Can't Use Politicians

Out of freedom comes inventive
ness, out of inventiveness comes
trade, out Of trade comes the idea
that government is more an econ
omic, than a political structure.
China invites five Americans to
help her with reconstruction. They
are Henry Ford, owen D. Young,
two college professors and a banker.
Not politician on the list, you no
tice, not even a so-called statesman.
When the reparations question
became hopelessly snarled through
diplomatic bungling, two Americans
were called in to straighten it. One
was a banker, while the other was
that same Owen D. Young whom
China wants, and who is credited
with originating the plan which has
been of such material benefit to
Europe.
Obviously new idea is develop
ing all along the line. More than
one hundred of our cities have en-
dorsed it by adopting the manager
form of government, and all our
cities, as well as some states, are
borrowing methods and practices
from commercial life.

The Workers Party

It is not necessary to believe in the principles
the workers party to dsprove of the action of the
police in number of communities in breaking up and
forbidding meetings of the party.
The American Civil Liberties union reports that
election meetings either have been broken up other
wise prevented by the police in Kansas, New jersey
New York, sOhio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In
Philadelphia repeated arrests have been made and
three speakers still neld charge of "sedition"
Scott Nearing, for years professor of economics
at the University OF Pennsylvania has been several
times dragged from the platform and locked in a
CELL In many instances permits for meetings have
been refused by police, and in half dozen states
meetings have been broken up by police without ar
rests.
Such happenings are entirely out of place. 1t is
the boast of those who believe in republic as form
of government that the citizens has his say through
the vote If he does not like party he go out
and organize party of his own and put his ticket
on the ballot
This year the workers party will be nthe ballot
in thirtytwo states against fourteen states four
years ago. In three states efforts made to
clude the party from the ballot and in Washington
state the supreme finally ruled that this could
not be done
Unfortunately, in places, the American
Legion has taken part in the effort to prevent the
workers party exercising political power.
If happenings like these had been reported from
Germany in 1916 or 1917 they would have been de-
cried examples of "Prussianism" and would have
fed the flame of those who joined the crusade to
make the world safe for democracy" Now ten
years after the war has ended our land of the free
sees such practices running riot.
What the workers party members believe is not
our concern. They may believe in revolution. They
may believe in communism. They may believe in
sovietis. The point is they expressing themselves
through the peaceful methods of the ballot and that
is what sane people want them to do.
Their arguments are in that case addressed to the
reason and can be met with other arguments The
thing not to do is to answer words with violence
That is tyranny Also, it is bad tactics

Typify New Era

Edison and men like him typify
the dawn of new era. They not
only achieve success, but render
service without quarreling or con-
f1ict. Their fame rests on some
thing which is beyond doubt, or de-
bate. That is because their
victories are over the common
enemy Of ignorance and for all
mankind.
Edisons inventions are just as
good in China as in this country.
Indeed, China must adopt them if
she would take her rightful place
in the human parade.
Such work as Edison and men of
his type have done opens up a new
and more promising vista for the
future. For the first time, we
mortals can visualize triumph, with
out debating and crushing other
people.
That is the one idea which
justifies the hope of universal peace.

infection and the resistance of the
person concerned.
British psychologists have
found the temperature to be the
factor most closely associated with
death from infections of the
breathing tracts, and research by
the United States Public Health
service has tended to substantiate
this view.
The professor of hygiene in the
University Of Amsterdam has re-
Gently published statistics involv-
ing an investigation of thirty seven
sections of some 1000 people.
He also found definite relation
ship between changes in the tenn
perature and the incidence of the
common cold. as we'll as the NOR
tally from diseases Of the reSpira-
tory tract.
1t is his view that these diseases

physiologic defenses of the body
have been weakened by disturb

ances Of the heat regulating APP
paratus. The Dutch investigator
also found that the people studied
had an average of more than four
colds per person in thirty-seven
weeks.
If it be accepted that difficulties
with heat regulation for the human
body are fundamental to catching
cold, the method of prevention OBJ
viously depends on some system of
regulating the heat of the body and
keeping it constant.
The noted British Psychologist,
Hill, believes that cold weather
brings about a large group of colds
through people being more inclined
to shut themselves up in warm,
stuffy rooms and to open fewer
windows.
Associated with this is the diff
Guilty in keeping the clothing of the
body regulated to changes in the
external temperature.

