WRESTLING IN GRAVEYARD

Senator Watson shouts to his colleagues in the
Senate that he was renomnated by his party in spite
the fact that he voted for Newberry and gave his
approval to the corruption exposed in the effort to
steal toga in Michigan.
Just like boy whstling in a graveyard
For Watson knows that disaster and bad luck
have followed all the who voted he voted
Some of them were taken by personal misfortune
before the people had chance
Others, in States where the people depend more
upon the primary than they do upon the November
elections, have been refused nominations
The boast of Watson, a boast which will be re-
scented by the voters Of his own party, is that the
organization which he heads was able control the
primary of his party and that stood for Newberry
ism, just as it stood for other things
1t is rather insulting to the rank and file of the
Republican party of this State to suggest that it
approves of the methods of Newberry, of the cor
ruption of elections, of the purchase of Senate
seats.
1t is not true and can be true that the
men and women who are Republicans from princi-
pie and not for gain would approve such methods Of
political control.
1t is not true that the people of Indiana indorsed
Newberryism or even that the Republican party In
dorsed it.
Had he believed it to be the sentiment of the
State and of his party he would not have run
to cloakroom rather than to vote for probe of
the indecent use of money in recent State primaries
Watson, if he believed his party and the people
of Indiana committed to the purchase Of sena-
torial seats, would have been there fighting and
shouting and voting, not running and lodging.
1t is true that Watson with Newberry record
got past the primaries.
But there is yet November. The people have
not yet spoken 1t is rather early to insult Indiana
by saying that it. gives full and hearty approval
corrupt practices in elections.

CITY LIFE VS.. COUNTRY
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson.

City people often feel sorry for the small town
1t has become something of pose to speak of
the from the country illiterate, a
moron, a miserable prisoner. The urbanite fire.
quenty considers himself all wise and all fortu-
nate
But the fact remains that the who has always
lived in the city is only half educated He who knows
nothing of the physical world of the country and has
experienced the healthy JOY of the outdoor world
it exists far from the noise of cities, has missed
something that other existence can give him.
The perfect life should always be begun in the
country. There the child may get his first lasting i'm
pressons and store his mind with simple natural
loneliness.
The small town is step up in the school of ex-
perience and the person who has lived in one
should not call himself we'll versed in knowledge of
human nature. He has tasted the finest con-
facts with his fellow There is closeness and
solidarity about the small town which city resident
seldom There, while you may hate your enemy
cordially, your friends and more pre-
cious
The pioneers who settled this land by the dozens
of families knew this feeling of neighborness better
than the present generation In the country may
live obscurely, it is true, but than
buried in the of cityS population where
mans tragedy JOY touches you very deeply In
remote figures etched upon a In the small
town they living entities whose actions your
life very deeply.
1t is very fine, after you have finished your coun
try course to mariculate in the CITY, for you with
you the membranes of the fobles vanities
magnicencies and the nobility of the people whom you
have learned to know in country life.
In the city you learn to love things; in the coun
try you have leisure to love people.

PAGE DE WOLF HOPPER

How would you like to swap what France
the United States for two million acres of land and
a few white elephants in Cambodia.
1t was reliably reported from Paris last night
that Deputy Outrey, representing Frenchs Indo
China, has proposed at secret session of the com
mtee on colonies that France cede to America such
a tract of land out there to grow rubber
In return M outrey said, the United States
should cancel a large part of the French debt.
Bon Dieu! 1t faut rire! France the United
States principal and interest the time the debt
is to run, more than $6,OOO,OOO,00O. Two million
acres at that figure would be $4,000 acre. M. Gu
trey must have been in Florida recently.
And where is this $4,000 land located?
In Indo China 1000 miles to the west across the
South China Sea from the Philippines, where
already have trouble.
There are only some 100000 people in all Cam
bodia-not enough to work the two-million rub
Der patch if every one Of them came to work for
There are 100000 in the Philippines and they
say the greatest obstacle to growing rubber there is
lack of labor
There was talk few years back of France turn
ing over her West Indian islands to Uncle Sam in
exchange for a receipt marked paid in full"
But the talk never got anywhere 1t was never even
considered. If islands right at front door aren't
wanted-and heaven knows don't want them
what chance has Cambodia?
De Wolf Hopper might take the acreage on,
however out of pure sentiment. The Of one Of
his most celebrated comic operas laid in this
land where every is entitled to three wives
and galooa and he made coolies of money out of it.
Mr. Hopper might not consider $4,000 an acre
exhaustive 1t would, however, be too much for the
United States to pay for the whole Of Cambodia.
