Science

The invention of greatest import
ence to the human race probably was
the microscope.
This examination opened to exam
ination the world of invisible life. The
discovery Of bacteria alone, through
the microscope, followed by study and
knowledge of this form of life, was
one Of the greatest Of human achieve
ments
The first real microscope is credited
to Zacharias Jansen, a Netherlander.
whose invention was perfected in
1890. Calico few years later, made
some improvements. In 1857 a coun-
tryman of Jansen's named Leeuwen-
hook, discovered bacteria. which may
be regarded as the simplest living
creatures but which have immense
power for both good and evil
The cell doctrine that all plants and
animals are made up, of minute cells
and that every living creature begins
its life as a single cell, was due to the
microscope in the hands Of scientists.
1t has revealed many other secrets
and is unfolding others daily in labor
atories all over the world.

Wanops Walb
To the Editor Of The Times
VII - ,,-oA TTTo II, ,

To the Editor Of The Times
Why so much WaIb?
The Governor was elected on the
Republican ticket by Republican
votes and doubtless not d few Demo
cratic votes.
His administration as Governor is
for Indiana as a whole and not just
for the Republicans. His action as
an individual. while Governor. are
under investigation by the proper
State authorities.
If there is any principle for which
each and every citizen should stand
steadfast, it is. that the individual
is innocent until proven guilty.
Walb, it appears, represents the
extreme in thought of government
by the dominant party.
Walb, is seems. places re-
sponsibility to the party first and to
the people second.
Walb, it appears, would interpose
a supergovernment by party organ
ization.
The Governor is elected by the
people.
With Due Regard
The State chairman is elected by
the district chairman who in turn
are elected by the county chairman
who in turn are elected by the pre-
cinct committeeman with due regard
at all these elections for the more
influential in the party organization.
It would seem if Walb's idea pre-
walls that the duly elected Governor
and other State officials are mere
figUre-heads while the real Govern
ment is by the party organization
behind closed doors.
Walb is doing more to injure the
Republican party than the Governor.
Walb insists on bringing Republican
ism into the matter and connecting
up with the Governors personal
actions and troubles. It must be
assumed that Walb is concerned
about Walb and Walb's success as
chairman.
And Keep Quiet
IF Walb viii subside and keep
quiet the affairs of the Governor win
proceed toward adjustment under
by proper constituted authorities and
when the next election rolls around
the Indiana voters will decide as to
issues before them just as of old and
without laying undue stress on the
actions Of any one individual even
If he has been Governor.
Walb, two years ago county chair
man Of one of the smaller counties,
has been elevated by force Of circum-
stances to his present position which
in his mind, it would appear, is
far more important position than it
is considered by the majority OIL
citizens and voters
Walb is trying to carry too big a
load He should realize that there
are some thousands of voters who
are perfectly capable of thinking,
judging and acting without con-
flicting trivial things with the issues
which are bound to be present at a
general election.
