Punish Treason Due to the watchfulness of The Times, very serious charges have been placed against election officials of one precinct. The Times nelieves that election irregularities of any kind are tantamount to treason. An honest ballot in primaries or in elecons, is the one safeguard of democracy. Very fortunately, two of the enforcement of the county, whether successful r not in their aspirations, are still in power, lore fortunately, there is a federal question nolved because there are candidates for a ■.••ierai office. Between now and November these local officials, the prosecutor and the criminal judge. will have ample opportunity to investigate every suspicion of fraud. Their sincerity will be largely determined, if it should be found that they are the nominees of their party, on their success in placing in jail every traitor who has challenged the right of self-government by any tampering with the ballot. The issue is plain and clear. Will Indianapolis be governed by a pencil or by the solemn judgment of its citizens? The Times, did not believe that there was any issue strong or clear enough in the primary to call upon the citizens to defend its free institutions. It saw no marked difference between candidates who labeled themselves foes of Coffinism and friends of Coffinism in the Republican ranks. Surely Prosecutor Stark and Judge Collins will make the most of a magnificent opportunity. Going Barefoot Next Winter? Os course v.e all could go without shoes, if we had to. And that is about the only way the consumer can beat the game if the Grundy tariff steal becomes a law. Otherwise, by the time we pay foi shoes for the baby and the rest of the family, there won't be much money left to buy other clothing. Perhaps we should not grumble. Didn t Washington's soldiers march with bare and bleeding feet over the ice at Valley Forge? Should we be less patriotic? Obviously, the Republican party can not give the tariff profiteers a billion dollars a year unless we are willing to make sacrifices for the “cause." To be sure, these additional sacrifices will be rather hard on the millions of unemployed and part-time employed, and on other millions who barely make ends meet, even when there is no tariff on shoes. One of :iic best-known national shoe manufacturers timates that the preposed 20 per cent ad valorem miff will boost the consumers’ shoe bill $150,000,000 a year—and that is a very conservative estimate. Not, of course, that the manufacturers need the increase; their profits already are large. The International Shoe Company, largest in the country, in addition to paying heavy regular dividends and in one year 300 per cent stock dividend, increased its surplus from $34,700,0U) in 1921 to $88,325,000 in 1929 and all with no tariff on shoes. That $150,009,000 increase in the national shoe bill means that the average family will pay $5.50 more. The poor, with larger numbers of children, will pay from $8 to $lO more for each family. And that additional amount is just about what the father and mother together had left for their own shoes last year; there will be no money for the fathers and mothers of poor families if this bill becomes law. Even if one or two of the children of the family die and the working man takes the money or their shoes to get a pair for himself he will find that $5 shoes will cast him $6 under the tariff. What difference does that make to the well-shod and well-fed representatives and senators who vote to take shoes off the iree list and put on the 20 per cent tariff list? It doesn't make any difference to them. Not now\ that is. But their time is coming. Wait till the consumers cf the country go to the polls and get a whack at them. For the benefit of the politicians who think they can get away with this tariff steal, and for the comfort of working people who are their victims, we want to quote the rule of the Republican high priest. James G Blaine. When the hogs had their feet in the McKinley bill trough, the shrewd Blaine made them leave shoes on the free list. Here was nis warning; “The only effect of a shoe tariff would be to project the Republican party into speedy retirement." “I Would Resign” The unfitness of John J. Parker to sit on the United States supreme court bench has been established clearly by his prejudices as a lower judge and by his lack of legal eminence. It had been assumed by hts opponents that he was sincere and of average legal ability. It was with a great deal cf surprise, therefore, that last week we came upon the record of the so-called harness war fraud case which Parker prosecuted as an assistant attorney-general under Daugherty. • The action of the trial judge in instructing an acquittal verdict and his expression oi “decided amazement" to discover that the government prosecution had in its possession documents tending to prove the innocence of those it was trying to convict, seemed to our lay mind to raise a serious question of Parker's competence—to use a mild word. We were disturbed by the judge's use of the word “monstrous" in denouncing Parker's case. Publication resulted in the usual denials and alibis But these did not prevent the senate from looking into the facts, which now are officially revealed to be as we published them last week. Senator Walsh of Montana, one of the great lawyers of the senate, after a survey of the record, reported to his colleagues Thursday that our editorial • which challenged attention to this particular episode is in every respect justified by the instructions of the trial judge." Senator Walsh went on in his own behalf to point out the extreme implications of the rebuke administered to Parker by the judge in the harness fraud case. If I were a prosecuting attorney, and found myself subject to comment of this character from the judge on the bench I should be so humiliated that

