RULED BY CRIME

Prosecutor Remy speaking to mems club,
charges that criminals, if they DESIRE can obtain the
transfer of policeman from district where these
criminals fear him.
That is much too serious charge to be over
looked.
If it be true, then this city is ruled by criminals
for criminals and of criminals.
If that charge be true, it means that the con-
troll of the city government is in the hands of men
who deal with crooks, thieves, booeggers, gamblers
and all the rest of the undesrables who prey upon
the useful and the decent.
If that charge be true then the grip of the law
vioaor upon is stronger than the regard
of officials for the conscience and wishes and well
fare of those who obey laws and desire only to live
in an orderly community
1t means, certainly and inevitably, that some
one somewhere in the management of city govern
ment and in control of the police deals with crmi-
nails.
Mr. Remy is not noted for extravagant state
ments or Authorizations. His friends believe that
when he talks he knows what he is talking about
and has the facts behind him.
The people trust him and believe in him as
honest and courageous one.
He has no reputation a demagogue.
And since he makes this charge and there is no
instant and indignant protest, perhaps the people
may consider plan Of getting rid of such situa
ton.
1t has been true of other cities which are ma
chine and bossed ruled. 1t is always true of cities
ruled by bosses and political machines
In Cincinnati the people protected themselves
by abolishng the ancient and archaic form of gov
eminent and substituting city manager who is not
named by boss and is not under fear Of machine.
That might work in Indianapolis. It's at least
worth trying, if adopted before the criminals get
away with everything worth having in the city.

"ADVICE AS rs ADVICE"
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

With much delight read that Judge Ben Lind
say has adopted child, and will now have the oppor-
tunty to follow of his advice
He has advocated admirable rules for the
bringing up of children, and many of them have
worked much good, we have doubt. But one thing
sure set rule be applied successfully to
all children.
Today mothers have the psychology experts, the
kindergarten FANS the child culture theorists the wise
from the We hear from the social service
workers, and the unmarried women, the actress and
the opera singer and all of them have something fine
to tell about how shall children. Much
Of present muddle comes from the fact that we
try listen integenty to many different people.
About the only successful way to- bring children
is to tackle the job yourself and figure out the best
according to the srangeness and the mysterious
nature Of the child with whom you must deal.
You have to bring intelligence to the task. You
can't learn from lectures school books the quail
ties which will enable to train boys and girls Only
the Lord actually help you and it is best not to
leave too much of the job to Him.
All the children in family may be unlike in
demand a different rule for he rearing. You simply
cannot manage them all in the same way.
This Is one of the real reasons why having
such troubles with youngsters these days. We
depend too much upon efficiency experts and children
clinics and all sorts of tomfoolery and do not get
down and do the jobs for ourselves it intended
should There is opportune time to prac-
tice changing your mind than when you have family
to manage.
If mothers, however, would only get down to
business and do our very best to lH2 Batter own
children there would be need of Ihany organiza-
tons to look after the rising genera

'GroWing Paint

Love of color, as well as the
necessity for some kind of a preserv-
ative, has caused the world to paint
it's woodwork since times immemori-
al.
Like any scheme of surface treat
ment, painting has its disadvantages.
Scratch piano case, scar chair,
or silver a door jam and you spoil
the whole thing.
Now comes a German scientist to
Machias, Maine, feeding dye into
trees and making them drink it up,
just as they do their sap.
In two days a small tree will color
itself through and through, while it
takes four for a larger one.
Let this German bore half dozen
holes at the base of a birch, beech
or maple, put in some spigots, hang
can of dye in the branches and
the tree becomes lavender, yellow,
pink or brown from bark to heart,
exactly as he decided it should.

