A Real Remedy One sure way to avoid the easy frauds in Sections, so easy to perpetrate and so difficult to punish apparently, is anew Constitution that would shorten the ballot and make representative government possible. All of the evils of the primary system can be traced to the long list of elected officials. The purpose of making officials responsible to the people is defeated by the election of so many officers that an intelligent ballot is almost an impossibility. Anew Constitution could remedy this situation by reducing the list of elected officials and then providing for a stronger check on those to whom responsibility is given. Outside of members of the legislature, state officials could be reduced to a very few. But these few would be chosen more carefully. The same could be done with county officials. If ali responsibility were centered in a board of commissioners, these offices would not be looked upon as unimportant by the voter. There is no reason why a surveyor or coroner, for examples, should be chosen in primaries and at election. If the commissioners were unfaithful or negligent, they should be removable by easy methods. The whole purpose should be to center responsibility and so definitely fix it that the people will not be confused by buckpassing officials who shoulder the blame for their misdeeds on others. The one way to secure these reforms is through anew Constitution. That document, if drawn, should make city manager systems of government *egal for cities, and not permit supreme courts to take away the right of the people to run their own affairs. Far more important than any partisan campaigns this fall, and these are important in getting rid of some state officials w ho have proven themselves unfit, is the question of a new Constitution. No voter who still believes that the people are fit to rule themselves should be misled by any specious pleas for stability. The trouble is that the present Constitution has been so distorted by legal interpretation that the people do very little governing.

Business of Education Is Business The sage of Northampton, Calvin Coolidge, once contributed to the American cultural tradition that •'the business of this country is business." From current statistics of educational trends it would appear that we are not far from the day when the business of American higher education likewise will be business. This issue is discussed intelligently in an interest rg article by Professor L. J. Nations in the North American Review. In this analysis of "Business Before Culture." he points out how the school of commerce in his own University of Alabama now is the largest of the professional schools in the institution and has a larger registration than that of the entire university fourteen years ago. There are 74.000 students of commerce in the eighty-nine American colleges and universities. The schools of commerce and business administration have outdistanced all others save the colleges of liberal arts and are pushing these hard. Gain in students in these schools since 1915 has been far above 500 per cent. These schools of commerce frankly accept the doctrine that “life obtains for the glorification of business.” Young men ambitious to succeed in business today believe that it is wiser to study business in a college than it is to acquire the knowledge by apprenticeship in practical experience: “It -s not surprising that a young man prefers to begin his business experience, if need be. by sweeping out the commerce classroom instead of the business office, for he believes that he better can acquire his professional knowledge by studying the broad principles of business in a college classroom than by serving an apprenticeship in a shop where the owner may or may not be aware of the complex conditions which are contributing to the success or failure of his enterprise.” Professor Nations does not seriously criticise the effectiveness of schools of business administration in supplying technical academic training for those who would succeed in this line of endeavor. What he does doubt is the ability of men thus absorbed with business goals to develop sufficient interest in other aspects of culture to create a decently balanced civilization. They may succeed well in building what Plato described as a glorified “city of pigs,” but they will not produce anoter Periclean age. “No one has any quarrel with a young man who is eager to acquire a degree of economic security so he may practice the delicate art of living lifer No one, moreover, has a quarrel with a young nation that is ambitious to attain a level of economic excellence so cultural opportunities may obtain for the masses of the people. But one does have a quarrel with the apologists for our present lack of culture who smugly contend that when America comes of economic age. American men will turn their energies eagerly to cultural fields. What influence then will direct them there? Will a Moses arise among the pushcarts to lead the masses into the promised land? Will the Aristotelian idea that in every human breast there is implanted a divine urge for perfection suffice to turn the balance?” Professor Nations believes that our omy hope for en “urge to culture” is to be found in the women students who still go in for "liberal arts" or are educated in liberal arts women s colleges. No doubt our girls emerge from college with nobler aspirations thr> the miles of comparable age. But what happens to them after they have to sell bonds or have married an aspiring young broker? Professor Nations does not answer this question. A New Crop of Mooneys Making the melons safe for democracy in Cali- . forma is an occupation fraught with great risk.

