LET’S HAVE THE ANSWERS C GOVERNOR MNUTT has met the challenge of the Republican whispering campaign like a man. His open forums, in which he good-naturedly discussed with all comers the most slanderous gossip not only against himself but against his family, have been a smashing answer to his traducers. Those meetings were carefully publicized for days in advance. The Governor allowed plenty of timo to those who wished to question him. When inquiries were not forthcoming from the audience Governor McNutt laughingly eross-examined himself. The net result has been the evaporation of at; dire reports and slimy rumors which busy-bodies of both sexes have been spreading for months. What a sharp contrast the Governor s conduct has been to that of Senator Arthur Robinson! Long before the conventions last spring The Timex asked the senator a series of very pertinent questions. We asked them publicly because we felt that they dealt with matters requiring answers. The result was silence. We asked them again after Li’l Arthur had been renominated and again there was silence. We believe in fair play. Even though we have no respect for the senator's policies and record we do not feel that he should be victimized by unexplained and malicious gossip—if these reports about him are gossip. So once more we inquire: Senator Robinson, what were your relations with D. C. Stephenson, grand dragon of the Ku-Klux Klan and convicted murderer? Senator Robinson, did Stephenson, who once said, ‘‘l am the law,” play-any part in your appointment to the United States senate? Senator Robinson, did you at any time have any understanding, make any agreement or bargain with Stephenson regarding certain things von were to do. or not to do, if he got you this appointment? Senator Robinson, if you had such an agreement what was the precise nature of it? Was it written? Who witnessed it? Have you kept to its terms? Come, come, senator, if Governor McNutt has the courage to answer unpleasant personal questions put to him publicly why should you shrink from doing the same thing? If the answer is “no” to our questions why not say so? Our columns are open to you even though we do think it would be an evil thing for Indiana for you to return to the senate. Are you, whose supporters speak of you as ‘‘fearless,” AFRAID to reply? We are waiting, senator. “WE WANT IN!” ' 1 'HE city campaign is drawing to a close A without a single issue having been devel- <• ( >ed by the Republicans. Briefly, their strategy has been: To contact the underworld with hints of a wide-open town. To solicit the church vote with assurances of a tightly closed town. To promise the job of chief of police, and several other prominent offices, to numbers of people. To attack the present city administration for issuing bonds to pay judgments against the city when these judgments were due to the extravagance of the Duvall administration, Which was the last Coffin-controlled regime. To promise filet mignon and pate-de-foies-gras in the poor relief baskets when they know that the mayor has nothing whatever to do with poor relief. Os course, this is all pretty thin stuff and the voters know it. The real issue of the Republicans is simply “We want in!” The Democrats, on the other hand, are campaigning on the record of Mayor Reginald Sullivan and his associates. He found the city practically bankrupt from the mismanagement of Bass Coffin and not only restored it, but placed its credit in the very top list of American cities. He built up a surplus in the city treasury. This has been almost unheard of in both public and private business during the depression. He restored the good name of Indianapolis so that "The Wall Street Journal,” which cares not a whit for local politics, spoke in the most glowing terms of the Sullivan administration. Hr has conducted the city's affairs so that there has not even been a whisper of graft or misconduct during his whole term. He has reduced the tax bills of the citizens. City government is a business proposition. Cities do not make treaties, set up tariffs, decide broad questions of public policy. They perform certain definite services for the people. When Mayor Sullivan was elected he promised a business administration. He has delivered. What is the sense in switching from such sound policies to the Coffin organization, which made such a mess of the Duvall administration? Is it to be Judge (Promising Walter) Pritchard, amiable and personally honest, but a Coffin puppet; or Judge John Kern, who will keep the city headed in the direction in which Mayor Sullivan has started? The voter, we think, will make the com-mon-sense answer. LETS HAVE CONFIDENCE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT S suggestion that the bankers regain their confidence in the people of the United States might be extended profitably to all groups and organizations in the country. We have spent a good deal of time in the last eighteen months wondering about what this, that or the other group is going to do. Will the bankers stand for this? Will the unions do that? Will the industrialists pl^_

