DID WATSON WIN ? Senator James E. Watson has the renomination for which he bargained with every vicious influence inside and outside of the State. The highly financed organization of workers, many of them on salaries higher than they could earn in productive labor, was effective. Tho carefully cultivated impression that Watson had the machinery of victory and could not lose was made good. , Most of all, his secret dealing with the national head of the hooded order gave him the support of slate makers in every county. And out of all of this mammoth effort he secured approximately a quarter of a million votes of Republican men and women of the State. More than one hundred thousand took the trouble to go to the polls to register their protest against Watson. One million men and women who voted for Coolidge two years ago refused to vote for Watson in this primary. Nine hundred thousand men and women who cast their votes for the Republican ticket in 1924, just two years ago, were so evidently lacking in interest in Watson, so thoroughly cowed by the idea that there was no use in fighting his machine and his deals, that they let the bargains he had made be consummated. After thirty years in public life, with all the resources of organization, with unlimited money to hire workers, with every influence of the State organization, only one Republican out of five could bo dragged to the polls to vote for him. That may he victory. Or it may indicate that tho voters of his own party aro waiting until November to register their disapproval of his actions and his deals. THEY DIDN’T DARE That very efficiently managed and bossed political machine which controls the local Republican party did not quite have the courage to defeat William (I. Rerny, the courageous and independent prosecutor. The men who boss and control this machine understood the revolt that would occur if they carried out their purpose to punish the man who had put Stephenson in the penitentiary and to whom the decent men and women of this community look for their only protection against open delivery of the law to the corrupt and the criminal. When this newspaper first sounded the warning and led in the general protest against this final surrender of all decency, there was revolt in the ranks and evidently a change of mind. Mr. Remy does not owe his renomination to the machine. He was nominated on its slates, apparently, because his defeat would have meant the loss of all hope of election of any of its candidates in November. He is needed to make the purely partisan forget some of the older candidates on Ihe ticket on which he is a candidate. His success is a concession to decency. Mis open defiance of these machine influences suggests a hope that others may in time learn that it pays to stand on principlo and to refuse to make bargains with the bosses. There are some limits to which even a boss may not go and long remain a boss. Remy happens to be one of those limits. SENATOR WALSH DECLINES “Let's Find the Facts, Senator Walsh,” Under that caption, Scripps-lloward newspapers last week suggested editorially that the Montana Senator turn his inquisitorial mind upon the subject of prohibition. We urged that he call for a thorough investigation by a Senate committee, empowered to subpena witnesses, as the Senate subcommittee recently holding hearings could not do. Mayor Dover of Chicago, the sincerity of whose efforts to enforce the prohibition law cannot be challenged, had said to the subcommittee: “What is needed is patient, courageous, intelligent, tolerant study of the whole problem. We must have such a study and we must act on it, to avert chaos.” This was so much in line with our own views that wo put the matter up to Senator Walsh. He has replied. After thanking these newspapers for the “very liberal and evidently friendly spirit” in which the suggestion was made, he has turned tho suggestion itself down flat. He says: What will we find in the proposed additional investigation? We gave six days to each side; we heard the testimony of the best men available on both sides. The investigation just concluded was supposed to be a "patient, tolerant, intelligent study” of the whole thing. It was certainly nonpartisan end I think unbiased. As to being “thorough and complete,” that, of course, is a question, but I can’t think of any line of inquiry that might be pursued profitably that was not followed. The committee was endeavoring to find the facts. The investigation disclosed notorious and flagrant violations of the law in the large cities and to a greater or less extent through the country, and in .general way, at least, that was all known before. While the investigation gave detailed information I do not regard it as having been particularly enlightening so far as problems of legislation are concerned, except perhaps that measure of success or failure which has attended Govern ment control in the Canadian provinces. In that respe,# the hearings will justify conclusions on the one hand that the system has beep a brilliant success and on the other hand a dismal failure, depending upon the predilections with which the tes timony is reviewed. I am opposed to Mayor Dever’s suggestion simply because I have no idea of the line along which such an investigation would be pursued. It is impossible to refrain from this comment: If Senator Walsh were habitually satisfied with such evidence as was obtained at the subcommittee'*, hearings, Secretaries Fall and Denby would still be Jecorating the public payroll, the naval oil reserves vould still be in private hands and the Department of Justice's efforts to “get” Senator Wheeler would have succeeded. However, since the able Senator does have these strikingly successful efforts in 1 lio

