Political Judges

Just the mere chance that constitutional
venton would take the judiciary of this state out Of
partisan politics is worth your vote in favor of this
measure next Tuesday
Where voting machines are used, the question is
placed on the very top To vote in favor of the
measure pull first the party lever then turn down the
first lever of the two in the top row. above the
listing the Offices.
Where ballots are used separate ballots will be
furnished To vote in favor put cross for the Yes
line
If any argument were needed of the necessity Of
taking judges out of politics. proof needed That the
judges are partisan and forced to obey the demands of
party organizations and especially the present Repub
ncan organization it is furnished by the sickening cpl
sode of putting Judge Lockyear of the appellate court
on the radio
He is not a candidate. He was announced as
peader for the reelection of his associates the
pellate bench and Republican candidates for the
preme court.
The praise he gave to some of his associates was
deserved That especially is true of Judge Remy and
Judge Enoe His statement on quick decisions will
not be denied by any one conversant with the facts
But he did not stop there. In his closing appeal
he said Vote the entire Republican ticket"
This blanket Endorsement of the evils of the FL
field administration with its unSavory record his plea
for Coffinism in Marion county, shows the degrade
ton to which the state organization has dragged the
courts of the state and the humiliation to which it
puts its judges if they campaign reluctantly, or the
kind of judges party politics furnishes if they CAM
paign willingly.
OF course party organization that injects religion
into politics could not be expected to have respect for
courts or for the bench.
Vote for the constitutional convention as first
step toward dry-cleaning the judicial ermne of the
state.

Science Can Control Blood Making

featuring rate may be speeded UP
to such extent that it is possible tc
make a number of red blood cells far
beyond the usual requirements.
If the blood becomes too thick
with blood cells, more work is re-
quired on the part of the heart to
push the blood around the body.
The blood must be sent to every
part Of the body to maintain its
health and nutrition.
The white blood cells are in
creased in times of infection and
greatly lowered in certain diseases
Thus the number may vary from zoo
cells for each cubic millimeter OF
blood to 100000 cells for each
cubic millimeter.
The white cells are concerned with
defense of the body against germs
against the poisons developed by
germs, or by chemicals, and against
any foreign material.
Today the study of blood has be-
come one of the most technical OF
medical specialties, and actual
knowledge of the state of the blood
may mean the difference between
life and death in many cases.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

For instance, the man who first
described pernicious anemia in 1922
apparently never looked at the
blood, but concerned himself only
with the gross symptoms.
First record of a microscopic ex-
animation of the blood in disease
apparently was dated about 1915,
when an Englishman named Hughes
Bennett, and the great German,
Virchow, simultaneously described
the appearance of the blood in the
condition called leukgen1ia, dis
ease in which the manufacture of
the white blood cells runs wild.
Actually most of our modern
knowledge of the blood depends on
the fact that the great Enrich, who
first discovered salvarSan, began to
develop stains which are applied to
specimens of blood withdrawn from
a vein and dropped on slide, these
stains having the power to bring out
the various elements within the
blood cells.
Manufacture Of blood goes on con-
stantly in the human body. In some
diseases, such as pernicious anemia,
the destruction goes on rapidly.

Great Healer

A S far as we know, there isn't
IA any salve, or paste, or ONT
ment. They call time the great
healer, but he certainly isn't the
fastest of practitioners.
There's only this I can say: I
don't think we always give time
every cooperation. Nobody can
forget just by making a resolution
and saying, "I will forget" But
I've known myself and others to
hang on to memories that hurt.
1t even can be that the Illusion
of time will make a love or
friendship seem a great deal more
important than it really was.
I've a story about a princess who
was like that. Not a real princess.
She merely lived once upon time.
Her name was the Princess Fair
A-Day, and she fell in love with
Prince Robin of the Ruby Islands.
He went away to war. And the
scene was something like an act IN
a play. The prince happened to be
an amateur singer and he stood in
the middle of a rose garden undel
the moonlight and sang marching
songs of his army to her.
And then, from way on down the
river, the song came back. His
men were being ferried across to
the mainland. He went away and
two days later he was killed.
Five years after the death Of
Prince Robin of the Ruby islands.
the Princes Fair-A-Day married
King William. The prime minister
said she must. William wasn't quite
as tall as Robin, and he was a little
bit stouter. But as kings go, he was
really very attractive. He and the
princess got along very well. But
he never had sung tenor solo in
a rose garden under the moonlight.
He hadn't been killed in the war.
He wasn't the man she loved. She
kept saying that to herself a good
deal. I think she even limited as
much to William. And though roses
distressed her and brought back
tragic memories, she had them
planted in the garden under her
window.
Prince Robin had been dead lit
tie more than seven years when a
certain Christmas came around.
King William brought the princess
4 present.

smile spread over the face of the
little genie.

