THE DIFFERENCES

The Democratic plank declares in its firsl sentence:

"We favor the repeal of the 18lh Amend-ment."

The Republican plank says— "We believe that the people should have

an opportunity lo pass upon a proposed amendment, the provisions of which while retaining in the Federal Government power to preserve the gains already made in deal-ing wilh the evils inherent in the liquor traf-fic. shall allow states to deal with the prob-lem as their citizens may determine, but sub-ject always to the power of the Federal Gov-ernment to protect those slates where pro-hibition may exist and safeguard our citizens everywhere f rom the return of the saloon and attendant abuses."

The Democratic pla t form calls for the di-rect and immediate repeal of the 18th Ameiulinent with no qualifying proposals by way of a substitute. The Republican jilai-form declares: "Wc do not favor a submis-sion limited to the issue of retention or re-peal," and insists that in event of repeal there shall be written into the Constitution as a substitute provisions protecting the dry states and effectually preventing the return of the saloon to any states, wet or dry.

The nearest approach to this safeguard against the saloon on the part of the Demo-crats is their statement: "We urge the enact-ment of such measures by the several slates as will actually promote temperance, ef-fectively prevent the return of the saloon and bring the liquor trafic into the open un-der complete supervision and control by the states."

Pending the repeal of the 18th Amend-ment, in case it may be repealed, the Repub-lican plank declares the law must be enforced as it stands and pledges its nominees to that course.

The Democrtic plank makes no demand for enforcement of the present law but frankly encourages its violation by declar-ing: "Pending repeal, we favor immediate modification of the Volstead Act to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic content as is per-missible under the Constitution."

The Republican plank explicitly declares that "No public ofiidal or member of the parly should be pledged or forced to choose between his party alliliations and his honest convictions upon this question."

The Democratic plank, demanding the re-peal of the amendment, makes the accept-ance of that demand a test of the party loyal-ty of all its members. That is the construc-tion that was put upon it with great em-phasis by such leaders as Al Smith, Governor Ritchie and Senator Walsh in the debate that preceded the adoption of the platform. A Republican may still be a Republican in good standing whatever his views on the question of prohibition, because the plat-f o r m does not make this question a party issue. A Democrat in order to be in good standing in his party must advocate the immediate and unconditional repeal of the 18th Amendment, and must support the proposal to modify the Volstead Act by permit t ing the manufacture , transportation and sale of beer and oilier alcoholic bever-ages.

Such, in substance, arc the differences be-tween the two liquor planks, so-called, in the p la t fo rms of the two great parlies.

TAKE A HOME VACATION

Vacations spent al home may do more good than a rush trip lo some resort.

It is a common occurance fo r holiday seekers to re turn f r o m their annual vacation wear ie r than when they left their homes. T h e rush and turmoil of many crowded va-cat ion schedules will not do a worker as m u c h good as the same amount of time spent loafing and idling a round the home.

Especially is this t rue if the tired business m a n has to take with h im financial worries a n d perplexities about the money to pay the bills.

Somehow, most of us in Lowell have the idea that a vacation cannot be a vacation wi thout a trip away f r o m home. W e have lost sight of the p r imary purpose of these an-nua l holidays, de s imed and intended to give the body and mind a period of rest and re-laxat ion f r o m the s t ra in of the usual life.

CARL E. MAPES

Cong. Carl E. Mai)es, who has now served 20 years as representative f r o m the fifth district of Michigan and is recognized as one of the leading members of the lower house, filed his petitions at Lansing Thursday for renominalion.

In filing his petitions, Cong. Mapes said:

"I am not at this time going to make any formal statement. As everybody in the dis-trict knows 1 have now served 20 years.. My record is known to all. 1 offer myself once more as a candidate. It is the business of the voters of tlie district to say whether they ap-prove my record and wish me to continue to serve.**

In commenting on the above, Frank M. Sparks, editorial writer of the Grand Rapids Herald, says: "That sort of statement is well within the keeping of a man of Carl Mapes' modesty. He never has been one to toot his own horn, but he has served and served well his constituency and the nation at large.

