BAKERS PROPOSAL

few weeks ago Georges Clemenceau, war pre-
mier of France, knocked at the door which would
lead to reconsideration of the interallied debt set
tlements.>
He was turned away. To his impassioned en-
treaty there was the cool response The debt settle
ment question is closed"
Now comes Newton D. Baker Secretary of War
when the American armies fighting in France
with a knock at the same door
He would not only have the debt question re-
opened but he would have the debts Cancelled and
the German reparations revised.
Where the "Tiger of France" appealed to sent
ment-the kindly regard of great Nation for an
other in distress-Baker would revise the debt set
Elements because he finds they do not answer the
requirements of logic and common sense.
His argument is keen and relatively simple. Ger
many he says, cant possibly pay the reparations
called for by the Dawes plan. That means that the
allies can only pay by depriving themselves OF
goods which they need and which we don't need
goods, in fact, which will do us more harm than
good and they will throw workers making similar
things out of jobs.
To collect debt payments at the expense of i'm
poverishing Europe he thinks is bad business 1t
will cripple market which is essential to the con-
tinued prosperity of this country It's penny wise
pound foolish lose ten dollars Of profit in the
future for dollar of debt payments now.
There's much than this kernel of business
logic in the wartime secretary's argument The
possibility of world cooperation and the establish
ment of cordial international relationships is men
aced by debt diplomacy, he thinks.
AS examples he cites the debates over whether
the money advanced to Europe used strictly for
war purposes. 1t was needed only account of the
war, and to bubble over whether it was spent for
food guns he regards as unworthy of this country
Also he would not have defend our debt
claims as way of preventing Europe from hiring sol
diers when we stand apart and refuse to lend our
moral support to European stability.
All in ALL it is a powerful demand which former
Secretary Baker makes at the door which leads
into the inner sanctum of American international
finance.
It's a demand unsmirched by political animus,
and untanted by the possibility Of personal gain.
There powerful arguments against accedng
to it. The arguments, however, not conclusive
enough the curt proposition that 1.-The debt
settlement question is closed"
The door should at least be opened long enough
to have some responsible person come out and offer
the other side of the argument-as simply and con-
vncingly as Baker offers his.

THE CASE OF FOGARTY

Aside from the very pardonable pride in the
honor to any citizen of Indiana the people Of this
State should have interest in the selection of Ed
ward Fogarty by committee of citizens of Chicago
go there and clean up the graft conditions of the
Jail in the second largest city
When Fogarty, who for years had managed the
State penitentiary and made it model for penal ins
tutions was relieved of his place by Governor jack
son. the announcement was made that he was leaving
voluntarily to go into the real estate business.
That was but few months ago. The selection
by the Chicago group made from among appi
cants for the place
The record shows that Fogarty interested
in prison work master hand at management,
was successful in not only maintaining discipline
but in salvaging the human driftwood that came his
way and happy in that work
Fogarty went when D. c. Stephenson, now in
side those prison walls on life term for murder
was "the law in Indiana"
1t was he who had announced far in advance of
the Jackson election that Fogarty would go-and he
went
At that time it is not probable that this former
political car, whose power great enough to
make Governors, believed that he would be behind
those prison bars
He was too busy debating appointments, writing
laws, selecting United States Senators by appoint
ment, handing out jobs to those who still fill them.
The honor paid to Fogarty only emphasizes the
loss to Indiana through the political hates and
mites which put into office the present set Of officials
and which sent to the Senate of the close friends
and proteges of this famous prisoner
When Chicago unable to keep it's criminals
behind bars, when booze parties were permitted to
bootleggers, when graft was rampant it sends out
call for help and it selects the best man in the
Nation the former Indiana warden, who was taken
away from his life work through the dictation of
man who would, by the shift of fortunes have be-
come his ward and prisoner
This is worth remembering.

people who have examined the evidence or even gone
lightly into the case, believe it is miscarriage of
justice. This and the Mooney case" have come to
stand for what may happen under our uncertain jul
dicsl system.
Opposed to this body of opinion is the attitude
of certain individuals of the bench and bar whom
we will attribute an equal amount of sincerity and
patriotism who apparently would rather see the trag-
edy stalk on to cool and deliberate judicial murder
than to admit that such grotesque travesty on jus
tice is possible in governmental system.
To admit that these were framed and that
the State authorities either SO prejudiced or
so stupid not to see through the trickery would,
they think, discredt the judiciary and all machinery
of government 1t would bring judges and courts into
contempt.
But here now is way out Here is a way for
the courts and judges to Save their faces" Here
is direct evidence by this professional criminal Civ
ing inside and expert testimony who was and who
was not present at that famous pay roll robbery.
Here is a chance for the court to say, 1--WE did not
know before. Now we convinced" and to open
the doors of prison to two innocent much perse-
cuted men,

