JUSTICE TO TIM

Almost in the spirit of apology, The Times feels
called upon to congratulate Senator Watson on his
latest official action.
Perhaps not exactly an apology, but say rather
in gadness to find act which is logical and true to
ties and Royalties to present pleasing contrast to the
others.
Very often The Times has been called upon to
give to the people the real about the activities
of the Senator because it alone of Indianapolis news
papers is free to tell the truth about Watson
1t has, in the spirit of duty to the voters, shown
his long list of treacheries to his fellow partisans
how he has contributed from time to time the po-
litical eclipse and defeats Of Postmaster General
New and Senator Beverage through his personal ma
chine.
Now record for him act which shows such
tenderness of heart and such fine loyalty to his
friends that perhaps many will overlook the past.
The great heart of Watson breaks as he thinks of
the two Jones brothers, bootleggers and consprators
languishing in Federal prison.
One Of these Joneses the publicity man for

THE PARIS, REUNION

This newspaper several weeks ago suggested
mildly that members of the American Legion give a
certain amount of prayerfu thought to that proposed
pilgrimage to Paris next year. We had in mind the
state of feeling in France
More recently we frankly urged that the plan be
called off for the present This after had re-
ceived from William Phillip Sims, foreign editor OF
the Scripps Howard newspapers, further report on
the feelings of the French Mr.. Sims lived and
worked with the French people many years. He is
among people he knows when he visits Paris and his
report was not based on superficial observation.
Now we have before a letter written by Henry
d. Lindsey, the first national commander Of the
American Legion. 1t is written from Paris Lindsey
had stopped there route home from Warsaw
where he was delegate to the meeting of the Inter-
national Society of the World War Veterans
He says the proposed reunion in Paris contains
possibilities of great good great harm. He eluc
dates this. If General Pershing were to head the
American voyages, he thinks the result would be
great good. Otherwise
Well, Pershing's name will be proposed for ma
tional commander of the legion at the coming con-
vention in Philadelphia If he is chosen that doubt
less will result in his heading the expedition and
the worry of Henry D. Lindsey will be set at rest
We, too, believe the presence of Pershing in Paris
would have good effect
Still, we renew suggestion that the legion
give prayefful thought to the subject before it finally
decides to cross the pond next summer

the Klan and in three years grabbed $4,000. He
was also prohibition director for Georgia.
The judge who sentenced him said 1t an
outrageous case, and the Government spent many
thousands Of dollars on prosecuting the gigantic
spiracy which deluged the East with alcohol.
But Watson appeals for their freedom. He can
not stand the thought of these in Jail.
Perhaps he compares that two years sentence
with that of four months given to the Negro who ad-
mitted participating in the theft of $4,000 worth Of
whisky from the local Federal building and believes
that lit is too severe.
In full justice to Jim, let it be recorded to his
credit that these booteggers will remain in Jail
if his appeal to the powers that be can turn them
loose
His great heart urges him to plead for clemency.
His kindness forgive the criminal especially the
criminal who smart enough to nick the Khan for
$4,000 in three years.
So if you remember Watson's other acts, which
may have seemed callous, chalk up this one to his
credit
When an influential bootlegger and crooked pro-
hibtion agent gets into JAIL Watson does not let their
records interfere with his compassion

WHICH is THE WAIVER SEX9
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

In spite of the fact that we are forever povderin
our noses in public, the men excel in vanity
For woman, when she lis of the peacock variety
ness and does not believe that ntrinsically she is
above other
= Men, on. the contrary, when they are puffed IN
with vanity are overcome not much with their
looks but with their general excellence and superiority
That they are In reality far more vain than women
proved by the fact that scarcely one of them
1ancies that, once he has married woman she could
ever look at any man but himself Whereas all wives
are always scared to death because of the fear that
their husbands may become enamored of other women
That fact in itself-and will dare denv it-;s
enough to stamp man the vainest of persons For
most of them are convinced that having been born
males makes them, somehow superior creatures They
are generally quite certain of their own Vaccinations
ana peeve all women are dying for their attentions
= And even the least conceited of the male sex {s
perfectly sure that he could have any woman for
the asking. Whenever the most timid and modest Of
them remains true to his wife through many years
and, thank heaven, there many who do--he never
takes this as matter of the fulflment of his duty
but believes that he has accomplished the miracle Of
the age ~, .fattet'
He takes his wife's fidelity to him as a mere mat
ter Of course but himself that he has been a
remarkably fine husband because he has kept his mar
riage vow. =
And you diagram this fact for him. and yet the
most brilliant masculine mind will never be able to
just how you get that idea
When it comes to real vanity, we women simply
can't hold candle to the men.