"Mapes has never been given to hysteria nor to being carried away by the hysteria of others. He has never sacrificed principle for prospective votes. Mapes has been a repre-sentative most attentive to the wishes of his consituenls. No man or woman ever wrote a letter to Carl Mapes and failed to receive a reply. No man ever asked Carl Mapes to look af ter some matter for him and failed to receive even* possible attention.

"Ma|H's was first elected to congress in 1912 and in that election hangs a tale. Edwin F. Sweet, Democrat, had defeated Gerrit J . Diekema in 1910 and was the first Democrat lo represent the fifth district in many years.

"With the Republican party split in 1912, it looked like something easy fo r Sweet to be returned. Most folks thought Mapes fool-hardy when he entered the campaign that year. Hut Mapes upset the dope and defeated Sweet at the same time the state was electing Woodbridge N. Ferris, Democrat, as gov-ernor, two or three congessmen and close to half the members of the legislature includ-

i n g several f r o m Kent county. "Since that campaign Mapes has grown in

importance and in favor. Each time he has had opposition he has won by a larger major-ity than before. This year he will have as his opponent in the primaries Ernest T. Conlon of Grand Rapids."

ADVERTISING WORTH MORE THAN DIVIDENDS

Is this the t ime to advertise? Colgate-Palmolive-Peet company seems to

think so, because its directors recently voted to cut the dividend rate of the stock sixty per cent ra ther than curtail its advertising pro-gram.

Are the leaders of this large corporation merely trying to sustain the magazines and newspapers during a period of economic stress? Have they been fooled by misleading propaganda into the belief that advertising helps modern businesses? Wha t can be be-hind such a decision?

Here's the answer, supplied by the com-pany itself. Having long occupied a leading position in the toilet soap, laundry soap and toilet article business by the expenditure of large sums fo r advertising, the management is anxious to hold its products up to the pub-lic, confident that, when business picks up, it will continue lo buy goods of established reputation, with which it is f a m i l i a r s

Therefore, the company contemplates continuing its advertising campaigns on a basis that keeps the reputation of its brands in the minds of the consuming public as the "greatest ultimate service it can render to its stockholders."

Rright-minded men, if any, who do not be-lieve in advertising, might study this state-ment and see what 's the mat ter with it. Re-ferr ing it to the attention of Lowell business men, may we not point out that advertising is not anything magical, giving different re-turns to different sections. What is a good business program for tlie large soap com-pany is a good business idea for the smaller concerns.

THE POINT OF ATTACK

Are the people of the United States re-signed lo the deaths that come to more than 30,000 people even* year by means of the motor car?

If they are, there is little sense in a fur ther discussion of the causes of these fatalities, and certainly, f rom their calm acceptance of such killings in the past, one must come to the conclusion that public indifference is partly responsible for the fatal toll.

The National Safety Council lists three factors as chiefly responsible for the annual sacrifice, inadequate highways, cars in poor repair, and untrained, inexperienced or in-different drivel's. The first condition is be-ing rapidly remedied throughout the nation, as slate af ter slate completes a system of modern travel lanes, with signs giving the motorist helpful information. The second and the third factors may be linked together.

The motorist who is willing to take chanc-es with driving is the same human that takes chances with a car in jwor condition. The fact that many accidents occur on the best highways of the nation is evidence of the responsibility that rests on the individual. The driver who speeds past another vehicle, taking a chance of crashing with an ap-proaching car, doesn't mind a little thing like loose brakes, poor lights, or even no light. He is a chance-taker and life-taker.

Roiled down lo its essence the problem of saving human lives on the road is a question of regulating driving. Driving licenses, which keep a record of all mishaps, however slight in resulting damage, and possess pen-alties to be fearlessly applied to careless driving, seem lo offer the best avenue of success against the inexcusable killing of thousands of men, women and children.

The best driver is not safe on the best highway if he meets a fool, runing wild in a ramshackle automobile. The regulation of drivers is the point of attack in any effective campaign against motor vehicle fatalities.

It is never too wrong to advertise. The Colgate-Palmolive-Peet company dropped its dividend rate f rom 621/2 cents lo 25 cents a share rather than curtail its advertising.

Refore s t a r t ing out on an auto-mobi le vacat ion t r ip , it is well to plan f o r the food in o rde r that the th ree meals each day need not take up too much t ime, accord ing to Miss Mary Lewis of the Michi-

the meals a re p lanned a round the needs of the ch i ld ren , w i l h very few modif icat ions and addi t ions , the adul ts of the table can also be well fed.

