PRETTY DESPERATE Only a feeling of desperation would cause even the most enthusiastic supporter of Senator \\ atson to proclaim that his thirty years of public office i3 a history of the Republican party. What do the men and women who remember Roosevelt, McKinley, Beveridge, New, Hughes, Hardiug or Coolidge say to such an assertion? Yet that is the statement made in all seriousness by the recognized spokesmen for W atson. Wero it true, then the Republican party could claim not a single law, a single principle, or a single cause which it had consistently and conscientiously championed. The history of Watson has been one of political bargaining, votes of expediency, playing with patronage, and service to seekers of special privileges. True, during the two years he was out of office he became a lobbyist. His activities in that direction are a matter of official criticism by a congressional committee composed of members of his own party. Asa candidate for office he has consistently run behind his own ticket. He has been returned to office again and again only through the popularity of some leader who overshadowed his own defects. It is significant that he has not had the indorsement of any colleagues in the Senate nor has the support of any of the outstanding leaders of his own party in this State. He has a machine, an organization of office holders and job seekers and no one else. Certainly there must be thousands of men and women of the Republican party who resent the suggestion that their party is dedicated to the practices and principles of Watson. For if Watson be the personification of pure Republicanism, what would you say Coolidge is or Roosevelt was? THE AMERICANIZATION OF EUROPE \ Guglielmo Fcrrero, renowned Italian historian, writing in L'lllustration, of Paris, raises a cry of alarm over what ho calls the Americanization of Europe. Rapidly, he says, Europe is becoming Americanized and "Europe can not become a mere copy of America because her very existence is tied up with certain elements of the ancient order. Destroy these and you destroy Europe.’’ What does Ferrero mean by the Americanization of Europe? The disappearance of the menial mind; the transformation of the masses; the leveling of the classes; the new and independent outlook on life of those who, ten years ago, were perfectly content to be the humble servants of their social superiors. Ferrero recalls a visit to the United States seventeen years ago. Just before he returned home he was asked what he thought of America. He replied that in his wildest imaginings he had never dreamed any country could be so rich. But even our millionaires, he observed, had no idea, what luxury meant, or what really comfortable living was, compared with Europeans. An American family, he illustrated, had to be fairly well off to afford a cook and a maid, whereas in Italy every family with SI,OOO a year income had a couple of servants. With $5,000 a year there was a houseful of domestics, valets and whatnot. Today, Ferrero says, Europe stands where America was at the time of his visit. The serving classes fought in the great war. They looked death in the face and learned to laugh. Their minds grew. Their outlooks changed. Women went into munition factories or did other war work. Their ideas altered also. The peasants and the masses generally came to look at things from an entirely new angle. And, once the war was over, none thought of going back to the old existence. They expected, and demanded of life, something altogether different. "But Europe is not America,” the historian warns. Her future is too uncertain. The interests of her peoples clash too violently and at too many points. Neither W international peace nor the domestic tranquillity of her component nations is on any too sound a basis. Against such a background as this, he declares, the clash between the new, or Americanized order, and tho old -which, for more than a thousand years has been inbred into her very life—may throw Europe into social chaos. Admitting Europe must be reconstructed, Fervero sees peril in the undertaking. You can’t impose anew motor of stupendous power on all old, light and highly refined chassis and not expect a wreck. CONGRESSTN A CORNER The farmers do seem to have Congress In a corner. While just as convinced as Coolidge is that the farmers’ principal proposal for their own relief is ' unsound economically,” many members of Congress are lining up to vote for it. As these statesmen see it, they'll be impaled on a pitchfork in November if they don’t do as the farmers demand. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana is one of the latest to line up. This has been easy for Jim, for there is only one political conviction that Jim holds very tightly and that is tho conviction that the object of politics is to keep Jim in office. When it lias seemed strategic to be for labor, he has been lor labor; when it has seemed wiser to be for the manufacturers, he has been for the manufacturers. So now wisdom seems to dictate that he be for the farmers and for the farmers he is. Watson’s course is likely to be followed by many more, for in Congress Jim Is recognized as a pretty good straw when one wants to know which way the wind is blowing. Another excellent weathercock has set himself up in the corn belt, the same being former Governor Frank Q. Lawden, candidate-in-walting for the presidency. His fluctuations have not been as violent and noticeable as Jim Watson’s. He has veered steadily and surely with the wind of the prairl is, bringing himself Into line, little by little. He is now pointing almost at right angles from hia direction of six months ago, but he is pointing Rarallel with tl# wind. So It looks as it politics may send opponents of

