Senate Must Kill the Bill The United States senate must vote within a few days either to enact or to kill a tariff bill that contains disaster for the American people. The way was cleared late Monday afternoon. The senate, in effect, eliminated the two provisions it previously had written into the bill. One was the debenture you have read so much about. There isn’t much to be said in defense of the debenture, save that it attempted to give farmers an advantage similar to that given to certain industries. The present tariff bill having been concocted in a special session of congress called for farm relief, some senators—for a time a majority of them sought to carry out the purpose of the special session in that manner. But yesterday the vote was against them and the debenture went out. At the same time the senate abandoned its effort to keep the tariff bill within the limitations of the United States Constitution. By a vote of 43 to 42 the deciding vote being the Vice-President’s—it gave up its fight over the thing you’ve heard called the flexible clause. This leaves with the President, if the bill becomes law, the power to raise or lower the tariff schedule as he may desire. In other words, it puts in the President’s hands the powers of taxation, explicitly reserved to congress by the Constitution. It is difficult to see what the senate now can do except vote to kill the bilL The senate spent months endeavoring to improve it. Aside from the two features above described the senate voted numerous reductions in the indefensible rates written fey the house ways and means committee. These rates, for the most part, now have been restored by the house-senate conference committee. The full iniquity of the bill as it stands is understood by the senate. There are few senators who can vote for it without voting against their own intelligence. The senate—unlike the house—has given the bill serious study; it has gone through it, rate by rate, from beginning to end. Unfettered by administration gag rules that render the house dumb and reckless, the senate has discussed every item. The senate knows: That a vote for the bill is a betrayal of the official pledges of both the Republican and Democratic platforms. That it will add hundreds of millions of dollars to the annual cost of living in America. That it means a declaration of trade war with the rest of the world, thirty-three nations already having prepared to retaliate. That it will close the foreign markets on which our export trade and millions of our workers depend. That it will hamper mass production, shut down factories and increase the army of unemployed. That it will prevent the return of prosperity. Knowing these things—and it does know them—will the senate fail to kill the bill? The opportunity will come when the conference committee submits its report. The Nation Tarns a Corner It is always Just a little bit disheartening to discover that one left vouth behind. When you are young you can make any kind of plans you like. For all you know, they may come true some day. Anything at all can happen, and you can spin the wildest day dream-, imaginable without ever being tripped up by hard facts. But when you discover than your youth has evaporated you have to make the best of what you have. It’s not much use in making elaborate plans. The only thing left, is to size up the situation, see what the possibilities are and buckle down to make the most of ’em. That’s the way it is with most of us, anyway; and it is also the way, when you stop to think about it, with nations as well. All of this is brought i* mind by a more or less casual study of the current census figures. They seem to indicate that the United States, is leaving its youth behind and reaching maturity; and that, in turn, means that a very radical change in our national philosophy and habits of action is impending. Population growth is slewing down. Many and many a city finds itself short of the mark that it confidently expected to reach. Rural counties are, in many cases, actually shrinking. Experts predict that in two or three more decades the nation’s population will be practically stabilized. , All of this is going to have a profound effect. It means that the old pioneering, boom-town atmosphere is going to disappear and that a more sober, thoughtful philosophy will have to take its place if we are to avoid trouble. We have always been a nation of pioneers—even after our physical frontiers had been pushed to the west coast. Always there has been rapid growth. Any sort of city or town, almost, could look ahead to constant increase in size. A man's neighbors were always increasing in number. This affected our whole national character. It bred a blind optimism, a feeling that we could not spoil our chances, a conviction that ever-bigger things were bound to be always ahead of us. It made the

The drys used to be called "fanatics.” The situation has changed now. for fanaticism could go no further than some recent exhibitions on the part of the wets. Your own editorial ana news columns are entitled to special recognition in this regard. A recent editorial on the prohibition question sneered at the President of the United States, made thinly-veiled criticisms of the supreme court, and hurled defiance at all efforts to enforce the prohibition laws. In the issue of March 27 you carried a United Press dispatch from Omaha, under a headline "Not a Drv Vote,” in which it was stated that * tudents of Creighton university cast 244 votes for absolute repeal of prohibition laws, thirty-five for mociflcation and not a single vote for enforcement What neither the United Press nor The Times told your readers is that 279 votes is Just a fraction less than ner cent of the student body of university, which has a Rggllment of 2,935 students.

