KNOW YOUR STATE INDIANA, first in onion production, will produce one-half million bushels more onions this year than any other State In the Union.

THE BIG ISSUE , Political organizations write platforms, but the voters make the issues In political campaigns. Candidates for office may talk about the tariff, farm relief, world politics, enforcement of law or any other interesting topic, but they will probably discover that when the people of Indiana go to the polls in November they will cast their ballots largely on the one question of honesty, sincerity and decency in government. The big issue is James Eli Watson. ' His record as an official, his alliances, his actions in the politics of his own party, his methods of maintaining himself in office are more important than his words. ' The Voters are looking for the answer to his own arrogant and rather egotistic challenge of Why Change?” and many of them are finding ample reason. . Watson, for the first time in thirty years, is unable to hide behind a President. He is unable to hide behind Coolidge because he has walked out on the Coolidge policies and and is depending on his defiance of Coolidge to wifi” votes. Not even Watson has the audacity to ask thq people to vote for him in order to "uphold the hands of Coolidge” after he has fought the Coolidge farm relief policies and voted under eleventh-hour pressure from his political pals, against the Wprld Court. So the people, for the first time In his career, are looking at Watson himself and at his record. They have the evidence of what he did in the two years he failed to hold office. They discover him in those two years acting as a lobbyist for some very selfish interests in such a manner that his own congressional associates, after an inquiry into an iniquitous lobby, branded his actions as iinpropor. In the other years they look i.i vain for any law that bears his name, any great cause he championed, any crusade he waged in behalf of the com- . mon good. They do find him voting for Newberry and declaring, even yet that he was proud to vote for what the Senate said was an improper use of money in elections. They find him today making no protest against the use of Insull money in Illinois and the expenditure of millions in Pennsylvania. They have no doubt as to where he stands in an hour when a challenge has been given to honesty in politics by privilege seekers and those who would control government in their own behalf. They discover that, by his own admissions, his report under the corrupt practices act of the State does not cover the money spent in his behalf. They find him depending on "poison squads” to sway the women voters of the State, driven to the necessity of organizing a year in advance and creating a machine said to have 100,000 workers to obtain less than three times that many votes in the primaries. They discover him boasting that he is the friend of prohibition enforcement and then denying to the head of the dry forces that he appealed for mercy for a most noted violator of the laws. They look at the men whom he put into office and discover that in this State they were unable to guard liquor seized by the Government under circumstances which led hisuchlef sponsor, the Indianapolis News, to declare that three Negroes, given a few months in jail for stealing SBO,OOO wojth, were not alone guilty, but that there are “higher ups.” If there be “higher ups” in the Squibbs whisky case, as charged by Watson's defender, they belong to Watson. He named every Federal official in the State. • They remember that in the primary election 130,000 Republicans voted in protest against Watson and Watsonism. They remember, or many of them do, what Watson did when New and Beveridge and others were his party candidates, and how little claim he can put to loyalty to party when his own selfish interests were at stake. , They are looking at the alliances he made in ■this election, the secret meetings with heads of secret organizations, his bargains with bosses, his dependence upon the worst, not the best, in government. This is the big issue. The great national problem of honest politics is localized and personified. Will Watsonism and all that it implies, be indorsed by the voters of Indiana?

WHO PAID THE DEBT? No one, apparently, was fooled into cheers by . the claim of the administration that because it had “paid” the State debts, the voters should send Watson and Robinson to the Senate. The Times has frequently pointed out the fact that the debts were paid by taking more money from the taxpayers and automobile owners and not through any economies. Yesterday the head of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, speaking from the same platform with Governor Jackson, said the farmer and not the State administration had paid the debts. That must have been a pleasant moment for the Governor, who has been given the hard job of trying to distract attention from Watson and Robinson. “They have merely transferred the State debt from a State obligation and you farmers are the ones who are paying the debt by mortgages on your farms,” said the head of the farm organization. Some of the bunk is disappearing from the present campaign. Perhaps the time has come for another bonfire and more moving pictures. GOOD ADVICE Many years ago a young ipan named William £|len White gained fame by his insistence that Kanllfts, his home State, should raise more corn and less or words to that effect. How c. W. Barron, native New Englander who

