Peoples Voice

Editor TimeS-A number of our
Democratic citizens are expressing
regret at some of the appointments
of our new sheriff, Buck Sumner.
We believe that these aforesaid citi-
zens are complaining without due
cause, or at least without consider
ing the world wide crisis of unem-
ployment.
Mr.. Sumner, to our way of think
ing, is a big, broad-gauged citizen
who thinks from an international
standpoint. He realizes that jobs
must be created for the unemployed.
Realizing this, he has appointed
several men as deputy sneriffs who
to say the least would fail to be
employed by anybody else.
The Republican party in Marion
county has been shorn Of its power
and patronage and a right-think-
ing person must know that it is
almost impossible for a Republican
to get a political job under a Demo-
cratic administration. Mr.. Sumner
has shown how to create Demo-
cratic jobs for Republican workers
and we believe that the Democratic
party is indebted to Mr.. Sumner
for being the first to blaze the
trail" to the political millennium.
UNEMPLOYED DEMOCRAT.

Revolutionary

GTRANGE as it may seem, the
~ quantum theory in many ways
Is more revolutionary than the Elm
stein theory.
Planck originated the quantum
theory in 1900. He then was pro-
lessor OF theoretical physics at the
University of Berlin. Many other
experimentalists and theorists have
dealt with the quantum theory
since. In fact, so rapid has the
progress been, that physicists now
speak of the new quantum the
ory."
The basis of Planck's theory was
that energy can not be gained or
lost in steady stream, but only in
small amounts or driblets. These
have been named quanta and hence
his theory is known as the quantum
theory.
A consequence of the quantum
theory was to displace the view that
light and other forms of radiation
consisted Of waves with the idea
they consisted Of little bullets of
energy or quanta
"Displace," however, is too dras-
tic a word. For while the quantum
theory explains many things which
the old wave theory did not ex-
plain, there are many phenomena
which can be explained satisfacto-
rily only on the basis of the wave
theory.
One scientific wit has said that
the physicists use the wave theory
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
and the quantum theory on Tues
day. Thursday and Saturday.
The Bohr theory of the atom,
which holds that the atom consists
Of a central nucleus around which
electrons revolve in orbits, was de-
veloped on the basis of the guam
tum theory.

Relics of Past

Z ALWAYS have regarded the
l. Gregorian calendar and English
arithmetic as the two prize left
overs of dead past.
AS long as one-fourth of a gall
lon and one-eighth of a peck are
not the same thing, though called
a quart, I shall refuse to believe
that "the voice Of the people is
the voice of God"
AS long as we must go on teach
ing tots to say, "Thirty days hath
September, April, June and No
vember-" to pound the names of
the months into their poor little
cranea, I shall refuse to admit that
our great pedagogs are taking edu-
cation seriously.
It takes the average child two
or three years to get the calendar
Strengthened out, and twice as long
to suspect what arithmetic is all
about, chiefly because of the hap
hazard tables around which both
are built.
Putting aside all other advan-
tages, adoption of the decimal Sys-
tenn and the thirteen-month year
would more than pay for itself by
what would be saved in the school
room.

