CLUTCHING AT A STRAW mF ANY ONE desires evidence that Ed Jackson, Republican nominee for Governor, is slipping and slipping fast he need look no further than the statement of Clyde A. Walt), G. O. P. State chairman, appealing to Republican voters not to scratch their ballots on Nov. 4. The principal part of the statement will bear repeating: “As I am talking frankly,” Walb said, “I may properly remind Republicans who are anxious for a successful Coolidge Administration that in event of a vacancy, by reason of death or resignation, in our representation in the United States Senate—a thing that has happened in other States twice in the last three months—such a vacancy would be filled by the Governor of this State. Naturally, a Democratic Governor would appoint a Democratic Senator and a Republican Governor might be relied on to select a Senator of his own political faith.” He points out that the Republican majority in the Senate is slender and that, therefore, no chances should he taken. So, Mr. Walb thinks, that despite opposition to Jackson by many Republicans as well as by the Democrats and Progressives, he should be elected, because it is possible that one of our hale and hearty United States Senators might die and an appointment would be necessary. Walb asks Republicans not to scratch Jackson, despite his display of poor judgment—to say the least—in his indorsement of the notorious R. L. Dollings Company, despite his connection with the Invisible Empire and despite his numerous other shortcomings. Nobody is going to take that kind of an argument very seriously. The voters of Indiana have made up their minds to elect Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch Governor. Part}' lines are being erased in order to accomplish his election, because the great majority of the voters know he is qualified. The only significance that can be attached to the Walb argument has to do with the obvious fact that it is an admission of desperation.

WALL STREET SQUEALS pp" IE National City Bank of New York, that huge interna--1 * tional banking organization whose name has become almost synonymous with Wall Street, publishes a monthly review nominally devoted to a survey of business conditions. But this month’s review, just issued, devotes nearly fifteen of its twenty pages to an attack on the La Follette ticket and an argument that everything is fine as it is and that nothing should be changed. It is a nonpartisan argument —so far as the two old parties are concerned. Wall Street isn’t worried about either one of them. But it is frightfully agitated at the prospect of thousands of voters getting away from the folds of the Democratic and republican parties and into the ranks of the La Follette supporters. “The attempt to create a radical party in this country, by gathering together all the varied and nondescript elements of dissent which are to be found in any society, and of enlisting by temporary and different inducements important bodies of voters who have been accustomed to act with the two old parties, is being made under conditions unusually favorable,” says the National City Bank’s review. Then the review tries to show that the La Follette movement is a socialistic one, which it most decidedly is not, and which was conclusively demonstrated during La Follette’s administrations as Governor of Wisconsin when nothing approaching Socialism was proposed. In fact, the National City Bank always refers to the La Follette ticket as “socialists”—despite the fact that until very recently the Republicans were very thankful whenever they could secure La Follette’s support as a Republican, and the Democrats were very jubilant over the accomplishments of the Democratic Senator Wheeler. Naturally, as it pays 90 per cent of the expenses of both parties Wall Street publicly maintains a nonpartisan attitude as between the Democrats and Republicans. And, naturally, it is shocked when, after footing the bills, there is a prospect that enough voters will escape from the folds to make those expenditures futile. And, also very naturally, the National City Bank doesn’t devote fifteen pages of its monthly “business review” arguing against a political movement unless the movement is a very real one.

LOWLY COW DOES BIT FOR MILADY Supplies Many 'Made From Milk’ Toilet Articles to Enhance Beauty, \EA Service J ASHINOTON, Oct 21.—Mention cow. and you think of i__j milk, cream, butter. But the lowly cow has graduated far above this grade of mere milk and butterfat producer. She is the source of a thousand and one useful things for which average man had never hefore credited her. “If the humble cow ever aspired to trademark her products," reads a report of the National Geographic Society here, the average shopper would he amazed at the ‘made from milk’ labels which would adorn his purchase—ranging from horn-rim spectacles to chess men, magazines to radio sets. For Milady “Consider a debutante’s hall. The occasion would lose much of its glamor if the cow didn’t supply the milk which helps provide many other adjuncts than the ice cream. “The debutante's hair is kept in place by a flaring comb, made of milk, she toys with a milk-handled fan, she made her toilet with an array of articles largely made of milk, she receives her call from a young man through a telephone receiver, made of milk. program is made of milk, and she chats with an escort who flecks his cigarettte ashes into a milk-made holder.” That's only part of the milk parade. Three per cent of the casein in cow’s milk Is the raw material for such a variety of products. It is the curd, whose first and chief use is for cheese, hut whose nitrogenous content enables its use for numerous nurelated products. Glue, Too “In recent years.” the report continues, “manufacturers have become active competitors of cheese makers in buying casein. Hence is It used as a glue and also as a binder in making glazed paper, in dyeing cotton cloth and in piecing together laminated furniture.”

