Will Leslie Make Amends? Will Harry Leslie now apologize, not to Frank Dailey, but to the people of Indiana, and explain just how he happened to make the wild and reckless charge that Dailey was a cowering, negligent or worse, district attorney, afraid to prosecute corrupt politicians until Judge A. B. Anderson forced action? The most charitable explanation of this attack is that Leslie has fallen into such bad company around the fire marshal’s office that he has become irresponsible and gulliible. In view of the fact that Judge Anderson whose statements will be accepted without question by all citizens of this State, declares that the charge of Leslie is untrue, it is rather imperative that Leslie do something to clear himself. It is not a question of veracity or of recollection. It is the bald charge of Leslie against the dignified and prompt disclaimer of a Federal judge whose promotion to a higher bench in the Federal courts meant a real loss to law and order in this State. Surely Leslie cannot wish or desire to carry to the Governor’s office, if by any misfortune he should be elected, a record of having slandered his opponent for office wilfully and deliberately. Yet there can be no other conclusion than that the slander was as deliberate as it was false if Leslie refrains from retraction now that he knows that Judge Anderson very definitely says that the statement was untrue. Instead of being the protector of corruption, as Leslie painted him, Frank Dailey is described by Judge Anderson as “vigilant, zealous and upright.” There are words that the people will do well to remember when they vote for the next Governor of this State. It will not do for Leslie to parade the State and say that he does not believe in the statute of limitations. The farce of such utterances is shown by the fact that Jackson, almost as an echo, again praises Leslie and again repeats his indorsement, given in the hour of nomination, when goblins ran like deuces wild in the Republican convention. It will not do for Leslie to promise that he will not pardon Stephenson, who controlled the first Legislature of which Leslie was the speaker. How sure is he that there will be no pardon for the former dragon before the next Governor is inaugurated? The charge by Leslie and the statement of Judge Anderson raise a deeper question. It is one of fitness to hold the place of Governor. Self preservation, if not self respect should prompt Leslie to add an apology or a rejoinder. Not even his bad advisers would suggest that he question the veracity of Judge Anderson. The Military Dollar The economist has a way of putting things that strikes home. He deals in terms of dollars and cents, which everybody understands. The philosopher and moralist may inveigh against the waste and tragedy of war, but when the economist tells you that 83 cents of every taxpayer’s dollar paid into the treasury of the United States goes to defray the cost of past wars or to prepare for future wars, he clinches the argument with compelling facts. Irving Fisher, professor of economics at Yak and widely known puolicist, is authority for the statement that out of this taxpayer’s dollar, 32 cents goes for military functions and 51 cents for Interest and redemption of public debt, which for the most part been incurred for war purposes. Out of the remaining one-sixth Uncle Sam has to provide for all public works, law enforcement, scientific investigation and civil functions of government. The division is entirely out of line with progress of a civilization which constantly is attempting to supplant force with reason. Professor Fisher aptly declares that the moral support of the world should be mustered in the interests of peace, not only on humanitarian and ethical grounds, but on a “purely dollars and cents (or sense) basis.” Peace Hath Her Victories In 1917, the year the United States Government entered the World War, it also entered another kind of war. This latter, in cooperation with States, was to stamp out tuberculosis among cattle, and thereby to lessen the danger of that disease among our children as well as others who use milk. This war of peace has been carried on unremittingly since, and today it is announced that the task of testing and rendering free from tuberculosis the cattle of one whole State—North Carolina —has been accomplished, with several other States nearing the 100 per cent mark. More than 22,000,000 cattle, Including over half of those in the dairy areas, have been tested. The percentage of infected cattle in the whole country has dropped from four to two. It is costing the Government about $5,000,000 a year, or something like an hour’s expenses during the height of the World War. A British doctorl says the weak-minded should not be allowed to marry. His ideal must be race suicide. Garters for men are said to be selling as high as $22.50 in New York City. Sounds like a holdup. Bagpipes really were invented by the Romans, a historian declares. The Scotch aren’t such bad people after all. •1 ‘

