The Price of Bigness We Americans Justly pride ourselves on our size and strength. Our country, with Alaska, can boast of an area more than three and a half million square miles, approximately as large as all Europe. Our population exceeds one hundred twenty millions. But bigness exacts its penalties. One is the increased difficulty of general law enforcement. To secure enthusiastic popular support, law must grow out of custom and public opinion. It must be truly -anctioned. But custom and public opinion are essentially ectlonal, while federal law is general. The United states is not, in life and culture, a unit. It is a eduction of sections. Some differ from others ecoiomically. in modes of life and morals, as sharply as France differs from Rumania. The job of harmonizing a uniiorm law with that ultural diversity has been one of the great problems j( American statesmanship, from the days of the tamp act to the Jones act. Certain federal laws, which the bulk of people feel to be for the good ol all, will be accepted. Those which bear with altogether different weight upon different sections will be ignored, or enforced only partially. Such laws invariably intensify local pride and Jealousy. Attempts at rigid application produces local resentment and resistance. It is believed by many that the states’ rights philosophy was a very special and unusual phenomenon in American history. Our whole history gives the lie to such a notion. States’ rights was not a sinistei policy of the south, begotten by a passion for human slavery. States’ rights has flared up invariably when sectional interests and prejudices have been inflamed by federal interference. It has appeared more frequent in the north than in the south. It always has endangered our national stability, and three times it has led to armed rebellion. First came the refusal of the various colonies to contribute to the various colonial wars. Even the Albany congress of 1754 failed to bring about a general acceptance of a unified policy, in spite of common danger from Indians and French. Then came the American revolution, because England Insisted upon enforcing legislation which ran entirely counter to local interests. Next Hamilton's excise bill of 1791 struck at the very livelihood of the farmers in western Pennsylvania,* where transportation difficulties made it impossible to market corn in any form save as whisky. The whisky rebellion oi 1794 resulted. Sensitivity of the federalists and John Adams to criticism led to the passage of the alien and seditions laws. They were answered by the nullification doctrines of Kentucky and Virginia, which had been engineered by Jefierson and Madison, and by occasional violent opposition to law enforcement. The commercial policies ot Jefferson and Madison in nonintercourse, embargo and Hie War of 1812 were a severe blow at New England shipping. This led to resentment which culminated in the Hartford convention late in 1814. Here, in the very time oi war. the followers of Timothy Pickering were plotting nullification and secession. Only close of the war prevented serious trouble. Dispute over the early tariffs led South Carolina to declare for nullification in 1882 Had other states joined or had Jackson been less prompt and severe in his reaction, secession or civil war might have then ensued. The controversy over slavery led both north and south to fall back upon the states’ rights strategy. Northern citizens asserted their right to defy the fugitive slave laws. The south, through the Dred Scott case, denied the right of the federal government to limit the extension of slavery. Since the Civil war the south has maintained and secured its right to state or sectional autonomy in handling the vote and life of the Negro. Post-Civil war amendments have not been enforced, yet neither the Constitution nor the social order has collapsed. One of Abraham Lincoln’s most famous remarks was that a house divided against itself can Dot stand. Obviously, this is true only when the division is suiflciently deep seated, violent and Intense as to wreck the body politic. Asa matter of fact, we always have been a house divided against Itself. We shall always continue to be so as long as we are a vast nation compounded of diverse sections. In most cases the attempt to force an unreal and artificial unity has only provoked further division. And in all that you have the historical background of today's most controversial question—prohibition. This newspaper believes that the only ultimate solution is in the application of the principle of states’ rights, or home rule, or local option, or whatever term may be chosen to describe the process by which the law may be made to fit the will of the community. Youthful Criminals There is an old saying that the devil finds plenty for idle hands to do. All students of the crime problem today admit that much the largest contribution to the increase of criminals comes from the loafing scions of middleclass families. These parents are too proud to put their children immediately to work, but are not able to give them ample spending money. The youth goes out to get his own. Once one of these adolescent stickup men, forgers >r racketeers is arrested and shipped off to the hoose;ow there is little hope of reclaiming him. He has acquired the taste for crime. The reformatory or >enitentiary usually only increases his talent in delinquency. The problem is prevention. Certainly the first step is the destruction of the whole psychology of the leisure class which has represented honest labor as unbecoming and has identified cial respectability with idleness. But work must be made more attractive and remnerative Many grammar and high schools todas urn out students to be idle gentlemen rather than ompetent artisans or professional or business men. An adequate vocational system of education will do more to reduce crime and poverty than all our hyserical denunciation of the so-called crime wave. Our schools also should provide a well-planned cheme of training in citizenship. When our youth'are taught to want to work, when ihey are fitted to work, and when they get a real of the responsibilities of citizenship, we shall ri our way to solution not only of the crime probbut of moat ol our social and economic problems.

