POWER TRUST
FIGHT NORRIS

Coming on the heels of the rev.
elation that the Republican nation
al committee through Treasurer
Mutt and Executive Director Lucas
made a secret attack on Sen. Nor
ris, leader of the war on the pow
er trust, in the Nebraska election
this year, the dismissal of these
two key defenders of public prop
erty is the more significant. Mutt
who furnished the secret fund of
$4,000 to Lucas for secret attack
on Norris and possibly others, has
for 20 years been connected with
the Electric Bond & Share Co.,
backbone of the power trust. AT
one time Mutt made $2,500,000 on
a stock watering deal of Electric
Bond & Share; at another time he
received a commission of $259, 0OC
from the same source. He has long
been a director of the corporation

that Mutt contributed $4,000 anC

.D|CTATORS RULE
BEST, SAYS BUTLER
Columbia u. Head DepIoreS
Poor Leaders Picked
by Democracy.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 24.-Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University, believes that de-
mocracy has placed midgets in the seats
Of the mighty while relationships have
brought to authority and power men of
lar greater intelligence, far stronger
character and far more courage.
Addressing the student body at the
opening exercises of the university yes
terday, he said that of the 26 Presidents
since James Madison no more than five
or six represented the best in American
character and intelligence as personified
in the first four Chief Executives Of
the Republic
Dictatorships in which power and au-
thority have been seized by an out
standing personality who commanded
the loyal support of some compact and
highly organized group, he said, have
produced a Cromwell, Napoleon, a
Mussolini, Lenin and Stain.
1T is rather startling" he added,
"for convinced believers in democracy
to observe that this latter system APP
pears to bring into authority and power
men of far greater intelligence, far
stronger character and far more cour-
age than does the system of election"
OF % prime ministers in England
since 1927 not more than eight will be
accorded distinguished excellence, in
tellectual and moral, by history, in DR..
Buffers opinion. In Germany, he said,
none of the successors of Bismarck APP
preached him in stature of intellect
and capacity for public service: not
more than S of the 40 premiers of
France will survive the test that is
supposed to apply to the Presidents Of
the United States. the prime ministers
of Great Britain and to the chancellors
Of Germany.
"Just now" he added, there are two
men in Great Britain. Macdonald and
Snowden, who are giving an exhibition
Of that intellectual and moral power
and courage which not only constitute
greatness, but adorn it.
THAT system of social organization
and control and that system of educa-
ton Is futile failure which cannot
discover excellence and exalt excellence.
Why are our midgets so often in the
seats Of the mighty?"
