The victory of Paul McNutt for Governor
is a triumph for decency over the long years
when prejudice and SANDER, rather than ar
gument, have been the appeals to the cleo
torate.
Paul McNutt has been subjected in this
campaign to vilhcation and abuse such as
have come to few candidates for any Office.
Only man with years of unblemished
record could have withstood these powerful
attacks.
AS Governor, he will have no difficulty
in identifying the sources. They were not
political. They came from selfish forces
which long have fattened on control of the
state.
The public utilities were in that group.
Those who desire to control the huge high
way funds were active. All the parasites
who have traded upon their influence in the
Governors Office joined in the battery of
mud.
Paul McNutt should regard his election
as the greatest of opportunities.
AS Governor, his task will not be easy.
But the common man will look to him for
an even break.
The great problem in the next four years
will be that of real control of public utili-
ties. His record will be made or broken on
that issue. He has pledged a new deal. That
means that the statehouse must declare a
closed season upon those pillagers who have
found the back door open to their pleas.
Other problems - unemployment relief,
old age pensions, real ECONOMY in govern
ment-will press upon him.
And to that task he will take with him
the confidence of the hundreds of thousands
of voters who refused to listen to ibels and
who look to him as their spokesman and
their friend.

then are conveyed to the mouth

ing, and in various other ways.
However, the dosage of germs
thus received, or the strength Of
the germs, is not sufficient to bring
about disease.
The exposure of the germ to fresh
air and sunlight and the fact that
it is trying to live on substance
not suitable to it as a habitation
may prevent its multiplying and
may cause the germ itself to lose
it's strength.
However, under other circum-
stances, germs multiply in tremen-
douS numbers, SO that the human
being who comes in contact with
them sustains a massive assault.

Ut is my firm resolve that Will
Il not write another political
column again for one month.
I rode in taxicab yesterday with
a driver who seemed Vim the same
morose state as myself. We were
both suffering from nervous ex-
haustion. Two or three cars almost
took his mudguards away, and he
cursed over his breath.
The swirl of traffic tossed us in
to a great Sargasso of stalled taxis,
and most of the chauffeurS tried to
move the car ahead by blowing
horns. Once upon a time there
must have been a traffic jam which
was solved by the simple process of
concerted clamor.
I never have seen it done. Ac-
cording to my observation, the toot-
ing and the honking only serve to
make the black hole of Calcutta a
little more torturing. The taxi driv-
er seemed to feel the same way
about it.

is madhouse."
He settled down to ruminate and
wait for the green light.

Perspective Is Lost

VOU can't imagine our fore
Il fathers gathering in the street
and gaping at a fagpole sitter. It
is almost as difficult to imagine us
taking the risks they did to establish
this country.
We constantly are m k II g
sacrifices and throwing away OPP
portunities for temporary gain or
pleasure. We vince, however, when
it comes to making them for some
thing big and far away.
We have suffered, I believe, a
definite loss of perspective. In
spite of the so-called expansion of
horizons, our thoughts are growing
localized and personal.
One can sense it in the type of
songs we sing and the books we
read. We have lost taste for romance
and drama previous to the Victorian
period, and we prefer them right up
to the minute.
We like to live in the present, for
getting that those unacquainted
with the past make poor readers Of
the future.

Remarkable Conquest


TINE rapidity with which tele-
i phone service has been ex-
tended to worldwide proportions
during the last few years is perhaps
one of the most remarkable of
mans conqueStS over time and dis
tance," Gherardi and Jewett said in
their joint paper, titled World
Wide Telephony-Its Problems and
Future"
Already it is a commonplace to
hear the human voice from thou
sands OF miles away, over land and
sea.
Distance and the great natural
barriers of the world no longer pre-
vent us from talking with each
other. Across oceans and over high
sierras the voice now carries its fun
message.
Furthermore these results have
been accomplished within a few
years. Telephony has demonstrated
its international and intercontinen-
tai services. The development and
extension of those services lie before
U.S."
Worldwide telephony, the two
famous engineers point out, was a
natural sequence to the develop
ment of great networks of wires on
the various continents.
Each network joined millions of
telephone users. The next step was
to connect the networks.
There were, however, some very
early attempts to overcome the
barriers of the oceans.
The first step was taken in 1891.

submarine telephone cable was laid

Indiana Redeemed

Today, the great state of Indiana sends
word to the nation that it joins the ranks of
progressive and liberal commonwealth.
The years of senility to the forces of
reaction, intolerance, bigotry are cleansed
by new era of tolerance, liberalism and
progressivism.
Senator James E. Watson retires from
public life and with him retres the influ-
ences that have made the state of Indiana
byword among people who hoped for some
thing better than domination by special
privilege.
His downfall dated from the day when
he tried to laugh away the exposure that he
had given his note for sugar stock, with the
cynical jest that the note was worthless.
Indiana does not believe in worthless
notes.
Watson was more than personality. He
was the symbol Of great forces which had
brought hundreds of thousands of human
beings to the breadline and joblessness.
He was the servant of all the forces that
believed in the theory that prosperity de-
ponds upon the placing of wealth in the
hands of the few.
To retain power, he was an expert in the
doctrine Of expediency.
When the Anti-Saloon League ruled the
state, he gave allegiance to that force.
When Stephenson came into power on his
weird and almost unbelievable appeals to
prejudice, Watson never hesitated. He
joined Stephenson and looked upon him as
a great political asset.
He was true only to one master-Big
Business.
To retain power, he betrayed at times his
associates in his own party. Beverage felt
the sting of his secret antipathy. Harry
New understood. Every man who served
him in time walked the plank, politically.
Give Senator Watson credit for keeping
faith with his own philosophy of politics
which was that the one crime he could COM
NIT was to lose political battle-for him
self.
When Frederick Van Mugs enters the
United States senate next March, he will
carry with him responsibility which must
and will fill his soul with humility.
He is the hope of all the men and women
Of the state that by his votes and his words
he will be all that Watson was not.
He goes as the apostle of new philoso-
ply and new message from Indiana, a re-
deemed Indiana.
His will be the voice of liberalism and
progressivism, and the people hope from
him not only words, but a conservation to
progressive principles that will destroy
special privileges for the few and the misery
for the many.
He goes to that great duty with more
sacred commission than Indiana has ever
given to any other man sent by this state
to the national government.
His is the opportunity, his is the duty, of
adding the voice of Indiana to that of other
progressive states who believe that the
people, not dollars, must rule the nation.

THE notion of telephoning to

But to those whose business REQUIRE
it, it probably is no more romantic
in their minds than the sending of

The miracle of one age is the

cult for most of us to realize that
there was a day when the telephone
in itself was startling thing. a
source of wonder and amazement.
Then when people became accuS-
toned to telephoning over short
distances, the long-distance tele-
phone became the source Of wonder.
Today it is accepted as a matter
of course. Before many years,
worldwide telephony will be ac-
cepted in the same way.
Today, however, we still find our
selves marveling at the growth OF
worldwide telephony. This topic
was discussed at the Inter-
national Electrical Congress in
Paris by Bancroft Gherardi, vice.
president and chief engineer Of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co., and Frank B. Jewett, president
of the Bell Telephone Laboratories.

we need If try also can distribute those prod

should be and can be the end of a period of reac,
