Europe Seeks Another War

once again the quarrel between Poland and
Lithuana over wilma threatens the peace of Europe
says Sir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign minis
ter, attending meeting of the league council at
Geneva
And from the way Sir Austen and other Euro
diplomats talk they getting pretty sore For
ten years these two countries have been at daggers
drawn over the province and city of Wilma and
than their troops have clashed and spilled
blood Only repeated intervention by the allied powers
has STAYED off war.
Lithuana's latest gesture to ratify new con-
stitution in which Wilma named as her national
capital despite the fact that Poland holds the city
under title conferred by the allied council of am
bassadors in 1923.
This act Sir Austen holly characterized IAN act
of ill will and provocation," with which opinion
Frances spokesman at Geneva expressed agreement,
adding that if the two countries can't settle their
quarrel shortly between themselves the league should
do it for them.
In fact, the council of the league Immediately
afterward tried to hurry matters by introducing a
resolution demanding quick settlement of the row.
But unanmity required and Premier Waldmaras
of Lithuania, VINO present voted the resolution
down, doing so with heated gestures
The British foreign secretary is not alone among
European statesmen in fearing the outcome OF the
dispute. Six times almost as many years Villa
has changed hands, generally accompanied by blood
she'd
Curously enough, Poles and Lithuanians seem
made to be friends And for centuries they were,
Lithuanians willingly following Polands leadership.
But after the Russian revolution the Lithuanian
nationalist formed a government of their own at
Wilma and so the present began, with variations
far too swift and complicated to be chroniced here
Russian reds chased out the Lithuanians. Poles
chased out the reds The Russians again chased out
the Poles and the Poles again chased out the Russians
Lithuanians denounced the Poles.
At times the dangerous wrangle has seemed to be
settled only up again hotter than ever. Sew
eral times lurked just around the corner.
Small wonder then that the League of Nations is
showing signs irnpatience spark no bigger than
this started the World War and pretty much the same
countries are interested in Poland and Lthuania
The quicker the two principals can be made to
make up and be friends the sooner Europe will breathe
easy.

Desire for Freedom

We have heard lot of nonsense
during the last six months. So far
as purposeful and constructive &C
ton goes. 90 per cent of it could
have been dispensed with.
Purposeful and constructive ac-
tor, however, is not the only. thing
Most tyrannies have been purposeful
and constructive; too much so, if
anything.
What people really want out of
life is the opportunity for self
expression. They may not have
anything, worth while to express,
but neither they, nor others can
be sure of that until they have
had a chance to try.
Free speech makes room for a
dozen fools to every wise man, but
if we silence the fools, we would
also silence the wise man.
Freedom of conscience opens the
way for all kinds of cults and
quackeries. but it also opens the
way for sincere thinking.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-11

But we can not really get acquainted with the
universe if overlook the garden Of the Skies that
marvellous garden which the Creator of all things
has set forth in the houndless of space, the
awe-inspiring universe OF stars.
That great American poet and philosopher, Ralph
Waldo Emerson once observed that If man were
permitted to gaze at the stars only in his life
time he would spend years preparing himself for
that wonderful glimpse of the night sky with its
golden array of twnkling stars
Emerson right. If we could see the stars, but
once, would look forward to the sight with keen
anticipation We would want to know the names OF
the brightest stars. We would want to know the way
in which the stars grouped together into pat
terms or consultations.
But because the wondrous panorama of the
heavens spread out for every cloudless night
give very little thought to it,
The shepherd watching his flock by night in CEN
turtles gone by familiar with the stars than
most of us are today.
This is one of the paradoXes of modern life.
The astronomer is busy today pushing out the
limits of the universe His telescope reveals to him
stars that are far away that they must always
remain invisible to the unaded eye He Sees, there
fore, stars which the anciens did not know in
existence
But while the astronomer has been extending the
limits of the INVERSE most of us have been restricting
the limits of the universe for ourselves.
We have found the lights of the city SO bright that
we have lost sight of those marvellous lights which
hang above the city.
We have forgotten the stars.
If we are wise, we will discover them again.

