Indiana and Politics

Indiana politics have never been of the purest
type, but it would from the recent indictment
Of Governor Ed Jackson and other prominent citi-
zens that conditions even worse than they were
believed to be.
Governor jackson is charged with having offered
former Governor Warren McCray bride of $4,000
in return for certain political favors d. c. Steph-
enson khan leader now serving prison sentence
for murder, made the charges which have resulted
in the indictment Of the chief executive.
It may be claimed that it is merely malice, rather
than actual facts, which prompted Stephenson to
make his statements to grand jury. The ndict-
mcnt would seem to nullify this.
The fact remains that, regardless of the outcome
of Jackson's trial, it will have wholesome effect
on Indiana politics. There have been demands for
thorough airing of the affairs of that state for
some time, but at last they appear to be taking
concrete form. The result should bring Indiana a
government at least partially cleansed Of graft AM
corruption.

Mexican Press Freedom

The liberty of the press, it is reported, will be
the chief issue in the coming Mexican election.
General Arnulfo Gomez, of the leading candi-
dates to succeed President Gales, has just issued
statement denying that if he were elected he would
suppress all hostile newspapers.
Other candidates also expressing themselves
strongly about liberty Of the press, and to believe
them. the Mexican newspaper men will soon be IN
as stable position as are their American brethren.
But it has been the habit of Mexican presidents
to promise much and do little. President Gales. it
is true, is man of action and has not laid his
hand very firmly the newspapers, but there were
those before him who had hesitancy about sup
pressing any publication which did not favor them.
Freedom of the press has been nothing more than
an idle phrase in Mexico most of the time
In this connection, the rabid among who
persist tin crying out that they have no freedom
might take slant at Mexico or any of the South
American countries. This may not be the greatest
and most glorious country in the world, but from
the newspaper mans standpoint, it is para
disc than any other.

Editorial Comment
Where Our Summer Went
Est. Paul Dispatch)


While official and unofficial weather prophets
deny and affirm that the past summer normal,
the popular faith is that it cold and is inclined
to take sides with the unofficial predicter who as
that the official observers are suppressing the
facts to low temperatures reached and thus lift
ing the average, to have it appear normal and dis
credit their critics.
Convinced as may be as to the chilliness of
the late season, our opinion may be confirmed by
the experience of the Honorable Mrs. Victor Bruce
of London They set out to make trip to the
Arctic circle by automobile, travelling 5000 miles
through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Lap
land and Finland until they were well up into the
Arctic circle.
They took plenty of warm clothing and coats,
prepared for freezing weather. Instead this is what
they found. Mrs. Bruce says: "All the time We
in the Arctic zone the temperature never
lower than 90 degrees in the shade" That contin-
ued when they reached the most northeriy point,
within 40 miles Of the Arctic ocean. Mosquitoes
torture only second to the Polar heat.
Our summer went north for change of climate.
Perhaps the earth tipped little-or changed its
axis slightly-as it has done before. Such sultri-
ness would make the Polar bears unbearable in
disposition and ruin Santa Claus toy industry. It
may be the earth will tip back into line by next
year, but what really is needed is the enactment Of
ant-tippng law.

Stop the Air Tragedies
Duluth lIcrald)

The world has watched the spectacular ocean
mration, then with doubt and pain tragedy after
tragedy marred the thrilling and heroic story OF
the conquest of the air, and finally with growing
irritation at the utterly needless sacrifice Of vau
able human life that is going on.
These stunt flights across the ocean have demon
stratcd that it CAN be donc-at least the eastward
flight over the Atlantic and the westward fight to
Honolulu can be done.
But they have also demonstrated the fact that
in neither direction can it be done without great
success Of any particular flight that it will be bet
ter il the flyers stop-or stopped-until the air.
planes can be developed to point where they will
be more surely fitted for long flights.
Two other facts have been proved. too, by recent
tragic history.
One is that regular air routes across the ocean,
which the sanguine believed were at hand when
Lindbergh made his fight, still long way in
the future.
Another is that those who, like Mr. Brisbane
have been worrying lest any day fleet Of hostil,
arships will show up to blow New York off the
map, have been nursing foolish terrors.
| The fights that are now going on, ostensibly to
advance the of aviation, not advancing it
at all. They are, rather, impeding it. Aviation has
gone far, but the ambitions Of avators have gone
still farther. These ambitions ought to be held in
check until the airplanes catch up with them.

