The Elephant Doctor When Senator James Eli Watson arrives home tomorrow in his new aml rather difficult role of physician to a very sick elephant, the voters of the Republican party hope that he will bring some magic pills. For it is dawning upon the politicians that the voters of that party will demand that the elephant be cured and not manicured. It will hardly do for the Senator to come back with the announcement that some inoffensive man had consented to become a candidate for Governor in the hope that the people will forget many things that have occurred recently and make them forget other things that are bound to happen. No real doctor, whether if be for humans or elephants, would try to cure symptoms. The thing that is wrong with the elephant reaches much deeper and is much more serious than the mere election of some weak or overly ambitious men. It goes to the pollution of the blood streams. The disrepute of the party and the necessity for this trip of the senior Senator came when the party left principle behind and began chasing merely for power. It came when the prestige of the great men of the past was bartered for power and sold to the forces of hate and intolerant bigotry. What good would be done for the State or for that political party if the best that Watson can find to present is an innocuous candidate for the governorship and no mention made of a candidate for the United States Senate? Would it be possible for even the Senator to discover a man worthy of confidence of the independent voters in bis own party who would consent to he a nominee for Governor if his running mate were to be Senator Arthur Robinson? Would any man with any consideration for his own interests care.to go into a campaign with the keynote pitched on apology? The spectacle of Watson acting as the master mind in any sick-room conference to restore the Republican elephant to health has its humorous aspects. For it must be remembered that the Senator was pretty much on the. job while the organization which is now discredited was going to smash and that he was a beneficiary of the very forces which dishis own party. The people will try in vain to remember any protest that he made against the kidnaping of his party, —- Just as a suggestion and because this newspaper believes that the safety of the people and the best interests of the State can be had through a competition between two parties on a basis of courage aud conscience, through two organizations which are determined to see how much they can give the people rather than how little, why not begin with a thorough appraisal of the standing of Robinson? Would a ticket on which he was put forward for a vote of confidence command much Confidence ? Perhaps the Republican voters, acting In sie primary, may decide that the situation <Tejhands something more than the advice of Wat.r ~ ' , son. •M They mlghf, If given a chance, decide that $ new deal means just that and determine to g|(|||kagain with new faces, new leaders and a SP|pFdevotion to public interest. A Pertinent Question ■ Senator Caraway Intends to have the Senate ask ■the army engineers whether the flood control plan reIcently submitted to Congress was the one the eng!i Sneers agreed upon, or whether it was changed at the ■request of President Coolidge.

(Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel) (Republlin> Certain newspapers’ anxiety to procure for the President a dignified and remunerative post after his retirement on March. 4. 1929, has reached the point where they are furnishing him some amusement. For some time these newspapers had him formally installed as president of Amherst of which he is a graduate. ■After this rumor had run for six (months a really historic meeting of the Amherst trustees was held at Mr. Coolidge's call in the White House, and anew president—not Mr. Coolidge—was selected out of hand. Tire next move was his nomination for the post of chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, as successor to the late Judge Gary, but in various ways the President frowned that thought out of the picture by allowing that he expected to spend his leisure years in doing a little whittling. Within the last week these newspaper guides and mentors have elected him as Senator frqm Massachusetts, following the recent announcement of William M. Butler that he would not be a candidate in 1928. Anticipating the possibility that, before they got throughputs would have him

What Other Editors Think

aspiring to the House of Representatives. the President is reported to have declared at a newspaper conference the other day, that as yet his future was his own, and that he was in no special need of suggestions—remarking quizzically that, while so far the suggestors had not given such a hint, he feared, unless he said something, they would be nominating him for councilman in the city of Northampton, Mass. (Elkhart Truth) (Independent) Aftr hearing so much about the ridiculousness of the Remus murder case, and about the general leniency of American judges and juries toward murderers and those who attempt to murder, it is consoling to read what happened in the French courts to the American born Countess de Janze. who shot and nearly killed her lover, Raymond De Trafford, scion of a prominent British family. Did the three French judges who heard the case treat her severely? Oh, no! They seemed to sympathize with her, but criticised the man who was shot, although he had just manifestly lied to get her release on an easy suspended sentence. If the thing had happened in our courts, a lot of people would Pave lpafln an 1- r *

the amount the engineers thought necessary for flood control and was responsible for the attempt to shoulder some of the expense on the States. If this is true, the engineers will not admit it without being asked by Congress, because talking too much about governmental affairs has been found to be unhealthy in the Army and the Navy, If Coolidge arbitrarily reduced the amount of money thought necessary for flood control by Government engineers he has carried his so-called economy to a questionable limit. Controlling the Mississippi River is a problem that has baffled this country for a long time. Trying to solve it with a blue pencil instead of engineering skill doesn’t appear to be sound public policy. But whether it is or not, the Senate is entitled to all the facts about the Army engineers’ report and Caraway’s resolution ought to bring them out.