Noise Hides Work

Back of the barrage of empty
noise and emptier gatherings
which have characterized this cam
paign just as they have character
lied every other in our history, and
always will, so long as this Nation
remains a republic. is the force OF
intelligent leadership.
We have not heard very much
from the men who are really guild
ing political affairs. Most of the
shouting comes from subordinates,
and most of it is meant to serve
no other end than let off steam.
Even most of the shouters who
make it are aware of this.
The real leaders have little time
for such by-play. Senator Smoot
of Utah, for instance, seeks only a
chance to work in peace.
SO, too, Senator Borah is not say
ing very much.
y Back of the scenes, not only the
platform, but the candidates. are
taking shape. That is the one thing
we do not hear much about.
What we hear about are claims
and counter claims, put forward
with the idea of enthusing one
crowd and discouraging another.
Most of the claims are exaggerated
not because those making them lack
honesty, but because it has become
the custom.

With Other Editors

in the allies front rank of the
delegation from Indiana.
That delegation owes its being
in large part to the support it re-
ceived from the Ku-Klux Klan and
the Anti-Saloon league. No moral
strength can spring from such
origins. A strong candidacy can
not be built upon foundations
sunk in the bottomless corruption
of Indiana politics.
Indiana. in American political
life, stands for degradation, for
the subservience of elected officers
To the dictates of organized yea
let's, hypocrites and corruptionists.
When the Senate, in derision,
chanted, Birds of feather flock
together" at Watson's associate,
Robinson, the Senators we're only
rejecting the moral Judgment of
the republic upon Indiana politics
and politicians. The support of
Indiana's delegation is heavier
load than any of the candidates
can afford to Sarry.

Food for a Nominees Thoughts

It takes the fastest ship twenty-one days to make
the voyage from San Francisco to Brisbane Australia
The Southern Cross, with crew Of four, just has
completed it in three days. eleven hours and twenty
one minutes.
We do not know who will be nominated by the
c. o. p at Kansas City this week, nor can we say who
will be the Democratic nominee at Houston
But we respectfully call the attention of the victors
at both conventions to the facts here sketchy pre-
sented. Their significance screams to high heaven
It took mankind million years to move faster
than walk. hundred years ago we could travel no
faster than horse could run
But within the last fourteen months the Atlantic
has been crossed repeatedly in little more than a
day. The journey from the United States to Australia
has been done in less than four.
Astounding as they seenl and are, these records
inevitably will be lowered, and soon.
Lieutenant Williams of the Navy has flown 1922
miles an hour not for just squirt, but in sustained
fight. That is 473 feet second, speed which al
ready is beginning to approach the velocity Of shell
fired out of a cannon.
It is only matter CT time of course, before air
craft generally will be travelling fast Williams
plane And the air will TEEN with commerce. Europe
then will be only eight nine hours from New York.
China but. twenty hours or so from
Australia less than days fight.
For this country to elect President who not
see this vision the very future would be folly
This world OF ours is shrinking fast, for distance is
very properly measured in time not in miles. Wash
ington now is as close to Australia was to Bos-
ton when Monroe was President hundred years ago.
Nothing can happen anywhere on earth, as Pres-
dent Coolidge has just reminded us, which does not
have some effect upon us, for good or for i'll Our
trade our prosperity investments our peace, our
national existence even, are all dependnt upon the
way in which our foreign affairs to be conducted
The President who is to be nominated and elected
this year would be dull indeed to think for one mo-
n1ent that his job is going to be routine or that he
can let precedent be his guide
To the contrary. He will have to blaze trail for
himself whether he likes it or not. He will have to
decide problems such as other President ever
dreamed of before, not Coolidge Of the present
dav Our foreign relations will have to be, not re-
vamped but made over out of the whole cloth, for
brand new era Is upon us, where distance means moth
ing but where Americans, Europeans Australians,
Asiatics Africans and Fiji islanders are all neigh
bors, none independent of the rest, but all inter-
dependent.
The day is past, therefore, when we can afford to
allow cotere OF sef-apponted political bosses in
back room pick our leader for US Such a leader
would wreck US as sure as are born

