No law shall be passed restraining the free interchange of thought and opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write, or print freely, cn any subject whatever.—Constitution of Indiana.'

PROBING- PRIMARIES Whether the Reed senatorial' committee, investigating the habits of the direct primary, is brought to Indiana or decides there is little chance of exposure, some inquiry should be made as to the limitations of the present corrupt practices act. The Indiana law provides for publicity of the expenses of candidates and has a very elaborate and definite method of making public the money spent by candidates. The purpose of that law, of course, Is to prevent - the corruption of the primary by the expenditure of large sums of money or the influence upon the results by great privileged interests. Just how far Senator Watson observed the spirit of that law is shown by the manner in whim the record Is made and the details of his account. The law provides that the treasurer of the club or committee or the person designated by the candidate as manager shall file the report in his home county. The Watson people organized their club In this city, the largest in the State and the center of interest. But they picked as the treasurer the collector of the gasoline tax. It was his Job to gather in the money and to spend it. He is attached to the State Capitol. But for voting purposes he maintains a residence in one of the smallest counties in the State, whose county seat is English. That town holds secrets very well. It held this secret so well that It was only when The Times began to probe into the primary expenses that it found that the expense of the Watson campaign was hidden away miles from any daily newspaper and in the most secluded county seat of the State. Certainly the Senator s friends thought little of the spirit of the law which js intended to give pub- # licity when they filed the list of his expenses in such t village. That, on its face, should excite curiosity if not suspicion. Were more needed it may be found in the fact that this report covers only the period between the time that Watson filed his petition as a candidate and the date of the primary.. Watson was a candidate for at least one year in advance of that date, if his own words as quoted by his most recent friend and his chief sponsor, the Indianapolis News, is to be relied upon. For in that newspaper, the foe of Watson for thirty years and now its most active sponsor, is printed an interview at the time Watson secured the undivided time of Mrs. Vivian Wheatcraft as his campaign manager to get the woman vote. When she announced that she would resign from the State committee for that work, it was Senator Watson who declared that for nearly a year she had been on the job and had now consented to give all her time to that work. If he violated the spirit, if not the letter, of the law in this matter, the Reed committee may be able to discover that other arrangements were made in advance of the filing of his petition. Watson says this State likes Newberryism, that it stands for and approves of his vote in favor of the huge corruption funds. Why did he hide his report in a village? Why is it limited to the two months he was in the open when by his own statement he had workers for months in advance? The vcyters may want to know. THE PRESIDENT AND THE LAW This is not a one-man Government, and President Coolidge can not make it so by ignoring the constitutional right of the Senate to pass on his appointees. That, in effect, is the meaning of a decision by Controller General McCarl that Tariff Commissioners Brossard and Lowell can not draw salaries. i Brossard was first appointed nearly fourteen months ago, in July, 1925. He is a protege of Senator Smoot, and became a member of the “Coolidge bloc” in the commission, the operations of which in favor of high tariffs has wrecked the commission and has nullified all attempts at scientific tariff revision. Reaction to Brossard's appointment can best bo expressed by quoting former Commissioner Culbertson’s letter on the subject: "I didn't think Coolidge would do the thing so rawly. Evidently Brossard (a former commission employe) has been playing with the sugar lobby and has received his reward.” At any rate, President Coolidge failed to send Brossard’s name to the Senate until June 26, 1926," nearly a year after,the appointment. All this time Brossard was' sitting on the commission, drawing his salary, and helping to determine whether the commission would function in justice to the American people, or in behalf of the tariff-protected interests. And the Senate had been sitting since Dec. 10. In its last hour rush, the Senate, having had his name-before it only a few days, adjourned without confirming him. Coolidge at once gave him a second recess appointment. It is this appointment, which McCarl virtually criticises as an attempt to evade the Senate’s action, for which Brossard can draw no salary. McCarl’s decision said: “It was the evident purpose of the provision to prevent the executive, by a series of recess appointments, from avoiding the requirement of law that the appointment be by and with the consent of the Senate." A PROHIBITION PARTY Dr. Gilbert O. Nations, prohibition candidate for President in 1920 and present editor of the Protestant, published in Washington, says existing major political parties have no intention of drying the country up. To be sure, there are genuine drys in the Republican ranks, like Senators Borah, Capper and Fess. But there are also wets, such as Senators Wadsworth and Edge and Representative John Philip Hill. There arf some real bone drys among Democrats —for example, Senators Sheppard and McKellar and Representative Upshaw. There are wet Democrats, too —to illustrate, Senators Edwards and Jim Reed and Governor Ritchie of Maryland. Wayne B. Wheeler is a Republican, but so is Speaker Long-

