POLITICAL WEASELS RANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, once a champion of the League of Nations, now does a backward flip and comes out opposing American entry. It is not the League Conceived by Woodrow Wilson," he explains.

Which is so much bosh, and ie a sad example of how becoming a candidate for office can corrupt a man m- "'The League is unpopular in America," observes the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette. It adds: "Before the presidential bug began gnawing into Franklin Roosevelt bonnet he advocated America's entry into the League with sincerity and eloquence. Now he stages a weasel on the topic as monumental as the one pulled by Jim Reed, lifelong and sincere foe of prohibition, when he tried to wiggle over to the dry side in a vain attempt to wrest the Democratic nomination from Smith at the Houston convention. "The trouble with this strategy is that people somehow sense it. Sudden alterations of lifelong convictions get the statesman nowhere.

It would probably be smarter politics, and certainly more dignified, if these gentlemen elected to stick by their convictions and display a willingness to go down with them or flatly say they were wrong, if necessary, rather to show a willingness to sell their consciences for jobs." COWARDLY SURRENDER OSSES on automobile liability insurance policies, it is said, are responsible for increases ranging to HO per cent in liability rates. Many losses, it is further explained, result from payment of many claims for injuripp which are utterly without foundation in fact. The choice the insurance company must make, apparently, is be tween carrying the case to court and winning out a' excessive cost, or effecting settlement for a less amount That insurance companies will pay out unjustified claim is regrettable. The insurance companies are not themselves gui less of evil practice in the settlement of claims. theless, they would be wiser to go to the mat with tl ambulance chasers if they would not at last land in th clutches of that evil gentry.

To pass the burden on the policyholders, as they arc doing, is unfair both the policyholders and themselves. The motoring public, will not stand for such practices indefinitely. I he existence of conditions which make it easy in secun settlement for false claims is one of the many legal abuses which are festering the nation. The ambulance chasers are a disgrace to the profession. As President Thompson of the American Bar Association said recently, unless the bar corrects legal abuses it will wake up some day to find that an irate public has performed the services which are the bar's own obligation.

REAL LEADERSHIP JOSEPH P. TUMULTY has put his Celtic curse on ex- pediency. Long associated with Woodrow Wilson HS political mentor in the beginning, later as secretary, first at Trenton and thence to Washington; falling at last under the Jovian frown which, however, failed to chill his loyalty; subsequently biographer and faithful still, he is deeply moved by what seems to him the treason of Newton D. Baker and Franklin D. Roosevelt in turning away from the League of Nations.

Tho he mentions no names, everyone knows whom he refers to in his denunciation of expediency and his impassioned plea political leaders with convictions and the courage of them. Mr. Tumulty is on secure moral ground in condemning the opportunism of candidates who are vyilling to surrender any position or move over to a new point, or to be noncommittal or cryptic, or whatever is required, to curry popular favor. It is not a new practice, however, nor is it confined to any party. A classic example occurred in the campaign of 1920, when Mr.

Harding contrived to hold the then i anti-Leaguers in line while at the same time such pro-League Republicans as Mr. Root, Mr. vVickersham. Mr. Hushes and Mr.

signed the i which assured the people a Mr. Hanging's election carried the best prospect of our entering the League. Mr. Hoover himself managed the prohibition ques- t.on with similar art in 1928. He was.

of course, the hope and expectancy of the drys, yet editors of Eastern Republican journals were persuaded he was a modilica- tionist, if not a repealer, and passed that impression along to their readers. It is trite to say that no President can take us into the League of Nations, or keep us out, because of his personal conviction, nor can change our prohibition policy. In both instances he is powerless except he have the support of public opinion. T-hit the public, manifestly, has a right to know .1 presidential candidate's attitude in matters of such moment, and if, and hen, they don't know it they are a i a voting for a masked figure. Just how long the peoole will remain true to the dodgers and straddlers and trimmers we have no way of knowing.

What we all know is that the present crisis does call for a leadership candid and unafraid. Purported leaders who fall below that standard, who employ the same old tricks that worked well in normal times, may be successful. When they win the lose. Their election means little, if anything. A can didate without conviction will necessarily be an officia without conviction.

