Establishing of Values

Sometimes you cannot helm
wondering where values come from.
1t is little less than an ex-
travaganza to find names selling for
a price that their owners could
never meet, to find the manuscripts
OF books bringing more than the
books themselves. DR.. Rosenbach
outbids the British Museum, paving
more than $4,000 for the original of
Alice in Wonderland" and the
manuscript of Poe's Raven" brings
$1,000.
Poe received a mere pittance for
the poem, and would not fare much
better today.
Does this prove appreciation of
good poetry or pride of possession?
There is obviously a psychological
side to value.
Whether it is a share Of stock I'm
General Motors, a Button GWinnet
signature or banjo clock, you have
to go beyond what the thing really
cost, what it has accomplished. or
what it will earn to find a sound
reason for the amount some people
are willing to pay for it.
Though we regard one as purely
commercial and the other as purely
artistic, we appraise stocks and
antiques in much the same way.

Ohio and Hoover

The fight against Hoover will go on in Ohio not
WlthStanding that the leader around whom the
opposition rallied Senator Willis, had a large and
loyal following of friends and admirers who we're
really for Willis But the master politicians leading
his cause were more against Hoover than for Willis
and sought to make use of his popularity to serve
their own ends.
The issue hasn't changed. The field is combined
against Hoover. Powerful politicians and interests
back of them want a candidate who will listen to
reason and won't insist too MUCH on doing his own
thinking.
They prefer Dawes, Lowden or some dark horse
as yet hiding behind the scenes Undoubtedly Sena-
tor Willis himself had an honest ambition to be Presi-
dent and could conceive of a situation where with
Hoover blocked, he might be selected as the nominee
But there is little reason to believe that some Of
the political hackers really we're playing the game
to nominate him. They hoped to use an Ohio dele
cation secured in the name of Willis to nominate
somebody else if Hoover could be pocketed by a
combined fayorite vote.
The situation now is more complicated; but the
elements are the same.

find it difficult to shape the conflicting opinions or
the various factions OF his party into tuneful key
note entirely minus sour note or two
Modern party platforms constructed skfully
to touch on important issues without saying
anything, and a keynote speech must ,be built
what along the architectural plan. 1t is made
by the temporary chairman after the conven-
ton has been opened with non-partisan, nom
committal prayer and before the platform commit
tee has even met.
If it were the practice to make bold and emphatic
declarations live issues in political platforms an
outspoken keynoter might make the job of the plat
form committee quite embarrassing by starting the
convention OF on the wrong FOOT
He might view with alarm where the committee
intended to point with pride Or he might lean either
wet or dry when the committee had no intention Of
leaning at all.
To illustrate, Nicholas Murray Butler couldn't be
trusted to Go the keynotng. Neither could Senator
Borah.
Either would probably say something about pro-
hbition whereas the platform will favor law en-
forcement and let it go at that.
The situation demands a loud-speaking orator who
can do clog dance a crate of eggs without crack
ing either smile shell. And Mr.. Hughes prob
ably doesn't care to be that kind of dancer.
In the interest of economy we suggest that the
same soft-speaking keynoter be selected to do his
stuff at both conventions In these modern days one
keynote will go well in one convention as in an
other. We nominate Will Rogers.

since its formation.

since its formation.
This theory starts with the assumption that atoms
composed of two fundamental entities, the posi-
tive electrons and the negative electronS
The simplest atom is that of hydrogen. Tt has a
nucleus composed of one positive eectron. One mega
tive electron revolves around this nucleus.
The next atom is that of heliurn. 1t has complex
nucleus composed Of four positive electrons and two
negative There two negative electrons revolving
around the nucleus.
Each succeeding atom becomes more complex, but
the following simple rule holds:
There is always an excess of positive negative
electrons in the nucleus, this being three for
lthum, four for beryium and on up to 80 for
uranium.
The number of eectrons revolving around the nu-
cleus is always equal to the of positive
negative eectronS in the nucleus
Thus there three planetary eectrons in lithium
four in beryyllium and up to 90 in the case of
uranium the heaviest of all the atoms.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the atoms make a
regular sequence from hydrogen which has cleo
iron revolving around the nucleus, up to uranium
which has 90. The number of electrons revolving
around the nucleus is known as the atomic number
Thus the atomic number Of hydrogen is one, of
helium two, of lithum and three and so on.
The planetary electrons revolve in orbits some OF
which circles and some hattened circles or ell
lipses
Let us see next how Bohr explains the emission OF
light, X-rays and similar phenomena.

