The Larger Contribution The citizens’ school committee has gone out. of business. It announces that its work is done with the election of its candidates to the school. That is correct. But success at the polls was not its greatest contribution to this city. Bucces was only incidental to the fact that it aroused and organized the public conscience of this community in a militant manner and brought home to many, who have before been indifferent, the fact that citizenship brings responsibilities and duties as wel las privileges and powers. The people of every community have always responded in a crisis, and the condition of school management can well be described as critical. There had been complacency toward the fact that city and county and state government at times had come under the control of the selfish and the greedy. The fiction that politics demands a certain librality of judgement had led many to believe that corruptuion and misuse of public funds are all part of a great American game and not to be censured. The awakening came when the same machine attitude of mind toward government had pervaded the schools and politicians were rewarded for political efforts by privileges and patronages in the school system. There is almost a reverence for the public school system which demands that the education of youth be kept free from political entanglements. It was when this stage of machine control was reached that the people were ready for revolt. The movement might well be likened to the formation of the Vigilantes in the Pacific coast cities in the early days when crime and lawlessness became partners of government. The people protected their lives and property by this organization, just as the Citizens Committee protected the public conscience against outrage in school management. There should not be, and probably will not be, any farther use for a Citizens Committee. That conscience which It aroused and which is now alert should protect the public in the future. Perhaps the great vote will warn any boss who may become overly ambitious that the people will not stand for intrusion into their school system of partisan political control. Tire two significant movements in this city have been the City Manager League and the Citizens School Committee. They were siflnificant because they brought together the men and women of all creeds, beliefs and colors in an effort to promote the public welfare. They broke down the barriers of prejudice and elevated thought to the high plane of pure patriotism. The breaking down of such barriers can make only for advancement in government. Such results teach distrust of labels. They free thought from its shackles of tradition. At heart all citizens think alike. They want the same things, if they think only as citizens. It is the very few who expect to profit at the expense of the many who arouse discord, dissention and distrust and find in these factors their own opportunities to prostitue public office to private profit. That the work was well done and thorough should bring everlasting praise and gratitude to those who led in this ever new and ever old crusade. But the leaders will find, as the days pass, their own satisfaction in the fact that they have given a much larger contribution to the public good than the mere election of five fine citizens as the directors of the school system. They have set new standards of political action.

The Parity Illusion "Parity" is the catch-phrase which has become the popular leadofl with our admirals and other defenders of the old order in international relations. Once upon a time it was the avowed aim of the military party to secure preponderance of strength in army and navy as compared with any potential enemy or group of enemies. The growth of sanity in international perspective since 1918 has made this appeal unpalatable to the majority of men. The traditionalists have fallen back upon the parity slogan. This appears much more Innocent on first sight and suggests a purely defensive outlook. As an actual matter of fact, however, ‘'parity” can be naric a subterfuge just as menacing to peace as the pr. ponderance of power program. As Professor Parker T. Moon of Columbia university points out; "Exact parity is out of the question. Even if there were to be ship for ship, ton for ton. gun for gun—and there will not be—there still would be inequality as regards naval bases, defensive tactics, marksmanship and visibility.” Moreover, the insistence upon parity as the point of departure in all discussion of disarmament and world peace would be disastrous to practical progress. It would menace the prospect for a favorable outcome of the approachiing London conference: •‘Technical wrangling over details of parity, if indulged in. might frustrate the conference and would be beside the point. Once it is realized that unless we have a navy more than equal in strength to any possible combination, we can not have any security through arms alone, we can approach the conference in a spirit of give-and-take, confident that our safety depends less upon keeping two or three more treaty cruisers than upon the general international situation.” Nobody who expects a scrap really is going to be satisfied with formal equality of power. There inevitably will be secret efforts to create real superiority in one way or another. This will beget an atmosphere of nervousness and suspicion, destructive of any real good-faith In international dealings. Resolute determination to end war as a method of handling international disputes, not parity in the means of waging war. is the sure road to peace. The great alliance in Europe prior to 1914 sought a balance es power and parity in ultimate strength. The result was July. 1914. There were tons of parity, but not an ounce of international confidence. Democratic-Progressive Coalition When the Democrats unite with the Progressives in the senate and overthrow the higher tariff bill written by the regular Republican organization, there it much wrath voiced by some against this “iniquitous coalition” The “two-party system of government intended by the founding fathers” is said to have been betrayed..

