Clean Up Every day only emphasizes the fact that the contest in state and local affairs is between those who demand a cleanup and those who still wish to cover up. Boss Coffin is working as usual for Leslie and a continuation of that power through which the state and city tvere disgraced. lie Avants his men as commissioners, as sheriff and treasurer, in the important posts that control jobs and dollars and poAver. Coffin is the same man Avho was indicted with Governor Jackson, the charge being dismissed because of the statute of limitations. • Coffin is the same man Avho announced that he intended to retire from politics and then grabbed a higher partisan position and now hopes to control the state through Leslie. The announcements of Leslie each day emphasize his undesirability as Governor. When he attacked Frank C. Dailey and made definite charges that Dailey Avas either a corrupt or timid or negligent prosecutor and recklessly dragged in the name of Federal Judge A. B. Anderson as his Avitness, he merely laid the ground Avork for proof of his instability, if no Avorse. For Judge Anderson very promptly said that Leslie had spoken untruths and added his indorsement of Dailey as “vigilant, zealous and upright.” Leslie has not yet apologized to the people for this effort to mislead them. He has not apologized to the people for indulging in false and malicious attack in order to gain votes. He has written by that act his own commentary upon himself and it is not a pleasant commentary. Today Leslie explains his part in suppressing the legislative investigation of Stephenscnism, which required a party caucus and application of the party lash. He says that those Avho demanded it had nothing but hearsay and rumor. Very definitely Thomas Adams made charges and perhaps Leslie means to imply that his presenC chief advocate had only rumors and hearsay. Perhaps the Black Boxes Avere hearsay, but they divulged a contract Avith Congressman Updike through Avhich he gave aAvay his powers of patronage for the dragon’s favor. They gave up a Tatter of thanks for a pearl necklace and letters Avhich indicated the close political intimacy Avith the mighty, Avhich was the bases of Stephenson’s OAvn charges that he had ruled by corruption. There may have been but hearsay, but the grand jury had no difficulty in indicting a Duvall, for whom Leslie helped to put over a laAv denying the people of Indianapolis the right to install a city manager form of government until the Duvall term ended. What really happened Avas that Leslie and others covered up Avhiie the statute of limitations kept on running and delayed the hour of redemption for the state. Those Avho Avant to realty clean up have a clear course. Those Avho want to cover up Avill vote for Coffin’s men, Leslie and the rest. Courts and the Constitution Can a state judge, acting on the application of a public prosecutor or a citizen, suppress a newspaper by injunction without violating constitutional guarantees of free speech? This is the interesting question that has arisen in Minneapolis, where a temporary injunction issued eleven months ago against a weekly publication, the Saturday Press, has been made permanent. It is a question the United States supreme court probably will be called upon to settle. Back in 1925 a state law was passed making it legal, among other things, for courts to enjoin newspapers which “regularly publish malicious, scandalous and defamatory matter.” The publication at which it was aimed expired, and the law was not invoked. The Saturday Press at the outset of its brief career began a vigorous attack on public officials and exposed what it claimed were corruption and protected gambling. One of the officials attacked was a county prosecutor and he initiated the successful injunction proceedings. The issue involved is not whether the Saturday Press printed the truth, or whether its attacks were warranted. It is whether enemies of a newspaper and the courts arbitrarily, and without recourse to a jury can wipe out the newspaper if its views do not happen to be pleasing. Attorneys for the Saturday Press contend, and with apparent reasonableness, that the law of criminal libel makes it possible to silence and imprison an editor if he slanders and defames public officers or anyone else, and that this law is adequate. In this process the right of jury trial is assured. Minnesota’s constitution, in fact, specifically guarantees the right of any person to write or publish his views on any subject, with the stipulation that the citizen “is responsible for the abuse of such right.” There has been a constantly growing complaint against the courts in recent years for the frequency with which they invoke the injunction. The injunction originally was conceived as an emergency instrument, to be used where irresponsible injury threatened, and where adequate remedy could not be immediately had at law. Labor unions, in particular, have suffered as the courts more and more have assumed the right lo exercise arbitrary authority. And extension of the use of the injunction intoi matters involving free speech, where there is such a great opportunity for abuse and difference of opinion, should be resisted.

