SOUPPS-HOWAJtD

Still Nervous The state department persists in its refusal to permit Count Michael Karolyi, first president of the Hungarian republic, to visit this country. Karolyi applied for passport visas for himself and his wife at the embassy in Paris. A group of liberals tere urged Secretary Kellogg to grant the petition. The state department replied that it saw no reason to alter its original decision of three years ago. Thus the state department forces this country into an attitude of friendliness and co-operation toward the reactionary government of the dictator Horthy, and of hostility toward the liberal elements of Hungary. The state ‘department apparently bases its action on the theory that the Karolyis are communists, which they are not. They are pacifists and liberals. Karolyi, as president of Hungary, instituted reforms along democratic lines. He advocated suffrage, free speech, and distribution of large estates. The reactionaries overthrew the Karolyi government and he fled the country. They do not want Karolyi to stir up sympathy for his cause, and their influence has been great enough to cause our state department to abandon the traditional position of this country &£ a haven for political exiles and the champion of liberal movements everywhere. Fortunately, we may look for a return to saner methods after March 4. The Karolyi incident, meantime, might well engage the attention of some of the gentlemen in congress who have not succumbed to the communistic hysteria as have the nervous officials of the state department. Capital Punishment An interesting sidelight on the fallibil ty of human courts, and therefore the possibility of doing irreparable wrong by inflicting the death penalty, is contributed by the well-known writer and journalist, Charles Edward Russell. It is circulated by the League to Abolish Capital Punishment. Says Russell: "William Heihvagner was hanged at Rock Island, 111., in March, 1882, for the murder of his daughter-in-law, wife of his son Otto. I saw him hanged. "He had been fairly tried and well defended. The judge was humane, upright, careful. The twelve grave citizens who composed the jury were convinced of the prisoner’s guilt. "All the safeguards that our American judicial procedure throws about accused persons were used in this man’s behalf. He had every delay, every opportunity, every presumption in his favor. Hie trial lasted many days. The evidence was searched narrowly. Appeal to a higher court showed not a flaw in the proceedings. “He was hanged in the jail yard before a group, mostly newspaper men. As he walked out on the scaffold he looked down on us and said steadily: “ ‘Gentlemen, I am innocent of this crime/ "None of us believed him. In the well-ordered processes of our courts, how could innocence be found guilty of death? "Yet he told the truth. Ten years later, a wretched man sat in a lodging house at Quincy, 111., and wrote a confession of the crime for which we had put William Heilwagner to death; wrote it in detail and with indubitable circumstances. Then he left it where it would be found, and threw himself from the Quincy bridge and was drowned. "It was the old man’s son Otto. "Horror-stricken we all were, when we knew that we had sent a guiltless man to the scaffold. When it was eternally too late, we all wished earnestly that we had never hunted down the poor old man. "He was convicted on a chain of circumstantial evidence that seemed without a fault. I never have known a stronger. Yet it was worthless, misleading, and tricked the state into a murder worse than it was seeking to avenge. "These are the facts. I ask one question. "If the jury went so terribly astray in this case, how can we be sure of its decision in any other case? “When the electric chair or the gallows has done its work, there is no chance to rectify the mistake. In your fnind you can go back to it a thousand times and regret it, but you never can rectify it. "The chance is too terrible. We take it in nine cases in ten when we condemn men to death. Shall we keep on taking it? "I helped to take it once. My self-reproaches never brought William Heilwagner back to life.” The Dangers of Zealotry This has to do with the state of the American mind now that the election is over. During this campaignu passions were aroused in certain sections that have greater possible danger for the Union than the prejudices and passions that Were stirred up over slavery before the Civil war. Religious prejudice and passion go deeper into human emotions than any difference of opinion over slavery, or over any economic issue. They have been responsible for many of the bloodiest wars in human history—fanatical zeal to make triumphant a particular manner of worshipping God. Familiar with the persecutions inspired by bigotry and intolerance in the religious wars of the Old World, the Fathers of the American republic, the founders and framers of the Constitution of the United States, and the authors of the immortal Declaration of Independence, had in their minds the dedication of this democracy to freedom of conscience and religious liberty. In mr mg the Constitutio nthey looked ahead as far as they could with the light they had and knowledge of history to guide them, and tried to guarantee, for all time to come, in the fundamental law of the land, the right of every citizen to be free and undisturbed in his natural right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. But they went further than that. They recognized not only all Christians, but all men, of whatever religious faith, as brothers under the Fatherhood of God. There was to be no restriction of full religious liberty. There should be no religious test as a qualification for citizenship or office-holding. All of us, no matter what our religious faith might be, were to dwell together in peace and harmony and build up, without sectarian interference of any kind, the greatest democracy on earth. With their knowledge of the cruel tyranny the Old World had experienced from a union of Church and State, the framers of the Constitution sought in that document to insure us against any such dangerous alliance. Thus far the spirit of the founders of the republic

