SAVE REMY AND LAW
u ranp Is after William H. Remy.

The gang is after William II. Remy.
Make no mistake about where the interest Of the
political bosses of Marion County is centered next
Tuesday.
They may be talking about big Offices, but they
want to control the Office of prosecuting attorney.
They know that as long William II. Remy
holds that place they cannot protect their friends
or grant favors to criminals.
They know that their grip on the underworld
and it's profits are always threatened unless they
can deliver protection to the bootleggers the
gangster, the gambler.
They would rather control that job than
TO have control Of the governorship of this State.
These bosses do not want man who showed the
courage which it took to send D. c. Stephenson to
the penitentiary. They want who can be
persuaded to fix cases and to protect, not punish,
evil doors.
These bosses are now planning to punish Remy
for his prosecution of Stephenson.
They are relying on lethargy and Indifference on
the part of the people who stand for law and order
They are relying lining up all those who
resent the Stephenson conviction, all who want to
break the law all the underworld and then add the
votes Of enough good intentioned but badly informed
people to defeat Remy,
They are counting on the fact that Remy is
not a practical politician, that he has no organiza
ton of workers that he does not use the usual meth
DDS of making a campaign.
They counting most on the hope that the
and women of this city who desire a fair and hon
est administration OF the law without fear and with
out favor will be too busy to vote in the primaries
If there ever emergency in which the de-
cent, the lawabding and the orderly citizens should
take stand and vote together it is in this primary
and for William H. Remy.

THE REAL MENACE

Not line of the Sermon on the Mount can
be made effective by Congress or Legislature"
This is of the pungent sentences from
very scholarly and thoughtful address by former Sen
ator Albert J. Beverage, speaking a lawyer to a
group of lawyers
His protest is against sumptuary legislation. as
substitute for character
1t appeal for the return to the constitu-
ton as the guardian of personal liberty. Every
paragraph of his address sounds its warning against
the fate Of a nation which endeavors to substitute
statutes for good sense, and sound hearts
Here few paragraphs, each one of which
is an editorial of it's own:
Those who try to intimidate judges are enemies
Of the republic and judges who yield worse"
Everybody is so interfered with by our practi-
cal legislation that public psychology of antagon-
ism to all law has been created"
MANY Of the statutes are not only unavoidable,
but beyond the domain of law altogether"
"None of the most important phases of life can
be controlled even Influenced by man-made law"
80 many exactions are laid on commerce and
finance that business men have hard time to be
sure that they are not lawbreakers and certain
censorship of the press, drama and literature, much
than that of the ancient Star Chamber seri
ously urged"
at is proposed to handcuff the mind Of man and
make ignorance and prejudice the jailers Of the in
tellect and knowledge Of the nation.
ut is a fact that on the second quarter OF the
Twentieth Century American citizens are, by law,
forbidden to do more things and, by law, compelled
to do things than the subjects of Car or
Sultan in the eighteenth century"
"Overgovernment, unnatural repression and legis-
lation outside of the domain Of law cannot go on
forever any than any kind of debauch can CON-
tinue indefinitely"
IF continue to elect politicians whose chief
concern is reelection, shall continue to have bad
laws and stupid laws and increasing number of
them
1.-THE most trouble in this world is and always
has been caused by busybody sticking his or her
finger into somebody ese's pie"
"In country vast ours with essential diff
ferences of soil, climate and habits Of life rigid
standards for everybody and everything cannot be
dictated and enforced from one far off autocrac cen
ter"
1t is unfortunate that this message from Indiana
cannot be sounded again and again in the halls of
Congress.
1t is a message which is sadly needed
1t is real craftsmanship, but Indiana, at present,
is contributing very little to real craftsmanship

PUTTING THEM
ON RECORD

L. Ert Slack, candidate for the
Democratic long-term senatorial
nomination, in announcing his de-
cision not to answer missionaries,
with which he has been flooded by
numerous groups. organizations,
unfit reform and social agencies,
reveals one of the chief tribula-
tons OF candidates for public Of
flee.
He has received missionaries
asking whether he is for or
against prohibition, child labor,
State constabulary, workmen's
compensation. State income tax,
old age pensions, League Of Ma
tions, World Court, county unit
school system, liquidation Of
foreign debts, and so on ad lib.
Putting candidates on record for
or against some cause" sponsored
by militant group Of uplifters is
now the favorite indoor amuse-
ment. Presumably i ( a candidate
fails to reply faNOrably to the
QUESTIONABLE of any particular
group that group will attempt to
defeat him at the polls. No matter
If he is otherwise peculiarly quail
fed for the office he seeks and
has transcendent ability and I'M
questioned integrity.
OF course any organization, or
group of voters, has a perfect
right to quizz candidates and as
certain their views.
But the QUESTIONABLE is grossly
overworked. The character. ability
and past record of a candidate are
more important in determining his
qualifications for Office than a
categorical reply to a question

most OF the missionaries they re-
ceive are no more vital to the
general public than their views on
evolution or the nebular hypo-
thesis.

Yet we seem to have as much time
at our disposal as those communi-

What's tho use of the daylight

all the bright, shining hours its
proponents claim It has saved9
For quite some time the day has
consisted of twenty-four hours.
The city council can't lengthen or
shorten 1t or change the ratio OF
daylight to darkness.
With the daylight hours thus
inexorably fixed by a higher au-
thority than a city ordinance, it
doesn't make any real difference
whether 5 o'clock Isl called or
vice versa. Timepieces may be
set forward one hour, stopped al

So adoption Of daylight saving

that it benfits the toiling masses.

MRS. BAUR ENDS
 BUSINESS CAREER

Chicago, July 2s LPt-The LaSalle street to which she came as a sten- ographer in her teens, recorded to- day the transfer of four million dol lars worth of securities, whose sale virtually writes finis to the busi- ness career of Mrs. Jacob Baur.
 Mrs. Baur, leader in Chicago so- ciety. recently ran for congress on 9 wet platfor.
 The four million in bonds is a minority share in the Liquid Car. bonic company, an enterprise which began 3S years ago with an invest ment of s75,000, long before the discovery that Americans liked 'fizzy" drinks made the soda foun- tain a national institution.
 Persons familiar with the com pany and the industry generally generally credit Mrs. Baur with chief responsibility for the strides and which gave her, as vice presi- dent. a share in profits of nearly s10,000,000.
 The announcement of Mrs. Baur's retirement came with advertising for sale Of s4,00O,000 in first mortgage bonds of the company, organized to take over the business of the origi- nal firm. founded by the late Jacob Baur.