along on such and such a scheme? Will the fanners support So-and-So's program. Will Wall Street stay hitched? Will the railroads play ball? Those are the questions we have been asking. Gazing up at the pitiless heavens and receiving no answer, some of us have managed to develop a pretty fair case of the jitters about it all So many problems, so few answers, so many groups to be accounted for—how are we to comfort durselves amid so much confusion?. The President seems to have suggested the answer. Government, he reminds us, is simply the fusing of all elements in the nation's life. It is the implement through which the common will becomes effective. It does not stand on one side, in opposition to ail these groups; it stands above them, drawing its strength from them and from all citizens jointly. This being the case, it must provide leadership; and the leadership it provides must, in the last analysis, reflect fairly accurately the temper of the great mass of citizens, because when it ceases to do so the citizens invariably get themselves anew government. Over and above all these questions about what the various groups will do, then, there is the question of the temper of the people generally. In the long run the majority sentiment wull prevail. To have confidence in the great majority, therefore, is to have confidence in our future course—and to be dubious about the future is to doubt the good sense, the courage and the fortitude of the people of the United States. Nothing has been done in these very trying years to justify such doubts. The plain citizens of the land have behaved with exemplary patience and intelligence under extremely difficult circumstancs. Once we become fully confident that they will go on doing so, we automatically can restore our confidence in the behavior of the various groups into which the people are divided. WE NEED UPHEAVAL Try AN LUTHER A. WEIGLE of the Yale Divinity . chool told the New Jersey Presbyterian synod recently that the paramount need of the moment is for the fuller education of adults; and in his remarks there is a very sensible approach to the problems of the day. ‘‘Enduring social changes, such as we are attempting,” he said, ‘‘can not be had unless men are willing to change their dispositions. The Christian adult education we need is such a radical transformation that it warrants the name of conversion.” Considering the normal human resistance to any change of mental attitudes, this looks like a large order. But it remains true that in the long run we shall get precisely the kind of social organization that we are mentally and emotionally ready for. If we are to rebuild the world so as to wipe out the old abuses, we shall eventually have to remove from our own hearts and minds the twists which made the abuses possible. 111-BALL WHEN the Union Pacific’s greyhound of the rails pulled into Grand Central station, making the journey from Los Angeles to New York in less than two and one-half days, it had clipped fourteen hours off the transcontinental rail record. The record had stood for twenty-eight years. In 1906 the late E. H. Harriman, then chairman of the Union Pacific, returned from the San Francisco earthquake in 71 hours and 27 minutes. W. A. Harriman, his son and successor, rode in on the streamlined train that broke his father's record. The significance of the two records is that twenty-seven years ago the railroad industry was, by and large, about as efficient as it has been in the last few years. Twenty-eight years ago the railroads had practically no competition. But during the long interim in which the railroads met competition with blind attempts to raise rates and pay interest on heavy capitalizations, the automotive, pipeline and aviation industries have advanced by leaps and bounds. Common passenger autos now race over concrete roads at about the same speed and comfort as ordinary trains. Motor busses, with their cheaper rates, have cut heavily into rail passenger traffic. Motor trucks, making long and short hauls from door to door, have taken freight traffic from the rails. Today, airplanes carry mail, light express and passengers across the continent in about one-third the time of the streamliner’s record run. If the railroads now take advantage of the more efficient operation demonstrated by the diesel engine streamline train, if they modernize their equipment and by new improvements continue to better their services, then the roads can recapture some of their lost business—especially for the long haul. But if they wait another twenty-eight years, there may be no railroads. BOOTLEG INDUSTRIES MINIMUM wage provisions in NRA codes can not survive if a cannibalistic minority of employers are able to continue their practice of farming out hand work in the homes of the poor. It is obvious that a factory owner, with overhead costs and a minimum wage scale, will soon be driven out of business if he has to sell in competition with goods made by women and children working in their own homes for from $2 to S4 a week. That unscrupulous employers in the various needleeraft industries have turned thousands of homes into sweatshops is attested by NRA and labor department officials in New York, Connecticut, Texas and many other states. They have lowered work and wage standards, says Mrs. Herrick, director of the New York regional labor board, until Japanese working conditions “seem quite attractive.” A touch of irony is added to this outrage by the fact that whole families thus employed earn so little that it is necessary for the government to continue them on the relief rolls. Thus do the taxpayers subsidize the chiseling employers. Eighty-five NRA codes prohibit home work. Yet the bootlegging of home-made industrial goods continues on a threatening scale. Unless the NRA's new compliance division and the various state labor departments can stop it, sweatshops will spread throughout every industry in which they get a foothold.

