not rush to the capitol to defend the fair nameand
honor of the State.
Nor was the voice of Watson the senior Senator
once the friend Of this convict who is said to be
willing to confess, heard in this matter He too has
been silent
Some voices were heard it is true. There are
those of the five Republican editors who came to
indianapolis to protest that Adams had never been
named by their association prober of graft.
What pitiful spectacle. How much they have
to explain to the readers of their newspapers when
they go back and say that they tried to prevent an
investigation of graft and fraud by the trifing pleas
that no committee had ever been named
The argument is Of course, that IL Adams had
no such appointment, he had right to get letter
from Stephenson; no right to prove graft no right
to expose the degradation and debauchery of govern
, ment and Of officials.
They poor men, well those who command
them. But what they can say to justify their logic
or their actions to the readers of their papers is
beyond the Imagination of the most imaginative
profession In the world.
That Is the situation as 1t rests-a terrible COM
mentary on Indiana
These charges are made Ind openly made:
That elections have been corrupted
That more than 100000 was spent in 1924 to
corrupt the electorate to deraud the citizenship of
the State by spurious ballot and false count
That the Legislature of which Stephenson was
boss took graft for killing measures and hassing
others
That the juries of certain counties are fixed.
That bootleggers protected and criminals
kept free
That in high places are part and parcel
of this corruption.
True, the story comes from prison CELL It
comes from who is under e. life sentence for
a most hideous crime
But that same man once ruled Indiana more
completely than 1t has been ruled by any man.
His power was acknowledged and welcomed He
Haunted it openly. He was courted and fawned upon
by those seeking office.
He says that the men he made rich ana placed
in power conspiring to keep his voice for
ever silent in cell.
If Adams had asked for incidents and attitudes
to confirm the story he told of Stephenson; if he
had asked for circumstantial evidence to support
the spoken word, the incidents Of the past three
days have furnished better than he could have
planned.
But will the people of this State be content to
remain silent and inactive under such an avalanche
of charges?
The time has come for truth Bring this man
from his prison cell.
If he has documents let's all take look
If he has cancelled checks for sums paid to his
puppets, let's all see them.
Let's rid the of Indiana from this smirch
or If it should be true that this saturnaa Of graft
existed, let's drive from power and place beside
him In his CELL every man who was his beneficiary
or his accomplish in his crimes against Indiana

MISTAKE

to the defense Of children.
Perhaps ought not be surprised when it is
made known that this particular boy is young
divinity student Has it not long been the custom
for certain class Of preachers to make an excellent
living villfying their fellows? Why do we become
upset when this inexperienced young man, merely
follows the exampe set him by certain of his notable
elders?
Anybody who has heard the Reverend Billy
Sunday undoubtedly of the successful and
famous evangelists Of his day, at of his typical
meetings knows that the wild charges made against
the girls by this youth, sound like paeans praise
compared to the things cited against them by Mr.
Sunday when he gets to going good
Does anybody ever rise and challenge his state
ments? Certainly not. Personally have heard SEN
sational members of the ministerial calling,
before large crowd of mothers and tell them things
about their local high school that should have made
them either tear his hair out take their children
out of school. They charge unspeakabe sins to high
Righteousness in college and in society; they yell about
They think up more meanness with
which to accuse children than the most of us
married and mothers heard Of Their
minds to be vast cesspool, seething with
thoughts of iniquity.
Where this boy, who has raised hornets nest
about his made his fatal mistake not
waiting until he ordained minister to start
with his rawlings. Then he might have travelled up and
down the country yelling anything in the world about
our children. and we would have paid him money
to do 1t.

The sharp note Of warning sent by Attorney
General Gilliom to the AntiSaloon League against
violating the corrupt practices act governing elec-
tons will meet with hearty approval
The people have a right to know what is spent
in influencing votes in elections and in primaries.
Having, probably, accomplished his purpose in
this direction, let be hoped that his zeal will not
slacken.
He might, now that he has disposed of the dry
forces, turn his attention to the recent primaries
The report filed in behalf of Senator James Eli
Watson in obscure county seat showed expendi-
lures covering about two months
The files Of the Indianapolis News, chief sup
porter of Senator Watson, discloses his announce
ment that for ten months previous to the time coy
cred by that report he had in his employ one Mrs
Vivian Tracey Wheatcraft.
Later an interview, accredited to that lady in
which her poison squad methods were boasted con
firmed this employment.

Has our State gone wild?
Where is the law and order that
used to hold sway in Indiana? Why
is politics so corrupt? 1t is q known
fact that rotten politics is keeping
more and more men and women
away from the polls each election. Is
there no way to remedy this condi-
ton, ard is it possible that there are
no clean candidates any more?
What has happened to our pardon
board? 1t seems as if It would be
more to our advantage II we had
men on that board who would en-
deavor to keep prisoners in prison,
where they belong! Why was Rev.
Henninger so interested in Nicholas
Harakas that he took steps to have
his sentence reduced so that he
might be eligible for parole? Why
doesn't the Reverend take the same
interest in the case of d. c. Steph-
enson?
Why is Harakas quietly paroled,
and then thrust back into prison?
Do we have laws in Indiana so con-

thing as law or judges or courts and

open the prison doors to all prison
ers-save d. c. Stephenson. Rather
irregular proceedings seem to be
going on and as a taxpayer l would

Citizens all should be told. even pros

Why is Mr.. Stephenson deprived of
a privilege that even a condemned

the right Of free speech? Why does
he fear the Grand Old Man" Of by

when Stephenson said, IT am the

KEEP TT FIRST

II is a matter of universal qualification that the
Chamber of Commerce so greatly exceeded its goal
of new memberships in its crusade to put real
meaning into it's slogan of Indianapolis First"
Much more has been gained than the mere ad-
dItion of names to the roster of the organization
which speaks for the common interests OF commerce
and industry.
For there has been added to this spirit revival
Of optimism and faith that can not fail to win any
object to which 1t is dedicated in the name of the
common good
Every city takes It's character from Its citizens
If they be gloomy respondent or pessimistic, cities
are gray and dull and dreary.
But if there be alertness and optimism, spirit
of cooperation and good will, cities become pleasant
and progressive-and they grow.
1t was more than happy thought that perma-
nent committee headed by Frederic M Ayres was
chosen as cheer leader for the continuing effort to
keen Indianapolis First" in the thought and hearts
of all it's citizens.
We can learn from the college boys who select
cheer leaders for their struggles for the things
which to them important
That is what this new committee will be. 1t will
keep alive the fine spirit which has been shown in
the past ten days. 1t will not permit enthusiasm to
lag nor sense Of disaster to overthrow the will

In that effort of course The Times will have its
part will every other enterprise which is dedicated
to bigger, better and happier Indianapolis.

Two English Bishops
Would Abolish This
Place He'll.
BY d. E. Tracy.

Two great English clerics, the
Bishop of Liverpool and Archbishop
of New York, have come out for the
abolition of He'll, and Bishop Mann
ing of New York says he agrees lin
the main"
At first glance, the idea of mere
men abolishing such an institution
would seem to be impossible, unless
they made it, but a good many think
men did make 1t, and that it never
has had any existence, except in the
imagination.
But it is an institution, neverthe-
less, especially from the psychology
cal standpoint, and is supposed to
haze driven the race upward
through fear. Most of our ancestors
sucked it in with their milk, first as
heather abode of the damned and
afterward as a Christian pledge Of
punishment.
The minds Of millions have been so
wrought on by the idea that they
are still unable to conceive a heaven
for themselves without a hell for
other folks, to match it.