We walk erect and undisturbed hru what is known as the sense equilibrium. This sense is made of a number of senses coming in various places In the human dy In the internal ear there are ic semi-circular canals, small ings of bone containing fluid, with substances in the fluid, these being In different planes or evels From these rings sensations pass to the brain, indicating whether or not we are standing erect, lying flat, or falling downward; whether we are moving forward or backward. As nn example of the way in which they work, all of us have on occasion felt the sensation that we are still going forward when riding on train that has stopped This Is due to the brlet time required for the fluid in the semicircular canals to readjust itself to the new situation Anything that interferes with the mechanism of the semi-circular canals will produce attacks of dizziness Sometimes these attacks take the form of making the person feel that everything else is moving while he Is standing still; sometimes he feels himself moving when he Is not. If the body tends to accumulal acid, a sense of dizziness is a prci inent symptom.

Since the eye helps the inten ear and the muscle sense to Jud position in disorder nt fectlng the ability of the eye to cr ordlnate with these other sense will result in this symptom. If the sensation of dizziness i transitory, and if It yields promptlv to proper hygiene, such as suitable attention to the diet, digestion, the action of the kidneys and correction of disorders of vision, the person need not feel disturbed. However, repented dizziness, which may be the result of an Insufficient blood supply to the brain, of Insufficient action of the heart of a tumor growing in connection with the semi-circular canals, or of some disturbance in the brain, demands careful scientific study A spell of dizziness, like a cough, is danger slgrn--unless heeded disaster may ensue FROM THE TRIBUNE FILES Years Ago Today I I 10 Years Ago Today FEBRUARY 16, 1912 George "Curly" Dile. 27. sustain- i ed a crushed left leg in an accident at the Warwick mines Mrs Mary William.

NEW YORK, Feb. Golden added spice to the season's theatrical dish by turning his cozy playhouse over to that group of valiant show boat troupers from the mud flats. For those from the tall grass, brot up on show boat fare, it was a memorable first night, a. gallant sortie. The only thing lacking was a calliope.

For .40 years. Billy Bryant and his father, Sam, now 76, paddled up and down the Ohio. In that time they wore out three show boats. Billy married during his wonderings and his wife, Josephine, and daughter, Betty, 7, are in the company. Not one ever appeared in New York before.

Indeed, save for a recent stay in Cincinnati and Chicago, their world had been a pleasant drifting from one jay hamlet to the next, season after season. They wouldn't even hesitate at cities for mail. Had they realized they were to face such a distinguished first night audience, Billy Bryant, in a charmingly naive curtain speech, confessed they would have fled He warned after the first act the performance would get worse and worse. And added "You better go i now." Yet his speech had a quality of disarming frankness that completely captivated the stiff shirts and ermine coats. For instance.

"If you think this is rotten, you should see our Hamlet" He confessed they were all "hams," scared stiff and praying not to exit out of town astraddle a rail. But Broadway is so used to boasting Thespians the engaging about face filled the theatre with cheers. Scenery and costumes were tawdry, the lines mawkish, but there was about them a refreshing sincerity-a clean breath of the forgotten marshlands whence they came.

THAT FATAL PRESIDENTITIS GERM From The Week (Rep.) HAT the New York political atmosphere differs not a whit In its curative properties from the same kind of ether In Nebraska was clearly demonstrated this week. The political air of the Empire State is just as- full ol that carbdn dioxide and is just as heavily laden with of presidentitis as is that of the Cornhusker State. William J. Bryan contracted presidentitis In 1896 and its deadly effects, recurring in 1900 and 1908, sent him and his party to the hospital for 16 years.

Despite years of constant treatment the patient showed no signs of national convalescence, even in 1904, until those diagnosticians, Drs. Roosevelt and Talt, disagreed on the treatment ol the party malady, thus furnishing the Democrats with the antitoxin for recovery In 1912. Al Smith filled his lungs with this presi- dentitis germ-laden gas In 1928 and the eifect hangs on, as in a severe case of gas attack In the big war. It seems that, once permeated by this insidious poison, the system can not tnrow it otf. It works like the chills and fever of the pioneers, except that it breaks out with virulence quadrennially instead of every other day.

