Good Politics, Too Comments on the president's ac- tion in attempting to purge the ad- ministration of lawyers who depend for patronage largely on political af- fillation have been uniformly favor- gable, Nearly everyone seems to feel that it will do much to improve the Status of administrative effort if the men in charge are relieved of politi- cal pressure, This is doubtless true. It is a little @ifficult to be really independent and attentive to the interests of the peo- ple alone if it is made clear that, by 80 doing, the enmity of persons pow- erful in the party will be incurred. From that standpoint, all of the comment is justified. There is another angle to the mat- ter, however, which most commenta- tors have overlooked. This is the fact that the move con- stitutes smart politics in the best sense of the word. Nothing could do more to intensify confidence in the national administration than this demonstration that politics is not all- powerful; that the main interest really is the people's welfare. The indication, contained in a re- cent Associated Press story, that na- tional committeemen who have found places on the federal payroll also would be relieved of their duties also is consummate strategy. If it does nothing else it will have the advan- tage of diversifying party interest, an end which political groups constant- ly seek. The case of North Dakota and its national committeeman illustrates the point. H. H. Perry has held this post with some distinction and apparently to the satisfaction of most North Dakota Democrats. He has not been able to meet all the demands made upon him for jobs, but then no one could have done that. If protests have been made against his continuing as committeeman, de- Spite his post as internal revenue col- lector, no publicity has been given to the fact. Yet the administration stands to gain something if the change is carried out in this state. If he were relieved of his political post, Mr. Perry certainly would not be less interested in the success of his party than he is now. He ts bound to it by every tie which makes a politi- cian active, He has done well by it, but it also has done handsomely by him and his loyalty is bound to be a continuing one. Self-interest, if noth- ing else, guarantees that, If @ successor to him as national committeeman were appointed, the new man would be added to the ros- ter of intensely interested party ad- herents. Thus the party would have two active workers where it only had one before, ‘What Quaint Beliefs Has This World! It gives an American a pleasant feeling of superiority to learn that tthe people of Nepal, that mysterious Himalayan kingdom north of India, believe that the recent Indian earth- quake was caused by the flight of three British aviators over Mount Everest last spring. ‘The gods of this mountain, accord- ing to the people of Nepal, are jeal- ous of their peak’s isolation, and get angry whenever presumptuous men try to climb it. When the British airplane went sailing over the summit, the gods de- cided things had gone far enough; so they jarred India with an earth- quake that took 15,000 lives. This quaint tale is believed de- voutly by the superstitious and un- ‘lettered people of the Himalayas, and it all sounds very childish and ig- norant to enlightened folk like our- selves, Yet we have our own troubles in straightening out matters of cause and effect, especially where great na- tional disasters are concerned, and in some ways we don’t seem to be much better at it than the skin-clad tribes- men of Asia. ‘We had our own earthquake, a matter of four years ago, in the form of.@ depression, and it jarred us clear ‘back to our eye teeth. And if there ever was a land in which people did more frantic running around in cir- les trying to figure out the cause of @p earthquake, the history. - books ome of us blamed the tariff and ome of ws blamed the war; some of us blamed the foreign debts and some of us blamed Wall Street; some of blamed our lack of faith in God and some of us blamed the sun spots; some of us blamed Stalin and some of us blamed Andy Mellon. And we are so far from being agreed on the ‘cause, even now, that we can’t agree on how to handle our domestic) economy, our foreign trade, our cur- Tency, or our international relations, to keep it from happening again. And there is something rather frightening in all this confusion. It suggests, somehow, that we are, all of us, enlightened and unenlight- ened, at the mercy of forces which re can comprehend little better than the Himalayan peasants comprehend an earthquake. Perhaps, indeed, we Shall have to accept the Himalayan explanation. We flew over a high mountain and the gods were vexed. iia niin aes i After Recognition Recognition by the United States! government of the new Cuban regime headed by President Carlos Mendieta | brings the troubled affairs of that unfortunate republic appreciably nearer a solution. It 1s only just, however, to recog- nize the fact that a great deal re- mains to be done, and that a lot of it must be done in Washington, be- fore Cuban affairs can be truly sound. ‘The sugar situation has to be un- tangled, somehow. This country prob- ably will be asked to admit from 1,700,000 to 2,000,000 tons of Cuban} sugar; the prosperity of the island| depends very largely on the extent to! which Washington is prepared to be| Generous in that respect. « | Abrogation of the Platt amend- ment, under which the United States has reserved the right to intervene in Cuban affairs, is another matter that awaits attention. Since the admin- istration already has announced defi- nitely that it is discarding the policy of intervention, this should present no difficulty. Given a little assistance at Wash- ington, Cuba can face the future with confidence. Editorial Comment Editoriais printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

