The Record of Robert W. Stewart Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, has been acquitted by a District of Columbia jury on a charge of having perjured himself before the public lands committee of the senate. The verdict is not surprising, for the government has been uniformly unsuccessful in its criminal prosecutions of those involved in the oil scandals. The government was unable to convince the jury that Stewart told the committee he knew nothing of the distribution of profits of the Continental Trading Company in the form of Liberty bonds, when at the time he had in his possession a large block of the bonds, a fact he later admitted before the committee. The question of whether the committee was a competent tribunal, since less than a quorum was present when Stewart testified, presumably was an important factor in the verdict. ' Stewart goes free. He previously had been acquitted of contempt of the senate. However, his record of participation in the formation of the Continental Trading Company has not been erased. He was one of four men who organized this mysterious corporation, which had an overnight profit of some $3,000,000. Another of the four was Harry F. Sinclair, part of whose Continental Liberty bonds were traced to Albert B. Fall, who was secretary of the interior. The government accused Sinclair of having used the bonds to bribe Fall to give him the lease to the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. A third participant was H. M. Blackmer, fugitive In Europe from the Teapot Dome witness stand and from government charges of having made false income tax returns. A fourth was James E. O’Neill, who also fled the country. Nor does Stewart’s acquittal alter the fact that he purposely withheld from the senate information of the greatest important in that body’s investigation of the looting of the naval oil reserves. He remained silent, or defiant, when he might have performed a public service. Stewart’s record was such that John D. Rockefeller Jr. publicly demanded his resignation from the Standard many months ago. That record has not been altered by court proceedings. ! Remember the Vestris! The temptation of the public is to get wildly excited about the Vestris disaster—and a week later forget all about it. Human reaction to such a horror is to seek a scapegoat, and let it go at that. We owe more than this to the Vestris victims. We owe more than this to the crews and passengers of other ships. We must make repetition of this disaster impossible. The situation does not call for fatalism. Se hazards can be reduced. Modem science successfully attacks other problems of disease, accident, and sudden death. It tames other elements. It can conquer the sea. The first problem here is a matter of science and invention. The second is a matter of laws and regulations. The third is the problem of enforcement, that the purpose of safety inventions and laws shall not be destroyed by carelessness of crews nor by the owners’ itch for greater profits. Elsewhere in this newspaper today Charles Johnson Post begins a series of articles on the basic causes of the Vestris tragedy. Mr. Post, former adviser to the United States shipping board, is a well-known investigator, author and marine expert. He writes with authority. His charges are serious. They can not be ignored. ‘‘There has not been a major disaster at sea in the last fifty years that was not due' to the rapacity and greed of the ship owners ” This, according to Mr. Post, is the judgment of many responsible ship masters. “The plain fact is that there was not the slightest excuse from an engineering point of view for the Vestris sinking at all had she been constructed properly in the light of modern safe principles, or had she been reconditioned in accordance therewith.” he says. If that is true, national laws and international regulations are criminally inadequate. If that is true, Is does more than shift the major blame from Captain Carey and his crew to the Vestris owners. If that is true, it impeaches the whole system for which the regulating governments must share responsibility. Emotional outbursts, tears for the victims, cheap curses for Carey who went down with his ship, can’t help now. Public reason and tenacity are needed to force better safeguards for the future. The Country “Saved” Again The so-called communist demonstration at Palo Alto when Herbert Hoover was leaving to begin his South American journey turns out to have been a harmless protest Dy three college students against what they regarded as imperialistic policies. The youths carried Danners reading “Down with American imperialism,” “Not a man, not a cent, not a gun for imperialistic wars,” and “For the party of class struggle; for recognition and defense of the Soviet union.” There was no disturbance, and Hoover himself apparently did not even see the banners. Yet this did not keep Palo Alto police from arresting the students, and .hustling them off to jail, where they were put under SIOO bonds on a charge of having disturbed the peace, pending trial Friday. When Hoover was apprised of what had happened, he wired the mayor of Palo Alto he believed the incident was nothing more than "a “foolish college boy prank” which “should not be taken seriously.” Doubtless the authorities will follow Hoover’s suggestion and drop prosecution. There remains, however, the interesting revelation of California police methods and psychology. As long as the protestors were orderly, they were clearly within their rights as citizens. The right to display banners like those shown is the same right as free speech and peaceable assemblage, supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution. The incident is illustrative of the widespread hysteria on the subject of communism and radicalism, which seems to extend from Washington down to the least important peace officer. Police take it upon themselves to trample the constitutional rights of citizens whenever they have the slightest suspicion those citizens have radical

