WILL 1T WIN?

Can the campaign of silence win for Watson?
VIII the people of Indiana forget the many in
stances Of his long in Office which has brought
criticism often and praise seldom?
Are the voters of his party ready to make good
on the secret deals he has made for support of po
litical organizations and power seekers and permit
him to retain his office through their own lethargy
and indifference?
VIII the fear that the widely advertised ma
chine which he is presumed to have working Tor
him, cause the voter who does not agree with the
Watson viewpoint or ideal Of politics. to stay away
from the primaries?
II you should get real, frank confession from
any one of the leading supporters of Watson, you
would discover that the hope Of Watson for the
nomination is that the majority of the men and
women Of his own party will not go to the polls.
They understand that the full force of the Wat
son strength comes from those who have obtained
in the past hope for favors in the future
They know that the man or woman Of the Re.
publican party who has watched any part of Wat
sons public record and who wants nothing from
the Government but a square deal is much more
likely to vote against Watson than for him.
That is the why open campaign is be-
ing made for Watson and no arguments advanced
in his behalf except that ne has been in Office for
long time.
His managers hope that his record, both official
and in Republican politics, will be forgotten.
They hope most of all that the voters of their
party will not vote in the primaries and that the
compact machine of favor seekers and Office hold
ers will be sufficient to rule the party.
There is a strong indication that they will be
mistaken
The farmers appear to resent the inference that
they can be satisfied with bag of peanuts.
The wage workers are remembering Watson and
his indifference to their problems.
President Coolidge has issued call for broader
participation in Government by the people He
urges women to vote He urges them to get men
to vote.
If this appeal is answered, that speech will in
all probability be later interpreted in Indiana
direct attack upon Watson. For the thing Wat
sons managers fear is that you will cast intelli
gent ballot in the primaries.

OF its members had erred

those who lamented the actions of this pair, that
they change their thought and their impulses and
turn to paths which more acceptable.
There were prayers for the errng and earnest

making strength of character and conscientious
viction the guardians against sinfulness.
When these failed, they used the weapon Of os-
tracism of emphasizing social disapproval
of their actions.
They did not blame environment. They did not
suggest law forbiddng all women to sit in the
pew with any man. They did not establish rule
that men and women should not glance across the
pews nor endeavor to build a wall between them.
They understood that most men and women are
strong enough to withstand temptations, that only
the very few defy the conventions that only very
small number yield to their baser desires translate
a passing attraction into great passion.
They recognize that in this case, at least, it
was merely that ancient battle between vice and
virtue which has waged in the human heart from
the days Of Eden.
They chose the better remedy and the more ef-
fective weapon of argument, persuasion, of per-
sonal appeal to the good impulses and an endeavor
to make character the corrector of human weak
nesses.

SELECTION
OF JUDGES

Members of the Indianapolis
Bar Association have balloted on
the forty-four candidates for the
nine judicial offices in Marion
County to indicate their choices for
party nominees. A pre-primary
preferential vote. The result is a
Bar Association slate on both Re-
publican and Democratic tickets.
Presumably the lawyers, by
their votes, have indicated which
candidates, in their opinion, are
best qualified for places on the
bench. It will be interesting to
see how far ordinary voters, lay
men, follow the suggestions Of the
legal fraternity.
Theoretically the attorneys
themselves should know best as to
the fitness Of judicial candidates.
They are in intimate contact with
courts and legal machinery. The
plain citizen on the other hand,
seldom comes into court and is
then too scared to form an accur-
ate judgment as to judicial quail
fications.
Yet under our system Of popu
lar election the selection Of judges
is left to the people least qualified
to choose-the general public.
Maybe such popular election Of
judges Is all wrong. Certainly it
has often resulted in the elevation
of some startling insists to the
bench. Good handshakers who
think Blackstone is only hotel.
The Federal system Of making
judges, presidential appointment
and life tenure, may be better, 1t
may put more competent and fear
less men on the bench than is
possible by popular election. But
is also has flaws. Judges 50 often
become arbitrary, despotic and un-
satisfactory.
Perhaps the best system would
be to let the bar associations pick
the judges. In practice, however,
even that method would probably
develop wormy spots. No matter
how they are chosen, judges are
liable to be disgustingly human.
Until Providence by a special
act, or scientific evolution, Gre
ates a special race of judges. prob
ably popular election is as good a
way as any Of picking them.

WINTER
is OVER

Indianapolis coal dealers an
nounce reductions in the price of
coal for spring and summer deliv-
cry. The reductions range from
so cents a ton on Indiana lump to
$3.50 on Pocahontas lump.
The announcement marks the
official advent of spring. No mat
ter what your nose knows, or what
the weather bureau and it's Their
mometer says, winter is over. Coal
is down.
More than a hundred exhaustive
Investigations and a library Of
welghty tones written by coal ex-
perts, that brief announcement Of
Indianapolis coal dealers reveals
what is the trouble with the coal
mining industry.
1t is : seasonal industry. When
winter comes and the days grow
short and brittle and Boreas plants
a frigid foot in the back Of the
householder, the coal business
booms. Old Ultimate Consumer is
in the market for all the coal he
can get. Mines and miners work
at top speed and fuel prices soar.
Comes spring, the demand slack
ems. Prices droop. Mines close.
Miners fish, idle or strike. And coal
dealers run their brain cells into
lather trying to devise schemes tc
stimulate spring and summer de-
liveries.
Most coal can be stored without
deterioration. 1t is not a particu-
larly perishable product. In fact,
some coal won't even perish in a
furnace with the drafts wide open.
There is no reason why coal burned
in December could not be mined
the previous June. 1t just isn't.
The genius who can devise a
plan for keeping the coal mines
steadily in operation all the year
round, accommodating in spring and
summer the surplus to take care
of winters excess fuel demands,
will bring contentment and stabil-
ity to the coal fields and save old
Ultimate Consumer millions OF dol
lars.

