LYING ABOUT WISCONSIN fTT] OU have heard the claims that business concerns are being I I I driven out of Wisconsin by twenty-four years of progressive State government. Campaign speakers have cited the Johns Manville Company, the Simmons Manufacturing Company, the Palm Olive Company and the Warner Company as horrible examples. They are claimed to have been driven out of Wisconsin. Let’s see. The first three concerns did move their general offices to New York or Chicago, but they did not move their factories nor reduce the number of employees. Since the Simmons Company moved its offices it has built a million-dollar addition to its Kenosha plant. Palm Olive offices publicly deny that they moved their general offices because of Wisconsin State laws. With several plants scattered throughout the country, they sought a central city for their main office. Same for Johns Manville. The Warner Company took out corporation papers so it could do business in Illinois. The politicians said Warner would “erect a 5,000-man plant” in Illinois and 5,000 Wisconsin men would lose jobs or move to Illinois. The President of the Warner Company says no more than five offices men will be employed in Illinois and that the number of employees in Wisconsin will not he reduced and that ho has never even thought of leaving Wisconsin. Wisconsin is the twenty-fifth State in area and the thirteenth in population. It ranks ninth in value of farm products and tenth in value of manufactured products. In percentage of increase in manufacture, the United States census shows it has grown faster than New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut or Missouri. So that is that. JUST SUPPOSE! jIX large women’s organizations are going to meet in Washington next January to determine the cause and cure of war. The women have allowed themselves three days in which to decide upon the fundamental causes of war and three more for determining a certain remedy. After that the delegates will return to their various home groups and proceed to do whatever they have decided upon. Men from the heights of their experience and wisdom will laugh indulgently at the modest program for the conference, and then go on their ways thinking no more about it all. It is ridiculous, of course, for several thousand women to think they can meet together and solve in six days the problem that has confronted the world for thousands of ages. And yet— It was ridiculous for David to try to kill Goliath. Foolishness for Columbus to try sailing around the earth. Nonsense for the Wright brothers to dream they could fly. Suppose they hadn’t tried! COMMON SENSE CAMPAIGNING LT in California, where Mark Requa. Sinclair oil vice president, is running the campaign for Mr. C’oolidge of Vermont and Mr. Dawes of the Pure Oil Company, there is a lovely bit of campaign literature in circulation. It is a pamphlet entitled “The Betrayal of California,” and is devoted to an attack on La Follette for failing to vote for Japanese exclusion. At the time the Japanese matter was before the Senate La Follette was desperately ill with pneumonia, while Hughes and Coolidge were doing everything in their power to defeat the law in the House and Senate. IT IS the lame duck season, too. THE PRINCE wasn’t fair. He permitted only Canada to see him fall off a horse. A DOCTOR says it is more tcr-ible to be deaf than blind, but he doesn’t know politics. HENRY presented the Prince with a flivver, thereby promoting him from a jolly to rattling fellow. Fawncv! ONE WORLD FLIER was bald when he started, but came back with a headful of hair. Hint to ladies who roust now change their style. ’SEPIIUS DANIELS wants to inveigle all the Republicans into attending a southern barbecue, thus, we take it, securing the election of Davis by indigestion. A DETROIT woman, drunk, drove her car over a pedestrian and slashed a policeman with a knife, before being jailed. Maybe Kipling was right about the female of the species. “RUM SHIP captured; crew all drunk; 57,000 cases of liquor missing,” is the way the headlines told it. No wonder the crew was drunk.

