TRIAL BY JURY If you read again, as all good citizens will, the Declaration of Independence on the celebration of its 150th anniversary, you may be struck by the fact that one of the reasons of revolt was the refusal of King Georgo to grant trial by jury to Americans accused of crime. It may be well to ponder a moment over that fact and ask how far we are drifting in the direction of the King George attitude. Last week the attorney for the AnthSaloon League obtained an iiijunction—and a fee of SIOO against an aged veteran, resident of Martinsville. He owns a farm and rents it. He has been unfortunate in his tenants. Some of them have violated the prohibition law by erecting stills for the making of moonshine. So the league, bringing into play the law it obtained from the last Legislature, has a judge order the aged man to prevent his tenants from violating this law. That sounds reasonable enough, until you analyze the full effect of such orders, possible under the Wright law. The operation of a still is a crime. If the owner rents his property for this purpose he commits a 'crime. If he commits a crime, he is entitled under what the founders declared to be an inalienable right of a trial before a jury. Charged with a crime, it would be necessary to prove that he had some part in the crime. Men who rent farms and houses are sometimes imposed upon. It might be just possible that even after the most careful investigation of his tenants, he could be led to turn over his land to those who would misuse it. A jury might believe him innocent of wrong intent. But if he rents his land to any person, uses all possible care, and then his tenant violates the lav/, he can be dragged into court, not for a crime, but for a contempt of court and a violation of an injunction. * He could be sent to jail for that contempt without a trial by jury. In the final analysis he would be punished for what is a crime. Technically he would be jailed for a violation of a mandate Issued by a judge. That is the whole purpose of the league’s law providing for such orders. Its leaders openly announce that It may be necessary to waive the bill of rights in order to enforce their law.* That is the''policy of the league, to impose its will and enforce its wishes, no matter if the re3t of the Constitution is tossed into the discard. How much does the right of trial by jury mean* to you? Is it worth keeping? Is the league right in its policies? Were those sturdy mqn who wrote that Declaration of Independence and backed it with their blood and fortunes, fools and dreamers? BILL NYE’S NEPHEW WINS The farmers of North Dakota are sending Bill Nye’s nephew back to the United States Senate. Maybe Washington will laugh that ofT and maybe Washington won’t. For Coolidge was made the issue in the Dakota campaign which ended Wednesday and the voters reversed the majority which they gave him two years ago. Not only that, but Nye—Senator, Gerald P., age 34—won on a platform that will sound ihore radical in Washington than the farmers’ plan of farm relief, which the Administration succeeded in killing last week. This program, however, doesn’t sound so radical, in North Dakota. It includes keeping the State in the banking business, the milling business, the insurance and bonding business, meat packing and manufacture of twine. The supporters of Nye claim that the Stateowned bank of North Dakota has reduced the interest rate on farm loans from 10 per cent to 6 per cent. That the State-owned mill raised the price of wheat 10 cents a bushel while reducing the price of flour $2 a barrel, and made $J14,000 profit; that the State's twine factory made $1,000,000 profit; that the State’s bonding, fire and tornado departments made $1,000,000 profit; that the State hail.insurance department has saved the farmers $26,000,000 in premiums. 4 lot of sincere thinkers will be'prepared to argue, in the fa cf any showing that North Dakota may make, that 't is bad business to have the Government in business. But even these must admit that the Dakota farmers have got hold of‘one vital principle in their efforts to solve the farm problem. That is this: That the fatmer will always get too little for his product and the public will always pay too much so it, as long as the present array of middlemen stand between the farmers and the public. In North Dakota they have comjfelled the State government to take over the role of middlemen in some lihes, absorbing all the other profit-takers and returning the profits to the people, through better prices for the grower, lower prices for the consumer and reduced taxes for both.