IT'S VACATION TIME IN MICHIGAN

Tell those who live in less favored states of Michigan^ sandy beaches, her forest trails, historic spots rich in Indian lore, her peerless summer climate and unequalled facilities for the enjoyment of every sport.

The millions of dollars spent each year by Michigan^ thousands of visitors add to the prosperity of the state. Let us also spend our own vacations in Michigan this year, thereby contributing still further to its prosperity.

And wherever you go, dispel worry by telephon-ing home and office frequently. Call friends to tell them when yon will arrive. Telephone ahead for hotel accommo-dations. Long Distance rates are low.

You Can Save Money Winter Fuel NOW!

by Buying Your

NOW is the t ime to cut your next winter's heating cost—to save money —and to insure for yourself and fam-ily clean, safe, dependable, health-protecting heat.

Fuel is now at the low summer price levels—the lowest in nine years. Cer-tain it is that such prices cannot last indefinitely. The next important move will be upward—not down-ward. It is entirely possible that the rise will occur without much warn-ing.

Why not avoid the costly scramble that attends the advent of cold weath-

er and the advance in prices? One follows the other as surely as night follows day.

This company has no right to exist except that it shall render to its cus-tomers honest value and intelligent service. We honestly recommend that you purchase your winter's fuel now.

In order that you may do so without hardship we have several different plans of handling the delivery and the payments. We will be glad to explain them to you if you will phone

us.

Reasons Why Special summer prices are now in

effect.

The price of coal is the lowest that it has been in nine years.

The tendency will be toward higher prices, not lower.

We can route and handle deliveries more economically now than during the winter rush.

Buying now will provide a week's employment to ten men, put money into circulation, and help to restore normalcy to business—your business us well as ours.

begins, and then they are forced to get special, expensive dental a t-tention, owing to advanced decay.

The story Is told that Grant , a t Shiloh. lost his falsa teeth when an orderly threw away a baain in which the set had been pot for the night. Grant had to wait for weeka

( ' I f while a new set was sent f rom the North a t considerable cost, and during the wait he was greatly handicapped and inconvenienced. The man who neglects his natural teeth is not only throwing away something for which there is no substi tute, but is also imperiling bis general physical welfare. Bad teeth may have an unhealthy ef-fect on the entire body

Just as Grant was Inconveni-enced and delayed, so Is the effi-ciency of modern armies cut down by poor teeth. Approximately 80 per cent of the soldiers In the U. 8. Army In 1925 were t reated for dental disabilities, and there Is no estimating how many should have been t reated for the same thng in the nation's army of private work-ers. but were not.

Teeth are small soldiers of for-tune. Take care of them, and they will guard your general health. Neglect them, and you will have to pay heary indemnities In time, dis-comfort and money

Their health is invaluable to rour physical well-being.

yenrs old, who had spenl all his life aboard a Hudson r iver tugboat ply inn near New York, is tossed into the r iver in a terr i f lc colli-sion which s inks the tug. d rowns his mother and the man he called father. Ignorant , unschooled, and fear dr iven he drags himself ashore, hides in Ihe fr iendly darkness of a huge covered t ruck—only to be kicked out al dawn—and in to Ihe midst of a lough gang of r iver rat boys who beat and chase him. l i e escapes and. exhausted, tumbles into a basement doorway . Later , he hears Ihe t r ap door s lammed, a padlock snapped down—and he

is t rapped. NOW (M) OX WITH T H E STORY

"Hecka! Heckal" "Yes. Pa." "Vill you shud de vawter olT?"

