CAL, THE CONSTITUTIONALIST SN A TELEGRAM to the California World War veterans, the President warns “that, now when the Constitution is in danger, when the rights of the weak, of the individual, are proposed to be put in jeopardy by destroying the Supreme Court, when the property of the weak is in danger of confiscation by the same process, the service men will resist all such proposals.” # Let’s figure a minute: “The Constitution is in danger,” etc., says Coolidge. Means the Invisible Government, which takes what it wants with the ruthless aid of the Falls, the Daughertys and the Forbses in public service ? “The rights of the weak . . . in jeopardy,” etc. Meaning the children who labor long in mills and the women who are denied a minimum wage by the decision of a single Supreme Court justice? “The property of the weak is in danger of confiscation . . .” Poor, weak, gentle Wall Street, whose bulls and bears and wolves chaw at the wealth of the country regularly and who, on the word of Senator Lodge, put up 90 per cent of the campaign funds of the party which is trying to re-elect Coolidge President. No, these menaces alarm not Calvin, the Callous Constitution Defender. His bogie is the popular La Follette-Wheeler movement. His “warning’’ was to scare up votes for himself in November. * . . As political science, it is about the cheapest campaign stunt yet pulled, for the President knows that there lives no more sincere constitutionalist than Robert M. La Follette, and he knows furthermore that all La Follette and the Progressives propose to do to the Supreme Court is to give the people a chance to modernize its methods through the regular Constitutional way —if they, The People, want to do so. FEOM THE TOMB OF T. R. mHE COUNTRY owes a debt of gratitude to Prof. Tyler Dennett, lecturer on history at Johns-Hopkins University. In the midst of the G. O. P.’s pious warnings against America cooperating with other nations to prevent another war lest we be hornswoggled by foreign slickers into “entanglements abroad,” from the tomb of the immortal T. R. himself comes a mighty voice crying: * ‘ Shame! ” Scorning the cringing our isolationists, President Roosevelt was the very antithesis of the spineless politicians who today wipe the cold sweat of terror from anxious brows every time they think of meeting and dealing with the diplomats of other lands. The spunky Teddy, according to documentary evidence just published by Professor Dennett, far from being an international mollycoddle, made a secret pact with Japan back in 1905 to keep the peace of the Pacific. And, but for a Senate —which T. R. obviously did not think much of—he might have gone on and concluded a three-cornered alliance between this country, Japan and Great Britain. How’s that, Mr. Lodge ? Details have appeared elsewhere in this newspaper. We will not repeat them. But we will say this; That no matter what your opinion of the secret pact may be, whether wise or otherwise, you’ve got to take off your hat to this great American President who had the courage of his convictions and who was not afraid to match wits with any foreigner, whoever he might be. After these revelations we cannot see how any man professing to be a follower of the great T. R. can have the gall to say another word against America’s association with the League of Nations. If this worthy god of their party, whose spirit they invoke wherever they meet, could enter into a secret agreement with Tokio to prevent war in the Far East, they need something more than brass now to talk of “entanglements” and to argue against open cooperation with other nations to keep the peace of the world. THE EX-KAISER’S art stuff is to be junked, but not in the same pile with him. PREMIER M’DONALD should have known that the penalty of possessing an automobile is a not infrequent blowout. “LOWER PRICES or no bobs” is the ultimatum the Anderson (Ind.) girls have served on the barbers there. Lay low, men. THE INSATIABLE yearning for something different is probably at the bottom of South Carolina’s purpose to send Cole Blease to the Senate. THE PROFESSOR who has discovered that hard work shortens life can make no claim of originality “Student bodies” made that discovery long, long ago.