Congress and the Radio Now that the radio has made it possible for all voters interested to listen to the actual words of candidates and speakers at election time, we begin to wonder just how long it will be before the public is hooked up to Congress. Some people think this would not be an interesting show, but they are mistaken. There is a lot that is uninteresting about what goes on, now that there is no radio. There is much that does not sound very thrilling as it is reported by the correspondents in and out of the galleries. But this is partly because the Congressional show lacks the actual audience. Much of the time the galleries are empty. But suppose the Senate or the House were hooked up to the thousands who every evening sit and listen to this or that. Suppose it were announced that Borah was to debate with Jim Reed. It is our guess that the audience would be big and that it would be pleased. There is much that goes on in Congress that never is reported. The space of a newspaper is too limited. And think what it would do to tfcat hoary fraud, the "leave to print.” Instead of committing an undelivered speech to the Congressional record, the young and ambitious member would make a desperate effort to put his oratory to a real test. Os course, the hours should be changed to accommodate the radio audience. Like the British parliament, Congress should meet in the evening. Members could do their department errand work during the day, and take some much needed outdoor exercise, and then debate and vote on public matters until 10 or 11 p. m. And so to bed. L Question of Principle The State Department should not let up until It has obtained complete satisfaction from France for her treatment of Harold Horan, Paris correspondent for the Hearst newspapers. Suddenly set upon at one of the business corners of the French capital, the American correspondent was hustled off and held incommunicado for more than seven hours while the secret police subjected him to inquisition. It seems that Horan had sent his newspapers certain details concerning the now notorious secret naval accord between France and England, and France didn’t like it. Horan says they refused to allow him to phone his office or get in touch with a lawyer or the American embassy, while threatening him with five years in prison if he did not tell where he got his information. This newspaper believes a vital principle Is involved and it is this: American newspaper correspondents abroad are the eyes and ears of the American people. It is their duty to report events bearing upon the interests of the United States. They can be, and are, of genuine service to the Nation and all its interests, up to and including the national defense. And it is distinctly the duty of the American Government to see to it that the legitimate rights of these reporters are not infringed upon. If American correspondents abroad can be spirited away and arbitrarily subjected to a species of torture which went out of style with the Middle Ages, and the guilty governments can get away with it, the usefulness of such corresDondents is practically nil. It tends to terrorize them into being a mere echo of what foreign offices abroad want them to say instead of the independent observers they are supposed to be. The National Safety council reports that housework is one of the most hazardous of feminine occupations. Quite a few of the ladies seem very timid these days. The average voter is going to be awfully surprised election day when he goes to the polls and learns that neither Mrs. Willebrandt nor William Allen White is running for President.

ANY list of the world’s great names would have to include that of Louis Pasteur. Civilization would not be where it is today weer it not for Pasteur.

Leeuwenhoek died in 1723 and microbe hunting lagged. But in 1729 Lazzarro Spallanzani was born in northern Italy. At 30 he became a professor at the University of Reggio, reviving microbe hunting and proving many interesting things about them. Spallanzani by a series of brilliant experiments proved that microbes did not spring into existence spontaneously, but had to have parents like all other living things. Spallanzani died in 1799, and again microbe hunting lagged. The third of the microbe hunters was not born until twenty-three years later. It was in 1822 that Louis Pasteur was born. Until Pasteur came upon the scene no one had regarded the study of miverobes as having any relation to human happiness or welfare. Microbes were a scientific turiosity. It was interesting to know that they existed and what they looked like and how big they were and so on. But the question in many people's mind, if expressed in a modern popular phrase, would have been "What of it?” Well, Pasteur was soon to answer that for the world. It is well for us to keep this in mind. Occasionally we hear of some complicated and intricate piece of scientific investigation which seems to bear no relation to the affairs of the world. We are tempted to ask "What of iV?” No one knows the answer. There may be none for 100 years. On the other hand, it may turn out on the day after tomorrow that that particular experiment has turned up something of vital concern to the whole world.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Realization That a TwoThirds Vote in Congress and a Three-Fourths Majority of the States Are Required to Bring About Modification, Influences Many People to Disregard Prohibition as an Important Issue.”