Liberal Viewpoint —BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

W'HILE correcting the proof sheets of “A History of Civilization,” I was struck once more with the ferocity and bigotry manifested in the struggles between the early Christian sects. Most of the heresies of the Early Church turned about minor points of doctrine, but over these, countless thousands fought and bled, and many thousands died. The violence with one group assailed another is well exemplified by the "Epistle of Jude.” In the following words the writer of this book denounces those w-ho departed in the slightest from what he conceives to be the truth: "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran gTeedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear; clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees u’hose fruit withereth without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea. foaming out of their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” Coming along a few centuries we find the Roman Empire, now controlled by the Christian church, cursing those who do not hold precisely to the doctrine of Trinity expounded by Damascus of Rome, and Peter of Alexandria: ‘‘All others we judge to be mad and demented; we declare them guilty of the infamy of holding heretical doctrine; their assemblies shall not receive the name of churches. They shall first suffer the wrath of God. then the punishment which in accordance with divine judgment we shall inflict.” a a a TT happened that at the same time I was look- -*■ ing through my copies of the "New Masses” and was struck by the similarity in the psychology’ to that manifested by the early Christian enthusiasts. One prominent writer in this journal assaulted the reviewers in the New York Times Sunday literary section as "white guards.” assigned to assassinate any books favorable to Soviet Russia. * Whether this charge is correct or not, certainly it is only fair t.o recall that, after the famous exposure of the news published on Russia in the Times which was brought out by Walter Lippmann in the New Republic, the Times has published more valuable and authentic material on Russia than has appeared anywhere else in the English-speaking world. But for Walter Duranty, many thousands of Americans would be entirely illiterate with respect to the Russian situation. But when this critic sails into the Times reviewer, John Chamberlain, and denounces him as a weak “straddler,” this is a little too much. Mr. Chamberlain is known best for his book, “Farewell to Reform,” which is a very critical summary of American progressivism and liberalism in the last generation, and a forthright relinquishment of any hope in reformist programs. Mr. Chamberlain has gone as far to the left as any open-minded realist could be expected to go, and the fact that the New York Times features him as a reviewer is a remarkable testimonial to his tolerance and appreciation of high ability. a tt tt EVEN more reminiscent of the diatribes of the old heresies w T ere the remarks of Mr. S. Snedden in reviewing the anthology by Alfred Bingham and Seldon Rodman, “Challenge to the New Deal.” Tills book is a sweeping criticism of the New Deal, and its contributors constitute most of the brilliant left wing specialists on American civilization today. Yet, because they do not jump when Moscow sneezes, Mr. Snedden denounces them and their type in language which matches that of the author of the Book of Jude: “It has been a matter of note that some of the cleverest and most influential enemies of the working class have been prepared for their careers by a taste at the Marxian spring. The 'little knowledge’ of these renegades has indeed turned out a dangerous thing—for the masses. “Whatever the reason, the modern type renegade prefers to continue as a ‘revolutionary’ rather than undergo public conversion to the faith of the enemy, but by these same signs—‘independence’ and ‘Americanism’—ye shall know him. "Asa revolutionary, he must, of course, raise up anew group to embody his message. And his main source of recruitment will be those who have already set out on the road to the left. Somewhere this side of the logical goal of these leftward travelers—which is of course in this country the American section of the Communist International—our Scylla-renegade will take up his station to snap up the unwary.” So long as the American radicals stick to back-stabbing in their own ranks as their great indoor sport, the American Bourbons can sit pretty with few grounds for fear.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

