THE LESSON OF LENROOT ‘ Outside of Wisconsin probably little interest is taken in the fate of Irvine L. Lenroot, defeated this week for renomination to the United States Senate. National interest has lain chiefly in the question of whether the La Follette forces, under young Bob, would retain the hold of this important State achieved by the elder La Follette. Lenroot, in the national imagination, is a pale personality. It is worth while to review one aspect of the campaign against Lenroot, therefore, because it illustrates the part played by such pale personalities ip our public affairs. There may be a lesson in It for other States. “Do you remember Teapot Dome?” young Bob asked each of his audiences during his stumping tour against Lenroot. Each time he was met with angry applause. The Wisconsin voters do remember Teapot Dome. They remember the part played by their fighting Senator, the elder Bob, and the part played by their conservative Senator Lenroot. A four-hour speech by the late Senator La Follette on April 22, 1922, was the beginning of the Investigation into the national oil scandal. He called attention to the. leasing of the naval oi’ reserves to the Doheny \nd Sinclair Interests and demanded an Inquiry. Ordinarily Lenroot, as chairman of the .Public Lands Committee, would have directed such an’ inquiry, but La Follette suspected Lenroot of Indifference and asked Walsh of Montana to take the initiative. Walsh’s energy in the matter caused the ousting of Secretary Fall and Secretary Denby from the Cabinet. Young Bob, In his speeches, told of Lenroot's visit, accompanied by Senator Smoot, to Fall’s hotel rooms for secret conference during Christmas week, 1923. Following this conference came that letter from Fall to Lenroot in which Fall said he had obtained a loan of SIOO,OOO from Edward B. McLean. McLean, under oath later, was forced to admit that he had not loaned this sum to Fall, and the story of Doheny’s sending the money to Fall In the famous little black bag,came out. When Walsh went to Florida to obtain Fall's testimony, it was to Lenroot that Fall wired his protest —a cry for help, in fact. With the Senate aroused over the revelations, Lenroot conferred with President Coolidge. Soon after, with illness as his reason, he retired entirely from the inquiry. Telling the story, step by step, young Bob declared: | “The record speaks for itself, and It cannot be eliminated as a most important issue in this campaign.”* * _ Then he took up the matter of the vote to seat . Newberry, whose expenditure of $195,000 for a senatorial nomination in 1918 was a national scandal in those days of small figures. He quoted Lenroot’s speech defending Newberry, Just as Watson defended Newberry and still defends his own vote. Lenroot’s course in these two cases unquestionably contributed greatly to his defeat this week. The United States Senate contains many who have the same friends as Lenroot. They are coming up for re-election. Will Indiana show as much intelligence as has been shown by Wisconsin?

THIS IS THE NEWS What/f the, news of the day? Two New York girls, both 12 years old, swam seventeen miles. A woman was killed in Philadelphia when a fire engine skidded and crashed into a window. Dawes has gone fishing again. An expedition, returned from Africa, brings anew kind of ant eater. Mascagni, Italian composer, has cancelled his visit to the United States The rail strike in Colombia has ended. What s the news? We find hundreds of such articles. They are common. They come into our homes daily. Among them, recently, are* brief announcements of hog calling contests in Nebraska, Texas, and many other states. While haVing no bearing upon the trend of important current events, these hog-calling contests are intriguing. They fire our imagination. We picture a man out in the open yelling to his heart's content. \\ e would like to do the same. That's why we are Interested. We wouldn’t care to end a strike in Colombia; find anew ant eater in Africa; be killed by a fire truck in Philly, or swim seventeen miles in New York. Put we would like to get out and call hogs, or something. would enjoy relieving some of this pent up emofion which civilization suppresses. So, that s the news of the day. There are men out in the open calling hogs. We are interested because we would like to be there. * JUSTICE TO JIM Almost in the spirit of apology, The Times feels called upon to congratulate Senator‘Watson on his latest official action. Perhaps, not exactly an apology, but say rather in gladness to find an act which is logical and true to ties and loyalties to present pleasing contrast to the others. ”*■ Very often The Times has been called upon to give to the people the real truth about the activities of the Senator, because it alone of Indianapolis newspapers is free to tell the truth about Watson. It has, in the spirit of duty to the voters, shown his long list of treacheries to his fellow partisans, how he has contributed, from time to time, to the political eclipse and defeats of Postmaster General New and Senator Beveridge through his personal machine. .' j? Now record for him an act which shows such tenderness of heart and such fine loyalty to his friends that perhaps many will overlook the past. The great heart of Watson breaks as he thinks of the two Jones brothers, bootleggers and conspirators, languishing in a Federal prison. One of these Joneses was the publicity man for V- A • ♦ <- *'

