The Long, Long Trail Claude Worley, once investigator for the criminal court, once the pal of Stephenson, once police chief, cringes into a federal court and pleads guilty to evading paying income taxes on an incredible “take” on a small official salary. He comes, tight lipped and silent. He comes under the advice of a partner of a United States senator as his attorney. He tells nothing. He presumably is ready to serve sixteen years in the penitentiary, rather than take the people into his confidence as to where he got the money on which he failed to pay Uncle Sam. He goes to join the others of the nightgowned order who have found their way Into prison cells or dodged them by pleading the statute of limitations. The Klan and the prohibition law made Worley possible. Before the Klan and prohibition, Worley was a rather cheap detective, shrewd but unimportant/ The Klan and prohibition made him the big shot of the town, raised him to the place where he could dictate policies and mingle with the respectable and the important. When Stephenson came into power, it was Worley who stood at his side and brought Coffinism into full flower. It still blooms. It was Worley who knew the possibilities of the prohibition racket and who understood the weaknesses of those who came into office through Stephenson. His hour struck. He was ready. His official salary was never more than that of a good mechanic. He lived like a millionaire. The government, probably by mistake, for the department of justice is not in the full confidence of the people, discovered that Worley had more money than seemed plausible. Could it have been that his real crime was quitting the Republican machine which he once served so well when the nightgown was in flower? At any rate, he pleads guilty to refusing to split his ill gotten gains with the government. There is no pretense that any dollar he received in the years he failed to report was an honest dollar. He is sent to jail for failing to divide graft with the government. It is a long, long trail that he followed. It is the same trail that nearly every man who capitalized hate has gone. There are still a few left, but not many. Stephenson is in a cell for life. Walb is out again. So is Rowbottom. Jackson escaped by pleading the statute of limitations. The others have been voted out of office by the people. Most of them are ostracised and sent to oblivion. But it would be interesting to know just how much Worley made and how he made it. Evidently the partners of a senator who defended him advised silence. The farce of it is that the government prosecutes him for refusing to divide the graft. It does not send him to jail for failing to pay taxes on income earned or deserved. Once again, prohibition and the Klan reveal themselves for what they are. One question remains. Why the silence ? Worley may be guilty alone of evading taxes. He was not alone in illicit revenue. The Wrong Man In 1929, George Growden, 22. was arrested, tried, and convicted of robbery and murder In Romulus, Mich. He “positively” had been identified as one of the assailants of a gas station salesman. Because Michigan has gotten along without the death penalty since 1847, the young man was sentenced to life. Last week three other youths confessed to the crime, completely absolving Growden, who had served 300 days. No one knows how many innocent men are among the 100 or more whose lives are taken by the states each year. We know that Michigan and even other civilized states that have abolished the death penalty are in position to correct their mistakes. The forty others who kill by noose, electric chair, or gas chamber can do nothing about it. They will have committed crimes as serious as any they punish. They will have killed innocent men. Were there no other argument against legal killing, this should suffice for its abolition. The Ceaseless War With all of men’s clever war-making, they have failed to conquer the one enemy that threatens their rights as earth dwellers—the insect kingdom. This year is to be a great year for the insects, the entomologists of the United States department of agriculture say. The enemy shows early and unusual activity. An “unprecedented” flight of alfalfa moths has begun air raids in Colorado and Wyoming. In Georgia the oriental fruit moth has started digging in for the summer. In the wheat belt the hated Hessian fly is abroad, the alfalfa weevil in California, the Mexican bean beetle in the Mississippi valley, the chinch bug in Illinois. But more menacing than all are those shock troops of the pest world now mobilizing in the Dakotas, Montana and Nebraska—grasshoppers, men’s foes since Biblical times. Last summer, in Nebraska and South Dakota alone, more than three-fourths of all crops were destroyed on nearly 5,000,000 acres, resulting in inestimable damage. Now warnings are out that this region is to experience the worst grasshopper outbreak of a half “There will be far more grasshoppers this summer

