THE LION’S SKIN Lot's go back to the days of Aesop. You all remember tlie story of the ass who dressed himself in a lion’s skin. Read tha? story again today. It is really a remarkable story. And then look at the demands of Senator James Eli Watson and Senator Arthur Robinson for a real probe of graft, corruption and bribery in Indiana. Six days ago wholesale charges of corruption and bribery and graft were made by the chairman of the executive committee Republican Editorial Association. He said, and as a matter of news It was printed because he is a responsible publisher In a trusted position, that the former dragon of the Klan in Indiana Is now ready to confess and name his accomplices and his subordinates. Those charges said that there would be furnished documentary evidence of these great and grave public wrongs. This paper then addressed to the two senators from Indiana and to the chairman of the Republican party in Indiana an open letter asking them to use their influence with the Governor of this State to provide an investigation of these charges, to make every inquiry in order to free this State, which has suffered too much from indefinite charges of corruption, from the Ignominy which rests upon it. We are tired of magazine writers who dared* without rebuke or answer calling us the Empire of Ukant. We were tired and restless under such bits of clever writing as came from former sons of this State and printed in the most conservative magazines asking “have faith in Indiana.’’ All that The Times asked was that these two Senators and the chairman of the Republican party ask the Governor of this State to permit an open and free investigation by six State Senators. Not much to ask, was it? What happened? The rest is history. These Senators were silent. Not one made a public statement even suggesting that charges of graft and corruption be investigated. Watson was silent. Robinson talked about the tariff. Walb hid. And then there were issued two photographs. One of them was admitted by the mayor of this city to he genuine. It showed a desire to placate and fawn upon the convict who then ruled this State and city. The other was pronounced a forgery. The Times gave that interpretation. Nothing had happened. No responsible party had made a stand for a free and impartial investigation. Then a miracle happened. The son of a man who hated fraud and corruption and betrayal came to this State. Theodore Roosevelt, who bears an illustrious name, had been advertised as a speaker at a political meeting. The Governor of this State was to introduce him. Chairman Walb was to be upon the platform. As the price of his appearance before the multitudes who reverence his father, he demanded that there be a denunciation of corruption and a pledge to investigate. , Until that hour Watson had been impervious and Robinson adamant. The Governor made a half hearted appeal for an inquiry. It was so half hearted that the carbuncle upon the meek of Roosevelt swelled so rapidly that in the evening lie could not again appear in the company of Jackson and Robinson. Bui t once Watson from liis distant city and To ii -on 'resh from his tarewell greetings to Rooset last r r '-ponded to the open letter printed in he ... , ,-.nd go> into tue record as against graft and corruption. This much is gained. There is still this to be accomplished. The people must have from these Senators and from Walb some reason for the five days of silence when the people were shocked and ashamed and dismayed by the fact that no one dared to challenge the voice of Stephenson who promised to confess his own political sins and implicate others. There is still this to be answered. Why were five days allowed to elapse before some former intimate and friend and associate and political ind social friend of Stephenson dared to ask for an inquiry. Thorp is still more to be had. For the people now will iKot be content with an inquiry in the hands of iornmr friends of this conVicted murderer. Every one knows the power which once was his. Every one knows that he uttered no idle boast when ho said in the words of a French King that he was ‘the law’’’ in Indiana. He was. The people want to know from the Governor of this state just How he proposes to have this investigation carried out. Courage is admirable. At last we that there will be an inquiry. We have a belated promise from the attorney general who is so admirable in his slowness to anger that he is beyond suspicion that he will act when some One brings him evidence. We have the same pledge from the prosecutor of this county. What we yet have to hear is that there will be an effort to discover and find this evidence. We have yet to hear that any one proposes to permit the evidence which Stephenson says he has to be presented to a jury which is not controlled by those Stephenson placed in office. Is it all to end in an offer to let those he accuses try themselves? Well, old Aesop was a wise guy. He knew something when he put a lion’s skin upon an ass. CONCERNING OUR POCKETBOOKS Three Htems, normally dry as doodle-dust, have lust appeared separately and independently in this paper. These items, however, given prevailing condi. tions, are of utmost importance to every man, woman ind child in the United States. Item No. 1 originated in Secretary Hoover’s department of commerce. It deals with our foreign trade. It shows that Europe is our best customer, buying as much from us as the rest of the world combined. Item 2 tells of the formation of a gigantic

