Cuthbertson Could Act Just why it should be necessary for the public service commission to wait for the city of Indianapolis or its citizens to appeal for anew deal in electric rates may be understood by the commission, but not by the people. * The facts are quite plain. The people asked for relief. It was denied by Commissioner Cuthbcrtson on the basis of statements as to earnings made by the company. On the day in which this order was made the company was using a far different set of figures in order to sell securities. Commissioner Cuthbertson is authority for the statement that the figures he acted upon are not those which were presented to prospective purchasers of stocks. it might be expected that under such circumstances Commissioner Cuthbertson would become somewhat angry at the company, rather than at those who brought the facts to light. He might be expected to get busy and try to find out just what the situation is. If the figures on which he refused a hearing of the plea for lower rates are correct, then he has a duty in regard to the sales of stock. If the figures given to prospective purchasers are right, the people should be given •relief from high rates. There would seem to be no escape from these conclusions. Someone needs the protective care of the law. The people should have lower rates or prospective purchasers of stock should have safeguards against imposition. Surely Cuthbertson cannot refuse to act and act quickly. Murray’s Visit Governor William Murray of Oklahoma in announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the presidency says that he will make no trades for delegates. He immediately comes to Indiana in a search for delegates, which may indicate that he has a sense of humor. The voters of this state will have no chance this year to help select their candidates. The politicians in both parties saw to that when they repealed the preferential primary law. The delegates who will cast the Indiana votes in the two national conventions will be selected by the political leaders. They will make the best trades they can. The wishes of the voters will not be registered. The people will listen to Alfalfa Bill. He should have a big crowd at Cadle tabernacle Thursday night. But as far as getting delegates is concerned, he might as well be talking in China or Mexico. Who Gets the Credit? L>hn Garner, Speaker of the house and Democratic presidential aspirant, is fighting a battle of words which the Republican old guard over Wasfiington’s newest issue, “Who gets the credit for saving the country?” Garner’s and Hoover’s backers are mistaken in supposing that the country is interested particularly in their battle. Both sides look rather silly, Os course, it was absurd for the Republicans to claim sole credit for Hoover putting through the financial reconstruction measures. But it is equally absurd for Garner to try to claim all the credit for the Democrats. On the issue of financial reconstruction there has been, quite properly, general co-operation and nonpartisan spirit from all political groups. That was a patriotic duty and no one deserves any special credit for acting in that manner in a national crisis. But on the allied issue of unemployment relief, the Democrats and Hoover Republicans have taken a partisan position together and blocked reconstruction. To date the only real divisions on real issues in this congress have been between progressives on one side and the combined Republican-Democratic conservatives on the other side. The Democrats joined with the administration to kill the wheat relief and the hunger relief bills. The Democratic tariff bill does not lower a single rate In the billion-dollar administration atrocity. The Democratic tax program is as reactionary, or worse, than the Republican. There is room in this country for a conservative party and a liberal party. The Democrats always have claimed to be the liberal party. But their record in this congress, under Gamer in the house and Robinson in the senate, indicates that they are trying to ape the Republican old guard. According to reports, Garner and Robinson are trying to ape the Republican old guard. According to reports, Garner and Robinson are trying to show heavy campaign contributors that a Democratic administration would be “safe” for the vested interests. Knowing that Garner and Robinson are shrewd politicians, we hesitate to challenge their political judgment. But our guess is that their tactics, if continued, will defeat the Democratic party. The Republican party has the conservative campaign contributors and voters in its pocket. In a campaign between two conservative parties, the public probably would pick the old original and defeat the imitator. It the Democratic party has a national future it is as a liberal party. When Gamer, the dictator of the house, can point to Democratic achievements in liberal legislation, when he can show results that would not have been accomplished under administration control of the house—then will be time for Garner to raise the embarrassing question: Who gets the credit? Until that time the Republicans are apt to gain ground and the Democrats lose ground—just as Hoover has gained ground and Gamer s party has lost ground during the last two months. Yankee Czarism The nation that gave 120,000 lives to “make the world sate for democracy” is being asked to adopt the old-world autocracy, defeated by war and revolution fourteen years ago.

