PRECEDENT, THY NAME IS BALONEY | 1 OUTS JOHNSON resigned as Assistant Secretary of War | ‘ because, savs White House Spokesman Stephen Early, "since time immemorial there alwavs has been a precedent permitting any Cabinet officer to select his own assistant secretary.” Is that so? Wonder why no one remembered that precedent during all the vears that Harry Woodring was Secretary of | War? | Mr. Woodring wanted the worst way to get rid of | Mr. Johnson—the two men just couldn't get along-—but | the ax fell first on Mr. Woodring’s neck. And now Mr. Johnson's head rolls because the new | Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, wants the place filled hv his fellow-Republican and fellow-New Yorker, Judge Robert P. Patterson. No fair-minded citizen will hold either politics or geography against Judge Patterson. National defense should be nonpartisan and nonsectional, and on the whole it would seem for the best that the new Secyetary of War have an assistant of his own choosing. But we can't help thinking what funny things precedare. Apparently they are something to be leaned upon when they point in the direction you want to go, but to be ignored when they point counterwise. By the way, why wasn't that precedent recalled back in | {he davs when the President's political liaison man, Charlie | West, was kept on the payroll as Undersecretary of the Interior? Secretary Ickes finally solved that problem in tvpical 1ckesian fashion. He fired Charlie's help, took over his office. and moved out the furniture. Whereupon Charlie took the hint and quit. And wasn't it just last week that the biggest precedent of all was busted?

Ex-Policeman Who Peached on Pals Now Heads Iron Workers Union And Still Owes U. S. $1000 Fine

EW YORK, July 26.—Yesterday's contribution to the sum of wisdom revealed that Joseph Ozanic, the president of the Progressive Mine Workers, of the American Federation of Labor, was convicted of bootlegging in the Federal Court at Springfield, Ill, in 1924 and 1925 and that the present United States District Attorney there is proceeding against him to collect $550 which Mr. Ozanic still owes the Govern-

ment on two fines. District Attorney Howard Doyle says Mr. Ozanic served three months in the Springfield city jail for his part in the great popular rebellion against the foul amendment, and there may be those who, remembering the temper of those times, will be more like to honor than condemn Mr. Ozanic. Less chivalrous, however, was -the part played in the people's protest against prohibition by Mr. John Dempsey, who, in April 22, 1925, pleaded guilty to two charges of conspiracy in the United States District

| Court in Cincinnati, and was fined $1000, no part of | which has been paid. =

» =

AR. DEMPSEY is now the international treasurer of the International Union of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, with headquarters in St. Louis, a position of great responsibility and power, and one which obviously calls for the highest moral

character. Mr. Dempsey's part in the case which resulted in

| the imposition of the fine involved a serious betrayal

of public trust. He was a policeman on the Cincinnati force at a time when graft was rife in the department, and he was one of 30 policemen who were caught by Federal investigators in a systematic shakedown of bootleggers. Most of the faithless cops pleaded guilty, a few were convicted and Mr. Dempsey turned state's evidence, a copper who hollered copper on the cops. He, too, pleaded guilty, but, in return for his assistance the court, in imposing the fine, refrained from order-

| ing that he should stand committed until it should be

paid. Mr. Dempsey thus was permitted to walk out of the court free to hew out a career for himself in the leadership of the American Federation of Labor, bringing to the service a character which had been capable of violating a solemn trust for personal gain and of violating the trust of his fellow conspirators for personal advantage, at their expense.

n 2

EMOVED from the police department, Mr. Dempsev returned to his trade, structural iron work, and became active in union affairs in Cincinnati. He soon rose to the position of business agent of Local 44 in Cincinnati and became a power in the Central Labor Council It would seem that Mr. Dempsey'zs fine wag seri ously intended to be a fine for there is nothing to suggest that the court was only fooling. But, in the meantime. he has risen to such prominence and power

| in the councils of the American Federation of Labor

FRIDAY, JULY 25, Gen. Johnson Says—

Bolters Need Not Surprise F. D. R; Willkie a True Jeffersonian—While He Follows Ideas of Hamilton.

