The planet changes its color ranging from a red

fiery the planet also seems to grow larger in the sky
At times it glows like fiery red lamp
To the ancients and even down through the Mid

were regarded with fear and foreboding.
In 1719 Mars shone with unusual intensity and
brilliance and result many people were worried.

The G.. o. P.'s Only Chance

It NAV be that the so-called leaders of the Re-
publican party don't want man like Hoover as
candidate for president. We don't know.
It may be that the rank file Republicans are
foolish in preferrng candidate with engineering

candidate, of the Harding type We don't know.
They may like convention that is manipulated
by political bosses They may like manipulated dead
locks and secret candidates. hand picked by bosses
and campaign contributors. We don't know
They may like the payment Of convention debts by
scandaIous deals like Tea Pot Done. Elks Hill, the
Veterans Bureau and the Alien Property Custodian

They may like poker games in the little Green
House on St. and the settlement of political obi

We don't know.
They may like Repubicanism as exemplihed by
Sinclair Daugherty Fall, DENLY, young Roosevelt, W.
j. Burns and Jess Smith. We don't know.
But we do know this-that the great mass of
citizens in this republic who qualify as Republicans
who don't make their living out of politics. but who
sincerely honest in their devotion to the political
principles of Hamilton Lincoln and the real Roose-
welt, want Clean honest government in the interest
of all the people of the United States.
And we know also that if there is in 1928, rep

the nomination of Lowden or a Dawes or any other
candidate picked to play the selfish game of big cam
paign contributors, Al Smith will be carried into the
White House by one of the most amazing majorties
in the history of American politics
The Republican answer to political corruption is
Hoover. The way to clean house by the Republican
party Is to nominate Hoover. The only chance Re-
publicans have to win is with Hoover He may not
beat Governor Al Smith. .but if Hoover can't beat

Experts Abb Ready

Take the Hickman case, for in
stance, in which one expert solemnly
proclaimed that pencil marks on the
body of a person afflicted wit a
certain type OF insanity would turn
red He said he tried the ex-
pertinent on Hickman and that they
did not do so, wherefore the young
man could not be afflicted with that
type Of insanity
Lawyers for the defense demanded
demonstration in open court.
Hickman stripped to his waist, the
expert drew a letter H" on his body
and contrary to his assertions and
expectations, the marks turned
vivid red.
The expert was bewildered, Of
course, but not to such an extent
that he was unable to find a
plausible explanation.

pose a censorship opinions expressed on the out
side Of envelopes at last has directly before the
courts The right to forbid matter which is "defama-
tory, obscene or scandalous" is not questioned.
The right to say, Visit our sunny Southland" Is
admitted. But the right to say, protest against
marine rule in Nicaragua is challenged by the
postal authorities and mail has been excluded be-
cause of these words stamped the envelope.
So the Postof1ce Department has been dragged
into court at the instance Of the American Civil

defense of the postal authorities, did not claim that

statute, but fell back general argument that
the words are part of scheme to destroy part of

Arthur Garfield Hays called attention to the fact
that many people including the chairman of the
Foreign Affairs committee of the United States Sen
ate have protested against marine rule in Nicaragua
and that the administration had promised to with
draw the marines as soon as practicable.

Later he made himself q home,
Of a room or two, with Lucrezia
Butt, and, in the intervals of her
infidelity, used her as a model for
his pictures of the Virgin. Lucrezia
had been a nun, vowed like Lippo
to chastity; the Pope recognizing
the mans genius, offered to liherate
them both from their VOWS and
marry them, but Lippo refused; the
reality sufficed him without the

him had it not been a sin.
And 50 he painted-above all the

though she had about as much

This Lucl ezia too became a Virgin

Law Dodging RuSeS

In the case Of George Remus, the
jury acquitted him of the murder
of his wife on the ground that he
was insane, though State experts
had pronounced him sane.
After his acquittal, State experts
pronounced him insane and he was
sent to an asylum.
Now he is trying to get out Of
the asylum on the ground that he
is sane, although he was glad
enough to be pronounced insane TO
escape the consequences OF his
crime.
Such antics may represent good
law and good science, but they do
not appeal to average folks rs rep-
reSenting common sense.

Twelve average men and women
sit in the jury box, listening to high
brow verbiage and trying to make
something out of it. Perhaps they
can. Perhaps they can absorb, as
simulate and assert the various
theories, speculations and hypo-
thetical questions that are hurled at
them in an endless stream of words.
Perhaps they will be able to tell
which set of experts represents true
science and which is throwing up
a smoke screen for hire. Perhaps
they can sift the result with exact
justice, separating truth from
hokum and arriving at a conclusion
which will be lust.

