MR.. INSULTS RELUCTANCE

What is it about that $4,000, contributed by
Samuel insult of Chicago to the Illinois campaign,
that inspires so sudden reluctance to talk? Jail
threatens yet Mr.. insult says no, he will not say
who got the money.
Mr. insult has already confessed to much bigger
sums. He gave $125,000 to the Smith fund. He did
not hesitate to tell that he had handed this money
to the who at the head of the public service
commission which supposed to regulate Mr..
Insults public service companies. He owns to con-
tributions of nonpartsan or bipartisan character.
Wherever there political prospect, he financed
it. But this $40 900 in cash, not checks. 1t was
handed out in his office. To whom, and for what?
That's where the confession stops.
Mr.. insults lawyer knows the United States SUI
preme Court has just handed down unanimous
decision unfolding the Senate committees right to
compel evidence by any method known to our jul
dicial system. This that the wealthy Mr.. In
sull may be sent to Jail and kept there until he is
willing to talk.
Curiosity is certainly whetted by Mr. insults
strange and sudden reluctance 1t has been suggest
ed that perhaps part of the $4,000 went to some of
the powerful gangsters and gunner who play so i'm
portant part in Chicago civic affairs and that Mr..
insult does not want to embarrass any definite
wielder of the blackjack. 1t is comfortable
be friends with people like that
There must be some why insult is so
squeamsh about his small change.

LANDING MARINES IN CHINA

Saturday American marines will parade
through the streets of Shanghai. This is ordered
so it is explained, to give the marines chance to
stretch their legs after their long period aboard ship
1t is not intended as "show of force" to impress
the Chinese, it is further explained Every American
with the best interests of his country at heart
will hope there is other purpose behind this pa
rade than exercise for the young soldiers. Few can
forget however, the innocent face that was put on
the first landing Of marines in Nicaragua
1t has been ten days since the House adopted
the Porter resolution requesting the President to
open negotiations with China for new treaties that
will grant the Chinese complete control of their own
tariffs Since then both the Pekin and the Canton
governments have formally declared their indorse-
ment of the proposal. Our State Department, how
ever, is holding off, apparently waiting until the
Chinese get through fighting among themselves
This may mean long wait and it may mean dis
aster to Americans in China in the meantime
Since the present tariff treaties with China are
indefensibe on any moral grounds, why should we
stand technical diplomatic difficulties in getting
rid of them?
more useful parade, perhaps, than that seized
uled for Saturday by the marines, would be one
man procession by the United States diplomatic
representative in Canton to the Cantonese foreign
office and similar one-man march by our repre-.
sentative in Pekin to the Pekn foreign office Either
that or an invitational parade to State Depart
ment by the minister who represents both Chinese
governments in Washington. The purpose, in either
case, would be the announcement that the United
States is prepared to open the desired negotiations
for treaties that will treat China as sovereign in
dependent country.
We intend to do this eventually. Why not now.

RATHER PERSISTENT

The machine never quits. Whenever it meets
rebuff, it merely waits it's time and tries again.
Therein is the difference between the, bosses and
the leader Of the people, who accept verdicts and
quit.
Take the case of the present corporation counsel
of Indianapolis Schuyler Haas who is very dear to
the political machine and who wants more money.
He is the successor to Alvah Rucker, who was
removed from the place very shortly after he
brought suit against Mayor Duvall and other
county treasurers for return of Barrett law in
terest.
Haas is also the district chairman Of the Re-
publican party and an important cog in the Repub-
can State machine.
That may be the reason why Indianapolis ought
to pay him more money than it did to Rucker, who
ready to fight for public interest.
Early in the session appeal was made to the
Legislature fora raise of salary.
The House Of Representatives, after looking over
the situation decided that the demand was unjusti-
fed and that to grant it would be an imposition upon
the taxpayers.
Did that stop the machine?
There is another pending which has
merit THE third assistant city attorney is paid a
salary of SIPS month. The work is worth more
if it is worth anything. 1t is proposed to pay $500
a month, little enough for the legal work he is
compelled to do
Then the machine saw it's chance. 1t tries again
to get more money for the district chairman who
holds the city job by amending this meritorous
measure and thus threatening to prevent merited
act unless the House reversed its former decision.
If the people persistent as the BOSSES
they could win.

