THE LAST LAUGH

Manufacturers of shock absorbers
should do a whirlwind business In
Indiana while the Stephenson ex-
pose is under way. Truly there has
been many shocking things divulged
but before the name of the Hoosier
State is cleansed other facts OF a
more startling nature may be re-
vealed. 1t is a long lane without a
turning, and the old maxim, Truth
Will Out" will again prove itself. In
the meantime. Thomas Adams, the
vincennes publisher, may well ad-
wise that those who laugh last,
laugh best"

Hurrah for Indianai

If President Coolidge knew two
months ago what he knows now, he
would have probably selected Indi-
ana instead of South Dakota as the
most desirable place in which to
spend his vacation.
1t is unfortunate that The Indi-
annapolis Times could not have made
it's expose early enough for Hoosier
politicians to have used it as an in
vitation.
With such an argument, they
should have had little trouble in
convincing the President that In
diana was the most excellent State
for rest and recreation.

UNEASY INDIANA

Republican officials and politi-
clans of Indiana are uneasy and
are walking around on tip-toes. City
officials of indianapolis and high-up
State officials are the anxious walk
ers. This condition is brought
about by the recent conference be-
tween Prosecutor Remy and his as
sistants and D. c. Stephenson, for
mer Klan leader.
The conference was held in the
Indiana State prison, where Ste
phenson is serving a life sentence
The ex-Klan head wants out Of
prison. He wishes a new trial, a
pardon or parole. He gets neither.
He once remarked that if he ever
told his complete story the prison
would have to be enlarged to hold
the guilty Republican politicians.
His threats did not gain his liberty.
He is said to have talked turkey
at the recent Remy conference. He
named names as his associate law
violators. 1t is now believed that
the political Skullduggery he told at
the Remy conference will come to
light, regardless of the individuals
and parties it may effect. 1t ought
to come to light. The public has a
right to know it.
If Stoves strong box" hereto
fore hidden, is found, and discloses
the truth Of his story. the Indiana
political scandals will drive many
Republican politicians into disgrace
full oblivion. 1t is no wonder they
are walking on tiptoes and are I'M
easy. If Prosecutor Remy cleans
the Republican party in this State
of its scandalmongers. he will be
the big chief of his party.

TWO PATHS


There is probably no man who
has not at one time or another been
called on to choose between two
paths. one leading to immediate VIC
tory in politics or business through
means which he ought-and knows
he ought-to scorn to use, and the
other to possible defeat through
his unwillingness to employ such
means. The choice is often diff
cult-so weak is human nature. 1t
is natural for men to desire to win,
and we fear it is natural for most
men to resort to sharp practice in
their struggle for victory. The lat
ter is a human weakness, though
the former is not.
Success in any honorable under
taking is not a crime, and there
certainly is nothing wrong in it.
But success may be, as it often is,
bought at too high a price. A sui
lied and furnished victory ought to
be thought of as disgraceful-as it
is. 1t is disgraceful whether or not
it brings with it its. penalty. which
it sometimes does not do Whether
Henry Clay was in earnest when he
said, IT would rather be right than
be President" that surely is the way
he should have felt-the way all
0f har. mon chOtiId faaI
There is glory in failure, in the
willingness to fail, which in these
days of the glorification of success,
is, we fear, slightly appreciated.
Macbeth, to whom justice has per-
haps not been done, had the root
of the matter in him. OF him his
wife said:
thou wouldst be great:

Thou woulds't holly; woulds't not play

abhorrent means-in his case muir

found life to be only
"a tale
Told by an idiot, full Of sound and fury.
Signifying nothing.
1t is a terrible picture of the life
of every man who wins by foul
means, who puts victory as his OBJ
ject above everything else. Human
life is largely an affair Of these two
paths. Either may lead to success,
in the one case base and in the
other honorable, or one may lead
to base success and the other to
noble failure. The latter is the
choice almost every day offered to
every man. Success won by foul
means almost invariably exacts its
price. But whether it does or not,
it is itself foul thing, known to
be so in the Utmost heart of him
who wins it.

STATISTICS OF AMERICAN
CLIMATE


If you want climatic statistics for
any part of the United States, there
are several sources from which such
information can be obtained.
The best descriptive work Of a
general character relating to the cH-
mates of the country is 1.-THE Cl-
mates of the United States" by Prof.
r. Dec. Ward, of Harvard published
in 1925. Prof. A. j, Henry's eli
matology Of the United States"
issued as bulletin of the United
States Weather Bureau, has the dis
advantage Of being more than twen-
ty years old. but is an admirable
work and includes much information
not duplicated in Wards book
For detailed numerical statistics
one must turn to another Weather
Bureau publication entitled sum-
mary Of the Genealogical Data for
the United States, by Sections" For
the purposes of this work the coun-
try has been divided into l06 Sec
tions," and the data for each are
published in separate monograph.
There are some additional sections
containing statistics for Alaska and
the Hawaiian Islands. All these
sectional publications, assembled in
three large quarto volumes, consti-
tute Weather Bureau Bulletin w.
The climatic and topographic fea-
lures of each section are described
in page or more of text. This is
followed by records of rainfall for
each year from the beginning Of
observations at a large number -
stations in the section. Less detailcW
information is given concerning
temperature, winds, frost dates and
other elements of climate.
Splendid climatic charts OF the
country are a feature of the Atlas
Of American Agriculture" which the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has been publishing in in
stallments for some years. This work
is still far from completion.

