•VOTE-GETTERS' WRECKING U. $„ LECTURER SAYS Americans Not Capable of Governing Themselves, Professor Claims. Today the United States needs fewer vote-getters, fewer "organizers of discontent," and more leadership by aristocratic minds, Louis K Anspachfr, Columbia University professor, told Rotarians yesterday in the Claypool. “Seven years after George Washington retired from public life he stated that Americans were not capable of governing themselves," | said Mr. Anspachor in defense of his subject, “Democracy and Irresponsibility.” "The trouble with a democracy | is that it puts the power in the hands of voters and, as a result, j vote getting has taken the place I of political vision,” he stated. The aristocratic minds needed to j do the best job of governing seldom have a chance to be elected he said. But great leaders often are named to the appointive posts! and the Supreme Court is the best; example, Mr. Anspacher asserted, j “We maye be thankful that there are a few appointive offices left to give our best minds a chance to serve,” he said. Praises Beveridge “Your Senator Albert Beveridge was an example of the aristocratic j mind—the type that makes the best leader. With him we should name | such men ns George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Marshall, Charles ! Evans Hughes and Franklin D. Roosevelt,” Mr. Anspacher declared, j "Thomas Carlyle said it was the everlasting right of the foolish to be governed bv the wise. And we find j that whenever we need wide vision ! we instinctively appeal to the aristocratic minds—the men who think i beyond the Huey Longs and Father Coughlins. "It unfortunately is untrue that all men are born free and equal. : In good weather any cabin boy thinks he can sail the ship. The storms produce the leaders. “The League of Nations question \ is not something for the whole, ig-1 norant majority to vote on. You saw i what happened when we all voted j on prohibition. "The trouble is that democracy does not believe in great men. It gives its palm to the vote-getters.” 0, As an example of the nation’s! ‘‘great indoor sport" of passing j laws, Mr. Anspacher told of a; statute now on the books in a Mip- j western state. Hits Multiplicity of Laws “This law' says that when two trains, going in oppositite directions, J botn stop at a station, neither train 1 may move until the other train has cleared the station. Democracy is afflicted by a multiplicity of laws,” j observed Mr. Anspacher. "Political graft enters a country In exactly the same ratio as that country becomes democratized. The j best examples are the United States j and France. The English can not; believe the extent of our graft—it | is unknown in their country,” he! said. “I love my country and I hate to • see it go the full length of utter democratization,” concluded Mr. Anspacher. “I believe in democracy, I but not to the extent where great ; minds can not achieve eminence.! Let us have rule by both democracy j and aristocracy.” Preceding Mr. Anspacher s address \ the new officers of the Rotary Club were installed and introduced. Omar ; i* S. Hunt, new president, received the j gavel from Edwin R. Hisey. Other officers are Ray F. Crom, 1 first vice president; William M. Zeller, second vice president; Audley S. I Dunham, secretary; Gwynn F. Pat- i terson, treasurer, and Robert E 1 Poehner, sergeant-at-arms. ROSCOE ATES TO AID IN ACTOR'S BENEFIT Brooklyn Yaudevillian Stricken With Appendicitis.

We Gnome-All —Sprites, Elfs, Goblins and Pixies, but We’re Afraid That the Police Won’t Know Which Is Witch

✓CHANCES are the police don’t know what they're up against tomorrow night, and it's a civic duty to warn them. They haven’t seen a public enemy yet! The arage age of the public enemy that will be abroad and at mischief tomorrow night is hundreds of years. He's wise, and cautious and smooth. And he's a wretch. The police are probably concentrating on boys stealing gates, and porch swings, so just in case it has slipped their minds this Halloween, it's well to identify for them those who will be around and about.. There are, for instance, the goblins. A goblin is a sprite, usually ugly and grotesque, and with an evil and malicious mind. He has been known to be playful, but that’s only on rare occasions, never on Halloween. They should be picked up. a a a THEN there are the gnomes, always abroad on Halloween. A diminutive being, which inhabits the center of the earth and is partly made of earth so it can move through it like a fish through water, it is especially dangerous when armed with stones. The elves, a branch of Halloween underworld, generally are malicious toward mankind at this season, although some of them are kind to their mothers and love children. Nixies are a water sprite and unless it is raining the police can dismiss them from their minds. But if it is raining, they are known to be dangerous, are given to soothsaying, and are bound to be treacherous. They love music, and can get character witnesses. Pixies, their cousins, are minor fairyland hoodlums, who haven’t much to identify them except that they are prone to form pixy rings which would be just as well not formed, now or any time. a a a OPHITES, more sinister, are ghosts or shades or spirits and should be shunned—except by police. They can do more harm in one evening than a Clean-Up-Paint-Up campaign can undo in a month. But those are relatively tame half-world criminals. Police can pass them up for more dangerous characters, such as demons. Demons are spiritual or supernatural beings holding a place between man and the deities. They're awful. And ghouls, also supposed to be great Halloween gadabouts, are evil beings who rob graves and dispose of the dead when the dead would rather stay where they are. "They are neither man nor woman, They are neither brute nor human. They are ghouls.” a a a WITCHES, traditionally about this season, and well known to all, should be jailed on sight. They practice magic and enchantments, and always have managed in the past to get bail. A bogy is a specter and a hobgoblin is a bogy and a specter is both—a complicated system of aliases that will confuse the most alert and is likely to add immensely to their potential harm of each. A hag is a she-demon, or harpy and usually is heavily armed, and a crone is an ill-natured old woman who thinks every one else is a rascal. But public enemy No. 1 is the ogre. An ogre is a monstrous, hideous giant who lives on human beings, and ought to be shot on sight. Calling all cars! Calling all cars! JAPANESE BEETLE BAN OPPOSED BY STATE Quarantine Area Not Necessary in Indiana, Officials Believe. Indiana officials are to oppose the inclusion of the state in a large Japanese beetle quarantine area at a hearing in Washington Nov 16 according to Virgil M. Simmons,’ State Conservation Director. The proposed quarantine would affect nurserymen and flower growers and would be so strict that automobiles would be stopped at quarantine lines for investigation. Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, said the degree of Japanese beetle infestation in Indiana is so slight that it does not warrant placing the state in the quarantine area.

