Public Service"

AOfAN ASHt NAbO
TO the Editor OF The Times
I, noticed an article In The Times
the public service commission refused
to give forth the facts concerning the
Union Traction Company wreck at
Fortville.
Why don't citizens rise up and de-
mand this information?
II I remember rightly thereIs an in
terstate commerce. commission ruling
that public carriers shall not withhold
information concerning accidents. Any
good lawyer would, be willing to say
that 1t Is against public policy to do
so. Unmerciless publicity is the only
way to avoid these accidents in the
future. Why not out with the facts
think 1t is against the Federal law
governing the transportation Of explo-
sives to carry movie films on passen-
ger cars.
It is high time for the citizens to
get busy and tell the public service
commission something; namely that
they would insist upon new commits
sion II the words public service" do
not mean anything to the present COM
mission.
What is the use Of having q public
service commission that doesn't func-
ton?

Gradually more complex forms OF
life evolved. All of them, however,
were back boneless animals.
They included sponges, jellyhsh
and round and fat worms.

of life. Sponges are entirely fixed,
growing on one spot just as plants do.

That Is the squid.
The squid has a spindle-shaped
body inclosed in a muscular fold
known as the mantle. There is a
space between the body and the man
tie known as the mantle cavity.
The squid moves backward by draw
ing water into the cavity through
funnel Just below the head and ex-

HALLS
NEBRASKAN
AS LEADER
Norris Lauded as Straight
and Four-Square to
Principles.
BY HERBERT QUICK

TT HE best news Of the week is
that Senator Norris of Ne
- braslIa will allow the people Of
the State to send him back to the
Senate for another term. He was
hard to persuade, but finally con-
scented.
Senator Norris does not always
agree with me; but let us not con-
denim any man for little limitations of
that sort. He is Nebraska's greatest
man today. If an honest man is the
noblest work of God, Nebraska has
the chance to be represented for six
years more by one of the noblest.
He IS straight, he stands four
square to every wind that blows, and
he always has a reason for the faith
in him. He ought to be elected
unanimously; but I suppose that Is
too much to be hoped for.
Unanimously, because he is a bet
ter Jeffersonian Democrat than any
man the Democrats can nominate
against him, and a better Lincoln Re
publican than can be put up against
him by his Republican opponents.
Defeat DIsgracefuI
It viii be a disgraceful thing if he
is not overwhelmingly nominated and
cted-disgraceful for the voters OF
Nebraska.
ike the way Senator Howell.
Norris colleague in the Senate, has
behaved in this matter, too. Senators
from the same State are apt to be like
two bulls in the same pasture, prone
td go about with their heads on one
side and their eyes rolling, each desir-
ing to be the head Of the herd. But
Senator Howell is reported to have
gone 20 Norris and paved up the
ground in protest against Norris de-
clining 1t was "A creditable act
1t reminds me of the story of Dol
liver. Cummins and Allison OF Iowa.
Cummins was after Aluson's seat.
Allison was old and in bad health.
Dolliver had been a political foster son
OF Allison's. Allison had held him in
line when Dollvier had sickened Of the
boss rule of Aldrich.
Wait for Opportunity
You've got to break away from
this machine, John" said Allison to
Deliver. but wait for a great op-
portunity. And If you can. wait till
I'm gone. can't break away. I'm
part OF the machine. You can-some
tifle-and must, but don't do 1t
nowr'
Dolliver took Allison's advice. More
over, when the Cummins forces went
out to get AIison's scalp, Dolliver
made the fight for the old mainland
such a fight as he made He carried
the senatorship back to Allison and
laid It at his feet. II was a splendid
deed OF loyalty and devotion. When
the right opportunity came, Dolhver
tore loose from the Aldrich machine in
a magnificent outburst OF patriotic in
dignation unequalled in the history OF
the Senate.
Norris and Howell seem to be a fine
pair Of Senators who work together.
So are Walsh and Wheeler OF Mon
tana.

lT HE first great step in the
evolution of life upon the earth
- was the origin of life.
The second great step was the
division Of tho first microscopic
globules OF living matter into the two
classes. plants and animals.
But both the first plarts and the
first animals were one-celled organ
isms.
The third great step was the de-
velopment OF many-celled animals and
plants.
An organism which we find on the
earth today gives us a clew to how
this happened and leads us to be-
lieve that there was a halfway step
between oue-celled and many-celled or
ganisrns.
In canals and streams we find a
microscopic organism which has
boon named the "volvox." 1t looks
like little green ball.

In reality it is a colony OF one

All the microscopic cells forming

BLOW TO JOHNSON
IN CALIFORNIA IS
FINISHING TOUCH
Western Senator Steps Down
Out of Presidential Race
Badly Beaten.
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN

L
WASHINGTON, May = Hiram
Johnson's defeat.by President Coolidge
in the California. presidential primaries
is the severest blow TO Johnson s
prestige since his career broadened be-
yonc the confines of his own State.
Long ago it was apparent that John
son was out of the fight for the Re
publican presidential nomination But
be stayed in. refusing to take the
formal step OF withdrawal that would
have robbed yesterdays defeat of
much Of its significance.
Badly Beaten
Now, Johnson is not only a badly
beaten candidate for the presidency,
but ne has lost the main prop and
pillar of his position-the support of
his home State. 1t has been automatic
for years that Johnson had only to be
a candidate in California TO win. His
enemies, powerful though they were.
have been unable to override the
tremendous popular strength Johnson
possessed.
Johnson was not ready to make any
statement regarding the California re
suit, nor to say whether he would
withdraw from the presidential con-
test. The fact is that he is so far
out Of 1t that the act of Withdrawing
now would seem ridiculous. Indiana,
which showed him under by five or
six TO one, and California, which
turned on her favorite son, withdrew
him more effectively than any state
ment of his Johnson probably win
issue some statement later in the day.
he said over the telephone from his
suburban home this morning.
What Next?
The question Is now what he will
do to recoUp his broken political for
tunes at home. There have been re
ports recently that Johnson would
shortly quit the national political
arena and go back to California Ito
start over again" in a fight to re
Mobilization of the once promising
career which has gone to smash since
he came to Washington. But he can
scarcely do that at this point. He
was elected TO serve in the Senate IN
til 1929. It would embartass him with
his constituents were he to attempt
to give up that post to go back TO
California 10 seek some other proof Of
the States support.
Neither is there any encouragement
fer him in an Independent race for the
presidency. The Liberals regard him
as a Conservative.
