DRY QUESTION’ IMPORTANT IN NEXT ELECTION (By Dispatch A. I’. Wire) NEW YORK, June s.—The liquor question cannot be avoided in. the coming elections and evasion of this Issue would spell station and national defeat for the republican party, in the opinion of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia uni versity, and prominent republican. In a statement left for publica- tion after his departure for Europe, Dr. Butler asserted that the party j which will win the next state and j national elections is the one that can offer a solution tor the prohibi- j tion problem. “There is no use of running can- j ’didates for state office in New York j this year if the republican party puts a dry plank in its platform,” j he said. If we have any idea of taking the J issue away from governor Smith we i must present a solution. The pro- j hibitionist is the only real friend j of liquor traffic. I am personally the driest of the whole lot, but i j cannot and will not tolerate a candi- j date such as prohibition has imposed.” j Dr. Butler referred to the Anti- Saloon league as a “money collecting agency to pay a few good salaries,” and said “the smarest thing its bosses ever did was to black-jack the re publicans and democrats.” Dr. Butler said he favored repeal of the Volstead act, repeal of the 18th amendment and adoption of the Quebec system, for New York.

Wire) WASHINTON, June s.—Forces sup porting agricultural relief measures took a new lease on life today when it was announced that Vice President Dawes had taken economic direction of farm legislation. The announcement was made by Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, after he had attended a conference of farm leaders in and out of con gress and at which the vice president was present. The purpose was to agree upon a farm relief measure which it was believed the president would sign. Those attending the conference en dorsed the McNary equalization fee measure now pending before the sen ate with several modifications. They favored reducing the revolving fund from $250,000,000 to $175,000,000 of which $75,000,000 would be used for the disposal of surplus cotton. Another amendment agreed upon would authorize the immediate opera tion of the equalization fee provision on all of the five basic farm commodi ties: wheat, cattle, swine, cotton and corn. But the actual operation of the fee would be left in the hands of the producers of any of the commodttie, who would determine by a referen dum when they wished It to become effective. The bill in its original form pro vides that the fee would not operate against cotton and corn until three vears after its passage and only after congress had specifically authorized it.

