The Irony of Politics

Austin Peay will probably be remembered by his
tory the Governor who signed the strange bill for
bidding the teaching Of evolution inf the schools of
Tennessee which led to the famous if somewhat rc-
ulous Scopes trial at Dayton That the fate which
the irony of politics has in store for the man who to-
day is being mourned by Tennesseeans as progress
sve statesman whose greatest achievement was the
advancement Of education in State which had been
backward
The well informed believe that Peay was too in
telligent to sympathize with te revolution
BILL They even tell story of his making contemptu-
Gus remarks about letters he received from the
ignorant and the narrow, urging him to sign the BILL
But when the time came he signed it. He not only
signed it but actively championed it and spent the
States money to hire expensive counsel to defend the
law in the courts.
It was a case 70 expediency. He was wooing the
fundamentalst voters of his State. Peay even went
to the absurd length of giving out statement that

God on the people Of that State because Of their sins

What Other Editors Think

themselves whether Attorney General Gilliom did
not attempt to discredt the Investigations conducted
by Thomas H. Adams and Prosecutor Remy, and
whether as the days of the first grand jury were
coming to close, he did not attempt to discredit
its labors and the purposes Of the crusaders by
making speech in Mr. Adams home town on Satur-
day before the election last November in which he
was moved to use the words character assassns as
applied to Messrs. Adams and Remy.
We only ask whether this was not the attitude OF
Attorney General Gilliom, and whether he was not
one of those engaged in an attempt to whitewash
the entire outfit until two months ago when he sud-
denly lowered forth in the role of hambouyant
crusader against organizations he peases at this late
date to call "the forces of super government"
His exchange with Chairman Peters has only sue
ceeded in revealing him for what he is-a swash-
bucker whose speeches are like the ever changing
skin of the chameleon.

I received a large envelope from
New York with the name OF the
Office of Jones and Green"
knowing that William A. Fields
has his business address with Jones
and Green" following the close OF
the Stuart Walker season at
Keith's in indianapolis I opened the
letter.
It was one of the hundreds sent
out by Fields announcing tnat
Blanche Yurka in 1.-THE Squalp' was
going to sail out on some Main
Streets.
The hint is that this well-man-
aged success will land in Indian
apolis, and I feel that Fields would
not have sent me a duplicate OF
the several hundred copies of this
general letter unless there was hope
that Yurka in "The Squat" might
come here.
So under this very personal let
ter from Fields, stating the resi-
dence of the hit show and the name
of the press representative, I print
his personal letter as follows:
On Oct. Is 1.-The Squall," the
fiery, tempestuous drama OF Spain,
by Jean Bart, will reach it's 4O0th
performance at the Forty-Eighth
Street Theater in New York. THE
Souall" got off to a slow start, but
has developed into one of Broad
WAYS most substantial successes.
"A. L. Jones and Morris Green, the
proprietors of 1.-THE Squall,", have
decided to keep the play in New
York through the current season,
and their new production, People
Don't Do Such Things" which was
being made ready for the Forty
Eighth Street Theater, will be shit
ed to another house.
The original company OF The
Squall," which includes Blanche
Yurka and Lee Baker, will be sent
on a tour of the principal cities OF
the country within the next few
weeks. An extensive tour is now
being laid out for the piece.
Jones and Green have in the past
been identified with Greenwich Vii
Age Follies productions and it is
likely that a new "Follies" will be
presented on Broadway in Deem
Der. The road, however, will miss
this attraction this season. Rain or
Shine" a musical comedy with cir
Gus background, will be another of
this firms undertakings this winter.
Joe Cook and the elongated Tom
Howard will be the principal buff
foons in this show.
The cast of 1.-The Squall," 1t is in
teresting to note, has decided in
ternational aspect. Blanche Yurka,
the Dolores Mendez of the play, was
born in Bohemia. Barbara Bulga-
kov, the vixenisEl Nubi, is indigenous
to Russia, and Ali Yousuff halls from

Lac and Justice

On the advice of the cashier of bank man
bought $4,000 worth of stock in a manufacturing
company. The bank had no interest in the manu-
featuring company either as an owner a selling
agent of its securities but it had made large loans
to the company. Shortly after the man bought the
stock, the manufacturing company failed and he lost
the money he had invested.
He sued the bank to recover what he had lost
on the ground that he bought the stock on the
cashiers advice and that the cashier had deceived
him that the manufacturing company might obtain
more funds to pay off its loans from the bank. The
bank commended that it not liable for losses on
investments in which it had no direct interest and
about which the cashier had bank authority to
give advice.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision The Supreme Court of Wis
conSin decided that the bank not liable for the
mans loss on the stock. The court said that I'M
authorized statements by the officers of bank iii
response to inquiries to investments in which the
bank has no interest selling agent do not
bind the bank.

