Laza, and Justice
BY Dexter Nj. Keezer

A man, after being acquitted of criminal offense
sued the man who had caused the charge to be
brought, for damages account of malicious prose-
cuton. He contended that there had been any
basis for the criminal charge, and that it had been
brought simply to harass him and cause him suffer-
ing The man who had brought the charge defended
himself by stating that he had discussed the case
with reputable attorney and that the attorney adj
vised him that there was good ground for having
the criminal charge made.
He contended that his disclosure of the facts to
the attorney and his subsequent action the attor
ney's advice constituted complete defense against
suit for damages account Of malicious prosecution
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Okla
hona decided that there was no basis for damages
on account Of malicious prosecution The court said
that the disclosure Of the facts to reputable attor
ney who advised prosecution barred claim for dam
ages on account Of malicious prosecution

dain and establish this Constitu-
ton for the United States OF
America"
This preamble Is a sublime,
comprehensive, and an accurate
statement of the purposes of gov
ernmental activity can be classified
under one or more of the six great
purposes set forth in it.
For some unaccountable reason
there has been a disposition not to
attach to the preamble the signifi-
canoe which it possesses. 1t is high
ly important, because the Constitu-
ton was dedicated to the six pur-
poses set forth in the preamble and
to no other purposes.
1t is proper to assume that, in the
making or interpreting or enforcing
of laws, public officials should ask
themselves: Is this law being made
or Interpreted or enforced in accord
ance with one or more of the six
purposes set forth in the preamble?
Such test adhered to would greatly
Improve the functioning of our
Government.

Always ON Job

Hoover's fault is too much
imagination. He is not a routine
man in any sense of the word, not
a conservative, not a stand-patter
not scared to rock the boat.
1t would be hard to find two more
opposite types than he and Prei-
dent Coolidge.
Since Hoover entered public life
he has made himself conspicuous
wherever trouble was to be found.
He has followed flood. famine
disease and suffering as a duck fol-
lows water. He has initiated one
relief scheme after another and has
induced the American people to
contribute millions by way Of
support.
The world has hardly experienced
disaster during the last ten years
without Hoover being mixed up in
it somewhere, and always on the
side of helping those in need.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-16
Hughes Position

Mr.. Hughes is much respected
citizen. He is remembered as an
efficient Governor of New York,
as an able justice of the Supreme
Court and as a fair Secretary OF
State. He is also regarded as an
able lawyer who has rendered good
service to the public on occasion.
But, and this is rather important,
he is not type that inspires en-
thusiasm, or that is associated in
the public mind with any outstand-
ing policy or program.
Besides, his defeat at the hands
of Woodrow Wilson in 1916, when
he appeared to have every advan-
tage. is handicap which would be
hard to overcome.
So far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, Mr.. Hughes would be about
the best candidate the Republicans
could nominate.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-16
Fear Jazzing Up

Hoover is essentially Of that type
which likes to be doing things
extravagant, venturesome, but gen.
orally making a fair job of it.
One finds it difficult to picture
him as President Of the United
States without a good deal of ac-
tivity at Washington.
The chances are that he would
jazz things up quite a bit, that he
would demand action, rather than
economy, and that he might
inaugurate projects that could be
described as conservative.
What Hoover might do presents
too much of a contrast to the kind
of administrations they have known
and enjoyed for Republican leaders
to view it with equinirnity.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-16
Foes of Hoover

Secretary Mellon denies that he
has launched a boom for Hughes,
and Hughes chooses" to remain 81
lent on the question of whether he
wants boom launched.
Meanwhile. it is perfectly evident
that some scheme is being Matched
in Administration circles to side
track Hoover.
Just why Administration circles
look with such little favor on Hoo
ver's candidacy is something Of a
puzzle.
To all outward appearances, he
is regarded, highly by President
Coolidge and other party leaders.
They are praising constantly his vir-
tues and proclaiming his achieve
ments. When it comes to the ques-
ton Of a presidential nominee, how
ever, one finds them stubbornly toy
ing with other names.

M. E.
TRACY
SAYS:
Theoretically, We Haze
: TaOo Parties, but Actual
Iy Ne Haze Three.

Taking it for granted that Presi-
dent Coolidge meant II refuse
when he said IT choose" who will
theN Republicans nominate?
Longworth, Lowden, Hughes and
Hoover seem the most likely candi-
dates.
Outside Of being conspicuous In
Republican politics for twenty years
and more, Longworth's chief asset
consists in the fact that his wife
would make a splendid chief ex-
ecutive.
Lowden is making quite stir
among the farmers as progressive
but is too much Of a millionaire to
play the part to its logical conclu-
sion.
\ This harrows the race down to
Hughes and Hoover.

