CHORUS GIRL says she married a millionaire s son for a lark. Now he Is a sad bird. THE TREATY of peace may be a pleee-of a treaty before the Senate is done vith it. PERHAPS if more of the police were National Guard officers, bootleggers would not find such easy egress into Indianapolis. ATTORNEY GENERAL Lesh’s report that Indiana Is "extra dry," unfortunately, was based upon the number of convictions and not upon the number of bootleggers. v NO DOUBT many Republicans would welcome an expression on public questions from Woodrow Wilson—it might serve to turn public attention from their own difficulties. CONGRESS must be as wearing on the President as it is on the rest of us. Hr. Harding had barely returned from a vacation trip when it was announced that he may even leave the country by going to Rio de Janeiro. COMPLAINT has been made to Mayor Shank that former service men seeking political office are using the National Disabled Soldiers’ League headquarters as a vantage point from which to belittle the Harding Administration. Perhaps they were only discussing the condition of the disabled soldiers. , A Settled Issue Raised The announcements of Joseph P. Turk and John M. Maxwell that they will seek seats in Congress and the Indiana House of Representatives respectively as “wets” has confronted thinking Democrats with anew menace that seeks to divert the party from the righ ideals It has always maintained. If the Democratic party was casting about for proper timber to fill these important places it Is not likely, In the usual run of campaigns, that it would have alighted on either of these men, yet using the prerogatives that can be denied no man or woman of voting age in this country, Hhey have elected to place their personal hobbles before the people and are attempting to cloak their designs with a garment of party approval. ft is unfortunate that the Democrats, with prospects for success in November growing brighter every day by virtue of the manifest failure of the opposition to perform faithfully and well the trust Imposed on It by the electorate, should now have to bear the stigma of two candidates who are seeking to raise an already settled issue. The ratification of the eighteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution settled for all time to come the “wet” and "dry” Issue in the United States and any attempt to abrogate or nullify the direct mandate of the people should be looked upon with grave suspicion and concern. It is to negative and vitiate the Constitution of the United States that Mr. Turk seeks to enter the halls of Congress where, before taking nis seat, he would be required to swear to an oath to uphold the very Constitution which he would seek to destroy. Mr. Maxwell, as his co-partner, seeks to ease the stringent “dry law” in Indiana and elects himself spokesman for imaginary and mythical physicians in pleading for a loophole by which they would be allowed to prescribe liquor for their patients. His is a very apparent move to open up the flood gates for the illicit and wholesale distribution of Intoxicating liquor in Indiana. The Democratic party has a distinct mission to perfomv this year and should dedicate all of its resources and summon all of Its ability to the end that this may be accomplished. It cannot perform this mission If it selects candidates whose.announced purpose is to father destructive legislation. It should sponsor candidates who have In mind constructive measures for /which the country is appealing. Nor will It lend enhancement to the rising cause of democracy if the party allows its name to be borrowed and used in a cause so illogical and so certainly doomed to failure. Mr. Beveridge Paves the Way How it must have hurt the “sweet tempered and level-headed” (as he admonishes his followers to be) Mr. Beveridge to discuss Senator News senatorial record in a speech at Richmond last night. One can almost feel the excruciating pain he suffered when he -was “forced” to read from the Congressional Record “specifications” that feature his opponent in no enviable light. Mr. Beveridge insists that he became personal because Senator New’s "record Is constantly, stridently and almost impolitely thrust upon us,” and coupled with the expose came the threat further disclosures are imminent. “I repeat for the thi’-d time that I will not go into this matter unless absolutely forced to do so,” he declared, "and I call all Republicans to witness that if I am thus compelled, the discussion will not be my fault" If Mr. Beveridge Is in possession of facta concerning his opponent that would be of vital interest in determining the reasoning by which a voter makes his choice for a possible United States Senator he otfes it to the people to take them into his confidence. .some very important “farm bloc” measures were passed, Mr. Beveridge r disclosed that his opponent’s chief activity In behalf of the farmers was when he sponsored an amendment to the emergency tariff measure placing a prohibitive tariff on imported airplanes. “So ended my opponent's constructive effort to aid American agriculture by imposing a high protective tariff on foreign airplares,” ho .said in commenting on the death of the New proposal. Senator New has been in the United States Senate for six years and -his conduct there is a matter of record and on this he is basing his claim , for renomination. Mr. Beveridge is well within his rights If he analizes that record and Colds it up for public view, and this being true it was perhaps needless for him to defend his action by declaring, “I would not have mentioned ieven that part if his well-meaning, but perhaps not equally well-informed, •agents did not continuously belabor us with adjectives about his record." It is too much to expect that the army of New workers will cease funder threat the discussion of his real or a manufactured senatorial recLord. Therefore, Mr. Beveridge, having exonerated himself from all blame 'if obliged to take his adversary to task, may be expected to further en- • lighten the public in regard to the Senator’s official activities, information ’ to which they are Justly entitled, no matter from what camps it emanates. * —— Long Expected Order Comes . ! After one year in office President Harding has ordered the American 'troops occupying German territory to come home, althbugh in a campaigu speech at Des Moines he had promised that the withdrawal would almost with his inauguration. ’• The removal of the American flag from Germany will be the breaking lof the final military tie that binds the_United States to its allies of the late war and means that henceforth if German land is to be occupied by conquering troops it must be done solely by European nations. The fact that the allies are disposed to haggle over America's demand ffor $241,000,000 due to this country for the Rhineland occupation probably the President In his decision. The expenses of the troops were being borne from the reparation fund paid by Germany. Economists frequently have 6hown that Germany is a vital factor In re-established conditions and that as as It .Is obliged to pay huge Indemnities just that [long will the world be denied a market In a rehabilitated and buying ‘.country. ” The withdrawal of American armed forces from the Rhine will have ||lhe effect not only of relieving Germany of a huge burden, but it will sen e prompt and inescapable notice upon the allies that the United States Is not disposed to quibble and parley over a question It believes fundamentally right—the payment of the occupation from reparations fund.

Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company.) By RAYMOND CARROLL,

NEW YORK, March 21.—ThfS Is the only city in the United States that has a local parole system. It was founded by an exceedingly talented woman—Dr. Katherine B. Davis, now head of the bureau of social hygiene of the Rockefeller foundation. In view of the constant hue and cry being raised that ex-crimi-nals are at the bottom of all new crime, we went to James J. Flynn, chief parole officer of this New York parole commission, for the facts. “The Indeterminate sentence law has been in force six years and the results achieved so far bear out the most sanguine expectations,” he said. “Since its enactment 2,682 men and boys from reformatories, 8,769 adults from penal Institutions, of which 373 were women, and 1.798 adults from , the workhouse, of which 1.062 were women-a total of 13,249 —have had the restraining influence of the parole system upon their conduct and habits. Our records show that at least SO per cent have been permanently restored to the ways of well-ordered society.” Mr. Flynn was asked how many former wrongdoers were under the present supervision jjf the New York parole commission. lie replied. “Exactly 1,474, of whom 115 are women. They report In person twice a month, usually evenings, to members of my parole staff, which consists of three isenior parole officers and thirty four ordinary parole officers. Five of the parole officers are -women. We have two negro parole officers, a man and a woman, who receive their reports at stated intervals at the rooms of the Urban League in Seventh avenue, which is in the heart of the colored district of Manhattan. Altogether there are about twenty places

