“Forgive Them, They Do Not Know” Az an attitude toward the numerous members of the legislature who voted, as far as they - could, to shackle this city with machine politics, the people might repeat the most famous ~ of all texts. It is undoubtedly true that large numbers of rural members of the legislature do not understand that the fight for the city manager plan in its best form is a fight for decency, for honesty, for law and order. They do not understand that the fight t<* emasculate and weaken that law is a fight for a machine which has thrived in the past by naming some thieves to office, which has sold privileges to bootleggers and other criminals, which has collected tolls from gambling houses and has been under suspicion of splitting loot with thugs and highwaymen. Surely they do not understand that the con•_tcst is simple in its terms. On the one side are those who would make public office serve the public. On the other are those who frankly s. te that they want to use these offices against :he public welfare. Just why any member from any agricultural , county would desire to turn over tjie capital city to the hands of politicians is difficult to understand. The city manager plan has been adopted by the people of this city by a vote of more than five to one. The election was held under a law that has besn on the statute books for a number of years. The plan has been tried in other cities and found to work well. Cities which have adopted it are now growing and prosperous, where before they were sodden, corrupt and stagnant. Every decent force in this city is back of the effort to protect the plan. Every crooked influence is against it. Certainly these fine farmers do not understand. They should be taught. The Court Is Safe Can you imagine Justice, lifting her hands to her bandaged eyes, sighing with safety as she watches Rev. E. S. Shumaker in his prison cell. The supreme court is safe now r . It has declared that those who lie about its decisions can be summarily sent to prison and that the judges shall determine when criticism becomes crime. Undoubtedly there are many thousands in this state who rejoice in the plight of the dry leader who for a time becomes a number and is no longer able to dictate to legislators, .to sheriffs, to prosecutors or Ito congressmen. They do so unthinkingly. For a precedent has been created that may at any time arise to plague those who have any urge to exercise their rights of free speech and feel strongly about judicial decisions. The sentencing of Shumaker completes a long list ol precedents under which judges and courts now ■j*havc complete power, ; It has been determined that'the truth of criticism -is no defense. This had no relation to the Shumaker case, as his defenders did not urge that he had spoken ‘ the truth. The comments of Shumaker concerned a case that ’had been closed. That enlarges the old theory that indirect contempWnust concern some “pending case." Those who use either the spoken or the written word will understand the significance of the sentence. '.No federal question is ever involved. No Governor . may pardon. Those who wish may draw their own conclusions 'from the facts that contempt proceedings are presumed to be summary and used for the purpose of immediate protection of the court and the supreme court weighed the matter many months before reaching a decision. „ What is more significant is the fact that the supreme court refused to consider as important the ademitted activities of Senators Watson and Robinson in -behalf of Shumaker after his case had been presented to that court. By admission and written evidence these two senators talked over what they could do—and did do. Both were candidates for office. Shumaker was powerful. The record shows that Robinson went to Watson to discuss what could be done to "keep Shumaker out of Jail.” For Shumaker's appeal to politicians to save him he merited all that he is getting. Perhaps he can get some satisfaction, as the judges must, from the thought that the court is now safe. Peace—The Next Step The most promising aspect of the Capper senate resolution to authorize munitions and enonomic boycott against any nation violating the Kellogg antiwar pact is the public attention it is receiving. Last year a similar Burton resolution aimed at w arring nations was ignored almost completely. Here is quick proof that the Kellogg treaty discussion and ratification have stimulated America's sense of responsibility for worid peace. We are in sympathy with the purpose of the Capper resolution. We believe that the moral weight of the United States should be thrown against nations which break the peace. That is the intent of the Kellogg pact. But America’s moral influence in such a crisis wrbuld be nullified if that outlawed foreign war were fought with American munitions and supplies. And this is the missing link in the American outlawry-of-war chain which the Capper resolution aims to supply. Actual text of the Capper resolution seems to us unclear on some points and evasive on others. But that is not important at the moment, because Capper’s idea now simply is to start a general discussion as a background for intelligent handling of the question by congress next winter. Opposition of the Borah isolationist group on the one side and of the militarists on the other has been accorded similar proposals in the past, and doubtless will be concentrated against the new resolution.

