Indiana Democratic Solons
Leave State to Prevent
Alleged Gerrymander.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
T"\EMOCRATS of the Indiana senate,
taking a leaf from the book of
the Rhode Island Republican seuatons
of last year, ran away from their capi
tal and their state last week to save
their party from what they feared
would be a dangerous gerrymander.
Eighteen of them bolted, and fifteen
took refuge in Ohio where, It was as
serted, they were safe from arrest.
Thus the quorum was broken and no
legislation was possible.
It all started with a plan of the Re
publicans to pass a bill taking Law
rence county from the Third congres
sional district, which Is normally
Democratic, and adding It to the Sec
ond district, which is doubtful. As
Lawrence county is strongly Repubilc
'an this scheme would decrease the
chances of the Democrats for electing
a congressman from the Second dis
trict. So, calling themselves "God's
own minority," they absented them
selves from -the senate session. Wljen
the chief doorkeeper was sent to ar
rest them they locked themselves In a
hotel room, and later, hearing that the
militia was to be "used In coercing
them, they sought sanctuary outside
the state. Only three Democratic sen
ators remained In Indianapolis—one as
a iodkout and two who were 111. War
rants were Issued for the arrest of 16
of them, but the Ohio authorities said
they saw no way In which they could
aid the Indiana Republicans. Nothing
like this has happened In Indiana since
1869 when the Democratic minority In
the legislature resigned so that the fif
teenth amendment to the federal Con
stitution could not be taken up for
ratification.
Later In the week some sort of com
promise was arranged and the bolting
senators started back to Indianapolis.
ABOUT one hundred women, repre
senting a million members of na
tional women's organizations, spent
several days In Washington In a con
ference on ways of keeping the peace
of the world. They are not pacifists,
not advocates of Immediate disarma
ment, but patriots who believe the dan
gers of war may be lessened. The
government, led by President Coolldge
himself, took a lively Interest In the
meeting and he and other high officials
gave the women brief but snappy lec
tures on national defense as a peace
insurance. The President talked to
them on rational reduction of arma
ment, saying:
"About In proportion as the nations
ehall mnke progress In creating effec
tive tribunals for the peaceful settle
ment of International differences they
will And themselves able to lessen
their military establishments. For the
present the most we can hope is to se
cure general acceptance. In good faith
and without reservation, of the view
that whatever armaments we create,
whatever preparations we make, shall
be limited by the reasonable require
ments of security. I do not think we
Bhould set a good example by abolish
ing our army and navy."
Then Secretary of War Weeks dis
cussed Impractical Idealism and prac
tical preparedness, and Gen. Jehn L.
Hines. chief of staff, gave an Illuminat
ing talk on the national defense act
and what Is needed for self protection.
Preparedness, Industrial and military,
were discussed by Assistant Secretary
of Wnr Davis and MaJ. Gen. "Hanson
E. Ely, commandant of the army war
college. Gen. Ely Helmlck gave a les
son on "The Undermining of the Youth
of tbe Nation" and told the women:
"Radical societies that teach social-
Ism, communism and syndicalism, and
that advocate violent changes In our
governmental system, exist In George
Washington university, the University
of Chicago, Northwestern university.
Weilesley college, Bryn Mawr and Vaa
sar."
Rear Admiral W. W. Phelps fur
nlshed tiie sensation of the second
day's session with s series uf startling
statements concerning oil. trade and
Great Britain. Said he:
"The American open door principle
has been invoked to help Ameri
can citizens secure oil concessions.
Wherever ive turn, this principle has
been so successfully combated by the
imperialistic powers and fought by our
own provincial politicians for tempo
rary partisan ends, that American
rights and Interests have been pretty
generally defeated.
"The result Is that the bulk of the
world's oil supply is In English con
trol, and within another generation,
when our own oil pools are drained, as
they are being drained not only by us
but also by England and Japan to
conserve their own oil reserves, your
navy and merchant marine will be at
England's mercy for their fuel. You
will be glad to be allowed to buy your
gasoline at a dollar a gallon.
"One of the primary objectives of
the League of Nations, under the lead
ership of England, is to devise some
policy to destroy the American favora
ble balance of trade.
"Serious differences are brewing
with England over shipping policies.
These differences can be prevented
from developing Into n conflict only by
a strong navy. That America deter
mines to build up a great merchant
marine fleet has against us the
bitter animosity of the English ship
ping interests."
Secretaries Hughes, Weeks and Wil
bur declined to back up the rear ad
miral's alarmist views.
'T* WO'more United States senators
hajce been charged with'lmproper
use of Influence before federal govern
ment agencies and both, denying the
accusations, have asked for full inves
tigation. They are Spencer of Mis
souri and Bursum of New Mexico. The
charge agifinst Senator Spencer is
made by Henry Wood Elliott and has
to do with the renewal of a contract
under which the Fouke Fur company

