Dale Is Sentenced, Yet— DALE, mayor of Muncie, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for eighteen months on charges of conspiring to violate the prohibition law. The prison term is either much too short or entirely too long. For Dale happens to be something more than mayor of a secondclass city. He stands for something far different than the ordinary politician who climbs his way into office b# intrigue, by secret deals with contractors and job seekers, by bargains with senatorial aspirants. Dale has a lifetime record as a fighter for the principles on which this country was founded, against graft in high places and low, against the intolerance of the Ku-Klux Klan, when fighting invited assassination, against domination of government for selfish purposes. A thousand years in the darkest dungeon would be far too short a term for a man who obtained the confidence of his neighbors and fellow citizens by such a record and then betrayed them. That would betray causes as well as people. One second in jail is much too long if Dale is innocent.

* 9 a TT is because the men who know Dale best, w ho have watched his brave fights in the past, still have faith in his integrity and his honesty and are trying most desperately to retain their faith in the federal courts as temples of justice that the sentencing of Dale comes as a distinct and profound disappointment. They feel that a great opportunity to restore confidence in courts has been missed. The theory of the government, on which it convicted Dale, was that he had conspired with a group of bootleggers who had been disappointed in their corrupt efforts to name a different candidate and that after becoming mayor he refused to give them protection. To support this charge the government brought men whom Dale had arrested, men whom he had driven from crime, men who had every reason to hate him. It brought but two men charged with the sale of liquor in Muncie and tried to bolster up a preposterous cause by palpable perjuries concerning trips with a “blond” woman to neighboring cities, a tale that became at once an apparent falsehood when the accusing w-itness attempted to go into details.

SAM, appealing to the prejudice of men by unproved and wholly irrelevant suggestions of sex scandals, is not the most pleasing picture that has been painted of that gentleman, but it was painted by the district attorney in his efforts to convict Dale. Out of the entire list of witnesses against Dale there was but one man who pretended to be a business man. This witness admitted that, a part of a former city administration, he had been a silent partner in a protected gambling house. His grievance and that of his partner, also a witness, was that Dale had Carrie Nationed his joint. No witness suggested that Dale took money. Instead, the acts charged against him. even if they had been true, were trivial as compared to violations permitted in any large city. Not a witness appeared whom the jury would believe in any other place than the witness stand of a federal court. That we have reached the point in this country where admitted perjurers, admitted grafters, admitted criminals, are given credence and men to whom the people have given their confidence are discredited is a serious matter. n * 'X'llE reason may be found in the editorial columns of a leading newspaper, hostile to Dale, which, gloating over the verdict, brazenly announced that the people believe an indictment in the federal court is equivalent to a verdict of guilt, because unsound charges are not brought by the federal government. .Its motives may be found in the fact that in its distorted descriptions of the trial it constantly referred to Dale as the “Democratic mayor.” It gave no political adjectives to the Walbs, the Duvalls, the Jacksons, and other spawn of the Ku-Klux Klan when justice found them. But, unfortunately, the statement as to fche mental attitude toward the federal court is too well founded, due perhaps to the fact that it was true, until the prohibition era, and the corruption that came with it, fumed these courts into police tribunals and government agents into a cheka of secret |>olice. mm* *T was only when the prohibition police entered into our modern life that it became very important to return to the prinliple that innocence is presumed until guilt proved, and away from the monstrous Ihought in public mind, especially in the minds of those selected as jurors, that men are guilty when charged by a political prosecutor and questionable prohibition agents.