tried to organize the melon workers in that rich district. They were seized under the criminal syndicalism law and held in jail. Bail was fixed at $40,000 each. It later was reduced to $15,000, still an outrageous figure. Now the trial is over. Six of the defendants have been sent to the penitentiary for a term of from one to fourteen years, on each of three points. As the sentences are to run consecutively rather than concurrently, these men may be kept in prison from three to forty-two years. It is the first conviction under the law in six years. Two have applied for probation. One was given a suspended sentence, on condition that he leave the country. What the accused actually were trying to do was unionize the farms workers. What they were charged with was criminal syndicalism. The American Civil Liberties Union proposes to appeal the case. Director Forrest Dailey says of the situation: “The conviction of these nine Communists and the heavy sentences imposed on six of them are quite in line with the vicious hysteria that marked the red raids in Los Angeles and the ‘Red Flag Cases’ in San Bernardino county. They are the first convictions under the California criminal syndicalism statute since 1924. “California now is running true to form she showed in the I. W. W. prosecutions in the post-war period. She has caught up with the competitors w’ho tried to take from her the glory of being the state where civil liberties are least secure. The American Civil Liberties Union holds that the attempt of argicultural workers to organize and hold meetings for the improvement of wages and working conditions does not bring them within the scope of the criminal syndicalism statute. It sees these prosecutions as an effort to outlaw the Communist party in California. On these grounds the union is interested in seeing the convictions appealed and will lend its aid to that end.” Six of these men may be kept in the hoosegow for more than forty years. Mooney celebrated only his thirteenth anniversary this year. But we must note some improvement. In 1930 California frankly jails men for their opinions. In 1916-17 it was deemed necessary to bring a murder charge into the picture. The "Red Squad” of Los Angeles and its leader, Walter Hines, have replaced the Oxmans and Estelle Smiths.

Gangland Breaks Out Again • Chicago’s gangs do not seem to tame easily. Their latest outbreak marks anew step in insolent daring —the attempt to kill a rival gangster while he was riding in a police squad car, after he had been questioned by detectives in connection with the Lingle murder. The gangster escaped unhurt, but an innocent bystander was killed; and the killing emphasizes once more the fatuousness of saying that these gang wars do not really harm the city since the victims are all gangsters. In this case, a law-abiding citizen, strolling along a downtown street, was shot dead. To be sure, the gangsters didn’t mean to kill him. But the episode show’s clearly how dangerous it is for any city to harbor unrestrained gang warfare in its midst. Tne deaths of the murdered gangsters are not lamentable, of course, but law abiding citizens have a right to look for safety on downtown streets. A peanut vendor died in New Jersey the other day and left an estate of SIB,OOO to two cops. Imagine the good fortune of the police force had he also gone in for popcorn, chewing gum and candy. The Baltimore girl reporter recently engaged to marry John Nicholas Brown, millionaire, certainly can credit herself with the year’s biggest scoop. Mayor Walker might well have said as he pinned the New York City medal on Admiral Byrd for the third time: “We got you the first time.” If they do write a play about Admiral Byrd it ought to be easy to get the drift.

