The Black Box Boys In cleaning up the state, and it needs cleaning despite the insolent statement of Senator Watson, who says that five indictments do not mean anything, the people should remember the boys of the Black Boxes. If there is one man whom Herbert Hoover does not need to support any program of decency he may have in mind it is Senator Arthur Robinson. Unless, of course, exception should be made of Ralph Updike, whose written contract with Stephenson, done in his own handwriting, came from the t Black Boxes of Stephenson. Robinson drew upon himself the scorn of his own colleagues, when, in a scene that is historic, even Republican members chanted his dirge “birds of a feather flock together,'’ after an asinine speech which he had delivered. The close intimacy between Robinson and the Stephenson regime is so well known that it does not need a letter of thanks for a pearl necklace to prove the close friendship between Robinson and the dragon. The even closer intimacy with George Coffin should damn him in the public mind and it will not be forgotten he is the heir to Jackson, who pleaded the statute of limitations. The plea that Hoover needs Robinson and Updike to support him is a libel on Hoover. That distinguished candidate has nothing in common, morally or mentally, with these products of hooded hate. It is inconceivable that Republican voters, either through fear or carelecsness, will permit their devotion to Hoover to send back Robinson and Updike.

Interstate Commerce? By withholding information and documents from the federal trade commission, the Electric Bond and Share Company of New York City is seeking, among other things, a decision from the federal courts as to whether the company is engaged in interstate commerce. One reason advanced for resisting the jurisdiction of the commission is the argument that the activities of the corporation do not come under the definition of interstate commerce. Here is a subject in which the people as well as the United States senate are interested mightily. The senate has asked the federal trade commission to report on “the growth of capital assets and capital liabilities of public utility corporations doing an interstate or international business supplying either electrical energy in the form of power or light or both, however produced, or gas, natural or artificial, of corporations holding the stocks of two or more public utility corporations operating in different states, and of nonpublic utility corporations owned or controlled by such holdings companies.” Documents obtained from the Electric Bond and Share Company by examiners for the commission and entered as exhibits in the hearings indicate the extensive connections of this master holding organization with public utilities at home and abroad. Relations with utilities abroad are revealed in the admission of the company itself that through the medium of the South American Power Company, subsidiary to the American and Foreign Power Company, which Is In turn “associated” with the Electric £ond and Share Company, the later is interested in hydro-electric and other public service properties in Brazil, Colombia, France, Japan and other nations. So far as the domestic situation is concerned, the oompany, in presenting its offer of services to the prospective customers, declares that the group of public utilities with which it is associated has a total invested capital of $650,000,000, serving 7,200,000 people. The roster of companies affiliated with the Electric Bond and Share includes utilities in every section of the United States. Moreover, examination of the official connections of executives of the giant New York concern shows that many of them are officers or directors or both in a host of allied organizations. One Electric Bond and Share vice-president holds a similar office In forty-one other concerns, another is secretary of eighteen, another is treasurer of fourteen, another is director in twenty-six. Assuredly, the United States Senate, apprehensive of the growth of the power industry and the accumulating evidence that it is controlled by a small group, is entitled to know all about its origin, control and conduct, to determine the “value or detriment to the public of such holding companies” and what legislation should be enacted to correct any abuses that may exist in their organization or operation. The Man’s the Thing "In the handling of our foreign affairs,” said Governor Smith in his Baltimore speech, “it is largely the personal equation.” We long ago reached this same conclusion. Fundamentally, the foreign policies of the two major parties are very similar, everything depending upon how the man elected will interpret his party pledges. 1 For ihstance, Governor Smith and Herbert Hoover agree on war outlawry, arbitration, and conciliation. Co-operation with the rest of the world to promote international peace, fair play for Latin America, noninterference in the purely domestic affairs of other nations, maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, and protection of American lives and property abroad. But until the occasion itself arises, how are the people of this country to know how Smith or Hoover will Interpret this common policy? Suppose the marines were out of Nicaragua and an armed outbreak followed, endangering American lumber, fruit, and other interests down there, along with American lives. If Smith were President, what would he do? One side would call the outbreak a revolution. The other side would call it banditry. Some would say the disturbance, whatever its nature, was purely a domestic affair, others would call it a menace to American lives and property, warranting intervention. What would Smith do? What would Hoover do? Smith might sincerely believe it a case calling for “protection of American Jives and property.” Hoover might just as sincerely believe the revolt Nicaragua’s private business. Or vice versa. At this distance nobody can tell which would do which, and so it is futile to say now what either candidate would do. "It is largely personal equation” that counts, just as

