Are you willing to be owned and ruled and robbed
by group Of utility Adventures who have capitalized
your necessities for their profit?
That is the simple question to be answered before
you give any support to the very necessary crusade
to obtain just rates for water and lights
Very many citizens are afraid of the gigantic
power of these organizations for larceny Very many
afraid of reprisals. They know how ruthless
greed be. They know how far reaching is the
organization for plumber.
The facts are very plain. The holding company
for the electric light company, by the one expedent
of buying coal from its own mines at from so to 10
cents ton above market prices, robs the people of
this city of several hundreds of thousands Of dollars
a year.
The water boy for Indianapolis, Clarence Gest,
took out $1225000 in dividends last year on an alleged
investment of five millions. He takes A cents out of
every dollar tribute and he contributes nothing but
the ownership of the common stock.
But these concerns have their agents who control
politicians and political parties They control legis-
latures. The public service commission makes no ges-
ture in the direction Of justice.
1t remains for determined and organized citizen
ship to fight for its own rights.
Only those who still have faith in America and it's
traditions of justice will participate The slaves and
the mercenaries will not join.
What class are you in?

The Peace Caravan

Peace has its paraGes, its drama, its victories
as we'll as war. Four months ago auto caravan
of women set out from Los Angeles to test the extent
of enthusiasm in this country for total and universal
disarmament.
Today they arrive in Washington with impressive
proof of this enthusiasm to lay before the President
The women drove 10000 miles, visiting 125 cities
in twenty-five states Governors and mayors greeted
Them signed the petition they BORE and arranged for
them to hold public meetings. The journey ends with
$4,000 signatures on the petition.
Washington will not be Indifferent to those $4,000
signatures 1t will reaze-because it is used to keep
ing an eye popular sentiment-that if $4,000 per-
sons in half the states OF the Union voluntarily signed
a petition for total and universal disarmament, an
overwhelming number of persons in the entire coun-
try must want disarmament, at least real reduc-
ton of ornaments.
desperate world is in the proper mood to listen
to such pleas today. The Women's international
League for Peace and Freedom organizers OF the dis
armament caravan, seeks idealsitc end, but, as
matter of fact the course they propose also prac-
teal way out of the worlds economic difficulties.
With women urging peace because it is right, and
men turning to it because 1t pays, surely decisive
weapon against war be forged at the coming
Geneva conference.

Heaven for Hobby Mem

A S one IMMERSED in the intrica-
L n cies of yacht racing, I never
could tell whether the defender or
the challenger was leading. And
on certain occasions the boat which
crossed the finish line became the
posseSsor of second place after the
time allowance had been computed.
This form of mathematical check
uptook most of the JOY out of these
contests. To the average man the
horse, the man, or the boat which
finishes first must seem the winner.
and the veto Of fractions and fig
ures is always denting influence.
But, as I have said, as long as
Upton liked it he was wise to carry
en- his course with passionate in
tensity. There remains always in
my mind some conviction of sur
vival. And sooner even now-Sir
Thomas may well gain one Of two
rewards.
The thing he sought is possibly
his for the asking in a disembodied
community. Grand this seems to
me more likely-he has come to
realize that it really didn't matter
very much, after all. And in either
theory he can find that peace and
contentment which we all desire,

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Autumn 1altS Infantile Paralysis

is more severe than it was in the
portions mentioned.
In New York City during the
present epidemic, more than 10 per
cent of the cases have occurred in
children under 5 years of age.
Few cases have occurred in chill
dren over Is years of age, which is
an indication of the way in which
the general public has been i'm
munized against this disease from
some sort of exposure.
When the blood of most human
beings is examined, it is found that
they have in the blood some sub
stance which is opposed to infantile
paralysis.
Thus the idea has arisen among
scientific observers that the sub
stance which causes this disease
spreads to many people causing lit
tie or no disturbance, but that in a
small percentage it gets into the
spinal cord and attacks the tissues
OF the spinal cord, affecting the spe-
cial nerves that control muscular
action.
For this reason the disease is
called anterior, which means the

front; poliomyelitis, which refers to
the nerve tissue that is attacked.
1t has been quite we'll established
that the infection is spread from
one person to another by the excre-
tionS and secretions of the human
body. The living material which
causes this disease may survive out
side the body for a considerable
amount of time.
All that we can do to prevent the
spread of this disease is to keep
children fairly well isolated during
the period when it is prevalent.
1t has been shown that children
in institutions who are carefully
prevented from coming into contact
with outside children or people
during an epidemic are not likely
to develop the disease.
During the summer months if
children are kept at summer camps
constantly and no visitors allowed,
they are not likely to be attacked
by infantile paralysis.
The coming of visitors from vari-
Gus places to visit the children in
the camp may bring the disease
among them.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

