IT WON'T WORK IN THE T. s. A.
BY N. D. Cochran

Now and then an American fnancier or captain
OF industry comes home from Europe and cuts loose
With song of praise for Mussolin the Italian boss
He tells us what wonderful fellow Muss is and what
wonders he has worked for Italy. That means some
thing.
When you consider how the Italian dictator has
suppressed free speech free press, the right
semble peaceaby-how he has made even opposition
to him and his backshrts a crime-you can see what
of these admirers of Mussoni would do in this
land of the less free If they could get away
with it,
We have had of the same sort Of tyranny in
this country, in spots. Public officials in the coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania and Virginia have packed
some parts of the Constitution in mothballs when 1t
suited the convenience and selfish purpose of oper
ators. New Jersey offciadom in factory towns have
done the same. And we have had Federal and State
judges giving limitations Of the italian tyrant in using
the injunction to do away with trial by jury.
Most traits Of human nature universal. The
more power a gets the he wants, no matter
what his He likes to make other people jump
when he cracks the whip. If he has the power he
will make others live and he thinks they ought
to live and act If he can't shoot them down with
bullets he'll try to smash them with words
epthets.
And he is particularly dangerous to society when
he tries to do his stuff in the of righteousness.
Probably that western prohibition Judge who put vio-
lators Of the volstead law bread and water got a
kick of the thought that any form of cruelty was
justified when done in the service of the Lord
There is cruelty in the heart of bigot who will
try to enforce his will others by force There
cruelty in the hearts Of the devout Christians who
so-called witches early DAYS
of Massachusetts, So with those Louisiana reformers
who murdered pair of booeggers and drove empty
headed country girl Of easy virtue from the State.
Also with the hooded knights Of the bedshee who strip
and beat and whose morals are not I'D to
the required standard.
Mussolni suppressed all newspapers in Italy ex.
cept such he could control There bgots among
the rys who would suppress all newspapers that criti
else the volstead and very likely there bigos
among the vets who would suppress advocates of
prohibition.
A has right to believe whatever he wants
TO believe does believe. He has right argue
to attempt get others agree with his opinions
If they to listen But he has right to beat p
shoot down anybody who doesn't think he thinks.
Let him be captain of his soul, quit monkey
ing with the souls of others.
Whoever said that eternal vigilance is the price
Of liberty knew that he talking about When a
people sleep their rights they may wake up to find
they haven't In the long Fascism won't work
in Italy; it won't work in this country at any time.

Press Influence

Benjamin Purnell was a prophet
pushing the even tenor OF his way
four years ago and making good at
It so far as converts and contribu-
lions went.
Today he iS at liberty under
1920 900 bond charged with criminal
assault by two young girls.
His lawyers admit that they have
countenanced his failure to appear
and answer charges sooner.
I'm view Of the attitude Of the
press three years ago." they say.
1T would have been not only asinine
and rank stupidity but suicidal to
have submitted to trial at that time. E"
Maybe so. Lots of people would
find 1t easier and safer to submit
to trial but for the attitude Of the
press.

JUSTICE GIVEN SWIFTLY
Two Cases Reported to Dry Chief
Ansel X. Harris.

Two cases of swift justice we're
chronicled in a report received by

ley, in Evansville.
Allois J. Heickelbach Of Jasper.

a charge of possession and sale of H.
licit liquor He was arrested during

Deed or Tragedy2

The United Press gives a most
graphic description of the giant
airship which Great Britain is
building.
It will be OF 155 tons burden and
capable of carrying 100 passengers,
with all modern conveniences and ac-
commodations.
Its destiny is to fly to India or
overseas to even farther outlying
possessions Of the empire.
Are we being advised Of great
achievement in aviation. or Of an
other tragedy in the making?
There will be dauntless spirits
enough to man and sail this .evia-
than Of the skies, and to prove
whether much has been learned or
whether the race is merely cour-
ageous enou~l to risk death once
more for the sake OF learning.

Queens CIouded Visit

Queen Marie has Cancelled all en-
gagements and will sail for Europe
as soon as she can get a boat. Her
husband has taken a turn for the
worse according to private advices.
Her Majestys visit has labored
under a cloud from the beginning. In
the first place. her ministers told
her that If she didn't make it now
she would probably never get a
chance on account of the Kings Ill
ness and possible death. In the sec
ond place, they told her that if she
did make 1t she was likely to be
called home at any moment for the
same reason.
Even royalty knows no freedom

Jane Gibson Is Central
Figure in Drama of
Real Life.
BY NJ. K. Tracy

The Hall Mills case came to its
dramatic climax on schedule. with
Mrs. Jane Gibson, said to be dying
from cancer, in the stellar role.
Let budding playwrights take
note, for here is a scene to harrow
the most blase audience and lend
color to the tamost of plots.
Barring that grim age when the
wheel, the rack and the boot played
their ugly part, history contains
nothing to parallel 1t.
Here, as it would seem, the most
unnatural traits and circumstances
combined in perfect accord to pro
duce a spectacle that beggars de-
scription.
A woman employs what may be
her last act to damn three fellow
beings, while the mother who bore
her Kisses, "Liarl"
The State had to hurry, or thought
it did, in order to prevent death
from sealing the only pair of lips
that could oqer direct testimony of
what occurred on that fatal night
four years ago.
Could the trial have been delayed
a few weeks longer the defendants
would have had nothing to fear
from this poor plaything Of fate,
Jane Gibson, who has lived in misery
misery for others, provided of
course, the doctors have diagnosed
her case correctIV

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

Carrying over into the last half
Of the week some more Of his orig.
inal ideas and new numbers Fred
Ardath Is as much of a success as
he was on the bill the first half.
The costuming of the band has
been changed along with the musical
numbers presented and the whole
act has been altered in such a man
ner that everything smaclks of a
new presentation entirely
Several melodies by the band, an
excellent song by the quartet and
some speciality numbers by different
people Of the company feature the
act this week.
AS an extra bit of entertainment
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Ardath Sc
cured Julian Woodwork, who is in
the city for a few days. and prevailed
upon him to sing us a song. Liked
him.
Fred Ireland has a rather snappy
song and dance act and offers much
in the line of fast dances and sew
eral ballads. The outstanding events
Of the act were the soft shoe dane
ing by one of the men and the tap
dance finale.
Meyers and Nolan offer some
comedy that went over nv head. I
could see nothing to laugh at in It.

records of two great pianists.

1 had to go back to my record Ii.
brary at my home. Selected many
Brunswick records Of Josef Holman
and Leopold Godowsky.
VIII give you the Introduction to
Godowsky as listed by Brunswick in
their catalog, as follows;
Leopold Godowsky was born IN
the ancient town of Wilma, in the
Lithuanian province of Russian
Poland. From early childhood he
showed an extraordinary aptitude
for music, making his first public
appearance at the age of nine at a
concert in his native town. Four
years later, he was enrolled az the
Berlin ochschue, and soon after
wards the young pianist left for
America.
Godowsky toured in concerts for
two years and later returned to Eu-
rope to study under Ljszt at Weimer.
This. his greatest ambition, was
never realized. for List had died be-
fore Godowsky reached him. He
studied under Saint-Saens, the great
composer, but the latter's restless
nature and incessant activities made
continuous work impossible, and
.Godowsky became practically his
own teacher. That he was his best
instructor, time and his great repu-
tatlon today have proven.
A master pianist of singular depth
and profundity Of thought, he is cele-
brated for his wondrous and perfect
technique.
The Brunswick Godowsky are as
follows, those that like the best:
