NO MORE WAR —Nation ahall not
lift up sword against nation neither
shall they learn war any more. —Isaiah
2 4 *
BORAH IS SPECIFIC.
Senator Borah 19 specific and de
finite when he speaks But his decla
ration in the Senate the other day Is
one time he made an address when
the other end of Pennsylvania avenue
wishes he hadn't done It. To all ap
pearances now. It seems that Presi
dent Hoover. If re-elected at all, will
get back into office without the aid
ing and abetting of the orator from
Idaho
"I win not." was hts reply to a
polntblank question from Senator
Lewis, Illinois Democrat, as to wheth
er or not he will support the Presi
dent on the Republican platform
adopted last week at Chicago. The
way Mr. Borah sizes It up, the Re
publican convention, man for man,
was overwhelmingly in favor of re
peal of the eighteenth amendment, but
adopted a plank that more or less
straddled th Issue, merely proposing
to submit the question to the people
and thus bidding for both wet and dry
■upport. He also predicted that the
platform would be virtually forgotten
©r Ignored by the arrival of the hectic
days of October, just before the elec
tion, and 'that as soon as the cam
paign is over, the platform will go
th# way other similar documents have
gone In other years, and the party will
favor outright repeal.
Borah is an irreconcilable prohibi
tionist. He holds, and he Is close to
right about it. if not so entirely, that
repeal means the return of the
saloon Talk o( government control
is nothing more nor leas than a soft
aoaping of the drys. if that be possible,
or at least a bid at the gullibility of
those on the fence. What do those who
Are frantic for the overthrow of the
eighteenth amendment care about
safeguarding and protecting the rights
of those states that will desire to re
tain the prohibition laws they had
before the amendment was adopted?
The answer is one word—nothing.
Mr. Hoover tried to insert a plank
In the platform that would catch both
the wets and the drys. It has turned
out that he has apparently alienated
both, and may find himself out on a
limb from which he is unable to with
draw him Alf. He may abandon the
party platform berore election time,
or find a very elastic way of inter
preting tt. Mr. Borah rather thinks
that Is what will happen. Maybe it
will. At least the Idahoan is lost to
the President, unless some kind of
reconciliation can be effected.
MR. HOOVER'S PROPOSALS.
President Hoover Is moving in the
right direction when he proposes to
the world a reduction of one-third in
the size of the armaments of the na
tions. Armaments and past wars,
which are responsible for them, and
wars that are feared in the future
that Inspire their continuance, are
at tbe bottom of much of the world's
misery today. Certainly the tax load
could be materially reduced under the
plan the President has brought for
ward.
Prance, of course, and as usual,
proves to be the fly In the ointment.
No sooner had tbe new proposal be
come known at the Geneva disarma
ment conference, now In session, than
the French war minister blabbed out
an “absolutely unacceptable” remark.
He raised the old alibi of guarantee
ing his country's safety, when France
would be Just as safe under the new
system as she is at present, If all
bands were to trim their war ma
chines by a third- Basse nqr failed or
refused to take into account the fact
that Germany, whom he so much
fears, and Italy, which he also holds
under suspicion, would be one-third
more impotent the same as France.
It will not do any harm to remem
ber that it is France that is holding
up a reparations agreement at Laus
anne by sticking out for the last
pound of flesh in payments by a
bankrupt Geermany. Once there Is an
economic collapse in the German re
public, one that Is full and complete,
France not only will get no more re
parations, but she will see rise up
across the Rhine the ghoet of the old
monarchy, for It will then be a Hitler
or a Hohenxollern crown prince in the
saddle, and it is certain they will not
pay any more.
Mr. Hoover's scheme includes the
complete and total abolition of bomb
ing planes and also the restriction of
aircraft carriers. It is generally sup
posed that the next war. if and when
it comes, will be fought in the air.
There are repeated stories from many
quarters about deadly gases and .high
explosives that have been invented
ertnee the World War. and which could
be rained down in small quantities
but powerful enough to wipe out
whole cities. The very contemplation
of such a scheme is frightful in the
extreme. The most cslloused souls can
scarcely conceive of such brutality as
that would be by so-called civilized
peoples. Yet it may as well be ex
pected if there shall be another great
conflict.
The rank and file of the world’s
people will favor such a disarmament
program as the President has out
lined. The politicians, the statesmen
and tbe diplomats, goaded on by the
makers of munitions and engines of
war in general, are the folks who
must be handled. Even the crushing
burden of great armaments has not
been sufficient to arouse them from
their lethargy and indifference, or
determination, as the case may be.
In the light of Ambassador Gib
sons statement to Premier Herriot at
Lausanne Monday night, 'there may
be a connection between that and the
disarmament proposal. It is recalled
that Gibson told the Frenchman that
America would not listen to sugges
tions of debt cancellations so long as
Europe refused to disarm. Is this,
then, a negative pledge toward debt
revision?
But in all the discussion there is
never a mention by this Republican
administration of a downward revision
of tariffs, wherein lies one of the
greatest obstacles to the economic fre
covery of the nations. Link the three
together and a long step forward will
have been taken.
MAKING ROOM FOR MORE.