THE SPIRIT OF NEIGHBORS Out in Kansas Mrs. John Hubele’s husband died, leaving a seventy-five-acre field of wheat and a tenacre plot of oats standing. It was the height of the busy season, with all hands busy in their own fields. - 3ut they were not too busy to lend a hand. The other days eleven binders and twenty-seven shockers descended upon the uncut fields. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon the wheat and oats were in the shock#. The old spirit of neighborliness seems dead sometimes. In the cities people live next to one another for years and never say as much as “How do you do?“ A next-door neighbor might die and be buried without his fellows knowing anything about it. It is good to know that the spirit of the old neighbor, who used to rush in with a glass of grape jelly whenever any one in the family would fall ill, Ijas not vanished from the earth. WILL WATSON ACT? All of the brave words of the United States Senate on the subject of election slush funds will prove to be moonshine if the Senate does not call from the subcommittee today the resolution by Senator La Follette fixing a limit on the money that can be spent in esnatcMal primaries. Ail t<rdrave orators subject, Republican

and Democrat, will stultify themselves before the people of the United States, If they do not, today, insist that this resolution be brought out for action. The resolution affects the primaries yet to be held this summer and fall. It is simple and direct. It will serve the purpose. There is only today and tomorrow in which to act. Senator Watson, who probably doesn’t believe in any limitation on primary expenses, to chairman of the subcommittee now holding up the resolution. If it is left to Watson’s tender mercies the resolution will die in his pocket •* The Senate can take it out of Watson’s hands. The motion to do should be made and any Senator who fails to support the motion will brand himself, either as a believer in the practice of buying senatorships—or as a hypocrite. NOT ALL BURGLARS! A few European nations have formed the Idea that Uncle Sam i3 a pretty grasping individual This Impression grows out of a European notion that ovjr Uncle is nothing less than a burglar to think of collecting the money that is owed him. But over in Hungary the prevailing impression of America and Americans must be a bit more mellowed. Jeremiah Smith, Boston financier and famous economist, who recently completed his work of reorganizing Hungary’s finances, Jias presented his salary of SIOO,OOO for his two years’ work to the Hungarian people. Smith announced that tfie friendship and appreciation of the Hungarian people were ample pay for his services. It is a pretty safe bet that Hungary will retain a warm spot in her heart for Americans fqr some time to come—even though they are not all like Mr. Smith. TOY GUN; $250,000. A toy gun in the hands of a small boy caused a $250,000 fire loss In a department store in Gary, Ind. * The boy was one of a group making an inspection of a fireworks displa?'. He snapped a toy machine gun and sparks flew into a box of firecrackers. Roman candles, pin wheels, skyrockets and fireworks of all descriptions exploded, aqd in the fire that followed several were lucky to escape with their lives. If fireworks are to be kept away from small children, fireworks must rot be sold. "You can’t escape the fact that there would have been no fire had the store not been well stocked with them. NOT ONLY TRAFFIC There Is danger indoors as well as out. Hazard lurks even in the goldfish bowl. N Robert Cantalupo, 18-months-old son of a New York restaurant keeper, toddled too near a small aquarium that had been installed in the restaurant, and was drowned. Apparently one can’t be too vigilant where children are concerned. You would be amazed if you happened to read statistics on the large number of and astonishing variety of fatal accidents indoors.

