WATSON AND THE FARMER Up a Turkey Run. speaking for the benefit of his new friends, the farmers, Senator Watson declared that the price of farm products was fixed by the amount of the exportable surplus. He was trying to prove to them that he and not President Coolidge, was right when he had pioned the Haugen farm measure. He was then endeavoring, as he is now, to lmo up that farm vote whicn he had seen deserting him. Now he insists that a high protective tariff is necessary to the welfare of the farmer. The two declarations do not jibe. For the records of the Department of Commerce show that the farmer has raised considerable “exportable surplus" every year since 1916. The Nation has sent abroad each year every staple raised on the farms of this country. So if Watson was right in his saying that the surplus fixes the prices, there is needed no tariff wall to keep out from this country farm products raised abroad. The Nation was selling, not buying, food stuffs There was no threat of competition. The farmer is beginning to wonder where he gets any benefit from the tariff for which Watson is fighting. They are beginning to understand that it raises the prices on the things he buys and does nothing for the products of his own labor. The Western farmer, especially, has awakened to this fact and is demanding revisions on articles which he must purchase. The point is that Watson is using, as always, the same old hunk which he has always handed out. His high tariff plea for the farmer and his argument against the Coolidge attitude on farm relief simply do not mix. r I ' PINCHOT’S OPPORTUNITY Outside of Pennsylvania the average citizen, with his country's welfare at heart, hoped that Gifford Pinchot might defeat William S. Vare and George Wharton Pepper in the recent three-cornered, three-million-dollar senatorial primary. Os the three candidates Governor Pinchot seemed the one really fitted by character and ability to serve in the United States Senate. The average person believed, that if he had been a Pennsylvania resident, he would have resisted the ten offers from the other candidates (to serve as a “watcher,” of course) and would have cast his ballot for Pinchot. Now, it seems, Pinchot may try his luck again. He is said to be toying with the idea of announcing his candidacy as an independent, notwithstanding he was a bad third in the Republican primary. The average citizen must see such an entry in a different light from the first. The lines have been drawn in Pennsylvania. The Republican party organization has accepted Bill Vare, Philadelphia political boodler, as its candidate. It hopes to elect him, in face of the certain fact that the Senate will throw him out when he appears to take his seat. It expects then to have its Governor elected with Mellon money, appoint a successor satisfactory to the machine. That is its program and just one man in Pennsylvania can possibly wreck that program. The man Is William B. Wilson, former secretary of labor. A clean, capable, high class man, with a long record of conscientious public service behind him, he has been nominated as the Democratic candidate against Vare. It would be difficult to find the important points of public policy on which Wilson and Pinchot differ. They agree on foreign affairs, even on enforcement of the Volstead law. Though one came frpm a wealthy home and the other from a coal mine,\their views on industrial and labor questions are Very much the same. Pinchot can not be elected as an independent. He may reduce the number of Republican votes given Vare in that overwhelmingly Republican State and thus slightly aid Wilson. Wilson can be elected if all the forces that resent Vare’g purchase of the nomination are united behind him. This would include the forces that follow Pinchot. The average good citizen, the country over, will be disappointed if Pinchot does not see his real opportunity and measure up to it. He should announce his support of William B. Wilson. If he sees this and acts accordingly it will be the biggest thing he has done in a truly creditable public career

“CONSENT DECREES” "Consent decrees’’ are defended and commended by the Department of Justice as saving the "delay and expense incident to protracted trials." Cutting expense and delay are most desirable. But are "consent decrees” the way to enforce the law? There has been great delay and much expense in the prosecutions of Fall, Sinclair and Doheny. No doubt the attorneys for those defendants would accept a "consent decree” which they would help write. In the case of Charles W. Morse, the family would no doubt consent that the whole matter be dropped and the property rights be left in status quo. New York's leading bootlegger, Mr. Dwyer, would certainly accept a “consent decree” to substitute a reasonable fine for imprisonment for violating the Volstead act, and would probably undertake to confine future violations to denatured alcohol or coastwise smuggling. It strikes us that there is a considerable difference between a verdict and a “consent decree.” A verdict is the result of an open trial; a consent decree l* the outcome of secret conferences between the lawythe prosecution and the lawyers for the defense. One of the earliest instances of a “consent decree" was the outcome of the Government's prosecution, under the Sherman anti trust law, of the Standard Oil trust. When the oil attorneys discovered the terms of the decree to which the Government had "consented,” the stock of the Standard Oil Company jumped up about ten points on ’change; and as u result of the consent decree (which was consent tc a dissolution which did not dissolve) the profits and the control of the greatest of all trusts have ever since increased. Roosevelt consented to Gary's steel trust. Coolidge has consented to the aluminum trust, the beef trust, the bread trust, the lumber trust, and many other combinations in restraint of trade, presumably contrary to the Sherman act. Perhaps the Sherman act is no good. Perhaps