One can get ria finally of malaria, it Is claimed, but, once bitten by the germs of t.us presidential lever, tne disease Is there to stay till death do them part. So the characteristic rash breaks out on the political body of the ex-governor of New York. Mr. Smith is entering the presidential race not alone to hold a strategic position for his friends, the international financiers and politicians, but in addition because he aoubtless believes he can be nominated and elected. In his fever-inflamed eyes there is the disease- painted picture of Al Smith sitting the White House at Washington and ruling the destinies of a nation so far as Congress and Tammany will permit him to do so.

For Mr. Smith, tnis is all a vain imagining of a fever smitten brain. It Is time to send again for tnat old ambulance which has carried other presidentitis patients to the political hospital. It must be discouraging to sane and sound Democrats that, just at a time when tncir party was showing signs ot recovery and theii colleges of homoeopathic and allopathic and physicians, reenforccd by phalanxes cf mixed savants and quacks, were hourly posting bulletins of recovery and of such a vigorous condition of the patient as caused the Republicans to wear long and anxious faces, the patient should suiter a relapse thru a fresh sting of this persistent and pernicious bug. It is as if a convalescent, witn shining face, strong pulse and all the signs of returned health.

Your patient was looking better than he had looked years, and much better than he had any reasonable right to look, but your doctors must have been careless about disinfecting the bedroom equipment. You cannot be too careful about excluding these germ-laden Implements from the bedside of the sick man, and It should be borne in mind also that there are germ- carriers to presldentltis Just as there are germ- carriers In typhoid, diphtheria and scarlet fever. Typhoid Mary of hospital fame was no more dangerous to the families for whom she patiently labored than was Presidentitis William and is PresldenUtls Al E. to the Democratic party.

AN UNFORTUNATE ANNOUNCEMENT From The St Louis Pest-Dispatch Hind.) I IS in our opinion unfortunate that Alfred E. Smith has cast his hat into the ring foi the Democratic presidential nomination.

The Happy Warrior would have been much happier had he concluded to leave the field clear rather than prejudice the party's chance by asserting his own claims upon It, and so would his party have been happier. The truth is that Mr. Smith is not availabu for- another nomination by the Democratic party As highly qualified as he is upon many scores, he disqualified himself in the 1928 campaign upon the only issue which at this tune promises to differentiate the Democratic from the Republican party. Not until he became its candidate for President did the Demociatic party compromise upon the tariff issue, and we do not see how it could go back to that error and hope to make it good. The Hawley- Smoot tariff, with reprisals against it all over the world, has Immensely increased the importance of the tariff issue.

Yet neithe; Mr. Smith nor Mr. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has recanted anything of the recession which they made in 1928 from the Democratic tradition. The part Mr. Smith is playing now resembles in many ways the selfish part played by Mr.

Roosevelt in 1912. The effort of the former President to come back split his party and permitted the Democrats, a minority party, to win. The position In which Mr. Smith has placed his party might have the same consequence. The Democrats are at this time probably a majority party, but to split them up on the tariff or any other issue would be to let the Republicans win.

We have no doubt that Mr. Smith has considered all this, but he has seemingly been unable to put down the feeling that the party has no right to cast him out when victory is within its reach. This is a very natural feeling, and it Is one with which the Post-Dispatch, which supported Mr. Smith in 1928, has much sympathy; but a political party cannot give precedence to the feelings of the individual. If it is to function as a party.

it must give priority to Its own fortunes. Certainly, for the Democratic party to go into the next presidential race with Mr. Smith as a candidate would be to invite defeat. The next national campaign in the United States will be related in many ways to the plight of the world. Blind tho we be to tne certainty that the world looks to us for leadership, the press of events everywhere is fast forcing us to a realization of our responsibility.

Mr. Smith is not a man whose vision encompasses so great a scene. Admirable executive iho he is, events have so far carried us out into the world beyond our shores that they have left him far outside their orbit His is not in this respect a peculiar case. The same thing has happened to many another able man in public life whose usefulness ended with his domestic service, as it will happen to many another such. To think of the gulf between Dr.

Nicholas Murray Butler and Mr. Smith in this respect Is to make graphic the expectation not here alone but everywhere of the next President of the United States. To resume with the Smith candidacy would moreover, reopen wounds that have by this time all but healed. The malodor of Tammany is even greater now than It was In 1928 nor is there any less religious intolerance in this country now than there was then. Mr.

Smith must know these things. It is unfortunate that they, rather than (be siren voice of ambition. dW not decide choice..
