Ofiialmente Sc comunica que ell Jee de las fuerzas miEtares

clones de paz, ofreciendose al heroe, en- case de rendimiento Unconditional
riquezas Y honores.
Ell General SANDING, que es hombre modesto, en- vez de tan bellas
cosas, pidio algo mas patriotco. que saieran los marines de la TERRA
de los Lagos, demostrando con clio, desinteres Y humildad de aspira-
clones.
Ell ife de los marinos Sc mostr0 contrariado.
Y pensar que 81 SANDING hubiese dobado ell espinazo n reverencia
sumsa, acatadora de tan mobiles anhelos, ahora ser1a, en- vez de un
banddo, III prohombre, un salvador de la Patria, un honorable, en- fnu
digno de levantarsae I'm monumento n vida.
Pero que lie vamos a hacer. SANDING n o es Moncada, quien, entire
parentisis, debe sentrse apesadumbrado al considerar que al vender
los rifles liberales a dez dolares, hio NAL negocio.
Pero va es tarde. Los rifles Hberales en- manos de Moncada, son
matematicas de Tanto pr ciento. En- manos de SANDING, son sacrifio
heroismo v ensonaciones Ibertarias.

Come On, Indiana

What the Nation thinks of Indiana may
he estimated from an appeal to the voters OF
this State by the Chicago Tribune, noted for
its independence.
It was the Tribune which led in the clean
up of Illinois and which saved that State from
its corrupt bosses.
Under the caption, "Come On, Indiana, -
the Tribune today prints this editorial appeal
to sister State:
Thomas H Adams, the fighting editor OF the
Vincennes Commercial, is the outstanding Coh-
tender for the Republican nomination 1or NIoVelnoI
of Indiana There are eight other candidates ana
We inonIv no criticism of Them but for the great
congregation of good citizenship outside OF Indiana
which is watching the splendid campaign Tor the
restoration of clean politics and real AerlcanSin
in that State the victory of Adams in the primary
and at the polls would mean more than the success
of anv other man. Adams has been In the lore
front of the battle. He has put up fight Tor non
esty and decency against corruption, hypocrisy ana
fanaticism which has not only won him respect ana
applause throughout the Nation but which assures
him a place in our political history. More than
any one else probably he represents to the NaClon
the spirit of militant reform in Indiana.
And we believe the country Is watching the course
of events in Indiana with more seriousness than is
given to any State campaign. The cleanup in Hi
noisN encouraged every good political influence in
the Nation and hope, prepared the way Tor a
restoration of decency, official integrity and genuine
American character in neighbor State.
What dare we hope for the future of Amreica
If the people of such State as Indiana, long the
lust pride not only of its citizens but OF all
America, fail in the test now before them?

South Bend NewS-TimeS
The episcopal bull of the Rev.
E. S. Shumaker has gone forth.
The edict is issued. The mandate
is announced. We know, by fiat
of the Chief Political Power OF In
diana for whom we must vote in
the coming primaries.
Fifteen of the thirty candi-
dates in st. Joseph County are
listed as wet. Nineteen are
stamped dry, which is amusing in
face of the fact that several Of
them are known through the ter
ritory as decidedly wet.
The list shows the impossibility
of impartial summation either Of
characters or records with the
facilities possessed by DR.. Shu-
maker.
Arthur L. Gilliom is listed as
wet, of course. That is not be-
cause Mr.. Gilliom drinks. 1t is
not because he favors abolition Of
the Eighteenth amendment.
1t is not because he advocates
repeal of the Volstead law. 1t is
not because he checked this same
Mr.. Shumaker for doing very
wrong thing-for tearing down
the judicial structure of the State
Of Indiana and casting shame
upon the Supreme Court thereof.
This makes Mr.. Gilliom Wetl

pletey hidden from our view by heavy, dense clouds
1t may be that sunlight never penetrates these
clouds If that is the case, then the planet is life
less, since life is impossible without sunlight
Our earth is the third planet in order from the
sun.
Just beyond earth is Mars, about half the size
Of the earth, with diameter of about 1920 miles
Recent thermocouple measurements on Mars seem
to indicate varying temperature ranging from about
40 degrees below zero at the frigid zone, which is
then having winter to about IS degrees at the trop-
ical zone
These temperatures are at noon on the planet
Temperature falls off during the night SO that at
sunrise the tropics show temperature Of zero.
Astronomers are convinced that the so-caed canals
Mars are only surface markings and not artificial
canals.
There is possibility that Mars is inhabited but
direct evidence of it, and astronomers are very
skeptical.
-Four planets remain to be surveyed.
First Jupiter, the largest of all, the big brother
of the solar system Next, Saturn the ringed planet
Third Uranus, the planet which Sir William Herschel
discovered And finally Neptune, the outermost planet.
Next: The facts about Jupiter.

