LET US HOPE that nature succeeds in adjusting herself to this unseasonable weather as well as the public does. IN OTHER DAYS a great many Indiana voters were imported from Paris, 111., but this is first time an Indiana campaign orator was ever sent there to address them? Well, What Next? Expressive of the attitude of a great many Indiana citizens who are “fed-up” on reform movements, generally, is the following which appears in the South Bend News-Times: "Governor Mcßae of Arkansas has set March 22 to be observed as a ‘no tobacco’ day and in his proclamation solemnly asserts, "The general use of tobacco by men and women from youth up, generation after generation, is contributing to unmistakeable and certain degeneracy.” Rather queer note to be sounded from the wilds of Arkansas, which is noted somewhat for its number of illiterates. Had he denounced the tobacco habit as an unnecessary waste of money, it would have a soprano echo of approval. Had he said that it may be detrimental to perfect health, he would have some support from medical experts. But when he declares thaUit is a cause of degeneracy, there will come a chorus of protest from those who have found the Lady Nicotine a soothing mistress in moments of leisure and a pleasant companion in the weary hours. Strange how the race has deteriorated under tobacco. The Indians taught it to the first explorers from Europe and the Indian has gone as a race. Finally got him, of course, while the> conquerers who stayed on to Inherit his habit have degenerated from the era of the log cabin to the puny protection of steam-heated houses, from the robust days of the sailing vessel to the pallid luxury of the gigantic steamship, from the healthy hour of the stage coach to the degenerating era of the Pullman. It has been working through ages, this poison which Sir Walter Raleigh introduced into the courts of England and men now bear the unmistakeable marks of its ravages. They have forgotten to fawn at the feet of queens and prefer to enter voting places puffing at the idols of their mistaken worship. They have shown the "certain degeneracy” in a million ways that; mark the difference between the day when the first inquisitive European followed the example of the Indian chief and betravod a race, and the thing which we call civilization as it is today. That 'degeneracy shows itself in literature, for it inspired Kipling to write his shameless rhyme that "A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.” It shows itself in a thousand ways, but strange, passing strange, that It required the Governor of Arkansas to discover them and publicly proclaim them. And as a further sign of decadence, the very form of expression which fits the occasion is base American slang, for the man on the street j will inevitably ask, "How do they get that way?"

The Struggle Starts Announcement of the personnel of the State organization of the supporters of Albert J. Beveridge for United States Senator indicates the immediate start of a campaign for the Republican nomination that will doubtless attract attention to Indiana from the whole United States. Senator New, in his fight for renomination, has given indications that he will expect support to come to him as support of the Harding Administration in which he has piayed an important part. Mr. Beveridge’s friends have indicated that his candidacy will be in the nature of a response to a general demand for a change, from a constituency that is by no means satisfied with its stewards In such a fight the Senator can reasonably expect assistance from the National Administration and the strength of this assistance will prove an offset to the undeniable popularity of Mr. Beveridge among the Republicans of the State. Beyond all doubt the chances of Senator New in the primaries would be greatly enhanced by a first-class “scrap” among the Democrats of the State over their nominee. Such a fight would probably keep in the Democratic primary a great many votes that are likely to to the support of Mr. Beveridge. The former Senator has received the greater share of his publicity from Democratic papers up to the present time and it Is not unlikely that he will benefit by many votes that will cast in the primaries by those who would help select a Democratic nominee were there a contest for the place. But it does not seem likely that there will be any great contest among the Democrats for the honor of opposing eitther Mr. New or Mr. Beveridge. Samuel M. Ralston is looked upon generally as the choice of his party for the nomination and he will not have any formidable opposition if he announces his candidacy. The ex-Governor is understood to be torn between a desire to respond to his party’s wish and a consideration of his personal fortunes with his well-known love for his party exerting the strongest urge. Mr. Ralston’s chances of election grow’ stronger as the Republicans prepare to fight each other for the nomination. There is an ever-growing possibility that this State of Indiana, long regarded by the Republicans as “safe,” will return, this year, to the position-it once held as a “doubtful,” and indicative of the trend of the Nation. Protecting the Monument That the people who live elsewhere in Indiana than the capital entertain a great interest in the soldiers and sailors monument' is wellknown. That this interest transcends that of Indianapolis citizens has frequently been asserted. Unquestionably it is great as is evidenced by the following from the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette: “It Is gratifying to find that the monument commission in Indianapolis is seeking an agreement with the property owmers on the Circle which will remove the danger of the future construction of such buildings there as would detract from the setting of the soldiers’ and sailors’ monument, either through the height of the buildings or the poor architecture. It is probable that no difficulty of an insurmountable kind will be encountered. The suggestion of Colonel Perry that all buildings to be erected on the Circle in the future should be constructed of Bedford stone is a good one. It would harmonize with the monument It has been said that the property owners can not be expected to erect more expensive buildings than the returns would w’arrant This, of course, is true; but the commercial advantages of the Circle are such that good returns can be expected. It would be a pity to spoil the monument by indiscriminate buildings around it, and-it is a subject in w’hich not only Indianapolis but the entire State has a proper interest. The monument was built by the State and not by the capital city.” Why the Curb Market? Protest of curb standholders against an increase in rentals amounting to fifty cents for their places on market only serve to arouse the question of why there should be curb stands at all. Certainly they would be superfluoua if the market house itself w’ere conducted along the lines for which it w’as established and which were recently recommended by the Woman’s Department Club. As conditions exist today, the market house itself is largely controlled by standowmers who operate stands as adjuncts to their retail business, rejoicing in the fact that they may market their wares at the same prices they receive in their other stoYes and at the same time evade taxes and high rents. The presence of these standholders and their monopoly on the market has compelle’d less fortunate merchants and traders and practically all the producers to seek space on the curb where they have been charged a nominal fee which has recently been doubled. However, one dollar a stand can hardly be regarded as a fee that w’ill make any appreciable difference in the prices of focdstuff’s to the consumers and complaints concerning it only tend tp brirre into relief the fact that these curb standholders are curb standhoJdprs because they have been forced out of the market house where tht\BCreally belong.