more than 3,000 students and instructors? Again, in the same issue you carry a headline "Purdue Votes Wet in Poll of Colleges,” but when we examine the figures we find that out of 4.000 students and 303 faculty members, 112 voted either for the law as it is or for stricter enforcement, 110 voted for modification, and fifty-four for repeal, or, in a college community of 4,300 persons, 222 voted for some form of the present law and only fifty-four voted for repeal. Yet you say "Purdue Votes Wet.” A sub-head to the same article reads, "Canvass of Fourteen Universities Reveals 3-1 Sentiment for Law Change,” following which you give the story of the Harvard "Crimson” poll. Why did you not tell youi readers that with the exception of Princeton, where drinking is traditional, in not a single instance did more than a fraction over half the college community vote in this pool, and tfiat in the case of Pittsburgh only 17.6 per cent voted, and only 16 per cent of the Harvard men voted?

Now the swing of the pendulum is slowing down. Things won’t be coming so easily hereafter. The old, slam-bang, full-speed-ahead system must give way to careful planning and wise forethought. The premium on restless energy will not be quite so high, and the demand for cool, analytical brain power will increase. In short, as a nation we are turning a corner. We are leaving kn era behind us, and a long process of readjustment lies ahead. It will take some real thinking and some scientific study to get us through it without discomfort. Herbert Croly In the death of Herbert Croly, the United States loses a leading liberal and publicist. For the time being he will be remembered chiefly as the founder and editor of the New Republic. His permanent reputation will rest rathe* upon his contributions to the problems of American democracy. Croly went deep into the problem. He recognized ffcat politics is but the result of the interplay of more profound economic, social and cultural forces. American democracy would succeed in proportion as democratic forms could be readapted to the changes in civilization which separated Thomas Jefferson from Mark Hanna. Croly’s “Promise of American Life” and “Progressive Democracy” were profound analyses of our institutions. He never lost his faith in the ability of democratic ideals to adapt themselves to the changing American culture. He believed that democracy must be guided by an informed public opinion. To help create this, he founded the New Republic in 1914. His life of Mark Hanna is a model of vivid political biography. His liberalism steered a middle course between the reactionaries and the radicals. Many think such liberalism is passing. Mencken and others think they have delivered its obituary. At any rate, Croly was a vigorous exponent of a great and historic American tradition. Secretary Hyde says that the farmer suffers because Americans eat less than did their fathers. Well, their fathers could take an appetizer Occasionally. Paul Hampden, son of the noted actor, is working in an automol ile factory in Flint, Mich. Even taking automobile parts is great training for the stage these days. It may have been somewhat emoar:assing to Edda Mussolini to have her father announce shortly after her marriage that Rome will have 2,000,000 inhabitants by 1950. One reason why Jack Dempsey going to Africa to hunt big game may be that he wants to show a dubious public that he can still lick his weight in wildcats. \

REASON

THE people are glad that President Hoover is to make a western trip this summer, and everybody will give him the glad hand, but notwithstanding the hospitality he must watch his step, for there will be a political sleuth behind every water tank, seeking to rip him up for something he says. a a a It was on such a pilgrimage across the country that the late President Taft laid the foundation for his political downfall, Winona, Minn., being the precise location of that oratorical fatality. It was there that he declared that the Payne-Ald-dich tariff law was the best ever mada and after that it was the political calla lily for Taft. a a a THE making of anew tariff law is the crucial test for a President, it having borne many of them gently to their finish, the most recent victims having been President Harrison in 1923 and President Cleveland in 1897, the first falling from favor because the KcKinley law was hailed as extortionate and the second vanishing from affection because the WilsonGorman law was charged with causing a panic. a a a Most presidential joy rides across country bring forth merely the ordinary platitudinous offerings of Presidents, but the late President Harrison amazed the people during his term by delivering speeches from the tail-end of his train which were and still are hailed as oratorical germs. a a a TO the person in the audience, fascinated by the power of the presidential office, President Hoover will seem to be having the time of his life as he steps to the rear platform as cannon boom, bands play, and people shout, but the other side of the picture is one of hard work and much turmoil. a a a There will be a constant string of reception committees, getting <n and getting off, telling the President just what to say and what not tof say in order to synchronize with local conditions, and that’s what kills. In addition to this, he wll have to sleep on the cars and the Lord never intended for any-' body to do that.

