SMALL BLAZE, NORMAL LOSS

The Sank Centre Fire Depart
ment responded to an early morn
ing alarm Monday when called to
the w. A. Moore residence at 819
Third street. A gasoline stove in
the basement of the home which
had been lighted suddenly burlt in
to flames. Mrs. Moore, who was
in the basement at the time, i'm
mediately turned in the alarm
The flames were, confined to the
stove and were extinguished when
the department arrived. The COW
erings of some pipes located di-
rectly over the stove had been
touched by the flames and burned
slightly. They were smouldering,
and the chemical was turned on
them. There was no other dam
age done, but had the stove ex-
ploded unnoticed in all probability
it would have resulted seriously.

Judge Not by the Appearance

One of the sayings that have become quite popu-
lar of late is to the effect that the happer, though
fair to look upon, is really quite dumb. The mod
ern youth of the feminine variety has to be
garded as person who probably has to go through
chat foolish stage" where her mind turns to wild
garments rouged face, lpsticked mouth and
all that.
Sometimes this is true, sometimes not An Ar
kansas City fapper of the high school type showed
the other day that girl who uses rouge and lip
stick can think quickly and act in crisis.
A 6-year-old boy fell into lake near the town.
The fapper was the only witness She saw some
men at distance and shouted to Them but they did
not hear Stripping off her coat, she plunged in and
managed to bring the boy to shore.
Now what to do with unconscious boy whose
lungs are filled with water? The girl knew. With
out help from anyone, she applied the first aid know
edge of which she had read casually in the news
papers. She pumped the young mans lungs dry and
kept pumping until he breathed again.
To all appearances this little lady of those
modern pretty but dumb, sweet but unintegent flap
pers whose thoughts are concerned mainly with dis
coloring their faces and marching their hair
Sometimes the appearance doesn't mean thing.

Canada, the U. S. A. and England

We have with us in the national capital this week
Viscount Wilmington, Canadian general King
Georges viceroy and, in manner of speaking, king
of Canada.
Which is pleasure for somehow, no matter what
the not-so-big Bill Thompson Of Chicago thinks
about it, Americans have great weakness for their
British kin, particularly when they approach us from
our weakest side, Canada. We hope the viscount and
his lady enjoy the stay amongst us as much as we
enjoy having them.
The case of Canada and the United States is the
strangest in the world. Everywhere else frontiers
bristle with bayonets and frown with the muzzes Of
high-powered howitzers. Fortresses dot the land
scapes and naes patrol the coasts lest one good
neighbor sneak up on the other suddenly during the
darkest hour of some particularly dark night.
Not ourselves and Canada For more than 100
we have lived side by side in perfect peace and
security Some sixty years of that time Canada has
been self-governing dominion, to all intents and
purposes on her Yet not hair of her fair head
has been harmed.
And why? Because she was POWERFUL Her popu-
ation is about onetwentieth of ours Last year her
total national defense budget, army, navy and air
force amounted to $134OO421. She had 1858 officers
and men in her army Seventy officers and 446 men
in her navy and 1853 men, all ranks in her air force
And we with navy supposed to be the equal of any
on earCn ana ClneS greater personnel naLlOn-
al defense which costs approximately $650OOO0OO
a year to maintain.
No, there has been trouble between the United
States and Canada for two very good reasons: The
United States is not looking for trouble and Canada
seconds the motion
Now all this is old stuff to Canadians and Aneri-
We publish these lines on the off chance that
Englshmen or Brtshers other thon those lv-
ing in the north might see them In England now
adays they seeing ghosts-or pretending to see
them, which is almost as bad-in the shape of an
o-American rivalry
To any fair-mnded person Canada offers constant
and visible proof that the United States is not out to
gobble the world dominate the seas, Guido anybodys
navy or destroy anybody's trade
We've got the men
We can get the ships
And we've got the money, too :"
But the American people, with all their wealth and
power wish to live and let live without thought of
crushing anybody anywhere
If the distinguished governor general Of Canada
could make his people at homein the British isles,
not in Canada for they have found that out for them
selves ever long ago. realize this he might contrib
ute nightly to that English speaking understanding
without which this old world Of is in for some
bad times

(Elk,aart TRUTH


If he is innocent, as the whole
State hopes he is, Governor jack
son should welcome the oppor-
tunity to stand trial and show
that he is not guilty of the charge
of conspiracy to bride former Gov
ernor McCray, and so should the
other defendants, George v. Cof-
fin and Robert I. Marsh. The &C
ton of Special Judge Montgomery
in overruling the motion to quash
the indictment leaves the way
open for the defendants to refute
charges that have been made in
considerable detail.
In an ordinary criminal case, a
defendant is not much blamed for
taking advantage of his legal
rights to cite the statute of limita-
tons or some other technical rea-
son why he should escape trial.
But this case has to do with the
Governor of a great State that has
already severely suffered on &C
count of scandal, and he is under
the serious charge of conspiracy
to bride a former Governor. For
the sake of the people of this State
as well as himself and his asso-
ciates, the Governor should be
glad to present whatever evidence
he has to show that the grand
jury has wrongfully accused him.

