FIFTY-FIRST TEAR No, 33, CEDARVIIXM >AY, JULY 27,1928 * ■ 1 ' i ■ a m DIFERENCE BETWEENTWO PARTYPLATFW Vico president Charles Dawes is one o f the. few impporter# o f the Farm Relief movement that has announced -•open support of Nominee Hoover, and urges all Republicans to do likewise. But the decision of Mr. Dawes does not carry support for other leaders of the farm movement that are ,at this time non-committal. For instance .Ex- Governor Lowden, of Illinois, states that he is more Interested in tern relief than in the selecting o f a president in the political party that l.as once given him the governorship. Gov, McMullen, o f Nebraska, is an­ other that is lending support to the Democratic nominee by. his silence. Earl C. Smith of the Illinois Agricul­ tural Association says the Democratic platform is the heat while Sam Thompson, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, announces that “the federation will continue to advocate the principles indorsed by the democratic platform,” Should this situation continue' to grow, which we think it will not, the ehances of electing Gov. Smith would continue to grow brighter and that of Mr, Hoover less than they are at present, A break in the farm element in the mid-tvest on, the relief problem Would be welcomed by the Democrats, ■irrespective by other issues that might have an unwelcome place on the list of topics for discussion. In’ the west­ ern states, particularly in Illinois, Ohio farmers' are being counted’ upon to stay a\yay from the polls election day, or a very large per cent cast votes against the Republican nominee. There is some real ground for a ’feeling out here that Hoover cannot be welcomed ip .Ohio, The teyil effects of the dirty primary campaign against Hoover in Ohio has 'Spread into other s .ates. The Daugherty element iti the state political ring spread' much pulse information against.Hoover that -will require great ' effort *to erase. Carmi Thompson, . loader of the Dangherty-Willis, forces, is the only tanti-Hoover follower to announce for inee. Even Gong, fee would be an illegal and nncon- ■ atftutkmal tax to h* levied by a board! of 1? men with unlimited msd| tyrnnical power*. Ho warned ih»| farmers to beware pf false leaders. ! “The editors will motor to Corydon] and Wyandotte Cave tomorrow to ’ finish their outing.” The Chicago Post In reviewing the action of the Republican state convene tion at Des Moines, Iowa, in indorsing Hoover, has the following ip. says “The Republican party has beep honest with the farmer.’ It has told him what it will npt do? but its re­ fusal* he knows—-for he has bad the proof—is not based on any lack pf sympathy for the farmer, or on in­ difference to his problems and his needs, Qn the. contrary, it is based on a reasoning consideration which looks beyond the immediate moment, calculates the possibilities o f the future, and seeks a remedy which will carry with it no seeds of regret for. agriculture or the country as a whole,. - The political foes of Kerbert Hoo.ver have attempted by every sort, of mis­ representation tp damage him in the eyes of the farmer. But any fair and open m»nd, comparing the records of Hoover and $mith,, cannot be long in doubt as to, Which man is the more likely to he the intelligent, construc­ tive friend o f agriculture, - Smith was city born and city bred. He may know NewYork, but this great region of .interior Americans for him an un­ discovered land. But Hoover is a son of the middle west, born on an’ Iowa farm; and Hoover, moie than any man living today, is in a position to under-' stand and appreciate the tremendous importance of agriculture.” Chicago may be strong for Smith but from the editorials, appearing in the city papers, Hooverwill have sup­ port that will offset to some extent the wet sentiment that at present has first place irrespective of party line­ up. The Tribune, normally wet is for Hpover as a patty candidate., The News, independent, is for Hoover, and against any more to interfere with the eighteenth'amendment. Another Chicago newspaper thinks’ fotmMeaders cannot be easily mislead at this, stage in. the campaign and casts a reflection on Republican papers thdt tan see no difference in the two party platforms* The Journal says: “Republican organs, which are just aabewildered as republican politicians qbput what can be dope to restore the of-^grlcuRiual states ip the tofQrftrrd Old Party, resort to the the Republican Uom Charles Brand foeps silent* or has ■tq this date; wRidh is comforting ■rhnd made a personal attack on - - * * Hoover during the primary, that the nominee was un-American, a Demo­ crat, opposed tlie farmers, and