The Biggest Merger The petition of the Insull and allied interests to put under one great company the street railway and electric interests serving 280 communities of the State deserves something more than a casual glance by officials before it is granted. It is carefully explained that the merger does not mean anything to the public and that it is merely a system of financing, under which owners of stocks and other forms of securities will trade them for other stocks and securities, accepting reductions in the face value and squeezing out some of the water which promoters of other years poured into the component corporations. The real purpose, of course, is to make money. And there are only two ways of making money. One is by taking it from the customer. The other is by saving in the cost of production. No one has yet devised any scheme of honestly creating wealth through any trick of issuing stock certificates. A lot of men have made money by creating new corporations and mergers, but in the end the value of the stocks depends on how much the public can be made to pay. The utilities which are included in the proposed merger differ in character of service and location. Some of them make money. Others have not earned dividends. Each one of .these 280 communities affected is interested in knowing if the merger proposes to tax them for the benefit of others. Some of these smaller corporations, especially the electric companies, earn large dividends. The communities they serve could, under the theory of regulation, expect reductions of rates when the earnings go beyond a certain figure. It is reasonable to suppose that no such reductions will occur under a merger until every antiquated interurban and street car line is also on a paying basis, not from its customers, but froin the diversions of profits from other communities. Merging of competing utilities in the same community is theoretically connect and desirable. It should result in reduced cost of operation and the elimination of waste. But this merger presents a different picture. It is not a proposal to cut out competition between utilities of the same kind. It proposes to tie together two kinds of utilities, rendering different kinds of service, operating in many communities, into one great concern that will, presumably, demand profits on the entire capitalization with regard to the cost of service in any particular community. Not only the leasonableness of valuations and stock issues but the principle involved demands careful consideration before this new financial scheme is given legal standing. Secret Understandings “Open covenants, openly arrived at,” phrases an ideal in diplomacy toward which the nations move only stumblingly. understandings were disclosed as among the real causes of the world war. The Russian revolution having brought these secret treaties out of the czarist archives, it became impossible to ignore the part they had played in bringing Europe to the brink of destruction. Yet the effect of the secret treaties did not end with the war. They went a long way toward making a tragedy of the peace that followed. At every point Woodrow Wilson found himself balked by these treaties. He was obliged at the very outset to surrender his program of open covenants and consent to meetings Lehind closed doors. All this has a bearing on the present stir over the alleged understanding between Prime Ministers Chamberlain and Briand concerning British and French naval armaments. There may be nothing in the alleged agreement—if one has been made—that is not altogether commendable. It may help to keep down trouble between the two nations. But it has the vice of secrecy. Our Government is Interested in naval armaments, decidedly so. It has sought to reach an understanding with Britain. At the same time it has been conducting negotiations with most of the world looking toward the outlawry of all war. In the midst of all this came the report of a private agreement between England and France; to be made public presently, Chamberlain is said to have promised, but privately-arrived-at in any case. It is much like one gentleman in a poker game passing a card under the table. It isn’t done. Or, it shouldn’t be done. If Secretary Kellogg adheres to his intention to detour around London on his way to Ireland, his action will be perfectly understandable. Open covenants, openly arrived at, was a splendid principle when Wilson enunciated it. It is a splendid principle now. Indeed, there is not a great deal of assurance that any peace program will succeed until tnere is actual outlawry ot secret treaties. A New York newspaper prints the headline, “Divorce Suit Shakes Gilda Gray’s Past.” Gilda has a shaky past, at that. Next year’s beach costumes will be “almost backless,” according to a style note. Anyone who saw any of this year’s beach suits will wonder if the word meant for next year’s wasn't “almoster.” A lot of people who don’t know how many stars there are in the flag can tell you exactly how many there are in the movies. ' Just because you’re a prune you don’t have to fall for a lot of applesauce.

