THE STE PHENSON VISIT Indiana's most spectacular convict has come and gone—under unusual circumstances. Fifteen months ago, his word was law in Indiana. It was no idle boast when he declared that he was “the law.” His genius for organization and his ruthlessness and lack of conscience had £iven him a political power that had been unparalleled in the history of any State. ; lie had ruled a political convention almost absolutely. With one exception, he had named a ticket. His selections were in office and in power. A Legislature had shown a strange subserviency to his wishes. , His magnetism had permitted him to betray and nHsleud thousands of persons to a strange loyalty which he turned to his own advantage and which he capitalized into power. Wealth poured upon him and he spent it with the lavishness of an emperor, and the barbarism of a savage. He commanded the men he had made great to attend upon his orgies and they went. His splendor vas limited only by his lack of imagination and his own degradation of thoughts He bound men by his own secrets and terrorized hem by the fear of their own obedience and obligations. And then he became a mere convict, a murderer, entenccd for life, for the murder of a girl under such atrocious circumstances that public opinion revolted and cried out in protest. He was brought back to this city by a grand jury be asked to furnish documentary proof of his political crimes. There are those who might have been led to the conclusion that if this jury failed to force him to produce checks and contracts of graft and receipts for bribes, that there had been no graft or corrupiion or bribery. The logic, of course, is simple. If this convict failed to confess, there had been no crime. Hut the situation is not quite so simple as all that. What Stephenson told this jury, is,. of course, secret. It will not be known until some authority releases it and tells a court what he said. Whether he gave any documents or not is quite properly the knowledge, at t#iis time, of the jury which is charged with the duty of probing graft. * But it may be very proper to suggest that what he said or did not say, what he produced or did not produce, is*not important. What had this convict to fear from defiance of any court. He is under a life sentence. He can afford to 1 mgh at the anger of judges or the wrath of courts. Sentences to jail mean nothing to him. He is already there for life. A fine would mean nothing. He is Where he could spend no money if he had any. The only fear that might grip him now is the wrath of his keepers, any strange or unusual means of torturing a human being, the solitary dungeon, the paddle, the diet .of bread and water. Thinking people might stop to ask, if they really i hink, what they would do if they held secrets against any one and were in his position. Wqmld they deliver them to a jury in a hope for revenge or would they cling to 'them as the one possible means of finally standing in the sunlight of freedom. * Would they blat what they knew, deliver keys to lark boxes, plead with their private custodians to connV forth and vindicate the law or would they stanlon the law of the jungle where every one fights .for h)mse!f and for his own life? '' hat obligation would this man have to a society that lias banished him forever because he has outlawed its most sacred conventions? True, he may have tohl. That remains for the future to unfold. For the grand jury is on the trail of the graft and corruption and briberies which he is declared to hare said that he could prove. And hejnay have been sileijt. And neither matters much, unless he should have given proof. - The only reason that any one ever paid any attention to his- charges was that it was common knowledge in this State that he was in position to ’.now of such crimes if there were any committed during the years of pis power. The only reason there was any demand for any ’ nquiry was that his cry from his cell sounded reasonable to too many people for it to be overlooked. May it not be properly suggested that had any other convict iu any other prison made a similar charge that it would not have even amounted to a whisper where (his has been heard from coast to coast. * ‘ When all other questions are answered, perhaps ihe people will give the reason for this remarkable situation. , , Perhaps (lie people will supply the answer—the people this man misled and fooled and betrayed and the people who were aghast at the magnitude of his brazen ruthlessness.