THE LESSON OF LENROOT :

Outside of Wisconsin probably little interest is
taken in the fate of Irvine L. Lenroot defeated this
week for denomination to the United States Senate
National interest has lain chiefly in the question OF
whether the La Toilette forces, under young BOD,
would retain the hold of this important State
achieved by the elder La Toilette. Lenroot in the
national imagination, is pale personality
1t is worth while to review one aspect OF the
campaign against Lenroot therefore because it il
Illustrates the part played by such pale personalities
in our public affairs There may be a lesson in it
for other States
do you remember Teapot Dome?" young Bob
asked each of his audiences during his stumpng tour
against Lenroot Each time he was met with angry
applause The Wisconsin voters do remember Teapot
Dome They remember the part played by their
fighting Senator the elder Bob and the part played
by their conservative Senator Lenroot.
four-hour speech by the late Senator La Fol-
lette on April %, 1922, the beginning of the in
vestigation into the national oil scandal. He called
attention to the leasing Of the naval OF reserves to
the Doheny and Sinclair interests and demanded an
inquiry Ordinarily Lenroot, chairman Of the Pub
lie Lands Committee would have directed such an
inquiry but La Toilette suspected Lenroot of indif-
ference and asked Walsh of Montana to take the mi
tiative Walsh's energy in the matter caused the
ousting of Secretary Fall and Secretary DENLY from
the Cabinet.
Young Bob, in his speeches, told of Lenroots
visit accompanied by Senator Smoot, to Falls hotel
rooms for secret conference during Christmas week,
1928. Following this conference came that letter
from Fall to Lenroot in which Fall said he had OBJ
tanned loan of 100000 from Edward B. Mclean.
Mclean under oath later, forced to admit that
he had not loaned this to FALL and the story of
Doheny's sending the money to Fall in the famous
little black bag came out ~,
When Walsh went to Florida to obtain Falls
testimony it was Lenroot that Fall wired his pro-
tesla cry for help, in fact.
With the Senate aroused the revelations,
Lenroot conferred with President Coolidge Soon
after with illness his reason, he retired entirely
from the inquiry.
Telling the story, step by step, young Bob de-
clared
1.-THE record speaks for itself, and it cannot be
eliminated as most important issue in thist cam
paign."S
Then he took up the matter of the vote to seat
Newberry whose expenditure of $4,000 for sena-
torial nomination in 1918 was a national scandal in
those days of small figures. He quoted Lenroot's
speech defending Newberry Just Watson defended
Newberry and still defends his vote.
Lenroot's course in these two unquestion-
ably contributed greatly to his defeat this week.
The United States Senate contains many who
have the same friends Lenroot. They coming
up for reelection. Will Indiana show as much in
telgence as has been shown by Wisconsin?

Same Old Story

Vice running to prudishness and
prudishness running to vice, it is the
same old story in the same old way.
When you find people trying to
make themselves righteous by law
you will find them making an awful
mess of things.
People are capable Of about so
much goodness. eff it runs to lip
music, there isn't much left for char
acter.
Rome under. Augustus tried to
restore the old-time simplicity by
limiting the cost of banquets, but
only succeeded in making suborners
of those who could afford and para
sites of those whom necessity forced
to take the money.
Charles the Second of England
tried to save his face by depressing
the coffee houses, but only. to have
his subjects go in for a mawkish
debauch which brought on revolu-
ton and drove his family from the
throne.
There is nothing new under the
sun in principle, Though we may
think it is because of difference in
expression.

Why Are the Powerful In
fIuences Rushing to Aid
the Jones BoyS7
By NJ. e. Tracy


Why should three prominent MEM
bers of the Anti-Saloon League and
five dry Senators be signing a petit
ton to get the Jones brothers out
of prison?
Does the fact that one brother
acted as publicity agent for the Ku-
Klux Klan, while both were con-
sistent boosters for that organization
have anything to do with it? Has
the X. K. K. become a political
clearing house through which dry
sentiment can be enlisted for jailed
bootleggers and bootlegger votes be
modified for dry candidates? Ae
The Jones brothers-Winfield and
Neufield-were convicted of one of
the most outrageous conspiracies- to
violate the prohibition law yet un-
earthed.
They diverted hundreds of barrels
of alcohol to illegal use after hav-
ing gotten into a drug and chemical
company for that purpose. and after
having learned the tricks of the
trade as employees of Uncle. Sam.
Both had been connected with the
Internal Revenue Department and
one had taken postgraduate
course in the gentle art of rum run
ming as assistant prohibition director
for the State of Georgia.
They operated in Baltimore, where
bootlegging is supposed to be rea-
sonably safe and were convicted by
Baltimore jury which is particu-
larly convincing, since Baltimore
juries are known to be fair, if not
liberal, toward bootleggers.

TTPSHAW OTTT

Congress has lost picturesque figure in Repre-
sentative w. D. Upshaw, defeated for denomination
in Georgia, but hardly an important one even for
the prohibition cause he has championed so mill
family
House visitors always wanted to see Upshaw
And he was picturesque figure, with his slender
be-cad frame swinging along on crutches or sitting
on the front row with his red hair waving militanty
above the burning eyes and compressed lips with
which he always listened to attacks on prohibition.
Those eyes apd lips bespoke the fanatic which he
was His speeches were bitter vulgar attacks on all
who dared to challenge the perfection of prohibition
They made many enemies as friends
And, 1t was shown by the Reed committee he
has always taken care to extract the last cent he
could Tor his speeches. from the AntSaloon League,
Tor which he had been paid speaker for many years
and the league knew him as persistent bargainer.