has prevailed, and has Inspired their children and their children’s children with patriotic devotion to their country. Up to date this has been a free and not a sectarian democracy. Whenever the nation was in danger, all men of all creeds fought together as brother Americans to preserve the republic and the freedom of conscience guaranteed in that fundamental law. Now it is menaced. Emotions have been stirred up, passions have been aroused and a veritable hell of animosities brewed that endanger the very spirit of constitutional liberty. From the disastrous results from such clashing of intolerant and cruel passions the republic must be saved. And there is no graver duty for every patriotic American citizen than to sit down and sic down hard on every man or woman who helps to fan this spark of intolerance into a consuming flame. Whoever seeks to harm any candidate or any citizen because of his religious faith is an enemy of the Constitution and his country. Buy Respectability Leaders in the oil industry have started a movement to have the American Petroleum institute offer the office of president to President Coolidge at its meeting early next month. This we learn from the New York Herald-Tribune. It is believed that a former president would lend "prestige” to the organization, which includes in its membership the principal oil companies o’ the country. Further, legislation is to be sought to permit pooling agreements for restriction of production, and it is thought the industry "will need all the Influence it can muster” to gain the assent of congress. Men backing the Coolidge idea “hold that the industry as a whole has, not been cleared of the blame attaching to it from the Sinclair and Doheny scandals,” according to the Herald-Tribune. The organized oil industry remained silent thioughout the Senate's investigation of the looting of the oil reserves. It offered no help and uttered no word of condemnation. It made no effort to clean its own house. - Even worse, it has retained on it£ directorate Harry F. Sinclair, Edward L. Doheny, and Robert W. Stewart, all of whom have been prosecuted by the United States on criminal charges. Now the oil men have the effrontery—lf the Her-ald-Tribune is correct —to propose to buy the name of an ex-President of the United States to provide the respectability they have forfeited, and to impress a justly suspicious congress from which favors are to be sought. We believe that President Coolidge's answer would be a short and emphatic no. The American Petroleum institute can gain confidence and respect only when it outspokenly refuses to countenance the activities of the Sinclairs, Dohenys and Stewarts, and removes them from positions of influence. A policeman in lowa City shot at a man who wasn’t hurt because the bullet struck a bottle in his hip pocket. The moral is obvious. Perhaps those Chicago politicians named in the sanitary district graft case;; were only trying to clean up. The war department says that enlisted men of the army drank 51,000,000 cups of tea last year. Must be getting ready to Invade Great Britain. Only a couple of weeks now and we can send those incense burners we got last year to some of our friends. In St. Louis the other day Miss Irma Mason, 18, married Henry Auer, 76. Maybe she merely wanted to improve the shining Auer.

- David Dietz on Science Rapid-Fire Inventions No. 216

THE amazing thing about Thomas A. Edison's career is the rapidity with which he turns out inventions. The twenty-two years of his career from 1878 to 1900 illustrate this. Many of the famous inventions which led to the recent action of the United States congress in awarding him a medal of honor. In 1877 Edison astonished the scientific world with his invention of the phonograph. He spent the first half of 1878 improving it but before the year was over he was already hard at work on the incandescent

ed his electric light the next year, putting the first one in operation on Oct 21, 1879. The lamp burned for forty hours before giving out. Electric lights, however, required more than the invention of a satisfactory light. It was necessary to devise most of the instruments which go along with the lights—dynamos, meters, switches, line systems and so on. On Dec. 31, 1879, Edison gave the first public demonstration of the use of his lights for street and indoor lighting at Menlo Park, N. J. In 1880 he found time to indent a magnetic ore separator. Then the electric light began to occupy his attention again. He opened an office in New York at 65 Fifth avenue and began to make plans for the commercial manufacture of electric lights and the generation and distribution of electric power. A plant was established at Harrison, N. J., to manufacture lamps. The first commercial station for the distribution of electric power was dpened in New York on Sept. 4, 1882. Between then and 1887 Edison took out more than three hundred patents covering fundamental details of the electric power industry. In 1887 he moved to West Orange, N. J., where his present? laboratory is situated. Before 1900 he had invented the wax phonograph record and taker out over eighty patents on the phonograph, he had invented the motion picture camera and he had made a number of inventions which are dispensable to the iron ore industry.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Riches Are No Longer Looked Upon as a License to Be Vicious or Tyrannical.”