ASHINGTON, July 26.—The President should not be displeased at the departure of Democrats. The whole political scene has changed to a sort of game of “prisoner's base.” The Republicans have nominated a Democrat of such characteristic color that Thomas Jefferson would recognize him as a kindred spirit long before he could ever distinguish Mr. Roosevelt from Alexander Hamilton, Mr. Roosevelt has held up to the yeomen, as Prince of Wales, Mr. Wallace, a Republican by heredity and long conviction, who says that he turned his political coat only because the Republicans hadn't done enough for agriculture. There is more in both Democratic and Republican principle than is dreamt of in that philosophy. In the President's Cabinet there are only two indubitable Democrats—Hull and Farley. There are now four Republicans—Stimson, Knox, Wallace and Tekes—two Socialists or something—Hopkins and Perkins—and a couple of no pronounced political parentage, Jackson and Morgenthau.

8 for Jeffersonian policy—decentralization of government-—states rights—government by laws, not men—no personalized power—rotation in office— Federal economy—as little government as is consistent with keeping men from injuring each other Mr. Roosevelt opposes every one. Whether Mr. Willkie will be regarded as a reborn Republican or Democrat nominated on the Republican ticket, his whole philosophy is as faithfully Jeffersonian as Mr. Roosevelt’s is the reverse of that. In the traditional American political sense it is far more difficult to see how a Democrat could support Myr. Roosevelt, than to wonder how he could fail to support Mr. Willkie. Alexander Hamilton didn’t think men could be trusted to govern themselves except through a selfperpetuating beneficient despotism. Mr. Jefferson asked, if man couldn't govern himself had he found angels to govern him? Plainly Mr. Roosevelt concurs with Hamilton and has practically uttered and surely acted the belief that both the anointed governor and his successor have been found.

The proposal te establish a great cartel to take over South American surpluses has all the marks of being the product of this “do something” school. A simple statement of the facts would seem to be all that is necessary to cause us to pause a good while before we fall for this scheme, South American countries are great commodity countries, And many of them are one-commodity countries. They are like many of our states—Kansas with her wheat, South Carolina with her cotton, Montana with her copper. When anything happens which destroys the market for these commodities, these great commodity countries and states suffer. This is what has happened in South America. Brazil with her coffee, Chile with her copper, Peru with her nitrates, all have suffered the loss of their European markets. When our farmers suffered the same mishap to their cotton, wheat and corn, the Hoover Farm Board, in an attempt to keep prices up, purchased huge quantities of these products. The upshot was that it did

had to rise in the Senate one day and, with some humility, announce that the entire half a billion dollars provided for their experiment was gone, This sad experience did not prevent us from doing the same thing all over again, under different forms, in the present Administration. Because our cotton and wheat farmers lost their European markets, our AAA hought, under the form of loans, their cotton and wheat.

But that is only for this year, Next year there would be another wave of production, And the billion we bought this year would hang over the market to destroy the price and market value of next year's production.

Watching Your Health

By Jane Stafford

N nur concern over war abroad and preparations for defense at home, we must not forget that war against disease must be carried on unrelentingly.

| Bome figures published on tuberculosis deaths are a

striking reminder that this one disease is a many times greater destroyer of human life than war. The figures showed that since the World War 1,800,000 Americans have died of tuberculosis, while

| 1776 is only a small fraction of this number.

The keystone of defense against tuberculosis is early diagnosis by which any “fifth columnists” of tuberculosis germs can be detected and mopped up before they get a chance to do serious damage to the lungs or other parts of the body. For detecting these germs at the earliest possible moment, modern physicians use the tuberculin test and the X-ray, Without these two TB detecting aids it is very difficult to catch the disease in its early stages because the symptoms at first are so slight they may escape being noticed. i If the disease is not detected early it constitutes ; a double danger: 1. The threat to the life of the, patient whose best chance of recovery depends on starting treatment early as possible, 2. The danger to the patient's family, friends and business associates who may catch the disease from him before ha knows he has it; himself, This second danger is particularly
