HOW TO JAZZ PAETY PLATFORMS [priKK W ay for tbe old parties to shorten their platforms next (v/1 year is to quit viewing with alarm and pointing with pride. In other words, quit knocking and bragging. It will help a whole lot if the platforms are short, plain and explicit—saving what they mean and meaning what they say. We would like to be able to read both platforms and then know just what the difference is between a Republican and a Democrat. Does either of the parties stand for any principle of government f If so, name it. Never mind the party history. Don’t bother about who freed the slaves sixty years ago. They’re free now —that’s enough to know at this stage of the game. Forget what dead Democratic and Republican Congresses did before they died. Let ’em stay dead. Let ’em rest in peace. What we want to know is what difference it is going to make to Tom, Dick and Harry whether we elect Republicans or Democrats next year. What is a Democrat? What is a Republican? Tell us so an ordinary man can actually know whether he is one thing or the other, or neither —and why. Too many of us find it difficult to see any difference between ins and outs. A whole lot of us are tired kicking the ins out and boosting the outs in. only to find that the plain folks are always out and never in. In short, cut out the bunk. Shoot straight for once. Talk plain United States. Dish the oratory. Keep lawyers off the platform committees. “REGULATING” PEDESTRIANS mNSURAXCE companies report this year’s death list due to automobile accidents will aggregate 16,000. The toll in Indianapolis has been sixty-two; throughout Indiana it has been considerable, although accurate figures are not at hand. The suggestion in the news columns of The Times that all automobile drivers sign a safety pledge in 1924 is not bad. but what’s the use of signing if the pledge is not to be lived tip to? We see where the National Motorists’ Association is going to try to mitigate automobile troubles by regulating pedestrians. That is better than eviscerating them. The secretary of the motorists! association neglects to announce how the association is going about its big job. Only does he say it “is up to the automobile clubs to handle the situation and to repeat their successful efforts with respect to automobile regulation.” That automobiles have been regulated will be news to many. The motorists’ association may be able to help in a very bad situation, but it is very evident it will have to do far more than repeat the character of work it has done in “regulating” automobiles. The latter are still more rampant than ever and their destruction of human life through recklessness and carelessness i3 steadily growing greater year by year. Reports prove it.

U. S., H. SINCLAIR & CO. r-p lIE plain and outstanding faet of the matter is that by the 1 very terms of the lease on Teapot Dome I became in a very real sense a partner of the Government of the United States • whose representatives you are.” declared Harry F. Sinclair to the Senators who are inquiring into the leasing of the Government’s oil lands. Uncle Sam having thus gone into business with Harry, it would seem that Harry ought not to begrudge the Government information concerning the conduct of the venture. But he does. Only a few minutes after Harry called the United States his partner, he declined time after time to answer the questions of Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, chief inquisitor of the committ* So monotonous became his statements, “again I decline to answer,” that the committee found it necessary to vote as to whether particular information must be supplied. Three Senators—Lenroot, Wisconsin; Smoot, Utah, and Cameron, Arizona, all Republicans—voted to sustain Sinclair’s objections. Four Senators —Walsh, Montana; Adams, Colorado; Kendrick, Wyoming, Democrats, and Ladd, North Dakota, Republican, voted that the public was entitled to know all about its own business. Then canny Harry Sinclair switched from “I decline to answer” to “I don’t know.” The committee, however, sent him back to New York to refresh his memory and instructed! him to return with the information. It’s pretty hard for Uncle Sam to know how his own business is coming along—especially when three out of seven of his Sena-tor-agents don’t care. ’CHICAGO, COOL BUT CONFUSED CIHICAGO, obeying the injunction to “Keep Cool with Cool- ___ idge,” isn’t mad about it, but is mildly puzzled over the Christmas pardon granted by the President to Philip Grossman. Executive clemency released Grossman from the horrors of a Hot Springs (Ark.) hotel. He is one traveling man, at least, who didn’t have to spend the holidays on the lonely road. Grossman is a West Madison St. saloon keeper. Judge Landis sentenced him to jail in 1920 for disobeying an injunction. Appeals delayed the sentence for awhile, but when the last one failed, Grossman was compelled to run away to Hot Springs. He has been reported “missing” since July 28, 1922. He couldn’t be found until it was necessary to get word to him that Coolidge had commuted his sentence. Commitment papers were not prepared until March, 1923, and they never were served. Meantime, however, there had been considerable communication with the Department of Justice at Washington. And on the list of Christmas pardons appeared Grossman’s name. But Grossman, pardoned by the President, has now been sent to jail. Chicago is keeping cool, but is quite a/bit confused. PRESIDENTIAL lightning seems to have its job cut out for it. NOTHING in the world seems to be moving rightly for William Jennings Bryan, except, perhaps, William Jennings Bryan. NEW YORK CITY police report 5,000 more drunk cases for 1923, a prohibition year, than in 1913, in the wet era. That’s not evidence against prohibition—merely of lax law enforcement. PRESIDENT Coolidge wants to make over the United States shipping board. Fine idea! Might try putting a few shipping men on the board for a change, to retlace lame duoks and politicians. *

