Those Who Argue That De-
mocracy Is q Failure Must
Look Beyond the United
States for supporting
Facts.
NEW YORK. Aug. Sl-such po-
L litical differences as exist in
this country are tame by compar-
son with those which worry and
hewilder most other lands. We have
no large group Of Communists in
congress. or any state legislature;
no black or brown shirt organiza-
ton yelling for dictatorship, and no
religious bloc.
Noisily as we may disagree over
questions of policy, we still are a
united people when it comes to sat-
iSfaction with our forms Of govern
ment.
We have had three Presidents
assaSsinated and one Civil war, it
is true, but we never have failed
to hold our national elections on
schedule, or to abide by the results.
In all essentials, this republic re-
mains as it was established.
The body of its Constitution is the
same, its congress is the same and
its states, though they have in
creased from thirteen to forty-eight
in number, are patterned on the
same old model
Those who argue that democracy
is a failure must look beyond the
United States for supporting facts.

Cause of Fear

TT is not a bad idea to recall such
l. things now and then. Without
doing so, we are apt to get the i'm
preston that our troubles and dis
agreements are as serious as those
in some other countries.
To be perfectly frank, many people
have that impression, have imagined
that what was happening abroad
we'll might happen here, actually
have looked for a Mussolini or a
Lenin to make his appearance
among us.
Such frame of mind accounts for
most of the fear in this country,
particularly since the depression
began.
A lot of otherwise intelligent
people have been whispering about
the possibility of riots and revolt.
Every little strike or disturbance has
inspired somebody to cry that the
Communists we're coming.
Even those in authority have
fallen for the bunk, as is illustrated
by certain official statements re-
garding the bonus marchers.

out.

gether the geophysical laboratory,
the departments of terrestrial mag
netism and meridian astrometry,
and the Mt. Wilson observatory.
We thus begin with the earth as
a physical body. studying formation
and alteration Of its rocks by mod
ern cumulative methods of physics
and chemistry and development and
transfer of heat involved in min
eral reactions and in changes from
a liquid state to a solid.
Geologic processes, hitherto
treated only descriptively, thus are
brought into the laboratory, where
they yield the exact numerical data
so essential for fruitful scientific adj
vance,
Next We study the earths cleo
trio and magnetic conditions. with
emphasis on problems of interna-
tional concern.
Vessels of the department Of
terrestrial magnetism, notably the
ship Carnegie, have cruised the wa
ters of all the oceans from 30 de-
grees latitude north to so degrees
south; the aggregate length of the
obseryational trail is more than
100000 miles.
Meanwhile the land has not been
neglected. Observers have visited
all its parts, gathering data from
nearly 5000 stations.
To obtain records of electric and
magnetic changes, permanent sta
lions are maintained in Australia
and Peru.
Finally, at its laboratory in

nebulae are studied with tele-
scopes of great power" DR.. Seares
continued. 1T is less known as the
MT. Wilson observatory of the Car
negie institution of Washington.
However, it is one Of a group OF
research units maintained by the
Carnegie institution.
The educational influence of the
observatory is to be appraised with
this organic relationship in mind.
In 1902 Mr. Carnegie placed in
the hands of trustees a large sum
of money which, with later gifts,
appropriations from the Carnegie
Corporation and accumulated re-
serves, yields income for the insti-
tuition.
THE congressional act of incor-
poration sets forth the purpose! To
encourage in the broadcast and most
liberal manner investigation, re-
search and discovery, and the ap-
plication of knowledge to the i'm
prOvement of mankind"
How the Carnegie institution
functions to carry out this pur-
pose was described by DR.. Seares.
Study Of the means of providing
such encouragement has led to a
method of operation suited to the
needs of today" he said.
First minor grants for special
research, made to a few experienced
investigators connected with other

What If This HAPPENED?

XXTHAT would we think if, on
w the assembling of congress,
some Communist we're to arise with
the demand not only for President
Hoover's impeachment, but for rev.
olution? That is what happened in
the German Reichstag Monday.
What would we think if Governor
Roosevelt we're to decide that the
Democratic party had become too
radical and come out with a state
ment bidding for Republican sup
port? That would be little more
startling than what happened in
England last fall.
What would we think if the army
suddenly should decide to take

has happened in half the South
American republics during the last
six years.