National Defense President Coolidge remarked the other day that he had observed there was always a great deal of talk about the condition of the Army and Navy about the time Congress began to consider the annual appropriations. Presumably this comment came as the result of a sensational statement by the secretary of war that there was not enough ammunition in the country to last a million men an hour, and that industry Was not organized to produce munitions except after long delay. The President’s attitude will be consoling to those who fear the country may be stampeded into anew naval armament race and into a program of costly military expansion. There is little reason to believe, however, that Congress or the public will be satisfied to ignore as militaristic propaganda the accumulating evidence of deterioration in the Army and the Navy. Nor is there evidence that the President wishes this. If he favors reasonable preparedness, with neither extravagance on one hand or crippling parsimony on the other, he will doubtless have the support of Congress and the public. Congress apparently is genuinely concerned over national defense, and both Senators and Representatives are demanding a thorough inquiry to determine exact conditions. Most of the criticism has centered about the Navy, which drew attention through the S-4 disaster and through the submission of an SBOO,000,000 five-year building program. It is charged that economy and lack of foresight have reduced the Navy personnel beyond the point of safety, that it,has been impossible properly to train men, that needed repairs' to vessels have been neglected,, that there is a deficiency in ships, and that supplies of munitions are inadequate. It is also pointed out that in the past four years the Navy has had seventeen serious accidents, which cost eighty-six lives and $20,000,000. Secretary Wilbur is blamed for not having assumed a vigorous leadership to correct these conditions, instead of submitting quietly to economies which brought them about. Similar charges are made in reference to the Army and its state of preparedness, although it can not be said that Secretary Davis has failed to point out the deficiencies. The time for stock-taking seems at hand. If the two establishments have been permitted steadily to decline during the nine years since the World War ended, the country should know it, and action should be taken to make the war machinery really effective. America wants and expects no wars. Its greatest assurance of peace is in the cultivation of friendly relations with the other nations and in making its peaceful intentions plain to the world. A program of sane preparedness, adequate to the country’s needs, can properly go hand in hand with the effort to reduce armaments and abolish war. • • * Harry Thaw has gone to Hollywood.

Thereupon, in true American fashion, she drew a revolver and shot him. His life was despaired of. but he got well enough to attend the trial in Paris, when he chivalrously, with the assistance of promptings from his attorney, took tfie blame upon himself, explaining that she drew a revolver to kill herself, but he struggled with her and was accidentally shot. On hearing this testimony, the three judges looked incredulous, but announced a suspended sentence. As De Trafford sc tart ed to leave the courtroom, the French prosecutor screamed after him, “You are to blame. You left her because you were afraid of getting cut off!” This was followed by ft shout from one of the judges, who said to De Trafford, “You should have consulted your Catholic family and found out if they objected to marrying a divorcee before you broke up with Countess de Janze!” Well, it does a patriotic American good to read that legal travesties ? re not confined frjgffgg