than last,” says Dr. W. H. Larrimer, federal entomologist. Congress is being asked to \appropriate defense funds. The house foolishly wrote out of the agricultural bill an item of $1,450,000. Now Senators McNary and Frazier and others are trying to add a special emergency appropriation. Insect pests are estimated to cost the United States annually upwards of $2,000,000,000. It is poor economy to relax vigilance. Pitiless Publicity Winds supposed to be tempered to the shorn lambs still blow cold upon the thousands of Americans who lost their savings in what they were led to believe were the shares of sound and honorably conducted corporations. At least these and the public that suffers with them should be to learn by whom they were victimized and how. The senate banking and currency committee has been teaching them. So far the picture isn’t pretty. It of our highly respected bankers and corporation heads entering pools of their own stocks to enrich themselves and friends and relatives; impoverishing their own companies for private gains; helping themselves to huge bonuses; playing their own shares short and leaving their shareholding partners paupers. Unfortunately, much of the infamy of these respectable men of affairs is non-actionable. These “malefactors of great wealth,” as Roosevelt would have called them, will not have to share the fate of lesser crooks. But at least they should be treated to the remedy of publicity. The senate committee needs $25,000 to carry on this summer and prepare for new hearings in the winter session. The few thousand may save many millions in the future. “1 Will Not" It is possible for a forthright man to become nauseated with evasive words, even though those words be spoken in his own political household. Mr. Borah of Idaho is a forthright man. Therefore, while his declaration is a distinct sensation, it is not illogical or especially surprising, all things considered. In reply to the query direct—will he or will he not support Mr. Hoover and Mr. Hoover’s platform in 1932—Mr. Borah says: “I will not.” Those are the words of a forthright man. Had Mr. Borah been a man of the other type, he could have replied as follows: “The Republican party always has stood and stands today for obedience to and enforcement of the law as the very foundation of orderly government and civilization. While the Constitution makers sought a high degree of permanence, they foresaw need of changes and provided for them. “Members of the Republican party hold different opinions and no official or member of the party should be pledged or forced to choose between his party affiliations and his honest convictions. The American nation never in its history has gone backward. Nevertheless, after little more than two years, the federal farm board has many achievements to its credit. The patience and courage of our people have been tested severely, but their faith in themselves, in their institutions, and in' their future remains unshaken. “We favor the policy of giving to the people of Alaska the widest possible territorial self-govern-ment. The problem Is nonpartisan and so must be treated, if it is to be solved. The vagaries of the Democratic house of representatives offer characteristic and appealing proof of the existing incapacity of that party. “We favor the fullest protection of the property rights of the American Indian. We believe that the time has come when senators and representatives should be impressed with the inflexible truth that the first concern should be the welfare of the United States. Without it, election under a party aegis becomes a false pretense.” Mr. Borah, without departing from the language of the platform of the party to which he belongs, could have made that response. But, being a direct man, he answered: “I will not.” Simple words, those. And how symbolic of the desires of a distressed nation in a time like this—a nation wearied with vacillation, sick of bunk. Senator Borah’s declaration is a signal. It sounds the cry of halt to every pussyfooter in politics. It is a warning that our people want as their leader in these yitical years neither a Hoover nor another Hoover. They used to criticise Jimmy Walker for traveling about so much. Now s<jme of them are saying that he should have stayed away all the time.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IP the public can swallow the Republican keynote speech without nausea, it has the digestion of an ostrich. The few “highlights” and “striking sentences” picked out by energetic reporters were platitudinous palaver, and if it had any merit at all, it was as a masterpiece of evasion. Yet one of Senator Dickinson's recommendations may deserve special mention, since it marks what appears to be the absolute zenith of political bombart. I refer to the statement that we can point with pride to the fact that there now are more men in prison for federal offenses than ever before in our history. This is an achievement that should elate us, indeed. The senator might have added also that a good many voters right now would like to join the prison squads, since they eat regularly. Perhaps if the gentlemen keep on, their entire constituency will be in jail. # # * NOTHING could have been more disappointing to the rank and file of Americans than to have the party in power, the party that holds such tremedous odds in the chance of election, give out such inane statements as those voiced by Senator Dickinson in Chicago. Their promises were only echoes of former platform harangues, and their chest thumpings are untimely and ridiculous. Moreover, the people are in no mood to listen to worn-out orations about the tariff and the flag. They are asking for something more meaty than words. That a dejected electorate should have been subjected to such a speech at a time like this is an insult to our intelligence that is almost past bearing. How must more fine would the gentlemen of the G. O. P. have appeared and hew much more gladly would we have responded to their difficult situation, if the keynoter, had stood upon that stage and poured ashes upon his head and in the name of the great Republican party cried, “Mea Culpa,” to its betrayed people 1

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M: E. Tracy Says:

If People Are Going to Govern Themselves . They Must Stay With the lob. NEW YORK, June 21.—Politics has become the business of small, but w r ell-organized, minorities in this country. The vast majority of people do not take active and continuous interest in it. That explains why they often are out in the cold when they want to express themselves. Just now the people would like to express themselves on prohibition. They find it difficult, because they have lost control of the machinery. The noise at Chicago last week was meaningless, for the simple reason that the Republican convention had been packed. It had been packed while the people slept —packed by the clever campaigning of a few workers. There is no mystery about the lack of media for political expression in these United States. We have adequate equipment, but fail to make use of it. u * Masses Are Asleep THE Democratic masses permitted Governor Roosevelt to run away with their organization last winter, consoling themselves with the comfortable thought that he was bound to lose, because he had started too early. Such thought furnished the best kind of alibi for those who were too lazy to bestir themselves. That, more than anything else, made it popular. Now the Democratic masses, or a good portion of them at least, want a different kind of candidate. They just are waking up to the fact that their dumb theory about starting too soon was all wrong. u * st Must Stay on Jobs YOU can’t rim a democracy by getting excited over some question, or candidate, once in four years, or even once in two. If people are going to govern themselves, they must stay with the job. If they do not stay with the job, someone else will do the governing. Just take that idea home to yourself. How much time have you spent studying politics during the last year? Have you spent anywhere nearly as much as you have keeping up with baseball scores, bridge games and comic strips? Assuming that you have talked quite a bit, especially about the liquor question, how much time have you given to the local party organization, not as a worker, but to make yourself familiar with its leaders and objectives? tt n tt* Ignorance Is Appalling IT is doubtful whether the American people realize just how badly they have fallen down on the job of politics. Scarcely half of them vote. No President within the last sixty years has been elected by an actual majority of eligible voters. • Voting is only part of the duty which politics implies. Unintelligent voting generally is worse than no voting, and we have a vast amount of that. Just before election, nothing is more common than to hear voters ask, “What do you know about this or that candidate?” or “Can you explain such or such question?” , St St St Must Think Ahead THE notion that it doesn’t make much difference what kind of a government we have, so long as times are good, was a by-product of the cheap, impermanent prosperity in which we placed such confidence. If the depression destroys it, we will have gained something of value. The kind of government we always have makes a difference —a difference which sometimes can not be perceived until years afterward. Some of the troubles we are facing right now go back to the kind of government we had five, ten or even fifteen years ago. It takes a long time for a bad law, or a shortsighted policy, to work itself out. We still are paying for mistakes made during the war, and will be for the next fifty years. People who would govern themselves not only must think, but think far ahead.

Editor Times—l am “off” the radio. The end came the other night when, dog tired, I twisted the dials and drew the advertising patter of a firm of cheerio undertakers. But, to tell the truth, I already was fed up with the inanities of broadcasting and ready to quit. I do not feel that for the sake of mangled fragments of opera, an occasional symphony or a public address which I can read a few hours later over my morning coffee I longer can stomach the constant society of high-pressure salesmen. I believe that a man’s house is his castle, and decline to allow cheeky fellows on whom I would shut my doors to steal into my home by way of a box of vacuum tubes. Henceforth the merchants who get my patronage will be those who use other channels than the ether to advertise their wares. I claim the privilege of reading or ignoring advertising matter as I see fit. I intend, by my own fireside at least, to choose my company. No agents or peddlers need apply. I shall not receive crooners, saxophone players, soothsayers, cheapjack masters of ceremony or any of the other leather-lunged hucksters of the air. My house no longer shall be a market place. I propose to have peace. I have sold my radio. W. G. Editor Times—lt might be a good idea if you or your readers would look at the Claypool hotel while its face is being lifted with sand-blast. And then go one block west and compare the job with that done on the statehouse with steam. I can’t understand why our great state should go outside its own boundaries, with its many thousands of dollars, to bring a steamcleaning outfit here to work on the Capitol building, when a more efficient cleaning plant is operated right here in our city and at a lower cost. I have no personal nor financial interest in this thing, except as a taxpayer, and I think that all taxpayers would be interested to see their money used by officials to best advantage. C. S.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Naps Valuable for Recuperation

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. SLEEP is rest, no matter whether it is taken in large or small doses. But there are some workers who, due to long hours at the office, find it impossible to get adequate sleep at night. This is where the “nap” comes in handy. Naps are regarded as childish by some people, but they are valuable periods of recuperation for others. These intervals of relaxation, small as they are, serve to rest the tired body and bring back to it some of the energy lost during the day. Often at night, when going home from work on a street car, rapid transit or subway, you notice some man or woman peacefully slumbering. Automatically, before his or her stop is reached, the slumberer will arouse and get off.