THE cup of the climber of the family tree is filled to overflowing when he finds one of his ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence, for as architects of a world epoch those gentlemen are unsurpassed. a a a The document, now a dim parchment, is kept from the light in a Washington vault to preserve the faint lines, all but obliterated by the impression taken from it to furnish the country with copies. a a a But its consequences are everlastingly written in the wreckage, for those aristocrats in lace and broadcloth wrought for the oppressed of earth and in time their sentences were to turn to flags of freedom in lands unknown. a a a WHILE the tree climber is elated to trace his line back to one of those signers, they were far from elated, and though John Hancock wrote with a flourish, saying: “I want John Bull to read my name without his spectacles,” he knew his signature might become a hangman's rope. _ a a a After his jest he turned and said: “Now we must all hang together,” whereupon Benjamin Franklin replied: “Yes, we must all hang together, or we shall hang separately.” a a a Then Benjamin Harrison, great-grandfather of Indiana's President, added a little mirth. A heavy gentleman, he turned to the slight Gerry of Massachusetts and observed: “It will be all over with me long before you have done kicking in the air.” a a a The vast decision, embodied in the declaration, was reached reluctantly, Jefferson, its author, protesting his desire to live under English rule, if only England should soften the attitude which was driving her brilliant subjects to rebellion. a a a THE debate was bitter, Jefferson writhing under it, but through it all he said not a word, for this master of the pen was no speaker, the eloquence being provided by volcanic John Adams, whom Jefferson called the “colossus of "hat debate.” a a a The most romantic event in history is the death of Adams and Jefferqon only a few hours apart, fifty years from the day when they gave that declaration to mankind: on the Fourth of July. 1826, as the land rang with Liberty's Golden Jubilee, those two immortals went out into the unknown together. Some see in this but a coincidence, but others see the hand of the Master Dramatist. a a a One hundred fifty-four years, only a little way down the pathway of the race, but in those years the race has climbed higher than in all the ages gone and Philadelphia's protest has ripened into the most powerful nation, but with all its power, true to its Washington, its Adams, its Jefferson, its Franklin—the friend of justice, the refuge Os the exile, the prophet of peace.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

New York City Planning Committee Studies District Containing U2O Separate Municipalities. FOUR hundred twenty separate municipalities, spreading over twenty-two counties in three states. That is the extent of the territory for which the committee on Regional Plan of New York and Its Environs is planning. The committee, in existence since 1921, has published its survey in ten volumes. These are summarized in a clear and fascinating manner by R. L. Duffus, well-known journalist, in “Mastering e. Metropolis.” (Harper <fc Bros, publisned the book recently at $3.) The New York planners realize that they must expand the word city beyond its political significance. They feel, and rightly so, that they must deal with a region unified by economic and social conditions. “It will be convenient to use the word 'city,' Decause it is short,” Duffus writes, “but our interest will not stop with the legal boundaries of the City of New York. “Because the influence of the city spills over those boundary lines, we shall expand the term to include what is called the New York Region —that is, all that territory in which people’s ways of living and working are directly affected by the presence of the metropolis.”

Circle THE late Charles D. Norton, father of the New York regional plant project, and the first chairman of the committee, suggested that the New York region be defined by a circle drawn from city hall large enough to include “the Atlantic Highlands and Princeton; the lovely Jersey hills back of Morristown and Tuxedo; the incomparable Hudson as far as Newburg; the Westchester lakes and ridges to Bridgeport and beyond, and all of Long island.” Duffus writes: “This is a good working definition, though as we shall see, it includes some land which is almost virginal as it was on the day Columbus discovered America, and some that actually has lost population during the last one or two generations. “Our 'city,’ viewed in this way, contains 5,528 square miles. It is as large as the state of Connecticut, four and a half times as large as Rhode Island and 250 times as large as Manhattan island —which started all the trouble. “A little more than half of it—--2,887 square miles—lies in New York state; 2,228 square miles in New Jersey, and 413 square miles in Connecticut. “It contains more than 420 municipalities. Its population is about 10,000,000, or more than that of any state, except New York. About one person in every twelve in the United States lives within it. As Paul said of Tarsus, this is no mean city. “More human beings are gathered within commuting distance of the New York city hall than have lived in any similar area since the world began.”

