Raising the Tariff Dike Tariff revision, it appears, will not be as simple as some of those who advocated it had expected. Originally, the idea was that the tariff was to be readjusted as a measure of farm relief. Instead of lowering the tariff to permit farmers to buy the products of industry more cheaply, as the senate advocated in a resolution a year ago, the idea was accepted that the better method would be to increase the tariff on agricultural products. There would, also, be certain other “adjustments” for the benefit of a few industries which were suffering most from foreign competition. Politicians of both parties made good use of this argument during the campaign. It pleased the farmers, and the tariff beneficiaries as well. Now, after six weeks of hearings before the house ways and means committee, it is apparent that it manufacturers nave their way a tariff will be established which will make the Fordney-McCumber schedules look like free trade. A procession of representatives from almost every major industry has appeared before the committee, bemoaning the ruinous effects of foreign competition and demanding greater protection. Listening to them, you would believe American prosperity is entirely mythical, and that manufacturing is profitless. Farmers naturally have asked higher duties on all soil products, since the revision presumably was initiated in their behalf. House and senate leaders, and, it is believed, Herbert Hoover are becoming apprehensive at the prospect of a general revision upward, which in many instances would establish practical embargoes. And weP they may he. Probably they can prevent it, but this is by no means sure. Every group seeking favors is well represented in congress, and the opportunities for trading votes are infinite. The problems that are arising from this presumably simple task are of far-reaching importance. There is danger that the farmers may be bamboozled and find themselves no better off than before. Higher duties on things the farmer buys would tend to nullify the rather dubious benefits of higher agricultural tariffs. And there is a direct conflict of interest which threatens to bring producers and manufacturers to grips. The shoe people would tax importations, but they do xt'A want to give the farmer a tariff on hides. Manufac ;urers of industrial alcohol oppose a duty or. black strap molasses, which the farmers demand. Tire and thread manufacturers argue against the tariff on long staple cotton, which the improverished growers of the southwest insist they must have. And so on. Also, the question of what would be the effect on business of prohibitive tariff barriers is beginning to cause concern. Prices inevitably would rise, which would react on buying power, and create a demand for higher wages. Other problems affect foreign relations. How can America collect dividends and interest on investments and loans abroad if the importation of goods is impossible? Will foreign nations retaliate through higher tariffs and cartels and injure our foreign trade? What will be the effect on the Philippines, Hawaii and Cuba if their ugar industry is crippled? How can we expand our Latin-American trade if we impose heavy duties ‘on their produce, such as bananas? All in all, tariff tinkering is a fruitful source of trouble. So far the only voice that has not been raised in the cry for favors is that of the consumer. Whatever the outcome, it is a safe bet that he will bear the brunt of any changes made. Chicago and Crime Chicago and Cook county, in which the city is located, have about as complicated a system of police protection as can be found anywhere, and conditions Chicago now faces are due to the intimate connection between the various police systems and politics—mighty vicious politics at that. First there is the police department of the city of C.iicago, controlled by the mayor. Then there is an army of deputy sheriffs controlled by the sheriff. The state’s attorney of Cook county has a small army of detectives immediately under his control. There are three sets of park police appointed and controlled by the north, south and west side park boards. One park board is made up of commissioners appointed by the circuit judges, the two others by commissioners appointed by the Governor of the state. The city government does not control park police. Present conditions grew up under the administration of Governor Len Small, Mayor Thompson, State’s Attorney Crowe and a working combination between the Republican Crowe-Barrett machine and the Democratic machine, first bossed by Roger Sullivan and later by George Brennan. There was joint political control of the parks and the sanitary district, the latter named having an army of political job holders. Only recently it was learned that some members of the state legislature were on the sanitary district pay roll—some Democrats and some Republicans. There was joint control of the tax boards, with all the influence that goes with the power to raise Dr lower the value of property for taxation of big taxpayers. The head of the board of tax review was in the retail coal business and in position to favor big customers who were also big taxpayers and even to punish big taxpayers who made bold to oppose the bosses politically. The enormous hauls made by bootleggers and others who profited by helping the citizenry of Chicago violate prohibition laws enabled them to make liberal campaign contributions and to wield a powerful influence in government. The criminal element gained protection, and the political government gained financial and political support from the underworld. The defeat of former Mayor Dever and the return to power of Big Bill Thompson was due to the fact that Dever, though not a prohibitionist, put some of the beer barons out of business—among them influential Democratic supporters. When Dever was mayor he tried to give Chicago an honest administration, but, being surrounded by crooked politicians in his own party, had to work to large extent with crooked tools, and the vicious element In his own party combined with the same element In the Republican party to throw Dever out and boost Thompson in. This alliance between politics and crime was years In building up. It isn’t strange that crookedness at the top worked its way all down through the city and county governments, including deputy

