THOSE SIX ADVISERS. The Indiana Supreme Court has appointed six representative lawyers of Indiana, three of them Republicans and three Democrats, to act as friends of the court in the contempt proceedings brought by Attorney-General Gilliom against E. S. Shumaker, state superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, and two other officers of the league. Mr. Gilliom charges that ,Shumaker and others are in contempt of the supreme court because of alleged criticism of the state's highest judicial body contained in the annual report of the league as published. Shumaker et al. deny that they intended to express contempt for the judges. The court by its naming these six lawyers to help it determine whether Shumaker and others should be punishe'd for their published utterances, is to be commended. That is the next best thing to placing the case in the hands of jurors, and the Indiana law does not contemplate permitting one charged with contempt to be tried by a jury. These six lawyers will read the charges and all the pleadings in the case and then give an opinion to the court as to whether the acts of Shumaker and other league officers constitute contempt. Presumably the judges will be guided by the advice of the six, although they are under no obligation to do so, the capacity of the attorneys merely that of advisers. An objection to the procedure may be, however, that these attorneys were named by the court. If they had been appointed by some disinterested person or organizations that would have been much better. If the six had included one lawyer and five other persons, he to recite the statutes and precedents and the other five to use their common sense, that would have been still better. Summary actions by courts in the exercise of their supposed right to punish for contempt are constantly becoming more obnoxious. It is against the spirit of Americanism that one who is the joint prosecutor and complaining witness :in any kind of case should also be the judge.—Muncie Press. Sut, ole boss, you’re,right, as usual. And let us pray that the time is not far distant when Inal ana will have a clear contempt law, which will make it safe for newspapers to criticize public officials without taking the risk of being sent to jail or the penal faim, without trial, fer doing so. Neither the law nor the constitution gives warrant for such summary proceedings. The brazen assumption that the power to do so is one of the inherent attributes of a judgship is ridiculous, un-American and utterly beyond reason. The bill of rights declares that “all power inheres in the people,” and not in the judges. The unbridled power to punish for contempt will ultimately destroy the republic, if not curbed by the people themselves, in whom all power inheres. The very foundations of our republic depend upon a free, unbought, uncontrolled press. The publisher of this newspaper will probably have to spent? 'weary months on the state penal farm because of an opinion handed down by the state supreme court that the truth is no defense. This mediaeval dictum should strike terror to every free born citizen of America. Judges are creatures of the constitution and since the constitution conference such “inherent” power upon the judges, it follows that the judges, in assuming to have such a right, hold themselves above the constitution of the state of Indiana and the United States. Lawyers, who are in a sense dependent upon the judges for their very livelihood, since the judge is in a position to do them much harm, as a rule, tremble and acquiesce when such questions as contempt arise. This state has been ruled by lawyers long enough. It is time for the honest newspapers of the state to take a hand in the game. If the press is to be throttled and prebented through fear of imprisonment from criticizing unworthy public officials, then there is no hope for a continued and honest administration of the public affairs of the state of Indiana. Mussolini, the new Roman dictator, holds the press of Italy in the hollow of his hand. Mediaeval England sent men to the block for telling the truth about the king. The Czar of Russia insolently sent his truthful critics to a living death in Siberia. Louis the Magnificent laughed insolently in the faces of his subjects when they plead for justice, liberty and equality. Of these alone the destiny of Mussolini has not yet been fulfilled. The axe of Cromwell became a precedent in Great Britain, the Czar and his whole tribe were wiped out by the long suffering Russ and when the people arose in their might the French king whined and cringed and unavailingly cried for mercy when the tumbril bore him to the guillotine. This is Indiana. This is a free republic. The people simply won’t stand for the ghastly dictum “the truth is no defense.” The truth is fundamentally a defense. No court can make the people believe otherwise.

or not the newspapers of Indiana are to be completely throt-

tled.

In its contempt action against Rev. E. S. Shumakdr, which was instituted within less than a week after handing down its adverse decision and opinion in the Dale case, the supreme court has called in six eminent Indiana lawyers, three democrats/ and three republicans, to help them deenffi

the case.