I The Workers’ Party It Is not necessary to believe in the principles of the workers’ party to disprove of the action of the police in a number of communities in breaking up and forbidding meetings of the party. The American Civil Liberties union reports that election meetings either have been broken up or otherwise prevented by the police in Kansas, New Jersey, New York.rOhio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In Philadelphia repeated arrests have been made, and three speakers are still neld on a charge of “sedition.” Scott Nearing, for years a professor of economics at the University oi Pennsylvania, has been several times dragged from the platform and locked in a cell. In many instances permits for meetings have been refused by police, and in half a dozen states meetings have been broken up by police without ar-< rests. Such happenings are entirely out of place. It is the boast of those who believe in a republic as a form of government, that the citizens has his say through the vote. If he does not like one party he can go out and organize a party of his own ant' put his ticket on the ballot. This year the workers’ party will oe o nthe ballot in thirty-two states as against fourteen states four years ago. In three states efforts were made to exclude the party from the ballot and in Washington state the supreme court finally ruled that this could not be done. \ Unfortunately, in some places, the American Legion has taken part in the effort to prevent the workers’ party exercising political power. If happenings like these had been reported from Germany in 1916 or 1917 they would have been decried as examples of “Prussianism” and would have fed the flame of those who joined the crusade to make the world “safe for democracy.” Now ten years after the war has ended our land of the free sees such practices running riot. What the workers’ party members believe is not our concerh. They may believe in revolution. They may believe in communism. They may believe in sovietism. The point is they are expressing themselves through the peaceful methods of the ballot and that is what sane people want them to do. Their arguments are in that case addressed to the reason and can be met with other arguments. The one thing not to do Is to answer words with violence. That is tyranny. Also, it is bad tactics. Burlesque That Rebounds From Minnesota comes the word that burlesque speeches such as have been indulged in by Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, are making votes for Herbert Hoover. Says the St. Paul Daily News, independent newspaper: “Persons who enjoy the kind of stump speaking which relies almost entirely on a maximum of heavy ridicule and a minimum of facts undoubtedly found the southern senator’s wise-cracks diverting. “But .. . such broad statements that Herbert Hoover was responsible for the war wheat price ‘which broke every farmer in Minnesota,’ the attempt to ridicule the Republican nominee by references to his birthplace and his ‘residence abroad, the continual insinuation of British bias by the cheap ruse of constant repetition of 'doncher know’ and the effort to belittle the Great L.ikes-St. Lawrence project and Mr. Hoover’s sincerity in its advocacy, must have left a bad taste in the mouths of every partisan Democrat. ...” . The wave-length of a human being is 3.66 meters, according to C. R. Englund. We are grateful for the information; the way some people broadcast we had begun to think it was 1,000.

■ David Dietz qn Science —.— Ancestry of Microbes No. 187

SPALLANZANI believed that he had settled once for ail the fact that microbes had to have parents, that they could not rise spontaneously. But now, a generation later, the question was once more a battleground for scientists. Pasteur bad shown that it was yeast which caused fermentation and changed sugar into alcohol. Another sort of microscopic thing, the rod-like bacteria caused the formation of lactic acid, the acid of sour milk. Other forms of bacteria caused decomposition.

sealed into glass flasks. And so people began to say that the air produced these microbes and that experiments like those of old Spallanzani were to be explained upon the grounds that the heat killed the microbe-producing ability of the air. Pasteur puzzled over this problem, trying one experiment after another in a vain attempt to disprove this idea which he was positive was wrong. Then one day, another professor at the Ecole Normale came to see him. Balard was his name. Balard had been a druggist. Tinkering about in his little shop, he had discovered the chemical element bromine and as a reward had been made a professor at the Ecole Normale. Balard had an idea. He believed that the microbes were in the air and merely fell into things. So he suggested to Pasteur that he put a solution in a flask, boil it and then arrange a bent glass tube on the flask so that the air could get at it, but that so particles in the air could not fall into the flask. The accompanying illustration shows how Balard meant it to be done. Pasteur and his assistants set at work at once to try out the Idea. The flasks were prepared and put in the incubating oven. * Next morning, before breakfast, Pasteur had a way of forgetting trifles like breakfast when an experiment was under way, he was in the laboratory to examine the flasks. There were no bacteria to be found in any of the flasks. Pasteur had scored another victory, though to be sure this one perhaps belonged more to the genial and helpful Balard. But the battle was not yet over. The advocates of the theory of spontaneous generation, the theory that life arises out of the air, were not so easily silenced.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Edison Has Forced Millions to Change Their Habits and Customs Without Arousing Resentment”

