The Democratic
Way
During the last few days
the Democrats have been
celebrating with much eclat
the anniversary of Andrew
Jackson. They can learn
much that they ought to
know this year from the
methods and the policies of
the Jacksonians, the most
consummate Of politicians, as
we'll as the best of patriots.
Primarily they were thor
oughly devoted to the inter-
ests of the people. That al
ways is the first essential to
the success of the democ-
racy. But their methods
made this devotion worth
while.
They believed, primarily,
in organization. They crvs-
talIized public opinion
through the m e ium of
trenchant pens of men who
were not afraid to fight in
every nook and corner of
the country. But they knew
that unorganized public
opinion is ineffective in a
fight a gainst organized
greed; and thus they usherpd
in, for the first time, the
modern practical politician,
perfected for the first time
militant fighting groups in
every community, and in
sisted on harmony within
the ranks on the essentials.
And they did something
more; they provided that
there should be no truce for
single day.
They made a place in the
organized army for every
man-from the business man
to the humblest worker on
the wharfs-because that is
the democratic way.
And having organized
companies and regiments in
every quarter, the war board
in Washington furnished
them with the arms and am
munition with which to fight.
They insisted that everyone
should use the same ammu-
milton and shoot in the same
direction - and that in the
direction of the foe.

"Dolla~ Diplomacy"

Comes Home
"Dollar diplomacy" has
frequently been denounced
and criticised, but few Amer
leans have thought it affected
their own pocketbooks and
consequently most have been
acquiescent. Now that we
find $815, 100000 in Latin
American loans are in de-
fault, the Americans in pos
session Of these bonds realize
that dollar diplomacy"
comes home to them.
It appears from evidence
submitted before a Sena-
torial committee that in the
case of one of these loans
to Bolivia the experts of the
Department of Commerce
advised against it on the
ground that it was not a
safe loan; and that the State
Department brushed this re-
port aside and gave it's ap-
proval to the loan. With this
approval Of the American
Government, the bankers
floating the loan had a per-
feet selling point. Senator
Carter Glass does not use

An Amazing
Attitude

Up until Friday Congress
had difficulty in getting
copy of the report of the
Wickersham Committee, the
expenses of which were
paid by the people, on the
Mooney case. This part of
the report had been lifted
out and concealed. Mr..
Wickersham apparently was
responsible for the reason he
gives:
"It does not seem to be
in the public interest that
it should be printed"
This was an amazing atti-
tude. Why was it not in
the public interest for the
public to have the facts, as
this committee, financed by
the public, found themf
Was there something shock
ing in the report? Was
some one or some agency
being protected? Was there
anything crooked in the
Mooney case? Did the
committee find there is

tined to failure That hostile judgment can be dis
counted But even its friends are disappointed
The truth is that the league has not lived up to
its promise That remains true even after due allow
ance is made for the nonmembership of two of the
largest and most important nations-the United
States and Russia.
Apologiss for the league driven to list achieve
ments of a secondary nature, important but over
Swallowed by the larger issues evaded by the league
Most friends of the league confess disappointment
that it has not led faster and farther toward the
goal OF disarmament, peaceful settlement of major
political disputes and reconciliation of basic eco
nonc conflicts which cause war
But it is possible to qualify this criticism The
faults Of the league inherent sins of
mission and omission in justice can not be blamed on
the league organization
The blame, rather, is with the big powers which
dominate the league. In virtually every emergency
they have prevented the league from taking action
which would interfere with their selfish interests
Two grave issues before the league now are cases
in point. Disarmament is blocked and Germany
driven back toward junker militarism because
chiefly, Great Britain and France are unwilling to
sacrifice their overwhelming military and naval supe-
riority or that of their satellites
So with the far eastern crisis The smaller ma
tons Of the league have tried in vain to apply the
league machinery to Japan as a treaty and covenant
violator and aggressor.
Always France and Great Britain move in at the
crucial moment with some subterfuge to sidetrack
action. Through the powers control of the council
they perpetuate their dictatorship over the league
Obviously, the league not stand still Either
it will continue to drift down hill, or it will drive
upward There is little hope of saving unless the
small nations democratize it sufficiently to over
rule the big powers questions of armament and
Imperialism.
The United States government, with all it's many
faults has tried heroicay during the year to CO.
operate with the league for world limitation of arma-
ments and for preservation of treaties in the far east
The only tangible result to date is that the United
States has been put into a dangerous position of
isolation by the big powers Unless the league can
change its course soon the time will come when the
American people will decide that such one-sided CO.
operation is too costly.