I dislike writing the obituary of an} old lady. It seems so futile trying to! set down in writing the things she | did. She was born, she grew up, | joined a church, was married, became @ mother and passed to her reward. The date of her birth, marriage and death are mentioned for they are the | high points of her existence. The story of her life is pitifully short. The life story of her husband would record the facts of his existence and a.so of his business life. Perhaps, too, it would te!! of political triumphs and | of what he had done for the town, the country, the state and the nation. The stranger who might read it would understand that the town had lost_a valuable citizen. We cannot tell, in writing the obitu- ery of a woman, of all the triumphs and disasters of her life. They would ‘ound too petty. When as a bride she and her husband set up a home she assumed responsibilities that she had n:ver known before. She learned to nend long hours doing toilsome work at was never finished. Day after day the same things had to be done and she became an expert at doing them. But these things she did do not deserve mention in the final story of her life. They were not outstand- ing. She risked her life each time a child vas born and, perhaps, once or twice ventured so far into the valley of the shadow that she almost slipped away; and it was only by fighting with every iota of her strength that she was able | to pull through, not always because | ske wanted to live but because she was needed. There was a family for her to care for. But we can't give credit for that. Mothers have been doing that since the dawn of time. She brought her children into the | world, and she washed them and/ dressed them and loved them and| kissed away their tears. She ban- daged their fingers and toes. She nursed them through sickness and she smoothed their paths through life, and all the while she was encouraging her husband and helping him to be- eeme successful. She made his home cheerful and restful. She listened to the stories of try again when disaster overtook him. And when success would come and his head would begin to rise among the clouds she would gently pull him back to earth and continue the proc- out of ten is so predisposed. ess of making a man of him. | on earth to do. At last she comes to the end of the toilsome journey and she is laid to rest. Her funeral is attended by many who did not know her but came out of respect to her husband or her chil- dren who are their friends. The min- ister reads from a slip of paper the uninteresting facts of her birth, mar- riage and death, and names the mem- bers of her family who survive her, but he does not tell all the things she did. partly because they are taken for wranted. You can’t put all that into ap obituary. People might laugh at you for writing it. ‘You should look upon yourself as an artist looks at a work of art.

It was different when the scandal shooters taught publishers the physiology of circulation. The Germans, I think, are respon- sible for most of the quackery in American medicine. I don’t mean honest newspaper, radio and almanac quackery, but the subtle sort which every physician, surgeon or specialist practices more or less, consciously or | without malice aforethought. It comes from German psychology. There is a fatal fascination in Ger-) man psychology. It gets you before you can gather the wits to break the spell and bleat a dissentient “yahbut.” When the German expounder gets underway you hate like anything to interrupt; his very earnest absorp- tion, and his rapt conviction in the right and truth of his idea, forbid the sacrilege. So you just step aboard and ride with him. Here's Herr Dr. P. Schmidt expa- tiating in Deutsche med. Wehnschr. Dec. 2, 1932, on the idea; subject for German analysis, Who's Afraid of the Big . . .

Dr. Schmidt avers that normal per- sons may have their body heat-reg- ulating mechanism put out of action temporarily by a fall into ice water, But he candidly admits that persons who are from the most rigorous chilling.

A point I particularly wish to em- phasize in the German doctor's eluci- dation of his idea is that all he says is sheer conjecture, hypothesis, which may or may not be so. He gives no scientific or experimental evidence to support his hypothesis. But you have Bele oe Mono" EUREKA"? PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

HORDE OF FIGHTING ” PLANES PLANNED 70 BUILD UP Us. NAVY Army Also Would Share in Ex- panded Preparations for National Defense Washington, Jan. 31.—()—A horde of more than 5,000 army and navy fighting planes would be ordered for the two services under plans afoot on Capitol Hill Wednesday as a pre- Paredness cry rang in congress. Efforts aimed at expanding Amer- ica’s fighting forces were seen on both the house and senate sides. Chairman Trammell of the senate naval committee said he would sub- mit Wednesday a favorable report on @ navy bill similar to the Vinson big navy measure passed Tuesday by the house. The bill, virtually assured of senate approval, would give the navy 102 new warships and around 1,180 new airplanes by 1939. Chairman McSwain of the house| military committee said he would in- troduce in the next day or so a bill to give the army air corps a five- total contract assigned. Naval officials estimated the cost at $570,000,000. Officials indicated privately -hat the increased effectiveness of the ships would make the projected fleet superior to the 1919 navy, when 559 vessels were listed as “fit for service.” The army air corps expansion bill to be introduced by Chairman Mc- Swain would increase its officer per- ‘sonnel from 1,250 to 3,450 and its en- | sted roster by about 45,000. The number of army planes would nearly doubled. | The senate Wednesday was pre- {pared for more debate on the At. j Lawrence seaway pact, which is em- ployed by leaders to fill time when no other major measure is available for action, JAPS MAKE COMPARISON WITH AMERICAN NAVY Tokyo, Jan. 31. — (#) — Admiral Mineo Osumi, minister of the navy, stated to the house of representa- tives Wednesday that Japan’s strength in cruisers, destroyers and submarines under the treaty age limits will be slightly superior to that of the United States’at the end of 1936.

They did not speak again until they had reached the top of a long, steeply rising hill. Drew slowed down, turned the car about and parked it beneath a gnarled old apple tree, “Imagine bringing you way up here to kiss you.
