ENLISTED UOR THE WAR Whatever politics may be involved in the investigations now being carried on into corruption, let no one mistake the purpose or the policy of The Times. This newspaper enlisted in the cause of good government for the duration of the war, not for t attle. It has no interest in parties. It has interest in government. It has no partisanship. It always has zeal for the citizen. Long before the startling charges came from the coll of D. C. Stephenson, this newspaper was diligently probing into the misgovernment that was so apparent in eapnty and State that it believed there was v duty of e^osure. It hated government by venal minorities and self- ■ -'h groups. It is dedicated to the foundation principles of v nis Government, which is rule by the majority. And then when this life-term convict, once the most powerful figure in Indiana, the maker of Governors, the dictator of political conventions, the boss of a Legislature*, caught in his own machine, cried ou*. that he had documents which would prove graft and corruption, The Times declared that those charges must be investigated^ If they were false, Indiana must not rest under the burden of shame and slander. If they be true, the guilty must\be driven from power and so punished that never again "Vould men be tempted to sell their souls to some master trickster. That was the reason behind the demand of The Times upon Governor Jackson that he permit this prisoner to tell his story. No one doubted his ability to prove such charges. That was the startling and terrible thing—that they were accepted as true and that interest centered not on the charges but on the question of whether Stephenson could be induced to reveal his secrets and produce his evidence. The Times was amazed that there was not an indignant denial. It was amazed that for five days officialdom was not only silent,but turned its every effort towards keeping Stephenson from being seen by any one and especially by six State Senators in whose names a demand for admission had been made. The Times was ashamed for Indiana when it required a visit from Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the magic of his father’s name to open he lips of any former associate and beneficiary of Stephensonism in any feeble promise of investigation. It was for the purpose of following this trail to its end that it alone of the Indianapolis newspapers, day after day, repeated its demand for an inquiry that would satisfy. It was for that reason that it has tried, fn every way and to the full- extent of its resources, to assist a grand jury under Prosecutor Remy to get at the facts. For it realized, as people must realize, that this body is almost helpless, without investigators, without trained detectives, without any of the ordinary agencies for the disclosure of crime and the obtaining of evidence. / And more and more it realized that every force of those in power who had bepn placed in their positions of eminence and influence by Stephenson were using that power, not to uncover graft, but to block and hinder its discovery. When Clyde Walb made his charges, now proven, to be false, it was* The Times which urged Senator James A. Reed to come to Indiana and under the mandate of the Senate seek the truth of those charges. " % Be it remembered to the discredit of Mr. Walb and of Senators Watson and Robinson that they did not at any time appeal to Reed for a probe of his charges. That is understandable now. It was perplexing then, for The Times was guileless enough to believe that Walb had some evidence before a charge that corrupt money was to be found in every precinct. and the honor of Indiana from an assault by those mythical “international bankers” as it had been persistent in demanding a probe of the Stephenson charges. And when Reed came and the poisoned press which supports Senators Watson and Robinson misquoted Reed as saying that he had found only "chicken feed,” it remained for The Times to print the stern rebuke from the Missouri Senator in which ho denied not only the statement but added that Walb, the chairman of the Republican committee, had written a deliberate falsehood and was thoroughly discredited by his own testimony. Tjiese facts are rehearsed so that there may be no misunderstanding on the part of its readers as lo its purpose and its policy. It has dared to print the news when other newspapers in this city were silent. It dared to print the news and the fact and to get the facts because it has no friends to protect and no enemies to punish. No political parties to foster and none to fight. dt does have the hope that the people will in this election wipe from power those who are heirs tb that foul thing called Stephensonism, will defeat those who once paid their tribute of obedience to his commands, who were once proud and eager to be his political slaves. But it pledges here and now that it will carry on this fight for honesty and decency no matter what the people may decide to do with their ballots on next Tuesday. It will carry on that warfare against dishonesty and corruption as long as it has one sheet of white paper on which to print its warning. It will wage that war against any who may in the future be tempted to betray the people of this State or use power given them for their own purposes. It believes that the first battle will be won next Tuesday, for it has faith in Indiana, in the honesty and the integrity and the intelligence of its people. And The Times knows that the war will be won i.x the end, for it proposes to see that there is never any surrender to the powdVs of darkness and of evil