"Papa, il iss off." "Vol you dell me, Heekn? Id

don'd r u n ? I beared id. Do vol I told you; vill y o u ? " Channon l.ipviteh hobbled back through Ihe basement , to the rea r room. He shuffled, his feet at an angle, his bearded face assuming an air of comical severity. It was an

occasion and Channon l.ipvitch. cer ta in of his ground, determined to correct his daughter . Con-versation in the rear living-sleep-room. came to a s top; Ihe loud voices quiet ing while Ihe splash of running wa te r sounded f rom without. "So, you told it lies lo me on Shabbas?" He brist led, hut llecka. more voluble than her

father , instantly replied. • i t ' s in back. Pa. Don't be so

sudden wi th calling me a liar. It s in the back. I hea r it splash-

ing. like you." Hul Channon Lipvitch was

right. Water was splashing, if not in their apar tment , then near by. Ha. he was r igh t ; his ears were not stuffed up. Water taxes were ever in his mind w h e n

faucets flowed. "Vt l l , " he said, "shud id off, vy dor d you? Dell me, who iss making sooch a splasch on S h a b b a s ? " (He w a s a strict man wi th his family—in

the presence of visi tors . The girl, big f o r h e r age, and

plump, wilh an almost p remature development, laughing and gig-gling cl imbed through a r ea r window of the Lipvitch home, Ihe living, sleeping, eat ing-room in back of Ihe Clothing Empor-ium—New and Second Hand. She had to make a high step, a very high step, for they were on the basement floor, and Ihe sills w e r e high. Her skirt was tight and long, in fact, as she s t re tched one leg through the window, the o ther was uncovered far above Ihe knee; a plump shapely leg.

Hecka, s tanding on tiptoes, he r skir ls l if ted unnecessar i ly high, peered across the n a r r o w area between the buildings. Through a broken w i n d o w pane she saw* a boy splashing over a rusty sink, under a lap of runn ing water . He held a piece of hard yellow laun-d ry soap and was w o r k i n g up a la ther ; his hair and face w e r e s t reaming wet . The boy caught a glimpse of her , his eyes w e r e

wide wi th fear—blue eyes. She smiled at him. Then she lurned hurr iedly , her ski r ts up over he r knees—her stockings were new-ami she made the most of the occa-sion. Breathlessly she jumped down into Ihe Lipvitch living-room. "I t ' s a boigler." she de-clared. almosl faint ing. Tre-mendous excitement prevailed in

the Lipvitch home. "Quick, Papa, quick," Mrs. Lip-

vitch and Mrs. Yartin w e r e urg-ing and helping Ihe reluctant U p -vitch at the w indow. Suddenly the wa te r slopped. Lipvitch, in the area , caught a glimpse of a boy's face al the broken window. The little man. he was a head shor te r than his wife, s truggled

to command his voice. iHe did not look formidable in his black silk skull cap. His fea tures worked convulsively.

"Vol iss! Vol iss!" He exclaim-ed excitedly. T h e boy looked harmless , f r ightoned. "Vill you come o u d t ? " Lipvitche screamed. "Or if you don 'd , I—I I—call po-

l ize!" "Papa , i t 's only a boy." Becka

was again c l imbing through the w i n d o w . "Here , boy, come out to us. " She rapped and ra t t led the

II was a nice little business, buying and selling. In the back, branching from a dark, n a r r o w hal lway wi th a splintered pine floor, were the work rooms lit by naked yellow gas jets and c rowd-ed during ten hours of the day with opera tors on pants and vests. Lipvitch took in piece work on the less difllcull par ts of manu-facture, h i r ing his help f rom the tenements of Ihe street.

John had achieved a pr ime requisite for worldly success. He was known four and five blocks away as "Fight ing IJpvi tch ." He became a celebri ty, nothing less, elevated above the boys on the s t reet ; on a par. in fact, wi th young men four and five years his senior in point of age and a decade beyond him in worldly lore. Tlie ( i rogan Gang, out fo r revenge, cruised the Ghetto. John Breen, wi th brass knuckle dus-ters in his pockets, a reckless light in his eyes, fought when there were no more than t w o or

loss was great . Back of the two work rooms came the ki tchen, small and dark , opening lo the liv-ing room in the rear . At one side of this, back of a sink, to save plumbing, was a bathroom. And the hack room, the home of the Lipvitch family, where they en-tertained Iheir fr iends, ale Iheir meals, and slept, s t retched Ihe full seventeen feel f rom par ly wall to party wall . Here father , mother , Becka and the twins, Muriel and Constance, Ihe latter just able to walk, were shel tered.

