Logan Payne Co. cHtcAGo NEW TORK. BOSTON Se een Ee en EEO Inequality The mother of sevén small children was arrested in New York City the other day for operating a still. She is in a police station cell; her month-old twin daughters are being cared for in a hospital, a Children’s society has two more and neighbors are looking after the other three. ‘The still, a small one, had been in operation only a few days. A city policeman made the raid gfter a tene- ment inspector had discovered it. Now a sob-sister could probably write quite a story about this mother. But that isn’t what we're trying to do here. Our object right now is to call your attention to another incident that happened in the same city on the same day. While this woman's still was being raided, a fire was breaking out in a six-story warehouse in another part of New York. It was a disastrous fire, taking the lives of three men; and when the flames died down and the firemen went into the ruins, they found that this ware- house had housed an enormous distillery—the largest, it is said, ever operated in New York since prohibition went into effect. ‘The still was so elaborate, in fact, that hundreds of tons of machinery were installed. No one had ever mo- lested it, however. If it had not been for that accidental fire the thing probably would be operating yet. You might take time out for.a minutc to contrast these two stills. One—a small one, relatively unimportant to the liquor supply of a big city—gets raided two or three days after it is put into operation. ‘The other—a tremendous one, so big that it is almost impossible to understand how it could even have been installed without attracting the attention of some official agency—had enjoyed no one knows how many months of immunity. In the end it was destroyed, not by the police or federal agents, but by an accidental fire. This contrast is something you can’t laugh off. It rep- reeents a big problem. The little fellow gets raided; the big fellow goes scot free. 4 You can figure out for yourself why things heppen that way. The South’s Big Cities One of the interesting disclosures of the census is the rise of the South's leading cities in population. Industry, such as steel in Birmingham, oil, as in Texas, river com- All of which, of course, is just another testimonial— though none is needed—to the high calibre of the en- listed men in these two branches of Uncle Sam's mili- tary service. A Dangerous Sport , ‘The average man, whose experience with motorboats is limited to those comfortable picnic-party craft that chug along placidly at about 12 miles an hour, may find it hard to understand how Major Segrave could be fatal- ly injured when his speedboat capsized during a trial run. A plunge into the water from an ordinary boat means nothing moré than a wetting. But a boat traveling at high speed is a risky proposition, Falling into the wa- ter from a boat going better than 60 miles an hour is ‘as injurious as falling on a concrete pavement at that speed. Major Segrave's boat was zipping along at more than 100 milés an hour when it overturned. Driving a boat at that clip is quite as dangerous as racing in an automobile. ‘The likable major's tragic death emphasizes the fact. Not a Small Fight News dispatches filtering through from India indicate that spokesmen for the British government have not becn entirely candid, to say the least, in declaring that the prosent unrest in India is due chiefly to the discon- tent of small groups and that the nation as a whole is not seriously involved. The latest bit of news tells how two brigades of British infantry are fighting with 25.000 natives along the north- western frontier. That hardly looks like a minor clash. Numbers like that arc rather impressive. An affair of that kind can be called a “battle” rather than a “clash” or a “riot.” ‘There is little reason to believe that England's grip on India will be materially lessened by the present trouble. But it is growing more evident daily that the uphcaval is @ conflict of major proportions. The Solid South Again The result of the North Carolina primary evidently indicates that the Solid South is apt to be with us for some time yet in presidential years, despite the results of 1928. Party loyalty is still accounted a virtue there, as Sena- tor Simmons learns. Quite obviously, those who were anticipating a new cra for the Republicans in the Tar Heel state will have to revise their notions. ‘The last presidential election serves notice that there re one or two issues which can make the southern Democracy mark Republican ballots. But when those issues aren't present, anyone who looks for Republican victories below the Mason-Dixon line is simply deluding himself. Sclentists now declare that there is vegetable but no human life on the planet Mars. The pity of !t is that 80 much spinach has to go to wasic. Editorial Comment A Closed Incident (Arkansas Gazette.) The world was created in six days, no senate confirma- tion being necessary. Clothes and Clothes (Chicago Tribune Men are afraid to change their styles in clothes. ‘Women are afraid not to.

Ten years ago Dixie had only one city boasting more than a quarter of a million inhabitants—New Orleans. But the march ef industry south of the Mason and Dixen line had started, It has continued—textile mills, ‘water power, coal and iron, manufactories—hence the happy family cf quarter-million babies. The South's newcomers to the select circle and their 1920 populations include: City 1030 1920 Atlanta . + 67901 200,616 Houston . > 290,011 138,276 Dallas .. + 260,307 158,976 Birmingham 0+ 357,657 178,808 San Antonio . + 284,562 * 161.379 Memphis .. 252,047 163,351 Atlanta did considerable stretching to reach her 1930 total, taking several suburbs into a borough system, but even so, the city proper increased to 266,557. Now Orleans which had 387,219 population in 1920 will show more than 400,000 when the actual figures are finally determined, while Louisville, with 234,698 ten years ago has gone to approximately 300,000. As recently as 1910, the South had only seven cities ‘with 100,000 or more population. Early census returns of 1930 already have given her five new ones—Tampa, Fla., 100,910; Jacksonville, Fla., 120,682; Chattanooga, ‘Tenn., 119,439; Miami, Fla., 110,025; Knoxville, Tenn., 105,202; and El Paso, Tex., 101,975. The Races Bismarck’s annual race meet seems to be set for a fixed event. In entries, races and in crowds attending it is on the way to permanency, after three years of experiment. It is working out thet organization that comés from ex- Perience and which is essential if the meet is to endure. This is @ fine outcome for the capital city. The races thereby become @ fixed asset in the resources of Bis- : Thus far the horse feature of the meet has been 8 Gratifying success. Tomorrow the automobile races will make their appeal. They are a fitting climax to three days of harness sport and will, year by year, prove a strong item in the racing program. M4 Here's hoping the meet will terminate’ in a thorough success. Mrs. C. K. Bryan, the innovator, the business men who are sponsoring the event and the city which provides the locale all deserve that outcome.