Politics in South Dakota

South Dakota politics arc becoming more intri-
cate than ever;
It wasn't long ago that Senator Peter Nor
beck ahad things pretty we'll under control. Every
thing was running smoothly. There was no talk
about who would be South Dakota's Republican
presidential choice in the state primary
But now things tangled again. Former Gov
ernor Carl Gunderson, projected rather abruptly
from the political limclight, has come back again
with the beating of drums and cymbals. He adj
dressed open letter to Senator Norbeck the other
day. In it he suggested that the two Of ther1
get together with the view of carrying the state
jointly for former Governor Frank o. Lowden OF
Illinois. To this Senator Norbeck has answered
nothing but it can be surmised that the political
pot has begun to boil full blast again.
North Dakota is often pointed out solitary
example of state where politics eclipse every
thing else in interest. It would seem that our
southern twin is not free from this, either. And
the presidential primaries in South Dakota arc like
" to cause politicians heartburn and sorrow
than those in North Dakota.

mr. RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Sept. 13.-There seems
to be some confusion Is to just what
was done 70 repair the White House
at public expense Of $375,00O.
The fact Is that not only has the
White House been given = handsome
new roof, but It also has acquired .
new floor. In other words, instead
Of being : two.stoty building - in
the past, it is now three-story build
ing.
Furthermore, the new roof il so
designed 40 to leave . large area on
which the president can promenade
or entertain.
These are the principal changes
in the White House and it becomes
obvious that the facilities and occu.
piable portions Of the presidential
mansion have been greatly expanded.
Whether or not this expansion was
as important an aim OF the repair
work" as any is q question, but the
roof structure and its supporting
wooden trusses more than 100 years
old have been understood to be in
poor condition for the last so years.
The new third floor Of the White
Hous contains q number Of comfort
able bedrooms and bathrooms which
will now be available for IN over
flow Of guests. It also provides
rooms for servants, linen rooms and
storage rooms.
All this, Of course. and everything
including the ceiling Of the second
floor and upv ards is brand new.
That's where most Of the $4,000
went.
The second floor provides the liv-
ing quarters for Mr.. and Mrs. Cool
idge. Even while Mr.. and Mrs. Cool
idge are away, and all THERE posses
sions and furniture are removed, Wis
itors are not permitted above the
first or main floors.
Indeed, only the most privileged
have been permitted within 100 yards
of the White House this summer. It
was suggested to the Coolidges ct
Rapid City that this might be good
time to allow some people who we're
anxious about it to inspect the Sec

He Had a Good Time
minneapolis Journal)

President Coolidge is on his way back to Wash
ington, after his summer in the Black Hills. Despite
what the self inspired smart alexis may have to say
in the eastern periodical press about the presidents
being heartily bored with what they consider the
meagre recreational resources Of South Dakota, all
the available evidence supports the conclusion that
the president had a good time, enjoyed his visit
thoroughly, and would like to come back to thu
northwest time.
For President Coolidge stayed in South Dakota
till the last minute And he did not have to stay
unless he really wanted to do So After he an
nounced that he did not choose to run again. there
were no political exgencies that required his pres
ence out where the west begins He could have
found dozens of plausible for cutting shore
his visit and hurryng back to the capital.
It should also be noted that the president con-
tinued his fishing, continued to shelter his brow
der the ten-gallon hat continued to be a cordial
neighbor in a breezily western community, for
weeks after he let it be known that he was out of
the running for the next Republican presidential
nomination.
Which dsposes rather effectually of the sneer

interlude in busy mans life was transparent bit

cpal role. but carried through in grim effort t.

| The truth is-as any really observant individual
must have seen right along-that Calvin Coolidge
has probably enjoyed this present summer as no
other vacation in many years. New scenes, new at
mosphere new activities-thesc are the things that
make vacation q success
| And Calvin Coolidge had them all in the Black
Hills. He fshed not for votes as his critics
charged but for trout; and because he had learned
year earlier possibly to his surprise, that grown

can have. He wore the ten-gallon hat because hi

Just this: production has been increased; the la
