KNOW YOUR OWN STATE Indiana’s distribution of wealth is approximately as fc.llows: Urban realty, 29.4; farms, 27.7; manufacturing industries, 28.6; personality, 14.3.

JUST LIKE JIM Once more the people of Indiana have a perfect picture of that great statesman, James E. WatsonThere comes before the Senate a resolution probe charges of gigantic expenditures ot moneym the primaries of Pennsylvania, a sum said to be ten ul, that sprat by rao Newt>.rry, "ho was tbrowa out of the Senate for such lavishness. The corrupt practices act endeavors o control of Government by money. The charge made by Senator Reed of Missouri merely repeated news stories sent out by repor era, who estimated that more than two millions of dollars had been spent to grab a nomination. Idolators of Watson might have expected this defender of the faith to rise in his wrath against unrighteousness and corruption. They might have expected to hear him take up the defense of the integrity of the ballot. They might have thought that here was an issue far enough away from Indiana to he safe. * But they are disappointed, if such were theii ; belief in Watson. ' instead Watson hurried from the chamber of the S ° na £ dodged to the cloakroom, neither waiting to denounce nor remaining to defend. He just ducked. u you .top long enough to go oyer Important activities of Watson. you trill find that he always duck, if a storm is in sight. There is a sound, safe, man, who never takes a chance, not even for his friends, if he can avoid it. Likewise he is so sound and safe-for Watsonthat he is not found on the firing line when the battle ranges to defend the Integrity of ballot or the stability of our institutions. His voice is not raised in prttest against acts that outrage the conscience of the normal voter. He demands no probes and seeks no inquiries. It was not Watson, you remember, but a Soma - Ist Congressman, who exposed what the Federal “,dg C iron, this district declared to he the most “shameful incident” of recent Indiana history. It was not Watson, but La Guardia who told the nation, and then had his charge verified that 330 cases of Squibb whisky, had disappeared from the local Federal building. So his action on the corruption probe In Pennsjlvania is thoroughly in character. Ho rushed to the cloakroom. Just like Jim. Let’s laugh. p g —save a smile for the vote of Senator RobMnson.'npt pupil of Watson, who always votes and acts and occasionally tries to speak like Watsom In the language of the race track and of November, he “also ran.” Indiana had no Senator when the Nation spoke against corruption.

1 love or pity ? once upon a time considerable energy was wasted on such discussions as how many angels • could sit on the point of a pin, or whether angels left f ° ot Nowadays we may argue what is faith and hope and charity, and whether love Is stronger that hate. The little st6ry of a woman in Kansas City ma> help here. She and her brother quarreled. About money. She believed that he had deliberately taken her heritage, leaving her to poverty. Probably he had. He lived in his comfort in a small town in the west. She lived in her barrenness. And each year on the anniversary of the quarrel she had printed in big type in the local paper—- " The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small.” The story got around. Other people knew what it meant. They smiled at the brother in his comfort. It rankled. And year’after year it went on and a sister ■ and a brother hated tynd did not speak. Then indeed had the gods ground “exceedingly small.” The brother crashed upon the rocks. 'There was financial failure. Disgrace. Shame. Prison bars. But in his hour of need he had a sister by his side. The hatred of years had been washed away by the freshet of pity and reborn love. Or does it mean something not quite so much to the glory of humans? Does it mean that love can live when the object of our love is worse off than we are, but can not manifest itself when we are worse off i than the one we once lfcvcd?