I promptly would abandon the practice of law,” Walsh declared. “I can not avoid the conclusion that this was one of the Daugherty fraud prosecutions for the purpose of throwing discredit upon the Democratic administration, and that Judge Parker lent himself to that purpose hoping, of course, that the case would get by the court In some form or other, and then that possibly political bias in the jury, or the reaction occasioned by the war or following the war, would bring about a verdict of guilty.” She Pays to Conquer Asa primary hostess Ruth Hanna McCormick is no piker. The campaign she threw cost somewhat over a quarter million dollars out of her own pocket without counting the side shows conducted by friendly organizations for her. Her unsuccessful opponent for the Republican nomination in the Illinois senatorial primary, Senator Deneen, spent less than $25,000. These were the figures given by the candidates themselves to the senate committtee Thursday. Since the senate once censured Newberry for spending less than half the McCormick figure, the question naturally arises as to what will happen to her now. She doesn’t think she has done anything wrong, and makes a great point of the fact that it was mostly her own money, rather than contributions that she spent. Just what that has to do with it seems somewhat obscure. Speaking in general terms and subject to correction, we would hazard the guess that there are other women in Illinois, not to mention men, who have as much right to run for the senate as Mrs. McCormick who haven't that quarter million to blow on a primary and a similar added amemrij; to spend on an election. I Such being the case, our vaunted American equality | of political opportunity seems a bit sour. One thing to be said for this lady politician, however. She frankly urges the necessity of coi'rective legislation. “I regard this inquiry as extremely important, in that it offers a basis for legislation which would provide specific regulation of expenditures in primary campaigns,” she testified. “A law is needed, both in the public interest, and in justice to the candidates themselves.” Sex Equality The opportunity Omar longed for—and most of us with him—of remaking this sorry scheme of things somewhat nearer to the heart’s desire, has come, in a sense, with the task just begun at The Hague of writing a code of law for the world. This is the first time in history that world governments have met for such a purpose. There is no limit to the things they might accomplish. So it is disappointing to have the first session adopt a convention on nationality that fixes one code for men and another less desirable code for women. Ift there is one thing that distinguishes this era from the past it is the rapid rejection of artificial restraints and disabilities imposed on women. To embody pointless discriminations against this group of j citizens in international law, where they surely must remain for many years, is a singularly stupid thing to do. The United States delegation at The Hague conference voted against the nationality convention, and this week the house foreign affairs committee will consider a resolution indorsing its stand and expressing unwillingness of congress to approve Article 1 of the code of international law unless it is rewritten “in conformity with the principle of equality.” Building for the future, we must reject wornout bricks from the past. A southern college plans to send its football team by airplane to New York for a game next fall. Those boys will be expected to know, of course, all about the “flying tackle.” If you think that people have lost their sense oi humor, notice the answer you get when you ask anyone to change a S2O bill. “Who Owns the Air?” a Canadian paper asks. Well, we've heard that all jilted suitors get it. Many a person who never has been up in a plane knows how an air pocket feels.

.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy SAYS: 1 A Fad or a Fanciful Innovation May Have a Vast Effect on the Business of a Nation. POLITICIANS having failed, the women of England will underj take to rehabilitate the cotton trade. They are likely to succeed if they i keep it up, as is amply proved by j the way they destroyed it through ] change of style. It was not only the American tariff, and,the Indian revolution that stopped millions of spindles, but the short skirt and silk underwear. In this connection, one of the most curious phases of modern life is the vast amount of talk concerning business conditions which has nothing to do with what caused them. non Off and on, we have had a good deal to say about the farmer's plight, but very few people have thought to mention the dieting craze as partly responsible. Well, 50,000,000 women simply can not go in for reducing, without raising cain with the wheat and potato market. If congress could persuade them to resume their former habit of eating what they wanted when they wanted it, it would accomplish more for farm relief than it has by all the legislation thus far enacted. n u u . Don't Overlook Fads W r E are so infatuated with the power of society to overcome its difficulties and achieve salvation through law that we forget the part played by those changes that come about as the result of innovation and fad. During the last fifty years, we have altered our system of lighting completely, and what did congress or the state legislature have to do with it? So, too, we have altered our transportation system completely, and again, what did congress, or the state legislature have to do with it? Considering what has happened to them since 1895, the could put up an argument that would break the heart of Pharaoh, but what can congress, or the state legislature, do about it? For the first time in history, we are up against the force of inventive genius, and not only that but the force of fashion as it can be directed and controlled by a world-wide publicity system. Within a generation, the safety razor has produced a whiskerless race, while bobbed hair has changed the character of two-thirds of the barber shops, and what have these things to do with the tariff, state I statutes, or foreign policy? b tt b Prosperity on Thin Ice '“ipHE wise business man of today ; J- reads the Scientific Monthly! and the advertising pages of his fa- j vorite magazine. Without losing any respect for the : proverbial cycle, about which eco- j nomic experts forever are talking he realizes that some kid with a! bright idea out in Arizona may put I his particular enterprise out of commission. Worse than that, he realizes that some social leader, with an idea which is not even bright, can raise a similar amount of cain by catching the popular fancy. The fact that an intriguing slogan, or wisecrack, can make millions of people buy something they never thought of buying before, is not ah unmixed blessing. If it creates a new industry on the one hand, it is likely to spoil an old one on the other, and in either case it suggests that our boasted prosperity often skates on mighty thin ice.