ernment furs from seals slaughtered at

charges which have been made against
Senator Bursum by Carl Magee. a New
Mexico newspaper man, who was a

van said that his Investigation thus
far had developed nothing of Impor
tance but that he Intended "to see the
matter through."
I~"\EATH and disease made serious
inroads In the ranks of the promi
nent men of the world. Last Wednes
day morning Medlll McCormick, the
retiring United States Senator from
Illinois, was found dead In bed In his
Washington hotel apartment, the cause
of his demise being myocarditis. Well
educated, widely traveled, wealthy and
In many ways brilliant, Mr. McCor
mick had been for years an outstand
ing figure In American political life.
For a time he was editor and publisher
of the Chicago Tribune, and afterward
served In the Illinois legislature, as
congressman-at-large from that state,
and then as senator. As a Progressive
he gave active support to Theodore
Roosevelt, and In the senate he was a
leader of the "Irreconcllables" who
defeated the ratification of the Ver
sailles treaty. Mr. McCormick was
defeated for renomlnatlon last fall by
Charles Deneen. He had been men
tioned as a possible choice for several
diplomatic posts, and It was certain
that his connection with public af
fairs was not to be ended by his en
forced retirement from the senate.
Europe lost by death HJalraar Brant-
Ing, long the leader of the Social Demo
crats of Sweden and three times pre

were Sir Thomas C. Allbutt, famous

Dardanelles against the allies, and Jo

and a leader of English Quskers.
King George of Great Britain Is so

Gutzon Borglum, sculptor of the me
morial, heads one faction and Ilolllns
Randolph, an Atlanta lawyer, the

charged by the memorial association,

ciation claims these were Its property
and says the sculptor and J. G. Tucker,
superintendent of operations at the
mountain, will be prosecuted for de

dismissed because he Is' a Northern

ENGLAND'S foreign office Is said to
have proposed to Premier Herriot
the formation of a quadruple entente
consisting of Great Britain, France,
Belgium and Germany. This, It Is In

the Rhine and also keep Germany from
alliance with Japan and Russia; but It
would mean, too, the virtual abandon

not likely the French will consent to
this.