A HECTIC DAY Today Washington is buzzing as tho capital has not buzzed before in ages. All day yesterday, according to the correspondents, politicians there were running around in circles counting tho costs and forecasting the consequences of the debacle suffered the preceding day in Pennsylvania by the staunchest stand-bys of the (’oolidge Administration and the banner bearers of the bone drys. In the Senate things began to happen early. Senator Davis A. Reed, junior member from the Keystone State, attributed the defeat of Sector Pepper, his senior, to “the wave of resentment against prohibition.” Then he went’ on record as favoring taking tho question out of politics and submitting it to a popular referendum. It was a significant admission and more still a significant indication. For less than twenty-four hours later Governor A1 Smith of New York had startled his hearers at a referendum measure hearing at Albany by demanding that the politicians allow the people a chance to say what they wanted. Such was the beginning. But it was only the beginning. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi read some articles written in Pittsburgh by Leo R- Sack, staff correspondent of Scripps-lloward newspapers, describing how vast sums of money were being spent in tho Pennsylvania primaries. Commenting upon them, ho asked what to do. Senator Reed of Missouri had the answer. He demanded an investigaition of- the high cost of getting elected to office, say*

ing “here’s an act that if tolerated will eat like a cancer into the republic.” Then came the second big gain of the day as the immediate fruit of the recent events in Pennsylvania—a resolution directing a thorough investigation of campaign expenditures ala Newberry throughout the country. Yes, it was a hectic day in the staid old capital and not the least profitable one it has spent in recent times. • /WHAT PAROLES REPRESENT There have been frequent criticisms of the parole system, just as there are criticisms of anything new. But most of them are based on a few cases which for some reason or other have been singled out for much notoriety. The parole system is an attempt to inject a little humanity into the handling of prisoners. It is opposed by those who oppose, on principle, anything that faintly resembles leniency in the execution of legal punishments—"coddling” they call it. But the old-fashioned method, instead of frightening the prisoners into leading better lives, usually sent them out to be permanent foes of society. Intelligent boards of parole and probation are natural outgrowths of a civilization that is trying to improve itself. They are not to be condemned because they are incompatible with “tooth for a tooth and eye for an eye” principles. HAIL TO HOOPLE! Well, it seems that Major Hoople, that genial liar and gentleman of ease, fias invented an electric fan that operates—when it operates at all—by an eight-day clock mechanism. Don’t scoff, gentle reader. Don't Jeer at the major. Remember what the people said when they first saw Robert Fulton's steamboat. They called it ‘ Fulton’s Folly.” Remember, too, that Galileo was so smart that no one else could understand him and so he was thought a crazy man. Did not Sir Isaac Newton discover the principle of gravity by snoozing beneath an apple tree? Nay, then, do not turn up the nose at Major Hoople.

THEIR CHANCE The editors of newspapers which proclaim themselves Democratic and boast of their label, have their chance to demonstrate their power when they meet tomorrow at Martinsville. If they have any influence whatever, and the extent of influence of a purely partisan newspaper is always doubtful and often negligible, they might turn the sentiment of the delegates to their State convention to some man who can and should defeat Senator Watson in November. Os course, if they follow approved lines of waiting for their party convention and its politicians to make a choice and then shouting for him, no matter who he may be, they will have no influence either before or after the event. It may be possible that the party they represent has no outstanding character, nor a man capable ot capturing the popular imagination, no man to whom the people would instinctively turn with trust to escape the curse of Watsonism. Possibly these editors may believe that the party they serve is bankrupt in such men—or they may know of a dozen who could qualify. But a united demand for one 'man who can carry the real meaning of Watsonism to the people of this State this fall, who has courage enough to lay bare the record, ability enough to make It clear and integrity and principle to show the contrast might prevent the usual political blunders for which the Democratic donkey is famous. Certainly there are enough reasons why Indiana should change her Senators. Perhaps these editors, if-they tried to lead the donkey instead of riding him, can find a candidate who will give the hundreds of thousands of Republicans who are disgusted with Watson and the other hundreds of thousands of independents who do not like his principles or policies, a decent excuse for voting in November.