WOMEN leaders close to the administration are mobilizing their forces to back Mrs. Roosevelt in her drive to have Mrs. Caroline O’Day elected as representative-at-arms from New York. One symptom of this feminine activity in behalf of Mrs. O’Day's candidacy is seen in the visit here of dynamic Miss Josephine Roche, recent gubernatorial candidate in Colorado, and the only woman coal mine operator in the United States. Miss Roche (having been defeated in the Colorado primaries), has now come to Washington to confer with Mrs. Roosevelt, Senator Costigan of Colorado, and Assistant Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman. Not all these conferences concern Mrs. O’Day, but the White House confabs point in this direction. Actively going from office to office, Miss Roche has been “making tracks” through official Washington. It is regarded as likely that she will play an important part this winter in the capital's political and social circles. a a a Minister Leonard axel astrom, busily eating sardines, could not be disturbed the other day to learn that a successor has been appointed envoy to Washington. The new minister is Eero Jarnefelt, whose appointment was announced in Helsingfors and cabled here. He is reported to be an able diplomat. skilled in his profession and eager to come to the United States. Retiring Minister Astrom is known as “the penguin of the diplomatic corps,” partly because of his fondness for sardines and partly because the cut of his morning coat and white waistcoat lend him a certain resemblance to the Antarctic bird. Bland, blond, massive Envoy Astrom moves slowly but certainly thorugh the mazes of Washington diplomatic circles. He seldom entertains, likes the movies, and prefers a good book to a cocktail party. He hardly ever has been known to utter a single word about politics, economics or finance. a a a WALTER FOOTE, recently appointed American acting consul general in Batavia, Dutch East Indies, is planning to sail for his new post aboard the President Harrison from New York on Nov. 15. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Foote, and their dog, Caesar. Caesar is one of the best known dogs in diplomatic circles, ranking second to none—not even Tobias, the black water spaniel of Ambassador Augusto Rosso of Italy. W’ord came from Batavia that five dwarf kangaroos were living in the garden of the consul general. Foote wrote a special letter, saying: “Please get rid of the kangaroos. Caesar and kangaroos don't mix.” The kangaroos have been turned out. , Consul-General Foote will receive a degree of Ph. D. from American university by diplomatic pouch. NOTE—Foote was formerly consul in Sumatra (Caesar's birthplace). His present trip will be by way of Cuba, the Panama Canal, San Francisco, Honolulu. Kobe, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Manila, Singapore.

