Today Europe's Gray Squirrels. Fight Getting Clearer. Your 28 Billion Cells. Things Have Been Worse. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j A small gray squirrel honestly engaged in accumulating nuts .short circuited an important light ing system at Washington, leaving the capitol and the congressional library in darkness. The shock killed the squirrel. Similar squirrels are operating in Europe—human squirrels with intentions less honest and results more disastrous. Henry Ford’s fight seems to be taking definite shape. There isn’t much doubt that he intends to run for the presidency, with or without ohe of the old parties behind him. All t^e Ford-for-President clubs will meet in Detroit in December, and plans for an independent con vention will be made. The real “Ford-for-Presldent” clubs are the thousands of Ford agencies, one in every corner of the United States, from Florida to Alaska. Each has an able manager to whom the name Henry Ford means wealth and an excellent lifelong job. The question is: Can Ford, by any chance, stampede the demo cratic convention? Political lead ers believe that if Ford had a reg ular nomination it would be impos sible to beat him. If the demo crats believe it earnestly in 1924, and if Ford had somebody that could produce a “Cross of Gold” speech fot him, stampeding the convention might not be difficult. What politicians want, first of all, is to win. If it amuses you to think about politics and discuss them, you can build up many combinations and problems. For instance, with Coolidge and McAdoo nominated, and Ford run ning independent, what would hap - pen? Would Ford take enough farmers from Coolidge to elect Mc Adoo? Would he take enough farmers from Coolidge and enough southern democrats from McAdoo to elect himself? — Suppose Hiram Johnson ran on the republican ticket, McAdoo on the democratic and Ford independ ent, what would happen then? Would the Wall street crowd that now hates McAdoo take him to their bosom saying, “Save us from Ford and Johnson?” Dr. Crile, great surgeon and ".dentist of Cleveland, tells Ameri can surgeons in Chioago, “man is 'imply a mechanism, run by elec tricity and chemical reaction." You, gentle reader, are a ma chine, made up of 28,000,000,000 electric cells, each cell a little wet battery, with negative and positive poles. Your brain cells are the most positive, your liver cells the most negative. As your thinking is dona ift a thin, brown, outside layer of brain material called the cortex, so the energy in your 28,000,000, 000 cells is developed in a thin out side layer. It would take 626,000 such layers to make one inch. Your energy depends on “tha difference in electrical potential between positive and negative.” This difference, which gives us power, dies away when we are fatigued. Sleep restores it. At death it disappears entirely. That’s intensely interesting. Speaking physically and physiolo gically, it is probably true. But how do the 28,000,000,000 cells think? How do they all con centrate on the same problem at the same instant? “Electricity and chemical reactions don’t pro duce thought, build dynamos, unite oceans, decorate the Sistine chapel, or write Beethoven’s music. What is the thing that lives among the 28,000,000,000 cells, ruling them and this earth? What scientist will tell us that? * All European exchange ii weak, franc driven below 6 centa, the proud pound sterling touching the year’s lowest mark. Europe thinks serious trouble is hidden beneath the latest development, the appar ent crumbling of the German em pire, etc. The situation has often been in finitely worse and civilization, such as it is, has survived. The black death, sweeping over Europe, makes our big war with its Spanish influenza seem like a trifling iiyldent. The collapse of the Roman power east and west, followed by the dark ages of superstition, ignorance and torture, was infinite ly more discouraging than any re cent happening. We no longer murder young children in war, ex terminate or drive into slavery the men and women. When Europe gets ready to save itself, stop fighting, robbing, in vading, it can be saved. It’s lucky for this country that fools did not succeed in sending us over there to undertake the whole job, via the league of nations.