PAYNE WHITNEY left an estate of $178,000,000. That is a pretty big fortune, even in this age of multi-millionaires. It was not big enough, however, to make him a snob or a tyrant. Payne Whitney was not exceptional in this respect. Most rich men in this country are fairly sensible and fairly democratic. That‘represents not only a great change, but a great triumph for the American system. Time was, and not so long ago either, 'when men could not possess vast fortunes without abusing them, when they were not only hated for their wealth, but justly so. Riches are no longer looked upon as a license to be vicious or tyrannical. The idea that they constitute a trusteeship and that those possessing them are under obligation to set a good example has gone deeper than we realize. That idea is the child of democracy. The kind of government which our forefathers established, and under which we have lived for more than 150 years, has created a new spirit of co-operation. Men always have recognized the wisdom of working with and for one another when it was necessary. The American system, as we call it, has taught them the wisdom of doing so, even though the necessity Is not apparent. • m m m Bequests to Charity Payne Whitney left more than one-fourth of his fortune to charity, and again he did nothing unique. The rich man who fails so to do is looked upon as queer, if not inhuman, and his own class is often first to criticise him. Such frame of mind was not developed by accident. It is the product of education and experience, especially as they were made possible in these United States. The monarchical theory rests on the assumption that the only way to make poor people decent is to keep them poor. The Bolshevist theory rcjts on the assumption that the only way to make rich men decent is to make them poor. The American theory rests on the assumption that all classes of people will not only be decent so long as they feel they have an opportunity to better their condition through their own efforts, but that they will recognize the wisdom of helping one another. n tt Singular Stand jn Russia Speaking of monarchy and bolshevism, why do we adopt a different attitude toward the latter than we always have maintained toward the former? To be specific, why do we refuse even to go so far as a conference with Soviet Russia looking toward possibility of recognition, or deny her officials and representatives passports on every possible occasion? On Thursday, the United Press reported from Berlin that, accorcfing to Russian advices, two members of the Soviet business mission to the United States have been refused passport visas by the American state department. They were V. I. Ossinski-Obelen-ski, former commissioner of agriculture and head of the Russian delegation to the World Economic conference at Geneva, and V. I Mayeshlauk. vice-president of the Soviet Supreme Economic council. They intended visiting the United States primarily to negotiate with big American automobile concerns for establishment of factories in Russia. From Russian sources, the report said, it was learned that the proposed negotiations involved a $20,000,000 deal and the eventual placing of large orders with other American industries. tt St tt Soviet Cannot Survive I am one of those who believe that the Russian regime is impossible: that it cannot survive in Its present form; that it is bound to be modified or collapse. The fact that it has lasted eleven years means little. The Romanoff regime was as repugnant to our ideals as it Communism, but we did not scruple to recognize It. That being so. why should we scruple to recognize the Soviet government, provided it is willing to admit and fulfill Its obligations? Why should we discriminate against its officials, and representativees, if they desire to visit this country for no other purpose than to promote trade? tt n a Must Be Above Board We have a right to insist on recognition of national debts, no matter how great a revolution has taken place, or what kind of government succeeds it.. We have a right to keep out any foreigner whom we think may create unnecessary trouble in this country. But—and this is the important part—while exercising that right, we place ourselves under obligations to be open and above board In all our dealings. In refusing to recognize any government, we are under obligations to state the reasons fully and frankly. In refusing any citizen a passport, we are under obligation to say why. We are under such obligation not only as a matter of justice to those concerned, but for the sake of an intelligent public opinion at home. How can the American people form intelligent ideas of what this government’s foreign policy is, or what it ought to be, unless they are given the facts? How can they vote intelligently without being able to form such ideas. It goes without saying that o.ur state department should not be expected to give out every detail, that cases are bound to arise where more or less secrecy is desirable. When It comes to such an important matter as relations between this government and Russia, as little as possible .should be left to the Imagination.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Respiratory Diseases Perilous to Clerks

Question: Does the average person today live longer than people did 100 years ago? V Answer: In the seventeenth century the average age at death was 33 years! in 1855. the average age at death In Massachusetts and In New York was 40; In 1920. the average age at death in 24 states was 56.

Reason

colds, influenza, bronchitis and tonsilitis are responsible for 45.2 pier cent of all Illness reported among clerical workers in any year. About five working days are lost for every clerk , each year. because of respiratory diseases. The women employes have a much higher absence rate because of sickness than do men employes, exceeding the rate for men by 78 per cent. For respiratory diseases alone, the absence rate of women is 54 per cent higher than that of men. The figures for this insurance company may be duplicated in any large concern employing numbers of people. Investigators are convinced at present that the control of respiratory diseases by the ordinary methods of preventive medicine is extremely difficult under modern conditions of civilization. Large numbers of people are constantly thrown into intimate contacts, assembling the great crowds at entertainments and sports, eating in tremendous eating places, traveling

See if you can find a method of play that will give North and South six tricks. The solution is printed herewith.