Effort* must be made to “restore the two-party system.” “Selfish blocs” are denounced. “Irregular” individuals are singled out for discipline. Which is, after all, rather amusing. For in the first place the founding fathers had no idea of having the country governed by a two-party system, as witness the electoral college. It was years before the party system began to take shape, and it was a development which revolutionized many things contemplated by the fathers. The two-party system came into being by reason of the clash between different elements of the electorate over certain burning issues. It was a method of getting the majority opinion on problems of government. But when issues became dim, parties solidified into organizations for getting office and grasping power —spoils. For the latter purpose creatures of the two-party system began to co-operate across the party line. In congress it became a “bi-partisan” combination to get what certain people wanted. Democratic votes could be had for a Republican tariff grab. The Democratic-Progressive coalition in the senate today is merely the "reverse English” on the bipartisan combination. Two helpless minorities combine and become a majority. If the bi-partisan combination was right or permissible—and it has been operating now for a long time—then the coalition is equally permissible. It is merely a bit more novel.

China Stands Still Announcement by the Chinese foreign minister that the United States has agreed to discuss extraterritorial rights "looking toward immediate abolition” is gratifying. But to discuss is one thing and to act is another. Washington is not apt to forego the basic conditions, which she has maintained during the last three years of intermittent negotiations, that China must provide adequate courts of her own to take the place of those withdrawn. Extraterritoriality should have been abolished long ago. In terms of practical diplomacy, however, no foreign government is likely to give up such rights until they are thrown out bodily, as in the case of Japan and Turkey, or until the country which suffers such unequal treaties becomes its own master. Friends of China had hoped, with the success of the Nationalist movement two years ago that the Nanking government would be able to unify the country and bring order out of chaos. Instead, civil war continues. At the moment, a score of warring factions have divided into two general groups, the conservative group, supporting the Nationalist government, and the so-called radicals, rallying behind the Kuominchun, or people’s army. In addition to Nanking's failure to achieve peace south of the Great Wall, it has precipitated a state of semi-war with Russia over the Chinese Eastern railway. That Manchurian dispute is farther from settlement than three months ago. If the Nanking government wants to be in a position to insist on the United States and the other powers relinquishing extraterritorial rights by Jan. 1, as requested, obviously it quiickly should consolidate its strength at home and in Manchuria. Though the former may be difficult to accomplish,, there seems no good reason why Nanking should not make peace with Russia at once. As long as it is surrounded by enemies, the Nationalist government will not get much mere than vague promises from the powers on the question of unequal treaties. % John D. Rockefeller says he never met a golfer whose character was bad. Singular how men, when old age comes on, seem to be ready to forget and forgive everything.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

Reactionary Republican Leaders Are Steering the Party Toward the Kind of Smash That Occurred in 1912. NO doubt our noble senators—some of them, at least—are doing the best they can to write a j good tariff bill, but one hardly would j guess it from the news, i The news conveys a distinct im- ! pression that verbal brawling conI sumes most of their time and attention. “Framed,” cries one, on the point of being censored, “sons of wild jackasses,” says another, referring | to his western colleagues; and “rubber,” shouts another, intelling what he thinks of Joe Grundy. m u There is some excuse for all the heat. Whatever may be said of their tariff row, it has uncovered a disagreeable amount of dirt. Collectors of campaign funds are revealed as present to demand their pound of flesh and then some. What was supposed to be lobbying is made to look like collusion in j certain instances. Even such a trifle <as manganese ' leads to hints of obscure, though powerful, influence. an u Farmer Is Deceived NOT only the farmers, but those dependent on farmer vote, ere worried, and who can blame them? Though with the usual ambiguity of politics, the farmers supposed that they were promised something definite. They may have taken toe much for granted in supposing such a thing, but that water has gone by the mill. The farmers believed that they were going to get some measure of relief, not only through a board and revolving fund, but through certain tariff adjustments, and what they believed is of more consequence than what slick politicians may have intended. m m u Asa result of the Kansas Cityconvention and Mr. Hoover’s nom- j ination, it generally was understood j that a special session of congress would be called to adopt specific farm relief laws and make such revision of the tariff as was needed to do justice by agriculture. It seems, however, that the old guard did not understand it that way at all, but took the Republican victory to mean permission to forget what had been promised and go back to its time-honored habit of “protecting big business at all costs.”