The record of the prohibition department for either integrity or efficiency is not such as to cause us to abandon the ancient safeguard of liberty for the new theory of infallibility of the federal court. It will be necessary, if we retain faith in courts, to stamp out such a monstrous violation of our traditions. The truth is that Dale was elected mayor of Muncie by the moral people, not the criminal element. The people turned to Dale because he had made a courageous fight for honesty and decency. They w r ere disgusted with former administrations and tired of protected vice and gambling, tired of boot* leg graft, tired of the graft in public business. Dale was elected because he promised to clean up Muncie—and he cleaned out the foul places and the foul practices as far as humanly possible. • 9 9 sense suggests that had he been corrupt, or had he protected criminals, some protest would have come from Muncie instead from a secret source, not yet identified. The two daily newspapers, jealous of Dale's little weekly paper, which had triumphed over both, would have protested publicly. The ministers of that city would have demanded reforms if Dale had failed to keep his pledges. The unanswerable refutation to the charges against Dale lies in the fact that the decent elements of Muncie made no protest. MUM X HE record of Dale should stand him in stead. He was sentenced to the penal farm for contempt when he was fighting the control of courts by the Ku-Klux Klan. In that fight for a free press, the arrogant klan judge was impeached in the house of representatives and all editors were safer from censorship and tyranny. Dale made history in that case. He may be making history in this. The people may decide that even in federal courts there shall be no suggestion that men are guilty when an indictment is returned. They may get away from the reversal of moral standards for witnesses and once again permit a lifetime of honest and fearless struggle for decency to give some protection against the word of the abandoned, the criminal, the confessed perjurer. * U M TT even may cause the people to think seriously on the desirability of continuing a system of life terms for federal judges, for it is only through judges that the people can find security against the government’s vicious system of prosecutions in prohibition conspiracy cases. It may be decided that the reasons for life terms for judges are outweighed by more important considerations of substantial justice. In the meantime, Dale will appeal. The least he deserves is that public opinion be reserved until the highest courts speak.

The Higher Tribute A Boston lawyer’s proposal to draft ’‘Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the United States supreme court to serve as President” is doubtless a high tribute to this great liberal jurist. But a still higher tribute, we think, will be the feeling of a ho6t of intelligent Americans that Justice Brandeis should remain Justice Brandeis. This feeling may be in part the same that underlay regret for Justice Hughes’ resignation from the supreme court to run for the presidency—a feeling that the nation's highest bench is height enough for any man. But in Justice Brandeis’ case there also is nationwide recognition of the peculiar and extraordinaryvalue of his liberalizing influence in the present makeup of the supreme court. Justice Brandeis, we think, is one of the largest, finest assets of these United States—just where he is.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTEB FERGUSON

AVAST concourse of women from all parts of the country will go to Chicago tl\is month to appear in person before the Republican and Democratic conventions, in the interest of world peace and a reduction of armaments. This Is, I consider, a very sensible enterprise. The gap between the dmands of the people and the action of our government in the peace movement, as the committee points out, is very striking. No one will deny that. It is just as well, therefore, that women, as well as generals and admirals, let politicians see that they, too, mean business when they ask for a lowering of war expenditures and some efforts toward the establishment of better international relations. College students are joining in this demonstration. Voung people demand to be heard on this subject, which is so vital to their future. m m m THE main reason we spend such great sums for war purposes, I believe it generally is conceded, is because the army and the navy keep up powerful lobbies at Washington and work ceaselessly for this purpose. They do so, we will presume, because they believe they thus can best safeguard America's inters ts. Well, most of the rest of us do not agree with that. Not only the ordinary man who has to do the fighting, but practically all our economists.' most of the scientists, educators and industrial leaders. They have said repeatedly that the sure way to have war is to think war, to teach war ,and to act warlike. This is not merely the opinion of an unthinking mob and a few newspaper columnists. It is the belief, arrived at after long study, of the great minds of this country and of th whole world. Why, then, must we longer be subservient to military lobbies?. f

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy Says:

The Bonus March Is Ridiculous, Not Only in Conception, hut in Purpose. THIS bonus trek to Washington I is a pathetic, futile peace of nonsense. One only can guess where the idea originated. It certainly bears no relation to patriotism, or common sense. Have these men forgotten who their relatives and friends are, that they suppose the American people, or congress, can be influenced by such an exhibition? The thing is ridiculous, not only in conception, but in purpose. It merely adds to the confusion and distress already prevailing. It lacks the remotest possibility of success. This is no time for men without visible means of support to march on the nation's capital. The public has enough on its hands without providing food and transportation for such a venture, while congress is in no mood to be impressed, or intimidated.

Frankness Is Need WE have reached a point where frankness is needed. If, under existing conditions, this country takes proper care of its weak and infirm, it will have done all it can. As for able-bodied men, whether they served in the army, or not, they should look out for themselves. The energy required to mobilize and transport 7,000 men from the various parts of this country to Washington could have contributed something of value back home. Every one would be better off had It been devoted to that purpose. We are all wasting too much time and thought on attempts to ' get something out of other people, especially out of the government. * B Government Aid Limited SOME people think that the resources of the government arc inexhaustible. That, of course, is not true. The government has nothing, produces nothing, and creates nothing. What it gives to one it must take from another. Its power to take is limited by the earning capacity of its citizens. That earning capacity has shrunk some 40 per cent, if not more, during the last three years. The governments one hope of doing more for veterans, or any one else, depends on restoration of private income through recovery of private enterprise.