THE WIND HOLDS OUT There were grave fears during March that the financial ship of the country would see some rough sailing. The apprehensions went unverified. Looking back over the first six months of 1926 we see the ship has been carried well along in her course, her sails well filled by a friendly business wind. The futures are a bit uncertain, the-prognosticators say, but that Is a way futures have. It is not wise to go bearish on American prospeots. Money made the mare go%but an auto makes the money go. Everybody enjoys the afternoon the boss takes off ; to play golf. Asa man thinks so is he, until his wife changes nis mind. The reformers might get together and reform themselves. A hen is trying to hatch a $760 condor egg at the Washington zoo. We’ll bet she is nervous. HOW QUIET SHOULD THE WEDDING BE? i - ■ 1 By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Probably no girl In this country but was thrilled over the story of Ailsa Mellon's wedding. For romance recognizes no rich and no poor. The wealthiest bride of the nation who gives her hand and heart to a man of small means is a lovable a figure as the beggar maid to whom a king strops. Not all girls may have waddings as sumptuous as was the Mellor.-Bruce nuptials, but each may have her own smaller affair, and even in the shabbiest surroundings the preliminary preparations for marriage are interesting. Many people nowadays object to elaborate ceremonials. They will advise lovers to go quietly to some sequestered spot, away from the world and their friends, and become man and wife without the bother of bridesmaids and rice. But this is never wise advice. • Every girl is entitled to her pre-nuptial good times, to those thrilling hours when she is the center of attraction to her small world. Ard keep this fact in mind. If all marriages were attended with ceremony beforehand, if guests were invited to the wedding feast, there would be fewer unhappy marriages. Not that large weddings make for happiness, of course, but they do give both bride and groom time to contemplate the step they are about to take. Large weddings are much safer than these jumped up marriages which are made on a dare or a bet or because a girl becomes suddenly over-persuaded by her sweetheart. Ceremonial weddings are often ill-fated, but the per cent of these that end in the divorce court is small when compared to the secret, hidden, eloping sort w-hich occur so quickly and are decided upon so hastily that neither boy nor girl has time to realize what they are doing. In countries where divorce is seldom heard of, and among peoples who regard the marriage rite as very sacred, weddings are marked by lengthy ceremonials' Among the French peasants and also ,the true Romany peoples, where divorce .is unthought of, the celebrations sometimes last for days. Can it be that these hasty marriages which we encourage have a psychological effect upon our ideals of fidelity?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Can We Successfully Challenge Personal Ingenuity of Public?

By ( M. E. Tracy With an appropriation of $29,000.000 an enrollment of 4,000 men and a carefully worked out campaign, General Andrews should be able to demonstrate whether the Volstead Act can be enforced during the next twelve months. One weak spot, as he himself admits, lies in the fact that even if the diversion of industrial alcohol and the sale of beer are stopped, people can still make their own liquor by processes ani from materials which the law does not prohibit. No matter how successful .the Government may be in guarding coast and border, or In putting bootleggers out of business, there is still the possibility of millions of home distilleries spoiling it all. f In challenging personal privilege, we have necessarily challenged personal ingenuity and If citizens can't get what they want through trade and exchange there is always the alternative of their turning to their own firesides for relief. It is not a pleasant thing to contemplate, but it is within the bounds of possibility that we have wrecked the big gin mill only to have It reappear in a multitude of kitchens. ■l* •!• -INot So Speptacular Considering flow the West resents the failure of farm relief legislation, and more particularly how consistently North Dakota has flirted with the Non-Partisan League, It is not surprising that Gerald P. Nye should have won the Republican nomination for United States Senator in that State against the Coolidge candidate. Another reverse for the Administration, of course, but so unexpected or spectacular as some of the others have been. •!• •!• •!• Work for Women “Civilization perishes where women are idle,” says Rabbi Mayer of Kansas City. They should go into industry, he says, "not in the limited sense of factory labor, but in the broader sense of all work. “Now that woman is relieved of the drudgery of past ages,” he says, “with nothing to do day after day, she spends her afternoons playing cards and her nights rushing to dances, trying to forget her idleness in a frenzy of boresome pleasure.” A lot of truth In that. -I- -1- -IA Milestone The great Delaware bridge has been finished and dedicated, a vivid illustration of how far we have gone since this Republic was established and a fitting monument to the 150th anniversary of its birth. It is nearly two miles long with a middle span of 1,750 feet and 6,000 vehicles can pass over it every hour, not to mention eleotric cars and fast interurbans. •!• •!• I , Corruption Yardsticks It is'illogical for Congress to fix a general limit on what senatorial candidates should spend. There is too much difference in the size and population of the various States.