Growth THE interesting record of how New York grew is traced by Duffus. He writes: “New York began, as everyone knows, at the lower tip of the island of Manhattan. If we think over the greatest cities of the world, past and present, we can see that most of them ow’e at least their beginnings to the fact that they were situated on bodies of water over which trade had to pass.” But Duffus points out that the waterways which created New York have been obstacles to its growth. “The Hudson river, the East river, the arms of the bay and Long Island sound, are obstacles which compel us to build ferries, bridges and tunnels,” he writes. “Manhattan’s population had to spread north, during many decades, for the simple reason that it could not spread in any other direction. “The building of the bridges across East river e nabled it to spread east, just as tubes, tunnels, and before long a great bridge will assist it to spread west. “But even with these aids New York could not grow as Chicago has done, by sprawling out until the outward thrust from the center had spread its force. “The city and the neighboring groups of population which have become practically a part of it were hemmed in not only by waterbarriers, but by the ridges between the watersheds. “The ridge of the Hackensack valley, the Palisaides and the crests of southern Westchester and Fairfield counties have obstructed the building of highways and railroads.”

Times Readers Voice Views

Editor Times—lt seems that enough has been said regarding working conditions, but we all have a right to our opinions, although it isn’t best to express them at all times. They say that while Governor Harry Leslie was on his vacation in Florida, he said business was good in Indiana, except a little slack in the mining district. In order to make our Governor's statement true, we’re compelled to say that Indiana is a mining district altogether. Although I know that Governor Leslie isn’t ihe cause of the present situation, he doesi: t know anything about walking the streets hungry. Someone said the census figures showed 2 per cent of the people are unemployed. They should have read two parts, meaning two halves. I’m now employed at beggar wages, not meager, for meager means thin, and I’ve got so thin on my wages that I’m afraid I'll blow away, but that’s not the question. If I knew I was employed permanently at a living wage, I’d be in sympathy with my hungry comrades who are walking the streets, because I’ve had the same experience.

Chills Seem Tied Up With Rheumatism

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN. Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magasine. THE impression has existed among men since they were able to take notice of their surroundings that all factors associated with climate have some influence on the health of man. Noah Webster, who wrote the dictionary, kept careful records for many years of changes in the weather and of associated epidemics. Included in the general subject of climate are such questions as barometric pressure, humidity, temperature. sunlight and rainfall as well as prevailing winds. Enough has already been said in many places, and particularly in these columns, to indicate that sunlight has a definite effect on the body growth and health, and everyone must have a considerat amount of sunlight if he is to maintain his body in the best condition. For years the belief has been prevalent that dampness and drafts are associated with catching cold and with the increase of pneumonia. Expert epidemiologists insist that damp places are associated with

IT SEEMS TO ME ™ D

FOR at least ten years the theaters of America have been afflicted with mystery plays. In the beginning I liked them. That is, the first couple of thousand. But now when a ghostly hand reaches out from she curtains in the haunted house and seizes the heroine by the neck, my chief wish is that the girl shall be choked as quickly as possible, thus ending the suspense and also the play. I am not amused any more when all the lights go out suddenly and some character oil stage screeches in a blood-curdling manner. No longer do I sit with bated breath for the solution which will come one minu’-> before the final curtain. But lest I be accused of indulging in destructive criticism, I plan to do something about this condition. I purpose to write a mystery play to end all mystery plays. The hero will be a dramatic critic. That’s the first novelty. The villain is an actor, which I grant you is conventional enough. The villain wants to kill the hero. All that is set forth in the prolog when the hero writes a review of a new play and dismisses the actor’s performance as “adequate.” The wronged man gains access to the library of ohe dramatic critic and attaches an infernal machine to the reviewer’s typewriter. The contrivance is adjusted in such a way that if the critic touches a certain key he will be blown to smithereens. The villain, although no more (than an adequate actor, is not a fool. Before making his getaway from the library, he delivers a short soliloquy and says. “There now, I’ve looped up that bomb containing 318 pounds of nitroglycerin with the “I” on his typewriter. Just let him get personal and ne's lost.” a a a The Fatal T AS the villain darts down the fire escape, we hear the hero coming up the hail. He is returning after the opening of anew musical revue and he's whistling the song hit from the piece which is a ditty called “Litigating Lizzie—Don’t Try to Two-Time Me.” As he comes in the audience hears him humming: “Each night before I reach your domicile, “Your talk always seems to grow a little breach of promisaL” Removing his coat the hero sits down at the typewriter to dash off his criticism of the show he has just seen. It was advertised as "Manhattan Review,” and naturally the audience is worried because it seems as if the hero will surely blow himself up with his first paragraph. Fortunately, he turns elegant and spells it “Revue.” Suddenly, re pauses and begins to think. What’s up now? The sight of a dramatic critic thinking makes the tension even greater. Fortunately, fft happens to do his thinking out loud and says: “I