The Farm Future With the tariff bill nezring passage by the senate, it seems unlikely that higher rates will be of any real benefit to the farming industry, at least for a long time. The agriculture schedules are not as high as the farmers wanted. Any possible benefit from increases has been offset largely by higher rates on industrial products. If the farmer gets more money for what he sells, he will have to pay more for what he buys. “No material change from recent levels of total farm income seems in prospect for the next five years,” said a recent statement of the bureau of economics of the department of agriculture. “However, the longtime tendency for prices of agricultural products to advance in relation to prices of nonagricultural products probably wall continue.” The bureau warned against overproduction, predicted a slackening demand for farm products, because of business conditions, and urged farmers to estimate their probable income on the basis of the price outlook for each of their products. Prices for the 1930 wheat crop are expected to remain about at last year’s level, and no hope of gain is held out for any major crop Chairman Legge of the farm board similarly has warned against the dangers of, overproduction, and has urged a 10 per rent cut in wheat acreage. The iarm board, meantime, is pushing ahead with commendable vigor in attempting to administer the farm act, co-operatives are being organized and financed for wheat, cotton and other commodities, as rapidly as the board can set up machinery. Numerous loans have been made to various marketing organizations. The work necessarily is slow. It is clear that the renabilltation of agriculture, and the attempt to bring it nearer to an economic parity with industry, is going to be a long and. laborious process. Why Censorship Is Silly If statesmen could learn a few simple facts about human nature, so much trouble would be avoided, including the promised uproar in the senate on the matter of shutting out “obscene” and "treasonable” literature from the United States. Senator Reed Smoot, who shudders with fright at the thought of what may happen if people generally read outspoken books, and Senator Bronsoi Cutting, who dreads the result of censorship, share a general respect for decency and the existing form of government. Neither wants to make it easy ior impressionable young people to get books that might harm them. Neither, it may be presumed, thinks adult scientists should be deprived of the results of foreign research upon sex. Neither wishes to encourage revolution. But Cutting seeks to take into account, in legislating. the ineradicable curiosity of men and women, youth and age, about things forbidden. Smoot, disregarding that basic trait of the species, is in a fair way to defeat his own ends if he succeeds in writing the law he wants. Most of the books about which the battle will be fought can be obtained in this country. Even though they may not be brought in they may be reprinted, and when they are reprinted it usually is in a cheap form, making them more, instead of less, accessible to the public. With this problem the states are dealing in their own ways. A federal law, in addition to handicaping students of medicine, psychology and political science, only can serve to attract attention to forbieden fruit and enhance its charm. That has been its effect in the immediate past, as witnessed by the popularity of “All Quiet on the Western Front.” That will continue to be Its effect in the future. It is suggested that any one who is doubtful try making a concealing gesture with perfectly empty hands.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