Mr. Morrow declared for repealing the prohibition amendment and letting this problem revert to the states, ee that is by no means the most important fact about im. The most important fact about Morrow is his char- acter—his great ability, his simple and democratic con- tact with his fellow men and his wide sympathy with humanity and its problems. Those who know him best say that he is notable for his ability, but not less notable for the great likableness which grows out of his warm interest in all of his neighbors, rich and poor alike, great and humble. What better picture of a man could you ask than the vote in his own home precinct? That vote was: Freylinghuysen, 3; Fort, 15; Morrow, 578. It is a splendid outcome, and the nation congratulates New Jersey on a victory which it should by all means seal at the polls in November. There Are Drawbacks to Size judge. As expected, the census returns show that the trend is still toward the city. Rural sections almost every- where seem to have lost population or just about stood still, while urban centers show gains. Curiously, most people think this is to the good. One of the most amusing side shows of the census was the anxiety of Los Angeles to get ahead of Cleveland and the dejection of the latter city over the idea of being shoved down into sixth place. Bigness is the American fetish. The loudest and silliest of all our boasts is that of the size of our home town. It began in the pioneer days when boom towns made fortunes for those who st » cd them out. And the fervor of the real estate operacor still inspires “civic spirit.” Realtors are at the bottom of the propaganda for mere physical growth, and they are abetted by retail merchants, ankers, bootleggers, ans, C! con- tractors, amusement purveyors and a few other classes who peenpee by congestion. The rest of us are the cus- tomers, the digits in the statistical columns, the suckers. ‘0 us, more population simply means traffic more tangled, politics more insolent, crime more rampant, rents higher, food less fresh, air more polluted, noise more maddening, life more complicated. Any intelligent person ought to be ashamed, rather than elated, to learn that his city has grown gre#fer. Radio and a World Language (Philadelphia Inquirer.) The si tion that the need of a world language of the iven compelling impetus by the development. lio is probably open to frallinae. That a uni- versal speech would aid universal peace has been widely recognized. The increasing number of international ferences, estimated now at 300 a year, ranging from “bicyclists to free thinkers,” is possibly also accelerating a desire. Commerce, too, would be facilitated by the loption of a common medium of-communication. But practical difficulties should not be overlooked. is something civilization has resisted for 10,000 years. The ancients traveled widely over what was then the known world without the neces- sity. of first learning foreign tongues. Nor have closer contacts broken down the barriers.

The act of admission, which was to take effect upon the in- sertion of @ clause providing for the Gradual emancipation of slaves was approved by President Lincoln the previous year. During the Civil War a large part of the population of the state was in arms and more than 32,000 men were furnished to the Federal Army. On entirely in advance of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment. When the Confederate soldicrs re- turned to the southern and eastern counties, it was feared that the Re- publican control of the state would be lost. Accordingly, an amendment was added to the constitution dis- franchising all who had given aid to the Confederacy after June, 1861. In 1869 the number of voters totaled 50,000 and the disfranchised about 30,000. By a compromise, franchise te LH BEGIN HERE TODAY NATALIE CONVERSE, of her = tele!

Raw And by way of Natalle had looked, how rudely she had spoken, when she came to the office, “I'm sorry, Alan,” Phillipa eaid gently, after-a quarter hour of planting and feeding suspicion of Natalie, “but I think Natalié must have made the change in the let ter.” Alan looked at her, and wished she would stop talking. Of course, Natalie had done it. He did not concede this openly, but he felt there was no argument against it He thought he saw clearly what had happened. Natalie had come in, to resume their quarrel, and found Bernadine’s letter in his desk. She was jealous of Bernadine. Per- haps Bernadine’s letter, couched in terms of friendly familiarity, had enraged her. She probably thought about it—working herself up to a pitch of madness that would per- mit her to act dishonorably. Phillipa, watching him as a cat watches & mouse, was tempted to suggest he investigate to see if Natalie had meddled with anything else in bis desk, anticipating hig discovery of the much-used eraser. But common sense warned her was almost certain to do this of his own accord, and that it was best for her that he should. She felt she had said enough, and got up to go.. Alan, with bis head bent, did not look up at ner. At the door she paused, about to ask him if he wouldn't spend the evening with her, but changed ber mind and went quietly out. He was still in bis office when she left for the day. She walked with a light, brisk step, highly pleased with herself. She had slipp6d a note just inside Alan's him to come up if LAN never saw the note. It got kicked under the thick rug —the rug that Natalie had helped him, choose—where it lay for weeks. Then it was tossed into the waste basket by a careless scrubwoman. Not that it mattered. Alan did not want to go to Phillipa’s. He want- ed to go and see Natalie. And he did, about seven o'clock.

She didn’t know how she could sit up—she ry tired—but if Alan came, she did not want him to find her showing the, weakness she felt. Her heart gave a mad, glad, leap when he rang the bell.

He felt that only Words of vital meaning could serve them now. She closed the door, as he strode toward the living room, and fol- lowed him with ever quickening ‘steps. Inside the softly lighted, rather too warm room, he turned and faced her. He was too bitter to see that she was ill. “I didn't come to discuss the weather with you,” he sald with cruel deliberation. Natalie saw that his lips Were curled into thin lines over his fine white teeth, but she could not guess how fierce was the scorn that shaped them so. She stared at him, helpless. she had never seen him like this bs fore.
