SIMMS CALLS UPON EDITORS OF HIS PARTY Candidate for Senator Declares Against Many Boards. Democratic success at the November election is assured if Indiana Democrats ■will awaken from the lethargic state In which they have been since 1920, is the statement made by Dan W. Simms of Lafayette, candidate for the nomination of United States Senator in the primary election in May, in a letter sent out by him to editors of Democratic papers throughout Indiana. Mr. Simms comes out openly against the various boards and commissions which have sprung into existence, and charges that under the guise of assisting the Executive arm of the Government they are in reality little more than political agencies used to perfect political organizations. In part the letter reads: “I cherish no illusion that my nomination is essential to the success of the ticket in November, but I sincerely believe that, if the great body of Democratic voters can be aroused and inspired to canvass and consider the merits and availability of not only the candidates for United States Senator, but of all candidates for congressional. State, legislative and township offiee as well; If they can be impressed with the responsibility of their duty to go to the polls and express their solemn judgment in the choice of all of th“se candidates, then and in such event success in the election ’.'ill inevitably follow, no matter what candidates may be chosen. “A spirit of legthargy weighs upon the heart of the average Democratic voter. He is discouraged—disheartened. He has seen his party go down to defeat under overwhelming majorities. He has wii - nessed the burdens of taxation grow heavier day by day with the apparent approval of the voters of the State expressed at the polls. He has observed thq action of the congressional delegation. which, while supporting a policy that has humiliated the Nation in the eyes of the world, has also destroyed his markets and crippled, indeed if it has not destroyed, his power to get on in the world. In the enactment and amend nient of a perfidious State tax law he has oteil a vicious onslaught upon, and a systematic attempt in the destruction of. the principle of local self-government —a principle dear to every Democratic heart. He has seen the virile functions of simple Democratic government rendered Impotent, complicated beyond all sense and reason, and handed over in a large measure to a series of political agencies and under the name of boards and commissions. whose ostensible reason for existence, he is told, is to assist the executive arm of the Government in its administrative duties, but whose real claim upon life he has learned is based upon the fact that they give to the party in power a greater facility in perfecting a political orgntzation. while (hey inerease the cost of Government out of all proportion to thp good they accomplish. He sees the science of civil government pros tituted to the cunning art of ‘o ;ce getting.’ In view of these conditions and in the face of a situation which he deplores but doubts his power to improve ochange, it would not be strange or difficult to understand if he should hesitate or neglect to join forces with his fellows. canvass and consider the merits and availability of all candidates, choose as best he may and, with right good will fight manfully for the man of his choice. But if his inertia can be overcome and 1 the spirit of real democracy can be awak- j ened and aroused, It will be, as it has ever been when aroused and determined absolutely invincible. “I believe and stand for, I try to preach and practice democracy as conceived and promulgated by Jefferson, as maintained and upheld by Jackson and as interpreted j and concretely applied by Woodrow Wilson.”
GENOA PARLEY MAY BE FLUKE French and British Have Ideas Not in Harmony. PARIS, March Sl.—The Genoa confer- ! enee may enfl as abruptly as Cannes, if tabooed subjects are brought up for consideration. France and England have not been able to ajrree wholly on what subjects may be permitted for discussion and Premier Poincare has let it be understood the French delegation will withdraw from the conference if the ques- j tions of reparations, disarmament or interpretation of treaties are broached. The j British cabinet's stand is, althctufth limit- i ation of armaments cannot be the sub- i ject of a practical resolution, no decision taken until the present would prevent the general question of disarmament from j being considered in principal. The British also would include a debate on repa- 1 rations and interpretation of treaties in accord with the French official view, to all of which the Poincare govern men* is opposed.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
Wait-a-Minute Habit Annoys Business Men By WILLIAM FEATHER. Some time ago I wrote this paragraph: "The way some men answer the telephone reminds us of the way a bulldog greets a stranger.” The thought aroused a high degree of interest, and it has developed the need for a code of telephone ethics. Tfce reason many people are discourteous in answering the telephone Is because callers are so often discourteous. Discourtesy breeds discourtesy. For Instance, a gentleman in New York writes that the following is a daily occurrence in his office. The telephone bell rings—"Mr. Buyer? Wait a minute, please. Mr. Doodad calling.” Meantime Mr. Doodad probably Is sitting back with his feet on the desk while his secretary holds Mr. Buyer until Mr. Doodad comes to life. “Mr Buyer? O-o-oh yes, this is Mr. Doodad. What can I do for you?” “You called ME.” “Oh, yes. Mr. Buyer, this Is Mr. Doodad, of the Goofns Wlndelwan Company. I want to tell you, etc., etc. ” for five or ten minutes, repeating the stereotyped sales talk that Mr. Buyer knows by heart. It seems the time has come for high-grade business houses to issue orders that any one putting in a telephone call shall be on the line ready to take the call the moment the person at the other end of the line answers. I am inclined to think that the idea of having calls made by a telephone operator Is inefficient. I find I can get colls through myself with less annovan<~f and more quickly than It t relay them through a switchboard operator. There is a tendency in tbe modern business office to build np too much of the court-chamberlain, gentlemanin waiting idea. This stuff is becoming offensive. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