MONEY-MAKING: MAN’S WAY VS. WOMAN’S By Mrs. Walter Ferguson ■

Nothing so illustrates the difference between the sexes as their methods of raising money. Men go about this business in a sensible and e;isy fashion. They begin by organizing and appointing committees, estimate approximately what everybody can give, put down assessments, buy a lot of publicity, make speeches, allude to their workers as 100 per cent boosters, hlf© stenographers, make an enormous amount of noise and get the cash. Women, on the contrary, no matter how worthy may be their cause, generally approach the Issue with an apologetic spirit. They arrange some kind of a sale, and would consider themselves rashly extravagant if they advertised their purpose in the papers. They put in long hours at hard labor, do endless miles of needlework, walk their feet off soliciting inex pensive gifts, and when everything is over and they are ready to drop dead with fatigue, are delighted to have netted Women, especially housewives, never count their time as being worth anything at all and, whereas every husband feels perfectly free to make as many cash donations as ho pleases, no wife thinks she should do likewise. Her part of all charity must never be inscribed in dollars and cents; she contributes strenuous physical labor. She will spend a morning shopping for material to construct a garment, put in three afternoons doing the hand work, and then feel a hesitancy in asking any more for It than the amount she expended. Or she will cook all day over a hot stove preparing food for some kind of a supper, and then take her family down and buy back the meals she has already prepared nt home and ask less money for them than they wotild cost anywhere else on earth. In raising money women waste more time, neglect their homes and husbands and children more consistently, wear our more nerves, lose more tempers, and put in more hard work than at anything else they do, unless it be the pursuit of marcels. They will sper.d five dollars’ worth of time and effort in actual cash in order to get three seventy-five py selling something they have made.

June to November, inclusive, is the period for it. and throughout these, six months Philadelphia will be a-flutter with circumstance and embroidery. Tho name, '"Rainbow City,” ha,s been given to the sesqui panorama, and if ever a name fitted, this may Halm to he the one. it ;s emerging from tho dark clouds of financial insecurity, the murk of lassitude, the wind storm* of talk and the thunderings of political strife. From such a tempestuous start, the Sesqui appears now rs an arc of hope. And in the shimmering beauty of its dress and tin carnival of its page antry, athletics and human assemblages, it offers all the gorgeous color of any rainoow. Cost $20,000,000 The Sesqui existed mostly in blue prints as late as six months ago. Now, however, you may see a thousand men at work every day and night in League I eland Park, and out of their labor a $20,000,000 fairyland is being created. June 14 is the day for the first formal opening. By that time, say the Sesqui's officials, the big show will be 90 per cent complete. From the very opening day, the

Rainbow City promises, there will be a big half dollar's worth in store for every sightseer who drops in a coin to hear the turnstiles click. One of the first troubles for the Sesqui to survive was a bitter feud between the north and south sections of the city, over choice of the site. Then the program fell smack into the political breach which opened be tween Mayor \V. Freeland Kendrick and Genera! Rmedley I>. Butler, for mer head of the city’? police department. ' “Kendrick's own private shew." the Butleritr? ailed the exposition project. Rut nearly all echoes of the politi ml clash have died away now. They have been drowned by the bang and bustle of craftsmen and machinery. The hatchet has been buried beneath the plaster and paint and green turf and gay bunting of accomplishment. When President Coolidge delivers the Sesqui address on July 4—the If>oth anniversary of the signing of the Declar ‘ion of Independence—it will be mc.-e than the nation’s birthday.

And the *O,000.000 admissions of fifty years ago, it Is believed, will be surpassed by the big crowds of 1926. The liberty bell, most venerated of Philadelphia's lares and penates, is the dominating motif of tho decorative scheme. A stadium seating 100,000 is the centerpiece. An auditorium accommodating 20,000 persons—notice the figure again and think what a crowd —is about ready, and two giantsexhibitlon halls spread over an expanse of seventeen acres Benjamin Franklin, the Philadelphia kite fiver, will bo responsible for some of the most dar.zlittg of the exposition's splendors. There will be concentrations of electric lights visible. "tis said, as far as New York. To art lovers, the "Sesqui'' prom ises exhibits from nearly every corner of the globe. The “Gladway” is to be the playground of the celebration. Japan has set the pace in exhibits from across the seas.