posed move would “take us into the League cf Nations through the back door.” That is nonsense. Soon or later, the United States must face the facts of modem waif are—that there can be no war without affecting this country’s world interests. That old concepts of neutrality are meaningless in an age which necessarily distinguishes between “private” and “public wars,” and that fraditional definitions of contraband can not apply to modern wars, which involve civilian populations and which are determined mainly by economic weapons. The Capper resolution is evidence that Amercia is beginning belatedly to face this problem, which other nations, through the ■ League of Nations, have been lacing for a decade. But the League of Nations is not the cause of that problem. Neither is the League of Nations the American solution proposed by Capper. His resolution would empower the President, unless otherwise provided oy congress, to determine the violator of the Kellogg pact and to apply an American boycott against the offender. Certainly that is quite different from allowing the league or the league council to determine American action. A second important difference between this 4merican proposal and the league and Locarno provisions for so-called sanctions against an offender is that the latter include use of military and naval force. The present international situation is paradoxical and dangerous, because the United States, which on paper has outlawed aggressive war, is in a position to prevent league nations from suppressing an aggressive war. Indeed, we are in a position now .to furnish .the arms and supplies to a nation violating our Kellogg treaty, and. then go to war ourselves against league nations whose blockade against the aggressor interferes with our “freedom" to aid the outlaw. Here is one cause of the Anglo-American disagreement over sea law and the new cruiser rivalry. This issue is fundamental.- It will not be settled in a day. The solution probably will not be in the exact form of the Capper senate resolution, or of the similar Porter resolution introduced in the house yesterday. But that the solution will be along the general lines of these resolutions, we do not doubt. Meanwhile, this issue deserves the best thought of the American people. Lincoln’s Ideal A good thing it is that we have reminders like the anniversary of Abraham’ Lincoln. The Great Emancipator he was called. That was because he was President when slavery as an institution was overthrown. But Lincoln was even more than that. He was the voice and the embodiment of that ideal toward which our country strives, the ideal of a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Those words are not a mere trick of rhetoric. They are the simplest statement of that principle of democracy which gave birth to our form of government, and which is the antithesis to the thing called dictatorship. Lincoln and Mussolini are the opposite poles of political thought. The hallowed dead of Gettysburg died, he said, that the ideal of democracy might not perish from the earth. Our nation is not today altogether a government of the people, by the people, for the people. If he were alive, Lincoln would be the last to so describe it. But it is not a government of the people by a czar or a kaiser or a Mussolini. It is a government in which the people have a considerable voice. It is a government in which the ultimate power rests still in the people’s hands. Beforp Einstein reached his theory that the earth and all are only an optical illusion, he must have s pent considerable time studying the habits and manners of backseat drivers.

Sun Rotation Startling

No. 277

LET US now see what modern astronomical methods have revealed about the sun. But first, let us give a word of warning to the amateur astronomer. Under no circumstances should one attempt to look directly at the sun. A Belgian physicist by the name of Plateau forced himself to look at the sun for ’twenty seconds and as a

result blinded himself for life. Under no circumstances should opera glasses or field glasses be pointed at the sun as blindness might result. A telescope should only be pointed at the sun when equipped with proper and adequate solar or dark eyepieces and even then it is n,>t wise for

KL Is

the amateur to try solor observation except under the supervision of an experienced and trained astronomer. The most noticeable features of the sun are the socalled sun-spots, irregularly shaped dark spots on the surface of the sun. Both from visual observations of the sun-spots and from the evidence of the spectroscope, it can be shown that the sun is rotating on its axis from west to east just as the earth is. But these observations reveal a startling fact, namely that the equatorial regions of the sun are rotating faster than the remainder of the sun. The equatorial region of the sun makes one complete rotation in 24.6 of our days. However, at a north or south latitude of 60 degrees, it takes 30.9 days and at the north and south polar regions of the sun it takes 34 days. No adequate explanation of this state of affairs has yet been formulated. However, it clearly points to the fact that the entire sun must be in a gaseous condition and that the interior of the sun must be seething under the influence of terrific forces. The surface of the sun is known technically as the photosphere. It is not a solid surface such as we have here on earth. It is a great white-hot boiled sea of clouds not clouds of water-vapor such as we have on earth, but clouds of iron and copper and magnesium and sodium and many other substances which exist as solids on this earth but as white-hot vapors or gases in the sun. The sun-spots, as we shall see later, are great whirl-pools in this gaseous surface, caused, perhaps, by the same forces which account for the differential rotation of various parts of the sun.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Lincoln Believed in Men; He Was Always Readier to tor give Than Condemn. In That, More Than Anything Else, Lay His Greatness”

