Money in Justice

1t is not the cop on the corner
who let's the speakeasy remain open,
or the dry agent who gets $3.50 a
month, OK the village constable, or
the deputy sheriff. 1t is the big boy
higher up. The political boss, the
chap who has it within his power
to take little mems jobs away, and
who is interfering with the natural
processes Of law, because of the
profit it means.
The sizzle Of little fish, the police
court parade, the conviction of men
for selling a quart or two, the
smashing of 50-gallon stills, the dis
charge Of coast guardsmen for let
ting case Of gin go by and all the
rest we have been doing amounts to
no more than tinkering with the
real question; the smokescreen be-
hind which the giants of the boot
Logging industry operate in compar-
alive safety.
We are up against the same prop
osition with regard to prohibition
that we are with regard to most
other laws, and that is the manifest
difficulty Of convicting millionaires
in the United States Of America.
Money has crept into our system
Of justice, exactly as it has crept
into our politics. The man with a
bank roll is too doggone safe, no
matter what he does.

The DALEY Crusade

The speech of Frank Daley before gath
ering of Democrats is mistakenly called the
opening of his campaign for the governorship.
As a matter Of truth and fact, it was the for
NAL expression Of the crusade of Indiana to re-
deem its reputation and get back to basis Of
common decency and honesty in politics.
The Republican party declared months ago
for "new DEAL but at the end of its conven-
ton found itself still dominated and guided by
the same forces which produced jackson to
later plead the statute of limitations to save
his liberty.
The nominee Of the convention was not the
choice of even an important minority Of the
Republican voters in the primary. They di-
vided their votes rather generously between
four other candidates before they discovered
the name of Leslie. He was fifth and poor
fifth, in the race.
Nearly 100000 men and women voted for
Tom Adams and Fred Lands, who had de-
nounced corruption of the past few years. Les
lie secured scarcely fifth of this number of
votes.
But the convention where the old hooded
order was at work, where Boss Coffin had his
henchmen and where COLLINS and dragons ran
around the aisles in full freedom and with much
power, it was Leslie who secured the nomina-
ton.
The people have understood the heavy cost
in pride and dollars that comes from surrender
to these forces.
The Republican party is still in the hands of
the kidnapers of other years, so that there is
really no party contest for the governorship.
On the one hand is Leslie, the legatee of
all that has shamed Indiana.
Against him is Frank Daley, who happens
to bear the label IF Democrat, but whose record
as foe of corruption, as an outstanding and
decent citizen makes him the representative
of law, order and decency.
It is not campaign which Daley wages,
but crusade for Indiana.

Radio Regulation

The Radio Commission seems to be proceeding with
care and wisdom in formulating the policies that will
govern it in determining what constitutes freedom of
speech on the air.
The commission has just placed on probation four
broadcasting stations in Pennsylvania and in doing
has taken occasion to outline its views on how far
stations may go in unbrdled use Of the ether.
The stations, according to the commission. have
been engaging in personal quarrels, and have been
abusing each other. They will be given an opportu-
nifty to demonstrate that they can make a better
showing.
During hearings the commission was accused OF
interfering with the constitutional guarantee OF free
dom of speech and usurping the functions of censor
The commission replied that "the history OF the
Gree speech) guaranty shows that 1t was the out
growth of long struggle for the right Of free ex-
preston on matters Of public interest"
1.-TWO neighbors may engage in any verbal dispute
they please in their back yards where no one Is
in hearing distance" said the commission Let them
try to conduct the same dispute in public place,
such as on busy street in theater and they will
soon find that they not protected by the Constu-
tion The rights Of the public to be free from dis
turbances of this sort superior to those Of the
Individual"
The individual is powerless to prevent ether waves
bearing annoying messages from entering the walls
of his home, the commission pointed out This para
graph defines general policy:
wherever the evidence is shown that particular
station is serving as mouthpece for substantial
political or religious minority, the commission has
taken action favorable to the station"
The commissj adds that it will proceed with eau
ton on border line" cases where it is commended
freedom of speech is involved and will be disposed to
give the benefit of any doubt toward persons making
the contention.

Seven Accidents a Month

New England motorst the other day wrote to
the newspapers raising howl because liability
insurance company cancelled an accident and liability
policy on his automobile 1t developed that this man
had been involved in seven automobile accidents in
one month, and the insurance firm quite naturally,
decided that he was too big risk
He really ought not to protest. Massachusetts,
in which State he lives has strict drivers license
law and its officials are apt to decide that
who has seven accidents month ought to lose his
license.
If they do they're quite right. We don't know a
thing about these accidents; but mere bad luck
couldn't account for all seven. man who gets in
that many smashups ought not to be allowed to drive
at all. He is a menace every other motorist and
pedestrian in his vicinity.

the human body had been forbidden religious
grounds except for an occasional short interval in
some particular city
At Salernum, for example it had been decreed that
there should be dissection every five years but
when the time came it always difficult to obtain
the necessary permission
At Bologna, during the professorship of Mundinus,
dissectons became frequent the bodies of executed
criminals being used for the purpose.
Incidentally the first record of Snatchng goes
back to this period In 1915 legal action brought
against four students at Bologna
Mundinus published treatise on anatmoy which
remained the standard one for 200 years.
1t was issued in 1916 in manuscript form and many
copies were made. 1t was first printed in 1873 and
many subsequent editions were issued in the next
two centuries
Women were admitted to the medical school at
both Salernum and Bologna.
Mundinus had young girl as assistant, Ales-
5andra Gilian She is credited with having devel-
oped the practice of injecting colored liquids into
the blood vessels to make their paths apparent
The tomb of Mundinus is still to be seen in the
Church of Sen Vitale at Bologna.

