cooLIpGE THE MoRkER

The Presidents influence is felt in
the most remote activities of the Gov
eminent. There is far less beating
the bushes for votes than could rea-
sonably be expected from an admin
istration which goes to the people in
November for approval. Great pres
sure has been exerted to induce the
President to go west. His conscience
will not let him neglect bis official
duties. 1t is little wonder that he
can leave his campaign to his friends.
Such main makes such friends. In
his quiet way he has set an example
of hard work. honestly in speech and
action, and plain, American industry,
which has done more to purge the
country of wartime extravaganza, in
dolence and moral laxity than any
thing applied since the the armistice
There is safety and security in his
leadership, both now and for foul
years after March A, 1925--Indiana-

THE SUIT

RI following the example of the Indiana Bell Telephone
I Company, the State of Indiana has appealed to the courts.
1t is asking that a receiver be appointed for the company and
that its charter be dissolved on the ground that it has violated
the corporation laws of the State.
William & Remy are to be congratulated for their action. The
public of Indiana is getting tired Of the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company. The regulation of rates has been taken out of the
hands of the public, but perhaps the people of Indiana still can
enforce their laws.
Whether the company is a trust under the meaning of the
laws is a matter for the courts to decide. But that the users of
telephones are helpless. so far as their relations. with the com
pany are concerned is obvious. They can either pay the rates
the company wishes to charge or they can do without telephones.
The company certainly is a monopoly in most of the State, re
CARELESS of the question Of whether it is an illegal trust.
The complaint fled by the State officials sets out the already
wellknown fact that all but nine shares of the stock of the
Indiana company are owned by the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. 1t also charges that although the com.
pany has gone through the motions Of complying with the law,
which requires an Indiana incorporation be controlled by Indi-
ana residents, the control really rests in persons who are non
residents.
We might add here by way of explanation that the ANA"
lean company, owning virtually all the stock, receives the profits
TION, the American company receives AZ per cent of the
GROSS revenue of the Indiana company under the provisions
of an existing contract. In other words, the higher the rates
the more profit the American company makes, and in addition
the AZ per cent amounts to a proportionately larger sum.
1t is to be hoped that the attorney general and prosecuting
attorney push their suit to the limit and that they put an end
to such practices as those of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company in Indiana.

It seems It's too easy to sit back

that wherever you get, it is pretty

A sympathy strain in each fellow

true that whenever you're |spreadin'
such sympathy round you, too often,
feel sorry for you.
You won't need to worry bout

Science

Mathematics crowds more and
more to the front in schools and col
leges all over the world. Today a
working knowledge Of calculation,
including some algebra and geome-
try, is expected of all young persons
who have any education.
This is q great change over a few
years ago. In fact, a knowledge Of
mathematics was considered vulgar,
until recently. among the upper
class shoolboys OF England. At Har-
row. one of Enhland's a%ristocratic
schools, fractions and Euclid were
not taught until 1929, while at Eton,
mathematics were not compulsory
until 1851. 1t was considered i'm
proper for a boy TO study arithmetic
unless he belonged to the artisan
class. 1t was taught. like shoemak-
ing. only to those needing it in work.

In New York
BY STEVE

NEW YORK, June 26.-What do
novelists do in their off hours?
Meredith Nicholson who has given
the world thirty-seven novels is in
New York.
He did not come here to play golf,
ride to hounds or bask in the afflor-
escence of the gilded hotels. He came
here to play politics.
And where, Mr.. Nicholson is speak
ing, does one have the opportunity
to study all emotions Of mankind as
in politics?
Politics offers humanity at it's best
and worst.
You see," he said, in the lobby of
the Waldorf-Astoria, that little fell
low who wouldn't weigh eighty
pounds all wet with a rock in his
hands. He wears barrel cuffs and a
c~elluloid collar. And we'll may he,
for he controls 8 1000 votes. He fair
ly staggers the imagination. Any
where else save America he would be
a peasant"
Mr.. Nicholson believes there is
more romance in politics than in big
business.
Whats the fun of looking at a
ticker when you can see screaming
men, galloping up and down a con-
vention hall in delirium?
America needs politics, but poll
tics also needs Americans. We sneer
at ward heelers and professional pick
thanks but what do we do about it?
"We-most Of us-go out to the
golf course and chase a little golf
ball around"
So firm is Mr.. Nicholson in his
convictions that he, against his will
has been nominated for State Sena-
tor in his home county in Indiana
and he's going to run.
If elected it requires a month a
year Of his time.
And he has written a best seller in
that time.
AS a State Senator he receives IS
a day.
I know a barber who has been
shaving a prominent New York doc
tor every morning at 1880 o'clock for
the past nine years. He never has
missed a single morning.
Each day the barber, a cultured
italian who speaks six languages
1uently and who has the appear
ance Of a nobleman, goes to the doc
tors apartment. bangs loudly at
the door of his sleeping chamber.
In a few moments the doctor is in
q chair getting his morning shave.
The physician relies implicitly on
his harbering alarm clock.

It hardly seems so.
If the suits prove anything, they prove, first, that La Fol,
lette has about three times the speed of the whole Department
of Justice, and, second, that La FolIette's remedies are cor,
siderably more to the point than Attorney General Stones.
It was in June, 1922, that Senator La Toilette secured the
passage of a Senate resolution authorizing the committee on
manufacturers, of which La Toilette is and was chairman, to
investigate and report on the oil industry.
1t was ten months later when Senator Bob smiIingIy came
back with the bacon. There were two plump volumes of evil
dence covering 1859 pages and a sixtynine-page report telling
what the oil people were doing to the public and suggesting
what public officials could and should do to the oil people.
When he made his report to the Senate, La Toilette had dug
up the patentlicensing device, which is the basis for Attorney
General Stones suit, brought Wednesday under the Sherman
law. La Toilette had the contracts and licenses and agreement
all printed in his report and his conclusions and suggestions
were entirely clear.
Having sat idle for a year and a half, the action now
brought is hardly fraction of what La Toilette suggested doing.
In the first place. with respect to all the Standard companies
he believed he established a clear case of contempt of court for
violation of the old Roosevelt degree.
In the next place, he suggested grand jury action instead
of the civil suit preferred by Attorney General Stone.
Then he suggested government suits to void the gasoline
patent and to control export of oil when needed here and to
reduce freight and oil and oil products and to control pipe lines
and so on and so on.
No, it cannot be said that Mr.. Stone has stolen much Of
La Fouette's thunder, nor will the long-delayed oil suit do much
more IN a political way than to admit that the Daughertv regime
in the Department of Justice was "a scandal and a shame.
Among Mr. Stones culprits is the Pure Oil Company, Of
Vice Presidential Candidate Dawes, The Gulf Oil Company, of
secretary d ne treasury Mellon, is not among the defendants.
Both of these great concerns figured prominently in La Fol
lette's report two years ago.