YES, BY A DAM SITE “There's the Amsterdam Dutch ‘‘And the Rotterdam Dutch “But we don’t Rive a dam “For any dam Dutch.” —Old Deep Sea Chantjj. Da;a ien't profanity when spelled without the final “n,” so that’s all right and we can discuss freely the situation in California. It seems there’s now a low dam project, in addition to the high dam project, being discussed in connection with Boulder dam. The high dam projector?—pretty much all of California—don't give a dam for the low dam project. The low dam projectors are not so numerous, consisting largely of Herbert Hoover ahd pertain private powfcr interests. Now what is a dam site, v more or less, high or low, to the rest of the country? In the first place it is $125,000,000. The $125,000,000 will be left in the pofckets of taxpayers from Maine to Oregon if the high dam is built, because a high dam will generate enough electric power to pay for itself. If a low dam is built the taxpayers will pay for it. The $125,000,000 worth of electric power will belong to private power companies in California. That’s not all. If a high dam is built so that the Government controls the hydro-electric output|of the

Colorado, the southwest will have cheap poVer. Ontario people already have cheap power, and Americans, hearing about it, are becoming discontented with their own high rates. It would be unfortunate fro mthe point of view of the power interests If the Colorado river project should demonstrate that all of us might have smaller lighting and heating bills every month. The issue will be fought out in the next Congress, befuddled by a maze of technical details. But the whole thing is simply this: High dam —low tax rates, low light bills. Low dam—high tax rates, high light bills. THE LEGION GOES TO PARIS At Philadelphia yesterday the American Legion voted to hold its 1927 convention In Paris. Some of the legionnaires obviously had not forgotten the anti-American demonstrations in France last summer and were Inclined to question the wisdom of making the pilgrimage at this time. But they were snowed under. The boys wanted to go and France wants them to come, as evidenced by her sending two official welcomers all the way to the sesqui city to say so. So there'll be two American Legion conventions next year instead of the usual one. The first, in Paris, the advocate general says, will be unconstitutional; therefore, a second will be held In New York to validate the decisions taken overseas. No sooner had this Interesting and momentous decision been announced than the Lincolnesque figure of John R. McQuigg, national commander, took the floor to utter a timely warning: “By your affirmative vote,” he said, rolemnly weighing every word, “you have committed the legion to one of the most spectacular, one of the most beneficial events in history. It now behooves us to make it a success. “Your vote is not the end of your endeavor. It is only the beginning. “I want to Impress upon you the magnitude of the undertaking and the absolute necessity of the best kind of cooperation on the part of every member of the American Legion. In no other jvay can it succeed and it must be a success or it will be a tremendous detriment to the legion and to every one connected with It. “No event In recent times has the significance that this event will have, internationally and for the legion.” Every friend of the legion will echo the words of Commander McQuigg. LABOR FROM PORTO RICO Labor conditions in Porto Rico appear to he verybad, and that their badness is beginning to slop over into the continental United States is indicated by evidence in possession of the Labor Department and the American and Pan-American Federations of Labor. Porto Rican labor is superabundant and consequently cheap. It Is also exempt from American immigration restrictions. Porto Rico is a thickly populated island and its population consists of a very few rich ahd a great many poor. The Porto Rican laborer comes rather nearer to serfdom than the Mexican. The island has a permanent army of about 300,000 unemployed. Even those who can find work generally find it not more than half the year. Wages average around 50 cents a day. Living conditions, of course, are miserable. Under such circumstances, what is starvation pay in the United States naturally sounds munificent to a Porto Rican. That, declares Secretary Santiago Iglesias of the Pan-American Federation of Labor, Is just how American employment agents arc fooling the Porto Ricans. Iglesias is authority for the statement that they are arriving in rapidly increasing numbers. Ho blames the large cotton growers especially. Arriving here, the workers find themselves, if anything, he says, worse off than on their native island. Unless speedy steps are taken to check the movement, labor officials warn that an even worse situation will ensue than resulted from the Mexican invasion. Consider some famous haircuts: Queen Marie’s, Jackie Coogan’s, Senator Borah’s and D. C. Stephenson’s. The skull of a pirate has been found over In New Jersey. He probably was out on an hourly basis and ran out of gas. A man with a roll of money these days is as likely as not a politician. But then you can’t tell when you may run Into an alumnus going back for the “big game.” / .

