Senator Wheeler Is Right
OENATOR WHEELER of Montana, one of the leading oppo-
nents of President Roosevelt' Supreme Court proposal,
also opposes the new compromise plan.
He favors no radical change in the present procedure regard
ing the court, unless the people sanction the same by a referen
dum vote.
IN the heated discussion, in the senate yesterday, Senator
Wheeler was accused by Senator Logan of seeking "to
destroy the President," through his opposition to this proposal.
How long, asked the Montana senator, has constructive
criticism of a president's policies, been accepted' as an attempt
to destroy him t
Far from having any such purpose in mind, he declared, bis
purpose was quite the reverse.
' Court, reorganization was proposed by close advisers of the
President he explained, on the eve of the last presidential cam"
paign. He persuaded them to abandon the plan, because in
his judgment it would have wrecked the President.
Continuing he remarked:
"I did not wish to see the President meet disaster then,
I do not wish to see him meet disaster now."
WE believe there are thousands of people in the United
Stated who feel i list as Senator Wheeler does.
They don't want either the President or his program to fail.
They have npthing but liking and respect for the President
personally. But they can't go along with him on all the policies
of his second administration.
They don't want the Supreme Court "packed" by him or
any other chief executive, whether it be by one member or by
six. They want the aDsoiute independence or tne judiciary rrora
the executive department maintained, until and unless the
people by constitutional amendment rule otherwise.
UNLESS we are greatly mistaken, they also tfant a clear-cut
enunciation of the administration's labor policy from the
White House.
They want all doubt as to just where the President stands
removed. They can see only trouble ahead if this doubt is not
removed.
They don't want the President to come out AGAINST John
L. Lewis or come out FOR him.
They do want the President to come out for fair play and a
square deal to both sides in this labor-capital controversy,
special privileges and special considerations for neither.
THAT would clear the atmosphere, and let the country go
ahead. Abandoning the effort to rorganizc the Supreme
Court, except by constitutional amendment, would do the same
thing.
And that's what' they want an overwhelmingly large ma
jority of the American people in our opinion, an end to bicker
ing; an end to any more radical reforms until those accepted
have been tested and assimilated; so the country can get
together, forget its partisan differences for a time, ahd as
the popular saying has it, "GO PLACES", in reasonable
harmony and contentment.

OXYGEN AND "NERVOSNE9S"
An Important Job
TJUGH ROSSON has been appointed administrator of traffic
education in this state.
It's an important job. As Mark Twain observed regarding
the weather, there iB a lot of talk, but little is done about it.
There is a. lot of talk about motor accidents, but little is
done to check the mounting list of casualties.
Education appears to be the only answer. For what happens
or doesn't happen to a car, depends almost entirely upon the
skill, good judgment and resourcefulness of the person at the
wheel, what he happens to have not in his car, or his pocket
book, but in his head.
1 A campaign of comprehensive education, intelligently con
ducted, would probably do more than any other one thing, to
make our highways safer than they are today.
rHS is particularly true where young drivers are concerned.
It has been our observation, that reckless driving is largely
confined to two classes first youth, youth full of life, inex
perienced, rarin' to go places. They are as ignorant of the
dangers before them on the highway, as they are of the dangers
before them in life. If a system could be devised whereby they
could be educated, BEFORE they handle a car, instead of
AFTER, when nine times out of ten the education comes too
late, a long step forward would have been made.
THE second class, of course, is the drunken driver. Here
rlrivnra of nil nt?p nre invnlvprl. frtvm flnniino votlth to
intemperate senility. An intoxicated driver has no more place
on our highways, than a mad dog, running wild, on our city
streets.
We have drastic laws against driving while intoxicated.
Some times they arc strictly enforced, more often they aren't.
The practice of changing the charge from drunken to reckless
driving, to spare the feelings and reputation of the guilty party
is all too common.
But in this direction also, education, if it is properly con
ducted, will do more good than anything else. For education
will reach the cause instead of merely punishing the effect.
If all drivers, young and old, can be shown that alcohol and
gasoline don't mix, and if they try to mix them, the result
will mean, anything from a term in tho penitentiary to sudden
death, real progress might be made toward eliminating the
greatest single cause of fatal motor car accidents.
YES Mr, Rosson has an important job. We wi.sh him luck.
Ha ahniiM have anrl iin.iiht a.II. n'ill flu.
support and hearty cooperation of all right-thinking people in
the state.
For in the final analysis the only hope is education, edu
cation built around the strongest instinct in the human animal,
the instinct of self preservation, the will to live.
If the dangers of reckless ami careless driving can be clearly
shown to the people as a whole, then this instinct will do the
rest, tho goal desired will be reached, as far as it is humanly
possible, by letting uattire take its course.