Testing Out the Courts Are the courts all one-way streets? That’s what the American Civil Liberties Union has set out to discover. A citizen is supposed to violate peace and order by standing around where he is not wanted—picketing they sometimes call it>—and he is arrested. In court he is found to have been beaten up by the officers. So he is sentenced to jail for a long term and fined a big sum and put under bonds for a thousand dollars, etc., etc. That’s all an old story. But suppose a citizen who has not violated any law, and is acting within his rights under the Constitution, is grabbed by a man in uniform called a policeman and is hauled and mauled and locked up and given a bum trial and an unreasonable sentence, what then? Has he no rights? No remedy? It is the theory of our law that nobody—not even a policeman—may do injury or injustice to an innocent person without involving legal consequences. A policeman must act within the law or he is a violator of the law. 4s a violator of the law he is committing assault and Is liable for damages. His employer or bondsman is liable for damages. All that is necessary Is to bring a suit for false arrest, assault, etc., etc. “An’ so’s your old man,” is the popular answer to all that. “Go try it.” Which is an intimation that the courts are jus** for the rich and the strong; that they are one-way streets. The Liberties Union proposes to try out such questions as how many strikers can picket at the same time; whether talking, or singing is a breach of the peace; ahd whether meetings on private property can be forbidden and raided by the police, If the courts are to be used exclusively by employers to defeat strikes regardless of personal liberty, the sooner it is openly admitted the better. One Unspoiled Spot There is to be, in this country, one unspoiled spot. Part of Mount Rainier National Park, now a wilderness, will be kept forever a wilderness. No roads will be built. No hotels will be permitted. Access will be only for those willing to walk or ride horseback; only for those who long for silences and untouched beauty and will not violate them. When man’s soul is sick from the futlities, and frustrations of life, the clash and compromise and turmoil, how shall he live if there are not places like these where he may learn strength and serenity? One wilderness for this great Nation is not enough. There are millions of people here who will never be able to go to Mount Rainier. If there be places in the Eastern mountains and those of the South not yet invaded by commerce and tne crudities of civilization let the national park department reserve these also and keep them as they are—havens where hurts of life may be healed. It cculd do no greater service. The Movie Producer’s Problem Pity the poor moving picture producer in these crying days. He is a man who must make weighty decisions. The new talking movie is at the bottom of his trouble. Shall he go in for it? It will mean ditching most of his present star actors and actresses and finding new ones who have brains and can really act. It will mean constructing elaborate new studios. It will mean devising an entire nev technique of production. It will mean knotty problems in connection with the foreign market; for French and German and Argentinian audience won’t care for pictures that talk in English. The movie producer must guess right on all of these questions, for his existence hangs in the balance. It looks as if the days of easy money in the movies were about over. The United States needs twice as many parks as we have, says a landscape artist. But where’ll we find enough waste paper to fill ’em?

- David Dietz on Science ——— Galen Ruled Medicine No. 140

GREAT men, it seems, do damage as well as good. They make great discoveries and by so doing advance the world. But they sometimes make mistakes. And because no one dares question the authority which their greatness brings, their mistakes endure longer than would the mistakes of smaller men. Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher, did much to advance the world's knowledge. But during the Middle Ages he became the great authority. No one dared

Greek physician who died in 200 A. D. He dominated medical thought for fifteen centuries just as firmly as Aristotle dominated other fields of knowledge. Galen was a great man in his day. But his knowledge was limited and many of his ideas were erroneous. But all his ideas, the wrong ones as well as the right ones, held sway for fifteen centuries. Galen corrected the erroneous idea which had been held by the physicians of the ‘Alexandrian school concerning the arteries. They believed that the arteries contained air. He demonstrated that the arteries contained blood. He also noted differences in the blood in the arteries and the veins. But he made the mistake of imagining that there were two separate systems in the body and that the arteries formed one and the veins the other. It is surprising that he missed the fact of the circulation of the blood, for he made a careful study of the heart. He recognized the existence of the valves in the heart. But for some reason he failed to recognize th heart as a pump. Galen believed that the network of arteries centered about the heart, but that the network of veins had its origin in the liver. Galen apparently believed that there was a sort of pulsation going on in the arteries and veins, a sort of ebb and flow. He failed to recognize that there was a real circulation of the blood.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “The Treaty Renouncing War Has Been Signed. To My Mind This Is One of the Greatest Events Since the Birth of Christy