(Timet reader are invited to express their views in these columns. Make pour letters short, to all can have a chance. I.imit them to 150 words or less.) a a a NEW DEAL DECLARED DOMINANT ISSUE By Benjamin A. Osborne. For the benefit of my present and future critics permit me to state my political status in the campaign. I have no greater love for John W. Kern as an individual than I have for Walter Pritchard; in my opinion both are amiable men; both are in earnest in their appeal to the people. The fact that one is a Democrat and the other a Republican does not in any way prejudice my mind against either. In supporting the party of John W. Kern I do so because the party is pledged to uphold an ideal in w’hich I, too, believe, whereas the party of Walter Pritchard is pledged to destroy that ideal. I have no personal political ambitions; have no political job, have asked for none and am not now aspiring to any. The New Deal is the dominant economic and political issue in this campaign. The people of Indiana are called upon to decide between the old deal of Hoover and the NewDeal of Roosevelt without regard to political opinions and racial differences. There is neither north nor south, white nor black. The voter is asked to decide whether he believes in the liberty of the rugged individual to make more money and accumulate more millions or the right of the forgotten man of milder and less rugged individuality. to make a living _ for himself and family. The purpose of the New Deal is beyond criticism; those who have criticised have attacked methods of procedure being used to gain its objective. Republican critics seem to think that the old deal methods of Hoover should be used to accomplish the New- Deal objective of Roosevelt. The old deal methods sought first to take care of the big fellows in the hope that these big fellows might let drop from their tables a few crumbs to the forgotten mass; the result was, babies died for want of milk their agonized mothers could no longer provide; children dug deep into cans of garbage in search of food their parents no longer could buy; strong men were . driven desperate and frenzied into, the shambless of crime; whole J families were evicted from their ■ homes and driven into the wide open spaces in search of a shelter ! that did not exist. a a a EXPLAINS RECENT TOLL ON NEW DEAL TREND Bt Gavlord A. WMd. I wish to correct the misapprehension of G. Olvey concerning the method of taking the Literary Digest poll, checking the trend of the New Deal. Three polls were taken this summer. In March and April of this year, 65.000 persons were polled. These results were not published. The second poll, taken in May and June, consisted of 15.000 ballots. The third poll was taken in September, and 65.000 * ballots were sent to the same persons who received the 65,000 in March and April. The comparative results of the # March-April poll, together with the results of the September poll, thus indicate a statistical trend that can not be doubted. The trend is definitely away from the New Deal, i Ail Literary Digest polls have

ALL SET FOR HALLOWEEN

Minton Declared Opposite of 'Yes’ Mcui

By G. A. R. I should like to answer Albert Moore's statement Oct. 5. in which he claims that Sherman Minton is a rubber stamp for Governor McNutt. It seems to me Mr. Minton surely must be able to take care of himself. He has so far in life, inasmuch as he is a self-educated and self-made man. Why should he now let the Governor take his hand and lead him? A man of his caliber and accomplishments couldn’t do that. What did Li’l Arthur ever do but raise hades on the floor of congress, unless it was to raise more when asked to cut his own salary. First, he was dry, until we voted that out. Then he started making promises to the veterans, who, if they are like most of them

been questioned as to accuracy Reams were written to prove that the drys did not vote in the prohibition poll; yet the voters repealed the eighteenth amendment. The same doubts were expressed when the Hoover-Roosevelt poll showed a Democratic landslide, but the election proved the poll exceedingly accurate. The latest Digest poll predicts the defeat of Sinclair in California. Democrats will argue that the poll is wrong. But on Nov. 7, the papers will show the Digest prediction quite accurate. u a URGES VETERANS TO DEFEAT LUDLOW By Georfe B. Secrist. Representative Louis Ludlow repeatedly promised the ex-service men that he would stand by them. For a long time he has posed as the stanch friend of the veterans, yet when the real test came, he voted for the national economy act. Stand by the President—Mr. Ludlow certainly did, but he failed to stand by the thousands of disabled veterans in his district. The national economy act took thousands of disabled veterans off the pension rolls and placed them in th > bread lines and Mr. Ludlow helped to do it. Asa disabled World war veteran, disabled in action in France and one who was penalized by the action of Louis Ludlow, I appeal to the service men and their friends to vote for a man in whom we can place our full confidence, Delbert O. Wilmeth. a b B PUTS QUESTIONS TO GOVERNOR M’NUTT By Arthur G. Gresham. Governor Paul McNutt is so good at answering questions I would like to ask him one; not before a Democratic audience but through The Times. Why is it, Mr. McNutt, the Democratic county committee or state committee has not followed the precedent of all other campaigns and organized an ex-service men's division of these committees? I am not, Mr. McNutt, referring to any would-be organization that exists in name only and composed of silk stocking soldiers or training camp heroes. I refer to an honest organization of the rank and file, service men who saw service. b b a PRAISES LEADERSHIP OF GOVERNOR M’NUTT By Frrrr Buie. Members of the general assembly are bombarded with a multitude of