worth, a wet. William G. McAdoo, dry as the desert, Is a Democrat; likewise A1 Smith. Clearly both parties are dependent, in a national election, upon a great many wet as well as dry votes. What a political party Is dependent on, it can’t afford to antagonize. As Dr. Nations sees it, an individual candidate may be dry, but so long as he is a Republican or a Democrat, his party organization never will be bkek of him, and, by himself, lie can’t accomplish much. The doctor’s remedy for this situation is anew party —all dry. This isn’t in line with Anti-Saloon League strategy. The league’s experience was that Republican and Democratic drys wouldn’t desert their respective political groups to vote for a third party candidate even on a dry platform. In other words, they were interested in other issues, too, and objected to disregarding them in order to plunk solely for prohibition. So the league concentrated on a policy of supporting the Republican or Democratic candidate it preferred and only boosted for a prohibitionist in cases where it disapproved of both the Republican and Democrat. It must be admitted it was a system the leaguers got results from. It may have been all right as to putting across the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act, rejoins Dr. Nations, but it isn’t proving successful in the matter of enforcement. Nor does the doctor think that political conditions of today are what they were at the time the league was fighting to write prohibition into the Constitution. The Republican and Democratic labels meant something then, and a some Justification for hanging on to them. But now, he observes, “There is no substantial difference between the Domocratic and Republican parties on prohibition or any other subject.” What he wants Is a party which really is different. He has no objection to including some other issues, but he proposes that prohibition enforcement shall be the dominant one. His coriclusions concerning the Republican and Democratic parties are unassailed, but trying to organize anew and dominant political party of some permanence is something that hasn’t been done in many a year. It’s a real job.

A HERO PASSES There is pathos in the tragic: death of John Rodgers, brave aviator, who helped to make history. His courage and bravery did much to establish the possibilities of aircraft as a defense against an attacking foe. He It was> who flew across the Pacific from San Francisco to the Hawaiian Islands. He did this because it was necessary that some one establish the fact that airplanes are now a menace as well as a defense and to awaken a department of defense to the fact that the airplane is more essential than that battleship in the protection of coast lines. He did not falter when chosen for this task which had in it all the danger of unknown adventure and all the threat of death. Then he dies in a small drop into a tiny river. That is one of the great ironies of life and of death. The man who had spanned the vast seas with their angry waves and terrific storms fell a victim to the trivial danger that lurked in the small stream. That, however, is not “unusual. Most of our great dangers are never encountered. We are all made or ruined by the seemingly trivial. But no one can take from this man the heroic record which he made nor. the place he holds in history. He will le remembered as one who had the courage to brave death calmly and to conquer. His name will be listed among those who helped to make this Nation safe. The other day the ex kaiser looked across the boruer into Germany, but didn’t see any “For Rent” signs. Restaurants serve such poor meals most men marry and get their food from the delicatessen. One time there Was- a tourist who could fold up a map correctly. The faster you travel the more quickly age overtakes you. German scientist has a now cure for malaria. Part of old one, whisky and loots, was popular. A man arrested in New York for going without clothes was not charged with impersonating a woman. They prayed for rain in Kentucky and got a flood. Next time they will just ask for a heavy dew. Detroit man shooting at a rat hit a neighbor. It would be best to shoot at a neighbor and hit a rat.

