The Whisperers

Decent-minded partisans of both Hoover and
Smith will applaud the vigorous statement of DR. HUI
bert Work chairman of the Republican national COM
lnittee condemning the whispering campaigns now
under full steam in some parts of the country
Each candidate, DR.. Work says, is being made
Che victim of SANDER The attacks of character
that almost preclude any answer by their victims
They are made by men and women who whisper be-
hind their hands or who find, in some mysterious
manner the funds to spread their false insinuaons
in irresponsible publications. Their appeal is aimed
at the simpe-minded and creduous voters OF both
eexes.
There may be no law to prevent their ISSUE said
DR. Work "but they are an ofense to common decency
and eyerv true American should and will resent such
tactics.
IT wish to denounce these and similar utterances
and statements that may have appeared or that sub
eeuuenty may appear from whatever source, and IT.
respective of which candidate they attempt to malgn
81 can not be too emphatic in saying that no per-
sona attacks have made either with the sanction
pr authority or knowledge of the Republican national
committee Once and for all, I denounce all such
activities as vicious and beyond the pale of decent
political campaigning"
That DR.. Work voices the views of his candidate
goes without saying Herbert Hoover is gentleman
and no gentleman-or lady, for that matter-s par
sicpating in this scurrilous form of campaigning.

Adventure to Service

In the beginning, aviation de-
pended on those who took their lives
in their hands to demonstrate that
flying was possible. The dare devi;
spirit was necessary to discover what
the airplane could do, and where its
weakness lay. That phase of the in
dustry has been completed. The
problem now is to make flying of
commercial use.
The time has come for the en-
gineer, scientist and man of capital
to pool their efforts and lift the in
duStry from the level of an adven-
ture to that of organized achieve
ment.
In this connection it is interesting
to note how much has been accom-
plished through the establishment
of schools and laboratories where
systematic work can be done.
The Daniel Guggenheim School of
Aeronautics at the California Insti
tue of Technology has perfected an
airplane which seems to eliminate
the danger of stalling, and which is
being demonstrated at the Los An
geleS air carnival.
BY a shortened tail, new wing ar
rangement and other Innovations
this plane has been so constructed
that it will glide to the ground in a
horizontal position if the engine fails
to function.

''The Racket"

If you were running grocery store IN In
dianapolis and man ordered you to pay him
$50 week or have your store blown up, what
would you do2
You probably would put the police on his
trail And in all likelihood the man would be
jailed.
But suppose you were grocer IN Chicago,
and the same demand were made. If you
called in the police they probably would catch
nobody, you would find your store wrecked
some morning and your life would not be safe.
That is Chicago sequel to the dictatorship
of ward heelers, to the alliance of police and
outlaw. And, as James P. Kirby points out in
his series of articles on ''the racket" starting
today in The Times, this big-time blackhand
is spreading to other cities of the NIiddlewest.
That it has also reached into the East is indi-
Gated by the past weeks disclosures in Phila-
delphia.
The whole Chicago picture seems at this
comfortable distance too fantastic to be real.
The idea of a $5O,0O0OOO industry, whose sole
product is protection against it's own violence,
is absurd but it is fact.
And indianapolis must be on guard against
contagion.

TINE solicitude shown by our
n sheriffS to protect bandits from
mobs has to be, but it's very aggra-
waiting to the hairy ancestors who
drift up and down our blood, and it
reminds us of a lynching which
gave a northern Indiana community
more peace than all its orderly con-
yictionS.
Amer Green had terrorized his
neighbors for years, witnesses being
afraid to testify against him, but 1t
was the last straw when he was
charged with having murdered a
young woman.
He appeared for trial, completely
surrounded by technical experts,
their arms full of red tape, and the
people, foreseeing the usual farce,
took Green out and lynched him.
And he hasn't bothered that COM
munity any since he was lynched!

The papers make too much fuss
about the millionaireS now galivant-
ing from one party to the other, for
the captain of industry is only
private, like the rest Of us, when ne
gets into the voting booth.
And the millionaire doesn't take
many people with him.
We would much rather have the
support of one popular barber.

suit of blocking of the tube that
passes from the ear to the throat

This tube sometimes becomes
blocked when one has a cold, hence
the feeling of pressure and fullness
in the ears.

