THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
Ma1iuS ESbOuSeS Citizens Cause
Written for The Times bu WIZ Durort

THE dispossessed farmers focked
n to the capital to form a new
clasS-the "proletariat"-so called
because their main industry was in
making children.
AS they were citizens, privileged
to vote in the assembly, and the
empire had maintained all demo-
cratic forms, these proletaires, half
idle in a city bristling with trade,
but lacking in industry, became a
threat to the power Of the patrician
landowners and the rising bour-
geoisie; they were held in some re-
straint only by receiving corn, and
sometimes meat and wine, from the
state, and being bribed literally by
all candidates for their votes.
AS the rich grew richer with the
blood Of the provinces the poor grew
poorer with the loss of their lands,
and the gap between classes tore
society into pieces with hundred
revolutions.

a revised prayer book for the Established Church of
England.
The mob of people who sought admission to attend
the debates broke all recent precedentS The speeches
made in the House of Lords and in the House of
Commons broke all records for eoquence for intense
ness, for earnestness, for ability.
All party lines were smashed. All class lines we're
forgotten. Bishops, arstocrats and workmen on one
side opposed bishops aristocrats and wormen on the
other The result of the voting awaited with a

The Waste An Accident Causes

Eugene Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, hits the nail right the head in his
statement announcing the Bethlehems new campaign
to reduce industrial accidents.
President Grace begins by announcing that the
elimination of waste must be one of the first en-
beavers TO any industrial organization. To date he
says, industry has done we'll in eliminating waste in
time and materials; great manufacturing economies
have been introduced efficiency has mounted year by
year.
Thus he sees the waste caused by injuries to
workers remaining one of industry's outstanding
problems.
"a man who is hurt suffers pain and worry" he
says. His family loses part of all of its income -
Accordingly the Bethlehem concern has divided
its employees into groups and is Offering series of
attractive cash prizes for the lowest accident records
1t is a good step. American industry, as WHOLE
is conducted with remarkably few accidents consider
ing the pitfalls that lie in its path; but the total
can still bear reduction and any measure that VIE

The Doors Open

An inspired message from the national cap
ital says that when Senator James Eli Watson
comes back home on Thursday it will not be in
the role of party dictator, but as humble
member Of the ranks.
He has forgotten his announced desire to
give new deal' through the picking of
candidate for Governor who wears no night
gown nor party chairman who will make the
voters forget the gentleman who guided his
own campaign two years ago and who is now
too busy in the Federal Courts to continue his
job.
1t is. intimated that his work as Mussolni
for his party in this State has failed. Perhaps
it was because he discovered that he had too
many promises outstanding which he could not
keep. 1t may have been for other reasons.
This is perhaps Fortunate, not only for his
party, but for the State
For his early and unsuccessful suggestions
as to those who should succeed to power were
not altogether happy.
For chairman Of the party he had tried to
obtain the editor who led the crusade in the
ranks of the Republican Editorial Association
A. Adams Of Vincennes, whose crime was that
he demanded cleanup of political conditions
Adams was denounced by this editor and
those who followed his advice as an enemy to
the party with which he had been allied for
fifty years.
political chairman who takes bold stand
that any person who demanded that the evils
Of Stephensonsm be exposed was not Repub-
lican, might be in keeping with the ideas Of
Watson, but he is not likely to inspire any con-
fdence this year.
Unless there is a determined and persistent
policy to drive from the Republican party
every man and woman who is even mildly glad
that the ''Black Boxes have disgorged their
secrets that those who betrayed the State are
exposed that some who walked in dark paths
are indicted, the Watson retirement from
dictatorship would seem to be a happy out
come.
Perhaps the rank and file of the voters OF
the Republican party will decide to get the
new deal for themselves.
They may decide that their party has too
fine tradition and too much Of a purpose to
be handed over to those who have betrayed 1t
in the past and whose ideas of public service
is to suppress any inquiries into malefactlons.
The voters may really look around and try
to discover some man in the party who has
voiced his opposition to Stephensonism and
Klanism and the other evils.
There have been one or two such men. But
thus far they have not been suggested by Wat
son as furnishing a solution.
What is a "new deal" anyway? More night
gowns?
Or more cells?

What Other Editors Think

portunity to talk to a Howard

More and more, the evidence &C

thoroughly familiar with all the

his services should be enlisted to

ends.

Speed-Land and Sea

Speed on the ocean would mean
little unless supplemented by speed
at the landing place.
Fast ships are but one factor in
fast service.
In order to make a real reduction
in time between European and
American centers it was necessary
to seek new port arrangements.
That is why Mr.. Wilder called in
the railroad men after he had de-
termined a thirty hve-knot ship

AS finally agreed upon, the plan
not only calls for a fleet of such
passenger ships as the world has
never seen, but a new port some
where near, though outside OF, New
York, and a readjustment of rail-
road facilities and airplane service
from ship to ship.

Mans Fondest Dream

Long life, has and probably al
ways will be the fondest dream OF
men.
Desire for long life has not only
intrigued poets, philosophers and
savantS since the dawn of con-
seriousness, but it has opened the
door to the most fantastic beliefs
and the worst frauds that ever
plagued humanity.
Elixirs, white magic, fountains of
youth and all kinds of curious cults
have become popular at one time
or other because of the hope they
offered of prolonging life.
This, more than anything else,
reveals the depth and universally
of the desire.

World More Interesting

Men want long life today more
than they ever did. They want it
not only because life has become
more interesting, but because they
need more time to see and know
what life offers.
The human horizon has been ex-
panded greatly by modern inven-
tions. The average man no longer
is hemmed in by the limited OPP
portunities that went with the horse,
the canoe, the signal fire and the
Wig-Wag.
Modern means of communication
and transportation have opened a
thousand doors to him that his
grandfather never knew. His prob
lem is not whether he can travel,
whether he can behold or whether
he can hear, but whether he has
time.

(KOkomo Dispatch)


Without anything to corroborate
it, the rather startling story of a
Statewide bank intrigue in Indi-
ana involving illegal practices in
the depositing of public funds,
as told by D. C. Stephenson from
his cell at Michigan City prison,
to Prosecutor Homer R. Miller and
Grover Bishop, would seem almost
unbelievable.
However, following the disclos-
ures brought about by the failure
of the American Trust Company
here and the bank at La Grange,
there js>no question but that State
funds have been handled in a
manner to invite very grave sus-
picion. In fact, in the light of
revelations thus far made in Ko-
komo alone, it would appear that
safety has not been a considera-
ton in the seeking of repositories.
Political expediency, rake-offs and
favoritism Of every degree seem
rather to have been the governing
factors.
1t is not so hard, therefore, to