over Indiana, comparatively little drinking went on? Has the wet cause come to the point where facts must be suppressed, news stories falsely colored in the headlines and wrong conclusions drawn from the simplest figures in order to support editorial policy? The issue is deeper than prohibition. It is fundamentally a question of the integrity of the press and the truthfulness of our news purveyors. * JAMES A. CRAIN.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Planet Recently Found Now Believed to Be Different One Than Heavenly Body Whose Existence TFas Predicted by Lowell. THE new planet, discovery of 1 which was announced by the Lowell Observatory of Flagstaff, Ariz., on March 13, is not the Lowell planet, the planet beyond Neptune, whose existence was predicted more than a decade ago by the late Professor Perciva’. liOwell. That now is agreed generally by astronomers. Until the days of Sir William Herschel, only six planets were knows. On March 13, 1781, he discovered the seventh planet, which was named Uranus. Irregularities in the motions of Uranus led to the calculation by Adams, an Englishman, and Leverrier, a Frenchman, of the position of an eighth planet. On Sept. 23, 1846, Galle, a German, discovered the eighth planet, which was named Neptune. Professor Lowell, however, felt that all the irregularities in the orbit of Uranus could not be accounted for by Neptune. It was also suspected that there were some irregularities in the orbit of Neptune. This led him to calculate the position of a supposed trans-Neptunian planet. At first it w.is supposed that the astronomers at Flagstaff had located this planet and astronomers debated whether it should fee named after one of the Greek gods or after Lowell. But now, they are content to call it Planet X for the present. The “X” is the familiar letter used in algebra to represent an unknown quantity. a a a Billions IT is interesting to note that among the first to cast doubt upon the authenticity of the new planet were the astronomers of Flagstaff, who had made the discovery. To begin with, these astronomers had been extremely cautious in making their first announcement. They had the new planet under observation for several months before they told the world of their discovery. But a month after they had announced their discovery, Dr. V. M. Slipher, director of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, made a second announcement. The Flagstaff observers, with the aid of Dr. John A. Miller, director of the Sproul observatory, calculated an orbit for the new planet from observations made on Jan. 23, Feb. 23 and March 23. This was not enough data to give an exact orbit so they labeled their result a “preliminary orbit.” This preliminary orbit showed that Planet X had an orbit which was flattened out far more than that of any known planet. So great was the flattening of the orbit that it meant Planet X must sweep out into space more than 40,000,000,000 miles when it is farthest from the sun. It seems that Planet X now is about as close as it ever gets to the sun and about ready to turn out on its long journey away from the sun. One amazing result may be that it may disappear from view for several centuries. This may necessitate discovering it all over again, since it is doubtful if sufficiently accurate calculations can be made to predict when and where it will reappear. a a a Verdict THAT Planet X is not the transNeptunian planet predicted by Professor LoweJl was the verdict pronounced at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Science by Professor E. W. Brown of Yale university. That, as far as the astronomical world goes, settles the matter. For Professor Brown is the world’s greatest authority upon celestial mechanics. Professor Brown spent forty years of his life studying the motions Os the moon and formulating equations to express the result. He has made monumental studies of the motions of the satellites of Jupiter and performed other important tasks in the fields of mathematical astronomy. It appears, therefore, that the discovery of Planet X in the region where Lowell’s planet should be is only coincidence. But now the interesting question arises: What is Planet X? Some astronomers suggest that it might be a comet. Another suggestion is that it might be an asteroid. There are several thousand tiny planet-like bodies in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter. But if it is an asteroid, how did it get to the edge of the solar system? Professor Harlow Shapley of Harvard says that the preliminary orbit indicates that Planet X is a remarkable type of member of the solar system not comparable with known asteroids and comets and that its discovery may prove of greater importance than even the discovery cf the real Lowell planet.