DOUBTFUL SAVIORS -By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON*

It is to be hoped that Government officials Will not take too seriously that magnificent gesture from, the brave and dauntless knights of the Ku-Klux Klan, and leave the Mexican situation wholly in their hands. The imperial wizard tells us that, in case our’ southern neighbor were invaded by a foreign foe, the clarion call of the klan would ring forth, and Goblins and Kludds would spring to arms from every corner to protect American interests. . You perhaps, however, will remember when Jack Walton ran rampant In Oklahoma. That was a day when no low descending sun but saw members added to the ranks of the masked chevaliers. Night by night sheeted men -went forth intoithe shipping pasture and chastised their fellows. From the Red River bottoms to the Kansas plains, parades were staged, until the number of members in that one.State alone went into the hundred thousands. And then Jack started. He declared martial law. He trained machine guns on the courthouse. He suspended the writ ot habeas corpus. Poor, erring, unlearned, unwise Jack simply stood up all by himself and told the klan where they could go, and what think you those minions of Hiram did? They Went. They scurried. They vamoosed. Viewing poor Habeas —that greatest right of a common people—trampled and bleeding in the dust—they merely fled. From these thousands of knights no sound of battle was ever heard. They fought manfully, it Is true, at the ballot box, and laid on bravely in the State Legislature, but as for spurs and arms to uplift Habeas Corpus, there were none. This is one reason why it would be sadly unwise for us to leave any foreign foe to the battling of the klan. The Boy Scouts would probably be more dependable when It came to the bloody fray.

Tracy Do Away With Slums and There Will Be Fewer 'Scarfaces, 1 '

By M. E. Traoy “Searface” Capone, reputed overlord of Chicago's illegal beer trade, says that the. gang war should stop, and that ha would stop it if given half a chance. “I don’t want to die In the street,” he said Wednesday. "There is enough business for all of us,” he added, “without killing each other like animals.” He was looking at a picture of his 7-year-old son, says the correspondent, as he made these observations. -I- -I- + A Different Picture "Searface” Capone has either been painted much blacker than he ever was, or he haa undergone a surprising change of heart, ( For years the public not only in Chicago, but throughout the country, has been taught to regard him as a heartless gang leader, who would order men “bumped off” much as you or I would order a chicken killed. Os all the murders in connection with the gang warfare for control of Chicago's booze traffic, scarcely one has occurred without Capone’s name receiving dishonorable mention. To let the police tell it. he has amounted to nothing less than the evil genius of an evil underworld—a devil incarnate, who cut down his victims in open daylight and on crowded streets, who caused machine guns to crackle within earshot of the most important police Rtation, and who got away with It all, because of his ability to corrupt officers and command gang loyalty. + -i- -iWorth $2,000,000 "Searface” Capone is only 27 years old. He has accumulated a fortune which some estimate as high as $2,000,000. He has hundreds of henchmen, and not one has squealed on him yet. Ho lives to enjoy the fruit of his peculiar talent, though 75 or 100 just as ambitious and just as desperate bootleggers have gone to their doom-. Shall we attribute this to the evil superiority of one man. to the weaJ<. ness and Incompetence of the police, or to the slums of a great citv? -!- -I- -IWhy Are Slums? Wide avenues and spacious gardens for the palace: dark alleys and dingy ,hovels for those who served—did the king . suppose he could keep his household clean and healthy If his servants wallowed In filth? Even If the king did, why should democracy follow suit? Many a Boston street Is but the enlargement of a path where the Puritans once led their cows to pasture, and many a modern city Is modeled on the pattern of despotism and slavery.