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 12. —Comes Feb. 12 once more, with the shadow of a tall, gaunt man looming out of the murk. America pauses to pay tribute, and the rest of the world is rapidly learning to follow suit. It will be thus as long as human history survives. Even though this nation should perish, and the very civilization which gave it birth, the natne of Lincoln wfill live on. This barefoot boy, born to poverty and privation; this awkward country lawyer, studying as he tramped along the road; this politician, who made himself popular by telling funny stories; this rabid abolitionist whom the party bosses tried to shelve; this man of peace, who found himself forced to engage in a fratricidal war; this embodiment of spirituality, whose love of humanity never succumbed to the bitterness of conflict has gone to take his place among the great of the earth. n u Genius, and Human WF have found no yardstick with which to measure Lincoln’s stature. He was more than able, more than commanding, more than courageous, something grander than a statesman, something bigger than a president. Possessing all the human qualities that go with a self-made man, he was blessed with a spark of genius which lifted him above the type. Asa youth, he did things that challenge the admiration of the roughest and toughest of his time. In spite of his high, falsetto voice, he had few equals as an orator. Asa leader of men, he stands without a peer. Lincoln was a great wrestler, could life a thousand pounds, wield an ax with the best of them, use a transit, or steer a flatboat down the Mississippi, yet he had the faith of a child and the heart of a philosopher. What Would Abe Do? IF Lincoln were to come back, he would find a changed world, but he would find little difference in adjusting himself to it, for his was a type of soul not to be made or marred by machinery. How long would it take him to learn to drive a car, figure an electric light bill, or talk over the radio? Not so long as it would take us to get the knack of splitting rails. As for those bigger and older problems, with which he strove—the problems of justice and fair play—he would find himself quite at home. Such cases as that of Asa Keyes, former district attorney of Los Angeles, who has just been convicted of conspiracy, and that of the invert, Northcott, who has just been sentenced to hang for the murder of three little boys, might shock Lincoln, but would hardly surprise him, while he would be on familiar P'ound in dealing with such questions as that of prohibition, Nicaragua, or even German reparations. tt tt n Universal Truths PRINCIPLES can expand but never change, the man who learns to think in principles is not only safe, but adaptable to any age. That is why some men live on as sources of wisdom and inspiration. Socrates was one; Shakespeare w'as one, Lincoln was one. We can still learn something of "value from Socrates, though he died more than 2,000 years ago, without even knowing that the earth was round, or that Lindbergh would fly the Atlantic. Two thousand years hence, men will be learning something of value from Lincoln. There are such things as universal truths and immutable laws. Lincoln was one of the few to sense them. 8 tt tt Belief in Men “VI7ITH malice toward none,” he VV said, “but charity for all,” and “striving for the right, as God Gives us to see the right”—what a creed, what a philosophy. hat a religion! Where are the people who can not follow it to their own good? What are the problems it would not help to solve? Everything goes back to human hope in human capacity to grow more decent all the while. Lincoln was a living, breathing embodiment of that hope. Lincoln believed in men. Like Franklin, he held that it was ! natural for them to want to do right. He was always readier to forgive than condemn. In that, more than anything else, lay his greatness. B tt tt Idol-Smashers INTELLECTUAL sharps say that we have made a fictitious figure of Lincoln, that the man we venerate is not the man who lived, that no such man as we venerate could live, that we have draped a product of imagination with impossible virtues and called it real. Where did we get the idea of doing such a thing, assuming it to be so? Who started the venture and why? What is the reason the idolsmashers have not made more headway? They have certainly done work enough. No, no? This is hardly a case of i superstitious idolatry. America has I made no god of Lincoln, has clothed ■ him with no supernatural powers. What America has done is enshrine him as a man who exemplified the triumph of spirit over material difficulties, who rose by his own efforts, who resisted the temptations of hate, who remained true to Ivis boyhood ideals, who faced the storm with the’ courage of a lion, who touched the wounds of his bleeding fellow-beings with the tenderness of mother love.

