First, of Course

The State of Indiana takes first honor
among the corn raising States of the nation.
There is this to be said of Indiana.
It never does anything by half measures.
When it starts in to write novels, it pro-
duces the best sellers.
When it turns it's mind to the manufacture
Of farm implements, it serves the world
When it INDUCES in a political debauch,
there is no installing the depths Of its drunken
ness
When it yields to bigotry, there is no dis
guise of its intolerance.
When it starts in to clean house there are
no spots left on its honor when it finishes.
That is the pride of the State.
1t is accustomed to first honors and first
place.
Its corn is better, it's factories more efficient,
it's culture higher, it's passions deeper, it's con-
science either more alert or more stagnant.
1t is just the Indiana habit
First, as usual, - might be the State motto
in all truth and seriousness.

Our Next President and Foreign Policy

With respect to the coming presidential campaign
this newspaper announced in statement Of principles
published Thursday Oct 10, the promotion Of certain
vital national policies would claim our chief attention
Item one in list of five such policies enumerated
at that time, dwelt upon the present Importance to
the welfare Of people of the conduct of our foreign
affairs and the development of new and consistent in
stead Of haphazard foreign policies On this issue we
shall now attempt to make ourselves more specific
Up to the time of the World War the United States
had no well defined foreign policy to speak of aside
FROM the Monroe doctrine and certain ideas on what
we called the open door policy in China Nor did we
seem really to require We we're largely self
contained our population mostly due to immigration
was growing about as fast our production; we were
borrowing instead of a lending nation and our ex-
ports were almost entirely of raw materals-cotton
and the like.
Today our whole economic outlook is radically
altered The torrent of immigrants for us
has greatly subsidized, and at the same time, thanks
to the war, our production, especially in industry
stands vastly increased Our foreign trade now
amounts to nearly $1O,oOOOo0,OoO year as against
$4279000000 in 1913, increase of liz per cent as
against 20 per cent increase in population. This
means that unless we find and keep foreign markets
for increasing surplus production must be cur
tailed, business of all kinds will be crippled our pros

(ShelbyvilIe Republican,


The report states that the
Stephenson black boxes revealed
the fact that Ralph Updike, Re-
pl blican member of Congress
from the Seventh district (Marion
County,, had entered into an
agreement with Stephenson
whereby Stephenson was to con-
troll the political patronage of
the district. The report also says
that no Indictment can be re-
turned against Updike because of
the statut eof limitations. Imme-
diately this report is filed demand
is made for Updike to step down
and out, and no one in particular
would care if he did, not that he
is dishonest, not that he is COR
rupt, not that he is immoral, but
simply on the broad ground that
he has failed to show that he is
of proper congressional timber.
In this situation what the Re-
publicans of Marion County
should do is to put an end to all
their silly foolishness, get to-
gether for the general good of
indianapolis, and nominate and
elect a Republican to Congress
who will be a credit to Indian
apoliS and who will properly fit
into and function with a Repub-
lican administration.

The Evolution of Culture

Perhaps we should be patient and tolerant with
Chicago as young and growing community where
important evolutionary social changes are going on
After Mrs. OLearys thoughtless kicked the lamp
over and destroyed the early civilization town
arose from the ashes with merchants, grain and
stockyards princes on top of the stewing heap. AS
these important citizens acquired wealth there began
to develop an acute hunger for culture all the way
up from public library to big university and
grand opera.
About the time the big butter-and-egg .ham-and-
bacon, collar-andnecktie and S-and-eectric mag
mates got so they could keep awake whole evening
Of grand opera, and it appeared that new culture
had been fairly well established, important change
in the current OF wealth occurred, and as wealth
moves so moves conventional American culture.
With the adoption Of the Eighteen Amendment
and the passage Of the Volstead act, and inter-
esting manifestations OF new cultural class on its
upward move was the $4,000 and $4,000 funeral
for the well-murdered gangster and gunman, highly
seasoned with floral wreaths and Gates-Ajar. This
evidence of budding love for the beautiful,
which is manifestation of culture busting its way
out from htheto sordid social life. Then came
luxurant limousines uniformed chauffeurs and other
evidences of expanding wealth its way to become
hardened into the upper crust.
AS Americans always like to the Self-made
man boldly building himself onward and upward,
there was general interest in the social development
of the erstwhile gunmen gangsers racketeers alkies
and booteggers, and nobody took keener interest
than the politicians.
1t is only comparatively short step from floral
funerals and Rols-RoyceS to grand opera and cha
courts of Paris; but Chicagos new social leaders are
on their way, and should be given reasonable time in
which to shed some of the roughness of caveman
beginnings The time may be not far off when the
new prominent citzenry will begin to appear in the
societN columns, and then we may expect the new
Chicago culture fairly well set and running smoothly
Already one of the evidences of higher civiliza-
ton is showing up in the efforts of Mayor Thomp-
son to remove the remains of disappearing educa-
tional culture SO as to give more elbow room for
What seems fated to take its place. Censorship of
ry Doubt 10
moral censorship of all social relations and activities
based on the theory that even bootleggers gunner
and gangsters may get rich that they can afford
to be moral and good.
So let's be patient and tolerant with the young
vigorous enthusiastic and patriotic Chicago while it
is emerging from the egg, no matter how question
able and odoriferous the egg may happen to be-
After ALL you can't judge rotten egg by its SHE'LL
and some Of the sweetest perfumes have for their
base the smelliest substances ever found in drug
store.

