The Bossert Episode Just why the organization politicians who have controlled Indiana for the last few years lament the public appearance of "Walter Bossert in behalf of Harry Leslie and Arthur Robinson can be easily understood, but their objection is wholly indefensible. They dislike that voters of their party see the physical evidence of what most of them must suspect, which is that the candidacies of Leslie and Robinson come from the same old sources and influences which gave the State Stephensonism and Jacksonism, They are fearful that the public parade of Bossert may remind of too many unpleasant episodes and make it difficult to convince the sincere Republican that his choice of Herbert Hoover for President carries with it any obligation or even inclination to vote for these two State candidates. The real friends of Mr. Hoover will not object to Bossert campaigning for Leslie. It is becoming more and more apparent that the most humiliating aspect of the Hoover campaign in Indiana is the support, nominal or real, which he is receiving from some very new “friends.” The sentiment in favor of Mr. Hoover comes from entirely different sources and different causes than those which nominated Robinson and Leslie. The people of this State, as shown in the primary vote, have a very high regard for his integrity, his ability, his career of public service. The women of the State, especially, remember his services during and after the war and base their high regard upon his contributions to the suffering of other nations when his country intrusted him with the distribution of its proffers of aid and relief. It is humiliating to his friends, and must be to Mr. Hoover, to contemplate the possibility that his own popularity may be used as a cloak for men and influences for which .apology would be necessary if successful. The real support of Mr. Hoover comes from the unorganized but sincere electorate who have followed his career, not from the schemes of a Goodrich, the candidacy of a Leslie, the oratory of a Robinson. There is not one, but two issues in Indiana which should be separated in the minds of the voters. * One is national, to be settled on national issues~as between parties and personal ties. The other is State-wide and reaches the high level of a patriotic crusade to restore the government to the people, to clean house most completely, to bring back the good name of the State. Every impulse of good citizenship which may lead any citizen to decide that Hoover may make the better President should operate in favor of Frank Dailey. Putting Bossert into the limelight is but a frank admission that the forces which Stephenson led and which Bossert perpetuated as his successor are again yawping for power in State affairs. Herbert Hoover is too great and too big to be used as a red herring across the trail now followed by an indignant citizenship determined to end the orgy of hate. Bossert serves a useful purpose. No one, unless he is eager to be misled, can now be fooled as to the real situation. Where Is the End? More taxes will be collected this year by Federal, State and local governments than when war-time taxes were at their highest levels. This rather startling statement was made by Max Graves, tax commissioner of New York, before the Institute of Politics at the University of Virginia. Collections for all purposes will approximate $9,000,000,000 this year, nearly $700,000,000 more than the maximum during the war, Graves estimated. Appropriations by Congress this year exceeded those during the first year of the Coolidge administration by $500,000,000, he said. State expenditures have increased largely because of road building and greater outlays for education, Graves said. He predicted that both State and Federal expenditures would continue to increase. The taxpayer-voter can control this situation, of course. He wants good schools, good roads, and an efficient Federal Government, but there is a saturation point for taxes, like everything else. In the face of steadily mounting taxes, now more than ever before are wise economies and judicious expenditures necessary. Tourists and Skulls Some of the things that people do are rather discouraging to one who likes to beileve the best about human nature. At the great battlefield of Verdun, the authorities are having a great deal of trouble with tourists. The tourists poke about the battlefield looking for bones. They prod into, the ground, dig up skulls, flourish them with glee and cart them off—to do Heaven knows what with them. It would take a peculiar sort of person to take any pride in a souvenir of that kind. One Argentine tourist company, it seems, even furnishes spades to the parties it sends to Verdun. A thing like that is, we repeat, rather discouraging, The hundreds of thousands of heroic French and German soldiers who died at Verdun would have felt inspired, surely, if in their last hours they could have foreseen what would happen only twelve years later.