European steel trust with the official backing of some of the mightiest old world powers. Item No. 3 was a United Press dispatch from New Haven, Conn. Professor Fairchild of the Yale department of economics, the message says, vinced this European steel trust is just the beginning; that other huge world trade trusts are to follow. Take these three items and add a fourth element; Europe’s unreasoning and increasing bitterness against the United States. Do this and you’ll glimpse a situation chock-full of menace to every wage earner, every industrialist, every farmer, every merchant and every other citizen of this country. Having it in for us, as Europe has, the natural thing for these great trusts to do will be to take from us all the trade they can. And If this Europeun steel combine is followed by others, European business will ultimately fall into the hands of one gigantic trade, cartel or interlocking trading system, to which we will lose our before mentioned best customer. Nor will it stop there. It will go out after our Canadian and Latin-American trade and our business in the Orient. But, someone suggests, if Europe is our best customer she is so because we have raw materials which she must have and because we manufacture things quantitatively and more cheaply than she can. This is quite true —for the time being. Europe, however, already is planning to reorganize her industry along American lines and once this is done she can play havoc with our foreign trade, thanks to her plentiful and cheap labor. While as for raw materials, Europe right nc*w is planning to develop other sources in Russia, China, India, Egypt, North and youth Africa, Australia and South America. % Individually the United States can hold its own in a trade war with any other nation on earth. But it might be an entirely different story if and when we have to buck wholesale international combines against us. Since the end of the World War our diplomacy has fallen down. We have allowed ourselves to be isolated, hated, conspired against. We say the war debts are responsible—which they are, partly. But not entirely. Europe owes Britain almost as much as Europe owes us yet; thanks to Britain’s clever diplomacy, she is actually coming to be looked upon almost as a benefactor, while we get the razz. If ever there was a time when a real foreign policy, combined with real diplomacy, counted In our State Department at Washington and abroad, now is that time. Its value to us, during the next few years, may conservatively be estimated in billions if not in terms of peace itself. ♦ THE WET-DRY BATTLE Wets and drys will go to the mat this fall in five States, as the Anti-Saloon League sees It —Oregon, Missouri, Montana, Colorado and California. The wets in this quintet are trying to repeal State prohibition amendments and enforcement acts. The drys don’t want them repealed and will fight “Referenda elections without any legal effect,” as the Anti-Saloon League expresses it, also will be held in New York, Nevada, Wisconsin and Illinois. That is to say, the New York, Nevada, Wisconsin and Illinois elections are not on the proposition to repeal State prohibition laws (New York has none.) The wets in this quartet of States wish simply to secure State-wide expressions of opinions in opposition to national prohibition. / In these elections," the Anti-Saloon League announces, “the drys will not participate.” In other words, in States where an attempt is made to weaken prohibition enforcement machinery, by depriving the Federal Government of the States’ cooperation, the drys will vote —adversely. In States where a mere expression of opinion is sought, they will regard the issue as closed and refrain from costing their ballots, so that there will be no expression—unless the wet vot eis so enormous as to be In an obvious majority. This enumeration doesn't take into account the States and congressional districts in which congressional candidacies are so sharply aligned, as wets or drys, as to amount to a test, though the wet and dry issue fails to figure in platforms. The result will be seen In the candidates who are elected. Lots of people swam the English Channel, but you still can drown in a bucket of water. A New York bishop calls this age the best of human history. Here, here, this won’t do!