HO W WILL NEW SENATE STACK UP? Upper House May Be Divided Almost Evenly. Times Washin'/lon Tturrnu. liii SeYork Are. YTjTjJ ASHING TON, Oct. 14—The \X/ “old" Senate, the one which __J will see the ! reaking up of Its personnel on next March 4, consist of fifty Republicans, fortythree Democrats, and two FarmerLaborites. There is one vacancy, caused by the recent death of Senator Colt (R) of Rhode Island. On Nov. 4, thirty-three Senate seats will be filled. Os these sixteen are now held by Republicans, fifteen by Democrats, and one by a Farmer-Labor senator. The other Is Colt’s former seat. The Democrats say they are confident they will elect thirteen senators next month. The Republicans feel equally certain about only eight. The Farmer-T,abor party is sure of returning Magnus Johnson. That leaves eleven scats in doubt. These are the two from Colorado and those from Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire. New Mexico, New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia and Wyoming. Democrats in Colorado In Colorado the Democrats appear to have the better of the situation at this time and stand a good prospect of electing Senator Alva Adams for the long term and Morris Shafroth for the short term. Adams’ victory will mean the defeat of another Newberryite. Senator Phipps being his opponent. In Delaware the result will turn on quarrels within the Du Pont family, Coleman Du Pont being the Republican nominee, but lacking support of one faction of the State-own-ing family. David I. Walsh is giving the Republicans much trouble in Massachusetts and hope is held out that he will be able to defeat Speaker Gillett even though President Coolidge registers from that State. In Illinois, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Wyoming, the Democratic candidates are now regarded as having even chances, while in New Mexico, New Jersey and Rhode Island they are quoted at slightly “odds on” favorites in betting circles. Sure Thing Democratic The Democratic “sure-thing” States from a senatorial standpoint; are Alabama, which will return Heflin; Arkasas, with Robinson; Georgia, with Harris; Kentucky, with Stanley; Louisiana, with Ransdell; Mississippi, with Harrison; Montana with Walsh; North Carolina, with Simmons; Oklahoma, with Walton; South Carolina, with Blease; Texas, with Sheppard; Tennessee, with Tyson, and Virginfa, with Glass. The Republican “sure thing” Senators are Borah of Idaho, Brookhart of lowa, Capper of Kansas, Couzens of Michigan, Norris of Nebraska, McNary of Oregon, McMaster of South Dakota and Fernald of Maine, who is already elected. In this Republican group there are seven whose leanings are decidedly Progressive, only Fernald being a real stand-patter. Granting the Democrats their thirteen “sure” Senators, and the Republicans their eight, and the Farmer - Laborites their Magnus Johnson, and dividing the eleven uncertain contests on a basis of six for the Democrats and five for the Republicans, it will mean that of the newly eelcted men nineteen wall be Democrats and thirteen Republicans. In that case the next Senate will be composed of forty-seven Democrats, forty-seven Republicans and two Farmer-Laborites. Os the Republicans, at least eight will be real Progressives who, with the Democrats, offer a guarantee against) a G. O. P. ma hine-dominated Senate for a considerable time to come. One for the Minister In his announcement Sunday morning the minister regretted that money was not coming in fast enough—but he was no pessimist. “We have tried,” he said, ‘‘to raise the necessary money in the usual manner. We have tried honestly. Now we are going to see what a bazaar can do.”—Argonaut.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

T-Toosierisms l"*- BY GAYLORD NELSON r c I OME millions of words have I I been thought, uttered and L.. 1 written in the past few weeks about the regulation of our downtown traffic. And now a definite step has been taken in the right direction. Four signals of the silent policeman type have been installed on the corners of the intersection of Meridian and Ohio Sts. Two blink at the north and south traffic and two at the east and west. The red and green “stop” and "go” lights flash every thirty-flve seconds. The signals are neat in design, sufficiently conspicuous to be effective, and vastly superior to the ungainly towers sprawling ove • the Washington St. landscape. Perhaps they lack the personality of the blue-coated law. But they are always on the job. The handsomest ponjola bob in captivity, atop the most exquisite beauty in Indianapolis, won’t cause these traffic guardians to turn their heads for a second eyeful. Nor will they hold up traffic to converse with a passing friend. Os course they can’t sprint down the street after a traffic malefactor. But even with the human cop on duty there are always infractions of the law. An earnest lawbreaker manages to ply his trade under any adverse conditions —until ho is killed off. Downtown could use more of these silent cops. Heroes UNDAY afternoon a plain, unaffected man addressed a i_——J large audience in Cadle Tabernacle. The speaker was Sergt. Alvin C- Y'ork of Pall Mall, Tenn. He is raising money to finish the church in his mountain vilage. Six years ago “over there” he scaled the pinnacle of glory. For his feat in capturing 132 Germans single-handed—after putting twentyfive of iheir comrades out cf action—he was acclaimed the country’s greatest hero of the war. The plaudits of his countrymen greeted him upon his return to America. Fat movie offers, phimp lecture contracts, and easy money were dangled before his eyes. His name alone was his fortune. Sergeant York scorned all offers. The spotlight and a lush harvest of easy dollars didn’t fire his cupidity. From among the people of the impoverished mountainsides of east Tennessee he responded to hts country’s call —and wrote his name in imperishable letters in the book of heroes. But it was all in the line of duty. The job done he came back to live with the simple folks from whom he sprang. He returned to a frugal life of heavy toll and light reward, to wrest a scant living from th reluctant hills. His God Is not easy money—but the Just God of homely faith. Os su";h stuff are heroes made. Bread | j—, RIDAY a fruit nnd jelly j p shower will be given at the I * Indianapolis Home for Aged Women, 1731 N. Capitol Ave. The actual physical requirements of humanity are few. A trifle of indifferent food, a reg or two of clothing, shelter and warmth. And life of a sort can be maintained. But what a life! Man’s soul feeds on his luxuries, not on his necessi ties. The urge that impels a poor girl to skimp on food to buy a garnish hat, that the first shower will ruin is natural. The hat represents a fleeting moment of living, while food is only bare existence. We all buy something equally foolish at the expense of the practical. That's why the lot of those compelled to seek shelter in charitable institutions la so often bleak and cheerless. They must forego the little luxuries, which the institution from lack of funds or other causes, is unable to supply. They miss those things that add zest and color to life. * For man’s soul needs his little luxurie. be it a thimbleful of jelly or a Rolls-Royce. They bring inward warmth and happiness. A joy that bare essentials can never give. We live not by bread alone.