Nature Kinder Than Law

After fifteen years of fruitless
struggle to shield and protect her
idiot boy, Mrs. Iwanska mixed a
dose of poison of which she gave
him a part ard drank the rest
herself.
He died Immediately, but she
did not, wherefore the authorities
charged her with homicide as she
lay on a hospital bed.
She would have been tried, and,
perhaps, convicted had she recov-
cred, but nature was kinder than
the law.
You cannot condone such an
act as she committed, though you
can see the reason for it. 1t is
just one of those tragedies which
seems beyond the reach of human
justice.
The demands Of mother love
simply proved more than she
could bear, especially that sense
of humor on the part of her
neighbors, which could see moth
ing but a huge joke in her tireless
devotion to a clumsy, overgrown
child who could not talk plain,
could not take care of himself
and could never amount to any,
thing.

There those who say that Governor Peay's
wooing of fundamentalism was not even necessary.
They say he could have killed the evolution bill
promptly by fearless and frank appeal to the COM
nonsense of his State. They write down the
luton bill and Peays capitalizg it the Governors
one ggreat moral failure.
But none would deny to Austin Peay credit for
bringing about vast progress in Tennessee. He gave
the State splendid system of highways. He taxed
the wealthy cities to give the children of poor farm
universal eight-months school term. He put
appropriations for the State university on per-
manent basis and provided for its expansion. He
officially launched the movement for Smoky Noun
tain national park great Of nature where the
scientists of the world may study natures processes in
region of the most varied flora on the continent
The backwoods of Tennessee are disappearing
Children ride Peay's roads to Peay's schools
where they taught by teachers from university
which Peay made prosperous-and where evolution
is still taught. For the evolution law which Peay
bazoned to the world is dead letter. but the progress
which his craftsmanship devised is an evergrowing
fact

Disgrace to Profession

1t is high time that somebody
called attention to the abominable
custom, and no one is in a better
position to do so than the general
counsel of the American College
of Surgeons.
The practice of shunting pa
tents from one specialist to an
other, of suggesting that they
need operations or costly courses
of treatment when it is doubtful,
of dividing responsibility until no
one can be held accountable for
fatal results, of splitting extor-
Tomato fees that can only be col
lected because people are too sick
or too distracted to realize how
they are being bunked, is the
worst disgrace that attaches to
the medical profession.

Dangerous Fashion

There is hardly a nation in this
world but what has a monopoly
over some essential product and
that could not levy an exorbitant
tax on other peoples through its
control.
For each particular group of
producers, it may seem glorious
idea, and it certainly has attrac-
tons for political leaders who like
to mobilize their support in
blocks.
But it is a game that every
group of producers can play, and
that would result in nothing but
lessened production all along the
line if it became the fashion.

Revolt in Mexico

With three generals in the field
as presidential candidates, it is
not surprising that Mexico's po-
litical campaign should have
taken a military turn.
The revolt in favor of Gomez
and Serrano is still too new for an
accurate apprisal.
Gomez and Serrano, who are
not only opposing former Presi-
dent Obregon, but who are anti
Gales, seem to have over-esti-
mated the number and enthus-
iasm of their adherents.
1t is rumored. that one of them
already has been captured and
shot. Whether this is true or not,
the chances are that both will be
driven from the country and that
the mutiny in their behalf will ac-
cornplish nothing more distinctly
than cljpch Obregon's election.

M. E..
SAYS:

A new law places the Cuban
sugar crop under Government
control. Curtailment Of produc-
ton is provided for by a system
of tariffs and penalties.
The President is empowered to
withdraw 10000 tons of sugar
from the market this fall.
Cuba is undertaking to regulate
the sugar market, just as Great
Britain undertook to regulate the
rubber market.
The idea back of both schemes
is to override the law of supply
and demand by creating a scar
city.
This is a revolutionary idea In
the field of economics and one
which would be impossible with
out Government interference.

Graft on Grand Scale

If the theory that the less they
have to sell the more they can
get for it becomes popular among
nations, and if they arbitrarily
curtail production in order to in
crease prices, we shall have COM
mercial graft and thievery on a
grander scale than was ever pos
sible under the tariff.
Hitherto, governments have
gone little farther than to stop
goods from coming in, but this
new idea strikes at the source. 1t
knocks the tradition that the law
of supply and demand cannot be
repealed into a cooked hat be-
cause that is the very thing 1t
does.