THESE last few days have been very discouraging
to rising young bandits in Indiana, an unusually
large number Of them having been sent to the peni-
Tertiary and to the happy hunting grounds, as a re-
suit Of the swift work of vigilantes.
There's a distinct difference between bandit and
other law breakers, he having calculated very care
fully the chances of getting caught and being sent
over the road and the statistics Of yesterday were
very comforting to him.
The figures proved that it was about as safe to be
bandit as to be piano tuner, and the returns were
much more gratifying.
This when the bandit had nothing to fear
but the cobwebby machinery of our criminal courts.
They knew how to take the ball away from the
goddess of justice and play with it all summer, and if
necessary they jumped her and broke her Stats
DUT it's different since the people have formed the
ID habit of grabbing shooting irons and starting on
a man-hunt.
This affair at Clinton and this one in Kosciusko
county have done to bring frgidity to the feet
Of the stickup artist than all the criminal trials held
since Heck was pup.
The bandit simply can't warm up to bunch of
volunteer pursuers, armed with rifles and shotguns
and who are so undignifed as to shoot.
The public posse doesn't care for court room Ian
Apparently it doesn't any more for technicai-
ties than vegetarian for pigs feet.
Nothing could be more notifying to a bandit, ac-
customed to the hocus pocus of criminal practice than
TO do neat job Of bsnditing and then find himself
pursued by bunch that doesn't understand him
when he wants to make a motion to quaSh, or a
motion for change of venue motion to postpone
the case for ten or fifteen years
A CRIMINAL lawyer isn't worth much to a bandit
hiding in cornfeld when the bullets of the vigi-
lantes are clipping his ears.
Crooked politicians are of no avail when bunch of
farmers and townspeope take the trail and perjured
witnesses and padded juries no good at all.
And not only are these intoxicating pursuerS dan
gerous as killers they are dangerous also as creators
Of public sentiment that brings the accused to i'm
mediate trial once they are brought to town with
several thousand trailing along demanding that they
get the limit
1t would seem the people of Indiana have acquired
the hab tot the man hunt and if they have they can
end the bandit business as the viglantes OF Iowa
did t.

BaIk at Sensible Things

CEVEN months with thirty
- days each, four with thirty, and
one with twenty eight, for no other
reason on earth except that we lack
the spuInk to change it.
Mr.. Eastman has spent a good
part of his life trying to show us
the stupidity of continuing such
course and the ease with which it
might be changed, but to no pur-
pose.
We are great for originality and
Silence, until it comes to doing some
thing simple, sensible, and obvious.
Then we balk.
Our ability to move forward in
some respects is matched only by
our inertia in others.
We can perceive the desirability
of a League of Nations-some of us
at least-or an international Ian
guage, but not of changing the al
manac, though it would do nobody
harm and make nobody mad
Maybe that's why we remain so
Indifferent. Maybe we can't get
inertested in a thing unless it prom
ises a fight.

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 3l.-Last
= L. day Of the year, and who would
know it but for the calendarP
1t took men thousands of years to
figure out a calendar that would
stay put for more than ten or
dozen generations, and they still
have done nothing to brag about.
What excuse is there for Jan. l
coming when it does, save tradition.
1t doesn't fit the vernal equinox,
summer solstice, or anything else.
Papa did it that way, so we con-
tinue, regardless of what it costs
children by way of headache, or
older folks by way of bookkeeping.
When you want to know why
politicians won't repeal a blue law
that has gone unenforced for CEN
turtles, look at the calendar. It is
the greatest monument yet erected
to conservatism.

Easier in France

TTAvING become acquainted with
i Il the cubic litre, all French
kid has to do is multiply or divide
it's various qualities by ten to learn
all the tables. The length of its
side is a basis for linear measures,
what it contains is basis of dry or
wet measure, and its weight is a
basis for all computations which
have to do with gravity.
The average French kid has time
for lot of other things, while ours
is trying to reconcu grams, penny
weights, feet, bushels and barrels.

time or money as in dragging each
generation of children through this
useless quagmire of unintelligence?

Morality and Crime

ONE distinguished crusader RACED
" against some of the pardol1s
issued by Governor Roosevelt TO
women who were framed by police
and pigeons.
cts nonsense, said this lady,
ito talk of this inmate as an limo
cent person. Why, the records snow
that she is the mother OF an He
ultimate child"
And here is the heresy Of the
whole hallelujah chorus. They look
upon the law as legislation de-
signed for the preservation OF viz
tue. Now, that is a problem Wen
beyond the reasonable and proper
province of statutory enactment.
The procedure in regard TO wee
should be precise. When Grover
Whalen instituted dragnet methods
in rounding up ex-convicts and sus-
picious characters there was an I'M
mediate protest. :.
Sensible critics commended that II
was not enough for a policeman
TO saw. 81 think this person may
at some time or other conl1nl0
crime"
Indeed, the volume Of protest was
sufficient to brighten Whalen away
from his page one sorties.
And yet in general we have 1ol-
lowed exactly this same plan In re-
gard to war upon colnmerclanzed
vice The good folk who managed
these drives from their grandstand
seats never have been much con-
cerned with the validity OF the
testimony in any particular case.
They have been satisfied to throw
in their lot with the convenient
theory of lynch law. II the off,
Ger turned up in court with some
young woman quite obviously no
better than she should be, justice
was satisfied and the reformers
we're delighted.