Douglas has one of the best baseball teams ever brought together by a city of this size. It has men of national repute, all of them draw ing cards for the fans, wherever they appear. The city maintains the ball club and its citizens want to see a winning team, if possible, but above all, they want a harmonious aggregation representing Douglas. The fans have flamed the directors of the club and those men also want, to see harmony in every endeavor of the. city, of the directors, of the fans, and of the players. For, harmonious, friendly contact will mean concerted effort, and concerted effort will mean success. Winning ball games is patrly a psychological matter. If the fans in the stands are rooting “their heads off” for the home team, if the players 'know that every other layer is doing his best and that he wants to assist the team in every manner possible, then those players will react. They will run more rapidly, they will strive more earnestly, they will more eagerly attempt to cut off every play of the opposing team. ItVill not matter whether the sun be beating down on them with rays than seem hotter than usual, or that the other teams seems to be getting “the breaks.” The team will play to win. It is like that during all of life. Whatever we do, we like to feel that we have the solid support of our co-workers and of the entire citi zenry. Harmony. Not necessarily the famous "barber shop harmony” but the harmony not only of voice, but of spirit and of effort. While there has been some discord among fans, directors, players, now is the time to eliminate it all. It would be a splendid thing for the team, for the directors and for the city. For the Blues are as much a part ot Douglas as are her school athletics, her church athletics, her copper smelter athletics. They represent this city when they are abroad. Dis satisfaction will but lead to discord. That will be disastrous to the club and to Douglas. The Blues are now in their winning stride. The game that they put up at the Tenth street park on Friday shows their mettle. They can win games. They can play ball of the finest type. While Douglas may have lost the first place in the Copper league for the first half of the season, that portion of the season will close on June 27. Starting with the three game series here on July 3, 4 and 5, the contest for the second h: Qf the season will be on. Douglas wants to win that pen nant. Then they can contest with the winners of the first half, and the entire city wants to see them carry away the final honors. Bisbee had a slump after a bad start with her team. Yet the Bees are in the game now “stronger than horseradish” and they are playing magnificent baseball. The city and players have “come out of it.” So it should be with the Douglas Blues. The power of the Douglas Blues and the Bisbee Bees as drawing cards here on July 4 will no doubt add great numbers to the crowd coming. We have a winning team. Let’s all forget animosities and make a truly harmonious effort. Legal Squabble Over Bancos. El Paso faces some hard-fought legal battles, following the action of Mexico in agreeing to the elimination of 16 bancos between El Paso and Ft. Quitman. El P'aso papers are predicting the greatest legal battle in border history for possession of the land, quoting R. E. Fish burn, American boundary commission consulting engineer to that ef fect. A banco is land lying between the old river bed location and the present stream. Mexico agreed to a proposal made by Judge E. B. McClintock of El Paso, the two points accepted by Mexico being that the 16 bancos in the valley be eliminated in accordance with the treaty and that the artificial cuts and straightening of the river be agreed to by Mexico. Three points left for future consideration are that Mexico cede to the United States whatever claim it may have to Chamizal and the Island of Cordova. That the United States in exchange for Cham izal and Cordova Island cede to Mexico the same amount of acreage contained in the Island of Cordova; this,acreage to be located some where along the course of the Rio Grande and that a commissioner be appointed to determine the difference in value between what Mexico is ceding to the United States and what the United States cedes to Mexico. As the difference in dollars and cents would be in favor of Mexico the government would agree to spend the difference in dollars and cents mi building protection again floods on both banks of the river in the valley. The entire agreement paved the way for flood control for El Paso. According to El Paso officials, heirs of Max Weber will bring suit against the city of El Paso for possession of 75 acres of land south of Washington park on which the city has constructed $200,000 worth of sewage disposal plants, the land being valued at more than $150,000 Mexicans, to the number of 31, holding title to 430 acres in Collings-' worth addition and Alameda Acres, valued at more than $1,000,000 will bring suit for possession against the present inhabitants who hold American title to the land. These inhabitants number 325 men, women and children. Under the terms of the agreement, the Weber banco and the San Lorenzo banco are confined to United States sovereignty. Both of these bancos lie to the south of Washington park, the Weber banco within the city limits. The land known as the Weber and San Lorenzo bancos formerly belonged to Mexico. Mexico claims the river changed its course suddenly. Undfep terms of a river treaty signed in 3 905, each country retains title to such land as is cut off from it by sudden changes of the river, called avulsion. If the river change is gradual, by erosion, the country to which the land is added gets pos session. It is claim -d that the late Max Weber, who was at one time Ger- 1 man consul in Juarez, owned 158 acres of land south of Washington i park which then on the soutji side of the river. The original own- DOUGLAS DAILY DISPATCH, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1926. mM ers claim they have witnesses by whom they can prove that the river changed its course suddenly. This land was sold to the city of El Paso and individuals under Texas title, although those who held it under Mexican title protested strenuously. Elimination of bancos does not affect original private ownership, merely giving to one nation or the other undisputed jurisdicton over the land. The merry legal war will start now that those holding Mexican claims can go before U. S. courts with their claims. WITH EDITORS ENOUGH PEOPLE AND AMPLE ROOM. (Arizona Republican). Much has been written in several centuries for and against race suicide, but the most sensible is George A. Dorsey’s second “Don’t” in his decalogue for parents: “Don’t be a parent merely .from a sense of duty to the human race—there will always be plenty of people in the world.” Indeed, there is a predominant fear that sometime there will be too many. But nature will probably make a proper adjustment. Growth of population is not, however, equally distributed. France, for instance, with its slow-growing population, is fearful of Germany *»i'.h its always raid increase. France sees the economic disadvantage of its discrepancy and foresees its more dreaded disadvantage in a future war. But taking the world over, as Mr. Dorsey observes, there will always, with or without special propaganda on the subject, be enough people in the world, and, we suppose, there will always be enough room. Since there is nothing more to worry about on this score, let us proceed to the next order of .business. THE MYTH OF THE GIANTS. (New York Herald Tribune). For the third time within a year dispatches from northeastern Mexico record the finding of ancient bones supposed to belong to a vanished race of giants, men and women who must have stood nine or ten feet tall. A half-century ago similar reports were frequent in the eastern states, although our own discoverers were less modest than the Mexi cans. Some of the giants reported from New York and New Jersey were 20 or 30 feet tall instead of a more plausible ten. All over the world these tales of giants exist. Nearly always they can be traced to some find of prehistoric bones. And always, when some competent scientist has made the journey to see these remarkable bones, the bones may have remained, but the giants have vanished into nothingness. The case of the supposed giants of New York state was simple. The bones found were those of the prehistoric animals who once roamed up and down the Hudson valley. Many of them were the bones of the mastodon, a variety of elephant which was once common in North America but became extinct before the arrival of the white men. Many animal bones are so similar to the bones of the human skeleton that they are likely to deceive any one except an expert, provided, of course, '.hat only a single bone is available for examinaton, not a complet3 skeleton. The explanation of the Mexican stories seems to be a different one. The bones found are undeniably human. Skulls have been found with the other bones, and the human skull is unmistakable. Nevertheless, (he able scientists of the Mexican department of anthropology, who examined previous finds of this kind in the region from which the new stories come, have found no evidence at all for believing in a former race of ten-foot humans. The error seems to be in estimating the height of a living person from the bones left after he dies. These bones are laid out on the ground in what are believed to be the proper positions. The spine is joined to the large bones of the hip and the leg bones are placed next to the joints which formerly connected them with these same bones. This is a natural procedure, but it is wrong. It will give a measure of height which is far too great. In life the bones of the hip form a horizontal girdle. The leg bones join this well above its lower surface, and the spine projects down into it from the top. Thus the spine and the leg hones overlap considerably, the hip-girdle holding them in their proper positions. In reconstructing (he bodily form of a vanished race from their skeletons this overlap must be taken into account, as is done by the expert anthropologists. The inexpert are less likely to think of this or to be able to compute it accurately. Hence the idea that the bones which are found and then laid out lengthwise, without allowance for the overlap, indicate a race Let s Go! i More Truth Than Poetry j By JAMES J. MONTAGUE j