LOVE AND MONEY By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A young girl upon the brink of a great decision says she can not make up her mind whether to marry the poor man sl)e loves or to take the one she merely likes who has money. She wants to hear from a married woman on the subject. r l his is a question no one but the person interested can decide. It all depends upon the sort of character you have. If you are a girl who feels that she must be physically comfortable, who can not live without ts. maid and a car, and who loves good times and parties', you had better take the man with money. If you have a lot of spunk and courage and energy and determination; if you carry in your veins the blood of some brave grandmother who trudged behind a covered wagon and bore her babies in the wilderness; if you are not afraid of work and of life, then you may step right out with your poor lover, unafraid. Poverty never matters much to a man and a woman if they love each other enough and have a good sound backbone apiece. To the indolent, the selfish, the weak, it matters tremendously. It is utter folly to say that young people should never marry until the man has money in the bank and a home provided. Had that been the case, many of us would not be here now. Indeed, most of the thoroughly happy and worthwhile marriages In the land have l)een made on the proverbial shoestring. BUt money matters these days more than it has ever done before. Only the most courageous girl can start housekeeping in one room, using the discarded furniture of her family, like her grandmother probably did. Today girls want pretty homes and good times. But the wise woman will weigh this question very carefully and pray over it a lot. What do you want most in the world? Love or money? Be very sure before you decide definitely. When you have made up your mind, you will know yourself something the anelenl philosopher advised. If you give up your love for money, you may be very sure that you could never have lived happily in poverty.

Tracy Gertrude a Normal Girl —That New Roadster Thrilled Her Most,

By M. E. Tracy A dead movie star, anew Messiah and the greatest woman swimmer jot her day—New York has certainly had plenty of chance to vent its emotions this week. You wonder how such varying waves of sentiment can succeed each other so rapidly without causing trouble. Somewhere In the, process it seems as though there ought to be a clash or at least a bad jam. Underneath .all the froth and effervescence, there must be a great deal of poise, more, perhaps, than some of the pessimists like to admit. Mmieymdens wceflfsthaoishrdlucmf -I- -1- -IA New Roadster What is a roadster, even though new and flaming red, compared to the applause of a nation, a SIOO,OOO offer by the movies, or the assurance of immortal fame as the first woman ever to have swum the English channel? Yet of all the demonstrations In her honor when she landed in New York, It was the gift of a roadster that pleased Gertrude Ederle most. She was thrilled by the shouting thousands, of course, by the formal receptions, messages of congratulation and opportunities to make money, but it was the roadster that touched her heart. •I-T -ILittle Things Life swings to little things in the eyes of carefree youth. A little boy riding his first bicycle, a little girl in her first party dress, a young man counting his first week's pay, a school teacher getting her first certificate these and similar triumphs are what count. There is something wrong with the young mind that can’t get a real kick out of them. l. That Other Youth When you see youth looking beyond the horizon for thrills, take care. There may be genius in the making. but there Is just as apt to be murder. That Brooklyn youth who killed his old friend and instructor would not have been so pleased with a roadster as was Gertrude Ederle. Neither would have he conceived it a very worth while feat to swirrt the English Channel. .1. .1. Physical First Growth is physical as well as intellectual, and the physical part of Its comes first. There Is small chance of producing a healthy mind in an unhealthy body. The body that Is not developed to a reasonable extent can not be healthy, no matter how free it may be from aches and pains. As between the two, there is less danger in too much athletics than in too much philosophy for folks under 20. A girl like Gertrude Ederle is less apt to go wrong than is a hot nouse flower reading Freud. -I- 'l' -IToo Little Athletics It is commonly thought that our educational system includes too much athletics, too much football, baseball, basketball, track work and other sports. My own notion Is that It Includes too little. Commercialization is the real trouble. We breed one star, while a thousand boys and girls grow flabby. From an individual standpoint, we have faster runners, higher jumpers and better swimmers than we ever did. From a collective standpoint, the fnajority can do rftthing but sit on the benches and yell. -|. .|. .|. Jazz Bi-Product Physical training has ceased to be popular In our schools and colleges, except as it furnishes entertainment through small groups. So far as the average goes, it means little. I think this has done more to upset the equilibrium of present-day youth than any other one thing. Our educational system, whether In school or colleges, furnishes poor means for the majority to let off physciftl steam. Jazz takes the place of sensible exercise and the mental monstrosity comes forth as a logical hi product. f -|. .|. .|. Laziness Blamed Wp weigh our children, examine' their eyes, and look at their teeth. We do not test their strength or muscle control, and we would not have to If we gave them the right kind of training. The normal child is bubbling over with eqergy. He will jump up and down if he can’t do anything else. The harder the exercise the better he likes it, and, barring some constitutional weakness, he ought to be driven rather than held back. But the child forms habits very quickly, and one of the easiest for him is to form is physical laziness. If his surplus enegrgq doesn’t run to his hands and feet, it is likely to run to his heqd.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Is America Forgetting Last Six Commandments?

