Will Leslie Make Amends?

Will Harry Leslie now apologize, not to
Frank Daley, but to the people of Indiana, and
explain just how he happened to make the
wild and reckless charge that Daley was
covering, negligent or worse, district attorney,
afraid to prosecute corrupt politicians until
Judge A. B. Anderson forced action9
The most charitable explanation of this at
tack is that Leslie has fallen into such bad
company around the fire marshal's Office that
he has become irresponsible and gulliible.
In view of the fact that Judge Anderson
whose statements will be accepted without
question by all citizens Of this State, declares
that the charge of Leslie is untrue, it is rather
imperative that Leslie do something to clear
himself.
1t is rot question Of veracity or of recol-
lection 1t is the bald charge of Leslie against
the dignifed and prompt disclaimer Of Fed
eral judge whose promotion to higher bench
in the Federal courts meant real loss to law
and order in this State.
Surely Leslie cannot wish or desire to carry
to the Governors Office, if by any misfortune
he should be elected, a record Of having
sIandered his opponent for office wilfully and
deliberately.
Yet there can be no other conclusion than
that the SANDER was as deliberate as it was
false if Leslie refrains from retraction now
that he knows that Judge Anderson very
definitely says that the statement was untrue.
Instead of being the protector of corrup-
tion as Leslie painted him. Frank Daley is
described by Judge Anderson as 'vigilant,
jealous and upright"
There are words that the people will do
well to remember when they vote for the next
Governor of this State.
1t will not do for Leslie to parade the State
and say that he does not believe in the statute
of limitations. The farce Of such utterances is
shown by the fact that jackson, almost as an
echo, again praises Leslie and again repeats
his Endorsement, given in the hour of nominal
ton, when COLLINS ran like deuces wild in
the Republican convention.
It will not do for Leslie to promise that he
will not pardon Stephenson, who controlled
the first Legislature of which Leslie was the
speaker.
How sure is he that there will be no pardon
for the former dragon before the next Gov
ernor is inaugurated?
The charge by Leslie and the statement of
Judge Anderson raise deeper question. It
is one Of fitness to hold the place Of Governor.
Self preservation, if not self respect should
prompt Leslie to add an apology or rejoinder.
Not even his bad advisers would suggest that
he question the veracity of Judge Anderson.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. IL
IN This is one New England city

Editor Times - The theory of
police authorities, that the second
man found dead after the Newman
Guy holdup east of Greenfield COM
mitted suicide is, I think, erroneous.
A more rational view is that when
the wounded bandit could go no
farther, his companion administered
the coup de grace" planted the
evidence of suicide, and thereby
made for himself a clean getaway,
for dead men tell no tales"
Had the wounded bandit been
found alive by the searching posse,
he would have given away the whole
bag of tricks. E. P. M.
Editor Times-To the people
who want to know if the Prohibit

wish to say that both State and

We secured more than the re-
quired signatures to get on the bal
lot. In the 1926 campaign in In
diana, the Republicans got 534,058
votes and fell off over 10000. The
Democrats got 473,32O votes and
fell off $4,000 votes. The Socialists
got 1885 votes and fell off over
1000 votes (stay at home), but the
Prohibition party gained 40 per
cent with no campaign funds-all
conscience voters.
Coolidge carried the State by a
majority of 210,SO0 and for several
reasons Hoover will carry the State
by an even larger majority. So the

The Penalty for Nonconformity

The Government, 1t now appears, is opposed to
granting citizenship to Nine. Rosika Schwimmer, the
Hungarian peace advocate because it fears her views
nay be adopted by others.
The Court of Appeals at Chicago ruled that Nine.
Schwimmer could not be barred from citizenship be-
cause she personally was unwilling to bear arms and
had said IT would not kill another person. even to
save my own life"
The Department of Justice i'll appealing the case to
the Supreme Court for the Department of Labor in
cludes this remarkable paragraph in its brief
Because of her sex and age there is, of course no
possibility that the respondent ever will be called upon
personally to bear arms in defense of this country;
but she believe in other people bearing arms
in defense of the country and she is writer, author
and propaganda by profession.
"She does not believe in organized government as
we understand it, because organized government can
not exist without military defense. If every cit-
zen believed as she does and acted as she WILL we
would have no Constitution and government"
We disagree with Nine. Schwimmer's ultra-pacifst
views. But we can not that they have any bear
ing whatever on her right to citizenship
Certainly we have not yet reached the state where
it is necessary for the Government to protect us
against the PHILOSOPHERS of extremists. The American
people are neither nit-witS milksops, and Nine.
Schwimmer is rated brilliant woman. If she has
anything to say, why not hear her?
Furthermore, we are indeed unfortunate if it is
necessary for person to agree with the dogmas of
the majority to be accepted as citizen. Many SEN
sble persons believe that the greatest incentive to
war is the belief in its nevtabity just expressed off,
cally by the labor department and the competitive
preparation for it as a result of that belief
1t is a fundamental of our theory Of government
that any person should free to thing he pleases
to seek peaceaby to persuade others to his views 1t
is regrettable that the Government should violate
this principle.

