One real issue, however, does seem to be sink

interests and corruption in politics The people are

ginning to that if it is worth millions to the
special interests, in Illinois and Pennsylvania, to

must be worth something to the people to name their

SHORTRIDGE AND THE COURT

Present reports seem to indicate the renomina-
ton Of Senator Samuel Shortridge by the Repub-
1icans of California. Some of the same reports &C
claim this as victory for the World Court idea
We could wish this might be true, but
gravely doubt it. We believe in the World Court an
American idea which has found acceptance al
most everywhere save in America. We don't believe
very much in Senator Samuel Shortrdge who ranks
among the featherweights on Capitol Hill lii Wash
ington. We'd like to think that the California Re-
publican voters carefully decided the pros and cons
of the situation and decided that Shortridge, weak
though he is, and servant Of the special interests
though he is should be returned to the Senate to
support this enlightened foreign policy.
1t would be encouraging also If we could believe
that the voice of the voters, thus expressed might
great light to dawn Senator Hiram
Johnson. Johnson has been rampaging up and down
the Golden State demanding the defeat of Shortrdge
and of the he has given Sam Shortridges
support Of the World Court. But he has had better
and more efectua reasons from a political
standpoint Shortridge has served the interests in

LEGION MADE MISTAKE

American Legion members preparing to
celebrate the tenth anniversary of entry into the
World War
They plan to cross the Atlantic and hold their
1927 reunion in Paris
Certainly under normal conditions we could
name no place more fitting to the occasion than the
French capital, before whose gates so many of our
soldiers fell. But today conditions not normal
Rightly or wrongful makes no difference shad-
has fallen across French-Amercan relations
Under these circumstances, the vote by the
State convention against postponement of the trip
to Paris the selection Of another place for the
reunion seems TO be mistake.
Everybody in America must be aware by this
time that not exactly popular anywhere in
Europe just This is particularly of France
Those who went abroad during the summer brought
back accounts of incidents ranging from hostile
glances to rows bordering riots. 1t is beside the
mark who to blame whether Americans French
both.
One does not need perfervid imagination to
see that such tense atmosphere is place for thou
sands Of redblooded doughboys to hold ollifcation
for that's what reunions very rightfully
They don't make finer buddies than ours But
one reason why they such good scrappers is. per-
haps, because they proud. patriotic and quick
on the trigger The French have equally fine quail
ties peculiarly their own.
But just France is traversing particularly
trying times. Fall of the franc has ruined millions
Taxes are piling up and can see the end
Staggering under debt bigger than she can ever
pay, France is at tension which the war never
saw. Her people laboring under cloud of black
despair. They believe they slavery for genera
tons In kind of desperation they are asking them
selves if this is what million and half of them
died and other millions manned for in the war
In their bitterness they somehow connect their
debts, particularly the American debt with their
plight
Again say that 1t makes no difference
whether they right wrong If this is their
present Woodland it is-such a mood is dangerous
BACKGROUND for stupendous American celebration.
France is still house of mourning. America
has forgotten the and become the greatest rich
est, happy-go-luckiest country on earth.
Is it wise, is it actful is it prudent for our legion
to hold its reunion in France next year? We
postponement.
At heart the French like Americans Time will
remove the present misunderstanding between the
two peoples.
Just as American doughboys helped save France
from ruinous defeat Americans today are showing
disposition to help save her from ruin in peace.
1t would be tragedy indeed If Americans and
French, through some avoidable incident drifted
farther apart than ever. When present difficulties
ironed out the reunion in Paris will be quite in
order. Then there be real celebration in which
all hands can intellectually join.

Floundering

There is something to think about
In this country besides the world
court, the foreign debts, the Next
can situation, Bolshevik Russia, or
Mussolini, important as they may
be.
We are not making good in the
matter OF ordinary conduct.
We have thirty.six times as many
murders per 1000 people as Switzer-
land and twelve times as many as
Canada. Our bandit. hold-up, assault
and yegg record is not equalled by
any civilized nation on earth.
We call it a crime wave mainly
to console ourselves with the idea
that it is temporary and will soon
pass away.
1t is not wave at ALL but a
bedevilment of steady growth.
have no pet theory as to the
cause, but just an idea to pass along.
You can't tell any more what a
jury is going to do, what a court Of
appeals is going to do, even when
the facts are known.
This means that definite standards
have ceased to exist. We simply
have no fixed idea Of what is right
under a given set IF circumstances.
We are all laundering and the
criminal is the only gamer.

Decades of Pleading

This oil case has been in the
hopper more than two years. and
thus far nothing has been tried but
the law.
Whether a special prosecutor has
the right to appear before a grand
jury and whether the indictments
drawn by a grand jury are legal, if
he does; whether the Walsh act is
constitutional; whether the indict-
ments should be dismissed because
the case had not been tried in the
time prescribed, though defense
counsel have prevented it from be-
ing tried by their varied and techni-
cal pleadings; whether everybody is
innocent because Fall did something
he had legal right to do, or be-
cause he had no legal right to do
These are but few of the ques.
tons that have been raised TO block
proceedings.
BY 1884, or ten years after the
indictments were drawn, we may
have determined just what basis, in
law. there is for this case.
III dHotHeT ueCdue we may nave
learned how to formulate the plead
ings correctly.
In still another decade we may
have arrived at a point where we
can actually ask somebody to de.
eide whether Fall, Sinclair and Do
heny were guilty Of anything.
BY that time they probably will
be dead and the question won't be
worth answering.

