ing several surprises. the annual Ma
sonic and Eastern Star Home benefit
field day base ball game at American
League Park Saturday gives promise OF
being one of the warmest trays the
Masonic teams have waged in their Is
annual engagements.
Manager George H. Jones Is keeping
silent concerning his lineup and prob
able strength for the game. His team
took severe drubbing last year, and
he has been busy for several weeks
grooming what he thinks should be a
winning combination. He has such
stars as Chaconas, Coe, Jenkins, Grubb
Hiser and Homan in his batting order,
with the former probably slated to do
the pitching.
George E. King. who manages the
Shrine nine, defending the laurels won
last year, will again depend on Driver
TO turn back the Grotto sluggers. It
was Drivers pitching that played such
| a prominent part in the victory last
June. Harnsberger will probably go be-
| hind the bat again.
King will probably send all of the
following into the game: r. Homan,
Hanes, Slanker, Fox, Desper, Schneider,
don and Potter.
Uniformed drills, band concerts,
comedy by Nick Altrock and Al Schacht

tons of innumerable oil deals to

where Harry F. Sinclair got the
$233,O00 in Liberty bonds which he

Buy at Any Price

The question of whether the IN
terboro Rapid Transit Company
should have its fare increased from
a nickel to seven cents depends on
whether the former is conf1scatory,
which, in turn, depends on what It's
property is worth.
In other words, before the court
can say whether a seven-cent fare
is necessary. it must fix a valuation.
1t is quite possible that that is
what the Interboro Rapid Transit
Company is really trying to get be-
fore the idea of trading and con-
solidating the various systems goes
too fsr.
Further than that, it Is quite pos
sible that the Interboro Rapid
Transit Company is making this de-
mand in order to get the public in
such an angry mood that 1t would
sanction purchase of its system at
any price.
A high valuation fixed in court,
with the city in a mood to buy,
would certainly be a very excellent
setup, but not original or unprece-
dented.
Quite a few instances could be
cited where public utilities have
taken advantage of fair, if not IN
dulgent, courts to get their valua-
ton boosted by yelling for more
revenue just before they sold out.

submarines and such craft in the same ways
that capital ships had been limited in 1921
therefore, America again took the initiative
in calling a second naval conference, this time
at Geneva.
At our suggestion for total of 900 or
100000 tons for cruisers, Britain insisted on
more than $4,000 tons, thus increasing, instead
of reducing and limiting her proposed strength.
Whereupon the United States, on an equal
footing with Britain as to capital ships, but
far behind in cruiser tonnage, set about
strengthening herself in that direction. That
is all there is to it.
If our total program is carried out, we
then shall be somewhere within hailing dis
lance of Britain, but not stronger. With all
her naval bases-a vital factor in sea power
she still will be our superior.
But most important Of all, perhaps, will be
the effect of approximate parity when and if
there is another naval parley. At Washington
in 1921 we were stronger than any in capital
ships
So it was not difficult to induce the others
to agree to reduction and limitation of that
class. At Geneva we were weaker than the
others in cruisers and they laughed at our sug-
gestions for reduction and limitation of that
class. When the great sea powers really meet,
as they must, sooner or later, Uncle Sam will
talk as an equal and the others will listen to
what he says.
The United States is not seeking to domi-
nate the seas. Had it had any such vaulting
ambitions as that, it would never have called
either the Washington or the Geneva naval con-
ference.
It merely seeks that equality which is
necessary, whether it be for its defense or to
make its voice heard in the councils Of nations.

administration policies and was
dismissed. Both will gain some
measure of support on their dec
larationS, but are not likely to
fare great way except by broad
ening their platforms to embrace
the one issue which appeals today
to the good sense and decent
minds Of the vaster bulk of the
States citizenship. We believe
that both will soon appreciate this
and reduce utilities" to minor
place in their stock of issues.
Other candidates will present
themselves in both the Democratic
and Republican parties within the
next few weeks and perhaps few
days. The prospect is that each
party will approach the primary
election with a numerous field of
candidates and bring on a contest
of much interest and possibly not
a little confusion. Fred E.
Schortemeier, Secretary of State,
is expected to cast his hat in the
ring soon and If he does, the Re-
publican field will understand
that it has Schortemeier to beat,
just as the Democratic field al
ready knows that it has Frank G.
Daley to head Off before any
other can hope for the smallest
chance.