Old Idea Disguised THE demand for a cash bonus, coupled with the idea that inflation was desirable, gave rise to the Patman bill. That bill provides for a cash bonus through the simple process of printing some two billion dollars’ worth of paper money and handing It out to the veterans. It sounds plausible, but it is only the old greenback idea in disguise. If cash for veterans were provided by such method, why not cash for other requirements? Does any one suppose that if we start printing paper money, we will quit short of chaos? u * * Inflation. Is Peril INFLATION is a dangerous adventure. Undoubtedly, a reasonable amount would help, but only if carefully planned and controlled. The proposition of printing so much paper money, not for the commor good, but to meet this or that emergency would establish a precedent which might lead anywhere. If such proposition could be forced through congress by the presence of a few thousand impoverished citizens in Washington, what proposition would lack the required backing? All kinds of paper money for all knids of relief schemes would be forthcoming if that method once proved effective. Millions of people are ready for a trip to Washington if the public will provide food, and transportation, and if tlvi chance of getting money out of the government looks promising.

ALLIED SUCCESS June 4

ON June 4, 1918, French and American troops combined staged one of the most bloody battles since the late German offensive began. Massed west of Chateau Thierry, the allied forces beat off repeated attacks of desperate German troops, who mercilessly were driven "on to Paris.” In these attacks the German suffered severe losses. French and American troops were firmly entrenched, and made no effort to take any ground. The object seemed to be to take such a heavy toll of lives that the German rank and file would lose its morale. English troops, also, had a successful day, recovering Thillois, southwest of Rheims.

Do fish sleep? Fish are unable to close their eyes, and do not sleep in the ordinary sense of that word as applied to mammals. According to the United States bureau of fisheries. experiments with special apparatus indicate that fish are more active at certain times, and that the periods of inactivity, which are variable in degree, may be comparable to sleep in the sense of physiological rest.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Some Drugs Help to Curb Epilepsy

This Is the second of two articles by Dr. Kishbcin on cpllcpsv. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Ilvgcia, the Health Magazine. IN an epileptic attack there is nothing immediately necessary, except to prevent the patient from injuring himself or from biting his tongue. Powerful sedatives may be administered to induce rest and to prevent exhausting seizures. Emotional excitation may bring on an attack and patients must avoid such stimulation. The attitude of people who surround the patient who has epilepsy is of the greatest importance in maintaining normality. There should be an attitude of cheer and hopefulness, rather than one which causes dread and fear. As soon, as possible, the Intelligent patient should be given some

IT SEEMS TO ME v "KT

IDO not like the municipal administration of the city of New; York; the climate of Manhattan; frequently is deplorable and the 1 noise excessive; but how glad I am to be back home after even a single week of exile! The notion that travel broadens one just doesn't work in my case. The more I see of cities of the ; plain and by the lakes and in the mountains, by just so much does my, provincialism increase. It is bad manners and the mark of the ignorant to cry the wares of your own town in foreign market places. But I can’t help it. I find it impossible not to be snooty to Chicagoans and condescending to Clevelanders. That is silly. After all, it was not their fault that they happened to be born in such out-of-the-way spots. Nor was it a matter of my own decision first to see the light of day in Brooklyn. One should accept his gcod fortune humbly and pretend to be enthusiastic about Michigan boulevard. n n u To Gain Proper Perspective i 'T''o make a proper test of any I X alien community, one should settle down and live among the natives for at least a year. Judgments based upon one night at a hotel or a glimpse from the train window are necessarily fallacious. But in my own case it is too late for such experimentation. Time is fleeting. I do not think that either Toledo or I would be the gainer if I gave a year. That is, if Toledo cared to accept the offer. And suppose I devoted a full twelve months to residence in Chicago and found at the end of that' time that it still was just Chicago. That would only lead to bitterness, recrimination, and possible internal complications. Thd present status of things is far better. If I sneer at a city or a state, and the state or the city happens to hear about it, an obvious rejoinder is within their power. The aggrieved community has but toj say, "But what does he know about j it?” For that I have only the feeble ! answer that I know what I like. Once as the result of a long Pullman day through the wheat fields I expressed the printed opinion that Kansas was not so much, as watched from a club car. Some loyal citizens resented this snap judgment, and one went so far as to prepare a little book enumerating the beauties and other advantages of his homeland. But we were both right. I spoke only as a tripper and not as a trained investigator. I suppose it might be quite possible for a stranger within our gates to ride in the subway from the Battery to the Bronx and still think very little of us. But that, I believe, can hardly be true of any who survey us from a bus roof or the elevated structure.