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success It’s a funny old world we live in; a funny old world and a fickle one. It likes one thing in fiction and something very different in life. A perfect hero in fiction would be a young man who threw everything aside when the great war came and rushed off to serve his country. He’d be a fine, strong, young man, an athlete, a skillful boxer and he’d find himself participating in the boxing tournaments arranged for the amusement of the troops. Presently he’d emerge as the champion boxer of the American Expeditionary Forces. And then he’d come home and having a living to make and the benefits of only a meager education, his parents being poor, he’d use the talents discovered in the Army. In due time he’d be matched against the champion of the world, the champion of champions. And this would be a terrible fighter who hadn’t fought the country’s enemy, a man who had stayed at home while the war went on. Wouldn’t the populace cheer when the brave young war veteran brought the world champion to his knees? Yes, the populace would—in fiction. In real life he had to do it twice before the populace would believe it had happened. In fiction our hero would be a chap who longed to make something better of himself, who did not wish to spend his life in a profession generally considered not quite the best. He’d be a young man who liked books, good books, even Shakespeare. He’d try to master the English language, to understand it and speak it. And when he had succeeded the people would grant him ungrudging admiration. In fiction, but not in real life. In fiction the story would end when the girl of his dreams, the beautiful, rich and gracious girl, promised to be his. As she rested her fair head on his manly bosom, the author would draw the curtain, saying, "and there, dear reader, let us leave them.’’ But in real life? Omigosh, no! Let’s bust right in on them and ask them all about it. Who’d they think they are, anyway? Say, who made this guy, who paid him all that money he made fightin’? Does he think he can get away with that stuff? Let’s show him, the big stiff! High-hattin’ us! Huh! Poor Gene. Probably one of the nicest fellows in the world. We don’t know and we don’t give a good goldarn. It’s none of our business if he wants to bea cultured gentleman, or if he doesn't. It was none of our business when Tom Sharkey achieved his ambition to own a saloon. None of our business when Jack Dempsey married into the younger Hollywood set. And it’s none of our business if Gene is ambitious to read his name in the social register. We may think it's an unworthy ambition, but we never thought much of the saloon busines, either. And the tales they tell of life in Hollywood! But—none of our business, any of these things. Gene Tunney. He doesn’t seem to have that something that makes a man popular with crowds. Maybe that’s his misfortune, and not his fault. Anyhow we don’t have to hate him for it. Or, do we? If we're wrong, please correct us. A Great Economic Shift The shift in American economic and industrial status during the last half century is strikingly illustrated in the Commerce Department’s report on United States imports and exports for the month of June. In the old days America was a great exporter of raw materials. Grain, cotton and lumber went to Europe in vast quantities, and shipload after shipload of manufactured articles came back in return. But now the situation is reversed. The country exported $380,281,000 worth of goods in June. Crude materials and foodstuffs accounted for only 25 per cent of this huge total. Manufacturers accounted for over 46 per cent, with manufactured foodstuffs and semi-manufacturers accounting for another 28 per cent. And crude materials and foodstuffs accounted for 50 per cent of our $315,118,000 of imports for the month. Quite a change from the day the country had nothing to sell but raw materials. —■ David Dietz on Science .. Specialists in Egypt no. m PRACTICAL medicine made its start in Egypt, where the world’s first civilization appeared. But it was intertwined with the practice of magic. Imhotep, the first physician on record in Egyptian history, later became deified and was worshiped as the god of medicine. Maspero, in his “Life in Ancient Egypt and Assyria, writes: “At first, the priest and physician were identified,

THE ewS,T T PHYSICIAH t

“It is a god, a spirit, or the soul of a dead man that has cunningly entered a living person, or that throws itself upon him with irresistible violence. Once in possession of the body, the evil influence breaks the bones, sucks out the marrow, drinks the blood, gnaws the intestines and the heart and devours the flesh.” The treatment necessitated by this state of affairs was a double one, according to Maspero. First of all, the physician had to cast out the evil influence which was causing the disease. This necessitated the use of magical practices. Next, he had to heal the ravages caused in the person’s body by the evil influence. This called for the use of medical measures. Asa result, fairly good medical practice, considering how young civilization yet was, grew up among the Egyptians. The Egyptian physicians employed purgatives and emetics. They had a long list of remedies prepared from plants. In the later part of their history they even developed what we regard as the particular distinguishing mark of modern medical practice, the specialist. Herodotus, the historian, records the fact that the land of Egypt, became “full of physicians’,’ and he says of them, “One treats only the diseases of the eye, another those of the head, the teeth, the abdomen or the internal organs.”

