ADVANCE OF
CIVILIZATION
Ew gF-

Is lHARLES NJ. SCHwAB, at
dinner at the Indianapo-
S lis Athletic Club the other
night. said he would like to be
starting his career now. because
the immediate future holds in
store greater possibilities of prog.
ress than any other period we
have known.
The progress OF mechanical and
material civilization is accelerat-
ing at dizzy speed. A greater adj
vance In arts, industry and science
has taken place In the past CEN
fury than in the whole period from
the Punic wars to the invention Of
printing.
There was more in common be-
tween the material civilization Of
Washington's time and the Roman
civilization of the Caesars than
between washington's time and
the present.
George Washington doubtless
would have felt strange wrapped
in a Roman toga. But except for
pants, printing and gunpowder his
age POSSESSED little more in the
way OF conveniences than classical
Rome. Modes of travel and COM
munication were no better or
faster. Steam and electricity,
though present in the world from
the beginning, had not been put
to work. Industry still depended
on hand labor.
Unlimited mechanical power has
unleashed the human mind. Civili-
zation plodded leisurely from the
Garden of Eden to the steam en-
CINE. Then 1t broke into a gallop.
Since then it has Travelled faster
and faster.
In scarcely thirty years automo-
biles have grown from crude con-
traptions to common necessities,
swarming on every road and nest
ling in the bosom of every family.
The airplane has developed even
more rapidly. while radio yester-
day was only dream and today
is everywhere.
Probably the next twenty-five
years will witness even more start
ling advances than the past fifty.
Mr.. schwab expressed a futile
wish but not a foolish prophecy.

Barthelmess is cast as the man
who seeks soul fire or inspiration

master Of every mood. He actually

IWI ator Richard P. Ernst OF
L1 Kentucky, who has succeeded
the late Senator Spencer of Missouri
as chairman of the Senate comy4iit-
tee on privileges and elections, is
now making final preparations for
a recount of the ballots in the last
Iowa Senatorial election.
On the face of the returns last
November, Senator Brookhart re
tained his seat by majority of 755
votes. His Democratic opponent,
Dan F. Steck, filed a contest, claim
ing many votes in his favor had
not been counted.
\. The Senate ordered a recount. To
date the vote has been retabulated
I'm twenty Of Iowa'sl ninety-nine
counties. The twenty counties use
voting machines which had to be
.emptied to make way for other To-
Zeal elections, and so that part of the
recount was conducted in Iowa.
Brookhart gained 622 votes, making
his present net lead 1877.
Ballots Not Counted
In the seventy-nine counties in
which voting machines are not used
no recount has been held. Most of
the ballots have been shipped to
Washington and are now held in the
Senate elections committee. 1t is
these ballots which will be checked
over during the next month or six
weeks.
The committee on privileges and
elections, once 1t has completed the
recount, will make a report to the
Senate next December. 1t will not
be until the Senate as whole votes
on the committee report that the
Contest will be finally disposed of.

November was obtained in the face

grand jury in Chicago on charges
OF violating the Sherman anti
trust act.
Price fixing and curtailing Of
production to maintain high prices
and destroy competition are
charged.
Furniture men declare that fur
niture prices show n greater de-
cline from the war peak than
other commodities. Perhaps so.
Nevertheless the price of house

any hopeful bridegroom will dis

Industry Is after profit There
fore it trends toward mergers, as
sociations and combinations to
prevent ruinous competition and
increase profits. If this tendency
operated unrestrained perhaps the
consumers throat would be cut
from ear to ear.
To keep industry in a whole
some frame OF mind and to pre-
vent restraint of trade there is
need Of frequent investigation.
regulation and prosecution. Such
activity may discourage trade

the busiest laws on the statutes,
has accomplished little for the con-
sumner.

day address discussed the relation be-
tween the State Governments and the National
Government. There are great practical prob
lens involved in this relationship he said,
and shall take this occasion to try to turn
the public mind il that direction.
His address as a whole is well calculated to
do Just that 1t raises so many issues, while
touching upon each in an inconclusive manner,
controversial comment. Interstate commerce,
divergent divorce laws, State tax exemptions,
State prohibition endorsements, State extrava-
gances, State laxities in law enforcement and a
few states Of mind
1t may be safe enough speech In some
State or other there will be found an example
Of every condition suggested by the President
and it will do no State any harm to consider
the evils that lie close to home. Perhaps, how
ever, the President is victim of what is some
times called the Washington viewpoint if he
feels that the citizens Of the States ere giving
all their thought to Washington and none to
their State capitals. A brief soiourn in most
any State would convince him to the contrary,
It is we'll enough that the President should
have in mind and that National Legislators
should have in mind the danger of Federal en-
croachments upon the rights Of the States.
There is basis Of truth in the assertion that
bureaus sometimes grow and flourish too thick
ly in the National Capital but that does not
ahsolve the National Government Of its duties
. toward the States and the people of the States.
Just now there is being witnessed in Wash
ington a palpable Sinking of certain of these
duties Taking advantage Of the cry that the
government is becoming bureaucratized,
movement is under way to kill off two govern
ment agencies that contain great possibilities
Of service to the people. They grew naturally
out of real need. One is the Federal Trade
Commission, conceived out Of the need for
some agency necessarily an interstate agency
that would enforce fair trade practices in
the interests not only of the average consumer
but of the average business man. That COM
mission has been deliberately wrecked by
manning it with majority utterly out of SYM
psthy with it's purpose. Now it is proposed
y to Kill 1T.
Another is the United States Tariff Com
mission. Throughout the history of the Amer
lean protective tariff system, manufacturers
had been allowed practically free hand in the
writing of the tariff schedules The people
paid exorbitant prices for many commodities
as a result The people complained, but the
manufacturers furnished the campaign con-