Hoover Should Act WELL, we have a coalition of Democrats and Progressive Republicans as the result—a coalition that will find its way into the next presidential election if the Hoover administration fails to redeem its pledges. If Mr. Grundy and his kind are allowed to run the show, the boys at the forks of the creek will bolt, just as the senators who represent them are doing. Reactionary leaders, such as Moses. Smoot and Reed, are steering the Republican party toward the same kind of smash that occurred in 191?. President Hoover ought to take the wheel. a a a Instead of a a tunnel, or bridge, Jules Jaeger, Swiss engineer, proposed to build two dams across the English channel, with a canal between. The canal would be extended to London on the English side, and connected with the great waterway system of France, Belgium and Germany on the European side. * The dams would terminate in high bridges at either coast, to permit the passage of ships. Cost of the project is estimated at $400,000,000, while a tunnel could be built for $150,000,000. nan Sentiment Changes UNTIL fifty or seventy-five years ago, the English channel was ! regarded as a blessing because it kept nations apart. New it is regarded as a handicap, "or precisely the same reason. Nothing in the world offers a more vivid illustration of how pubi iic sentiment is changing, j Twentieth century civilization is i more interested in removing barriers of trade than in maintaining bulwarks of defense, ana Tunneling, bridging or damming ; the English channel still sounds like ; a big undertaking, but even ordi- ; nary folks accept it as practicable.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE ..Occupational Therapy Helps Nerves

BY DR, MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of llygeia, the Health Magazine. DISEASES of the nervous system usually are divided into two types—those in which there have occurred actual changes in the tissues which are visible or otherwise demonstrable, and those in which the condition is what is called wholly mental. Changes in the nervous tissue can take place as the result of injury, infection, the action of poisons, hemorrhages and similar causes. Asa result of damage to a nerve, the person loses the ability to move the muscles which the nerve supplies, if it is a motor nerve; he loses sensation, if it is a sensory nerve,

IT SEEMS TO ME By BROUN

IT has been pointed out by several that our national prohibition law has swept away in a few years human liberties which were won only after centuries of struggle. Complacent courts have allowed the Bill of Rights to be whittled away from under our feet. Not only here, but in all parts of the world, men fought and died to establish fundamental principles of democracy which we have cast aside lightly. We have betrayed the noble army cf heroes and martyrs to satisfy the whim of the W. C. T. U. and to appease the Anti-Saloon League's lust for power. And yet it seems to me that Senator Smith Wildman Brookhart of lowa deserves to win the baton among all the leaders cf the great retreat. He has broken between his thumb and forefinger a tradition far more ancient than the American Constitution. Indeed, very shortly after the first great lizard crawled up from the primordial slime Wtnd took the first step in the evolutionary process it was agreed that the relationship between guest and host should be a special one and sanctified. ana Slimy LITTLE did the lizard realize that after aeons and aeons the slow march of the life force would find its triumphant fruition in the emergence of a Smith Wildman Brookhart. Perhaps it is just as well that doors of the future have always been closed against our scrutiny. If he only had known maybe the lizard would have crawled right back into the slime again. Even before the dawn of what we know as civilization, wild and savage men did, not respect those reticences obligatory upon all who have broken bread together. The salt of

the Arab became the salt of the' earth. There were a few who violated this universal code of fellowship, but none of them is happily remembered. They took the silver wage of infamy and ate the bread of shame And so Smith Wildman Brookhart stands out significant from all the rest. Now nobody expects a United States senator to behave with the same fortitude under pressure which characterizes a newspaper reporter. He would hardly dare to follow in the footsteps of the men from the Washington Times, who have chosen to accept jail rather than dishonor. And yet even with the Senate as constituted, it becomes as something of a surprise to learn that one member sits as the stool pigeon from lowa. Brookhart’s constituents Dromptly should furnish him with a oair of aumshces and a set of false whiskers. ana By Acclamation THE gentleman from lowa roared in public indignation at the fact that someone sent him a letter nominating him for membershio in the “Great American Polecat Club.” Better by far, I think, it would be to ele°t him unanimously as president of the “American Kiss and Tc’l Corporation.” The phrase is the creation of Miss Alison Smith. “No one can invite me to a dinner where crime is committed and expect me under the cloak of ethics to abstain from telling about it,” said Senator Brookhart. In other words, Senator Brookhart repudiates the proposition that there are gentlemen and prohibition agents. The gentleman from lowa does not contend that he was bound with ropes and taken to Fahey’s dinner. Seemingly, he went of his own free will and upon his arrival,

“someone went over to a shelf or table and lifted up a curtain, and there were a large number of silver hip flasks. I didn’t take one.” Drinking at this party, then, was net compulsory. Senator Brookhart could take it or let it alone and he chose the latter course of conduct. The gentleman from lowa reports' that he was disgusted, but he seems to have made no protest at the time.