50-Centuy-0Id Crime

Five thousand years ago King
CheopS buried his mother. A short
time afterwards her coffin was re-
moved from the original tomb and
placed in vault at the bottom of
a 100-foot shaft. The shaft was
then sealed up with solid masonry.
A Harvard expedition has Just
burrowed its way down to the bot
tom of this shaft. The alabaster
chests and other objects were exact
ly the same as when placed there
fifty centuries ago.
But the coffin contained no body,
which leads DR.. George r. Reisner
to reconstruct a curious and APP
parently undetected crime.
He believes that the original tomb
was ri1ed by workmen employed to
seal it up, that they broke open
the coffin and broke up the mummy
in order to get the ornaments con-
cealed in the wrappings, that guards
discovered the sacrilege and re-
ported it to court authorities, that
those authorities being afraid to
tell King Cheops the truth, advised
him that a robbery had been at
tempted and that while they had
been successful in thwarting it, the
safest course was to place his moth
er IN a new and more secure tomb

Curing Criminals

The same intelligence which has
enabled us to develop organized
commerce and industry has taught
us the wisdom of honest dealing
You find bank cashiers and tellers
still embezzling, but you do not
find the bank doing it.
You find the corporation treas
urer running away with cash or Sc
curities, but not the corporation.
In all essentials, crime remains a
person matter That is why doc
tors, alienists and scientists have
come to regard it as a disease in
many instances.
1t has become common to hear of
cases where an apparently habitual
criminal was paroled to some Nphysi-
clan. One occurred in Staten Is
land last spring. Another was re-
ported from Baltimore on Thursday
In this latter case, a thyroid opera
ton was performed, and the physi-
clan in charge believes that a cure
has been effected.

Honesty in the Mass

Fashions change more than hui
man nature. We do not rifle tombs
these days chiefly because they
contain little worth ri1ing, but
where there is loot to be had there
you will find the thief.
The American Automobile Asso-
citation reports that a country wide
checkup warrants the conclusion
that the American people are los
ing no less than $2O,O0O00O annually
through the short measuring of
gasoline.
Responsible oil companies and
filling station owners are not to
blame. They appear as anxious as
the public to stop the dishonest
practice which seems to flourish
among helpers and pump attend
ants.
Such a condition, while showing
up age-old defects of human ma
ture, reveals how they are being
overcome by organized industry.
People are rather more honest in
the mass than individually. The
reason is that they watch each
other. Great corporations may
overcharge the public and earn I'M
reasonable profits, but they seldom
descend to common thievery. Very
few robberies and still fewer muir
ders can be traced to organized in
duStry or politics.
Whenever and wherever organi-
cation enters crime, it is purely of
a criminal character.

AIibi for Crooks

Ninety-eight per cent of all the
industrial accidents are avoidable,
we are told, but if they are avoided
it will be through efforts, activities
and arguments overlooked in this
campaign.
We are also told that the Ameri-
can people lose $20,000,0OO annually
through short measured gasoline.
That is something else which was
not made an issue.
In fact, when you come to think
it over, a good many of our per-
plexities, worries and bewildermengs
seem likely to continue, no matter
which party wins.
Some doubt, indeed, whether this
election will end corruption in Gov
eminent.
The idea of party responsibility
for theft, bribery, conspiracy to de-
fraud, malfeasance in office, mis-
appropriation of public funds and
other ordinary, everyday offenses,
is all right, except that it gives the
crooks a good alibi
What do the crooks care. if the
party is going to be held responsible
ana made to suffer for their of
Tense? If it is only a matter of
throwing an election and if they
are allowed to get away with the
loot, what can we hope to gain?
If man is a crook, he is Just as
disloyal to his party as to the gov
eminent. The idea of preventing
corruption in any other way except
arresting, convicting and punish
ing those guilty Of it, is absurd.

An Unequal Race

One of the most popular but improbable highway
sports of Americans is the attempt to beat railroad
trains to grade crossings.
It is an unequal race. On a recent Sunday sixteen
persons met death in the East in grade crossing acct
dents. Statistics compiled by the American Road
Builders Association for the main steam lines only,
that during the last ten years AT people have
been killed and 57625 seriously injured in grade cross
ing crashes
The association holds that the chief reason for this
astounding total of fatalities is the desire of the mo-
torist to beat the train to it, Support lent to this
conclusion by the fact that last year 238 persons were
killed by running automobiles headon into the sides
of moving trains.
1t is not possible to eliminate all the 100000 I'M
protected grade crossings to be found on the countrys
main lines alone The more dangerous ones and those
in congesed districts it is pointed out can be done
away with, but great number must still remain
marked only by warning signs and safety devices and
still open for the careless foohardy to endeavor TO
negotiate in advance of charging locomotives.
