Put Indiana on the Air
lawyer.

Every citizen who possesses radio set or hopes
to have one-and that means every one-should use
every effort to persuade national officials that a
strong local broadcasting station is needed
Communication through the air is important
Cities which have none find it dffhcult to bring to
them of national reputation with real messages
In these days of intense activity and increased
population, audiences no longer are limited to ca
pacty of halls and auditoriums. Men who have
something real to say are entitled to the largest
hearing.
The local station, wFBM, is asking for permits
sion to enlarge to the point where it will be on q
parity with stations in other large cities,
1t asks permission to send out the spirit and the
message of indianapolis to far places. There is a
large territory which must be reached.
Federal control Of the air now is established 1t
would be pity if the largest inland city were with
out proper representation.
Indiana must be kept on the air. It's story Of tri-
umph-and it has triumphs-must be told: Local
pride and every of fair play demand that the
request of the local station be given favorable con-
sideration.

What Other Editors Think

regain its dignity among the other States of the
Union.
Governor Jackson holds that it is his duty to
successor to Mr. Miller, and the latter asserts he was
elected TO Office by the people and that it is his duty
to see that capable successor is selected in his
place He has accepted the position of superintendent
of the indianapolis schools, but says that this is
employment and not an office, and for that reason he
is not holding two Offices at the same time.
What both the Governor and Mr.. Miller overlook
is that the people who elected them to office the
ones who are vitality interested in the controversy.
They care little for the dignity of either the Governor
or the former superintendent of public instruction
nor where the right to appoint rests They believe
that Jackson and Miller ought to be big enough to
bury their private feuds that the people of the
State may be served.
If people and then lose confidence in the
governing class, the cause can be found in silly
squabbles of this kind in which two officials sub
ordinate the common good to their own personal
pride, arrogance and love of power.
Another fruitful cause for popular discomfort In
governments is maladministration such as Mayor
Duvall nf1icting upon Indianapolis His appointment
of Claude M. Worley to be chief of police the
protest of the board of safety and the wishes of the
people has shaken public confidence there to the
very foundation Chief of Police johnson had re-
stored discipline in the department and was getting
results. There reason for the shift excepting
the mayors determination to put Worey at the head

accept the nomination He said also that he favored
the denomination of President Coolidge.
Since that time Coolidge has said he does not
choose to be the candidate again. After certain
amount of harsplitting the meaning of the word
choose" the country has accepted it as fact that
Coolidge is not to be considered Other candidates
who had held back waiting for word from him are
now actively in the field.
But Hughes, home from Europe, elects to join the
steadily dwindng minority that thinks Coolidge still
will be candidate if sufficiently persuaded. He is
of the opinion, he says that Coolidge win be nom
mated and elected and he adds, IT am for that"
In other words, Hughes cannot see Hoover or
Lowden or Dawes or Longworth or any Of the others
now being considered by his party.
Is it possible that, in case Coolidge presently
proves beyond question his intention to retire Hughes
will have to find another candidate for the c. o. p?
He. has analysed Cootdge's words in lawyer-like
manner to prove they didn't mean what we thought
they meant when Coolidge spoke them. Will he be
able to demonstrate that by too old" he meant some
thing entirely differentp Will he find some dgnifed
method of retreating from the position of neither
seeking nor accepting?
Maybe. Nobody ever has denied Hughes is good
lawyer.

Dry Machines Gary

The highest tribute yet paid
Wheeler, and possibly the highest
that can be paid him comes from
G. G. Hinckley, secretary of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment. He said "the Anti
Saloon League will find no one ito
fill Wheeler's shoes"
Millions of people are thinking
the same thing.
Wheeler did for the Anti-Saloon
League what Judge Gary did for
the United States Steel Corpora
ton.
He was born organizer. His real
achievement consists of the political
machine which he operated and
perfected, and which has momen-
tum enough to run it for a long
time, no matter how it may suffer
for lack of leadership.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-07
Not a Party Man

Wheeler was not a party man as
political bosses usually are.
He deliberately isolated himself
from the restrictions of partisan
ship, betting on his ability to
manipulate any administration that
might be in power.
1t was bold game to play, and
the fact that he carried it out
successfully speaks volumes for his
ability.
He wrote prohibition into the
structure of both great parties until
each became like putty in his hands
and he passes out of the picture
leaving them inarticulate.
Prohibition is universally recog-
nized as great issue in this coun-
try, but with the existing lineup,
people can find no way to express
themselves on it. That is Wheeler's
greatest triumph.

1t is most encouraging and refreshing to find the
attorney generals Office in two great representative
American commemorative Ohio and Indiana-occu-
pied by men with the courage to speak
ro,,,.cooo,,e out and tell the truth about the ma
"S 0o"o levolent influences exerted by the pro-
Attorney fessonal LOBBYISTS who have held far
Generals more sway over public servants than
has been good for the public interest.
Both Attorney General Gilliom of Indiana, and At
torney General Turner of Ohio, are fearlessly con-
demning super government in the hands of second
and third-rate lobbyists who often in the name Of
God, invoke tyranny unworthy of our entire body
of governmental institutions We do not believe that
this courage will have any undesirable reaction upon
the political fortunes of either attorney general since
it is coming to be increasingly realized by the men and
women charged with community leadership that they
are performing an enormously important public
service these exposures either should be retired
from public Office at the expiration of his present term
las trust may not transpire. although that seems
be the choice and preference in Mr. Gllioms case
both still will have accomplished much, for both
will have aroused considerable volume of public
opinion against government by bowling minorites and
self seeking blocs, and that sentiment is bound to
keep growing The impudent lobbyists and their
bosses whom Mr. Gilliom and Mr. Turner have exposed
are already fighting both bitterly, but their very
antagonism is serving to rally strong public senti-
ment to their support.