sealed into glass TASKS.
And so people began to say that the air produced
these microbes and that experiments like those of old
Spallanzani were to be explained upon the grounds
that the heat killed the microbe- producing ability of
the air.
Pasteur puzzled over this problem trying one ex-
this idea which he positive was wrong.
Then one day, another professor at the Ecole Nor
male came to see him. Ballard was his name. Ballard
had been druggist. Tinkering about in his little
shop he had discovered the chemical element bromne
and as a reward had been made professor at the
Ecole Normale
Ballard had an idea. He believed that the microbes
we're in the air and merely fell into things.
SO he suggested to Pasteur that he put solution in
flask, boil it and then arrange bent glass tube on
the flask that the air could get at it, but that so
particles in the air could not fall into the flask The
accompanying illustration shows how Ballard meant it
to be done.
Pasteur and his assistants set at work at to try
out the idea. The TASKS were prepared and put in the
incubating oven
Next morning, before breakfast Pasteur had way
of forgetting trf1es like breakfast when an experiment
under way, he was in the laboratory to examine
the TASKS.
There were no bacteria to be found in any of the
TASKS.
Pasteur had scored another victory, though to be
this perhaps belonged more to the genial and
helpful Ballard.
But the battle was not yet over The advocates of
the theory Of spontaneous generation the theory that
life arises out Of the air. were not so easily slenced

SAYS:

CONGRESS hardly can be &C
~ cused of undue haste in order
ing a medal struck for Edison. The
public has felt he deserved one for
forty years apd more, but it takes
time for politicians to recognize the
merit of an inventor.
While the constitutional conven-
ton was celebrating at Philadelphia
in 1887, John Fitch exhibited his
steamboat. Only four of the fifty
or sixty delegates who inspected her
considered the event worth noting.
John Fitch died of a broken heart
because he could not get hearing
even among the great men of his
day.
Times have changed for the bet
ter. No inventor need go hungry
these days if he has an idea which
so much as resembles common sense.
That, perhaps, is the greatest vim
dication of free government.

RTUSSOLINI is taking in a great
deal of territory with his Fas-
cist organizations all over the
world, his placing of King Zogu

of all, his objections to restoration
of the Hapsburgs to the throne of
Hungary.
In his hours of ease, if he has any,
the Iron Man of Italy would do we'll

Courts and the Constitution

Can state judge, acting the application of
public prosecutor or citizen, suppress newspaper
by injunction without violating constitutional guaran-
tees Of free speech?
This is the interesting question that has arisen in
Minneapolis where a temporary Injunction issued
eleven months ago against weekly publication. the
Saturday Press, has been made permanent. 1t is a
question the United States supreme court probably will
be called upon to settle.
Back in 1925 state law passed making it legal
among other things for courts to enjon newspapers
which regularly publish malicious scandaous and de-
fanatory matter" The publication at which it was
aimed expired, and the law was not invoked
The Saturday Press at the outset of its brief career
began vigorous attack public officials and exposed
what it claimed were corruption and protected gam
bling. One Of the officials attacked was a county
prosecutor and he initiated the successful injunction
proceedings.
The issue involved is not whether the Saturday
Press printed the TRUTH or whether its attacks were
warranted 1t is whether enemies of newspaper and
the courts arbitrarily, and without recourse to Jury
wipe out the newspaper if its views do not happen
to be pleasing.
Attorneys for the Saturday Press contend and with
apparent reasonabeness that the law of criminal libel
makes it possible to silence and imprson editor
he ISLANDERS and defames public officers or anyone else
and that this law is adequate
In this process the right of jury trial is assured
Minnesotas constitution in fact, specifically guaran-
tees the right of any person to write publish his
views any subject, with the stipulation that the
citizen lis responsible for the abuse of such right"
There has been constantly growing complaint
against the in recent years for the frequency
with which they invoke the injunction. The injunction
originally was conceived emergency instrument
to be used where irresponsible injury threatened, and
where adequate remedy could not be Immediately had
at law
Labor unions, in particular, have suffered as the
courts more and more have assumed the right 70
exercise arbitrary authority.
And extension of the of the njunctoll into
matters involving free Speech where there is such
great opportunity for abuse and difference of opinion
should be resisted