WHO FOOTS BILL OF WAR IN MEXICO? Revolutions Are Bought on Installment Plan and People Pay. Who finances Mexican revolution? War costs money. Who loots the bill? Frank Gibler, Indianapolis Time* 3 corraspondent on the border, knows Mexico like a book. Re was American vice Consul down there Read him. He'll let you in on some inside stuff about Mexican revolutions. By FRANK GIBLER Times Staff Correspondent N THE RIO GRANDE, Jan. 2. isl I In Mexico revolutions are bought on the installment plan. As long as the payments are kept up the revolution, with on© leader or another, is almost sure to last. Some of the money is borrowed on tills side of the border or from European capitalists. Every revolutionary leader tries to get funds that wav, but the easiest way is to collect from the people as the revolution goes oil. "Live oft the land!’’ is the slogan—and they do. "The Chamber of Commerce of Blank has just raised 20.000 pesos which have been turned over to the leader of revolutionary forces in this district,” reads a press agent dispatch from one of the numerous fronts. "The people of this entire district are strongly in support of the So and So movement,” continues the messaga .Jailed and Then Pay They are. Some of them were jailed for nonsupport of it. After awhile they pay and are released. One of the wealthiest commission merchants of the western slope of Mexico, a man who owned a large part of the real estate of Colima and who was one of the most Important merchants of Mazatlan and Manzanillo, was In the penitentiaries at Guadilajara and Colima eighteen times during the past few years of revolution. After he was released the last time, he died. His name was Bias Ruiz and he was well known in Santa Barbara, Cal., where he maintained a home for his wife nnd two children. Ruiz "contributed" an average of 5.000 pesos, or 52.500, to the revolutions each time he was jailed. He strongly supported the revolution and helped pay for thousands of rifles and cartridges. He never fired a rifle at a man in his life. Horses were stabled In the patio or courtyard of his Colima home. Soldiers practiced with pistols firing at paintings hanging on his walls. Rice and sugar and wheat by tbe ton were taken from his warehouses. Widow Finds Belongings His widow, who now lives in Guadalajara recently called on a Guadala jara family and found that her piano and pictures were being ueed by this family. They were presents from a general who had used the Ru!z home as his headquarters for several week about four years ago. For eight months every beef killed in the slaughter houses of Guadalajara, a city of some 200,000 people, came from the ranches of Jose Mofttero. The money paid for the beef went, to Genera! Di°guez, who has recently k.tken the field in support of Obregon. He used it to help pay for military' operations and to buy' one of the finest homes in Jalisco. He was a carpenter before the revolution, ten years ago. Merchants in various cities occupied by rebels sell the soldiers and officers goods for paper money, many times printed at the order of the rebel commander on local presses. Money (overs Walls Ts the merchants refuse to sell they are fined and put in jail, After a while they agree to sell. One man, j who was wealthy, now has the walls of his room papered with more than I twenty 1 distinct issues of this money. If the soldiers need horses, and they always do, they find them most anywhere, and givo the owner an order on the to-be-formed government as his pay. If he doesn’t want the or der he can throw it away. The regular taxes which ordinarily go to the support of the government In areas occupied by revolutionists, are collected along with the other contributions.

