THE POWER BEHIND Will the people of this State be satisfied until some power has solved one of the big mysteries of the present investigation of the Stephenson graft charges? That mystery is the identity of the power which gives such assurance that witness after witness may flaunt the power of this grand jury, saunter back at will, and with great bravado, defy the courts to make them tell where they have been or the reasons for their disappearance. First it was a girl who left the home of her parents and, if their evidence be true, left no address. The girl lives at home. Ordinarily It might be expected that parents would be alarmed by such an absence. Most parents would call upon the police or detectives to discover what had become of her. In these days of morons and unrestrained crime against girls, the usual procedure would be a cry for help. But theer was no such appeal until the grand jury had taken her mother to court and then sent out the appeal for the daughter to come back and relieve her mother from unpleasant experiences with the jury. It now develops that this girl, presumed to he the confidant and custodian of the Stephenson documents, had deliberately absented herself from the State when the jury took up the search. Then went Julian, the business partner of Stephenson, who appeals to the court to save him from answering questions on the ground that he fears that he may be indicted for his own acts. Julian, according to the testimony of his wife, was away for a month without sending any word of his whereabouts or giving any reason for his absence. He is not only a husband hut the father of small children and under ordinary conditions there might have been expected some anxiety for the missing man. True, he had been shown such unusual consideration - by the keeper of Stephenson that perhaps those who would have been concerned by his disappearance believed that some special divinity protected him and followed him wherever he went. He was gone for four weeks and then returned in the company of a lawyer with whom he had visited Stephenson in his cell, the only private citizen allowed to see Stephenson since his letters proclaiming that he had documentary evidence of grave crimes in his possession and protested that he was being jobbed and betrayed by his former friends. And now goes a third, another woman who is presumed to have had at some time a power of attorney for Stephenson—a wife of a year—and her husband says that he knows nothing of her whereabouts or the reason for her disappearance. They happen too often to be without significance, —these disappearances of persons who at Some time admit they had the confidence of Stephenson and possession of boxes presumed to contain something. They have too much assurance, these disappearing persons, to permit the belief that they ran in fear. They have too much the attitude of absolute protection to admit any theory except one. That is that behind these tag-playing witnesses is a power great enough In this State to give them assurance when they flaunt the power of the State and act in a manner which is, at least, strange and unusual. And when they talk at all it is only to prove that Stephenson has boxes of something which he thinks so valuable that they are passed along and hidden. Circumstances prove, as nothing else could prove, the truth of the statement that this convict who once ruled this State and made and unmade government for It does have documents. They prove that there is some mighty force in this State which is powerful enough to send a girl from her home, a husband from his wife and children, a wife from her husband—and which is interested in keeping those documents from the grand jury. Will the people of this State rest until that force and power be disclosed and the reasons for these strange occurrences revealed in their relations td the government of this State? Will the Legislature, so soon' to meet, consider it has any hijjjier duty to perform than to discover who it is that can force defiance of orderly processes of government? Os what use to pass laws if there be those who can set them aside at will? There Is a task a-head and It is to discover not only what every witness called by the local grand jury may know but who it is that can drive or force or otherwise influence a man and two women to conveniently disappear without fear on the part of those close and near to them. And that task will he fulfilled. The Times pledges itself to its readers and the public. WHAT IS A MERGER? Shrewd lawyers, with political followings, will tell the public service commission that the joining of the two light companies into a single organization is not a merger. The law says that when two companies of a similar character are merged, the total capitalization must not exceed the combined capitalization of the individual companies. It is proposed to capitalize this single company at many millions of dollars above this present combined capitalization. The legal process of distinguishing between a merger and whatever this is called is that both companies are to be bought by a third company, anew one. If that subterfuge goes, the provision in regard to mergers can well be erased from the law books, where it was written as a protection for the people against watered stocks and frenzied finance. The purpose of huge issues of securities is plain. They furnish a borrowing power. They will perhaps be passed on to widows and orphans, for whom the public, service commissions and corporation lawyers are always so solicitous. While the suave gentlemen who juggle millions as the slight of hand artist at Keith’s juggles ivory balls, producing new ones at will and making them disappear, assure the people that the rates will be lowered, the one real reason for this capitalization