81 can do that. I am the slave Of
your whims."
He just had begun to go into
mist and to disappear when the
agonized cry of the Princess Fair
A-Day brought him back. "a
whim?" she kept saying. "a whim.
Is my sorrow through all these years
just Whim?"
Gust whin." said the genie. He
said it very firmly for a person only
three feet tall. "Then," said the
princess, in a curiously strained
voice, half sorrow, half release,

but he's only a little genie. There
are plenty of wishes too mighty for
him to carry out You must only
ask for little things-a new red dress
or bottle of perfume or something
like that. Whims, you see. It's a
WINNING ring and a very small
genie"
The princess was skeptical, but
the ring worked. She did get her
seslf gowns and even necklaces. The
genie was about three feet tall and
very respectful and anxious to please
the lady who wore the WINNING
ring.
Spring came along-late spring
and the princess was sitting alone
in her room in the palace. The
roses were early this year. Down
the street there was cafe, and the
orchestra was playing the marching
song of the Ruby Islanders.
People were dancing to it, but the
Princess Fair-A-Day was weeping.
She was remembering. Absent
nindedly she rubbed the WINNING
ring and there was a pop like a
f1ashlight photograph and the little
genie stood in front Of her.
Generally he didn't talk much.
He'd just say, "Your slave awaits
your commands" But this time he
noticed that the princess was crying,
and he asked, "Is there nothing I
can do?"
"There is something I want" she
said. "I know it's impossible, but
you've insisted"

Back 10 Nature

DUT though there is a conflict be
II tween science and art, accord
ing to DR.. Rusk, there is also much
in common.
"At bottom the various activities
of man support each other" he
says, land one of the most striking
points in the general development
of ideas in history has been the way
in which similar motifs have APP
peared in parallel lines of thoughts
and endeaVor.
often it is difficult or impossible
to assign priority to any field and
to tell from which the greatest in
fluence has spread, and yet it may
be stated in entire safety that the
sweeping and fundamental char
acter of the development of physical
science has profoundly influenced
every other realm of human &C
tivity.
1.-THE back to-nature movement Of
Copernicus, Calico, and Newton in
which natural phenomena were
taken at their face value by direct
experiment was closely paralleled by
the back o-nature movement of
Shakespeare and Michelangelo.
1T was the golden age of natural
ism in art, letters, and science who's
perpetuating influence is with
today, tempered only by movement
within movements which havt
grown up since then.
"In the last century the positivism
of science which began to accept
the view that knowledge of the
world we live in is limited to those
messages brought to the brain
through the gateways Of the five
senses, found its counterpart in the
impressionism of Manet and Monet
and the emphasis put on the value
of light and color.
''The attitude of the scientists had
reappeared in the pictures of the
impressionists and the emphasis on
the new meaning of light and color
came as the most important con-
tribution of the nineteenth century
to art"

Legal LawleSsness

In organizing the National Commission on Law
Observance and Law Enforcement, President Hoover
specified that it should study in addition to prohibi-
ton other subjects the highly important matter
of "Iawlessness by governmental law enforcing of
fcers"
This subject was rated with prohibition as the
most vital before the commission by members such
as Judge Mccormick Judge Kenyon and Chairman
Wickersham. Kenyon was named head of special
committee to make this investigation.
But for many months there has been little or moth
ing heard about this study. And there has been of
course, response to the request of the Scripps-
Howard editorial conference that the commission
study and report on the Mooney Billings case
Surely it is not possible for Kenyons committee to
report lawessness of law officials without incud-
ing the Mooney Billings case of the most flag
rant instances Of disregard for law on the part of
enforcing officers ever recorded in any civilized coun-
try
There has been no indication that the commission
has studied events in Massachusetts court rooms
which led up to the execution three years ago of
Sacco and Vanzet in the face of great protest that
the men had been victims of persecution.
There has been no assurance that the commission
will concern itself with the fate of the six men who
have been in Wala walla penitentiary ever since
the bloody ending of the American Legion parade in
In all three of these cases. responsible persons and
groups have charged that law dsregarded to OBJ
tain the conviction of men against whom public
opinion was inflamed.
A commission of President Wilson'S reported wears
ago that Mooney and Billings had been framed" by
officers of the prosecution and convicted on testimony
known to be perjured. For fourteen years this case
has challenged all our national ideals of Justice and
respect for lawful procedure.
Sacco and Vanzetti are dead but the belief of
many thousands of people that they were not justly
convicted will not die and until it is removed or its
causes corrected, respect for law must suffer.
The Centralia case has been reviewed newly by
the federal council of churches, which concluded that
the six IT. w. W. are paying the penalty for their
part in a tragedy the guilt for which is by no
means theirs alone" It's report criticised numerous
features of the legal procedure by which the men were
convicted
The Presidents commission can not fulfill the pur-
pose for which it created If it fails to give these
three cases careful consideration.

