Politics in the IncomeTax Cases pjTIHE Department of Justice seems to be i 1 I on trial before the Supreme Court in the income-tax publicity cases about as much as the law itself which is presented for clearing up. First, we have the fact that the department refused to interpret the law and professed that it could not interpret it. This left each Collector of Internal Revenue to interpret for himself. Then the department switched around and became an interpreter by starting prosecutions against newspapers which had been given access to the Hies of collectors and had published names of taxpayers, with the amounts paid. And non* comes the Solicitor General with an admission that, after all, the department does not care a straw which way the case is decided, while questions from the beDch in the course of his argument indicate that some of the justices at least can see in the law a clear meaning that, while general prohibition on publication of income tax returns continues, exception has been made of amounts of tax paid and persons paying. In other words, it is intimated that the •department of Justice had no legal excuse for -its failure to interpret, and no excuse accordingly for bringing these cases before the court. It has been dodginf? its duty. It has been bending to politics. It has been giving an exhibition of plain political cowardice.—New . York 'World. ‘Cold Scrutiny’ Ip lEPORTIXG to his stockholders, Harry i Fvl Sinclair jauntily announces that he expects “an affirmation of the Teapot Dome lease and the acquittance of the false charges that have been so loosely made.” Sinclair also reports that “when subjected to the cold scrutiny of a <y>urt of chancery the inflammatory accusations so widely advertised were shown to be of the most flimsy character.” Just how flimsy* those charges were may be gathered from the fact that they caused three presidents of American oil companies to

German Elections May Decide Fate of Europe

Times Washinoton Bureau, 1522 Sew York Avenue. ASHINOTON, April 23. YX/ Washington, in common - v with every other important world capital, today has its eyes on Germany. Next Sunday, April 26, the German people will go to the polls ostensibly to vote for a president to succeed the late President. Ehe-t. In reality they will decide whether their country shall remain a republic or become a camouflaged monarchy pending the restoration of a Hohenzollern. Three candidates n.re in the field, but only two are in *he running. These two are former Chancellor Wilhelm Marx, Republican, and Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, monarchist, the exiled Kaiser’s right band man. The third man, the Communist Thaelmann, Is not a serious contender. Will Influence Europe Sunday's election will not only influence the future of Germany for years to come, but ail Europe ns well. Not since the memorable June 28, 1919, when the peace of Versailles was signed in the Hall of Mirrors, in the palace of Louis XIV, has the Old World staged a drama of such world wide significance. Von Hindenburg is not a mere Candidate. He is an entire program. A militarist buddy of the now exfled Wilhelm 11, the very last word In kaiserism, he is the living, breathing symbol of everything against which the late allies claimed they were fighting. "It is only by relying on our good German sword," wrote Crown Prince Friederich Wilhelm, just before the World War was unchained, "that we can hope to conquer that place in the sun which rightly belongs to us, and which no one will yield to us Voluntarily. ’Til the world comes to An end, the ultimate decision must rest with the sword." Still a Monarchist Such is still the creed of the German monarchist. Such is Von Hindenburg's creed. All his life king 6r kaiser has been his god, the army Ills church. Today he is 78 years Old, too old to change.* To him the German republic is a desecration—a new god set up in the temple of the Hohenzollerns. . Hand on sword, resplendent In ♦he uniform of a field marshal of the old empire, Von Hindenburg's principal campaign gesture now is to review military parades. With bands braying "Deutschland über Alles!” and with endless files of soldiers and ex-service men doing their famous goose-step past him, the news the cables bring from Germany sounds more like a return of the Kaiser’s grand review days at Potsdam than a political hustings. Von Hindenburg says little, but When he does it 1b to talk of restoring Germany to her place In trie sun, of renouncing war-guilt, and other things like that. Never on£|j does he stress the benefits of a re-