Brands Government Most Merciless of Employers Machinists 9 Chief Says Discharge of Navy Yard Workers Unjust.

WASHINGTON, Feb 10.—Branding the Government as "the most merciless, inhumane and unreasonable" of all employers, William 11. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists, today declared he would carry to the White House his protest against the "unethical S'-tlon” of the Navy Department in peremptorily dismissing 20 per cent of the personnel of the Navy Yards. Sixteen thousand machinists In Government yards will be affected by the order of the Secretary of the Navy and sympathetically It will affect 35,000 workers In other trades and ultimately militate against the well being of more than a hundred thousand workmen engaged in private plants, Johnston declared. IVOHKMEX SWEPT INTO UNEMPLOYMENT BANKS. “Without a word of warning, without a material or sentimental care for its loyal workmen, the Government has swept Into the growing army of the unemployed thousands of honest workers,” Johnson said. “America is shamed by the action oi the Japanese imperial government," Johnston said, “for that new civilization of the Orient, while acting In accordance with the decisions of the Washington conference to reduce naval armaments, nevertheless Is taking the utmost eare of such employes whose dismissal from the government’s service is necessary in reducing personnel, Japan, Johnston said, knows better than to flirt with the dangers of a nation of unemployed. “This Is the most heartless thing that I have witnessed in thirty years’ experience in industrial life,” Johnston said. "Even private employers, engaged in business for profits, would be at least humane enough to give some advance notice to men about to be dismissed wholesale, or permit them to continue until the situation had eased perceptibly. But In the Navy Department's ungenerous and inconsiderate act, which had all the earmarks of swift vengeance visited upon men doing an honest day’s work, there were no palliating circumstances. DISMISSED WITHOUT MOMENT’S WARNING. “At the Washington Navy Yard, where 1,500 machinists are employed, all of them reported to work yesterday morning, unsuspecting that they would be dismissed, and on arrival at their benches they were summarily notified that they were to go home and not report for work until June 30.” Johnston declared be Is negotiating

enthusiasm with which this production Is 1 being received by the American public. ‘•This second success of my book fills me with Joy and pride because I see it now serving the cause of humanity anew by demonstrating In plastic form the horrors of war and the dangers of a brutal militarism. ‘‘l am not surprised that Metro has won this great triumph. Only an American firm could carry such a gigantic plan to completion. The most generous ans unselfish movements In behalf of human liberty have always come from the United States. The allies eucceeded In destroying German militarism by dint of heroic sacrifice; but to the great American republic belongs the glory of delivering the final blow in the swiftest, most powerful war effort known to history. "It Is my hopo that this yery Important film produced by the Metro will contribute to the spreading throughout the earth of love and liberty, respect for human life, and hatred of despotism and war. "It 1s one of the greatest satisfactions of ray literary career to realize that a book of mine has been used as a basis for such splendid achievement in photography. and that this achievement should represent at the same time a great educational foreo In the Interests of one of the noblest of causes." June Mathis wrote the scenario for "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” It was photographed by John B. Seitz.

If no promise | of action is forthcoming, he said, the , matter will be presented to the Secre tary of the Nary and in all probability ! directly to President Harding unless the order Is rescinded or modified greatly. Johhston asserted that the unemployment situation has grown worse in the past six months and that this unfair order serves only to extend the national industrial stagnation. Ho branded the recent Hoover unemployment conference "the most useless conference ever gathered.” "It ran amuck of Us purpose," he said; "it adopted many high sounding resolutions. but accomplished nothing and that nothing was done up in a tinsel of words.” Air Service Asks for Photographers Announcement is made by Lieut.