The Wav to Elect Presidents

Why not elect the next President in the manner
provided by the Constitution namely by the electoral
college?
"The present system of electing a president is
crude archaic and incapable of accurately rejecting
the will of the voters" says Representative Clarence
F. Lea Democrat, of California. And he proposes
to introduce a constitutional amendment to abolish
the electoral college,.
MIR. Lea is correct in his statement to the
archaic and unrepresentative nature Of our pres1-
Dental election method. But reason it is so is
because the electoral college has, already, in practice
been abolished The election of president has been
taken over by volunteer political organizations, which
in fact have no constitutional standing and never
were foreseen by the makers Of the Constitution.
The legal and constitutional way of choosing a
President is thus described by the Constitution: Each
state shall appoint in such manner as the Legisla-
ture thereof may direct, number OF electors equal
to the whole number of Senators and Representatives
to which the State may be entitled in the Congress
"The Congress may determine the time of choos-
ing the electors and the day which they shall give
their votes which day shall be the same day through
out the United States"
State Legislatures have set up election machinery
for the choosing" not apponting) of electors, and
the time for choosing electors has been fixed as the
Tuesday next after the first Monday in November,
in every fourth year" Also it has been provided by
Federal statute that the electors in each State meet
and give in their votes the second Monday in
January next following their appointment at such
place in each State as the Legislature may direct"
Through years of political controversy practice
has grown up Of sending to the electoral college in
structed electors-that is electors instructed to vote
for some proclaimed candidate 1t is quite possible,
however, to choose electors, who might be left free
to cast their votes for whatever candidate might
IN the end to be the best under the circumstances
The State of Wisconsin, for example, might send
delegation of electors to the electoral college free
to cast their votes for George Norris, Josephus Dan
iels, AL Smith or Jane Adams as their final judg
ment might direct.
Such delegation would at least count for that
number Of votes in the final selection, whereas under
the present practice the State will not affect the
suit as between either Republican a Democratic
candidate.
The suggestion of Representative Lea is a good
one, If it leads to an examination of the present
impossible political machinery Also the threat Of
few uninstructed delegations to the electoral college
might bring gmmerng Of reason to the leaders of
the so-called two-party system.

The week opened with storm
at sea and Congress assembling
under a trumped-up truce which
deceives no one.
Weather, politics and crime
combined to furnish plenty Of in
teresting news.
In one column you read how
sailors we're dragged ashore above
roaring breakers in a breeches
buoy: in another how Sinclair
assumes full responsibility for
hiring detectives to watch the jury
considering his case, but claims
it was not contempt of court; in
still another how discussion Of
the Smith and Ware cases was
postponed twenty-four hours in
order to spare President Coolidge
embarrassment, and in still an
other how Mr.. and Mrs. E. Halde-
man-Julius have decided to leave
Girard, Kan, because the neigh
borS have become unfriendly.

It Is Unanimous Now

AS confidently predicted by The Times from
time to time Governor Ed jackson is most,
happy over the court procedure which finally
reaches the stage where he will have trial
upon the facts.
This assurance comes from the Governor IN
his statement to the public concerning the rul-
ings which fix tentative date for his trial
The Times has always asserted that the Gov
ernor should be the one citizen who ought to re-
ioice in a public hearing and has from time to
time suggested that if that hearing did not
occur in court, where the issues could be safe
" trusted. it should be held before legislative
tribunal
The public also will rejoice with the Gov
ernor over this most happy conclusion and will
be glad if there be no more delays and that he
be given the speedy trial which is guaranteed
60 him under the constitution.
The Governors attitude in this matter is
given in this public statement to the people:
Heretofore the proceedings before the court
have been directed wholly to determination OF
the sufaciency Of the accusation to justify trial
Now the time is at hand when those who
have seen fit to make these charges must submit
the basis for their accusations to the scrutiny OF
court in which the defense will have equal oppor-
tIInity to lay facts before a jury
Contrary to the Misrepresentation, wilful
and otherwise, which have been freely made,
this opportunity is very welcome to me.
It is quite certain that the Governor would
not wish that any inference be drawn that up
to this time there has been any effort on the
part of those representing the people to delay,
defer or prevent trial upon the facts.
That would be as unfair an attempt to
prejudice public opinion as would any declara-
ton from any source that the Governor had
tried to prevent such a hearing, whereas the
motions of his attorneys can only be construed
as a very proper legal effort to see that all the
safeguards for the innocent, guaranteed by the
laws and the Constitution had been observed.
Every one now seems agreed.
1t is definitely determined that the charges
have been properly drawn by properly consti-
tuted officers of the law and that the offense
is charged with legal defniteness.
Any attempt, either on the part OF the
Governor and his friends or those who have
been instrumental in bringing these charges to
influence in any way the verdict Of courts or
Jury would constitute most improper attack
not only upon the Governor but on the entire
theory Of law and justice
The Governor may be assured that his con-
.fidence in the sense Of fair play Of the people
Of Indiana is not misplaced.
They also, only want the facts. The Gov
ernor wants them made public. AT last there
is unanimity Of opinion that assures impartial
justice