COTTON PICKING By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Sometimes it seems too bad that a lot of this energy it takes to swim the English Channel and box in the ring, might not be utilized in the cotton field. The cotton industry 4s one of the most important in the United States, and every year it becomes Increasingly difficult to get pickers. And no wonder. Os all work, cotton picking is the hardest, and they pay by the pound and not by the hour. The plant itself is so low that only by continually stooping can the bolls be cleaned. It ripens when the sun is still tlaming in a coppery sky, and the mercury stays up near the top of the thermometer. The smallness of each handful makes it necessary that a large sack be strapped over the shoulder of each worker. i ( The cotton must be gathered before the boll weevils or the rains or the cold get it. It has to be garnered, like any other crop, at the propitious moment. This is the reason why wives and children must often shoulder their Hacks in the early morning and drag the heavy /weight through the hot fields all the long day through. Tou would never complain about the price of cotton goods if you had to spend one week in the green and snotty fields, picking, just as thousands of women do in the Southern States. They may be seen staggering out with terrible bleedings at the nose, brought on by heat, with their clothes sticking to them, soaked with perspiration, their bodies bowed and fagged, their feet torn and scratched, looking more dead than alive. And for the cotton picker to get better pay for this arduous toil, the cotton raiser must get a higher price for his staple. This should be considered one of the real problems before the country—how to harvest this enormous crop without almost killing women and retarding the growth and education of many children, and at the same time giving everybody concerned a fair share of the money from it. The cotton farmer, on the whole, is the poorest of our agriculturists. His crop is the hardest to raise, must be worked oftenest, and is the most difficult to gather. If anybody in the country needs help he is the man.

Schumann-Heink Allows Her Public to Know the Song She Likes to Sing Best

.. nj- very great singer has one < I pi song which is loved the best I ■on the part of the artist. And this is true with Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink. probably the best liked singer before the public today. “This season,” Mme. SchumannHeink says. “I am celebrating my fiftieth year before the public, and In that long time I/have sung all the well-known operas and songs suited to my voice, so it is hard to choose a favorite. But a song I always love to sing, because it gives pleasure to so mahy people , Is Schubert’s •Erlkonig’. I cannot imagine, much less count the number of times I have sung it in public, and it is always greeted with enthusiastic applause. “The poem itself is so beautiful, and so full of real drama that it would serve as an inspiration even to a lesser song composer than FYanz Schubert, and the combination of the Goethe text with the Schubert music has given the world one of its ; greatest songs. “I have aUvays tried to put the feelings of the different characters i into my voice when singing their | words, and sometimes little children j are so frightened that they cry when I sing the threat of the Erlkonig. I can never sing this song without j feeling personally all the emotions it portrays. I feel cruel when I am the Erlkonig, and I am always moved to pity for the poor, poor father. "The accompaniment of this song is one of the finest I know. It has the sound of the wind and the trampling of the horse's feet in it, the sad wailing of the child, and the sweet enticements of the Erlkonlg s daughters. The song rises to a tremendous climax in the end, and the sudden drop on the word 'tod' em bodies all the sadness of the poem In that one note. “Very few' songs can tell a story without being the old ballad type with verse upon verse of narrative, any less gifted musician than Schu bert might have been tempted to set all the verses of the ‘Erlkonig’ to the same music in what Is called ‘through-composed’ style, but Schubert recognized the great advantage of different music for each verse, and he has made the music of this song a continuous narrative, telling the story as well as the words. I have often sung the ‘Erlkonig’ to myself without the text, and It is re markable how much of tho story can be surmised from the music alone. “It Is this gift of suiting each line of the music to the words that has made the German lieder composers so important in the history of music. When the text, the melody, and the accompaniment are a harmonious whole, then the song becomes a great work of art, and I have always considered the ‘Erlkonig’ one of the best examples of this mode of waiting, as well as one of thp loveliest songs we have today.” Mme. Schumann-Heink will appear here at the Murat on Fridaynight Oct. 22, under the direction of Ona B. Talbot. S II- -I HE first department recital, of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts, will be held tomorrow evnelng In the College Auditorium.