THE INDIAN AUOLltt TIMES

ATTORNEY IS OUT FOR LA FOLLETTE Jurist Says He Will Vote to Return Power to People, By S. S. ROBERTSON, Prominent Pittsburgh Attorney mAM for Mr. La Follette for various reasons, the most Important of these, to me at least, being that he favors the restoration to the people of certain powers which have been usurped, and that he is the foe of special privilege in the administration of the Government. Instead of being the enemy of the Constitution, he is its sincere friend. His aim is by direct constitutional action to restore power to the people to deal with matters strictly within the sphere of political action, those let us say, for example, which are ameliorative of social conditions, while leaving matters legilistic in their nature as now to the courts. To Overthrow System And in addition he aims to overthrow the bad system, daily growing worse, of the control by privileged classes of the machinery of government. Every intelligent person knows that many questions arising out of the Constitution had to be settled some way. Those questions as they occurred in our early history, as it mostly happened, were purely questions of the meaning of the legal document which we call the Constitution, and these found their way very properly into the courts and were determined, not always without arousing passion on the outside. But the atmosphere of the court was calm and history has vindicated the courts. New Questions But in modern times other questions have arisen which many of us regard as not falling within the legal arena, but as properly belonging within the field of political science and political action and these also the courts have undertaken to deal with and thus, as we say, to take away that Independence, within their own peculiar field of action, of the representatives of the people in their Congress. We must clean up all around. We must get together somehow to enforce law and order and to see that the people’s money is spent for their benefit. The old parties seem to be incurably demoralized. For the public reasons I have indicated I am for Mr. La Follette, and I would be for him. for he would he rendering a public service thereby, if no other result of his campaign should he achieved than the awakening of the old parties to a consciousness of their moral duty toward this, which should in truth he God’s country. Nature The only way to capture a young rhino is to kill the mother first. And then you have to reckon with the avenging spirit of the youngster. He is no coward and puts up a big fight. There ara five species of rhinocer os. Two are African and three Indian. The African elephant has never been trained as the Indian one has been. It is claimed his great size has much to do with this, also the cost of feeding such a "whale” of a fellow. A medium sized elephant weighs three tons.

T-Toosierisms I BY GAYLORD NELSON

1—”"1 T Cliffy Falls State Park met I A j recently the northwest States 1 * o division of the Fnited States Society of Foresters. Richard Lieber, director of the department of conservation, spoke. Referring to the appreciation in Indiana of the need of reforestation, he said: “The nature lover, the sportsman, the poet, the camper, after all, make up a vast throng to whom life without woods, shrubs and trees means very litttle.” Trees are truly our friends. They supply lumber, fortunes, and products of practical utility. Also intangible products of no less ultimate value. To the poet and painter Inspiration. And to ±he plain man, who is neither timber baron nor artist, enjoyment. He may not know an oan from a poplar. But he- knows that a landscape denuded of trees is dead, unlovely and uninviting. A region to be hurried through, not a place to make a home. Much of the beauty of Hoosier cities is in their trees. The bank may be an imposing heap of Bedford stone; the newest movie house a stuccoed Arabian night’s dream. They are soon forgotten. But long lingers the memory of uulot streets, carpeted with russet and crimson, with their old trees through whose arched branches splash the October sunbeams, sprinkling the passerby with golden shreds and patches. Noise OUNCILMAN OTTO RAY has introduced an ordinance prot—- hlbiting unnecessary locomotive noises within the city limits. There is in the proposal. A locomotive usually springs to boisterous activity at eventide. From then on its splinters the stilly watches of the night into a million sharp fragments with shrilling whistle and clanging bell. But locomotives do not cause all the racket that submerges the city in tumultuous sound waves. Street cars, trucks, automobiles with open cutouts,, newsboys, and the whine of spent dimes, all contribute to make “silence” an obsolete word in the city vocabulary. Much of the noise is unavoidable. Steel, stone and concrete, not India rubber, form the skeleton of municipal life. Some might be suppressed, Even then few city dwellers will make the personal acquaintance with the deep sleep of oblivion. Except in death. And then probably a street car with • Ight square wheels and screeching axles will continually pass the cemetery. We are accustomed to the city's uproar Complete absence of noise would torture our ear drums We are content to let the word “silence” become obsolete. For we prefer to live in Indianapolis with all its jarring clamor. We don't yearn for the mellow harmonies of the harps in that bright place over yonder. Beggars ~T LETTER written by Homer A W. Borst, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Community Fund, to Chief Rikhoff calls attention to street beggars. There is no excuse for hegging on the streets of the city, declares Mr. Borst, for the social organizations of the Community Fund are able to provide needed relief. Which is probably true. But street begging seeks no excuse. It's a learned profession. And Indianapolis has a few eminent practitioners on its downtown streets S' me with nothing but a crippled limb. Others vending trifles such as lead pencils and gum. But the number Is not large. Perhaps this indicates a high degree of prosperity—or the reverse. For, while local hegging talent is most active In periods of depression, the true postgraduate mendicant Works the boom towns, oil fields and mining camps, where flows the easy money. Dispensing alms, with the resultant enlargement of the heart, gives a pleasant sensation. Nevertheless, Mr. Borst’s warning Is timely. And the citizen approached by a street beggar should give the rascal a cold, hard look, and walk away—after buying a lend pencil. For that’s our human way. We try to bo impersonal and efficient In charity, but a maimed or crippled unfortunate arouses our compassion. And our compassion is the beggar's stock in trade.