BUYING PUBLIC OFFICE

There's something wrong with system that
makes man or his friends spend 100000 or more
to get job that pays only $4,000 year.
No sooner had the Senate committee started its
probe of campaign expenditures than witnesses be-
gan whispering of 100000 campaign funds in Penn
sylvania and admitted that friends of one candidate
had spent nearly 100000 in his behalf
This is mighty bad business. We do not mean
to insinuate that any of this money was dishonesty
1.sad by or for any of the candidates. Frankly we
do not know What we do mean to say, however, is
that such huge expenditures out Of all proportion
puts a dangerously large premium on dishonesty IN
Office and is distinct menace to our present system
of government.
Some men are eager for office and spend Tot Of
money to get H. because it gratifes some sort OF am
btion, personal SOCIAL. Relatives sometimes con-
tribute large amounts elect their kin for social adj
vancement or for reasons of family pride. Friends
contribute from similar motives and party men con-
tribute for party purposes whatever they may be.
Then there are those who contribute as sort of bust
ness proposition-because they feel that whatever
they put the campaign will be bread cast upon
the waters They expect and intend to demand IA
vors of their candidate if elected.
These are some of the types Of campaign con-
tributors And they all wrong. We are sup
posed to be government of the people and by the
people, but it cannot remain so if government office
is to go to belonging to the richest families or
those occupying social position or those most willing
to repay" with favors those hackers who bought
them the job. ILL.,.
This system is being practiced more and more
throughout the United States Unless it is stopped
it will yet eat into the very vitas of republic.
If we are going to continue democracy Of
flee must all times in all of the States be within
reach of the poor we'll the rich socially prom
inent
If we are going to be plutocracy then let's stop
the farce of socaed free for al elections and
frankly accept the bids of those with the biggest
pile

MILE FOIS PARDON, CHER AMI!

The other day, you will recall, the Senate Judi
ciary subcommittee reported four to against the
idea of national referendum on prohibition any
other change Of the status quo.
Declaring the Eighteenth Amendment morally
right and economically sound" these four committee
men added that they did not believe sit was the in
tenton of the trainers of the Constitution that
tional referendum would be attempted"
This struck us-and still strikes us-as the
height apex, summit, the plus ultra and GROWING
example of presumption and we said.so.
The trainers of the Constitution, President Cool
document to the simplest fundamentals of govern
that "they did turn aside to deal with
the great moral question of slavery" let alone to
inject an article force 115O0O,O00 citizens to for
swear apple cider or go to Jail.
Yet the four wise of the subcommittee ap-
peared disagree absolutely, with that view. They
seemed think tho founding fathers not only might
have favored putting teetotaiisnor prison in the Con-
sttution, but that they would not want the people
of this country be given chance to express
their opinion about it.
These men in their wisdom made Solomon look
like piker, said! we. And we learn by grape
vine telegraph that Senator Reed of Missouri is ex-
trenely wroth at having been included among them.

Gerald Griffin Sings His Way Into Big
Favor on New Bill at the Palace Theafer

Among the better known tenors
on the concert and operate stage
is Gerald Griffin, who is as well
known in this country as in Eng.
land.
Griffin is appearing in song re-
cital built along concert lines on the
new weekend bill at the Palace.
Griffin has with him this season a
splendid pianist, who feeds" into
the mood of the singer.
Griffin shapes his program along
ballad lines, featuring in all its
sweetness, "a Cottage Small by a
Waterfall" He has beautiful
voice and knows how to select his
program.
No matter how bad things seem, 1t
can be worse. Such is the theme OF
the. sketch in which Travers and
Douglas appear.
The story, humorous in spots,
tells of the intention of a young
fellow to commit suicide on account
of the loss of his money and his
girl. A friend of his drops in who
has taken a few too many drinks
which is the secret of the comedy
brought out in the act. The act,
although slightly draggy at first,
does contain some good comedy sit
uations and lines.
The Aurora Trio are three men
who confine themselves to balanc-
ing stunts on a bicycle. They all
monut the same wheel, one bal
anced on top Of the other. 1t takes
a very fine sense of balance to do
the things these men did.