Frequently those who are not wholly satisfied with the existing order, and have the temerity to say so, are labelled ‘reds” and therefore draw down police wrath and vengeance. The fear that America will become communistic is an absurd bugaboo. If the danger were real, rather than Imaginary, it would be increased rather than diminished by the high-handed tactics of the super-patriots ftnd the authorities. Arkansas Do Move Arkansas on November 6 voted that the theory of evolution shall not be taught in the public schools. We predict, in consequence, a faster development of rfeal education in Arkansas during the next few years—for as long as that remains the state law, in fact—than will be witnessed in any other commonwealth. All the years that educators have been expounding the Darwinian theory they have succeeded in making it really interesting to only a small minority of students. For one pupil who found this branch of science fascinating, a dozen found It dull. It had to be forced into their unwilling minds. Now it will be different. Evolution becomes the forbidden fruit and therefore tempting. What is this thing they don’t want us to know? That will be the attitude of the school boy and girl. The daring one6 will demand to be told; the others will seek information secretly. Just as prohibition of liquor has increased its use among your g people, so will prohibition of learning increase the desire for it in young minds. Curiosity has been stimulated greatly—curiosity, the priceless thing that educators know to be at the bottom of all education. The curiosity of young people Is hard to circumvent. All the federal, state, town and township police haven’t been‘able to circumvent their curiosity concerning liquor. All the teachers—unwillli g policemen In this case—won’t be able to keep the children from studying the theory of evolution Onoe the small boy did Deadvood Dick behind his geography.