Reason

MANY political careers are due
IVl to accident, pure and simple
for instance that of Charles E.
Hughes.
Had it not been for the insurance
investigations in New York in 1902,
the outstanding character of the
Republican party never might have
entered public life.
All of which means that there
are countless leaders who never step
upon the$public stage.
We are going to have more lynch
ings in the midwest before long
unless we end the license Of our pro-
fessional accessories -the-fact,
our criminal lawyers who with their
mobs of absurd technicalitieS lynch
justice day after day.
We are going to hear the bells
ring at night, dear brothers and sis
tiers, unless we simplify criminal
procedure, make the judge master Of
his court instead of the feeble ref
cree of fine points" he now is, and
make trials swift and surel

Graveyard Monday

Monday used to be known as
"Washday," but if present tendencies
continue, we may have to call 1t
graveyard day."
The Sabbath, originally designed
for rest, as we are told, has come
to look like nothing so much as a
red streak across the landscape.
Joy rides, trips to the country,
weekend outings and exhibition
stunts not only leave terrific toll,
but seem to have bred a general
disposition to raise cain.
Last Sunday not only brought its
usual list of automobile and air
plane fatalities but three jail breaks
in which eight people were killed
and eight more seriously wounded.
AS fitting climax, an automobile
jumped the track at the Italian
races, landing in the grand stand
and mangling some fifty people,
nineteen of whom already have
died.
Church seems a rather safe place
to be on Sunday.

Power Propaganda and the Schools
contagion.

The Federal trade commission, which will resume
it's power propaganda inquiry in a few days already
has disclosed many bad spots in the educational sys
tenn of the country.
1t has found professors in the pay of power inter-
ests, acting in the guise of independent investga-
TORS it has disclosed tampering with school text
books to promote the views of private interests
it has revealed the planting Of text books by private
power interests in the public schools
1t certainly would seem that if the educational
leaders of the country respect their positions they
would organize a militant movement to boot the
power propagandists out of the schols bag and bag
gage.
So far as can be learned however, the trade COM
missions revelations have had no such effect
When the universities swing into action in few
weeks, all the power company sycophantS, disclosed
by the commission as having betrayed their oblga-
lions to honest education apparently will be on the
job
Although the National Education Association met
two months ago and passed resolution authorizing
its president to appoint a committee of ten to see
what could be done to combat propaganda in the
schools, the fall term apparently will get under way
with the committee still unappointed
Can 1t be that We have reached pass where the
educational leaders of the country are so tmid that
they shrink from an encounter with formidable
group of commercial interests?
Or, worse than that, have they become so dulled
by commercalism that they insenSble to the in
suits which have been heaped upon honest education
by the power propagandsts?
These possibilities may be far wide OF the mark
in explaining the compacency with which the educa-
tonal system of the country has accepted the trade
commissions disclosures.
An explanation complimentary to our edu-
cational learders would be welcome.

| Lesson in LONGEVITY

Believe it or not, but there comes
the report from Paris that Tadija
MouStasitch, a Herzevornian peas
ant, just has celebrated his 155th
birthday.
If true, this is one instance of
longevity that cannot be credited
to the safeguards of science. By
no stretch of the imagination can
one suppose that Tadija Moustasitch
owes his heightened years to bath
tubs and high-class cuisine, much
less to the advice Of highly paid
specialists.
Like old Parr, who is said to have
lived to be 152 and to have died
from overeating while on trip to
London in honor of his antiquity,
and like old jenkins, who attained
1913, this Balkan prodigy appears to
have dwelt immune from those i'm
provements and innovations which
are supposed to have extended the
Biblical allotment of "three score
and ten" He is said to have done
no regular work for eighty-five years
and to have lost his teeth so long
ago that he does not remember hav-
ing had any.
Long life is one Of the things we
brag about as proving the advan-
tages of civilization, but a Roman
census taken in rs A. D. reveals
about the same percentage of CEN
tenarians as that of Massachusetts,

Air Safety Next

Sundays airplane casualty list
was exceptionally large, nine being
killed and seven injured in the
United States.
1t seems as though aviation had
reached a point where we should
be deyoting more attention to the
perfection of machines and less to
performing stunts in them. The
hope of this latest and greatest VEN
ture consists in making it as safe as
is humanity possible. It's challenge is
no longer to reckless courage, but
to ingenuity.
Men have proved that they are
brave enough to take all kinds of
chances in the air. 1t now remains
for them to prove whether they
have brains enough to make flying
of practical value to ordinary folks.

