Roosevelt on Relief Roosevelt was at his best In answering questions *ent to all candidates by ten leading social welfare workers. Equally satisfactory answers probably will be given by the Socialist candidate Norman Thomas. . President Hoover has not answered, but his record Itself is a negative answer, showing that he opposes adequate and prompt federal relief for depression Victims. Roosevelt pledges himself to prompt and generous federal unemployment relief, to supplement inadequate local aid. not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of social duty.” A general government economy program which will not, however, be practiced 'at the expense of starving people.” Long-range planning and financing of public works during prosperous times for construction during depression, a policy advocated by Hoover ten years ago, but deserted by him when elected. A public works program which will include not only aeif-liquidating projects, but also projects essential to public welfare, such as schools, playgrounds and slum abatement. Compulsory state unemployment insurance reaerves, based on sound insurance financing. A nationally co-ordinated system of state-federal employment exchanges as provided by the Wagner bill, vetoed by Hoover. Continuance of 'he United States children's bureau, and no cuts in child welfare appropriations. Increase of the school age to 16. as necessary to Child welfare, and to increased adult employment by diminishing child labor. In advocating this constructive welfare program, Roosevelt takes his place bpside the social service leaders of the nation who have worked in vain for these reforms during the Hoover administration. v Your Leisure Hour What will you do with your leisure hours when the time comes that you will have at least threefourths of each day free from work? The new problem is that of leisure. It is here how. It came with enforced idleness. It will be permanent because of the inevitable readjustment of industry and business. To the hundreds of thousands who have lost their jobs the problem of what to do with time is quite as acute as the question of getting the necessities of life. To the employed who have been placed on part time or staggered work, the matter is of some moment. To every person, the problem will be presented very soon, because work days and work w£eks Will be shortened. - The future of this country will not be determined during working hours. It will be settled by what people f> with their leisure hours. T Science, coupled with inventive genius, has so increased the processes of production that it requires oTQIy 30 per cent of the workers on an eight-hour day ip produce all the necessities for the whole population. I TV.’at means that work must be distributed, with shore leisure for every one. or that living standards must b' p increased to a point where every one will have ;9'-l the luxuries now possible only for the very ’rich. - T’/iat both these things will happen is inevitable, but ' society has not yet been educated to the point of jmaklng this transition without shock. *■ The truth is that mast of us have forgotten how to' even relax, to say nothing of enjoying leisure. , Most of us depend upon money to buy entertaini.ncnt and amusement. Very few have developed the Capacity of companionship. The competition in life and the struggle for existence has been too harsh. * In this city, the Leisure Hour Clubs are proposing a novel experiment. They merely suggest that in these days of more leisure, people in the' various localities unite to find fun and entertainment and rieighborlincss in ways that cost no money. - They suggest that social centers be established, with rooms where men and women can meet during their hours of leisure. They propose that there be eptertainments with lectures, music, dancing, game*. They propose to solve the problem of leisure by cooperation and to enable human beings to satisfy their minds and souls. They declare war upon unemployed minds and Imparts. Here is an opportunity for those who may have a talent for organization. If you have such a talent, get tn touch with Dwight S. Ritter at 916 Majestic building. Very soon, the different centers will ask for talent from outside their own communities. You may be able to sing. You may play some musical instrument. You may be a specialist on some topic of general interest. There will be opportunity in all these centers for these talents. Here is a solution for the real problem of unemployment—the employment of Leisure Hours. Forests Threatened Four states face destruction of their greatest riatural resource. Th white pine forests of Idaho, Montana. Washington, and Oregon are being devastated by blister rust. Forced cutting of the timber in these states, where the lumber market already is glutted, would strike a severe blow at solvency of the entire region. And part of the United States can not go bankrupt without injuring the rest. The white pine blister develops in currant and gooseberry plants, and protection of the northwest lorests requires nothing more complicated than eradication of these plants over an area of 3,000,000 acres. The work is under way. but it is moving slowly. If it could be placed on an eight-year basis, it would provide labor for an average of 150.000 man days a season, an important item in relief of unemployment in the west. Boomerang More American companies will go into the red and more American workmen will be thrown on the streets as a result of the new Canadian-British tariff agreement. The Canadian rates went into effect Wednesday and the British rates will follow soon, probably within a month. In both jases, American trade is hard hit. We can not complain of injustice. Our two best customers simply are retaliating against our monstrous Hawley-Smoot act, which precipitated this latest world tariff war. If America insists on shutting out the goods of other nations, we must expect them to erect barriers against us. Perhaps the misguided American voters, Republican and Democratic, who have been fooled in the past by the prosperity-through-tariff myth, will learn from this bitter experience. Although we can not criticise the motives of the