Tongue Tips

W. L. George, English novelist: “It must ho agreed that the novels the real representative of American literature. Modern literature is the novel. A hundred years ago, literature and poetry, were synonymous, as literature then was poetry. Even the novels, say of Scott, were no more than entertainment. But the novel today has criticism of life, It has the flavor of life. American life is the greatest play that has ever been staged and the American novel leads the world in literature.” Mrs. Edna S. Taylor, Business Woman's Club, Philadelphia: “American home life is not disappearing. The truly selfish, g.y, fly-by-night folks are In the majority. They stand out conspicuously because of their actions. The average man and woman appreciates and works for a homo." Judge R. M. Wanamaker, Ohio: “The great. Issue today In America, with all due respect, is not international —it is domestic. It is law against lawlessness, and it is utter folly to smoke-screen it further. It is pressing upon every side.” Mme. Georgette Le Blanc, French actress: "Eet ees a shame—America —so beautiful, so magrifique—and yet so pure. Ze American girl—the face ees ver’ beautiful, the hair, yes; the eyes, yes, hut otherwise —how do you say eet? —so flat.”

Science

Modern business is one of the chief agencies that recognizes modem science. During the great wax nearly all scientific work and study was directed, In one way or another, to fighting the enemy. After the war, different scientific achievements began to he adapted to business. American business, in particular, found out through the war that it could manufacture many things that had been thought impossible. American scientists, American chemists, in particu tar. made this possible. Today, every great business that is properly conducted maintains some form of scientific department. Smaller businesses are able to avail themselves of scientific knowledge through sources other than expensive depart ments of t.hair own. A scientific aur vey of resources, the market, the methods of manufacture of a certain article and the sociological aspects of deal ing with employes, ha-s been proved to be money well invested in starting a business. There are a number of failures of industrial enterprises, week ly, due solely to the fact that, ihey were based on ideas that were scientifl cally unsound. The Investors could have known this, in each case, by demanding a scientific investigation, in advance.

CROOKS ARE TAUGHT TO GO STRAIGHT Two Men Dedicate Lives to Stay Mounting Wave of Crime, By ALEXANDER HERMAN NEA Service Staff Writer j. .. EW YORK, Jon. 2. —The crime \ wave throughout the country L.— .... in 1923 swept away a loot gen erally estimated at 53,000,000,000! Some experts place the figure at 55,000.000,000! And they do not take Into this accounting the value of the human lives that were taken in the toll! To stay* this mounting wave two men, one 60 years old and the other 21 years old, have dedicated (heir lives to a fight against odds that seem insurmountable. Yet to them it is nothing but a stimulus to greater effort. These men are Alpheus Geer, known throughout New Yorks underworld as Pop Geer, and Charles Ingber, known simply as "Charlie.” Together they form the field team of the Marshall Stillman Movement, an organization that: gets men to go straight, not by preaching or trying to reform, but i by' putting it on a purely business basis. "We try to prove to our men tlpit | there is more profit and pleasure in j going straight,” says "Pop” Geer, j “than there is in going crooked.” Movement Spreading And the success of this movement is attested by the 145 members of the New Y'ork underworld who hive gone straight during the yast y ; as a i result of this appeal. "America,” says “Pop,” “j, a crime, ridden nation. And the condition is ! growing more alarming every year. “There are more persons murdered ! in N>w Y'ork alone, than In all ling, j iand.

Is chicory raised in Europe, and what for? t Theory Is quite extensively cultivated In Europe for use aa a table salad, for fodder and for the roots. The young leaves, when properly blanched, are considered equal, as a salad, to those of endive. The principal use of the plant, however, is for Its roots, which are roasted and ground and in that form used as a substitute for coffee, or as an adulterant for coffee, snuff and other articles. What and where Is the Firth of Forth Bridge? This is a centilever bridge erected over the Firth of Forth at Queensferry. Scotland, In 1.883-1890, famous on account of the length of its spans. The two main spans are each 1,710 feet long, arid tho total length of the bridge is 8,205 feet. The towers are 343 feet in height. The bridge contains 51,000 tons of steel, and the whole cost of construction was about $13,000,000. How strong la lightning? No one knows the voltage of lightning when it leaves the clouds. It is estimated that it is about 100,000 volts when it strikes. What were the Alabama Claims? These wore a series of claims for indemnity made upon Great Britain by the United States, based upon the alleged omission of Great Britain to observe tho obligations imposed by International law upon neutral nations with reference to their dealings with, and duties to. belligerents. The claims, in most particulars, arose from damages inflicted by vessels In the Confederate service which had been fitted out or built in English waters and allowed to sail thence. The history of the Alabama is typical of the more flagrant cases submitted to the tribunal of arbitration. Before her destruction by the Kearsage, June 19, 1864 the Alabama is said alone to have captured and destroyed seventy vessels of the United States. As early as 1865, steps were taken to determine a method of adjustment; that it was not until 1871 that a basis for adjudication was agreed upon.
