A WISE PROGRAM

A ten million dollar program for higher educa-
ION in this State, to be provided by taxation over
period Of ten years, should receive the Endorsement
,. the people.
Governor Jackson, In his plan and program, has
scnsed the public mind on this subject.
Undoubtedly the people of the State will be much
more ready to pay for better colleges and univer-
Stiles higher standards of training, better facilities
for the Students than they for many other State
projects
The facts that Indiana has Stacked lament
ably the question of education, especially in it's
colleges and universities.
Compared with the neighborng States of Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, it spends less In
proportion to either population wealth.
The inevitable result is occurring and will occur
until the situation is remedied.
Alert youths are looking elsewhere for their edu
cation and the and daughters of Indiana citizens
leaving the State to attend the colleges and uni
verstes OF States which are more liberal in this
matter.
~ ten million dollar program period of ten
years is not too much 1t could be greater without
arousing any considerable criticism.

enough to take advantage of all the technicates and
to watch the crowded dockets.
Probably the Legislature will fit to create
these ten new courts They may of course, hesitate
when it comes to the measure for Evansville where
there is protest that the court Is intended to
take away power from a particular Judge who has
been active threatens to be active in investigating
frauds of various kinds. But probably the most of
the new courts will come into existence and add new
burdens to the public pocketbook.
1t is just new evidence of a growing disease.
Some day the people may decide to common
sense and handle the liquor problem basis that
will results instead of carrying the policy
of endeavorng to wipe out an admitted evil by max
ing criminals out of a vast proportion of the popua-
ton.

new order came into existence suffering disu-

MORE COTTRTS

Ten new courts are suggested and the session
of the Legislature is only fairly started
Undoubtedly the sponsors for these new courts
will be able to prove beyond doubt that the dockes
OF present courts choked and that it is impos-
sible for any tgant to secure a speedy hearing Of
his cause or for the State to proceed with any speed
in the prosecution of offenders
1t is not difficult to discover the reason for this
condition and it is not altogether desire on the
part of lawmakers to secure one more political Of
flee to be filled.
The trouble lies in the fact that all the courts,
state and Federal, have been loaded down with the
burden OF prosecuting of liquor violations and
that the passing of time increases rather than dimn
ishes the number of such cases.
The cost of prohibition and the present laws of
this State that subject IS not to be estimated
tirely by the court fees. The people paying in
other directions.
One of the chief causes of dsrespect for courts
and the decreasing influence they have upon public
opinion is in the interminable delays which occur.
There are cases the dockets which have been
there until witnesses have died or moved away from
jurisdiction of courts
No longer is there any real answer to that con-
stitutional guarantee of speedy trial.
One of the complaints against the old system of
monarchy was that the judges named by the ruler
delayed the trials of accused persons holding them
in jails or under suspicion and humiliation in order
to wreak private vengeance
One of the first acts of the who founded this
republic was to place in the Constitution guarantee
that every accused of crime should be afforded
a trial without unnecessary delays.
1t is true that large numbers of accused persons
do not desire the protection of that provision the
Constitution.
They prefer to have their trials delayed and
again delayed. These are the guilty.
Here is where the State suffers for it is fast
growing upon the public mind that there is little
danger In crime II you secure lawyer shrewd

MONROE AND COOLIDGE

'ney regard their nationals in jeopardy in order
that the Washington Government may first determine
in the light of the Monroe Doctrine what action II
cares to take. In the case of Nicaragua two Euro
pean countries informed the Washington Government
of fears entertained for their nationals in Nicaragua
and the President takes the view this aspect of the
question could not be disregarded"
There is nothing in the history of the Monroe
doctrine from Monroe to Coolidge that precedent
for this country sending forces into any Central
OF Southern American country, of blockading its
ports, or OF interfering in its internal politics because
some European power fears for it's nationals"
The main purpose Of the Monroe Doctrine was ia
prevent the extension Of European onarchical svs
tenn TO this continent On several occasions since this
doctrine was announced by President Monroe the
United States has not interfered with the blockadine
OF south American ports by European governments
ana even bombardment of Valparaiso and Callao by
spanish war vessels. So long the Europeans dis
ciaimed any purpose of acquiring territory Uncle Sam