tect the 6,000,000 aliens in our midst, these bills are, in fact, just the opposite. They would, if enacted Into law, subject aliens to endless harassment, invite labor intimidation, blackmail and racketeering, and set up a vast spy system among the foreign bom. This movement’s most serious danger is to our own free institutions. An alien registration law would be the camel’s nose thrust into the tent of our liberties. Soon we might have laws for registration of all citizens. America is a nation made up of immigrants. The only 100 per cent Americans are the red men. The record of our treatment of these native Americans is shameful enough. Now shall we, the invaders, turn upon our fellow immigrants with the same savagery? “Inviting Anarchy” Two bills introduced in the early days of congress and allowed to slumber unnoticed in the judiciary committee of house and senate deserve a better fate. Their purpose is to outlaw tapping of telephone wires to obtain evidence for presentation in court. Their passage was made necessary by a five-to-four decision of the supreme court, rendered two years ago in a Seattle prohibition case, in which the department of justice violated laws of the state of Washington to obtain evidence by tapping wires, and was sustained in this practice by the court. At that time Justice Brandeis wrote a stinging rebuke of such practice, which remains, today, an unanswerable argument for correcting by legislation the wrong the courts have inflicted upon American principles. He said: “Our government is the potent, omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law breaker it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. “To declare that in the administration of criminal law the end justifies the means, and to declare that the government may commit crimes to secure conviction of a private criminal, would bring terrible retribution. “Against that pernicious doctrine the court should set its face resolutely.” Hindenburg Is Germany’s Hope Paul von Hindenburg, running for re-election as President of Germany at an age when most men have been long in retirement, is undoubtedly the sentimental favorite in the race—on this side of the Atlantic, at any rate. But to understand the kind of race the grand old warrior has entered, it is necessary to realize that this German election is utterly unlike the ordinary American presidential election. Dark clouds hang over all horizons, and the thunder rumbles ominously. The road ahead has three forkjS, and two of the three lead to revolution and turmoil unspeakable. The Communists—fourth strongest party in Germany in the last election and strongest of all in Berlin —hope to lead the nation down their road. The Nazis—German name for the Fascisti—headed by Hitler, have another road in mind. Von Hindenburg is all for the third one. Until recently, the Recjs and the Nazis had things very much their own way. • The Nazis have cloaked, beneath a platform of irresponsible nationalism, the aims of a reactionary big business clique, which hopes to use the party to crush the labor unions and the Social Democratic party and to give Germany a dictatorship of wealth. Caught between two extreme forces, the ordinary citizen at last has begun to organize into a group known as “The Iron Front.” This group draws its recruits from the leading Republican organization, the Reichsbanner, from the labor unions and the Catholic Center party; and like its opponents it has organized into a semi-military outfit which already owns a fleet of autos, motorycles, and airplanes and which is prepared to match blow for blow with either Red or Nazis if it comes to fighting. The peculiar character of the approaching German election thus becomes apparent. A victory for either Reds or Nazis probably would mean civil war—which in its turn, might mean any kind of catastrophe you care to imagine for the rest of Europe. Only if this Iron Front” group, behind Hindenburg, triumphs can the rest of the world breathe freely. It is probably the old soldier’s last fight. But it is one in which the rest of the world will wish him well. Twelve billion stamps are to bear the portrait of Washington. One way to meet the national deficit would be to sell space on stamps to advertisers. Now that women are openly marrying for money, it at last has been proved that the American dollar goes farther than Cupid’s dart.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A LTHOUGH America stupidly isolates herself from the world court when the peace of nations depends upon some co-operative plan for the future security of men, there has come from American youth a ringing challenge that our jingo patriots must heed. From the lips of James Green of Yale have issued words that, like the shots of the farmers at Concord will be heard around the world. This young man and a French lad, Jean Dupuy, represent the college students of the nations at the Geneva disarmament conference. Harken to what they have to say: “It is our generation that will be called upon to surrender all it considers worth while in life to be targets for machine guns. We shall be commanded to commit suicide. We desire to live, and live at peace. We desire to construct a world society providing freedom, equal opportunity, and security for all.” For the first time in the history of the human race, the voice of motherhood and of youth has been listened to in a discussion of martial problems. This Is a tremendous stride forward. u m WHAT a thrilling spectacle it must have been. that long slow march of the women from fifty countries, as they placed upon the great table in the ball at Geneva their packages of signatures from the wives, mothers, daughters, sisters of men, protesting against war. And how even more moving is the thought of those two lads appealing to the common sense of maturity, pleading for the right to live, asking the simple boon of abiding peacefully with one another. At last the women are in real rebellion against the stupidity of war. At last youth is aroused to the folly of its destruction. With two such forces allied, is there anything that can stop the onward sweep of the peace movement? No. They will usher in anew day of sanity, when men ind women, knowing themselves neighbors in a small world, learn to settle their differences like neighbors, rather than on the battlefield like savages. It may be a long, slow process. But it is beginning to take form and nothing, not even a war, can stop it. And to our eternal shame be it said that of all great nations, America is the wnly one that has not done her simple duty in bringing peace on earth.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy Says:

Japan's Course Represents a Definite Challenge to the World, but the World Can Not Expect Us to Step Forth as Its Champion. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—1 t is not a question of co-operating with the League of Nations in case of a Japanese boycott, but of carrying the bulk of the load. The United States buys about 40 per cent of all Japan has to sell. Under normal conditions, China buys 25 per cent. That leaves only 35 per cent for the rest of the world. There are several nations which could participate in a Japanese boycott without feeling it all. There is no nation with as much at stake as our own. American interests are of such paramount importance in Japanese trade that a boycott would have no chance of success, unless the United States joined it. u m tt The Boycott Trap TF there were any assurance that a boycott would end matters, this government might be justified in making the obvious sacrifice, but no such assurance exists. As Senator Borah intimates, a boycott is likely to result in war. War, if it originated from such a cause still would find us holding the bag, particularly if there were no specific agreement fixing the obligation of other nations. The New York World-Telegram is right in pointing out the danger of walking into such a trap. * * World Challenged JAPAN’S course represents a definite challenge to the world, but the world, with its courts, leagues and peace pacts, can not expect us to step forth as its champion. Even if we were willing to take the risk, it would be a mistake. Any move must be backed by virtually complete co-operation not only to insure success, but to establish the right kind of a precedent. The fact that some nation might be able to stop Japan means nothing. What we want to know is whether the civilized world is ready to combine against Japan, not as an enemy, but as a disturber of the peace. tt tt Another Belgium THE issue is clear-cut. Japan has disregarded treaties as nonchalantly as the kaiser did. Shanghai is being made another Belgium and with less excuse. Premier Inukai disclosed Japan’s theory of this entire operation when he said, “the Chinese are not warriors.” Undoubtedly, he has had some surprises, but let that pass. Japan set out to compel a weak ; people to do what she wanted. Her course would have been far different toward a stronger foe. tt Wrong Course IT goes without saying that Japan had cause to be provoked. Banditry in Manchuria was not only a constant irritation, but was made possible, if not encouraged, by the demoralized condition of China. But Japan could have appealed to the League of Nations, instead of taking matters into her own hands. The fact that she took matters into her own hands warrants the suspicion that she was after something more than the restoration of order. The Chinese boycott which she makes an excuse for this assault on Shanghai was the consequence of her violent meddling in Manchuria, and she must have visualized it as bound to follow such a course. tt tt Stakes Are Big ASSUMING that the issue is understood, what have other nations at stake, why should they interfere and what would interference cost? First, the whole peace movement is at stake. Second, a lot of perfectly good trade is at stake. Third, the entire oriental situation is at stake. Interference would be justified not only by what the great powers have promised China, but by what they have promised each other. As to the cost, it is very doubtful whether Japan can be stopped by a boycott.

People’s Voice

Editor Times—How does Mrs. Ella A. Boole expect the country to progress as long as we are burdened with such a monstrosity forced upon us as we are faced today? She insists that the prohibition law should be enforced. Has it not been so for the last twelve years, and where are we? Worse than before, and yet there are those who insist that we continue the fraud. I am in favor of a real showdown on the question. Let us have a free-for-all say about it and we all will be better satisfied with the awful mess. All the W. C. T. U. and AntiSaloon League advocates are opposed to a referendum and if congress will let us all have a say in the matter, I believe we will do as they have done in Finland and elsewhere as regards the “noble” experiment. J. M. ROTHBAUST. Editor Times —lt does seem strange that at last a supreme effort is being made by the present national administration to put into legislative action some remedial legislation to restore business and alleviate unemployment, somewhat. But why all this last minute haste, after this depression has run along so “nicely” and as we all recall that congress was in session two years ago, about three months after the grand “smash-up” on Wall Street, when stocks fell like lumps of lead. Then would have been the logical time to start the ball to rolling, relative to tide the impending financial cataclysm and its resultant effects. Or a special session of congress could have been called to formulate a program. But, alas! A presidential election is “just around the comer” and the powers that be want to again fool the American public with their political trickery. FRANK T. BAINE,

