, KNOW YOUR STATE , INDIANA has one of the finest seats of State Government In the Nation architecturally. Designed and built, entirely within the original estimates and appropriations, the beautiful structure has taken its place with the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ monument In artistic appreciation. On account of the development of State business, the State House Is now crowded and cluttered with miscellaneous departments and additional office space Is contemplated by State officials.

SEEMS STUPID The Governor says he can do nothing in response to the request of the citizens committee that he name Aboard of arbitrators to get the facts concerning the controversy between the striking street car men and the company. The mayor says he can do nothing in response to the appeal of the city council that he take some action. . The public, which elected both these officials, apparently Is without any representation in a matter 4vhich is more tha nap rivate wa rbetween employers and employes. • It seems so stupid to wait until some misguided and 111 advfsed man puts dynamite on the tracks or the men on strike get hungry enough to seek another job. Fftr emerging' from all the ,arguments, of the spokesmen fA both these Interests, the big faot that v looms up is that a public utility Is failing to function as a public utility should. The appeal to the Governor from the members of his chureh organization for more transportation by bus lines should be enough notice to him that the people are being deprived of something they should' have. These church leaders told him that the people are afraid to ride the cars at night and can not get to their big revivals. He says he can not even let them ride In busses not operated by the car company. The citizens committee put its finger on the whole problem when it relayed the charge that the scale of wages paid to street car workers Is low and not enough to permit a man to live decently without working seventy hours a week,' or twenty hours longer than the now accepted limit for labor. Either that charge is true or it is untrue- A large number of efficient men who once operated cars are staking their present comfort and their jobs on that fact. Others, as many in number, seem to deny it by remaining at work. The people pay all the bills. They pay when the company asks and gets an increase in fares. They pay in inconvenience and lack of service when it falls. The people of this city are entitled to good service. They are entitled to ride with men who can safely operate the cars. They are entitled to ride without fear of bombs. They are entitled to ride with men who are paid a decent wage, because they pay those wages. There Seems to (be a lot of stupidity In the situation —stupid leadership, stupid arrogance, stupid leadership in the State House and the city hall. Someone should act for the people and In the name of Justice. THE GOLDEN RULE WORKS During a period' in industrial history when strikes cost millions of dollars both to employer and worker, the example of Arthur Nash, “Gojden Rule" Cincinnati, stands out as a shining lightNash is a clothing manufacturer. In 1918 he had a $182,000 business. This year it will reach something like $20,000,000. The' golden rule has built* It Nash’s plan Is not proflt-sharfng, but a wage scale worked out so that a small pipflt goes to the company, the rest to employes. Every increase In wages Is based on increased production. Each employe, from scrubwoman to designer, gets the same share in the wage increase as an addition to the case pay. The Golden Rule should not be confined to Church, on Sundays.

AN ANNIVERSARY Eight years ago today American and allied soldiers were fighting together in France in the grand offensive which began the march to victory. A German drive had been checked. French and Americans launched an attack along a twenty-flve-mile front between the Marne and the Aisne, which turned the tide of war. The Germans everywhere began to retreat. On July 21, 1918, Americans and French soldiers entered Chateau-Thlerry. There were in Europe at that time upward of a million and a quarter American soldiers, 700,000 of whom were at the battle front. More were on the way. It is perhaps not a miss to recall these things, as the cables describe the mounting tide of hatred against America throughout Europe. Commons devoted six hours yesterday to a condemnation of the attitude of the United States toward war debts. One member went so far as to say America entered the war “because of common motives and ideals, or as a mere mercenary,” and 3aid Americans make “commercialism a god.” A leading London newspaper caricatures Uncle Sam as “Uncle Shylock.” Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, And Secretary Mellon engage in acrimonious interchange through the newspapers. In France the new premier, Herriot, prepares to repudiate the Berenger debt agreement. Surely this is cry from the unity and idealism of that summer of eight years ago when America was acclaimed savior of the worldThinking Americans and Europeans alike will deplore the ill feeling that has arisen, and wonder at its consequences through all the years the debt agreements have to run. / It may not help matters to' point out our sacrifices in blood and money. It may |miil little to reiterate that ( *we canceled 25 per cent of the ,British debt, 50 pei(cent of the F|ench and 75 per cent of the Italian, (and that we negotiated settlements on what believed to be the capacity of to pay. Secretary Mellon’s assertion that agreement amounted to nothing