In the living room there w e r e two beds, covered by colored spreads by day and shoved against the wall far thest f rom the win-dows, to gel a w a y f rom Ihe nighl air . Becka and the twins slept on one of these and MV. and Mrs. Lipvitch occupied the other . Wilh the advent of Johnny Breen a rot f rom a nearby second hand s tore , was placed beneath one of the windows.

Channon Lipvitch, like 1 h e heads of many families p repon-derant on the female side, felt himself overshadowed by the growing impudence of Becka add-ed to the volubili ty of Mrs. Lip-vitch. A s h r e w d general in a trade, he w a s limp in Ihe h a n d s of his wi fe and daughter . To h im t rade was a r t ; it was life, and life depended u p o n Ihe teeming, c rowding mult i tude who s w a r m -ed and squi rmed in the al leys of Ihe town—it was a good place, Ihis city, so full of cus tomers al-ways close at hand.

On the Sa turday a f le rnoon of Johnny ' s introduct ion to the city his reception in the back room of Ihe Clothing Kmporium took on Ihe p ropor t ions of an event. Johnny ' s s tory, given amid greedy mastication of seed rolls and gulps of t ea r s and lukewarm coffee, thri l led the company wi th a sym-pathy g r o w n quick through Ihe age-long persecut ion of the i r race

u sympa thy leading to monu-mental w o r k s of char i ty wi th in Ihe cily. Tears coursed d o w n his cheeks as he repeated, "My moth-er is d rowned , my mother is d r o w n e d ! " The 'oy, oy, o y " of Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yart in punctuated the story. Mrs. Bhim-gren, w i I h large, wonder ing b rown eyes, cried in sympathy , while Becka dried his clothes and sewed on buttons.

"You are s laying by us. now," Becka spoke to Johnny , smiling, her face close to his. Tea r s well-ed in his eyes. He was terr ibly t i red; k indness cut th rough him like a knife .

J o h n n y slept on a cot in the corner . He dr i f ted off into ob-livion, exhaust ion a n d exaltat ion c rowding back the events of the previous day and night.

Days of bewilder ing complex-ity fol lowed on his establ ishment in the family of Channon Lip-vitch, as u cousin f rom the fa rm, for so Elkan Nesser, a malamud, advised. Slowly the r ive r dim-med. J o h n n y Breen learned of synagogues a n d rabbis . H e thought the whole world consist-ed of the r iver and the Ghetto, nothing else. Becka became a dominant force in the direction of his emotions. He burs t out of his clothes, his strong body never t i red. He could lift Becka high up so she might reach the t o p shelves in the shop ; she was o f ten need-ing th ings there, and then, sud-denly, he refused to l if t her , but

Fre-quent domestic arguments sound-ed hack and for th down crowded light shaf ts and weird fancies filled John ' s mind as he f re t ted through the hoi nights amid the close incest of the city slums.

John Breen took on added s ta ture Fighting kept his mind alert

and made him wary , whi le dim thoughts of things beyond the

tenements, of wide avenues and great mansions, crossed his con

sciousness in d reams . John learn ed that mil l ionaires were in Ihe city, powerfu l , kindly, and im mensely rich, looking about fo r wor thy daughters of Israel . He suspected that miles and miles be yond them lay vast ter r i tor ies un explored.

A month in the Clothing Em por ium—New and Second Hand —found John Breen part of rout ine that included every phase of the business, that is, every phase of it hut the receipt of wages. John lay awoke at night reviewing the b i t te r struggle and worked the h a r d e r by day. H e

arose at five-thirty, an hou r be-fore Lipvitch, and in the dark, murky room he slipped on his trousers, and with shirt in hand, went to the l i t tered tub.

In those mornings John work-ed ha rd and fast lo get out on the street and then he idled about un-til the coming of Lipvitch. The street was an endless show, a constantly changing tapest ry wi th human figures hung on f r ames of brick.

As the mornings fol lowed each o ther and his fame expanded, John Breen kept a wary eye for ruffians trudging to and f rom the river. His s tay at the Clothing Emporium became more a n d more perilous. The Grogan Gang was " laying" for him. He avoid-ed the river f ront and kept away f rom the Bowery. Once, on a Saturday night, walking wi th

Becka, arm iu a rm, and deep in the mysteries of r iver lore, f o r John told her everything he could remember , he was suddenly con-f ronted by a crowd of toughs.