public's behalf to his credit, we have no disposition to discuss his reasons for avoiding the prohibition issue. Perhaps some other Senator, whose batting average in this respect needs boosting, may take advantage of the opportunity. WE SHOULD PAY THIS $60,000,000 Whenever an Englishman and an American start talking war debts the American generally gets an earful. “What about that $60,000,000 worth of repudiated bonds we've been holding against you folks for the past forty years?” the Englishman asks a bit sarcastically. “I notice you’re pretty keen to collect from us; why don’t you pay us what you owe?” Half the time the American can’t answer. The chances are he never heard of the debts, let alone their repudiation. And it’s embarrassing. But there’s really no great need for blushes. It is true the British Corporation of Foreign Bondholders —a sort of bad debt collecting organization—lists North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas as in default of their bonds along with Honduras, Turkey, Russia and the rest. But the facts are not as shameful as the bare mention might sound. The repudiating States, it will be observed, are all Southern States. They contend that the money was borrowed right after the Civil War, during the reconstruction period. At this time, they claim, the people, far from having anything to do with the Government of their respective States, were living in a state of subjugation. North Carolina, for example, refused to pay on the ground that the debts were fraudulently incurred by “a ring of unprincipled adventurers” and “carpetbaggers.” Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas and others did likewise. Their citizens, they said, had not received a penny's worth of benefit from the money borrowed, so, when they came into their own again, they promptly refused to be taxed to repay it. Such is the states’ attitude. Their argument is not without merit. But the Englishman who lost his money in carpetbag projects and graft can't, be expected to see the logic of this as well as some of us can. He lent his money to the then official State governments, and refusal to repay it is repudiation. And that, as he views it, is that. Thus the matter now stands. But Americans should not let it stand there long. Somewhere on this side of the Atlantic there exists a moral, if not a legal, obligation to pay. , Furthermore, a good business man would rather pay a debt twice than have his reputation forever ruined by somebody broadcasting on all occasions that he doesn't pay his bills. It is to the best interest of the States themselves and, above all, *to the United States —which is far from blameless in tHe matter of contracting the debts—that the obligations should be met. One splendid opportunity has just slipped by. We recently forgave Britain more than a billion dollars of her war debt to us. The $60,000,000, which the repudiating States might be said to owe British bondholders, is less than one half of one per cent of our gift to Britain. It would have been quite simple to have had the Britons take over this little debt to their countrymen,and; thereafter, have them took to London for their pay. IMPRESSIONS Nothing is so dear to us as our own impressions, ideas which are usually the product of our mind and imagination. Our Impressions are something real and original for us—something which we create for ourselves and can understand in our own peculiar way. Army prfVates obey their officers often because the officers’ uniforms give them the impression of authority and not because of the men who wear the cloak of authority. Policemen, for the same reason, are able to direct and bring order to disorderly groups. The policeman's uniform gives everyone a definite impression of authority. Great statesmen, musicians, ministers and others are honored and respected because of the impression their titles convey. It is not unusual for a pretender , to assume an important title and be accepted with honor and high recognition, proving she impression of the title and not the man himself’that people accept. Impressions may fool us. They often give us the wrong viewpoint. We believe in our own impressions so sincerely that they are dangerous to us. We must always be on guard against that most common of human! errors known as a false impression.

MOTHER LOVE By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Judge Henry Neil, father of the mother’s pension law, says that while women may be greatly concerned about their own children, it is men and their organizations who act for the greater good of all children. A great many of us will disagree with the judge on this point. While men have always been ready and even eager, in some instances, to alleviate the sufferings of women and children, is it not true that it has been the activity, the spiritual urge of women, that has started all the great reforms which have been brought about? Women were never in a position to do a great deal directly for the causes which they held dear, but it has been their influence and their patient efforts which have been responsible for much of the good now materializing in this decade. Men have employed little children in fields and factories, crushing out lives so that more dollars would flow Into their own coffers; women have protested such methods. The social service worker, the club woman, the sister of charity, these had been the ministering angels to distress and privation long before men took up the cause. It can hardly be true that the woman who experiences mother love for her own cannot be more moved to understand the ache in the hearts of other women who see ftieir children underfed and miserable. Terhaps we mothers are greatly taken up with our own. That is but natural, but it is the profound love, the great maternal spirit which lives in our hearts that has brought the world of today to a realization of the importance of child welfare. The brooding mother love that hovers over the ciibs of one fortunate baby travels on through the ■world upon some invisible wings and through Its gweet influence: causes other women and men to see how precious is any mother's child/ Judge Neil is engaged in a worthy cause, but it is futile for him to say that men furnish the Incentive for the good things which are done for "the least of these.” It is the mother love in all human hearts that urges on this work.

