JAPAN AT GENEVA mT LOOKS as if the League of Nations had emerged from its sessions at Geneva more powerful than ever. Those who started bonfires of joy over its certain doom when Japan was threatening to quit unless its views on exclusion from America were accepted', now realize they shouted too oon. In fact, though America was willfully absent from this, one of the greatest international gatherings in the history of mankind the league gave justice to American interests in a way that should heap coals of fire on the heads of that institution s worst enemies. Boiled down, what happened was this: The league commission, in drawing up plans to safeguard the peace of the world through arbitration, international security and armament reduction, agreed—without naming names — that if Japan ever went to war with the United States over immieration after immigration had been declared an American ‘domestic” problem, she would automatically be declared the aggressor and stand outlawed accordingly. With everybody in Japan howling for punishment of the United States sot excluding Japanese immigrants, the Japanese delegates at Geneva naturally objected. They wanted the league to interfere anyway, even if immigration in America was purely America’s business. And she threatened to walk out unless the league complied. Then came the compromise. Under it, even if the world court should decide against Japan, she would have the right to bring up the question again before the League of Nations. And the league, acting under its covenant, would be bound to try to avoid a conflict. The fundamental principles, therefore, have not been altered an iota. If the league could find no formula satisfying both the United States and Japan, and Japan insisted o ngoing to war, she would still be declared the aggressor and suffervthe outlaw penalties accordingly. We lose nothing and gain additional security against war with Japan as a result of the doings at Geneva. WHO’S A GOOD SPORT? { ALIFORNIA and Wisconsin, with Louisiana and Michi- ] gan coming on, show a nice contrast in the matter of playing the big political game. In California, the Supreme Court, by a 4-3 vote, twists the election laws and throws La Follette otf the ticket. In Louisiana and Michigan the tiny technicalities of the law are being invoked to bar La Follette from the ticket. In Wisconsin, with complete control of the regular Republican State organization, Coolidge is given the regular place and La Follette takes his place on the Independent ticket. It isn’t hard to see which course is good sportmanship.

BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION HIE CONSTITUTION of the United States, as it was drafted in 1787, did not give the Supreme Court the power to declare laws unconstitutionla. The convention which met at Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia. and which framed the Constitution of the United States, debated the question whether the courts should be given the power to declare laws unconstitutional. It decided that judges should not be given this power. The Constitution, as it was finally adopted by the convention and ratified by the States, did not contain any clause giving the courts this power. The Constitution has never been amended to give the courts this power. But beginning with Chief Justice Marshall, who served from 1801 to 1835, the courts began to assume the right to declare laws invalid—in other words, the judges usurped the power to make laws, which the Constitution intended only Congress to have. Recently the Supreme Court has knocked out the income tax law, the child labor law, and the woman’s minimum wage law. This has caused many people to think that something should be done about it. So La Follette and the Progressives propose to add an amendment to the Constitution giving Congress the right to pass a law over the veto of the Supreme Court. They want Congress, whose members are elected by the people, solely to have the lawmaking power, and to limit the Supreme Court to its original and proper function of trying cases appealed from the lower courts, as the Constitution of 1787 intended. La Follette and the Progressives want to preserve the American system of Government. They want to go back to the Constitution of the Fathers.

Tom Sims Says Thousands of moths, specializing on bathing suits, will starve soon. Four yards of short skirt can look more interesting than half a yard of bathing suit.

The ship of state might do something about the state of ships. The man who spends his Ufa making faces at the devil soon begins to look like the devil.

NEXT! ——*■ Pipes By HAL COCHRAN I get a real kick out of watchin’ dad smoke, he seems to enjoy it so much. Through hours of jes' puffin’ he’ll leisurely poke as he gets the real satisfied touch. He'll sink in a chair and just close his eyes and drag till the pipe stem starts singin.’ The great rings of smoke will eventually rise and you wonder what dreams they are bringin.’ Tobacco runs low and he opens his pouch and he fills up the pipe bowl once more. He lights it and then once again he will slouch as another puff session’s In store. You'd think that a feMow who smokes with such joy would pick out a pipe that costs dough, but dad says, “a corncob's the finest, my boy,’’ and he’s sure in position to know.

