Shumaker No Martyr The time, the method and the manner in which Dr. E. S. Shumaker of the Anti-Saloon League chose to go to the penal farm strongly suggests that he is attempting to put a martyr’s crown upon his head and to influence the coming election with the idea that he is suffering for the cause of prohibition. This newspaper protested strongly when he was sentenced, not that it had any sympathy with his political methods and detested his flagrant misrepresentations, but because it believed that the court had established a dangerous power within itself when it asserted its right to punish for any statement, even false statements, concerning decisions in cases that were completed and not before the court for action. It did believe that the open attempt of Shumaker to use his political power to influence the decision of the court in his own case was so serious that not only he, but Senators Watson and Robinson, who admitted discussing means of sneaking into the back door of that court through the attorney general’s office in order to gain the support of Shumaker two years ago was most reprehensible and a challenge to the integrity of courts. It believes that with Shumaker in his retirement should go Arthur Robinson, who acted as “telephone girl” in the conversation between Watson and Shumaker and that Watson should be called to account for writing letters which, he says, were intended to influence the official actions of Attorney General Gilliom and find reflection in the court. The facts in the Shumaker case are of record. They show that in his publication he denounced c’ecisions”'f -the supreme court and misrepresented ftiom. They show that he proposed to elect judges who Would take his narrow view of law and toss away constitutional safeguards in order to enforce the Wright law. The supreme court declared that Inaugurated a reign of terrorism which embarrassed the court in regard to decisions on any liquor case, an extension of the theory that discussion of pending oases is contempt which has its dangers. In reaching that decision the court had the advice of six outstanding lawyers, evenly divided as to political affiliations. They concurred in the belief that the actions of Shumaker were well calculated to set up a super government in which the constitution and the courts would be destroyed. 'Whenever courts can be either coerced, intimidated secretly controlled, law disappears. ; That makes it imperative that the people be especially alert to protect the highest Court from those who later refuse to participate in decisions because of either membership in or friendship for orders of hooded hate. Any effort, however, to make it appear that Shumaker is now suffering because of his advocacy of prohibition rests on entirely false assumptions. He suffers because he chose an indirect method, through judicial decisions, to wipe out parts of the constitution. He believed, sincerely enough, that it was necessary to set aside the constitution in regard to search of homes without warrant in order to enforce the prohibition law. -There is a perfectly legal way to accomplish that object, if Shumaker had followed it. That is by amending the constitution of the United States and of Indiana by repealing the Bill of Rights. Shumaker has been and still is a power in Indiana. He has helped to elect men who disgraced the state. He has never regarded anything as important except a dry law and lip service to his cause. He has been a factor in foisting upon the state those who are unworthy, but were eloquent in behalf of prohibition. That power led him into the grave mistake of assuming the attitude of dictator. He suffers the fate of those who fail in such a purpose. In its methods of protecting itself, the supreme court has established a precedent this newspaper believes to be dangerous. There should have been other ways of punishing Shumaker for his falsehoods and his unfounded propoganda. If his sentence results in forever closing all back doors to that court, stopping all forms of intimidation and other secret influence, he should glory in his service. But to paint him as a martyr to the dry cause is to again falsify the picture. The eventual success of prohibition can never rest upon throwing away the rest of the constitution. It must come from an enlightened conscience and perhaps a public sentiment so strong that it will demand real enforcement. It will only come when that sentiment is exhibited on other than election days and when violation of the law will bring the same social ostracism that now goes to the murderer, the robber and the thief. — ■ ‘ Are You a Sheep? The influence of Boss Coffin can be detected in the