NOT TOO LATE

There is still time for any State official to de-
mand exoneration and vndication if he feels ag-
grieved because party caucus of Republican mem
bers of tho Legislature frowned upon any investi-
cation
Citizens generally are somewhat perplexed by
the apparent willingness of these officials whose
names have been linked with stories of scandal and
corruption to let the matter rest
The people might have expected that these Off
Gals who have been the subject of attack and
charges would wish to have full and open inquiry
into their actions that there could be mistake
But the reverse seems to be true. Not Of
these officials has petitioned the Legislature to re-
verse it's decision and give him chance to re-
establish himself in public confidence.
The charges made by D. c. Stephenson who was
giving orders to the Legislature two years ago, do
not arouse any wrath on the part of officials.
Many of these officials held such close and
confidential relations with the life termer at Mich-
gan City when he ''the law in Indiana" that the
people have been inclined to believe that he spoke
the truth when he declared he could prove corrup-
ton broad scale.
The people know that the attorneys in the Marion
County grand jury probe paid from the Gov
errors contingent fund and that the report Of that
grand jury invited suspicion of it's own fairness by
declaring that unusual conditions prevailed within
that body.
The people have every reason to suspect the
fairness or the completeness of that grand jury report
when it's own membership insisted on inviting sus
pcion and doubt
The members of the public service commission
might have been expected OF rush to the Legislature
for vindcation when they knew of the charge made
by the then corporation counsel of indianapolis that
that body was controlled by the giving of huge
campaign fund in 1924.
They do not apparently, resent the imputation
that they utility agents placed on commission
designed to protect the public and that they owe
their positions to the utilities which they pass
judgment.
1t might have been expected that either they
or the Governor who names them, would have in
dignantly resented this open charge and demanded
that the Legislature investigate.
But so far none of these officials have made any
appeal for an investigation caucus of Repub
lican members made silence and suppression a party
policy. The lid was put on and weighted by
solid VOTE
There is still time to reverse that decision.
Surely the party of Lincoln is not afraid to face
facts

HOW TO TREAT A CUSTOMER
BY N. d. Cochran

1t isn't difficult to understand the changed attitude
of manufacturing nations toward China. They are
not dealing with the same China they so freely ex
plotted and bull-dozed generation They are deal
ing with slumbering giant who has been getting his
eyes open and looking around him. The wider awake
he gets the bigger he will loom as a customer for
American European and Japanese goods.
Business men who want to cultivate the custom
of this growing buyer see the growing necessity of
treating him with respect Japan got rough with him
only few years ago and ran up against boycott
that cost Japanese business men lot of money. Now
Japan is more tender about John Chnaman's sensitive
feelings. SO the United States Great Britain and
other European countries that have goods to SELL
In modern business hitting the customer over the
head with baseball bat isn't considered smart sales
manship. Treating him like gentleman, at least
good fellow, gets better results.
Anyhow in China, political diplomacy is coming
around to sound business methods. That's all right
There is why legitimate business and legi
mate government shouldn't work handin-hand
There is nothing wrong about our Government,
for example doing whatever it can to promote the
growth of legitimate American business in foreign
countries. The good will it builds up in its
conduct toward other countries the easier will be for
legitimate American business to promote American
trade. In other words good government is good bust
ness.
But don't overlook that word legitimate in con-
nection with business When political government
attempts its power and influence to promote
illegitinate business then is when it begins to get
In trouble.
Blundering diplomacy in relations with our
neghbors in Central America is bad government and
hence bad business. A bulldozing attitude toward a
proud and sensitive people in Central and South Amer
lea, simply means destroying friendship and png
resentment and bad WILL Carried too far it may mean
boycott of American goods 1t may destroy the good
will built up by legitimate business methods of legii
mate American business interests.
American marines can't sell American goods down
there at the point Of the bayonet An army Of travel
ing statesmen with deadly weapon than an
fr0ndly
relations than entire Army Navy together.
Being better business, it would be better diplomacy.
What do want to do with Central Americans?
We don't want to eat them. We can't make slaves of
them, and wouldn't if could. We can't get any
good out of them by making them hate and our
flag They can be of no earthly use to enemies.
But they one whale of an asset if they will like
frien6s and neighbors.
There is no sane reason why policy toward
all nations should not be kindly, courteous friendly
and generous,