THE INDIANA SCANDALS
Anderson BuIletinl

The Indiana political scandals
now rocking the State and entire
country are Republican, The lead
ers of that party made them. They
are solely responsible for them
They are the sinners. They cannot
escape the blame. They must suffer
for any legal penalties and the con-
demnation of public sentiment for
these scandals.
The truth is right and will pre-
vail. 1t will finally come out. The
truth aboat these scandals has been
so successfully covered up and sup
pressed that many people had des-
paired of it ever getting properly
before the public. But at last it is
coming. The people will know the
scandals and their makers and ben
eficiarieS.
The chief credit for this expose
belongs to Thomas Adams, Repub-
lican editor at Vincennes. He was
a widely trusted member OF that
party and belonged to its inner
circle Of owners, managers and
bosses. In that relation, he discov-
cred the scandals. His honest,
patriotic soul revolted. and he made
the Stephenson expose. BY Repub-
lican leaders he has been bounded,
read out Of his party. and his life
threatened. Adams could not be
scared nor brow-beaten. He was
and is determined to clean his party
house and is at it. The great ma
jority of his party are now uphold
ing him. They want a real house
cleaning.
The Stephenson-Adams charges
will not down. Public sentiment IS
intense in its demands for all the
truth. Mr.. Adams demands an i'm
mediate special session of the legis-
lature to hear and investigate the
scandals. He claims that the evil
dence is so conclusive that i'm
peachments of high state officials
would result. The whole Stephenson
scandals and all the participants
should be uncovered at once. The
end Of the scandals will not come
until this is done and the guilty
punished. The Republican house
must be cleaned. The air must be
cleared. The fair name Of the State
demands and is entitled to freedom
from these scandals brought on it
by Republican politicians.
The press of the State is practic-
ally unanimous in this demand. 1t
wants State officials and Republi-
can political leaders to clear their
skirts or get out of office and lead
ership Immediately. There is no
other honest, decent course open to
them. They have disgraced Indiana
and their party. 1t will take Indi-
ana a quarter Of a century to live
down the injury these Republican
scandal makers have done.

PUNSTERS IN ORDER

Lebanon Reporter)
Governor Ed jackson, frequently
mentioned in disclosures made by
the former Khan dragon, was on an
evangelistic trip over the weekend.
Sunday morning the Governor
preached at the Christian Church in
Ossawatomie, Kan, using for his
text, What doth it profit?" In
the evening he filled the pulpit at
the Ossawatomie Methodist Church,
and following his sermon the choir
sang at Must Be Told" In light
of the present political scandal in
Indiana the punsters can have a
great time hooking up the Gov

Jewish Excitement

Louis Marshall shows good sense
in warning the Jews not to get so
excited over Henry Ford's apology.
The childish manner in which
some of them want to g'orify him
for merely correcting an inexcusable
blunder is tactless to say the least.
1t is worst than tactless when &C
companied by hints as to what Mr.
Ford might do to help the Jews.

Speaking of horses. it is a shame
that President Coolidge was not on
one when he posed for the movies as
a cowboy, preferably the electric
one on which he has been ac-
customed to take exercise.
That might have added the artistic
touch of which so many people seem
to feel lack in the picture.

Who Rode the Horse?

Having taken days to think the
matter over, Governor Jackson of
Indiana concludes that he is being
blackmailed and remembers that the
$4,000 check he received from D. C.
Stephenson was not "for campaign
purposes" but "for very valuable
saddle horse"
This raises the question as to who
rode the horse.

What is the legend concerning
the Narcissus?
Narcissus was a seenly youth who
won the love of Echo, but did not
love her in return. In despair, she
faded to a voice, that can still be
heard calling sadly in waste places.
But the youth had mis- punishment:
having caught sight of his own re-
Election in spring. he was lured
back to lie on its brink for hours,
admiring the face he saw there. He
would not eat or sleep for love Of his
own image and worshipped so
ardently that he died of sheer weak
ness, or he may have fallen into the
spring and drowned. When the
nymphs came to remove the body
to the funeral pyre, they found no
corpse, but in its stead the white
flower we call narcissus.