With the campaign on. President Coolidge is doing a lot of smiling for the cameramen. He also is having many honors thrust upon him. Here he is with a hat of the* Smoki tribesmen, sent to him by the Chamber of Commerce of Prescott, Ariz., when he was made a member of the tribe. CHINEE HAS NOTHING ON POLITICIANS ! ‘Ways That Are Dark and Tricks That Are Vain’ in Campaign, Times Washington Bureau, 1322 .Vet o York Alt. CyJI ASHIXOTON*. Oct. 30.—Rret j \X/ Harte was in error when he I w wrote “That for ways that are dark, and for tricks that are [vain, the heathen Chinee is pecu- | liar.” He failed to take due cognizance of the arts and wiles of campaign fund contributors. Os course, his writings antedated the multimillion Republican war chests of today, as revealed by the investigation of the Borah Semite committee on effinpaign funds. For in-tance, Samuel Vauclain, multimilli naire locomotive manufacturer am! bank director, testified he had given only SO,IOO to the Republican campaign fund. After severe cross-examination, he admited he had given SIO,OOO additional to tho American Economic Institute. To Protect Railroads He did mt know, he said, what this money was to he use,] for except to “protect the railroads.” Just how it was to he spent was a matter of no concern to him. He said he had given the money to President Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific Railroad and f-it confident it “would he used properly.” When informed that the American Economic Institute is at present bending all its efforts toward the defeat of I.a Follette and Wheeler, Vauclain expressed approval of such use being made of the money he had given the organization. That automatically increased his campaign contribution from the >6,100 he officially reported to $16,100, the greater portion of w'hioh amount he admitted only Rfter he was driven into a corner by Frank P. Walsh, Senator La Follette’s attorney. Other “dark” means by which campaign funds may be kept out of the official record have also come to light at the Borah meetings. Hired an. Audience T. V. O’Connor, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, admitted that he had paid hotel and taxicab bills for a hired audience to listen to President Conlidge on Labor day. Ho admitted that his purpose in bringing the pseudo labor leaders to Washington was to influence labor votes in favor of the Republican ticket. Yet his expenditure has not made its appearance in the Republican campaign fund records. Three methods of hiding campaign contributions have been discovered during the Borah committee’s sessions: 1. Indirect contributions through organizations such as the American Economic Institute, which, while ostensibly engaged in non-partisan research, actually spends its entire funds in partisan activities. 2. Expenditure of money for a particular campaign stunt, thus keeping all records of the cost off the official accounts. O’Connor’s payment of the labor leaders’ bills, for Instance, will never appear on the books of the Republican national committee. 3. Personal expenditure of funds for newspaper and other advertising. E. L. Doheny, for Instance, admits that in 1920 he spent $25,000 buying newspaper space In the interest of the Harding campaign. No mention of Doheny appeared In the official records filed by the G; O. P. managers. Know Indiana When were the largest railroad labor unions organized in Indiana? In 1863, the engineers, conductors in 1868, firemen, 1873, and trainmen in 1883. Was gold ever discovered In Indiana? Yes. chiefly in Brown and Fountain younties. It is still being found in Creek beds at the foot of the Alaskan glacial drift. When was the first geological 'survey made? In 1837-8 by Robert Dale Owen.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Right Here In INDIANA By Gaylord Nelson HE United States Marine Band is in Indianapolis today u__J for two concerts at Cadle Tabernacle. It is one of the famous military musical organizations in the world—a national institution like the Garde Republicaine Band of France or the Bersaglieri Band of Italy. A brass hand satisfies the popular taste for music gs does nothing else. No cross-roads hamlet has visions of grandeur until it boasts a bonded indebtednness and a resplendently uniformed hand. Boasting these it views rival settlements with complacent disdain. It feels the stirrings of destiny. Many men had two youthful ambitions. One to hold an engine throttle and unconcernedly squirt tobacco juice from the cab window as the train in the village. The other to play in the village band. To toot a horn on the town’s festal occasions was their dream of glory. That ambition was outgrown, hut most men still feel the lure of a band. Let one swing down the street any day and business suspends while all crowd to tlfe curb to watch, and hear, it pass. If Paderewski thrummed a piano on one corner, and a blackface minstrel band tooted a few blocks away, Paderewski wouldn’t have an auditor. 