubtful. He claims he controls ten or fifteen thousand votes. If he does, he can do a great deal to offset the defection of wet Republicans. No one with whom I have talked believes that Rhode Island can go either way by more than 10,000. My own opinion is that Smith will carry R 1 de Island by a small majority

Animals Aid Gas-Ripened Produce Test

BY DR. MORRIS FISIIBEIN, Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hyceia, the Health Magazine. WHEN it was disovered that ethylene gas used in industry for aiding the rapid ripening of fruits and vegetables had anesthetic properties, it became one of the most popular anesthetics used in American surgery, replacing to a considerable extent the use of ether, chloroform and nitrous oxide oxygen or laughing gas. The attention given to this substance caused doubts in the minds of some investigators as to whether or not the rapid ripening of fruits and vegetables by - this artificial means would not interfere seriously with the content of vitamins. It seemed reasonable that the de.velopment of the vitamin might be

THOSE who like to lay the wild excesses of our time upon the doorstep of prohibition will be shocked to hear The Rev. Bertram Smith, president of the British Congregational Union, warn England that she is headed for destruction on account of the frightful decline of national morals, particularly among the young. And this condition, so like our own, exists in a land where booze is for sale on every hand! a a a , The best thing Hoover has said is that he favors the public ownership and operation of Muscle Shoals for the benefit of the national defense and agriculture. Most people favor public ownership and operation of all great natural resources, and these people are not anarchists or Socialists, either. The Lord may have made our rivers for the exclusive benefit of a bunch of exploiters, but we fail to find the record of it. Smith’s position on this question is his strongest recommendation.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Herbert Hoover is storing up for himself a huge political debt to one individual, which is expected to have a deep effect on the next admiinstration if Hoover is in the White House. This is the reaction of old political observers today to the Republican announcement that Senator Borah has been chosen to follow Smith’s campaign swing around the doubtful Southern, border and Midwestern States, to “wipe out Al’s tracks.” To Borah, more than to any other, Hoover probably owes his nomination and his degree of success so far in the election campaign. Neither Hoover nor Borah is the type to make campaign “trades.” But so long as politics and politicians remain so much a matter of personalities, it is believed inevitable that such “debts” always end after a successful election in a close working friendship—or extreme hatred. Borah's relation with Hoover is unusual. It is entirely different from that of the old line wheel horses, whom the candidate took over automatically when he became leader of the party. For Borah was not part of that old organization. The relationship is also different from that of the younger Republican group, in Congress and the departments. such as Ogden Mills, assistant secretary of the treasury, “Wild Bill” Donovan, assistant attorney general, and different from that of “Hoover’s bright young men” at the commerce department. Borah is 63 —neither young nor ambitious to rise in party management. The relationship is utterly unlike that of the dozens such as that other assistant attorney general, Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, whose critics characterize her as “a publicity seeker and climber.” Hoover, nor no one else in the country, can give Borah any more publicity; he long has had more than the vainest of men could ask. & tt U WHAT could Hoover give Borah? Long before Hoover's day Borah had rejected the vice presidency, various embassies abroad, and several cabinet posts, including that of Secretary of State. There is nothing, apparently, which Hoover could give—nothing, that is, except a close political friendship of two equals working together for common purposes, one as the chief executive and the other in his own right the most powerful figure in Congress. Since Borah, so far as outsiders can judge, could have had no possible reason of personal advantage for becoming the key man in th Hoover campaign, it is assumed he is acting solely from the belief that Hoover's election will advance the type of liberalism which Borah serves. At any rate Borah threw his support to Hoover in the pre-conven-tion struggle when the candidate was ignored by Coolidge and Mellon, and opposed by both the so-called reactionary Wall Street and socalled radical farm wings of the party. After the Wall Street opposition collapsed at Kansas City, it was Borah more than any other who swung the revolting mid-West delegates aboard the band wagon. Then, when Smith began his effective campaigning through the restless grain belt, the Republican strategists found there was almost only one G. O. P. speaker able to win back the bolters. That was the Orator from Idaho. Now in the crucial closing weeks of the campaign they trust Borah, •almost alone, to repair the damage of Smith’s second tour.

a a a FOR twenty years Borah has been been an independent lone-hand leader of the progressive group in the party. Never has he bolted the party. But never has he given unquestioning support to any Republican administration. Never has he worked for a candidate as he is now for Hoover. Borah has many enemies. The conservatives in Washington single him out for hatred and abuse. The radicals curse him almost as much, because "he does not go the whole way on any issue.” But all iear his opposition. All court his help. All recognize that he has more power to create public opinion throughout the country and control the Senate on a close issue than perhaps any man, including Presidents. Hoover, the silent, aloof, driving executive; Borah, the eloquent statesman of popular appeal—two men utterly unlike in temperament and training except for the extreme individualism they share. Working together, they would be practically an unbeatable political team; but, working against each other they probably would wreck and administration and provido more' fireworks than Washington has seen in a generation. The Hoover political debt to Borah already is too big probably to result in anything but the closest friendship or the bitterest enmity.