radical farm relief to the storm cellar until after the next election. And in the meantime the extremists may have won what they want. Call it a subsidy or whatnot, the farmers are Just about to get it. As the farmers see it, evey other section already is getting special privileges from the Government, directly or indirectly, and it is time the farmer took his. The Government .gives industry n tariff wall behind which it can charge all the traffic will bear. Labor, through organization, compells industry to pungle up an ever-increasing share of these tariff-protected profits. The Government builds a great power project and proposes to present it to private power interests. It builds a great fleet of ships and practically presents them to private shipping Interests. And so on. There is something in the farmers’ viewpoint, although It 13 a little too sweeping. When he says every other section of the people, he overlooks the average unorganized and unprotected salary earner. When the farmer has got his special protection safely battened down, how Is the white collared worker going to get his —and from whom is he going to get it? THE FRENCH DEBT To the ominous tinkle of the ever falling franc the French debt to the United States has been funded at a present value of 50 cents on the dollar. All things considered, this settlement with France is perhaps the best war debt deal the United States has yet put over —If we get the money. President Coolidge has given It his O. K., but both Congress and the French Parliament have yet to ratify the agreement, and considerable opposition is inevitable on the Potomac as well as on the banks of the Seine. There are undercurrents in the situation, however, leading to the belief that the agreement will win the necessary votes in both countries. First, France is on the brink of disaster, financial and political. She has been close to it for years, but today she is hanging on only by her toes. Even the news from Washington failed to check the downward plunge of the franc on the Paris Bourse. The second element favorable to ratification is the knowledge In this country that France is an economic keystone in Europe and disaster to her would mean disaster for all, with serious re percussions in the United States. We begau by saying the French settlement is good if we get the money. How is she going to raise it? She has a national debt roughly equal to ours, with only one-third our population and sixth of our national income. She owes, at home and abroad, some five hundred million francs, at the present rate of exchange, or some thirteen thousand francs per capita. Interest on this, at 4 per cent average, means an annual burden of 500 francs on every man, woman and child In the country. Then there aro the other taxes in addition, to meet the ordinary expenses of government. Now, perhaps you can understand why the franc fell in Paris Friday following the glad tidings from Washington. Folks were merely asking themselves where they were going to get the money to meet France's obligations to the United States, to England and to her own citizens. Promises to pay and paying are two different things. People will steal anything. St. Louis man stole a ukelele. Los Angeles man was arrested for shooting at his landlord. Perhaps because of an ammunition shortage an election has been called off In Mexico City. Galesburg Jill.) girl won a fine championship. Just the same, some brave man may marry her. There's one nice thing. Before a girl goes swimming she can hide her clothes In her swimming suit bag. General Wu Pci Ful Is active In China. Doesn't matter, but he sounds like some one—er—expectoratlns - WHERE WAS WHEELER? By N. I). Cochran WASHINGTON, May 1. —One of the most significant facts about the hearing on prohibition before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee was that Wayne B. Wheeler did not take the witness stand. I was not surprised, however, for on April 3 I was told he would not go on the witness stand and give Senator Reed a chance to cross-examine him. Had he gone on the stand the mastery surrounding the Anti-Saloon League might have been pierced. Thus far the league has been superior to the law. It has refused to give tho source of its enormous receipts. Although it is a political organization and spends vast sums to elect and defeat candidates for Congress, it has never a report of its receipts and expenditures. It has never reported to the public the millions it has received from large employers of labor, and what was done with the money. Now and then It has cropped out that members of Congress, United States district attorneys and even judges were on the pay roll of the Anti-Saloon League. Some Congressmen have admitted that they have received money from the league for speeches, but there has been no general showdown on how many public officials have been hired by the league. In Kansas It was proved that Attorney General Griffith had drawn approximately $3,000 from the league treasury while he was drawing a regular salary from the fatate for enforcing the law. The records show that he drew SIOO a month and "expenses” from the league; also for "law enforcement” and for "attorney fees.” It was alsd shown that Supreme Court Justice Hopkins of Kansas drew money from the Anti-Saloon League treasury while on the State pay roll. Senator Reed might have asked Lobbyist Wheeler some pertinent questions concerning the number of United States Senators and representatives who were subsidized by the Anti-Saloon League. He might have asked why the Rockefellers, Gary of the Steel Trust and other captains of industry and members of the National Manufacturers’ Association financed the league In putting over prohibition. He might have asked what these captains of Industry got in the way of lobbying in Washington and In State legislatures to protect their selfish Interests and special privileges. But Lobbyist Wheeler didn’t go on the witness stand. The political boss who held up President Wilson's war legislation and made President Harding quit drinking, didn't intend to let Senator Jim Reed crossexamine him on the secret workings of the Anti-Saloon League.

