The statute of limitations as a
law, may save Mr.. Jackson from
a trial in the courts of Indiana
but it cannot save him from his
trial in the court of public opin-
ion. 1t is a case of "The people
versus Edward Jackson" and the
people are the court, Judge, and
the jury, and the witnesses, and
they will be memorable in the
final verdict.
The people have given much to
this man. He has asked for favor
that carried with it public mon
eys, and the favor has been given.
Rarely has he been without a
place of some kind in the gift
of the people for the past quar-
ter Of century.
He has owed an ever growing
debt to the people of Indiana
debt that could only be paid in
fair and generous and efficient
service, the service Of a servant
of the whole people.
And then he asked to serve as
Governor of Indiana, Governor Of
all the people, to represent them
as their ambassador at the high
places of the nation, to direct the
destiny of their commonwealth
with dignity and with honor at
all times; to be an impartial gov
ernor for all the people--always.
And this favor also was given him.
NOW he owes to his constituents
his own vindication. If the law
relieves him of the necessity for
a trial ne should himself demand
his day in court that he may
prove to the people that he has
not betrayed them.

Some Still Are Heroes

One turns from such episodes to
the heroic behavior of our coast
guardsmen with relief.
In the midst of such rotten
ness and corruption it is consol-
ing to know that we still have men
who are willing to risk their lives
not for the sake of the pay there
is in it, but just because it is
part of the Job.
There is not as much bravery in
what Harry S. Sinclair did, or
what William j. Burns did, or
what william S. Ware did or what
Frank L. Smith did as there is In
the little finger Of any member Of
those life saving crews who
launched their boats Sunday night
and did what they could to save
the poor devils drowning in the
surf.

The Rules
1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, given number Of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at a time.
3. You must have a complete
word of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbrevia-
tons don't count.
4. The order of letters cannot be
changed.

Then there is William S. Ware,
who paid a couple of millions for
the senatorial nomination and
Frank L. Smith, who accepted
contributions from public utility
magnates, while he was a member
of the public utilities commission,
each of whom is prepared to in
form the Senate that they fail to
see anything wrong in such con-
duct.
The Senate will give them short
shrift not so much for the sake of
high moral convictions, but be-
cause a presidential campaign is
pending and neither party cares
to assume the responsibility of
indorsing political high-binders.
1t is fortunate for public de-
cency that the Pennsylvania and
Illinois primaries were debauched
last year. A year earlier, or a
year later, Smith and Ware might
have gotten away with it.

Race Deterioration

After all, its the grapple with
elemental nature, the struggle for
existence, the fight for self-preser-
walton that develops real char
acter.
When you get above that, when
you go where big boys brawl for
millions and where politicians
scrap for high places, you find a
higher technique perhaps, but you
miss a lot by way of common
honesty.
The greatest problem we face is
how to live in ease and luxury
without growing soft and crooked.

Let us say, IN order to have a
basis of argument, that the liquor
traffic in any form, except where
it pertains to the use of alcohol
for medicinal, sacramental and
industrial purposes, is wrong, just
as our National and State laws
say it is; then is not the user Of
any form of alcohol for beverage
purposes just as guilty, morally,
as the one who sells it?
1t is apparent that if nobody
bought liquor, nobody would sell
it and the bootlegging business
and all forms of unlawful traffic
in intoXicants would cease auto
matically for lack of market.
Well, then, why should not all
those who believe in prohibition
be perfectly honest with them
selves and with everybody else, by

Governor Jackson, George Coffin
and Robert I. Marsh were de-
feated in that Marion County
court yesterday, and when the
Judge said they must stand trial,
they at once sought other and
further means to evade it. The
three are accused Of attempting
to bride Ex- Governor McCray and
maintain they are innocent. If so,
why do they fight so Internally
hard to keep from a public trial
where the public may judge as to
their guilt or innocence. The

To the Editor:

L feel it to be obligatory, in de-
tense of the accounting profession.
as a whole, to voice the sentiment
OF this Office, in view of the al
legged irregularities of the j. F. Will
Bank and Elevator Realty Co.. a
subsidiary, as just published by the
press.
1t is indeed unfortunate, that
these things occur, and doubly so
when it is at the expense and dis
comfort of the community ana
those who can least afford such a
catastrophe, and who are inexperi-
enced in business affairs.
&c is not the purpose of this let
ter or the desire of the writer to
censtre anyone, but it is quite ap-
parent that mistakes do happen.
where the best intentions predom-
mate, in all lines of professional ef-
fort, and are denounced by the pub
lie as gross careleSsness or trickerv.
1t, therefore, behooves the account
ant, working either as an examiner
or in private practice, to guard
against such occurrences.
How the asset, and profit and loss
or surplus accounts of these institu-
tons could be juggled for four or
five years to cover up apparent de-
falcationS can not help but be criti-
cised by all those who read these
statements in the press, and while
these irregularities eventually came
to light, why is it necessary for
these institutions to go into insoly-
ency before a detection can be
made? Are our laws not stricr
enough or are they not enforcedP
Is it any wonder opponents of Can't
tai have so much to say to the de-
triment of our good state and coun. )
try?
1t is impossible, of course, for the
accountant to indict his client: bur
it is his duty as public servant to
so state the facts in the balance
sheet that any irregularities may be
detected before they cause disaster.
If the fundamental theory Of ac-
counting is applied in the simplest
kind of audit, it is imperative That
all changes in the surplus accounts
be examined, also the contents Of
the minute book, to ascertain if any
transaction has taken place which
would effect the financial condi-
ton of the firm under audit, and Il
so, the auditors certificate qualified
to set out the facts. If the manage
ment demands an unqualified BAL
ance sheet it should be the auditors
duty to refuse to certify it unless
the true financial position Of the
firm is stated.
1t, therefore, behooves the public.
and the press, to insist that regular
periodic audit of these institutions
be made by reputable accounting
firm.
Believing you, and the institu-
ton you represent, to be non
partisan and to support only THAI
which is for the betterment Of our
good city and State, and believing
the incident referred to demands
the courage of accountants to de-
fend their invaluable relation to thu
public, 1 have written this letter;
and you may use it IS you &c fit.

TIMES SUBSCRIBERS.
To the Editor:
I read in The Times a day or two
ago of a James D. Crooks, a sales
man, who volunteers to act as ex-
ecutioner>of Ruth Snyder and Hen
ry Judd Gray.
The man who thus volunteers is
in my opinion just as much a cold
blooded murderer as the two he
would like to kill, if not more so,
and that goes for the. warden or
sheriff who throws the switch or
pulls the trap, too.
I am opposed to capital punish
ment because I would not take q
human life legally or otherwise ex-
cept in self-defense and have no
right to hire some one to do a deed
that I am not willing to do myself.
1t would be bad ethics and worse
craftsmanship.
I have many other reasons, but
the one given, it seems to me, ought
to be sufficient for any honest per-
son. l.. L. HOPKINS.
To the Editor:
Capital punishment to my theory

murder a human being by execu-
