Still Settling Scores

T f the Department of Justice were always
l as vigilant as it is in the case of CASTOR
B. Means, the United States would be a sorry
land for lawbreakers. In the brief year since
Means fit to volunteer certain unhappy
facts concerning Attorney General Daugherty
to the Senate investigating committee, he has
been brought to trial on half dozen charges.
He is now under sentence to Atlanta peni-
tertiary for participation in a New York rum
ring. Next week he will be brought to trial in
Washington on a charge Of forging the sigma
ture of Senator Brookhart to a letter addressed
to himself
We hold no brief for Means. If he is
guilty of any crimes, let him be punished We
have feeling, however, that had Means not
appeared before the Senate committee, he still
would be out of trouble
A former intimate of Daugherty, of Jess
Smith, of William j. Burns, and former spe-
cial investigator for President Harding, Means
had attained the reputation of the Govern
ment s "super- detective
He got to point where he knew too much.
Apparently, his record was such that criminal
prosecution was possible whenever the proper

cation would be less striking if other cases,

The Mystery Of the
Red Box

EN7ID you ever read one Of those highly col
- ored detective stories of international
diplomacy, intrigue and whatnot? If so you
already have some idea Of how secret State
documents are hurried from one capital to
another.
When the London foreign office wishes to
send an especially important memorandum to
some cabinet member, it comes pretty nearly
living up to your favorite novelist s imagings.
The foreign minister locks the paper in little
red box, to which only two keys exist-one in
the hands of the foreign minister, the other in
the hands of the Cabinet official receiving the
box.
When the mysterious red casket arrives,
under elaborate, if secret guard, the official
opens it, reads it's contents, locks it up again
and returns it precisely as it came It's all
very, very secret.
One such document, however, the New
York World tells us, has just gone astray. For
once the little red box has leaked. Thus we
read in copyrighted World cable from Lon
don what purports to be the British foreign
Offices secret report on the European situation.
"One-half Of Europe is dangerously
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-05-13

angry" says this secret memorandum drafted
by the foreign Office for the guidance of the
British cabinet, and "the other half is danger
ously afraid"
Such is the gist of the document. We
chronicle it because it drives home precisely
what this paper has been pointing out for
weeks Austen Chamberlain the British for
eign secretary, has been saying this to those
who can read between the lines ever since he
came int ooffce, warning Britain, Europe and
the world as far she openly dared. Now it
seems, the uncamoufaged truth is out-out of
the little red box.
Germany, the document says, intends to
change her Polish frontier and recover Silesia :;
France intends to hold the Rhine until she no
longer fears for her security; Russia els the
most menacing of our uncertainties and the
League of Nations is not strong enough to
stop war should one start between the great
powers.
All of which is far from reassuring.
Kings used to put to death cOuriers who
brought bad news from the battlefelds But
the corollary to that is, no ostrich has ever yet
STAYED off disaster from himself or from any
body else by burying his head in the sand.
The day of world peace still seems far off
Such is the unwelcome message of the little red
box.

Let 'Er Rip!

rip.
There's plenty of trouble that's

thing that we all ought to aim to

we can produce.
You meet fellow men In the work
Of your day-they frown and they
soon have you lookin' that way. The
pleasure or sourness that people ex-

So try, every day, to give cheer

1t reacts in the end. Your life can
be made real happiness trip If

The German DYE Patents

had never used the patents and did
not know how. The patents sold
were some of them patents for pro.
ducts with no directions for making
them. Most OF the patents had been
drawn by crafty German specialists
who defeated the purpose of the law
as far as they could be still keeping
the gist Of the invention secret. In
other words. the Germans claimed
patents In which they had not dis.
closed the invention.
All these things went into the mat
ter Of whether Palmer had induced
the President to confirm a sale OF
enormously valuable patents to his
friends for a fraction of what they
were worth. The court says he did
not. 1t also says that there was no
conspiracy, criminal or other, TO
steal these patents. The plan was
not one devised by the Du Points and
others and put up to Palmer. Pal
mer got the idea himself that the
existence Of monopoly of the or
ganic chemistry business outside the
United States was dangerous to our
very existence, and he 1t was who,
with the aid Of President Wilson, put
through the plan to take over the
German patents and transfer the
business so far as we are concerned
to American soil.

matter when it was going on. Most

CHILDREN AT
THE WHEEL

m ENNETH REMLEY. a IA
TX year-old boy Of Crawfords-
IL vile, was killed the other
night when he drove an automo-
bile into a bridge abutment. Four
other occupants OF the machine
were injured.
1t was a regrettable accident.
But probably the youth wouldn't
have lost his life if the State law
had been obeyed.
The motor vehicle act, which re-
Gently became effective. prohibits
without exception operation OF au-
tomobiles by children under Is.
Perhaps the law Is unnecessary.
Some children Of the prescribed
age may he competent drivers
safer behind the wheel than some
adults.
Still the Legislature passed the
law after due elaboration, bellev-
ing 1t would promote highway
safety. Both State and city au-
thorities. under the same belief,
have announced intensive warfare
against violators of the provision.
But it can't be enforced solely
by them. Parents and other adults
must cooperate.
Boys Of IA or 10 seldom own mo-
tor cars. If one of that age is
found behind the wheel he is vio-
lating the law by permission Of
parents or the adult owning the
car. They are as guilty as he
and they are directly responsible
for any accident that occurs.

