The News From Indiana.

What Albert J. Beverage did in the Indiana
primary was to smash the old Republican ma
chine in that state. A one will rise. 1t
will be of the Beverage make. The machine
now dismantled through the defeat of Harry
s. New was the supporter of the Harding ad-
ministration. 1t was a cog in the national po-
litical machine. Being part of the national ad-
minstration machine, it is certain Senator
New and his Indiana organization got all the
support that the friends of the administration
could give-athough the president was taking
no part in the contest. The Democrats as is
their business, are analyzing the situation ere
ated by News defeat. They are decided that
the triumph of Beveridge means reputation
of the Harding administration; they are going
to say that the result in Indiana means a
change in political sentiment in the country
and that the voters at the November election
will turn to the Democratic party. elect a DEM
ocratic house and reduce the great Republi-
majority in the senate.
The Republicans are going to say that the
people of Indiana are not repudiating the ad-
ministration, but are simply exchanging New
for Beverage. The latter, with u years ex-
perience in the senate, was known pro-
gressiye. He was a Roosevelt Republican,

that is. his progressivism. He made his
paign against Senator New this ground.
And on this issue Indiana Republicans turn to
him. incidentally Senator Watson is charged
with forsaking Senator New and seeking con-
troll of the state Republican machine. Which
greatly eomplicates the situation. from a ma
tonal political standpoint. In reaching con-
illusions as to the cause and effect it should
not be forgotten that Beverage is a great cam
paigneF and won a great many votes, not upon
any issue, but upon his own personality.

Capitalism and Civilization.

Words always show the effect of bad ass0-
ciates. word that may have been perfectly
innocent often becomes scaIy and disreputable.
Take the word capitalislic. Trotzky Kisses
"capitaistiC states until it might be supposed
the adjective stood for something criminal
Capitalism has been used in connection with
greed and trickery OF individuals. But its es-
sential meaning isn't here involved. When the
of the stone age had accumulated enough
food so he could take day off and make him
a stone by which he could get food more
easily than with a stick. he was a capitalist
When any OF Us save moLey and invest it in
some productive enterprise we are capitalists.
Experience demonstrated that we would use
up all our income and not save any unless we
were compensated for the saving. In that way
interest arose. Interest is the wages paid US
for the of what save. If it were posi-
BILE to induce people to save without paying
them for it then would do away with inter
est. But it isn't. So capitalism involves inter
est. Civilization developed through capitalism.
All of US who put money in the savings bank
or buy savings stamps or insurance are CAPT
talists We haven't developed a perfect civil
izston yet But what We have developed is
all based saving; on capitalism. We can
denounce it if that will make US feel better and
go and live in Russia. But incidentally, Trotz-
ky would like TO get a little of the results OF
capitalism for Russia just now.