Causes of Perspiration Are Varied

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the npHE average man who perspires -*• seldom gives any thought to the reason for the perspiration. Perspiration may be brought about ty work involving muscular exercise or by increasing the temperature of the surroundings or it may be associated with emotion or mental stress. Scientifically it has been believed for years that the chief purpose of perspiration is to regulate the temperature of the body. To determine whether or not sweat might have some other function, the Chinese investigator, Yas •Kuno, in the Manchurian Medical college, has been studying the problem for eight years. A selected portion of the body with a surface of about ten inches square was submitted to Various impulses and the amout of perspira-

IT SEEMS TO ME, ™ D

THE tariff never gets its fair share of attention from the average American because he has been led to believe that the whole thing is in some way magical and very complicated. ’Way back in the days of William McKinley, when the “full dinner pail” first came into the language of politics, the workingman was asked to believe that a Republican administration provided the honest toiler with roast beef sandwiches. It wasn't really roast beef, but actually bologna. We don’t hear so much about the full dinner pail any more. The more successful worker is not likely to be particularly grateful for the opportunity to eat out of a pail and the less successful one has no pail, full or otherwise. We know now *that even a high protective tariff is not a certain guarantee against hard times. a a a Higher the Fewer BUT the old method of thinking still prevails among the stalwarts and standpatters. Even now they are going on the assumption that if business is not altogether hotsy-totsy the trouble with the tariff must surely be that it isn’t high enough. Seemingly few have considered the thought that it might be the part of wisdom to try a lower one. Nor is this suggestion based merely on the law of averages. The notion is that in time of stress any change may be for the best. There is ample logic for the belief that the next tariff wall may bring about sv / ”'>cation rather than protection. It is well to remember that the same wall which keeps goods from coming in also is effective in pre-

MILL’S BIRTH

> May 20 ON May 20, 1806, John Stuart Mill, English philosopher and economist, and regarded as one of the foremost thinkers of his time was born in London. Taught’at home by his father, Mill is said to have begun the study of Greek at the age of 3. When he was 16 his father sent him to France to be educated. His stay there also gave him an intense interest in politics. On his return to London he entered the India house as a clerk in the examiner’s office, where his father was assistant examiner. He remained with the company for thirty-three years, and rose gradually until he became head of the political department. Mill took an active part in the political discussions that followed the revolution of 1830 in France and in the reform bill movement in England. He established his reputation, however, by publishing his philosophical work, “A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive.” The success of this work paved the way for his famous "Principles of Political Economy.”

tion discharged every five minutes was measured. He found that sweat could be caused by raising the temperature of the room, by heating one arm or one leg with a hot air pad, or by other outward application of increased temperature. When a leg is heated, sweat occurs not only on the leg, but on the whole body. The palms of the hand and the soles of the feet do not quite conform to the general rule. They are more profusely supplied with sweat glands than the rest of the body, but they do not sweat an increased amount when the body generally is heated, as do other portions of the skin. It is realized, of course, that at all times some water is secreted by the sweat glands in the form of what is called insensible perspiration. This evaporates without being seen.

venting them from going out. Our exports begin to dwindle. Why? The answer to that is simple enough. We haven’t as many customers as before. The situation would be simple enough if, instead of the word “trade,” the term “barter” was substituted. Suppose, for instance, there was no- such thing as money. In such a state of society we might send steel rails to England and get in return woolen goods. Our export wheat to Belgium might be paid for in their cement. Now, in effect, that is what does take place. The existence of money merely makes the process a little more remote. a a- a Nothing for Nothing THE balance of trade might be in our favor for a little while, but in the long run you can’t expect people who have nothing to sell to continue to buy.

Questions and Answers

Which word is correct in this sentence “with” or “by”? "The two magazines that I sent down with Frank,” or “the two magazines that I sfent down by Frank”? Either may be used. They are syononmous, meaning by means of. How many votes in the electoral college has the state of Texas? Twenty. What is Gene Tunney’s real name and when was he born? James Joseph Tunnney; born in New York, May 25, 1898. Who played the feminine lead opposite John Barrymore in the photoplay “Don Juan”? Mary Astor. How much do the largest elephants weigh; how much at birth, and when do they reach maturity? A full grown elephant weighs about 9,500 pounds; the Indian elephant about 7,000 pounds. Elephants are not regarded as mature until they are 20 or 30 years old. The average weight at birth is from 150 to 175 pounds. Is there any difference in the speed of light in vacuum and in the air and in water? In vacuum and in air light travels 186,284 miles per second. Both Foucault in France and Michelson in America have measured directly the velocity of light in water and have found it to be about threefourths as great as in air. Do Armenians belong to the white race? Yes. # ls Frank Merriwell a real character? He is a ftctious character, created by Burt L. Standish, writer of boys stories. What part did Warner Baxter play in “The Romance of the Rio Grande?” The grandson. „

soles of the feet do increase in perspiration when heat is applied to any single portion of the body and also associated with pain or emotional stimuli. When mental arithmetic was used as a stimulus, due to mental stress, the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet increased promptly in perspiration. Mental stress aiso cau: cs prompt perspiration on the forehead, if it is sufficiently severe. The Chinese investigator is convinced that the perspiration from the palms and soles is five to ten times as much as from other parts of the body and that this goes on constantly for the special purpose of facilitating physical work, as for example the way in which one spits on his hands when he is going to put forth a little extra effort with a shovel. The moisture also tends to protect the skin and its main function is the regulation of the temperature of the body.