more than a funding of post-armistice obligations, with the war debt itself canceled, may come too late to allay ill feeling. \ Yet the picture Europe has of America, and her ideas of American motives, is a false one. European politicians have misrepresented for their own ends, and to cover their own follies. American diplomacy has blundered In its failure to put this country before the world in a true light, and intemperate politicians have contributed to the ill will. America today is not greatly different from the America whose soldiers marched 'into Cha’teauThierry eight years ago. Europe needs America, and America needs Europe. There should be no hatred, and leaders on both continents must devote themselves to its eradication. l " I A SUGGESTION The corn belt farmers want relief. The gist of their arguments ;s that they sell their products for low prices, and then turn around and pay high prices for the things they need. Right now their attacks are concentrated on the tariff, which they claim favors the manufacturers at their expense. Revision of the tariff, however, is only one of a number of ways of getting farm relief. Another is 'suggested by the resignation of Vernon Van Fleet of this State from the Federal trade commission. Van Fleet’s resignation leaves the commission of five members equally divided—twp on a side—between liberal and conservative or Reactionary members. Commissioners Thompson and Nugent are liberals. Commlssloqera Humphrey and Hunt are pretty consistently found on the other side of fence, arguing for the holiness and sanctity of existing industrial and commercial arrangements. Van Fleet has generally sided with Humphrey and Hunt. The result has been that the Federal trade commission, except for the generally Ineffective protests of the minority, has tended to 'become little more than a rubber stamp. The commission has broad powers in the field of monopoly, restraint of trade, and unfair competitive practices. If a majority of the commissioners want to it can do a great deal toward keeping organized business and Industrial interests from exploiting farmers. Whether It will want to, of course, depends upon the kind of commissioners who are appointed. With the resignation of Van -Fleet and the expiration of Thompson’s term in September, the commission will be made over in the next few months. The lines along which it will be made over by Coolidge appointments will make a great deal of difference to the distressed farmers. Perhaps they wouldn’t make a mistake in devoting some of their attention to the appointments to be made for this potentially powerful commission.. SHIP SUBSIDY When the Coolidge Administration set its face against any special privileges to the. farmery, on the ground that it wduld be unsound economics, it did not give up its belief in special privileges to other classes. On the contrary. It believes in special privileges to the shipping Interests, for example. Elsewhere In this newspaper today is a Washington dispatch setting forth the views of Brig. A. C. Dalton. Dalton is the new head of the United States Fleet Corporation. He takes the place of Elmer Crowley, who was asked to resign because he insisted on getting the best price possible for the splendid ships which the Government is now engaged in selling. v Dalton, you will read, believes In ship subsidy, although he would prefer to / use another word, one that Isn’t already in such bad favor with the American people. He is quite frank about It He believes not only in selling the great trans-'Atlantic liners at prices that will please the buyers, but in building more liners with the people’s money and selling them at similar favorable terms to the private shipping Interests. He explains that he is in complete agreement with the Administration’s purpose* in this respect ‘ i Babies are handy things. Many a man would be stiff if it weren’t for picking up things after the baby. The world’s so strange. They say the world loves a lover. Mosquitoes love every one. Every one hates mosquitoes.

A LITTLE SARCASM ON POLITICS —By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

The women of the country have entered into a period of deep depression. Those who have advocated and fought for equal political rights are beginning to feel hopeless. Hitherto it has been our ‘intention to strive to show the same valor as those men who serve their country’s cause in congressional halls. We have wanted be believe that no matter into what field of action we were called, that our efforts would never shame our sex, nor our deeds cause us to feel Inferior. That hope has flown. The time has come when wemust face the sad fact that 'somehow our political enthusiasm is lacking. It is going to be impossible for us to acquire the same view of statesmanship that the men now harbor. We shall have to outlive the parsimonious instinct of the agei before we pan enter with such gusto and generosity into any political campaign. Long we have hoped that in time we could make some impression upon national affairs. Now we that ours is a lost cause. After the financial scramble in Pennsylvania which the men called a primary, we women have come to understand that we are wanting some magnificent ambition which brings men to the gates oi the capital through great difficulties. Have we been, created without that swift flame of patriotism that incites men to -spend their all In order to serve their country in the Senate? Can it be that we do not love our native land as ardently as they? Be that as it may, no woman who ever had a fortune in her hand would throw it away trying to elect a Senator from any district in the world. We are now ready to admit that the jnen have outdistanced us in ardor ,to their country’s cause. When they are so loyal, Ao eager, so anxlqua t<% become the servants of the common people as to sacrifice vas* fortunes to that end, we are ready tp say that we are signal failures in the political world. We do not suffer so poignantly over the wrongs of the proletariat. Let us go back into the kitchen. Politics is no place for us. We are at last ready to confess that we can never hope to compete with the ardent, generous, whole-hearted, single-purposed, valiant, noble, heroic, patriotic men. The Pennsylvania primaries spelled Waterloo for women. • • • - - -- -

THE INDIANAPODIS TIMES

Tracy We Have Been 'Lawmg’ Much.

