made no attempt to conceal the serious
ness of the situation. He told King
Philippe and Donald that the change
was a complete surprise, having been
Just laid before the regents that day.
Nobody seemed TO know who had made
the accusations, which maintained
that Capt. Koenig had stolen the plans
of the new Moravian fortifications from
the war Office and planned to deliver
them to the Bachenbourg army. The
deed was said to have been done two
nights before. and the leather case in
which the plans had been kept was said
to have been found in Capt. Koenigs
quarters. This was the main point
against him. The plans, however, had
not been found.
IF Duke Boris Is at the bottom of
this, as we think" commented Don,
when the lieutenant had finished his
story, there is no doubt that he had
the plans planted in Capt. Koenig's
room. When win he be tried?"

Business Men in Politics

A political phenomenon worth noting is the promi-
nent and open part played by leaders OF business and
industry in the present campaign
Some of the biggest figures in Americas business
life are avowed workers for either Hoover or Smith
John j. Raskob for instances quit General Motors to
become Democratic national chairman. On the Re-
publican roster are many notable names, including
large employers of labor and who control CAPT
tai
Both parties make much of the support of such
outstanding men, Interviews with Henry Ford and
Thomas A. Edison on Hoover's fitness are reprinted
and distributed by Republican campaigners Let man
of wealth or influence pledge funds or allegiance to
Smith and the mimeograph squad at headquarters
Immediately is modified that the good news may
be rushed to the daily press
Politicians once had horror Of letting the public
know that their candidate enjoyed such backing For
it was the general belief that large contributors and
big interests subsequently exacted payment in the form
of political favors With justification the voters
felt that an administration so aided might be SUB
iect to dictation from it's big benefactors.
There seems less ground for suspicion of this sort
TODAY Business leaders are entering politics as in
avduals rather than agents for special or selfish IN
terests as too often was the case in the past Raskbob
prefers Smith. The President of the same COM
pany has announced for Hoover.
OF their own choice, it appears, men Of this type
are giving hostages that should their candidate be
chosen they will not seek to exercise undue influence
on his administration Their willingness to work In
the omen now is some assurance that they will not seek
secret or special favors hereafter.
All this is clear gain

Applaud Loose Talk

If our business institutions adopt
ed methods and practices which are
common to politics, if they made
such reckless and irresponsible
statements. if they left as much
untold, if they vilif1ed or ridiculed
their competitors to the same ex-
tent, if they glorif1ed themselves
with the same kind of complacent
self-praise, if they twisted facts and
figures in the same manner, they
would not last long enough to meet
their next months bills.
No activity in the United States
permits such loose talk as we not
only tolerate, but applaud on the
part of our political leaders. They
may avoid the short and ugly word,
but they are continually proving
each other liars, and the habit has
deteriorated to a point where no
one considers it a serious offense.
One says the unemployed in this
country amounted to 100000 last
February and another says they
numbered 100000. Nobody cares
who is right, or whether either is
right We just take it as part
of the show. If it were business,
we would demand accuracy, and if
we did not get it we would bring
a libel suit.

DESTROY Confidence

Monday night heard Borah and
Smith. Borah told what Smith did
not know about farm relief and in
land waterways Smith told what
the Republicans had failed to do for
New York. That is characteristic
of the entire performance. Each
side is busy about nothing so much
as telling what the other does not
know, or has failed to accomplish.
Taking the testimony as a whole.
you get the impression that there
is dense ignorance all around.
If L met doctor who spent so
much time telling me what his COL
leagues did not know and how SUI
perior he was to the whole profess
sion, 1 would not allow him 10 treat
a yellow dog.
II a manufacturer could not do
better job advertising his goods.
L would not trade with him.
Our political leaders are doing
nothing so successfully as to under
mine public confidence in every one
who holds Office, or aspires to hold
it. Taking them at their word. the
entire structure is infected with
graft, incompetence and crooked
ness. The prevailing motif is one
OF irresponsible attack.

WhOObipg Cough Is Serious Problem

as we'll as on the parents of other
children in the vicinity.
Children should be kept away
from other children who have
coughs and colds. Whenever q
cough or cold persists more than q
day or two the child should have
proper medical attention.
If parents know of other children
in the neighborhood who have
whooping cough and who are being
permitted to play outdoors with the
gang, the health department should
be notified, so that the sick child
will be put under the control of its
parents and the latter informed
that the child must be kept alone
until it is well.
In most communities the parents
Of children with Whooping cough
are not considered as in quarantine
and are permitted to go about their
daily work.
A sign on the door to the effect
that whooping cough is present in
the household permits other par
ents however. to take suitable pre-
cautions for the protection of their
children.