aaid that finally there will come to Iftdtana a government of which its people may be proud and for which they need not apologize. £ “OUR MAN WATSON” More illuminating than any spoken word is the letter from the woman who led the Klan forces in the State last January, when she wrote so pathetically of the falling off of membership, the lack of funds and then declared that “our man Watson” would have clear sailing in Klan politics. Even more significant is her promise that .after April 1 salary and expenses would he paid to her worker who was called upon to carry on a campaign for Watson during the winter. It may be remembered that it was in April that the Watson organization made its public appearance and the treasurer was on hand. That banishes all the explanation that the members of that order favor Watson because he was against the World Court. He had not, at that time, made known his position on the subject. Senators who had charge of the Coolldge effort to pass the measure did not know. The leaders of the opposition did not know. Until the last minute he was listed as “doubtful.” Were more needed, turn to the undenied charge of Claris Adams, his opponent in the primaries, who declared that Watson had told at least two men that he voted against the court only when he was assured that his vote was not needed to pass it and that he had helped to secure other votes for the court while he cast his own against it. In the light of this sincere letter, so sincere that it reveals the enthusiasm and the purpose of its writer, the more formal explanations and denials of Senator Watson of any dealings with wizards and dragons lose their punch.

THOSE SENSIBLE NORWEGIANS Seven years ago Norway went dry. Ever since then the country has been beset by ram runners, bootleggers, poison liquor which simply could not be stopped and —well, you know how. it is here in the United States. That’s just the way it’s been in Norway. There, as with us, all sorts of important issues have been hanging fire for an inexcusably long time because shoved aside by tire wet-dry question. [t didn’t mat’er very much how a candidate stooU on an issue involving the life or death of the nation just so he was right <?n prohibition. Finally the people got sick of the situation. They either wanted prohibition or they didn’t vwant it. They did not want what they had to continue. And, being a nation almost without any illiterates whatever, but a pretty well informed lot, they decided to put it to a vote. They did —Tuesday- You know the result. It was a landslide against prohibition. But that is not the meat in the eocoanut, says Premier Lykke. "The thing is, it’s settled. And I’m glad. We can now suppress the criminal booze peddlers, big and little, and what’s more important still, the prohibition question has been got out of the way of greater problems that await solution.” “We have at last shown that we are a sensible people,” remarked the grizzled old Arctic explorer, Raold Amundsen, after the plebiscite. And haven’t they? The Latins have a saying that a door must be open or shut. In this country we are still trying to have ours both ways.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HOLIDAYS By N. I). Cochran What's the truth about holidays? That is, what does any one of our holidays mean to the great mass of men, women and children? Just another day for rest from work and any kind of recreation each individual can afford to enjoy. How many__geople give any thought to George Washington on George's birthday? How many think of the Civil War, the emancipation proclamation or of the Ford’s theater assassination on Lincoln’s birthday? And why cares a darn about Christopher Columbus on Columbus day? g Darned few. A few orators get speeches off their bulging chest, and are listened to by a few bored people who are glad when the speeches are over. Editorials are printed in the newspapers to be read without much interest by most readers. But in the main, men, vyomeri and children do their darnedest to have a good time. And there's nothing wrong about the people,at that. They’re human. If they don’t bother their heads about the great dead on these birthdays It Isn’t because they have no respect the worthy dead accomplished for humanity, but because they don’t see that anything worth while can be accomplishedt by these annual funerals. The bunk about the holiday thing is In the superstitious notion of a very few people that It’s our duty to celebrate the birthday of any man whose birthday Congress can be persuaded to legalize. The people who don't bother their heads about the dead great, but go and have a good time because they have the chance, are saner than those who think everybody ought to spend their time on these holidays twiddling their thumbs and thinking about the dead past. * During the world's series the band started off each game by' playing the national anthem. Everybody stood up and men all took off their hats. They did it because it was expected of them, whether during the war they enlisted or ducked the draft. Baring the head and standing at attention when the band plays that tune doesn’t prove that a man Is a patriot. Most any man would keep his seat if nobody wa3 looking. If you don’t believe this, jusf ask yourself if you stood up when the band played if,you happened to be sitting in an easy xhair taking in/ the games over the radio. Patriotism is a good thing when it is needed. The American people always have plenty of it when called upon. But it isn’t necessary to everlastingly advertise it. When you hear any one bragging about being a 100 per cent American you're safe in cutting off at least one of the ciphers. Os the holidays, Columbus day means least of all. Even If he discovered America, and there is doubt about that, he contributed nothing to the forming of America’s character as a nation and nothing toward founding or building up the American republic. We had to be discovered soon or late, and ft makes no difference to us who happened to do it. If any of our ancestors were among th, discovered they were Indians anyhow; and we don’t pay much attention to Indians nowadays unless they own oil land in Oklahoma. If Columbus had been a Mohammedan or Buddhist nobody would have been interested in having Congress make his birthday a lpgal h liday. After all, a holiday is a .nollday unless it happens to be some religious celebration and is a holy day. That's why Chr’ v ,nas is different from other holidays. And it’s all r for the people to celebrate holidays by having ..Kind of a resflfeptable good time they want to have. j Next: The Brighter Side omK wrder -