Griffith Does a Trick With the Movie Camera and Protects His New Rights

Photographic effects which have never before been seen on the screen are to be introduced by D. XV. Griffith in his forthcoming Paramount production. “The Sorrows of Satan." ; Some of these have already proved so effective in laboratory pre-views , that Mr. Griffith hits iiad them copyrighted. This is anew departure in his ca- | reer. In years past he introduced the oloseup, irising in and out and fading in and fading out of scenes, but in the past he has permitted all : other directors and cameramen to j take these without restriction. For months prior to the start of “The Sorrows of Satan” Mr. Griffith and his chief cameraman, Harry Fischb-ck, worked out new methods of lighting, shifting from one scene to another without annoyance to the eye, and securing art effects. Tests were made from time to time, but to make certain il the effects could lie put into 1 1 *■ , i duction a number of cameras \ set up on each scene. As the scenes have been returned to the laboratory, Mr. Griffith and his technical assistants have become ! convinced that they have progressed I far enough to create something of a 'sensation among motion picture fans. When Adolphe Menjou ns Prince Lui io Kimanez (Satani, makes his cn trance, lighting effects ifive an impression of mystery and supernatural power at times, but Menjou plays the role as a sophisticated gentleman of the world. Tne characters are real, everyday humans, but the impression is subtly transmitted to I the spectator that a menacing power [lurks behind Mr. Mcnjou s suavity.

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW Trying to Get the Low Down on Very Far North

By Walter T>. Hickman These days everybody seems to be either looking North or toward FlorI Ida. By “North” 1 mean the unexplored and little known regions around the I North Pole. There is probably nobody in the world who has a larger bump of ignorance concerning the real North. i am probably like others who know their Far N ..th by what a novelist, who has never been further north than Chicago on a hot July day, says in a novel about the cold North. Years ago I realized my vast ignorance concerning the real North. I fell for what Doc Cook wrote for the public and what he told me during several interviews. But there is one man who knows the real North. His name is Vilhjalmur Ktefansson. Fiis latest book, published by the Macmillan Company of Now York, is called “The Adventure of Wrangel Island.” There is not a day that Stefansson is not called upon to “set right” some report about the several North Pole parties now trying to reach the pole or explore the regions surrounding it. A Strange Fact In his introduction, Stefansson • writes: "This book has been written under difficulties that are not ordinary. vOrawford, dalle, Knight. Maurer and I were friends and disciples of a common faith: two of them had been with me on a former expedition through illness, hunger and shipwreck. Now they aro dead and I have had to write their story. 1- that writing X found myself continually handicapped by too strong a sympathy for the alms of the work I was describing and too personal an affection for the heroes of that stern adventure * The strange fact about this book i is that Stefansson did not go on this trip. He stayed at home for political reasons as he and his companions decided upon this. Stefansson has made many trips to the far north made many trips to the Far North of the men and put their case before the public. Wrangel Island has been the seat of continued debate because it is a disputed base of all movements north. The book is announced as “The Adventure of Wrangel Island,” written by Vllhjalmur Stefansson with the collaboration of John Irvine Knight upon the diary of whose son Errol Eovne Knight, the narrative is mainly based. I found this book to be .i tragedy, a romance that was actuals lived. It Is not Action but the coW, bare