THE treaty renouncing war has been signed. To my mind this is one of the greatest events since the birth of Christ. Cynics say that we should wait and see how it turns out. That is ’exactly what cynics said in Jerusalem 1900 years ago. When a big new idea is born you do not have to wait for its maturity to understand that it is big and new. Suppose this treaty will be broken, what does that prove? Suppose, though it repudiates war, it will have to be sustained by war, wherein is its .promise of good belied? One can admit that it is easier to make an agreement than to keep it, and still find reason to rejoice. No matter what happens, the nations have gone on record as willing to try something different, something that they lacked the heartihood to try before. That in itself is a triumph. a a a K Desire for Peace In one respect international peace is traveling a beaten path. Having reached the form of world wide desire, it is now made articulate through the Kellogg Treaty. The problem of translating it into action, of developing it as a basic conviction, remains to be solved. There are millions of people who regard this as impossible, even though they would like to see it come to pass. These millions are ! victims of tradition. Their sceptic- j ism is rooted in the thought that nothing of the kind was ever done j before. They doubt the workability of j this agreement for exactly the same ; reason that farm hands doubted I the workability of Fulton's steam- j boat, that most people doubted the ! workability of flying machines until ; the Wrights convinced them they j were wrong. a a a Selfish for Opinions Watertight minds can always find reason for disbelief in any innovation, especially if they are moved by selfish interests. Selfish interests do not necessarily depend on the dollar and cent viewpoint. Men have been selfish for the sake of family pride, religion and custom. They have been selfish, indeed, for the sake of their own opinions. There are people who would like to see this treaty fail because they have committed themselves to the proposition that war is inevitable and do not want to be proved false prophets in the eyes of their fellowmen. Others would like to see it fail for purely business reasons. Still others would like to see it fail, because they have been taught the profession of arms and look upon its pursuit now as legitimate, but glorious, as for the great majority of people, they merely hope. a an Holds Empire's Fate Say what you will, but Aug. 27, 1928, finds the civilized world embarking on the greatest experiment it ever undertook, an experiment, which represents an intellectual revolution and which may well include the fate of empires before it is completed. The deal which is embodied in the Kellogg treaty clashes with many things we have been taught to regard as sacred. The man is a fool who cannot foresee the day when those things will crystalize into an excuse for breaking it and when its defense will call for force. Because it represents a fundamentally different policy than nations have ’ pursued hitherto, because it is bound to conflict with national aspirations at some time in the future, because imperialistic -statesmen will find it standing in their way and because its first affect will be to balk the | method of growth by conquest] which has played such r part in the modern world, this treaty wall be fought for if it lives. a a a War to End War Though we made a bad guess when we said we entered the last war to end war, the idea was right. Paradoxical as it may seem, we poor mortals never have been able to repress any form of violence except through violence. Just as we have found this particularly true with respect to murderers and thieves, so we shall And it true with respect to those leaders who would wage war against the will of the world. The very act of repudiating war means war, though for a higher object. Hitherto, people have fought for national peace. From now on they can fight for international peace. The game has been changed from one of high class banditry to one of protection through police power. ana Higher Peace Step No one can review the circumstances and events by which the civilized world was led up to this treaty, the Hague Tribunal, the 1 World War. the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Locarno Pact and the disarmament conferences, without realizing that we are being driven relentlessly toward some kind of an agreement among the nations by which they can mobilize and crush any member of the family that attempts to break the peace. The sixty-two governments and autonomous states which form the family of nations are in exactly the same position as tribal chiefs who meet to renounce hostilities and arrange a truce for the sake of general peace, and just as those i tribal _ chiefs would be heading | toward the formation of a state, j they are headed toward the develop--1 ment of some common power through which a world-wide reign of law and order can be enforced.

