Logan Payne Co. ~ CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON World Court Skirmish Opens ‘The Illinois primary campaign will be the curtain rais- er to the next item in the Hoover program. The prelimi- nary skirmish on American entry to the international court of justice is to be fought over in the Sucker state. ‘The two champions of the opposing proposals, adhe- sion and abstention, are to be Senator Charles S. Deneen, for entry, and Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick for re- maining aloof from this world tribunal. Thus the pri- mary of April 8 will develop into a battle over the merits of the opposing contentions, Deneen will champion the president's proposed adhesion, Mrs. McCormick will tilt her lance for the Borah bloc of irreconcilables in opposi- tion. There is something a bit amazing about the circum- Stance that a great international issue as this should be fought out in Illinois, much of the debate over it taking Place in Chicago, if not on the platform, then in the forum of the newspapers, There is such a contrast about the setting of it in the bankrupt city, with its criminal gangs and sordid politics of the Thompson regime. Per- haps it will reveal that the flame of conscientious de- mocracy still burns brighter than otherwise might be gssumed in the welter of civic demoralization. Senator Deneen takes a very bold stand, for the issue . Was raised once before in Illinois and some would say it was this which defeated Senator William B. McKinley more than the vast sums spent in behalf of Frank L. Smith, the senatorial nominee of the utility interests. McKinley had voted for the court. ‘The argument against the court which Mrs. McCor- mick is putting forth to the Illinois-electorate is that it 4s @ mere back door entry to that old stuff, the league of nations. Previously she had gone on record in her congressional campaign in favor of the court. Senator Deneen’s emphasis for entry into the court is based on the support of the idea by Presidents McKin- Jey, Roosevelt, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. John Bassett Moore, outstanding American jurist and diplo- mat, and Charles Evans Hughes have been members of its bench, Furthermore, the Republican platforms of 1912, 1916, 1924 and 1928 have declared for adhesion to “ the court. This party stand for the tribunal, however, bids un- likely to appeal strongly for approval of the court when the president presents the matter to the senate for ac- tion on his intended recommendation for entry. Of the 55 so-called Republicans in the senate, only 34 support the president, while the others are in coalition with the Democrats in what is mostly a one-item program, and that opposition to the president. If adhesion to the wourt ever is achieved, it probably will be with the support of Democratic senators whose belief in the league of na- tions can be transformed into the solace of the nation sitting in the world tribunal. Fanatic Censorship Reversed We are not as idiotic as we thought when Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, a grandmother of much refinement and intelligence, was convicted and sentenced to a year in prison and to pay a fine of $300 in a federal court in New York ten months ago. The federal court of appeals has reversed the conviction and aytomatically voided her, penalties, which were imposed on the ground that a book on sex life written for the information and guid- ‘ance of her grandchildren was an immoral work and ‘that in sending a copy by mail to a friend in Virginia she had violated the federal laws, The case created a great furor at the time, both for ‘and against Mrs. Dennett, especially in the ranks of wom- en's societies and liberal organizations, Both the Y. W. C. A. and the ¥. M. C. A., as well as the Epworth league, had used the Dennett pamphlet as a means of teaching youth the facts of sex life. It was circulated through parents and thus could reach the young only at the dis- cretion of their elders, The judicial opinion indicating a return to sanity was written by Judge Augustus N. Hand and was concurred in by his two colleagues, which is still more notable evi- dence that ‘censorship has not completely locoed the courts, There is left room for hope that a sensible stand may yet be taken in other phases of the censorship craze. tribution to man’s well-being. ‘| The ee, and morality.” He, said that the middle scene literature on the young. On the other hand, cen- sorship carries with it grave dangers. It advertises and popularizes unfortunate books and thereby frequently defeats its purpose.” Dr. Mann then asked if ‘people. are wise enough to select wise censors, even if such could be found. He an- swered his own question by declaring that “many of the great classics were censored in their own way, and but | for liberty and tolerance might havé been lost.” Another Fade-Out of the Frontier It requires the passing out of a character such as “Poker Alice” Tubbs from the drama of the West to bring to realization just how far the wild and wooly era of the frontier has receded into the perspective of time. With the buffalo, the adventurous scouts, the Indian warpath, the gold digging days, the trapper, the path- finder and the covered wagon, such characters of a vir- ile and romantic period mainly have gone over the hori- zon into the limbo of the remote. Yet the death of this frontier woman serves to remind, us that her era was not along ago, that when it faded out she lingered as a left-over. The amazing feature of it all is that such characters as this woman still are left with us. ' There is something very melancholy about the passing of the frontier veterans, Thiese people like Poker Alice belonged in the periad of the nation’s youth. They were, so to speak, youthful outbursts; they could not have existed in an‘ older, more’ settled civilization. Now they are going—and the nation, by the same token, is losing its youth. We are growing’ up, in spite of ourselves. ‘Wg do not always realize the extent to which we are all affected by the nearness of the old frontier. Every American living today has that as‘part of his heritage. He grew up with the wild west still a living memory. Poker Alice, Calamity Jane, Deadwood Dick, Buffalo Bill and the others, with their picturesque names and their wild, untamed manners, were still on the hori- zon, or just over it. The tratition that they.represented had not yet died out. It formed a strong part of what we like to call “the American spirit.” But that could not last, The science and industry of the new nation cut its youth down to a brief span. The railroads brought the west clase to the east, and the au- | tomobile pulled it closer; and then came such things as the radio and the airplane to weld east and west into one unity—and the frontier was gone forever. men and women whipped nature into submission—was blessing. If it gave the national character strength, erations of people to live lives in which there was ex- citement, hard work, achievement—but very little of case, pay any attention to anything but the material side of their civilization, And that attitude, along with the finer qualities, is one of the things our pioneer ira- dition has bred into us. We are slowly getting away from.it; already, on the far horizon, one can get @ glimpse, now and then, of the: fine things that shall be done in this land in the future. But we shall not do them until we haye left our frontier a little bit farther behind.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Neck 8: naps Question: A. G. writes: “My neck continually makes @ snapping noise at the slightest turn or movement. It isn’t at all painful, but very annoy- ing. I have noticed it more recently than ever before. I am 21 years old."¥ Answer: The grinding noise in your neck may be caused by the losseness of the ligaments or a lack of fluid in the joints. The best regime is to exy ercise twice daily, so as to improve the strength of the museles there, and better the circulation. Take the ex- ercise gradually at first or you will have @ sore neck. Cornmeal Question: Mrs. R. L. writes: “I have followed your advice for consti- pation, and I should like to know how to eat cornmeal, since milk and starchy food should not be used to- gether. How should other cereals be eaten?” Answer: It is best to use cornmeal or the other cereals with only cream or butter. Cream contains very littl = | protein, and butter almost none at all Do not make the mistake of believing that milk and cereals form a danger- ous combination, but the use of cream or butter in place of the milk is to be ry Question: Mrs. 8. M. writes: “My husband was shot in the eye when he ‘was 12 years old, thereby losing the eye. If we have any children would they have the same affliction?” Answer: There would be no danger of any of your children being affected by the loss of your husband’s eye through an injury. “ (Copyright, 1930, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