Harry Leslie candidate for Governor, announces war
fare on Frank Daley, whose warfare IS against cor
rrntion in government and whose record Is SO OUT
standing that he needs no halo to give 1t emphasis
Can it be that his present associations have cor
rpted the language of the speaker OF the House OF

stroy they first make mad?
The birds who flock together have always mao
a raucous note in their hymns Of hate and so, per-
hans the language of Leslie will be appreciated by
those to whom he makes his special appeal
OF course the Republicans of the State interested
IN nIacinp Indiana before the Nation in different
attitude than it has been known in the past few
years will hardly be impressed by the idea OF losing
even the pretense Of dignity, which is usually asSo-
ciated with the Office of chief executive.
The Republicans understood in the spring when
thew voted in the primaries They gave to Leslie SO
few votes that he was negligible factor until the
old forces and influences which fourished under
stenhenson combined in the convention to once more
steal the livery of the Republican party.
If there be any satisfaction it will come from the
fact that Leslie himself now gives proof that their
Judgment of his fitness in the spring was quite correct

fortunate if Daley and Leslie could appear each nght

Potshotting at Zogu

Central American revolutionist once messaged his
general in the field:
az am sending you thirty volunteers. Please return
the ropes"
About q. month ago President zogu announced to
the world that at the earnest solicitation of his ador-
ing peope he had consented to proclaim himself King
of Albania
Today King zogu is hiding behind barbados in his
own palace at Trana according to the cables, dodg-
ing the bullets of these loyal subjects 1t be-
gins to look therefore of the cheering mob
of month ago had come to Tirana in ropes.
The trouble with King Zogu is that he has been
all things to all men in his thrtyfour years of in
tensve adventure He has fought for the Turks, and
AGAINST them for and against the Austrians the Serbs
and the Italians
At present he is Dictator Mussolinis jumping Jack
ussoini has made Albania Italian protectorate to
serve as brdgehead on the eastern side of the Adri-
attic in case of war with Jugoslavia invasion of
the Balkans.
Albanians as a whole never have taken kindly to
Zogus activities or the Italian hookup Furthermore
there are lot of good republicans among them who
did not cheer very loudly over his enforcement.
So zogu has lot of trouble on his hands. Plotters
are said to be swarming all over the place trying to
get pot shot at him. Dispatches from border points
saw that eleven of them have been hanged in the
nublic square of Durazzo conspring against the
sefnade king while the country teens with italian
and native secret police cornbing the kingdom for
others.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

There are available vaccines
which many physicians believe are
of value in preventing the disease.
However, their value has not been
sufficiently established to warrant
their use in every child, a recon-
mendation which is made for the
control Of diphtheria, for example.
Whereas whooping cough in it
self is not an extremely serious
condition, the records indicate
that it is extremely dangerous to
small children, particularly those
under l year of age.
In older children, the after effects
and complications, such as pneu-
monia. tuberculosis disturbances Of
the heart. and similar troubles, are
sufficient to make the disease dan
gerouS.
More than 90 per cent of all
deaths from whooping cough occur
in children under 5 years of age
In the control Of this disease, it
is Of the utmost Importance to keep
the child with whooping cough away
from other children.
Thus prevention depends primar-
lily on the parents of the sick child

Thumb-NaiI Sketches

Honest" Dan, he was, operating
his little grocery store in an In

carrying him along, sometimes a
bit behind, sometimes a little ahead.
Then the store burned. There
was no insurance. His two sons
tired of his pessimism over his loss.
They went a step further and
forged checks on his good name.
He paid to keep them from prison.
AS though the deluge Of unhappy
luck were not complete, Maudie,
his wife, went to the hospital to
undergo an operation. She died.
1t probably was a blessing, for she
had suffered so, but Dan didn't take
it that way.
He broke then. Nerve gone,
crippled in spirit, home gone, wife
gone, kids gone, too. Dan cleared
out and became a drifter, just a
bum for years, leading a hand to

stealing a little.
Then, as though he had been
travelling in a wide circle all these
years, he drifted back to Indian
apolis and came to the attention
of the Wheeler City Mission. They
towed the derelict into harbor and
began salvaging.
Over a cup of coffee and a
doughnut, Dan talked out all the
old hurts and began to feel bet
ter. From little odd jobs the mis-
sion obtained for him he worked
up enough self-esteem to go back
into the grocery business. He has
debts to pay up-something to live
for now-clear himself-good citizen
again!