This almost goes to the point of a trial by jury, or, at least a partial change of venue, in the Shumaker case. No eminent lawyers were called in to help Judge Dearth make up his mind in the Dale case, in which the supreme co’urt held that we were not entitled to a change of judge, or a trial in the ordinary sense of the word. Last Friday the attorney general presented a motion in the supreme court requesting that Shumaker be called in and punished, citing as his sole authority the case of Dale vs. State 150, N. E. 781. Thus the ink was hardly dry in the Dale case before it became a “precedent.” . It will be interesting to note the action of tne six lawyers who are to advise the court. They met Tuesday anc. after an all day conference adjourned to meet again sqme day next week. ,. The supreme court adjourns Saturday so the ShumaKe case will not come to trial until "October or later. In the Shumaker case there have been constant pleadings ana counter pleadings since the first of March Four months nave elapsed since proceedings were instituted against the h.a of the anti-saloon league and apparently months moie will elapse before a decision is made. , r ., } v ■ In the Dale case it was simply biff, bang! Citea on Miday we were in jail the next Wednesday, not even being allowed representation by counsel. Mr. Wheeler Accents the Brand. Even those who are ardently Volsteadian in their sympathies and who see no harm, but much that is loyal and good, in the crusade of congressmen for the present policy ot na tional prohibition (both in* congress and out) must recognize a somewhat regrettable breach of congressional ethics, m o u practice of legislators who accept compensation or hMO - aria,” for prohibition argument on the public plattorm. Indeed, the Portland Oregonian, the driest Ol the diy, recently had this t 0 say of the practice: “There are a hundred and one topics, many pt winch mi,, caivahly have to do with principles enunciated in the Constitution, ^hat may properly be discussed in public addresses, and for an honorattum by members of congress. One may regard it as an estabhshed fae. Uat the demands upon the salary of the average coiigressman-the Nvliolly legitimate and ineludible deffiapds-fill him with dismay and foreboding. Dulcet as is the call to high office, he must often brood vwtli regret over the prosperous law business he cast aside, or whatever ip. enterprise may have been that he deserted. An address and U& subsequent honorarium are as manna in the desert, as oil in the Ciuzu. as

corn in the granary.

“But the topic of prohibition, if talked for hire, seems to us to by one of those forbidden themes from which all prudent solons will sheer awav. For though prohibition is national law, though it is embodied in the Constitution, it has lately been thrust into the lists of controversy. We had thought it settled for once and all. A not inconsiderable lira portion of our citizens, no matter how they may have been incited, declare that it is not settled. As an issue to he discussed for hire, by one;who may be called upon record his official judgment thereon, it is therefore ethically taboo. The offense is not a capital one. You could mA drive a coach-and-lour through this breach, hut the breach, diminutive though it. may be, is there.’’ > || Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel, of the Anti-Saloon League, seems to us to have acted without due cautioivc' her for his cause or for the good name of the friends of that cause, when he approved and urged the honorarium for con-

NEWSPAPER MEN TO THE DEFENSE. Both the republican and democratic state editorial associations are taking a lively interest in the contempt case in which the editor of the Post-Democrat was convicted, sentenced to three months imprisonment and fined five hundred dollars, the conviction being affirmed by the state supreme court. * Using as its slogan, “THE TRUTH IS A DEFENSE,” the united press of Indiana, will give its fullest support to the movement which is now being taken to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States. At a meeting held in a distant city two weeks ago last Sunday, which was attended by the publisher of this newspaper and leading newspapermen from various parts of the state, the matter was thoroughly discussed and the universal opinion was that a serious crisis confronts the newspaper profession in Indiana and that it must be met by prompt action. Curiously, the initiative in this matter came from the republican editorial association, every newspaper man present, with the exception of the editor of the Post-Democrat, being a republican, and all were publishers of leading Indiana republican daily newspapers. “In a crisis of this kind,” declared the chairman of the meeting, a prominent southern Indiana publisher, “politics is ■not to be considered. The great question of the freedom of the press is involved in this decision. If the truth is no defense then indeed is the free press of America in a strained position. This challenge of our rights, as publishers, to tell the truth about public officials, mu$t bq met with .firmness and dignity, but nevertheless with the determination to carry this case to the highest court in the land, thus securing an interpretation which will be final.” The presidents of both state editorial associations have sent telegrams announcing, then* interest and participation ui a legal battle, the termination of which will decide whether