By M. E. Tracy “I do not sympathize with .those who blame our police,” says Herbert Hoover. “The views expressed by the Bar Association, crime comfifission and other national bodies fully expose the fact that those who are arrested and glilty, in great proportion, escape somewhere In the tanglf \of our administration- of law, and that a large part never serve adequately when convicted. That is not the fault of the police. It is rather their discouragement. "When we have the sense, to strengthen and reorganize *our court procedure,” he says, “wheft we transfer our maudlin sympathy for bad men to real sympathy for people who are injured by crimes against them, then and then only, can the police of our country become efTectitve in public protection.” Hoover was speaking to the police chiefs of the United States and t'anada, and some ai.owanee is to be made for the natural desire to please his audience. A"t the same time he put his finger on an obvious fault in our attitude toward the criminal. I visited a murderer once, a man convicted of a beastly, Inexcusable crime, for which he was afterward electrocuted, and found a lady giving him lessons in art. Still, I caffhot believ@ # that "maudlin sympathy” for bad men i* either the sole, or even the principal, cause of our apparent Inability to deal with crime. I think we have been "lawing” it altogether too much, that we have piled up an impossible task for our police arid prosecuting attorneys and that we are suffering from that kind of fatigue and demoralization which always comes from overdoing a good thing. / * •I- -I- -I----"Noblle did not pilot the Norge,” says Ellsworth. “Ellsworth was a mere passenger,” retorts Nobile. So the flight over the pole peters out In a dispute as to who should have the honor. When the Schley-Sampson controversy arose as of~who wori the battle of Santiago, Schley would none of it, saying, "There is glory enough for all,” thus proving himself the bigger man. H -I* - Dumb Parties . Farm relief, like so jnanymther issues, finds both great parties dumb with disagreement. If-Republicans must bear the responsibility of having done nothing, the Democrats are faced with a record which suggests that they couldn’t have done much more. Asa matter of fact, the majority of Democratic Congressmen voted against farm relief-measures. Including no less than fourteen Senators from the agricultural South. Farm relief is Just one more Illustration of how inarticulate we have become through a bipartisan system which has substituted opportunism for principle. / Built around the doctrine of State rights, the Democratic party put over national prohibition, while the Republican party, which developed as an exponent of centralization, Is abandoning it because of its interference with big business. *!• *l* + A Spilt Camp And now Mexico is threatened with a railway strike, caused, as it would seem, by a row Inside the labor camp. The railway men do not Tlelong to the general federation, claiming it Is not devoted to trade unionism, but to politics. The federation has undertaken to 'convert the railway men to a different view by various means, so that their organization is now badly split. Morones, head of the federation arid minister of industry and commerce in the Calles gtWernment, says tho railway men,,are striking merely to prose that'they can defy the labor government.

I + + A Timely Declaration Rudolph Valentino is mad. He regrets dueling is not allowed in this country, but sinca it is not, he wants to box, or wrestle somebody. It is ail because of an editorial in the Chicago Tribune, which accused Rudolph of being responsible for the popularity of powder puffs among young male’s of this generation. Rudolph says that ms challenge to box or wrestle the writer Is not a publicity stunt, which comes as a timely declaration, because, under ordinary circumstances, that would be the inference. V *.* Broken France Fifty to the dollar and still falling, which means that the franc is now worth about one-tenth of what it' ought to be and that it is pretty sure to be worth still less. Washington stands firm on the debt pact, professing an astonishing degree of optimism, but admitting that there is likely to -tje a change of ministry in France' every fortnight apd that each change will add to the demoralization. Herriot is reported to have hit on a plan for rehabilitating France without foreign loans. Financial experts say this la impossible. , Washington, taking Its cue from their opinions and knowing that France can get no loans without ratifying the debt pact, still looks for her to get in line. The idea that France can go broke has just occurred to Washington apparently, but she can. FUGITIVE IS PUNISHED Louis Hoard of New Albany, Ind., sought for seven months by Federal authorities/ was sentenced to sixty days ip the Floyd County jail and fined '/100 by Judge Robert C. Baltzell, Tuesday for violation of the liquor law. He surrendered .-I’mself to the United States marshal, Monday.

New Recording Process of Brunswick Catches Very Soul of the Pipe Organ . By Walter D. Hickman