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Business Has Become the Driving Force of Modern \ Life. It Is Only Natural That Business Men Should Be Taking a Greater Interest in Government Than Ever Before

MONOPOLY grows fashionable. Not only private business, but public utilities are consolidating. One wonders what has become of the Sherman law and the anti-trust crusades. Twenty-five years ago we were boosting competition as “the life of trade.” Not only that, bu± we were trying to force it through regulation. Regulated competition, of course, was illogical, but we could not see if. When you put a Government board, bureau or commission over a group of enterprises, you automatically recognize them as an entity. Nothing has done more to bring about merger, combine and monopoly than Government regulation. If a public service commission is capable of handling ths power, gas and street car companies of a city, why isn’t a single board of directors? Private business has borrowed more than one idea from the boards and bureaus which have been established to hold it down. 0 u u Sign of the Times Merger of the Brooklyn Edison Company and Consolidated Gas Company, just sanctioned by the public service commission of New York, is a case in point. Whatever it may mean from the standpoint of local politics, it means more as a sign of the times. Apparently we have grown vastly less afraid of monoply than we I used to be. By the same token, business has grown vastly less afraid i of regulation. Public ownership of stock goes far toward explaining this change. Twenty years ago the average man had no chance to get anything out of a public utility, except through reduction of his bill. Now he gets a dividend, and that makes him less interested in bringing the rate down. 00a Business Enters Politics Having learned something from politics, business men apparently are : waking up to the idea that it- is not such a despised calling after all. ! At all, events quite a few of them are drifting into it, and politics looks none the worse because of their presence. Governor Smith's campaign manager made his money and reputation as chairman of the financial committee of the General Motors Corporation. Pierre S. Du Pont just has taken a leave of absence from I General Motors in order to ride the ! same band wagon. Louis K. Liggett, head of the | great drug store chain, has become , national committeeman from Mass- ; achusetts, Gen. W. W. Atterbury, : head of the Pennsylvania Railroad has accepted a similar post in Pennsylvania, and Bertha D. Bauer, head of the Liquid Carbonic Cos., has be- , come national Republican committeewoman from Illinois. The careers of Andrew W. Mellon ; and Dwight W. Morrow are too well i known for comment, and probably j have done much to influence other ! business men to see the desirability, if not the advantage in public work! History ls*Just Up to a certain point, money means success, but after that point has been reached it means little. There is still more honor In being a Senator or a Governor than there is in $1,000,000. People always have and always will respect those men who are identified with government and who do their work well. History is not unjust' in passing over the mere rich as of no great consequence. No doubt Athens had leading bankers in the time of Socrates, and Rome multi-millionaires in the time of Cicero, but the world does not know who they were, and does not care. Government still remains the most important human enterprise, and politics is the medium through which it functions in a republic. More than that, government is a reflection of the dominating impulses, emotions and activities of a people, and its success depends on how faithfully it reacts to them. Business has become the driving force of modern life. It is only natural that business men should be taking a greater interest in government than ever before. ,00 Lenin Was Wrong Fear of money has played quite as big a part in the development of our social and political system as has the love of it.. To a measurable extent, we have distrusted rich men, the story of Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom became a part of our philosophy when a hell fire gospel reigned supreme. Looking at us from across the Atlantic, Lenin declared that we had proved capital and democracy irreconcilable. Though exalting private business, he said, the American people refuse to put the millionaires it makes in office. There was no chance of a Rockefeller or a Ford, he asserted, to become President of the United States. Lenin spoke before our experiment had been finished—thousands of years before. He spoke without realizing how democracy had changed the love of money into love of things that money will do. Whatever else may be said of them, American business men are no longer misers. They may be greedy and ruthless at times, but they no longer hoard. That in itself is a triumph for democratic principles. We have reached a point where rich men give as much thought to the wise use of money as to making it, which explains why they are turning to politics, and why they are receiving a heartier welcome than they could have hoped for two generations ago.

and medicine never became fully dissociated from religion. “The Egyptian s believed that disease and death were not natural and inevitable, but caused by some malign influence which could use any agency, natural or invisible, and very often belonged to the invisible world.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hvgeia, the Health Magazine. THE word with which dieticians and food experts conjure in these modern days is the vitamin. Already mothers are familiar at least with the importance of vitamin C, the scurvy-preventing vitamin that occurs in orange juice and other fruit juices. Hardly a baby today but what has the great advantage of this vitamin in aiding its proper growth. Another vitamin, more familiar to mothers, is vitamin D, the ricketspreventing vitamin that is found in cod liver oil. Then there is vitamin A, associated with some eye diseases and with general nutrition, found in butter, milk and cod liver oil; and vitamin B, associated with some nefvous disorders and with proper resistance to disease and with proper growth, found in whole wheat, in yeast and in other substances. Both physciians and dieticians are constantly searching for foods conBridge Play Made Easy BY W. YY. WENTWORTH (Abbreviations: A—ace; K—king: Q—queen; J—Jack: X—any card lower than 10.) WHEN the