Indiana Sails Slimes INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Daily Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street. Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBER OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. ~ - (Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, O. Logan Payne St Co* Advertising ( races }New York, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. — “THIS IS THE YEAR” — THE WONDER is not so much that Capt. Franklin was reduced as that he escaped reduction so long. TJIE MORE we see of Georgia’s politics the better we understand why William G. McAdoo moved to New York. THERE WILL BE NO FIGHT in the democratic convention that will end in the selection of undesirable candidates, anyhow. __ The Truth That Hurts Judge Albert B. Anderson, who represents the sovereignty of the United States in Indiana, says that the state courts do not do their duty and that when guilty men are to prison the governor or the parole board or someone turns them loose. Gov. James P. Goodrich, who still represents the sovereignity of the state of Indiana says the judge is a liar, a spotlight seeker and forgetful of his position in the state. Both are members of the republican party and the Columbia club. Both have, by reason of their official positions, excellent information on which to base any statements they may make concerning the enforcement of law. The differences of opinion between them, which has resulted in such outspoken statements can not be reconciled. One of them is wholly wrong. There is really no reason for dispute over the facts. The facts are easily ascertained from the records and he who runs may read. The Times has, in the last few months, printed sufficient of the public records in this state to give the general public a fair idea of who is correct in this controversy. Gov. Goodrich has never had the courage to deny a single statement which The Times has printed relative to his relations to the enforcement of criminal law in Indiana. Judge Anderson, as usual, told the truth when he denounced the lax manner in which the state courts have enforced the laws against automobile stealing and he told the truth when he said that through some influence guilty men who had been sent to prison were released by the governor and others. The general public knows this to be the truth. The peevishness of the governor over expressions of the truth is merely another indication that the record of the governor and his administration is without defense.

Indiana's Needs Indiana wants a governor who will govern In accordance with the constitution, not pardon in acordance with the politicians. Indiana wants a tax board that will levy taxes equally, not increase them horizontally. Indiana wants a highway commission that will build highways, not a political machine. Indiana wants a state administration that will devote its attention to eoverning the state of Indiana, not to the selection ofithe next presidential candidate. Indiana wants a legislature that will legislate in accordance with the desires of the people, not the program of the republican state committee. Summed up, Indiana wants relief from Goodrichism and centralization. The republicans of Indiana started out boldly to pledge such relief as a prelude to asking for' a continuation in power. They failed to get their pledge past the republican state convention because it Vvas controlled by J. P. Goodrich and Charles W. Jewett. The democrats of Indiana will be in convention assembled this week. They will either pledge these measures of relief to the voters of the state or they will convince the whole state that there is no relief from either the republican or the democratic parties. Relief is what the people of Indiana want and what they will eventually obtain. The republican party can not even pledge it. The democratic party must pledge it For if there is to be no difference between the attitude of the republican and the attitude of the democratic party there will be no excuse for the existence of both. And there are enough-independent voters in Indiana to constitute another party.

Hoist by His Own Petard Comes now Mr. R. G. Minton of the Anti-Saloon league and proves by the force of his logic that Thomas R. Marshall, our vice presidential exponent of Jeffersonianism, has mistaken the meaning of the teachings of Thomas Jefferson and in his most recent bid for national publicity has sought to dose the country with something that Thomas Jefferson never, never advocated. Somehow we have had a feeling that if Tom Marshall continued to talk long enough he would force some searcher Into the realms of the past to read sufficiently of the life of Jefferson to be in a position to controvert his statements. It nearly always happens that sooner or later "doubting Thom&o” brings forth facts that puncture the soap bubbles from a publicity seeker’s pipe. A sense of tolerance for Mr. Marshall doubtless prevented many from rising to denounce as -undemocratic, un-American and unseasonable, Mr Marshall’s theory that the people of the United States ever Intended to set up a supreme council consisting of their representatives to govern them without regard for their wishes but with respect only to those things which the representatives believed were good for them. Some people do not appear to have tolerance developed to such a high degree, and among them is Mr. Minton, who rises to show that Thomas Jefferson once said: “It is this egoism of their agents that Is feeding the fires of radicalism today. . . When the egotism of our rulers leads them to ignore the wishes and desires of the majority of the people. It breeds unrest and hostility to government” Thus, it would appear, that Mr. Marshall is repudiated by the very master whose teachings he pretends to spread. And this, we submit, makes the repudiation unanimous.

Railroads Break Down Again If the appeal of the private owners of railroads for federal assistance in relieving the freight congestion means anything at all it means that the railroads, under private ownership, have begun to realize the necessity of government control. Once before the railroads reached a point where they could no longer function satisfactorily. That was in war time and the failure of the railroads would have been a world’s calamity. The government acted swiftly and the menance to the allies was averted by federal direction. There is no war menace now, but the industrial situation in the United States is almost as important. The railroads, as the commercial arteries of the body politic, must be kept open. Apparently their owners are unable to keep them clear. Hence the appeal for federal assistance. The present situation of the railroads promises not only- to be a complete Vindication of the taking over of the roads during the war but a conclusive demonstration that only under proper government control ‘cin the system be safely operated. It is particularly interesting now to recall that in his discussion of the present railroad legislation, William G. McAdoo, who saved the railroads during the war, declared less than six months ago that before a year ’elapsed the railroads would be begging government assistance in operation. The republican congress enacted the present railroad bill. It was promised that Its provisions would be sufficient to care for an emergency such as now confronts the country. * ' As Mr. McAdoo predicted the eniergency has arrived. The railroad bill is noiA up to itA crucial test.

