things they do is appear in burnt

not rely on this idea to carry them

The Peter Pan Revue is dis

vues chiefly by the work of male
comedy dancer. Here is fellow with
ideas all his own in this line of

VENUE

Tx LOR, OF the First Baptist
IL Church of Indianapolis, in
his sermon Sunday night. de-
nouneed the general practice of
taking a change Of venue from
Marion County courts in important
criminal cases.
Undoubtedly he hit between the
eyes one of the most fragrant evils
in the administration of justice in
this city. Trials are transferred to
other counties on the slimmest
pretexts not in the effort to secure,
but to hamstring, justice.
OF course, to insure every de-
PENDANT impartial trial there must
be some provision to escape local
prejudice and infamed public
opinion. But in Indianapolis
change of venue is invoked as an
ordinary legal strategem to delay
trial.
In consequence Marion County's
important criminal business clogs
the judicial machinery of courts in
adjoining counties.
Five important. murder cases
from Marion County are now pend
ing in other counties while the
Marion County Criminal Court
fritters away it's time with petty
bootleggers, blind tigers, and speed
appeals.
Perhaps in some OF these murder
cases transfer is justifiable, though
1t is doubtful II in any case there
Is sufficient local prejudice to
preclude fair trial in Marion
County. In most of them the
circumstances of the crime and
the names of the defendants are
forgotten by the public.
Bar associations frequently dis
cuss reforms of judicial pro-
ceedure. Collectively lawyers wor-
ship justice. But until individual
ly they cease to overwork the
change of venue and other tech
nicalities there will be no reform
in judicial procedure and justice
will limp.

TO Sao-ke Alfred SEE:

Chinese Minister to Washington
1.-THE situation in your unhappy country is
! desperate.
But for mutual jealousies the great powers
aside from the United States-would swal-
low China piecemeal.
Even as it is she is threatened with for
eign intervention your people are being driven
and exploited like cattle by foreigners and are
dubbed and shot down whenever they have
the temerity to object.
Piling insult on injury, your foreign ex-
ploiters are flooding the world with their own,
highly colored versions of what is going on de-
liberately poisoning public opinion against you
and making people everywhere believe that
they not you, are the outraged parties.
Frankly, you haven't chance so long as
you continue to play the game this way.
If you want to win you must play your
own game your own way.
What can China do?
China s one best bet now is to do what
Austria did in 1922.
Ruined, virtually down and out, Austria
appealed to the League of Nations for a
~
charge-practically as receiver.
An able Iutchman, named Zimmerman,
without politics. prejudices or axes to grind,
took Austria in hand. And proud Austria, be
it said to her everlasting credit of her own vo-
lition passed laws making Zimmerman S word
law. He trimmed expenses, raised and col
lected taxes, balanced budgets, fred useless
political job holders stabilized currency, re-
formed banking and generally reorganized the
government.
1t hurt, but it saved Austria.
China needs Zimmerman.
No one nation can save China, not even
America. There are too many jealousies No
small concert of powers can save China. There
are too many suspicious. Anyway, China would
not stand for foreign Intervention. That
way means war. Perhaps world war;
But the whole world, acting through a
common agency could save China as it saved
Austria. And while the policy of the present
Administration in Washington is to keep out
of the league, it could not and would not re-
fuse to cooperate with it in the salvation of
your country. That is, if you asked it,
Nor could the league refuse to help if
asked. Even those great powers now pitilessly
exploiting China would have to join in and,
with the whole world LOOKING on and taking
part, they would not dare refuse you square
deal
There is no humiliation in such a step.
Austria stands higher in world opinion today
than she did five years ago. Much
China's humiliation lies in her present
plight 1t lies in allowing her corrupt tuchuns,
her little, sef-appointed war lords, to remain
in control, selling themselves now to Japan
now to Britain, now to Russia, now to France.
now to the highest bidder, whoever he may be.
China's vindication lies in finding and fol-
lowing an honorable way out. She needs to dis
band her mercenary provincial armies and to
create a new, smaller and more efficient ma
tional one. She needs schools, good roads and
better communications. She needs fiscal. Judi

PRIZES STIMULATE
INVENTIVE GENIUS

The simple expedient of offering
prizes of $50 has resulted in the dis
covery that there are 152 amateur in
ventors in England whose inventions
have a commercial value. The Insti-
tute Of Patentees in London offered
prizes for the best inventions in sew
eral classes, and about 500 inventions
were submitted from which four ma
jor prize winners were selected. The
152 inventions will be submitted to
various manufacturers, asserts the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The major prizes were awarded to
the inventors of a kettle with lid
that will not fall off, a portable fire,
rotoscope based on the theory of
relatively for gauging the speed of ma
chinery, and q machine for bending
rods and tubes.
Sir William Grey-Wilson, head of
the institute, is an inventor of renown,
and his house is full of his handicraft.
One Of the most ingenious is in the
chicken house. A few grains of corn
are placed in tin beneath the perches.
When the chickens wake and peck at
the corn spring is released which
opens the door of the house.