Canadians and British in their attempted self-defense retaliation, we do question their intelligence. Just as America has suffered from her high tyiff, so Canada and Britain will suffer in erecting artificial barriers and stopping the normal flow of world trade. Most of the trade exchange among these three countries—the United States. Canada and Britain—has been normal, and, as such, mutually advantageous. We only can hope that this disastrous trade war will not continue long, that the next administration in Washington will take the initiative in a trade truce and resumption of natural commercial relations. Bibles and Bullets Ancient and medieval scholars were imprisoned and even put to death because of their learning, but it is startling in modern America to find a member of congress in danger of his official life for the same reason. , Representative Ross A. Collins of Mississippi, who is running for re-election, is being attacked because, several years ago, he sponsored purchase for the library of congress of the Vollbehr collection of 3,000 rare volumes, including the Gutenberg Bible. Both from the standpoint of religion and of culture, it would seem natural for the people of Mississippi to appreciate this official act, which saved to America valuable documents which otherwise would have gone to Europe. Instead, it is berated as extravagant folly. Yet if there is one member of congress who has stood firmly and consistently for government economy in the last few years it is Rass Collins. As chairman of the house subcommittee in charge of war department appropriations, he had the difficult task, last winter, of trying to bring about economies in the one government department which refused to economize of its own accord. His determination brought about savings of at least $12,500,000, and would have brought even more had It not been for strength of the army lobby in the senate. These real and practical economies probably are the actual reason for the attack being made upon him. A large part of the army and a majority of the house of representatives supported Collins in his contention that economies he proposed in the military machine actually would increase efficiency of national defense, rather than impair it in any way. But, of course, his fight made powerful enemies. The people of Mississippi who are about to pass on this record have an opportunity to show descrimination in rewarding public service. The Law Lags The Woman's party pointedly expressed the hope that, the United States supreme court, soon to be housed in its new quarters, will acquire new concepts of the legal rights of women with its new Abode. When one recalls that only a few months ago the court refused to hear the plea of a Massachusetts woman that exclusion of her sex from jury lists had denied -her the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the law, it is easy to sympathize with the woman's party point of view. The court's refusal was made in the face of a previous decision that for any state to debar Negroes from jury service was an infringement of the Constitution, in factories and stores, in business and professions, in colleges, at the polls, in most of the important contacts of life, women have been recognized as citizens with an equal right to prove their abilities and participatc in life of the natioir. The laws lag behind public sentiment, as they alwajs qo, and farther back lags the supreme court. Schools and Prisons States, counties, and cities planning x to cut down their public school budgets first should read an appeal sent out by the National Education Association. The N. E. A. finds that it costs S3OO a year to keep a man in prison. It costs only SIOO a year to keep a child in school. Punishing about half a million criminals costs $1,500,000,000 annually. Educating 26.000.000 children costs less than $2,500,000,000 a year. Evaluated at Its lowest education is our best crifne preventive. It is the cheapest commodity on the market, costing every person of voting age only 10 cents a day. Crime is the most costly thing we have' Whereas schools educate, prisons do not prevent or cure crime. Cutting school budgets can be the rankest extravagance.