RIGHT HERE

IN INDIANA

A SCHOOL * STRIKE “I am 42 and have never voted yet. When there is a man running for President who has no affiliation with any specific party of pickpockets, but Is running solely on his record and his capabilities—then I shall hie myself to the polls. So writes *an indignant subscriber to a Chicago newspaper; And thera are a lot of other citizens, some here in Indiana, who cry “amen.” "What’s the use of voting?” they ask. “All tho politicians are rascals.” Nearly half of the registered voters in Indianapolis stayed away from the polls in the municipal election last fall. Yet nearly every one of those who failed to vote at that election would grab a musket and start a revolution if denied the right of suffrage. Indifference Is the most serious ailment of popular government in America. A smaller percentage of registered voters vote in our elections than in any so-called civilized nation. Our public officials may be pickpockets, rascals or Incompetents, as disillusioned forty-two and others of that Ilk proclaim. But what right has he to complain? Has he ever tried to Improve conditions? He expects pure and faithful public officials but shirks his own duties as a citizen. Only those who vote have a right to criticise the caliber and public acts of our elected officials. Tuesday Is primary election day in Indiana. If you ore qualified, vote. Perhaps your A-ote won’t have great Influence on the result. Yet it may’. At any rate, you will play your part in popular government, Instead of merely appearing in tho anvil chorus. VOTES AND STRIKE Students of South Side High School, Ft. Wayne, went on a strike Thursday and left education flat on its back, as a protest against the dismissal of a popular football coach. They went back to their books yesterday on tho promise of tile school board to consider their grievances. It wasn’t necessary to call out the militia, import strike-breakers, or disperse the mob with tear bombs. Nevertheless, though short and bloodless, the episode will furnish material to soured moralists and carping critics of youth. To them it proves the irresponsibility and the flaunting of authority by modern youths and the over emphasis of athletics in our high schools. Imagine school pupils striking over the dismissal of a mathematics teacher and marching to the city hall in protest. Perhaps the carping critics are right. Certainly there is nothing sillier than a School strike. Such strikers adopt the attitude they are cruel victims' of a remorseless school board; that they Confer not to receive benefits by condescending to attend school. Which Isn’t the ease at all. But the Incident Is not so alarming. It doesn't prove anything about the waywardness of modern youth, or too much interest in high school athletics. It merely proves the arri\-al of spring. Most of us. whether we are attending school or running a bank, at this season feel like giving the job a dirty look and walking out on strike. BUSSES ON THE CIRCLE . Gustave G. Schmidt, president of the city plan commission, would prohibit the use of Monument Circle as the downtown terminus of city bus lines. The various busses stopping to discharge and load passengers on the Circle Impede traffic, he holds, and add to the congestion. Quite likely the busses buzzing around the Monument in rapid succession do increase the congestion on the Circle and annoy some of the drivers of private cars who

also want to buzz around the same strategic traffic center. However, every vehicle that enters the downtown district, street car. private conveyance, truck or motor bus, lnci-eases the congestion somewhere. If the busses Avere barred from the Circle they would have to seek another downtown terminus and turn around corners where street cars, pedestrians and private motorists .already strugglo and squirm fur passage. Merely complicating an already complex situation. Perhaps the Monument and the Circle would be more impressive if all vehicular traffic and parking were banished from the vicinity. That s impossible under present conditions because the Circle Is the natural traffic heart of the city. And the problem of the Circle in relation to traffic is not to prevent Its use, but to make it of the most service in the city transportation scheme. A private automobile with a single occupant takes up almost as much space on the Circle as a motor bus carrying a score of passengers. For those bus patrons the Circle is the most convenient downtown bus terminus. (Should twenty bus customers be inconvenienced just to allow one more private automobile to whizz around tho Monument? NO MARRIED TEACHERS Only single women have been appointed to teaching jobs for tho next school year in South Bend. The school board does not want married women In tho schools except as substitutes or to fill vacancies; , Os course the school board of South Lend is privileged to adopt such policy as it sees fit in selection of its teaching corps. It may parcel out the jobs among windows, single girls, grandmothers, redheaded or cross-eyed maids. But why put up the bar3 against married teachers? It is truo that some single women compelled ot work for a living complain that married women, who work not from economic necessity, but for spending money or to gratify their tastes for luxuries, are unfair competition. They believe jobs should go to those who need them. However, there is another side to that complaint. Single girls in store and office who are efficient and interested in their jobs don't worry about competition of married women. Just because a woman has a husband she isn't necessarily unfitted for teaching. In spite of it she may have brains and be equipped with the knowledge, training and experience to boa most successful Instructor of boys and girls. While she may have neither temperament nor taJent for household duties. If a woman has a gift for teaching and an urge for a pedagogical career, it Isn’t good public policy to bar her out of the schools on the grounds she is married. Not much is gained for society by compelling a natural-born teacher to stay at home, making sodden biscuits and bilious pies and spreading dyspepsia through a whole neighborhood.