know and 1 know that Miss Murray
can look mighty wild when she
wants to on the screen. She rather
specializes in this type of dame. And
so our heroine arrives from Paris
with a no-account Count and of
course she elopes with him. And at
the hotel she finds that he is still
married to his first wife. And so
Mae crowns him on the head and he
passes away to dreamland. But Mae
thinks she has murdered the no-ac-
count and from then on the story
gets very melodramatic, but has one
of those please everybody endings.
And where does Conway Tearle
come in with his high blonde tenn
perature? Well, he is the guy who
stays at home and silently loves our
heroine. And in the end of the
picture he wins her.
The picture has some rather clever
color photography scenes. OF course
Miss Murray has a few hot love
scenes and that is to be expected in
her picture.
But the big noise at the Ohio this
week is not the Mae Murray picture,
but Charlie Davis and his gang.
Davis has his men dolled up like
Northwestern mounted police.
Davis has worked out a good be-
ginning for this weeks musical offer
ing and he finds that THE Indian
Love Call" is still great favorite
with the audience. Then he brings
on a young fellow. who does some
clever hoofing which stops the show.
Davis is receiving his greatest
ovations this week and he deserves
it, but he should be careful with
the alleged comedy that he allows
others to use. The dead cat" story
has no place in such corking fine
offering as Davis is giving the Ohio
patrons this week.
Bill includes a comedy, a News
reel, and other events.
At the Ohio all week.

whaerconttuton OF

affords partial check on State Department actiyi-
ties.
1t is being frankly suggested that the State De-
partment only awaits the adjournment Of Congress
to exercise what it calls firm hand in Mexico.
That may not be true, but the failure to make
any move toward settlement of the oil law dispute
lends plausbility to the suggestion.
This delay in the face of Senate resolution
urging arbitration has another serious consequence
There is at present an embargo on the shipment
of arms from the United States to Mexico. 1t was
instituted by our Government friendly act to
the Mexican government in order to make revolu-
tionary uprising definite.
There is no similar embargo the shipment
of arms from Europe. The only check on European
shipments is the diplomatic assumption that the
United States is friendly to its southern neghbor and
wants to aid in the maintenance of stable gov
eminent It's purely moral restraint resulting
from the United States embargo policy.
Every day of delay in making friendly adjust
ment of the dispute between the United States and
Mexico weakens the restraint on shipment OF arms
from Europe. There people in Mexico who
want arms and who can pay for them There are
European arms manufacturers who want the money.
How long can the moral restraint against their
acceptance of profitable contracts be maintained.
Just about long as it appears that the United
States really wants to assist the Mexican govern
ment in the maintenance of order Delay in settling
the oil dispute denies that wish
Arms shipments to Mexico revolution,
and grave United States entanglements.

Back to Nature When
Cities Justify Right
to Exist.

DENVER Colo, Feb. 1f.-Cities
look to nature, not only for living,
but for their pleasure, their right TO
exist. When they are through ex-
planning what man has done by way
of skyscrapers, paved streets and
parks, they justify it all by calling
attention to the fertility of the ada
cent land, the magniGcence of nearby
scenery or the economic advantages
OF their location.
In San Francisco you are told
about the Golden Gate, the bay and
these seventeen hills. In Cleveland,
you are taken for a drive along the
lake front, and in Birmingham you
are shown the iron-breasted hills.
Even New Workers admit that the
Singer building has nothing on the
Palisades and that the harbor is the
secret of the town.
Denver is proud of her mountains,
not only for the beauty theJ repre-
sent, but for the challenge they Of
fer. And why shouldn't she be?
Here is grandeur to intrigue the
artist, treasure to lure the prospec-
tor and solidity to touch the deeper
chords of human character.