Tone Changes

There is more TO Frank Earring
tons case than the simple matter
OF providing for his family.
There is a question OF policy. not
to say principle.
How much does this man owe
trade unionism. particularly the
branch OF it through which he
achieved ~all the fame he has thus
far won?
What effect will his joining the
other side have?
VIII thousands OF miners get less
pay when Frank Harrington sits
across the table from their rep
resentatives?
You can sense Il subtle change
Of attitude in what he says.
The coal missing industry in the
United States is 100 per cent over
developed" he says. There are
two mines and two workers where
one is needed TO supply the normal
needs of consumption. Whoever
produces the cheapest coal gets the
business. Union wages are too high
and Union operators cannot compete
on an even basis with open shop
operators"
In all OF which there is undoubted-
ly a lot of truth, but IT does not
sound like the old Frank Earring
ton,

TESS that 1 haven't had such a good
time seeing a comedy since Charlie
Chaplin did Shoulder Arms" AS
you know, I consider Shoulder
Arms" the best movie comedy ever
made, and while l am confessing
Will admit that Buster keaton in
battling Butler" is the next best
movie comedy as far as I am con-
cerned. When Buster starts to get
acquainted with the boxing gloves
l think you will admit that his COM
edy business is a knockout. He
must have taken a lot of personal
punishment while making this movie.
Everybody was bowling when
saw this new Keaton movie yester-
day. And the first part of he COM
edy is just as strong as the last
half.
Buster is first seen as the pam
pered rich son who had a man to
light his cigarettes. So our hero
is induced to go out west and rough
1t.
He roughs it in fine style with a
high powered motor car, a tent
with drawing room equipment and
kitchenette which would do credit
to a $500 a month New York apart
ment.
Buster carries enough clothes
with him to suit the Prince Of
Wales. He has the right garments
for all kinds Of sports, including fish
ing and hunting. And what a
comedy knockout is the part de-
voted to his hunting excursion.
Here is rare comedy business.
All of this style in roughing it is
just an appetizer for the prize fight
scenes. Really, l am quite sure
that this is the funniest thing that
l<eaton has given the screen.
And even when he is getting his
"block" knocked off, he doesn't
change his tombstone expression.
Really, this man is a comedy mar
vel with a way all his own.

MAKE YOUR OWN ANTIQUES
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON -

Never before have we had so many beautiful homes
and so few people staying in them
The country is dotted with lovely houses mansions
and cottages. We have polished floors gorgeous
rugs to cover them tiled bathrooms, graceful furni-
ture family glowing lamps, armchars. books in al
turing rows, atmosphere of comfort.
the average American is able to provide himself with
a charming home, we'll furnished.
And yet n large number Of these beautiful build
ngs merely houses dressed up furniture stores
There is spirit of comradeshp and which hal
lowed the od-fashioned sitting room when Brussels
carpets and lace curtains enlarged portraits upon
eases held fashionable sway.
What our homes need is less modern furni-
ture and more people in them. We have many tap
estried chairs and not enough babies
For the real loneliness of the home consists in
those places on the carpet where the feet Of
fathers and have trod, scratched up tables
where baby fists have pounded the pencil marks upon
the stairway where the middleszed boy tried his ar.
tistic talents
We are addicted to antiques nowadays. Every.
four-poster beds which used by somebody's
greet grandmother, and for quaint old sofas where
grandpa sat when he went accounting
And the fascination of those things is that they
have clinging to them the of forgotten lives
the memory of long-gone kisses, the echo of voices
heard more, the imprint of life and love and sor-
row.
And so, instead of making in our own homes an
atmosphere such long for in the antiques we
buy eagerly but taste the faint flavor of their
deep lives that have vanished
Close human association is the thing that makes
us love our homes and the things in them. How can
acquire this loneliness, this charm of atmosphere
when always trying to stock up on the latest
styles in furniture?
1t is the people and not the furniture that make
the home. Instead Of buying many antiques, we
had better start making some. ourselves.

Have some more good news
Richard Barthelmess has a mighty
good romantic role in THE Amateur
of English life which is delightful.
It has a certain freshness which
commands your attention even
through a rather slow beginning.
1t is the story of an English lad,
the son of a former prize fighting
champion and later on an inn keep
err, who goes to London to be a
gentleman" Our hero finds it to be
tough job TO graduate into a
gentleman" 1t is even a tough
Job for some born that way to re-
main such.
There is intrigue, romance and lot
Of suspense-all these qualities are
needed to put over successfully such
a story. Barthelmess is more dash
ing than usual and he surely looks
the part of the hero of the story.
Here is a movie that, is filled with
that pleasant feeling that here Is
good entertainment.
The cast is an important one. Ft

this picture has several ones Of

And yet 1t seems to me that it is

love scenes have that desert heat

ing it dangerous for two cars to
pass.