was brought out or hacked by. the. best interests. ' Indiana wps opposed to Hoovers nomination, but if reports are correct he will carry the st'at . In declaring for HoOVer* Henry M. Marshall, pub­ lisher, of the Lafayette, Ind., Courier, and Journal, a cousin of Charles F. Marshal, Cedarville, has the following tp say about the' Republicans and farm relief; “In declaring’ for sound and con­ sistent solution of the farm problem and in refusing to play politics with the equalization fee feature of the McNary-Hnugen bill, the Republican patty lived up to its best traditions and displayed the same high quality of statesmanlike leadership that put the Republican party on the right side- of the money question in a for­ mer national crisis.” “ The speaker said that, after hear­ ing the discussions before the Plat­ form Committee at. Kansas City he came to realize that the equalization platform as being vague on that sub­ ject and conclude that Gov. Smith Is no more pledged to give the farmers What they .Want than Mr. Hoover. Happily, the leaders of the agricul­ tural movement are not misled by this argument. These leaders, just as wise as any of the men running the presi­ dential c mipaigna, are able to distin­ guish .’the outstanding difference be-> tWeen the republican program and the democratic program.” —THE EDITOR MONEY SAVING ON THE FARM . ..... . s*w r- 1• - -j; - ^ Nofi only is a tractor superior ,to teams for plowing, in speed,’ power and efficiency, but its per acre cost of operation is cheaper as well, A num­ ber ofjfarmera in the state of Wash­ ington kept records in order to make this comparison and found that where team plowing cost $1.97 per acre, the tractor did the work for 86 cents. From this direction greater farm -prosperity must come. Modern labor paving machinery and instruments of greater. efficiency are the money makers for agriculture.

WtmwlJ ORUIfi) RfTCHIE WRITESLETTERON EUROPEANTRIP 87 Bruntsfleld Place, Edinburgh, July 10, !92g Dear friend Karlh: Perhaps you can use in the Herald some “filler” aboutmy adventures and wanderings for the sake of “auld lang syne.” On September 29th lost (I just look­ ed it up inmy diary), I said “goodbye, honey" to the Goddess of Liberty, as the American Shipper got under way for the Atlantic, crossing., There were three other young preachers with me, one of whom rolled out of his*bunk that stormy night .when no one could sleep. • ‘ We had time only for Westminster Abbey and Lady Margaret Chapel be­ fore rushing on to Edinburgh where .he .university opened immediately. There we attended lectures and teas galore all winter. It was a welcome change from theology to get away on auf long-anticipated trip to Palestine. The morning of March 5th saw us on Board the “Royal Scot” bound for London. Following a night there, »ame a quiet passage oyer the Channel 'from Dover to Ostend. B$r nightfall .ve were in Bruges, the city with the famous belfry celebrated in -Longfel­ low’s poem. Upon reaching Brussels* at an early aour the next day* we made the ac­ quaintance in a coffee shop of *an obliging student who •volunteered to how us the battlefield of Waterloo. After viewing ,the eyclorama _ and limbing Lion- Hill, it was time for nipch. The rest of the boys (I was quite innocent) were so- anxious to cry their Frence on the pretty waitress hat- we missed our car back' to the city. It was nearly .midnight wheri we ifrivea-in Paris, What a beautiful and .ascinating city it is! Our five days -.here were all too short, I shall not describe our experiences getting ailor-made suits finished-in, double* quick time, going to the opeta, climb­ ing tfe Eiffel tower, strolling through the Louvte* etc. The Peace Palace at Versailles was wonderful in its faded splendor, and t shall never forget the After a pleasant journey through Ihe vineyard section of south France* we arrived at Marseilles! There waf little chance for sight-seeing, as the “Pierre Loti” sailed the next day at 1P.M . Ori the voyage I met a young British Air "Force Officer, a unique character who had gone two day’s- and nights without water in the desert, returning to his headquarters at Am­ man, I also finished reading Dr. Fosdick’s absorbing book, “A Pil­ grimage to Palestine.” The suh-rise was gorgeous a3 our ship slowly steamed into the harbor at Alexandria, Sabbath morning, March J8th. There was some delay in disem-. barking, \>vA at any 'rate we were in Egypt, land of the pyramids and the 'Nile. Our 'short three days were crowded to the limit. In the after­ noon we visited a number of our United Presbyterian mission institu­ tions in Cairo, and later enjoyed the European service