trusts are beneficial. Perhaps they will flourish in spite of all law and all government. However, it does not seem the function of the Department of Justice to substitute itself for the law and the courts, and by “consent decrees" to repeal the law and do away with the courts. OUT GUNNING AGAIN "Ripley’s out gunning again,” is the word passed around Wall Street. Crash go the stocks, .gome of the leaders falling off eight to ten points. What is the strange power of this mild mannered Harvard professor that with his pen he can set the New York financial district all aflutter? Six months ago he wrote a little piece called “From Main Street to Wall Street." His contention was that the widespread i#e of nonvoting preferred stock for financing corporations allows the little fellow to put up the money, and the big fellow to see the show. He thought some arrangement might be made to safeguard the small investor. This modest suggestion upset Wall Street. The repercussions of the excitement were even heard at, the White House. Professor Ripley was reported to have been invited to tea to explain what it was all about. Now with the turmoil aroused by his last article hardly subsided, it is announced that he has prepared another. In this one he has another very simple and apparently mild suggestion. He says that most of us really have no way of understanding the financial affairs of our great corporation because of the intricacies of modern accounting methods. He says that some of the corporations ere apparently taking advantage of this fact to make it impossible to understand their financial position. Then he proposes that the Federal trade commission, already equipped with the necessary authority by Congress, should gather financial information from the corporations and prepare in such a way that folks in the country would have a chance of understanding it. It certainly isn’t a revolutionary proposal. It’s made by a man who has always been more interested in scholarship than in creating sensations, and yet it throws Wall Street into a state of great excitement and fear. What is the reason?

A UNIVERSAL TRAIT Those who believe that vanity is peculiarly a feminine trait of character will learn something from the publishers of “Who’s Who.” That book contains the names and records of the distinguished and the famous. It has kept its prestige by being careful. Outside of accidental officials, it gives space only to those who have contributed in some unusual way to their times. Now it broadcasts a warning that crafty gentlemen are trading upon the desiro of men to obtain some fleeting recognition by offering to include their names in books whose titles indicate that they also list those who "belong.” These tricksters understand that vanity is to be found in the hearts of men and that the desire for fame is quite as deep as the hope for wealth. And so they travel from city to city, collecting money from those who have gained riches but have done nothing more, for the privilege of seeing their n mes in type and their own complimentary comments upon themselves. It is a profitable business, so profitable that the warning has been sent out that these who seek payment in advance for copies of any suclf books have no connection with the recognized authority on contemporary greatness. Men who sneer at women who devote considerable time and effort to attracting attention to themselves may profitably take a glance at their own sex. Os course, these victims of the confidence men will never get into any real lists of great men. Real fame can not be bought. They overlook the simpler method of trying to do something worthy of attention. But if they did that, they would not be on the sucker lists. They would be too busy and too much interested to listen to the flattery of the “con” men. A married man simply has to do what a single man should. While women first, appeared on the stage along about 1790 many of them seem much older.

US HOMELY WOMEN By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON What does life hold for the homely woman? Somebody asks that question. Avery great deal, would be my answer—based on personal experience. There are some compensations for not being a raving beauty, notwithstanding the fact that every girl born into the*world longs to be doweled with physical loveliness. But, looking about you, It is plain to be seen that the average woman is far from handsome. And these women very often have just as much happiness as those who pose as artists’ models and take prizes in bailing beauty contests. For the gods are kind when it comes to evening things up in this world. Homely women have many blessings w hich are not vouchsafed to the beautiful. In the first place, it is three times as easy for a homely girl to keep a job. Men seldom like their offices disrupted by beauties and a great many of them have plain and jealous wives at home. A homely woman never overestimates her power She never worships at the shrine of self, but concentrates upon more important things and by and by loses the feeling of her own importance which, in the last analysis, is the essence of true happiness. No selfish person is ever happy. If she lands a good husband, she feels that she has achieved something and does not yearn for more masculine hearts to conquer. She is glad to have leaped the matrimonial hurdles, and dpes her very best to bring happiness .to her family. If she inspires love, she has earned it because of some love lines of character, some charm of manner, some depth of soul ,and this is the only sort of love to strive for, because it does not fade with graying hair, nor vanish when wrinkles come. Last and best of all, the homely woman misses the mental anguish which every beauty suffers—that of losing her looks. She is not called upon to wa,tch her complexion become sallow nor to see the bloom fade from her cheek. Life holds no more anguishing Gethsemane than this; To have been beautiful and to be beautiful no more. Plainness la not such a terrible thing, after all, and we have a lot of company in our misery.