Just Every Day Sense By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

JT is unfortunate that Mr. Hoover felt moved to broadcast an appeal to American women. Flattering as it may have sounded, and proud as we may feel to be (Ksignated thus as saviors, that appeal recalled too many poignant recollections. Those whase memory can run back forty-eight months can remember with what ardoi the women of the United States labored for Mr. Hoover. That campaign was more than a campaign. It was a crusade, a mobilization of the hosts of righteousness. Farmers' wives in the middle wesr drove their little Fords and carried the message of Republicanism to their less enthusiastic neighbors. Other women traveled by bus and train through the states and over ♦he nation, at the insistent urging of party leaders and with pious, zeal recited the virtues of the G. O. P. We rallied like a great army, determined to save our land from the mythical dangers of Vatican rule, from New York east side dictation and from return of the corner saloon. • m * * LARGE sums of money went into that crusade. In my home state, which normally is Democratic, approximately *75.000 was used, and you'd be surprised to know how littlte of that sum the women received. When the farmer's wife applied for a $5 bill to buy her gas. she was chided gently because she' did not work for love alone. % A good many others still are hundreds of dollars out of purse for' their pains. The men somehow distributed these funds to suit their whims and many of them were paid handsomely to make the distribution. Since that day. what has happened to the American woman? She still is holding the sack. Steadily, slowlv, persistently, she has been edged out of office. She has been edged out of poltical positions. She has been edged out of industry. While we can not blame Mr. Hoover for that, we can blame the other males of the G. O. P. Women are concerned about their country. But it is beginning lo dawn on us that the oftener we rescue it. the poorer are our rewards, and the worse off it seems to be. From political parties this year we should like less flattery and more action.

•Says

The Issue Is Not Roosevelt or Hoover,‘hut Whether You Believe in Democracy or Paternalism. NEW YORK. Oct. 15—Of course a man like Senator Hiram Johnson could not support President Hoover without subordinating his conscience and convictions to the brass collar of partisanship. The present administration has done vastly more to justify a ‘‘Bull Moose’’ movement than did that of Taft twenty years ago, when Senator Johnson lined up with Theodore Roosevelt. Once against, we face an issue which has plagued this republic since it was established. Once again, those who believe in a government by, of, and for the people find themselves obliged to forget party allegiance. Once again, the Hamiltonians have come into control of the administration, with vested interests and 'pecial privileges determining its policy. Once again, smugness has enthroned itself at Washington, doling out favors to a codfish aristocracy, with the idea that no other way of helping those in distress is either safe dr righteous. Once again, the tie between this government ahd its people has become circuitous and indirect. Once again, the of Thomas Jefferson calls across the ages for reform. * * * Must Defend Weak ' I 'HE situation demands someJ- thing bigger than personality, except as personality serves to express arid restore those principles, without which this republic becomes a mockery of its original design. The question is not whether you prefer Hoover or Roosevelt as individuals, but whether you believe in paternalism or democracy; in a philosophy of government which caters to entrenched privilege, or concerns itself with the welfare of average people. In this connection, it were just as well to remember that the primary objective of democracy is defense and protection for the individual who lacks power to cope with organized wealth, mass production, of any other form of voluntary coalescence by wilich society functions. , Democracy never was meant to invent or promote commercial schemes for the benefit of a favored few, but to safeguard the rights of the 85 per cent inarticulate, to speak for those who can not speak for themselves, especially against the abuses which go with supersystem. nu u ' Same Old Struggle WHEN Jefferson staged his great battle for return of this government to its' people, he w r as ostracised by the socially elect and' condemned by the financially strong. He was called a ‘'Jacobin.” and thousands of people were led to believe that his opposition to certain interests foreboded ao attempt at revolution. In those days, our forefathers did not stop with describing a man as ' unsafe.” They went the limit of the language in their violent and picturesque designations, using such words as ‘‘beast.” "fiend.” "devil incarnate,” "riffraff” and “scum.” A century and a quarter of education has taught us how to conceal our feelings. We are more polite and less robust, but the old issue will not down. Where the Hamiltonians whispered of monarchy and looked at revolution-ridden France with horror, some of our people have kind words for Mussolini and shiver at the thought of recognizing Russia. Where the Democrats of 1800 fought to prevent establishment of centralized power, backed by a big standing army, the progressives of today fight to prevent establishment of bureaucracy, backed by big business. In principle, it is the same old struggle.

