A Forward Move

Americans should have nothing but support and
commentator for Washingtons action in negotiating
a new tariff treaty with the Chinese nationalists
Press dispatches intimate that other powers, not
ably Britain and Japan, may look with cool eyes on
this move. But, after ALL it was move demanded
by simple justice. China has suffered from the in
equal treaties long enough. We be proud that
America has taken the lead in moving to make
amends.
If other powers, less willing to give up special
privileges obtained by force protest against the
American action, they should be given to under
stand that this nation is solidly behind the move
without reservations.

After the shoes had stood for four
days in the air, the boy wore them
again without any effects.
The public should again be warned
that when tan shoes are dyed black
and the source and the nature Of
the dyes are not definitely known,
the shoes should be allowed to stand
in the air for several days before
they are worn.

ut. Wayne Journal Gazette)
Ed Jackson, Governor OF Indl-
ana, was indicted and tried for a
felony-that crime being that he
had tried to bride Warren T. Mt
Cray to make criminal prostitu-
ton of his high Office when he
was in the Governors chair.
George V. Coffin, then Repub-
lican chairman of Marion County
and now a member of the Repub-
lican State committee for the Sew
enth indianapolis congressional
district, was indicted with jack
son.
So was Robert I. Marsh, jack
sons law partner. Jackson was
proved guilty, for he offered no
evidence in disproof of what the
State put in against him.
He pleaded that the statute of
limitations had run against his
crime and the court instructed the
jury to return verdict according
ly and the jury did. That let
Coffin and Marsh out.
The relations of Arthur R. Rob-
inson, now a Senator Of the
United States, with D. c. Stephen
son and the Ku-KluX Khan, have
been the ugly gossip and a dirty
scandal of the State for almost
three years.
Robinson was appointed to the
Senate by Governor Jackson to
fill the vacancy occassioned by the
death Of Senator Samuel M. Raj
ston. David Curtis Stephenson,
from his Jail cell in Noblesville,
where he was undergoing trial for
murder Of a young woman, die
tated the appointment Of Robin
son.
George V. Coffin had a hand in
that also, and Coffin was one Of
Stephenson's buddies in politics
and in the Khan. The political
affairs Of Art Robinson were de-
nounced as political malice and
splenetic gossip for time, but the
black boxes" of Stephenson were
at length procured and opened.
Robinson'S relations with Ste
phenson were proved.
John L. Duvall, bounced and
convicted mayor of Indianapolis,
was involved in the Stephenson
disclosures. He had sold out his
administration to Stephenson in
advance Of election for the Khan
support which made his election
possible.
Ralph E. Updike, Klansman,
Congressman from the Seventh
District, Stephenson pal and SER
vitor, did the same thing. A Mar
ion County grand jury advised the
public that the reason Congress-
man Updike was not indicted as
Duvall had been. was because the
statute of limitations clearly had
run against his offense.
Updike has been renominated
and is now running on the Re-
publican ticket for reelection.
Congressman Harry Rowbottom
of the Evansville district was
tarred with that stick likewise.
To know the truth one has only
to consult the records, the files
of Republican newspapers and the
speeches made in the primary
campaign Iby Republican candi-
dates for Senator and Governor
Arthur L. Gillion, Scion j. Car
ter, Thomas H. Adams and Fred
Lands.
You then learn what Repub-
licans themselves thought Of the
welter of corruption and infamy
in which the dominant group Of
the Indiana Republican party has
been and still is wallowing. These
things are down in black and
white.
The old crowd which wrought
the shame is still in the saddle. 1t
has control of the party. Its men
are at the head of the State ticket.
They will better the situation in
no respect if they get into Of
flee. 1t will be the same old
crowd and the same old dirty
thing all over again if they win.