Smith says. Not even the party records offer us any guaranty. Both have intervened in Latin America. Everything depends upon how the man Smith, or the man Hoover, looks at it, once he becomes President of the United States. We must accept either on faith in the man himself. Cutting Out the Bunk Os all devices for cutting the bunk out of campaign meetings, the radio is by far the most effective. Before it entered politics, campaign meetings were simply awful. The chairman of the committee would call the meeting to order and shoot off his mouth with a few, and often many, unnecessary remarks introducing the chairman of the evening. Then this local spellbinder would make more unnecessary remarks, and finally introduce the speaker the folks had come to hear. In the meantime, to open up the ceremonies and fill in between speeches, a local glee club would sing awfully some awful political songs. But that won’t do on the radio. Time costs money. So the preliminaries are cut down, the local vociferators have to cut their gab short, and the terrible glee club singers of terrible campaign songs pass clear out of the picture. Except for the purpose of letting the folks get a look at 1 e candidate, there is no purpose at all in campaign meetings. The real audience, that Is far too big for any hall or stadium in the country, can sit at home and listen in, with pipe, cigar, cigaret or what have you quite handy. In fact, he can have all the comforts of home and none of the discomforts of a crowded auditorium. But, best of all, he can escape the ponderous bellowings of a town chairman of the evening. In due time candidates will go to a broadcasting studio, be comfortable themselves, and say their say and go home or to the hotel to bed. Monkeys and Politics In a campaign abounding in unusual situations, perhaps the strangest is that in Arkansas. The question of whether the state shall prohibit the teaching of evolution by statute, to be voted on in a referendum is reported as transcending in interest the presidential election itself. An atheist advocate was sentenced to jail on the theory that he had distributed literature calculated to incite to riot. He went on a hunger strike, and after serving thirteen days of his twenty-five-day term was sent to a hospital. The jailer refused to take him back. Mrs. Haldeman-Julius was arrested when she carried a banner protesting the arrest, but was released in a short while. Thus the battle of the fundamentalists goes on. Arkansas can no more prevent the spread of knowledge by statute than Canute could dam the sea. But think of the opportunity it has given Arkansans for argument and excitement, which is what makes a political campaign so much fun. And when all is said and done, the monkey question in Arkansas is probably just about as mportant as some of the issues the partisan campaign orators have succeeded in getting us excited about, and will affect human destiny probably just about as much. An editorial in the Liverpool Post says Americans are a people disposed to think in large terms. If you want corroboration just go look into the windows of any fur store. A man 72 has entered the freshman class at the University of Chicago. These wild lads must have their fling.

David Dietz on Science —_____ Revolution in Surgery No, 195 PASTEUR loved battles, arguments and public acclaim. He was not the type to hide away in an attic laboratory. He had been quite content to work in a dusty laboratory under the roof of the Ecole Normale when no better quarters offered themselves. But once he had achieved results he wanted the whole world to know about them. In many ways this was a good thing. It stirred the imaginations of people. It turned public interest

Lister, revolutionized surgery by applying Pasteur’s ideas to the practice of surgery. Joseph Lister was bern in Upton, Essex, England, on April 5, 1827. He was the son of Joseph Jackson Lister, who had made a reputation in the fields of optics for the improvements which he introduced into the compound miscroscope. The elder Lister had improved vastly the usefulness of the microscope by removing many of the causes of distortion. Until his time the compound microscope had distorted the image almost as much as it magnified. Joseph Lister was educated at Quaker schools and in 1844 entered University college, London. He received his B. A. degree in 1847. He entered the study of medicine, receiving his M. B. and F. R. C. S. in 1862. He became house surgeon at the University college hospital. While at this hospital he witnessed a terrific outbreak of what was then called hospital gangrene. He saw patient after patient attacked by gangrene. He also noted what was one of the baffling problems of the day. When a patient had a fractured arm or leg and the fracture was a simple one, the outer skin being unbroken, the patient invariably got well rather quickly. But in the cases of compound fractures, where the skin was broken and there was an open wound, all sorts of difficulties set in. Blood poisoning, gangrene and all sorts of infections were almost the common history of cases. From London Lister went to Edinburg, rising from the position of house surgeon to that of professor of clinical surgery at the University of Edinburgh. At Edinburgh Lister began to turn his attention to the difficulties of surgical practice. Why did hospital gangrene and other infections break out? Why were compound fractures followed by infections so often? Lister began to seek the answer to these questions. As we shall see, he solved the problems by applying Pasteur’s work to surgery.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “The Trip of the Zeppelin Hardly Would Have Been Complete if Clarence Terhune Had Not Crashed the Gate and Tucked Himself Away in the Mail Room.”