and confusing the public conscience by yielding to the law making passion and to the censoring ardor of reformers, amateur and professional. But if we are to have as many yerbotens as the kaiser’s Prussia, let us at least discriminate between a regulation and laws against real crimes. Rembve regulatory enactments from the crmiinal code, and as Mr. LaFollette wisely urged, “save the intricate, technical machinery of the criminal law for the crimes for which it was devised—murder, robbery, rape, and similar felonies.” To make this necessary clarification will be difficult because the zeal of the reformer is ardent and his horizon narrow. But the legal profession is or should be aware of the evil and its part in the shaping of our laws is predominating. In all our legislatures and in congress lawyers are leaders and they ought, as a matter of professional intelligence, to resist the tendency to confuse the distinction between breaches of regulations or offenses merely malum prohibitum and seri-

ous crimes.—Chicago Tribune.

JUDGE DEARTH

Hon. Albert H. Vestal.

Where did we hear that name, seems familiar some way. Oh yes, he is the fellow who comes around every two years asking to be elected to the national house of representatives. Between elections he seems to be asleep, probably his name appears on the pay roll of the House regularly but as that roll d'oes not circulate in the Eighth Indiana district the voters never see it. Of course the district must be represented to get that $10,000 a year salary but if that is all the representative is to do don’t you think we might at least pass the pie around? Bert Vestal has been in congress now for ten years and will some of his friends please point to anything he has done in all those years that has benefitted the district to the amount of one year’s salary, much less to ten of them.

It is not possible to find a man in

something more than a salary drawer? We make the charge that Vestal has never earned even one year's salary, come on

with the proof that we are wrong.

Mr. Tormohlen wants less law and less taxes, so do we. We would wish to see the Pistol Packer’s Permit law, enacted by the last republican legislature, repealed, is that one of the laws you would abolish? Also the obsolete Anti-Horse-thief Detective law, under which gangs of men organize and assume the prerogatives of elected officers of the law, we thing it is time that ancient law should be abolished, particularly since the horse is rapidly becoming an extinct animal, what do you think about it, Bert? These are just samples of what we think but we will have more to say along this

line before the campaign is over.

(Coiitinu^d from Page One.) secured to prove this to be true. Proof could be obtained that a gambling and'liquor syndicate supplied a large part of the Hampton campaign fund in the city election and that the same crowd financed the Ogle fiasco in the recent county primary. Neither should there be any trouble to secure the evidence that five gamblers put up sixteen hundred dollars to aid in the elec tion of Harry McAuley to the office

of sheriff in 1924

We do not say that Judge Dearth does not contemplate a general clean-up, hut many here are disturbed at his failure to arraign the Hampton police department, which manifestly protected the groups of law violators who were responsible for Hampton’s election. If Judge Dearth and two lone in-

Deep Laid Plans.

Politicians and the press seem greatly concerned the fact that Jim Watson has broken with Coolidge and seems to be backing the ambitions of Dawes as against thofee of Lowden. Nothing could be simpler when viewed from the standpoint of our ambitious senator. Seeing that the prestige of Coolid'ge was slipping, Jim immediately took advantage of the possibility of some one else receiving the nomination in 1928. Afraid that Lowden would control the; farmer vote Jim has apparently backed Dawes to split that

vote if possible.

