THE BOSS LOSES

Something more than the mere defeat of one
legislative bill was involved in the vote which
killed a measure which would have sent Indianapolis
back to the old ward system of counclmen with
fifteen members.
1t was the defeat Of the boss of this county. 1t
was his bill and his scheme 1t his plan to
perpetuate bossism and himself
It means something when the members of the
Legislature from out in the State begin to under
stand the conditions of this city and refuse to trade
with that presumably solid block of twelve votes
from this county, not solid at all in fact.
1t means something when these out-State law
makers shy away from bossism in the State capital,
not because the boss is not fine afable gentleman
who always keeps his word and tries to deliver for
their projects but because they know that peo-
pie at home will begin to ask questions.
boss, to be boss long, must always win.
SfIe cannot afford to lose for when he loses, his
supporters held together by very definite bond of
selfish gain, begin to desert and go elsewhere.
This particular measure bossism at it's
worst 1t was step backward and ndefensble. 1t
would have abolished the small gain that comes
through minority representation in the council which
is an advantage.
Machine government depends largely upon the
ability to hide the shells of the sucked eggs
Bossism depends always in providing an alibi
for the agents it uses. 1t needs a eamouhage Of
doubtful responsibility
That exactly what this bill sought and what
the city is saved from by the fear of the Legislature
to tie too closely to the man who has undertaken
the task of governing the city behalf of the
citizens who take too little time to govern it for
themselves.
The rebellion in the ranks at home helped some
The fight made by the city clerk who is not one of
the followers of the boss, was factor. Most impor-
tant was that growing dislike of lawmakers to go
back home to explain why they helped out city
boss. For the people, under the knowledge given
them by a free press, and that means The Times,
are beginning to understand and inquire.
The political boss lasts only as long as people
who object to being bossed permit him to rule. He
exists only when he is able to preserve the appear
ance of invnciblity which frightens timid souls
He passes when the people really understand that
he has power at all and when it becomes unpopu-
lar to traffic in secret places for him.
Score victory for real freedom There are
other triumpjhs in the offing.

THE NEW IS ALWAYS FEARED

The new thing is opposed for reasons which al
most always are proved by history to be wrong
The railroads oppose inland waterway develop
ment for heavy traffic. Failing to prevent it in case
of the Big Warrior River, they find and admit that
the Governments barge business is helpful rather
than hurtful to them.
The express companies fought for fourteen years
legislation for a parcel post. The express com
panes have never been prosperous since the
parcel post act passed
The banks opposed for years the postal savings
banks. 1t has been of the many feeders to their
bullying savings vaults
Grape growers in California posted signs their
lands reading: Prohibition would destroy these
vineyards" Prohibition boosted the price of grapes
to point never known in pre-volstead days.
The bottle makers gloomed over the day when
there would be no more booze for their bottles But
since the awful constitutional amendment was
achieved the demand for belly wash has opened
up fortunes to the bottlers of which they never
dreamed
When the construction of Panama Canal was
preached, there incessant warnings against the
huge drain it would be on the Nations resources The
canal has been making so much money that now
itching to dig one at Nicaragua.
When 1t was talked that goods could be sent
cheaply from coast to coast of the North American
continent by cutting the isthmus of Panama, it was
predicted that freight rates would thus be made
cheaper the continent. The water route is in
operation but the trans-contnenta railroad rates
enormously higher than before the canal was
built
And so 1t goes. The big wise" prophetic bust
ness man may we'll say with the calendar phoso-
pher "The things from which have suffered most
are those which never happened"

Back of the Scenes

Twelve hundred marines are
scheduled to leave here for China
On Thursday. There is a lot of
trouble over there. American mis-
sionaries are coming out of the in
terror, and Americanowned property
is threatened with destruction.
The big idea is to protect our in
terests, but beyond that what do we
really know about the situation? If
we are going to dip into such situa.
lions as a matter of natural duty,
why shouldn't we know more?
Foreign affairs have come to take
a big part in our lives, mainly be.
cause of the trade, cables. radio and
increased intercourse. We are glad
to push business for the sake of the
profit there is in it, but shy at the
knowledge of what is back of the
scehes.
Nothing does more to make our
foreign policy the confused, half.
baked contrivance it has become
than ignorance on the part of the
average people.
The average Englishman can talk
intelligently about China and her
troubles or Mexico or any other ma.
ton, but the average American can
not.
The average American is content
to know but one language. His idea
is to make other people talk, think
and act the way he does.
There are more MeXicans on the
border who can speak English than
there are Americans who can speak
Spanish.