Books Give Facts to Help Healthy Life

The fifth article of Dr. Fishbein’s interesting series of seven articles on “The Human Body and Its Care” is presented here. The series, in pamphlet form, can be obtained from the American Library Association, 86 East Randolph street, Chicago. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. THE consideration that has been given to the human body has taken but little account of some of the newer discoveries in the field of medicine. The ultra-violet rays, sunlight, cod liver oil, the vitamins, the calories and similar words have become known to all of us because of the tremendous publicity given to them in recent discussions on health subjects. One is tempted to insert at this point the ancient proverb, “Be not the first by whom the new is tried.” The progress of science is rapid and it is almost impossible for any one to keep abreast qf all its innovations. The safe path is to be assured that new methods are necessary.

Reason

WE are all one family on Lincoln’s birthday. The quaint, kindly, just, patient, curious, unpretending, humorous, melancholy, struggling, persevering, conquering quality of the man is the one common touch of all the year. Again and again we like to wander with him from first to last over the rough way he went in the olden time up that long hill of fifty years. # tt tt We like to see him lying on the cabin floor, reading the “Life of Washington" by the flickering fireplace light; we like to see him pause and with a piece of charcoal write upon a wooden shovel some passage which impresses him, commit it to memory, then take a knife and plane the shovel clean that he may write on it again. tt a tt We like to go with him as he walks over the hills, fifteen miles to Boonville, to hear Breckinridge, the criminal lawyer, speak in defense of one accused of murder; we like to watch his rapt face as he thrills with froiitier eloquence, and we like to see him as he walks back to his cabin home, under his arm a copy of the Revised Statutes of Indiana and in his heart an ambition to become 3> lawyer. We like to see him, the village postmaster, reading all 'the newspapers that come to the office, then putting letters in his hat and delivering them, though he does not have to, five miles in the country. We like to see him thrash the bully who uses obscene language in the presence of the women in the country store. tt tt e We like to stand with him in the market place in New Orleans, where for the first time seeing a slave auction, he turns to his companions and says: “Let us go away from here!” We like to see him pause and turn to the accursed traffic and declare, “If God ever gives me a chance to hit that institution, I’ll hit it bard!" tt it tt We like to go with him as he rides the circuit with judges and lawyers, winning verdicts by his shrewd strategy of fair play and common SC We like to sit beside him in the old frontier tavern after the court adjourns, when his unceasing flow of anecdotes and his marvelous powers of mimicry makes his colleagues roar. tt tt tt We like to look up to him as he and Douglas battle in that immortal series of debates in which the destiny of this republic was determined.

.THE HUMAN BODY AND ITS CARE—NO. a

New techniques for prolonging life should have been thoroughly tested in the laboratories and practices of the experienced before any attempt is made to utilize them in the routine of daily life. The books to be mentioned in this reading course are merely the beginning of anew literature on health. They have been selected to elaborate the points made in this preliminary discussion and to afford to any reader safe and stimulating guides to the care of the human body. The progress of preventive medicine and of personal hygiene is so rapid, however, that the reader hardly can keep abreast by the reading of books alone. For this reason the American Medical Association issues a monthly periodical called Hygeia, wfiich includes not only original contributions by various authorities in the health field, but also editorial discussions of health problems, reviews of new books on health, and a department of “Questions and Answers" in which the problems of readers are given special consideration. ,*

For I have beard the slander of many; fear was on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.—Psalms 31:13. B tt tt HAVE patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is 1 the child of Time; ere long she shall appear to vindicate thee.—Kant.

It has been argued that physicians and scientists are not capable of writing about health and hygiene in terms that people can understand, and that it is going to be necessary for fiction writers and essayists to learn enough about these scientific subjects to enable them to interpret satisfactorily for the public the commoner facts about health. • All the books to be recommended have been written by physicians or scier.'.'ris r' have developed a literr.: ; technique which makes it possible for them to write in language that any one can understand. The dramatization of medicine and of science constitutes another field, including the great biographies and autobiogrmhies of medical men, the picturesque works of De Kruff, the story of Panama and of the medical corps in great wars. The individual man may, through a study of the care of his own body, learn much of the way in which science protects man in the mass against the deadly plagues that have devastated humanity in the past.

ace of spades. East plays 6 of spades which is won by South. South now plays jack of clubs which West covers with queen of clubs. What card should be played from Dummy? The Error—This trick is won with ace of clubs and then king of clubs is played. The remaining three clubs are sacrificed and game is lost thereby. The Correct Method —Declarer is certain of making the following tricks: two in spades, two in hearts and one in diamonds. To frame, Declarer must make four club tricks. By refusing to take the first trick, whether covered by queen or' not, the remaining four club tricks will in all probability be established. The Principle—When holding a suit containing ace, king and three small cards in Dummy, and two small cards in closed hand or vice versa, four tricks may be made by ducking the first trick played.