Railway Success Based on Judicious Combina
tion of 'Deeds and WoMs
By C. H. MARKHAM, in Railway Age.
J i J
RAILWAY success tdfiay and for the future must be baaed upon
a judicious combination of deeds and words. The big thing,, of
course, is performance, for the railroads exist only to give service.
Nothing must he allowed to conflict with adequate service to the
public. The most important problem with which the railroads are now
confronted is that of keeping up with the growth of the country. Recently
they have been doing that fairly well. The record traffic of late 1924 ha#
been handled satisfactorily.
In the .past the amount of business carried on in this country has
increased at a rate greater than that of the population increase, due to the
growing per capita requirements of our own people and the increased
volume of our foreign trade. Nothing is more certain than that the
amount of business carried on will continue to grow. The the
future places upon the railroads an obligation to equip themselves not only
with cars and locomotives, but with additional trackage and other facilities,
including grade revisions, that will make possible the more economical and
more satisfactory transportation of the business offered.
Only the railroad that is making money is the railroad that can afford
to keep its plant up to a standard well in advance of the needs of its
patrons. The net earnings of the railroads will govern their ability to
expand their facilities to take care of the country's growing commerce, but
it is the state of public opinion which first determines the net earnings
which the railroads shall be allowed to realize. It follows, therefore, that
the creation and maintenance of a favorable public opinion is essential to
railway success.' It is in this connection that it becomes necessary for the
railroads to translate their deeds into words.
An important paVt of every railroad's work should be the cultivation
of public jponfidence by (he recital of achievements made and the promise
of progress in the future. That work, I believe, will come to take rank
with the work of running trains. In the final analysis, public confidence
is the fuel that keeps the trains running.
"Everything That Is Came From Something That
Was Before That"
By ERNEST FREMONT TITTLE, in Rocky Mountain News.
Slowly, but surely, the conviction is gaining ground that the fact of
evolution will have to be accepted.
In "Uncle Tom's Cabin," the delicious and irrepressible Topsy
blandly announces that she never had any parents, she just grew, but we
are now in a position to a»Tinn that there is nothing in all the world that
never had any parents. »
Everything that is came from something that was. Everything that
was came from something that was before that, and before that, and be
fore that. No man or mountain, no lion or lichen, no fish or flower was
ever created outright. Everything has evolved, higher forms of life from
lower forms of life, and these lower forms from other forms lower still.
That is the belief of increasing numbers of men who have devoted
a lifetime to the study of the evidence. And so the conviction grows that,
however little we may yet know about the method of evolution, the origin
of species, the fact of evolution will have to be reckoned with by intel
ligent persons. ' /
It Was the Men Who Fought the Revolution Who
Wrote the Constitution
By SENATOR UNDERWOOD, Speech'in Senate.
You must bear in mind that it was the men who fought the War
of the Revolution who wrote the Constitution of the United States, and
one of the battle-cries that they followed on the Revolutionary battle
fields was that taxation without representation* is unjust. Therefore,
when they wrote the Constitution of the United States they provided in
the limitations of that instrument that all bills affecting revenue must
originate in the house of representatives; and why? Because that body
more nearly represented the mass of the American people who pay
taxes. We may today pay a portion of our taxes measured by the standard
of wealth, but we had po income tax in the days of the Revolution. We
collected our taxes largely per capita; we collected them on the food the
man ate, or the clothes he wore, or on some service rendered. Therefore
we placed in the Constitution of the United States a limitation that
provided that if you werq going to tax him the taxing power must origi
nate in the house, primarily representing the mass of the American
people.
"The Rash Idea That in a Few Hundred Years
Man May Become Blind"
By DR. E. F. GLASER, California State Board of Health.
Because so many people now wear glasses, the fallacy has arisen that
the human eye is deteriorating, and one unscientific man has ventured
the rash idea, that perhaps in a few hundred years the human race may
become blind. This is far-from the truth. Just as the average human
life has lengthened so the eyes have become more efficient organs of
vision.
The last census showed a decrease in the number* of blind in the
United States, and the schools for the blind are showing each year fewer
eligible blind pupils. This has been brought about by the great amount
of preventive and educational work, and by better understanding in the
care and hygiene of the eyes—not only the wearing of glasses, but the
proper care and the proper use of the eyef.to keep them strong and well,
and the proper and immediate diagnosis and cure of disease.
Our Belittling the Assistance That France Gave
to the Colonists
By SENATOR DILL, Speech in Senate.
For my own part, I can see nothing to be gained at this time by our
belittling in any way the assistance that France gave to the colonists
in the days of trial in their trouble with England. . I agree with the
senator from Maryland that without the aid of France the Revolution
would have failed or, if not, it would have been prolonged for many years.
Her service and her help to us were almost as valuable as our service and
our help to her during the late war.
Neither can I sec anything to be gained on the part of France by
belittling the assistance that we rendered in the World war to her, for,
aa suggested yesterday, we did help to save her life.
Let me add that I agree absolutely that France has waited all too
long and that she ought to make a proposition for settlement of the debt
and make it now in order that the talk of repudiation may be stopped
for all time.