Tracy Who Knows We Can’t Find Out About Planet Mars?

By M. E. Tracy Not aa you understand distance, but in the language of astronomers, Mars will be close to the earth this coming weeks. A thousand telescopes are being polished and adjusted while radio enthusiasts from Hong Kong to New York will tune in with the hope of ; hearing something. You think it I funny, perhaps, and wonder why | these people can’t I more practical to concern themselves about. You regard Is as ridiculous that they should consider the possibility of learning anything worthwhile by shooting at such long range. Mars will be 42,000,000 miles away. Our fastest railroad train couldn't make the journey in 100 year*., and there are no tracks. Light, however, makes it in four minutes. The earth travels through space at lightning rapidity and could make it in thirty days. Something In nature produces speed that is far beyond steam and the combustion engine. Who knows that we can’t discover what it is if we keep trying? We cap communicate with each other around the world in a matter of seconds. Why should we assume that it is impossible to communicate across the great voids of space? Because conditions on Mars appear different from what they arton earth, some say that life cannot exist there, but why? Why should we suppose that the kind of life w® know is the only kind? > Mars may represent a spirituality ages In advance of us, or it may be a rusty old ball that is about ready to disintegrate. We have no right to Waste time arguing over what we don’t know. It is our business to investigate and experiment. Even though we neyer hit the mark, we shall learn something. •I- •!• -IA Vital Decision ' In 1917, President Wilson appointed Frank S. postmaster at Portland, Ore., for a term confirmed by the Senate is the Constitution provides. In 1920, after Meyers bad been asked to resign and had refused the President removed him from office. Myers claimed this was illegal and brought suit to recover the salary that would have been due had he served his full term. His contention was that he had only been appointed for four years and should not be removed serving less than three, but that he had been appointed with the ‘advice and consent” of the Senate and could not be removed without It. As often happens under out slowgoing law, Myers died before the case was disposed of, but bis heirs continued to press the claim of $8,831, which he had filed. The amount of his claim was of little consequence to Government or taxpayer* but the Supreme Court decision by which It has been denied is of stupendous moment. In declaring flyers not entitled to recover, the Supreme Court upheld President Wilson’s right t 8 remove him, and In upholding President Wilson’s right. It has confirmed the right of every Resident to remove every postmaster, or other appointive official. !• T -IBobbed Hair The average woman Ms not only willing to part with her hair, but to pay good money for the sake of getting rid of it Mary Garden Expresses the prevailing sentiment correctly when she says that the woman who refuses to bob is a dashed fool. No faith can be so universal, however, and a fashion so complete that somebody won’t oppose It. Besides, the very commonness of bobs has made hair scarce and scarcity Is one element of value. It Is not surprising, therefore, to find a New York lady—one of the dwindling few who have kept their tresses—suing a beauty parlor for $25,000 because, as she charges, two feet of her hair was- singed and had to be cut off while she was getting a permanent wave. •I- -I- -IDrinking in Commons By vote and resolution, the British House of Commons has denied that Its members get drnk, or conduct themselves In an unbecoming manner because of the Influence of liquor. The debate which preceded this verdict of self-righteousness was heated enough to fee truthful In spots. T. H. O'Connor, "father of the House” said that drunkenness Is not nearly so prevalent now as It used to be. and cited an jncldent In the career of William Pitt to prove ft. A member rose one day to tell Pitt that he couldn't see him. Pitt, who had just consumed three quarts of port, said that while he could see three men talking, he could only hear onet voice, and didn’t feel equal to passing on the question. Dr. Alfred Salter, a Diborlte member, who brought charges of drunkenness In the first place and Is responsible for all the commotion, said that he was willing to admit that the use of l|guor is not so common ns it was even three or four years ago, hut that it is still common enough to be disgraceful. MORE IN NIGHT SCHOOLS Three Thousand Attend This Year; Increase of 500. Increase of 500 over last year’s enrollment In city night schools was reported to school commissioners by Superintendent E. U. Graff. This year there are 3,000 attending evening school, while last year there were only 2.500. School Is held each Monday, Wednesday and Frida/ nights.' . ** •