conducted by Dr. W. R. Sawhill, of Seattle, Washington, the temporary pastor. I had a fine visit with my sister, Grace Alexander, arid her family at Aasuit. I was gratified with otir mis sion work there, especially Assuit College, “the pride of Egypt.” Herald readers will be particularly interested in the fine record of Earl Collins, a Cedarville boy, who has been asked to return for an additional year of teach­ ing. He was very modest about it all, but his enthusiasm and ability are recognized and valued*by the college officials, Earl is the coach of the basket ball team. Last winter Assuit placed five of the strorigest teams in Egypt and never lost a game. They justly claim­ ed the national, championship, for these teams -included the Egyptian University, the American University, and the Cairo Y. M. C. A. Describing the last game riith the Y. M. C. A., Earl said the “Y” hod three old uni­ versity men and two old Assuit play* ers. Yet Assuit humbled thefn to the tune of 33 to 6, We had a great talk-fest until the hour grew late. Last New Year’s night, Earl ahd a companion did a daring thing. They got past the guards in some miroculoua fashion, and saw the New Year in from the top of the Cheop’a pyramid, It was pretty cold up there all nig>t without blankets, but their stunt 1* something to brag about the rest of tlieir lives, Earl also told me about hunting lions in the Sudan. I wondered how many young men in America, who rather pity the tame life of the missionary* had ever experienced thrills to com­ pare With these. Hastening back to Caird, I “did” ihe pyramids and the great Egyptian Museum containing King Tutan- kahmen’s paraphernalia, before taking the Jerusalem train. There ws* something ridiculous about the brevity of otir hurry-up trip, but at least t covered enough of the country to see a good deal of local color. My week in Jerusalem I count one o f the greatest of my life. This an­ cient “Holy City” of three faiths is literally crammed with buildings, ob­ jects and scenes of intense historical and religious interest. We visited the Church of the Ecce Homo, the Tower o f ‘ Antonia^ the Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR CORNBORERQUAR- mm EFFECT MADISON, CUM A patrol line around the quaran­ tined area for the European Com Garden of Gethsemane, and the Rock jBorer in Madison County has been of Ascension the first day, watching the glorious oriental sunset from the sacred Mount of Clives. fif all the sights in Jerusalem, none is more pathetic than that o f the Jews at their Wailing Wall, What depart­ ed glories their imaginations, must picture! , A -most unique expariance was our, day*of donkey-riding out from the city.

The human mind is always inter­ ested in. the origin of thing#—where did it come from and What will be Ihe Ultimate state of its existence, are questions whose answers are al­ ways interesting to us. The origin of our earth has al­ ways been a topic for thought and many are the theories that have, been1suggested to solve this ancient mystery.. The Nebular Hypothesis, the Meteoric theory, the Planetesinial Hypothesis^ and the theories of Lowell, Jeans, Lockyer and many others have been propos­ ed to account for the origin of our earth. According to the Nebular Hypo­ thesis our solar system had its ori­ gin in a vast hot gaseous nebula that extended as far as the orbit of Nep­ tune. In the course of fime.it con­ densed and contracted. Rings were separated from the original mass which formed into individual plan­ ets, which in turn detached smaller rings making the satellites. Our sun is the original nucleus of the primeval nebula. Under this hypo­ thesis the earth passed through a gaseoUs', then ri liquid state* and finally after cooling* reached a*sol­ idifying state With the formation of a crust and a molten interior. It has become quite stable through long cooling. The origin of the earth apd our solar system can most satisfactorily be explained by the Chamberlin- Moulfon “Planetesimal Hypothesis.” But stellar evolution can- best be accounted for by the two-branch tlu iry of Dr. Russell of Princeton. Tie Old “Nebular Hypothesis” of K( nfc and Laplace' has given way to the theories worked out by Doctors Chamberlin and Moulton of the Uni­ versity of Chicago* which was an­ nounced in 1899. The Planetesimal, Hypothesis as­ serts that the matter of which the planets are formed Was tom from our sun by attraction of ft passing star. According to this theory the planets are truly children of the sun. This matter, in the form of compar­ atively small solid bodies called “planetesimals,” gathered in “knots” which finally developed into planets.