in the greater city where the probatlonaries make their reports—the basements of four public libraries, a children’s court in the Bronx not used at night, several Y. M C. A. buildings, a number of recue missions and the rest in settlement houses upon the lower cast side and west side o.' Manhattan. “Every week-day morning all of the parole officers meet down here with. me. on the twenty-fifth floor of the Municipal building and we go over each previous day’s ironk together ami take up the future The city is divided Into districts and we know to a detail the conduct of the released prisoners, where they live and what they are doing—all this to the pVotection of society and the reclamation of the recidivists.” The work of the parole officer starts shortly after the prisoner, who is subsequently to report to that officer, has been received nt the penal institution. The faets then ascertained include not only a complete report as to the record, health, ability and character of the prisoner, but also the details of the particular offense for which he or she had been committed, as well as the mitigating and aggravating circumstances of the offense. Often parole officers have made reviews of epurt proceedings which -brought to light new facts that resulted in the immediate release of prisoners. In any event each parole officer knows in advance what sort of prisoner is to cone under his Jurisdiction lotig bsfore th > prison terms Is completed. Parrie officers are Instructed not to tolera • any Interference by the police with iielr wards. In fact, whenever a police , fflcer hounds a released prisoner Instruct, .ns are for the ex-wrongdoer to load the detective to the domain of probation. Mr. Flyn cited n case where n probationary actually did this, bringing the detective to the municipal building, where the detective, In a handsojne spirit, apologized to the probationary for having annoyed him in his goings and comings. Mr. Flynn said in conclusion : “Successful results can be achieved only by intelligent directive work on the part of the parole officers, combined with the cooperative help of the different agencies of the community. Two conditions are necessary, however, preliminary to the successful handlingg of the case by the parole oiffeer. First, the offender must feel that his case has been given careful attention and length of sentence has been arrived nt in a spirit of Justlco. Second, the prisoner when released most be In a receptive state of mind for constructive suggestion, and it is incumbent upon the pnro.e officer to impress upon him the absolute, ■necessity to assist in his own reformation.” The parole commission also has an employment officer, Edmund A. Coraans, whose duty Is not only to Cud work for the prisoner when released, but to supply relief In deserving cases to the family of the bread-winner during the prison term. All this establishes quite con elusively that the hand of the law can be used. Jo uplift aa well as punish the leas fortunate of humanity.

Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadetph :a Public Ledger, WASHINGTON, March 21.- M. Georges Clemenceau may be the star of this year's Institute of politics at Williams College. Larry A.

A far-reaching reorganization of the staff In the direction of curtailment is imminent, and several of the yctunger secretaries and attaches who have basked in the sunshine of American life are sadly contemplating separation from it • • • The Herbert Hoover mansion !n 8 street, a door or two from the Woodrow Wilson home, will be occupied for the next week or ten days during the family absence In the West, by Hugh S. Gibson. the American minister to Poland, and his bride. The Gibson* recently reached the Unltod States on a honeymoon tour. Mr. Gibson'* friendship with the Secretary of Commerce dates from the stirring days of American relief in Belgium ■-during the German occupation. • • • Postmaster General Hubert Work recently told how he narrowly escaped becoming a newspaperman Instead of a practicing rhysielan. Upon graduation from the University of Pennsylvania in iSoo. Dr. Work took Horace Grecly’s advice and went West. An uncle of his, Col. Robert Van Horn, the founder of the Katisas City Journal, seemed the surest anchorage in sight for a young man with arabitionT scanty prospects and plenty of debts, whereupon the embryo doctor decided journalism was his bent. He had reached the Rocky Mountains in quest of his future, but the Missouri River was a long way from Greely, Col., so Dr. Work decided, for sundry reasons, mostly financial, not to attempt the Journey to Uncle Van Horn’s sanctum. Thus It was that materiamedlca was spared a talented son. • • • Brig. Gen. Charles G.