Machine Crooks

There has obviously developed a
Nationwide combine of crooks,
which terrorizes particular commu-
mites through the employment OF
criminals and maintains lines of
transport and commu nication
through the expenditure of vast
sums Of money.
No one with intelligence can re-
view the Mellett murder, the Chi
cago gang wars, the trial of Pitts
burgh policemen now going on, the
latest revelations in Philadelphia,
not to mention a dozen other scan
dals, without realizing that back of
the hip-pocket peddler. there turks
the shadow of a sinister machine
which represents Doodle to the nth
power.

Defiance of Thugs

Strong language, but hardly too
strong, considering what has been
unearthed thus far.
When it comes to wholesale bril-
berry, however, to the corruption Of
police forces, to gang wars that
defy constituted authority and make
life unsafe, to the presence Of a
conspiracy which seek to undermine
law and order with cash on the one
hand and machine guns on the
other, there can be no debate.
Desirable as modification may be,
it must not be brought about
through fear of hired hoodlumism.
No matter what mistakes we may
have made, we can not afford to
have our statutes ripped up and
our Constitution torn to pieces by
a bunch of thugs and highbinders.

Fear Money in Court

We cuss rich men more than any
other people on earth. We have
made a million dollars virtually
equal to exclusion from public Of
fee. Ownership of stock in a big
corporation, much less a trust, is
accepted as justifying all kinds Of
SANDER and abuse.
When it comes to real crime, how
ever, the man with the dough gets
by. Our lip music does not square
with the dance. We talk too much
to mean it. Perfectly willing to
slam successful men in the news
papers, we WEIGH when they come
into court. If we dispensed with the
gas, we might have energy enough
to do something.

State Housing Help

Although the conservatives are pretty firmly in
control of things in France, they not afraid Of
such words as radical" "socialistic"-not all the
time, anyway
The French chamber of deputies just has voted to
extend government credits for the construction of
100000 houses to help relieve the housing shortage.
The total cost will be between 12000000000 and 49,
0O0O00Oo0 francs.
Undoubtedly this business of state aid for hous-
ing project looks rather sociastic Yet France has
been beset ever since the war; by housing shortage.
Something had to be done. The government proved
that it was not afraid of labels when it adopted this
remedy

A Professor's ODD haste

The postmaster at Detroit reports that among the
applications he has received fol- jobs as letter carriers
is from college professor who wants to carry let
tiers after spending nearly dozen years teacher.
There's hard one to figure out We often hear
that many college professors sadly underpaid; yet
that surely not explain this case because letter
carriers also are paid even more poorly.
What's the answer? It's hard to tell; unless per-
haps, the professor agrees with the writer OF Ec-
clesiastes that much study is WEAKNESS OF the
flesh" and wants spend the rest of his life exercis
ing his legs and resting his brain.

Political Economy

Some of the best books on political economy seem
to be due for revision.
One of the time-honored principles" has been
that stocks go down when credit is made and
expensive. But the New York Stock Market is pay
ing no attention to this principle. 1t isn't yielding
to the pressure of frightened credit the part Of
the Federal Reserve System. Instead it leaps along
to new high records.
Another long accepted belief has been that cam
paign year has depressing effect business. This
year is seeing that idea knocked into cooked hat.
And, finally, it generally has been agreed that a
steady declining price level prevents large business
profits. But American industry has demonstrated
clearly in the last few years that by eliminating waste
and cutting costs it is possible to make large profits
while prices falling

Lebanon RepOrter)

Indiana has witnessed a series
of important utility mergers dur
ing recent years and there will be
further mergers and consolida-
lions before the power situation
in this State settles down.
From the standpoint Of opera
ton and management mergers
promote business efficiency.
Just what benefit the public de-
rives from these consultations is
not alv avs clear.
Unless there is some advantage
to the pubEc-to the customers
who pay for utility service-the
mergers are not justified.
In considering the various pc
titions that come before it in con-
nection with utility mergers the
members of the public service
commission should make certain
that at least part of the benefit
that obtains from these mergers
is passed on to the public in the
form of better service or lower
rates.

XXTE ALL realize that the old pol
w icy Of not going to a dentist
unless the teeth hurt is a penny
wise pound foolish" policy.
Continuing his series Of dental
superstitions in Hygeia, the Health
Magazine, DR.. w. M. Gardner points
out that an aching tooth usually
means that the decay has penetrat-
ed far into the tooth and that the
acid formed by the development Of
bacteria is irritating the nerve.
The only way to help such a tooth
Is to kill the nerve and fill it, a
procedure now under considerable
doubt, or to remove the tooth and
put in substitute.
No substitute was ever as good
as the original article. Regular
trips to the dentist permit the dis
covery of cavities while they are
still small, and the use of tiny fill

the tooth is we'll or the situation
perfect. In many instances alb
scesses develop at the roots of the
teeth.
From these assesses the bacteria
are carried by the blood stream to
other parts Of the body and they
set up infections in joints, in the
heart, in the brain, in the glands
or in the kidneys.
The secondary complications are
far worse than the abscess at the
root Of the tooth. The assesses
at the roots of the teeth are usually
located by the use of the X-ray.
Sometimes large abscess cavity
may be relatively harmless, and a
small one quite dangerous. This
depends on the nature of the germs
that make up the abscess. Some
germs are more virulent than
others.