declarer has obtained the contract after a bid made by your partner, the first card led by you should be as a rule be from the suit named b yyour partner. The question which now arises is which card to lead from the suit that your partner has bid. There is no universally recognized convention covering the opening lead, for even experts disagree on the subject. You will, however, be sure to avoid all arguments and correctly inform your partner by leading, at trump play, the highest card you hold in the suit which he has bid. Some advanced players lead in this manner only when holding three cards or less in the suit declared by partner. They recommend that you lead the fourth card from the top if you hold more than three cards in partner’s suit. There is a difference of opinion on this convention which is neither strictly observed nor approved by all experts. For general purposes and on the average you will find that leading the highest card will cause the least confusion and acrimony. Before opening your partner's suit, however, you shoul dexamine your hand to see whether you have some other advantageous information. which you may desire to convey before leading partner’s suit.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY TTNIVERSITY, VA., Aug. 11.—An audience of 1,000 educators and students, most of them from the South, enthusiastically applauded the wet speaker in the prohibition debate at the University of Virginia summer Institute on Public Affairs. Representative Louis C. Cram ton, Michigan, Republican dry leader in Congress, received less applause for his defense Os prohibition. Election of Smith as President “would be a disastrous blow to prohibition enforcement and would promote nullification,” Cramton said. Hoover has declared that "prohibition has proved itself as a business proposition,” he added. In reply, John Philip Hill, Maryland wet leader and former Congressman, urged repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and meanwhile modification of the Volstead Act on grounds of State rights and the failure of enforcement. Cramton said in part: “Prohibition is a noble experiment, the success of which means much to the whole world. Less than j one-fourth of the House of Representatives support the wet position. We cannot abolish the laws to accommodate the law'orakears. Babson estimates that only one- : tenth as much money now is being ! spent for liquor as before prohibition. Enforcement is progressively successful. “In the national political campaign now in progress, the National Association against the Prohibition Amendment assumes new importance through the declaration of the candidate and the national committee of one of the parties. “It is idle to say that the President cannot affect the situation. When a candidate makes modification an outstanding campaign ; issue his election is bound to be ac- | cepted as expression of sentiment of the Nation in that direction. “Passage of a law for sale of liquor would be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court; such a law would not legalize such sale, but would be a blow to enforcement practically constituting nullification of the amendment,” 000 COLONEL HILL in urging repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and modification of the Volstead act meanwhile, stressed the familiar arguments of State rights and failure of prohibition enforce- ] ment. “Neither of the two great political ; parties in their platforms indorse ! the Eighteenth amendment, nor does ! either party declare against its j modification or repeal,” he said, j The Eighteenth amendment is the ! first and only amendment of the | Constitution which attempts a regu- ! lation by the Federal Government of the personal habits and actions of the citizens of the individual States. “Whenever any suggestion is made of modification or repeal, the Anti- ! Saloon League talks of nullification, ! but it acquiesces in the nonenforce- ! ment of many other constitutional | amendments. The prohibition laws ; violate the Fourth amendment j against unreasonable searches and i seizures. The Fifth amendment against jeopardy and the Sixth amendment guaranteeing speedy ; jury trial are violated directly or indirectly by the dry laws.” After asking why the drys do not object on nullification grounds to nonenforcement of the Fourteenth amendment franchising Negroes, Hill said, "beverages containing onehalf of one per cent of alcohol are not in fact intoxicating and are therefore not prohibited by the Eighteenth amendment, why, then, is not the Volstead Act an immoral law, seeking to enforce a lie?” He quoted Volstead, former Federal Prohibition Commissioner Haynes an dthe Maryland superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League that one half of one per cent is not intoxicating. 000 records of arrests for JL drunkenness in thirty-six of the largest cities or States shows an enormous increase in what always have been prohibition centers of the country. In 1920, the total number of prohibition cases in the Federal courts were 7,291, while in 1926 they had risen to 78,512.” Here is Hills’ substitute for the Volstead Act: “Sec. 1. Each State shall for itself define the meaning of words intoxicating liquors as used (in the Eighteenth Amendment), and each State itself shall enforce within its own limits its own laws on this subject. “Sec. 2. Any person who transports or causes to be transported into any State any beverage prohibited by such State as being an intoxicating liquor shall be punished by the United tSates by imprisonment for not more than ten years or by a fine of not less than SIO,OOO nor more than SIOO,OOO, or by both such fine and imprisonment.” 0 0 0 IN another debate, on whether suffrage has improved the status of women. Mrs. Sarah Lee Fain, member of the Virginia Legislature from Norfolk, said women “should not use the unnameable thing” to help them in their public activities. A reportorial canvas of the audience showed this was preted to mean “sex appeal.” The only two men speakers, the Rev. W. Kinsolving. Louisville, and Judge Oscar Leaser, Maryland tax commissioner, questioned the benefits of suffrage. But the women speakers were all enthusiastic about it. They insisted, though, that suffrage was only a first step toward overcoming professional and legal discriminations remaining. National Women’s Party representatives urged passage of their proposed equal rights amendment to the Constitution as the only effective method of removing such discriminations.