understanding of his trouble, but this Should be done in such way as to prevent the feeling of despair. There are now many drugs which are useful in lowering the number of attacks. Many of these drugs, taken constantly in large dosage, may bring about skin eruptions, digestive disturbances, or dullness, so that they must he administered with care. Most of the patent medicines sold as cures contain large amounts of dangerous drugs. The patient thinks he has been benefited because his attacks are less frequent, whereas he actually may be harmed by continuous use of the preparation. Some years ago it was shown that fasting was of aid in diminishing the number of attacks. Then it was found that the use of a diet called the kctogenic diet brought about a state in the body similar to that brought about by fasting.

Can’t Really Mean It IDEFY even the most ardent middle westerner to stand in the center of any of our bridges and still say with all sincerity that he wouldn’t take New York as a gift. To be sure, in the case of turning over the city to a visitor in that way, I think it only reasonable that certain concessions should be made for the new owner. I certainly would meet any stranger half way if he said, ‘Till take your skyline, but I don’t want Jimmy Walker.” Os course, I’d try to dicker a little, but I would understand the point of view. I myself am a New Yorker who thinks the city could make a fine bargain by trading Jimmy for $25 and a left-handed pitcher. Our mayor who makes the money go never has seemed to me the typical New Yorker, although he frequently has been hailed as such. It is true that when Mr. Walker was stationed officially in Albany we saw a great deal of him here in New York. It is only since he became mayor that his globe trotting and cosmopolite activities commenced. But one may not bar from mem-

Although I don’t quite agree with you in some things. I will say that you generally consider both sides of the question. For instance, the soldiers’ bonus. Being an ex-service man, I probably was a little prejudiced against your articles, written by Talcott Powell, and have wondered where he was hiding during the war, and considered very seriously quitting The Times, but after considering the matter I 'cotgd see where you at least were trying to be fair, so I changed my mind. I was reading an article in the Star the other morning written by John Miles. I wonder if he was really sincere in that belief. For one thing if he will show any town with a population of 8,000 where the law is enforced by one policeman. I’ll eat my hat. He is a great deal like some more of our leading drys, including W. C.

A kctogcnic diet provides a lowmineral intake, the removal of water from the body, a change in the bacteria rs the intestines, and a mild acidoLi. All these factors seem to be important in lowering the number of convulsions. It has been found advisable, particularly in epilepsy in children, to develop diets which provide a fair amount of food, but which are ketogenic in character, and which at the same time lower somewhat the water intake. Such children also must be given yeast or yeast extract, orange or tomato juice, and cod liver oil to provide the necessary vitamins. With proper control of the diet and water intake, with rational physical and mental hygiene, a child with epilepsy can today be kept in fairly satisfactory condition.

Walker is more or less an outlander because he knows this town of his so imperfectly. I would like to see something of the O. Henry quality in every one of our executives. I mean, a passion for the nooks and crannies, a caliph-like curiosity about New York entire. I do not think any very complete portrait of the town can be done under the title of "Manhattan From a Limousine Window.’” And surely there are things both grave and gay and problems very pressing which are not apparent to diners in the Central park casino. Jimmy Walker knows the New York of big hotel banquets, corner stone layings, opening ball games, first nights along Broadway. He knows the high spots. Indeed. he has made some of them, but there is more—far more—within our streets and alleys than is dreamed of in his philosophy. iCopvriKht. 1932. bv The Times!

