Tuesday'! elections result ought to convince the chief thinker, of the Republican party that the quickest and surest way to a vota, Is through the voter's pocketbook. If the party of Lincoln. McKlnley, Roosevelt the First, and other distinguished notables expect to get any place In November, they should lmmedlstely start acting like Santa Claua, take a chance on getting their cotton batten whiskers Ignited on the Christmas tree candles, and every time the Administration proposes to spend two (3) billion dollars, demand that It be four (4) billion dollars, and howl until It Is made three (3) billion dollars. Everybody Is fond of a spender, and If the OOP would abandon Its economy pleas, a first class squsnderlng contest of national funds would ensue. The articles of Former President Herbert Hoover were conceived in the hone they would make "the people think." They don't want to think: they want to eat, and the logic of the late "Oreat Engineer" makes little. It any, headway against an empty stomach. Mr. Hoover Is now a finished author. Two mors and the Republican party will be finished. As proclaimed and suggested by Her bert, "the Republican party should be re-born." There Is no doubt of It. It should die sa the "Old Nick" (the current Impression of the masses) and blossom forth as a new and Improved model St. Nick, with sn entry through the front door. Instead of down the chimney. .

A atste of near-revolution prevails In Rhode Island, with rioters run ning wild, looters busy, the police helpless, the tar gas exhausted, and orders Issued for the arrest of all known Communists, before they selre the statehouse. Under the guise of strike, agitators long coddled and tolerated prepare to take charce of the proceeeea of government. There la Joy In Moscow, and hell In Woon aocket, R. I.

X riTII riots in the tetile strike " Governor Green of Rhode Island has issued orders to the police to arrest every Communist in the state. If this can be accomplished in federal troops. With the trouble will soon be over. For at the basis of these outbreaks of violence are the paid agents of Moscow. There can be no doubt of this. These boys follow large walkouts in this country, as conscientiously as the card sharps and pick-pockets used to follow the three-ring circus. "TMIESE Reds don't lead the they are safely in the rear violence and bloodshed is as much a result of their underground efforts, as the explosion is the result of a spark striking a charge of gunpowder. By the distribution of inflammable literature by the table thumping tactics of the professional agitator, they adopt the strikers' cause as their own, and then in secret gatherings, work upon the impressionable and irresponsible material, which they shrewdly pick out from the rank and file, and skillfully whip it up to direct and violent action. .... DUT for this communistic agitation and exploitation, this textile strike could easily be settled. The differences be tween the mill owners and the workers arc comparatively slight. In an atmosphere of calm deliberation, the conflicting aims could readily be ironed out. No one however realizes this better than the communist leader himself. So what does he dot The moment the strike order is issued, he gets busy, with his poison nnd the sowing of his powder trail. For one outbreak of violence is better propaganda for him, than a thousand incendiary tracts. He doesn't care who is kiljed as long as the victim happens to be a member of the strik ing mob. For that fatality makes fighting partisans out of thousands, who perhaps were lukewarm in their feeling against the employers before. It also arouses a hatred against the police and the soldiers, which is the communist's ace in the hole, for that means hatred, against the forces of law and order, and eventually against the government. this situation arrives the communist chief is "sitting " pretty "-from his point of view. An elaborate funeral is held.' Thousands of workers, men and women' march behind the hearse to the beat of the muffled drums. The fatality is invariably a victim of corporate greed and oppression, a pathetic martyr to the cause of the rights of the common man. Nothing is as effective in the way of stirring up public sym pathy and spreading far and wide the seeds of communism, as a dramatic spectacle like this. That is why the communists' official pamphlet lays such stress upon the importance of boring into the ranks of organized labor, and in every way. aiding and abetting the callintr of strikes.

BUT and this is the milk in iinmediato or direct if it were it is indirect and the final showdown is for the future.