The international uniform Sunday school lesson for Ausr. 21): "Ideal Human Relationships.”—Exod. 20:12-21. By WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist The last six of the Ten Commandments, which form the subject of this lesson, are classed under the title. “Duties to Man.” As we suggested last week, however, they imply—quite as much as the preceding commandments—duties to God, for God is honored most when men express the spirit of his love and the spirit of true worship to him in the dailly relationships of life. Here, however, in connection with these commandments we have special occasion to emphasize the place of the Commandments at the very foundation of society. Can one doubt that the disregard of these Commandments is the great secret of much of the unhappiness, discontent and wickedness in American life today? Where home has no meaning and father and mother are not honored, or possibly are not worthy of honor, how can one hope to see sound conditions outside of the homes of the Nation? On the other hand, a nation that has good homes, where father and mother are godly, where they surround the home with the spirit of love and service, and where they are themselves honored, will be a nation exemplifying a'*great social and political life. life Cheap Today Is there not need today of particular emphasis upon the Sixth Comandment?

Open Air Opera in St. Louis Closes Biggest Season in Its History

S‘“ "1 T. I/)UIS’ civically produced l municipal opera with the u.presentation of Victor Herbert's “Babes in Toyland” last Sunday night ended its eighth season, during which all recordg for attendance and receipts were broken, in spite of cold and threatening weather throughout the summer that jeopardizes the success of open air light opera. For the second time in its history the Municipal Theater Association presented a season of twelve weeks, with eighty-one performances being given in all, three being abandoned because of rain. The attendance on these eighty-one nights reached a total of 539,750 persons, as against 477,229, who attended the twelve weeks’ season in 1925, while the receipts aggregated $348,996, compared to $21*1,781.75 in 1925. The attendance figures include persons who every night filled the 1,600 seats for which no admission is charged. The production of Verdi’s "II Trovatore,” for which the Municipal Theater Association engaged a special cast of artists that included | Frances Peralta. Marion Telva and 1 .lames Wolfe of the Metropolitan Opera Company, attracted the largest attendance of the year, with 63.135 persons, while the receipts reached the high mark of $35,620.75. The "II Trovatore" record would have been seriously threatened in popularity by "Babes in Toyland" had not rain cut short one of the performances of the final work in 1926, for at each of the final four performances 11,000 persons viewed the extravaganza, fully 5,000 were turned away because there was neither standing room nor seats left. Every one of the 7,613 seats had been sold each night in advance and all the 1,600 free seats were occupied nightly long before the extravaganza. The financial success of the 1926 season was assured, officials of the association state, by the unprecedented receipts taken in, and it marks the seventh successive season that St. Louis’ municipal opera has eeen self-supporting. The first season was the only year that the guarantors were called upon to make up a deficit and they were reimbursed out of the profits of the next season. The receipts and reserved seat attendance of each of the twelve operas: “Eileen.” $24,324: 25,887.. “The Red Mill,” $31,266.75: 33,760. "The Chocolate Soldier," $32,688.25; 41,366. "The Spring Maid," $29,557.75; 33,017. "The Pink Lady,” $32,840; 39,191. “11 Trovatore,” $35,620.75; 41,935. “Sweethearts.” $33,967. 40,620. “lolanthe,” $25,620.75; 29,508. “Count of Luxembourg,” $27,964,50; 31,587. “Wqodland,” $22,909.25; 27,665. “Fra Dtavolo,” $20,891; 24.845. "Babes in Toyland,’’ $31,345.25; 40,769. With the Middle West public stajnplng St. Louis’ civic opera so emphatically with its approval, directors of municipal opera are now laying plans for a bigger and better opera in 1927. That St. Louis has accepted the standard quality of the productions is attested by season ticket subscribers who have already renewed their orders for next year to the extent of $75,000. -I- A- -IRr— 1 EV. W. A. (Billy) SUNDAY, famous ''evangelist, has rei___J turned to Winona Lake, Indiana, from his summer home at Hood River, Ore., and will preach in the big tabernacle named after him Sunday morning, Aug. 29, at 10:30 a. m. and is sure to have the usual capacity crowd which gathers to hear him every time he appears in this com'modious and excellent auditorium. Mr. Sunday’s appearance at this time is one of the events on the closing day of the program presented Aug. 2& to 29 by the School of Sacred Music, Homer Rodeheaver, president. , The other event of the day will be the annual presentation of the “Messiah” at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon under the direction of Professor Daniel Protheroe of Chicago, assisted by the festival chorus, the massed choirs and prize winners in the church choir contests, and the support of a thirty-piece orchestra under the leadership of Prof. Paul T. Smith There is no charge for these services on Sunday. Other outstanding events on the closing days of sacred music week was the appearance of Marion Talley. the 19-year-old prima donna of the Metropolitan # bureau last night; the gospel song contest <jn Friday afternoon, and the great church choir contests on today?