Why should there be so much difference between the east side and the west side of New York? Allowing .that rich people should have houses that they can afford, why should they have so much better streets, parks and playgrounds provided at public expense? •I- -I- -IHeckscher's Plan August Heckseher has made a splendid proposition to the mayor of New York. It has a definite bearing on slums, the city’s welfare and conditions that make such careers as that of "Scarfacc” Capone in Chicago possible. He wants to raise half a billion dollars to clean up the east side, to supplant this old, rotten, run-down, insanitary tenement district with wholesome, airy homes, where middle class people ran live and enjoy themselves at reasonable cost. First, he wants 500 wealthy citizens to pledge SIOO,OOO apiece for each year during the next five years, which would make a total of $250,000,000. Then he wants the city and State to match this sum with dollar for dollar. He himself is ready to hack the project with a large part of his fortune. If there were more Heckschers there would be fewer Capones. -I- -I- + Philanthropy Fashionable The consoling part of it is that there will he more Heckschers. Philanthropy has become fashionable in America. Even the "four hundred" sneers when a rich man dies without leaving something to the public. Much of the giving may have been mistaken, but It embodied the right spirit—the redistribution of wealth. As oyr wealthy families grow oldpr, they are bound to grow wiser, and be more practical without becoming less charitable. The rest of the world Is inclined to sneer at us on the ground that we have produced nothing but a codfish aristocracy which rests on cheap commercialism, and which doesn’t know what to do with its money, except display it in vulgar ways. There is one thing the rest of the world overlooks, and that is the goodheartedness, the disposition to be helpful, that can’t help developing In a society like ours. We have floundered a lot, but we have flou idered in the right direction. There isn’t a nation on earth, and never was, where great fortunes were so commonly dissipated, or where the wealthy class thought so consistently about what it ought *to do for the common good. When were water Ice and ice cream invented? Water ices were probably brought to France from Italy about 1550. Ice cream is said to have been known in Paris in 1775. England and Germany had it about the same time. The first advertisement of ice cream in New York appeared June 8, 1786. How many persons were killed and injured by railway accidents in 1923, 1924 and 1925?

Wind in Trees and the Whippoorwill Had Much to Do With Birth of the Blues

By Walter I). Hickman Have asked Dad and he didn't know and I put the same question to “Mammy" and she didn't know — "where were the blues born?” Nobody seemed to know until De Sylva, Brown and Henderson rigged up a blues number for George White’s "Scandals” by the name of "The Birth of the Blues.” Os course, all of us haven't had a chance to see Georgie's now show, so I obtained a copy of this number on a Vocalion record It Is done by Harry Richman, who is failed a comedian, and an ochestra. Os course, the lyrics could have been ruined by an unsympathetic melody, but the song writers were too clever to let any of the cooks ruin this musical broth. While this record Is being unfloojled you learn that the people long ago -wanted anew kind of melody. And one day, when they were swaying to and fro, they heard music in the trees, caused by the wind Then they started to sway some more, because the wind in the trees was singing a melody. Then a w'hippoorwill from a far away dell let out a plaintive note and they took it and put it in a horn until It became warm—until It made anew warm note. Then a quail or something gave another plaintive note and they made it a part of the blues. Then they coaxed and rehearsed ai! of these warm notes until they became the blues, a wonderful new note. And that, my children, is how the song writers contend that the blues were born. And now Harry Richman puts this tun-* and, lyrics over. Wow. it is about sis heart-to-heart number as you would expect Al Jolson to tnake. This Richman fellow lias captured warm new notes that the song fellow guys write about. "The Birth of the Blues" on a Vocalion is about the warmest and sweetest "baljad blues" number I have heard. Am playing It now while I write this. Can do It because I apt telling you about the records while writing at my home. Used to take lots of notes, carry ’em to the office. Now I play the records many times and when I arrive at a conclusion, whether good or had, I just sit down to my typewriter and tell you about it. You must come over and hear this tune. . On the other side of this Vocalion record Richman sings another tune of the day, "Lucky Day.” It tells a9out a boy who •was in clover, gay al' ever, found a horseshoe and th-m "you, little devil, you cJtme my way.” Lucky he “is, so much so that he wanted to yell Hey-Hey. Spanish Atmosphere Do you like Spanish melodies with a background of hot ting-a-ling? I do, and I have found a gorgeously rich collection of these tunes. Where? On a Brunswick record. Who does it? The Merrymakers, a choritb of mixed voices with assistance of Brunswick artists. Name of record? It is ’The Merrymakers in Spain.” This Idea of the Merrymakers giving the tunes and melody settings in many countries is a fine one. The artists have been wisely selected. The melodies the same. And then there is a dramatic recital of a bull fight. And Carmen music? Sure, you could have no bull fight without "Carmen" music. On the other side you will hear the Merrymakers give yJu the melodies of Hawaii. Here Is a novelty record of distinctive charm. The whole family will enjoy these two numbers.

