(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Lesson From 1929 Almost every day something hap- pens to give us a clearer vision of the sort of civilization that we had in this country before the 1929 crash. Most recent were the tales about easy money in Wall Street, told to the senate committee in Washington by a series of witnesses. These stories make a strange, rather surprising picture. The Raskob pool, it seems, cleaned up $5,000,000 in a week. A group of other traders organized by a free- lance put through an operation that netted the free-lance a million in five weeks, although he had not put up any of his own money. Another company whose stock. was being ma- nipulated by a big pool managed to pay out dividends of $1,500,000 on net Profits of $1,000,000. And so it went. High finance seems to have been just a little bit higher, in those gay days, than most of us ever realized. Now that it is too late, we are learning things. We are learning, for instance, that our famous prosperity had a hectic, unhealthy tinge to it. It was too tur- bulent, too febrile; it made us lose sight of the fact that what goes up is apt to come down, sooner or later —with a bang. It will be a good thing if we can keep all of that in mind. For we are very apt, these days, to long wist- fully for a return of the bright days of 1928 and 1929, to look back on the prosperity of those years as some- thing to which we must return just as soon as we have found out how to clamber out of this depression; and the days of easy money are not, really, worth returning to. | For those days paved the way for! these days in which we are suffer- ing now. The time when a group of clever market manipulators could knock off $5,000,000 in a week, ‘the time when a trader could clear al million without investing a cent of} his own, were directly responsible for the time of 8,000,000 unemployed. When we look ahead to prosperity, | let's look ahead to a saner kind; a} kind that won't strew as much easy money about Wall Street, but that will be a little bit more enduring. Urgency of Politics There is no great enthusiasm over | Hoover's candidacy outside of those who profit, politically. Yet the party was forced to renom-} inate him. Many delegates felt that their stand on prohibition is repugnant. | Yet the party was forced to take/ a modified dry position when most candidates personally would have preferred the Nicholas Murray Butler cure. No delegate felt like throwing his | hat in the air at the mention of Charlie Curtis of Kansas for vice- president. Yet the party was forced to swallow | his candidacy for better or for worse. Such is the urgency of politics. | Hardly as Intended William Stern, Republican national | committeeman from North Dakote and an affable gentleman was quoted at Chicago as saying the North Dakota delegation would wait and see what President Hoover wanted on the pro- hibition question before committing itself. The explanation was simply that Hoover is the leader of the party and the North Dakota group was willing to follow. The dispatch probably was correct but we hope it was in error for we feel, somehow that it does not prop- erly represent the attitude of the Re- publican party in this state. The idea of holding a convention at all, so the theory goes, is that the people may advise the leaders of the party of their attitude on all pressing questions. Presumably a convention's actions are motivated from the bot- tom up father thani from the top| purify More Hoover Expediency (An Editorial) Again the Republican party hedges upon the prohibition issue. It approaches the presidential campaign trying to carry water on one shoulder and rum on the other. Orders came straight from the white house that political ex- Pediency must dictate the platform pronouncement on the 18th amendment. Delegates were told in plain terms by Delegate McNab of Cali- fornia, the man who nominated President Hoover four years ago, that a vote to sustain the clear, fearless stand of the minority report for a “yes” or “no” vote on the liquor issue would be in effect a re= Pudiation of their leader in the white house, The net results of the hours of debate, featured by the spec- tacular parade of the wets, will be pleasing neither to the dripping wets or the arid drys. Action taken early Thursday morning by the delegates, controlled and voted largely by the federal machine, puts the Republican party as an organization on the fence insofar as the 18th amendment is concerned. The issue is begged again. The situation becomes more com- Plicated and the Republican party will have as hard a time cx- plaining to the voters what the 18th amendment plank means as did its adherents in seeking on the convention floor to clarify that portion of the platform for the delegates. * Scanning the vote on what promises to be one of the major issues in the 1932 presidential campaign, it is disclosed that ap- proximately 40 per cent of the delegates supported the minority report on the 18th mendment. This report followed closely the resolution adopted recently by Indiana Republicans, and if adopted would have given the voters an opportunity to face the issue of Prohibition squarely, fearlessly and militantly. So clouded, so vague, so conflicting is the majority report that its adoption indicates a most sinister trend in political develop- ment. This report refers hypocritically to the gains under the amendment which it pretends to safeguard. Here the Republican leaders make their bow and concession to the drys by going on record as recognizing some saving grace in the much-disputed 18th amendment. The majority report sets up a dual system of liquor control. Republican leaders now inthe saddle would, as congress deter- mines, submit some kind of a constitutional amendment impowering the states to settle the liquor issue for themselves with certain re- strictions and under certain compulsions of federal authority. ‘What these are to be are not set forth, but doubtless the Republican machine has in mind a perpetuation in part of the federal police system and supervision over liquor manufacture and sale which have failed so lamentably under present conditions. Republican leaders headed by Senator Bingham of Connecticut and Nicholas Murray Butler of New York, backed by those states whose votes usually elect Republican presidents, put their side of the question before the delegates fearlessly and without equivoca- tion, They wanted no political expediency to rule the day on this issue. Speakers in support of the minority report were undaunted as advocates of the Hoover federal machine pictured a broken and disrupted party unless the white house wishes prevailed in the wording of the platform on the liquor issuc. Southern delegates, dominated by the Hoover managers, some of whom will never be allowed to vote in their own precincts, saved the day for the advocates of expediency and political exigency. Al- most to a man the kept delegations, sent from the south to do as they are told, voted against the minority report, while delegates from those Republican states which normally bear the burdens and the brunt of Republican campaigns were powerless to prevent a pat- ronage defeat. It was ever thus! Such was the situation in 1912 in Chicago which split the Republican party wide open on the issues between Taft and Roosevelt. Had it not been for the servile support of Southern delegates out of that convention doubtless would have come a solution of Republican difficulties which might have saved the party from ignominious defeat. The unsatisfactory settlement of the liquor issue by the Repub- licans at Chicago may not split the party organization, but mil- lions of voters are reserving their decision until after the Demo- cratic party convenes. It may be too much to hope that the Demo- crats will write a plank which will declare for resubmission of the 18th amendment on the basis contained in the Republican minority report. Many leaders will return home disgusted with the leadership of their party. It bungled the farm relief program at Kansas City four years ago and it has more than bungled the liquor issue at Chicago in 1932. It is a case of too much Hoover expediency. Far better had it been had the man in the white house come out squarely for a continuation of what he has referred to as a “noble experiment.” That would have allied on his side millions of honest, fearless people who believe in the 18th amendment. Republicans cannot hope to win support by a plank which is half wet and half dry. In Lincoln's time there were those who sought to achieve a balance between slavery and anti-slavery. They failed. " The liquor issue, because it affects personal habits and indi- vidual liberty, can only be definitely settled by Permitting the peo- ple of the United States to vote whether they want the 18th amend- ment or do not want it.