The Utility Issue

Most important of all the issues Of the state cam
paign is that Of rigid control of public utilities
AT present these utilities are practically bevond
all regulation charging what they please and only
occasionally receiving slap on the wrist from
commission whose membership is at least acceptable
to the utility lobbyists
Under the political influence Of the insults and
the Others the commission has always accented the
utility viewpoint
IN times Of high prices of commodities and labor
the utilities have charged rates TO bring return
on the cost Of reproducing their plants.
In times of depression these high valuations have
been permitted to stand as a rate base
The excessive charges by public utilities amount
10 almost as much the entire tax bill of the state
Not content with foraging in the fields where
they are in control the utilities have exercised tris
oction over plants owned by cities in order that the
contrast between these municipality owned plants and
tne private operators might not be too striking
In his formal opening of his campaign for the
governorship, Paul McNutt has taken bold and
frank stand
He has platform for control of utilities that
is Endorsed by those students of city affairs who wish
to bring about some justice for the people
He pledges himself to regulation of holding COM
panies the trick through which the insult interests
took away hundreds of millions of dollars from m
vestors and under which the insults and other
utilities charge for fictitious services and excessive
prices for supplies
He declares that the present administration of
regulatory laws is unsatisfactory. He pledges new
members OF the commission who are not picked by
utility lobbyists but will represent the people,
He pledges himself to laws that will make it pos
slole and easy for cities to either buy utilities or
build new plants widening the circle of public own
ership, which is the final solution for the problem
That makes the position of candidate McNutt
clear He declares for the people
1t would be fine if his opponent took as equally
vigorous stand and meant it. ANY less vigorous
program can only work to the advantage of McNutt
The people are tired of utility robberies either
through raids their pocket books by extortonate
rates or on their savings by insult holding company
securities
The state is in fair way to lose its satirical
appelation of Insullana and again become Indiana

A Wage Cut Postponed

Fortunately President Hoover has advised the rail-
ways to defer their demand for further wage cuts.
Railway executives have not replied to the admin
istratons suggestion but the chances that they
will heed the advice.
Leaving out of consideration the strong political
phasesfor Hoover is up for reelection, railway work
ers demanded his help in combating the wage
sacrifice requested of them and million and half
votes and not to be dsregarded-the Pres
idents action is important.
The hope Of Hoover and every one is that bust
ness will be better when the present 10 per cent
duction from the railway wage scale ends next Jan
uary. If that hope is fulfilled Hoover, because he
has asked this postponement, necessarily will use
his influence against the cut.
If better times come with the new year, Hoover
apparently will do all he to help maintain rail-
way pay scales so that returning purchasing power
will not be injured. That is intelligent

The Mooney Report

Private citizens are going to do what the United
States senate should have done months ago-publsh
the report on the Mooney and Billings cases made
to the Wickersham commission and first suppressed
by it.
The report will be available through the American
Civil Liberties Union for small price.
General knowledge of the facts in the Mooney
and Billings cases alone is necessary to insure general
indignation over the way the two men were con-
victed on manufactured evidence and to provoke
general demand for their release.
1t perhaps is for this that reactionares in
the administration and congress have tried to keep
from the public the authoritative report prepared by
eminent attorneys, far enough away from the case
in both time and space to regard the evidence with
uncolored judgment.
Americans as long as they believe in American
institutions will repudiate the doctrine that men
shall be made to spend their lives in JAIL on framed
evidence, because they WERE or might again be-
troublesome labor leaders.

