A Breach of Faith

Newspaper readers and radio listeners may be a
bit puzzled by the exchange and unpleasantres Tues
day night between Senator Carter Glass and Sec
rotary of Treasury Mills concerning the manner in
which Mills had obtained an advance copy of Glass
speech This is to explain.
1t Is the common custom of public officials and
other public speakers, from Presidents on down. to
supply newspapers with advance copies of important
speeches. This is to enable the newspapers to set
the type and otherwise handle the news of the speech
as effectively as possible.
In accepting such advance copies, the newspapers
pledge themselves not to reveal the contents until
the time specified by the speaker. This means that
the newspaper neither will publish the speech before
the agreed time allow any one outside the Office
to it,
1t is a event when newspaper breaks faith
in this matter
Secretary Mills, of course, is completely familiar
with this practice. He is accustomed to supplying
newspapers with advance copies of his own speeches
and with official treasury reports.
He has been protected throughout his public life
by this newspaper code. He should be one of the
last of public men to take advantage of a breach in
that code. But he did just that
1t made Carter Glass rather angry And likewise
1t disguised every honorable newspaper man.

Prejudice and SANDER

In the closing days of the campaign, pre-
JUDGE and SANDER are the two methods be-
ing used in desperate effort to re-elect
Senator James E. Watson and to place in the
state capitol a Governor who will listen to
the voice of the plunderbund.
The state chairman selected by Senator
Watson to command his party in Indiana
takes responsibility for the monstrous at
tempt to turn every pulpit into a soap box
and every prayer meeting into a mob.
His letter to the clergymen of the state
was based upon lie.
1t declared that the forces of the church
were needed to prevent a return of the
saloon, to be used of course in behalf of the
whole Republican ticket. 1t even asked that
the clergymen set aside day of prayer to
entice divinity itself into the support of this
lie.
The truth, of course, is that no political
party and no candidate upholds the saloon
and that candidates and platforms of all
parties are definitely pledged against such
a solution for the problem of Kidding the
country of the racketeer and the speakeasy.
That attempt to definitely put the
churches into partisan politics is trick that
the present rulers of the party learned from
d. C.. Stephenson and have not yet forgotten.
1t worked once They are stupid enough to
believe it can work now.
The other statewide activity is the pub
LEGATION of ISLANDERS against Paul McNutt,
the Democratic candidate for Governor. The
paid advertisements attempt to paint him as
a CRATER, foe of labor, the lowest type of
citizen. The whispered ISLANDERS are of such
character that only the poison squad dares
to utter them.
Both the paid advertisements and the
whispered SANDERS are vicious and untrue.
Paul McNutt has been hOnored by the
service men of this country with their high
est office. For years he has been the dean
of the law school at the state university.
Had there been any truth in any one of
the charges, most Of which emanate from
the hirelngs of the power companies of the
state, he would have been exposed and driven
from the state university long ago.
The crime of Paul McNutt is that he
challenges the rule of the powers which have
thrived under Jackson and Leslie.
His crime is that he has promised to clean
house, especially in the public service COM
mission. aN AZ
His crime is that these agents of special
privilege believe that he can not be bought
when in office nor influenced by the agents
of these concerns which prey upon the public.
The answer of every decent citizen to
these Infamous methods should be vote for
Frederick Van Mugs and Paul McNutt.