Giggling Ar" ' SMALL boy at Gosport, Tnd giggled in the midst of a i___J music lesson, and the teacher whipped him. The boy’s parents charged her with assault and battery, to which she pleaded guilty before Jthe justice of tho peace. And wns fined. Giggling in the school room is hazardous. On tin instructor rubbed raw by the stubborn inertia of small boys a snicker may bo the spark to provoke a pyrotechnic display of temper. A misplaced titter may blast a politician. wreck a family, or upset a kingdom. For the hearer always suspects that every giggle has a meaning of its own. And that is ridicule of him <jr his personal appearance. It may be nothing but an involuntary action yet the auditor frequently takes it as an insult, A man may posses poise, coolness and courage. But let him sit in front of a bevy of snickering school girls—and soon he possesses nothing but a wilted collar, Inflamed ears, and large, hot, puffy hands. He is embarrassed. Because he imagines he is the object of their merriment. A hearty laugh is infectious. It brightens the whole day. A chuckle warms. But a giggle curdles the milk of human kindness.

A. B. C’s. By HAL COCHRAN Every little youngster knows the famous A, B, C that the teacher harps on daily in the school. I mean the kind that start with A and end with X. Y", Z. You have them in your lessons as a rule. But, do you know the modern brand; the brand that means so much? Just study them and think them over twice. They're worthy of your thought if you can get the proper touch and realize they’re based on good advice. The A stands for Always do as Mon and Daddy say. and Ask no questions 'cept when you're in doubt. They’ll always gladly tell you why they want each thing its way and It never gets you anywhere to pout. The B means Be considerate of grown-ups that you know. Beware of being selfish or unkind. Be mindful of the fact that you are young until you grow, and you will be much happier. you'll find. The C means Cause your mother and your father to be glad. Console them with caresses, if you please. Then also catch the meaning of the lesson you ha ye had, that's taken from the modern A B C's. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) The Bobber Shop By C. A.

Science There have been a number of expeditions recently to the interior of Yucatan, Mexico, to study the ancient Maya civilization. S. K. Lothrop of the Carnegie Institution has just published the result of one of these expeditions, which he led. Maya civilization begins earlier than 1000 B. C. It existed down to the time of the Spanish conquest, but was rapidly falling into decay at that time through the supremacy of the Aztecs. The expedition found the ruins of eleven large cities and thousands of monuments, with sculptures and painted friezes. On the east coast of Yucatan are the ancient Maya cities of Tulum and others that furnish much evidence of a civilization of blah order. . There are many points of similarity between Asiatic and Egyptian civilization and the Mayan. One instance is found in the Mayan sculptures of; elephsnts, discovered l places where the symbol denoted power or authority. This was similar to the use of the elephant sym bol in India.