Coolidge EvadeS Issue

One guess is as good as another.
Mine is that the Republicans will
find way to head off the farm
revolt; that Senator Borah will get
his dry plank and that Herbert
Hoover will be nominated.
Most everybody agrees that Her
bert Hoover will be nominated if
President Coolidge stands aside.
-Four times the President has said
that he intends to stand aside, but
he has not said it in that short
way which leaves no doubt.
One little word of two letters
would have settled this controversy
at the beginning.
Instead of that word, the Presi-
dent found it convenient to employ
the expression st do not choose"
1t is curious how words can be
employed, or interpreted to mess
up a situation.
An old anecdote in English his
tory of which Christopher Marlowe
made use tells how the placing of
comma changed an order to let
King Edward II live into one for
his assassination.

The intersection of st. Clair and
Pennsylvania SITS. was cited as "the
most dangerous" corner in Indian
apolis today in a letter to Mr.. FiXit.
Dear Mr.. FiXit: The most DAM
gerous corner in the city is at
Pennsylvania and st. Clair Sts
There is no safety zone on either
side cars dash from four directions,
seldom giving any warning signal.
When anything is going on at the
armory, especially, cars are parked
so thick, with others rushing hither
ad yon, at night, it is a physical
impossibility, unless at perilous risk,
to get car going north and the
Pennsylvania cars are the scarcest
and slowest in the whole city.
Someone will be killed at this
corner.
1 implore your valuable influence
in providing, in spite of the narrow
ness of the street opposite the park,
a raised safety zone and, at least,
silent policeman.
Police Chief Claude M. Worley
promised Mr.. Fixit to investigate
the advisability of making the
corner a stop street" or erecting
an electric traffic signal.

SAYS:

DLENTY of news, as usual, but
L overShadowed by what is about
to take place at Kansas City, and
later on at Houston.
Under other circumstances, Mobile
and his seventeen marooned COM
panions would be occupying large
part of the front page, but this is
politics day in the court of public
opinion.
1t is a day made merry with by
bunk and hokum, a day Of mean
ingless claims and clamor, a day
Of the looSest kind of talk, but a day
that would not and could not BE-
real without such things.
The tendency, especially in bust
ness and high brow circles, is to be
bored, is to say the game has ceased
to be worth the candle. to point oct
the quiet efficiency of a Mu6solirl
in contrast with the clumsy inju5-
tice of a Soviet, and wonder if we
have not gone too far in the extern
sion of popular rights.
One feels such an attitude on
every hand, and feels it when cleo
ton returns are tabulated, with
only half the people voting.
But how would our wise men and
women run a republic without
politics, and how would they run
politics without the ballyhoo?
Freedom is something that peo-
pie have to test every once in a
while in order to be sure that they
possess it. Politics gives them the
chance.

An Odd Contrast

The days assortment of news sometimes contains
some oddly contrasting items.
United Press report the other day bore two
strikingy incongruous stories One told how Sam
Pine Bird, a Sioux Indian, of the West, was acct
IDENTIFY killed by being run by old-time prairie
schooner The other, from Berlin told how the great
Iufthansa arplane line may be tied up by threat
ened strike of its personnel.
What sort OF world we living in, anyway?
Those two news stories don't belong in the same
paper One ia intensely, completely modern-192s in
its essence. The other is throw-back to the days
Of the wild West Odd that they should hit the wires
the same day.

