THE TIME TO ACT .The time to prevent trouble is before it happens. The people of this city are very much interested in seeing that no strike occurs on its street car lines. They should have some way of preventing any cessation of service, and better still, of stopping any discontent which might lead to any such outcome. The gentlemen who operate the street car lines have been treated rather generously by the people of this city in the matter of fares and they owe to tlio people something more than stupid management. It is inconceivable that in this day and age it is necessary to resort to courts in order to operate any public utility. The method of settling disputes between employer and the employe is pretty firmly established by precedent and practice. It is distinctly not achieved by arbitrary and arrogant refusal to listen or by arrogant and arbitrary insistence on demands. The business men of this city are interested and every man and woman in this city is interested in maintaining uninterrupted service on the street car ' lines. The time to act is before any incident occurs which might disrupt the orderly and customary operation of the cars. Certainly the one way not to stifle a protest is the use of policemen to throw men into jail on charges which can not stand a trial in court. The oppressive use of the police force is hardly the way to keep down discontent. If the charge made in the courts that men have been repeatedly thrown into jail and never brought to trial is correct, the city administration and the police force will have much to answer for in the event that any trouble occurs. The merchants and business men of this city, since the city administration seems to have failed to represent the people, might investigate conditions and take some action now, rather than to wait until trouble forces them to consider the situation. Someone ought to speak for the people of this s city. DANGER AHEAD A move is getting under way in this country that ;is loaded with dynamite. Senator William E. Borah, Wayne B. Wheeler," the Anti-Saloon League, the United Committee for Prohibition Enforcement and are opposing a free expression of the public ; will. The fact that the issue happens to be prohibition is beside the mark. The point is the people's right to be heard on any questionThis newspaper would be derelict to its duties .as a public servant.did it not point out the menace there is in any to obstruct the legislative desires of the people who own this country. One does not have to be a dry to see the danger; . one does not have to be wet to see it. If a minority by subterfuge or otherwise may force a majority to bow to its will, then Lincoln’s phrase that ours is a government “for the people and by the people” is worthless. Old-fashioned dc- , mocracy is gone. Here is a bulletin just issued by the United 5 Committee for Prohibition Enforcement. It calls upon drys everywhere to labor to defeat the dry referendum in New York State or any other State where one may he he'd. “If the drys take part in the contest,” it says, ; “the moral effect of a wet victory will be disastrous. An enormous wet victory would mean nothing. We recohimend a passive resistence; a noncooperative boycott.” Let no one believe the prohibition can be settled like that. It is here to stay until it is met squarely, until it is finally and definitely settled to the satisfaction of a majority of the American people. Os course a referendum is not going to change the law. Our 115,000,000 people might vote any way they wanted to iu a body and the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead would still be on the books. But we would know one thing. We would know how the country stood and could act accordingly and with due regard for law and order and all the rest. Senator Borah’s objection to a referendum is indeed difficult to understand coming from him. ■ He has been the great “commoner” of the G. O. P., is Bryan was among the-Democrats. We have looked upon him as an exponent of majority rule and of Lincolnesque ideals of governmentHere we find him out to prevent whenever he •can the mere expression of public opinion upon a stupendous national issue. A democracy like ours is, of absolute necessity, the product of compromises. Only in countries like Russia can a handful of men impose their will on millions. From 1787 on, the “founding fathers” showed every tendency to compromise, to give and take “for the sake of a more perfect union.” Had they not done so, today there would be no Union. So like the “fathers” we plead for tolerance; we plead for the rank and file of Americans who wish to make their voices heard. We plead against all fanaticism that would obstruct an expression of public opinion upon any subject, whatever it may be.

SOUR APPLESAUCE In Washington last night the House approved the $4,000,000,000 French debt settlement. It is now up to the Senate and there's the rub. The Senate is said to be determined to hold up final ratification of the pact until Paris takes action, and word from Paris is anything but reassuring. Premier Aristide Briand is one of the most eloquent and ablest statesmen in France today. But former members V>f the Herriot cabinet are said to be plotting his downfall and may bring it about if he attempts ratification at this time. And unless ratification takes place by the end of this month, it will, of necessity, go over until fall. v So there you are. The United States Senate does not want to ratify the debt settlement until the French do it first and the French may not be able to act until too late. The trouble is politics has gummed up the cards on both sides of the Atlantic. In France the little politicians have found it profitable to tell the voters they won’t have to pay any of these debts —to the United States, to Great Britain or to any one else. It stirred the pride of the French man-in-the-street to be told the world owes