Artificial Sunlight of Some Benefit

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of (hr American Medical Association and of Hvgeia. the Health Magazine. * r 'I~'HERE now are available to those who want to get sunlight various methods of securing the ultra-violet value that it contains. Natural sunlight may have disadvantages not associated with the artificial sources, for sunlight is not available on cloudy or rainy days, and varies in intensity with time of day and season of year. Use of sunlight outdoors has the added value of fresh air and the stimulation that comes with being outdoors. The vitamin D value, therefore, may be available not only in the sunlight and in artificial light, but in irradiated foods, in viosterol, cod liver oil, or in other ways. A lamp used merely to prevent rickets or a deficiency of vitamin D does not need to be as powerful as one used for certain forms of disease. Among the lamps available for use in the home are those which develop ultraviolet through an arc carried by mercury in a quartz tube. The passing of the electric current causes the mercury to pass

IT SEEMS TO ME

THIS might be as good a day as any other for a disconnected column. For instance, I pained, bilt only to the extent of a couple of paragraphs, by a recent prohibition speech in which a famous professor, whose name escapes me. declared; "The crude, maudlin gregariousness that comes after the third glass of wine is a temporary, deceptive thing—fool's gold. You can t build anything of it.” I wish I could remember the professor's name. I’d certainly like to know where he got that wane. But beyond that I am shocked by the gross materialism of his point of view. Ido not like to think even of the total abstainer as a man accepts the proffered sarsaparilla grudgingly and asks, "What is there in it for me?” u n Recovery and Rabbits MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT is quoted as saying, "President Hoover had no tnore to do with the depression than a rabbit.” I don't think the simile is altogether felicitous, for she goes on to say, "Republican or Democrat, no one could have stopped it—not a single man knows how to stop a depression; it is like a fever or smallpox.” This argument in favor' of the re-election of the present administration always has puzzled me. Wo are told now that Herbert Clark Hoover’s promise to abolish poverty back in 1928 were beyond the power of any man to fulfill—which makes me wonder why he made them. Natural causes of a deep-seated sort, far beyond the power of man caused the depression. But if that is so does it seem entirely logical tn accept the oft repeated statement of Mr. Hoover and his leaders that the only people capable of ending the difficulty must be Republican? If there were any disposition to admit that possibly Herbert Clark Hoover, with the best intentions in the world, did his bit to get us into the gully. I could see some sense in saying that he might, through his knowledge of the terrain on the way down, be x ~culjarly fitted to lead us back to'inhere we came from.

into the vaporous state. The large lamps are more powerful than sunlight for the amount of ultraviolet that they provide. There also are available bulbs of the usual incandescent type which have heating tungsten filament and a small pool of mercury. When the current is turned on the filament becomes heated and vaporizes the mercury to establish an arc. Such a lamp is much less intense than the quartz mercury arc. Indeed. Dr. Macrea asserts that its total light intensity at three feet is about one-half that of average sunlight. Another type is the carbon arc, which develops the ultraviolet through the passing current between two carbons composed of mixtures with various metallic substances. Comparisons have been made as to the value of all these devices for prevention or treatment of rickets. It is found that the amount necessary for prevention of rickets is about one-fourth of that desirable for cure of this disease. In determining the exact relationship, it was found that the quartz

A S a matter of fact, I do not A. think that either President Hoover or Governor Roosevelt is likely to be very largely instrumental in the matter of recovery. I’m afraid that both of them believe that depressions are natural and inevitable. I'm not interested in economic schemes which are concerned only with this depression. I want a political philosophy which will also take account of the lgst depression and the next one. Aftef all, we have done a lot better with * smallpox than we have with depressions. It shouldn't be beyond the power of man to achieve industrial vaccination. And even smallpox seldom comes more than once to any man.

The world was to end on Oct. 10, according to his calculations. And here it is Oct. 15. At least, I hope it's the 15th.

mercury arc was 30 times as powerful as the mercury tungsten glass arc, and about 100 times as powerful as midday summer sunshine. Moreover, it was 480 times as powerful as winter sunshine, and an ordinary incandescent lamp was so feeble as to have little, if any, value. The carbon arc has about the same value as the quartz mercury arc. It is, oQcourse. difficult to select the proper dosage of ultraviolet for various purposes. It is known that overexposure is dangerous. Excessive exposure to ordinary sunshine will bring on listlessness, irritability, fatigue, and even fever. Certain skin diseases become worse on the administration of light. There is possibility thkt continuous excessive use may cause the depositing of calcium in the tissues. A certain exposure of the light is beneficial to development of the red blood cells, but overexposure may do harm.