If all the one hundred counties in
the State were as generous as Vance
—and we say it with a sense of
humiliation —in furnishing new re
cruits for the penitentiary. Governor
Gardner would have to step up his
pace even beyond his present rapid
strides in turning out criminals to
make room for more. There may not
be accommodations for all of them all
the time, but they must all be given
a taste of prison life when they have
violated the penal code.
This is not to intimate that exe
cutive clemency is being extended by
way solely of lightening the burden
and opening the way for new-comers,
but at the present rate men and wo
men are being sent to'State’s Prison
the problem Is coming to be one of
the moat urgent that have to be grap
pled with.
Modern criminologists are practical
ly unanimous in the theory that Incar
ceration is, or should be. chiefly an
attempt at reformation. Punishment,
as such and of itself, does not undo
the damage that has been done by
the criminal nor bring back life to
the murderer’s victim. The best it can
do and the most that can be hoped
for from it is byway of reform and
prevention. The convict is shut away
-from society and is cooped up where
he can no longer be the public menace
he wu when he had his liberty. But
the ultimate in prison sentences is to
build new lives on old foundations that
have crumbled. If one day behind
the bars would bring about that
transformation, with assurances that
repairs were permanent, and that the
individual could receive back his free
dom as a new man or woman, that
would he a wise solution and a help
ful policy. Moreover, in most In
stance*, though not all. prisoners who
have .been paroled do respect the
consideration that has been shown
them and make an honest effort to
go straight. In such Instances cle
mency Is Justified.
The right sort of treatment by those
in authority at prisons and In deten
tion camps oftener than otherwise
arouses the good that is In the crim
inal, and many of them return to their
former places In society to live with
in the law. Mistakes are made, of
course, but there is always a string
tied to the man paroled that can be
seized upon to pull him back when
he fails to measure ftp to the con
fidence placed in him.
It is a difficult problem from any l
viewpoint Twenty-five paroles in two
days is quite a mark for a governor
to set .and there will not be general
agreement with such a policy of
HENDERSON, IN. C.,T DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1982
wholesale clemency. But there la, on
the one hand, the desire to rebuild
broken lhrtea and to give them a new
chance, and on the other the constant
and urgent necessity of finding ac
commodations for the continuous in
flux of new criminals, and that In the
face of already overcrowded prisons
and the lack of money with which to
build more, or even' to find work to
do for those who are always com
ing in.
‘ * It
AND THAT'S THAT.
Viscount Ishll, former Japanese am
bessartor to Washington, did some
very plain talking at a dinner in
Tokyo the other night in honor of
the American ambassador to Japan,*
Joseph C. Grew. Just why he should
have been so brazen is not clear, un
less he felt the time had come to call
a spade a spade. He stated In so many
words that 'any attempt on the part
of the United States to dominate Asia
would mean war Japan. He was
kind enough, however, to justify a
possible war with this country If his
own should undertake “to unduly In
terfere In the western hemisphere.”
The viscount, somewhat cushioned
the effect of his remarks by the etate
ment that an armed oonflict between
the two nations was extremely im
probable.
In other words, the former am
bassador gave the United States to
understand that she must keep out
of the Orient and Japan would steer
clear of the western hemisphere. To
state It more plainly, “you stay In
your own back yard and I’ll do the
same." And that’s that.
America can take it as she pleases.
The utterance was shorn of the usual
lubricated diplomatic language. It was
plain talk; so plain, in fact, that,
measured by any sort of yardstick, it
will not create any greater love for
Japan in this country. Maybe such
frankness is to be admired; at any
rate, it at least removes the necessity
for speculation as to the Japanese
complex. But why should it have been
made at all? Is the world to judge
by Ishii’s remarks that his country
and ours are growling at each other
across the wide expanse of the
Pacific, and that this is fair warning?
One might with ease suppose as much.
LIQUOR'S TOLU
Some, propagandists say the liquor
laws have failed, which, of course is
altogether untrue, except as to those
people who will break the law for
liquor.
They should go further in their
veiled praise of liquor and honestly
tell the folks that liquor has seldom
failed to destroy Ita . lover and its
worshipers.
First of all. it make them seek some
words or praise tn Its false name.
They can safely say that liquor has
not failed to kill its thousands and
garb millions in rags. It has not fail
ed to destroy the vitality and health
of unnumbered hosts. It has not fail
ed to carry its thousands to county
homes, prisons, and insane asylums—
those who would have lived happy,
sober, honest lives but for the demon
in the alcohol that destroyed their
reason, shattered their nerves, and
banished their morals.
All laws were made to help
man morally, and spiritually, which
they will do when obeyed. They bless
all people who obey them. Liquor
curses the man who refuses to obey
the law. AH we need is an honest look
at the man who keeps the law and the
man who breaks it for proof that the
law is good.—Wiiliamston Enterprise.
DO TOU REMEMBER?
Just to test your memory, and bring
back thoughts of what you now refer
to as "the good old days,” take a
moment off and see If you can re
member when folks stayed at home
and popped corn and ate apples?
When you rode on the one-horse de
livery rig? When barbers told funny
stories? When Dad used the razor
strop and said it hurt him most?
