Mayor Quits
in Election
atAnderSOn

BB Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 19. -
Mayor Francis M. Williams Of An
derSon has Withdrawn as a candi-
date for reelection, taking the step
Friday night at a meeting of the
Republican city committee.
The day previous the mayor had
announced he would fight to fin
ish to retain his Office after all other
candidates on the Republican ticket
had withdrawn and placed their
names on a citizens slate.
Immediately on withdrawal OF
Mayor Williams, the citizens ticket
was voted back into the Republican
ranks, with Albert P. Priest, vice
president of the Ward Stilson
Manufacturing Company, as nom
inee for mayor. Others on the Re-
publican ticket as it now stands are:
For city clerk. Ray E. Hall; judge,
Charles B. Salyer; councilmen at
large, Charles S. Hughes and Ma
rino Haubursin; councilman, first,
Wilbert o. Rhoton; second, Earl
Berkebile, and third, Cary A. Rains.
Now Party Fight
AS matters now stand, the cam
paign will be between two parties
instead of being a three-cornered
fight.
Jesse II. Mellett, twice mayor Of
Anderson, is the Democratic candi-
date opposing Priest.
Williams said he withdrew TO pro-
motet harmony and to enable the
party to present a united front
against the Democrats. He was
elected mayor in 1925 and will leave
the office Jan. 1.
Blocked Program
The last four years have been a
stormy period at the city hall.
Trouble started when Councilmen
Robert w. Webb and Mark j. Ro-
Zelle became angered at the mayor
because he failed to appoint them
on the board of works. Then came
a period during which the belliger-
ent councilmen blocked the admin
iStration program. Mayor Williams
reorganized the. board of works with
Webb and Rozelle as two Of the
three members.
Strife continued until two years
ago when a bill was enacted by the
legislature providing that each Of
the five members of the council also
serve as members of the board of
works. This arrangement will con-
tinue until the beginning of next
year when Anderson will become a
city of the second class and the
mayor will have the authority to
selects board of works outside the
membership of the council.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Senate reconveneo on September
after o recess Of two and one-half
months.
Our Government has indicated its
acceptance of the formula framed by
Elihu Root embracing the reservations
attached to the resolution of adhesion
to the World Court protocol passed by
our Senate. Submitted to the several
signatorieS as a proposed statute of the
court, this formula requires acceptance
by all. It Is scarcely to be doubted that
after such acceptance (Which may fairly
be assumed) the protocol as so amended
will be submitted to our Senate for
ratification, though it is arguable that
declaration by the President that our
adhesion to the amended protocol had
been consummated would legally suffice
Here Is an upset indeed. On Sep
TENDER 4, in the opening round of the
amateur golf championship tournament
at Pebble Beach, Calf, Robert Jones'
generally regarded as the supreme golfer
of all times, was beaten, up, by John
Goodman of Omaha, age 20. Unwilling
to exalt Mr.. Goodman unduly, fortune
caused him to be beaten later on the
same day by w. Lawson Little of San

The Hague. Several committees were
appointed Chiefly one for drawing up
a plan of organization of the proposed

carry on work during adjournment Of
the conference. Premier JaSpar OF
Belgium was elected permanent presi-

expected that the conference will be

session of the League Assembly, and
probably at Lausanne.

conferees respecting supervision OF the
demilitarized Rhine belt after the de-

French. It will be remembered that
the Locarno treaty provides for creation
at any time of a special commission to
take cognizance of specific allegations
Of violations of that treaty, while the
right remains unprejudiced to invoke
In such a connection articles XIII and
XIII of the treaty of Versailles. APP

reasoning person as exerting a broad
enlng mnuence on our capacity for
intellectual work, adding something to
the so-called intellectual life.
But Is natural science TO be banned?
Is study of material things harmful
to the human intelligence? Is the
knowledge and use of natural laws
harmful to the intellectual life?
In asking these questions 1t may be
assumed that / am putting up a man
Of straw to be knocked down, but men
OF science have never attempted as a
body to force their methods and
results" on any one. The shoe has been
on the other foot. In a more ignorant
and perhaps more cruel age such men
were threatened and sometimes burned
to death for holding to what they be-
lievcd to be the truth. The land yet

for fear of imprisonment or death, ex-
presses a conviction unchanged by
threats. He believed he had discovered
a fact.
Even in my recollection students of
science were on the defensive and not
on the offensive. Witness the attacks
on Darwin. Remember Tyndall's Bel
fast address in 1876 before the British
1AooOSAdb4OI 1OI JtlC AOfdllCcIIlC1G VI
Science. in which he asked that scien-
tific investigators be permitted 10
pursue their work without being sub
jected to continued attacks. It was
real to him. but really humorous now
when we consider what a half century
Of enlightenment has done to protect
those who. like Tyndall, are searching
after truth.
And yet the general recognition of
the value of the man of science has
come slowly. For instance, I remember
the time when a very large proportion
Of the manufacturers In this country
would not employ the graduates Of
engineering schools. They said they
wanted practical men,: men who had
started at the beginning with little edu-
cation and had learned by experience
what they knew of the work for which
they were employed Now all this Is
changed. A large percentage Of our