heads the company publishing the Wall Street Journal, is stealing White’se thunder by remarking that what the New England textile industry needs is more old-time brains and push, and no remedial legislation. Senator Butler of Massachusetts recently said the industry needs more tariff protection. "I do not believe in your remedy—contraction, lower wages and poverty,” wrote Barron to the president of a textile company. That there is considerable point to his belief that “contraction and lower wages” is a “remedy” New England manufacturers have been resorting to, is shown in the 1923 census of manufacturers, pub-, lished by the Commerce Department. This census shows that, in no section of the country, except the extreme southeastern part, have wages advanced so little since 1914 as they hs.\*£fin New England. In factories of the whole United States about eleven billion dollars was paid in wages in 1924, against {our billion in 1914, a gain of about 180 per cent. In New England factories the bulk wages totaled $1,472,000,000, against $628,000,000 in 1914, or a gain of about 118 per cent. Middle Atlantic workers gained 160 per cent, those of the east north central section, 219 per cent; those of the Middle West, 140> per cent—and so It went, all ahead of Ne r England. JUST KIDS The Americans are just a nation of kids, according to Dr. A. R. Gilliland, mob psychologist of North--western University. He says this was proved recently when we went into hysterics over Rudolph Valentino, the return of Gertrude Ederle and the visit of Jiddu Krishnamurti. We hope Dr. Gilliland is a good mob psychologist. If he is, then the chances of his being correct are better. A nation of grown-ups would be a terrible place. There would be too much worrying about the improbable and the inevitable. SOLUTIONS The chemists of the Department of Agriculture are making some interesting tests. They took some dust from a grain elevator and used It for running an engine. There was no prolonged, continuous run, but enough power, was developed to turn the engine over many times. The experimenters said the test was encouraging. They even have hopes of perfecting the process to the extent where automobiles may be run by grain dust. / Os course this is a wild dream at the present time. But all the marvels of this great civilization were wild dreams once. If it does become possible to run an auto on corn, imagine the result. Won’t the farmers be tickled? When they start for town aU they’ll tyave to do is go out to the old corn crib and load up the flivver—much the same as they did when Dobbin was ruler of the road. Take care of your health so you will live long. The future is going to be truly interestlng and startling. REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES Played with yesterday by stage villains, the real estate mortgage is purveyed today by super-salesmen. Wise hero and heroine will still take care. Receivership of G. L. Miller & Cos., in New York indicates some of the new dangers. It remains to be seen whether this company was a victim of circumstances or whether it played yio swiftly with the millions entrusted to its hands. This much is evident, however: When scattered interests buy 6t4 to 8 per cent real estate bonds on the word of some distant and unknown company a certain amount of risk is almost inevitable. The real estate mortgage has changed vastly these recent years. From an instrument of poverty it has developed into an industry. In the old days a mortgage was placed usually on property considered non-speculative. The lender was secured; the borrower took the risk. Today mortgages are being placed more and more on speculative property. The small investor has made this possible. Buying real estate bonds from a thousand and one modern mortgage houses, often on time, sometimes under the most efficient sales pressure, the small investor Jumps injjwhere his banker Jumps out. For the banker is still doing business at his old stand, offering mpney for flm mortgage loans on nonspeculative property at 5 to 6% per cent.