David Dietz on Science ■ The Genius of Edison No. 213
THOMAS A. EDISON, America’s great inventor, recently honored with a gold medal by the United States government, was, born in Ohio at Milan, on Feb. 11, 1847. The family moved to Port Huron, Mich.. however, when he was 7 years old. Edison bean his scientific career at the age of 10, when he started a chemical laboratory in the cellar of
mary battery and the Edison dictating machine. At 15 Edison bfegan to print a little weekly newspaper, “The Weekly Herald,” on the train on which he sold papers and candy. This was the first time that a newspaper ever was printed on a moving train. That same year. 1862. Edison saved from death the young son of J U. Mackenzie, station agent at Mt. Clemens, Mich. Mackensie, in gratitude, undertook to teach Edison telegraphy. This was the turning point in Edison’s career, starting him on the path which finally earned him the title of the world’s greatest inventor. Edison put up,a short telegraph line from the Port Huron railway to the village. In 1863 he obtained his first regular position as a telegraph operator on the Grand Trunk railway, being assigned to the station at Stratford Junction, Canada. During the next five years he worked in many stations as a telegraph operator. His inventive genius was beginning to assert itself and during these five years he carried on many experiments and made many improvements in the telegraph apparatus then in use. In 1868 he became a Western Union operator at Boston, but later resigned to devote himself to experimentation with new telegraph systems. He also went into the private telegraph line business. That year he also obtained his first patent. It was on an electric vote recording machine. The date of the patent was Oct. 11, 1868.'
M. E. TRACY SAYS: “One English Journal Declares ‘Talk of the Unthinkableness of AngloAmerican Conflict Hardly Fits the Facts' . ... Is This Just Twaddle?”
BRITISH newspapers—some of them at least—are quite busy rediscovering America for the benefit of their readere. We are a terrible lot, to let them tell it, especially when It comes to making Armistice day speeches, probing shipwrecks and searching for smuggled goods. President Coolidge has given the world “a characteristically • obnoxious example of talking big.” The Vestris inquiry now being conducted by United States Attorney Charles Tuttle is a farce. Tuttle says “foist” for “first,” according to one correspondent, and that “confuses men who recently have gone through harrowing experiences.” ’ Our custom officials are crude and discourteous. They not only poke about every nook and comer of ships, but search the clothing of officers and men. One great Journal summarizes the situation by declaring that “talk of the unthinkableness of Anglo-American conflict now, or In the distant future, hardly fits the facts.” Is It Twaddle? Is this part of a campaign to make votes for Baldwin, or just ordinary twaddle? Our newspapers may be fond of stunts, sensation and scandal, as som,e of the British correspondents declare, but even so. It appears as If they could learn something from British journalism. , Our custom inspectors may be too officious at times, but their prying is not always-profitless. At the very moment British newspapers were denouncing them for the edification of a gullible public, they were unearthing SIOO,OOO worth of diamonds in the stateroom of a psalm-singing steward of a British ship. # a a Cheating in a Big Way It is hoped that the arrest of this psalm-singing steward may lead to the round-up of a smuggling gang which Is said to have cheated the United States out of eight or ten millions dollars a year for several years. According to experts in the treasury department, forty or fifty million dollars worth of diamonds have been coming into the United States annually without paying the duty. The duty on cut. but unset diamonds is 20 per cent. The smugglers undertake to deliver them for 8 per cent; that saves the purchaser 12 per cent. Twelve per cent of $1,000,000 is $120,000. A good many dealers handle $1,000,000 worth of diamonds annually. HUB Graft in Hey-Day There will always be violation of the law, but particularly when it pays. The number of our laws which tax or prohibit trade is increasing. This furnishes an added temptation for the criminal-minded. The smuggler never' faced such profitable opportunities before. Neither did the bootlegger. Rum, jewelry, drugs and gambling have combined to furnish crime with a cash till. This more than anything else, explains the rising tide of lawlessness. There is graft in the game of fighting authority these days—graft to corrupt the police force, graft to get on the good side of unscrupulous politicians, graft to hire shyster lawyers, graft to tamper with juries, graft to provide propaganda. * tt Where Do We Go? Many a thief, thug and murderer are walking the streets of this country today who would be in Jail, except for the kindly offices of the bootlegging fraternity. The iljjcit traffic in booze has become a veritable smoke screen for gang rule, robbery, corrupt politics and other vicious practices. The “honest graft” that originates in the speakeasy soon finds a wider field. Solicitude for the bootlegger, at a price, soon discovers it cannot fnuction effectively without protecting the bootlegger’s allies. Those officials who start out with no worse intention that to safeguard a stimulating channel for the thirsty soon learn that the job calls upon them to shield the yegg and gunman. In setting the stage for an illicit pint of hootch to find its way safely to market, we have also set it for the assassin’s bullets and the thief’s nimble fingers. The question is where do we go from here? U B tt , Entente of Evil Who supposes that a man like A1 “Scarface” Capone' could acquire the power he did in Chicago, without the beer trade? Who supposes that the murderer of Frankie Yale could not, and would not have oeen discovered, except for the barricades a criminal fraternity was able to throw up through its alliance with crooked politics? Who supposes that the Rothstein case is made mysterious, if not impossible of solution, save by an entente which includes a lot of people who would give their eye-teeth rather than be identified with it? Here is a gambler, murdered more than two weeks ago, and here is the greatest police force in the world apparently stumped. What is the answer? The Ne\y York police find little difficulty or compunction in arresting kids for shooting craps. They even rose to the point of lugging some women downstairs last week when the latter refused to walk after being caught in a bridge game. But this outfit that plays to the tune of a quarter of a million and more, and the details of whose operations have been broadcast, still struts its untrammelled freedom. 1

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor Journal ol too American Medical Association and of Hyxeia, the Health Magazine. ONE of the most remarkable manifestations of modern medical science has been the discovery that human beings may be especially sensitive to certain substances In their diet or in their environment and react by development of severe symptoms, including eruption, high fever, asthmatic attacks, and not infrequently complete prostration. By means of skin tests with extracts of the suspected substances It Is posible U< show the nature of the things to which the person may be sensitive. Among the leading causes of such sensitization specialists have found women who react with these symptoms in the presence of dandruff from leopard skin or other furs; some people are sensitive to glue, to feathers, to various types of dust, to pollens, to strawberries, indeed to almost every type of plant or animal product.. Scientific detective work is necessary to determine the causative factors In some cases. A baby girl six weeks of age had suffered from an usual form of swelling. The baby had received nothing but its mother's milk and had gained weight steadily until it was 21 days old.

