THE CASE AGAINST COOPER

Congressman La Guardia, in his effort to obtain
the impeachment of Federal Judge Frank Cooper, is

Minnesota attempted the impeachment of Attorney
General Harry M. Daugherty. The committee on that

Editor of The Times:
Thanks for request for a personal
opinion on the pending measure be-
fore our General Assembly providing
for Luxury Tax on Cigarettes and
Tobacco. We already have such
tax by the Federal Government and
in the recent Government report it
is stated that S,OOo,O 900 more col
Iected last year on cigarettes alone
than in any previous year. This was
attributed to smoking by women and
girls who are rapidly learning to use
the flag" We realize that State
budgets must be met by taxation.
And elso If we think at all we know
that tangible property is already
taxed to the point of confiscation and
the proposition for a State tax on
incomes was defeated at last general
election. Now, shall we continue to
tax necessities or let needless luxur-
les bear their share of the burden?
The Farm Bureau has studied this
question thoroughly and they know
that the corn and beef farmer bears
more than his share of the burden,
while the Burley tobacco planter
has grown rich. We certainly object
to that part of the pending bill which
proposes to use the taxes derived
from tobacco for the school fund.
We want the bill amended to use
the fund for the upkeep and support
Of the delinquents who are wards OF
the State" for just as increase the
tobacco habit we multiply the num-,
Der of delinquents to be supported
by the State. Make the tax heavy
enough to take care of part of the
damage done by this most deadly
narcotic.
The fires OF unknown origin are
largely cigarette fires; insurance has
become so high that few farmers can
afford protection. Amend this bill
so as to prohibit smoking in all
places where food is kept or served,
and let us stop poisoning food served
to the public. Nicotine Is the best
germacide known to science. You
can kill a parasite with nicotine
which can not be killed with arsenic.
Then let us boost the legitimate use
Of tobacco and strengthen the law
forbidding its sale to children.
Respectfully,
ELIZABETH T. STANLEY.

WAS HE FOOLED?

Died RICH, was the note left by desert pros

Some call it a tragedy of the desert and may pity

Others, perhaps, wiser, will envy him.
TO him the genuineness of the gold meant moth

value and he was taking none Of it with him.
He died as rich Rockefeller and as Door as a

That scandal so shocked the Nation that enough
Republican Senators protested and prevented this
protege of insult from entering the Senate
That committee came to Indiana, but it did not
finish it's work If it were continued it might re-
turn and if it it might possibly be successful
here as it was in other States, and discover what
forces and influences gave to the Indiana Senators
their small margins of votes. That might be en-

the details of their campaign.
Robinson may be excused for deliberately mis-
representing the entrance of the Reed committee
into Indiana. He said that Reed came to defeat the
Republican candidates. Robinson knows that Reed
came only when Clyde Walb chairman of the Re-
publican party openly charged that international
bankers had money in every precinct to defeat the
Republican party and that when Reed left, Walb
thoroughly dissredited and proved most
arrogant fakir.
No wonder Robinson would go to any length to
keep Reed out of Indiana. There are still many
skeletons in the closet. and Reed has considerable
skill in rafting their corrupt bones.

A DEFENSE OF DEARTH

From newspaper in the home of Judge Car
ence W Dearth Of Muncie comes what may be re-
garded as the inspired defense of that Official or
perhaps the suggested apology for his action in
selling thirtyeight newsboys, con1scating their
newspapers and listing them at least semi-crim-
inals.
In the past this newspaper has remained silent
when the judge has been engaged in the pleasing
pastime of sending editors to jail for contempt of
the court over which he presides.
1t has on such occasions defended his actions
and his decisions SO that its utterances this oc
CASTOR may be property viewed as friendly COM
ment"
There is no law, says this newspaper under
which judge may seize newspapers arbitrarily and
coniscate them without the formality of
judicial hearing or the opportunity for day in
court. a
"He acted on the spur of the moment and with
out realizing the full consequences of his action"
is the generous explanation which possibly the good
people of Muncie may accept. Not a very high
recommendation for judicial temperament, but per-
haps the kindest apology for the most brutal attack
guaranteed rights that any Judge in any State,
including Indiana if it still be State, has ever
made.
What was it that he did not realize?
Did he not realize that he was tearing the Con
Stitution Of Indiana into shreds and making it less
potent and less protective than the babbling of an
idiot in his padded cell?
Did he not realize that he was taking property
without due process of law and implanting in the
hearts of these boys such hatred for authority, such
rebellion against all law that probably never again
will they have respect for any court?
Did he not realize that he the first judge
since the days of Charles the First and his Star
Chamber to forcibly suppress without trial, with
out warrant and without written charge news
paper or other publication?
Or was the consequence he did not expect and
could not forsee the fact that The Indianapolis Times
still believes in the Constitution still believes in
freedom of the press and still has faith in Indiana
and in its courage and that The Times would de-
mand impeachment of any judge who either on the
spur of the moment with calm and cool delibera-
ton attacks this fundamental right?
The Times submits that the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights, the freedom of the press and the
right of property, even of newsboys' property,
too sacred and too precious to be left in the
custodianship of any judge who loses his head and
acts SO hastily. 49,
And once again, The, Times demands in the
name of Indiana and of its libertyloving citizens
that the Legislature impeach this Judge and let his
fate forever be warning to other judges, that In
diana will tolerate no Mussolini in judicial garb.