Just Every Day Sense
BY Mrs. walter Ferguson

TRUE stories of Indians seldom have been written,
Il because they were told from the white mans
point of view. But John Joseph Mathers, himself a
member OF the tribe has created an accurate faithful
and necessarily poignant saga of the Osages.
The book, "Wah-kon-tah' is distinct contribu-
ton to Americana That it has special merit is proved
by the fact that is the November choice of the Book
of the Month Club It is fitting that it should have
been published by the University of Oklahoma Press.
If it gives to men and women everywhere a better
understanding of the Indian character, it will be
more than book. 1t will be ameSsage.
To those who have spent their lives among them
and count myself in this fortunate clan-the mis-
conception about Indians is one of the most colossal
of white mans ignoranceS. Perhaps Mr.. Mathews
tale will diSpel some of that.
For it is not fiction. Its every incident is true.
Notes bequeathed him by the most famous of Usage
agents Major Laban Miles uncle of President Hoover,
form the basis for this simple yet sweeping compre-
hensive tale
LII the nuances of the prairie as the Indian sees
N it. are here; all the changing moods of forest
and stream, and all the Red Mans reverence for
nature and the veritieS of life Nor has 1t been
written in any spirit of vengeful bitterness.
AS there was no rancor in the heart OF Major
Miles toward his countrymen who less idealistic
than himself so there is in this book which, by
of its lack of emotion its plain recital of cold
facts damns the avarice and destructveneSs Of our
more than a thousand imprisoned diatribes
could do. :,
Since our idea of helping others usually takes the
form of appropratng their lands changing their Gus
toms and religion and shaping their lives to plan,
we have succeeded in "civilZing" the Indian.
And we thereby have destroyed something noble in
America For splendid he was he travels the road
to oblivion. His kind is disappearing fast from the
earth, and his virtues are dying with him.
Read this book and see whether you think we have
preserved for the ages that which is good whether
we have killed spiritual attribute which never
again can create.

MutabIe Mabel

What can we do to please Mabel Walker WILLIE
brandt?
Like some others of her
uncertain, coy,Aand hard to please"-she has us
guessing.
When she was stern assistant attorney general
in charge of liquor enforcement, the country went
to Jail for her. When she turned bacchante as coun-
sci for the California grapemen, the country winked
one governmental eye to allow her clients to make
and vend their wares.of 20 per cent alcoholic content
1t even loaned her winners some $20,0o0,Ooo of
federal farm board funds Finally, when they-and
others-demanded legalized light wines the country
agreed and both parties declared the dry law
failure.
Still she complains. In San Diego the other day
she confessed herself disappointed" in her party
and in her friend, Mr. Hoover for having advocated
revision.
I'm spite of the seeming unpopuarty of the state
ment" she announced at is my view that the eight
eenth amendment can be enforced, should be, and
ultimately will be, obeyed."
It's too bad but it looks like Mabel will have to
stay disappointed this time.

chance thinking of the Democratic dean, Senator
Tom Walsh, who uncovered the crooks of the Harding
administration while Herbert Hoover, as a member
Of Hardings cabinet, remained silent?
Is he thinking of Senators Costigan and Hull, who
remained true to the ideal of scientific tariff which
he betrayed? Is he thinking of Senator Wagner,
whose unemployment relief plan was buried at the
White House?
Or when ne warns the country that the Republic
an progressives supporting Roosevelt are wreckers
government does he actually believe that his Grundy
and Ware allies are worthy Of the public respect given
Norris and La Toilette.
We hold no brief for the Democratic party It has
its shysters, its demagogs its reactionaries ike any
other party.
But most of the Democratic leaders surrounding
Roosevelt are so much bigger than Hoovers old guard
that the President should blush when he compares
them.

Indians Do Not Use Indian Walk

lumbia university and the American
Museum of Natural History.
Among the other studies made by
this expedition were examinations of
the feet and of the gait Of Central
African savages.
The term, angle of gait" is ap-
piled to the habitual position or
angle assumed by each foot to the
line of motion as person walks.
Because of the common belief
that the Indian walks with feet
straight, that is called "the Indian
walk"
Nevertheless, examination of the
feet and of the gait of the savages
indicated that they vary in the
angle of gait and that very few in
deed walk with the feet straight.
Investigations of college students
by several authorities show that few
if any, tend to walk with the feet
absolutely straight.
People toe in or toe out, the vast
majority of them adopting the lat
ter form. Out of lat savages ex-
amined, only ten toed in.
Some people toe out more with
one foot than with the other.