Roundabout Grief GOING back to the cotton situ- ; ation, especially in England, is : it not disturbing to think that an \ Indian preacher has demoralized the trade by turning away millions of customers? Those customers were poverty stricken, to be sure, and seldom bought more than a yard or two at a time, but what they lacked financially they made up in numbers. The wise business man of today not only reads his scientific monthly and the advertising pages of his favorite magazine, but the news as well. He realizes that incidents which appear to have no bearing on his particular field of eadeavor may strike it a death blow in some roundabout way. What wheat farmer thought that his pocket was being picked when somebody suggested that so much fat could be taken off in so many days by following such and such a diet? What textile mill operator saw bankruptcy ahead when, in the excess of war enthusiasm, women began to shorten and narrow their dresses?

Canned Milk Safe and Nourishing

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygcia, the Health Magazine. THOSE countries which have developed a dairy industry are fortunate in having available a good supply of fresh milk. Milk is considered the most important of human foods. It provides in easily digestible form important proteins, carbohydrates and fats, mineral salts and most of the vitamins. It is made safe for human consumption by control of the conditions under which it is produced, by certification after counts are made of the bacteria that it may contain, by pasteurization through which dangerous germs are destroyed. So valuable indeed is milk as a source of human energy and growth, that means were promptly developed

But though he comes back to routine duty with all the good-will in the world, a few disturbing realizations remain in his mind. “How do you account for the eccentric conduct of Heywood Broun?” asked a member of the staff of the Bowery Y.

At the peak of the Give a Job campaign there were two offices and a staff of twenty people, including field managers, office managers, personnel men, superintendent of breadline distribution, and an assistant superintendent. It was even possible for me to give orders. I could say, “Take a letter,” or “Send these clothes down to the City Mission.” And I played the most fascinating game which has been ever invented for the easement of the human ego. I played Caliph. Like Haroun El Raschid of old, it was my privilege to walk along the breadline and to beckon someone out of the ranks with, “We can get a job for you.” Our prize client was invited out of the line on Monday, went to work on a Tuesday and by Wednesday evening had earned $42. Naturally that was way above the average. But they were a capable crowd all in all. Many came back to repay small loans and say, “And here’s

Condensed milk, canned milk, and powdered milk are a few of the ways in which milk today is made available for people all over the world. Indeed, in many sections the canned and powdered milks, the evaporated and condensed milks are preferred even to the fresh variety. In a recent survey of the conditions in the Philippine islands, Dr. J. R. Perez has pointed out that in most of the cities, towns and barrios in the Philippine islands there are no dairy farms and not even milk cows. Since the beginning of the American occupation, canned milk of different brands from the United States has become a common household commodity throughout the Philippine islands.

BRAHMS’ BIRTH May 7. ON May 7, 1833, Johannes Brahms, German composer, and often called the last of the great classical masters, was born at Hamburg, Germany. At the age of 10 he was placed under the instruction of Eduard Marxsen, then the foremost musician in Hamburg. When Mendelssohn died, Marxsen said: “A great master of music has passed away, but a greater one will arise in Brahms.” Brahms was but 14 years old at that time. Six years later he became accompanist for the great Hungarian violinist, Remenyi. At Gottingen, while touring with Remenyi, Brahms attracted the attention of Joachim, another great violinist, who later introduced him to Liszt and Schumann. In 1861 Brahms went to Vienna, where he acquired a high reputation, and held several important musical posts. After the appearance of Brahms’ first symphony a contemporary musician originated the phrase of “three great B’s” (Bach, Beethoven, Brahms). His compositions included four great symphonies which can be compared only with the fqjur greatest symphonies of Beethoven, many overtures, serenades and other orchestra pieces and