IT SEEMS TO ME

IF I were a man of enormous wealth—heaven forbid! I think I would buy thousands of copies of William Z. Foster’s “Toward Soviet America” and circulate them gratis. I think that this is one of the most unfortunate books ever penned by man, and every radical of whatever rank or deviation owes a personal grudge to the leader of the Communists in this country. If Mr. Foster were arguing a complete fallacy, his ineptitude would be just so much velvet. His failure is more serious than that. He succeeds in making true things seem false and almost everything appear tiresome. Without much doubt, here is a sincere and earnest man, and many have held that fervor is half the battle in the business of English composition. Unfortunately, it isn’t so. No matter how deep a man’s feeling, he can not say precisely the same thing in the same language on every other page without losing his audience. There would be no just cause for complaint if William Z. Foster wrote a simple, earthy prose, entirely devoid of literary frills and fancies. But this is not the fact. It is the effort toward airs and graces which makes him such a prodigiously bad writer. st it st Skates on Thick Ice Soviet America” is no JL book to rouse the masses of unemployed men and women to a consciousness of their plight and the need for action. On the contrary. Mr. Foster has bowed his head in the temple of Mammon, and he has striven to write a book which would catch the eye of the literary fellows. His treatise consists of fancy skating on very thick ice. For instance, it is a great pity that anybody ever told William Z. Foster about documentation. He has taken the idea to heart, but gone far astray in its manipulation. Thus I found on Page 18 of his textbook: “The ultra rich see the possibility of long vistas of hungry faces in the breadlines again this winter, and they fear the red specter of revolution ... It is interesting to note that since the beginning of the depression, the yachts of society millionaires (in New York harbor) have been anchored in places where their owners could board them on short notice.” Now this seemed to me an interesting and indeed a sensational statement. And I wondered what well-known observer of social phenomena had noted this extraordinary situation. But when my eye followed the asterisk to the note at the bottom of the page, I was rewarded with nothing better than “Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., in Liberty, Jan. 2, 1932.” it st n Dotes on Excerpts IT seems to be the idea of William Foster that any stigma from any source will do to beat a dogma. The phrase, I may add, is drawn from the works of Philip Guadella, and I must resist this fever for quotation. I put the blame solely upon the back and shoulders of W. Z. Foster, whose volume X barely have but

This little nap, probably not more than a few minutes, and more often less, is enough to pep up a person and drive away that feeling of exhaustion that bears one down after a day of toil. Several stories are told of big business men and the ways they have of taking naps, or “siestas.” A New York captain of industry found that he could refresh himself after lunch by a short “cat nap,” but was at a loss to wake himself up. He solved the problem by holding a bunch of keys in his hand, as he dozed off his grip on the keys would relax. Finally, after he had fallen sound asleep, the keys would fall, the resulting jangle awakening him. The city editor of an afternoon nev/spaper used another system. He found a barber shop and picked out a barber who didn’t do much talking. He W’ent there every afternoon after lunch and got a shave.

quitted. He finds it impossible to go more than a line or two without running in the safety zone of excerpts. And his selection is exceedingly democratic. Close upon the heels of Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. will come Karl Marx or Lenin. At the very outset, Mr. Foster indulges in a fierce denunciation of the capitalist press, which he indicts as prejudiced and unreliable in all ways. And yet no more than a page has passed by before he undertakes to prove his points with “Editorial in New York Times,” “New York American,” “Scripps-Howard papers.” Mr. Foster can not seem to see the weakness in using the self-same witnesses for both prosecution and defense. But the effect of barrenness is even deeper than that. One gets the impression of a man without continuity of thought. He seems to suffer from a sort of literary agoraphobia and dreads the open spaces. When left alone in the middle of the page, William Z Foster calls immediately upon some ally from the left or right to stand beside him and protect his suppositions. *S It st Statistics, Not Bread HERE is a man who has been familiar in his own life and experience with many important labor movements. And yet these first hand contacts are all thrown out of the window. y Not once does he proceed to base a single theory or surmise on what he has known and seen. Always there is the rapid retreat to the library and the printed page, no matter what the authorship. In other words, we have the curious spectacle of a famous field worker throwing aside his own notes and hiding completely behind the conclusions of others. In spite of ample opportunity, Communism has lagged in America because of this same failing in all its leaders. In spite of their announced desire to enlist the workers in their cause, not one of them has taken the

v t ? s da y Ml U. S. PILOTS ON PIAVE ON June 21. 1918, announcement was made that American airmen had joined allied aviators on the Italian front and were highly successful in battles along the Piave. A concentrated Italian counteroffensive in the region of Fagare and Zenson gained ground, and Austrians fell back at Loeson. American troops, engaging in a major battle northwest of ChateauThierry, made further gains on the north side of Belleau Wood. French troops reported gains north of the Ourcq. It was announced that on the Saloniki front, between January and June, twenty-one enemy aircraft were destroyed by British pilots and that thirteen were driven down out of control.