Fee7SpIitting Doctors

Judge Harold Stephens, general
counsel of the American College
of Surgeons, denounces the prac-
tice of splitting fees with special
lists by ordinary doctors.
1.-THE dangers of this system
are palpable. The doctor in need
of money is tempted to adopt this
method of handling cases of a
borderline character which may
not need operation or specialists
treatment. He does it for gain.
Many a patient has gone under
the knife unnecessarily because
of this practice. Their lives are
wantonly jeopardized. Death rate
statistics tell a pitiful tale"

Recent elections in Indiana cities seem to have
chosen men for mayor who not fitting in with
the general order of business in their cities and con-
siderable local dsGu rbance is the result Indianapolis,
Muncie Evansville and other of the larger cities are
experiencing this trouble. Why any man who has
been chosen to head city government where he
must have resided for years before his selection a
property owner and will probably expect to live in the
same city following his term of office should dissi-
pate and disgrace the office the people have entrusted
his care, is difficult to imagine yet we have them
in this and other States.

Sketches

One little calicoed orphan, fasten-
ing the dress of a small orphan at
the Indianapolis Orphans Home,
sighed very deeply.
1t wasn't a sad sight. 1t was
a glad sigh, one Of that special
brand that sees visions and dreams
dreams.
For every time she helped the
governesses in the nursery, every
button she fastened on the little
ones frocks, was going to count for
something, and count big Every
stitch she worked into her en-
broidery would be accomplishing
twice as much. Every dish she
wiped when her kitchen duty came
around was actually GOING to beoa
sacred trust. And when she made
her bed in the mornings, tucking
the bedclothes at the end into such
carefully tailored corners there was
going to be an even greater reward
than the bow of ribbon tied on the
best-made bed
For there was going to be Camp
Fire Girls group at the orphans
home. All those little daily duties
we're going to count on her home
craft honors. All the embroidery
she made, the baskets she wove, the
other fascinating things she could
do with her deft little hands would
be counted in on her Eandcraft
honors.
And that sight that saw visions
was stretching ahead to the de-
lights of hiking, cooking out of doors.
building fires that would count on
her Cappcraft honors. She was to
be a real Camp Fire Girl.
That was yesterdays sigh.
Today that little girl and nine
teen others between 10 and ID have
been organized into a Camp Fire
Girls group. The Great Event took
place last night at the orphans
home.
To- provide a home, a place OF
shelter and training. and to give
real reward for that training as
we'll as to provide other character
building activities for these little
folks, two organizations have joined

To the Editor:
Well, by golly, as Lew always said,
and in my opinion he was nearly
always right, there comes a time in
all our lives when we feel that we
must have our say or bust" and
if I am not badly mistaken. many
of our citizens wish to avoid the
calamity, so suggest that when an
inspiration of this nature comes, as
it has to me, we pitch right in and
give our self-chosen weak-minded
mayor the hell as he so richly de-
serves.
Too many citizens figure that be-
cause they are not prominent in
business or politics, they must adopt
a hands off policy. and sit back with
an air of watchful waiting, and a
boiling desire to bust up something,
forgetting, fearing, or neglecting TO
use the equal rights they have with
any one who goes to the polls, and
that it is their duty to demonstrate
when a bird" of this kind tries to
play the fiddle while we all dance
to any tune our Nero chooses.
1t is a good thing for Mayor
Duvall that he happened to pull this
stunt here. I ask you what would
happen in good old red blooded
part of the country where principle
is most prevalent? I'll answer for
you. Some handy guy with a
muscle that needed exercise would
gently, but firmly lift John out of the
chair he refused to relinquish, and
create an overwhelming desire with
in him to go once again out to Old
Aunt Mary's or some equally
pleasant place.
Why can't that be done here in
our no mean city, I ask you?
THAT'S ME.

(Kok6mo Dispatch)

(Kokomo DiSpatch)
Attorney General Gilliom has not improved ms
position before the people of Indiana by his ILL
advised exchanges with r. Earl Peters, State Demo-
cratic chairman.
GiLliom Peters stoutly DEFENDED ms parry
= c,,osb against the attacks OF the attorney
SWdSb- general who accused Democrats OF
bo,ck1or cowardice and dared them to attack
the Ku-Klux Khan and the Anti-Sa-
loon League as he has done in many speeches over
the State of Indiana.
Chairman Peters quite properly reminds the gal
liant attorney general that at the time he was
candidate for his Office in 1924 he was uttering not
one single word against either the Ku-Klux Klan
or the Anti-Saloon League, organizations which ne
considers such serious menaceS today, although Dr.
Carleton B. McCulloch, the Democratic candidate
for governor in that campaign, did oppose the Ku-
Klllx Khan and undoubtedly owes his defeat to that
plank in his platform The Democratic State chair
man further reminds the attorney general that 1t
was solid Democratic minority in the State Legis-
laure last January that voted for an investigation
of unsavory political conditions in Indiana and Ma
rion county and that it solid Republican ma
jority that defeated the investigation
Quite as much to the point is Chairman Peters
reminded tina tit was after a breakdown OF justice,
as indicated by Marion county grand jury investiga-
tons with which Attorney General Giliom was con-
nected, that the for legislative investigation
started and that grand jury investigations did not
succeed until Gilom had ceased his connections
with them.
We are quite willing to leave 1t to the people
