Ludlow. of Course

1t is inconceivabe that there should be any hest
tation on the part of any citizen, Republican or
Democrat in voting for Louis Ludlow for Congress
from this district.
Congressman Updike is the product of Stephenson
ism. Out of the Black Boxes the written cen
tract he gave the life promising to relay to
the President the demands of Stephenson for patron
age The grand jury amented the fact that the stat
ute of limitations prevented indictment for this
gross violation OF not only law but decency.
Updike is the protege of Boss Coffin He depends
upon Coffin for his election.
Ludlow with many years experience at Washing
ton as correspondent, would give dignity to the In
dianapolis district. 1t is significant that Repub-
1can orator newspaper has dared to ask for votes
for Updke If he wins it will be by indifference and
neglect OF the voters to cast ballot for the good
name of the city.
Ludlow is all that a congressman should be. Up

Voteless Washington
Hoover.

More than 100000 American citizens tomorrow
will go to the polls to vote for President and other
officials who will conduct the government at Wash
ngton but u who live in the capital city itself
will not be amons those voting.
Aside from their interest in the next President
Washington taxpayers interested particularly in
the personnel of the next congress- because congress-
it happens, also is the city council for Washington
1t is strange situation which prevails in Wash
ngton Here are a people who live in the shadows
of the White House and the capitol They probably
know more about the government per capita, than
any similar group of people in the United States.
but they have no voice in that government
They merely the wards of the government
they live in the federal district" and prohibited
exercising the most precious right of citizenship
They the only persons in the United States who
truth experience taxation without representation"
Regardless of who is elected, it is hoped that
the next President and the next congress will take
steps to remedy this situation

Al the Issue

1t is idle to claim that Governor
Smiths nomination was without
effect, but it was his nomination,
rot what he has said since.
When the Houston convention adj
journed, the Democratic party had
laid its one and only trump on the
table The people did not have to
be told what that trump was, or
whether they liked it. Subsequent
activities have been by way Of con-
matchmaking else.
Governor Smith, because Of his
political antecedents and associa-
tions, because of his views on pro-
hibition and because of the fact
that he is the first Roman Catholic
ever to be nominated by either of
the two great parties, was and is the
outstanding issue. The Democrats
used this when they put him up,
and so did the Republicans. He
was accepted by southern and
western drys, not because they had
changed their minds on Volstead-
ism. but because they hoped he
could carry enough eastern states
to win the election. 1t was a clear
case of partisan expediency, and
that is what it remains to this day.

If the surgeons of the day correct decom-
position should have set in. But decomposition
took place.
1t was about 1867 when Lister performed this ex-
pertinent.
In 1869 Lister went to Edinburgh and here he per-
fected his methods of antiseptc surgery.
He first employed carbolic acid antiseptc,
but later found it desirable to develop dilute solutions
He also instituted a method of having the air
continuously sprayed with weak solution of carbolic
acid while operation was in progress.
Later he abandoned this, experiments having dem
onstrated that the microbes which might be in the
air could be disregarded long Instruments dress
ings and \ were properly sterilized.
British surgeons were slow to adopt Listers
methods
They found their first acceptance in Germany
and when Lister visited Munich and Leipzig in 1875
he was given tremendous ovations
The French surgeons followed the Germans in the
adoption OF his methods.
Not much attention paid to Listers work in
the United States until 1876 when Lister paid visit

Medicine Studies Inherited Headache

1t has been urged that women
suffer more from such headaches
than do men, and that in addition
to having some relationship to body
structure, they might be associated
with sensitivity to certain sub
stances in the diet.
More recent Investigations have
indicated that men and women are
afflicted in about equal numbers,
and that laborers suffer just about
as often as DO brain workers.
A study just completed by w.
Allan involved numerous families in
which such headaches occurred in
a considerable number of the mem
bers.
For instance, in Sc families In
which both parents had headaches
of this type. and in which there
were 3l8 children, 24O of the chill
dren had similar headaches, 40 did
not. and the remainder included
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-11-05

children so young that it was i'm
possible to determine.
In 141 families in which one par
ent had such headaches and one
did not, in which there were $50
children, 342 had headaches and 217
did not.
In 90 families in which neither Of
the parents had migraine and which
contained 485 children, 18 of the
children had migraine.
Thus where both parents have
headaches, 1873 per cent of the
children we're afflicted; where one
parent has headaches, 81 per cent
were afflicted, and where neither
parent had headaches, 18 per cent
were afflicted.
Dr.. Allan. is convinced that the
evidence resulting from his expert
mentS indicates that headaches of
the nIjgraine type are inherited and
that it is correlated with Mendelian
character.