sheriffs, county and city detectives and policemen, and that a police system developed that protected the criminal instead of the law-abiding citizen. Nor is it strange that gangsters, racketeers, bootleggers, and the criminal element generally were bold in their defiance of law and still are. Probably the citizens of no great city ever tackled a tougher job than the one now under way in Chicago. The mo ;to of Chicago is “I will,” and if her citizens are determined to clean house they probably will. Tacna-Arica Peaceful settlement of the Tacna-Arica dispute, which has threatened the peace of South America so often and so long, is rumored in Santiago. The report may be premature. But there seems no reason to doubt that Peru and Chile finally are getting together. Chile is expected to receive Arica province and the important Arica-La Paz railroad, with Peru receiving Tacna province and the less important AricaTacna road. Apparently Bolivia is not to get her long-sought outlet to the sea. The world will welcome the prospective removal of this war cause. So long as two of the chief South American nations nursed a feud, all of the western hemisphere was affected. But there is a special lesson in this for the United States. We set out to settle the quarrel of our neighbors and nearly got hurt in the process. Only luck and astute maneuvering enabled us to back out and run with a minimum of damage. The Hughes-Harding-Coolidge plan for an arbitral award was all right on paper, but a major blunder in practical diplomacy. The attempt to hold a plebiscite in the disputed territory under American auspices was worse. General Pershing and his successor, General Lassiter, were condemned to failure in advance. When the plebiscite was called off, not only was the old quarrel left unsettled and magnified, but United States prestige was lowered seriously throughout Latin America. An explanation of our blundering willingness to interfere was that we feared that otherwise the dispute would go to the League of Nations or some European agency for settlement. That may be a good explanation, but it is poor justification. We should have learned from this experience that the best method of settling international quarrels is by direct negotiations between the disputants, with only unofficial and Informal mediation by outsiders. That failing, the next best method is settlement through a recognized International court or mediating agency, representing a group of neutrals. In this day of international organizations, it Is rarely helpful or expedient for the United States or any other one government to try to act alone as a peacemaker. That applies to Nicaragua as well as to TacnaArica, The Kellogg treaty seems to have overlooked the little matter of gas and electric light franchises as a cause of war. Men at 45 should begin to disappear, cays Sir Arthur Keith. But that’s just when most of them begin to expand. A Minneapolis man sued because his cigaret light er wouldn’t work. It is interesting to note that somebody really bought a cigaret lighter that he didn't give to a friend. If you have nothing else to be thankful for, anyway you’re not the son of the man who want sto name the United States “Unlstacla.”

■ - David Dietz on Science ______ Fluid Haze of Light No. 287 ,

WHILE Immanuel Kant, the great German philosopher, was the first to suggest a theory for the evolution of the solar system from a gaseous nebula, the name of Laplace is usually connected with the so-called nebular hypothesis. This is because when Kant advanced his theory in 1754 it attracted practcially no attention.

