methods. to which is to be added
The fear of partisan politicians as a
oanger to party control in dropping
the party emblem from the ticket.
Gradually these fears are being
eliminated, as it has become more
and more apparent that intelligent

Local Ballots
The short ballot proposal, with its
possibilities for promoting independ-

added merit of stimulating hope for
more effective democracy through
the direct responsibility of a few Of
ficials elected on a nonpartisan bal
lot. has its greatest appeal for ap-

1t thus happens that the most pro-

short ballot is in recent proposals

TEST OF
CIVILIZATION

S HOP THOMA F..
R GAILOR, in his Lenten SER
LII mon at Christ Church
Thursday. declared that obedience
to law is the test of civilization.
History shows clearly that
whenever men have tried to live
without law they have lost their
freedom he said. Law is a safe
guard of liberty and a civilized
people is people that submits to
law"
Judged thus America is no
over 99.44 per cent. civilized.
Obedience to all laws is not con-
spicuous national characteristic
we submit in spots.
OF course Americans aren't in
herent1y more wicked or anarch-
istic than other people. But one
citizen evades one law that is
distasteful. A second finds another
statute irksome and ignores II.
And so on, until the total OF dis
obedience to laws. in the country
is staggering.
The primary purpose of law is
to protest the individual and the
fruits of his industry. 1t is the
outgrowth Of customs governing
the conduct of the individual in
his relations to society to insure
the greatest good to the greatest
number.
But many Of our present laws
are nto for the protection Of the
individual or society. They result
from the itch OF the few to regu-
late the many.
If we had fewer meddlesome,
restrictive, sumptuary regulations.
posing as laws and swapping at
the heels OF inoffensive, peaceful
citizepS, there would be more
obedience to law.

AN APOSTLE
OF PUBLIC HEALTH

H7R. JOHN N. HURRY is
dead. With his passing In
IL diana loses more than an
illustrious citizen. 1t is the pass
ing Of a man who had become an
institution.
He was a pioneer and leader in
the public health field, known and
recognized throughout the Nation
as one of the outstanding figures
OF his time in preventive medicine.
As a teacher. lecturer. writer, ad-
ministrator, apostle. he gave his
long and active life to service of
the public.
For almost twenty-seven years
he was secretary of the State
board OF health. His ability and
enthusiasm transformed a musty
State bureau into a great agency
for public service.
Through his efforts the Legisla-
ture passed the first pure food and
drug act in the United States
which served as a model for other
PNAeNS anu AOA THO law"
and other progressive acts to i'm
prove sanitary conditions in In
diana.
Was his a successful career?
Measured in stocks and bonds
corded up in a safety deposit box.
or in houses and lands and visible
wealth, probably his success would
be termed moderate.
But thousands of school children
in this State enjoy better health,
more sanitary surrounding, and,
with sounder bodies, have brighter
futures because OF him. His in
fiuence has made Indiana a better
place to live.
Such a career Is not revealed by
bank ledgers but by better human
bodies. Improved public health is
his enduring monument.

Political Parties and Election Methods
The Short BaIIot-City Manager

3. The Short BalIot-City Manager
IKE other institutions of
III civilized life, our election
IL methods are evolutionary
products growing out OF experience
and experimental processes. Our
conception of democratic political
expression in the early days of the
Republic led to the practice of cleo
ing almost every kind of public Off
cial, without discrimination, from
the highest to the lowest, the ex-
pert and the unframed, the voting
being carried on in the open and
with no secrecy OF the ballot. In
time this form of voting led to great
abuses through intimidation and
corrupt practices, particularly prev
alent in Industrial and populous
centers, though open vote buying
scandals were not uncommon in
rural communities. While the bal
lot continued to grow in length and
cumbersomeness, important reforms,
by necessity, came into existence
from time to time touching upon
the manner of casting the ballot,
principally In the direction Of
secrecy. The most important of
these changes was the introduction
OF the Australian system of voting.
which provided for a simple and an
absolutely secret and protected bal
lot, which method, In principle, is
now the universal practice, and has
had the result OF fully protecting
the voter in his independence as to
the mere act OF casting his vote.
But In the face Of the constant
1zrowing length and cumbersomeness
NC the ballot. coupled with an in
tense party psychology. political
vparties wer eled to introduce certain
methods, under the guise Of sim.
plification, that have resulted In
largely neutralizing the other bene-
fits arising from the use of the
\ Australian ballot, along with arbi-
Srary time limits for voters, alto
gether serving to influence voters
TO vote straight tickets. instead Of
using discrimination in selecting
candidates. This reduced voting to
a mechanical process, In which the