Watson has never done anything to make himself a national figure, it is extremely doubtful if he has the ability to do so, and no one realizes this fact more thoroughly than

'Hampton’s first act was to place ten more men on the police force. This army of policemen passed all these gambling houses and immoral resorts many times a day. They knew they were there and running. The men on the beat must have had instructions of some kind to go blind every time they passed a gambling house or a house ol

made a special study of flies attacking dairy cows. However, it is evident that under most farm conditions, this method appears to be impractical. Therefore, control of cattle flies has become largely a matter of applying a spray to the animals to protect them from attack. The most promising of all materials thus far tested, based on cost, practicableness and effectiveness, is a simple preparation which can be easily prepared. It consists of one gallon of used motor crank case oil to which is added and mixed one pint of oil of tar. It is often advisable to let the used crank case oil stand for 24 hours and allow the carbon and other dirt to settle, then drain off the clear oil before mixing with the oil of tar. Make the application soon after the morning milking, being careful to cover each cow completely with a ine mist. The most satisfactory sprayer to rpply the oil Is the compressed air Ape obtainable at most stores handling spray supplies and which sells for $6.00 to $10.00. A small hand atomizer may be used but wears out quicker, is less efficient, and takes more time and labor to

use.

This new spray costs only about t j cents to spray 10 cows for a 90day period, which is one cent per

At the time a lively crap game was going on behind a locked door leading to. the gambling froom. In his charge to the grand jury, Wednesday, Judge Dearth said the police were now functioning well, Hp said that after he had located five blind tigers this week the chief ordered the places ffrilled.

for consideration.

But that which is most guileful of all in the operations and machinations of the Anti-Saloon League is not the mere matter of “honorari” for legislators. It is rather the fact that the league is a mighty force in undermining party responsibility and in beclouding major issues with minor considerations—with the result that a candidate’s wetness or dryness is made the sole guide and index of his capacity for

public service.

Mr. Wheeler told a recent congressional investigating committee that, as between two candidates, regardless of all other considerations, it is the policy of the league to endorse the one most devoted to the Volsteadian cause. If a “damp” republican is running against a bone-dry democrat, the league endorses and supports the bone-oVy democrat. Never mind the free-trade soup-houses! Never mind the possibility of entanglement in the league of nations! Never mind anything—just so long as the candidate is dry! That’s the Anti-Saloon league code. Suppose, at some future date, three men are running for the presidency—a republican opposed to the Volstead act, a democrat favoring modification of that act, and a communist committed to a policy of Sahara dryness. Following Mr. Wheeler’s reasoning to its logical conclusion, the league might be expected to support the bone-dry communist. Never mind the doctrines of communism! Oh, no! If the gentleman is- dry—support him! \ Mr. Wheeler has given full confirmation of our contention that his organization is concerned with one law and 1 one moral. That is the brand of fanaticism, and Mr. Wheeler has chosen to W£ar it, rather than the badge of conservative citizenship which concerns itself with the general welfare, relegating the question of prohibition to its proper place in the socio-political scheme.—Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel.

figures. Under such conditions and by such reasoning the ap- ‘ parent backing of Dawes after the spKt with Coolidge is very simple. Also the action of the Watson state committee in asking Coolidge to aid in the state campaign, this is done merely as a sop to the Coolidge men of the state. There may lie those deluded republicans in the state of Indiana who

Fake Regulations Out of the Criminal Code. Philip Lab ollette, district attorney of Madison and son if the late senator of Wisconsin, made one of the most important and timely proposals heard at the meeting of the Wisconsin Bar association. He urged the removal from the criminal statutes of “those offenses defined as criminal, but which in reality are merely social regulations arising out of complex living.” Unquestionably this overloading of our criminal statutes with offenses that are not in any serious sense criminal, that are not what the law calls malum in se or morally evil in themselves, is one of the reasons for the shortcomings of our administration of the criminal law. It not only diyerts energy that ought to be concentrated on serious crime,: but by giving to a minor infraction of the law a character itMoes not possess, by making it more heinous to the law than it is to the conscience, all respect for law is weakened. It is demoralizing to classify as criminal the breach of a regulation Df convenience. There is bad policy in making a criminal of every speeder, as Mr. LaFollette says, and in classifying a farmer who ships his chickens in an illegal crate with a guntoting gangster, or the boy who catches a frog in his neighijor’s yard with a pickpocket. -We are breaking down the efficiency of law enforcement

think Watson is a really great statesman but not Watson himself, he knows himself to be nothing but a designing politician and plays the game strictly from that angle.

Vicious Centralization.