What is the riddle Of the
Sphinx"?
Juno sent a monster named
Sphinx to ravage the territory of
Thebes. This monster had been
taught riddles by the Muses., and she
propounded one to the Thebans:
What is that which has one voice,
is four-footed, two-footed and at
last three-footed?" or, as some have
it, what animal is that which goes
on four feet in the morning, on two
at noon and on three in the eve
ning?" An oracle told the Thebans
that they would not be delivered
from the Sphinx until they had
solved her riddle. They often as
sembled to try their skill, but as
often failed, when the Sphinx al
ways carried off and devoured one
of their number: At length Oedipus
came forward and gave the correct
answer: Man, who when an infant
creeps on all fours, at manhood
stands erect on two legs and in old
age hobbies about with the aid Of
crutch."
Has a steamship ever been OPP
Grated by radio without any one be-
ing on board?
Several years ago the old battle
shin U. S. S. Iowa was fitted for ra-
dio control and used by the fleet
in target practice. The ship was
propelled by her steam driven en-
gines, fuel being fed automatically
under the boilers. No one was on
board the Iowa during the period Of
this practice. BY radio control the
ship was steered from a distance
by the control vessel and the speed
was regulated in the same manner.
Does skim milk supply the same
nutriment in the diet as whole milk?
Skim milk contains much less fat
than whole milk and is not so rich
in flavor, but it has a large or larger
proportion of protein, carbonhy-
drate, and ash. Protein is the most
costly nutriment in the average diet
and most difficult to attain in in
expensive meals, but skim milk sup
plies it in a cheap and useful form.
Skim milk, therefore, may greatly
increase the nutritive value of the
diet if freely used in cooking or as
a beverage in case the supply Of
whole milk is limited.

RURAL RATS PROVE

HAMILTON, N. Y. (P).-"City" rats
and country" rats are being raised 1t
Colgate University. and the city" rats
are developing nervousness.
The effect of noise on health and &C
tivity is what DR.. Donald Laird. head
of the psychology department of the
university. wants to discover All the
rats are free from moleStation by cats
and the consequent nervous strain.
BY exposing the rats to varying con-
ditons of sound. or lack of sound, DR.
Laird hopes to determine definitely the
effect of noise on human beings.
Rats are used in the experiments be-
cause, Dr. Laird explains, they live 80
times as fast as men and in one year
their growth parallels the growth and
development of human being in 80
years. The rats in this experiment are
white.
The country cousins" are kept in a
sound-proof room while the city" rats
are housed in a room containing tun~
ing fork operated by electricity. The
tuning fork Is said to produce sounds
approximating the noise of busy city
Food containers and food are the

in feeding may not account for any
differences which develop in the natui 2
of the two groups. The hearth of thu
rats Is carefully guarded. Both groups
are given an ultraviolet ray bath once
a week to prevent ricketts,.
The rats have been under observation
for eight months and DR.. Laird reports
that the city rats. exposed to noise.
have shown signs of nervousness and
loss of appetite.

General Motors, selling at 224 made

Optimism Toward Oils.
Optimism toward the oils was in
creased by the publication of the quar-
terly reports of Marland and of

Election Statistics

Frank sullivan. New York writer. after 4 careful
review Of the political situation III the as states. has
presented The most comprehensive forecast on the gen
eral election that has been submitted 70 the American
public. Mr. Sullivan admits that political conditions
are decidedly chaotic. but predicts the election Of
Smith, presenting the following reasons therefor:
Roughly speaking. there are 25.O0o,O0O voters in
the republic. OF this number 100000 are married.
Now the 100000 wives in this group will tell their
100000 husbands how to vote. which will cause the
husbands "a get out and vote the opposite way. Like
wise the husbands will ten their wives how 70 vote.
with the same result. ~ the net result will bc that ul
the wives will be voting opposite - ll their husbands.
which will automatically cancel those 100000 votes
unless someone has committed hiramy.
I've therefore have only 100000 votes to consider.
"Will Becbe. the naturalist. win vote for Smith on
account Of the New York governors ZOO, SO that we
now have only ~1i,999,s99 votes to consider.
These votes are mostly those Of republicans OF
democrats. Now. unless the elections q Harding and
Coolidge we're just 4 couple n terrible nightmares, the
republicans have had 4 majority IN the national cleo
tions during thc eight years. Correct us IL we are
wrong.
"Of The republicans. III. Nicholas Murray Butler ha,
shown signs Of voting for Smith. but those other re-
publcans. tic Mc-srs. Harry D~augherty. Albert B. rail
and Harry Sinclair will vote the straight republican
ticket rs always. Strairh. or crooked, they always
vote the ticket,
"On the other hand, Mrs. Glenn shaver, wife of the
former chairman n the democratic national committee,
will vote for Hoover. m other word. there are no
party lines this year.
LET us therefore assume that al tie republicans
will vote or Smith ana Nd the democrats FOR Hoover,
except in the solid south. which will remain democratic.
In that case. assuming that The republicans gen
orally get what thcy want in national elections. ws
may safely predict that Smith will win by twice as
many votes as Cox and Davis lost by. divided by three
and reduced to the last common multiple