As the barber worked quietly, the editor would doze off, awakening at the finish of the shave. The nap refreshed him for his confining tasks of the afternoon. While some people assert that sleeping in the daytime interferes with their natural slumber at night, physiologists tell us that there is no essential and inherent inappropriateness in reversing the process. This is borne out in the habits of night watchmen, newspaper workers, railroad men, mail clerks, factory men on night shifts, and other workers who toil at night and sleep by day. The nap, or “siesta,” has been the universal procedure in southern countries for centuries. This period of rest, coming after lunch, generally lasts from one to two hours, during the hottest period of the day. By resting during this time, no work is done during the hot spell and the energy stored up during sleep rejuvenates the slumberer.

Balance Between Gravitational Pull and Radiation Pressure Keeps Sun as It Is. r T''o grasp the full importance of J- recent discoveries in tha field of the planets, asteroids, and comets, we must understand something about the nature of the sun and its dominance of the solar system. Accordingly, let us review briefly ’ the known facts about the sun before passing on to a discussion of I the newer researches. The sun is the center around uhich the rest of the solar system moves. According to generally accepted theories, all members of the solar system originated in material hurled forth from the sun. (Some authorities think the comets and meteors may have had a different • origin.) The earth and other members of the solar system are slight in comparison with the sun. The sun is a great self-luminous yellowishwhite, whirling sphere of heated gases, with a diameter almost 110 times that of the earth. The diameter of the earth is 7,920 miles. The diameter of the sun is 864,100 miles. The volume of the sun is so great that it would take 1,300,000 globes the size of the earth to equal the volume of the sun. The sun is a great seething furnace, the intensity of whose heat defies our imagination. The surface temperature of the sun is about 10,000 degrees, Fahrenheit. (It is about 6,000 degrees on the centigrade scale, the one commonly used for scientific measuaements of temperature.) >t ss m Sun’s Interior THE internal temperature and condition of the sun is, of course, a matter of theoretical opinion. Modern astronomers, however, feel certain that the sun does not have a liquid or solid core, but :s gaseous throughout. The central portion, however, is a gas such as we can not conceive of on earth, for it must be a gas under a pressure of millions of tons tc the square inch. It is thought to remain gaseous under this tremendous pressure because of the equally high temperature. Professor A. S. Eddington of Cambridge calculates that the internal temperature of the sun must be about 40,000.000 degrees. According to Professor Eddington, the sun retains its shape and continues to function as a “going concern” because of balance between two opposing forces. One is the gravitational pull of , 0f the sun u P° n each other. This force alone would col- 2 lapse the sun, causing it to liquify and eventually solidify. The other force is that of “radiation pressure,” the outward pressure of the light waves as they make their way to the surface of the sun and so out into space. research has demonstratthafc h * ht exerts a real pressure, and therefore has weight. As Eddington says, it would be just as logical to speak of a pound of light as a pound of iron. Radiation pressure alone would cause the sun to explode and fly to pieces, it is the balance between gravitational pull and radiation pressure which keeps the sun as it is. * St St Regions of Sun r T''HE astronomer has given names A to various parts of the sun. rhe luminous surface visible in the telescope and upon which the sunspots and other markings occur, is known as the photoscope. Above it is 'the “solar atmosphere composed of luminous but nearly transparent gases. The astronomer divides the atmosphere into two regions, a lower one known t as the reversing lajer and an up- - per one known as the chromosphere Surrounding the solar atmos-~ phere is a great outer envelope ot extremely small density, known as the corona which is normally invisible. The reversing layer gets its name , from the fact that it is responsible for appearance, of the black lines in the spectrum of the sun. This laver has a height of about 500 miles. The chromosphere rises to a height of about 8,000 miles. It consists chiefly of hydrogen, helium and electrified calcium vapor. Ordinarily, the chromosphere is invisible because it is “drowned out” by the bright white light from the surface of the sun. a total eclipse, however, the chromosphere becomes visible! Its color is bright scarlet. Rising from the chromosphere are great, bright red tongues of lu-, minous gas, chiefly hydrogen. These great flaming streamers are known as the solar prominences. There are two types. One, known as the quiescent type, maintains its shape for days at a time and then sometimes blows up to heights of 70,000 or 80,000 miles. The second ' type, the eruptive, resembles great fountain-like eruptions. ” Both the sunspots and the solar" prominences serve to remind us that • the sun is not a quiescent object, but a boiling, seething, eruptive furnace, whose turmoil and energy defies human imagination.
