increase in enthusiasm as the program
progressed. eliminating Ill prolonged

1t was a varied and Interestingly bal

lists were Richard Burgm and julius
Theodorowicz. NlolinlSts. Jean Lelranc,
viola PLAYER, and Jean Bcdetti, violon-

solo passages never stepped obtruSiNely
from the ensemble, and always these
passages were read With feeling Tor the

whole string choir 1t was charming
work to hear, with a particularly gay
presto and an equally solemn largo. The

The mystically fascinating prelude to
Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrm

The Subject of "Tainted Money"

Senator Borah has confronted the republic with
another pestterous and vexatious problem and that
IS what to do with tainted money once political
organization is frisked and caught with the goods
That bundle of bonds the grateful Harry Sinclair
handed ever to the very receptive Will Hays which con-
veniently was transformed into cash money isn't the
only tainted money being dangled before the public
eye For instance, there is that 100000 wad the
great hve-and-ten moral crusader handed to the
highly moral Anti-Saloon League.
If handing back to Sinclair clean money for soiled
will purify the Republican national committee then
by the same reasoning the Anti Saloon League could
purify itself and preserve its sanctity by collecting
from good prohibitionists, whose morals never got
tangled up in divorce case 100000 perfectly moral
money and handing it back to Kresge.
OF course it must be admitted that there is some
difference between Sinclair bonds and Kresge money,
and when one begins to get morality and politics
mixed he is apt find himself in a mystic maze.
Sinclair didn't give money to party committee for
the purpose OF making Republicans moral or to raise
the standard OF civic virtue in the land On the con-
trary, he invested it like shrewd business man. or
planted it like farmer plants seed.
But no matter what Kresge's personal outlook on
the sanctity of the marriage vow might have BEEN his
purpose in giving half million to the Anti-Salo
League was to make other people moral righteous and
good.
Most OF us are that way. We get vicarous thrill
Or kick out of reforming other people and making them
be good in the way we think they ought to be good
and if we can keep busy enough making others be
good, we don't have time to waste being good our
selves And il we begin hunting down the source Of
all money spent tor dubious purposes it is apt to have
a sad effect on the circulation.
Senator Borah may succeed in raising 100000 for
Sinclair but it's cnch Kresge won't get his 100000
back. The Anti-Saloon League needs the money for
righteous purposes and Sinclair has so much already
that he doesn't need Borahs 100000 at all.
In childhood days some parents put soap on the
tongue of children who told lies and slapped the hand
of the child that stole cookies or jam 1t will be about
as effective by way of publication of grating poiti
clans to slap Sinclairs hand with small part the
bundle he gave 70 buy Teapot Dome
What the Republican party needs now by way of
house cleaning is to drive out the grafters and give
party leadership to honest All this oil trouble
grew out of the vicious policy Of picking presidential
candidates in midnight conferences where political
bosses and crooked financial hackers got their heads
together and arranged for salve to soothe itching
palms.
The success of the conference was made possible
by the old army game of tying up State delegations
by running third-rate favorite sons

One Issue Above All

One outstanding issue is before the Repub-
Ican voters Of Indiana as they ponder over how
they will express their presidential preference
at the State primary May 8. 1t is: Shall In
diana S thirty three delegates to the Kansas
City convention support Herbert Hoov-
en- candidate with record Of years OF
achievement for his country, or shall they be
delivered to James E. Watson, to be used as
swapping material at midnight bedroom con
ference of machine politicians!
Strive as they may, Indianapolis and up
state and downstate newspapers have failed
Signally to find flaws in Hoover record. Their
attempts to establish entangling alliances have
fallen miserably fiat. Their efforts to raise oil,
religious and foreign issues have proved d
boomerang.
1t is significant that they have sought to
tear down Hoover, rather than to sing the
praises and shout the virtues of James E. Wat
SON For even the most rabid supporter Of
Watson would find it difficult to declare that
the senior senator from Indiana ever made
decision or took definite stand or answer to
tile Senate roll call without first basing it all
on "'What political effect will this have?'
If James E. Watson ever has rendered I'M
selfish service to the people of Indiana, unin-
fuenccd by political considerations, history is
amazingly quiet on the subject Watson is in
power not because of the service that he has
given, but solely because he has built up ma
chine of Juggernaut proportions which has
rolled over all oppositon machine which gets
its motive power from certain selfish business
interests, the Ku-Klux Khan, and other forces
Of intolerance and greed.
The greatest appeal which Herbert Hoover
has to the voters of Indiana is that he is not a
politician. lie has placed public service first,
with no thought Of political reward.
There will be no surer indication that In
diana means to clean house politically than
sweeping victory for Herbert Hoover OH May s.
There will be no surer sign that all this talk
of new deal is empty prattlc than a ma ority
for James E. Watson in the primary.
Indiana voters must lie on their bed as they
make it. But it would be more appropriate to
call that bed sly or kennel if they vote to
continue the present Republican leaders in
power.