While much has been said about centralization of power and authority in recent years and both are round oylcly and authority in recent years and both arc roundly condemned, the most vicious of all centralization has seemingly gone Unnoticed. That is the centralization of iVealth. Republican official's and papers point with pride to the fact that the wealth of the country, of the United States, has doubled in five years under the rule of that party. Yet they fail to say anything about the fact that agricultural values have depreciated $20,000,000,000 during that same period of time. There can be but one explanation of this fact, that is that the Ford-ney-McCumber tariff has driven all wealth to the cities and manufacturing centers, thus centralizing wealth. Figures from this state show very conclusively how this is done. Of each 100 of our population 31 live on farms. Of each $100 of income of the citizens of the state the farmer gets from $8 to $12. Of each $100 of taxes paid in the state the farmer pays $28. Figure this up for yourself and see why farms are deserted, why farms are a drug on the market, why the farmers are rapidly returning to the old “hayseed” days when to be a farmer was a joke. Yet the farmers wanted “normalcy” and vobed for it. Now Jim Watson proposes to take the peanuts out of the bag and see if they won’t be satisfied with a bag of wind. ^ 1

Judge Dearth instructed the grand jury to forget politics and make an impartial investigation, let the chips fall v/here they may. So, while the grand jury is chopping wood, it should hew to the center of the conspiracy to turn j Muncie over to the law breakers and not confine it to any one individual. It is unthinkable that the sheriff is wholly responsible, with forty or fifty policemen patroling

the streets continually.

And the investigation would hardly be complete were it to overlook the activities of the law breakers in the city primary and final election and the primary of 1925. Whisky, boodle, bribery and fraud were as sands of the sea and hundreds took part who would talk.

NOTICE.

Silk Stockings. At a recent meeting of the Silk Stocking Manufacturers Association, President Galbraith of that association bragged that short skirts and high tariff had enabled his association to make $750,000,000 in the last year. The ladies can wear longer skirts and hide cotton stockings if they wish to but they can’t remove the tariff by voting for Jim Watson, Artie Robinson and Bert Vestal. Oh no, those gentlemen are wedded to the principle of high tariff and in love with the beneficiaries of that tariff. Mr. Galbraith lives at Bay City, Michigan, the same state from which Representative Fordney went to congress, was there any connection between these facts? Did Mr. Galbraith have anything to do with fixing the tariff of the Foudney-McCumber bill on silk stockings? More than half of these “Silk” stockings are made from wood pulp right here in this country, yet you ladies, under the terms of the republican high tariff, must pay a high tariff price for an article of home manufacture. How do you like it? Ask your husband to explain how it works and don’t be satisfied with any evasion. It’s a safe bet he can’t explain it.

High tariff advocates of the east are fighting the extension of that system to the farmer because they know the whole theory is a delusion and if made to cover too much territory it will break of its own weight. Farmers have been taught that prosperity depends on the tariff for so long that they believe it and now demand a slice of that prosperity. r ihey probably will not get it this session of congress but will the next and then will come the explosion of that great republican myth. - -

Cockroaches Can Be Eradicated By Simple Treatment

Cockroaches, roacehs, water bugs, or croton bugs, as they are variously called; those brown or blackish, active insects which commonly infect kitchens, cellars and bakery shops, and which hide by day and run about at night, are so easily and thoroughly controlled, their continued presence in dwellings is hardly excusible, say Purdue University entomologists. Cockroaches are normally seav engers and feed on almost any dead animal matter although also eating^ cereal products and food materials of all kinds. The damage they do, is not so much to the products ac tually consumed, but in the soiling and rendering nauseating everv thing with which they come in con-

tact. k.

The most effective, and at the same time simplest means of destroying cockroaches, say the Pur due men, is by using sodium fluoride the same material now so commonly used for poultry lice, which is obtainable at most drug stores. Sodium fluoride ig a white powder to be applied liberally in the parts of the house frequented by the insects, especially the dark corners of closets, pantries, under sinks, around dark places, behind baseboards, or in cracks where ’they may enter rooms. For convenience in applying, a small dust gun or blower, such as is obtainable at drug stores, is useful. Make several applications, probably once week for two or three weeks. Sodium fluoride is slightly poisonous and care should he taken that the dust does not come in contact with foods to he eaten.