I know-, will send him not to Washington but back to Ohio, the state from which he came. Mr. Moore is opposing the state administration. What's the matter? Couldn't he get a state job? I do not have much use for these so-called Democrats who can’t take it. Speaking of the 2 Per Cent Club, 1 see no reason why Democratic state employes should not donate 2 per cent of their salaries in support of their party’s campaign, if they care to do so. After all, this is not a compulsory donation. Let’s get together, real Democrats! Keep the “least missed man” away from Washington, and send a real man there to represent Indiana. Vote for Sherman Minton!

various ideas, and it is necessary to determine the source and motive. Without leadership the session would remain at sea until adjournment. For years it has been noted that executive leadership was woefully lacking. The Democratic party cast about for a Governor who possessed those rare and needed abilities. John E. Fredrick was favorably looked upon as supplying the need, he being an experienced and successful business man. Paul V. McNutt was the choice of those who were looking for ability and leadership, and immediately after taking office it became apparent that Mr. McNutt had made a study of and become acquainted with the needs of the people of the commonwealth and that he would use this knowledge and his dynamic personality without fear or favor in the interest of the masses, and promote the needed reformative and remedial legislation. His leadership established a precedent which immediately attracted nation-wide favorable attention. After the first wave of popular approval had spent itself, the backwash brought in the debris of wrecked personal ambitions, and the echo of the protests from the predatory and favor-seeing interests. Politicians, ever eager to develop dissensions, saw in the rubbish of the backwash something to salvage advantageously to their collection of things to be used to promote hatred and generate the spirit of revenge, and we now behold the spectacular actions of the “outs,” who are notoriously distracted by internecine jealousies, appealing to the voters to join the hate brigade. a a a ROBINSON CLASSED AS OPPORTUNIST By B. S. R. Just a reply to V. T. E.'s article in the Oct. 25 issue of The Times. The tone of his article would indicate to any thinking person that V. T. E. never has been a Democrat nor in sympathy with Democratic principles of government; otherwise his attitude toward the senior sen-

ator from Indiana would not be what it is. It certainly is not knowledge of present day conditions which leads him to say that "Arthur Robinson is one of the most capable men in the senate today” when newspaper correspondents in Washington, men who know conditions as they exist today and the attitude toward the fellow senators and toward the important legislation which has been enacted in the last two years vote him “the senator least likely to be missed.” Senator Robinson’s record is one of opportunism, always an effort to capture the popular fancy and appealing to cliques and factions in an effort to obtain votes. •At present his particular appeal is to the veterans and their treatment at the hands of the present administration. Did we hear his voice raised when they were driven at the point of the bayonet from Washington under the Hoover administration? Did he vote I to take a 15 per cent cut in his sal- , nij to assist the government in pavj ing the bonus? Has he any con- ; structive legislation to replace the efforts of the present administration which has reduced the army of the unemployed from 11,000,000 to approximately 5,000,000? Can the senator definitely say that conditions are not better than they were two years ago? The Democratic party, dedicated to the cause of bettering the conditions of all classes, welcomes constructive criticism, but the record of the senator does not indicate any ability to offer that kind and no bona fide Democrat would suggest returning him to the senate as a capable senator. B B B BOTH OLD PARTIES MADE TARGETS By I. M. Different. Election day Is approaching. Working men and women, whether they work now or not, are not satisfied with the present conditions. They do not know how to act on election day; therefore, in the conclusion, they dare vote for Pritchard and Kern. What is the difference in the two old parties’ candidates? Whoever is elected, it will be a victory for the rich and defeat for the poor. A working man or woman who votes for the old parties votes for the continuation of the depression. One party brought us into the depression and the other has kept and will keep us in. The working man and woman and their votes arc good only till Nov. 6; after Nov. 6 their votes are good no more. Why? Because they gave it to the rich's parties; the rich care not whether the Democratic or Republican party wins. The working men and women who voted for them are defeated; they have lost the only thing they had, the vote. What will they get for their votes? They will get many more years of low wages and high prices and no work and no wages.