THE BABE j When first the Babe began to clout As no one else could do,, i The cynic knockers raised the shout: “That bird will soon be through. We’ve seen ’em come, we’ve seen ’em go, These lads so big and strong, Who knock the pellet for a row But they don’t last so long.” But ’round and ’round have sped the years,, And still, alert and tense, The burly Babe has knocked the spheres Across the back field fence. While still the crabs, When with a crack He -walloped out a fly, Said “Yeh! he’s getting kind of slack, He’ll fade by and by.” Last Spring, when overfed on steak And new potatoes, fried— It seemed that fate would overtake The Nation’s joy and pride. Once more the critics joined the yell. That rent the bending blue. "Well! Well! Well! WELL! Well! Well! Well! WELL! The poor old Babe is through!” But now he steps up to the plate, As in the days of yore, And knocks ’em wide, and knocks ’em straight, And doubles up the score. And confidently we opine That twenty-five years hence His clouts will still mark out a line Across the back field fence!

Sitting up until daylight isn’t healthy at all because it takes you all night to do it. I Almost every* man is a woman-hater until he reaches the age of 16 or 17.1 of extreme stature stretchable, by a little optimism, to as much as nine feet or even more. This was the explanation of the Mexican finds last year and is doubtless that of the new ones. Remains of prehistoric man have now been found on every continent. Some of these remains are supposed to be nearly a million years old. Many of them are quite bestial in aspect, much more so than is true of any living race. Among all these finds of ancient humanity there is no indication that men were ever any larger, on the average, than they are today. Indeed, the average stature of modern man is greater than that of any of his predecessors. The verdict of anthropology is clear. There were no giants in those days, or ever.

Wire) DES MOINES, lowa, June 5. —Spy- ing in a cartoon two rows of shining teeth and a square jaw, the Ameri can newspaper reader learned to recognize Theodore Roosevelt. Harding was identified by his heavy almost shaggy eyebrow's. Coolidge’s symbol is the long New England nose and the austere mouth, turned down at the corners. All of these characteristics have been imprinted so firmly in the Amer ican mind by cartoonists that the public now recognizes its public fig ures as quickly from cartoons as from actual photographs, says J. N. “Ding” Darling, veteran cartoonist. “All public men who are carica tured a great deal,” believes Darling, “are better known by their con ventional caricature than by their own birthright of facial characteristics. In the evolution of a caricature the cartoonist begins with a fairly ac curate portrait, but finally he elimi nates all except the predominating characteristics and the result is a sort of conventional formula with little of the portrait remaining. By the same process the letters of T. Sixteen Years Ago V Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Henry celebrated their first wedding an niversary Friday evening with an “at home” at the Gadsden hotel. Mr. and Mrs. O.