AIieniStS, for Sale

The average man is much per-
picked, especially wnen three emf
nent alienlsts draw one conclusion
While three equally eminent aIien-
lists draw another.
The average man wants to be
scientific, but is not quite sold on
the authenticity OF psychoanaIysis.
He has a feeling THAI the experts
are not entirely Tree from aesire
to be indulgent toward the side
that pays them their $3.50 a day.
He can recall few cases, indeed,
where alienists employed by the
prosecution have failed to express
opinions which would help the
prosecution, or where those en-
ployed by the defense have not
been equally serviceable.

Advising the G. o. p.

II the Republican national committee were looking
for guide and counsellor it probably wouldn't turn
to Clifford Pincnot The former Governor of Penn
sylvania doesn't always talk the same language as
the national committeeman. They probably regard
him as a bit impractical
But without their having asked for it, Finchot has
offered them his counsel in matter of grave impor-
lance to the party He has suggested they use their
influence to see that the partys record on Messrs
Ware and Smith is right If these two men are seated
by the votes of Republican Senators, he says "the
American people will adjudge the Republican party
guilty of conniving at the purchase and theft Of an
election and of doing for it's political benefit
Pretty good advice, say We.

True Science Impartial

Putting that question aside, if
psycholanalysis is to be of any
assistance in the administration of
justice, it must be removed from
pressure and prejudice.
True science can have no inter-
est in the prosecution or defense
of particular case. Its concern
is with the truth.
If our criminals are to be
studied with a view of obtaining
the facts with regard to their
normal condition, and if that
study is to be of any value in
their treatment or classification,
it must be pursued from an i'm
partial standpoint.
So long as we have the spec
tacle of alienists entering a court
room after the trial has begun,
of their taking part like lawyers,
of their giving testimony favor
able to the side that pays them
and proving each other liars, it
will be impossible to make worth
while use Of their services, much
less to create public confidence in
their opinions.

What other Editors Think

to the United states is known to
every school boy. We need few
politicians to rave and rant in
their oratorical frenzies about the
sterling qualities" of the men
who engage in an industry which
is "the backbone of our nation"
Buncombe is just as easily recog-
nizable by farmers as it is by any
one.
The McNary- Haugen bill is an
artificial measure that has been
adjudged unecononic by men who
have agricultural interests most
at heart. Whether it is more pop
ular or less popular now than it
was two years ago makes little
d difference except insofar as there
is relative chances Of the bills de-
feat or passage. The important
thing is that the bill has been
analysed and found wanting.

perity will suffer and every man, woman and child
in the country will be hurt
Furthermore, with growing national income, now
estimated to be $4,000 100000 year. we are certain
to seek investments abroad. This we are already
doings at dizzy pace $3.50 100000 being loaned to
foreigners in 1924, according to the foreign policy
ISOLATION, $22O6O000OO in 1925, and 1891 100000 in
1926 which figures, it is believed will probably be
surpassed in 1927.
These are merely some of the high spots showing
our relation to foreign nations but they enough
to prove that in large measure prosperity de-
ponds on the prosperity of the rest of the world
We are bound up with and dependent on foreign
countries precisely as the merchant and the banker
are bound up with and dependent on the people of
their communities. they go to smash the roper
cussion is bound to hit us.
1t is therefore imperative that our next President
Democrat Republican shall have the courage to
take the lead in throwing off this pose of isolation
which Of late years have foolishly assumed and
which has resulted in frghtful misunderstand-
ing OF us abroad. We are not isolated and never
can be- We are becoming less and less so every day.
Whether we like it or not, with chains of trade and
letters of gold time is linking us arm to arm and
ankle to ankle with the rest of the crew of the good
ship earth and together we must sink or SWIM
The world is little thing, and shrinking
Thus it is important, stated on Oct. 49, that we
take some reasonable position as a member of the
community of nations whose good fortune in the main
is our good fortune and whose destruction could not
fail to be our woe.
This newspaper still believes the world must be
organized for international peace and security if these
blessings to be realized, call it league or
association Of nations what you will And if not
in it, then the United States must find way openly
and officially to cooperate with it. Otherwise as
the richest and most envied of all nations we will
find ourselves facing to cost in blood and gold
and standards of living the old sequence of COMPETE
tive ornaments military alliances the struggle for
the balance of power and the crash of Armageddon
as they go on reappearing

