NEWBERRY’D ~7“]DD another name to those Newberry’d by the voters for balloting to seat Truman H. Newberry in his bought and paid for seat in the United States Senate. The latest victim of the voters’ wrath is Holm 0. Bursum, Old Guard Senator from New Mexico. He won’t be back next year. A Democrat will take his place. His defeat makes the fifth casualty among those who stood by Newberry this year. Ball of Delaware, Sterling of Colorado and McCormick of Illinois were rejected in the primaries. Elkins of West Virginia quit before election. Sixteen Newberry Senators have now been thrown out of the Senate by the votes of the people. Eighteen must yet run the gauntlet at the polls in 1926. They are Cameron of Arizona, Cummins of lowa, Curtis of Kansas, Ernst of Kentucky, Gooding of Idaho. Harreld of Oklahoma. Lenroot of Wisconsin, McKinley of Illinois, Oddie of Nevada. Pepper of Pennsylvania, Shortridge of California, Sr 9 q of Utah, Spencer of Missouri. Stanfield of Oregon, Wadsworth of New York, Watson of Indiana, Weller of Maryland aud Willis of Ohio. Fate hangs a heavy sword over the heads of those who stood by Newberry in that notorious ballot. Tilt: JAYWALKER mX some populous cities, including Indianapolis, they are having difficulty trying to exterminate the genus jaywalker. Folks just will cross streets carelessly, and they insist on trying to sneak through when the policeman has ordered the traffic to move in the other direction. In New York, for instance, this habitual jaywalking has become so serious that the police arrest jaywalkers whenever some lively cop can nab one before death or an umbulancc does. One reason why folks try to sneak past through traffic to the middle of the street is that if they do wait patiently on the curb, often they don’t have time to get entirely across before the whistle blows. Another is that old folks and youngsters often get rattled and make mistakes. Sometimes the hope of avoiding a mob nr a jam provokes folks to jaywalk. Most of the time it's just plain boneheadedness or carelessness or recklessness. Laws and police may stop this, hut it will take a lot of them, and strong ones—both the laws and the police. And it will take so long a time to change people that the change won't do most of us any good. M bat the cities of this country really need is a crop of inventive "eniuses, with an engineering bent, to devise vehicular or elevated passageways, or something that will make jaywalking impossible without depending on laws or police. Meantime, Old Sharon will do much business at the ferry over the Styx, where there are no jaywalkers, unless you count dead has-beens. “SEE GERMANY FIRST,” is the invitation to American tourists over there. Business as usual. IT MAY BE that they named the airship “Los Angeles” with the hope that it would take the place of helium. S.R TOM LIPTOX will make a fifth and last attempt to lift the cup. but he must understand that it cannot be the one that cheers. KANSAS < ITY STAR avers that it is “just as wrong to lie in polities as it is in business.” What, indeed, is the world coming to? THE OHIO MAN who sold fatal denatured alcohol to eighteen persons got two years in prison, which is denatured justice, it appears.