BASIC Is A W MAN-MADE, SAYS QUICK Declares Lawyers Mold Provisions to Benefit ! Interests, By HERBERT QUICK L_yi HO is there that believes this \X/i plea by Coolidge, Dawes and I Y ' I Davis for the Constitution as the guaranty of freedom, has anything in it for the freedom of the common man? It is a man-made Constitution. And it provides for courts which are not elective. Its provisions which ard so lauded as safeguards of 'liberty are all the time molded and bent and altered by these courts manned by mere men who have been nearly all hold office for life. Freedom of Interests Any thinker can see that under such conditions the freedom which must be protected will be the freedom of the great interests: and that the freedom of the common man is to the same extent taken from him. And that is just what has been happening for decades. Mr. Dawes had to order ou£ his “Minute-Men” to re-elect Judge Holdom in Illinois who had handed down that decision which let Dawes’ bank escape from the penalties of helping William Lorimer fleece the people who put their money in the Lorimer bank. Dawes, Davis And Coolidge do not want elective judges. They prefer the sort of judge that Daugherty put on the Federal bench who issued that fearful injunction against the railroad strikers. These men prefer court decisions handed down by men serving for life rather than by judges who are forced to go back to the people for re-election. In other words, they prefer a Judiflal oligarchy rather than a democracy. In a recent book Hilliare Belloc, an able British writer, says that the Americans worship the Constitution. Why Not Criticise? If so, it is a very portentious thing. When any controlling part of any government becomes an object of worship, it ceases to be a thing which can be criticsed. This election will prove to what extent we worship the • .'institution. And just to the extent which we worship it or any other part of our Government, we have ceased to be "free. No other people in the world would for a single year endure a system of courts which could not be changed by their votes, or which dared to stand permanently In the way of the will of the people in their Congress assembled.

WOMEN MA Y DECIDE THE PRESIDENCY Percentage of Feminine Votes Expected to Increase, Time* Wnnhinnton Rureau, 13H3 S'nc York Air. rrraASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The \a/ next presidential elec‘ion may - " 1 be decided by a million and a half women who have never before voted for a President. In 1920, somewhere around 43 per cent of the women entitled to vote cast ballots. This year there has been a heavy registration of women in all parts of ’.he country, and there is every indication that women are going to go in large numbers to the polls. There are 23,994.580 native and naturalized white women of voting ago in the country. Their vote in the 1920 election amounted to 37 per cent of,the total vote cast. This year it will probably go up to some thing like 45 per cent of the total vote cast. Registration Separate The figures are from a survey and analysis of the woman vote compiled by Simon Michelet. Washington attorney. Many cities and States have se]>arate registration for men and women and other election officials have che6ked up by noting first names on registration lists. Western women. It was discovered, are more interested in voting than are easterners. Mountain States had the largest percentage of woman voters, and Pacific States the next. Middle Atlantic States had the poorest record. As an indication of what may be expected this year, the following figures are given: Percentage Grows In 1920. Vermont women cast only 30 per cent of the Vermont vote. Their registration now has increased to 42 per cent of the total registration. In Boston there are as many women registered this year as men. In the Los Angeles primaries this year 45 per cent of the city voters and 48 per cent of the county voters were women. Portland. Ore., shows 42 per cent of Its registered voters are women. In Topeka, Kan., the percentage Is* 44. The Interest in national affairs has extended to southern women as well. Women compose 45 per cent of the registered voters fn Baton Rouge, La.