CONGRESS hardly can be accused of undue haste in ordering a medal struck for Edison. ’ The public has felt he deserved one for forty years ajid more, but it takes time for politicians to recognize the merit y of an inventor. While the constitutional convention was deliberating at Philadelphia in 1787, John Fitch exhibited his steamboat. Only four of the fifty'’ or sixty delegates who Inspected her considered the event worth noting. John Fitch died of a broken heart because he could not get a hearing even among the great men of his day. Times have changed for the better, No inventor need go hungry these days if he has an idea which so much as resembles common sense. That, perhaps, is the greatest vindication of free government. u a Typify New Era Edison and men like him typify the dawn of anew era. They not only achieve success, but render service without quarreling or conflict. Their fame rests on something which Is beyond doubt, or debate. That is because their victories are over the common enemy of ignorance and for all mankind. Edison’s inventions are just as good in China as in this country. Indeed, China must adopt them if she would take her rightful place in the human parade. Such work as Edison and men of his type have done opens up anew and more promising vista for the future. For the first time, we mortals can visualize triumph, with-* out deefating and crushing other people. That is the one idea which justifies the hope of universal peace. 0 0 0 Revolution in Industry Edison made a reputation while he was young. He had scarcely turned 30 before his name became a household word, not only in this country, but throughout the civilized world. For half a century, he has been recognized as among the foremost men of his day and generation, universally loved and respected. Edison has forced tens of millions to change their customs and habits, without a scintilla of animosity on their part. He has killed off many trades and industries, but without inheriting one Jot of resentment. 000 Can’t Use Politicians - Out of freedom comes inventiveness, out of inventiveness comes trade, out of trade comes the idea that government is more an economic, than a political structure. China invites five Americans to help her with reconstruction. They are Henry Ford. Owen D. Young, two college professors and a banker. Not a politician on the list, you notice, not even a so-called statesman. When the reparations question became hopelessly snarled through diplomatic bungling, two Americans were called in to straighten it. One was a banker, while the other was that same Owen D. Young whom China wants, and who is credited with originating the plan which has been of such material benefit to Europe. Obviously anew idea is developing all along the line. More than one hundred of our cities have endorsed it by adopting the manager form of government, and all our cities, as well as some states, are borrowing methods and practices from commercial life. tt tt B Government Is Science Gradually we are coming to understand that government is a science, one that leans heavily on bookkeeping, special training and promotion through merit. That is anew theory, born of a new age—an age which, though rooted in politics, eventually will sidetrack old political doctrines and precedents to a large extent. In the beginning, when the allimportant object was to break down class rule, it was legitimate to preach and prove the virtue of electing men to office without qualification. The capacity of people to govern themselves could have been demonstrated in no other way. Now that popular government has been established beyond recall, its efficiency becomes the problem. tt tt tt Raft and Liner The one argument against Democracy worth repeating is that it is clumsy, costly and inefficient. One smart philosopher has likened democracy to a raft, which could always be depended on to float, even If those on it did constantly- suffer from wet feet and monarchy, to a splendid full-rigged ship, which, though sailing smoothly most of the time, would go all to smash when it struck anything. tt tt o Great Problem Faced The greatest problem we face in this country is how to square gov-ernment-federal, state and municipal—witn what we have learned, how to take advantage of those methods we have found so effective in the management of private enterprise, and how to get the benefit of expertness, special knowledge, and system, without risking the loss of popular control. Business has taught us much during the last half century. Before that, we had nothing to compare with the government even in its minor branches, but now there are several private institutions that outrank some states and a majority of cities in the amount of revenue they receive, and the number of people they employ. **■

Past eur was populating the world with microbes. It was impossible to set a glass or dish down, apparently, that some sort of bacteria didn’t collect in it. The only way one could get rid of these everpresent bacteria was by expert ments like those o f Spallanzani where liquids were boiled and