question the word of Aristotle. The result was that the world failed to advance beyond Aristotle as rapidly as it should have. The mistakes which Aristotle had made were perpetuated for centuries. The same thing happened in medicine in the case of Galen. the great

THE TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. AS scientific medicine begins to give attention to the diseases associated with industry strange sources of infection and of other disturbances come to light. A recent report by the New York State department of labor has to do with wiping rags as a source of infection or of other hazards. Wiping rags come from all sorts of sources, many from the refuse of dwellings. Some of the rags purchased by regular dealers are sold to paper mills and to manufacturers of roofing material. The cleaner rags in fairly good condition are picked out and sold as wipers; the dirtier ones in good condition are sometimes washed and sterilized before being sold as wipers. It is impossible to say just how much infection is transmitted by rags used in this way. On the other hand, it is reasonable to believe from the available knowl-

Disease Can Be Carried by Rags

With Other Editors

(Muncie Evening Press) One who has even a slight knowledge of farmer psychology finds it difficult to believe that any considerable number of American farmers, this year, will be found supporting Governor Smith, the early protege and now the proud chieftain of Tammany Hall, for the presidency of the United States. There is something so incongruous in such a combination that it immediately presents the thought of an impossibility. It would be too much like the AntiSaloon League’s electing a brewer for its president, or a women’s sewing circle naming a prize fighter as its leader. For however greatly A1 Smith may wish to obtain the farm vote and however honestly, even, he may desire to help agriculture, his whole life has been out of touch and out of sympathy with the farmer and his problems, and so

Editor Times The Times on Saturday published the following; Angola, Ind., Aug. 25.—Devedopments in one of the most sensational death mysteries in Indiana's history started Wednesday when the charred body of a man was found in the ruins of a barn burned near Fremont, are: Resignation of Charles Zimmerman, Steuben County sheriff. Attacks on newspaper men investigating the case by a deputy of Zimmerman. Identification of a revolver found in the dead man's car as the property of Zimmerman, Zimmerman quit at the request of Judge C. C. Carlin of the Steu-ben-La Grange Circuit Court. The judge announced he acted to meet public opinion and to “protect the Republican party.” He is directing a probe of the death, and also of Zimmerman’s unexplained absence from his office from Tuesday until Thursday.. It L incredible that, unless they w’ere spoken in jest, these partisan words have been uttered by a Circuit Court judge of “Indiana. The matter should be quickly determined and if he did this he ought to follow the sheriff’s resignation by his own. For a Democrat is as much entitled to “protection” against a lawbreaker as a Republican, and the Democratic party is as much entitled to "protection” against crimes which blacken the whole State as the Republican party can possibly be. A man who thinks otherwise ought not to be a judge. Political judges dishonor a State. Justice is not safe in their hands. It is true the Republican party in Indiana needs a lot of “protection” with our Governor escaping conviction for bribery by the statute of limitations, with the chairman of the Republican State committee now serving his term, and with the mayor of Indianapolis and a number of its councilmen convicted of crime. The Republican candidate for Senator is “Birds-of-a-Feather” Robinson, the darling of the Ku-Klux and the laughing stock of the body to which he seeks re-election, and James E. Watson is boss of the party in Indiana, smiling at its iniquities, lifting no finger to stay them and defaming by his detraction at Kansas City and previously, the admirable candidate for the presidency whom the party selected. It is too bad that such a man as Hoover must have as his support-

(Lebanon Reporter) In accepting the Democratic nomination for President, Governor Alfred Smith of New York discusses the campaign issues with characteristic frankness and assumes leadership of his party with reassuring pledges of loyal adherence to the party’s convention platform. With the possible exception of his statements regarding prohibition Governor Smith’s speech of acceptance should serve as a ringing challenge to Democrats throughout the Nation. His stirring review of Democratic achievements in our national history, his promises to employ Democratic ideas and remain faithful to Democratic ideals in working out the problems of Rational Government gives assurance of a virile leadership which the party imperatively needs at this time.

