insult is the dominating figure In the People's
Gas Company and Commonwealth Edison Company

in Chicago.
Senator Mckinley is the biggest factor in the iii
nois public utility business outside Of Chicago
The tendency Of public utilities is to keep growing
bigger and bigger. Electric power is following this
economic law throughout the country. AS Mckinley
and his interests clashed with the insult interests
suited insult to put a crimp in Senator McKinlev's
political power
So Frank L. Smith, who dominates the Illinois
commerce commission which controls public utilities In
Illinois, was troted out to lick Mckinley and end his
political power

they were used to help the insult power combine

That money flowed freely on both sides of the con-
test. the Reed committee will bring out some of the
truth as to that, but there has been ample time since

Dempsey Coalition

If anything, 1t seems harder to
arrange a fight for Jack Dempsey
than to stabilize the franc.
Eventually, we may have to do
as France has and form a union
cabinet with Tex Richard, William
Muldoon and Floyd Fitzsimmons
holding the chief portfolios.
What Is the difference whether
Jack meets Tunney first and Wills
afterward, or Wills first and Tunney
afterward, or whether he gets foored
by the first one he meets and the
two have to settle It between them
selves afterward?'
There is a lot of money at stake,
to be sure, and you cannot blame
Jack for demanding the last red
cent that IS to be paid, but II ne
gets 100000 as one contract pro-
vides, 1t is about ten times what he.
or any other champion ought to get,
so why talk any further.
AS see 1t. the great American
sporting fraternity is being played
for crowd of suckers who will
bite anything If they are kept wait
ing long enough.
It would probably constitute no
national disaster If Jack Dempsey
never fought anyone.

TRUE TO FORM

That Mayor Duvall secretly ran away from
delegation of women, relatives and friends OF men
on strike and who wanted to appeal to him, is not
surprising
That he kept them waiting for two hours in MS
Office while he talked to his boss and to politicians
and then did not have the courtesy to even refuse
to see them may be remembered later when that
same boss asks people to vote for his puppets and
tools.
These women believing that the wage of the
street car men is too low were intent asking the
head of this city to take some definite action which
would send their husbands and brothers back to
work.
If they were mistaken as to the wage, the mayor
or some official might perhaps tell them what is
a fair wage and persuade them to apply for their
old jobs
That they are needed, at least some OF them are
needed on the street cars, is proven by the state
ment of the head of the company that the men
should be advised to apply for their old Jobs and
that those who have not participated in violence
would be given a chance.
These waited in the Office of the mayor,
who was very busy with politicians
They had hope They are feeling the effect of
this strike as the wives and families of strikers al
ways feel the effect of such struggle. They make
the real sacrifices.
If the mayor of the city is not proper person
to make listen to such appeal, then there is no
such person unless he frankly tells them that he only
holds title to the office and that the real power is
in some one else from whom he takes orders.
If the mayor can do nothing, the women were
entitled to the consideration of being told that he
could do nothing would do nothing
To refuse to see any delegation of citizens is not
nice advertisement for the city government or the
form of government
The question might be fairly asked as to whetheE
the mayor would have away from the officials
of the street company had they determined to
ask him for more policemen for aid in breaking
the strike and getting the men back to work.
These women had even greater interest in
getting their husbands and brothers back to work
than the company has in hiring them.
A government that fails to treat equal terms
all citizens hardly deserves place in any city in
America and certainly not in Indianapolis.
But when the influences which placed Duvall in
that place recalled, 1t is not surprising that he
away. That true to form. Perhaps these
women were foolish to expect any other treatment

WHY BREAD Is EXPENSIVE

The farmers, the millers, the consumers of
wheatall those who have to grow it, handle it, and
eat it to liveat the mercy of spectators gambling
in millions of bushels Of mythical grain the Chi
cago Board of Trade-that is the picture Secretary
Jardine draws of the operations of that grain
change, in report Just made public upon demand
of the Senate.
Jardine places the blame for the grain panic"
of 1925, when wheat prices went up and down like
the thermometer in thunderstorm, upon these spec
ulators, and recommends rulings by which any one
firm shall be strictly limited in the amount Of
trading it can do in any day.
Five individuals, who had no more to do with
the actual handling of the wheat that you or l.
bought" and sold" than 100000 bushels a
day each of grains the Chicago market, Jardine
said.
They used grain like poker chips in forcing them
selves in between those who had actually buy and
sell, to their own enrichment and to the detriment
of all the rest of u.s.