The CorpOratiOn's Boss

Whatever may be the merits or dement's of the
decision of Judge jenkins in the youngstown Sheet
and Tube case, he makes one statement which could
be read with profit by many other judges and by all
corporation officers.
mo matter how powerful the corporation, how
extensive its property holdings or financial interests
its working and very existence even are subject to the
direction approval and will of the people, expressed
through government laws and courts" he pointed out
THE operations of corporation must, to repeat &C
cord with the standard of conduct held by its creator

Solution Easy to Find

T CAN think of no benefaction
Il that would do more to tighten
the universal load than the metric
system and scientifically arranged
calendar.
Why we should persist in the
clumsy, meaningless methods be-
queathed to us by people who
knew no better, I, for ore, can not
understand. Why we should hest
tate to make the necessary changes
now that we know how is even more
of mystery.
You just can't square such a
stupid, apathetic attitude with the
spirit Of progress which we pretend
to love and possess.
No wonder outsiders think we are
queer. No wonder they find it hard
to understand how we can build all
the machinery with such a system
of arithmetic, or keep such accurate
accounts with such a calendar.

Wave Mechanics

TINE new quantum theory has
Il brought with it a new theory
of atomic structure. This is known
as the Schroedinger atom. 1t is
based on the mathematical theories
known as Schroedinger wave me-
chanics.
1t is interesting to note that Elm
stein, in addition to developing his
own theory of relatively did much to
point out the Importance and de-
velop the implications of the guam
tum theory.
He made the bold suggestion in
1905 that it was necessary to dis
card the wave theory of light for
the quantum theory and this led to
formation Of the Bohr theory of the
atom.
Extensions of the Bohr theory Of
the atom we're made by Sommerfeld
and others by applying considera-
lions of the Einstein theory to it.
The new quantum theory of
Schroedinger, De Broglie, Heisen-
berg, and others represents an app
plication of the Einstein THEORY To
the quantum theory.

to hear that this has resulte

TWO BANDITS SLAIN
AS z TIP OFFICIALS.
Third Is Believed Dying as
Three Walk Into Trap
Inside Bank.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
GLENCROSS, S. OAK, July 29.-The
decision of two members of a robber
gang to quit the racket led yesterday
to the tipping off of a bank robbery and
the subsequent Staying of two robbers
and the probable fatal wounding of q
third.
Dewey County officials and officers of
the GlencrosS State Bank shot down
the three men so quickly that only one
had a chance to return their fire. His
four shots went wild.
The dead men we're George Anderson
of Timber Lake, S. OAK, and George
De Batin OF Yankton. The third man
is Melvin Scranton, former resident
of this community, believed dying in
Mobridge, S. Oak, hospital.
Two brothers, Arnold and Ed Kaiser
of Yankton, had joined the other three
when asked to help rob the bank.
Jokingly they agreed, but when they
found the others were in earnest they
looked for a way out. The only way
seemed to be to tip off authorities,
which they did.
Mrs p j. Schirber, wife of the
cashier of the bank, was alone when
the robbers entered. She gave them
the money they asked for. AS they left,
her husband, secreted in a side room,
opened fire. His first two shots killed
Anderson; outside, Sheriff Henry john
son killed De Batin, and Scranton, who
alone of the bandits returned the gun
fire, fell, probably mortally wounded.