Skatin 9 By HAL COCHRAN Gracv has its place on the old skatin’ rink, where the young and the old join in fun. Os health in real wealth you are right on the brink when habitual skating is done. Soon comes the call, at the end of the fall, for the glide and the slide on the ice. Grab off the treat. Put some skates on your feet and you'll find that the pleasure is nice. While strength you’re employing and skating enjoying, remember your vigor and vim makes blood circulate and your pulse palpitate and it keeps your old system in trim. When outdoor wafts tingle, ‘tis then you should mingle with nature and get the fresh air. That's why I'm suggesting that you be investing in skates for an exercise tear.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EDUCATION IS THE WA Y TO SUCCESS 1 * 'College Men and Women Lead in 'Who’s Who’ List. Times Washington Bureau. 1.1X2 Sew York Are. i TyT? ASHINGTON, Nov. B.—Love, j W health, gold, fame —how to | ___] win them! And if we knew the answer, what would tlftre be left to life? But guide-posts along the way help and j encourage. Leaving the first: three to Martha Lee, science and the schools of success, there is yet the path of fame to be charted, and the handbook of fame, “Who’s Who in America,’’ blazons the way. The guidepost set up by “Who’s Who” is education. In that roster of notables there are 24,278 men and women listed. Os > these. 22,077* have furnished data as j to their education, and figuring from ! this basis, ft study of the famous 1 i shows: That 77.20 per cent of the most ! successful persons in America at--1 tended college. j That fi11.67 per cent of this mim-; j her graduated from college, j That only 8.7*2 per cent of those j I who had nothing hut a grammar school education climbed the long i j ladder upward: only 5.35 per cent of; I those who ended their education with high school, and onlv 1.64 pop cent of those who finished with a normal school education. Chances Vre Small Self-made men have only one chance in 41.8 of attaining fame. There are only fifty-eight in the hook who list theniHelves as “selfeducated.” It is interesting to note by com- 1 p.arisen with earlier ’ Who’s Who" J statistics that the percentage of I successful ones have taken college! degrees has increased in tin- last j twenty years. This would indicate k th'it education is hecoming ni**i" an 1 more imperative. Analyzing fame still farther, it is j possibi* to learn from what kind of; homes the worth-while man and | women of the country eotne. in pro i portion to the population of Ix7c. the census date nearest tin* hirtlii date of most of the notable* in the ! book, suburbs of cities furnish--! tlio* greatest niunb-r of great men, shat-! tering the "I*l tradition that tlaying;

; cabin or tiu> farm is the only setj ting for glory. J Suburbs contributed eleven times I as many notables as did the farm; ; villages nine times as many, and cities six times os many. Children of cJergymtn will more probably attain fame than children of other parentage. Eleven and one tenth per cent of ail persons in the book had a clergyman father. About the year 1870 one clergyman tn each fifteen had a child who is now famous. Considering the number of prearhers of that period in relation to the total population then, it is evident that clergymen fathered twenty-eight times the average num ; her of notables. Preachers' Sons Successes Nearly 2.460 times as many famous men find women began life in the home of a preacher as did in Hie home-' of an unskilled laborers; thirty-five times the number in farm homes; four times the number in business men's homes, and twice Hie average in other professional men’s homes. Figures fifty years from now will show entirely different percentages, however, for the children of laboring men have far greater opportunity for education, leisure for development and self expression than did the chib dren of former lijiorers. and this sac tor is undoubtedly an important one j In success. As to geography, more notables were born in Now York than anywhere else and more live there at present time. As birthplaces for the famous, Massachusetts ranksecond, and then Pennsylvania., Ohio. Illinois, Indiana, lowa and Michigan. As present residence, the order is Massachusetts second, Illinois, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, California, Ohio and New Jersey. Eighty nine per cent of the famous are native born. By far the largest percentage of foreign born citizennotables have come from Canada and England.

HOW CITY 0 WNED CA R LINE WORKS j Public Ownership Financial Success, San Francisco Finds, Bn J,.,,* * Sjoria! rpn AN FRANCISCO. Nov. 8 Twelve years ago the people 1. -of .San Francisco mortgaged their homes tor $5 520,000 to build a municipal railroad. To*lay the book value of the municipal railway is $10,000,000. The people still owe $4,011,000, so their net assets, or the money they now havc ar.d < 1 i*i not have twelve years ago, is $7*.089,000. Asa matter of fact, thq actual value of the railway is $12,000,000. which means the people have almost J 8 000,000 more today than they had twelve years ago. The railroad has grown from a two-route system, with 10.9 miles of single track, forty-three ears and 1 o implove* t*i a system with eighty miles of single track. 200 street cars, a dozen automobile ; busses, and 1.000 employes. In twelve years the municipal railway has piled up a surplus of $2.874.183.54, after deducting operating expenses depreciation, accident r* rve, bond redemption and l.i ,nd interest. Tit*'* balance left to pay capital charges of bond redemption and bond interest was $6,- . 835,186.31. Surplus Still Large “But if the railroad had had to ' pay taxes and atorneys’ fees and * l,e like, as a privately owned utility must, it wouldn't have made such . showing." say those who are opposed to municipal ownership. If .the municipal railraod had paid '; h*>s*- charges, its twelve-year sur;,ius would have been reduced from >2,874.183 to $1,763,719 —aud the latter figure is ho puny Bum.