It is not a politically minded judge to “protect” his party, but for the whole oody of independent citizens who love both their country and their State to do all they can to elect as President a man supremely .qualified for the place and at the same time in regard to all State and senatorial candidates, to overthrow the party responsible for the wretches who have disgraced Indiana. WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE. Editor Times—The Eighteenth amendment never had a square deal, and yet with all the handicaps, the prohibition cause made wonderful progress. Wage earners received eight billions more in 1926 then in 1918, which is an increase of 25 per cent. Living costa have been reduced 18 per cent since 1920. Employers benefited by Increased production and reduced labor turnover through sober workmen. There were fewer accidents and no more "blue Mondays.” Farmers buy three times as much farm machinery and sell 45 per cent more milk than in 1920, and rarely have a drunken farm hand. If space would allow I would like to show how prohibition has been a benefit to the bankers, the insurance men, the real estate men, the manufacturers, the wife, the family, the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, the church, the home of the State, and so forth. The wets are making all the noise but will get defeated at the ballot box. Public sentiment is growing in favor of prohibition. For instance in Ohio: 1914, wet by 24,152; 1915, wet by 55,408; 1917, wet by 1,307; 1918, dry by 25,759; 1919, dry by 41,854; 1922, dry by 189,427. In 1928 the wets were knocked out by a big majority. Thereby prohibition has come to stay, notwithstanding the fact that it had only half a chance. I admit the laws are not enforced like they ought to be. Who is to blame? The drinker defies the: law. \Vhatever trouble we have they are the cause of it all. And. oh. yes. the Republican party in power is also to blame in playing fast and loose and fishing for both wet and dry votes. What, we need today is a real honest-to-goodness prohibition party in power. Neither one of the old parties will enforce the law. They are not built that way. The prohibition cause will never fully succeed until a real prohibition party gets into power. Os course, we don’t expect anything from A1 Smith, and if Hover don’t ipake good there will be real prohibition party put in power in 1932. We have twice the required amount of names on petition we need to put the prohibition ticket on the ballot. Yours for a square deal. H. S. BONSIB, Secretary-Treasurer Prohibition State Committee. *

U. S. to Work in Hand With World League

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreisn Editor, Scripps-Howard Newspapers T)URELY as a matter of practical world politics the United States henceforth inevitably will find it advisable if not necessary to work hand in hand with the League of Nations for world peace. More than once this thought found expression in the gilded galleries of Quai D’Orsay as world statesmen, journalists and observers gathered to witness the signing of the pact ou* ; awing war. More than one passage of Foreign Minister Briand s speech gives color to this idea. Said he, in the concluding address, “Great hope is now being signalled t'' the world along the wires. Henceforth, it will behoove us as a sacred duty to do all that can and must be done for that hope not to be disappointed. Peace is proclaimed. It is well. It is much. But it still remains necessary to organize it. That is the work of tomorrow.” Even before that he took occasion to quote from Coolidge’s Gettysburg speech. Said Briand, “Modern law interdependence between nations makes it incumbent upon every statesman to take up for himself those memorable words of President Coolidge ‘an act of war in any part of the world is an act that injures the interest of my country.' ’’ a a a IN view of this modern idea of war, it is asked, can the United States consistently remain entirely passive while war is coming on? Now that America stands with the rest of the world morally bound to discourage war, can she hold aloof while other signatories of the pact actively try to prevent a threatened war disastrous to her as well as to them. It is pointed out that with the exception of the United States the rest of the great powers signing the Kellogg pact already are members of the League of Nations. The league already is functioning as an international society, the chief purpose of which is to organize world peace. Can, it. is asked, the United States refuse to cooperate with it in the future in any legitimate effort to forestall a mutually disastrous war? No one is discussing the United States actually joining the league but observers rather are expecting America to find some way to cooperate more closely on the outside as the most practical means of preventing war, which as Coolidge said would injure American interests wherever it happens.