Gales is a hard man for Ameri-

Phil Simms, the foreign CORE
spondent for this paper, is now writ

Simms is not only experienced in
such matters, but, better than that,
he has the happy faculty Of convey
ing ideas and impressions without
coloring them to suit his own fancy.
If he tells you Gales said such or
such a thing, you can be sure that
it is exactly what Gales said, and
he won't lead you off the right scent
by throwing in a lot Of his own
guesses and surmises.
Too many interviewers are so
anxious for the reader to see and
remember them that they constantly
stand between him and the man they
are supposed to have interviewed.
Phil Simms is not that kind. He

SEE THE GOVERNOR

Governor Jackson is the last and final hope of
those citizens who do not believe that the Legisla
ture should protect bad government.
Both houses have passed amendments to the city
manager law under which every mayor now in Office
is protected against the peoples wishes and desires
for the length Of his elected term.
The measure is the product of the political ma
chimes of Indianapolis and Evansville and might well
carry the title "a bill to prevent the people of Ind
annapolis from adopting the city manager form of
government while Mayors Duvall and Males are in
Office"
The political machines have been adroit and
powerful enough line up votes in both houses for
this measure.
Down in Evansville the people of that city,
headed by college president and backed by bust
ness professional and civic leaders, have organized
to secure election for the city manager form of
government.
In this city. committee of men representing
the leadership of the citys activities of every kind
Industrial, business and professional is working on
a similar plan.
Both cities have learned to their cost the heavy
< burden placed upon them by a political government
There is little question but that the people would
vote by tremendous majorities for this change to
business and non-political government if given the
chance to vote and their votes were counted
Only the political machines which things
for their own profit and advantage and with no re-
gard for the growth and prosperity of the city want
this measure
Governor Jackson can stop this infamy if he
chooses.
1t is true that the men most interested in the
welfare of this city because of their devotion It's
interests have permitted the politicians to get away
with this thing while they we're idle.
They are busy men, engaged in useful work
They have had time to stand guard over the
legislators and keep them from the many forms
of seduction in which the politicians are expert.
But it is not too late.
There is still time to march upon the Governors
Office and demand that he give the cities a chance
to rule themselves
There is injustice in the matter. When
Duval and Males elected, they understood that
the people could choose this form of government.
That was the law. They accepted Office under the
implied contract to permit this change.

civic organizations and churches. He has been ac-
cepted as chief of the State.

With the entire world prepared to
honor the memory Of Beethoven
during the week of March 20, it is
most proper that the Columbia
Photograph Company plans to is
sue during that week twenty-five
new Beethoven Masterworks.
Nearly all of the great concert
artists, both vocal and instrumental,
this month are including a group of
Beethoven numbers on their pro-
grams.
A representative of the Columbia
Photograph Company has called
upon me and has given me the fol-
lowing statement regarding Bee
thoven week:
For the Beethoven week the
Columbia Photograph Company is
issuing twenty-five new Beethoven
Masterworks, each completely re-
corded by artists of international rep
utation. The orchestra conductors
include Felix Weingartner, Bruno
Walter, Willem Mengelberg, Henry
y. Wood, Thomas Beecham and
George Henschel.N The chamber
music is recorded by the I'ener
String Quartet, the London String
Quartet, Felix Salmond and w. H.
Squire. The sonatas are played by
such eminent soloists as Ignatz
Friedman, w. H. Squire and VIII
liam Murdoch. With this new col
&c OF ~lre
our Centennial Edition will cover all
the symphonies, the most important
quartets and the most popular
sonatas.
This, you will. readily see, is
great step forward in the history of
the monograph. So important Is
this step toward the broader. under
standing of the masterworks of
music that this effort of the Column
bia Photograph Company has met
with the approval Of a group of dis
tinguished men and women who ale
leaders in art, industry and civic
life.
1.-THE national advisory body for
Beethoven week, formed by the Co.
lumbia Photograph Company, has
as its chairman Mr.. George East
man of Rochester. N. Y, and in
cludes nearly $50 college presidents,
school officials, patrons of music,
artists and leaders of public opinion.
First of all, the Columbia Pho
nograph Company has sent out at
its own expense specially qualified
representatives to carry the message
of Beethoven into the community.
These men are organizing local pro-
grams and tributes to Beethoven,
with the help Of the schools,
churches. photograph societies, mu-
steal clubs and civic organizations.
These groups will get together in
a community expression honoring
Beethoven.