THE COURTS CREFP TIP

Freedom of speech and the right of trial by
jury again being threatened by the courts
AS those two precious heritages clash with the
judges, the judges win.
Insidous and highly dangerous doctrines are be-
ing inched into the law books.
First: That court can do no wrong.
Second: That truth is no defense
Third: That it is courts right to act as both
judge and jury in any case involving criticism of
that court
George Dale, editor of Munce newspaper
criticised court and grand jury
He cited for contempt and was sentenced to
jail.
He pleaded the truth of his allegations and Of
fered proof.
The ruling in his case now stands as follows in
the words of the court
ut is no excuse for one charged with criminal
contempt that the article in all respects was true
where the article tends to prejudice the court in a
case then pending and hold the in contempt be-
fore the people"
Edward Shumaker, head of the Anti-Saoon
League, charged the State Supreme Court with be.
ing wet and with splitting judicial hairs.
Contempt action resulted committee Of law

In each case the right to punish for contempt
is claimed to be inherent in the court which means
that when court is offended it shall pass both
fense-that there shall be no impartial jury trial
If the truth no defense" doctrine stands I'D It
means simply this:
That no matter how autocratic or corr11pt a
court may become, 1t must go uncriticised unless
some one desires Jail for the privilege Of criticism
This tendency Of courts to usurp power is a
natural and perfectly human one
For all human nature tends that way unless

OUR NEW CHAMPION

The triumph of Miss Elizabeth Dunn in the
State golf tournament for women is more than per-
sonal.
1t is victory for the democratic spirit and will
help to make golf, sponsored by cities as a COM
mon enterprise even more popular.
1t that the last claim that golf is the
sport of the exclusive and the wealthy has gone
The victory itself was dramatic This girl
who played upon the public links which cargo the
least fee of any cousse in the State met the best
golfer from the most exclusive and costly club In the
State.
Even more significant is the fact that the gallery
cheered her victory quite enthusiastically they
would have placed the crown upon her opponent
Golf is great game. This city has provided pub
lie courses on which thousands find health recrea-
ton and exercise 1t is a safe hazard that those who
play this game have better moral and mental out

cause it has pride in their work that it is Sending

Smelly

Sinking with sordidness and cor
ruption, the trial OF william V.
Dwyer and soven associates for con-
spiracy to violate the Volstead and
tariff acts. draws merrily to its
close in New York.
1t is probably the most important
liquor case ever to have been brought
before a Federal court.
The charge is that n rum syndi-
cate was formed with capital of
millions, and that. through highly
developed organization, it not only
succeeded in eluding dry officials.
but in corrupting them on such a
grand scale as II Is well-nigh I'M
believable.
1t has been testified that Coast
Guard boats were actually employed
to transport some of the liquor, that
representatives of the syndicate were
actually on the Government pay roll.
and that It had such influence at
Washington as to obtain the APP
pointment of dry agents who would
work with II.

Of this testimony came from
renegades whose treachery staggers
the imagination.
This Government is evidently com.
PEELED to rely on men OF an astonish-
ingly low order for some of its work
IN connection with prohibition.
This is brought not only by the
Dwyer trial, but by the fact that
ten coast guardsmen have just been
expelled In New Jersey, while more
have been suspended. for accepting
brides and helping the traffic they
were paid to suppress.
According to one confession, a crew
of eighteen calmly voted to go In
with the rum-runners, without, how
ever, separating themselves from
their Government pay checks.

Ma Ferguson, Child of
Opportunity, DareS Fate
at Polls Again,
BY Nj. r.. TRACY

Texas Democrats are voting today,
with Ma Ferguson up for renomina-
ton against a field of four, but with
her husband, James z. Ferguson,
former and impeached Governor, the
real issue.
You would go far to find more
interesting, or paradoxical situation.
James E. Ferguson is one of the
nine Governors ever to have been
impeached in this country and the
oply one ever to have beaten his way
back to public favor.
1t was the Ku Klux Klan that
made It possible for him to do so.
though without any such intent.
This organization, running true to
form, messed Texas politics UP in
such a way as to leave James E.
Ferguson standing alone as the
champion of tolerance.
At that particular moment. and
when the courts decided that i'm
parchment barred him from becom-
ing a candidate for Governor, his
wife took his place.
Texas Democrats nominated and
elected her two years ago rather
than accept Khan rule.
To sum it up, a woman was ele-
waited to the highest office that WON
an ever held in the United States
and an impeached Governor regained
his standing, mainly through the
antics Of FELLOWSHIP demagoggery.
Ma Ferguson's administration has
been characterized by strained econ.
omy on the one hand and by high
way scandals on the other. while the
Khan has gradually faded out Of the
picture.
Were It not for a divided opposi.
ton, her defeat would be certain,
but with former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lynch Davidson and Attorney
General Dan Moody drawing votes
from Zach other, her chances are
greatly improved.

field In a rather close race and that