Early in the present century the American Cotton Company developed the cylindrical bale, which permitted the cotton to be compressed more tightly and therefore to occupy less spaoe in a freight car. A bat or layer of cotton is formed, rolled down very hard and wound up on itself, or rolled together under pressure and tension so that it forms a cylinder and tends to hold itself together. The cylindrical bale has the advantage that it arrives at the cotj ton mill conveniently protected by j bagging having neither wires nor noops. and there is less tear and i waste. It is also cheaper to manufacture.

Ideas *< opinion* •• • pressed In thin column n 1 1 those of one of A m erica’s most interestinr writers and arc presented wll hout rcstrd to their sirreement with the editorial attitude of this paper. The Editor.

TT ARVEY FERGUSSON, who used to do newspaper syndicate pieces down in Washington, is moving up. His last novel, "In Those Days,” seems to me his best and one which entitles him to a place among the most interesting of our fictioneers. The curse of the profession has not quite abated. One might think that the reporter who turns literary would bring with him some touch of the conciseness, which is hammered home in city rooms. But he doesn't. And perhaps no oneshould expect it. When a man has written words to be fitted into a definite measure getting off on hfaown is something of a spree. It is inevitable that a Theodore Dreiser should turn a onecolumn murder into a two-volume novel once he was out of journalism and safe from the tyranny of the copy desk. Fergusson’s revolt against his old trade takes a seme what different form. , "In Those Days” is as compact a story as any one would delight to read. It moves through decades at top sneed leaving a great trail of southwestern dust behind it. a tt a ‘Don’t Dare, Don’t I' IN his own book, he can spill words which would never be allowed in any paper devoted to a family circulation. There is a suggestion of swagger in his saltiness. He blurts out certain Anglo-Sax-ton epithets with the air of one who looks the reader in the eye and says, “Oh, you thought I wouldn't dare, did you?” Still, I would have no writer mince through a story, which mast needs concern itself with the dance halls and brothels of a frontier town.. I would 1 have more reticence in that section of his story, which deals with the Indians and their horrid customs in dealing with defenseless victims. Harvey Fergusson goes much too fully into things which were better left unsaid. u tt # Wagons # to Gas “TI7AGONS, Indiana, Railroads, VV Gas” are the four sections in the Fergusson novel. He has undertaken tch tell something of the story of the whole southwest, but he has been shrewd enough to relieve the eye of the reader by keeping one figure constantly in the foreground. Always we walk along with Robert Jayson. He is a full and fascinating figure. His pangs and joys are mine as I read the book. tt tt # Afraid of Women \ ND of all the love affairs of XX Robert Jayson I found my greatest interest in his romance with the Mexican girl, Maria, in the frontier post. That was in the days when Jayson worked in Abel Jayson’s store. “It was piled and cluttered with boxes, sacks, barrels and bolts and festooned with saddlery and harness. Counters were bright with knives pots and pans, dishes and trinkets, and rifles, muskets and shotguns armed its walls. It had a drug counter and a liquor counter and its air was heavy with the smell of whisky, new leather, raw wool, onions, qoffee and tobacco.” It was to this delightfully aromatic retreat that Maria came to buy a cake of scented soap. In those day Jayson was very timid. In fact, he remained timid with women to the very end of the book. Even after he had fought with Indians it was women whom he feared. “In Those Days” deals with love and liquor, - Indians and adventure, saloons and brothels, railroads and the march of progress. There is both color and action in the book. But I should like to ask Harvey Fergusson a little stiffly precisely what he meant when he wrote: “Love was far back there, a faint and seldom memory of pain and thrill, a thing that left a man weak .#nd loosened. He was done forever with a staring at the moon. He was nearly forty.” (Copyright. 1929. for The Times)

If your rights are respected, why not respect the righS, of counties that desire to make the change, and give to them the legal protection of the state to secure them from fraud and imposition?
