THE REAL KILLERS

There is at last. some hope that the real killers
of Don Mellett will be disclosed
The people of this city should have more than
passing interest in the capture of those who took
the life of this former Indianapolis man. who died
nghtinS for decency in government.
AS editor of Ohio paper he had denounced
the control of government by the vicious and the
vena
lie had protested against the protection of crime
and vice and degradation by those who wanted votes
at election time
ana because he had aroused public conscience
ne was shot in the dark killed from ambush by the
creatures of the underworld of vice.
one man has been convicted of the killing But
ne was only the tool of others and 1t would be a.
confession of weakness society fails to get the real
killers of Don Mellett, the men who had ordered his
death because he had interfefed with their crime
and their hold upon government
The killing of this editor was the logical and per-
maps expected sequence to the exposures he had
MADE. And what he had exposed in the city of Can
ton exists in other places in less open form
The evils of which he complained are a part of
every boss government of any CITY,
For the bosses need the votes and the crooked
ballots of those VIII oget protection of the police
The political boss needs the bootlegger and the
alcohol runner and the dive keeper and the way he
gets them is to protect them in courts and from the
police.
1t is the boss, after all, who kills such men as
Mellett when they become dangerous to his rule
Furnishing the deluded and vicious and sodden
tool is no more important than the finding of the
volver with which the deed was done.
The city which gave the world an editor with
the courage of Don Meett should not be satisfied
until the men who profted from vice and the con-
troll of government which means much more than
merely letting the bootleggers get away, are pun
ished for his murder.

WHAT PRICE GLORY-1927???

Ex-service men all over the country are applying
banks for loans their United States bonus

THAT HALE MILLION

N More than two weeks ago the attorney general
= this State openly charged that the small home
5vners, of this CITY were being robbed Of half MIL
5on dollars year.
He charged that this amount was' being given
the form of rebates by the two electrical COM
3nies to favored customers.
He charged that this half million dollars was
hing taken In violation Of the law
He made his charge specific, definite and I'M
&uivocal
The public service commission is charged by the

Erdens added to some citizens for the sake of re-
owing others.
The law itself makes the giving Of rebates
5 me punishable with Imprisonment. 1t makes the
Sceiving of rebates crime, punishable with fine
The commission can hardly excuse itself on the
bound that it does not know where to find the re-
tiers for Mr. Gilliom charged that the light COM

BACK IN FORM

The friends of Senator Watson will be pleased
to note that he is once more back in his old form
and has, apparently, forgotten that burst of protest
against the use of money In elections.
There was undoubted dismay at home when
Watson protested against the seating of Smith as
Senator from Illinois for no other reason than that
Smith had been financed in his campaign by utility
magnates.
1t was disheartening to followers of the machine
that Watson should find anything reprehensible in
public service commissioner getting money from
those he had or might favor
That struck deep at the heart of the machine
ethics and was absolutely heresy to the doctrines
and practices by which Watson has continued in
power in this State.
But Watson has, it seems, recanted his here
sizes and is back to the Old Guard mode and manner
of thinking.
Those who believed that his small majority which
he received from the steel trust bailiwick of
Indiana had chastened his spirit may again take
hope.
For Watson is on the firing line again lust
as he was in the Newberry days in behalf of the
Pennsylvania manager for another Senator who be-
ieved that the way to get votes to have the cash
1t is Watson WHO. leads the defense of the use
OF money in politics. He is back again on the res
Those friends who had thought that Watson
would go back on the customs and principles of a
lifetime did him wrong. He stands where he always
stood on this simple question of practical politics

Tough Medicine

A cotton conference assemblies at
Memphis today. 1t is sponsored by
the Knights of Cotton, but they will
make no attempt to commit 1t to
their views. according to J. f. Perry.
The Knights of Cotton advocate
that farmers plough under this years
surplus cotton and reduce their
acreage by 80 per cent next year.
That is tough medicine. 1t repre-
sents a loss which the farmers ought
not be asked to take.
There is something wrong with a
system which teaches farmers how
to raise more cotton and encourages
them to do so, and then tells them
that they must destroy the fruits of
their labor and learn to maintain a
decent price
There is no reason why 10 or Is
rer cent increase of production
should make 40 or so per cent de-
crease in value.
Cotton is a practically imperishable
commodity. Some way ought to be
devised for carrying the surplus of
good years. over to lean ones.
1t is a matter for the banker to
think about as we'll as the farmer,
because it affects the economic well
fare of the entire nation.

Sparta ReSurreCted

AS Fascismo proceeds. you can
see its gaunt and rugged outline
take shape. 1t is Sparta come back
in modern guise, ancient Rome re-
turned to rule in the twentieth
century.
Mussolini, whether for good or i'll.
is moving toward his idea of what
government should be with pitiless
intelligence.
prise have small part in his scheme
of things, except as they serve to
glorify the State.
Italy will have but one outstand-
ing institution, if he has his way
and that will be the government.
1t has already been decreed that
there shall be no idleness on the
part of labor and it is about to be
| decreed that there shall he no idle
ness on the part of capital. No loaf
ing. no padded newspapers, &c
strikes. no squandering Of wealth in
luxury-it is the vision Of a genius
but like most such visions, it leaves
out human nature.
The Emperor Probus. seeing his
army with nothing else to do. and
not wishing it to remain idle, set il
r to draining a swamp.
THE army worked well for a little
while, but then turned and murdered
Probus.
All work and no play not only
makes Jack a dull boy, but a
revolutionist.