At that time its left leg was found to be swollen and the child was fretful. The swelling lasted five days and involved later the face and right arm, as well as the right side of the patient. For three weeks the swelling came and went in various portions of the body while the physician studied the ease. It was decided to examine the mother’s diet. The family lived in the mountains of West Virginia. The mother had not eaten any green vegetables since the Infant's birth, and she had not had any beef steak, liver or red meaats. She had subsisted principally on pork and bacon, supplemented rarely with chicken, and the main source of her diet had been cornbread and dried white navy beans. Occasionally she had had potato, onion or canned corn. Skin tests were made on the infant with the mother's milk and when the milk of three other mothers. It was found that the infant reacted promptly with swelling following injection of an extract of its mother's milk, but did not react to the milk of the other mothers. Tests were also made with extracts of food taken by the mother. The infant did not react to cow’s milk, egg, beef, potatoes or cereals, but did react promptly to extracts of navy beans.

from which beans and corn were eliminated, and the infant was given a preparation which aids in the control of this condition of sensitization. Within thirty-six hours the swelling disappeared and new ones did not develop. When, however, the preparation was discontinued, the swellings appeared again, so that this was kept up with gradually lengthening of intervals between doses until after five and one-half months, when the infant was able to get along entirely without the drug. It was discovered later that the mother had occasionally Included oeans and corn in her diet, although asked not to do so by the physician. and that the swellings had invariably followed the taking of such food. When the infant was 2 years of age it was again given as an experiment some white navy beans. Within four hours tremendous blisters appeared over the body as proof of the act that it had a specific sensitivity to this substance. strangely enough string beans did not cause the symptoms in this ihild, which would indicate that there is some protein in the white navy bean that is not present in the string beans. The case is an indication of the importance of considering each human being as an individual.

But no matter what East now leads, North and South will win the rest of the tricks, North’s two diamonds being established, with a sure re-entry in clubs. If East refuses to cover North’s club lead at the second trick, North then switches to diamonds, leading the jack or the nine, which East wins with the queen. But once more North’s diamonds are established, as well as a re-entry in clubs. It is interesting to note that if North plays low on the opening lead of the king of diamonds, or if North continues with clubs provided the first lead of clubs has not been covered, North and South can win only five of the eight tricks.

KEEPING UP With THE NEWS
BY LUDWELL DENNY (Copyright. Scrlpps-Howard Newspapers, 19281 WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Hoover’s first stop at Nicaragua will be the most difficult of his entire Latin-American tour. Nicaraguan relations have caused President Coolidge more trouble than any other problem of foreign policy, and now present a dangerous inheritance for the next administration. Congressional and public opposition to American intervention until recently has been restrained somewhat by the attitude, “we should not have gone in, but now that we xre in we must stay and make the best of a bad matter.” That was the feeling up to the Nicaraguan national election, which United States marines supervised a fortnight ago. Now that the Nicaraguan election is over, however, the old criticism here of alleged Yankee Imperialism is beginning again. There are demands for withdrawal of the marines. Here, then, are some of the acute questions for which Hoover will try to find answers when he lands at Corinto and proceeds to Managua, the capital: 1. Shall the United States marines, who went in to “protect American rights” during a revolution and stayed to guarantee a fair election, be withdrawn, now that the revolution is over and the election past? 2. Shall the United States extend Its fiscal control over that country by enlarging the powers of the collector-general and o|rher American officials there? 3. Shall the United approve the proposed $30,000,000 Wall Street loan, which in effect would constitute an almost perpetual American mortgage on that country? 4. Shall the United State approve the proposed resale of majority stock in the Nicaraguan National bank to American bankers? 5. Shall the United States go forward yith its plans for *an interoceanic Nicaraguan canal under its exclusive treaty rights acquired during the Wilson administration? 6. Shall the United States, in event of constructing such a canal, attempt to obtain over Nicaragua the virtual protectorate powers now held over Panama, despite Panaman refusal to ratify the pending treaty? 7. Shall the United States continue to Insist on Nicaraguan disarmament and on control of the remaining National Guard by. American officers? a e a THE state department, withou 1 committing itself to future po licy. Tuesday made public the report of its special commissioner, W. W Cumberland. He recommended In creased American fiscal control Wall Street acquisition of the bank flotation of the loan, and indefinit continuance of American officers ij command of the national guard. A bill now is pending in congre? for immediate construction of tr inter-oceanic canal. It generally is assumed here thn Hoover will withdraw only part o the marines, leaving several hurt dred as a so-called “legation guaro in addition to the American-coi. trolled national guard. Many persons here expect Hoovf to approve extension of Unite States fiscal control and furthe loans. But they believe he will at* tempt to work out a more orderly system for such loans and keep th* maximum amount far under th* proposed $30,000,000. One of the chief reasons for Hoo ver’s Latin American trip is to gage the extent of anti-Yankee senti ment and combat it. Therefore, the attitude he finds in other Latin American countries toward United Stataes intervention in Nicaragua, which hitherto has been very hostile, is expected to Influence Hoover’s final answer to the Nicaraguan question.