5 NEW BRIDGES ON STATE ROADS OPEN TO TRAFFIC New Concrete Structure Spans Lost River in Orange County. Announcement was made today by Lawrence Lyons, director of the State; highway commission, that five new bridges, erected at a total cost of $73.840, all on heavily traveled State roads, were opened to traffic this month. These structures have been under construction during (he winter. Some are of steel and others of concrete. In case of the latter type, the bridges, while being built, were protected by canvas and fires kept constantly burning in salamanders underneath, in order the green concrete might properly set. One of the most important of the group is in Orange County, situated about half way between Paoll and Orleans, on the Dixie highway. This is a three-span, fifty feet to the span, reinforced con- | crete arch structure bridging the famous Lost lilver. The wooden bridge i replaced by this modern structure at a I cost of SIO,OOO, was washed down stream j in the flood of 1913, but reclaimed and I has served its purpose until condemned ! some month* ago. • LARGEST PONY TRUSS | SPAN OVER UMBER LOST, The new steel bridge across the bis- ; torte Llmberlost and Lob streams on the ! State Road from Richmond to Ft. Wayne, | completed at a cost of $19,300.00, Is the ! largest pony truss span ever built by the Indiana highway commission. It is In 'Adams County within sight of the i former home cf Gene Stratton Porter, whose prolific writings brought nationwide fame to the Llmberlost. This structure has a span of 100-feet compared to a 60-foot span of the old bridge I it replaced. | Other bridges opened to traffc on State ! roads this month are: ■ A 48-foot steel span on the White | River Road, Indianapolis to Vincennes, ! five miles south of Martinsville, In Mor- | gan County, cost $5,500. ! A 32-foot steel span, eight miles south ,of Winamac on the Liberty Trail between Logansport and Michigan City in ! Pulaski County; cost 5,000. A double span, eighty feet to the 1 span, re-lnfqrced concrete bridge four miles west of Plainfield in Hendricks ; County on the National Road; cost $26.140. j With the exception of three railroad crossings and one bridge to be erected, ! the*Jatter one-half mile east of Putnamville, ail bridge work on the National 5 Roaj across Indiana is completed. Acj cording to members of the highway comj mission the Putnatnville project, estl- ! mated cost of which is $75,000, is on a re-location and its building later in the year will in no way cause interruption of traffic over the road.

He l* going back to his first love—banking—as chairman of the hoard of the Central Trust Company of Chicago, which lie founded in I©*2. If . there 1* a change in the secretaryship of ! the Treasury during the Harding Ad- * ministration It will be well to keep a | weather eye on Charles Gates Dawes. Ho ! was offered the portfolio before Mr. I Mellon accepted it. • . • President Harding, who is a member of the Loyal Ord<*r of the Moose, has promised his feliow-Moose, James J. Davis, secretary of labor to attend the fraternity's annual lovefeaßt at Mooseheart, Ills., during the week beginning Aug. 20. Mr. Harding expects to be back from Alaska by that time and. political engagements permitting, will pass a full day at the Moose “plant”—a vast modern orphanage and educational Institution. In his honor the children of Mooseheert. will stage a pretentious pageant. A life-like reproduction of the Capitol at Washington will be the background of the presidential reviewing stand. Secretary Davis is thoroughly proud of Mooseheart, which is virtually his personal creation, and he intends making "Harding Day” an event long to remembered. • • • Next year will mark the centenary of the Monroe Doctrine. It was on Dec. 2, 1823 that President James Monroe sent to the Congress of the United States the message that has rung unchallenged down tiie diplomatic ages. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the < Pan-American Union, told the observer that thought is beginning to be turned in the direction of a fitting commemoration. There is little sympathy for a suggested project to make the Centenary of Monroeism an Anglo-American festival, even though it was the British government of the day that first recognized the doctrine. -3Jie overwhelming consensus is that any marking of the event should be distinctively Pan-American. The Fifth Congress of the Republics of the two Americas will be held In Santiago In 1&23. It is thought th# time could be fixed approximately, if not precisely, to Include the anniversary date. From every consideration of political physchology it Is strongly felt In Washington that the commemoration should be on Latln-Aineri-can, rather than North American soil. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
