CIVIL SERVICE? Mayor Duvall announces that he favors a State law compelling civil service regulation of all police and fire departments. Coupled with the manner in which his own socalled civil service is working, the statement has all the marks of real humor. Civil service is presumed to protect the city employe in his job. It is presumed to protect the public from the inefficient men placed on the pay rolls by politicians. Just why any one in the position of Mayor Duvall needs a State law to accomplish these two things is hard to discover. If he wanted to keep the city employes out of politics, he has only to refuse to listen to the orders of one George Coffin and to announce, with emphasis, that no city employe shall be compelled to contribute to campaign funds or to work for a special ticket. If he needs a State law, it could only work to protect him from Coffin, for he has all the power he needs if he only desired to use it , The new civil service under Duvall sterns to be getting away to a bad start. The sincere gentlemen who were selected by the mayor to operate the new rules find themselves ignored in the matter of appointments. The park board hands out jobs to men who are right in politics and tells the civil service corrfmission to examine them later. Os course, the whole scheme was a hurried and desperate attempt to fool the people and especially to fool the insurance companies whose representatives demanded that the fire department be taken out of politics. I The running of that department by the politicians will shortly result 1n raising Insurance rates. Business men and property owners in the business section will pay for politics in increased rates. The best way to get efficiency is to get rid of the political machine which rules this ctty and county. The quiclcets way is not to pass a law but to elect men who are not controlled by the bosses. THE CASE OF BUTLER Massachusetts citizens are being asked to elect National Chairman William H. Butler to the United States Senate, just to show their confidence in President Coolidge. That, says Senator George H. Moses, Republican, is all wrong. The fight, he says, should be made for Chairman Butler on his own merits. He has in mind, no doubt, his own recent success in the New Hampshire primaries in the face of the fact that he has not been a consistent supporter of Coolidge. Ordinarily, one would be inclined to agree with Senator Moses, but this is not an ordinary situation. In Massachusetts politics, as well as in national politics, Coolidge and Chairman Butler come pretty close to being one and the same person. It is hard to tell where one begins and the other leaves off. Coolidge was Chairman Butler’s representative in Massachusetts affairs and Chairman Butler undertook successfully to make Coolidge his representative in national affairs. In most States, a candidate running on Coolidge’s record might be guilty of some misrepresentation. It might be that he had not always thought and behaved as Coolidge would have had him do. It might be that at some future time, if elected, he would not do so. But there can be no question in the caso of Chairman Builer. He always knows what s in the President’s mind —some say he knows it before the President does. A vote for Coolidge in 1924 was a vote for Chairman Butler. A vote for Chairman Butler in 1926 is a vote for Coolidge. So why shouldn’t Chairman Butler say so? THEY MUSTN’T WEAKEN It’s a tough life the prophet leads. Consider the seers of the Washington orop reporting board. Three months ago, in their bi-weekly cotton reports, these experts introduced an innovation probably without precedent in all the annals of prophecy. They began not only to estimate how much cotton the counfry would probably produce, but to estimate how erroneous even the best estimate might possibly be. Such candor was too much for cotton growers. Southern Congressmen deluged the board with plaints that the market was being upset. And in this week’s report the harassed prophets .were forced to abandon theijr estimates of possible maximum and minimum yields and fall back on their old estimate of probable yield. * The innovation, according to Washington dispatches, may be experimented with further in future grain reports. That is to be hoped for. Prophets willing to guess how wrong their best guesses may be deserve encouragement. WORLD COURT MUDDLE The World Court situation is a muddle. President Coolidge was unqualifiedly for American entrance into the court. His spokesmen laid the proposition before Congress on that basis. The Senate tinkered with it until it was altogether a different thing. In its new form it went to Geneva. The essential alteration made by the Senate was the much-talked-about “fifth reservation.’’ This reservation, in substance, is to the effect that the court shall have nothing to say relative to any international dispute if the United States claims to have an interest in it and objects to leaving it to the court to settle. The reservation doesn’t provide that the United States must "have an interest” in the dispute, to prevent the World Court from considering it. It is sufficient for the United States to “claim an interest” Such a qualification on America’u part, If accepted,