A False Leader

If the campaign has done nothing more, it
of the State that Rev. E. S. Shumaker is much
more Of politician than reformer.
1t is inconceivable that the good people of
the State, who really desire prohibition, will
longer be led into the morass of corrupt politics
through the Shumaker leadership
He has been deserted by his closest friends
and denounced by them as unfair One of the
members Of the committee named by Shumaker
as responsible for recommendations has de-
clared that Shumaker personally set aside one
decision of the committee and printed an
Endorsement which he had promised not to
make
The personal attorney Of Shumaker, talk
ing over the radio, declared that Shumaker
used weasel words and intimated that Shu-
maker had tried to deceive the voters and fol
lowers Of his cause by tricky statements.
The vicious influence of Shumaker in poll
tics is that he has tied the good people of the
State to the underworld and the bootlegger
and has been the greatest aid to the forces
which have corrupted the State.
His attitude is shown in the case of Updike
for Congress and Robinson for the Senate.
That Updike had signed corrupt contract
with Stephenson, had escaped prison only by
the statute of limitations, and had been de-
nounced by the grand jury as criminal who
could not be reached, meant nothing to Shu-
maker He and the remnants Of the Khan, are
still for Updike.
The same is true Of Robinson. The Shu-
maker report in his case was forgetful Of the
pearl necklace letter to Stephenson. He did
not care that the Robinson law firm is known
as the great defender of the bootleggers.
The men and women who believe in pro-
hibtion know that there can be no real en-
forcement Of law as long as a corrupt ma
chine controls officials.
They know that there will be protection
Of bootleggers thefts Of Squibb's whisky from
Federal buildings, the use Of confscated whisky
by corrupt officials on election days, as long
as the bosses rule.
They know that to make any advance IN
enforcement, there must be a complete divorce
from the underworld crooks who are controlled
by the bosses and used by them.
In this campaign the Endorsement Of the
drv leader was so palpably trade with the
leaders Of the corrupt machine that no one
will be longer fooled
The Endorsement Of Updike and Robinson
by Shumaker carries its own warning to those
who want decency in government.

Congress and Flood Control

Flood control legislation has been approved by
both Houses of Congress. The emergency created
by the great flood Of last year jusfes the action.
Whether the work to be done will cost more than
the estimated $4oo0OOOo0 is less important than the
fact that the work can be done
The Presidents fight on this legislation hardly
has served useful purpose. 1t is only to be hoped
that it has not impaired public confidence in the
proposed Government undertaking, If SO, he can
help restore this confidence by signing the bill when
it comes to him.
Congress and the Mississippi Valley States appear
to have emerged from the flood control fight with
clean hands, They apparently sought sincerely to
comply with every suggestion that would tend to
safeguard the bill against graft and pork.
If they have not been completely successful it is
because in so large a project not all waste be
avoided.
The important thing now is to get the work under
way at the earliest possible moment.

Becomes EXaCting Post

From a physical standpoint the
presidency has become a more ex-
acting position than it was seventy
five, or even twenty-five, years ago.
The United States has not only
become a bigger Nation, but the
people have grown to expect more
of their chief executive.
The President is now asked to
do a hundred and one things that
were not regarded as a part of his
duty in the beginning He must
shake hands with thousands and
thousands Of people, open baseball
games, arbitrate strikes, listen to
whines from all parts of the coun-
try and convert himself into a sort
Of social and moral purveyor for
120,000,000 people.

One Served Month

Charles Evans Hughes says he is
too old to run for the presidency
at &c, while Frank o. Lowden feels
otherwise at g. Only one man,
William Henry Harrison, ever be-
came President at such an advanced
age, and he lived but one month.
Andrew Jack son, on the other
hand, entered The White House at
81, served two terms, survived eight
years after coming out and died at
78, Notwithstanding the fact that he
had feen shot through the lungs.
-Four of the twenty-nine men who
have served as Presidents Of the
United States entered Office after
they were 60. All four were among
the first fifteen Presidents.
The last President to assume Office
above the age of go was James
Buchanan.
Since his time no President has
entered Office beyond the age Of Sc.

With Other Editors
(To Be Continued

Arthur Robinson is listed as a
dry. This also makes Mr.. Rob-
inson's intimate friends laugh.
They know what kind of business
the Robinson law firm does.
They know that a great per-
centage of the bootleggers who
have money enough to retain Mr..
Robinsons firm do SO. 1t is a
competent firm - especially in
Federal Court practice.
Scion Carter says that a great
deal of the business done by Sen
ator Robinson's firm consists Of
defending violators of the Vol
stead law, which is so holy to Mr..
Robinson.
So we have Senator Robinson
making speeches (for an honor
arium) in behalf of the Volstead
act. And we have Senator Robin
sons firm making money out of
offenders against this same stat
ute. That is playing both ends
against the middle.
Those who criticise these &C
tons automatically fall into the
wet ranks, whether they are
personally as dry as the Sahara
desert.
There is a decided unfairness
about the whole procedure, but no
man should expect fairness on
this issue. The political power
of the league has not been built
up that way.

Need for PremierS

European countries can afford to
set their chief executives on a shelf
for decorative purposes, because
there are prenliers to do the work.
Either we should have a premier
to relieve the President or stand
aside and give him a chance to func-
ton.
1t is about time that we gave
serious consideration to the ques-
ton of whether we want states
man in the White House or a bally-
hoo artist.
If a statesman, we should adopt
an attitude that does not deprive
us of the experience and wisdom
which goes with age.
If a ballyhoo artist, we should

of letting the President alone
We not only expect more Of him

in addition we desire him to con-

1t would take little less than a

Judgment. experience and poise. The