Regulate Body Heat to Prevent Cold

BY DR. MORRIS FISIIBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hyxeia, the Health Magazine. ABOUT this time of the year every one is having, has had, or probably will have a form of common cold. The subject disturbs medical scientists. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on research and vast sums are available to determine the cause and means of prevention of this common ailment. Yet the results of the investigations have not been striking, and a specific method of either prevention or cure does not appear to be near. The director of public health fothe Punjab in India, Dr. C. A. Gill, holds that the Incidence of the common cold definitely is related to the weather, which affects the balance between the likelihood of

If it be accepted that difficulties with heat regulation for the human body are fundamental to catching cold, the method of prevention obviously depends on some system of regulating the heat of the body and keeping it constant. The noted British physiologist, Hill, believes that cold weather brings about a large group of colds through people being more inclined to shut themselves up in warm, stuffy rooms and to open fewer windows. Associated with this is the difficulty in keeping the clothing of the body regulated to changes in the external temperature.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDWELL DENNY (Copyright Newspapers, WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—With the election only two weeks off, the candidates and prophets are swinging back to the first principle of this campaign, which is that Smith can not win without carrying the normally Republican states of the east coast. For A1 has not stampeded the west. Smith’s chance of making a clean sweep in those eastern doubtful states is represented by the national betting odds, which now stand 4 to 1 against him. Those -states are New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey. They total eighty-nine electoral votes, or about one-third of a national majority. The prime importance of that eastern territory is attested by the decision of both parties to concentrate forces there in the last fateful fortnight of the struggle. Tonight Hoover will deliver in New York City his most important speech of the campaign to his largest audience. Wednesday Smith begins in Boston the closing ten days, all of which he will devote to the eastern sector, finishing in New York. As A1 told his admirers in the middlewest last week, he is saving himself for “the battle of the Atlantic seaboard.” In that battle, Smith must depend largely upon his personal strength and upon issues which he has rehashed for the last month. Hoover Is better placed, not because he has surprise issues up his sleeve, but because he has fresh and powerful reserve in such “elder statesmen” as Root, Dawes and. Hughes. a a a Emergence of the east as the decisive battle-ground is not unexpected. Indeed it was upon this basis, and this alone, that Smith got the Democratic nomination. One of the queer paradoxes of party history is that the overwhelming dry, anti-Catholic, anti-Tammany convention at Houston almost without a struggle picked the wet, Catholic, Tammany Al. The paradox is explained by the knowledge of those southern politicians against Al that the Democrats could not win without carrying New York and other eastern states. Al was chosen because he was the only Democrat with even a chance of doing that. And now Al must make good on the tacit understanding with which he was given and received the nom-ination-carry the east. If the election were tomorrow he could not do it. At the moment, most non-partisan reports agree that he has only an even chance In New York ancf Massachusetts, and less than even chance in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. Probably after a fortnight’s intensive and hard-hitting campaigning, Al’s position will be improved. Let us say he wins New York and Massachusetts, witn their sixty-three electoral votes, largely because of Catholic and wet ballots. That isn’t enough. a a a TAKE New Jersey, which he can hardly afford to lose. There Is a mounting Hoover trend In that state. Turning to the west, there are plenty of signs that the Democrats are disappointed with the results of Smith’s two tours. They now are. driven to the last minute expedient of spending from $300,000 to $400,000 in the grain belt, in the hope of picking up two or three states. Os course, they have no choice. For Smith, even if he holds Vie, solid south and carries practically all the eastern doubtful states, would still need such doubtful states as Wisconsin and Missouri. In the last week the Republican position has much improved in the three hitherto doubtful states of Oklahoma, Minnesota and North Dakota, which total twenty-seven electoral votes. Smith gains in Missouri, Wisconsin and Montana, with a total of thirty-five, are offset, by Hoover gains in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado and New Mexico, with a total of thirty-two electoral votes. While it is fairly certain that Smith can not cut into western Republican strength in dangerous fashion as the situation now stands, it is also true that Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska may declare for Al between now and election. If that happens, it is possible that this progressive Republican leader might swing Nebraska, Minnesota and North Dakota to Al. That would give Al the necessary leeway in his eastern fight, the lack of which now is his most serious handicap.