1 j J-Toosi^erisms j BY GAYLORD NELSON AJTURDAY marks t' 3 hectic beginning of the frenzied end of the 1924 baseball seitson. Then starts the world's series l>etween the New York Giants and the Washington Senators. Riots, murders, and national politics will have only a pallid Interest for the time being. The spotlight belongs to bast-ball. And it is well. For baseball is our national sport in a real sense. Not from the number of men actually engaging in it, but from the universal interest aroused, and the closeness with which it is followed by the public. In this country it Is watched, known and talked more than any other sport. The hold it has is real, and will continue, with all classes, so long as baseball remains the clean, square sport it is. It is fashionable for some lofty minds to sneer at this hold of baseball qn the American public. But it is easy to sneer at unytlting if one is a good sneerer and tries hard. And the event in Washington tomorrow afternoon will be followed by many people in Indianapolis with an interest and intentness they wouldn’t bet tow on a presidential campaign or the Leopold-Loeb trial. Many would rather have a bleacher seat and see Walter Johnson pitch in a world series game than to have a box seat at the battle of the Marne. And they are right.

Exposition i >Mt >RRO\V night, at 8 o’clock, the second Indianapolis industrial exposition will open to the public. It will be held in the new exposition building at the State fairground. The first exposition in 1921, held in the largest building then available at the fairground, was cramped for roomAnd the new exposition building, which covers an area of 3.6 acres—and which is one of the biggest strucjjtres of its kind in the country —is none too large to house the exhibits of the diversified industries of the city at this second exposition. As the visitor who traverses its more than a mile of aisles will discover. Four hundred and thirty-seven exhibit spaces are provided—and every one will be taken with an exhibit of some industry that adds, to our civic wealth and prosperity. Most people of Indianapolis think they are already familiar with the city. Perhaps they are. They may know Its streets, its buildings, its parks, and its physical aspects. But the exposition will teach every visitor something he did not know previously of the city. For there will be laid bare the Industrial heart of the community, which pumps life and vigor into- every artery of civic life. And without which the city could not exist. It is an opportunity no person should overlook, to become better acquainted with Indianapolis and its varied industries. Game 1111 l State department of conservation announced yesterday that 7.600 acres in Brown County is being acquired for a State game preserve. With this tract, the State will have over 15.000 acres In sanctuaries for wild life. All acquired since 1916. Game In the early days of Indiana was as prevalent its the ague. But, with the onward march of so-called civilization, both * have nearly vanished. Now Instead of deer we -.have dearies. An enlightened conservation policy —which acquires tracts of nonagricultural land throughout the State to serve as sanctuaries for the preservation and propagation of our vanishing wild life—should have the Indorsement of all. For theso tracts become natural playgrounds for the people. They delight not only the sportsman and nature lover of today, but they will save for the en-

joyment of future generations some thing of the charm and beauty of Indiana out-of-doors. And the conservation policy appeals to the taxpayer because it costs nothing. Sale of hunting and fishing licenses pays the department’s expenses. But not all the wild life in the State will seek the 15,000 acres of State sanctuaries, i A good deal of bold, wild life is on the streets of Indianapolis. And the conservation department doesn't have to preserve it. That wild life can look after itself. Actors UARLKTON GUY, director of dramatics in the city recre —ation department, is ready to receive applications in the dramatic class to be started soon. There should be plenty of applicants. For acting of some sort is one of the favorite indulgences of the human race. And some members of it are pretty ratten actors. But all of us do a lot of acting, and, throughout life, more or less play a part. Pretense is our middle name. This histrionic talent seldom finds expression on the stage or screen—although many have nursed secret ambitions at some time to knock ’em cold on Broadway or start a conagration in Hollywood. Who ended up by punching a clock. But most of us are content to do our pretending right along with our daily business. We know, however, that, given the chance, we could star as Macbeth, Falstaff or Juliet. Or all three. And, if one feels an uncontrollable desire to act on the stage, the dramatic class offers a safe outlet for the emotion. Know Indiana Where was “old Sac Trail?” From La Porte to Hickory Creek, 111., passing Cedar Lake. When was La Porte County organized? In 1832, with 100 families. What and where was the earliest church organization in Indiana? The Catholic, at Vincennes.