An Important Job

Important as it is to elect men to the high
Offices of Governor and United States Senator
and to see that the choice of the people is
named as a candidate for President, it is quite
as important to see that the forces of evil do
not control the Office Of prosecuting attorney or
that it falls into the hands of weak man.
Two years ago The Times first took up the
challenge given by Boss Coffin to the election
Of William H, Remy.
1t pointed out that machine politics and
crooked politics were fighting Remy and that it
was necessary for an aroused public conscience
to save this one place from the machine.
The people did rally-and history was
made
Had Remy been defeated at that time, does
any one believe that crooked councilmen would
now be attempting to barter designations for
their liberty or that others who had betrayed
their trust would be under sentence to prison?
The evil forces Of his community, and there
are evil forces in every big city, are now de
feated.
They must remain defeated.
The little fellows who are used by the
higher-ups react to fear very rapidly. They
are afraid when they know that there is in
the prosecutor s Office a man who is not only
eager to enforce laws but has the ability to dis
cover crime.
1t is rather unfortunate in this situation
that the list OF candidates for the nomination
does not include the grand jury deputy whose
tireless work, unusual ability and answering
devotion to the public good aided SO much in
bringing about the needed indictments.
1t would seem that the forces in the Re-
publican party which are sincerely DESTROYS of
permanent redemption would invite William
5..as:.n~ to become a candidate for that nont
nation.

Traffic on the Missouri River

1t now appears that the Missouri River will soon
become again what it was half century ago-an
important traffic artery.
Government experts who have finished survey
report that they find large amount of potential
business for barge line especially that part of
the river between st. Louis and Kansas City. Brig
Gen. T. G. Ashburn, head of the Inland Waterways
Corporation says eighty barges and six tugs will be
put in service if Congress gives its approval
There was time when our rivers were our great
est highways Then the railroads came along and
nearly killed river traffic entirely. Now traffic
is revving again; not because the railroads are fail
ing but because the country is big enough to
need both kinds Of transportation.

Dante married Comma del Donati.
and had with her four children and
many Understandable to forget the
face of the girl who had died be-
fore time could efface her beauty,
or realized desire could dull the
edge of imagination.
For, says Boccaccio, he had ere
ceived the image of her into his
heart with such affection. o.. never,
so long as he lived, did it depart
therefrom."
But time has it's way; and Dante,
now grown to the voting age,
plunged into the whirlpool of poll
tics. He joined the Whites against
the Blacks, and the supporters of
the emperor against the pope. In
1900, for three months, he was one
of the seven members of the COM
mission that governed Florence.
Then, as quickly as he had risen,
he was overthrown; the Blacks, with
the help Of Pope Boniface VIII;
overcame the Whites, and Dante,
with his fellow commissioners, was
sent into indefinite exile, while their
property was confiscated and sold.
n
TOR years he wandered in pow
l. erty, deserted by his family and
his friends, who found his stern
and implacable spirit uncomfortable
company. He called upon the en-
peror to invade italy and avenge
the trickery of the pope and wrote
an imprisoned argument, de Mon
archia, for the temporal sovereignty
of the king: without monarchy there
is no unity, without unity there is
no peace, without peace there is no
civilization.
Instead Of asking pardon he wrote
to the Florentines that the emperor
would soon come down and revenge
the eXileS against the ingratitude of
their city. But the emperor did not
come.
After fifteen years OF exile he re-
ceived intimation that if he would
pay a fine and undergo the humili-
ating- ceremony of collation." at the
altar as a released prisoner, he
might be reinstated in his property
at Florence. He refused with the
pride of a poet.
Is such an invitation to return
to his country glorious to Dante
Alighieri, after suffering in exile
almost fifteen years?. Far from

Stock Exchange Rest

The stock exchange will close
Friday and Saturday, for which
everybody ought to be thankful.
The clerks and bookkeeperS need
rest, while the spectators need
time to sober up.
The former have sat up nights for
month and more in order that
the latter might have a Roman
holiday making paper fortunes.
They are not only tired, but behind
with their work.
The American stock market is
emerging from one of the longest
runs of fever it ever suffered.
Hundreds Of millionaireS have
been made since the first Of January
and thousands OF small fry will
probably go broke to pay for 1t.
Whatever one may think as to
the amount of water that has been
pumped into certain securities, mob
psychology has done most Of the
pumping.

Frankfort Times
Along about this time Of year a
strange and pernicious malady
fastens itself on many Of our
sturdiest citizens.
1t is brought ON by bright spring
days, and its major symptom is a
strong dissemination for any kind
of work.
In severe cases, this practically
incapacitates the. sufferer for use
fitness Of his regular job; where
the ailment is less strong, it
renders him reluctant to perform
such household tasks as carrying
out the ashes, washing the auto or
wagon.
There are, in addition, secondary
characteristics which are very
distressing.
Among these is a kind of de-
mentia, giving the patient de-
luSionS of youth and romance, and
followed, in rare cases, by acute
delirium, in which the sufferer

Such are the ravages Of spring

for speedy .convalescence.
We are all subject to it. For

dustry and efficiency helps. us
ward off serious consequences.