Dallas, Tex., Oct. 24.—The fiery cross burned a little deeper, redder glow today, for the klan was cele brating. Knights of the Ku Klux Klan from many states met to play together a while, to attend official duties awhile, and to commigle With the general pub lic within the spacious grounds of the state fair of Texas. Eight special trains from Texas points alone, together with extra cars on regular trains, poured klans men Into the city. Dr. H. VI. Evans, imperial wizard, with headquarters In Atlanta, was the principal speaker. the klan's attitude against negroes, Jews and Catholics was explained by Dr. Evans 1 a speech, the text of which was announoed as outlin ing "fully for the first time the policies of the Ku Klux Klan regard Ins restriction of Immigration and Its program in this respect." Dr. Evans recommended that the United States revise Its policy so as to make its own selection of the class of immigrants wanted and then to In vite them, while excluding all not In : vlted. Dr. Evans said: "True Americanism." "Our cause Is true Americanism. Our destiny is the common welfare, materially and mentally, physically and spiritually, upon a plane high above any mankind has ever known. I recognize fully the political, govern mental, economic and social problems of this generation. But the time has come to look far beyond any or all of them to this greater American problem of our composite people. That Is the bedrock of every national dan ger and hope. “The streams of population that have been and are pouring In upon : us are ages old In racial character • and capacity. We are the melting pot. Into It has been poured, almost promiscuously, perhaps In recent years designedly, every dross lngpp alent of citizenship that the earth produces, the good and the bad. Out of It must come. In the end, our suc cess or failure as a republic. The Immigrant stream Is monthly more and more Inferior, as I shall show hy indisputable facts. Within the year congress will enact a new lmmlgra tion law. "I have undertaken a comprehen sive study of our Immigration prob lem. . , . “The present population la much less than half, perhaps little more than a third, of native Anglo-Saxon stock. We have in this country to day Illiterates to the almost unbellev able number of 4,931.905 and men tally and physically diseased persons totaling more than 5,000,000. It Is undeniable that we have not more than 88,000,000, 100 per cent Amer leans—men. women and children— perhaps 80,000,000 would be the limit. “There Is no hatred In my heart for any Individual, nationality or race Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION 6 Bkll-an* Hot water Sure Relief ANS 234 end 75* Pbcneje* everywhere upon the face of the earth today I love all humanity; for that reason my supreme love Is for America. "The problem of assimilation can not be measured by the 58,000.000 of native whites as against the 47,000, 000 of nlien and colored stock. The south Is almost untouched by Immi gration. It is the east, the north and west that have received the inun dation. For practically overy white American In the east, north and west there Is a corresponding person born abroad, or whose parents, one or both, were born abroad. . . . "There are certain vital require ments to be met for our citizenship. These are: "(1) Education. "12) Health "(3) Home building. Three Powerful Elements. “We already have at least three powerful and numerous elements that do now. and forever will, defy every fundamental requirement of asslmila tlon. “First there is the negro—10,500, 000. They have not, they cannot, at tain the Anglo-Saxon level. Both biology and anthropology prove It. and the experience of cehturies con firms that conclusion. The low mentality of savage ancestors is in herent In the blood stream of the colored race In America. No new environment can more than super ficially overcome this age-old heredl tary handicap. With the ever increasing exodus from country to city it is an undoubted fact that an other generation will be marked by retrogression. "Another absolutely unblendable element is the Jew. To him patri otism. as the Anglo Saxon feels it, is impossible. Already a fifth of the Jewish race is In this country. I would prefer to believe that all this unceasing persecution hns been un merited. but whether or not the Jew himself is largely to blame, Its idelible Impress Is thers. They are people apart' from all other people*. They always will be. Were the melting pot to burn hundreds of years, Jew and Gentile would each emerge as he Is today, only the Gentile would have been affected by many other elements and the Jew would not. As a race tjie Jewish are lawabiding. They are physically wholesome stock. They are mentally alert. They are a family people, reverently and «u genlcally responsive to God's laws In the home. But ther homes are not American but Jewish homes, into which we cannot go and from which they will never emerge for a real in termingling with America. C'annut Long Endure. "N# nation can long endure that permits a higher temporal allegiance than to Its own government. The hierarchies of Roman and Greek Catholicism violate that principle.