All Foxed I’p Have you met "Bobadllla?” She Is sort of a twin sister to "Valencia.” ,Ace Beery has a good term for such tunes. He calls ’em "trick tunes." Th& trick seems to put the Argentine and the Spanish twist to a fox trot tempo. “Hodabilla,” as played by the Gotham Nightingales on an Okeh "true tone process" record, is one of those melodies belonging to the "Valencia” school of fox trotting. It has a cute little jingle and a clever little twist. On the other side, the Gotham Nightingales fox up “That’s Why I Love You.” Nifty orchestration done in the best fox trotting way. You know that I haven’t prancing feet, but I have hopes that some of these warm melodies will give mo dancin’ feet. And this is good news—she is still my baby whether she walks or rides. And she is still my baby no matter where she goes. You will become aware of that when you hear the Araby Garden's Orchestra play "She’s Still My Baby” with a vocal chorus by Larry Murphy. Here is a nifty fox trot. The lyrics are snappy. It is an Okeh. Quite right for hoofing. On the other side you have the same orchestra playing "I'd Love to Meet That Old Sweetheart of Mine.” They have foxed this tune all up. so much so that the fox's old tail is there. The concert is over for today. -!* -I- -I- --- -I- -INEW SHOW AT THE PALACE TODAY Dance Flashes, the headlining act at the Palace Theater the rest of this week, sets forth a series of terpsichorean pictures which are called ‘‘Dancing as You Like It.” Russian, too, jazz, eccentric, athletic, clog tap and aesthetic steps are included in the elaborate offering presented by three men and three women. . Special settings and costumes are found in the act. • “At Four P. M.” Is the humorous sketch dealing with vacations, songs and patter which a trio of funsters offer in the second spot. A clergyman, a husband and a wife are the characters who distribute the laughter. A satire on present day conditions is offered by Cleveland and Dowry. In this vehicle they present many problehis, but do not attempt Jo solve them. They use the current topics as laugh gatherers. “A delineator of syncopated song" is Athlone, a young woman who is assisted her pianist, Billy Mallen. Miss Athlone is a specialized “blues” singer.

Pipe Time Everytime that I read Riley's "That Old Sweetheart of Mine." I have the feelin’ that if. should be read before a fireplace with the lights low and a pipe in my mouth. I haven't a fireplace, but I have the pipe and the soft low lights. Had the same feelin’ when I play "Fluttering Ghosts,” played by l-ldith Lorand and her orchestra. Recorded in Europe on an-JJdeon. As I play this soothing, pleasing and melodious little waltz, I just blow smoke out of my pipe and dream. It rather takers away the troubles of the day. And the melody on the other side, “Donau Nymphs," has that same soothing effect. Here is a dream orchestra.