Willard MacGregor, artist pianist of the Metropolitan School of Music, will go to Kokomo Monday- to play the opening artist recital for the Kokomo Matinee Musicale. This will be Mr. MacGregor's first program in the State. He will give the opening recital for the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale next Friday at the John Herron Art Institute, and will give a program for the Bloomington Friday Musical* later In the month. -I- -I- IHarry Calland, chairman of the committee on associate members for the Mendelsohn choir, announces that nearly one hundred new associates had been added in the past three weeks. The choir is holding weekly rehearsals every Tuesday evening at Hollenbeck Hall In preparation for the coming concert, which will be directed by Elmer Andrew Steffen, the choir’s conductor. A full complement of 125 singers will participate In the concert on Nov. 22, In addition to two pianists and two violinists. Several new and unique choral compositions will be Included In the choir’s program. One of these will be a fantasy on a Russian folk song by Samuel R. Gaines. This beautiful number. In which many themes of the Russian folk songs will be heard, will be sung by the entire choir, with two solo violinists and piano acompanlment. Another beautiful number, with solo for baritones, will be the "Invocation to the Great Spirit,” by Charles Wakefield Cadman. The opening number of the program w-ill be Cesar Franck’s 160th Psalm, with anew arrangement for two pianos, especially written for this concert by Samuel R. Gaines. A group of Latin motets and a group of Indiana songs will be Included in the program. The career of Rosa Raisa, the soloist of this concert, is typical of the great artists who have risen from comparative obscurity. Rosa Raisa, a native of Byalestock, Russia, made her debut in opera at Parma under tho baton of Cleofonte Catnpanini on Dec. 6. 1913, in Verdi's "Oberto.” Almost Immediately she took her place in the front rank of Italy's dramatic sopranos. Fl-om there her fame spread to the other European countries and to South America, and in all of these places she sang with enormous success Her American triumphs with the I Chicago Opera Company then followed. The arrival of a singer of the type of Mme. Rosa Raisa is in these days an event of peculiar significance. In opera no Ipss than in the theater* the ingenue seems supreme, and more than one New York critic has followed the lead of W. J. Henderson of the New York Evening Sun in lamenting the passing of the "grand style” from the lyric stage. Suddenly there appears an artist like Mme. Raisa and these very critics give vent to a delightful sigh of relief. The “grand style” has not disappeared after all, and though the old queens of song, the Pattis, the Nordicas, the Lehmans may have passed, youth steps into their place with as vital a message as was theirs. Although Mme. Rasla Is a Russian, she is operatically an Italian artist, while In the field of the song recital she is distinctly an Internationalist. She speaks with utmost fluency Russian, Italian, French, English, Germs- and Yiddish, an dshe appears

equaly at home in the songs of the composers of each of these nationalities. Two of Mme. Raisa's most recent triumphs were her performances In Bellini's “Norma” and Puccini’s “Suor Angelica.” Mme. Raisa has been no less admired, however, in the better known works such as “Alda” and “The Jewels of the Madonna,” in which the enormous power and rich beauty of her voice have had full play. ‘ *1- -I- -IF’ollowing Is the program for the first artist recital of the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale on Friday afternoon.

T r a £ y § Open S Have Made I' Ej4sy to Unionize I&troit Now.