4 The braying band would tie up traffic. Classical music may he an intellectual treat to the average man. But his emotions respond to a band. Duty . lye OBERT L. HE I NY. motorllV cycle policeman, was dis- ' missed from the force for | conduct unbecoming an officer and I neglect of duty. The charges reI suited from his encounter with the supposed bandit car after the Rural Street Bank hold-up. He should have made an effort to | rwortake the car, asserted a ; olice ' lieutenant at the trial. The defi nd- | ant’s lawyer asked the lieutenant if he would approach an automobile , from which protruded a shotgun. | "That's a policeman's duty,” was [ the blunt reply. That answer is tho mainspring to 1 most human actions. It is not only peace officers, flrel men and soldiers who are ruled by ; duty aid risk their lives when It dictates. The ordinary person is as much a slxivo to it as one In uniform. Duty arouses people in the clami my dawn and starts them on their daily tasks when every bone cries for the soft bed. It keeps them steadily in their furrows through an exciting years. Without tins individual response to the cal! of duty civilization would be scrambled and society go to smash. A high sense of duty is a very common characteristic. So univer--1 sal that it excites no comment. Us ! possession is to be expected. | It is only when one lacks it that ! he is pointed out and talked about. Praise 1 RS O. M. PITTKNGER. State president, in her address at an authors’ breakfast, given by the Indiana Federation of Women’s Clubs, tinted constructive Instead of destructive criticism in daily affairs. "We do not need fault-finding so much as we need encouragement and praise," she said. The supply of fault finding always i exceeds tho demand. It is a com i mon indulgence. Such criticism ! rarely effects a change for the bet- | ter. We’ve found fault with the I weather ever since it arrived on the earth, but eons of adverse criticism haven't materially influenced it. Spirited censure raises the tempera- | ture of individual homes on a win--1 ter day. 1 But the weather bureau thermometer remains unimpressed. | Reproof Is a phoney gem unsought. unloved and unvalued; praise lis the radiant jewel that people I prize. They pin it on Their bosoms and swagger. For it’s all too rare. A little honeyed approbation will . convert a limb of Satan into a fair j imitation of a winged cherub. Or a [ rasping-voiced, hnrny-souled traffic cop to the semblance of a demure divinity student. Because we all hunger for crumbs of praise more than we do for a truck load of common victuals. We feed on applause. It makes vanity robust and hale. And vanity Is where we live. Betting Lr~ —a GOAL boards now feature (he betting odds on the election. Ten to nine, three to two, six to five. So read tho chalked figures on the blackboards /where the gamey boys gather. “I’ll beteha,” Is almost our national anthem. Every contest from a bathing girl revue to a world war evokes that refrain. No statement of fact or prophecy can he accepted as based on mature Judgment unless it is accompanied by a flock of bets. The election bet Is the hardiest of the breed. Periodically it stalks haughtily among the sporting fraternity. Naturally it now sprawls all over local betting boards. That’s what they are for. They love to help a shivering orphan wager find a home in the pocket of a blooded gent. As election day nears the views of wise ones, who bet on the results, are of Interest to hardened partisans. So betting odds and betting boards become news. The news is printed. But there is a law against gambling. “Which cannot stop private and clandestine gambling. For that would require more sleuths than private citizens. But it can stop professional and public gambling. Our local betting boards are just that. They aren’t hard to find. The betters find them- Why can’t the law?

COURT WILL GO BEFORE CONGRESS Question Will Be Taken Up Regardless of Election Outcome, Times Washington Bureau, 1322 New York Are. jrTTTj ASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—N0 |\X/ matter who becomes PresiL.ZJU dent, after March 4, the Supreme Court is due for a session on the carpet before Congress. Campaign orators tried to make folks think that if Coolidge were reelected the Supreme Court would not be interfered with, and if La Follette were elected it would be wrecked. Members of Congress have been ' getting a good laugh out of this, j They recall the dozen more hills before Congress as means of pre- | venting the court from overruling j acts of Congress. Inasmuch as many of these hills | in various forms have been intro--1 duced into every Congress ever i since the time when Jefferson was | President, more than a hundred i years ago, Congress expects to have | these bills reintroduced when It re- : convenes. Bills Are Listed Some of these Supreme Court hills are: Senator Da Follette’? bill providing for anew constitutional amend- ' ment which would enable Congress pass laws over a Supreme Court veto, after the court had declared the laws unconstitutional. This constitutional amendment, of course, would have to have a two-thirds majority of Congress and have to be i okehed by three-fourths of the ; State Legislatures of the United ! States. I Representative Frear of Wiscon- : in has offered a constitutional | amendment almost identical to that I of Senator Da Follette. | Senator Fess of Ohio has proposed 'that by constitutional amendment : the Supreme Court be prevented i from declaring a law unconstitutional unless all hut one of the justices concur in that decision, j Several bills have been