The Solution

IN this problem some very unusual but equally essential leading and discarding occurs to bring about the proper result. South leads the ace of clubs and North discards the deuce of diamonds. South next leads the ten of spades, which West wins with the jack. West must now- lead a diamond or a trump. If he leads a diamond, North wins the trick and South discards the king of spades. North then leads a trump and South discards the ace of spades. Now North’s spades will win the last three tricks. If West leads a trump to the" third trick, North wins it and South the king of spades. North then., leads a diamond and South discards *4he ace of spades.

to and from their places of employment. A single germ cause for the cold has not been determined at present. Investigators incline rather to the belief that various germs which may produce these symptoms are constantly in the nose, throat and respiratory tract generally, and that they seize upon the body when it is in a poor condition to resist disease. It generally is believed that an acid condition of the body favors the infection, that bad anatomical construction In the nose and throat may aid the establishment of the germs, that bad ventilation, including pr •- ticularly dryness of the atmosphere, may play a large part. Constipation may be associated with conditions in the body leading to lowered resistance. The prevention of colds therefore involves primarily observations of simple rules of hygiene in relationship to diet, clothing, exercise and rest, and avoidance so far as possible of immediate contact with persons who may be suffering with respiratory disease.

THIS story of Thomas A.

One can see how even the most highly combustible Romeo would be handicapped In singing “Oh Fair Dove!” to a Juliet chewing either plug or fine-cut.

Again North's three spades the final tricks. Os course it seems ridiculous to lead a ten when holding the ace and king, and when opponent holds only a singleton jack. And it seems equally ridiculous later to discard that ace and king. But there is no other way of solving this problem.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY (Copyright, Scripps-Howard Newspapers, 19281 WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—AntiAmerican agitation is rising in Porto Rico and diminishing in the Philippines. This is indicated by annual reports on the two dependencies by Major General Frank Mclntyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, war department, made public here. The famous “give us liberty or give us death” message sent by the Porto Rican legislature to President Coolidge through Colonel Lindbergh is cited as indicative of the critical attitude toward the United States’ refusal to grant autonomy to that Island. But the Filipinos are more contented than formerly, in the judgment of this army chief. Improved economic conditions are reported for the Philippines. The Mclntyre report on economic conditions in Porto Rico has been outdated by the September hurricane. Senator Bingham, chairman of the interested senate committee, stated yesterday, when leaving the island, that five years would be required to put the impoverished planters on their feet. He suggested a $10,000,000 reconstruction loan by congress. It Is estimated that property Josses amount to $50,000,000 and that 70 per cent of the rural population are sufferer*. m m k IN contrast to she "critical campaign” against the Washington government carried on by Porto Ricans “in Porto Rico, in the United States and in Latin-America,” McIntyre says of the Filipinos: “It would be difficult to find a more contented body of people Or one with fewer causes of grievances.” The report ignores the Independence agitation. The war department is especially pleased with the work of the new governor-general, Colonel Henry L. Stimson, in obtaining co-operation of native politicians. The following evidence of this is given: 1. The Philippine legislature, while objecting to a bill In the United States congress for salaries of advisers to the governor-general, has itself made such appropriations as more in line with its desire for greater automony. 2. Nomination of a cabinet chosen after consultation with native officials. 3. Institution of a quasi-parlia-mentary system in both houses of the legislature, giving cabinet members floor privileges for speaking and answering questions, 4. Creation of a council of state to advise with the governor-general, consisting of the presiding officers and majority floor leaders of both houses of the legislature. “This has been an excellent year for the Philippine government and for the Philippine people,” the report states. “The finances are in excellent condition, public order is good, the conditions of health and sanitation have improved steadily, and the statistics of production and trade bear evidence of continued progress. The general interest of the people in educational progress still is maintained. tt a >t “GOVERNOR GENERAL STIMVJ SON has recommended a revision of the corporation law, the public utilities law and the land law. “In 1927 the revenues exceeded the expenditures of government by more than $1,500,000, and the balance sheet of the government! showed a surplus of about $3,500,000. Total trade of the islands in 1927 showed an increase of more than $15,000,000 (more than 6 per cent) over 1926, the trade with the United States increasing about 9M- per cent. “The imports into the islands dropped from $119,000,000 to $115,850,000, the significant feature being the heavy decline in the Importation of rice, due to the large increase in local production. "The importation of iron and steel, autmobiles, meat, and silk registered sharp increases, one of the many indications of the Increasing prosperity of the people,” according to the Mclntyre report.