spread way but in very deep ways there is an essential disregard of the sacredness of human life. The life of the individual is held very cheaply in America at the present hour. Think also of the need of anew emphasis upon the Seventh Commandment as the foundation of good relationships between men and women and happy married life. Can one believe that the thousands of people in America who have disregarded that commandment and who have sought to find happiness in what they called “self-expression” have found any real satisfaction? Do not the sordid details of marital unhappiness and of the divorce ccurt scandals provide a striking commentary upon the meaning of this commandment and its inherent relationships to proper relations between the sexes? There is need today of interpreting the commandment, “Thou shalt not steal,’’ In broader and effective ways. Too long have we regarded stealing with the thought of the burglar who breaks Into the home at night or the pickpocket who filches something from a fellow mortal. Graft Is Stealing We have not properly questioned the real rights of property and the rights of many to the things that they call their own. How have these things been acquired? Have great fortunes been built up by graft and dishonesty? Certainly not all great fortunes have been built up in any such way. Patience, competency, effort, wise

MR. FIXIT City Engineer Checks Up on Utilities,

judgment, all have had to do with much great commercial success. But, on the other hand, there have been dishonesties too "often in high places, and men have pursued gain without regard to the rights of their fellows. It is in such matters as this that these Commandments find their full expression and interpretation in Christians. It is not enough merely to define conventional standards of what constitutes stealing. All these things must be tested ultimately by the spirit of essential justice aid love with Jesus enjoined as the only ultimate and true justice between man and man. Sound Rules Tr. i modern world might wt>lj have anew revival also of the Ninth Commandment. The bearing of false witness against one’s neighbor is one of the most tragic practices in modern life, in business, in politics, yes, unfortunately in religion, and in the very name of Christ himself there is all too much of this bearing of false witness against one’s neighbor. Can we not also approve the-wis-dom of the Tenth Commandment? Covetousness corrupts and destroys spiritual life and happiness. If a man wants sound rules by which to guide his life, if society desires true foundations and sound principles, where can either individual or society turn more hopefully than to the Ten Commandments interpreted above all in the light of Christ’s teaching and obeyed with the power that Christ supplies?