In four Instances, according t o physician who believes rabies does occur 1 n man. the charac ter of the disease to which the vie time succumbed "was conclusively proven by animal l n oc u lation of brain substance from the suspect' ed persons. This is the most conclusive proof known to science, fulfilling Koch's populate. In five cases ncgrl bodies were found m the human brain." We're funny, we docs, when we wish to appear "scientific." Koch would turn over In his grave If he could hear this strange twist of his postu late. There Is absolutely nothing scien tific about the alleged diagnosis, pre vention or treatment of rabies In man. There is nothing scientific about the diagnosis of rabies In anmals. It Is all a purely empirical question, a question of individual opinion. Even the finding of so-called negrl bodies, regarded by some psychologists as characteristic of rabies, Is a matter of personal opinion merely; one good pathologist will believe the micro scopic section he examines shows such bodies, while another equally competent laboratory pathologist scrutinizes the same microscopic sec tion and believes what his colleague takes for negrl bodies are actually red blood corpuscles of Irregular type. But of course the public get the benefit of the doubt and the laboratory re port of the examination of the ani mal's brain comes back "positive." and another rabies scare Is on. Pasteur virus or any modification of it used for the preventive inocula tion of persons bitten by dogs pre sumed to have had rabies, Is a shot in the dark in the truest sense of the term. Nobody knows what he is doing when he Injects such virus. Nobody has ever determined the character of It. No one has found the cause of rabies. We have no actual scientific test by which we can make sure In any case whether or not the disease Is rabies. It Is all an empirical question, and my opinion la Just as good as the opinion of any other doctor. I know nothing about me aciuai cause of death in any of the 15 oases In the Los Angeles County hospital records in that 10-year period. The records show that "Pasteur treat ment" was instituted in from one to three days after the victim was bitten In six cases, but no "Pasteur treat NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Sept. 13. Joan Lowell at least has proved, In the hard boiled argot of tho day, she can "take ltl" Widely dis cussed and at times as widely doubted, she will not stay down for the count. Always she bob up as the rollicking heroine of some new, daring ex ploit. First her sea faring book snag ged on an upshot of u n f a v orable publicity, then her widely heralded voyage around The Horn on a gim-crack galleon beached in the marshes of Jersey or somewhere. Joan went into tempor ary cloister and was not heard from for some time. Just as suddenly she emerged full blown in one of those "She lives to tell!" movie escapades. Hand to hand fights with savages, death grips with constricting reptiles and all that. So unpredictable Is the young lady th.it no one knows exactly where she will pop up next. Miss Lowell has natural makeup for her adventuring roles. She is a wild chit of barbaric beauty with thick brunette hair and flashing blai-n. v. Her spirit la always hoy- dentoh and those who know her well are staunch in friendship. Whatever her ultimate listing, she added ex citement to the times. In the first flush of her celebrity, I attended a private party where Miss Lowell, upon request, did one of her sinuous dances picked up from ssvagea on some outer rim of the world.

Not very convincing, as to the preventive value of the method. , Personally, if I were bitten by a dog or other animal, or scratched by ani mal or fowl, I should want Immediate first aid disinfection of the wound or scratch with lodln and a suitable sterile or antiseptic dressing. Then I should want an Immediate prop hylic tic dose of anti-tetanic serum (lock jaw antitoxin) snd a second dose of the same serum in a week or 10 days. That is all. I should not want such a wound cauterized or otherwise atro ciously treated. I should not want any Parteur virus Injected. Indeed It Is because Pasteur virus or antt-rablc vaccine Is so crude and unscientific that I should hate to re ceive or give any of it In any case. The Los Angelea County hospital Is one of the largest If not the largest Institutions in the country. These 15 cases In 10 years fairly represent the Incidence of alleged rabies. In all 15 cases the diagnosis was of course a matter of opinion. In four of the cases, as my col league who believes In human rabies says. It was "conclusively proven by animal Inoculation, satisfying Koch's uostulate." But he Is In error about satisfying Koch's postulate or rule or law. In order to do that one must first Isolate the specific germ, culture It outside of the body, then Inoculate animals with the pure culture and produce the characteristic signs of the disease, and finally recover from these animals the specific germ or organism. The Inoculation of an animal such as gulneaplg or rabbit with material re moved from the brain or spinal cord of a peiwn who has died of tetanu. aay, would be likely to produce effects such as were observed In these Los Angeles cases. However, that test Is all blind groping and has no scien tific foundation. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Vitamins Wanted.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT 1 Inform ed on the first anniversary of the federal deposit insurance corpo ration that 97 out of every 100 bank depositors In this country are now Insured by the government. That Is one good thing that has come out of the New Deal. It ought to have come long ago. IP PEOPLE are to go on putting money In the banks, where It will serve as the basis for credit with which to carry on the business of the community, they must have -assurance that they will be able to get it back. That Is the foundation of confi dence, and without confidence we can't have good business. IT MIGHT, of course, have cost a lot of money to Insure bank de posits back In 1930, or thereabouts, but also It might have SAVED a lot of money. And It might have saved a lot of loss of confidence. WILBUR GLENN VOLIVA, disap pointed again, has decided that the world Isn't going to end until September 10, 1942.

T1TE NEWSPAPER men are respon- sible for the -more or less ab surd prominence Vollva has enjoyed for years, for we have regularly spread his predictions on our front pages, thus bringing them to the at tention to the millions of people In this country. Why have we done It? Well, a very famous newspaper man once said that when a dog bites a man It Isn't news, but when a man bites a dog It IS. People LIKE the unusual, and newspaper men are Just shrewd enough business men to give their customers what they like. If they didn't, they'd go out of business. IT IS rather cormnonly said, by a considerable number of people that newspapers should give people what they OUGHT to read not what they WANT to read. Why don't they? Well, a lot of them have tried It, but practically without exception they have gone out of business Just as the clothing man or the grocery man who doesn't give hla customers what they want goes out of business PEOPLE are funny that way.

To the Editor: I would like to bring to general attention a statement made in the editorial of the September 6th Trib une, relative to the government en tering certain -lines of competitive business. Quoted: "At any rate, we would like to see everything else tried FIRST, before we follow, directly or IndJrec ly, In the path of Soviet Russia." This statement reflects the opinion of many people, especially those few for whose benefit our present profit system la maintained. Tills seems to have been a human falling all through the ages relative to any of the other great reforms. Even as far hack as King John of England In 1215, the privileged minority, In this case be ing the royal family In particular, were wont to try anything else flr.it. and conceded the Magna Charta only as a last resort. Let us take a later Instance of this deplorable characteristic at the time of our own American Revolution. What could have been more radical at that time than the Idea then ad vanced that the theory of "the di vine right of kings" was unjust and unscientific? We will find that only as a last resort, did England, as well as the Tories and royal sympathizers In America acknowledge the prin ciples of democracy as we now know them. This reform, so radical in Its day. Is now accepted as the founda tion of our present government. The theory of "the divine right of kings" has been supeceded by a more demo cratic and public-spirited one wlVch maintains that men shall have the right of self-government, not as In dividuals but as an entire society. This Idea was accepted some 150 years ago. We still recognize It and also another theory that was In use even earlier, namely, the sacred right of an employer to his profit, regard less of the cost In human suffering and poverty. It Is an undtaputable fact that nations, like Individuals, must advance or drop Into retrogres sion. Yet we. In our present day society, have advanced In economic principles but little in the past 100 years. I use the Wall Street "Journal" as authority for the statement that Sweden, under a Socialist government, has made a better recovery from the world-wide depression than most. If not all, countries. Still, when this method of escape, not more radical than that advanced by Washington and others of our revered patriots. Is advocated. Individuals who profess to think, publicly state that they would accept It only as a last resort. We also find our supposedly fair and Just forces of government, based a nd founded on those radical principles of yesterday, persecuting and branding as public enemies those engaged In similar reforms today.