ing no one can tell which one II will
be. These are the codes OF the Rae

the two follows:
The Racquet Club counts 20 for

80 for Major tricks Spades and

points being the game. The Knicker'
booker Whist Club uses the present
Bridge values OF 6. z. 8, Q, 10 for
the various suits and retains the
Bridge 30 for the game. There is no
difference between the two counts as
to the number of tricks required to
make game in any suit. but the Rae.
quet Club count runs to higher
figures.
There Is no difference between Ia
two codes i'm the honor values, TIL

making contract when doubled, or
for making extra tricks, doubled or
undoubled. There is a slight differ
ence in the penalty for a defeated
contract when doubled. The Rae
quet Club count allows when invul-
nerable, 100 per trick for the FIRST
four tricks, 200 for the fifth trick,
and 400 for each subsequent trick
il vulnerable these penalties are
doubled. The Knickerbocker count
allows when invulnerable. 100 per
trick for the first three tricks, 200
for the fourth and 400 for each sub
sequent trick; II vulnerable these
penalties are doubled. The differ
ence is that the Knickerbocker
reaches its severe penalty one trick
sooner.
For Revoke Penalties, both counts
allow two tricks for the first revoke
and 100 points in the honor column
for each subsequent revoke in the
same suit; but tho Racquet Club
count provides that IL a subsequent
revoke be another suit, it shall count
two tricks, while for any revoke
after the first, the Knickerbocker
count allows 100 points.

Day and Aileen Dance Their Way Into
Popular Favor on the New Bill at Palace

Although they were delayed a
short while in reaching our town,
Day and Aileen, at the Palace the
last half, show plenty OF reasons
why they were worth waiting for.
Aileen and Day are a dancing team
that have about all that is needed
to recommend them in their line of
artistry. for they are artists.
The woman is small and graceful
and in the hands of her partner
seems to move through their dances
with no effort whatever. Day in
contrast to his partner is strong,
well built man and when the two
Of them are together in dance
everything moves as it should. Only
with a contrasting pair like this
can the ease with which they dance
be duplicated.
In their act is also present young
woman who does we'll by several
song numbers. A trio OF women's
voices is also featured in this
Offering.
Our impressions OF the best parts
of this act, which Is part of unit
show playing the Palace. were the
SpanishNnumber in which the wom-
an soloist sang the melody while a
chorus of girls danced and which
ended with a dance offering by Day
and Aileen and the final dance num-
Der with Day and Aleen' in an in
terpretive dance before a large
Buddha.
A quartet of pianos Americas
Premier Piano Ensemble" is another
feature offering of this bill. We do
think, however, that this part of
the show could stand more piano
music and less of the other things.
The four women are fine in the num-
bers they offer. One of these women
possesses a pleasing voice for the
ballad type of song.
In Gibson and Price the man had
a hard time getting started as his
was the &C. to open the show, but
after a To- of work his Juggling
tricks and. comedy mannerisms got
over and produced some good fun.
Elkins, Fay and Elkins are three
men who are all right when singing
harmony, but who are a little lame
in their comedy. Liked their song
numbers.
Professor Thursby offers a
comedy act which we did not think
so very funny.

JUDICIAL TYRANNY
BOYD GuRLEY, Editor.

All that stands between the Individual and
tyranny is document called the Constitution of the
United States.
In the bill of rights is written all the liberty and
freedom which the common man gained by centuries
of bloodshed and battle, striving and sacrifice,
heroism and hardship.
Freedom of the press came to the world only
a century and half ago when the immortal Jeffer-
son wrote it as an amendment to the original Con-
stitution and made it the foundation stone of
free Government.
1t was the answer of enlightenment to enforced
tyrannies.
Tyrants in every age in every nation and in al
most every State have from time to time tried to
destroy the free press means of maintaining
an uncurbed power the destinies and lives of
others. Sometimes this attack has been subtle and
concealed 1t has taken the form Of threats; often
tyranny has masked its purpose behind pre-
tense of morality.
1t remained for Judge Clarence w. Dearth, the
Mussoni of Munce, to make the first experiment
in these United States in actually suppressing
newspaper by forcibly seizng issue from its
press herding thirty-eight newsboys into his
courtroom, browbeating them into obedience to an
Illegal and unwarranted edct and confiscating the
papers which were their property or in which they
had an interest
1t remained for this judge to do in Indiana what
Mussolini did in Italy and what Lenine did in Russia.
It remained for this judge to make the Constitu-
ton of the United States and the Constitution of
the State of Indiana a ribald jest, mockery con-
temptible and meaningless.
Tyranny, not justice, ruled that Muncie court
room when these newsboys were stripped of their
property and treated as criminals because they had
engaged in legal occupation which offended the
and not the judge
What right has Indiana to lay claim to being a
part of this land of liberty if the Legislature adj
journs and leaves upon the bench a man who has
thus dared to lay violent hands upon the bill of
rights?
