Senator Borah speak- ing recently at Chicago emph ed the trend against in- creasing the scope of federal government and its interfer- ence in strictly local matters. He said: The remorseless urge of centralization, the in- satiable maw of a bureaucracy, are depriving more and more the people of all voice, all rights touching home and hearthstone, of family and neighbor. There is not a practice, custom or habit but must ( soon be censored from Washington. There is not in all the relationship of parent and child, of family and home, anything sufficiently private or sacred to exempt it from the furtive eye of the special agent. I venture to say that coming generations, when they awake to the deliberate robbery, to the unconscionable devastation of their heritage of local self-government, and begin to suffer the tor- tures and the burdens of such a system as will fol- low, will denounce in the unmeasured terms of .a defrauded people those who have cowardly frittered away their rights. Where local governments fail to discharge properly their opportunities and obligations, then it may be necessary for | the federal government to step in and function in their’ place, but such cases are infrequent. There is no doubt that the war gave federal centraliza- tion a great impetus. Everyone was thinking in terms of his national government and orders and demands from Washington were generally acquiesced in with patriotic fervor. But that pressure is lacking now and people every- where are questioning the advisability of the federal govern- ment meddling in many strictly local problems. If local governments respond efficiently to their oppor- tunities and obligations the rush to Washington for panaceas for every ill of the body politic will diminish, but failure to do so will mean an exalting of federal power in strictly state affairs. WHAT IS INTOXICATION? An accurate, scientific definition of “intoxication” seems to be greatly desired in Ontario, Can., where 4.4 per cent beer is about to be made available to the public. One writer asserts that there is an earlier stage of alcoholic influence which is comparatively harmless, being marked chiefly by “a brisk flow of ideas, increased freedom of speech and ac- tion and greater self-confidence with a sense of well-being.” The next stages lead by rapid processes to drunkenness. An opponent of the 4.4 per cent beer points out that such arguing misses the point, which is that there is no way to Alcohol works like a habit-forming drug in its creation of a desire for increased doses. The danger of the particular per cent beer in question is that if it does not produce the whole de- sired effect, stronger beverages will be sought, and the boot- legger won’t have been put out of business at all. ( Americans interested in the restoration of “light wines ; and beer” will have the same problem to face. THE HOTEL SQUATTER Los Angeles hotels are banishing the lobby squatters, ; boldly assailing an ancient and widespread pest. This type of deadbeat in Los Angeles is said to be usually a tourist who has an inexpensive room somewhere and eats in the cafeterias, and spends much of his remaining time filling the comfortable chairs in the lobbies of good hotels. The hotels naturally want those chairs for their own guests, who are now crowded out by the parasite squatters. So at tendants scan intruders with eagle eye and, when they be- come too regular in their unprofitable patronage, slip them , little printed cards requesting them to loaf elsewhere. They usually take the hint. It is a bold step, in a business that is timid about ‘offend- ing patrons, actual or prospective. But it is am) and will doubtless be initiated elsewhere. - \ Those who saw Otis Skinner five or ten years ago marked * the great change the other evening in this actor. His reson- ant voice has become quite “husky” and the vehicle in which he appeared is barren’ of any dramatic merit. Some of the great stars taper off their careers by appearing in plays of intense dramatic appeal and with actors of fame, but Mr. Skinner had neither of these requisites in the stupid offering of Wednesday evening. If there had only been the saving grace of.some great lines or of some literary merit. Great financial mergers and sales stir the business world these days. Competition and highly perfected schemes of organization that dominate the large industries demand ‘closely knit, compact corporations with unlimited capital. : Manufacturing eosts, the shorter work day and many fac- tors have contributed to the tendency everywhere in the direction of consolidations and mergers. The pendulum is gradually swinging in the other direction toward fewer but greater alliances ‘of capital. Desultory and in many places apathetic voting marked city elections throughout Minnesota and North Dakota. Breaking down of party organization has diminished interest : in elections with the result that the type of men needed in\ public office will not make the kind of a campaign that seems necessary to insure election. - .

Rowell With Franklin D, Roosevelt trying to reform the Demo- cratic party and Theodore Roosevelt trying to wake up the Republican party, there should be something doing. Cer- |tainlys both parties need it. The Democratic party, split between the foreign-born, Catholic, “wet,” metropolitan, | feudal-minded eastern group and the old-American, Protest- ‘ant, “dry,” rural, individualistic southern group, has lost the tradition and forgotten the principles that once held it together. ‘Roosevelt (Franklin D.) thinks he can find lead- ership, as the only other basis of unity. _The Republican party, compounded of conservatives, liberals and progres- sives, traditionally a Farmer-Business party, is pulled be- tween two movements, one of which interprets the victory as license to restore the era of Mark Hanna, and the other jof which is sure that the victories in 1928, 1932 and the rest; can not be won on the slogans of 1884. Roosevelt (Theodore) thinks it will take young men to make the neces- sary readjustments. What both parties need is principles, sand contrary ones. .But the time when they were divided by doctrines, instead of men, is ancient and almost forgot- ten history. One thing gives hope that at least the end of se¢tional- ism as the basis of party division, may not be so far away as we once feared. The boom is moving northern men and northern money south. The ban on immigration is moving southern negroes north. This will give the north 4 taste of the southern problem, and the south a mingling of northern leadership and traditions. Neither of them will like it. But Jit will be good fox them.

Union-busting capitalism is the chief feeder of I. W.

But not business men. RADIO HAVING A GREAT EFFECT ON ORATORY What effect will the radio grid the voice amplifier have on Améri- can oratory? They are already having it. The amplifier has put intelligence on an equality with noise. Any one who can speak at all can be heard. So the competition comes on what is said. The radio puts a) still gregter) premium on having something to! say. Every radio listener is in’ the back seat, next to the door, where he can slip out unobtrusively. He can not be hypnotized by the ora- tor's gestures nor carried away by the contagion of the crowd. Mere grandiloquence is simply funny, without these adventitious aids. The radio. audience will not listen to an empty speech at all nor too long even to a good one. There is always something else to hear. The speak- er who will be listened to is the one who is somebody who has some- thing to say, and says it clearly and briefly. Since one ‘speaker can ad- WISCONSIN SOLON IS A REVOLUTIONIST °° The Wisconsin legislator who op- enly boasted that his ‘home brew” was intoxicating, challenged his rival to get drunk on it, and defied the authorities to enforce the law on him, was simply ‘a revolutionist. One may have all the charity he cikes for the casual “home brewer” and even enforcement officers may some- times put others ahead of him on their program of arrests. But not the open defier, especially when he defiles the very temple of the law with his lawlessness, A third of a century ago, “General” Coxey was arrested in Washington on the tech- nical charge of walking on the grass of the capitol grqunds. ,, Twenty thousand spectators had trod on that same grass at the same time, and were not molested, The ex- planation was that Coxey had defied the law, while the others had mere- ily incidentally disregarded it. Law does not have to be perfectly suc- cessful, or ‘even perfectly vigilant. It can sometimes fuil. It dare not surrender. This Wisconsin revolu- tionist should have time, in a quiet retreat. as the guest of the sheriff, to think this over.

Mrs. Jones knew from experience that children naturally seek excuses for evading disagreeable tasks. But if parents permit them to carry these habits into &dult life, the parent has permitted a great wrong to be perpetrated upon the child, and upon the community.