the Klan, and in three years grabbed $50,000. He was also a prohibition director for Georgia. The Judge who sentenced him said it was an outrageous case, and the Government spent many thousands of dollars pn prosecuting the gigantic conspiracy which deluged the East with alcohol. 'But Watsoh appeals for their freedom. He cannot stand the thought of these men in jail. Perhaps he compares that two years sentence with that of four months given to the Negro who admitted participating in the theft of SBO,OOO worth of whisky from the local Federal building and believes that dt is too severe. In full Justice to Jim, let it be recorded to his credit that these bootlleggers will not remain in jail if his appeal to the powers that be can turn them loose. His great heart urges him to plead for clemency. His kindliness can forgive the criminal, especially ilie criminal who was smart enough to nick the Klan for $50,000 in three years. • So if you remember Watson’s other acts, which may have seemed callous, chalk up this one to his credit. When nn influential bootlegger and crooked prohibftion agent gets Into jail, Watson does not let their records interfere with his compassion. ♦ THE PARIS REUNION This newspaper. several weeks ago suggested mildly that members of the American Legion give a certain amount of prayerful thought to that proposed pilgrimage to Paris next year. We had in mind the state of feeling in France. More recently we frankly urged that the plan ho called off for the present. Ibis was after we had received from William Phillip Sims, foreign editor ot the Scripps-Howard newspapers, a further report on the feelings) of the French. Mr. Sims lived and worked with the French people many years. He is among people he know's when he visits Paris and his report was not based on superficial observation. Now we have before us a letter written by Henry D. Lindsley, the first national commander of the American Legion. It is written from Paris. Lindsley had stopped there en route home from Warsaw, wh£re he was a delegate to the meeting of the International Society of the World War Veterans. He- says the proposed reunion in Paris contains possibilities of great or great harm. He elucidates this. If General Pershing were to head the American voyages, he thinks, the result wobld be great good. Otherwise — / Well, Pershing's name will be proposed for national commander of the legion at the coming convention in Philadelphia. If he is chosen that doubtless will result In his heading the expedition and the worry of Henry D. Lindsley will be set at rest. We, too, believe the presence of Pershing in Paris would have a good effect. „ Still, we renew our suggestion that the legion give prayerful thought to the 3ubject before it finally decides to cross the pond next summer.

UPSHAW OUT Congress has lost a picturesque figure in Representative W. D. Upshaw, defeated for renomination In Georgia, but hardly an important one, even for the prohibition cause he lias championed so inilitantly. House visitors always wanted to see Upshaw. Ams he was a picturesque figure, with his slender blue-clad frame swinging along on crutches, or sitting on the front row with his red hair waving militantly above the burning eyes and compressed lips with which he always listened to attacks on prohibition. Those eyes apd lips bespoke the fanatic which he was. His speeches were bitter, vulgar attacks on all who dared to challenge the perfection of prohibition. They made as many enemies as friends. And, it was shown by the Reed committee, he has always taken care'to extract the last cent he could for his speeches, from the Anti-Saloon League, for which he had been a paid speaker for many years and the league knew him as a persistent bargainer. NEWS -BECAUSE UNUSUAL It’s a sad commentary on American politics, this United News dispatch from Massachusetts, that Republican women of Wollaston Park have invited David I. Walsh, Democratic candidate-for Senator, tto speak'before them. Sad, that is, because in a country traditionally dedicated so free speech and fairness, willingness of a political faction to hear the other fellow’s case is that it becomes real news, big news, and is flashed all over the country. ** Repression is recognized as one of the chief causes of Insanity, crime, success and contentment --■ j > 1 WHICH IS THE VAINER SEX? By Mrs. Walter Ferguson In spite of the fact that we are forever powdering our noses in public, the .men'excel us in vanity. For a woman, when she,is of the peacock variety, always preens herself becaiise of her physical loveliness and does not believe that intrinsically ’ she is above other women. Men, the contrary, when they are puffed up with vanity are overcome not so much with their looks, but with their general excellence and superiority. That they are in reality far more vain than women is proved by the fact that scarcely one of them ever fancies that, once he has married a woman, she could ever look at any man but himself. Whereas all wives are always scared to death because of the fear that their husbands may become Enamored of other women. 1 hat fact in itself and few will dare deny it—is enough to stamp rrujji as the vainest of persons. For most of them aver jonvinced that having been born males makes them, somehow, superior crqatures 11 They are generally quite certain of their own fascinations and believe all women are dying for their attentions. And even the least conceited of the male sex is perfectly sure that he could have had any woman for the asking. Whenever the most timid and modest of them remains’ true to his wife through Hiany years—and, thank heaven, there are many who flo—he never takes this as a matter of the fulfillment of his duty, but believes that he Has accomplished the of the age. ' He takes his wife’s fidelity to him as a mere matter of course, but assures himself that he has been a remarkably fine husband because he has kept his marriage vow. • Argl you can diagram this facj for him, and yet the most brilliant masculine mind will never be able to see just how you get that idea. When it comes to real vanity, we women simply can’t hold a candle to the men. • uL *i‘i * *

