WHAT IF THE DEMOCRATS DO
WIN?
BY n. ID. Cochran

Undoubtedly the Democratic party will make gains
this year 1t may gain control of the United States
Senate and largely reduce the Republican majority in
the House But that won't mean anything so far as
the next presidential election is concerned.
1t may inspire Democrats with hope for 1928, but
unless the party stands for something besides geogph
zeal strength in the solid South its hope won't be
worth ten cents on the dollar two years from now.
One trouble with the Democratic party is that
there is nothing national about it, 1t has sectional
skeleton with neither nor flesh on it. It's back
bone is the solid South which strayed away
from the bill Of rights and the democracy Thomas
Jeferso nthan any other section of the country.
The solid South is almost solidly fundamentalist
prohbitionst and KuAux as 1t is Democratic. 1t gets
its political inspiration from the Anti Saloon League
organized and directed by bunch OF Ohio Republican
politicians who cooperated with Harry Daugherty to
make Warren Harding President in 1920 and have kept
the Republican party in power since.
Whatever there is of the liberalism and small "d''
democracy of Jefferson is found eastern north
central States. In the West Northwest the party
has shrunk almost to memory. The forces within
the party that threw the liberalism on to the
scrap heap followed after false gods make no APP
peal to the progressivsm of the West. And the De
mocracy Of the dry South and the are oil
and water. They won't mix into harmonious poiti-
cal highbal.
The McAdoo game for 1928 appears to be clear
enough 1t aims at combination of the South and
West doing political Charleston bonedry plat
form. But that won't work. Coolidge could beat it
to death and never peep prohibition. Other
matters than prohibition involved in the govern
ment of this republic The Republican party has
squeezed about all the political out of prohbi.
ton 1t won't leave any crumbs for Democrat.
McAdoo and Smith will probably chew each other
up as they did in 1924 and make it impossible for any
other Democrat to gather up the remains out of
them make over party that would command enough
public confidence to win.
The plain truth is that the AntiSaloon League
under Republican leadership led the Democratic
party into deep hole and is sitting on the lid 1t will
take keener leadership than the party has had in
recent years to find way out OF the hole.

GROWN HER QUEEN

In the dismal world with its stories of graft and
sadness and sorrow, there occasionally comes a
CLEAN that restores faith.
Look for moment at the little town of Albany.

limitations and nhibtions and gives such an example
of courage and faith that she is entitled to her
crown.
In the Star at Muncie. there appears this adver-
tisement set in bold type that all may read and
know:

THE REAL QUESTION

Tho natural curiosity and attention which the
bringing back from his prison cell of D. G. stephen
son. once the political of the State must not
overshadow the real question
The people must keep in mind the history OF
these charges and their nature and the conditions
under which they were made
Thomas Adams of the Republican Editorial AS
socation published what he said were letters sent
from his cell by Stephenson
Those letters declared that he could prove by
documents that there had been gigantic election
frauds purchased for 100000 two years ago, that
there had been frauds and corrupt votes
He said he could prove bribery in the last cleo
ton. He said that he could prove other crimes
Adams. telling his story to six Senators, made
demand upon Governor Jackson that these Sena-
tors be permitted with newspaper men OF standing
to interview Stephenson and secure from him state
ment.
There was refusal to order Warden DAILY to
open the door when DAILY repeatedly refused
Jackson waived Adams to the prison trustees and
the trustees upheld Daly-and one saw Stephen
For FIVE days there was no interest and no ac-
tivity Then every one demanded an INJURY.
week later there is grand jury ordered to In
vestigate and the probe has begun, very properly
and very earnestly.
But the bringing of Stephenson is not the only
question nor should he be the only witness.
His word would hardly be evidence anywhere.
His documents, If he had them would
But common sense may suggest that he may have
every reason for refusing to give such docu-
ments.
He is under the severest penalty which he can
receive. He has no fear Of contempt of courts or
conviction charges of perjury He is in happy
position to laugh at courts. They have given him
their worst
But the question of whether he has such docu-
ments or did have them at any time is happily not
limited to any words from this witness.
There is the statement of photographers who say
they did make copies of documents which this
thought important enough to have thus preserved
In duplicate after he had received his life sentence
and presumably not interested further in affairs.
He might be presumed to have been very much in
terested IN opening those doors at Michigan City by
any means at his command.
That is the question. What those docu-
ments which were photographed? Do they still ex-
ist7 Where are they?
And to their discovery or their explanation every
good citizen should lend every aid to the prosecutors
in their effort to find them.