STATE CHARITY
WORK PRAISE

DR.. Edward T. Devine, promi-
nent social worker of New York,
in Indianapolis to address the Com
munity Welfare Institute, praises
highly the work of the Indiana,
State board Of charities.
II know Of no State in the coun-s
try whose board of charities can
present such an enviable record Of,
accomplishment" he says.
Very flattering. Here is one de-
partment of our governmental,
machinery that Is functioninsl
smoothly, efficiently and in a man.
ner that ELECTS praise and crtti-
cism. What is the secret?
Perhaps one reason the charities
board presents such an enviable
record of accomplishment Is the
absence Of politics in board affairs.
Board members have been ap.
pointed, term after term, without
regard to political considerations
The personnel Of the department
has remained unchanged despite
changes in the party or faction
ruling State affairs.
John A. Brown, secretary. ac-
lively in charge Of the work Of the
board, has been with the depart
ment for years. So has L. II.
Millikan, in charge OF the work with
dependent children. Consequently
there has been a continuity of
policy and effort, undisturbed by
political shakeups and orgies of
hiring and firing.
Put competent men in charge
and keep them there, has been the
policy.
Somewhat different than the
policy pursued with our municipal
boards, park board, board of
safety and board Of works. And
the results are different. DO you
hear any distinguished visitor
praising our municipal boards?

Say, Mister! Oh! Have You Met Rosie's
Sister? Cause She Is Some Real Girl
BY Walter ID. Hickman

Rosie was some gal herself If we
can believe the song writer.
Rosie had more beaus than a CEN
tipede has hips, according to the
man who turned out the tune and
the words and also according to
Wendell Hall, known as The Red
Headed Music Maker"

Mister. Have You Met Rosie's Sis
ter?" as recorded on a Brunswick by
Hall, accompanied by Tarapatch.
Here is one of those warm and
good little novelty numbers that has
class, charm, laughs and some real
melody-that stuff which gets into
your very being. Hall is a comedian
who knows how to register. You can
understand every word that he says.
He tells you that Rosie is some girl.
having more sweeties than Juliet
had Romeos, but that you should
meet Rosie's sister.
Rosie has made the world daffy,
but Rosie5s sister is as sweet as
taffy. Here is a novelty Brunswick
record that I am quite wild over.
The other morning when I was
taking my morning plunge in my
bath tub. I permitted my phono-
graph TO play this Rosie number.
It's quite the thing now to take a
morning bath plunge to popular
tunes, try it If you don't get up too
early, as the neighbors might object.

"Nightie-Night" and Looking for
a Boy" two hits from the musical
comedy hit, "Tp-Toes," sung by
Virginia Rea, a fine artist, and
FRANKLIN Baur with the Brunswick
Hour orchestra. Here are two really
fine classy numbers put over with
true artistry. Here is the intimate
moonlight parlor stuff. which is so
successful in clean plays. You are
going to love the lyrics as well as
the melody. If you want the best,
then buy this Brunswick record.

R h1saE IN INDIANA S y o1fISHS
FROM ONE CELL
TO ANOTHER

Ralph Lee, who has seeped out
of more prison cells than any
other Hoosier Of his years. is be-
hind the bars again. Nine days
after he and sixteen other con-
victs made a spectacular escape
from the Tennessee State Peni.
Tertiary he was picked up and
jagged by Buffalo police.
Marion County officers are on
the way to bring him back to In
dianapolis to stand trial for muir
der. If that fails he still faces
enough uncompleted sentences
here and there to keep him busy
the rest of his life.
Life to Ralph Lee seems to be
simply a succession Of spry leaps
from one cell to another, inter
spersed with brief intervals OF
precarious freedom while he is be-
ing chased.
No one can blame him for find-
ing prison life irksome and I'm
proving every opportunity to es-
cape. The blame for his record
Of escapes is on our lax prison
and Jail systems.
In the cruel old days when q
person was dumped into prison
he stayed there until he rotted or
was released by the authorities.
Prisoners didn't ooze out of the
bastile every few minutes. The
Count of Monte Cristo didn't pry
himself out Of his dungeon with
a can opener.
Perhaps our humane treatment
of prisoners is better. But when
such fellows as Ralph Lee are
placed behind the bars sufficient
precaution should be taken to
insure holding them, even II it
does disturb their privacy and
cause them discomfort. The law"
can't spend all its time chasing
agile jail-breakers.