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Why Are the Powerful Influences Rushing to Aid Ttie Jones Boys?

By M. B. Tracy Why should three prominent members of the Anti-Saloon League and five dry Senators be signing a petition to get the Jones brothers out of prison? Does the fact tfiat one brother acted as publicity agent for the KuKlux Klan, while both were consistent boosters for that organization have anything to do witli it? Has the K. K. K. become a political clearing house through which dry sentiment can be' enlisted for jailed bootleggers .and bootlegger votes be mobilized for dry candidates? The Jones brothers—Winfield and Neufield—were convicted of one of the most outrageous conspiracies- to violate the prohibition law yet unearthed. They diverted hundreds of barrels of alcohql to illegal use after having gotten into a drug and chemical company for that purpose, and after having learned the tricks of the trade as employes of Unple Sam. Both had been the Internal Revenue Department and one had taken a post-graduate course In the gentle art of vurn running as assistant prohibition director for the State of Georgia. They operated in Baltimore, where bootlegging Is supposed to be reasonably safe and were convicted by g, Baltimore Jury which is particularly convincing, since Baltimore Juries are known to he fair, if not liberal, toward bootleggers. •I-!- -IWhy the Volsteaders? They were given two years in the Atlanta Penitentiary and the sentence was confirmed In April. They entered the prison on the 24th day of last June and have consequently served less than three months. You might find some excuse for their business associates petitioning tho government to let them out after such a mild dose, but why the ardent prayer of the Volsteaders? -I- -I- -IYou Can't Understand

They are feeding commonplace bootleggers bread an# water in Neraska and Wayhe B.

At the same time, three dietin' guished supporters of the AntiSaloon Ld#gue, Dr. E. H. Cherrington, Bishop James F. Cannon, Jr., and Superintendent AlcDridge are asking release of tho Jones brothers —the Jones brothers who served less than three months of a two-year sentence, and who have peddled booze to pickle the State of Nebraska. You simply can’t understand It. Neither can you understand why such Clamorously dry Senators as Watson of Indiana and Willis of Ohio, not to mention Smoot. Harris and George, would lend themselves to the effort. There is certainly something rotten in places nearer home than Denmark. v •!• -I- ’ Same Old Story Vice running to prudishness and prudishness running to vice, it is the same old story in the same old way. j When you find people trying to make themselves rightedus by law you will find them making an awful mess of things.

This work w&s awarded the first prize in the international competition offered by the Schumann Club of New Y'ork.

It is a picturesque composition, typically Russia, with a prolog and epilog of folk-song themes that are heard on the Russian steppes. The opening number of the concert will he the rendition of CaesAr Frank’s 150th Psalm. A special arrangement for a second piano part is being made for this work by Samuel R. Gaines, the American composer. The concluding number will be “Ring Out Wild Bells.’ This composition is scored for mixed voices and two pianos. It was written by Percy q-Tetcher, one of England’s foremost contemporary composers. In the ten years’ history of the choir there never been a treasury deficit in the organization. The object of the Mendelssohn Choir is to promote fine choral singing and interest in choral art. Over 250 representative men and women of Indianapolis joined the choir last year as associate members. A campaign to increase the associate mem* berohip is now in progress.