WHAT EVERY WOMAN WISHES t By Mr*. Walter Ferguson Sometimes when you get a glimpse of the human heart, you are taken aback with what you see. A brilliant, busy woman, her life filled with interesting happenings, the mother of two half-grown children and much-sought after by her friends, said not long since, with a sigh: “Oh, I wish I had a little, little baby.” This is the longing that never grows old or dies. It lives in the soul of every #iman, and no matter how she may play, how intensely she may work, or how otherwise colorful her life may be, there will come still moments when this maternal longing will surge through her heart like a flood. Men may have adventures. They may procure power and riches and fame, They may go from one end of the earth to ‘the other, over the mountains and down to the sea, but never do they touch those great heights of ecstacy that the humblest woman reaches when she cuddles into her arms her tiny helpless baby. After the pain and the terror, to emerge from the great shadow to beautiful rest —this is Indeed the "peace that passeth understanding.” We need not fear, as some profess to do, the day when women shall have babies no more. For that day will never dawn. Always, no matter how far from the old domesticated routine they may go, there will still survive in the feminine heart this poignant ache for children. Civilizations, cultures, inventions, progress, can never change this ancient law of wise old Mother Nature. Riches, honors, careers, cannot ever take the place of motherhood. There is only one thing that can ease the pain of life for a woman, only one antidote for woman’s restlessness, and that is—a baby. The richest and the poorest of us share the same physical bitterness and the same spiritual joy. A baby makes the whole world akin. And how quickly we forget the pain and the fear, the work and the worry. It is all submerged in the memory of those sweet moist kisses and the recollection of that soft body in our arms. Fortunate beings, we women. No man can ever feel the blessed peace that enfolds us wjien the twilight comes creeping softly over the hills ind we sit, suspended as it were, between earth and Iheaven, rocking our wee one to sleep.

Tracy Our Fossil Laws. Have Company Just Across the Border, ■ u

By M. E. Tracy A Montreal man seeks divorce from his wife because she has false teeth. An old French law gives liim the right to do so. It was adopted in the time of Louis XIII, nearly 300 years agd, and remains operative because, when England took possession of Canada it was agreed that the civil laws of France should? continue to prevail In Quebec until repealed, by local statute. This provides that whosoever attracts in the bonds of matrimony any male subject of His Majesty by means of rouge or powder, perfume, false teeth, false hair, steel corsets, hooped petticoats, high heels, or false hips, will be prosecuted for sorcery, and the marriage will be declared null and void If the accused Is convicted. The lady could be tried hs a witch for having a dentist refit her mouth and then forgetting to tell her prospective husbands about it, but he is considerate enough to ask for no more than a legal separation. Ours is not the only age that has gotten so excited over absurd fashions as to pass absurd laws, and ours is not the only country that forgets, to repeal them. . , V Courageous Ibanez Blasco Ibanez, the novelist and leader of the opposition, says that Spain will re-enter the League of Nations as soon as the Rivera dictatorship is overthrown. He says that at present public opinion Is hopelessly muzzled but that once it finds room to express itself, "The first concern of the neKv Spain will be to resume its league seat and collaborate in the work for International peace.” Whether you agree with him. you can’t help admiring Ibanez for making such a statement at such a time. It takes courage, even for a man in his position, to bo defy ruthless tyranny that now rules Spain* Not only does it mean continued ile, but worse. If he were to fall into the enemy’s hands. There Is one consoling side to political corruption. It invariably breeds men of courage and Independence. If Ibanez deserves praise tor denouncing despotism in Spain, George W. Norris, Republican Senator from Nebraska deserves no less for throwing off the brass collar of partisanship and going to Pennsylvania to help William B. Wilson, the Democratic candidate. It take my hat off to Senator Norris. Party loyalty should Dot be permitted to serve as a shield for rottenness, but it does all the while. Nine out of every ten leaders are content to stand pat no matter what happens. Though constantly preaching independence to common folks they hesitate to practice it themselves. Senator Norris Is the splendid exception. If a dozen prominent publicans would follow his example the slush funds that have scandalized the country would be the last of their kind for a long while. -I- -I- -IPublicity for Jack *' Jack Dempsey must feel like a lion In a den of Daniels. The ministers are calling him a brute, though admitting that "more people than George Washington ever commanded” will pay to see him fight, while lawyers are beselging him with suit and injunction. It is the best publicity Tex Rickard could ask for. Every time a sermon Is preached against the Dempsey-Tunney bout, every time a court Is asked to do something, every time the papers are forced to publish an item outside routine sport news, It means a few rftore patrons.