THE TIPPING-BUCKET RAIN
GAUGE

GAUGE
There are several different kinds
of rain-gauges in which the record
of rainfall Is made automatically
and continuously. The one most
widely used in this country is the
clipping bucket" gauge.
This instrument is remarkable
combination of simplicity and in
genuity. The "bucket" is little
metal trough, pivoted in the middle,
so that it can tilt back and forth,
seesaw-fashion. 1t is divided into
two compartments by central
partition. Rain falling into afunnel-
shaped receiver at the top OF the
gauge flows into whichever compart-
ment of the bucket is uppermost.
until the weight of the water causes
the bucket to tip, thus emptying one
compartment and presenting the
other to the incoming stream. When
the second compartment is filled, the
bucket tips in the opposite direction.
The parts of the gauge are OF such
dimensions that each tip of the
bucket corresponds to al depth VI
Dol inch of rainfall. The gauge is
connected electrically with register
ing appara lis indoors, so that every
tip of the bucket is recorded. The
register sheet shows the time OF oc-
currence as we'll as the amount II
rainfall.
If you are of a mechanical turn
of nlrd and the foregoir descrip-
ton interests you, why not visit a
Weather Bureau station and inspect
the instrument itself? You will f1nt{
plenty of other interesting contriv-
ances at the same place.

France the news columns tell us, wishes to make
another loan of S100000OO0 in this country.
And, the story goes good many people, including
Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate foreign rea-
tons committee. are objecting to any such loan
being made.
France, they argue refuses to ratfy the Mellon
Berenger pact refunding the French debt to us,
and until that is ratified, France ought not to be
allowed to borrow more money in this country
Would it not be conducive to better understand
ing between the peoples of these countries" Senator
Borsh asks in letter to Secretary of State Kellogg
'f such loan were discouraged until the two govern
ments have reached agreement relative to the
adjustment of the French debt?" ~
Frankly, it would not, in this newspapers opinion.
That is precisely what it would not do 1t would
simply add to the prevailing misunderstanding be-
tween the two peoples. The loan should be author
lied, and here is why:
In the first place, France is not represented as
asking for penny of new money. She merely wishes
to borrow from American 6apks, enough money at a
lower rate of interest to pay of loans obtained at
higher rate of interest.
In 1920 France borrowed s90oOOOO0 in this coun-
try at per cent In 1921 she borrowed $S7 SuU
at 7 per cent and in 1924 she obtained thrI loan
Of $1000o000o at per cent. The 1921 bonds not
calable. The 1920 and the 1924 bonds-totaling
$190,00000o-are. Now France wishes TO call in one
or both Of these series with cheap money AS she
is not asking for any money, the only question,
1t seems to U.S. Is: Is she entitled to cheaper money?
And the consensus of opinion would seem to be that
she is.
In the past twelve months Frances finances have
greatly changed for the better The franc uctuat-
ing between forty and fifty to the dollar last sum-
mer, has long been stationary at approximately
twenty-five to the dollar. And whereas the bank of
Frances advances to the government last year were
at their very maximum near the forty billion mark,
today they below twenty-five billions. Legally
the government is entitled to about seven billion
francs more than it has actually called for.
Thus it will be seen that Frances credit stands
vastly improved She make it better still if she
only call in some of the loans made at compare
lively high rate of interest and replace them with
loans obtained at more reasonable figure
If France is allowed to refund the two loans
totalng $190,000000 made in this country at Z and
per cent by borrowing money per cent she stands
to tighten her annual budget by difference In inter-
est amounting, at the present rate of exchange to
some 100000 francs.
That, as we understand it, is what France hopes
to do 1t means real saving to her. To US it means
nothing more than an accommodation done in
friendly spirit 1t would help France and not hurt us
Refusal on our part means new, world wide reac-
ton against After Shylock the world would call
us dog in the manger.

| Breaks Under Strain

The unexpected passing of Wayne
B. Wheeler inspires one to recall
such things.
Three months ago, he was ap-
parently in the best Of health and
spirits, a comparatively young man
and good for many years.
Then his wife was burned to
death, her father dying OF shock
at the spectacle, and he seems to
have broken under the strain, all
of which had nothing to do with
his work or his career.

New Type of Boss

Wheeler was an anomalous figure
in politics. type of boss with
which the country was totally I'M
familiar, and which most people
were slow to recognize as genuine
for that reason.
Even such shregd observer as
Mark Hanna failed to appraise
Wheeler for what he was worth
until the latter compelled him to do
so.

Wheeler called on him some thirty
years ago, Your kind of people are

Particularly does the former Governor appear in
an advantageous light when the story is told-and
not denied-that the present Governor then secretary