Kspechtlly important is the fact that $1,509,000 worth of bonds have been amortized. Kventually all the bonds will be redeemed and the considerable sum paid nut in interest each year will go to the people. Most private companies ttever redeem their bonds with cash. They merely issue new bonds to replace the old. Thus private companies pay high interest rates forever—perpetual profits for a few persons. But til! the profits of the municipal railway cannot be shown in a financial statement. Consider sotni' of ‘he “intangible profits”—to borrow a word from private uiility managers. Has 5-Ont Fare Greatest among those “intangible profits" is the fact that San Francisco is one of the few cities in the country with a 5-cent street car fare. The fare never went above 5 cents during the war period, either. And chiefly responsible for keeping fares at 5 cents was the competition of the municipal railroad. List year 251,292,950 persons rode on the electric cars in San Francisco —privately and municipally owned. These passengers, at 5 cents each, paid $12,504,647.60. If street car fares had been 7 cents, San Franciscans would have paid $17.590,506.50 — or $5,025,859 more than they did pay. That’s almost as much as the 520,000 the people mortgaged themselves for their railroad—and saved in one year. That’s one “intangible profit” not shown in a financial statement.

Tom Sims Says Dream may be suppressed wishes, as Freud says, but who ever wished the devil would chase him? Nothing hurts your luck as much as thinking you haven't any. It. is a wise man who looks things ( over instead of overlooking tilings. | A good man. like great riches, is j often faked. Nerve is a funny tiling. You have ! it with you until you need it. And then you lose it suddenly. Many a supposedly good Christian cusses when ills radio gives h:m t sermon instead of jazz music. A little cussing now and then is ; relished by the best of men. The world gets better. We saw a movie that didn’t end with a kiss. The stone-age man had his wife ! at his feet, but the modern man has j her at his heels. Most men want a heavyweight ! purse for a lightweight fight. ; Work never hurts a man unless ! he keeps away from It. A man in love will do anything, hut he usually does nothing, A man seldom turns over anew ; leaf until the old one Is ail smeared. The, needle is mightier than the pin. Almost time to take hack what we said about hot weather. Nothing come to him who sits down and waits. A man who howls at everything is usually treated like a dog. Most of the man who think they lie to their wives don't. The millions of gernts on money and in kisses never make a man refuse either. The original name of the orange, j was “naran.l,” which is why they , changed it Science William Beebe, director of the tropical .station of the New York Zoological Society, after a fivemonths' expedition in British Guiana, South America, returned with many curious animals and reptiles, but failed to capture the one he most wanted —a vampire bat. In many parts of South America there are tales of vampire bats. These are so mixed with superstition and weird stories that many are inclined to believe the vampire bat a myth. However, it really exists and is an object of great interest to scientists. The vampire bat lives on blood, preferably human blood. This causes the stories of persons being killed, while asleep, by these creatures. Tt is about the size of a common bat and has four very small and sharp teeth. It works ] so skillfully that the person who ! is bitten is unaware of it. If a person moves and frightens it away the small wound the hat has made will liiei'd. If it is not frightened away it will close the wound with an anticeptic secretion and return the next night. A victim may be greatly weakened by these attacks, j The Bobber Shop By C. A. 1,.