f Confession seems to be the. order of the day. Madieros, a condemned murderer, says that he was implicated in the crime for which Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted and that they had nothing to do with it. Ruby Ray, flapper bandit of Georgia, says she killed the man for whose murder Mell Gore has been sentenced to death. Baker, who was mixed up in their big bootlegging conspiracy, says that the Jones brothers were wrongly convicted. Henry Nelson, a convict in the Illinois State Prison, says that he helped commit tne Hall-Mills murder. Shall we say that old conscience is functioning healthily, that the law has made a lot of ghastly mistakes, or refuse to draw too definite conclusions until each separate confession can be tested. It is on record, you know, that two brothers confessed to murder in Vermont wljgn no murder had been committed. •I* •!• •!• Something to Reform Champion hog caller of the world —what a title, and what a sport, yet Fred Patzel Is satisfied with the honor, especially since it brought, him a S7OO prize.

Letting Your PKonograph Give You the t Inside Dope on Grand Opera at Hone

By Observer Grand opera is no longer the “disease tonic” for the alleged highbrow. Grand opera often Is great music. Depends when and where it was writtemand then depends when and where you hear It. The phonograph today makes it possible to have the greatest possible casts in ycur home. Just for fun let us either refresh our memories or even get acquainted with “Pagllacci,” known as “The Players,” dramatic opera In two acts by Ruggiero Leoncavallo.

HUGE GAIN IS MADE B Y MANUFACTURER Workers Turn Out Much More Goods in 1923 Than in 1914—Production in State Valued at $2,031,674,000.

By Roscoe 11. Fleming Timm Staff CorrrtDoruicnt WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Factory workers of the United States turned out goods worth more than $60,000,000.000 in 1923, against a production of about $24,000,000,000 in 1914. Each worker produced about $6,900 worth of goods on the average in 1923, or approximately twice VINCENNES MAY GET NEWBRIDGE Two States May Build It as Clark Memorial. Hopes for anew Wabash R‘ver bridge at Vincennes, Ind., were received today. Dr. Christopher B. Coleman, director of the State historical bureau, has invited Illinois officials to join in constructing the bridge as a memorial to George Rogers Clark, whose capture of Ft. Sackvlllo will be celebrated In 1929. Coleman’s suggestion calls for completion of the bridge by 1929, when the Clark sesquicentennial celebration will be in progress at Vincennes. Coleman returned Tuesday from a trip to Springfield, 111., where he discussed the proposal with Illinois highway officials and the historical society there. Under his plan the bridge would be both utilitarian and commemorative. Since condemnation of the old bridge at Vincennes, highway officials of Indiana and Illinois h-ve experienced trouble over sharing the expense of anew bridge. Coleman's proposal is said to have met with the satisfaction of Illinois officials. TO GET MANUSCRIPTS State to Receive Early History Documents. Two valuable douements. dealing with early history of Indiana, are to come into custody of the State within a short time, it was announced today by State Historical Director C. B. Coleman. One of the manuscripts, entitled “Garrison Life in Old Foit Wayne," has been donated by Bert J. Griswold, Ft. Wayne. The other is an English translation of the travels of Ludwig David von Schweinitz. a .Moravian minister who preached in County in the early thirties.

More Concentrated They were concentrated in 106,000 factories in 1923 against 275,000 in 1914, the factories averaging much larger and turning out much more goods. There were about 8,778,000 workers in 1923 against 7,036,000 in 1914. These facts are shown In the 1923 census of manufacturers, Just released by the census bureau. Even taking into account the inflation of the dollar between the two years, the figures show much greater productivity and higher wages for each worker in 1923 than in 1914. New York Leads New York remains the workshop of the nation, with 1,150,000 workers turning out goods worth nearly $9,000,000,000.