T1LLIONS OF veterans" writes Correspondent
AVA Herbert Corey, would find relief in another
war. The wife would get the monthly paw there
would be pension to look forward to- as we'll as in
Surance adjustments and there would be one more
good time with the old gang"
Well, perhaps Mr.. Corey is right But if millions
of our veterans feel that way about it. they have
exactly the same sort of intelligence that would
actuate small boy to set fire to the school house
and burn up teacher and pupils SO that he might
gain respite from his lessons.
Mr.. Corey assumes, in this article at least that
the next war will be exactly like the last and that
bellgerent Americans would merely embark shouting
for foreign while business men STAYED home
and raked in the money.
He forgets presumably that democracy already has
been saved once. He speaks of our prosperity during
those days but evidently fails entirely consider the
state of the Belgian refugee and the French peasant
who, at the same time, were placed in a somewhat
less enticing situation
VXTOULDN'T it be fine, and quite worthy of reck-
wv less materialiSm to hava another nice bloody
war; but to have it, Of course, the other side of
the world that might reap the benefits of pros
perity while other nations had homes swept away
civilians slaughtered and starved, and fields made
barren?
But suppose that this time the enemies came over
riddled our beautiful churches with cannon balls
gassed children, ruined our crops, and laid waste
our lovely land
That would be quite another side of the picture
for the veterans to consider, would it not and no
such lovely picnic for us as a good many people
seem to consider the last conflict.
To talk Of war bringing back prosperity is like
discussing the wisdom of destroying a fine income
producing property to get the insurance money.

Science Is Elevated

MIND reaches its highest crea-
1VA tive work in the creation OF
values, says General SHUTS.
Great as is the physical uni
verse which confronts us as a given
fact" he says, mo less great is our
reading and evaluation of it in the
world Of values, as seen in language,
literature, culture, civilization, soci-
ETY. and the state, law, architecture,
art, science, morals and religion.
Without this revelation of inner
meaning. and significance the exter-
nal physical universe would be but
an immense empty shell or crumpled
surface.
1.-THE brute fact here receives its
meaning, and new world arises
which gives to nature whatever
significance it has.
GAS against the physical configur-
atoms of nature we see here the
ideal patterns of wholes freely Gre
ated by the human spirit as home
and an environment for itself"
General SHUTS ranks science with
art and religion among these hui
man values.
I'm its selfess pursuit Of truth.
in its vision of order and beauty"
he says, lit partakes of the quality
of both. More and more it is be-
ginning to make a profound esthetic
and religious appeal to thinking
people.
Indeed it may be said fairly
that science is perhaps the clearest
revelation of God to our age.
Science at last is coming into its
own as one Of the supreme goods of
the human race

0ppOrtuniStS, All

XXTE are opportunists, every last
w one of us, and we have to be.
opportunism is the price Of prog
reSs. The only way we could create
stationary laws and permanent
policies would be through the abso-
Lutte prohibition of discovery, inven-
ton and Improvement.
We won't do that. We want
change not only for the kick we
get out of it, but because of an in
stinctive realization that it repre-
SentS our destiny.
That being SO, why not admit
that one change leads to another,
that law is follw-up and that
public policy is, and always has
been, determined by Specialization of
private achievement?

Catch the Crooks

Judge Chamberlin has saved the state
from government by fraud and forgery.
That was the real meaning of legal bat
tie to keep off the statute books provision
that would have taken away from Indian
apolis and other cities the right to control
bus lines and give the power to the public
service commission.
The practical damage Of such law, great
as it might have been, was small as con-
trasted with the possible effect of making it
possible for law to be written for the people
by crooks, passed by fraud and sealed with
corruption.
The Judge found that the evidence of I'M
disputed facts was that the document signed
by, the Governor had never been passed by
the state senate.
The matter must not stop with the court
decision against this fraudulent and spurious
bit of attempted domination of the people.
The crooks who perpetrated the frauds,
every official who participated in it, every one
who showed any apathy in uncovering the
frauds must be put in the penitentiary or
driven out of public life forever,
The prospective beneiciaries Of the fraud
are easily identified. The railways and sub
urban lines are in competition with BUSES.
They own some of the BUSES. Inmany cities,
notably Muncie and Indianapolis there are
mayors who still believe that the people have
rights.
Dale over in Muncie and Sullivan of In
danapolis protested against the invasion Of
their rights. These established utilities felt
much safer with a utility-owned public
service commission than under these mayors.
But that does not locate the public Off
Gals who lent themselves to this act of
treason-for it is treason as we'll as fraud.
Any one who robs the people of their
rights to rule themselves destroys the gov
eminent itself. Any one who helps to write
law by fraud or corruption deserves the
fate of traitor during times of war. He is
much more dangerous and vicious.
The Judge found the facts clear There
were only few legislators or clerks who
could have participated. An alert prosecutor,
by a process of elimination, should easily 10
cate all possibilities. The penitentiary and
not legislative halls need their presence.
In the meantime, while prosecutors are
hunting for the crooks, the public will await
statement from Governor Leslie as to why
he signed this particular document so hastily
that it could not be returned to the legisla-
tive chambers and why it was sent, with sig
nature attached, to the encouragement for
approval instead of following the usual
course of having such approval given IN adj
vance of signing.
The law has proved strong enough to pro-
tect the people against legislation by fraud.
Is it strong enough to punish the traitors?