New Tork, for instance, contains 175 times as many people as Nevada, while Texas has 250 times the area of Rhode Island. If $25,000 is a legitimate amount for a senatorial candidate to spend in one it is vastly too much or vastly too little for the others. Besides it is impossible to substitute a given sum of money for honesty. A candidate might spend SIOO,OOO without offense. On the other hard, he might spend only $25 and commit a crime. We have too much of this yardstick legislation altogether and not enough of that intangible, but wonderfully effective thing known as common sense. -I- -I- -IGrapevine Telegraph You wonder some times how information travels so far and why it takes such peculiar forms. So far as cable majl and the printed word are concerned, the process is easily understood and generally the right idea finds it mark, But the grapevine agencies that still play a large part In the transmission of thought, the* chance remark, the earless gossip and swaggering yarn—these are harder to define anA harder still to keep within the limits of dependability. Where, for instance, did that little Serbian lad get the Inspiration to run away from his home and visit the United States for the sole purpose of seeing Coney Island? We certainly do not regard Coney Island as the most worthwhile or beautiful thing in this country but that was his apparent conception. He has been two years making the journey, working his way painfully westward by stealing rides, begging food .and suffering all kinds of hardships. • The pathetic part of it Is that he should have, landed in Boston, instead of New York, and that the authorities will probably deport him without giving him so much as one single peep at the goal of his ambition and the altar he paid such an awful price to visit. $500,000 GAIN SHOWN An increase of nearly $500,000 in receipts of the office of Frederick E. Schortemeier, secretary of State, is shown today in the semi-annual financial report. Total business for the period was $5,034,018.50, as against $4,583,625.58 for the corresponding period last year and $4,044,879.37 for the first six months in 1924. The automobile license department shows the largest increase, $390, with total collections of $4,820,690.63 for the first half year. Receipts of the \corpora<{%n department and |he general business office show a $55;717.77 gate.

COURT ATTACHES TO WORK MONDA Y Criminal Judge Collins Insists on Holding Regular Ar> raignment Despite Independence Day.

Independence day means a holiday next Monday for most persons, but It has a singular significance for attaches of the Criminal Court, who will be obliged to work day—at least most of the forenoon. Judge James A. Collins has decreed that the regular monthly arraignment must be held that day and no fireworks will blast his determination to give all persons indicted during the past month an opportunity to enter their pleas in open court. “Isn’t that sickening?" sighed Miss Birdie Billman, deputy clerk. “I can’t plan any week-end trip because I must be back Monday morning.” However, Miss Billman admitted that- while her Independence will he curbed a trifle on that day, there are a lots of people in the county Jail whose independence is completely surrounded by thick stone walla and barred windows. "I wonder what a prisoner in his cell thinks about on Independence Day?” asked Miss Billman. "Perhaps after all. It is a little selfish of me to grumble when those poor men and women must realize that their confinement may be months and even years.” Mrs. Josephine Ahlfeldt, who assists Miss Billman In entering plaes of defendants, declared “it will feel funny to come to work Monday when all the rest of the courthouse will be closed.” “But there'll be plenty of time to celebrate afterward,” smiled Mrs. Ahlfeldt. Most of the county t courts will be closed for the summer vacation, to open again in September. Except for a few cases, there will he littlfe activity in the courts. However, most of the clerks will remain on duty to complete their records. Both juvenile and Criminal Courts will function most of July. They will be closed during August. These persons will be arraigned

graceful manner that one cannot nelp but appreciate her skill. She Is quite the best part of the act. Marietta Craig and her burlesque or “The Bat" provide the greatest amount of fun on the bill. The act Is done as a skit in which a maid goes to see "The Bat” and after coming home has some terrible deams concerning the play. No attempt Is made to follow the original plot, but R is kept before one in a comedy way that Is good for quite a bit of fun. Gene and Myrtle Moore are a man and woman who offer in a pleasing manner several rather sycopated songs. Personally thought their last number done as a bit from a party was the best. They were liked well enough to get a good hearty encore from the house. Bill Utah with some stories, some songs and a banjo is a good entertainer and has an agreeable surprise in the last of his act. He brings on a very good looking young lady whom he tells everybody is “Spanish.” In Stafford and Clifford, the man Is a real artist when It comes to making a sketch in water Colors on a canvas in a short length of time.