REPORT POOR PROSPECT FOR WHEAT CROP t Advices From Southwest Indicate Yield Will Be / Slight. CHICAGO, 'Feb. 10.—Prospect for the new wheat crop are poorest In history, B. W. Snow, Chicago Board of Trade operator and market expert, said today. The world will feel a severe pinch for wheat before the 1922 crop comes In, according to present indications, Snow said in an interview. This Is due to the fact that last year’s production of wheat In the United States was relatively small. Also, from the limited supplies in America’s granaries, more wheat was exported to Europe than any time in history, board of trade figures show. "The wheat crop in the Southwest Is "Lack of snow together with wind, sand and dust storms leads to the belief that prospects for tbe crop are poorest in history.” .Consumption of much of the available wheat and prospects for a slim production this year were reflected in future dealings on the Chicago Board of Trade. The upward trend of May and July wheat started about two weeks ago on receipt of news from the southwest that crop conditions were decidedly unfavorable. With no Improvement in sight quotations have gone generally higher sines then. Better prices for the available wheat supply and the prospect of high prices for the new crop will spell prosperity for many farmers. Tbe advance In prices Is also expected to increase the acreage in spring wheat which is sown In April. DEMOCRATS TO ASSAIL G. O. P. ‘AIMLESSNESS* (Continued From Page One.) posts are preparing to assail the G. O. P. strongholds in every congressional district of the land on the following platform ; 1. Broken 1920 campaign promises to restore business, prosperity. 2. Shiftlessness and lack of constructive leadership in both branches of Congress. 3. “Newberrylsra.” 4. Inconsistency of “Dawesism” on the one hand and the "bonus” bill on the other. 5. "Paper economy” as evidenced by latter-day extravagance In Shipping Board management. 6 Exposure of "mock retrenchment" In administration of the Federal Government, as exemplified by the necessity for heavy deficiency bills. 7. Vindication of "Wilsonism” by the success of the Washington conference. 8. ‘‘Remorseful approval” of the League of Nations by the Harding Administration In entering the back door of Geneva by way of the Washington conference. ATTACK NOT TO BE PARTISAN. Perhaps the most significant statement made by Chairman Hull, In the course of his super-cheerful review of the Democratic situation, was that no concertedly partisan attack is going to be made on the conference treaties In the Senate. Mr. Hull intimated Democrats mainly will content themselves, during discussion of the treaties, with pointing out that they constitute "good Wilsonian doctrine.” they will labor the point the pacts of Washington go as far as, and In vital directions no further than, the pact of Versailles. They will argue there Is “surender of sovereignty" here as there was, and had to be, there. They will plead precisely the kind of "super-government” is set up now that

was contemplated by the Lague covenant. | Having labeled the Washington com- j pacts “made at Versailles” snu trade! marked them "Woodrow Wilson,” Demo- j crats will, with individual exceptions,' Join Senator Underwood in voting for them. Before doing so, Choirman Hull j explains, in order they may not commit j the abject heresy of. too whole-hearted- j ly approving Republican statecraft. Democrats will let down a he-vy spell- j binding barrage on the ‘‘shortcomings” l of the conference. Those, the Democratic I campaign chieftain says, are the con- j ference's failure to do more in China and j Russia. Apparently Japan-baiting will j be the order of the day, with an eye on Pacific coast votes in November. Probably the Democrats will not fall to remind Callfo-_,ia her Japanese land ownership * .gey was not banished by ' the Washington conference. “The 1922 campaign finds the Democratic party,’’ said Mr. Hull “confronted by an unprecedented embarrassment of riches in the shape of material manufactured for us by our friends, the enemy. If we put up the right kind of candidates and can patch up some of onr factional squabbles, such as those prevailing In Pennsylvania, we ought to play havoc with the Republican majority In Congress. Our prospects as to the House are overwhelmingly bright. We expect more than to hold onr own in the Senate. We count confidently on a significant rebuke for the Republican Administration in Ohio where Senator Pomerene seems certain of triumphant re-election. NEW ENGLAND IS FOMFESTIVE. “I am deriving the most comfort from news coming from Republican country like New England. Dissatisfaction In that region with Administration and congressional Inadequacy to deal with the pressing economic situation, either at home or abroad, is going to send many G. O.

torial scraps In Republican history, holds out hope of a Democratic Victory. “The farmer, the mechanic and the business man, the great triumvirate of the American electorate, are in bitterly punitive mood toward the Republican party.