serious poisoning by this substance.
Another method in common use
which will remove the hair, but not
permanently, is the use of wakes
which are spread on the skin soft
and which are then pulled off after
the wax hardens.
When the wax is pulled off, the
hair comes out. This, of course, may
be associated with the possible dan
ger of destruction of the skin. In
most instances, because the hair
roots are not destroyed, the hair re-
turns.
There are also such methods as
the use Of depilatories of chemical
character which burn off the hair,
and the use of the punice stone
method, which involves cutting of
the hair at skin level and then con-
slant rubbing with a fine punice
stone.
This method tends to coarsen the

only 20-some years younger than you are, you can

Now while this is only one mans opinion, it is an
opinion with which many parents agree.
1t is a mistake to postpone too long the JOY OF a
family. BY doing so. sometimes puts of forever
the fulhllment of life And the best plea for parent

you then not likely to take your children too
seriously Thus they escape many foolish restrictions
and you escape many foolish anxietes.
Some Of the finest youngsters in the world belong
to immature couples Who according to the neghbors,
do not have enough to direct family In most
instances you will find that these so-caled in
their children and this is actually the best way Of
getting along
THE woman who feels she knows everything there

to make tragic errors with her Maturity often

Children thrive best where hght-heartedness reigns
They love haphazard existence. certain splendid

Artist S Palette

IN a nearby cave, the Tarte cave.
4 Russell reports finding traces of
Aurignacean industry.
1.-TWO layers of artifacts were
found. but the form of the uuartzite
articles was limited by the poor
quality of the material and no par
ticular form was recognizable" Rus
sell tells.
They may have been made in
the nearby workshop. The pos
sibility is suggested that even the
cave man had his cheap and his ex-
pensive artifacts. The Tarte ma
terial consists mostly of crude chop
pers and scrapers, stones retouched
on one side only.
In some cases stones apparently
were used as tools without any
human adaptation.
Perhaps the most interesting ar
ticle was picked up on the floor of
the cave and is believed to have
been the palette of some Aurigna-
cean artist.
1t is a Clearly broken half of a
quartzite pebble, the fiat surface Of
which is coated thickly in red
ochre."
Russell is devoting his attention
mainly to the cave of Marsoulas.
where two levels of culture have
been found, one Aurignacean and
one belonging to the later Magda-
lenean period, the time when the
celebrated animal paintings were
made on cave walls.

Beautiful Work

THE succeeding period in which
Il men made tools by grinding is
known as the Aurignacean period.
1t marked an advance in technique,
but for the time was a step back
ward artistically.
During the Solutrean period,
pieces of flint were faxed beauti-
fully on both sides to produce
sharp-cutting edges. The ancient
workers made spearheads, scrapers,
saws, daggers and knives.
Russell reports that he made
twenty-one soundings in the forest.
Below level of humus varying
from about sixty centimeters to
more than a meter in thickness,
was a layer fifty centimeters thick
consisting of quartzite pebbles and
flint nodules of poor quality, tightly
packed with EARTH" he reports.
This area had been quarried super
flcially from the surface.
"Artifacts and debris of manufac-
ture were found in this level, as
we'll as in the lower part of the hui
mus. In one sounding a consider
able quantity of flints was found,
where the quarry layer appeared to
have been dug into deeper than
elsewhere.
The stone had been thrown aside
to make a cuplike depression, with
borders convered by only few
centimeters of humus.
Despite the extent of the work
shop, the yield of the station is
meager and the proportion of
worked f1ints and finished tools is
only about Is per cent of the
whole"

Western Mind Scarcely Can
Grasp Idea Of Hol0 Gandhi
Can Triumph Merely By
Threnteninn to Stnrne.
SAYS