ation, who have all gone on record for repeal, are not more politically powerful than the dry organizations? It is funny the way the fanatical drys who drink wet come out with that line of bologna about the eighteenth amendment being put in the Constitution legally. Why, it’s the dirtiest railroaded preposition that ever became a law. The prohibition law was conceived during the war, when people were in an emotional state and were willing to do anything to win the war. It was for the duration of the war, which was all right, but when the armistice was signed and a few of the pussyfooters of which the dry organization are composed saw a very nice way of commercializing on this particular thing, they brought it before Wilson, who promptly vetoed it. But the holier-than-thcu brethren, having a majority of dry voting but wet drinking congressmen, who were afraid to use their own minds, passed it over his veto. The results have shown who was right. Talk about the Ku-Klux Klan being a graft, it surely was petty larceny compared with this prohibition farce. Things never will be stabilized until something is done about this abominable law.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Child's Habit of Identifying Himself With Animals May Rr Inheritance From Ani cicnt Pre-Human Ancestors. \ CHILDHOOD trick is being studied by one of Americas best known scientists. He is Dr. Ales Hrducka, famous anthropologist of the Smithsonian institution, who is studying the habit of children of identifying themselves with animals. The intensity with which some children enter into this game makes Dr. Hrdlicka think that perhaps it is an inheritance from ancient pre-human ancestors. A few years ago. Dp. Hrdlicka announced the results of a study of more than a decade of children who run on all fours. He collected instances from all parts of the world of small infant, who ran around on hands and legs like small animals. In every instance he found that these children were unusually strong and active. He believes that all infants would do the same if they were sufficiently strong in the months prior to the time that they learn to walk. This running on all fours, he believes. is an inheritance also from i pre-human ancestors. Recently, Dr. Hrdlicka has found that some small children who run ,on all fours identify themselves as animals. The two phenomena, however, are not always found together. MUM Language of Animals IN some instances. Dr. Hrdlicka says, the imitation of animals hv children goes so far that the child seems to speak and understand “the language of animals." imitating their gestures in minute detail. He also finds cases where the children insist upon regarding themselves as animals instead of children. "There are instances of youngsters who for weeks at a time will not respond to their own names, which they know well, but will come immediately when their mothers address them as dogs," he says. "Among loneiy children in particular this form of behavior may develop and continue for a long time. There seems to be a recognition of kinship which passes out of consciousness after early childhood." Dr. Hrdlicka is encaged in collecting instances of these sorts of behavior from all over the world. He is eager to get authentic reports from parents and others in constant contact with very young boys and girls. "There is no reason to believe,” he says, "that these forms of behavior indicate any inferiority. Quite the contrary, in fact, is often shown by the further natural development of the 'animal children.’” • ? In Mud Puddle DR. HRDLICKA describes one rather unusual case reported to him by a scientist who found a •mall boy and a pig wallowing together and grunting at each other in a mucl puddle in the yard of a lonely western farmhouse. The child, who had no human playmates and whose parents were too busy to give him much attention. considered himself a pig, and behaved in every particular like the quadruped," Dr. Hrdlicka says. “The two seemed to understand each other. The boy now is an honor student in an eastern college. "Another child developed a special proficiency at imitating horses. He would render every sound a horse makes with its hoofs, and his parents could not break him of the habit for a time. "Still another boy imitated perfectly the bark of every dog in the neighborhood and seemed to have a mutual understanding with the animals.” Here are some of the animal-like manifestations reported by parents, to Dr. Hrdlicka: "Grasping objects from the ground with the teeth while walking on all fours, and carrying them in the mouth as cats carry mice or dogs carry’ balls. “Hoarding shiny pebbles or other small, bright objects in the same manner as squirrels or blue jays. ‘‘Holding a nursing bottle with both the fingers and toes while drinking from it, “A cat. trained to take milk from a nursing bottl", held it in precisely the same way. This seemed the only natural way for the quadruped.”

I can take a drink or let it alone, and there are thousands of people just like me. Whenever you take the profit out of war, you are not going to have any war. The same way with prohibition. Take the money out of the liquor business, and you’ll do away with a lot of crime conditions. You'll have the American people in a more satisfied frame of mind, their morale will be improved greatly. and indirectly you will be giving the farms a market for their crops at a fair price, which will make conditions better for every one. At the same time, the government will be getting revenue from the liquor business, which would do away with a great deal of this nuisance tax, and help end this depression. TEMPERANCE.