Tracy Story of Bettis, the Aviator, Illustrates Human Capacity,

By M. K. Tracy This story of Bettis is a vivid illustration of human capacity and human limitation. Soaring •with the birds one day, he found himself compelled to crawl and fight for life like a wounded savage the next. That is typical of civilization. •I- I- IReal Intellect The notion prevails that ideas are confined to books, that education means an acquaintance with art and literature and that there is something wrong, if not devilish, in material progress. Asa matter of common sense, there is more real intellect in an airplane thaji In a Shakespearen play. Asa matter of still more comtnon sense, Shaqespenre's real greatness does not rest on the fact that he wrote entertaining plays, but that he gave the world its cue to study the human mind. Dreamers, poets and philosophers have taught us how to imagine, but imagination never amounted to much until it was made to express itself through science mechanics. -I- I- IOrganized Thought Civilization is a structure of organized thought. Books enable' us to can it. preserve it and transmit it, but its benefit consists in the way it Is made to take form in buildings, contrivances and machinery. The chair you sit in is a thought, or more accurately, a compilation of thought. So is the table at which you eat, the lamp that lights your house, the auto that enables you to move about faster than your grandfather could. Destroy any device or contrivance, and you have destroyed a thought. •I- -I- -!• Mysterious Phenomenon Flow of thought in and out of the human mind is the most mysterious phenomenon of life. The fact that we add a little some where in the process Is what makes the mystery. Thought flows in and out of the animal mind, but with nothing to show for it. Beyond instinct a dog knows more than he is taught, but man frequently improves on it. The Pittsburgh Case Madness reveals the delicacy and power of the mind like nothing else. Not until you have seen some beautiful woman or strong man go insane do you sense the depth and breadth of the riddle. The riddle becomes more appalling If only one or two faculties are affected, or if the spells are Interrupted by periods of rationality. Take this awful thing that happened in Pittsburgh and what is the explanation? Here was a man who knew the value of money, who possessed the ingenuity to make a bomb, and who had the cunning to devise a holdup game. He was Just sane enough for people not to recognize that he was Insane, but insane enough to commit a causeless crime. The fact that he could walk the streets without anybody recognizing his conditions shows that we can't tell very much about the mind by ordinary observation. And there you are back to mechanics again. Give the doctor his instruments, his laboratory, his drugs and his testing machines and he can do pretty well. Deprive him of them and he becomes comparatively helpless.

Civilization Mechanical Civilization is 90 per cent mechanical. You could build air castles without the materials and processes we have learned to employ, but not real ones. Plato eSuld dream of a republic 2,000 years ago. but his generation could not operate one, except In a small, partial and temporary way. Good roads were the basis of the Roman Empire. Railroads, telegraph lines, printing presses and many another device for speed, mobility and communication constitute the basis of modern Democracy. Back of the ideal of a league of nations, or a w r orld court, or international peace by some Improved method, Is world trade—England’s need of American cotton and wheat: America’s need of Chinese tea and tropical fruits; China’s need of Occidential products. Back of the world trade Is the steamship, the bill of exchange, the banking system, cold storage, pipe lines and so forth. But back of it all, and more puzzling, is man's capacity to two Ideas and produce a third, or 99 ideas and produce a hundredth. When the scientists are finished with their materialistic deductions, their evolutionary theories and synthetic philosophies, they are still baffled by the mystery, the unsolved problem of accumulated thought, the force that started the wheels going and that keeps them going within the human brain. Slaves we may be to the contrivances w'e have produced, but we are still their masters to the extent that we can make them Impotent by producing still better ones.