Science being accumulated and estab-
lished knowledge. 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that a professor of history would
take the position that history was doing
nothing for the so-called intellectual
life" and that knowledge OF 1t was
doing the world a great deal of haru.."
So natural science Is probably what he
meant. and In his opinion Of this SCI
ence he Is not alone, for well remem-
Der the colored clergyman OF Richmond
who some years ago attained national
notoriety by stoutly maintaining that
the earth is as fiat as q pancake" He,
too, probably thought that science was
trying to force its results on his intel
lectual life.
The object of the use of this quota
ton as q text is not to criticize the pro-
fessor seriously, for such observations
among educated men must be regarded
as highly humorous, but 1t serves to in
troduce q subject of general interest

what is the intellectual life? Has
any class or any individual corner

or course. history no longer consists
of an enumeration of the battles and
amours Of kings. This has been re-
placed by more scientific studies: Of
the reasons for the fall Of the Roman
Empire: Of the causes which led to the
French Revolution; of the story of the
changes in the habits Of a people, and
other similar subjects. These belong to
the realms of science and, like many
other branches Of human knowledge,
such as architecture. painting and
sculpture. must be recognized by every

He expressed confidence Of a f1ve-

which failed of the requisite ratlnca-
tons.
He did not, as many had hoped. give
detail of his plan for united states
of Europe, but he revealed the impor-
tant fact that the plan contemplates
not merely the economic but also the
political solidarity of Europe, but SO
as in no way to affect the sovereignty
of the parties" Obviously, he opined,
an economic agreement would be the
most important element OF such con-
struction. He begged the representa-
tives of European states present TO
consider the idea with view to Its
realization in the not distant future,
perhaps at the next assembly" Surely
it lie TO be presumed that a substantial
draft of the plan will soon be forth
coming. The indication is that BRAND
will move for an international commit
tee to consider the project.

neering education, but do not
i feel competent to do so. have
had only 81 years experience
in this branch Of science, and feel that
I should leave advice upon this subject
to those more experienced and perhaps
more dogmatic.
But while the question Of education
is a serious one, some Of the So-called
educators themselves break loose at
times and add to our gayety. Witness
the professor from Columbia University
whose ire was so greatly excited by the
Scopes case in Tennessee that he called
for drastic action against the monkey
less educated ones; action of such FASH
ion that had it been carried into effect
they would have always remained in
their present benighted educational
condition.
And later a professor in the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology came
into the limelight advising his students
to become snobs, apparently under the
assumption that none was such already.
Lloyd Morris. in the Herald-Tribune,
however, made light Of this advice. as
only a part of the usual commencement
oratory, endured with indifference ny
students who during four long years
have listened to too much to be capable
of understanding anything"
And early this year, partly excusable
perhaps because it was Springtime. a
Yale professor stepped out. In COM
munication to the American PhiloSoph-
ical Society, answering request from
its president that members give their
opinion on certain questions which he
called intellectual stock taking, this
learned doctor of philosophy and pro-
fessor of history in that university con-
cluded his observations as follows: II
cannot see that science is doing any
thing for the intellectual life. and in so
far as it attempts to force its methods
and results on the intellectual work 1t

great manufacturers and public utility
corporations will not employ for their
technical work man who Is not a
technical graduate. The school with
which I am connected was overrun this
year, and has been for several years, by
representatives Of scores of corporations
looking for young engineering graduates.
Ever since the beginning the men OF
pure science and the engineers have, by
their work, added to the sum of human
knowledge and human happiness
added to the intellectual as well as to
the material life. The glories of the
Renaissance, the works Of Raphael. Of
Michelangelo, of Leonardo da Vinci
would never have materialized had 1t
not been for the men, the engineers Of
that day, who built the ships that
brought the products of labor from dis
tant places. And these ships could
never have sailed the seas were 1t not
for the knowledge of science, crude as
1t was, Of the navigators who directed
them.
Ever since the beginning of history
the engineer has had the right to be
placed among the greatest Of his con-
temporaries. Were the men who trans
ported the obelisks from great distances
and who built the pyramids. thousands
of years before the Christian era, add
ing to or subtracting from the intel
lectual life Of their day? Were they
among the wisest or most ignorant of
their times? Were the men who built
the aqueducts, the Forum, the trium-
phal arches, the roads, the least intel
lectual Of the citizens Of Rome? Did
the works Of Frontinus require less in
telligence for their production than the
orationS Of Cicero?
During the Renaissance the greatest
of their artists the incompatible Leon
ardo, was also the greatest Of their en-
gineers. Did he by his speculations and
inventions add to the intellectual life?
And as the years rolled on and the
world awoke, who awakened it? Was it
those, supposed to represent all there
was of the intellectual life Of the times,
who for hundreds Of years had held it
In thraldom? Or was 1t the men who

ssTN marked contrast with this rather indif-
ferent attitude. a second bird which was
watched on the nest for 16 hours, behaved in
an entirely different manner. This bird. when
forced of the nest, would fly directly UP into
the intruders face and then run or to one
side, distance of or 10 feet. where 1t would
perch on q rock, fluff out its feathers like a
setting hen and utter a low plaintive call.
1.-THE call would often be repeated two or
three times after slight pause of half O
minute between calls. When we started after
this bird it would lead us adroitly away from
the nest. but II we stood still it would hustle
directly back. even when we were standing only
10 feet distant.
I'm going on to the nest the bird was very
careful not to step directly upon the eggs It
would trot up to within a foot or SO Of the
eggs and then streak cautiously down to the
edge Of the nest. Here 1t would stop, inspect
the eggs and reach out with its bill and turn
the eggs around. keeping them little ends
down.
Following this inspection the bird fiuffed out
the feathers on its breast and, sitting down
gently on the edge of the nest. slid its body
forward with great care until the eggs were
completely covered.
when frightened off the nest this surf bird
sometimes picked up small grass seeds and in