New haven, Ccnn, Oct. 11.— This is one New England city in which the manufacture of textiles does not play an important part. That is one reason why it enjoys a normal growth, why it never has suffered from a great depression, why the southward drift of cotton mills holds no terror for it, and why it regards "prosperity” as a good political argument. New Haven produces guns, clocks, hardware, silverware, hats, seamless rubber, folding boxes and other articles which are necessary to the complex life and commerce of this generation. There are about as many people employed by the Winchester Arms Company, as attend Yale University. Eacfa is as much a product of human inventiveness as the other. War, culture, sportsmanship and the gang march hand in hand down the "ringing grooves” created by human ingenuity and a machine age. # a tt Connecticut for G, 0, P, There is some difference of opinion here as to how New Haven will go in November, but the Republicans are more optimistic than the Democrats. That is also true of the State. Democratic leaders are ready enough to predict that Smith will carry it, but the prophecy breathes hope, rather than conviction. Republicans, on the other hand, forecast a triumph with such naive trustfulness as makes one hesitate to call the State doubtful out of consideration for their feelings. Defeat not only would leave them sorrowful, but shqcked. Reverting to a lifelong habit of guessing the result by striking an average of all claims, I would say that Connecticut, will go Republican in November by a safe, though not stunning, majority. a tt a Prohibition Not Enough Those issues which have stirred other sections of the country so deeply do not seem to be cutting much of a figure in Connecticut. Water power and farm relief strike no responsive chord, while it is impossible to rake up a good, wholesole whisper. Prohibition, of course, has its usual appeal. Most everybody believes the State would .go wet if it were given the chance to vote squarely on the question, and that if this were the sole issue, or if people were convinced that Governor Smith could do what he wants to, the Democrats might carry it. Here, as in most other sections of the country, realization that a twothirds vote in Congress and a threefourths majority of the States are required to bring about geuuine modification, influences many people to disregard prohibition as a paramount, or even an important issue. u u tt Who Deserves Fame? New Haven is the home of United States Senator Bingham, Representative Tilson and the Democratic candidate for Governor, Charles G. Morris, and recently has become the home of John Coolidge. While justly proud of such distinctions, the city talks more about the f2ct that it once was the home of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin; Whitney Blake, inventor of the stone crusher; Charles Goodyear, discoverer of vulcanized rubber; Thomas Sanford, inventor of the phosphorous match; Chauncey Jerome, first to make clocks with standardized metal parts and Henry S. Parmelee, originator of the automatic spri ikler. Say what you will, but it requires time to show who, or what really is entitled to fame. a a tt Tribute at Shrine Five descendants of those twentyfive ire/e barons who signed the Magna Charta 613 years ago, meet at Bury Stedmond’s to commemorate the immemoi-.al event. Theoretically, there should be 10,000 times as many descendants, and they should have flocked to this sanctified shrine of modern liberty not only as a matter of pride, but to show a decent appreciation of their heritage. Five descendants of twenty-five barons after six centuries—what does it prove with regard to the Malthusian theory, or the prevailing conception of popular gratitude? It looks as though we still had to depend on aristocracy to celebrate the birth of freedom. Thunder of 'The Herd’ In this connection, it is only fair to recall that Magna Charta was not really conceived as a bill of rights, but that its principle object was to convince the British King that his powerful nobles still had privileges, and that the people were given consideration to insure their support. Not only on that occasion, but many times afterward, the people gained their liberties when those in authority fell out, when factionalism split the ruling class, and when the multitude required concessions for its favor. The people would still be obliged to rely on that doubtful and capricious game, if modern liberty dnd modern life had not made their support more essential for every kind of enterprise and movement. Essential as the common herd might have been because of its power to wage war in those days when the arbitrament of arms determined the course of empires, the fate of races and .the survival of creeds, it has become ten times as essential for its consuming quality in these days of massed wealth, organized production and high pressure salesmanship.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hvgela, the Health Magazine. WITH the coming of fall and with the exposure of the skin to the wintry blasts, chapping of the skin becomes a daily problem. Chapping is the way the skin has of expressing its reaction to physical irritations. In winter the air is dry and the glands of the skin situated just below the surface are relatively inactive. They produce less moisture than formerly. This, coupled with the increased dryness erf the skin, becaurj the wind and dryness of the air serve to evaporate the moisture more

IT'S a great thing for the American Legion to hold its national convention in Texas, enabling the sons of those who followed Grant and Lee to cover the last bitterness of the Civil War with the laurels of a common glory. Let Europeans have what alliances they will, Uncle Sam asks only—the eternal alliance of the North and South. a a a And we were glad to see the Legionaires give General Pershing a royal welcome. The last war being an impersonal affair, no beloved heroes issued from it, as from former conflicts, where the privates saw their commanders in the midst of it, but the clays have gone since the armistice have revealed Pershing as a mighty personality of the great conflict. Indeed, many Europeans said he would have been the commander-in-chief of the Allies had the war gone another year. a a Having only one dirigible of the Los Angeles type, It would seem that we could afford to put sufficient lights on her when she is cruising through the ether to avert collisions with airplanes, such as have been avoided narrowly in the past. Every once in a while our excommit blunders which make blind men seem all-wise.

Editor Times The theory of police authorities, that the second man found dead after the Newman Guy holdup east of Greenfield committed suicide is, I think, erroneous. A more rational view is that when the wounded bandit could go no farther, his companion administered the "coup de grace,” planted the evidence of suicide, and thereby made for himself a clean getaway, for "dead men tell no tales.” Had the wounded bandit been found alive by the searching posse, he would have given away the whole bag of tricks. E. P. M. Editor Times—To the people who want to know if the Prohibition party ticket is on the ballot, 1 wish to say that both State and national tickets will be on the ballot. We secured more than the required signatures to get on the ballot. In the 1926 campaign in Indiana, the Republicans got 534.058 votes and fell off over 130,000. The Democrats got 473,320 votes and fell off 65,000 votes. The Socialists got 4,885 votes and fell off over 1,000 votes (stay at home), but the Prohibition party gained 40 per cent with no campaign funds—all conscience voters.

