BEVER|DGE EXT0[S
RECORD OF PARTY
Praises Harding Administra-
ton at Indiana G. o. P.
Convention.
BY the Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 24.--Indiana
republicans, meeting here today for
their state convention. heard party
leaders sound the keynote for the fall
campaign. Senator Watson present
ed the claim that efficient and wise
management of the nations domestic
and international affairs had brought
about substantial results in relieving
"the evils of eight years of demo-
cratic misrule."
Gov. Warren T. McCray discussed
state issues, calling attention to for
ward looking legislation" enacted by
the last general assembly and also
presented defense of the borrowing
Of funds for the conduct of state
business A. ]. Beveridge, the party s
nominee for United States senator.
was yet another speaker. He praised
the Harding administration, declaring
that America is to be congratulated
on an official record SO splendid" Mr.
Beveridge also complimented the ad-
ministration of Gov. McCray, saying
that the governors superb conduct
of his great office has SO strengthened
our party in the confidence of the
people"
Platform Adoption Tomorrow.
The addresses of the leaders COM
prised the program of todays ses-
sion of the convention. Nominations
for ten state offices will not come
before the convention until tomorrow
and the adoption of platform will
also be left for the second day.
Mr.. Eeveridge said that the con-
vention marked the beginning of "our
harmonious advance toward common
victory in November"
During the coming battle and
thereafter Indiana renIlhlica
will strive in generous rivalry" Mr..
Beveridge said, with OUT brothers
and sisters in other states to
set the highest OF all the standards
leader of our party throughout the
nation. the President of the United
States, in whose admirable admins
tration we take such pride, that wise,
steady patriotic, broad visioned
statesman, that typical American and
faithful republican, Warren G. Hard
Ing; and to him as our captain we
pledge our fealty and support.
1.-The supreme and only immediate
duty at hand in domestic affairs is to
restore American business to full
strength and vigor. The reduction of
government expenses, SO well and ef-
ficiently begun by President Harding,
must be continued until the last trace
of extravaganza is cut out.
1.-The laws of taxation must be still
further revised until they are made
wholly consistent and harmonious
with economic law, SO that capital,
the life blood of the business. may
flow freely through the veins of in
dustry and the arteries of trade.
1T has been the glory of republi-
can statesmen that they were guided
by fundamental principle and never
by shallow eXpediency.
In short, the work to be done for
the revival and permanent health of
American business, and therefore the
general and enduring prosperity of
the American people, involves the OBJ
servance of familiar economic, social
and moral maxims established by the
whole course Of human experience"

Not all the air experts who watch

Good Wishes From King.
A crowd assembled to watch the

These included a black cat and a

Writer Fears Terrors Of New War
In Ulster on Sinn Fein.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1922.
DUBLIN. May 24.-The Ulster gov
ernment has taken up the fight
against the Sim Fein where the
British government left off. 1t is
the fixed conviction of Sir Henry
Wilson. lately chief of staff of the
British army and now military ad-
wiser to the Ulster government. that
fatal surrender, when a little extra
pressure would have enabled him to
wipe out the southern republicans.
Sir Henry has a free hand to carry
out In Ulster the policy abandoned in
the rest OF ireland and will be thor
has British forces of now nearly
twenty battalions to help him, he has
the odds In his favor. The Ulster
government has taken his advice to
force the pace and without waiting
/ to see whether Michael Collins and
Eamon De Valera could offer better
guarantees for a bargain than Collins
alone.
War Declared ON Sim Fein.
War has been declared on the Sim
Fein and all Its subsidiary organiza-
tions. 1t Is now a crime in six coun-
ties to belong to the organization to
the representatives of which Lloyd
George has handed over all Of south
ern Ireland. A clean sweep is being
made of all the leaders. Wilson, like
Gen. MacReady. has approved of
wholesale arrests, and the northern
delegates who came to Dublin for the
Sim Fein convention cannot return
to their homes without risking In
ternment.
The latest move will consolidate
Sinn Fein opinion in the south. Free
staterS and republicans, divided about
the treaty. are equally divided as to
their policy toward the north.
Justines Extreme Action.
The northern government justifies
its extreme measures Of repression
by the violence of tho Sim Fein
campaign 1t has to face. The mur-
der of Councillor Twaddell, NJ. p. fol-
lowing upon bomb outrages and
burnings has terrified the citizens.
Belfast Is like a city in a siege.
Warehouses. factories and stores are

body entering Is scrutinized lest he
should be Sinn Feiner with bomb
ment is supported by a unanimous
parliament, and all look to Gen. Will
son to succeed by the methods which
Gen. MacReady unsuccessfully en-
ployed in the south.
All this means another vicious cir
Gle of reprisals and counter reprisals
and Belfasts roll Of violent deaths
and burnings Is likely to grow. Each
side denounces the violence of the
other and explains away Its own. 1t
is the worst situation within living
memory.

her to still be in the city.
According to Mr.. Lambros, he return

first week in March and found his wife
gone. She took her child, twenty-five
months old, and several shits of clothes.
A younger baby she left at home. About
a month ago Mr.. Lambros received a

coming back, but inclosing no address.
Since that time he has heard nothing

The Letter to Leader Mondell.

The President wants a continuation
of full republican control on Capitol
HILL Wants it, for two reasons.
First, it will promote. as he thinks,
the interests of the country. Several
measures for the rehabilitation of
business have been passed by this
Congress. snd business is showing the
gratifying effects. Others of republi-
can design are on the cards, and an
other republican Congress will be able
to put them over. He will be able to
continue to work satisfactorily in
legislative matters with party friends.
Divided control-a democratic House
would throw things into confusion,
and cause delay.
Second. another republican Con-
gress will promote the interests of the
republican party. The new body will
meet on the eve of the next presiden-
tial campaign. Its record made at the
first session will enter into. and may
prove the principal material of. the
party's next national platform.
In his letter to Leader Mondell of
the House the President champions
warmly the work Of the present Con-
gress. He accepts without reserva-
tions the challenge of the opposition.
A great deal has been done. he thinks.
and the bulk Of it meets with his un-
qualified approval. Hence his argu-
ment that one good Congress deserves
another.
The letter answers the purposes of.
and is intended to be, a campaign
document. 1t will have countrywide
circulation. and everywhere influence
the situation. The Presidents prestige
is high, and having served in Con-
gress himself he speaks with intimate
knowledge of the value Of that depart
ment of the government.

Communism in Berlin.

An outbreak of communism in Ber-
lin occurred yesterday in circum.
stances to forecast a lively campaign
when Germany votes. as it soon will,
for the presidency. A meeting had
been announced by the, League OF
freedom and ORDER" nationalist or
ganization. to be held at large place
of assembly. The communist organs
Sunday morning printed an appeal to
all of that faith to assemble in counter
demonstration, on the assumption
that the league meeting would be of
q reactionary character. In the fight
ing that took place several were killed
and many were injured. The trouble
was augmented by the appearance on
the street Of members Of student
corps. in uniforms frequently seen be.
fore the war. These student bodies
have always been Of the reactionary
type, and their presence in the streets
at such time was an infiaming cause
of radical resentment.
Three parties. broadly speaking, are
in being in Germany today. the radi-
Gals Of varying grades Of socialism and
communism, the nationalists Of q
democratic tendency and the mon.
archists. The democrats whatever
their formal title, are probably the
plurality party. The communists have

games, Will be suppre, sed. But to ef.
feet this It will be necessary for the
courts to aid in convicting and giving
stiff sentences to lawbreakers against
whom sufficient evidence is presented.
Last week in the Criminal Court
severe sentences were meted out to q
number Of. convicted men, mostly
thieves. Stealers Of pocketbooks and
housebreakers were sent to prison for
ten years. and Judge Stafford an
nounced that all such offenders might
expect similar penalties upon convic.
ton while he sat in that branch Of the
court. This announcement should
have a most wholesome effect. THEY
ing will be an extremely hazardous
undertaking in Washington. No
longer under this course will the purse
snatcher and the housebreaker get off
with sentences of few months. Ten
years constitute a long term, even
with allowance for good behavior.
Bootlegging and drug selling are
being practiced in Washington. as in
other cities, by men and women who
are willing to risk prison for the sake
of the large profits to be gained from
such traffic. Doubtless many of those
who have scuttled away in advance of
the police roundup belong to this
crowd. Some of them are. perhaps.
bet peddlers on a small scale. Doubt
less most of them have police records
and know that they would fare i'll in
case of arrest. The city is well rid of
them. even if they stay away only
little while. But doubtless Maj. Sui
Ivan proposes to continue the good
work of housekeeping. and il these
parasites come back they run the risk
Of capture and de ,ortation or punish
ment here. The city is far better off
with these worthless, dangerous char
acterS absent.

Better Business.

Better business is the watchword
of q national organization which opens
its sessions i'll convention here today.
The. better business commission.
consisting Of all the better business
bureaus of this country and Canada
and the national vigilance committee
Of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World. is striving to establish
a standard of ethics in trade advertis-
ing, Il standard based upon truth. 1t
is of vital Importance to the people of
this country that business announce
inents should be sincere and truthful.
1t is of equally vital Importance to
business that it should command the
confidence Of the public. And 1t is
also of Importance to the newspapers
that they, the chief media of COM
munication between business and the
public. should carry in their advertis-
ing columns only fully dependable
statements relating to trade.
4 great advance has been made
along this line during the past few
wears as a result of the activities of
better business bureaus throughout
the country. These bureaus have kept
close watch upon trade announce
ments and trade methods. checking
up on the truthfulnesS of statements
and in some cases assisting in the
prosecution of frauds. In Washington
the bureau has done an invaluable
work. and The Star has been glad to
cooperate in the maintenance of a
standard of advertising truthfulness
upon which it has consistently gov
erned the use of its columns by bust
ness establishments in their communi
cations with the buying public.
Better business" in the sense of
this organizations endeavors. is good
business. II is always good business
10 state only the truth. apart from
any other consideration. Standards OF
value, as we'll as standards of price.
are assets in trade. Departures from
such standards. overstatement in an

ness is founded upon good faith.
~
part of the public toward trade an
nouncement has resulted from the eff
forts of this better business organiza-
ton. No longer are the statements Of
advertisers regarded with suspicion.
The advertising columns of the news
papers especially of those which CO.
operate and hold firmly to the highest
standards of advertising truthfulness,
are read with confidence. Their value
both to the public and the trade is in
consequence increased.
The buying public has direct in