is to make real any extra millions of value written into the issue of securities. It may be taken as fundamental that this city should have but one electric company. That is the economical way of conducting public utilities. It should reduce the cost to the people In overhead charges and duplication of effort. But the charge for securing that condition ought not to make millionaires out of men who perform no other service than borrowing money from banks and hiring lawyers to draw contracts. The hurried zeal of these financiers to put through their projects is suspicious in Itself and would, If there were no other reason, demand a public protest until all the facts can be checked. The people are In a helpless position. The present city administration has not exhibited any great force or acumen in handling any project, and certainly none of this character. There is always the excuse that it cannot afford to hire experts. The corporations have them on their pay rolls. They have the best lawyers who know their way about In hidden places of politics. If there is to be any protection for the public it must come from .the unofficial bodies and especially the Chamber of Commerce. It would be a sorry start for that goal of Indianapolis First if this city is to accept, without inquiry and without investigation, a hurried verdict at a one-sided hearing before a commission already loaded with a reputation for being quite complacent to the appeals of political lawyers with corporation clients. AVOIDABLE TRAGEDIES There was no safety exit out of the North Lake mine- No precaution had been taken against nearby quicksand formation. So there are only two men left alive in North Lake today. And the rest of the people there are widows and fatherless children of men who lie drowned in the bottom of the shaft. Death is tragic and accidental death la more tragic. But death that might have been prevented is the worst tragedy of all. Mine accidents don’t have to happen. Tet ninety men die yesterday and fifty-one today, and sixty-five tomorrow, and on and on—because it costs money to prevent accidents. When all of us care enough, accidents will stop. State governments can stop them if we demand it i Headlines you never see: "I TOOK CORRESPONDENCE COURSE,’’ PADEREWSKI TELLS HEARERS. It gets dark early these evenings.

THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE By N. D. Coehran

Some of the wiser and more sincere preachers in Illinois are shocked at the attitude of the Anti-Saloon League toward the senatorial contest In that State. The league is actively supporting Frank L. Smith, the Republican ..candidate for United States Senator, in spite of the fact that Smith, though chairman of the Illinois State Commerce Commission, accepted considerably over a hundred thousand dollars worth of financial assistance from Sam Insull, biggest utility magnate in Illinois. Smith is dry and George Brennan, the fJemocratlc candidate, is wet. But Hugh Magee, eminently respectable and bone dry*, is running as an Independent candidate against the two old party candidates, both of whom took Insull money. And Magee is backed by preachers and other drys who gag at the immorality of the extravagant use of money in party primaries. But there Is something to be said for the consistency of the Anti-Saloon League. If that organization were really making a moral crusade of Its fight for prohibition, it might reasonably be criticised for supporting Smith. But Its fight for prohibition was not and is not a moral crusade; it is an economic campaign. the purpose of which was to make labor more efficient by taking beer and other intoxicants away from it. That is why Big Business put up the money to finance the Anti-Saloon League’s fight for prohibition. Big employers of labor were not interested so much In the morality of their employes as In their efficiency as workman. Had morality been the big consideration the employers wouldn’t have stocked their own cellars with all kinds of liquors when they took them away from employes. So the Anti-Saloon League, as a political agency carrying out the purpose of their big contributors, is not concerned so much about the moral side of prohibition as about the economic side. The trouble about the Illinois situation is that many preachers all over the country turned their pulpits over to the hired speakers of the Anti-Salcon League In the belief that the fight for prohibition was a moral crusade. Most of them didn’t know that the man behind the gun was Big Business. Or that the big' vote the Anti-Saloon League was delivering was the so-called church vote. Hence the surprise of some preachers and some members of their congregations when they discover that political morality or immorality Is of secondary importance to the Anti Saloon League leaders, and that it makes little or no difference what kind of a citizen a candidate may be otherwise so long as he is dependably dry. But that is no new attitude for the politicians of the Anti-Saloon League- If national and State governments are crowded with incompetent officials, if we have weak Governors, weak Congressmen, weak Legislators and judges, it Is in part due to the fact that candyiates for office were not Judged by anything hut their attitude toward prohibition. What if Frank L v Smith Is the chosen candidate of the puhlic utilities of Illinois? What If he did get big contributions toward his primary campaign from Sam Insull? What if he was chairman of the State commission that regulated rates for gas, electricity and street railway transportation, the life blood of Sam Insull’s public utilities? He is dry. Anti that's what the Anti-Saloon League Is Interested in. Some of those preachers who insist on political morality even on the part of dependable drys may get a spanking from the Anti Saloon League if they don't watch out. They should not forget that the league is the official political arm of the church militant. ' * Next: Free Trade and Andy Mellon

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy 'Tacks' Latimer Has Won Right to an Ohio Pardon.