DR. RUSK says that it is impos-
~ sible to guess what the twenti-
eth century may hold.
I'm the last few years the study
of light has revealed more about the
nature of things to the scientist
than has any other story" he con-
tinues.
I'm art a similar emphasis has
been put on light and color, and in
forgetting about exact limitations
these impressionists and luminists
often have disclosed more about
the eternal significance of things
than any other predecessors.
To-day the theories Of relatively
and duanta are profoundly influ-
encing scientific and philosophic
thought, and we confidently may
expect art as the counterpart OF
science to reflect the spirit Of these
movements, but let us not expect
art to answer in the same language
and with the same tongue.
"The average artist would hear
with surprise or perhaps with alarm
that he is being influenced par
ticularly by that at once terrifying
and intriguing branch Of math-
ematics known as the four-dimen-
sional geometry of LobacheVski and
Riemann.
Nevertheless, it is true, for this
four dimensional geometry Of the
ticians has broken down
the last stronghold Of the abso-
lutists, who conceived that the
standards by which we Judge the
true and the false are absolute
rather than relative.
"The relativists have won. True
and false are relative terms and the
standards Of judgment Of art must
be relative, flexible and progress
sive; not absolute, rigid or static.

Republican, as Usual'
epublican, as usual"

Every appeal of Republican speakers
over the radio or in public meetings ends
with the plea to vote Republican, as usual"
There are many Republicans whom such
appeal ought to cause at least to pause long
enough to see how they have been trlcked
of their votes in the past by the same appeal
to loyalty to a name after the substance has
gone.
It is far cry from the party of the I'M
mortal Lincoln, or of Roosevelt, or any OF
the other great Presidents, to the party con-
troll of Indiana, which depends upon the ira
ditions left by these men to put into office
men who care nothing for the principles or
the ideals they advocated.
It now is well exposed that the name OF
the party was stolen by D. c. Stephenson,
through the creature of his manufacture, Ed
jackson, through an appeal to race and re-
lipious hate. The victory came not through
the votes of those who really followed this
notorious character, but through the votes OF
Republicans who obeyed that suggestion to
vote Republican, as usual" although the can
didates were not representative of the party
or it's fine traditions, but Of hate and chican-
cry and frauds.
That was the birth, also, of Cotfinlsm IN
this county, which now is understood so we'll
and for which, the people have paid so heav-
ily. 1t is understood here, because the IN
dependent citizens and the thoughtful Re-
publicans joined in driving these vicious
forces from the public school and the city
hall and this year will drive it from the
courthouse.
Every victory of this vicious system has
come from the unthinking voter who casts
his ballot by habit and not with judgment
as to the best interests of himself or the
state.
This year there is every reason to eX-
anime your ballot carefully and to discard
partisan traditions. impoverished farmers,
overburdened with taxes; the small home
owner with mounting taxes, the merchant
who sees disaster, the industrial worker who
is hard pressed, must know that some share
of his trouble comes from the misgovern-
ment and the high cost of machine control.
The state administration, admitting care
1essness, has been worse than careless. 1t
has squandered the peoples money while the
clouds of darkness lowered. 1t has, and this
is especially true of the office of Secretary
Fifeld, been political and inefficient and
wasteful.
This is not usual year. The real Re-
publican, who has reverence for the fine ira
ditions of his party, will think twice before
delivering his vote to continuation of
machine which pays small tribute to his in
telligence when it asks him to vote "as
usual"

"EROM time immemorial," the
4 Harverian lecturer, D. Lowell
Gulland. said, at has been recog-
nized that blood is essential to life,
but ever since man began to think
there seems to have been notion
that there was more in it than a
mere nutrient fluid"
The story of the gradual changes
of opinion Of mankind concerning
the nature of the blood is one of the
most fascinating histories in science.
1t involves all sorts of confused
ideas, attempts at magic, and ex-
traordinary theories, destroyed only
by the development of the micro
scope and our modern knowledge of
the blood.
1t is interesting to realize that
some of the formed elements in the
blood were discovered only within
the last 100 years, and that actual
knowledge of these formed elements
has been available only for the last
fifty years.