would give this country a strangle hold on the entire outfit. It isn’t surprising that the sub-committee of the World Court delegate conference asked for an ‘“interpretation” of the “reservation” from the State Department. The State Department, however, can’t interpret for the Senate. All it could answer was, ♦‘The reservation speaks for itself. You’ll have to accept or reject it.” So now It becomes pretty clear that the subcommittee —which desperately wants the United States in the World Court but hesitates at swallowing so vital a reservation whole—intends to furnish its own “interpretation” and send it back to the United States, with the query, “Is this what you mean? If so” —for the sub-committee's .“interjiretation” doubtless will be the sub-committee’s own idea of how much it can swallow—“we agree to it.” The Senate will talk about it at least all winter. It’s quite an evenly divided Senate. In the recent primaries it wasn’t proved very conclusively whether a pro-World Court attitui® was an asset or a liability to a candidate. Some contests indicated the affirmative; about an equal number the negative. One thing is obvious—it’s a doubtful issue. The Administration started the World Court controversy and now it can’t stop it. It would prefer a definite “Yes” or “No” from Geneva, but there’s no prospect of such an angwer. Geneva wants an “interpretation” of that “fifth reservation” and that’s what it Is going to work for. HARRY M. DAUGHERTY Whether or not former Attorney General Harry' M. Daugherty is guilty of conspiracy to defraud tlio Government, The Times does not pretend to say. It believes that Daugherty is getting a fair and impartial trial on these charges before a jury in New York City. ‘ 1 However, one incident has arisen in connection with his trial which is worthy ol’ more than passing note. This is the testimony of his own brother, Mai Daugherty, a banker of Washington Courthouse. Ohio, that the former attorney general had burned records which lie knew agents of the Government wished to examine in their study of the return of asset,’ to tie American Metals Com.iany, On the stand yesterday Mai Daugherty said the had come to New York in 1925, having with himdaccounts which he knew the grand jury wished to examine. He was not called. Then, according to the United Press, he testified, “Harry took the records back to Ohio.” "Did you confer with your brother?’’ thej Government’s attorney asked. “Yes, in Mai Daugherty replifed. “I told him the grand jury in New York wanted,his accounts. He said he had burned them.” Here we have the spectacle of a man, who a short time before was a trusted public officer and in whom the President of the United States reposed faith, destroying information he knew the Government wanted. The jury will decide whether Daugherty is guilty or not guilty of the crime charged against him, and The Times has no wish to prejudice his case. But, quite apart from the present trial, Daugherty’s action in burning those records condemns him forever in the eyes of the public. And lit may be well to remember the Indiana gentleman who played politics with Daugherty. Chicago is planning a three-level street. Perhaps the two upper levels will be for the crooks. There are several American girls abroad who have not tried to swim the English Channel. Perhaps because they can’t swim. Perhaps a man’s wife is his better half because she always says “Better not do this. Better do that.” Civilization advances. Now and then someone finds a less painless method of killing murderers. While the dog is called man’s best friend, any furcoat bearing animal is favored by women. The young fellow who studies aviation is the one ■who is bound to rise to the occasion. College has started and many are taking steps toward learning the new fall dances. The fellow who is content with little usually gets less. Bragging about what you are doing leaves very little time for accomplishment. Contentment is .merely the victory of mind over , what’s the matter. Most of us think we could do much better if we only had the opportunities which w r e don’t realize we , have.