Laplace believed that the solar system began as a great, heated, rotating nebula. Contraction, he believed, caused it to assume the form of a great blazing globe. He imagined, however, that as further contraction went on, the matter around the equatorial region of the globe would fail to contract. In time, this would result in a globe surrounded by a great ring of gaseous material. But Laplace thought that this ring of material would be unstable and that it would break up and then through gravitational attraction, collect into a second smaller globe. This globe in its turn would go through the process of forming an equatorial ring which would break up and form a third globe. Laplace imagined that this process went on until all the planets and their satellites had been cast in this fashion. The original central globe, of course, became the sun. Tennyson, the great English poet, summed up Laplace’s theory in beautiful lines, when he wrote: “This world was once a fluid haze of light, Till toward the center set the starry tides And eddied into suns, that wheeling cast The planets, then the monster, then the man.” The march of science, however, has made it necessary to abandon both the theory of Laplace and of Kant, though we feel today that Kant’s theory was the b-itter of the two. We feel certain today that a great rotating nebular mass would never behave the way Laplace imagined. Many astronomers feel that it is quite likely that stars have their origin in the condensation of a nebula. They believe, however, that when a split takes place in such a condensing nebula, the result is a double or triple star, and not, as Kant thought, a star or sun surrounded by a system of planets.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: u Why Not a Riviera of Our Own. if It Does Include a Little Gambling ?”

SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 23.—Sar Diego has about quit shouting for factories, which is distinctive enough to be refreshing, no mattei what one may think of it in othei respects. Time was when San Diego, or a sizeable section of it at least, hoped prayed and fought to become another San Francisco or New York when the "smokestack” party called for pay rolls, while the "geranium’ party called on high heaven to preserve the peace and the posey beds A bitter struggle while it lasted with neighbors declining to speak trade with each other, or support the same missionary project, bul settled by fate, rather than human intelligence, in the form of climate, cash, prohibition, above all else, the proximity of Mexico. There was a fine harbor, to be sure, but little prospect of developing railroad routes over the high mountains, plenty of raw material for manufacturing, but a scant supply of fuel and lots of land, but no water with which to irrigate it. a a a Peace and Pleasure THE people who came here, came to play, not to work. They might speculate a bit, but they had no stomach for money grubbing. Most of them had made their piles, and were content to let it go at that. What they sought was peace, with a little harmless pleasure on the side. They liked the even :emperature, the almost continuous sunshine, and, after prohibition came into effect, the nearness of Tia Juana. You probably have heard a lot about Tia Juana, some is true, more of it mere press agent stuff, all of it centering around the idea that one could see thnigs, do things and get things within thirty minutes’ ride of San Diego that one could not see, do or get anywhere else this side of the Riviera. it tt it Our Own Riviera IN the beginning, Ha Juana was just one more “tough spot” on the border, one more aggregation of barrrooms, curio shops, and made to order vice. Moralists held up their hands in holy horror, but the crowds grew bigger. Shrewd Americans saw the opportunity, put up a million dollars, organized a Mexican corporation and produced Augua Caliente. Why not? France has 116 pleasure resorts. They largely are supported by Americans. Last year they paid the French government $16,000,000 as its share of the profit. For two generations Monte Carlo has flourished on Yankee cash. Why not a Riviera of our own, even if it does include a little gambling just over the line. ana At the Casino AGUA CALIfNTE is two miles south of Tia Juana. It consists of a hotel, a casino and scores of bungalows, all done in the mission style, with white stucco walls, red tile roofs and bright blue, or green trim. The grounds are kept scrupulously, the interior decorations exquisite and the atmosphere subdued. No man can enter the casino without checking his hat—a simple rule, but wonderfully effective in keeping out undesirables. Once inside the casino, visitors are permitted to wander about freely, make the sky the limit, or do most anything provided they observe the conventions of police secrecy. Roulette, black jack, and dice are the recognized games. The casino is built around a court which is used for an outdoor dining room. It also contains an inside dining room which can be converted into a dance hall. a a a Profits of Gambling AGUA Caliente is said to have taken in as much as $400,000 within a single week and to have netter a profit of $68,000 during the Labor day week-end. Its stock which originally was offered at $lO par value now moves readily at SSO and the work of doubling the capacity of its hotel is under way. It goes without saying that such an enterprise does much to attract people to San Diego, especlall as transient visitors, but it should not be regarded as more than an incident in the city’s life or prospects. San Diego is pretty thoroughly sold on the idea that it is a place where people come to enjoy themselves, whether they come for a week, a winter or the rest of their Jives. Enjoyment, as sought by average Americans, includes vastly more than gambling, or even golf. u a * Wholesome Spending SAN DIEGO is a town of about 125.000. It has no industry in the usual sense of the word, but it has a 1,400-acre park, which is beautifully landscaped, and which contains an amazing variety of flowers, shrubs and trees. It has a museum which would do credit to a city three times its size, and which contains one of the most graphic and complete studies in evolution to be found anywhere. 'lt has a 150-acre zoo, which rambles over a most picturesque group of hills and canyons, with cleverly designed grc-rtos, enormous bird eages, miniature reproduction of famous dams and such a collection of furred and feathered specimens as is to be found in few places. These enterprises and many more like them originated through and are largely maintained by private subscriptions. They offer impressive evidence that people who have retired, want peace, or are looking for real pleasure, and wholesome, constructive ways in which to spend their time and moneyV

