Get the Newberry Issue Clear
THE Newberry scandal is growing day by day.
That it is hurting is shown by the distribution by the Repub
lican Campaign Committee, to newspapers of a long defense of
Newberry written by Secretary of State Hughes, who was New
berry’s lawyer when the United States Supreme Court set aside
Newberry’s conviction by the lower court.
At the time that the Senate voted to seat Newberry it was im
possible to whip a majority into line on a straight-out vote. It
was only after Senator Willis of Ohio had disinfected the mess that
the Senate, holding its nose, could swallow the dose.
What ex-Attorney Hughes says now and what the Senate Re
publicans said (in the Willis amendment) when Newberry was
seated, should be read together at this time.
Mr. Hughes says:
“The plain fact is that Senator Newberry was wrong
ly and most unjustly convicted, and his conviction was
set aside. Endeavor to establish a violation of law on the
part of Senator Newberry completely failed, and ac
cordingly he stood as a Senator duly elected by the State
of Michigan and entitled to his seat in the Senate.”
Mr. Willis’ resolution as adopted by the Senate said:
“The expenditure of such excessive sums in behalf of
a candidate, either with or without his knowledge and
consent, being contrary to sound public policy, harmful
to the honor and dignity of the Senate, and dangerous to
the perpetuity of a free government, such excessive ex
penditures are here'by severely condemned and disap
proved.”
The “Newberry issue” at this time is not whether Newberry
should he in the penitentiary or in the Senate. The issue is
whether Newberry’s presence in the Senate violates “the honor and
the dignity of the Senate.” The Senate said it did —and then
seated him.
Lloyd George’s Prize Goat
THE goat’s a joke to most folks, but not to the double dd and
double 11 Welshman. During the thousand years that he
was harassed and pressed by Roman, Saxon, Dane and Norman,
defending himself and his race from extinction in his own Cam
brian hills, his crag to crag companion by day and night was the
goat: and his food, too, in time of need.
Naturally the Welshman grew to love the hardy and coura
geous animal that showed him the way to new fastnesses and
that sustained him when hunger came. For centuries Britain’s
Welsh soldiers had their own regimental goats, dearer to them
by far than the British flag. At the battle of the Alma the gayly
caparisoned goat of the Welsh Fusileers, prancing proudly through
the smoke and bullets, led his Welsh boys up the heights into the
teeth of the Russian guns, and then over them.
You needn’t wonder that David Lloyd George was proud to
win first prize for his goats at the West Surrey fair.
Expansion of the Races
TT/HEX the statement is made that such peoples as the Hin
▼ V dus, Japanese and Chinese must have room to expand,
most minds are struck by it as a demand for justice in the dis
tribution of the lands of the earth.
But no error could be more plain, when it is once examined.
What they are asking for is quite another thing than the thin
ning out of their home populations.
Their home populations cannot possibly he thinned out by emi
gration. The shipping of the world, and no possible expansion of
it. could thin these populations *ut so as materially to reduce
their congestion. Anyway, most of them could accommodate
many millions more by a proper land system, and proper internal
improvements. Even Japan has not reached her limits yet. China
immense areas open to reclamation and irrigation. India is
still in many parts sparsely inhabited.
What the Hindus want in Australia and South Africa; what
the Japanese want in many countries; what the Chinese would
be glad to have almost everywhere, is the right to migrate by
the hundreds of thousands, or by the million, and start new cen
ters for the multiplication of their respective races. The vacan
cies caused by such migrations would be filled at home at once
by their enormous birthrate, and the homeland would be no
better off. But the receiving land would be ruined.
The migrating race would be spread. Would this he a good
thing even for them? The benefits would he very doubtful.
Probably the evils even to them would outweigh the benefits.
Peoples as different from each other as Europeans and Asi
atics cannot live together on terms of economic and social equal
ity. Not that the one is superior to the other. They are simply
different, like oil and water, and cannot mix. Such migrations
as these peoples desire would throw the world into turmoils and
finally the most dreadful of wars.
The remedy for their congestion of population is, first the
utmost development of their homelands, and second, a reduc
tion of their birthrafp. It cannot be solved by emigration. To
look to that for a solution is to apply a remedy which will not
work, and cannot be allowed to be tried on any large scale bv the
great nations of the European world—if they 'have the fore
thought and the power to prevent it.
The New Prohibition
ACTORS on the Keith vaudeville circuit have been ordered to
stop jesting about prohibition. The head of the circuit has
decided that prohibition is no joke. He has further decided'that
politics of any kind is not a joke.
That means that some of our greatest “artists” will have to
revamp their monologues and search new fields for their laughs.
This may be a left-handed wallop at free speech, but it’s an
ill wind that blows nothing but chaff. The grain in this zephyr
is that we may now hear some new jokes.