South Bend Tribune



A newspaper editor in Mobiles
vile, Ind, recently sent to other
newspaper men in the State a
long statement in defense of Indi-
ana'S governor. Personally this
Noblesville editor hoped Indiana
newspapers receiving it would
give it publication. Few, if any,
provided they were governed by
sound common sense, we're de-
ceived by this publicity, at least
to the extent of permitting it in
their columns. Most of them
should have condemned it If they
did not.
Circulation of this article by
the Noblesvllle editor was very
far from good taste at this time
on the eve of the indicted Gov
ernor Jackson's trial on a serious
charge. The fact thta Governor
Jackson was elected as a Repub-
lican does not require Republican
Republicans or anyone else, eX-
cept his selected lawyers, to rush
to the Governors defense. The
proper place for his trial is in the
courts and not in the columns of
newspapers. If Governor Jack
son is guilty under the indict-
ments he should be properly pun
iShed. If he is innocent the fact

The Test of Sincerity

One more candidate offers himself as the
candidate for Governor under the ''New Deal'
which has been heralded as most badly needed
and greatly to be desired.
The speaker of the House, Harry Leslie,
thinks that the party needs more honesty in
office and makes that his major plea for con-
sideration.
His platform leaves something to be de-
sired, and not even hints that he will be free Of
the Anti-Saloon League influence by refusing to
campaign in churches, or that he doesn't like
the Khan because he swears off of any secret
backings, will be accepted as entirely sufficient
by independent voters or even the voters who
are partisan but not blind.
What is demanded is some courage in de-
nouncing the forces that have ruled the Repub-
lican organization for the last few years and
brought it to it's present state of receivership.
Some candidate for this nomination may ap-
pear who will have the courage to put into
words what is in the minds Of all citizens.
Such a candidate will point the finger Of ac-
cusation TO those who came into power through
the regime of Stephenson and the bargains
with Watson's organization and declare that
those who have such political ancestry must be
banished from the high places.
1t is significant that none of the candidates,
and there are four, who want the gubernatorial
nomination have had anything to say concern
ing their attitude toward one Senator Arthur
Robinson.
1t is absurd to think OF s'New Deal"
which does not include reputation of Robin
son.
He boasts of his friendship with George V.
Coffin most discredited Of bosses. He was ap-
pointed to his Office because Of his friendship
with those elements of the party which create
the necessity for "New Deal"
Aspirants for the nomination for governor
ship have seen all their announcements, their
denunciations Of the primary, their pledges to
be free from the old COLLINS and old mysteries,
fall on deaf ears. There has been no noticeable
enthusiasm for any of these prospects of a
''better day."
The reason Is quf6e simple. As yet none has
met the acid test Of sincerity and courage
Some day candidate may appear who will
ask Republicans to repudiate Robinson, to take
charge of their own party on basis of prin-
ciple, to really reform and when he does, per-
haps the story may be different.
The people know what truly constitutes
"New Deal" even If the candidates apparently
lack knowledge.

Walsh's Inquiry

The resolution for a Senate investigation OF the
electrical power industry for which Senator Walsh
has been fighting for than year at least has
been reported out by the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee It's original form altered to limit the
inquiry to companies in interstate business at the
request of the power lobby. Senator Walsh does not
seriously object to this because he believes it will
not interfere greatly with his purpose.
The Senate will do we'll to act favorably on the
resolution with as little delay possible so work can
be started. Walsh has emphasized that he has no
intention Of making muck -rakng investigation and
that he has accused no one. He proposes simply a
study of recent developments in the industry, to
which there can be valid objection.
Growth of the power industry has been the out
standing economic fact of recent years. Companies
have issued enormous amounts Of securities, and there
has been constant succession Of mergers, as re-
suit Of which control has become concentrated In
gigantic corporations.
1t has been charged that some Of the financing
has not been in the public interest and that small
groups have been able to get control OF vast prop
critics through pyramiding.
No effective regulatory body exists for these huge
Interstate corporations for examining various stock
issues If Walshs inquiry shows the power idustry
sound and that it is being operated In the best inter-
est of the public, well and good.
If things are not they should be, remedies will
be devised Both the public and the industry itself
will benefit.