When children walked to school?
When the whole family sat on the
front porch hn Sunday afternoon?
When mother cut your hair around a
bowl? When you looked forward all
winter to the swiminin’ hole and the
no-piece bathing suit? When you rode
a bike on the old wooden sidewalks?
When the children got tn at night
before their parents went to bed?
When an evening out was as big an
•vent as an evening at home now?
When bread was a nickel, when plea
were ten cents and you could trade
an egg at the grocery for a penny
stick of candy? If you can .then you
are entitled to be classed as an “old
timer."—Mooresvllle Enterprise.

Paris, June 28—Flick-flack of the
boulevards;
From many a sidewalk case table I
have watched those hawkers of Orien
tal rugs . , 801-
emu - eyed Turks
with their bright
ly colored wares
slung across a
sturdy arm . .
Never have I seen
a sale consum
mated, yet they
must somehow
get on . . When
you think of it, it
—IT ■ l
is a little extraordinary for a person
to sit down for a cup of coffee or a
glass of beer and end up by buying a
rug.
What lengths of invention have
combined to produce that potpourri of
novelties offered for sale to case pa
trons !. /. Everything from postcards
whiclj/mew like cats to salt cellars
which moo like cows . . . The other
day I weakened and bought a pair of
the most engaging lov e birds I’ve sver
seen . . .
An ancient Frenchman offered them
among the stppers at the Caf« de la
Paix . . . The birds emerged from
their cage at his bididng and did as
tounding aerial tricks, following each
other from arm to wand to finger to
cage, dizzily, haartwarmingly . . They
e?.'en performed for me—but only once
As soon as they'd left their master's
care they struck sullenly to their cage
and refused to budge, under coaxing
in two languages . .
Worse, on the second day, of
them died . . . Whether it was the
gentleman or his wife. I’ll never know
but I did know that the survivor would
quickly follow his mate to oblivion or
whatever heaven love birds have
Within two hours the lone bird began
to droop ... It Is an invariable pe
culiarity of the species . . .
This morning the following pneu
matique arrived at my door through
v»«t air-pressure-tube system of
Paris . . . "Try putting a pocket mir
ror in the cage” ... It was signed by
Joe Zfelli, the famous night club im
pressario ... I took the tip and the
remaining bird, sure that its mate hae
returned every time it sees its own
reflection, has begun to perk up...
MISFORTUNE DELUXE
One of the strangest phenomenon
of the boulevards this year is the ap
pearance of a pair of those tragic
creatures whose ' heavily mascaraed
eyes are an old shame n the side
streets of Europan cities—in a smart
little coupe... They cruise about now,
flashing enticing smiles to male ped
estrians : . . r
Prices in Paris this year ar* uni
formly higher. It seems to me than in
tbe past.. Apartment rents, it is true,
are 10w...A smartly furnished three
room suite can be had for the equiva
lent of about 150 a month. ..Suit food
Is expensive.. .Good food is costly of
course, the world over and It is pos
sible in Paris today to spend 320 on an
(epicurean meal for two. ..
PARIS WEATHER
Now I know why Paris in the spring
and summer has so romantic a repu
taeion. ..The weather here is as cap
ricious as a star of the Opera Comi
que.. .Heavy cloudys and brief, violent
downpours are followed, after minu
tes by bursts of expansive sunshine.:.
I have seen the Alps with their pic
ture postcard perfection of beauty,
and I have peeked, on occasion, at
some of the more famed American
and European views but ,1 contend
that the most moving sweep of sky
and city In the world is that to be
had from the top of Montmarte—
Sacre Coeur —at sunrise...lt doesn't
a you Hke tih* panorama from
the Empire State building, but Ml
brings an odd, mellow tump into your
throat.. .Standing there on the spot
where a temple to Jupiter stood a
thousand years ago...
•Sacre Coeur’a 8 o’clock mass Is a
sight to bring a flare of fktth into the
heart of the most confirmed agnostic.,
It woqld seem to me that lovers would
seem to me that lovers would travel
there from all over the world to stand
in that vast catihedrial and watch the
candle-lighted eerily pious, ritual <rf
worship at the far end... On th* wall
of the garden in the rear, as on all
religious ®dlf!ee« in France is a bell
with the Inscription: "Ring Here If
You Yant to Worship Late at Nl^xt.”
DISTINCTION
One unmistakable difference exists
between Broadway and the Ru* des
Italians.. .On the latter street the
other evening Mistlngtfette, the In
ternationally famed anisic hall star for
nearly a generation strolled with a
friend. There was a hush, a whisper
through th* cFbwde . Every eye turn
ed... On Broadway the passage of a
celebrity would have occasioned noth
ing of the kind.
ST. PETER GREETS EDITOR.
The editor stood at the pearly gate.
His face was worn and old;
He meekly asked of the man of fate
Admission to the fold.
"What have you done?” St. Peter
asked,
"To seek admission here?"
"Oh, I ran a country printing plant
On earth for many a year.”
The gate swung open sharply
As Peter touched the bell.
"Coma in,” he said, “and take a harp;
