Men-Not Parties

The main reason why there is much discussion
of in this years presidential campaign and little
talk Of principles parties is that there isn't enough
difference between principles enforced by the two old
parties to stir up real difference of opinion
Woodrow Wilson tried to put the party of JefTer-
son and jackson back its Democratic feet, but it
wandered off after false gods when it passed the Vol
stead act over his veto and accepted the political
leadership of the Republican Anti-Saloon League
Since that time the little group Of Ohio Republicans
who created and built up the league have acted as
a holding company for both old parties.
While apparently losing its grip gradually, the
Ant-Saloon League still is powerful enough through
its influence on the Protestant evangelical churches
to brighten both old parties into submission this year
So there is no prospect that either OF the parties
will take any kind of bold stand against prohibi-
ton. Certainly of the Republicans who has ans
chance Of being nominated for President will take
such stand, and even Governor Al Smith and Sen
ator Jim Reed are singing low on the eighteenth
amendment.
Tacit understanding has developed that both
parties will puSSyfoot prohibition this year. and
about the best anybody do is to get back Of the
strongest man. without regard to the party tag he
happens to wear.
The politicians in both parties are mortaly afraid
of the Anti-Saloon League and its following So the
only thing left to do is to from the mess the
best we can in the way Of candidates Instead of
weak candidates, the situation demands strong men
of the cabre of Hoover and Smith, who will have
the courage to tackle prohibition and other problems
with strong hand when public sentiment develops
to the point where it will demand change.

Schemes to make war legally impossible have
lowered since 1918 like dandelions on subTbanltes
lawn If laid end to end (which is exactly what has
happened to all of them to date, they would reach
from here to Armageddon, or beyond.
The latest is suggestion from His EXcellency
Frts Holm of Denmark His scheme provides that,
in case of war, the president or premier, together
with all of his immediate male relatives, the entire
cabinet all members CT Congress who voted for war
and all bishops and preates of the nations churches,
be at once conScrpted privateS to serve for the
duration of the war in the infantry shock troops.
Holm believes all possibility of will be for
ever averted by every nation that adopts TINS PLAN
Maybe he's right Certainly his proposal is dras-
tic enough. 1t might we'll prove an ehectual curb
on the hreeating proclvities of some dime-a-dozen
statesmen.
Yet it shares the defects of all other anti-war
schemes in that it attacks the whole problem wrong
end to-
Despite all our talk about the Vaccinations OF
international bankers, secret diplomacy, and the
like, the roots of lie far down in the heart of
the average man. Trying to root war out by legisa-
ton from above is like trying to lift yourself by your
bootSraps 1t will furnish lot of exercise but moth
ing more.
For the simple and regrettable fact is man has
not yet grown into a thoroughly peaceful animal.
We are still few thousand miles removed from the
spiritual heights Of the Sermon on the Mount
flag, futtering in the sunlight, can still sway
our emotions so powerfully that and cool
judgement are forgotten. A few taps on drum,
a few sharp notes on buge, are still more potent
than all the cautioning lectures in the world
we are iona OF taking apOuJ now Sucn ana Sucn
a nation lied into war" Such talk is ordinarily
so much agar-agar. The common people of the world
you and and the English and the Germans and
the French and all the rest-sti think in terms of
war
We accept war natural and proper means of
settling dispute. So long we do we cannot COM
plain if we get into one every SO often.
War must be abolished some day. But its aboli-
ton is not much a matter for laws and
treaties to effect, influential such things may
casionlly be.
The common must decide in his own heart,
that he wants no more ever again He must
profoundly change his entire spiritual and mental
attitude
When that happens, the danger of war will be
gone forever Until it does will continue to lie
just below the horizon, smoulderng and menacng.

The Lesson of the Los Angeles

Did you notice that nobody got very excited over
the Los Angeles recent voyage from New Jersey to
Panama and back again?
There's reason. Had it been undertaken by an
airplane there would have been much more interest
Why? Because it would have been more of gamble
Nobody seriously doubted that the big dirgible
would be able to do the job, whereas the chances
of an arplane falling into the sea with all on
board were more than even.
There is lesson in this for Congress. In many
ways and for many purposes arpaneS have it all over
dirigibes. But when it comes to long distance
flights, particularly water the dirigbles have it
over the planes.
In crisis, even arms, ammunition, and men could
be transported to Panama, Hawaii and probably to
the Philippines, by large drigibles. while in peace
time their mail, express and passenger possibilities
are enormous.
Congress should act to make possible the two giant
dirigibeS authorized years ago, but which are still
hanging fire in Washington. Britain is leaving us
far behind in this t.pe Of craft.

Justice to War Veterans

In all justice to the vast majority of vet
Grams of the World War who returned from
fields of battle abroad to become decent law
abiding citizens once more, it seems that the
time is here to call a halt on citing war service
as extenuation for crime
In Lake County Jail at Crown Point, George
Chisholm, confessed slayer of his two sons, in
a particularly grewsome and fendsh manner,
is preparing defense based partly on his
World War record, with insanity as bolster
ing plea.
An honorable discharge from the United
States or any other army and citations for
bravery in action should not be considered in
the light Of permits to engage in crime, despite
the fact that scores of men caught in offenses
against the law so have sought to use them.
No true soldier would fall back on his war
record for such purpose. In ninety-ive cases
in hundred, it is the malingerer, the Stacker,
the coward who does SO. In the other cases
wounds and shock so may have injured and
warped the mentality of the victim that he does
turn criminal.
There should be distinction made in these
cases. and it is time that consideration be given
to this serious matter.
The soldering, squalling, snivelling senti-
mentalists who lionize criminals with greater
fervor because they served overseas rarely, if
ever, investigate the extent or the merit of this
service. Enough it is to them that the criminal
once wore uniform, whether with disgrace to
that uniform or not.
Indianapolis, all Indiana, and the nation
were stunned by the enormity of the Hickman
crime. There seems to be only mild interest in a
far more fiendish crime by man held prisoner
within this State, only few hundred miles
from here.
Justice undoubtedly will be meted out to this
man for his brutal deed. He has admitted that
he drowned his two sons because of ''love" for
a woman who complained bitterly of the fact
that he had these two sons.
Now that he is called to pay for his crime,
he suddenly discovers, ten years after, that he
has war record, that he is suffering from shell
shock which may have been responsible for the
mental state which prompted him to commit
double murder, and he brings this forward
an extenuating circumstance.
The time is here to halt miscarriages Of
justice on war record pleas.