WHO CONTROLS THE CHURCH? By N, I). Cochran

There Is food'for thought and provocation to argument in tlie attitude of the Detroit council of churchy, toward the leaders of organized labor. It Involves the possible future attitude of a large part of the population toward tho churches. Here are the facts as reported in the New York Times: Anticipating the presence of President Wililam Green and other of-ficers-at the annual convention of th# American Federation of Libor, some cf the Detroit churches invited various officers to occupy their pulpits on the Sunday these officers would be in Detroit. The Y. M. C. A. had Invited President Green to address that body. That invitation was cancelled. So were the invitations to other labor offioials to occupy certain pulpits. For years It has been a practice to issue such church invitations in cities where the A. F. of L. conventions were held. On learning of the cancellation of these invitations President Green issued a statement charging that the barring of labor representatives was due to the influence of the Detroit board of commerce and the Building Trades Association, whose membership is made up largely of employers of labor. The Times correspondent reports that, "the churches and the Young Men’s Christian Association decided to bar union representatives, because of the controversy between union leaders in this city and manufacturers advocating the open shop and company unions." Also that President C. B. Van Dusen, of the Y. M. C. A., explained that "the directors felt It would be Indiscreet to have Mr. Green appear on Sunday in view of the $5,000,000 building campaign program of the association and the fear that the presence of the labor official would indicate to many that the Young Men s Christian Association supported the side presented by Mr. Green." Among the trustees of the Y. M. C. A. are former United States Senator Truman H. Newberry and Charles Beecher Warren, former ambassador to Mexico and Japan. Newberry will be remembered as the Senator who saved his seat In the Senate by one vote when charged with spending more money than the Michigan law allowed In buying his seat. He then resigned. Warren's connection with the sugar trust caused his rejection by the Senate as attorney general in President Coolidgo’s Cabinet. James Myers, 'industrial and field secretary of the Church and Social service commission of the Federal Council of Churches, said the speakers Intended to Interpret the labor movement In the light of religious ideals, that it was not a matter of propaganda or partisanship, and that it was well within the plan to have the business men speak at the same time or on the following Sunday. The Times report says that last year sixteen pulpits were occupied by labor speakers at the Atlantic City convention on Labor Sunday. Two years ago the commission on social service of the Federal Council of Churches undertook to cooperate with the Federation of Labor in filling the pulpits. Also, that ministers who were questioned said privately that they

favored the idea of having labor leaders address their congregations, but that in every case it had been voted down by the vestrymen. The 'rimes quotes the Rev. Dr. Niebuhr, chairman of the industrial commissiiyi of the Detroit Council of Church, as saying: “I regard It as discouraging and disilllusioriizing evidence of the charge frequently made tha* there Is organic relation between the economic interests of commercial Classes and the life of the church." So much for the facts, as reported by one of tho most conservative newspapers in the country. As part of the background of this controversy, which may become Nationwide, it may be said that Detroit is known as an open shop town, and that employers of labor there have promoted the so-called "American lilan” and have made It very difficult for organized labor to make much headway. It is interesting to note that the churches which closed their doors on organized labor have held them wide open for years to speakers of

the League. As that organization has had the backing of big business ever since its efforts for prohibition changed from a moral crusade to an economic campaign, there probably has been no objection /rom employers organization to the policy of turning over oL pulpits to the League. 1 It appears In the present controversy that the Federal Council of Churches and the pastors of the Detroit churches were in favor of opening the church doors to labor speakers. The objection came from influential lay members of the churches who were trustees, vestrymen, etc. That is, the desire of the ministers to keep up the Christian relation with labor leaders was overruled by prominent citizens who oppose the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively. The danger to the churches in this policy is that it will encourage the belief that the biggest contributors to the upkeep of these churches and the Y. M. C. A. are the real directors of church policy, and that the ministers must obey orders. If the idea becomes general that churches are for the rich and powerful rather than for all classes of human society, then the influence of such churches In the dally life of the people will wane. However, this controversy will be worth while. Its educational value will be great. It will, in a degree, put Christianity as it exists In many of the churches today to the test. Maybe we will find out what Christianity Is. Labor isn’t on trial. It is the church. Who controls the church? NEXT: Christianity, f. o. b. Detroit. and