By Scripps-Ifaward Xcwspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Christy Payne, a retired official of the Standard Oil Cos. of New Jersey, is to be called by the Federal Trade Commission to tell all he knows about the alleged payment of $350,000 in 1917 to the late F. G. Bonfils, whose Denver Post had been opposing anew rate ordinance for natural gas in Denver. Mr Payne is in Florida. It was brought out in testimony before the commission yesterday that a check for this amount was made out by Standard of New Jersey, payable to the late J. B. Luse, treasurer of the Colorado Interstate Gas Cos., for transmission to Mr. Bonfils by messenger. Standard of Jersey is part owner of the Colorado Interstate Gas Cos., which pipes natural gas from the Amarillo fields into Colorado. The commission has not found out when, if or how Bonfils got the money. It was testified that the $350,000 check was cashed at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and that on the same day Mr. Bonfils’ paper began supporting the ordinance, which was adopted.

45-CENT CORN LOAN EXPECTED FOR 1935 CROP AAA Administrator Davis Says Farmers Will Use Money for Livestock. ; By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—The Department of Agriculture is expected ; to fix a 45 cents-a-bushel loan on ; the 1935 corn crop, it was said today. Announcement of the rate prob- ■ ably will be made within the next 48 hours. A decision was delayed pending results of the recent refarendum on a 1936 corn-hog adjustment program which showed a large majority of com growers favoring crop control policies. Administrator Chester C. Davis of the AAA believes the corn loan is a necessary companion to “production adjustment.” Writing to H. C. Aaborg, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture of lowa, he said, “as you know, the corn loan program is recogniz.;d by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration as a valuable device for carrying reserves from one year to another, providing it is coupled with sound production adjustment.” Loans Available After Dec. 1. “In the past, corn loans have proved helpful to farmers as a means of providing credit on corn in storage. In many instances, the plan has enabled farmers to obtain feed supplies and finances for carrying livestock until such time as marketing conditions became more favorable. “This year, we believe, many farmers will use the corn loan to purchase live stock for rebuilding foundation herds depleted by the drought.’’ Loans will be made available after Dec. 1 and will continue until some time in the summer. The 1934 loan expired last July 1. The Commodity Credit Corp. is the agency which officially iends the money, using RFC funds. AAA officials, who actually direct the loan, estimate from $120,000,000 to $150,000,000 would be borrowed by farmers under a 45-cent loan. DR.

Parking Meters Register So-So With Safety Board Some Members Approve; Others Fear Devices Would Clutter Streets.

Safety Board members were divided today on this question—should nickel parking meters be installed in Indianapolis? “As 1 see it. this is the one way of meeting our parking problem," Chief Morrissey said. "Besides, it won't cost us anything."

"We're not sure,” some commis- ! sioners said. "These ‘doo-dads' look like old-fashioned hitching posts with those things you see in taxicabs stuck on top of them. The ‘bloomin' ’ devices will clutter up the streets.” Not only that, but the board has tangled itself in a technical legal problem. If taxpayers buy the meters, how can they be made to pay to use them? How are you going to establish wno has the final authority to authorize that machines be put in? Se.ks Legal Advice Although not completely sold on the idea, Theodore H. Dammeyer, 1 board president, asked members of | the city legal department to settle ; these questions. “I am willing to investigate this proposition,” he stated, "but I believe the City Council will have the final word in this matter.” These devices, identical to those i introduced with a great deal of pub- | iicity in Oklahoma City, Okla., sev- ! oral months ago. were demonstrated at the board meeting yesterday by D. Lee Miller, Oklahoma City, and I S. L. McAfee, Toledo, 0., representatives of the Dual Parking Meter Cos. Each meter times an area of 20 feet, which is marked off with white ; lines, they said. This provides ample room for a car to park. City Offered 1000 Devices The motorist then has to put a nickel in a slot, and a little green marker comes up and stays in view 30 minutes. The theory is, the trafj sic officer will notice when the sign drops down and give the driver a sticker or take his license number. The device does not consist of much more than an alarm clock and a tube to hold nickels. It is painted white. After making a traffic survey the salesmen offered to install 1000 machines with the understanding that the city could pay for them with the revenue collected. Parking garage owners were surprised when notified that the nickel machine idea had reached here. They were not sure just where they ; stood on the question.