To the Editor: Secretary of Labor James J. Davis in his annual report for 1927, clearly points out the truth involved in low wages, which is something of vital importance to thousands of wage earners in Indianapolis. One of his most important topics is the ‘‘Low-Wage Paying Employer.” He pays low wages, absolutely insufficient, especially for girls and men with families. His goods appear on the country’s great markets in direct competition with the product turned out by typical American manufacturers, who pay real wages, one of the foundations of morality, happiness and prosperity in any community. The w r age earner is not the only one affected by ’ow wages; the stores lose business which they would obtain from better paid employes. The clothing stores in Indianapolis would annually sell $500,000 more of their goods to factory workers alone, if wages here were up to the average of seventy-four leading cities of the United States. Other mercantile interests would benefit, strange as it may seem, real estate, insurance, etc., would receive a proportionate share of the increased pay rolls. Better wages will make for better business. Prom the annual report for 1927 of the United States Department of Labor is quoted the following statements by the Hon. James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor: "It is sometimes argued that wages must be reduced if we are to increase the sale of our goods in foreign markets. The answer is that by such wage reductions we reduce our profitable home market far more than we increase the less certain profits of the foreign market. Experience has proved, even to the most casual observer, the fallacy of much of the bad economic thinking of the past. “The low-wage fallacy is the worst of all. A dullard must see the folly of killing the purchasing power of tne greatest buyer, the worker, In the market at home \vnich provides us with all but a fraction ..?T Ur notional wealth and prosperity. No matter on what plea or excuse, reduction of wages is bad business and worse economics, whether applied in the broadest social sense or to a given industry. No matter how large the population, we know that no low-wage country is prosperous, and we also have it proved In figures and facts that no low-wage Industry in the United States is prosperous today. No low-w'age section of the country today is as prosperous as art the sections where high wages prevail. The employer, thereI° r e, who reduces wages, whether from a selfish motive or because he thinks it good business, is not a good business man and. Is hurting himself. He mav for a time succeed in paying a wage below the cost of living, but he is only throwing on the community at large the expense of paying, in the form of unpaid grocery and clothing bills, the wages which he himself should pay. To be very frank, he is stealing from the public. This applies to any industry as a whole, as it does to any individual employer. The time has passed when any industry or any employer who seeks to break down wage scales will be looked upon as shrewd or clever in business. Such employer is not clever in business but a parasite on the community, and public opinion will eventually force him to pay a decent wage or get out of business. "This is not a random statement. Unfortunately, employers of this description still exist, not only singly but sometimes in groups. I can cite the Instance of a certain American city where an enlightened employer who comes to establish a new industry and is prepared to pay the wage rates current in that industry throughout the United States, will be informed that the local rates are thus and so, and that he is injuring business if he pays more. If the new employer ignores the warning a committee will visit him and make personal appeal. If he still ignores t.'ia suggestion, he will be outside the 7%nk9, playing a lone hand. No one there appears to have seen the restriction to the entire life of the place in this restriction of wages. Quotation from the Young Women’s Christian Association, a conservative organization: "The low wage is a danger and a menace to the community: The industry lor business) that cannot pay a living wage is a parasite and is (actuallyi subsidized by public and private charity—a living wage should provide health-giving food, good clothing, adequate housing, education, and recreation, with sufficient margin for j dentistry and medical upkeep, and to tide over periods of sickness or unemployment. THOMAS K. LEWIS. To the Editor: In your editorial columns of Dec. 28, you attacked "The Reader’s Digest” under the heading of "Pre-Digested Literature.” To me, a constant reader of The Times and also the little magazine, victim of your editorial shafts, the attack was both illogicial and unfair. You did explain that the Digest attempts to boil down the best things each month in the outstanding magazines. Then you say it would be better to read one magazine all the way through. No doubt it would be better to investigate all the stories that appear in newspapers also and especially to refuse to form opinions from the pre-digested stuff on the editorial page. Obviously that is impossible. Readers of the Digest probably do read in to more of the magazines from which the articles are taken than those who are not readers. Yet the little magazine brings to them things that they may have over- j looked. Surely you would not advise not j reading Durant or the Well’s out- i lines on the grounds that they are predigested stuff. Who knows how many have been led by these outlines to reading the original sources? Similarly many may be led by the Digest to read the magazines. The purpose of the little magazine j is set forth on the fly leaf as fol- 1 lows: ‘‘An article a day from the | leading magazines—each article of j enduring value and interest, in con- ! densed, permanent booklet form.” Surely such a statement, lived up i to, makes the magazine worth while.

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION Greeks Lost Step in Progress March

THE DECLINE OF ATHENS TTS7HY does a civilization come to an end? Is it because of some immovable limit of physiological vitality in the race, as certain as senility? Or is it primarily because of external changes, economic and political—the exhaustion of the soil, or the rise of bitter factions, or the chaos and destructiveness of war? Is there anything in the decline of Athens which can shed light upon the mortality of nations? Even the long Peloponnesian War, and its disastrous end, might have left vitality in Athens if the bases of her economic life had remained intact and sound. But her arid and rocky soil had never quite supported her; more and more she depended upon imported food. The growth of the cities had drained the more capable men from the country side; the accumulation of wealth had enabled manufacturers and merchants to buy large tracts of land and man them with slaves incapable of that spirit and enterprise which come of ownership. Agriculture has never prospered under absentee landlords; the careless husbandry of listless and exploited slaves has ruined many a soil, and let many a civilization go to seed. As the peasant proprietors disappeared from the fields, the ancient source of a virile soldiery ran dry; armies had to be filled not with men who were fighting for their lands and homes, but with “mercenaries,” who fought for pay and passed from one side to another along the line of greatest gold. It became customary for bands of Greek professional soldiers, like Xenophon’s “Ten Thousands,” to hire themselves out to any government, e/en to kings at war with Greece. Meanwhile wealth had come, and with it new problems, new manners, and new morals. The gap between rich and poor opened wider each liesw, and generated a thousand bitter disputes; great strikes disrupted the economic life of the State. Brokers and bankers appeared, with whom people invested the savings which formerly they had kept idle and intact in the temples;