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

rheumatic infections, and scientific investigations in various places have established ihe fact that persons who are chronic sufferers with rheumatism can predict changes in the weather by changes or sensations in their joints. People with asthma and hay-fever feel better in dry climates which are somewhat warm and sufferers with chronic diseases report the same conclusion. It occurred to a British investigator to study the relationship of rheumatic diseases to the occupation of mining. These workers spend at least one-third of their lives underground excluded from sunlight in a more or less uniformly warm atmosphere with a high degree of humidity. When they leave the mine at night, they seldom change to dry clothing but proceed home in damp clothing and increase the risk of chills. Os course, a similar factor occurs in workers in other occupations. A study of the available statistics indicated that miners were likely to suffer particularly with a high incidence of one type of rheumatism but they suffered less with acute

must think up something nice to say about Kathryn Monger because I love her.” Everybody in the audience says “Katherine” and shudders. They haven’t learned yet that she spells her name with a “y.” Yet, even with that hurdle past, the poor reviewer still remains in deadly danger. He gets up and crosses the room to look in the dictionary. Every eye follows him. He opens the book at the page labeled “intort—intuitive.” With bated breath, the audience watches as his glance flashes past “intreat,” “intrench,” “intrenchment,” “intrepid,” “intricate.” a a tt Suspense FINALLY, a woman in the third row can stand the strain no longer. In a piercing whisper which resounds throughout the auditorium she explains to her escort, “Poor fellow. Can you imagine, he’s looking up ‘intriguing and he doesn’t know how to spell it.” The whisper breaks into a sob.

ROCKEFELLER’S BIRTH July 8

ON July 8,1839, John D. Rockefeller, American capitalist, who before his retirement in 1911 was regarded the wealthiest man in modem history, possessing a fortune estimated as high as $1,000,000.900, was born at Richford, N. Y. At the age of 14 he moved to Cleveland, 0., where, after receiving a public school education, became a clerk in a commission house. In less than four years he became a partner. With his partner he invested in anew business of “oil refining.” Within ten years this company, under Rockefeller’s leadership, established itself as the most important factor in the petroleum industry in America In 1865 the Standard Oil Works was built at Cleveland and five years later was consolidated with others to form the Standard Oil Company. In forming his company it was found he had created a “trust” in violation of the law and therefore was compelled to dissolve it. He then formed separately openaed companies. Rockefeller devoted much time and money to the promotion of various educational, religious and charitable interests. In 1892 he established the University of Chicago, to which he made gifts exceeding $23,000,000. He built and initially endowed the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research at a cost of $4,000,000. At the end of 1921 it was estimated his benefactions exceeded $500,000,000. . /,

rheumatic fever and infections of the joints than workers in other occupations. The type of rheumatic condition from which they suffer is called rheumatic fibrositis, including chronic pains and inflammations not directly related to infections involving the heart. It seems quite likely that changes in temperature, humidity and sunlight can not be regarded as the cause of rheumatic disease, but that undesirable combinations of these factors may lower the resistance of the persons so that variations may result in a greater likelihood of involment of the tissue by rheumatic fibrositis, and by such conditions as pneumonia. As should be quite clear to everyone, human beings differ one from the other and their response to various outside factors varies. It becomes quite possible, however, to generalize concerning the effects of these factors on a large scale, and experience over a period of years seems to have established definitely the relationship of dampness and chilling to rheumatic disorders and infections in the nose and throat.