IN INDIANA

THE LA GUARDIA SUBPENA Refusal of Representative F. H. Tia Guardia of New York to come to Indianapolis to testify before the grand jury Investigating— 3.8 a result of his charges on llie floor of tlie ITousfr—disappearance of 330 'cases of Squibb's whisky stored In our Federal building. Is clearly within hi Constitutional right*A Congressman is immune from arrest and subpena while Congress Is In session- A solemn court proee.\A he can take or leave alone as suits his own convenience. Certainly there Is no call for a fellow Congressman, Blanton of Texas, to declare in a forensic outburst: "l think this House ought to notify that court that It Is in contempt of the House." Serving a subpena on the sacred person of a Congressman is not lose majeste. Shucks! If that is contempt of the House, v‘ it couldn’t be done to tho average citizen for what ho thinks of tho average Congressman. Tho facts are that 330 cases of liquor in the custody of Federal officers in Indianapolis vanished. What became of them? Who took them? That's what tho United States district attorney and grand jury are trying to find out. Perhaps the gentleman from New York can throw no more light on the mystery. It may bo that he has already told all ho knows of the case. Whether he should testify in response to the subpena Is a matter he should decide on the basis of whether his testimony would assist tho investigation, not on the basis of Congressional immunity. BY POPULAR VOTE Theoretically, the people of Indiana spoke yesterday in the primary election and by popular vote chose the party nominees for public ofllce from Senatorship to constable. Probably In general the voters exercised discretion and judgment in marking their ballots. But In spots, at least in Marion County, it Is uncertain whether it was the voice of the people or just static that determined the results. An ordinarily intelligent citizen intent on doing his duty to the best of his ability received a shock as soon as he entered a polling place and was handed a ballot about the size of a horse blanket. He realized then that voting was grim business. If he was a Republican, he doubless had no difficulty in marking his choice for Senator and Representaiive and some of county officers. When it came to voting for eleven State Representatives, be stuttered. He was confronted apparently with a page out of the telephone book. But that wasn't a circumstance to the list that met his eye when lie tried to vote for thirty-one, more or less, delegates lo the State convention. It was either stab blindly, supinely follow a printed slate, or pass up tlie whole list. Only a city directory could cast an intelligent vote for delegates. As for the plain, conscientious voter he was sunk without a trace. In theory the primary system is presumed to free us from boss rule and put the control of parties and designation of candidates in the hands of the people. Tn actual practice the primary ballot seems to be devised to make intelligent voting as difficult as possible. MOLARS IN _ SCHOOL The State Dental Association plans introduction of a bill in the next Legislature authorizing school authorities of the State to employ school dentists and provide dental care for public school pupils. Alt at the expense of the taxpayer. Recent dental surveys of school children in districts of the State have revealed widespread

MAY 5, 1926

prevalence of defective teeth-. Naturally something should ha done about it. Hence tho argument for hool dentist*. . ! Probably care of tho teeth, 4ik(> many other health measures, is a legitimate function of the public schools. Obviously a pupil with a refractory molar jumping up and down In its socket is handicapped in bis school work. M hen cavities yawn in cuspids and biscusplds and naked nerves writhe and twitch convulsively a pupil can’t give undivided attention to the multiplication table and similar dry subjects. Certainly there is precedent putting teeth in school curricula. Tho public schools already lodk after much of tho pupils' physical well being with/school nurses, eye clinics, dietitians, cafeterias and what not. Where can the line be drawn between proper school functions and tho matters to be left to parents? If school children are to receive free dental treatment, services of nutrition experts, eye specialists and so on at public expense* why not furnish them likewise with chiropodists and barbers? Falling arches and dandruff deserve attention, If the present tendency continues, the care of children will eventually be entirely In the hands of the schools. The chief functions of parents will be choosing names for their offspring, UNIFORM <| AUTO LAWS Enactment of a uniform motor vehicle act. making Indiana laws governing automobiles and traffio conform with the codes of other States, will be sought In the 1927 session of the Indiana Legislature by the American Drlvurself Association, it was announced at a meeting of the association in Indianapolis yesterday. The bill suggested and approved by the recent national conference on street and highway safety will be submitted. No doubt something of the sort is desirable. The diversity of State motor vehicle regulations makes interstate motoxlng puzzling and hazardous. ' The automobile Is no longer a strictly local phenomenon like the town pump or a braach-of-promise suit. It fits from the Juilsdictlon of one State to another with surprising celerity. In the process it becomes involved in a diversity of statutes and regulations. What is legal in one State may be a high crime and misdemeanor In another. Some States require drivers' licenses and certificate of title. Othei-s do not. In some States an automobile must come to a full stop jit a railroad cx-osstng. $n Indiana a flivver can dash Its brains out against the side of ai train without legal interference. * Legal maximum speed limit may he anything from twenty miles an hour to the Sky. All of which is confusing to motorists and afforris hick constables and fee-hunting justices an opening to gouge honest but ignorant out-of-State visitors. But even more distracting to ordinary motorists than the fiftyseven varieties of State regulations is the endless variety of local traffic lules within the State. In Indiana cities, “stop” signs ai - e of all types and sizes. Automatic signals bloom oveerhead, underfoot and In tho center of intersection, according to local artistic urge. Speed limits are equally diverse. A speed limit permissible in Indianapolis will give the Carmel marshal apoplexy. A good place to start a campaign for uniform motor regula tions Is right here in Indiana—among Hoosier communities. LEETE AT MEETING Bishop Frederick D.