THE WATSON CONFIDENCE

Senator Watson, emerging from his retreat at
a northern lake, announces that he is confident
of victory in November that it seems hardly worth
while to make any speeches.
That must be a pleasant situation for a candi
date for the United States Senate who in the past
has had the protective care of some national figure
There may be some speculation to the reasons
for his vast complacency.
Certainly it not come from any hope that the
members of his party who have some regard for
President Coolidge will march joyously the polls
to give him their ballots
For the Senator has definitely broken with every
major policy of the President has gone to consider
able trouble to emphasize his break by demanding
Endorsements of his attitude the world court
and farm relief. Every Endorsement of WatsoH on
these matters indictment of the President.
There many thousands of Republicans in
this State who have faith in Coolidge and who would
probably vote for him as his own successor.
These will have no illusions that vote for Wat
is assisting the President to carry out his own
policies of government.
There is even less reason to believe that Wat
son can find such satisfaction with his own record
of thirty years to give him any real soace He is
too good politician to believe that. He best of
all, must know that when he declared that his vote
for Newberryism, Endorsement of lavish use of
money to sway elections, Endorsed by the people
of Indiana he nsuted the general reputation of the
State for honesty
Possibly he finds his confidence in that little
black book" which his manager for women votes so
frankly says contains the lists of five whispering
women in each county who enlisted in what she
just frankly termed her poison squad"
He may be correct in any belief he has that the
time has come for government by gossip.

This Is the Law

A wonderfully contrived institu-
ton. the law; putting Loeb and Leo
pold in prison for life and then pro
viding means by which they are
likely to get out after eleven years.
At all events. that is what the
Illinois State parole chief thinks.
These two prodigies, you remem-
Der, were sentenced for kidnapping
and killing young Bobby Franks.
They received ninety-nine years
for the kidnapping and life for the
killing.
Judge Caverly failed to state that
the sentences were to run consecu-
lively, so they will run concurrently.
When sentences run concurrently,
the longer prevails.
Which is longer. life or ninety-nine
years. But the law regards life as
the maximum.
AT the same time and though re-
garding life as longer than ninety
nine years the law rates life at twen-
ty years when figuring paroles. If
life prevails as the longer term, and
If it is rated at twenty years, Loeb
and Leopold will be entitled to parole
after eleven years, providing they
have maintained good records.
District Attorney Grove says he
will fight their release, but he prob
ably won't be district attorney
when the question comes up.

A MOUNTAIN SQUIRREL
. By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

The gay little mountain squirrel watches with
the brightest of eyes He is bravey clad gray with
a magnificent tail that might be the envy of any
animal. And he waves This plumy appendage about
with the utmost unconcern apparently unmindfu that
human beings. those creatures which he must so dis
trust and fear stand near looking him.
He is happy little SOUL and industrious. AL
searching for morsel of precious food to
away for the white, cold winter, yet always playing
happily he goes about his work.
Up the tall pine tree he so swiftly that the
eye hardly follow him and he will balance himself
upon swaying twig like round little ball of de-
light high up in the sunlight.
Over the rocks he leaps to disappear suddenly in
little crevice where mans heavy hand can
follow Out he presently, and venuring slowly
forth he will climb upon stone and sit upright, nib
bling daintily cromp which his sharp eyes have
spied.
Now and then, he raises his head and gives forth
although you may be very wise indeed you never
understand just where within his small body he can
keep anything to raise brave noise.
He frisks, he frolics, he sports all the lvelong
day, unconcerned with the of any world outside
his tall trees and his sheltered crannies.
And watching his buoyant happiness you can not
but ask yourself whether man, after all, is such a
fortunate being. He, who is continually by
trepdations who is angushed by love- who is
Of DEATH who longs to live forever. For men, whether
they be wise foolish, feel the simple
stacy which tn tiny mountain squirrel knows when
he that the round, yellow has again
over the eastern peak. He ganhols happily through
the days, satisfied with the home where he was born
beset by any longfngs his familiar rocks
and trees for others far away.
He is only streak Of life, flashing gayiy through
the days, and when he leaves the bright
sunlight forever his bones make Sod over which
others Of his like will play.

THE WRONG TARGET

The Republican women of Terre Haute, with but
one dissenting vote have demanded that Senator
Watson and Chairman Walb and others dispense
with the services of Mrs Wheatcraft.
Mrs Wheatcraft had charge of the task of get
ting votes of women for Senator Watson.
She did that job so awell that she is quoted as
saying that the Senator owes the votes of 100000
women to her efforts
The women are ncensed because of the inter-
view printed in the Baltimore Sun and reprinted il
the Indianapolis Times to the effect that she had
poison squad" Of five women in each county and
that the triumph victory by gossip"
The women in Vigo County declare that the
method insult to them, and it is significant
that in the gathering the protest came from
woman whose name was listed by Watsons treasurer
as being given regular salary in his behalf.
The indignation of these women and Of the many
other in the State who have been working for
cleaner politics and for more decent government can
10 easily understood.
Why they should condemn Mrs Wheatcraft is
not so easily explainable
1t is true that the tactics described are blow
to the influence of women, something of an OBJ
stacle to the many fine efforts being made by
in all parties to eliminate of the scandalous
conditions prevalent under male domination
But it was to be expected from that insti-
tuition in politics which bear other than
wisconsin.
1t is the very logic of his political life and his
political methods that he would just such aids
to his faterng and wagering cause.
His has always been the Darkroom, secret
sion politics. and still the backroom secret session
method.
He depends upon bargains made with bosses
and with those who traffic in hate and venom
1t is an open secret that he made his deal with
the local boss and the head of the hooded order for
their support and that his tie to Robinson is the
suit of just such secret methods.
The women have every right to be angry. 1t is
true that the event a scandal and blow to all
their ideals
But why stop at the very efficient who
secured the votes and let the man who the ben
edciary of the poison squad go back into power?
The way to clean up politics is to strike at the
source Of unclean politics.