decision of the election commissioners to place a separate key upon the voting machines for each of the fifteen presidential electors. The state commission ruled that it would be legal to have one key for the entire fifteen. These electors are not chosen for their personal ability. They vote- in accordance with the result in the state and are merely machines for registering the public will. No one knows their names, except the candidates themselves. Every voter who wants Hoover will naturally wish to vote for all the fifteen. The same is true of Smith adherents. The decision makes it as hard as possible for any df the voters to vote for a presidential-candidate on one ticket and candidates for state and local offices on another ticket. The decision is a very patent attempt to make sheep out 'of the voters and force straight party ballots instead of independent choice. Every indication shows that very many voters in this county will vote for Hoover and desire to vote against the Leslie ticket in the state and the Coffin ticket in the county. The decision is well calculated to dismay the voter and possibly pick up ballots for the Coffin crowd at home and for Leslie and Robinson in the state. The answer, of course, is an intelligent study of the ballot so that it will correctly register the will of the voter. You may have to pull more levers on the machine, but it is worth while. The decision is not designed to help either Smith or Hoover. It is apparent that Hoover needs no help and could get none if he did from the local ticket of his party. That local ticket is his biggest handicap. Eome day, and soon if the temper of the people ,v ~v

is as indicated, this county will have officials who will try to make voting as easy as possible, who will be eager to let the people rule, instead of depending on sheep for office. Don’t let Coffin drive you into his flock by such schemes. The People Are Tired “The people are tired of hearing of these oil leases,” says Dr. Work. They are. But not in the way he thinks. They are so tired of the oil muck that they desire to uncover it all, and have done with this national disgrace. Work has an alibi for his act as secretary of interior last January renewing the Sinclair Salt Creek royalty oil contract, which the attorney general now holds invalid. Work says he acted on his departmental solicitor’s opinion. That alibi explains, but does not justify. It convicts Work of more than stupidity. He handled in routine fashion a contract questionable on its face, which actually was being questioned, in fact, and which bore the notorious names of Fall and Sinclair. That contract was suspended not only on technical legal grounds, but for possible fraud, which the attorney general is investigating. Asa cabinet officer sworn to protect the nation’s resources, Work was guilty of such extreme negligence as forever to unfit him for public office. Now Work has the effrontery to state: “The criticism of my renewal of the Salt Creek purchasing contract is entirely of campaign origin.” He announces this on the stationery of the Republican national committee, of which he is chairman. This is another, characteristic stupidity. It is an unworthy and ineffective attempt to hide behind Herbert Hoover. In welcoming the nomination of Hoover, this newspaper emphasized that one of his hardest jobs would be to get rid of the Republican “old gang,” the Slemps, the Vares, the Works, clinging to the bandwagon. Hopver can not help that. But he can prevent them from continuing party leadership. Hoover should unseat Work. 1 “We have found the man to beat Hoover,” was the sarcastic comment of a famous Republican senator, when Work was made campaign chairman. Since then, wherever he personally has touched the campaign, there has been an almost unbroken line of errros. Even Work can not defeat Hoover. But we are interested in more than Hoover’s election. We are interested in the kind of administration he will give the country. We have faith in the candidate. That faith does not extend to some of the old line Republican leaders, who hope for places when Hoover enters the White House. The only question now is when to unload Work. The sooner the better, in our judgment. For the people are not only tired of the oil leases, as Dr. Work says. The people are also very tired of Dr. Work. British scientists are reported to be at loggerheads over the problem of whether the moon some millions of years hence will fall upon the earth, or will gradually move away from it. Maybe they ought to take a straw vote on it. According to the current trend of the American drama, golfers are cheating posterity by not dashing off a couple of plays.

