Ralston's Plurality Over
BeUeridge Exceeds 10000

Republican incumbents in two Of
fees - state auditor and clerk OF
the supreme court - were running
behind their Democratic opponents,
according 10 returns on the state
ticket which were being slowly gath
cred. William G. Oliver. the pres
ent auditor, had 1O1.62s votes, as
compared to 104,0O1 for Robert
Bracken on the face Of unofficial
figures from 627 out OF 1895 pre-
cincts. Zacharie DUNCAN had nearly
1000 lead over Patrick J. Lynch,
Republican and present clerk of the
supreme court, according to returns
from $50 precincts. The count was
DUNCAN. 1870; Lynch. S9.972.
Returns from about one-sixth or
the total vote in Indiana on the
Office of treasurer, superintendent of
public instruction, supreme court
judge and appellate court judges
showed the Republican candidates TO
have a comfortable margin over
their Democratic opponents.
Republicans Replaced.

ent secretary of state, was nearly
$4,000 votes ahead OF Daniel NJ.
Link, the Democratic candidate. &C
cording 10 figures from ,925 of the

Another move made by the defense

was a motion asking that the indict-
ments be Quashed on the ground
that the grand jury which returned

returns from the 18th congressional
district late last night indicated that
Andrew J. Hickey Of LapOrte. would
be returned to congress by a plural
ity Of approximately 1000 over his
opponent. Miss Esther O'Keefe OF
Plymouth.
With complete reports from St

turns from 81 OF the 60 precincts in
Laporte county Hickey's lead over
Miss O'Keefe was 1857, the total vote

amounting 10 976, as compared with
the plurality Of 333 of Sen. Elect
Ralston over Albert J. Beveridge

any OF the other counties in the dis
trict, she made tremendous inroadS
into the normally big Republican
pluralhies. In 1920 Hickey's plural

Starke county, the smallest in the
district. TO over 5000 each in St. Jo-
seph and Elkhart counties.

a Source of Limited Rejoicing

Those Shipping Board figures Of
water-borne imports and exports
carried under the American flag are
all true, buG there is not quite SO
much cause for rejoicing as a super
Gc.al reading Of them might en-
gender. Our vessels did carry more
Sham half our foreign cargocs, fig
utcd by tonnage in the fiscal year
thet ended Iuno 50. But in that
l3tal are Included traffic from and to
thc lake ports and traffic with tho
carby regions Of Canada, Mexico,
West Indies and Central America.
Our veasels have a natural suprem
aey in this area; it is the offshore.
overseas traffic as to which the ma
tion is concerned. Furthermore, the
figures based on tonnage are de
oaptive, for most cf our careoes are
cheap ones like oil, grain, iron, ore
and sugar. Freight rates are af-
fectcd by the value of the cargo
quite as much as by it's weight, and
a comparison based upon valuation
ewes far justcr notion Of the
success of American shipping in ita
competition with foreign fleets.
Now, Of this transoceanic trade,
expressed in terms Of the value of
cargoes, only 24 per cent is carried
N American bottoms Of this % per
cent 10 per cent is carried in gov
ernment vessels and only 5 per cent
in privately-owned American ships.
Thus the share Of this most impoi-
tant traffic which can be counted a
legitimate possession of American
enterprise is only one-twentieth Of
the total. This fraction is a far
more significant figure to keep in
mind than is the pleasanter figure
Of 50 per cent Of ali water-borne
tonnage stressed by the Shipping
Board.

.Elon r. Brown

A rugged and courageous figure
in the states political history was
the late Elon X. Brown, and his
death will be regretted by every one
who admires sincerity and down
right beliefs in public officer. The
Tribune was opposed to Mr.. Brown
upon specific issues. 1t felt that his
loyalty to his friends and to the
times Of which he was part made it
difficult for him to view fairly the
new proposals that the changing
spirit of the age made necessary.
To this extent it considered his in
fluence upon the Republican party
unfortunate.
But there never was more need
Of independence and courage in
Legislators, state and national, than
to-day. Mere bending to the sud
den gusts of popular will can do
quite as much damage to the cause
Of democracy as can any recalcitrant
conservatism. The honest faith in
his own convictions which Elon
r. Brown possessed is an example
which later and younger politicians
can study with profit. The Tribune
is glad to pay tribute to his stanch
spirit and uuquestioned ability.