Philosophy was everything to him,
the world vain garment of reality;
wherever he went, its problems were
with him; and one day when he
was a guest of the king. and the
talk was all of hunting and hounds,
Thomas interrupted suddenly to say,
with inspired countenance: Il have
a decisive argument against the
Manicheans!" Philosophia magister
vitae: philosophy was, in no mere
phrase, the master Of his life.
He began with commentaries on
the various works of Aristotle, and
then passed on to his Two master
pieces-the "Summa contra Gen
tiles and the "Summa Theologiae. -
In the first OF these he puts aside
ali authority of revelation and ira
dition, and though he does not fail
to point out the Scriptural and &C.
clesiastical support of his doctrine,
he proposes to rely on reason and
evidence alone in his attempt to
demonstrate to the "Gentiles"
those who had not yet accepted
Catholic Christianity-the reason
ablenessj of the orthodox faith.
To our minds it seems a failure;
but it was a magnificent failure,
like Spinoza's effort to reduce a liv-
ing universe to mechanics and
geometry; there is something sub
lime even when life and truth have
left them.

when Thomas had surpassed him.
After four years with Albert, Ac-
quinas went to Paris, and was made
full professor there, at the UMPIRE
cedented age Of 25.
From that time to the end of his
brief life he toiled with diligence
that endeared him to his fellows, in
that task of making reason Chris
tan. which was to be the first step
in the far greater task Of making
Christianity reasonable.
He lived but twenty-four years
more, dying at the age of 40; but in
those fleeing years Of what today
would be philosophic immaturity,
he encompassed all the knowledge
of his time, and produced, as Henry
Adams puts it, "a mass of manu-
script that tourists will never know
enough to estimate except by
weight" --
HE was stout man, and had
L Il some difficulty at meals; he
had not been intellectually de-
signed with view to sitting at a
table, and gossip said his table had
a semi-circie cut into it so that he
might get near enough to eat.
Nevertheless he sat at his desk
resolutely, hour after hour, year
after year, carving a cathedral of
logic in which his mind, as well as
his heart, might worship; and when
WEAKNESS aSsailed him he would
turn back to his pursuit Of reason.

Pickett's Letters

The letters written by Gen. George E. Pickett
c. S. A., to his wife during the Civil War have Just
been published by Houghton, Mifflin Company of
Boston. One magnes they must be well worth
reading.
Pickett left chat will endure as long as
the Civil War is remembered-whch is to say as long
as America lasts. Other Southern generals were more
distinguished for tactical and strategic ability no one
can rank with Lee and Jackson, and no one matches
Jeb Stuart Nathan Forrest for dashing color But
Pickett occupies niche by himself
The charge of his division at Gettysburg is the
climax in the story Of the Civil War To Pickett was
given the honor of standing at the highwater mark
Of the Confederacy. For that reason his name will
endure for many, many years.

Transportation is one of the big
geSt problems faced by the modern
city, Most people realize its physi-
cal, financial and political diff
culties. What they do not realize,
but what remains a constant source
Of confusion is the element of hui
man ingenuity.
Because transportation as applied
to the modern city is the product of
invention, it continues to be the VIC
tim Of invention.
No sooner has one system been
perfected than it faces the risk of
being wrecked by improvement.
Horse cars were replaced by the
electric cars within thirty years, and
now comes the bus.
The chronic Wrangle over rates,
revenues and valuation is rooted in
the effort of private companies to
make their pile before some innova-
ton puts the system out Of business.
More cities would adopt municipal
ownership of transportation systems
we're it not for the fear that they
would become obsolete before the
ink dried on the deeds of transfer.
What brains might do to existing
tracks, vehicles and power produc-
ton scares everyone.