SATURDAY, NOV. 8, 1924

Right Here In INDIANA By Gaylord Nelson j UNN YSIDE SANITORt I’ M, Marion County's institution for the treatment of tuberculosis, is laying in its winter fuel supply. A slow and Tedious process, for the coal must be unloaded and trucked from Oaklandon. This method of delivery is expensive to Ihe county. Yet there is a sidetrack connecting to sanatorium with the Union Traction line. Over which coal cars could easily be delivered direct. It can’t be used. Because to reach the traction line the Big Four must move cars over a switch on Federal land at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. And the railroad can’t do that without permission. If Ft. Harrison and Stinnyside were private enterprises an arrangement for the use of the switch would lie simple. Two minutes' talk over the phone or a chat at lunch would settle the matter. But Washington doesn’t function that way. It only moves ponderously after interminable preliminary whirring of wheels. So authorities at the army post? though willing, can’t grant permission to use the sidetracks without an act of Configress. Which to pass will take three or four years. The system of conducting public business must be rigid and fool proof’ for public officials are not always expert executives—but always genial boys who get the votes. So efficiency—if present—is only an incidental by-product of the Government machine. The usual output is entangling red tape.

Alarms i MAIL truck driven north on Illinois St. Thursday night ——-J skidded and struck the fire | alarm box at the Maryland St. corner. Fire apparatus and police tore j out to suppress riot, murder and j conflagration. It was only a dress rehearsal for j them. Just one of three hundred false alarms turned in during the year. Trt tills Instance accidental—but most of them are not accidents. A favorite prank of humorist* of the Mutt-and-Jeff school of comedy is to pul! a signal box bite at night. Then beat it. It’s a side-splitting act. But not so funny to the fire department. Whizzing out in the night atop a surging piece of apparatus when no emergency requires isn't i mirth provoking. Fire trucks sometimes skid or collide—and the remains of once able-bodied firemen are mopped from the pavement with ‘ sponges. ; When that occurs in responding to i a prank firemen who were scrambled and sopped up fail to see a point to j the merry quip. Nevertheless, sending a false j alarm is comical. Three hundred | false alarms received each year cost i the fire department $15,000. A tidy sum for one variety of jest. For that'amount Indianapolis could hire i A1 Jolson and a flock of minstrel | troupes. ! Tax ESTERDAY the State Supreme Court upheld the gasoline tax law. It sustained ! the St. Joseph County Superior j Court in denying an injunction to i t South Bend oil dealer, who sought : to prevent collection of the charge. Now the State treasury can draw j a long breath again. For that little 2 cents per gallon 1 makes one of the most succulent morsels fed to the hungry treasury. | The levj? yielded over $500,000 in r September. ! No tax can be painted or glossed jto imitate a lily or any other object, of beauty. Tt remains a tax and ! therefore abhorrent to al! private citizens. But we in Indiana take prfdc in our State highways. They are necessary in making the State attractive and livable. Highways can't he constructed and maintained by mere word of mouth. Money is required in large chunks. And the State doesn’t produce i money by wand waving or other painless magic. It must resort to i assessments—which are neither pair, j less nor magical. i Most excise methods knock the taxpayer down and cut out his j heart. | The gasoline levy is gentler. Tt causes the least distress to its quarry—the purse of the consumer—of any tax. So, as taxes go, it is a gentleman—endured if not loved by most people of the State. Laziness “JOSEPH M. HUTH, 20 years old, of Richmond, Ind., was ..-i sent to jail yesterday for vagrancy. The complaint was made ; by the young man's father. I On earnings of less than $lB a Week the father maintains a family of ten. Y’et. despite this fact, the son refused to work. He looked to . the'father for support. The hoy claimed as a minor he is entitled to parental maintenance. He was strong on filial devotion, but weak in the back. Just plain lazy. Which is a mighty common disease. Almst every man has at least on > lazy bone in bis body. However, he doesn’t permit that lazy bone to control or make its care hi.s career. And he doesn't brag about his laziness. Or expect an $lB-per-week father to care for him after he is large enough to shift for himself. It's pleasant to contemplate doing nothing, but the pleasure is all in anticipation, not realization. For nearly every one has appetites and desires—material and spiritual—that can riot bo satisfied in a state of suspended animation. To gratify these desires men get out and hustle regardless of the whines of their lazy bones. They find the sure cures for laziness are appetitie and pride. When Wife Says So “Man is a tyrant, isn't he. John?” “Really, my dear, I hardly—” “Is he or is he not?” “He is.”