quickly, is responsible for chapping. The lack of moisture makes the skin inelastic, brittle and more easily attacked by irritating substances, such as occur in dish water and in some soaps. When the fat secreted by the skin glands is present in abundance, these irritants cannot attack it. Soaps serve to dissolve such fats and to take them away from the surface. When the hands are badly chapped, soap and water should be used in great moderation, and when they are used, the hands should be dried immediately after with a soft towel. Since the fat of the skin is lessened, and since this is one of the causes of the chapping, the deficiency of fat may be supplied by

your votes. Whatever his majority may be in Indiana will only count fifteen electoral votes, and any votes that may be piled up for Hoover won't offset Smith’s votes in any other State, and again, Dry Voter, why not vote the Prohibition party ticket for the following reasons: First—lt is the only really dry party in the field without any wet voters in it. Second—A big Prohibition party vote will cause the politicians to act dry. Third—A big vote will help us to get back on the ballot. Fourth—And thus you help keep the issue before the people. Fifth—Keep your ballot white and your conscience clear. Sixth—There are by far more drys than there are wets. The drys should not divide into wet parties, but get in with an honest to goodness dry party. This they ought to do if they are sincere.

During the winter season, particularly if the hands are likely to be exposed a great deal to outdoor air, they should be greased twice each day with one of the ointments mentioned.

During the day it may be put on lightly and rubbed in by rubbing the hands together for a few min utes.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY YITASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—With ’ * Secretary of State Kellogg joining President Coolidge in verbally spanking American ministers “of career,” working to retain diplomatic posts regardless of changes of Washington administrations, the foreign service morale is sinking. Today many of the younger American diplomats here were discussing among themselves in discouraged fashion what they consider an official misunderstanding of the situation, seriously weakening the professional diplomatic service. The flurry began with the report that twenty-two American ministers “of career” have agreed tentatively not tfi present their resignations on March 4, as is customary when administrations change. These "career” men, in contrast to political appointees, have spent their lives in the professional diplomatic service, working up slowly from humble secretaryships to ministerial posts. They think the foreign service act passed by Congress created a nonpolitical and permanent service, comparable to the Army and Navy. They add that, if they are subjected to the same rules of automatic resignation applicable to purely political appointees whenever anew President takes office, there is no point to the foreign service act. Both the individual and the country are losers. Kellogg denies the ministers entered into the reported agreement, basing his denial on the fact that he never heard of such an agreement which he would consider absurd. He firmly is of the opinion, however, that “career” ministers in most cases are better than political appointees. He has stimulated consistently such promotions. n a a r ls 'HOUGH Kellogg may be correct JL in doubting the general belief that the twenty-two ministers have entered an informal agreement, there is no question that practically all of them and of the foreign service fre' i which thev graduated strongly oppose automatic resignations. President Coolidge’s "spokesman’* is alarmed over the violation of White House powers implied in the'-e demands. Coolidee wants it understood that the Constitution ' makes diplomatic chiefs the representatives of the President, to be hired and fired by him alone. He wants the diplomats to know they will not be allowed to create a selfoeroetuating system for themselves, and that the next President will do his own appointing. The diplomats, of course, cannot answer back, but they point out among themselves that their desired system would not in any way interfere with the unnuestioned right of a President to dismiss any diplomatic officer at any time. It merely would recognize formally the actual fact of diff-wenti-ation that some ministers and ambassadors are merely personal political appointees of the outgoing I resident, while others were appointed to ministerial rank with a presumption of permanence because of their life Gaining and service in th° diplomatic corps. Why should nnv young man want to make the difficult and low-paid entrance into the foreign service if the highest success he can aspire to in maturity is to be an underling of any casual business man or politician, untrained in diplomacy, who is given a ministerial or ambassadorial post, it is asked? a a a THEIR depression increases when they recall that after Roosevelt began rewarding career men with promotion as chiefs of mission, thus beginning professionaiizaton of our diplomatic staff, the Wilson administration swung back almost completely to the so-called “spoils” system. Now under Coolidge there are twenty-eight career ministers and ambassadors, compared with twen-ty-five political appointees. The latter include the most important posts, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokio, Mexico City. The twenty-ei?ht “career” chiefs are: Ambassadors—R. H. Bliss, Argentina: H. S. Gibson, Belgium; E. V. Morgan, Brazil; H. P. Fletcher, Italy; J. C. Grew, Turkey. Ministers —J. V. Mac Murray, China; Wil’iam Phillips, Canada; J. Caffery, C olombia; L. Einstein, Czechoslovakia; H. P. Dodge, Denmark; E. A. Young, Dominican Republic; F. M. Gunther, Eygpt; A. E. Southard, Abyssinia; R. F. Skinner, Greece: G. T. Summerlin, Honduras; J. B. Wright, Hungary; F. A. Sterling, Irish Free State; M.