Important Part Played IN Sci

son Observatory.
ON Mt. Wilson in California
~ stands the worlds largest tele-
scope. the 1OO-inch reflector.
1t is one Of the important instru-
ments comprising the equipment Of
the Mt. Wilson observatory.
The observatory itself is one of
number Of research institutions adj
ministered and financed by the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
with headquarters in Washington.
The primary task of the instltu-
ton is scientific research. But it
also has played an important role
in education.
This role recently was discussed
by DR.. Frederick H. Seares. assist
ant director of the Mt. Wilson OBJ
servatory. in an address before the
Association of Colleges end Univer-
stiles of the Pacific southwest. His
subject was Education and Re-
search"
In education. a research founda-
ton proceeds less consciously than
a university" DR.. Seares said.
Without students in the technical
sense. it has little concern with in
struction.
It's task is rather to procure in
formation, which. rearranged and
somewhat diluted, serves among
other ends, as a reagent for convert
ing the uninstructed into cultivated
human beings.
The obligation to set forth its re-
suits is admitted; nevertheless, the
chief business of a research estab-
lishment is investiga ton, and by its
success in this undertaking its edu-
cational force finally is to be meas
ured.
Important conclusions soon be-
come interviewer with the thought
of the time; conclusions, however,
must be provided"

DR, HARRY ELMER BARNES
~ suggests that radicals would
rend Roosevelt because he is the
candidate who matches closest to
their own ideals,
He pictures Fearless Frank as one
who sounds trumpet call far TO
the left of Herbert Hoover and &C
cordingly is a man to be blasted for
his virtues rather than his failings.
1t is trul that in the severe ortho-
doxy of revolt your nearest enemy
becomes your most despised foe, but
this formula does not quite fit the
case of Governor Roosevelt. I am
willing to admit that he is a man
more humane and understanding
than the present incumbent of the
White House.
In both heart and head I think I
find a great response to the needs
of those whom circumstance has
flung upon the industrial doorstep.
And yet the disciples of the new
world are quite right in fighting
Roosevelt with at least as much
vigor as they bestow upon the
frailties of Herbert Hoover.
Indeed, in one important respect
the Democratic candidate has pre-
sented an Interpretation of our woes
essentially far more conservative
than that spread upon the canvas
of public consciousness by Herbert
Clark Hoover.
II
He Says, Don't Blame Me-
INEVITABLY, President Hoover
4 has been moved to say that the
depression and its attendant diff
culties were not Of Lis making. He,
in conjunction with the Repub-
hcan party, brought about the boom,
but the debacle was a collaboration
achieved by deep economic tides
and the sad perversity of foreign
nations.
Much to their regret, all intelli-
gent radicals must agree with Presi-
dent Hoover. In conformity with
their theories, it is necessary for
them to admit that the rise and the
decline of economic prosperity were
not vitality conditioned by any indi-
vidual.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-08-31

/ 1t is the contention of the rad
ical that depressions have occurred
under the rule of many Presidents,
and that the authority of Lincoln,
Coolidge, or Hoover is quite in
sufficient to affect these deeply &C
tuated tides.
And by this curious coincidence,
all the disciples of a complete new
deal are ready to exclaim: Hear!
Hear!" whenever Republican
spokesman declares that President
Hoover of his own free will did not
make the depression.
He is, without question, the con-
sentative candidate in the on
coming election, but his waiver of
personal immunity makes him less
vulnerable target for radical at
tack than Roosevelt. For in the
Columbus address Franklin D.
Roosevelt sought to establish the
fact of personal guilt.
He argued that but for certain I'M
wise decisions of the resident Presi-
dent, we might never have gone
down into the Valley of Despond.
He cited the Grundy tariff and
other administration maneuvers as
primarily responsible for the bread
lines and the devastating sweep of
unemployment.
Seeking Personal Villain
IN other words, the Governor of
i the great state of New York
argued that the tragic estate of the
present world is largely matter of
bad stage management rather than
faulty manuscript. If Roosevelt
is right, there is no necessity what
soever to change the scheme of
things, but merely the suggested i'm
provement of switch in the cast.
The Columbus indictment was
brilliant arraignment of the Repub-
lican administration. And it was
also complete denial of the theory
that guilt is impersonal.
Under pressure, Herbert Hoover
was compelled to become an inter
nationalist and to declare that if we
slumped we went down the slide
with all the world.
Not at all" says Franklin Roose-
welt, the depression was wholly I'M
necessary and could have been pre-
vented by adherence to sound
Democratic doctrine.
Now, obviously, this is hy-
pothesis which readily can not be
accepted by any radical. He likes to
think of himself as a realist, and
looking down the years he notes
that this was not the first panic or
probably the last.
1t is his notion that the periodic
nature of booms and of depressions
has been established clearly in the
economic history of America, and
so he is quite ready to agree with
Herbert Hoover that there is no
such thing as individual inaptitude
IN these matters.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I read with much
interest your editorial on the de-
feat of the bill designed to reduce
the legal rate of interest on small
loans. You are right, that all
senators and representatives who
voted against the rights of the dis
tressed borrowers should be de-
feated.
The amendment would have saved
about $1,3OO,OO0 a year to poor peo-
pie of Indiana in excessive interest
rates now charged, most of which
money goes to chain loan shark
firms, maintaining headquarters in
other states.
Why not swing the ak directly
on this racket by court proceedings
to test its constitutionality? The