hypothetical states; Indeed, there are

no matter how thickly you pad it.
It Is still baloney. .
Describing the marked increase In
fatigability of persona recently ar
rived at Cerro de Pasco. 14.200 feet
altitude, Barcroft (Observations on
the Effects of High Altitudes on the
physiological Processes) says that any
prolonged mental effort usually in
volved a degree of fatigue which ne
cessitated a trip to the coast to pre
vent "nervous breakdown."
One of the most prolific medical
authors says, "In the neurasthenic
states, the most constant symptom
is fatigability , . ."
- Unaccountable errors of Judgment
on the part of pilots of high flying
airplanes (moat- transcontinental
fllghta are at 10.000 feet or higher)
was considered a primary cause of
16 out of 27 accidents Investigated
by the department of commerce.
Physicians who have studied the
mater now regard "pilot error" as a
manifestation of oxygen want, the
deficiency of oxygen In the blood
and tissues at altltudea over 8.000
feet. The medical term for this oxy
gen deficiency In the blood la anox
emia and the oxygen deficiency in the
tissues and cells of the body Is called
anoxia.
All of the symptoms of anoxemia
or anoxia or oxygen deficiency or
moderate asphyxia, whether from
rarefaction of the air and lowering
of atmospheric pressure at such al
titudes or from slight carbon mon
oxide gassing at or near sea level,
are identical with the symptoms that
have been ascribed to "neurasthenia"
or "nervous exhaustion."
Now I have a crazy notion I
should say another crar.y notion
that oxygen deficiency may be the
fundamental factor of most of the
"neurasthenia" or" nervous weak
ness" so many people purport to
have when doctors can't find any
organic explanation for their com
plaints or frailties. I do not mean
to Imply that a few whiffs of ex y gen
will restore nervous wrecks to nor
malcy. I think the oxygen deficit
may be due to an oxygen shortage
In the air in some cases, and to
some constitutional Incapacity to
utilize oxygen In metabolism In other
cases an Incapacity comparable with
the constitutional Incapacity of the
diabetic Individual to utilise sugars
and starches In metabolism. Alas,
we have no analogue of Insulin to
recommend for the victim of deficient
oxygen utilization. Nearest approach
I can suggest to ' promote better
utilization of oxygen in metabolism
la exercise, muscular play, muscular
work.

Nothing Is so much a misnomer as
"bell boy." I know three crack mem
bers of the guild In New York hotels
who are edging the 60s. The oldest
bell boy In point of service. Inci
dentally, is J. A. Kelley. who has
been bopping bells at the Brown
Palaos In Denver for 43 years. There
Is or was a few seasons ago one at
the venerable United States hotel at
Saratoga who had been In service 37
years. A wide-awake bell "boy" more
often than not winds up with a more
sizeable fortune than many man
agers of hotels. And the roamers of
the fraternity have seen as much of
the world aa the average globe trot
ter. The top hero of the bell boys
Is Frank Buck, who began as one in
a Chicago hotel.

NEW YORK, July 8. There are
thousands of men in New York who
make an unusually good living, serv
ing aa superintendents of large apart
ment bouse a.
Many are those
who have risen
from Janitors In
less opulent sur
roundings. And
some have been
engineers.
In many in
stances they are
furnished com
fortable apart
ments In fine
buildings. And
thus are at prac
tically no expense for actual living
such as laundry, telephone, clean
ing and many other incidentals that
make living In aristocratic areas
often prohibitive.
Their salaries are not ao high
SI 60 a month Is about top and the
average la $95 month. But that
becomes mostly velvet. Too, in the
more opulent areas superintendents
have been able through special atten
tions to Important tenants to secure
msrket-wlse tips of great value.
Others, too. learning their Jobs In
detail, have often been backed by
building contractors in erecting large
structures In which they acquire a
substantial Interest, Three large Park
avenue apartment houses are owned
by former superintendents.