There lies the word at the bottom of the page—“intriguing.” The hero copies it out in pencil, spelling it as he goes along, “i-n-t-r-i-g-u----i-n-g.” Here are enough “I’s” to blow up every tenant in the apartment house. He raises the typewriter finger on each hand. Women in the audience stop their ears. What! Lo! A sense of duty flashes across the face of the hero. He shouts, but does not write. “No, I’m damned if I do.” And then he finishes up nis piece with the single line, “The most that could be recorded for Kathryn Monger would be ‘adequate.’” The hero is saved. He has not used a single “I. ’ His review and the play have ended. Os course, it may be that any manager to whom I send the play will demand a happy ending.

M. E. Tracy — SAYS:

In Spite of All We Have Learned About Hygiene and Medicine, We Still Don't Know Who’ll Be Taken Next, or Why. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER prepares to celebrate his ninetyfirst birthday anniversary with a little game of golf and a family dinner. He thinks golf had much to do with the extension of his life. One would be more impressed with the idea, but for the 156-year-old Turk who is about to visit this country, and who never heard of golf. Rockefeller merely has been lucky. Admitting that he has a wonderful constitution and that he has taken good care of himself, he might have been run over by a flivver, or struck by lightning. No doubt some of the 404 persons who died in this country as the result of accidents during the triple holiday would have reached the century mark but for their unhappy fate. a tt tt We Grope in Dark TWENTY years ago, life insurance experts probably would have regarded Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as a better risk than Rockefeller, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is dead at 71. In spite of all we have learned about hygiene and medicine, we still don’t know who will be taken next or why. More than that, we don’t know what we will be doing next year, or why we will want to do it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started out to be a doctor, and was getting along very well when he decided to become an author; as an author he won world wide renown, especially through the creation of the immortal Sherlock Holmes. Then came the great war, carrying his son into eternity along with millions of others, and he became a convert to spiritualism. During the last years of his life he wanted to be a preacher, if not a prophet, but it was too late. Generations yet unborn not only will remember, but honor, him as the writer of very original and very entertaining detective stories. u a a Many Words From Hoover PRESIDENT HOOVER not only calls a special session of the senate but writes a long, dry, detailed message explaining why he thinks the naval treaty should be adopted. This was necessary, he says, “because of the misinformation and misrepresentation which has been widespread by those who in reality are opposed to all limitation and reduction in naval arms.” Excluding the fifty-eight senators who could not help themselves, how many read that message from beginning to end? Including the fifty-eight senators, how many changed their minds because of it? We like to think we are getting something of value out of all the talk, and especially when the President speaks. We like to think so because discussion is the basis of democracy. But to what extent are we interested, in an honest, wideawake way? Most every one has formed an opinion with regard to the naval treaty. In how many cases is that opinion based on thorough study of the subject? On the other hand, in how many cases is it based on an emotional attitude toward war? a a u A Gesture of Hope IN one sense the naval treaty is a specific agreement as to the number and kind of ships our government can build in comparison to England and Japan, and presumes the eventuality of conflict. In another sense it is a move in the general direction of peace, a ge&ure of hope which intrigues us more because of what it promises than what it completes. It is essentially e. compromise between two irreconcilable theories. Those who believe in the old order have yielded just as little as they could, fighting over every inch of ground, appealing to every possible prejudice, taking advantage of every conceivable technicality and waving the flag when they couldn’t think of anything else to do. Those who believe in the new order have yielded many minor points to get the main idea across. The result is that each of the great governments concerned jeopardized certain advantages, has weakened its position by comparison, and has made a lot of pretty talking points for the jingoes. If an iron pipe, with both ends closed, were lowered to the bottom of the sea, six miles deep, what would happen? It would be flattened or crushed by the tremendous pressure under the sea. How old was Jack Dempsey when he won the world heavyweight championship from Jess Willard? Twenty-four.