Actions Speak LoudeSt

The same intelligence that quail
fies the people of this country to
elect Sheir officials enables them to
understand whether they prefer the
old ones. or what new ones, after
they have lived with an admins
tration four years. If they have
not become dissatisfied with that
administration on their own ac-
count, and through their on expe-
rience, stump speaking won't make
them dissatisfied BY the same
token, if they have become dissatis-
fed it won't make them satisfied.
In politics as in most other things,
people are guided by what men do,
rather than what they soy. More
than that. people reserve the right
to think for themselves. and often
exercise it before politicians get
around to telling them what they
ought to think.
Generally speaking, a change of
administration in this country is
foreshadowed by one or two years.
That was the case in 1912 and in
1920.

The People Know

Nine-tenths of the people in this
country can read and write. They
buy 100000 newspapers every day.
Besides that, they buy an incalcu-
liable number of books. Besides that.
they get an incalculable number of
speeches and pamphlets from their
congressman. Besides that, proba-
bly, one-half of them have access
to radio sets.
Under such circumstances, it
seems fair to assume that the peo-
pie are pretty we'll acquainted with
what goes on, that while they do
not always got into details, they
keep in sufficiently close touch with
an administration to know whether
they want any more of it. Profess
sional politicians, however, won't adj
NIT anything of the kind. Accord
ing to their idea, the public never
does, and never could make up its
mind intelligently, without their
valuable services on the stump.

Governor Smith,"
SAYS:

COVERNOR SMITH feels hurt.
~ Hoover has refused to row
with him. He cannot understand
it. What are campaigns for if not
argument, and who should do the
arguing if not the candidates.
William Jennings Bryan fe.c the
same back IN 90. From June to
November he made the country ring
with howls for debate, but to no
purpose. Major Mckinley simply
would not bulge from that front
porch.
Like Governor Smith, Bryan re-
garded debate as the essence OF poll
tics, as the only excuse for cam
paigns, as the exclusive channel fol
information. Governor Smith, when
he found he could not get his op-
ponent into the ring, put on a Splen-
did one-man exhibition Of shadow
boxing.
Bryan lost, and so will Governor
Smith. What's the answerP If
arguing counts for so much, why
don't the arguers win?

Campaign Wasted Effort

Right after his appointment as
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee. John j. Raskob
made the prediction that Governor
Smith would get 377 electoral votes.
Now he places the number at 400.
According to his own estimates,
there has not been much of
change, and what change there has
been was not at all necessary.
While I can not agree with
Raskob in either of his forecasts,
I do agree with their implication
that no considerable change has
taken place.
This election has not been won
or lost by the campaign. For every
mind that has been changed, 100
we're made up beyond change right
after the conventions. The result
will be little different from what
it would have been had the vote
been taken last July.

RETIRING PREMIER,
VOICES DISGUST WITH DIET
Polish Marshal Also CritiCizeS
Requirements of Office in
Public Statement.
SAYS He Will Continue Active
Interest in Affairs of
Nation.

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, July 3.--Disgust with the
constitutional requirements of the
premiership and with the quality OF
the Polish Diet led Marshal Joseph
Pilsudski to give up his place as prime
minister, he said in public statement
published here yesterday. 1t was the
first such statement from the dictator
since 1926.
Marshal Pilsudski let it be known
plainly that he had no intention OF
dropping out of the government en-
tirely. In addition to the duties of min
lister of war, which he retains, he said
he would continue to direct Poland's
foreign affairs. He stands ready to re-
sumo the hated premiership If circum-
stances demand.
The marshal, in characteristically
forceful language, criticized the ma
tionaI legislature numerically. One OF
the great drawbacks of the premier
ship, he said, was that the conStitu-
ton required the prime minister to
cooperate with the Diet
He regretted that the first constitu-
tional Diet had not been diSbanded II
that had been done the necessity for
the coup of May IL, 1926, would not
have existed. (This was the stroke by
which Marshal Pilsudski overturned
the government and took over the reins
of power.)
His description of subsequent Diets
was no more favorable and he COM
pared the entire legislative system to
the unproductive work of convicts set
to the task of pumping air into the
atmosphere II was disgust at having
to cooperate with mere "wind-pump-
ers" that led him to give up the post
of prime minister.
Another aspect of the premiership
which drew fire from the dictator was