Two Par;sinn Heroes

This has been - great year for
the negro in Paris. First tho Con
court academy of litterateurs as
founded the Partisan world of let
ters by giving tho Goncourt prize
for the best novel of the year to
NBatouala," the work of Rene Maran,
full-bloodcd negro, There was
little consolation for the Caucasian
race in this award The father of
Maran was a native OF Martinique,
the mother of Guadeloupe. To be
sure, he was born at Bordeaux,
France, and had gained his African
experiences upon which his book
was based while serving in the
French colonial Offices in Central
Africa. But his book was an out
spoken criticism Of French official
dom and was in effect plea on be-
half of his dark and subject breth-
rem.
Now, on different level of cul-
ture but one hardly less interesting
to the white race, it would seem, and
one for which the white race has
certainly laid down the rules of
competition, Ski, the Senegalese,
pounds his way to triumph. That
large portion Of Paris which was
present seems to have applauded the
result with complete impartiality,
turning against its hero of it's own
color with that cheerful fckleness
which seems to be the trait Of most
crowds without regard to nation
ality.
Is there any moral for the white
man or the black man In America?
The double achievement rather 81
iences those extreme advocates of
white supremacy who assert that the
negro belongs inevitably In a lowly
walk of life. 1t supports those
friends Of the negro who ask that
ne have free chance to develop in
those cases of unmistakable talent
of which Rene Maran is a clear ex-
ample. AS for further conclusions,
the most obvious is that Paris is not
New York and that Mr.. Jack Demp-
sey is very lucky not to live in the
former town.

DIR. Benes on The Little Entente

EduGrd Benes, Prime Minister Of
CEeoHo-StovakiG. one of the foremost
Of European statesmen, contributes TO
''F'o7eign Afatrs' an Interesting visao
Of the meW grouping OF central En-
fopea,s stGtes knoWn os the LITTLE
Entente" He a0T4tes IN part as fol-
lotoa:
The new states which In Central
Europe have taken the place Of the
Hapsburg monarchy owe their creation
to the living will Of the peoples, who
for centuries had been oppressed In
Austria Hungary and who had In vain
endeavored to secure within that state
the necessary conditions 9or free and
full development Of their economic and
cultural life. The revolutionary ac-
tivittes Of these peoples-whether of a
military or diplomatic character,
whether undertaken abroad. side by
side with the Allies, or at home--were
che clear expression of this will, which
could bs acted upon successfully only
becSuse the European war created ths
pre-conditions for new adjustment Of
Europe and because the substitution of
new independent states for the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy was not only an
act of historic Justice but at the same
time in the interests OF Europe gem
orally.
The changes which have thus been
made In Central Europe are, Of couzse,
greater than any which have taken
place in other parts Of che Continent,
An entire great state has been
obliterated from the map OF Europe, an

ancient and mighty dynasty deprived
Of Its power and dominion; frontiers
Of new states have been delimited, and
with their creation there have been
severed political ties and. above all,
economic ties Of no mean Importance.
It Is not surprising that there are
people who regard with skepticism the
capacity Of the new states for inds-
pendent existence and who have doubts
regarding their future destiny. The
question arises whether Europe has
gained by this new adjustment of con-
ditions at her very center. Has the
dissolution of great economic entity,
with vast network Of arteries and COM
munications, and It's severance into
various fractions Isolated from each
other by customs barriers, con-
tributed 20 European development? ?
Has not the creation of new inde-
pendent states sown In the very lap Of
Europe the seeds Of fresh political con-
tlicts, arising on the one hand from a
desire to avenge the revolution in
Austria and Hungary, and on the other
hand from the imposs,bility Of draw
ing exact ethnographical frontiers and
from the fact that more or less con-
siderable racial mfno1ties had 60 be
left in all the states concerned?
1t Is for the policy Of &hs new Cen
trail European states TO supply the
answer TO these questions and to
demonstrate che capacity of the new
constellation FOR existence.
This common policy took a concrete