Head of Times' Washington Information Bureau
Tells Interesting Story About Daily Procedure
By FREDERICK M. KERBY.
Director Indianapolis Times Wash
ington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—Freck
les and Einstein, bonus and butter
.rss, flivvers and fourth dimension
spiritualism and soapsuds, divorce
and shoe polish, colleges and cater
pillars, astrology and Arctic currents
—that’s a fair sample of a morning’s ;
mail from readers of the Indianapolis
Times to your free Washington In
formation Bureau.
"How can I get rust spots off my
white silk dress?” and "who was the
man who shot John Booth?” asks
one reader in a breath: and "Why
is the sky blue?” and "can you tell
me how to make strawberry jam?”
propounds another.
Every hour of the day brings an
array of sometimes puzzling, some
times simple, almost always intelli
gent and always interesting questions
from the Indianapolis Times readers.
How are they answered? • What
kind of things do folks want to
know? Do people really ask all the
; things printed in the paper?—-How
can anybody undertake to answer any
i thing anybody may care to ask? And
all free of charge!
Certainly questions can be pro
pounded by anybody which it is im
possible to answer; In other words
the answer Is not known. "Who was
! was the first person in the world to :
: use fire?” “What Is God?” “What
i is the center of the earth?” are some
: actually asked. An Information bu
reau can only say to such inquiries:
"The answer Is not known.” But the
bureau does offer to answer any
question of “fact or information,” any
question the to which is of
record.
Seldom Fail
It is a large order. Nevertheless,
excluding medical and legal advice
(which, for obvious reasons) cannot
1 be given), the bureau attempts to find
! the answer to any other question. It
j cannot, of course, conduct extended
research for readers: in such cases it
j can and does tell the reader where
he. himself, may obtain the necessray
reference books or sources of infor
| mation to complete the study he has
on hand. For every other question we
find the answer, and If we fail, which
is seldom, we tell the reader why.
How? First, there is in your Wash
ington Information Bureau a care
fully selected staff of research work
ers and specialists, each selected be
cause of peculiar fitness. law, math-:

his mental powers, adopted a. plan
whereby he allowed himself a certain
period for meals, nor would he leave
the table until the expiration of that
time. Thus he gradually slowed up

food. w
The evils of insufficient mastica
tion may be enumerated as follows:
Insufficient use of the teeth and
jaws (hence dental decay as well as
other and worse dental evils); insuf
ficient saliva mixed with the food
1 (hence imperfect digestion of the
; starchy substances); insufficient sub
division of food by mastication
•.hence slow digestion); the failing of
the taste nerves to telegraph ahead,
as it were, to the stomach and other
digestive organs an intimation of the
kind and amount of digestive juices
required (hence indigestion); the over
seasoning of food to make it "tasty”
even when bolted (hence over-eating
and irritation of the mucous lining);
the excessive use of meat and eggs
and like foods, which can be eaten
rapidly with relative impunity, and
the corresponding neglect of other
foods which require more mastication,
like bread, grains, vegetables, and
salads (banco intestinal poisoning).

CHICAGO, Aug. £3. —American la
-1 bor's opposition to the ship subsidy
bill now before Congress is entirely
unjustified by the facts of the case
s they affect the laboring man, ac
cording to T. V. O’Connor, vice chair
man of the United States shipping
board, representing the Great Lakes
section.
The probability that passage of such
a bill would increase American ship
ping and tonnage thus furnishing
more work for shipyard labor, is the
base of O’Connor's contention.
"It is puzzling to me,” O’Connor
said in an interview, “that represen
tatives of organized labor in this coun
try should hesitate one minute to sup
port the ship subsidy bill.
"The bill will naturally increase
American tonnage, and as fast as this
is done, more work will be supplied to ,
shipyard workers in all departments, !(
to the metal trades workers, carpen
ters, boilermakers, and others, and as
ships are completed and put into serv
ice, it naturally follows that additional