Long before man learned to warm his habtaton
with fire. the bees had discovered muscular exercise
whereby in very cold weather they could raise the
temperature of their homes as much as thirty-fve
degrees centigrade
We cool our rooms with electric fans. but before
electricity was harnessed the bumblebees had
learned to station individuals along their passage
ways to create cool air currents by constantly hut-
tering their wings.
Had man paid heed to the insect world long ago,
the gardener might have learned points in his art
from the ambrosa beetle, which plants beds of
succuent fungus in its burrows to furnish nourish-
ment for its young. The soldier might have learned
the possibilities of poisonous gases in warfare from
the bombardier beetle which hurls discomiting
charges of acrid gas at it's enemies.
The surgeon might have found hints on the use
of anesthetics from the solitary wasp, which thrusts
1t drugladen sting into its spider insect victim
and by that stupefes and preserves it food
for future baby wasps.

Why Investigate?

in conflicts with the same type of
thick-and-thin Democrats every time
we sought to pass some kind of
forward-lookng resolution or to
thwart the purposes of the party
machine-such as railroading in
structions for Parker through the
State convention in 1904, and de-
feating our attempt to indorse Gov
ernor Marshalrs plan to nominate a
Senator in 1910. 1 know all about
that old reactionary breed of safe
and sane" editors in the same way
Mr.. Adams is coming to know them.
Then came the avalanche of de-
mands for a full and complete 'in-
vestigation" from the Governor, who
five months before had said he could
see nothing good" in an ihvestiga-
ton; from the State chairman, who,
the day before, had sought to rele-
gate the thing to the realm of cam
paign lies; from Senator Watson
and from Senator Robinson; from
this and that lesser luminary in a
murky crisis which drove them into
a position as utterly illogical as the
one which assumes that a tariff on
the farmers wheat will raise it's
price, while the same tariff viii
cause the iron and steel Of the inn
plements with which he gamers it
to fall in price; that the wool the
farmer sells is made higher by the
tariff, and the woolens he must buy
are made lower. Such now is the
elastic logic of these sorely perplexed
politicians to meet the charges Of
an honest Republican editor. Why
investigate? Were these gentlemen
right when they ignored or discred-
tied the thing they now demand
shall be investigated? That's what
Mr.. Adams has been trying to do
for a long while, and that's exactly
what the Governor and the rest of
them have been trying to suppress.
If Mr.. Adams speaks spuriously now,
he spoke just as spuriously six
months ago, and when # he did so
speak the opportunity to show him
up would have been welcomed. If
he now speaks at the eleventh hour,
who is responsible for its lateness.

Modern Art Is No Longer Puzzle
Picture When Studied at the SesQui
By Walter ID. Hickman

Modern art is a good deal like mod
ern jazz music, as it takes time to
know what it is all about.
To be modern" in the art world
dc not mean that the artist is a
freak or a complete killer Of an the
traditions of art.
l have the most simple rule about
beauty in art-find the meaning.
There is a meaning to everything,
and in art this is essential.
Carried my rule into the galleries
at the Sesquicentennial in Phnadel-
phia a few weeks ago when I in
vaded this interesting center.
Modern art catches the philoso-
phical side of life and expresses it
in method different from the old

of a duly appointed committee of the

relevant and illogical?
1t was several days after Mr.
Adams had made his charges that
any public notice whatever was
given to them. Then came the first
notice of any kind to appear in the
Indianapolis evening paper support
ing Senators Watson and Robinson
in this campaign. although both in
indianapolis and Chicago and charges
had been made, even sensationally,
by reputable newspapers. For five
days the startling episode had been
Systematically suppressed. The en-
tire substance Of the things finally
printed in the Republican evening
paper in its sloshing around for
something to say was shifty pro
nOuncement by a State Chairman

was knocked from under them by
an other intellectually honest editor

AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION

Whatever else the grand jury investigation Of the
charges of fraud corruption and bribery may pro-
duoe, It has already revealed situation which the
people of this county should not permit.
I'VE find there a prosecutor who is intent upon
following these grave charges.
For Prosecutor Remy, 1t may be confidently as
serted IL interested not in the fact Of whether
convict serving life sentence for murder, can be
forced to dsgorge any documentary evidence Of this
graft, corruption and fraud, but whether that cor
ruption bribery and fraud may cCist.
Hs sincerity of purpose shown when he went
outside the ranks Of oficialdom and obtained the
services Of Ralph Kane who has reputation for
being vigilant sincere and earnest
II may be taken for granted that he desires to
discover whatever evidence may exist, whether it
comes from Stephenson who admittedly in
position to know OF such graft and corruption II
did exist, but from any others who may have had
knowledge of these transactions.
But he had to appeal to the police for two officers
to serve subpoenas for witnesses
At this time and not for months has he had the
assistance of trained investigators to probe and find
evidence.
Accused men have the power to hire men to col
lect evidence for their defense. The State has no
men the prosecutor trust to help him send
criminals to prison,
And in this crisis, 1t is even more ptiable If
there be frauds and corruption those guilty have the
advantage of the lack of trained assistants intent
uncevering 1t, for their own protection.
Here is something that must never happen again
The State and the people cannot afford to permit
their prosecutor to be without the means of corral
ling and obtaining evidence when crime has been
committed
He must not depend upon his friendly or unfriends
ly relation with other departments to hamper or
make successful the administration Of law