By M. E. Tracy When at Columbus some two months ago, I went through the Ohio penitentiary. “Tacks” Latimbr was my guide. Knowing something of his story. I was naturally Interested in him. Besides, he Is of the type and character to impress anyone, big, frank and impulsive; the kind who bares his soul largely through the things he leaves unsaid. Afterward I talked with Warden Thomas about him. “I never go behind the returns,” said the warden, "but take them as they come. It is not my business to inquire whether the courts have been too lenient or too severe. ‘Tacks’ is the sort of prisoner, however, that I would not be afraid to give a gun if a break occurred.” Last Monday a break did occur, and, though the warden was not there to give him a gun, “Tacks” Latimer found one and fired the first shot to stop it, proving not. only the stuff that is In him but the accuracy of Warden Thomas’ appraisal. I am not very strong for pardons, as reader of this column well know. I think the way they have been Issued is little short of disgraceful. But is seems to me that “Tacks” Latimer has earned one. -I- -I- -ITwo Killed Mrs. Mills Enough has been brought out to suggest that at least two persons were directly Implicated In the HallMills murder. One was cool and expert marksman. The other was a person who was either beside himself with rage or mentally defective. The wounds show this. The three bullets entering Mrs. Mills’ head were clustered within a four-inch circle, and that is something only a long practiced hand could do In the dark. The sweeping stroke with which her head was nearly severed evidences uncontrolled passion. It is simply beyond common sense to imagine that the same person planted those bullets with such fatal precision and wielded the knife with such abandoned brutality. -I- I IPennsylvania Puzzle According to the Pennsylvania law there should have been two Democrats at every polling place. If they had been of the right sort to represent the party and protect its Interests they would have vot'd. This means it hard* for a Pennsylvania judge, as well as some other peop.’e, to figure out how there could be thirty precincts with not a single Democratic vote. Even if there were no Democrats, and if the two party representatives failed to vote in each of these thirty precincts, it is still hard to visualize 6.000 citizens without so much as one Independent or dissenter. Obviously the problem calls for investigation, not only from a political, but from a psychological standpoint. Who knows but that science may discover the secret of human accord and everlasting peace if it can determine the influence that caused 6,000 Philadelphians, spread through thirty precincts, to display this 100 per cent unanimity. Not only are the services of Senator Reed called for, but those of our best alienist as well. I- I- IWonder of Science If it were not for the hop* that science offers, and if we were com- , pelled to draw sur Inspiration from the discouraging freaks of crime and politics, the future would look gloomy Indeed. But science, ranging across space to the star that still shines, though It might have gone out before Columbus was born and penetrating the soul of things until it can see what is beyond the eye and hear what Is beyond the ear. opens up an inspiring realm of adventure. -I- ! -I----256 Miles an Hour Yesterday, Lieutenant Cuddihy flew a seaplane at the rate of 256 miles an hour. This is more than four times as fast as our fastest railroad train and would, if kept up, mean crossing the Atlantic ocean between suns. According to officials of the New York Telephone Comp>an.v, subscribers will he able to talk with their friends in London shortly after the first of the year. This feat will he made possibly by connecting telephones wires to radio stations on each coast, translating electrical impulses into either waves and throwing the human voice through the 1 air for a distance of 3,000 miles. I -|. -|. j Nobler Battlefield Young people are fortunate to be born in this day and generation. Theirs Is the opportunity to go far, to accomplish worth while things, to win fame, without injuring each other. Science has visualized a bigger, nobler battlefield for the human race. War and politics compel men to fight each other, with crushed and blighted lives to taint the glory of every triumph. Science offers combat, with no less thrills and with more worthwhile achievements at the end. where all men can stand shoulder to shoulder beating down the common enemies of disease and ignorance, and where turn against his brother to attain the desired end. Can the age of a d-cr he told by its antlers? “ To some extent.- The first spring after birth the horns are straight, unbranched “beams.” The following spring a small branch Is formed at the base known as “brow antlers.” At three years an extra front branch is formed and the fourth year the brow antlers are doubled and at the same time the top of the main hearrj divides Into sur-royals. From the fifth year on these sur-royals become numerous.^

Recent investigations have not discredited the atomlo theory, but a new discovery shows that atoms are not indivisible. They consist of still smaller particles; but tho atoms exist ail the same. With the dlf* covery of radium and radio-activity, it was found that one substance after another possessed the power of emitting rays, that is, to be radioactive, and today it Is known that nearly every form of matter can be stimulated to radio-activity, which means simply that its atoms break up into smaller and marvelously energetic particles which have been called electrons. Electrons are particles of disembodied electricity; they are a constituent of atoms; they occupy an exceedingly small volume and the ‘maos” of on electron is entirely electrical. Neither atoms nor electrons ca nbe seen through the most powerful nlcroscopes, although science has (found meansJ for weighing and measuring atoms" What Is the current value of n United States Trade Dollar dated 1872? 76 cents. What fa the Aurora Borealis. and where Is It usually seen? These phenomena are undoubtedly the result of electrical discharges. One theory is that they are due to the ascent of positive electricity (from the surfaces of ln.tertroplcal waters) which, wafted by the high er aerial currents, flows toward the poles and in the region of the jinloj descends toward the earth, and in a highly rorifled atmosphere, comes in contact with the terrestrial negative electricity, resulting in luminous discharges. The Aurora Borealis, Latin for “northern light or dawn,” appear as great streamers of light flaring across the sky, assuming various forms and colors, sometimes brilliant yellow, green, violet, rose or fiery red. Frequently the whole Is covered with a quivering mass of feathery flame. Although the zone of greatest frequency Is the north, auroras are sometimes (rarely) seen In the torrid zone. According to one authority, In America the region of maximum frequency is between latitude 60 degrees and 80 degrees north and in Europe and Asia between the parrallels of 66 degrees and 7S degrees. The*c Is a corresponding display in high southern latitudes known as “Aurora Australis.** Will you tell me something about Benny Leonard, the boxer?