The Bitterness viii Die

II Smith is nominated will the Democratic South
go Republican?
If Hoover is nominated, will the Republican West
go Democratic?
In other words, will wetness and religion on the
one hand and the farmers plight the other alter
the whole map of politics? t
AS the calendar swings into convention week, those
questions stand out.
The question about Smith and the South isn't new.
It was reckoned in the beginning 1t has been d.
minishing in Importance in light of recent events
The second, about Hoover and the West once was
like the cloud in Noah's day-no bigger than mans
hand But it grew and grew until there is no deny
ing the threatening aspect of it now.
Increasing bitterness against Hoover was the out
standing note in City. where this written
Sunday. That bitterness bids fair to growing right
up to balloting time.
Will it stop Hoovo-
All signs say no.
Will it live after his nomination and continue to
increase?
We believe motor the following reasons: Hoover
has been painted as the enemy of the farmer. Who
has done the painting? Not Hoover himself but those
who want another nominee
The farm argument was their one big bet. They
seized upon it, They made it grow. There is nothing
inherent Hoover himself or his attitude toward
the farmer that in the least juStifeS the assumption
that he is IN TACT the farmers enemy The opponents
who are making so much of the farm issue, down in
their hearts, know that.
The weakness of the Hoover opposition, there
fore, lies in it's insincerity. With breath they
cheer for Coolidge, the man who vetoed the McNary-
Haugen bill; with another they cry against Hoover
the farmers foe.
Now those who are feeding the fires of bitterness
are in Kansas City. They are poitcians-the Jim
Watsons and the like. Being politicians, they by
the very nature of things in final analysis, regular.
Loud though they today in their attacks
against Hoover they will be the first to get aboard if
he is nominated. They will go back home among
their constituents and behalf of the very they
now berate will busy themselves at the gentle job of
salvng the wounds into which up to now they have
been rubbing salt.

No Germ Isolated as Cause of Colds

gistS are convinced that it is not
a single germ but the presence of
many germs that may be respon-
sible for different epidemics or in
different individual cases.
Many people are convinced that
changes in the weather are asso-
ciated with catching cold.
Exposure to inclement weather,
dampness, or sudden change, par
ticularly sudden changes from very
warm to very cold, seem to be def
nitely related to rapid spread of The
common cold in the community.
Colds are more frequent in cold
weather than in warm weather.
This fact was known even in the
time of Hippocrates, who argued
that the fluids of the body were
CONCEALED by the direct effects of
the cold The argument has not,
however, been sIbstantiated by sci
entiflc observation.
A draft is defined as a current
n of air blowing with great veloc-
ity at low temperature on some
part of the body.
If one sits in a warm stuffy room.
or in any place when the body is
overheated and is blown upon sud-
denly with cold air, he is likely to
develop a cold.
There are all sorts of explanations
as to the mechanism of this process,
the best one being that congestion
Of the tissues takes place with asso-
ciated irritation and greater oppor-
tunity for the germs to begin thel-
work on the tissues.
Tt is a general observation that a
cold tends to get we'll in from five
to ten days regardless of what may
be done for it, whether one carries
potato in the back pocket, a bag
of aSafetida around the neck, puts
his feet in hot water, or adopts any
of the patent medicines that are
widely sold in drug stores for self
trea tment.
Regardless Of this fact, however, it
is worth while to adopt certain def
mite measures with a view to short
ening the extent of the severity of
the infection.
The old-fashioned treatment in
cluded the hot bath, followed by hot
lemonade and then perSpiration I'M
der several blankets.

A Poor Seller

Coolidge could have had the nomination if he
wanted it.
But he didn't choose to run
Civil war developed in the Republican party be-
cause of that and there blood letting along sew
eral fronts in Ohio New York Indiana and elsewhere
The party, while not bled white, was weakened,
and the enemy was strengthened in proportion.
All that would not have happened if Coolidge had
wanted the nomination.
Even those in his own party who doubt his sin
certify don't doubt his political sagacity They know
that he knew that his refusal run spelled trouble
within the party.
And they just can't see how he deliberately filed
his pockets full of rocks just before starting foot
That's why the draft Coolidge boys are having a
hard time selling their wares in Kansas City,