lIIRAM’S IMPERIAL YACHT ”'r 1 By Mrs. Walter Ferguson 1

• What strange, sheep like creatures we are. With Imperial Wizard Evans of tho Ku-lClux Klan announcV ing that he would continue to occupy presidential suites and had accepted from the Klan tho magnificent gift of a yacht, tt looks like it might be a hard year foisthe hill billies. If you have ever seen, as I have, farmers with mortgaged homes, their children barefoot, their wives sickly and overworked^ scraping together their quota of cash so that Hiram and his like might live in luxury, you too would say that the thing is pathetic enpugh for tears. To these poor men who live from hand to mouth for years go pussyfooting Hiram’s minions with tales of 100 per cent Americanism, and the Pope's big toe. And flocks of men and women, unread, unthinking, run to them trustingly with their poor little bits of money, believing they are helping save the nation. If the country must be saved and only the Klan can save it, why not allow the. rich and influential to contribute their dollars to the noble cause? Why take money from those who need it so much more than Hiram does? He. of course, lives not only at ease, but in elegance, the while many a poor woman on a run-down farm goes without anew hat so that her husbahd can contribute his money to help pay for these presidential suites. Poor little children who will never see a yacht, arc depAKed of some bit of fun or comfort so that Imperial Hiram may piingle with potentates. The Ku-Klux and its wizards wha scrape the farming districts for more money and ever more money, what has it done so far save take from those who could not afford it and install its imperial wizard in a yacht? It Is enough to make angels weep.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday Schools to Review Lessons of the Quarter

The International Uunlform Sunday School I.esson for Sept. 26.—Early Leaders of Israel. By Will. E. Gilroy, I>. I>. Editor of The Congregationalist , “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” gives the proper setting for the review of the Quarter’s Lessons. These lessons have covered the period from Israel’s life in Egypt, the descent into bondage, and the c-tildhood of Moses to the leadership Ci” the people out of Egypt and the religious (organization of the nation in Its march to Canaan. The Quarter’s Lesson deal chiefly with Moses, but it would be a mistake to regard Moses as the only leader of Israel. Moses did not so of himself. He accepted leadership not as a lone figure hut with the yearning for help and with a deeper sense of responsibility than of power and privilege. It may remembered also that at a very crucial point Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, gave him very good advice, which Moses showed good sense in following. Aaron also appears as a good right-hand man. Where is the leader wh<f stands alone? Is it not true that the more he feels his own self-sufficiency the less he is a leader? It is a quality of the leader that he recruits others In the great task that he has in hand.

When tty question of engaging orchestras for this season was raised tho guarantors were approached on the mai’.er of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and greater soloists with the Cincinnati Orchestra. To do this a relatfvely small advance was necessary to meet the contracts, which they were willing to do, and which the public has met uncomplainingly in order that the fifth season of orchestra concerts should be greatest in the history i of this community.. j Orchestra music is a civic necessity ! and Indianapolis should tako its | place with other cities where the | orchestra concerts have become edui cational institutions.

The pictures that our lessons have given of the establishing of a re-, liglous and social ui££Ututlon iu r Israel in th# DMT Itfh 1%: pi .vyA# Is very striking. Two of our lesSons have dealth with the Ten Commandments, and following! these we have had a description or the institution of tho Tabernacle —a symbol of the unified life of the people and of the place of worship and in that life. The picture of the bringing of gifts for the Tabernacle, the devotion of the people, has been Inspiring. And yet these great Inspirations have their warning also, for we pass from these experiences of leadership gnd triumph to less worthy episodes in the life of Israel. The place of clear vision was not maintained. ■she united consecration of the people to ways of faith and righteousness was lost, and we pass from these hjgh scenes to the picture of Israel wandering In the wilderness, journeying, it is true, toward Canaan but through a way beset with difficulties and full of lapses and sufferings, because of their departure from these high and inspiring experience* in the first era of their march from Egypt. . ‘ Would that every people could learn the lesson of these things and that even in modern America we might inore truly appreciate the sa-