New York’s View of Indiana Republicans The Indiana republicans deserve credit for their straight-out declaration against the league of nations. They are willing to make it a clear-cut issue, and any symptoms of ordinary intellectual hon.esty In American politics are doubly to be welcomed. 'Gen. Leonard Wood may have won the four delegates-at-large from Indiana, but Senator Hiram Johnson won the platform on which the republicans of that state ‘‘declare our absolute opposition to the covenant of the league es nations as submitted by the president” and "fully approve the action of the republicans of the senate in-resisting its adoption.” Indiana is the state of Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee. For weeks Mr. Hays has been at work -with the elder statesmen of the republican party in framing a league of nations plank on which the republican national convention would be willing to stand. The Indiana platform may be accepted In the main as the Chicago platform. The irreconcilable® who complain that it does ndt go far enough to satisfy them are plainly masking their exultation for strategic reasons. The platform is a complete exposition of Mr. Hays's 100 per cent American hog doctrine that "we are .more Interested in the stomachs of our people than In the hearts of the world." At the outset the Indiana republicans pay perhaps the finest tribute to President Wilson that the members of an opposition party ever paid to a president in power. They accuse him of “having insisted on making and forced the representatives of the associated powers to adopt the covenant of the league of nations assn integral part of tire peace treaty." This is not quite correct; the associated powers finally adopted the covenant of the league of nations because they discovered that the president was right when he told them that otherwise their treaty could not be executed, but this is a mere detail. In the main their indictment is a true bill. President Wilson forced the covenant'into the treaty. The league of nations is his work, and is represents the longest step forward that has ever been taken in international relations. If the■ Indiana republicans are determined that j he shall have the sole credit for the most enlightened piece of statesmanship since j the abolition of human slavery, well and good. . t

The president can proudly accept their accusations along with their blanket Indorsement of all the republican senators who have been engaged In wrecking the treaty, reservatlonlsts and bitter-enders alike. It la well that the Indiana republicans should have lumped them together. They belong together. They may have had their differences a9 to methoi, but they have pursued the *ame object which was the mutilation of the covenant and such a repudiation of tb<moral and legal obligations of the United States as to make the league unworkable. N'o political convention can ever be quite sincere, and so the Indiana re publicans, after declaring against the league of nations, adopted a resolution favoring “the Judicial settlement of International disputes” and the “esrab Ushmcnt- of a world court to administer International Justice.” The only world court that It la possible to achieve Is that established by the covenant of the league of nations, and in their "absolute opposition” to the covenant of the league, the Indiana republicans have set themselves against the world court that they pre tend to favor: but be that as It may. they have helped clarify the Issue, and make It the easier to sub nit the treaty of peace to that “great and solemn ref erendum” which all republicans derided when It was first suggested by the president. Whatever the rank and file of the republican voters may thick, the republican politician* are becoming more and more open In their antagonism to the league of nations. This Is not to be regretted If they will put the party squarely on record as the Indiana convention has done. There is no other way In which any issue can be decided at the polls, and decided Intelligently If Hirora Johnson’s fight against the league la forcing the republicans to stop trimming and take a deflniate stand, to that estent Hiram Johnsqn has performed an eminent public service and deserves well of the country.—The New York World.

CONCERNING TEDDY, A DOG ACTOR Walker Players Arrive—Rogers at Smiths

There’s a shadow of a dog-gone good actor In town this week. The shadow belongs to Teddy, a big dog who makes his home In and about Mack Sennett’s fun palace in Los Angeles, Cal. His ability as a screen ‘‘actor ’ Is being reflected this week at the Circle in the Sennett comedy, “Down on the Farm.” Just how Sennett managed to induce this wonderful dog to act just like a real dog is hard to guess, but it is safe to say that Sennett has succeeded in photographing Tpddy and his pals, including a little boy called little John Henry, Jr., a flock of geese and some strutlng turkeys as they appear in real life down on a farm. > Teddy has a fight with a goose, saves little Henry from falling off of a plank into a roaring body of water and has a great time taking care of barnyard chickens and ducks. A dog always has a strong appeal and when a canine Is the protector of a little boy the appeal is even stronger. Some may contend that “Down on the Farm” is too long, as it requires five reels to present It, but the writer can not agree. "Down on the Farm” Is the BarnumBailey of the movies and will tickle the children into the ninth heaven of wonderland and please the older folk as well. At tfie Circle all week. -1- -I- -I--BTOCK PLAYERS HERE.