lflm a debt of gratitude for standing, like Horatio it the bridge, and preventing the barbarians from tearing civilization to pieces. In this country politicians have been equally silly- They have told the voters how they were going to make England, France and Italy and all the rest of our former allies pay back every last copper they owe us, or know the reason why. This sounded good to the American man-in-the-street. It sounded like reduced taxes and all that sort of thing, just as in France not paying the war debt sounded like reduced taxes to the French. Now the politicians naturally can't make good and they hate to acknowledge it worse than poison. Over here the politicians must crawl down by voting to ratify the settlements which range all the way to 76 cents on the dollar to only 25 cents on the dollar. Over yonder the politicians must admit their error by voting to pay what they have said all along they would never pay. Applesauce is great stuff in politics. But sometimes so much of it is passed out that it sours and comes back to the producers. It’s pretty terrible to have to eat one’s soured applesauce. THE HOUSE OF DESPAIR If youth could see the end of the criminal's road; could visit for a day the house of despair and sorrow that is the last station on the route of the transgressor! Two Kansas City boys were given the chance the other day. The judge had sentenced them to 30 days in jail for motor car thefts. It was a police captain's idea that one day in the penitential, where they could see close-ups of the result of crime, would help them more. So for a clay they went to the earthly hell where men are caged. On the way they passed green fields where 'birds were singing. Otuer men bad gone that same way, years before, heard the birds and reveled in the gorgeous beauties of field and stream, for the last time. In the house of despair and silence, a train robber gave them the best advice a man can give. “Boys, I’m telling you the truth,” said Bill La Trasse, “crime doesn’t pay.” The boys looked out over the barren prison inclosure, w here men broke rocks and rocks broke men. They saw others toiling in the summer heat in a coal mine, hopeless men, automatons, machines, human picks and shovels. They saw still others sitting in cells, the light of sanity gone from their dull eyes. They have learned that bandit Bill La Trasse was right. Their eyes have been opened.

DISILLUSIONED A Cleveland bride, seeking divorce, married a bookmaker, thinking, in her trusting way, that he was a writer and manufacturer of books that we read. When he “put the bug” on $1,200 of her money, she got suspicious, and then found out that friend hubby was engaged in the hazardous pastime of betting that the people who bet on horse races were wrongHer next husband, one ventures to predict, will not be so literary. SOME DAY Anew Zeppelin is being built, scheduled for completion next autumn, which will attempt to make a non-stop aerial tour of the world in twenty-two days; starting from Spain and crossing the Atlantic, then to Panama and across the Pacific, and then back to its Spanish base. It may fail, but aircraft men won’t be discouraged. Some day w r e shall see aerial circumnavigations for tourists —and twenty-two days won’t be considered very fast, either. The first thing to do for a had cold is to look around and see if you can find a handkerchief. Most men have equal rights. Most of the arguing is done over their refusal to have equal w’rongs. Even if a man isn’t his brother’s keeper, there are times when he thinks his brother needs one. One morning we got up and we couldn’t shave because we couldn't find our styptic pencil. Sitting up until daylight isn’t healthy at all, because it takes you all night to do it. YOU MAY BE WEDDED, BUT ARE YOU MARRIED? % -""™““" By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Mr. and Mrs. E. Haldeman-Julius of Girard, Kan., who were married ten years ago by a Presbyterian minister, are going to have the knot tied all over again by a judge. In explanation of this eccentric move, Mr. Halde-man-Julius says, "I do not consider a church ritual a real wedding. Marriage is a civil contract and (he proper person to officiate at a wedding is a judge, who represents the State, and not a preacher, who represents the church.” j This is one of the things thqt is contriving to kill the' beauty of marriage to the younger generation. Too many of us now regard it as nothing more than a civil contract. In it we see no beauty, no* sacredness, no living loveliness of the spirit. It has become naught but a mere legal tie, such as a partnership In business implies. It may be all very w-ell to regard marriage in this matter of fact Way, but did you ever realize that when we attain too much common-sense we lose many beautiful things out of our lives?_ For there is something behind marriage besides the. legal contract. It is the profoundest human relationship. Something finer than the mere living together of a man and a woman. It takes on a hroader dimension than any other phase of alliance. It calls to the forefront service and sacrifice, the two traits without which man would be animal. Think you that a man and a woman who have tasted joy and grief together, who have created children out of chaos, who have worked side by side with one ambition and one hope, who have experienced sweet inner companionship of the spirit, feel that they are bound together by nothing save a thin civil contract that a judge may dissolve with a word? It is wrong to call all of our messalliances by the name of marriage. That they were sanctioned only by the law and not by the binding tendons of religion is the chief reason why they so often fail. For we feel that love Is of God, and the marriage that is based on love and not on lust is something too fine to be besmirched by a petty court.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy %' 1 Kingdom of Sports Money to Spare? Black Shirts • Bomf)s and Bombast