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Care Is Needed for Baby Teeth

This is the third of three Umel\ articles on Baby Teeth by Dr. Fishbein BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. CHIEF reason for preserving baby teeth is to keep the mouth in the right shape for the second teeth. All the twenty teeth that are called temporary teeth usually are in the mouth by the time the child is 3. Behind the first set is the second set. To have the second set properly developed, the food must be right and the moqth free from infection. The only certain way to control infection is to have dental care when it appears. The most important permanent tooth comes between the fifth and sixth year of life and is known as

IT SEEMS TO ME

A GOOD many of us, upon hearing that George Bernard Shaw ran into a ditch, are going to be for the ditch. To be sure, the facts about the incident are meager. According to the press reports, “When he was called to the telephone today at his hotel, the noted playwright expressed annoyance that the news of his accident had leaked out and refused to discuss it.” The brief cablegram from Cape Town, South Africa, does not say whether Mr. Shaw was having truck trouble or whether he skidded under his own steam and volition. Although I never knew until now that the dramatist was a driver, I have my own theory of the faraway occurrence. It seems to me that Mr. Shaw probably was veering too far to the right or to the left, although the highway was open ahead of him. He always has been a man who would rather die in a ditch than face the ignominy of ever being found in the middle of the road. a a a • Steering for the Rims IF it were true that George Bernard Shaw had lived a life of steering courageously upon the rim of the social order, I think he would be better liked today. Eccentrics generally outlast the preliminary blasts which are directed against them. They fare better in the long run than the conservatives. But sticking to the ruts is not the only form of compromise. Some compromisers achieve the effect of being all things to all men by veering rapidly from the extreme right to the left and back again. It is the ziz-zags in the career of Shaw which have brought him at last to an estate well below that to which his ability entitles him. Whether unjustly or not, a deep damnation has been reserved for the greatest living man of English letters. People no longer leap to their feet to applaud him or to shake their fists in his face. The firebrand has ceased to glow. Many in all camps reluctantly have set down Bernard Shaw within the last two years as one of the most profound of prominent bores, a a a Scarred by Victories HIS weakness lies, I believe, in the fact that he is a bad winner. Contrary to general belief good winning is an art far more rare than good losing. That Shaw could do superbly. As long as he* faced militant and insulting opposition, he kept his chin up and continued to throw punches. There was no stopping Shaw by contending against him. Mob fury merely whetted his joy and his skill in the combat. What he couldn’t stand was agreement. As soon as a' considerable number dropped their weapons and exclaimed in surprise, “Why. the man is right and has been right lor years,” they discovered that Shaw precipitately had retreated from his intrenched position and gone over, bag and baggage, to the opposite trenches. When millions gathered to testify as to the correctness of his contentions, Mr. Shaw was seized with a

4he six-year molar. It comes in six teeth back from the one in the front of the mouth in the center. There are four six-year molars, one on each side of the upper and lower jaws. They should have the most careful attention. Once gone, they are not replaced except with artificial teeth. If they decay and are removed without proper dental attention, the entire expression of the face and of the mouth may r’lange. In the absence of the proper molars, food is not sufficiently ground before entering the stomach Every child should see a dentist following the appearance of the six-year molars. Only a generation has passed since dentists first began to give special attention to the teeth of the child. Now the aubject is so important that many dentists specialize exclusively in cnildren’s teeth. They are

foreboding that probably he was wrong. So great is his distrust for majority opinion that he can not bear to have it anywhere but in front of him and fighting. I suppose his tragedy is similar to that of many of the world’s great rebels. They set their heart and soul upon some change in the way things of the world are ordered and when they get their wish it is accompanied by grave disappointment. The trouble is that no man can fight for a cause long enough without having the fight itself become a little dearer to him than the objective. He hates to go home and put on his slippers and sit in front of the fire. There was more fun upon the barricades. tt Dropping the Pilot COMMUNITIES are ungrateful, but probably sound, in their disposition to depose the leaders of a struggle as soon as that struggle is won.

