Evans Woollen, Candidate

The frank and open announcement Of the
Democrats of this State that they will urge the
nomination of Evans Wooen of this city, the
candidate for President in 1925 by its very openness
commends itself.
No one will question his capacity or his charac-
ter. No one in Indiana would doubt his ability to
fill the highest Office in the Nation.
The announcement of his candidacy should
have the direct result of bringing to public aten-
ton the issues which are in the minds of and
women not only in Indiana but in every State
and which will be emphasized by the character of
this candidate.
Above all else, Mr.. Woollen stands for con-
stitutona representative of the will of
the majority. That should be challenge to the
reign Of corruption which has attended the cleo
tions in other States where the machine Of the party
in power has been the beneficiary of huge cor
rupton.
In Indiana it will challenge the rule of those
forces which a Republican attorney general de-
scribed as<'mysterious mpostors" under whom the
real Republicans have had no voice in government
The great rank and file of independent voters
have long had the suspicion if not the firm belief
that the political parties have come under the con-
troll of those who have used the words of Lincoln or
OF JeHerson 10 betray their followers and VINO
have really represented something vastly different
than the ideals of these founders of parties
Honesty in government, freedom from corrup-
ton, return to the faith Of the fathers are in
the minds of the people, whether the political
leaders recognize that fact or not The candidacy
of Mr.. Woollen will at least have the effect of
emphasizing the need Of these characteristics in
government Perhaps the redemption of Indiana
will be simultaneous with a national revival of
honesty

A Business Discovery

Prices have declined to the lowest level since
the war"
This colorless announcement by the Federal
reserve board, coupled with review of generally
prosperous conditions, has behind of the most
remarkable stories of modern times.
1t means the rewriting of thousands of books
and the reshaping of ideas firmly held that they
had become almost part of the gospel of business
and industry.
1t knocks theories evolved by generations of
economists into cooked hat, for it means that we
can have industrial prosperity the same time that
prices are declining.
Ten years ago who made such an assertion
would have been called stupid.
1t universally believed that rising price
level was necessary for prosperity.
There was good for such belief Mer-
chants holding large stocks which were declining
in value had slight depreciation to sell them at a
sacrifice They held on to them hoping prices
would rise again.
AS long as merchants held their goods waiting
for prices to rise they didn't place large orders with
factories. Consequently the factories were forced
to lay off workers AS a result there were still
fewer people to buy the merchants goods, and prices
instead Of going up went farther down.
Before the this sort of thing had happened
sumed that it always would happen 1t remained
for the United States to since the war that 1t
need not necessarily happen.
The principal secret Of this. development prob
ably lies in what we have come to call hand to
mouth" buying
Merchants have stopped making enormous in
Vesment in stocks of goods the possession of which
used to make price decline disaster.
Now they carry stocks just large enough to
meet demands of their customers, and keep these
stocks moving all the time.
Consequently when prices decline they are not
badly caught. They dispose of their small stocks.
and buy more at lower prices.
AS long as the merchants stocks are small and
moving rapidly business be carried on proftably
when prices declining.
That's the discovery which American business
men have made since the war;
So far as the comfort and security of the COM
mon man is concerned, it's one Of the most impor-
tant discoveries made during modern industrial
times.

SiCkening Incident

1t is sickening to read of such an
incident as occurred in Little Rock
on Wednesday.
You cannot reconcile the idea of
lynching a Negro and then burning
his gasoline-soaked body in public
with the principles and standards
that are supposed to prevail in this
country.
Admitting that he assaulted a
white women and that this is one
of the most offensive crimes con-
ceivable, the lawless manner of his
execution is still more offensive.
It's to be hoped that the grand
jury which indicted him and which
warned the people of Little Rock
that it was prepared to investigate
and punish mob violence will do its
duty.
Lawlessness on the part of white
people never was and never will be
an effective remedy for Iawlessness
on the part OF colored people.

Thin Excuse

You cannot quarrel with England
for reopening the debt question. Hers
was the right if she wanted to exer-
else it. She certainly adopted queer
method, however, when she picked
up Secretary MELONS letter to Hib-
ben as an excuse for doing so.
The excuse appears all the thinner
when you realize that it was not her
object merely to challenge Secretary
Melons figures, but to suggest modi-
fication of the debt agreement.
The debt issue cannot be side
stepped or disposed OF by taking ad-
vantage of England's bad taste,
though Secretary kellogg seems to
think so.
There is far more to be discussed
and settled than the question: of
whether a letter from our secretary
of the treasury to a college president
forms the proper basis for diplo-
matte exchange.

Women Smoke C-g-r-t-s

Woman's emancipation is complete in one more
sfeld. She now smokes nithe cigaret ads.
~ She's been smoking everywhere else for a long
time but never in the ads. In the ads she might
asniff with dreamy delight the fragrance of a gents
scigaret, gaze with star-eyed admiration her
shero blew smoke rings or even hold match for her
billboard lover. But smoke herself? Never. Not in
5the ads. 1
You could tell from her expression that she rec
ognized what Difference Just a Few Cents Make
land that she knew why They Satisfy But you
were left to suppose that if She'd Walk Mile for
Zone it would not be for the purpose smoking 1t.
That stage is past. In current magazine ap-
pears pretty advertisement showing a woman
4dantlX smoking certain cigaret.
I'VE thought the time has come to take sex out
of cgarets" say the advertisers They may be right
On the other hand this is country that dearly
: loves to fool itself about some things.