Another Hoover Hoax


If the Republicans defeated next Tuesday,
there will be no brains left to run the country, &C
cording to the Hoover hoax.
Answers to this one are easy For mediocrity the
Democrats could not we'll compete with the Hoover
cabinet of the lot Doak and perhaps others
below average and of the two moderately competent
men sitmson and Mitchell the latter is a former
Democrat.
If the Democrats are such governmental weaklings,
how does it happen that Hoover picked Democrat,
Pomerene, to head the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration which the President says saved the nation
Why has Hoover-with a small army of regular
Republican diplomats abroad, including the
great Andrew Mellon-chosen Democrat Norman
Davis as special envoy to conduct governments
most difficult and important negotiations in Europe?
If Hoover were not hysterical in the face of
probable defeat perhaps he could recall that his
departed popularity and efficiency were earned while
he was Democrat, serving under Democratic
President.
If he were not now blinded by the fear with which
he is trying to poison other minds perhaps he might
remember that certain Democratic leaders who served
brilliantly with him under Wilson still part of
the Democratic party.
And if he thinks that they may have lost some
OF their intellectual power, he might read the cam
pagn speeches delivered Tuesday night by former
Secretary OF War Baker and former Secretary Of
Treasury Glass.

tenn and raids on the treasury If elected he by any

Among factors which influence the
extent to which the feet toe out
are, Stoutness, exhaustion, uneven
surfaces, changes in structure of
feet, and various diseases.
There is, of course, such a thing
as right-leggedness and left-legged-
ness, exactly as there is right
handedneSs and 1eft-handedness.
1t was found that greater pro-
portion of savages showed a straight
or in-toeing position than is usu-
ally seen among American college
students, but the vast ma jority of
savageS tends to hold the feet in
the toe-out position.
This apparently is the ideal posi-
ton for walking.
An angle of Is degrees, as formed
by the two feet, seems to be the
ideal angle for ordinary active walk
ing.
Rapid movements tend to lessen
the width of the angle, and slower
movements to widen it.
Therefore, when standing the
natural position would seem to be
an angle of about As degrees.

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times-Just what is all this
wild talk about Herbert Hoover
having protected" something or
somebody? Just how much of
this tommyrot was the radio audi
ence supposed to swallow Friday
night, provided they were not par
ticularly prejudiced. I say radio
audience" because, of course, it is
obvious that Hoover's crowd of Re-
publican Office seekers, party hang
ers-on and parasites would have
cheered at anything.
When Herbert Hoover gets up and
starts talking away about how much
worse things could be, he strikes a
blow at the average intelligence.
With an average of thirty falling
banks a day, wheat at rock-bottom
prices, ex-soidiers without homes,
striking miners mobbed with guns,
third of the entire state of Mis-
souri, taken away, factory wages
slashed to unknown levels-haven't
We then reached the breaking point?
Shouldn't President admit that
Buch sufferings exist2
Instead, more talk about having
protected" Well, it's only too plain
right now who he has helped. The
big bankers, railroad officials, steel
magnates. Aren't they the first ones
he rushes to with each new allot-
ment of money from congress? Con-
fronted with national crisis, he
gives a few concerns the money that
should go to the rescue of every one.
The home loan bank is his latest
comic gesture" of loaning money
to banks instead Of directly to the
people.

Hoover Unable to Lead

president HOOVER'S out
l. standing weakness is his inabil-
ity to get action, to fire people with
zeal, to develop an enthusiastic fol-
lowing.
His complaints against congress
amount to nothing less than adj
mission of his own incapacity to
lead.
That is really the great difference
between him and Governor Roose-
velt.
The latter can inspire confidence
and obtain cooperation, even among
his political opponents.
Governor Roosevelt has been
obliged to work with a legislature
controlled by Republicans during
the last four years, but that did not
prevent him from giving the state
of New York a good administration.
He has demonstrated a fine capac-
ity for leadership under circum-
stances which often we're discourage
ing. He has displayed a willingness
to go through with the job at hand
in true American style, and because
of that, he seldom has failed to get
the necessary cooperation.

