AND so JIM RETIRES

JAMES ELI WATSON, Whilom senior senator
from Indiana, Will retire to the sylvan dells
of private life, far from the madding crowd
Of the hastings. No more will he seek elective
office. Full of years and honors, he will retire
to peaceful pastures, like the mettlesome steed
that has run his race and run it well.
So one would opine from his latest state
ment. That, then, leaves no outstanding can
didate actively in the race for the Republican
senatorial nomination in 1884. Unless one
considers Senator Arthur Robinson, which
still leaves the count of outstanding candi-
dates at exactly none.
But James Eli Watson has made state
ments before with tongue in cheek. If the
prospect of victory brightens before time for
the next senatorial race rolls around it is a
safe bet that the sage of Rushyille will be
among those present.
The loaded dice are clicking against Robin
SON Back of the scenes the skids are being
prepared for the junior senator.
Leading Republicans, the gossip goes, are
unanimous on the matter of Robinson's re-
nomination, with the possible exception that
George V. Coffin may not agree to the scheme
II President Roosevelt continues to hold his
place in popular esteem and the Democrats
become even more strongly intrenched, then
Robinson can have the nomination.
But if there seems to be the slightest
chance to elect a Republican senator from In
diana, then the c. o. P. will ditch Little
Arthur who still IS counting on winning a
1884 race with 1924 tactics.
Senator Robinson has been strangely silent
for two or three days. Which is just as well,
for 10 use a somewhat mixed figure of speech,
every time he opens his mouth he hits into a
double play

business men have fallen prey to slick bond
statesmen, for Wall Street to go on in the
old way The public has learned By costly
experience that the name of a big bank or
bond house attached TO a security does not
make it secure.
To be sure. the legislation desired by the
administration will not guarantee investments
any more than the bank reform laws will
guarantee deposits. The investor still will
have to play his own game and take his own
chance.
If he wants the chance Of making profit,
he VIII have to take the accompanying
chance OF suffering a loss But the govern
ment VIII protect him to the extent of seeing
that the dice are not loaded, that the game
is not crooked.
For example, if securities company
which VIII not be allowed to exist as a bank
aflate-wants TO unload bogus bonds Of a
Latin American dictatorship on the public
here, it viii be forced to publish such peril
nent facts as that related bonds are in de-
fault, or that the foreign government has
record for spending borrowed money on graft
rather than for stated bond purposes, or that
the American promoter is milking both the
buyer and seller by extortionate fees.
Presumably also in the field of domestic
securities, the investment rackets by which
our insults and their kind not only beggared
tens Of thousands Of small investors, but also
wrecked strong banks and thus indirectly
ROBBED bank depositors, will be stopped by the
proposed laws.
Before an investor puts cent Of his money
into a stock or bond, he has q right to full in
formation regarding the finances of the COM
pany, not in the form of rugged statements,
which lured so many during the boom, but
facts set forth 50 clearly and honestly that
the buyer who gets cats and dogs Will have
fair warning
State blue sky laws do not afford that
protection; many OF them exempt securities
listed on the stock exchanges
Instead of the old racket under which the
buyer took almost all the responsibility and
virtually the only curb on the seller was the
limit Of the suckers credulity, the President
is determined TO make the dealer share re-
sponsibility for the honesty of his product.
Certainly nothing short of the Roosevelt
reform can restore confidence Of The invest
ing public.

NTATCHING the turbulence and excuses
W of the new government in Germany
these days is little bit like sitting by the bed
side of an old friend who burning with fever,
is striking out wildly and raving desperately in
a deliriun.
We are Mortified by what We see and hear,
and we wish earnestly that something could be
done to stop it; but at the same time we re-
member that our friend is not himself and
that in his sober senses he wouldn't dream of
doing the things that distress us SO greatly.
The things that are happening in Germany
today do not make pleasant reading. The
prospects for continued peace in the near fu-
ture are dark.
But We remember that Germany has been
driven numerically by the Versailles treaty; a
thing which, like fever. has raised a delirium.
IS there much chance for improvement until
the fever itself is broken?

Heretofore, the sixty great drug factories

The traffic in dope is a world scandal. 1t

Ratification Of this treaty OF course, must be
followed by rigid enforcement but the inn
mediate need is for early action by at least
two more of the manufacturing nations Great
Britain should act.
The United States is interested nightly
in success OF this treaty. While drug addic
ton here has been held down to 10000 or so
victims, strict enforcement is made difficult by
the ease Of dope smuggling.
In behalf OF our own unfortunates, as well

elsewhere, let this treaty be ratified quickly

SECURITY OR CHARITY

DY grace of a gallant speech by woman
~ member of its lower house, Maryland may
take honors as the second state to adopt COM
pulsory unemployment insurance, Wisconsin
being the first.
Miss Levinia Engle saved a compulsory In
surance bill from defeat and won its passage
in the house of delegates when she took the
floor to arraign the Bethlehem Steel Company
for lobbying against the security measure.
She charged that the steel concern had al
lowed 1900 of its workers to go to charity for
relief and then had objected to paying three
tenth of per cent of it's pay roll into
security fund under the bill
1T is the narrow and sordid attitude such
as displayed by the Bethlehem Steel Company
which will bring down upon our heads the
same situation the bankers brought on the
world of finance" she said.
The bill, carried after this speech p to 27,
has an even chance of passing the upper
house.
Popular sentiment is sweeping America in
favor of jobless insurance. Bills are pending
in twenty-six states. In Pennsylvania both
state and Philadelphia Chambers of Commerce
join with Governor Pinchot in urging compul-
sorry insurance.
Strong movements behind the plan are afoot
in Ohio, Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota,
and California The American Federation of
Labor, National League of Women Voters, and
other groups are at work in the states
The care Of its casualties is industry's
responsibility. If industry stirks its duty,
government must as it has with the banks,
intervene in behalf Of the public.

should choose the way of security

BY Times Reader
I would like to suggest to those
taxpayers on large property holdings
who object so strenuousIy to our
school taxes that they dispose of
their holdings. Any number Of us
would be glad to possess some Of it
and pay that tax that inks them
50, and not expect such enormous
profits. You don't notice any Of
them sacrificing one piece unless
compelled to.
We, the multitudes, will be glad
to pay a sales tax, if we can be as
sured that our school facilities will
not be hampered and will be i'm
proved.
Why not extend every one Of our
high school courses into college
courses, also open evening classes,
where those less fortunate in youth
might have opportunity to satisfy
their cravings for more knowledge?
The plan also would employ many
more teachers and it would, in time,
almost eliminate our snob class.
Our big taxpayer never did allow
his thoughts to center much on
child welfare conditions. His am
bitiOn just doesn't run in that direc-
ton. Oh, of course, he is inter
ested in keeping education in the
higher brackets for that small group
Of which he is the proud parent,
and he IS plenty willing to pay if
he can exclude the common crowd.
We, the muItitudes, indirectly
have paid all the taxes for centu-
ries, and he is wise enough to see
how a direct sales tax makes the
workers independent of his boosted
patrimony, and this is why he
makes so much fuss about this sales
tax being such a burden on the
little fellow.
Tt is only camOufage. He is only
afraid Of the independence the little
fellow is gaining. The road of the
manipulation has become rough, 50
now he pretends sympathy for his
felloW-men.
You Of the multitudes, don't let
them fool you with that propa-
ganda about the many people who
would have been better off if they
never had attended college. OF
course, there are some instances,
but the taxpayer who yells the
loudest against it sent his son to
college, and would continue to send