SCIENCE

-BY DAVID DIETZ-

Fluctuation in Industry and Agriculture Sh ow n by S,OOO Charts. THREE thousand charts, showing the history of as many industrial and agricultural products from * 1830 to 1930. are being prepared at Columbia university. The project, under direction of Howard Scott, consulting technologist, is part of the "energy survey of the North American continent, undertaken Jointly by the* department of industrial engineering of Columbia university and the architects’ emergency committee of New York. The survey, according to Professor Walter Rautenstrauch. head of the department of industrial engineer-, ing. hopes to trace exhaustively the industrial and agricultural development of the United States during the last 100 years in terms of production. employment and energy ex- s penditure. The charts will show four basic facts about each of 3.000 products, ranging from wheat and cotton to iron and steel. They are; Amount of energy expended annually in production, number of men employed, number of hours employed, and amount of production. The charts also will reveal, in the case of each product, rate of growth of production, decline in man-power required per unit of production. and total installed horse power required per unit of production. m m u What Charts Show THE survey, according to Scott, explains what is happening the United States today. "Prior to 1900. the charts show very little fluctuation in the production of the major commodities.'’ he says. ‘Since then the oscillations grow tremendous, increasing in frequency and in amplitude. "The man power needed in the production of each comrnodity slips down, even as the total installed horse power increases. "The facts revealed by the charts completed through 1920 clearly indicate the coming of the present depression, although the figures poirit to 1930 instead of 1929 as the year of the crash. "As efficiency approaches 100 per -1 cent, employment nears zero. As the number of machines increases, so the fluctuations in employment and production increase. "Our major slumps hit new lows each time, our booms new highs. We oscillate closer to infinity on the one hand, and to zero on the other. "The maximum of employment in industry was reached in 1918, and has declined ever since that date. Total production, on the other hand, reached its maximum in 1929. "This ratio of increased production and declining employment is to be found in every major industry, as the charts indicate. "Employment may be considered, therefore, an inverse factor in the rate of production.” n n n Energy and Wealth THE charts give anew picture of the trend of our industrial civilization, according to Scott. "The charts give a picture of our civilization in the only accurate terms in which it can be depicted.” he says. “It can not be done, as economists do it, by computing monetary wealth. "Economics merely is the pathology of privately-owned wealth. i “Although monetary wealth is the only wealth in our price system of production, to attempt to evaluate modern civilization in dollars Is to attempt to build a house with a rubber yardstick. "The United States, these charts show, expends in energy 150,000 calories per capita a day. The figure for the ancient Greeks and the modern Chinese is 1.600 to 2.000 calories per capita a day. "Our great difficulty is the fact that the tremendous energy expended in this country is not distributed. "Under the present industrial system, unemployment will continue to increase until a maximum ' point is reached, which will bring about collapse of the system.”

People’s Voice

Editor Times—Things must be getting serious in the O. O. P. camp when Silent Cal is persuaded to say something "of my party." The charge has been made, Mr. Coolidge said, that the Republican party and its candidates do not*' show any solicitude for the welfare of "the common run" of people. We do not know’ just what Mr. Coolidge meant by ‘‘common run." but suppose he meant the mass of the people. Whatever he meant, the statement is true, according to the principles of Alexander Hamilton. founder of the Federalist party, that has changed its name so many times to keep in existence, and finally parked on the tail end of the Democratic-Republican party's name and now calls itself ‘‘the Republican party.’’ Mr. Hamilton believed, and said: That the British government was the best in the world, and that he doubted much whether anything short of it would do in America.*' He also believed that the people naturally are unequal, and that rights of minorities must be .secured by checks and balances. That is the principle on which the Republican party was built, and an organization is no better than the principle upon which it w’as founded. Hamilton's idea was monarchy, and we now have it, with a British subject for President, Mr. Hoover. According to a photographic copy, Mr. Hoover's registration at the town hall, royal borough of Kensington, for voting purposes in England, was as follows: Nov. 1, 1911 ; Oct. 31, 1912; Nov. 1, 1912; Noc. 31, 1913; Nov. 1, 1913; Oct. 31, 1914 Nov. 1, 1914. and Oct. 31, 1915. We' all know for a person to register he must be a subject of the country. Mr. Hoover must have become a British subject to vote in England, or to register with the ' intention of voting it also may account for the high tariff, to give England a chance to recover some of her foreign trade, while the United States is boycoted READER.