introduce! calling for a majority of sov -n of :he nine justices to make valid a ruling lon the constitutionality of a law. Five Required i At present it. requires but five of [the nine Justices. The present controversy over the Supreme Court’s ; powers rages mainly because one ! justice holds veto powers over a law ; in the case of a five to four decision. | Senator Owen of Oklahoma has! j offered a bill forbidding the Su preme Court to nullify laws. Owen; holds that the courts are creatures | of Congress, and that a <r,.nstltu-1 ! tional amendment is 'unnecessary! to decide the issue. Owen thinks ! I that if the Supreme Court defied- | rhis law and declared it ui onsM- | tutionol. Congress should retaliate Iby Impeaching the justices who j voted to declare unconstitutional 1 the law that would limit their powers. Senator Borah of Idaho is another who would curtail the power < f the courts. Borah is inclined to, think that a law w •u 1 1 bo sufficient, j Borah calls attention to the clause' in the Constitution which says “the I Supreme Court shall have appellate I jurisdiction both .as to law and fact with such Instructions and under' such regulations as Congress shall make.” Could Override Veto A curious angle of this Supreme Court controversy is the fact that jit would make little or no diff-ea-nee jw ho happened to lie in the Whim ; House if Congress decided to pass j a constitutional amendment limiting \ the court's powers. If Congress | has the necessary two-thirds vote to j pass Da Follettc's constitutional amendment. It would also have tho same two-thirds to override a pres! dentil! veto. This would not lie the case, of course, ]f Congress decided to pass a law as Borah and a number of other Republicans have Urged, i Their reason for preferring this method is that it would be quicker. Senator La Follette prefers the con stitutlonal amendment because he thinks It is nioro sure. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that La Follette will have more authority and opportunity to deal I with this Supremo Court question [ns Senator than he would have as ; President, though his political enemies in the campaign do not seem to think so. Tho reason is that a President cannot inaugurate a constitutional amendment, except by asking somebody else to do it for him. while a member of Congress can do it and can be powerful in urging its passage. Inasmuch as the Supreme Court question was one of the hold-over problems left undone by the last Congress, it Is probable (hat It will be taken up soon after Congress reconvenes. Tongue Tips PROF. GUS W. DYER, Dos Moines: “It is no reflection on the individuals that compose the crowd to any that the crowd cannot, as a crowd, direct anything wisely or safely.” A. B. HOUGHTON, American ambassador to Germany: “Taken by and large, the farmers in our middle j western and western States and our j industrialists have more to gain for I the next quarter century than any one else by the rebuilding of Germany.” ALFRED PIERCE DENNIS, writer: “Northern Europeans suffered actual want as an alternative to eating bread made of corn. It is all a matter of habit.” D. J. TABER, grange master: “The farmer’s problem is economic, not political.” RAY W. SHERMAN, editor of “Motor:” “Sixty per cent of the motor cars sold are closed cars. This is because the women desire closed cars. Motor cars are being driven twice as far as they were five years ago. This is because women drive them.’'

Science The human backbone is one of the most remarkable of all nature's inventions. “Subluxatlons” Is a term frequently used in study of tfhe backbone. It means dislocations of the spinal vertebrae. Dr. L. C. Kellogg, Instructor In anatomy in a California medical i school, has Just finished a research on these dislocations. It was under- j taken largely because such dislocations have been supposed to he rather common and certain manipulations of the spinal vertebrae for “treatments" have been based on this theory. Dr. Kellogg first tried pressure with a lever, on sections of a back- j bone, attempting to dislocate the second lumbar vertebrae. He in- j creased the force up to 1,200 pounds. This caused the hone to break but did not dislocate it. In another experiment he tried to dislocate the spine by side thrust. On the application of 1,315 pounds the bone was crushed without the cartilages* giving away—that is, without sublaxation. These experiments hear out a report from St. Bartholomew’s Hos-; pital, London, that, in a examination of 30,000 spines, there has not, beer, found a single case'of disloca-1 tion without fracture, f

In the dajs that are gone, at the break of the dawn we would hitch up old Dobbin and ride. The shout of hurray sent the old one-horse shay to the cheerful and bright countryside. But now things are changed and they're all rearranged. The auto forced Dobbin out soon. It takes but an hour, though we're still on horsepower, and it used to take all afternoon. Where Dobbin was strutting nowdays we’re put-puttin’. ’Tis funny how things come to pass. Once the horse had a rep but it's now out of step as we just have to step on the gas. And when we arrive, all the air is alive with the spirit that makes it a fac’, that though autos take us, the countrysides make us just wish that old Dobbin were back.
