''FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL.

Federal Judge Frank Cooper of New York will
begin now perhaps, to see justice in a new light
Here is judge who, according to allegations
before Congress, conspired with prohibition agents
to trap and entice into violating the law
And, in cases arranged, he sat in judgment,
assessing fines in excess of $4,000, sending victims
to the penitentiary for from one to two years
AS result he now faces possible impeachment
Charges are before the House Judiciary Committee
in Washington. The charges are made by Repre-
sentative La Guarda of New York.
If impeached, will his honor consent to stand
trial with Representative La Guardia as Judge?
or course not
But would it be worse for La Guardia to judge
the he has helped institute against Cooper than
for Cooper to judge the cases he helped institute
against men and in the northern district of
New York?
The judge summoned Prohibition Administrator
r. Q. Merrck to Albany, according to Merrick's Off
cial report, and said che wanted me to take action
to get the higher ups who import liquor from Can

THE BEST RECOMMENDATION

Perhaps the best recommendation for the city
manager form of government comes from the Evans
vile politicians who attempting to prevent sec
ond class cities in this State from adopting it.
The Senator who introduced the measure does
not live in city of that size. The fact that Sena
tor from any second class city would sponsor this
measure is at least significant.
1t is real issue down at Evansville. The PEG
pie of that city tired of their present sort of
government and its control The mayor Of that city,
it may remembered, testified before Senator Reed
as did the mayor of Indianapolis, that he had Travelled
to Washington at the expense of the Khan to dis
cuss his appointments with the imperial wizard
That explains why the people of Evansville may
have come to the conclusion that they would prefer
different government, on business basis, and not
one by suffrance from an unofficial dictator.
In order to preserve themselves in Office the
politicians of that second class city want to destroy
the law which permits citizens to select the city
manager form of government.
There are no appeals petitions from citizens
10 the Legislature asking for this law. The people,
strangely enough, believe that they either take
It or leave it alone. They show no great desire
for protection against themselves
The people of this city interested in the
measure, not because it applies to Indianapolis in
its present FORM but because if there any sent
ment for the measure, the local machine would well
come a broadening of It's provisions to include this
and all other cities.
When political machines. dscredited and wob-
bling, ask for such law, decent citizens might at
least show interest in what that law give.
The answer to this measure should be petitions
in every second class city for the adoption of the
modern type of government.
Indianapolis might take the lead by getting busy
in giving expression to the almost universal demand
for it's adoption here.
There is no question as to sentiment in favor
of the law. Longer delay by those who have as
sumed responsibility for obtaining the necessary
number of signatures to petitions will need an expa-
nation.

Others Don't Believe

The trouble with us Americans is
that we don't try to learn. don't
want to learn, don't think there is
anything worth learning outside our
own country.
We have become infatuated with
the notion that it is our fate to make
the world over, that we have solved
all the problems and that nothing re-
mains for us but missionary work.
This may be true, but nine.tenths
of the human race won't believe it
and that is a factor TO be reckoned
with. Other people have worked out
moral codes and political systems
which suit their ideals and circum-
stances.
We must make allowance for all
that, not in a superior, patronizing
way, but intelligently, if we would
get along in peace, which is a phase
of education we are neglecting.

Shy on Diplomacy

When it comes to mechanical Skill
to mass production and the pro,
motion of vast enterprises, the
United States can show the world a
clean pair Of heels, but when il
comes to diplomacy, language and a
good understanding of international
affairs, the United States is five ticks
slower than a dumb watch.
This is peculiarly surprising when
you remember that the United States
has a larger foreign trade than any
other nation, Sspends more money
travelling and has better facilities for
finding out what is going on.