Railroads Helping Agriculture

The president of the Santa Fe railroad recently
announced that the railroad would pay all the ex-
penses of stock judging teams from each of the
twelve States to the Agricultural Congress in Kansas
City next fall.
That sounds very fine and public spirited, and it
is; but, at the same time, it is a good investment
for the railroad, too If the railroad can promote
better stock raising in the Southwest there will be
more prosperity and the railroad will make more
money.
More and more our big business concerns are dis
covering that they can best help themselves by help
ing the communities of which they are part. 1t is
mighty encouraging sign; a million times better
than the old, discarded public be damned" attitude

America Sprouts Wings

How long will it be before flying an arpane is
an everyday experience to the average man-before
you and I buy airplanes as casually as we now buy
automobiles?
Probably it will be quite a long time; but. after
all you can't be sure.
recent issue of Chicago newspaper contained
no less than eight advertisements of schools offer
ing to teach flying. Grouped with them two
advertisements of planes for SALE story along
side told of the coming airpane show at Detroit,
where more planes will be gathered under one roof
than ever before
Signs of the times, these 1t looks if the aver
age American is going to Sprout wings rather fast,
after all.

Could he keep this up forever?
You will see that the pieces would become smaller
and smaller all the time, becoming far smaller
than the eye could ever hope to see
One school of philosophers argued that you could
keep the process of cutting going indefinitely.
The other school argued that this not the case
They said that eventually you would reach a stage
where you would be dealing with small, hard grains
out of which the gold was formed. These tiny grains
they maintained could not be cut.
Therefore, they called these grains "atomos"
This word was formed from two Greek words, "a,
meaning mot" and 'temno" meaning ito cut" II
meant therefore, "uncuttable'
Our modern word atom" is, of course, the same
word.
These Greeks believed that every substance was
formed from atoms. They explained the difference
between solids and liquids by supposing that solids
were made from atoms with little hooks which caused
them to cling together tightly Liquids they believed
were formed from smooth atoms which moved freely
in all directions
1t is startling to realize how good an approxna-
ton of the truth these ancient Greeks formulated
without any experimental data to guide them.
The atomic idea dropped more or less out of view
during the ensuing centuries But another idea of the
Greeks, we shall see motivated the alchemists OF
the Middle Ages.

for 1923.
Apples led the list with a value of $3OOOoOoO.

Oil Men and the Public

Doubtless it was unfair that people should assume
some additional corruption about to be disclosed
Just because the Senate committee learned that Mr..
Osler had engineered some kind of 100000 deal
in Liberty bonds aside from the Continental case.
But. after all, it the fault Of the oil men
themselves. They have given the public grounds for
being suspicious of their every action.
Senators Nye and Walsh believe this latest deal Of
Oslers purely a private affair, in no way con-

are right But, repeat, the oil men have only
themselves to blame if some people insist on suspect

Senatorial Lines

The proposal to install seni-aerial
transportation lines i'll Paris is a
vivid example Of what may happen.
The vehicle TO be operated on
these lines is a cross between an
undressing cable car and an air
plane. 1t will be suspended from
pulleys running on a monorail, sup
ported by towers some 500 feet
apart, and will be pulled by an air
plane propeller. 1t is said to be
capable of a speed OF two miles
minute.
The cost Of such line, with all
necessary accessories and equip
ment is estimated at about one
tenth of that of the average sub
way.

New York IS Problem

New York's transportation prob
lem, about which so much noise is
being made just now, would be much
easier to solve if every one con-
cerned were not afraid of such in
novations as this Paris venture.
The bug under the chip consists of
absolute knowledge that some parts
of the New York system have be-
come obsolete and must soon be
abandoned, coupled with a pretty
good idea that others are doomed
to a similar fate.
So far as surface appearances go,
the rumpus would seem to amount
to no more than a struggle over the
fare question. But that is due to
smoke screen of law and politics.
The real issue is who can get out
from under, and who will be left to
hold the bag