We have heird a lot about "better movies” but just now it Is phonograph records.”. Anew electric method of recording now used by Brunswick makes possible better recording than ever in the history of the phonograph. This was proven to me the other night when I first played a pipe organ record. Brunswick has just released two pipe organ selectioijs, played by John Priest on the Skinner organ in the New York studio. The two numbers played by Priest includes the popular "After I Say I’m Sorry” and "Drifting and Dreaming.” Although these are popular tunes yet Priest under the new recording process seems to release the very soul of the organ. I can say with ease that this Brunswick organ record has caught the true tones and possibilities of the organ better than any other record which has come under my obseVvation. There Is great beauty in the organ and it remained for the movie theater to show the popular possibilities of this instrument. Os course the organ has for years and years been of marvelous service in the church, but It has- at home qualities as well. * And these at home qualities will be developed under the new recording' process of Brunswick. If you want to hear a pipe’ organ record that is a pipe organ record then get hold of this -Brunswick-Prisst contribution. Some Tango Spanish and tango music is being pushed to the front these days and the public is responding to this form of music. Okeh has just sent* me two Argentine tango records played by xJustiniano’s Typical Argentine Orchestra. The record includes two tangos, ’’Julian” and “The Fool.” Here are two numbers filled with that Argentine and sort of Spanish fire which makes one want, to click his heels in sympathetic time to the melody. This Okeh record will delight you, I am sure. # Pleased to tell you that Nick through Brunswick has just released anew one. Including "My Bundle of Dove” and “No foolin’ ” from Zlegfeld’s "Palm Befhch Nights.” Nick is present with his guitar and famous crooning stuff. Brunswick has a knockout “Valencia” record played by Ben Selvin and his orchestra. Jlave told you about the Okeh “Valencia.” The Brunswick is a triumph. Hawaiian Music N Was asked the other week to list some Hawaiian Music and now comes along Columbia with such a list.

Married on Only $8.33 —Then It Rained Oil

Senator J. W. Harreld and Mrs. Harreld \

Senator HarrelcTs Whole ‘Family Were ‘Soaked in Luck.’ KF.A Service WASHINGTON, July 21.—Little Laura Ward married a penniless young lawyer and* found herself, a few years later, the wife of a captain of finance, a Senator and almost a legendary figure'of *the Southwest. “Lucky” John Harreld’s story has become part of 'he mythology of Oklahoma, during the twenty years in which, by the practice of law and by oil Investments, he turned an original capital of $8.33 into a fortune of several millions. For seven of these twenty years, Senator Harreld has held a seat In Congress. He is chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, and a member of the judiciary, agricultural and buildings and grounds committees. Was “Town Girl” His rortiance wth Laura Ward dates from his Kentucky boyhood. He was a farmer’s son, born near the little village of Morgantown, in which Laura spent her childhood. He went away to school and returned a teacher. Laura Ward had grown up and now merited the Serious attention of the farm boy, who had always regarded her as just one of the “town girls/’ Their renewed acquaintance led to a wedding in 1899 between a povertystricken young man just taking up law and a girl whose only resources were her faith in her husband’s ability and her plucky will to help him. Harreld entered a law firm and climhed steadily. He served as prosecuting attorney for four years. He Goes West In 1906 he determined to go West and “grow up with som? ljew State.” He spent his evenings poring over maps. The great pink space labeled “Indian Territory” lured his gaze again and again. Here was a State in embyro, not yet admitted to the Union, v He packed his belongings and boarded a train with his wife and baby boy, Ward. He had not decided whether to go Ux, Holdenville, Ardmore or Tulsa. \ Stroke of Fate But a stroke of fate kept them In Ardmore. 7’he baby became ill with pneumonlai there, and lay between life and death for days.

Harreld had made so many friends that she did not wish to.leave. Harreld put up his law shingle in a little office and began that spectacular career of which Oklahoma is still talking. He held the offices of county attorney, master in chancery and referee in bankruptcy. He made money by his law practice in amounts that were extraordinary in a small town. Nearly every one dabbled in oil, but he was fabulously successful. He began to be known as “Lucky John” and to be looked' to for political achievement. He moved to Oklahoma City and was elected to Congress In 1919, to fill the term of Joseph B. Thompson, deceased. A year later he came to the Senate. A Romance His part In the oil boom Is a romance all by itself. lie was one of three men who leased a plot of land for $25. They brought In a gusher that laid the foundation for his present wealth. With his wife and boy he visited the well for the first time on Thanksgiving day, 1914. He tells of standing under the scaffolding and watching the drillers. Soaked in Luck “Suddenly there was a spout of oil high Into the air and a shower that drenched us. We turned and saw one another’s oil-smeared faces. My wife laughed hysterically. The boy and I grinned, too. “When we got back to the railroad the last train had gone and we had to go to town, drenched as we were, on a hand car. But we didn’t Care. We were soaked in luck and we knew it.” INDICTMENT DEMANDED Ft. Worth Pastor Wants an 'Unbiased Acquittal. Bu United Press FT. WORTH, Texas, July 21. With the Rev. J. Fpnk Norris, pastor of the First B&ptist Church, sounding an appeal that he be indicted for the murder of D. E. Chipps, lumberman, the county grand .jury today opened its second day’s investigation of the murder. Norris, who shot Chipps after the two had an argument Saturday, said an indictment should be issued in order that he might be given an unbiased acquittal. “I as well as my congregation demand an indictment,” the dynamic pastor said. He made this plea after it had been reported that the grand jury would vote on a “no bill” against him.