7-Cent Fare Fight

The Tnterboro Rapid Transit
Company has not only asked for a
7-cent fare, but is taking every pos
sible means to make it stick for
a while at least
After placing its application be-
fore the rapid transit commission,
it now is adjusting its turnstiles to
open for. n cents. instead of a nickel,
and is making preparations to bring
suit in the Federal Court.
So far as surface appearances go,
this looks like a simple bid for more
revenue, but there may be whole
lot more to the story.
Determination to retain the nickel
fare has led to all sorts of compli-
cation.
There are plans and programs for
unif1cation of all the subway and
elevated lines in order to guaran-
tee 1t.
Whether based on private or mu-
nicipal ownership these plans in
volve a great deal of buying and
selling. The idea of buying and
selling hinges on price. The stu
alton could be cleared up very nice
ly, except for that one item.

Uncle Sam and World Dominion

The simplest thing that Midas touched
turned to gold. The clearest problem, when
touched by politicians, becomes a Chinese
puzzle.
The United States stands very much in need
Of building up its fleet. The size Of our Navy.
was supposed to have been fixed at the Wash
ihgton conference, where the principle was laid
down that ours was to be the size Of Great
Britain's and two-ffths larger than Japan's.
Which, it would seem, would make ours
the simplest of simple problems. But no. A
debate now is raging in Washington and
throughout the land so completely befuddling
the issue that hardly one man in a hundred
knows whether the scheme is to spend $780,
100000 on our Navy or 100000, 00O-both
figures actually having been mentioned.
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore, that
the most sensational rumors are being told
against us abroad, the gist Of most being that
the Gargantuan Uncle Sam is on the point of
gobbling up the universe, horn, hoof and hide.
Britain, we are told, is particularly alarmed.
She simply can not understand what has come
over her Yankee cousin.
Nevertheless, the thing is as simple as
ABC.
Fss upward of couple of centuries Great
Britain was mistress Of the seas, defeating
each and every maritime power that even re-
motely threatened her supremacy. Then, with
the World War, came a turn of the wheel.
In 1920 the United States was by way of be-
coming the mightiest sea power. DESTROYS OF
no such position and advantage, however, we
took the initiative in calling a naval confer
ence and there voluntarily scrapped a mighty
Heet on the strength Of an agreement-partly
in threat form and partly on moral under
standing that Britain and America should en-
Joy parity as to navies
For five years the United States held strict
iy to both the letter and the spirit Of the
Washington agreement. But Britain did not.
And neither did Japan, which country was
supposed to limit her tonnage to ratio of three
to FIVE for Britain and the United States.
They simply took the money which they
otherwise might have spent upon the new for
hidden battleships and used it to build cruisers
and ships of other types not specifically limited
at Washington.
a In the hope of formally limiting cruisers,

lost, he reduces it to a fear of the
dead; and but stresses his argument
with vivid account of the inhuman
sacrifices with which men have
sought to slake the thirst of the
gods.
Thus many a time before the
beauteouS ShrineS a calf falls
sacrificed beside the incense smok-
ing affairs, and from the breast
spurtS hot stream of blood.
But the bereaved mother, as
she ranges over the green lawns,
knows the footprints stamped on
the ground by the cloven hoofs,
scanning with her eyes every spot
to see if she can anywhere behold
her lost youngling.
Each time she desistS from her
search she fills the leafy woods
with her meanings, and goes back
to her stall pierced in the heart
by the loss Of her calf.
Nor can the soft willows, nor
the grass quickened with dew, nor
yon rivers gliding level with their
banks, comfort her soul or put
away the care that has entered her
heart"
The eliminating horror of all is
human sacrifice, as when Agamem-
non offers Iphigenia to win a little
wind from heaven.
Tantum religio potuit Suadere ma
lorum:
ITO crimes so great religion coun-
sells men," 1t is a sad line, as ruth
less as it is strong; but those who
wish to preserve religion will have to
reckon with it.