Thirty paintings, lent by the
Richmond Art Association, have
been hung in Gallery XII, at the
John Heron Art Institute.
Richmond has a wide reputation
as center of art appreciation, its
Art Association having gathered to-
gether as a permanent possession
an excellent and valuable collection
of paintings and sculpture. From
this collection the present exhibition
in our museum was selected. Dis
tinguished names and important
canvases are included in the group
The self portrait by William M
Chase is a brilliant example of the
best in Chase portraiture. A COM
position filed to the very edges OF
the frame with a fascinating mis-
cellany of studio equipment, is still,
with all its accumulation o. dis
fractions, triumphantly dominated
by the figure of the artist, the
sharply modelled head, the living
quality" of the glance.
The painter, with his palette rest
ing on his arm stands before a
fresh gray canvas and a table with
a yellow cover and containing bowl
and bottles, brushes and a crumple
of white paint rag" TANKS the
easel in the foreground. Behind
the easel a stream of sunlight pours
through a window with partly
drawn green shade, and falls on
wall and floor and on bright mass
of studio properties.
The wall behind the figure is dark
and the detail of the furnishings is
blurred by shadow, but the coloring
here is scarcely less interesting than
the high-keyed corner where the
light falls.
william Chase was born in In
diana, and though he lived in the
East during the years of his artistic
achievement, and died there, his
native State still claims him, not
however in quite the same genial
spirit of affection as has been felt
toward Steele and Forsyth, Bundy
and j. Otis Adams, and those
others who have built up their
regulations here at home, satisfied
to be classed as Hoosier painters
Several of these are represented
in this exhibition. There are two
large landscapes by j. E. Bundy, one
by T. c. Steele, a self portrait by
william Forsyth, a landscape by
Francis F. Brown, a small study of
nude by Randolph Goats, a still
life by S. P. Baus, and one by Win
fired Adams and a charming little
landscape by j. Otis Adams.
"Taos from the Hilltop" is a
tremendously toned, cleverly han
died landscape by Victor Higgins,
who also was born Hoosier but
who makes his home in Chicago
and in the southwest. blue
Springs" by ]. z. Bundy depicts a
landscape typical of the Indiana
countryside. A wooded tract of
rolling land cut by winding strip
of road and shrouded in the mists
of early spring street.-the back to
distant blueness and pa.e sky. A
nice feeling for values and re-
strained use of color add to its po-
etc appeal. A s-iall canvas OF dis
tinctive sprigntliness is Forest
Friends" by F. Luis Mora.
Child visitors to the. gallery have
been charmed by it-doubltess be-
cause of the graceful doe that leaps
on slender legs. But also more dis
eliminating critics have paused to
enjoy the Forest Friends'-the de-
lightful movement of the two, the
doe and the lithe-limbed child, and
the shady forest where they gambol.

Progressive Faction

The situation would be easier to
size up IL it were not for the part
the "progressives" are likely to play.
This part is revealed partially by
Senator Nye's statement which ap-
peared in Thursdays papers, and
which is not to be taken lightly.
He calls on the "progressives" to
rally round definite program, the
outstanding feature of which is OPP
position to any tax cut in order
that the Government may use its
cash to relieve farmers and flood
sufferers.
He says he can count on at least
twelve Senators to stand by this
program, but even If that number
were reduced by one-half. it would
still be insufficient to hold bal
ance of power in the Senate.
The Senate consists of forty
eight Republicans, forty-seven
Democrats and one Farmer-Laborite.
This means that a group of only
three or four stubborn men could
spoil any party measure.

Prior to the writing OF JIllS pre-
amble, there cannot be found
good, brief, clear, comprehensive
statement of the purposes OF gov
eminent, though one may have ac-
cess to all that was said by Soc
rates, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius,
or Montesquieu and all that was
ever said by any individual or group
~pf individuals in any country, IN
GLIDING our own, before that time.
This fact is a striking illustration
of what a vague science government
had been before the Constitution
was written. Not even a good
statement of the purposes OF gov
eminent had been made, to say
nothing of providing a good plan for
setting up government.
Some very interesting questions
for contemplation are suggested in
this connection.
To what extent is the dedication
of our government to the purposes
set forth in the preamble respon-
sible for our having become a peace
minded nation?'
Would it tend to make other ma
tons peace-minded if they were to
dedicate their governments to the
purposes set forth in the preamble?

IL. Provision to pledge all ma

IA. Ban on religious test as

Article VII
Is. Method for ratification.
This is a brief analysis Of the
plan of the Constitution and a
skeleton outline of its contents.
One can readily see that it is not
merely a statement of right or prin-
ciples, but is a plan for setting up
a mechanism to administer gov
eminent.
The right mental condition for
real understanding and just appre-
citation of the purpose and plan of
the Constitution is to regard each
one of the fifteen elements set forth
in this outline as a part of an ex-
cellent plan for government, just as
each letter in the alphabet, each
one of the ten digits, and each note
in the scale of music is part of an
excellent plau.

The 'progressives" are in a po-
sition to bother the Coolidge Ad-
ministration considerably, and to
spoil the pet Democratic issue which
is a larger tax cut than the Coolidge
Administration would like to grant.
theoretically, we have two par
ties, but actually we have three.
We have three, because the two

than oppose them.