Little Elspeth and a friend were playing about the house and having seen the fire apparatus go down the street, thought it would be a lot of lun to pla>( fire. So they shouted “Fire! Fire!” until Elspeth’s mother came rushing in from the back yard crying Where?” Upon learning that ib was all a joke, she sent Elspeth to her room, with the admonition never to play that game again, and went to her room to take a nap. The quiet was soon broken by a monotonous thump, thump, thump on the stairs and there was Elspeth, at. tired in her best hat, coat and gloves, dragging het! doll’s trunk down to the front door. "I is going, to find a lady that wants a little girl,” she said determinedly, but finally was persuaded that no one wants a little girl half as much as her own mother; “Now zat you are my own good muvver an’ the big fight is over, s’pose we go an’ unpack." Banning the Bnnd. The pawnshop kept Mr. Isaacs and his wife and family in a state border ing on the luxurious. One day the members of the house hold were in a pleasurable state of ex citement owing to the fact that the elderly couple were about to hold great celebrations in honor of thetr silver wedding. It was now 10:30. The band en gaged for the occasion was expected at 11, and the house was already crowded with the pawnbroker's friends'. But when the clock pointed to five minutes to 11 the band was still ab sent*. The family began to grow nervous. Ah, at last! A man in uniform stood at the door waiting to speak to Mr. Isaacs, who hurried out to see him. “Now, then come on with your band!” he expostulated. "You ought to be playing now. Where are the rest?” "Waitin’ around the 'corner. It's like this: I’m the bass-drum player, and they can’t do without me and ‘Well, what about it. You’re here, too!” “Yes —but my drum is put away in your shop! So what about it your self?” —Exchange. R. stood for years as a complete no menclature of Theodore Roosevelt.” Wilson was never correctly car tooned, Darling declares. He was a man tremendously liked or violently disliked. Cartoonists friendly to him pictured him as force ful and almost benign, while his foes caricatured him with a hawk-like and forbidding mien. The result was that his cartoons were wholly unlike hi 3 photographs.” Congress frequently is pictured as an individual with a fringe of whis kers under his chin, close cropped. This caricature is attributable, Dar ling suggests, to the fact that Jos eph G. Cannon, longtime speaker of the house, wore the stubby hirsute adornment. The formula was arriv ed at easily because when people thought of congress they thought of Cannon. A comparative newcomer to the gallery of cartooned characters is the reformer or the prohibition advo cate. Darling, always a strong friend of prohibition, recalls that when tho subject first injected itsfelf into pub lic life, he used a ministerial fig ure of benign countenance to epito mize the prohibition cause. "So far as I can remember,” he says, “the figure originated from tho desire to represent a very good man— and one associates extreme goodness with sanctimony, ministers and early Puritans. I think the first time I ever drew a figure of prohibition I had distinctly in mind the Pilgrim father with modifications to bring him up to date.” Leprosy, Treated Early, Curable, Says Physician (By Dispatch A.

Arizona Auto Club Will Advertise Entire State I f PHOENIX, June 5. —New Mexico has' a state publicity board, the least j state legislature having appropriated j funds to organize and maintain the i work of advertising the agricultural, j climatic, livestock, mineral, timber and recreation opportunities of the[ commonwealth. Each of the 31 counties pf New Mexico has a sub-organization that, works in conjunction with the state bureau.

Such a campaign handled by a state wide organization like -the industrial, congress of Arizona, would leave the. j local civic organizations free to de- j vote their activities to purely local i affairs and secure better results for, the whole state at less expense than I by the present haphazard method of every community striving to out) do other sections of the state.

They contain oysters, lobsters, qratos, turtles, sea lions, three kinds of sardines, Spanish and American mackeral, albacore, bo nito, yellow tail, ea bass, halibut, sil- j ver sea. trout, flounder, and (many j other varieties.

C Junked Motor Cars Stop “Washing” of River Bank (By Dispatch A. P. Wire) PIERRE, S. D., June s.—Junked motor cars are being put to a new use here —that of helping to "tame” the Missouri river. The “Big Muddy” has a coy habit of tearing away large chunks of South Dakota farmland abutting the stream, during the spring rises, and carrying them downstream sometimes in 20-acre chunks. The piling of logs, brush and debris along the bank has not availed to stop the channel’s depredations. But it has been discovered that the frames of junked cars, piled one upon another wherever the channel is cut ting away the bank, settle so firmly and are so impervious to the chan nel stream that they stop the cut ting away of the bank. Several j score of abandoned automobiles are serving more effectively than ex pensive piling. Leper Curing Flora In Brazil More Effective (By Dispatch A. P.