wants to have ready at the foot Of
the F'ranco-Italian Alps, which in
case Of war between the two coun-
tries would be the starting point, Il
large part of her entire forces. On
the other hand France seems TO ex-
pect that the special nature of the
region utilized by her troops of COW
err, supported by her Notifications,
would give her time to put into the
field the. necessary reserves.
Italy More Exposed
There is an important geographic
al reason, however, for the greater
number Of forces maintained by
Italy on her side of the frontier.
Except in the Alps Maritimes de-
partment of France, the summit of
the Alps constitutes the Franco
Italian frontier. But the frontier
line does not divide the Alps region
into two equal parts. Towards Italy,
there is a rapid converging, descent,
towards the plain of the Pc, where
are found concentrated the greatest
part of the industrial and. agricul-
tural resources of Italy; whereas on
the French side there is a much
longer extent of mountainous region,
with divergent detectives of impor-
lance, but which do not command
the economic life of France. Thus
nature has rendered Italy more eX-
posed at the frontier than France is.
The respective naval strengths of
France and Italy in the Mediter
ranean at the beginning of 1927
were as follows: battle cruisers,
France, s.; Italy, 5; cruisers, France, g.;
Italy 10; torpedo-boat destroyers,
France 4, Italy s; torpedo-boats,
France 26, Italy 40; submarines,
France go, Italy AZ.
Navies Changing
Both navies are in a process of
renaissance. In capital ships, the
situation of the two navies is about
the same. In torpedo boats and tor
pedo boat destroyers Italy has a de-
cided superiority, which will con-
tinue until units now under con-
struction in France can be put into
service. 1t is largely in submarines
that Frances naval strength lies
and this is why she does not look
kindly on President Coolidges pro-
posal for a second naval disarm-
ament conference. The superiority
that Italy has in numbers of subma-
rines is only paper, for of Italy's
forty-two submarines there are twen-
ty-four Of an old type and which are
of only $50 tons. Certain of the
French submarines are of 1900 tons
while the average of the others is
500 tons. Frances submarine pow
err will continue to be reinforced as
she puts into service undersea craft
now under construction.

Same Old Tangle

8 Now the city council proposes to look carefully
unto the purchase of fire equipment by the board of
safety to discover whether there is any close con-
snection between the contracts and various enter
hainments offered to officials by manufacturers
& The suspicion that there might be some con-
Erection between these profers of hospitality and the
expenditure Of the peoples money is raised by the
gnembers of the council who apparently were not en-
stertaned.
Presumably the city needs this fire equipment

cause the councmen to be nquisitive.

Was It Serious?

Some fourteen months ago, the attorney gen.
beral of this State charged Rev. E. S. Shumaker,
head of the AntiSaloon League of this State with
embarrassing the Supreme Court by false repre-
Bentations as to it's decisions. ~
His charge was explicit He declared that only
by punishment for contempt of court could the
highest judicial body of this State escape the fear
.of public criticism and decide liquor cases, many
then pending being listed, according to the law
He charged that the head of this organization
had embarked upon program of terrorism which
Threatened to engulf all justice and to substitute
Through his vast power, his own opinions for the
law and the constitution.
The proceeding is of nature which is deemed
summary 1t is the last resort of courts to protect
themselves 1t implies a necessity for swift and
speedy action.
The Supreme Court asked for advice and
counsel from six lawyers of the State, chosen equal
by from the two major political parties, selected
Because of their presumed standing and the con-.
Efdence in which they held by the public at
large
Those lawyers delivered an opinion to the court
sas to the law very soon after they had been called
upon to act.
An election has since been held.
e. Whether that political terrorism played part
COR not is part of the record
& Some weeks ago the attorney general filed
motion asking that the be advanced" which
SIS probably the legal way of asking for decision.
Z 1t is within the province of proper inquiry to
ASK whether shumaker is guilty of contempt or
lis not.

may in discussion of decisions of the court with
sout infringing on the dignity and worth of that
court The court is entitled to protection, if it needs
1t from attack if it feels that such utterances as
EInade by the head of the dry forces are menace
to it's freedom of action.
One of the causes cited by the American Bar
Association for what it believes to be growing
disrespec for courts is the delay between the COM
mission of an act and the final judgment of the
courts. It's committees have repeatedly attempted
TO revise rules Of procedure looking toward more
Speedy determination of all causes both civil and
criminal.
Perhaps fourteen months is not too lengthy
period for full contemplation of so serious matter
aOr was it serious?

We Forget Easily

The first difficulty to be met in
outlining a program of flood control
for the Mississippi is lack of a we'll
formed public opinion. We are an
impulsive people. 1t is our weak
ness to become tensely interested
in something overnight, and to lose
interest just as quickly.
The problem Of the Mississippi is
rooted IN that weakness.
Several times since the Civil War
we have become passionate over the
idea. of flood control. but only to
forget our noble intentions as soon
as the river went down.

BaItimore'S Election

The result of Baltimore's mayor.
atty election is being overestimated
1t was not a reverse for Governor
Richie or slap at Al Smith.
Baltimore was not voting on the
availability of either man as a
Democratic candidate for President
While the religious issue might
have played part, It probably
played no greater part than Broen
ings good record on the one hand
and resentment against ring rule on
the other.
Cities seldom vote on national
issues, for the very simple reason
that they usually have trouble
enough of their own.