feeling and know how to overcome
it by swallowing or blowing with
the mouth shut.
The most serious symptoms that
occur develop when the men leave
the compressed air atmosphere and
go out.
The condition is known among
the workmen as bends" 1t in
wolves collapse, weakness and even
paralysis Of the legs, and general
pain.
Modern investigations lead to the
conclusion that the symptoms are
due to the fact that the man under
pressure gets too much nitrogen
dissolved into his blood and that
when he comes out into the ordi-
nary air the nitrogen separates off
too rapidly, the bubbles developing
in the circulation as does carbon
dioxide in soda water.
Relief is obtained by putting the
man back under high pressure and
then bringing him back into low
pressure by slow stages of decom-
preston.

land in 1473.
He was educated at the Universities of Cracow and
Bologna, devoting much of his time to the study OF
mathematics.
In 1901, he entered the medical school at Padua
Later he became the canon of Frauenburg but he
seems to have devoted much of his time to the prac-
tice of medicine.
Copernicus revived the idea which had been held
by some of the early Greeks but which had fallen
into dsfavor. This was the theory that the sun
was the center of the solar system and that the earth
revolved around the sun.
The arguments for this theory were so skillfully
marshaed by Copernicus in his great work. DE Revo-
lutionibus Orbium Coelestium'' that the old Ptole-
maic theory was dealt its death blow.
AS a result, the theory has since been known as
the Copernican theory.
Copernicus was already on his deathbed when his
book came from the presses. Consequently, he was
spared the knowledge of the way his work was re-
ceived by those in authority.
But Copernicus had made the beginning Bruno
was burnt at the stake and Calico was made to re-
cant his belief in the Coperncan theory, but the
theory triumphed eventually.
It is hard for us to realize today what change
the Copernican theory made in habits of thought
Until then the earth had been regarded as the
center of the universe
Suddenly it became just one Of number Of
planets revolving around central sun.

Gang Growth

Before the people Of this or any other city
point with horror to Philadelphia or Chicago,
they might take look and discover that gang
government and gang operation exist, minus
some of the machine gun play, right under their
own noses.
1t is interesting to watch the earnest mayor
Of Philadelphia in his efforts to curb crime.
He seriously asks the good and respectable peo-
pie to stop drinking until he can catch the
gansters and the gun men.
That method Of making prohibition effective
should win him the Durant prize.
AS long as the respectable portion of the
community continues to buy and drink the al
cohol made in Chicago or the whisky imported
with ease from Canada there will be gangsters
and gun men,
This city has had it's first open exhibition
when gangster was killed at Clinton Slowly
the facts are coming to light and suggests that
the passage Of the Wright law did not exactly
change Indiana to a desert.
This gangster, who went the way of gang
law and gang retrbution, it is now learned
authoritatively, was not in Indiana to peddle
booze, but to arrange for the distribution of CO.
caine heroin and other drugs, a business as
highly organized as that Of selling booze.
He just happened to get in with the wrong
gang Of booze peddlers and was killed as he
sat on the front porch Of the home of a friend.
His death brought out the fact that the
booze business in Indiana is now so valuable
as to be choice prize for competing gangs and
two of them were operating, endeavoring to put
each other out Of the field by some very print
tive methods.
Within the past few weeks, so the word
comes, several truck loads, each carrying 500
gallons of alcohol, were stolen from the lndi-
annapolis gang by the Terre Haute gang as the
trucks were being driven to this city from
Danville.
That furnishes some clew to the amount
of business that is being done and the reason it
is necessary for speakers on the radio to warn
pedestrians against the dangers Of drunken
drivers, as was forcibly and wisely done last
week by one of Governor JacksOn's appolntees
The point is that the gangs are here. They
operate They bring in alcohol and BOOZE
They have organized into protective associa-
lions that use machine guns as arguments
against any accidental government interior
ence and to keep down competition.
The mayor of Philadelphia apparently has
ehe answer. He asks people to stop buying
booze. Until they do the patrons have little to
kick about if they listen to the rattle of
machine gun in front Of their homes as the
organized purveyors of their alcohol fight out
kheir business troubles with bullets.

Editor Times-I note that Mr..
Durant is offering prize of $4,000
for a bone dry law. We have such
a law now on our statute book. Why
not enforce it!
Such a law cannot be enforced
under our present capitalistic sys-
tenn because there is too much profit
in the traffic. If you could by any
chance take the profit out Of the
traffic, you could do away with the
incentive to handle the stuff. This
could be done by enacting a law to
demonetize the medium of exchange,
as money as we have it now is the
goal of our ambition. No matter
what the modus operandi is.
But you say that such a method
would be too drastic? 1t would not
be any more drastic than doing
away with chattel slavery was dras-
tic, nor the change from feudaliSm
to our present system was drastic.
We have had prohibition now for