INSANITY as a legal defense for
Il murder does not solve the social
problem.
So far as society is concerned,
the insane murderer is more dan
gerous than any other kind because
he is more likely to repeat.
While it would be futile to punish
insane people, the necessity OF con-
filming them is obvious.
The idea that acquittai for
murder on the ground of insanity
should include freedom is pre-
posterous on the face Of il, but
that is what it is likely to include
and that is why insanity is pleaded
as a defense so often.

The Clean Up

Every one agrees that Indiana is due for
cleanup"
Three months ago. the demand very
general. 1t had the powerful support of the
indianapolis Star and the indianapolis News
in this city They, rather belatedly, but very
vociferousy, said that the disgrace Of Indiana
must be wiped out. They are not so sure now
The people are still for that redemption of
the State and this is especially true of the great
body of men and women who vote the Repub-
hcan ticket as a matter of principle and who be-
lieve that the ideals of Lincoln and Roosevelt
should be firmly defended.
But as the primaries approach, the same old
machine which produced those who disgraced
the State is operating and is again offering
some of the same men and the same sort of
candidates.
Senator James f. Watson was heralded as
the man who could do the job He is making
pretense of running for the presidency 1t is
a matter of common knowledge that as a real
candidate, he would have no support He has
a following, only through his bargainings with
State candidates and because he is represented,
quietly, as the representative of either Dawes
or Lowden.
Just as he was silent in 1926 when the storm
clouds lowered, Just as he then declared that
there was nothing to investigate, he now tries
to turn the attention of the Indiana voters
away from the campaign for decency by de-
claring that "guilt is personal. -
Guilt has been very personal, but the per-
sons who have been guilty have been the ones
elected and placed in power by the machine
which now has its combine of candidates.
Clyde Walb, who as State chairman two
years ago, waged the campaign for Senators
Watson and Robinson, will receive the returns
this year at Leayenworth, Kan.
Governor Jackson has not been invited to
take an active part in this campaign. Two
years ago he was the foremost advocate of
Robinson, whom he first appointed and of Wat
son, with whom he had friendly political reIa-
tions. Since then he has pleaded the statute of
limitations to retain his liberty and-God save
the mark-hs job.
Former Mayor Duvall was on the firing line
two years ago. He now has his eyes turned
to the Supreme Court and wondering whether
he will go to jail or get new trial.
Six councilmen were terrorizing the police
and fire departments and city employees for
the machine two years ago. They bargained
their jobs and pleaded guilty Ia small crimes
in order to escape prison sentences.
These men were the sources of power for
Acandidates who are now asking for aid
They were all for Congressman Updike,
awhose written contract to deliver all patron
Aage and the postmastership of indianapolis to
Stephenson, reposes in the black boxes,
They were all for Watson two years ago.
They were all for Robinson, into whose house
hold went Christmas present Of a pearl neck
lace from Stephenson.
They were all for Schortemeier when he ran
for Secretary of State.
If there is to be cleanup in Indiana, per-
haps some genius will explain how it can be
done by machine which profted so much
from the inffuefnfce of the personally
guilty"

Experts Scare Public

The average jury seldom takes
expert evidence seriously, not be-
cause it is dumb or disinclined, but
because the experts leave it no other
choice.
At the end of most trials where
insanity is made an issue, the jury
finds itself compelled to throw the
expert evidence away.
The trouble with expert evidence
is that it can prove most any Of us
insane. which not only makes peo-
pie skeptical but scares them

THE NE WIS
BY LUDWELL DENNY

THIS international labor day
II finds the organized working
class of the world divided by in
ternai strife and with less power
than at any time since the war,
according to reliable reports to
Washington,
Labor's weakness is probably only
temporary, to be followed by mill
tant attack against the capitalist
system of industry and government
in various parts of the world, in
the judgment of many observers.
The next labor offensive-by the
Communist left wing, the Socialist
center, and right wing unions-iS
expected to center on the issue of
imperialism" especially British
policy in the Near and Far East
and United States policy in the
Caribbean and South America.
Though the three chief wings"
of labor's world "army" are no
nearer than ever to the long sought
united front" they are said to be
developing from different angles
and for different reasons toward the
same anti-imperialist tactics.
For the moment, however, Off
Gals of this and most other coun-
tries are not alarmed by any i'm
mediate industrial or political
threat by the relatively weak left
wing extremists.