All the Governments Favor Disarmament if It Does Not Interfere With Their Plans. FRANCE is willing to abolish battleships because she prefers submarines. England and the United States are willing to abolish submarines, because they prefer something else. England demands parity with the United States by agreement, because that is the only way she can hope to maintain it. Japan is willing to help France and Italy get what they want, if they will help her get what she wants. The United States is ready for reduction along any line provided it leaves her with a navy as big as England’s and bigger than that of any other nation. In other w r ords, all five governments represented at the naval parley are in favor of disarmament if it does not interfere with their traditional standing, present plans, or future hopes. tt a a It is reasonable to expect that the parley may result in some saving to taxpayers, though not without causing them trouble to find employment for sailors, shipwrights, mechanics and experts who would lose their jobs. But what the powwow represents as a war preventive is clearly revealed by the fact that no one dares to mention airplanes, poison gas, or even the standing army. As far as effective fighting machinery goes, this conference hardly can leave the civilized world much worse off. xr * a Step in Right Direction EVEN if its most hopeful schemes are put into effect, the great governments concerned still would be in good position to start wholesale murder over night. The best that can be said of it is that it sets a precedent for conferring on the proposition of limiting arms in one particular phase. Though that promises little for the immediate future, if does represent a. tentative step in the right direction, because it was something that great governments never thought of doing until the last few years. tr an Big Bill Thompson says that he is not to blame for Chicago being broke. He says the reformers did it—the men who organized to stop gang rule and racketeering. He says also that the state of Illinois must pull Chicago out of the mud. All of which is very interesting, but not the most significant aspect of Chicago's sad plight. n n tt Let This Be Warning WHAT has happened to Chicago can happen to any American City, with the requisite amount of incompetence, graft and corruption. There is nothing about a city which puts it beyond bankruptcy in a financial or moral way. If we have grown to look upon cities as capable of withstanding the effects of lawlessness and malcontent, it is largely because we still have the power of self-illusion-ment. Instead of regarding Chicago as strange, exceptional, or different from our own community in fundamental respects, we should take its present condition as a warning of what can happen anywhere, and what is bound to happen if average citizens neglect their duty. a u tt Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but of good order and so”! 1 progress. Big Bill is. right in denying responsibility for the fact that Chicago clerks and school teachers are living on the bounty of loan sharks, but he is wrong in trying to pass the buck to the reformers. Neither he nor they are to blame, because neither he nor they would be where they are except for a public attitude which regarded the politics of this great city as a good show’, a five-reel thriller, a comedy that represented little more than something to laugh at. nun Boost at Wrong Time OUR attitude toward government, whether national, state or political, is much like our attitude toward prohibition. We’re all in favor of it for the other fellow, and we’re all glad to support it, if we don’t have to do anything. We take politics much as we take football, or a prize fight, ready to chip in and yell from the bleachers when a contest is on. At other times, we are not particularly concerned, but if we only know it, those are the times that count. Those are the times when the deficit accumulates, when the necessity for a bond issue arises, and when graft gets in its good work. Those are the times when the average citizen ought to be watching, but they generally find him doing everything but. That is what ails Chicago, and that is what is beginning to ail a I good many other places in America.

It is true that the prophets so far picked are wiser than I. but also, they are older. At least the men are. They speak of a city which they will never see. On the other hand, I am aware of no reason why I should not be here in 1980. That is, unless the city authorities decide to take steps about it. Every Utopia must be cut to the individual n°eds.

Kauffman remarked, “Wouldn’t it be terrible if Harpo Marx died and went to heaven and had the man at the gate hand him a harp as he came in?” # >t Noble Experiment Accordingly, i shall speculate about my New York of 1980. It may not be yours. What will the average speakeasy of our town be like in that year? I seem to see a brownstone house which is entered by the basement gate. Indeed, there is a long room with tables decorated with celery and olives. To the rear is a small bar, and over it a sign reading, “We positively cash no checks.” Yet this is 1980, and the time must ! work some changes. Let us watch ! the gentleman and the young womI an at the door, who are applying 1 for admission. An Italian comes to the gate and says. “You got a card?” “No,” replies the applicant. “You know Charlie Duckworth, or Bob Beasley, maybe?” inquires the proprietor, hopefully, but the man outside shakes his head. “All right,” says the speakeasy owner, “come on in, anyway. I got a nice table for you near the bar.” Possibly the most amazing thing about New’ York in 1980 is that the aforementioned Italian and his friends and associates in business still will be fetching pre-war Scotch up out of the cellar. Science, you see, will have made great advances. an Kitchen Police MOST of the prophets seem to feel that the shorter working | day will be with us in the future. By 1980 I expect a four-day week, with a toiling time of about two hours. The machine will have come of age, and the greater part of industry will consist merely of pressing buttons and pulling gadgets. Still, a certain amount of hard and unpleasant labor will remain, and this will be divided up among all able-bodied citzens. Naturally, certain injustices will creep in.

LAUNCHING OF MONITOR Jan. 30. ON Jan. 30, 1862, the Monitor, the first succesful ironclad vessel in the history of the United States navy , was launched at Greenspoint, L. I, The Doat, was so oddly constructed (it resembled a pillbox on a float) that it was ridiculed as impractical, as was its designer, John Ericsson. Public feeling, however, abruptly changed on March 9. On this date Ericsson's squat craft met the Merrimac, one of the most powerful vessels of the Confederate fleet, and forced it to retreat in a disabled condition. The rejoicing in the north was great, as the Merrimac w T as regarded ther as a constant menace to northern ports. Two months after this victory the Monitor, with other Federal vessels, made an unsuccessful attempt to capture Richmond. The famous ship ended its career on Dec. 31, 1862, when It floundered in a storm off Hatteras and sank with four officers and seventeen men. This date in history also commemorates the attempt of Richard LawTence, maniac, to assassinate President Jackson in 1835; the signing in 1897 of the treaty with England settling the Alaskan boundary dispute, and the airplane flight in 1911 of J. A. D. McCurdy from Key West to Havana.

more than two weeks, it is advisable to consult a competent physician and not to attempt to cause it to heal by treating it with caustics or similar methods. Cancer of the mouth, if seen early and treated by surgical removal or radium, can be stopped with little pain or discomfort. On the other hand, cancer tends to spread if not treated, and once it has affected the glands of the neck, the cure becomes problematical, if not impossible. In cancer of the month, as in all other forms, the slogan must be, in the light of our present knowledge, early diagnosis and removal.