flee the United States in order to escape testifying at the Cheyenne trial. They also caused a prominent Canadian lawyer and erstwhile corporation president to take up big game hunting in Africa. Though we have no desire to debate with Sinclair on what the Federal judge at Cheyenne will or will not do, we can not refrain from protesting against his boastful assertions about the “cold scrutiny of the court.” No court in this broad land has yet had an opportunity to learn* the whole facts about the oil scandal. The most important witnesses left the the feve of the Cheyenne trial. The District of Columbia courts have never heard testimony in the criminal cases because of Sinclair’s success in keeping out of court on technical points. If Sinclair really thinks his case would stand so well in the courts, why does lie make such strenuous efforts to keep the facts from reaching a jury of his peers? Bananas and Emma Gees FLEETS are zinging again in Honduras. _____ A defeated candidate for the presidency, Gen. Gregorio* Ferrera. it seems, has started another revolution to keep his name before the constituency. Besides it has been quite some time since Homhiras-was treated to a first-class revolution. In fact, not since General Ferrera himself headed the last one way hack in August. The new president, Paz Barahona, leader of the Nation, or Conservative party, was inaugurated Feb. 1. Behind him is the moral and material support of the United States. Three weeks after his inauguration, the State Department in Washington approved his request to purchase 3,000 military rifles, 2,000,000 rounds of ammunition and twenty Emma Gees, othorwise'known as machine guns. These ought to help make it interesting for General Ferrera. At the same time 16.") American officers and sailors from the United States warship Denver have landed at Ceiba to protect foreign lives and property and keep the score. It, is fairly safe to assume, we might add, that whichever way the fighting goes, our national fruit interests will not he seriously menaced. No revolutionist in that part of the world has much of a chance unless he makes, ‘Aes„ We Have No Designs on Your Bananas,” his movto and anthem.

public, and for cause. He does not believe in the institution over which he would preside as president. There is a strong likelihood of Von Hindenburg's winning. In the first presidential elections a few weeks ago, the monarchist groups very nearly tied the republican groups in the voting. The latter polled some 13,000,000 as against nearly 12,000,000 for the former Only 20,000,000 votes were cast, in round numbers, while about 38,000,000 citizens have the ballot. It is believed the republicans voted their full strength at the preliminary election, with several millions of monarchists abstaining. If this is true, Hindenburg will win. Germany says her elections are of no concern to the foreign powers.

Jobs For 400,000 Men

Times Washini/ron Bureau. IMI Sew Sorb Avenue. :*y-n ABHINGTON, April 23 W Wanted: 400,000 men for seasonal farm labor. At least this many men and probably more will soon be needed to gather the rotton crop of the Southwest and to harvest the grain of that section and the Middle and Northwest. The Government is completing plans to handle this recruiting job without expense to the men seeking employment or to the farmers. The farm labor division of the Department of Labor plans to have more than fifty temporary offices through the country to take care of the work. From supplying 70,000 farm laborers in 1921, this division h.-s grown to a service that last year supplied more than 400,000 to assist in harvesting farm crops valued at nearly $2,000.000,000. “We expect to do a bigger work this year because agriculture is in a more prosperous condition," Francis I. Jones of the United States Employment Service, in, cha- ge of the work, said today. The largest demand last year came from Texas, where cotton pickers were wanted. There is an all-year call for farm labor in Texas, but the acute demand begins in June and continues until November. Under favorable conditions Texas this year will require nearly 300,000 workers from outside the State to gather its cotton crop. As soon as this is accomplished most of the workers will be moved northward to harvest *he immense wheat, barley, oats and rye crops of the Northwest and to gather the corn crops of lowa and Kansas. The Texas demand for laborrs is greater than ever this year because of the decrease in Mexican immigration. The new Immigration law requires an additional $lO entrance fee and this has cut the number coming over the border to about onethird. In past years the seasonal labor- : -

She will see. Already Wall Street has held up advances on loans to Germany until the bankers can see which way the cat jumps. The effect of Von Hindenburg’s election on France would be electric. The present government, headed by Premier Pafnleve, Foreign Minister Briand and Finance Minister Calllaux—all friendly and willing to play a game of live-and-let-live with Germany—woud be doomed to a very short life. And the chances are that In its place would come a government dominated hy Poincare. Foch, Cle menceau, Tardieu and other flery nationalists whb would see anew menace looming across the Rhine and meet it.

e rs have quit work at the end of the harvest season. This year Jones will try to make seasonal labor t. continuous eycle by diverting most of the men into the logging’and lumber industry. "The lumbering and logging industry affords great opportunity for seasonal employment, and the demands have not been met by this service in a satisfactory way. With proper information many of the harvest workers could be directed into this work," Jqjies said. Many yorkers will be recruited from ranks of idle coal miners. “There are 200,00 more men in the bituminous coal industry than mining needs," Jones declared. Moonlight By Hal Cochran Good evening, Mister Moon Man! Why the smile upon your face? You’re always rather cheerful, and of frowns there’s not a trace. It's fun to sit and watch you when you’re peekin’ through at night.' I’ll bet you smile at lovers who are spooning. Am I right? We all have had our sweethearts, and we all have shared our love. I wonder, do nre realize that you, from up above, have helped to make the setting for the evening lover’s act. I’ll bet you’re glad to furnish light. Now, isn’t thp.t a fact? A place out in the open, and a bench down by a stream. What better spot could people wish, to idly sit and dream? A little touch of shadow, with the moonlight shinin' through. A lover and his sweetheart offer up their thanks to you. No wonder, Mister Moon Man, that you’re cheerful all the while. You’ve really lots of reason why you comce right out and smile. You throw your mystic rays out wide, and here and there you’ve found, for lovers you are spreading lota of happiness around. ’