Times Readers Voice Views

Editor Times: Some days since I saw an editorial in your paper advocating the voting ‘for the Constitutional Amendment on elections and registration. This editorial was on erroneous basis, advocating the amendment by virtue of its present provisions. I am very busy and thought that someone else would call your attention to the mistake, sb did not take the trouble to do so myself. Below the amendment is typed, ordinary type for present, new words CAPITALS, eliminated (parenthesis). “Sect. 14. All general elections shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November; but township elections may be held at such time as may be provided by law: Provided, That the general assembly may provide by law for the eketion of all judges of courts of general or appellate Jurisdiction, by t.n election to be held for such officers only, at which time no other officer shall be voted for; and (shall) MAY also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote. IN PROVIDING FOR THE REGISTRATION OF PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SHALL HAVE POWER TO CLASSIFY THE SEVERAL COUNTIES, TOWNSHIPS, CITIES AND TOWNS OF* THE STATE INTO CLASSES, AND TO ENACT LAWS PRESCRIBING A UNIFORM METHOD OF REGISTRA- ! TION IN ANY OR ALL OF SUCH | CLASSES." The above provisions typed in I ordinary type, were adopted by amendment in 1881, and the provision ns to election of Judges has Jain dormant since, but with the full latent power to he exercised when the Legislature should have the inclination to act. The 1881 amendment commanded the Legislature to provide for the registration of all the voters of the State, the amendment changes the mandatory "shall’’ to the optional “MAY,” and to "ANY OR ALL SUCH CLASSES” giving the Legislature full power to Gerrymander the State, if legislators should ever be moved by any such degrading motive.

Tracj^i - I Why Not Leave Prize- j fighting a He-Man’s Pastime?

■ By M. E. Tracy It’s “Gentleman Gene” now, JusO as it was "Gentleman Jim” thirty* eight years ago. With tho exception of Jack Johnson, we have been pleased to see each new champion elevating the ring, not because oj his superior fighting ability, but be* cause of what he did, or was on the side. Why not leave it a he-man's game? Why strain to give .it a lady-like aspect by rin'-'Tig in all the bank clerk, minister's son and bookworm stuff? * * * The New Fighter No doubt, a different class of men are going in for pugilism, which is explained by the bigger purses and gate receipts, but they have to box to win, as always. We are making a hash of life, getting culture and fisticuffs, vaude* ville and church services, all mixed up. Meanwhile, the age has been made great by specialized training and expertness, and we can’t keep it great any other way. Gene Tunney is champion not because of the books he likes, but cause of the hours he has spent the gloves. Jack Dempsey is because he neglected his choseiß career for other things. •I’ -I- -IHew to the Line It is all right to be interested in things outside your chosen career, hut you must keep them subordinate to its demands if you would reachi the top. The idea that men make good ini business through social acquaint-' ance, that they become great doctors by talking politics, that they inspire true religion with stunts in the 1 pulpit, is bunk. If you can deliver the goods, you're l safe. If you can’t, don’t imagine you will get by on sideshows. -I- I- -ISide Show Ideas The sideshow idea has raised havoc with nothing else like politics. 1 In every other phase of life, we place a premium on training, experience and proven ability. In politics, it s the ballyhoo, the slick tongue, the smoke screen of gab, that counts. That is why the congressional and legislative records are filled with wind, while the public business goes unattended That is why wo hear most everything discussed by politicians, except real issues. -I- -I- -IKnowing History Here is the Republican ‘ congressional campaign committee out with a great statement telling what tho Democrats did nine years ago, much money was spent for nltfH plants, shells, wooden ships and encampments, and how little there is to show for it. There were Republicans in the war congress and you didnJt hear them ! opposing many of the appropriations. Besides war is a waste anyway, an orgy of powder and smoke with nothing at the end, but victory to show for the cgsh, and sometimes not even that. •!• -I- -IEcho of Another Day The same committee is out with another statement extolling prosperity, as though a full belly were enough to explain and excuse all the rottenness.