SCIENCE By DAVID DIETZ

Famed Anthropologist Relieves Present-Day Man Is the Development From a Crude Forerunner of the Glacial Age. PRESENT day man—Homo Sapiens as the scientist calls him —was forged from a crude forerunner by the rigors of the glacial age. This is the theory of Dr. Ales Hrdlicka. famous anthropologist of the Smithsonian institution. Dr. Hrdlicka's theory upsets the generally accepted notion about the so-called Neanderthal man. the type of man who inhabited Europe just prior to the appearance of the earliest known ancestors of present day man. It must be remembered that th§ very early history of mankind is shrouded in great mystery. Almost nothing is known about the beginning of the human race. There are only two authenticated fossils, the so-called PUtdown man. The age of these two fossils estimated differently by various authorities, some placing them at less than a half million years, others at more than a million. We have nothing more to go by • in the way of skeletal remains until we find those of the type known as the Neanderthal man. However, there are evidences of human beings preceding Neanderthal man. These consist of stone implements, flint hammers or hatchets, rude borers and scrapers, bones of animals which have been spin to obtain the marrow within them, and piles of bones and refuse accumulations in front of caves. The ashes of hearth fires are also found near or in caves. an tt Cultures THE cultures older than those of Neanderthal man are called Chellean and Achulean, because typical examples of them have been found at Chelles-sur-Marne and St. Acheul, respectively. The culture of the Neanderthal man. which is superior to these preceding ones, is called Mousterian, because a typical example occurs at | Le Moustier. Mousterian culture was followed by one known as Aurignacian. No skeleton remains belonging to the start of the Aurignacian period have been found, but many belonging to the latter part are known. Neanderthal man, as judged from his skeleton remains, was short in stature, heavily built and possessed of brutish features. His forehead was low, his eyebrow ridges large and pronounced, his nose was large, his teeth large, his jaw heavy and with receding chin. The skeletons found in the Aurignacian period are essentially like those of present day man. The most important ones are those thought to have constituted a race named the Cromagnon. Cromagnon man was tall. He had a well-shaped head with high foreJ head and large brain capacity. It iis thought that he looked very much like the American Indian. The common assumption among archeologists is that Cromagnon and the other types of the Aurignacnia period represented a great invasion which came into Europe | and exterminated the Neanderthal . man. This is thought to be the | explanation of the sudden disap- ! pearance of Neanderthal man. However. Dr. Hrdlicka, points out | that Neanderthal man disappeared | at the height of the glacial age, the most unlikely of all times for an invasion of Europe. He also points out that a great | invasion would have been beyond ! the abilities or the organizing I powers of prehistoric man. tt tt tt Variatons DR. HRDLICKA recently has examined the skeletal remains of Neanderthal man and it is on this basis that he advances his theory that present day man, who first appears in the Aurignacian period, developed from Neanderthal man. Dr. Hrdlicka. points out that the sk ’Us and other bones of Neanderthal man shew a vast variation as to detail and that variation can be. put in sequence. This sequence advances from those least like modem man to those most like him. He points out further that great variations exist within single skeletons. "In one and the same skeleton are found parts and features that are very primitive and far away from man’s later types, with parts a nek features that are almost like the modern; and every skeleton is found to differ in these respects. "Here is facing us, evidently, a very noteworthy example of instability, an instability, plainly, of evolutionary nature, leading fror* old forms to more modem.” Dr. Hrdlicka believes that variations appeared in Neanderthal man because of the rigors of the glacial environments. The harshness of the environments intensified the struggle for exketence and the : working of natural selection. Asa result, he believes large varii atiens occurred in individuals. Only ; the individuals most fitted for the battle survived and so gradually, | according to Dr. Hrdlicka. modem i man arose from Neanderthal man. j He points out that the chief difj ferences between Neanderthal man and modern man l'e in the reduc- | tion of the muscles of the jaw and 1 body with consequent changes in ; the teeth, jaw, face and skull, and ! reduction of the eyebrow ridges. Such reductions. Dr. Hrdlicka inj sists, are still going on in the human race
