TT is a gloomy message that Peyton
C March brituts back to the US'
from Europe after an extended tour
Ile blue we are cordially bated over
there What a European nation
wants most is a "strong man" to
help it beat Uncle Born
We are hated says the generfti
for three principal orations: Debt i
restricted immigra Lion and prohibi-
tion What a comment on our part in
the war on the gratitude of a world
which ao undertook to "save for
democracy"
If Benito Mussolini Primer() De
Rivera and Mustapha Kemal have
come to embody Europe's dearest
hope as General Merch declared
what was tile shooting ell about?
It is possible Of course that (lett-
ered March has miriread the situation
In apite of his ehrewdness that un-
derneath the supPrricial byloptoma
of hate Rild ti$AtrUAt there runs It
kindlier irIIng oward 113 and a
truer understanding Of Our motien
lf not we certainly wasted a lot of
money and life
T WO hs yout were whipped In a
Detroit court yesterday one by
his father and the other by a sister
They had been convicted of stealing
an automobile radiator cap and chose
to be whipped rather then go to jail
for 60 dam
The important point is are Y e re-
turning to corporal punishment
And if it is good fOr a courtroom
then why Isn't it good for a school
room?
Apparently the switch has been
spared for little children only to
beeom a strap for larger Onea Does
this represent good sense or child-
hshnesti running true to form?
Isnt it quite poo-ible that if we
made childree mind bPtter in :heir
early years we would hr7: less
trouble with them later on?
01 Of re7tAtit toll Chins is he
coining coherent To a meas-
urable extent the confusion has re-
solved Itself Into a struggle be-
tween two major factions—one repre-
sented by the Chiese government
and the other by a coalition of War
lords which has been formed around
the tottering Peking government
It is the north against the south
'Russian Influence against that of
"capitalistic" emmtt tee riorodin
In Canton Intriguing for the aoyiets
While several eminent foreigners
are trying to steer the war lords as
more conservative governments would
have them do within the next few
deys there will come a great if not
a decisive battle
The Cantonese are moving heaven
end earth to get pOqtOtlf ton of sluing-
hat while north China Is making
Just as great efforts to prevent them
Huge armies are being moblived
ou the banks of a convenient river
Yach side II hurrying forward nil
the reinforcement it can nuister
The presence of a British fleet and
smile thousande of British tmops
feared more by the Cantonese then
their native opponents It is their
obvious stnitegy to force battle be-
fore more British arrive
We of the western world find it
hard to vistailiz: a great or import-
ant Ira!' in China Our teachings
are at variance with such a con-
ception We have grown to reard the Chi-
nese as a vast inarticulate multi-

It Is en attempt we are told to bring to the field
cf le1sl14t t hat extv't k no wledge vhich one has on

Because a roan's work la both his first interest and
his greatest knowledge the argunielit goes grouping
of the nation into it i trades ra her than within geo-
graphical areas will °minim government on the main
prmciples of interest and knmk ledge
But a plan not neerly so revolutionary yet far more
precticel perhaps huggeNted by the governor in his
decision to call in the experts when subjects cf legis-
lation or of governmental policy are under consideratims
after all as President Glenn Frank or he
University of Winconsto has suggested may be the
Way te end the divorce between the theory and pra-ttce
of politics
It In not safe Dean Nee haA weed to vo on vith
the theory of government in the htindst of scholium aim
hwte knowledge but no power and the pramice or
government In the Mulcts of p0111iCianS SN to have pmier
but no knowledge
And It as President Prank Insists the mt or goy-
eminent consists in briniting knolxledge and power Into
a work big partnership ix e shall have good government
only uhen the knowledge or the action! 13 united with
the power of the atate
Then in fact shall the Elate University and other
Institutions of higher learning become "the rallying
ground and repository for the knowledge needed for the
wise management of the lire of the state"
And obviously if the stete tri reelly concerned about
aehleving "the good lire" for itn citizens tt "dare not
allow the knovcledge of HA university to languish for
lack of power Or permit the porer of Its government
to rim a mu(' k for hick of knowledge"
T HE governor apparently has teken notice or all
this and agrees with President )rent that the gov-
eroor and the eduefttor can go far toward driving the
knowledge of the eehoole and the power of the atate
abreast
lie is reeng1117111g as few governors do the sheer
folly of the state allowing the intellectual resources of
its twin-ails to go to waste polVicelly "while the politics
or it 8100 ety1101 degenendes into a mere logrolling
between privet 0 Interests"
Here is en opportunity to supplant the political
Mind which thinks Only of adjusting facte to policy
with the seientific mind which ItINVIlya Tea3011h from

And here Is tin opportunity to give the state the
benefit of the superior minds that seldom get Into

Mr Kaufman's class he will find that
the students are not only of average
mental capacity but also that their
education is on a parity with that of
American students
Moreover that despite the fact that
they have only resided in this coun-
try for a short time they are capable
of carrying on a conversation in the
English language with relative ease
and flueliey The credit for this ac-
complishment naturally goes to the
very competent and intelligent teach-
ing of Mr Kaufman
Mr Eberle's article further leaves
the Impression that all Mexicans are
illiterate and of a smaller mental
capacity than the people of other na-
tionalities and in Ulla connection it
is not amiss to mention that Mexico
besides producing revolutions has
been the cradle of geniuses in arta
and sciences
Suffice it to mention the names of
a few Mexicans of Indian extraction
like Altamirano whose poetry is re-
puted among the finest Munguia a
great philosopher Estagnol of great
political ability Urrutia a surgeon of
universal fame Sanchez Santos of a
bright journalistic career who was
also considered an authority in law
and Oeneral Porfirio Diaz a ruler
whose talent was responsible for the
flourishment of industry and the sur-
pricing progress attained In the eco-
nomic structure of Mexico during the
30 years of his administration

Mexican history will eerve to correct

Editor Of The News:
Jack Walton In his fourth of July
speech here last year made the state-
ment that if he did not land the of-
fice of United States senator that he
would be a candidate In 1930 for that
of tier
With the large number of candi-
dates that will be in the field under
our present law he will receive the
nomination with a 1Inerity Vote
The only way to keep Jack Walton
out of the nomination will be to
pass the Texas run-off primary law
which provides that where a candi-
date does not receive a majority of
all the votes cast that the two re-
ceiving the highest vote shall be