We Need [ leadership

A S Governor Roosevelt has said,
L n the all-important question is
not how we got into this mess, but
how to get out of it.
I make bold to add that while
the task includes planning, it is
vastly more dependent on leader
ship.
A poor plan we'll carried out is
much better than a good one bun
gled.
What we have needed since 1929,
and what we still need, is leader
ship that can get action.
President Hoover is a great plan
ner. Few men in this country, or
any other, have given birth to so
many schemes. He has loaded us
down with blue prints and specifi-
cations for most every kind of prof.
ect. But somehow they don't seem
to get anywhere.
Nearly ten years ago he helped
formulate report on ways and
means not only to meet such a de-
preston as we are now in, but to
prevent it, When the depression
came, however, nothing had been
done. Maybe, some clerk had laid
that report in the wrong pigeon
hole

PavlOr, the Russian, Is a
Master Of Physiology and
Also of Psychology.
THE fifteenth international con-
Il gress of physiology will be held
in Russia in 1885, under presidency
of Professor Ivan Petrovich PavIov
the gress Pavlov, who laid the
foundation for much modern physi-
ology and psychology.
Three years ago. when both the
international congress of physiolo-
by and the international congress of
psychology met in the United States,
Pavlov's presence in this country
was one of the important features
of the meetings.
This year the psychologists met at
Rome and the psychologists in Co
penhagen, but Pavlov, despite the
fact that he was approaching his
eighty-third birthday anniversary,
delivered addresses at both con-
yentionS.
Pavlov. with his bushy white
beard and his quick energetic man
ner, is the center of interest
wherever he is.
For not only is Pavlov the great
est living psychologist, but he is one
of the great pioneers of modern
psychology. He made his greatest
contribution to knowledge when he
welded the two sciences together.

Association and of Hygeia. the
Health Magazine

THERE is rather common be-
L. lief among people that Indians
and savages generally walk with the
feet straight, in contrast to the out
ward toeing commonly observed
among civilized white men.
DR.. Dudley j. Morton points out
that it was the opinion of military
authorities and dancing masters for
many years that the Mght position
for the feet when standing in
military position was with the heels
together and the toes separated to
an angle of 80 degrees.
Later, some authorities in diseases
of the bones and joints argued that
such position for the feet is
distinctly artificial.
On the other hand, there also is
evidence that the parallel position
of the feet is not a good one and
that it can not be taken as any
special evidence of foot strength.

Brain Studies

OUCH an action pattern in which
~ one stimulus is substituted for
another to call out a definite ply
Biological action-in this case the
secretion of the salivary glands-is
known as a conditioned reflex.
1t now is realized that much of
animal behavior and human be-
havior is to be explained by it.
Professor John B. Watson, who
founded the behavioristic school of
psychology, insists that all human
behavior is nothing more or less
than great mass of such con-
ditioned refexes, built Up one after
another, from the moment of birth.
Most psychologists, however, do not
take so extreme a view.
Pavlov's most recent work has
been upon the physiology of the
brain. The work represents an ex-
tension of his researches upon con-
ditioned refexes.
He is seeking to determine the
changes which take place in the
brain when conditioned ref1exes are
formed.
Pavlov was the eldest of eleven
children. His father was a priest in
the Russian Orthodox church. lie
was inclined toward scientific
career by book on physiology.
which he read at the age of Is.
He is a severe critic of the Soviet
regime in Russian today because he
feels that its reign has interfered
with the activities of intellectual
workers.
He was stirred particularly by the
poverty and lack of opportunity
which confronted college professors
and research workers as a result of
the revolution.
But, in spite Of his outspoken
stand on the subject of the Soviets,
the Russian government has done
everything possible to further his
work, even equipping new
laboratory for him at cost of
about $4,000.