A State Wide Campaign

A real Statewide campaign for the city
manager plan Of government should begin with
demand for a special session of the Legisla-
ture to restore to the people Of the cities Of
the State the right to have it whenever the
cities vote for it.
The people of Indianapolis were robbed
of this right by the last Legislature.
At the time the Legislature met the old ma
chine was intact and running good.
There had been no indictments. The powers
had successfully kept the lid upon the "Black
Boxes" Secrecy had been made the party
policy Of the majority members when party
caucus refused to investigate things which
later took on the form of formal charges in the
Criminal Court.
The machine was able to dictate because
the party members who were honest were
cowed by the forces in control.
The city manager amendment came as re-
suit Of party demand that John Il. Duvall be
saved and that he be protected from the desire
of the citizens of the State capital to change to
a system of government which would eliminate
partisan politics from municipal affairs.
Things have changed now.
There have been disclosures and the
"Black Boxes" have disgorged their secrets.
The Governor who signed the measure is
under Indictment.
The mayor who was protected by this spe-
cial act has been convicted and forced from
Office
The head of the party which gave orders
with ruthless disregard for the peoples wishes
and welfare announces that he is to quit
politics.
The machine which oppressed the people
has been wrecked by the disclosure of it's own
iniquitous viewpoint on public Office
The machine believes that it owns public
Offices and that they are intended for the use
Of politicians.
That view is the direct opposite Of the
theory Of city manager government, which
places service, efficiency, honesty and merit as
the basis of confidence.
The first step must be to restore the rights
taken away from the people of this city.
Those members of the Legislature who
yielded their own judgment and conscience to
the orders Of machine politicians should be
given chance to repent and to show repent
ance by good works.
A Statewide demand for that special ses-
sion, needed also for other purposes than the
city manager law, should be made at once

Protects Criminals

Psychoanalysis is q wonderful
trade, no doubt, but thus far it has
given birth to more excuses than
cures.
Thus far its most spectacular
performance consists in explaining
why croolSs and cutthroats should
not be punished.
Thus far it has done a great
deal more for the protection of
criminals than for that of normal,
decent people.
Thus far its services have been
conspicuous for the prevention of
punishment rather than for the
prevention of crime.
You can think of a dozen cases
where the lives of murderers
have been spared through the
work of alienists. How many lives
Of innocent people can you think
of that have been saved the same
way?

Scandal Tide Set Free

character in oroer TO snow the
erect on his mind.
In the same way, Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw was permlJUed to tell the
story OF her betrayal by Stanford
White in order to snow its effect
on Harry'S mind.
Whatever else might be said of
it, psychoanalysis is leading to
the introduction OF a raft OF
scandalous evidence which would
be barred if the alienists did not
need it to form their opinions.

1t is no surprise that Senator
Arthur R. Robinson should make
a statement that the so-called
McNary- Haugen agricultural re-
lief bill has more supporters now
than two years ago. Robinson
more and more is revealing him
self as one who will say most
anything that will be pleasing to
organized minority groups. His
ambition seems to be not to per-
form his legislative duties wisely,
but to perform them in a manner
that will please certain factions,
regardless of the harm such
catering may do. The American
farmer is in need of sound help,
but he will not be helped by the
McNary- Haugen bill in the event
it becomes a law.

u, S. Leads in Murder

If psychoanalysis has accom-
plished all this, however, there is
quite lot left unexplained.
If murder is principally the by
product of poverty, passion and
disease, as the experts are SO fond
Of telling us, why should the
United States have fifteen or
twenty times as much in proper
ton to her population as Eng
land?
Pursuing the thought a little
further. why should she have
more than any civilized nation on
earth?
If crime is a derivative of gen.
eral conditions, what is the mat
ter with this country, and if that
is the theory on which psyche
analysis rests, why should not the
study be of the Nation as a whole
rather than of individuals?

Dudley Field Malone suggests
that Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd
Gray be spared Tor the sake OF
STUDY. He regards the electric

ali cases, as waste OF scientific
data. he believes that criminals
should DC saved tor what can be
learned through psychoanalySzing
them, If Tor NOT better reason.
The idea is interesting rather
than imp esSive. With 10000
murders ear and less than 200
executions, we ought to have
enough material avaliable without
bothering about the lew sentenced
to death.

Proof for ANYTHING

Psychoanalysis seems able to
elucidate many things, especially
for the defendant who can pay
the price.
1t can make the most reprehen-
sible crime look like an accident,
the result of uncomfortable cir
cumstances, or the by-product of
disease.
1t can demonstrate that per-
sonal responsibility plays no part
in life, that human beings are
incapable of self-control, that each
and every one of us are creatures
of circumstance and that society
is to blame for all the nastiness
and mischief on foot,

The Rules

1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, a given number of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at a time.
3. You must have a complete
word, of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbrevia-
lions don't count.
4. The order of letters cannot be
changed.