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-To west
IN ern minds, the triumph of Ma
hatma Gandhi seems unreal and
incomprehensible. How a little old
man could overthrow one of the
sternest traditions OF Hinduism and
cause the British empire to change
its plans merely by threatening to
starve himself to death is quite be-
yond the rationalism of occidental
thinking.
Not that peculiar sources of in
spiration are lacking in this age Of
traffic cops and efficiency experts,
as is illustrated by Aimee Semple
Mcpherson and the eighteenth
amendment, but that we have
trained ourselves to believe that
great results demand great move
mentS.
Such idea contradicts the record
of human progress, whether in the
east, or in the west, but we fondle
it as a by-product of democratic
philosophy, defying history in a
hopeless effort to convince ourselves
that the voice of God is to be found,
not in the prophet, genius, or leader,
but in the voice of multitudes.
Mass thinking, as we call it, has
come to play mighty part in
human affairs, according to our con-
ception, with individualism slowly
fading out of the picture.
We point to Soviet Russia as an
unanswerable proof, just as though
the tomb of Lenin had not become a
shrine and just as though there
could be a Soviet Russia without the
guidance Of a Lenin, or some other
masterful mind.

deposits in the pores and gives an
unsightly appearance.
The best authorities do not rec
ommend plucking the hairs, for the
reason that this may alter the root
position in relationship to the shaft
ofsthe hair and the operator finds
it difficult to locate the position of
the root from the angle of the hair.
This may require several appli-
cations of the electric needle before
the hair finally is destroyed.
The question often asked is
whether there are any harmful eff
fects from the use of the electric
needle.
DR.. Agnes Savill of En6land, who
says that there are occasional cases
in which there is pigmenting after
the needle has been used.
Hairs with thick roots, strong
hairs growing in soft moles, and
hairs plucked out often are likely
to evade' destruction and return.

Most Affect of PennIa

TINE "untouchables" constitute
i the most abject, despised,
downtrodden, hopeless class of hui
man beings, not only in India, but
on earth. They have had no
friends among one hundred genera :
tons of Hindus.
The British government would
have ignored their condition ana
their rights, if by so doing, a con-
stitution satisfactory to other
classes in India could have been
framed. Gandhi, and Gandhi alone,
came to their rescue-a shriveled,
bald-headed wreck of man, with
out power, or prestige, as we rate
them, but with that peculiar, COM
pelling influence which emanateS
from a life of devotion and self
sacrifice.
He is nothing but poverty
stricken mendicant, according to
our standards, half-mad preacher,
an object of charity, who has
given up about everything that we
hold essential to civilized life. Most
of our unemployed would consider
themselves neglected by society if
obliged to eat his food, wear his
clothes and sleep on his bed.

not take the risk of allowing Gan
dhi to die, while the British gov
eminent trembles at the thought of

The strangeness we discover in
this episode hinges largely on the
fact that we have turned our backs
on certain age-old truths, and have
tried to make ourselves believe that
human nature has changed because
men have learned to make and use

Shocks Our Propriety

~ANDHI does not fit our ideas
VI of how big business should be
developed and made to pay divi-
dends, or how age-old habits should
be changed by statute.
1t shocks our sense Of propriety
to think of a great leader as dressed
in loin cloth and dining on goats
milk. Like Carlyle, we find it i'm
possible to visualize naked judge
on the bench. Yet of all people on
earth, we claim to be freest of
superstitions and symbols.
A Gandhi appeals to us as COM
pletely out Of date, if not semi
barbaric, yet Gandhi comes near
er to touching the souls of men
than any of our doctrinnaires.
In one sense, this man has re-
verified to the primitive, but in an
other he has risen above the barri-
ers of custom and the smoke screens
of modern technicality.
At any rate, he has done for
the 100000 "untouchables" of
India what no man, or group of
men, has been able to do in the last
thousand years, and he has done it
by breaking the will of 100,000,000
high caste HinduS.