By M. E. Tracy. If no news is good news this should have been a happy world during the last twenty-four hours. Not that items of interest were entirely lacking, hut the absence of crime, accident and political situation siich as to actually force sport to take more than its usual share of the first page, with the English derby overshadowing all else. Five hundred thousand turned out to see it, they say, while $12,000,000 changed hands when one lord's horse beat another lord's horse. Gambling, winked at. condoned and participated in by the best society? No doubt, no douot! But such an outpouring of cash and excitement may help England forget the recent strike, or, barring that, help the government enact its proposed reacting tax bill. -!- -!- -IPassing to different, if not more worthwhile events, who ever heard of a White House spokesman that didn't want to admit there was cash in the treasury, or if he had to, who didn't want to admit that it was a good thing. That was the startling phenomenon this Administration presents. Somebody said with a loud and exultant voice, as one might expect, but quietly and unobstrusiveljf, that if figures didn’t lie there would he $250,000,000 to the credit of the United States when all accounts had been squared on the 30th of this month. No sooner did the White House spokesman hear of this than he went into a blue funk. In the first place he intimated — intimated, you understand —that it couldn't be true. In the second pkicc. he intimated that if it were true —well —. The White House spokesman is obviously of a timid turn of mind. He just can't hear to think,of $250,000,000 lying around as a temptation to Congress. • No one knows what Congress might do. It might decide to keep Muscle Shoals, go to the farmers' aid, build postofiii es all over the map. or, what is far worse, move for another tax cut. And to think. Secretary Mellon, the best Secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton, the White House spokesman said, should do such a thing, especially after lie had promised a deficit.

But, cheer up, Edscl Ford has come back from Europe declaring Fascism and Mussolirti are all right. Trains run on schedule, lie said, while the market for low priced ears looks good. As though to put New York in a good form to receive this favorable impression. 200 black shirts made their appearance in the Memorial day parade. Some Italians booed them. The argument over who invited them to take part in the pa rade. or whether they should have been invited, seems good for a threeAccks' run. I I I All of this brings to mind the bombing of that house in Massachusetts the other day which everybody is blaming on radical sympathizers with Sacco and Vunsetti. How many riots ar.d outrages those two unfortunates have really caused, it is impossible to say, but publicopinion passes up nothing that can be connected with their no matter where it occurs or how muchimagination is required. Even if the half is true, they have inspired more trouble than any two men and they are not so much to blame for it as the commonwealth of Massachusetts. The commonwealth of Massachusetts convicted them of murder and sentenced them to death nearly five years ago, since which time she has dallied with them like a cat with inice, apparently unable to make up her mind whether they should be electrocuted, sent to prison, put In the mad h.§use or set free. This hesitancy on the part of a sovereign State has done more to lend color to the idea that they were unjustly treated than anything else. The house bombed belonged to the brother-in-law of one of the principal witnesses against them and it is taken for granted that their sympathizers did the bombing, just as it is taken for granted that their sympathizers bombed our embassy in Buenos Aires a few days ago. In this situation it is worth while to remember that we have come to a point where trttles may come to a bomb. Asa K. Bartlett of Michigan, who has just received a life Imprisonment sentence, murdered three people with a bomb. He was moved to the deed with no greater urge than that he could not stand to see a man running things who had beaten him to a small town job.

DEMOCRATS HAVE CHANCE 10 GET SENATECONTROL Need Only Nine Seats and Six Republican States Are Wobbling. Timm Waahinnton Jturrnu, IMJ Sew York Amiur WASHINGTON, Juno 3.—Possibility that the Democratic party will assume control of the United j States Senate looms larger today than at any time since the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. It is already conceded that President Coolidtre will face a hostile Senate during the last two years of his term of office. If only four of the twenty-four Administration Republicans up for re-election lose out. Senate irregulars will gain the balance of power they have used in the past. Furthermore the Democrats need gain only nine seats to give them an actual majority in the Senate, enabling them to organize all committees. In six States it now appears the Democrats have an excelient chance of . displacing administration Republicans. tn three others they have at least an even choice. And in three more States liberals definitely opposed to most of the Administration program are almost certain of election. Tn Oregon with Senator Stanfield eliminated by the prininrtes. Bert Haney, former Democratic member of the shipping hoard, is the strongest man in the senatorial race. Oregon is up In arms over sale of the Admiral Oriental Mail Line vessels to the Dollar interests of San Francisco, endangering, it is believed, tlie northwest’s trade with the Orient. Haney left the Shipping Board as the result of a sharp clash with the President. In Nevada, Ray Baker, director of the mint under Wilson, Is opposing Senator Oddie. Baker Is one of the best- known and best liked men in the State and counts on personal popularity to elect him. Former Governor Sweet of Colorado has entered the lists against Senator Rice Means and seems to have an excellent chance of defeating him. In Arizona Representative Carl Hayden of Arizona seems an almost certain winner over Senator Ralph Cameron whose connection with attempts to keep the Bright Angel Trail and the Colorado River under private control of his associates has not helped him politically. In Massachusetts. William M. Butler, the President's right hand man in the Senate must battle former Senator David I. Walsh for his seat. Walsh was defeated by former Speaker Gillette only by a small margin two years ago. Gillette ran far behind his ticket. Butler has never before been a candidate for election. Kentucky Is the sixth State the Democrats may win. Senator Ernst's opponent will be Representative Barkley, joint author of the Hnwell-Barkley railroad hill. In Oklahoma. Maryland and Missouri, Democratic victories are easily possible. Brookhart will defeat Senator Cummins in lowa, it is predicted and Blaine In Wisconsin and Nye of North Dakota, both liberals have excellent chances of defeating their regular Republican opponents.