Once foreign markets are shut against us, our very efficiency becomes a threat against the national welfare. Everybody knows that our manufacturers are skillful enough to produce more commodities than America can absorb. - a a a Case of Ford MR. FORD isn’t asking for any tariff. In spite of shorter hours and higher wages, his skill in mass production makes it possible for him to sell cheap motor cars abroad. But he can’t go on selling there if we won’t buy in exchange. If congress should pass a law arbitrarily cutting 10 per cent off your pay and mine, I’d howl my head off. And so would you. And if congress decreed that our rent should be raised and that everything we wore and ate should immediately be advanced in price we’d all be very angry. Well, we ought to get excited about the Grundy tariff, for in a very real and actual way it will do just that. It isn’t just an abstract question to be mulled over in a committee room. This is our money which they are fooling with. We are to be heavily taxed for the benefit of a few individuals. v The Grundy tariff is just an ill wind. We all should protest against its acceptance.

SAYS:

The O'l Morality May Be Parsing, but Interest in the Woes and Worries of Other People Is Not. THOUGH he once described history as bunk. Henry Ford continues to buy relics. His latest purchase consists of twenty-four pieces of furniture auctioned off by Abraham Lincoln, when the latter left Springfield. 111., to become President seventy years ago. Thus one form of genius pays tribute to another. Lincoln was the kind of man who made the chairs he sat in, or the cuspidors he spat in, dear to posterity. Ford Is the kind of man who can make money enough to buy them. _ a a a Bunk or not, history continues to repeat itself. Once more the people of Arkansas are fleeing to the hills; congress is in a tariff row; peacemakers, as exemplified by Briand, and jingoes, as exemplified by Mussolini, compete for the front page; a revolution growls in India, and Pennsylvania furnishes another primary scandal, while Cat Eye Annie makes one more bid for fame by escaping from Auburn prison. a a a Round and Round They Go T> ARRING scientific achieve- . ments, the news remains heavy yith incidents and episodes that have occurred a thousand times. The brain alone supplies novelties, and then only when it Is devoted to constructive work. A Graf Zeppelin on her way to South America represents the kind of thrill our fathers and grandfathers never knew. A murder, no matter how horrible; a divorce case, no matter how rotten; a primary campaign, no matter how corrupt, does not. * a a a Considering how interested we pretend to be hi what is novel, or unique, and how much of it there is to interest us, the kick we get out of old stuff is amazing. Though the first sex story was written about as soon as Adam and Eve made their appearance, and the first homicide occurred when Cain killed Abel, we have not tired of them. Let two people get in a row, especially a man and a woman, and more especially still if the row involves death, and we are ready to forget about everything else in the world, while we read the particulars, a a a Awake to Science Value THE old morality may be passing but intsrest in the woes and worries of other people is not. A fight, even between dogs, still draws a crowd, though not to such extent as it did before science dramatized another, and more wholesome form of triumph. Surely, if slowly, we are beginning to realize that the victories of intelligence are not only more important than those of brute force, but quite as interesting and romantic. The reason Is obvious. They at last have been translated into tangible results. As long as science was confined to the abstract, only superior minds could grasp its significance. Now that it rides the skies, lights cities, and enables us to talk with one another across the- ocean, we are beginning to understand that it means something more than a few added comforts and conveniences. a a a Machinery Benefits Us THERE would be little hope for such enterprises as the League of Nations, the world court, or the peace movement as a whole, but for those inventions and innovations which have brought humanity closer together. Out of the mechanical hookup rises anew and broader conception of human relationships. We like to think that idealism, as we call it, is separable from the way we work and live, but the tools and instruments that have been devised through thousands of years of toil and struggle have a profound bearing on the way we feel toward social and political problems. • Though machinery may not have done much to produce better individuals, it has done a great deal to improve society, and in the end individuals will benefit.
