WATCH

Each day brings a little more evidence OF the
broadmindedness of Samuel insult, who owns ana
controls many public utilities in Indiana, and is said
to be reaching out for more. M
In the. Illinois primaries, a State in which he
also has many utility companies, he contributed 10
every one who ran for the Office of Senator.
He paid the expenses of the Democrat who had
no opposition and he paid a lot of money to the
hackers of both the Republican candidates.
No one suspects insult of having invented a new
game of political solitaire in which he throws his
money around for the sake of seeing a fight inc
contribution to the Democrat who had no opposition
indicates that he had no such purpose.
There is suspicion that he expects to have a
very good friend in the United States Senate no
matter which one of the men wins.
That same broadmindedness which made his
disregard of party lines in illinois is quite likely to
make him disregard State lines in the November
election.
He can be expected to take an interest in Sen
ators in every State where he has utilities.
Indiana is one of his big fields of adventure and
IT will be we'll to watch his agents and lawyers and
representatives this fall.
Whatever money he spends on elections is later
paid by people who buy gas or electricity or ride on
street cars.
Investments in Senator's by a utility magnate is
the same as an investment in a new power site or
more miles of track.
Money spent by theseN utility corporations in
politics means that these companies expect to use
the Government not for legitimate purposes, but for
special favors if they are ever in need.
The effect Of such" contributions on administra-
lions and on officers of the law is easily detected.
The corporations which pay literally in city
campaigns can generally command police forces and
other officials when they need them.
insult will take an interest, without doubt, in
our Hoosier senatorial fight.
1t will not be hard to guess what candidates he
will back here,
He will probably become more partisan in his
nature when he gets across the State line.
And the candidates he backs are pretty safe
men to vote against, anless you like the idea of
having your public officials under special obligation
to your utility barons.

THE OTHER SIDE

Cables have been clogged with the g~randilo.
quent speeches of Mussolini on the economic regen-
Grafton of Italy, and stories of the measures he is
employing to increase production.
Not so much has been heard, however, of what
the Italian people-the peasant in the field and the
laborer in the factory, think about it all. The peo-
pie have been gagged. They dare not oppose the
dictator. Their press has been silenced.
The Fascists paint a picture of a united and
militant Italy, with the masses ~joyfully rushing to
carry out the edicts Of Benito.
The correspondent of Labor, organ of the Rail
way Brotherhoods, finds a flaw in the picture, how.
ever. He writes from Rome:
"The big business men, who own the Fascist
party, are out for getting rich profits; so having de-
stroyed unions, outlawed strikes, and forced wages
to the lowest level, under 81 a day, they are getting
down to the brass tacks of frightening hours.
also in the report of the Rome Chamber of
Commerce, are buried the figures showing the ris-
ing, rising cost Of living: An index figure of ISL
this month as compared with 141 last year and 100
for 1920.
ALSO 1t is shown that bread is a cent a pound
%costlier, and sugar 20 cents a pound dearer, than
last year, since the taxes put on last autumn.
1T is a continual establishment to an American
how great a proportion Of taxation is laid directly
on necessities, especially foodstuffs. Salt, sugar.
coffee, bread-the dictatorship DEGREES another
penny on each, after each new announcement of in
creased military expenditures for the glory of the
new Italy
Last 'autumn's increases in grain and sugar
taxes alone mean an added burden of 500 lire on
each workers family of four persons.
"a noted economist, Professor Mortara, recently
dared to give the figures showing how the work
ers' housing conditions had deteriorated; their eat
ing Of cereals had diminished; their meat worsened
in quality ~(today's paper reports four persons poi
soned by bad horse meat and consumption of cloth
ing materials heavily fallen, as a result Of forced
low level wages"
A revival of ancient Roman greatness and the
spectacular leadership of their hero, may appeal
TO the fancy of patriotic Italians, but empty stom-
-achs are something else again, that might make seri-
Gus trouble for even the mighty Mussolini, and his
shordes of blackshirts. s

Why We Talk CT Weather

1t is commonly supposed that we
talk about the weather when there
is nothing else to talk about, but that
is hardly true.
The weather Is a very important
subject. 1t makes you notice It. no
matter how many other things may
interest you.
Take this storm in the Bahamas,
for instance. Millions are forced TO
give 1t ore than a passing thought.
The weather Is not a subject of
mere convenience. 1t has been COM
mon In u talk, because it is COM
mon to everyday needs, or our
everyday difficulties, to our every
day experiences.
+ There is scarcely a venture or a
profession that does not depend upon
the weather for it's success scarcely
an enterprise but that can be broken
by thu weather.

An Interesting Crime

There neve vas a crime that in.
terested the country more generally
than the Hall-Mills murder. which
occurred four years ago.
The prominence Of the parties, the
obvious elaboration with which they

acy of silence that protected the
perpetrator served to create one OF
those sensations which happen but
once in a lifetime.
AS is usual under such circum
stances. a mere trife leads to the

Creating Sympathp

If the Passaic police keep on. they
will create sympathy for the textile
strike, no matter how much Com
munism there is back of 1t.
Last Tuesday night they arrested
Albert Weisbord, the strike leader,
on a manifestly trumped-up charge.
He was coming home from a mass
meeting in his car when his chauf.
feur was stopped and accused of OBJ
structing traffic.
Weisbord protested and was taken
to the police station. where search
revealed him to be in possession of
a common jackknife.
He was booked for carrying con.
cealed weapons, and was bound over
the next day in the sum Of 5000.

They ran all over it with a big
tractor with deep cleats on it and

all up and ruined the surface.

WHY THE FEAR?
of it.

Just why, aside from the expense, there should
be any fear ont the part of Republican leaders" of
calling together the Legislature to amend the regis
tration laws is difficult to understand.
Through some boneheadedness on the part Of
the members of that body and the Governor, a law
which intended to relieve voters with permanent resi-
cences from the job of registering at each election
Is unconstitutional.
At least the political chairmen Of both parties
believe that tae law is no good and that if they
act under 1t, the door will be left open for contests
of all sorts and kinds after election.
The simple way, of course. would be to call the
Legislature into session for a couple of days and
amend the BILL If it is important. IxE
But the spokesman for the party in power say
that the leaders are afraid to have a special session
because the Governor can not stop these lawmakers
from enacting other laws if he gets them together
The party dominates the Legislature, as at pres
ent constituted, by a very large majority.
Most of the members are candidates for re-elec.
ton. They are again asking for votes.

curiosity as to what laws the Governor fears these
lawmakers might pass il they had the chance.

man believe, these partisans of theirs would do that
would injure the State or bring their party into dis
repute?
If they are not to be trusted to get together for

Perhaps the answer to such a fear is to vote for
a new member wherever there is a chance.

Which fruits are the best for
jelly making?
Apples are excellent, certain kinds
Of crabapples being especially good
for the purpose. Tart apples are the
best. Green or partly ripe fruit
makes the best kind of jelly. Grapes
that are partly ripe make jelly Of a
better texture than fully ripe grapes.
partly ripe fruits usually make more
Jelly per pound than fruits that are
entirely ripe. Sour gooseberries and
the more acide varieties Of plums,
sour ounces, red currants and hard.
firm berries make good jelly. Quin-
ces that are not sour make good
jelly If tart apple is cooked with
them. This is true of fruits such
as pears, peaches and the sweeter
fruits that contain little or no pee
tin, If apple is added while cooking.