The Marquis Pierre Simon De Laplace, evidently unaware of Kant’s theory, advanced one of his own in 1796. This theory though inferior to Kant’s in many ways, captured the imagination of the scientific world, and under the name of the nebular hypothesis, has reigned for more than a century.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and es Hrreia. the Health Matatlnc. ALL over the world the increase in the number of motor accidents is arousing concern among legislators and statesmen. The chief physical defect which may incapacitate a motor driver is that having to do with the eyes, although there are other physical infirmities which may cause serious trouble. In a survey of the subject, Dr. W. 1L Crisp points out that it would seem advisable to require that liO person subject to epileptic attacks should be allowed to drive an automobile, and that very deaf people are appreciably less safe as drivers than those who hear well. A nervous, jumpy, easily frightened driver is often to blame for motor accidents, yet no one knows any means by which nervous, jumpy, easily excited people can be kept from driving motor cars. Anything which interferes with good vision is likely to be a serious handicap. People who have only one eye or who can see with only one eye are commonly regarded as unsafe, for the simple reason

that their fields of vision are limited and they are not able to see objects approaching except from one side. Some people who can see well by day suffer from night blindness. People who suffer constantly with eyestrain have occasional blind spells when they are momentarily unable to see anything. In Belgium an authority named Weekers urged the establishment of a list of physical defects which should disqualify a person for driving an automobile and a long list of penalties for such, people in case they happen to be driving a car with resulting accidents. The other remedy offered is that insurance companies insist on adequate preliminary medical examination of all persons seeking insurance on motor cars, and that they have in their contracts clauses to render the contract void if persons having physical defects get into accidents. Among a list of physical qualifications relating to the eye are included certain limits of visual ability, a field of vision for every eye approximating the normal, and disqualifications for one-eyedness,

Fellowship in Prayer

Topic for the Week “LENT AND BfY WORK” Memory Verse for Saturday “Ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”---(John 16:20.) (Read: John 16:16 to 24.) MEDITATION—My sorrow is ever with me. I would have it so. To forget would be a shameful disloyalty. There is a strange comfort in remembering and grieving. It assures me that love is triumphant over death. Sorrow Is not a mere passing episode; it Is an initiation into anew and higher order of life whose mysteries were hid till sorrow came and opened our eyes. “ Tis sorrow building the shining ladder up, Whose golden rounds are our calamities, whereon Our feet firm planting, nearer God the Spirit climbs, And has its eyes unsealed.” PRAYER—O Lord, support us all the day long of this troublous life until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is over and our work is done. Then of Thy great mercy grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace

Q. —What is the cause of the jaw slipping out of place and what can be done to prevent It?

A.—Sometimes the jaw slips out of place due to unusual violence such as results from pushing or pulling, sometimes from attempting to get too large a piece of meat or fruit into the mouth at one time, and sometimes from yawning too heartily. Os course if the joint is not quite normal In its construction so that the socket which holds the bone is shallow, It will slip out easier. Indeed, some people are able to dislocate and reset the joint of the jaw at will.

"What’s your hurry?” asked the priest. “Going back to America to get ready for the next war.” “Who are you going to fight?

With your proposal of a national 'The Kind Day’ and with the general thesis I am in hearty accord. “I believe that an attitude of kindliness, sympathy and justice is the most important element in any religious and ethical system which is to be applied to human material. Yet we have to face many difficult and complicated problems in our twentieth century civilization which the mere spirit of kindliness can scarcely solve.