The Fahey dinner occurred more than three years ago. If it is Brookhart’s patriotic duty now to tell all, why was he content to say nothing through 1927, 1928 and the winter, spring, summer and early autumn cf 1929? A light begins to dawn upon me. Brookhart’s personal code of ethics certaintly is neatly framed to suit the purposes of a politician. As long a.s it is politically inexpedient for him to talk he can remain silent as befits a gentleman from lowa. And when it is politically expedient to squeal, Brookhart, over night, can develop a patriotic urge and an overpowering sense of duty. Such a conscience is a treasure beyond price. I rather think that Brookhart is going to have a great many opportunities in the future to dine comfortably alone. (CoDvrurht. 1929. bv The Tiroes)

SCIENCE By DAVID DIETZ

Different Theories About Stars Arc Modified as Research Reveals Mistakes. STARS resemble human beings, in that young stars lead faster lives than old stars. This is one of the significant discoveries of modern astronomy and it is giving astronomers considerable difficulty in working out a theory to account ior the life history of a star. The earliest theory of stellar development was exceedingly simple. Astronomers many years ago had noticed that there are stars which were white in color, yellow in color, orange and red. It was assumed, therefore that a star began its life as white-hot. In time. it. began to cool off. It became, by terms, yellow, orange and then red. This would mean, therefore, that a white star was young, while a red star was very old. But further study showed that this first assumption to the life history of a star was altogether too simple. As astronomers accumulated more fa . about the universe, they found that it simply did not fit the facts. It was discovered that both the very largest and the very smallest stars were red in color. Orang stars ! were found just a little smaller than I the big red ones and just a little j larger than the small red ones. Yel- ! low stars fitted in next in both series and white came at the center. This led to the development of i the giant-dwarf theory of stellar de- ! vrlcpment, which was formulated ;by Dr. Henry Norris Russell, | professor of astronomy at Princeton university.

Dwarfs , According to this theory, a star began its life as a red giant. Slow contraction, due to the gravitational pull of the star upon its own outer layers, caused a rise in temperature. The star became hotter as a result of the contraction and turned orange in color. In the same way it became yellow and then white. But at this point it was thought a turning point came. The interior cf the star began to liquify. Further contraction no longer raised the temperature and so the star began to cool off. It became, by turns, yellow, orange and finally red. But now it was a red dwarf. This theory met with vast popularity. But within the last few years additional data has been accumulated which makes it necessary to modify it once more. These modifications are due very largely to the work of Professor A. S. Eddington, famous astronomer of the University of Cambridge, England, and research associate of the Mt. Wilson observatory of California. From the work of Eddington and others, it is apparent that even the red dwarf stars are composed entirely of perfect gases. Hende the explanation of a turning point in the giant-dwarf theory will not hold good. In addition, it was been shown recently that there are white dwarfs, very small stars, far smaller than the red dwarfs. Astronomers estimate that they are so compact that a cubic inch of their stuff would weigh a ton. The giant-dwarf theory does not provide any place for them.

Main Line IT also became evident that the universe was of an age which required the postulation of some tremendous source for the energy of the stars. Astronomers generally have accepted the suggestion of Professor J. H. Jeans that the complete annihilation of matter was going on in the interior of stars, the star losing mas* as it generated energy. It was discovered that the red giants were radiatin'* energy at far greater rates than other stars. This meant, therefore, that the young stars were living the fastest and radiating away their mass the quickest. At present, astronomers think the situation is something like this: There is a “main line” or stellar development which ranges from the whit? s*a s to the red dwarfs. There ar? two “rr nil lines," one ranging from the red giants to the wii'te stars, the other from the red dwarfs to the white dwarfs. Apparently a star starts in life as a red giant and radiates away maas with great rapidity, settling with considerable rapidity somewhere on the main line. Just where it will hit into the main line seems to depend upon how big a giant it was to start with. Once on the main line, it Is thought development proceeds at a slow rate. Just how the development from red dwarf to white dwarf takes d’ace is not certain. Professor Russell th'nks that the interior of a star may contain two types of materials. For want of a better name, he calls them “giant stuff” und “dwarf stuff.” He thinks the early rapid development is due to the explosion of the g.ant stuff, the later slew development to the slower annihilation of the dwarf stuff.