However, it is not unusual for unmerciful beatings and similar refinements to be employed by hard-boiled officers to make prisoners talk. Os course, a confession, however obtained, simplifies matters. It saves work for the officers, time for the courts and money for the taxpayers. But if those are the only considerations. why stop with ordinary third degree methods to extort confessions? Just beating and kicking him won't always loosen the tongue of a stubborn prisoner. Sometimes it merely loosens his teeth. Slowly roasting the soles of his feet over a Are. or plucking out his fingernails one at a time is more effective. Yet several generations ago society discarded that sort of torture. Some sheriff’ and police still use third degree methods that are r.o more humane. From the standpoint of humanity, decency and Justice they are unsavory performances, and should be suppressed. THE WICKED LOBBYISTS E. SCHoRTEI I MEIER.

The Paramount picture, which was filmed entirely in Paris, comes to the Ohio all next week. The opening of the production finds Gloria as Catherine Hubscher, a French laundress who, through the fortunes of war—the French revolution—finds herself the possessor of the title of Duchess and a place in the court of Napoleon, for whom she used to steal silk shirts from her wealthy customers, when the emperor of France was a mere nobody.

BOOSTING THE CRIME BUSINESS IASSIUS1 ASSIUS ROCKWELL. a Michigan man, had $12,300 in currency—carried in his traveling bag—stolen while he slept in the Goshen tourist park the other night, according to his report to the police. He came to Indiana to buy a farm, bringing the money to pay for it. While looking around, he spent several nights in the tourist park with his money-laden bag for a pillow. The pillaging of his bankroll is, of course, regrettable. The act did not conform to the best traditions of Hoosier hospitality. Twelve thousand dollars is quite a sum of money to any except the press agent of a movie queen. Nevertheless, the victim does not deserve much sympathy. He was an accessory to the crime. There is a place where thieves do not break in, where there are no hold-ups. But it Is over on the other shore-j-not in Indiana. In this State an anaemic bnnk roll composed of two $1 bills runs grave risks after dark. It is perfectly proper for a man to sleep In the open, for reasons of health or thrift, if he desires. But In these days of checks, drafts and banks, one who makes a fat, tender bank roll sleep In a tourist park contributes to Its delinquency and-encourages it to suicide. , Such carelessness merely tempts weak-willed individuals to lawless acts, and boosts the already-thriv-ing crime business. SIGHTSEEING IN INDIANA R" — lICHARD LTEBEH, director of the department of conservation, at Tell City yesterday, urged Hoosiers to become better acquainted with the scenic beauties of Indiana and promote the tourist business in the State. "I have often wondered why some enterprising bus company doesn't start sightseeing tours of one. two or three weeks’ extent over Indiana,” he said. “I am sure we all would be gainers." Undoubtedly the average citizen of the State is lamentably ignorant of the scenic attractions and recreational advantages It possesses. Many Indianapolis people, who have never visited Brown county right in their front yard, are familiar with the Rue de la Paix, vin rouge, and other wonders of Paris. But that is characteristic of natives the -world over. They are usually unacquainted with the natural points of interest in their immediate vicinity. They do their sightseeing away from home*—and they believe the farther away from home they get, the bigger the sights. Indiana possesses many beauty spots and places of interest to beguile tourists—if they were only known and advertised. The average Hoosier Just doesn't have an opportunity to get acquainted with them—-the roads are too good. Before he can take his foot off the accelerator he is In another State. The first hit of scenery that attracts his attention is an archaic piece of pie in Ohio, Michigan, ot Illinois. Consequently he knows more about the Yellowstone and Grand Canon than about Cllfty Falls. However, other States, with a poorer stock than Indiana, successfully and profitably market their scenery and natural attractions. Why shouldn’t Indiana?

Little Dandelion Is Dangerous Wine Can Prove Injurious to System, Says Health Worktr.

Concocting dandelion wine, popular pastime of Indianapolis citizens in the rprlng time, is not without its perils aside from possibility of arrest by prohibition agents, according to Dr. Herman S.