B jjL. E. Tracy Probably American F’dloratlon of Labor \ edcYl have undertaken tc unionize Dett”>oit anyway, but this barring of_ it Is leaders from church pulpits "throaugh the influence oi j the Detroit (wlhamber of Commerce and the Trades Association' as President GrVeen has charged, makes such anv inevitable. If the open s rat's had gone out deliberately > provoke battle in their greatest Ktironghold and to alienate church sympathy tit the same time, they/ could hardly have adopted a surer* method. One finds it [' hard to understand why they riskeld so much to gain so little- What djid it matter whether half a dozen lilbor leaders addressed church congret-aMions? On the other hand, what di n*t it matter if the large employe: stnd commercial organization of ) af-troit laid themselves open to the c war go of trying to coerce churcl em? If local co coitions are as sound and satisfacti fy as they claim, why didn’t they mst stand pat and let the opposdtio aalk? They certainly displayed a ufderful deal of alarm for men whe re :>ure of themselves, and there i .'it tie doubt that this had an effe the labor convention. W .Ktiher rightly or wrongly, most It :c;r’ leaders regard Dc troit as an easier place to unionize than they dldl a few days ago, and are in a much*, readier mood to pick up tho cha 'or^gc. 7 -i- -i- -iW. C, U, r U. for Smith Frank A*. Smith, who says he is dry, watt nominated for the Senate by Illinois Republicans, while George Siren nan, whom everybody knows tol be wet, was nominated by the Democrats. Sam iTfiKull, who represents some ?600, worth of public utilities and has .spare change enough to buy theaters ] for his wife, contributed to the camjpaigns of both, though far more extensively to that of Smith than Fyrennan’s. Smitjn’s slush fund approached a million) and was raw not only because lof the size, but becauie so much (of it came from public itility magnates. Taking Smith’s election for granted unless something were done, a few Republicans, who placed the thought of common honesty above that of party success, got together and persuaded Hugh Maglll to run as an independent. The Anti-Saloon League asked h -tfn to withdraw on the ground that candidacy hurt Smith’s chances,! the head of the League declaring that “this is no time for Idealism.” You can go into Pennsylvania and find wets winking at corrupt politics in the same complacent way to put Vare over. We have come to a point In this country where a good many people would rather wade In rottenness than give up their prejudices. The thing hits got to stop before we can hope for clean government. -I- 4 +

That Lynching Three Negroes, a woman and two men. were lynched at Aiken, S. C., Friday night. They were not charged with that “unspeakable crime” so generally offered as the excuse for lynching, but with complicity in the murder of a sheriff. They had been tried once, convicted and sentenced to death, but the Supreme Court had reversed the case and their second trial was in progress, ft The officers were "overpowered” of coulee, though none had many scars to show for it, and they didn't recognize any members of the mob, though they must have been pretty close to some when “overpowered-** It is the same old story, and you can’t say much about It without repeating the same old arguments. The Negroes were made to suffer unjustly because a crowd of white men repudiated their own law, own preaching, own State and own standards. + I' + Poor New Jersey ( New Jersey folks are inveterate hunters, though not particularly successful. They have chased a leopard all summer without getting anything but rumors, have tried to solve the Hall-Mills murder mystery for four years and nowe they are out to find “Blackboard's treasure.” Far be it from me to throw cold water on the noble pastime, or discourage anyone by scoffing at the possibility of triumph. Old Teach may have hidden his loot In New Jersey and right beside the stump In Mrs. Stewart's back yard, where men are now digging. Still ft is rather surprising that with all the generations which have come and gone, with the eternal hunger tor gold gnawing at their hearts and w th the exact location written down, a* it is claimed, no one should have thought of using a spade before. ‘Blackboard” was not what you might call a modest man. who sought to conceal his traffic and movements, or who slipped quietly Into the grave with a lot of secrets. Few men ever made a more startling or permanent impression. He was an advertiser right, with his beribboned whiskers and fourteen wives, his friendship for governors, his ability to dance or slit a throat as occasion required, setting a style not only for gentlemen of his calling, but for those who 4 write about them, v I Not that all this has much to do with the question of where Mr. Edward Thatch, sometimes called Teach, and more often "Blackboard” buried his plunder but that It shows his goings and comings were pretty' well known and have been pretty thoroughly discussed for 20# yearn, and suggests that if his coaches have been overlooked someone been guilty of Inexcusable carelessness.