Who invented the jews harp and how did the name originate? The jews harp originated in Europe several hundred years ago. The date and name of the inventor are not known. Two* origins for the name are suggested: From jaw's harp, the method of playing, and because it was made and sold in England by the Jews.

concerned with seeing that all the teeth are straight, that they fit properly against the opposites in the other jaw, that they do not grind off surfaces that are meant to stand, and that they remain firmly and are not pushed into the wrong positions. With the help of the X-ray, the dentist is able to see that the teeth are sound at their roots. By personal inspection, he finds tiny spots which indicate the beginning of decay. These can be filled and polished and their decay stopped. The additional cost of the X-ray pictures means future saving. Preventive dentistry done early is cheap. Curative dentistry, done after decay has proceeded far, after the teeth have gotten into wrong positions, after some teeth have been lost, may be expensive and can be prevented.

In its actuality it never could have matched the dream which led him night and day as he guided his people out of the house of bondage and through the wilderness.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Knowledge of Ocean’s Effects on Weather Conditions Necessary for Long Range Forecasting. | a*'ANY authorities feel that long- ■*■*■*• range weather forecasting, a ; service which would be worth billions of dollars a year to agriculture and commerce, never will be possible until we completely understand the effect of the ocean upon ! weather conditions. Consequently, ! studies of the ocean are particularly : valuable. There are. of course, other rea- | sons why the study of the ocean if | important. For example, it is of th ! utmost importance to the flshin | industry. Many authorities feel that fishin ! has beer*, conducted too much upo the basis of mining—that is, mere!' j tapping a supply wherever it cabe found. The feeling is that fishing even . tually must be conducted upon th theory of agriculture. One of the important institution ! studying the ocean is the Scripp Institute of Oceanography, of whicl Dr. Thomas Wayland Vaughan i I director. The institute is located a La Jolla, near San Diego, Cal. In a recent lecture, Dr. Vaugha. discussed various problems of ocean ography, among them oceanic cir culation. tt tt a Effect of Sun “CIRCULATION of the waters ii the oceans is due to causes which are fundamentally similar to those that produce circulation in the atmosphere,” Dr. Vaughan said “The main driving force Is derived from energy radiated from the sun, but this energy does not impinge in equal amounts on equal areas over the surface of the earth. “Because of difference in angles of incidence of the sun’s rays, there is greater heating in the tropical and subtropical regions than there is in latitudes nearer the poles. “Because of the inclination of the axis of the earth to the plane of the ecliptic, outside the tropics there is seasonal variation in the amount of heat received in each hemisphere and, consequently, there is summer when more heat is received, and winter, when less heat is received, i “An important factor in directing j the circulation of the waters of the ocean is the rotation of the earth on its axis. This, as generally is known, causes bodies set in motion to deviate tr the right of the direction of motion in the northern hemisphere, and to the left of it in the southern hemisphere. “Another factor that affects th* movements of the waters in th ocean basins is that of the bounn ing continents and variation in r< lief of the ocean floor.” n tt * Atmospheric Influence IMPROVEMENTS of the atmosphere above the ocean surfac; ! exert important influences on thi circulation of the waters of the ocean,” Dr. Vaughan continues. “Radiant solar energy and the deflecting effect of the rotation oi the earth on its axis are largely the causes of atmospheric circulation, in a manner similar to their production of circulation in the water: in the ocean, but, since the density of air is much less than ol water it is more mobile and, therefore, it may flow over the surface of the water and thus drag surface water along with it. “The atmosphere also exerts two other important influences on water surfaces; one is because ol evaporation; the other because ol precipitation. “If evaporation exceeds precipitation the salinity and, therefore the density of the sea water is increased, but if precipitation ex ceeds evaporation the sea water i; diluted and its density is decreased “Differences in salinity and temperature cause differences in thr density of sea water. Unequal distribution of density causes unequal pressures and these produce movements of water masses. “Dynamical oceanographers have developed methods for computing the relative motions of watei masses from their densities and the effect of the rotation of the earth on its axis. “Before beginning a survey of the circulation in the different ocean basins some features needed for understanding this circulation will b< examined more closely.” Dr. Vaughan’s views will be discussed further in Wednesday’s article. What is the name of the instru ment used to measure contraction in the muscles? Myograph. How many miles is it from Nev York to Liverpool, England? According to the U. S. Hydrogra phic office, Navy department, it it 3,707 statute miles by water. What is the value of a United States dime dated 1894 with ‘S' mint mark? The Numismatic Company o’ Texas, Ft.