face, and a women give us an I'M

IF CAL CAME

rhero &c something ironcal in the invitation ex-
.ondo,I j.. the head of the Republican State COM
ri4tae ~ President Coolidge to come out to Indiana
and help the people forget some things about Sena-
tor Watson and his echo in the Senate
What if the President should accept and really
for once tell the people frankly and fully just What
he thinks about Watson, about his record about MS
views and beliefs public questions!
Would he urge the voters of this State TO send
hack Watson because, that great statesman heafo
last minute order of his secret masters in the hood
cd order and voted against the Worlo court WHICH
the President so much wanted?
Would the President tell the people of this
state that he needed Watson to help him carry
ont his policies on international matters, or would
he saw to the Republicans that while he President
was trying to carry out the platform OF their party
Watson deserted and betrayed it?
Or would the President go into the farming dis
trcts and tell the men and who are in dis.
tress that he was all wrong and that Watson was
right when ahe organized group to fight his own
policies?
If he we're really frank all the people that Che
President should see the few heads of prvi-
legged interests where quiet word could be slipped
that even though Watson had run amuck with the
national Administration he could still be trusted to
do the will of the railways and the big pets of
privilege whenever they in danger.
Of COURSE, the invitation to Vice President
Dawes and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is quite
in keeping with the spirit Of the Watson campaign.
Dawes has already begun his fight on the Presi-
dem; and Watson is his pal He has policies which
differ from the Watson record, while Secretary Mel
Ion can always be counted upon to stand by such
trusted friends of steel trust and big business as
Watson has BEEN
But to bring Coolidge here and parade him for
Watson would be the height of irony
1t is hardly conceivable that he will permit his
prestige to be used to make people overlook some
of the evident features Of just what wisconsin is in
Indiana.

Republican Chaos &s1

The chaotic condition of the Re-
publican party Is illustrated by
nothing more graphically than Sen
ator Wadsworth's super-wetness.
Within thu space Of weeks after
President Coo idge issued his IA
nous dry order, this candidate for
denomination and reelection comes
out with a platform that not only
calls for modification of the Volstead
act, but repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
He does this, moreover, notwith-
standing that he was one Of the
Senators who voted to pass the VOL
stead act over the late President
Wilson's veto.
He may be playing noble politics
from the New York standpoint, but
he is certainly raising Cain with his
party from a national standpoint.

Behind the Mask

Richard Reese Whittemore was
sentenced to death by hanging yes
terday.
You can't pity him much, because
he brought it on himself, went back
on training of clean, Christian
home, forsook the ways of his own
people and permitted the SNUG con-
ceit of wild youth to mislead him.
But you can pity HIS family, es-
pecially his father.
You can pity the young wife, too,
and you can suspect that behind the
mask of bravado and deviltry with
which this young man chose to con-
ceal his better self, there must have
been something rather decent to
challenge such devotion from a
woman.

Fifty Thousand Watchers
at the Polls at $40 Each
Is This Buying Votes?
By M. e. Tracy

What Pinchot admits he spent is
bad enough, but what one of his
managers says Ware and Pepper
spent is simply scandalous.
Fifty thousand watchers in one
county alone and each getting SO
for the day-fgure it out for your
self.
Secretary MELONS home county
it looks as though the Administra-
ton might have, run up against
something worse than Brookhart.
1t is only a charge Of course and
comes from the opposition, but
Charles C. McGovern, western
State manager for Pinchot, fathered
it willingly. He told the Senate
Committee that not only were these
$4,000 watchers hired by Pepper
and Ware, but that there were 1000
illegal registrations.
Senator King remarked that so
far as he could make out approx
mately one-third of the votes in
Allegheny County were cast by paid
watchers. If this is true or half
way true the committee has opened
up such a revelation Of the corrupt
use of money in political campaigns
as puts all previous exploits in the
shade.
Let 1t be remembered that a re.
porter for the Scripps-H Howard news
papers, Leo R. Sack, was first to call
attention to the fact that Penn
sylvania was being flooded with
money in Connection with the recent
Republican primary. 80, 49,