DELAYED TRACK
ELEVATION

IN HE Indianapolis Union Rail-
way track elevation pro-
IL gram is again in a trance.
Actual construction on the project
IS apparently delayed indefinitely.
That's its normal state.
After a couple Of years of prod
ding the railroad finally sub
mitted plans and contract to city
officials for the $14.O00.000 eleva-
ton programme be spread over a
period Of ten years.
For a minute everything seemed
lovely. The south side could
almost see relief from its in
tolerable grade crossings.
But no provision was made for
a bridge across White River north
Of Raymond St. That bridge, cost
ing $780, 900, must be constructed
before work on other parts OF the
track raising project can proceed.
1t is the key to the whole i'm
provement.
The railroad says It can not
finance the bridge construction
and proposes that it be erected
under the flood prevention law.
Thus Its cost would be borne en-
tirely by city, county. and abutting
property owners.
What would a bridge for the ex-
elusive use Of the railroad benefit
property owners in the vicinity, or
the county? Only by a violent
stretch OF the Imagination could It
be classed as flood prevention
work. The proposal was not ac-
ceptable to the board Of works.
Properly so.
TT. Wayne and other Indiana
cities pushing track elevation only
bear % per cent of the cost OF
the work and the railroads in
volved IS per cent.
So indianapolis is more than
fair. 1t shares the cost on a fifty
fifty basis. What more does the
Belt line want? Obviously It isn't
track elevation In which the Belt
line is interested so much as delay.

INDIANA HAS
A SEAPORT

@HE British steamer Agga is
aground at the entrance of
IL the Michigan City harbor.
This is the second voyage this
steamer has made with a clay
cargo direct from England to
Michigan City. A sister ship is
now loading abroad for the same
destination.
The visit of this foreign vessel
to a Hoosier city is significant. 1t
proves that Indiana possesses a
seaport.
A thousand miles from the sea,
the Industrial development Of In
diana and the middle west has
been retarded by high freight
rates. To reach foreign markets
they have had to pay long rail
hauls and tribute to New York and
other ports.
Opening the Great Lakes to
ocean vessels by way Of the st.
Lawrence, thus making seaports
out Of Detroit. Chicago, Michigan
City and other lake cities, has
long been a dream. It may soon
become an actually.
Already Henry Ford's steamers
plow the Seven Seas with cargoes
of flivvers from his River Rouge
plant in Michigan. Wheat has
gone from Duluth to Liverpool in
the same bottoms And clay is
being shipped by boat direct from
England to Michigan City.
Improvement of connecting
waterways to accommodate larger
vessels and this trickle of foreign
commerce on the Great Lakes will
become a flood. Singapore and
Hongkong Will be connected by
water with the Hoosier backyard.
The district around the head of
Lake Michigan from Chicago to
Michigan City is now the nations
greatest railroad center. With
ocean-going steamers plying the
lakes 1t will become the trans
portation crossroads of the nation
its industrial heart.
Without much Imagination it
is possible to conceive that Eng
lish white clay unloading in Michi-
gan City today may spell mud to
New York and other Atlantic ports
tomorrow.

Crime In California

m ZEN are hanged so it is said, to deter other
llVll men from murder and violence!
On April "a the State of California, mark
ing up it's twenty-fourth victim in two years,
took 20-year-old fluffy Reade and hanged him
for killing Los Angeles dope peddler The
execution ceremonies were not held on the Los
Angeles commons as a solemn warning to other
would-be homicdes. They were held within
the walls of the State prison at San Quentin
for the special benefit of handful of invited
guests and the 1000 convcts inside.
On April 30-six days later-within the
very shadow Of the gallows, smOldering race
riot broke out and Andreas Gomez stabbed to
death an Indian convict and was in turn shot
by the guards.
The next day-seven days after the State
had strung fluffy Reade's limp body over
gaping trap in warning to all who kill-twO
more convicts were stabbed to death and
third was seriously injured.
Thus within one week after the State
hanged boy to deter others from murder,
there occurred within few yards of the warn
ing gibbet, three other killings. Such dem
onstraton can not fail to impress those who
Justify California s present orgy of hangings
on the ground that it will put an end to MUIR