Unnecessary Trouble

1t will strike the average reader
that Mr.. and Mrs. Haldeman-
julius have stirred up a lot of I'M
necessary trouble. First, they
consented to a companionate
marriage for their daughter,
which was all right. Then they
gave it widespread publicity,
which was not so all right. Then
Mr.. Haldeman-Julius announced
that the daughter was born six
years before their marriage and
that he was Josephine's father;
that she had been adopted by
Mr.. Haldeman-Julius and that he
would not stand for any oh
reflection on her birth or mo1-ler.
All of which is now admitted.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Haldeman-Ju-
Illus says that he claimed Joseph
inc as a natural child in order to
protect her, but most people villa
find It hard to see where the idea
Of protection comes in.

The Singing Statesmen

Blue Monday has been chased from the earth and
it's environs forever. You need never be blue Of a
Monday any more. New York automobile sales
company has started the Blue Monday right off the
boards.
every Monday, bright and early" says the man
ager of the company, 1--WE all get together (meaning
some thirty salesmen) and one of the boys who has
some glee club experience, leads us while we sing
some of the old songs. We have an orchestra with
violin, three saxophones, piano, banjo and traps
For twenty minutes just let ourselves go and have
good time which is possible in an office"
Sweetness and light! But it should be carried
further The salesman should carry along a saxo-
phone when he goes to meet prospect The man
who didn't automobile, if serenaded of Mon
day morning with saxophone solo, probably would
buy several automobiles. We would like ourselves
if only to run over the salesman with the tuba.
While prospect is debating with himself
piston dspacements and spare tires twang the banjo,
James, and he will buy until it hurts.
When trying to get man to turn in his old model
for one Of the new roadsters sing "The Old Oaken
Bucket" He'll like it.
Singing is fine But we'd hate to drop in on one
of the Blue Monday auto salesmens song tests with
a machine gun.

insisting that the penalties for
consuming liquor be the same as
for selling it? Why, in popular
opinion, is the seller a goat and
the drinker a rather bright chap?
Immediately it will be argued
that if it were possible to Getect
all violations Of proposed laws
against drinking, perhaps rs per
cent Of the adult population at
some time or other would be
under arrest. Also it will be said
that such laws as here suggested
could not be enforced because
for every seller of liquor there
must be many consumers, and it
would be manifestly impossible to
enforce statutes against the mere
consumer.
Which does not in the least
alter the unacceptable fact that if
the seller of liquor is guilty of a
misdemeanor or felony, then SO
is the consumer, morally, just as
guilty. Liquor sauce for the goose
really oughtn't to be wormwood
for the gander.
And what are you going to do
about it?
The first prize for the best So
luton of this problem is a pair
Of red tissue paper boots.

Sowing on JurieS

This is world Of curious no
tions when it comes to backing up
new theories. You turn from the
ardent enthusiasm of Mr.. and Mrs.
Haldeman-Julius in behalf of
companionate marriage to Harry
F. Sinclair, the oil magnate, who
calmly admits employing de-
tectives to shadow a jury which
was trying him for conspiracy to
defraud the United States, and
who claims he cannot see any
thing wrong in such a practice. He
did it, he says to prevent irTegu-
larities, which can only mean that
he placed greater faith in William
j. Burns than in his country.

Vices of OpuIence

This country is suffering from
the vices which go with opulence.
1t is charitable in a money sense.
but it is not charitable in the
sense of self-denial and self-sacri-
flee.
Wives and husbands are learn
ing how to give up less and less
for the sake Of permanent mar
riages. Not only that, but they
are learning how to live in child
lessness for the sake of physical
pleasure.
Much of our crime Is attribut-
able to this changed attitude.
One hopes that human intelIi-
gence will some day overcome the
obvious handicaps Of prosperity.

What Other Editors Think

and his pals simply places them
guilty in the minds of the people,
and if they ever hope to change
that feeling, which is almost uni
versal, they must go before the
judge and jury and prove them
selves innocent. Imagine a Cover
nor of great State that has the
charges piled up against him that
are placed against Ed jackson
and then have him use every trick
of the law to keep from going to
trial, and have the people think
him Innocent Won't work, Gov
ernor.