LIFU is interesting to most people because of the thrills they Imagine it contains. Some seek those thrills In success, some are content to get them second-hand at the theaters or in books, some seek them in travel and some take the crime road. The reason that some take the crime road is because they have closed their minds to the opportunities and romance of the present day world, because they are obsessed with the idea that the more we know the less room there is for adventure. It is a common thought, but very childish, which pictures an explored world as cramping the pioneer. Even though one no longer can be a Daniel Boone in Kentucky or a Henry M. Stanley in Africa, there is a better chance than there ever was for youth to capitalize its ingenuity and grit. The horizon has expanded, to be sure, but that means only one thing. Being a bigger horizon, there Is more beyond it. tt tt a Beyond the Beyond Speaking of horizons, a 200-inc!> telescope will be erected at Pasadena, Cal. This is not only the largest telescope ever proposed bu’ twice as large as any now in existence. With it,*we are informed, astronomers may be able to count as many as 500,000,000 additional stars. When a 400-inch telescope is erected, they will probably be able to count 500,000,000 more. It used to be thought that we some day would find the end of space, that beyond that we call our universe, there was a blank. Such a theory has become obsolete. The farther we penetrate, the more we see. All existence seems to be the same. The more we learn, the more we achieve, the larger prospects we face.

tt tt m Story of Anastasia Even when measured by age-old standards and confined to age-old emotions, lile holds about as much romance as it ever did. Where in the pages of history can one find a more curious or more sensational experience than that of the young woman who claims to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia and who is about to bring suit for the fortune of the late Czar Nicholas? True or false, here is a tale that outranks the most preposterous fiction. If Anastasia is not Anastasia, we have an imposture that puts Perkin Warbec and the Tichborne case to shame. If she is Anastasia, we have an escape more remarkable than that of Louis XVII. This young woman not only was marked for death with her father, mother and the rest of the royal family at Ekaterenburg, but was left for dead with them. Thanks to the miscarriage of a bullet, she survived the firing squad, was saved by an ex-soldier whom she afterward married, only to become a widow a short while afterward; wandered to Berlin, where she was fished out of a canal after trying to commit suicide, to be identified by uncles, cousins and other relatives as she recovered in a hospital. Now she is in America, where so many refugees have found a chance to breathe in safety and to recover their lost rights. tt tt tt School of Adventure The trip of the Graf Zeppelin hardly would have been complete if Clarence Terhune had not crashed the gate and tucked himself away in the mail room. Now he is peeling potatoes, but still happy. He has done something yiat most people thought could not be done, or that they lacked the courage to try even if they did think it could. If he lives to have grandchildren, he will tell them the story with glee, and they will enjoy it quite as much as he does. Some writers describe Clarence as a vagabond, but that remains to be proven. He may turn out to be just another wanderer. Then again he may use the knowledge he is acquiring and the originality he is developing to better purpose. Whatever else Clarence may be doing, he is getting a lot of information. No boy can hitch-hike all over the United States, beat his way to Alaska on a government cruiser, and outwit such array of guards as surrounded the Graf Zeppelin without developing brains and courage. It may be a different sort of a career than most mothers would choose for their sons, but it is not an unmixed evil. Clarence Terhune probably has learned as much during his nineteen restless years as he would have in school. His future depends on the use he makes of it. n a a Tab Kept on Zep Another sidelight 'on the Graf Zeppelin’s visit to America is revealed by the way our naval radiocompass stations have employed her going and coming. By picking up her signals and comparing the results they are able to determine her exact position every time she sends a message. Though this may sound complicated, it is simple. The radio-compass station consists of a receiving set operatd on a loop. When a message comes in the operator turns the loop until it grows dead. When dead the loop is broadside to the source of the message, and a line drawn perpendicularly to it would pass througl that source. Taking the parpen dicular lines so drawn from any twe radio-compass stations widely sepa ratd, it is possible to compute th exact location of the message by triangulation.

The notion is comparable to the symbolic belief that smallpox could be conquered by putting velvet hangings on the windows.

definitely that the catching of a cold depends on con tact with persons who have colds and that the Eskimo by the the nature of his living has not built up any special resistance. Among the Polar Eskimos not a single case of infection of the breathing tract had appeared until the arrival of the expedition which had among its members a few with colds. Within seventy-two hours after the arrival of the expedition nearly every Eskimo in the settlement had a cold. The most important fact observed was that the Eskimo does not develop resistance to colds, since the condition disappears after a period but reappears promptly Just as soon

WHENEVER the wind blows from the direction of crime, we believe the indeterminate sentence law is an enemy of law and order. For instance, a gentleman at Muncie, holding public office, steals more than $150,000, pleads guilty, and gets the same sentence he would have got had he stolen a second-hand flivver. In two years he will be eligible for clemency and doubtless will get out, the moral being—ls you want to “get rich quick,” steal a lot in a state that has an indeterminate sentence lawl tt o o For the rest of his campaign, Smith should ask his audience to refrain from hissing and groaning when he mentions the names of prominent Republicans, for the effect of broadcasting such asininity is decidedly detrimental to the cause of Mr. Smith. tt tt tt The death of these six California people, caused by their car’s plunging over a cliff when the driver was blinded by the lights of an approaching machine, calls attention to the almost universal violation of the dimming law.

