terial well-being of the people, and
outlined that great reconstruction
which Augustus and Trajan were to
complete. Not even Napoleon did as
much in so short a time.
Caesar had a very passion for CO.
ordination, and hated chaos as the
basic evil in human life.
His was the highest type of
genius; boundless energy operating
in perfect unity to noble ends. Con-
centration was the essence of his
power; seldom has a brain been able
to work more intensely.
Clearness Of vision united with
quickness of decision to make his
mind one of the most astounding in
struments that any civilization has
ever produced.
But though the spirit was willing
to work, the flesh was weak.
THE attacks of epilepsy" says
Ferrero, were increasing in fire.
quency and violence; body and soul
were almost worn out. The striking
bust of him in the Louvre gives a
wonderful representation of the last
expiring effort of his prodigious vi
tally; the brow is furrowed with
huge wrinkles; the lean face bears
marks of intense suffering, and the
expression is that of a man utterly
exhausted"
1t was epilepsy that kept him
seated once when the Senate adj
dressed him; they were incensed at
the seeming insult; and he, per-
ceiving the difficulty into which his
developing disease had led him, and
yet unwilling to confess the cause,
went home weary of life, saying
Jam salts Wiki Il have lived
enough"
And yet why did he apparently
tolerate the invitation to become
king? Antony was his intimate
friend; he would hardly have. offered
the crown to Caesar so repeatedly
if he had reason to believe that the
offer would be offensive.

MYTH a splendid carelessnesS
w Caesar offered amnesty to al
his foes, even to Cassius and BrutuS
and Cicero, who had sided against
him again and again. Cicero was
affected by this remarkable gener-
oSity, and lavished his finest elo-
quence in praise of Caesar:
mo conqueror in a civil war
has ever been so mild as you have
been With sorrow I have
heard you say that you have lived
long enough. For nature it may
be that you have, and for glory.
But for your country you have not.
Put away, I beseech you, this con-
tempt of death. Be not wise at
our expense. Your work is
unfinished; the foundations are
hardly laid; it remains for you to
rebuild the Constitution. Live
till this is done; live till you see
your country tranquil and at
peace. Then, when your last debt
is paid, when you have filled the
measure OF your existence 10 over
flowing, say, If you will, that you
have had enough of life"
1t is possible that this subservient
speech was an attempt to put Caesar
off his guard. For even as Cicero
polished his laudatory phrases, his
closest friends were forming con-
spiracy, within the Senate and
without, to overthrow the man who
had forgiven them so intolerably.
The most active of the conspira-
tors was Cassius, of lean and hun
CRY look; and through his f1attery
Brutus, son of Servilia, was per-
suaded to- join the plot.
Caesar had given special orders
at the Battle of Pharaslus that
Brutus should be spared; recently he
had appointed him praetor and gov
ernor of Macedonia. But Brutus
was still uncontent; and when he
learned that Caesar had made Au-
gustus his heir, he felt himself juSti-
fed in betraying the man who had
so persistently befriended him, and
who perhaps was his father.

IRenuhlicanl

Edwin F. KitSelman of Muncie,
Ind, who has been elected chair
man of the Republican State COM
mittee, assumes a task that may
be moee difficult than he and
many others suspect. He becomes
directing head of Republican &C
tivities in Indiana at a time when
the Republican party of the
State has been brought into bad
odor by the actions of Republi-
can Office holders and Republican
leaders who were trusted and
found wanting. He, therefore is
confronted at the beginning of his
administration with a situation
which some would shirk and one
which will test his ability as an
organizer and as a leader.
Never has any Republican
chairman undertaken the duties
of the high and responsible posi-
ton under such a disagreeable
situation. The party has been
used for selfish purposes and has
been made a factional football
kicked about until it almost is de-
f1ated. Ridden by the Ku-KluX
Khan, with one Governor recently
out of prison and another to be
tried and a State chairman in
dicted, what party could be in
worse shape? If Mr.. Kitselman
can bring order and respect out
of the chaos and keep himself
from unpleasant entanglementS
he will be entitled to the high
est praise. We believe he can do
it if he has the courage; the
courage that requires him to rec
ognize the welfare of Indiana and
its people as paramount to the
success of the Republican party
and above all else. If he will real
ize that SIS Republican State
chairman the greatest service he
can give the Republican party in
Indiana us service to the people
he need have no worry about the
standing of the Republican party
in this great State.
We have had enough Of faction
alism, largely responsible for pres
ent conditions in the party in In
diana. We have had enough of
personal selfishness that has
placed the benefit of individuals
far above the welfare of the peo-
pie and the good of the party. We
have had enough of weaklings as
public officials. We have had

Foreign Affairs Expert

Hoover's strength rests largely on
the belief in his ability to deal with
foreign affairs. Since the World
War foreign affairs have played a
leading part in American politics.
There is a feeling that American
production has been tuned up to a
very high pitch and that the only
way to make room for it is to pre-
serve foreign trade.
What the American people want
more than anything else from their
next President is a foreign policy
that will preserve 1t.