Revolution in Industry

Edison made reputation while
he was young. He had scarcely
turned 80 before his name became
a household word. not only in this
country. but throughout the civil
lied world.
For half century, he has been
recognized as among the foremost
men Of his day and generation, uni
versally loved and respected. Edi-
son has forced tens of millions to
change their customs and habits,
without scintilla of animosity on
their part. He has killed off many
trades and industries, but without
inheriting one jot Of resentment.

Government Is Science

Gradually we are coming to I'M
derstand that government is SCI
ence, one that leans heavily on
bookkeeping, special training and
promotion through merit.
That is a new theory, born of a
new age-an age which, though
rooted in politics, eventually will
sidetrack old political doctrines and
presidents to large extent.
In the beginning, when the all
important object was to break down
class rule, it was legitimate to
preach and prove the virtue of elect
ing men to office without qualif1ca-
ton. The capacity of people to
govern themselves could have been
demonstrated in no other way.
Now that popular government has
been established beyond recall, its
efficiency becomes the problem.

Burlesque That Rebounds

From Minnesota comes the word that burlesque
speeches such as have been INDUCED in by Senator
Caraway Democrat, of Arkansas, making votes
for Herbert Hoover.
Says the st. Paul Daily News, independent
newspaper
Persons who enjoy the kind of stump speaking
which relies almost entirely on maximum of heavy
ridicule and minimum of facts undoubtedly found
the southern senator's wise-cracks diverting.
But such broad statements that Herbert
Hoover was responsible for the war wheat price
which broke every farmer in Minnesota the attempt
to ridicule the Republican nominee by references to
his birthplace and his residence abroad, the con-
tnual nsnuation of British bias by the cheap ruse
of constant repetition of doncher know and the
effort to beitte the Great Lakes-St Lawrence project
and Mr.. Hoovers sincerity il its advocacy have
left a bad taste in the mouths of every partisan
Democrat. :"

Great Problem Faced

The greatest problem we face in
this country is how to square gov
ernment--federal, state and NUM-
cipal-witn what we have learned,
how to take advantage of those
methods we have found so effective
in the management Of private en-
terprise, and how to get the benefit
Of experiences, special knowledge,
and system, without risking the
loss of popular control
Business has taught us much dur
ing the last half century. Before
that, we had nothing to compare
with the government even in its
minor branches, but now there are
several private institutions that out
rank some states and majority Of
cities in the amount of revenue they
receive, and the number Of people
they employ.

Editor Times-As a reader Of
your paper for the last twenty
years, and being interested in 1.-THE
Views of the People" on account of
their open and frank statements,
I feel I should have the privilege
of expressing my views on some of
the issues as I see them.
My educational and writing
proves are limited as you readers
will note, but even with those
handicaps, now and then an idea
strikes me in the head
I am a Protestant, belong to q
Protestant Church, and always have
believed in the religious teachings
Of the mother that suffered my
birth. I firmly believe that those
same privileges should be extended
to every man and woman in the
world today.
My attention has been called to
an editorial where some of our re-
ligious people ask day be set aside
for prayer, requesting the defeat at
the polls of Alfred E. Smith. A boy,
born into the world, dear reader,
the same as you or I, born you
might say in poverty, grew to man
hood from the slums Of a certain
district with immoral conditions
around him and at an early stage
in life was compelled to assume
the responsibilities of the home.
Yet despite these handicaps, the
boy, with fine determination won,
fought his way through a path In
life whose achievements, I dare say,
for the most of us would have been
impossible.
The power Of prayer as I have
been taught is to force out an evil.
May I ask the praying people in
the name of common sense, Where
is that evil?" only see one rea-
son for this rebuke. He is being