Arms and the Man, Said Shaw; So Says the Herron Art Institute of This City

The “armory” in Gallery 1 at the< Herron Art Institute constitutes a veritable treasure house for the one who is especially interested In all forms of arms and weapons, and aside from the inherent appeal of the objects themselves there is in this exhibition an appeal for every one interested in good craftsmanship because of the skillful artistry and in many cases the handsome ornament which is manifest. There are pistols of many types, some from Europe, some from America representing flint lock type, the old muzzle loaders, the early revolver type, and modern automatics. Several French “pepper box” revolvers are quaintly curious, and one of them is delightfully embellished with engraving on the barrel. Another nineteenth century French revolver is of interest because of its twenty-charribered cylinder, whose polished curves-, thin barrel and simple ivory handle reveal a grace and delicacy of feeling not always obvious in these instruments of assault or defense. An Irish pistol of the eighteenth century has an interest which is not entirely due to its age, its blood thrilling associations, nor yet to its old-time flint lock, but is very largely instigated by the beautiful curve of its handle and the shape and color of the delicately engraved mountings of polished brass. A trick pistol with bayonets unexpectedly released by a pull on the trigger guard, a curious double-bar-reled flint lock with swivel ramrod, a penknife which will discharge one cartridge and other ingenious mechanisms exhibit certain fascinating phases of the gunmaker’s art. Three cases of guns also open up other avenues of interest, and there are Oriental ajid East Indian weapons and shields, hedmets and implements which must have countless stories of daring and of romance connected with them. The exhibition has been arranged under simulated Tudor arches above the cases. These arches, shadowy in form, are of a period which harmonizes with the spirit of the exhibition. while the grace of their curves and the lines of the corbels in which they end adds a further note to the artistic charm of the exhibition. The new exhibitions scheduled for September presage the interest which the special exhibitions of the season will hold for the museum public during the fall and winter. In Gallery XI paintings of the Swiss mountains by Albert Gos will open on Sunday, Sept. 6. Mr. Gos is himself a Swiss and is one of the few native exponents of Alpine painting, one other wellknown artist of this type being Alexame Calame, whose lithographs of mountain scenes have been shown In the Print Room. A perusal of the list of the Gos paintings Reveals such titles as "The Matterhorn, Stormy Day;” “The Matterhorn, Moonlight;” Avalanche in the Springtime;” "Landscape at Vevey;" “The Fall of the Thrtftbach Above Zermatt;” “First Snow;” “Nocturnal Silence;” “Wind Storm," and "F’oggy Morning at Riffelberg." Meanwhile there Is still at least one Sunday, and In some cases two or more Sundays, In which to enjoy the special exhibitions which were arranged for the summer months. Aug. 29 will, for Instance, bo the last day when visitors may see the exhibition of Indianapolisowned paintings. Many have expressed their pleasure In being able to see these paintings which are so rarely available to t tie public. Three more Sundays unexpectedly remain for the two splendid exhibitions of fine printing, this good fortune being ours through the cancellation. by the city scheduled to follow Indianapolis, of an exhibition date, which makes it possible to keep the exhibitions here through Sept. 12 after they go to Chicago for exhibition at the Newberry Library. •I* -I- -INew show opens today at the Palace including: Edwards Juvenile Frolic; "Palace De Luxe,” Frank Parish and Steven Peru; Harry Stanley; Alexander Brothers and Evelyn and the movie, “Outside the Law.” tether theaters offer: "The Love Test” at English's; Nathal at the Lyric; “A Trip to Chinatown” at the Colonial; “It Must Be Love” at the Circle; “Watch Your Wife” at the Uptown; “Fine Manners” at the Ohio; “The Show-Off” at the Apollo, and anew show at the Isis.

Editor of The Times: Miss Trudie Ederle’s performance in overcoming the waves of the English channel by / swirotning across deserves all the honors that have come to her on that account. But let us not forget the deed of Miss Martha Bates, who slapped the face of an insolent preacher for saying that women are Indecent who bob their hair. Her deed will do more for woman’s honor and the independence of American womanhood than a successful crossing of the channel. Y’et the first is rewarded, and the latter punished. The men, who sat through the services where the preacher maligned their wives, daughters and sisters and allowed him to go unrebuked, should be compelled to wear skirts the rest of their days.. F. M.