SAYS:

When young DodgSon entertained
Alice Liddell and her two sisters
with his fantastic EARNING as they
rowed up and down the Thames
siXty-five years ago, he little thought
that he was composing world-fa-
nous book, and when Alice received
the written out tales as a Christ
mas gift, she little thought that it
would bring her not only relief, but
a fortune in the lonesome, latter
years.
Much cash, coupled with the de-
sire to possess what others cannot
afford, has placed an unheard OF
value on the handwriting of great
men, the original script Of books
and other rare trifles connected
with deeds or events which have
made a lasting impression.
If some one had told Mr.. Dodgson,
who lost his real name when he be-
came famous and doomed himself
to go down in history as Lewis Car
roll, that the ninety-two sheets of
paper he wrote out and gave to a
9-year-old girl for no other reason
than that he wanted to please her
would one day bring $4,000 in cold
hard cash, the chances are that he
would have taken it as an attempt
to make fun of him.
In all his wild inaginings. he
never conceived a more preposter-
Gus story that reality has woven
around his manuscript.
The scribbling to amuse himself
and three little girls has become a
literary masterpiece; the Christmas
present turns into a fortune. and
two great nations compete for a
sheaf of papers that might have
been lost in a dozen different ways
had they not touched that peculiar
affection which goes with simple
acts Of kindness.

: THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
Poetry SaUeS Dante From Madness
Written for The Times by VIII Durant

philosophy be the SenselesS base
ness of a heart of earth that could
offer itself up, as it we're in chains.
No, this is not the way that
shall lead me back to my country.
7 will return with hasty steps, If
you or any other can open to me
a way that shall not derogate
from the fame and honor of
Dante; but if by no such way Flor
ence can be entered, then Flor
ence / shall never enter again.
What? Shall I not everywhere
enjoy the light of the sun and
stars? And may I not seek and
contemplate, in every corner of the
earth, under the canopy of heaven,
consoling and delightful truth?
The FlorentineS, instead of being
touched with this message, decreed
that wherever caught he should be
burned alive. He was not caught,
but at least spiritually he was
burned alive; he could describe hell
later because he went through every
realm of it on earth.
He passed from city to city,
hunted and friendless. time and
again near to starvation. His solace
was the memory of Beatrice; he
could think of her now with less
distraction, having been separated
so long from family and home.
Once he had written SonnetS to
her, which he had collected under
the title of Vita Nuova-the New
Life; now he found a sombre
pleasure in re-interpreting those
senSuous lyrics into allegory, identi-
flying Beatrice with Truth. and his
love for her with Philosophy, the
love of wisdom; so he conquered
his despair, and prepared the way
for the symbolism of his master
piece.
Perhaps the poem he had now
begun to write saved him from
madness and suicide. Nothing so
cleanses the drosS out of a man as
the creation of beauty or the
pursuit of truth; and if the two are
merged into one in him, as they
we're in Dante. he must be purified.
This bitter world was unbearable
except. as Nietzsche would phrase
it, to the eye that considered it as
a dramatic andesthetic spectacle;
to look at it as a scene to be pic
tured would take some of its sting
away.

Editor Times:
1 see in the Indianapolis Star, in
the editorials in regard to the I'M
employment situation, that the
Democrats are not helping them
selves or hurting Republican pros
poets by "eXaggerating unemploy-
ment" Now I have lived in Indian
apolis for quite number of years,
but have been out of job for
three months and can not get work
anywhere.
If job is advertised for one man,
there is all the way from fifty to
100 after it. I think if the right
kind of survey was taken in the
United States, they would find about
100000 idle men.
Another thing 1 would like to re-
mind the Republican party is that
the day that prohibition came in
there were 100000 men lost their
jobs. Are times any better, 1 would
like to know?
I think if they would look over
the unemployment situation in In
dianapolis they would find $4,000
idle men and families living on half
enough to eat. I received a letter
from a friend in Baltimore, Md, the
other day and he said 40 per cent of
the men were idle there and every
State in the Union is just the same.

Richmond Palladium
Irrespective of the merits Of the
case or the Righteousness of the
cause, it i'll behooves either of the
Indiana senators to accuse an Of
fetal, senator or otherwise, of any
connection with the Sinclair
scandal.
Corruption in politics is a topic
which the Indiana senators should
let alone, or, if they have any
thoughts or facts along these lines,
it would be a good policy to pass
the word on to some other sena-
tor and let him do the talking.
Senator Robinson will not get
very far with his speeches on the
naval oil leases. The Indiana
background is just a little too
sordid, sinister, and spotted with
political corruption to serve as an
inspiring setting for a senator who
wishes to expose corruption else
where or to chastise those who
might be implicated.
If Senator Robinson had been
in the forefront of the fight to
clean up Indiana's mess, he could
seak with a clear conscience and
the country might listen to him,
but having accepted employment
from d. G. Stephenson in his
balmy days and having lifted no
hand to help those whose wish to
GUST rotten politics from the state,
Senator Robinson hardly can pass
muster as a fearless reforner and
an Immaculate apostle of good
government.
The country puts little conf
dence in what he says or does, so
long as he refuses to give his sup
port to the betterment Of condi-
tions in Indiana.