To the Editor:
have read with amazement the
solution of the baseball situation in
Indianapolis offered by one of your
correspondents.
1t seems to me that this solution,
first offering us an up-to-date team
and plant and then ending up with
a mixed team in the ABC park
on Eighteenth ST., will not suit the
local fans. 1t reminds me of the
hunter who started out for bear and
came home with a squirrel.
indianapolis is bear" town and
should have bear" of team.
My suggestion would be for the
city officials to wake up and assist
MI. Perry in his commendable efforts
to locate a representative plant and
team here. He is not getting the
cooperation he deserves from them.
evidently they consider him an
enemy for disturbing their attention
from the fascinating game of put
ting the skidS under a clerk whose
only crime is being a Republican
and gumshoeing one in his place
whose only merit is being a Demo-
GRAFT
The city Of Terre Haute itself
built the ornate stadium gracing
that city and leases it to the team
at nominal rental. In that re-
spect Terre Haute is far in advance
of indianapolis.
The officials here should hasten to
rectify their mistake in denying Mr..
Perry's plea for park on E. Wash
ington ST., by resembling their action
on that site and allow him to go
ahead. The narrow minded resi-
dents of Jefferson and Tacoma SITS.
would find the stadium to be an
artistic and ornamental structure,
dignifying and improving the sur
rounding properSy and vast i'm
provement over the filling stations,
garages, junk shops and shacks
which now infest that neighborhood.
What the fans of Indianapolis
need is stadium, not in Beech
Grove, or Riverside, or Southport,
but one close in and convenient to
reach.
If this is done Indianapolis will
take it's rightful place on the base
ball map, and if the attendance of
the National League at Cincinnati
or TIE American League at st.
Louis does not revive, Indianapolis
may take the place of one of these
weak sisters. Then the fans need
not fear Thfee-I ball, but can en-
JOY ma ior league entertainment.
Every fan should boost for Mr..
Perry and the Indians and put In
dianapolis on the map.

To the Editor:
AS a constant reader of The Times
for many years, please let my voice
be heard through the columns of
your esteemed paper concerning
capital punishment.
1t is both unjust and unWise. Ma
lures laws, the only source to guide
us in the framing of written laws,
do not advocate the taking of life,
only in self-defense in a pursuit Of
the necesSaries of life, and it is
through an ignorance of this fact
that legislators enact the law CIV
ing man the so-called right to muir
der another, thus taking that which
he cannot give. Only God, the
creator IF life, possesses that right.
Two wrongs, a murder by the
murderer, and the murder of the
murderer, cannot make one right,
whether it deters others or not, and
society can more justly protect itself
by the incarceration of the murderer

BORAH SEES DANGER
IN NAMING COOLIDGE
Believes President Out of Race and
Favors Hoover as Nominee
on Early Ballot.
BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY. June ll.--For the
Republican national convention TO force
the nomination Of President Coolidge
would be highly dangerous. Senator
William r. Borah Of Idaho today told
his State delegation at his first con-
ference with them.
we should then be In position OF
selecting candidate who would with
draw, leaving the party to make cam
paign with q second choice" Borah said.
"As for President Coolidge, I am conf
dent he will not run and am inclined to
believe he viii ask that no further votes
be cast for him II any are cast on the
first ballot.
"Af / see IL, there are only two
men In this race, One Is probably In
IL without his coneent-~Presiden Cool
idge. The other Is Secretary Hoover. !"
Eorah told the delegation that II
there was any strategic advantage In
It's voting for him he was willing that
IL should do so. But he added that
he hoped his State would do nothing
10 impair any advantage II might have
by taking leading part In the Sc
lection of the presidential nominee.
The Senator Let IL be known that
he was willing 10 have the Idaho votes
go 10 Secretary Hoover on an early
ballot, even on the first II IL should
appear desirable 10 insure Idaho a
place In Hoover councils by this
method. No definite vote was taken
by tlf delegation on this question, and
further conferences will be held