Perez reports that powdered whole cow’s milk has been exceedingly satisfactory for infant feeding under the conditions that exist. In most instances the preparation of the formula for the baby is entrusted to the mothers, grandmothers, or caretakers, many of whom can not read. Notwithstanding this fact, the milk seems to have served every purpose satisfactorily. The powdered form can be transported anywhere. There is little, if any, danger of bacterial contamination. There is no chance of feeding sour milk and the expense of keeping fresh or canned milk on ice is entirely avoided. Thus modern industry plays its part in safeguarding human life in the tropics.

SCIENCE 1 BY DAVID DIETZ

Valuable Archeological Finds Trace Philippine History Back to the New Stone Age. BOLD and courageous traders made their way from southern India to the Philippine islands perhaps as early as 1009 B. C. This is the conclusion reached by Dr. R. B. Dixon, professor of anthropology at Harvard university. At the annual meeting of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia. Dr. Dixon discussed archeological studies which Professor H. Otlev Beyer, head of the department of anthropology of the University of the Philippines, has been carrying on. Dr. Dixon's conclusion is based on Dr. Beyer's work. An understanding of the archeology of the Philippine islands has come within the last few years, Dr. Dixon said; “Until four years ago the archeology of the Philippines back of the period which may be placed roughly about the year 1000 A. D. was a complete blank.” he said. “Early in 1926, in the course of the construction of a dam on the Novaliches river, built to form a reservoir for the water supply of Manila, a prehistoric village and cemetery site was discovered. "The find was brought to the attention of Dr. Beyer, who, at once, realizing its importance, began a systematic investigation of the site. “It was necessary to work rapidly, as the steam shovels and engineering work at the dam threatened to destroy the whole deposit.” B B B Horizons IN the course of his research, Dr, Beyer uncovered five archeological horizons, that is, he discovered relics at different levels in the earth which clearly belonged to five different cultures or civilizations. “The uppermost contained Chinese porcelains and other ceramic wares,” Dr. Dixon reports. “Below this came two strata belonging to the Iron Age, and below these again were two purely Stone Age levels. “At one stroke thus, the history of human culture in the Philippines was carried back at least to early Neolithic times.” The Neolithic Age is the name given by anthropologists to the New Stone Age. It is supposed to have begun about 25,000 years ago, at the close of the last glacial age and marks the transition between the Old Stone Age, sometimes popularly but not quite exactly referred to as the Caveman period, and the beginnings of modern civilization. “Encouraged and enthused by this beginning," Dr. Dixon continued, “Dr. Eeyer began an extended reconnaissance of the region about, and made at each of them excavations of varying extent. Having been unable to enlist any government or private support. Professor Eeyer had carried on the entire work at his own expense." This work has revealed horizons still older than those uncovered in the first excavations. Besides the two Neolithic cultures just mentioned, Dr. Beyer found two cthais. The first of these two consists of stone implements which are not pclished as are the Neolithic implements. but merely chipped out in a rude fashion. No pottery is found associated with these implements The other culture is yet older. Dr. Beyer thinks it may go back to the Paleolithic Age. tt tt tt India MUCH study, taking perhaps a decade, will be necessary before final conclusions can be made from the marvelous finds of Dr. Beyer, Dr. Dixon believes. “It is from the finds in the Iron Age strata which overlie, the Neolithic deposits, that immediate conclusions can be drawn legitimately,” Dr. Dixon said. * “These comprise pottery of a considerable range in quality and types of decoration, and a very large variety of forms; secondly, iron implements and weapons, such as knives, axes, daggers and spearpoints; thirdly, glass beads and bangles, both green and blue, and (finally, beads of semi-precious stones such as agate, carnelian, amethyst and clock-crystal. “It is certain that some at least of the iron objects were of local manufacture, since deposits of iron slag and evidences of iron smelting have been found. It is uncertain as to the glass. “Now both the iron and glass objects are Similar to and in some cases identical with the prehistoric glass and iron finds in the south of India. “As finds of similar glass beads and bangles recently have been made in the Malay Peninsula, in Java and in North Borneo, the inference is inescapable that we have clear evidence of a trade contact between the northern Philippines and southern India, running well back into the first millennium B. C.”