INSULIN FOR PROGRESSIVE CHRONIC ARTHRITIS Arthritis is medical Greek for joint inflammation. | Acute arthritis is well understood. Ordinary chronic arthritis, com- monly dubbed “rheumatism” is like- wise well known to be a focal infec- tion, that is, germs of one strain or another (such as Streptococcus hein- olyticus) which are cultivated in some septic bed in the tonsils, about \the root of a tooth, in the pelvic or- gans of men or women, lodge in the tissues of the joint and set up a low |grade inflammation there, which jeventually seriously cripples the af- fected joint. | But there are a minority of cases |of chronic progressive arthritis, vari- ously known as rheumatoid arthritis, atrophic arthritis, arthritis deform- ans, which we do not understand, and {when I say that I mean no one knows \the cause of this type of arthritis. Some students of arthritis have re. garded this atrophic form (atroph: |means wasting and gradual loss o: juse) as of metabolic nature. That is, |they assume it depends on some fault jin the assimilation or utilization of |food or the oxidation or combustion |Of body tissue. But this theory is ex- | |ceedingly unsatisfactory and treat- iment based on it has given indiffer- ent results. Of course that does not prove anything one way or another. It is pretty well agreed, among phy- sicians of experience that infection is not a factor, at least not the main factor in this form of arthritis. Last year we told here of a method of treatment which had been used in France with considerable success— not a cure, just a helpful treatment. This is a course of hypodermic injec- tions of parathyroid hormone. Only a physician can safely administer such treatment. It brings to the patient a definite metabolic boost, increased activity, increased well being. Phy- sicians who have given such treat- ment compare the results with the STICKERS T--=IT==NAL | Two consonants and three vowels are missing from the above word.

She tossed her head back, shaking the tangled mass of dark hair into becoming disarray.. Then she sat down in the big chair, leaned back and surveyed the room. She made an amusing picture. Pulled about her and tied securely at the waist was Dan Phillips’ old dressing gown. Suddenly she jumped up and ‘went to the dressing table.

After all there was nothing to do until Dan called. A breath of fresh air and brisk walk would be good for her, She discarded the dressing robe and hung it away. Dan’s clothing crowded’ the tiny closet to over- flowing. As Cherry turned she real- ized what a really hideous room this was, Dark, dismal paper on the walls. Worn spots in the carpet. What a contrast to her rose and blue boudoir at bome! Cherry considered this a moment, then shrugged. “We won't stay here long,” she told herself. “Dan said we could move and I'll begin look- ing at apartments right after lunch.” The beige crepe Cherry had worn the night before hung over a chair, She held it up, shaking her head.

An apple-cheeked waitress in a fresh yellow uniform smiled at Cherry and presented the menu card. “Orange juice, coffee and toast,” the girl ordered. Sh read the newspaper to its full sise and glanced at the first page hastily. A heading caught her eye. MISS DIXON BRIDE OF NEWSPAPER REPORTER It was on.y @ paragraph. The brief report stated that Miss Cherry Dizon, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Walter J. Dixon of Sherwood Heights, and Daniel Phillips, re porter for the Wellington News, had been married the night before by Justice of the Peace Cunning: bam. The paragraph listed the schools Cherry had attended, add- ing that she was a popular mem- ber of the younger social set.” An- other sentence stated that Dan was on the News editorial staff and pre- viously had been employed by the Sentinel. Lost in these thoughts Cherry scarcely noticed when the waitress returned with ber order. She re membered presently, drank the orange juice and coffee and nibbled at the toast. Then she paid ber bill and departed. She went directly to the hotel, anxious ¢o hear from Dan.

Miss Lacey was equal to the emergency. Sha greeted Cherry effusively, Yes, she had seen the announcement of the marriage in the newspaper and thought it was romantic! An elopement of course. And what could she show the little bride today? Cherry had set out intending to be economical. A practical woolen day dress was what she wanted.