Pasteur Routed the Mice

No. 185

THE road of the pioneer is never an easy one. There are always difficulties to overcome and battles to be fought. , „ , _. , Great honor had come to Louis Pasteur. The great Ecole Normale, the famous normal school of Paris, had given him the post of administrator and director o. scientific studies. But there were plenty of troubles ahead of him just the same. When he arrived in Paris, he found that there were a few laboratories for students but no research labora-

Pasteur believed that his own work had demonstrated that De la Tour had been right in believing that it was the living, growing yeast which brought about fermentation and the formation of alcohol in the brewery vats. He also believed that he had demonstrated that it was the rod-like bacteria which caused the formation of lactic acid, the acid of sour milk. Today we know that Pasteur was right. But at the time, there were eminent men who refused to believe him. Liebig, the great German chemist, the greatest authority upon chemistry at the time, was still unconvinced. Liebig insisted that the yeast did not turn sugar into alcohol. He insisted that it was the presence of albumen. Pasteur was positive that he was right and so he began to itch to get back to his experiment. He inspected every room of the old building of the Ecole Normale. hunting for a place for laboratory. Finally he found an old forgotten attic. Thick dust lay everywhere. Mice scurried into their holes as Pasteur opened the door. Pasteur decided that this room would do for his laboratory. He swept out the dust and plugged up the mouse holes. In someway he found enough money to get his beloved microscope and incubator ovens and chemical apparatus. * He was ready to launch his dozens of experiments, experiments in which the refutation of Liebig instead of being an end was only to be a beginning. Pasteur was already famous in the world of science. But his fame at the moment was a trifle compared to the glory which was soon to be his.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Four Years Ago Massachusetts Cast 1,213,000 Votes. This Year She Is Expected to Approach 1,500,000. If the Poll of the Nation Shows a Similar Increase More Than 37,000,000 Votes Will Be Cast.”

BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 19.—Registration closed in Massachusetts Wednesday night. As in many other states, all preceding records are broken. Where less than 1,400,000 citizens enrolled four years ago, more than 1,700,000 placed their names on the list this year. In Boston the number of qualified voters advanced from 247,000 in 1924 to 298,000. It is the same story throughout the state. One town of the Sout lboro, has registered 52 per cent cf its population. As migh i be expected, both parties claim the advantage, but without anything to go on, except the reports of their workers. Generally speaking, these communities in which bad business, or labor trouble is expected to produce a Democratic majority show rather less than the average gain. Fall River, for instance, only shows an increase of 3,000, while Springfield, a strong Republican center, shows one of 18,000. Unprejudiced observers believe that a safe, though not large majority of the 300,000 new voters will line up for Hoover. While Massachusetts is scheduled for such a dose of speech-making and direct-by-mail appealing as she never experienced before, the bulk of available enery and cash will be devoted to ways and means of getting the vote out from now on. Four years ago Massachusets cast 1,213,000 votes. This year she is expected to approach 1,500,000. If the poll of the nation shows a similar increase, more than 37,000,000 votes will be cast in this election. tt tt tt Why Sell the Oil? Debris from the oil scandal continues to fall in the political pot. Secretary of the Interior West, acting on a ruling by Attorney General Sargent will stop deliveries of government oil to a Sinclair company next Monday. Though Former Secretary Fall made this contract six years ago, it was renewed by Dr. Hubert D. Work, who succeeded him, and who now is chairman of the Republican national committee. Joseph A. Phelan, who was oil expert for the United States shipping board from 1919 to 1925, says he protested to Secretary Work against the renewal of this contract, and that being unsuccessful, he and W. J. Williams carried the matter to President Coolidge who turned it over to the Department of Justice. He says that Teapot Dome is insignificant compared to the Salt Creek field, which already has produced 100,000,000 barrels of oil, and the resoures of which are incalculable, and that the government has sustained vast losses through the Sinclair lease. Passing over the question of whether 3 cents a gallon, which the government received for this oil, was an equitable price, why is it necessary or desirable to sell the oil at all? tt m tt Grafters Punished Convictions of Connolly and Seeley ;.n the Queens sewer graft case comes as a distinct reassurance. New York is to be congratulated. One wonders if the jury that found them guilty would not have arrived at a similar decision in the Sinciair-Fall-Dolieney case. Laymen will find it hard to discover that more convincing evidence was presented against these sewer grafters than against the oil conspirators, or explain why the latter should go free, while the former were convicted. If \the federal government makes a poor showing in one respect, however, it makes a good showing in another. It succeeded in compelling a return of the stolen goods, which is something New York has yet to accomplish. tt tt a Jail a Full Page Ad Charles Smith, a head of the Assoiation for the Advancement of Atheism, goes to jail in Arknasas on a charge of distributing printed material, “calculated to provoke a breach of the peace.” Stripped of technicalities, the charge against him amounted to neither more nor less than preaching atheism. He might have escaped by piying a small fine, but that was to<> tame a climax. Howevi • one may disagree with Smith :.i theology, his sense of advertising value is beyond doubt. Paying a fine would have brought him only one chance for publicity. Staying in jail twenty-six days and a half may bring him more. As for that tolerance about which we hear so much on every hand, it seems to hold no hope for Smith. His religious complex, or lack of one, places him beyond the pale of the broadmindedness which so many are advocating. Under the constitution, we are at liberty to elect an atheist President of the United States. If that were to happen, would Arkansas recognize him? a tt tt Politics Colors Justice * Italy inflicts capital punishment for the first time in forty-six years. It was for ,the murder of two Fascists. Plain murder still can be forgiven to the extent of substituting life imprisonment for death, but not for the murder of Mussolini’s admirers. Thus politics enters the court wherever and whenever clique rule is allowed full sway. Democracy may be inefficient, but it possesses the virtue of saving justice from political tyranny. That is one thing the Mussolini theory of government can not be. The Mussolini theory of government places partisan loyalty above everything else ana makes crime against it doubly serious.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY (Copyright, Scripps-Howard Newspapers, 1928) WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Reliable reports of a prospective $20,000,000 Wall Street loan to the South Manchurian railway, involving possible international political consequences, have been revived, coincident with the arrival here of the new Japanese ambassador, Katsuji Debuchi. Debuchi, formerly charge d’aflairs here and until recently deputy foreign minister in Tokio, will pay his respects to Secretary Kellogg and present his credentials to President Colidge next year. Evidences of close official friendship between Washington and Tokio have been especially marked since Japan sided with the United States in the British-American cruiser disput which broke up the Geneva naval conference. This friendship has increased, il anything, since the recent “secret" British-French naval agreement, which curtly was so condemned by the Washington Government. Nominally the loan project was dropped as a result of public disfavor in this country and China, when it was discussed last year. Actually, however, it is understood the loan is only “on ice,” ready to be brought out whenever exoedient. Kellogg, following provisional negotiations between Japan and Thomas Lamont of Morgan & Cos. last year in Tokio, said the state department had no connection wit hthe project, but had no objection to it. After public criticism had arisen, the department stated it had not approved the proposal which had not been presented to it formally. n a a THE department has a standing request for American bankers to submit to it all proposed foreign loans, so it may express disapproval if such loans appepar to conflict with the public interest. To avoid official veto of a loan, bankers often first discuss the matter with the department informally and “off the record.” It is understood this is what happened in the case of the Japanese loan at the time Kellogg unofficially was favorable to it. Reported revival of the loan project, and the belief that the state department will not be unfriendly to it at the “proper time,” is provoking again the old opposition. This opposition is ltd by certain missionary liberal, and so-called anti-imperialist groups, including congressmen and senators. It is based on the fear that such a loan would tend to commit America commercially and diplomatically to alleged Japanese imperailism in China. These critics say that Japan, through its south Manchurian railway, is “practically the dictator of Manchuria,” and that protection of those railway rgihts has been and is the constantly recurring “excuse” given by Japan for her decisive military intervintion there. tt a a THEY point to Japan’s recent reported threat, preventing young Chang, the Manchurian ruler, from coming to a full agreement with the new Chinese Nationalist government at Nanking. The Nationalist government has been recognized by the United States, but is in the midst of a series of violent disputes with Tokio over alleged Japanese violations of Chinese sovereignty. The state department is watching and not talking Washington disapproves the continued Japanese military occupation of Tsinan-Fu, and would oppose further extension of Japanese power over Manchuria. The United States government never has recognized a special status for Manchuria, which under \rnericanChinese treaties is an integral part of the indepedent Chinese republic. Despite these disquieting factors, there is no sign that the state department is alarmed by this far eastern situation. On the contraiV there are evidences of a deliberate policy of official fstith in Japan’s good intentions, intended perhaps as the most effective American methods of encouraging an anti-militar-ist regime in Tokio.
