Good Government Wins
'T'HE expected happened. Mayor La Quardia wag slated to
win re-election as ohief executive of Greater New Tork.
He not only won, but rolled
million voteg.
This is a great victory for
and a crushing defeat for Tammany Hall. It may make La
Guardia president of the United States, and it may destroy
Tammany as a dominant political power in the state of New
Tork, for all time.
THE first is less likely than the second. For while La
Guardia, is not, as has often been stated, foreign born and
therefore ineligible for the presidency; it is difficult to picture
the Republican party ever accepting him as its standard bearer.
While he is nominally s Republican, he is at heart, and in' his
political philosophy, a Roosevelt new dealer. He was opposed
in yesterday's election by Postmaster General Farley, Governor
Lehman, and other Democratic
many Hall put on the heat, and they couldn't or wouldn't
openly break with the organization that had supported them,
and technically controlled their own party machine in Man
hattan. It was noticeable that none of the Democratic leaders
yanked off any suspender buttons, in going down the line for
Judge Mahoney, while President Roosevelt himself, maintained
a "hands off" policy throughout.
fF course reform movements in New York City, come and
'" go, while Tammany goes on forever. And if political
history should repeat itself, the old tiger will not have to lick
his wounds very long, before the skies clear, the revival of
civic morality passes, and "King Richard is himself again."
But there are reasons to
itself. As long as President Roosevelt controls the Democratic
party, either within or without the White House, Tammany
will have no patronage from
La Guardia still in the saddle,
New Tork. And judging by the results of yesterday's election
up state, with a man of Governor Lehman's type in control,
there will be slim pickings in Albany.
Tammany lives on patroimge, and can't exist without it.
If it can't pay off its organization workers, and subsidize the
electorate, it can't get to first
tion of proportional representation, in Greater New Tork,
.Manhattan where Tammany rules, will no longer hold the
balance of power and control will probably move across the
river, where Tammany opposition is now firmly entrenched.
In fact this ballot reform venture, if retained, may do more
toward putting a quietus upon
Ise.
SO all in all, the final passing of Tammany Hall as a con
trolling force in New Tork politics, state and city, looks
hopeful. The triumphal progress of La Guardia, from New
York's city hall, to the White House via Albany perhaps,
doesn't appear so likely although stranger things have hap
pened in politics, in the past and may again.
Honesty and efficiency win in New York. Tammany re
ceives a terrific, perhaps a fatal blow to the solar plexus.
Thomas Dowey, the most forceful and fearless foe of crime and
corruption in Manhattan history, becomes district attorney.
Regardless of what the ultimate results may be, the people
of Greater New York, can congratulate themselves, upon having
done a swell job for themselves and for the cause of good
government, in yesterday's election.

BEI.LV BREATHING
Certain Individuals, whether they
are regarded or regard themselves as
"neurasthenic" or not. are unable to
hold a deep breath for anything like
the normsl pe
plod (around 40
seconds). In
moat Instances
this Is directly
due to some
tmpslrment
of elrculstlon or
perhsps Impair-
me n t of the
lunga. One who
la unsble to hold
the breath more
than 30 seconds
may not have
any specific
heart or arterial disease, but he or
she unquestionably needs medlcsl at
tention.
No matter what alls the person

no matter what the main causo of

We might go Into the causca and the

all, that la not the layman's con
cern. Medical men may find It en
lightening to read the chapter on
"The Nervous Control of Breathing"
In J. S. Haldane's "Respiration" (Yale
University Press, 1935).
Haldane suggests that common
aympotoms or complaints of "neu
rasthenic" persons or those suffering
from fatigue or shock are "analog
ous to the exaggerated reflex restric
tion In the depth of breathing and
the Inability to hold the breath. All
these symptoms seem to be due to
whst Hughlings Jackson called 're
lease of control'." Haldane then re
fers to the shocks to the nervous
system In connection with various In
cidents of warfare and the part this
played In the causation of "soldier's
heart," "chronic gas poisoning" and
permsnent "shortness of breath," but
It waa equally evident, he adds, that

QUESTIONS AMI ANSWERS
Dampness.
Will sleeping In a room where damp

heated. Send atamped envelope bear

Wheat.
Can one get wheat germ by Itself

Since you are a radical New Deal
er, nothing, of course, would please
you mora than that tha opposition
go to sleep and not wake up till bal
loting time next summer. That Is
the way th dryi lost prohibition.
That U the way to lose any battle.
Hence you advise the Republicans
to take that course. Why don't New
Dealers take a nap? Why are they
so feverishly at work right now weld
ing the chain, that they can't even
wait till the regular January aeasion
of congress? Not a minute is to be
lost If they are to place a controlling
hand on everything before the next
election. If the opposition would
only go to sleep for six months all
would be lovely.
But who are these people who
claim that the European brand of
despotism la already established
here? You are evidently "seeing
things." But these swift, subtle,
multiform, preparatory steps being
taken, these persistent, determined
policies that pave the way and pre
pare the people for absolutism, while
they cripple or hogtle the opposi
tion, such things fully Justiry the
warning cry that Is raised while that
warning may be given wttliout fac
ing a firing squad as a traitor, in
some Soviet "purge."
Another thing: Why Is dictator
ship so commonly linked with fas
cism? Far the darkest menace In
this world today is Sovietlsm, not
communism, which is merely the
Soviet's weapon for destroying all
other governments.
This writer believes that Sovietlsm
is tour times as powerful in this
country right now as fascism and
Nazism combined. Why Is the fas
cist bogle man kept so constantly be
fore our eyes? That la part of the
game. The Soviet can work much
faster If unobserved. They have a
"passion for anonymity."
Well, If the fly with hit "foot In

THEY RE willing to do this, they
say, for two reason:
1. They don't really want to crush
China. They Just want to force her
to "co-operate" with Japan instead
of with Russia.
3. They're afraid that if they get
too deep Into China they may weaken
themselves to the point where they
will be open to a successful attack
by RuAsla.

to go after the president, the New