Pastime ROAD RIPPLE Park is to be developed into a great L___J amusement center according to recent announcement. The sum of $500,000 is to be expended in improving its facilities. Amusement parks are gawky creatures. But people seeking diversion and recreation like them. Otherwise the sum of $500,000 wouldn't be expended. They may he derided by those who dwell in the rarified regions of intellectual snobbery. But to most of us Coney Island is a better known landmark of New York than is the Metropolitan Museum. And probably more popular. Perhaps glorious summer days might more profitably be spent in some sylvan doll communing with nature. And the pursuits of a rare breed of butterfly over the rolling hills may be a finer pastime than the pursuit of a squirming hot day in an amusement park. But every summer many will find more pleasure in drinking bottled soda pop in a noisy crowd than in drinking in a quiet pastoral scene. The pastime is equally harmless. A dusty amusement park perhaps is not stimulating to nature students. The patrons of’Broad Hippie, however, will learn as much of nature in it as do the botanists who frequent Jack O’Lantern Gardens. Or the zologists who study the fauna of Liberty Beach. Tough on Father “Why couldn’t Jack elope with Miss Wry yesterday?” “Her father was too sick to drive them to the station.” —Judge.

LA FOLLETTE SEEKING TO RESCUE U. S. Woman Progressive Worker Tells Why She is for Senator, By MRS. EDWARD P. COSTIGAN, Leader in the Women’s Progressive Movement. [ E SEE about us not only a YX/ war-dreary world, but also vv a nation, many of whose citizens are financially distressed, without opportunity and hopeless. "What claim may made to statesmanship for those who hurry to make free gifts to private interests of those great remaining coal, oil and water power sites of the nation which should be the heritage of all our people for all time —for those who refuse to stretch out a piping hand to other countries, unable to see that In helping them we help ourselves—-for those who refuse to substitute law for war when the precious blood of innocent sons of anguished mothers of every nation in every land is crying upward from the ground for permanent and fraternal peace! Aomen at last are coming to realize that in order to help humanity they must know and understand the economic cduses and economic effects which will enable them to render serviceable aid in applying proper remedies for the age-old evils —poverty, sickness, monopoly, high living costs and war.

The La Follette-Wheeler Progressive party is an association of free men and women. Progressive Republicans, lndepe - dent Democrats, Socialists not bound by party traditions, Independents wearing no party labels of any kind, patriotic citizens, loving their country and its people so well that they are willing to ignore their differences and meet on common ground to rescue the Government from special privilege prof iteers and to restore it to its source of power, so that government of the people, for the people, by the peoj. le, shall not perish from the earth. Science Much has been said recently by the foes of evolution against one of the fundamentals <:f science—the "record of the rocks.” Rocks are a sort of calendar of the ages of the earth and also they have preserved the fossil remains of many of the earth's earliest animals, 'his rock record can not be wrong, a!though it may, at times, he read w ong. in -event years, through the ad eanee of science, man's ability to read these records correctly has grown enormously. The records show clearly that there once was a time when the only backboned creatures in existence were fishes. Later processes of evolution are clearly traced. From these facts the reasonable of continuing evolution of all living things is evolved. It is not likely that man’s body, in this process of evolution, will admit of great change, but his brain is. In its infancy and therefore the evolutionary prospect for man is promising.

Learns

M. G. Youmans, Cincinnati, 91 years old, is learning to operate a typewriter in one of the classes at the Central Y. M. C. A. at Cincinnati. Youmans goes to school every day and enjoys being in the class with thirty other students. He says he does not want to learn typewriting to become a stenographer, but since his hands are somewhat shaky on account of age he can no longer write a steady hand so he will write letters on the typewriter in the future.

What does the word “Hadramaut” mean I find it on a globe of the world as the name of a line that seems to run around the globe. Hadramaut is a subdivision of Arabia.

He Can’t Kick if It Rains

Tom Sims Says Women would be safer behind a steering wheel if you could tell what they were driving at. Our expert opinion is that the man who calles sweat perspiration doesn't know much about it. i A common dog is the safest watch dog. Get a pedigreed pup and they .-.lay steal him too. Watch your reputation. When you lose a good reputation it may take you years to find another one. This world could be twice as bad as it is. The seasons on Mars are twice as long as ours. Bet the man who names collars gets sorry for what he has done later. Men are known by the company they keep; women by the clothes they keep on wearing. After practicing eating gravy for 40 or 60 years some men still spill it on their vests. * Men are not always superior to animals. When a dog stars Itching be can scratch anywhere. The only way for the weather to satisfy people Is not to have any. Beauty and brains together are twice too much. It took six days to make the world, but it frequently seems to have been changed overnight. The man who doesn’t know where he is going isn't going very far. Pleasb be quiet. In Florida a man got shot for yelling at his wife. No girl is an old maid until she gives up the parlor to let her younger sister have a chance. A success Is a man who blamed everything on himself. Fortune never smiles on a man because he Is a joke. Distance Will lend quite a bit of enchantment to summer. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