The Solution

HERE wc have an unblocking play, without which a correct: solution is impossible. South leads the four of diamonds. West wins with the ten and North plays the eight. West next leads his spades, North discarding a club and South winning the trick, with the queen. South now leads his queen of clubs, which North wins with the ace, no matter what West plays. North then leads his six of diamonds, allowing South to finesse through East. Os course, if West leads a club instead of a spade at the second tries North plays his ace and then finesses his diamond, South taking his spade trick at the end. But the main point Is that North play his eight instead of his six of diamonds ori the opening trick—although if East instead of West wins the trick, the diamond finesse becomes unnecessary.

as anew expedition arrives at the settlements. Persons with colds who carry the germs bring them into the camps, where they spread rapidly to those who come in contact with the carriers. It was the opinion of the investigators, in fact, that the Eskimo apparently has an increased susceptibility to infections of the breathing tract which resembles that of all primitive groups when new infections are brought among them. When measles first was introduced by white man in the Faroe islands the epidemic was terrific and killed hundreds of persons. When tuberculosis was first Introduced to the American Indian, thousands died of the disease before some immunity developed.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS

BY LUDYVELL DENNY (Copyright, Scrlpps-Howard Newspaper#, 1928) TIfASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—That ’ * lucky prosperity wind, which seems to be blowing Herbert Hoover toward the White House, la holding out. This explains, as much as anything, the last minute serenity of G. O. P. campaign managers. Smith outwardly has been getting the “breaks” during the last two crucial campaign week.? —with blunders by Republican Chairman Work, the bolt of the western pro-, gressive Republican leader, Senator Norris, and the enthusiastic Democratic demonstrations in New England. But the truth seems to be that this apparent luck is really the result of astute planning and hard work by Al. In contrast, Hoover is more or less sitting around doing nothing, with the idea that Smith may get the applause, but a majority of voters are not apt to change parties so long as “Republican prosperity” continues. When the presidential race started that “Republican prosperity” was not much to brag about, G. O. P. attempts to laugh off the unemployment situation were none too hilarious or convincing. Smith was all prepared to make “hard times” a major issue. Unemployment reached a total of between four and five million in the early spring, despite alleged erroneous figures given out by Republican Secretary of Labor Davis, the Democrats charged. JUST when the Republicans were beginning to get worried; business started to pick up. And month by month, through the campaign, the improvement has continued. To be sure, the Republicans have helped it along a bit by what the Democrats call propaganda. But in the main it seems to be one of those “lucky breaks” which so often determine national elections. Some persons are certain there will be a slump after election, but that will not help Al then. Business pessimists point to a report issued today by the federal reserve board on wholesale distribution stating: “When allowance is made for the, seasonal increase usual in this month (September), wholesale sales in nine lines reporting to the federal reserve system, show a decline Os 4 per cent from August. In comparison with the same month a year ago, the volume of wholesale distribution in September was slightly smaller. “Seven of the nine lines reported decreases in sales, varying from less than 2 per cent in the case of groceries to about 14 per cent in the case of shoes. . . . Six of the nine lines of trade showed decreases during the first nine months of this year as compared with the same period in 1927.” ALTHOUGH that discouraging straw may, or may not, be significant for the future, practically all official and unofficial surveys of the general business situation indicate present prosperity. Typical of monthly report from reserve bank there is the federal reserve board members, issued yesterday. It stated: “Industrial production increased further in September, and the output of manufacturers was in larger volume than in any previous month. Factory employment and pay rolls also increased. “Production of iron and steel and of automobiles was unusually large during September and October, although there recently has been some curtailment of operations in these industries.” Production increases also were reported in the textile, meat-pack-ing and tire industries, and in the output of copper, petroleum and coal. Building contracts, after declining for three months, increased sharply during September to a level exceed* ing all previous records for thi month.

months had this to say, among other things, at the Cadle tabernacle a few nights ago: “The road to the White House must not be strewn with champagne bottles or whisky cocktails.” Now isn’t that naive, if not Ingenuous? He then goes on to tell his audience that since the advent of prohibition the death rate among infants has decreased very perceptibly. I can not see what connection there can be between prohibition and a lowered mortality among babies, unless the reverend speaker meant to imply that In pre-prohibi-tion times parents fed their children liquor and now do not feed them bootleg poison and of course they have a better chance for life. He failed, though, to tell his auditors how many adults have died as a direct result of his pet scheme, prohibition. He also took a fling at Al Smith and cited New York as the worst cesspool of iniquity anywhere. Let me say that if the Democratic candidate is elected perhaps the country will go wet, but if the other candidate gets the place the country will remain wet. P. H. TRAVERS. 546 East Ohio street.