Aristotle pleaded for abortion as a kindlier substitute for the perpetual slaughter of superfluous children by exposure on the mountain tops. Poverty, made conscious by the side of glaring luxury, brought on a socialist movement; Antisthenes denounced the state, Diogenes preached a return to the friendly and flowing savage, and Plato himself, rich aristocrat though, he was, was remarkably like a “parlor socialist,” except that he was a genius of brilliant speculation, and a supreme artist in literary form. ‘‘Love of wealth,” says Plato, “wholly absorbs the Athenians; in this the soul of every citizen hangs suspended, and can attend to nothing but his daily gain.” He saw disintegration advancing through individualism in the citizen and a corresponding quarrelsomeness among the component states of Greece; he pleaded for peace and alliance among these states “lest the whole Greek race should some

Why is it colder in high altitudes than in iow? Because the farther away one goes from the surface of the earth, the thinner is the air belt. The rays of the sun pass through the earth's atmosphere and heat the surface of the earth and the oceans, and this heat is held by the belt of air aroqnd the earth, which prevents it from radiating into space, exactly as the glass roof of a hothouse or cold frame permits the rays of the sun to pass through, creating heat in the earth under the glass, but does not permit the heat to radiate rapidly away. In the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere, the comparative thinness of the air permits much more rapid radiation of the earth’s heat and consequently the temperature is much lower. How did the English under Lord Howard drive back the Spaniards in the battle with the Invincible Armada? In this battle Admiral Lord Howard of Effingham was in command of the main English fleet. On Aug. 7, 1588, the Armada was driven close to the port of Gracelinos, where on the following day Vice Admiral Sir Francis Drake made a spirited onslaught upon the Spanish ships. Many of the galleons of the invaders were riddled by the English guns. After a hasty council of war, the Armada turned toward Spain. Do the words “suit” and “suite” have the same meaning and use?

But his own subtle philosophy symbolized that transition from the life of action to the life of thought which endangers every civilization just as it comes to flower. In the earlier stages of a nation’s history there is little thought, except as the passing prelude to a physical response; action flourishes, instinctive or otherwise spontaneous; men are direct, uninhibited, frankly sexual, pugnacious and domineering. But as civilization grows, as customs, institutions, laws and morals develop to bind and harass the individual, repression increases to the point of resources, action gives way to the pale cast of thought, expression to concealment, cruelty to sympathy, belief to doubt; the unity of character common to animals and primitive men passes away; behavior becomes fragmentary and hesitant, conscious and calculating; the willingness to fight becomes a disposition to infinite argument.

A declarent to American citizenship must obtain his passport from the nearest consul of his native country. Are citizens of Canada rightly called Americans? Canadians are Americans, because they are natives of the American continent but the term “American,” is popularly applied throughout the world, except in Latin America, to mean a citizen of the United States.

TRACY SAYS: “Justice Remains Too Much a Matter of Trial /)?/ Combat; Swards Have Given Way to Tongues, but the Idea of a Chunupion Still Rules.”

How can we ever hope to attain justice if victory is held up as the young lawyers all-important goal? The theory is that no matter how hard a lawyer on one side fights, the other side will see to it that he accomplishes nothing contrary to justice, and out of the combat of wits, we arc bound to arrive at the truth. The theory works only when lawyers of equal ability are matched against each other. Given a strong deiensc and a weak prosecution, the criminal is more likely to be acquitted than convicted though guilty. Under reverse conditions, he is more likely to be convicted than *xquitted though innocent. Justice is accomplished in neither case, but some lawyer mokes a reputation. ft tt tt Justice —Trial by Combi Justice remains too much a m ter of trial by combat. Swords h given way to tongues, but the i of a champion still rules. Court trials are little more tl debates, with professional sue* as the all-important prize.
