THE FINAL CONFESSION

More desperate than ever, Clyde Walb insults
the attorney general of this State by attempting to
deceive editors into the ideal that Arthur Gilliom
tonight at V.Acennes will reveal the secrets OF the
grand jury whose secrets he has sworn to protect
Walb has sent to every editor OF the State who
still dares to obey his commands the advance copies
of the Gilliom speech.
When Mr. Gilliom talks tonight he will say that
convict tried to blackmail his way to freedom
Look that statement over and weigh it carefully.
For in it is the final proof of infamy.
What power has blackmailer?
None, save when he possesses proof of guilty
secrets.
The blackmaler, of course, is Stephenson, and
everyone knows that he made a gesture to brighten
men in power to give him freedom
How many other convicts in the State prison
would even dare to suggest that he could force
pardon by betraying the inner workings Of his po-
lftical power when he free?
What other convict would raise ripple
BY saying that he had documentary evidence of the
corruption and graft which he charged?
What other would think of driving
from the State business partner who has standing
a citizen. member of church. respectable
member of society?
Mr. Gilliom says that Stephenson tried to black
mail his way to freedom. He is advertised as a man
who knows all that the local grand jury has learned
in his honest search under Prosecutor Remy
How could Stephenson backma any for
freedom unless he held secrets which men in higL
Office and power fear may be revealed?
Would he not be the least dangerous of all
unless he held such power those in high places
that he could frighen them into giving him freedom?
No asks Mr.. Gilliom to hetray the secrets of
the grand jury The campaign organized by Clyde
Walb has nsuted him by trying to tell citizens of
this State that he will reveal those secrets And
his speech tonight will say that Stephenson tried to
backmai his way to liberty.
That ought to be convincing. No blackmailer
ever got anywhere without fear the part of those
he blackmails of revelations which are true.
That is the confession That is the sefadver-
tised admission of Clyde Walb.
At the close Of the campaign they parade the
attorney general of the State in an undesirable DO
ston and force him to admit that perhaps Stephen
son has something which could force his way to
liberty If he revealed it, That is the vndication Of
Adams The State owes something to Arthur Gilom
for this admission

IS THIS ECONOMY9

Jupiter Fulminator has given the United States
forest service a hard summer
THE lightning hurer' flung his bolts about in
discriminatory and Jupiter Pluvus refused his assist
ance AS result forest fires did an excessively great
amount Of damage, especially the west coast.
This year there less snowfall than usual
but heavier springs rains, causing abundant grasses
and underbrush, which later dried. The summer had
less rain than usual with high temperatures and
wind and low humidity Combined with these cir
cumstances the unusually great number of electric
storms disastrous.
The fire season started early and ragged from
the middle of June through August.
Only the years 1910 and 1919 have had worse
fires than 1926. In 1910 heavy winds amounting al
most to a hurricane spread the flames In 1919 the
forest service, dsnrganzed by the war, had to battle
through an extra, rdinarily long SEASON with I'M
trained men.
For the past ten years forest fires have been de-
stroyng average OF 15.827331 acres yearly in the
United States most OF this forest land The aver
loss has been $2O944,916. When figures are tab
ulated for this year they will be far greater.
Secretary Jardine blames lack Of financial pre-
paredness for great part of the losses
1--WE need to have In advance enough men,
money and facilities to prevent fires or to cope with
Them before they grow la ge" he says. "As it is
are forced to spend large sums of money
after the fires have got of bounds and then
ask Congress to make up the costs through de.

Is this efficiency? Is it true economy?

PATRIOTISM. NOT POLITICS
Very soon the first act of the gre

Very soon the first act of the great drama of the
redemption of Indiana will see its curtain fall
1t is too soon to expect that the audience will
applaud and respond-and yet they may respond and
act
The Times, when the first challenge was made
to good repute of Indiana. demanded that the cloud
be removed from it's reputation
Since then many things have happened-but The
Times has held to it's course and to its purpose
Indiana must be cleared from the Ill fame that
has been put upon it by vindication of those in
power or it must send to the pentitentary those
who have betrayed and befoued Indiana
1t is not surprising unexpected that in the final
act and in the closing scene honest men will rush
to the rescue of that The Times believes is un-
equipped to fight for Indiana
There comes, for instance Ralph Kane the at
torney for this newspaper when it needed legal de-
Tense against the mayor of this city who claims
that he has been libelled.
Ralph Kane represents the old order He believes
in Jim Watson. And there is feeling of sympathy
and pity when he must face his final disillusion.
This newspaper printed prominently than
any other newspaper in this city, the appeal of Kane
to save his friend Jim Watson from the wave of
Indignation
Kane deserves that. This newspaper believes
that he is mistaken
And the appeal of Kane is the final confession of
''"NSOAioAi'
He has watched the boy who put on wooden shoes
to fool the Hollanders He has Hattered Kane as he
has fattered many men, with his letters and his
pretenses.
The pitiful thing about it all is that in this final
act Watson the youthful evangelist appeals to the
friends of his boyhood to save him.
1t is still pitiable that such men as Kane
do not understand that the friend their youth has
changed has betrayed their confidence has sold them
out year after year.
The best argument for Jim Watson comes from
Ralph Kane, intent in his hunt for fraud eager to
save his State as Jealous as he was when he
was young to protect and his idol
He cries aloud that the witnesses who testified
to the membership in the Khan of Watson are liars
and defamers. N
Let's admit that he is right, that Watson was
never a member of the Klan that he never for a
minute associated with the convict Stephenson.
Then let us turn to facts
Stephenson, rat like in his cell declared that he
could produce documentary evidence of fraud and
corruption
Attorney General Gillom, tonight will say that
he tried to blackmail his wayo to freedom
What if he did?
Let's look at Watson
When that challenge came Watson was silent