The World May Wait for Sunrise But Allen Me Quahae Studies Martha in Bed

By Walter D. Hickman The world may wait for the sunrise but Allen McQuahae for it in bed while studying "Martha.” There are many ways rest and this Irish tenor has a splendid way to take a nap. He just grabs a score of “Martha” or some other opera, throws himself on his bed. He croons the melody as he studies the opera, takes a short wink and tfhen the opera again. That was what McQuahae was doing at the Severin yesterday when I called upon him. He was just resting, but I noticed that it took some time for him to get “Ms iha” off of his mind. And that probably is. the reason for his great success in this country in ten years,, time. He studies all the time. So much so that when he j sings in Italy, he is mistaken for an i Italian tenor. “I am Irish.” he told me. “and if it is a crime lo be an Irish tenor, then I will go to truck driving.” But that will never happen because he has his own public. Thousands who love and admire his voice. McQwahae never His greatest public is over the radio. Tonight he will be the chief guest artist at the radio show at the fairground. He will be presented by Adolf Wagner of the 11. T. Electric Company, distributors of the At-water-Kent radio. • McQuahae comes prepared to sing for one hour tonight, beginning at 8:30. His program is arranged along the lines of a hig concert but he Is not forgetting his public that loves Irish melodies. , His program will include “I Hear You Calling Me,” "Kitty O'Toole.” “Kitty My Love,” "Come to the Fair,” "The Brown Bird Singing," and others. McQuahae is probably the best known radio singer in this country. He is giving his best to the air. He studies all the time, even when he Is resting. That is'the reason why this man Is the favorite tenor of thousands of radio listners. -!• •!• •!• ARDATH MAKES PISANS TO CfIME TO PALACE That Fred Ardath is anticipating his egagement at the Palace week of Nov. 14 ,-jtf the greatest of his stage career is Iwrne out by advance information concerning the company of fifteen artists he is bringing here.

WATSON DISTRICT [VINCES DISGUST VEXING TO G. 0 .P. Republican Leaders in Sixth Strive to Keep Voters • Lined Up. ’v Kohcop It. Fleming Timm Staff Corrmnondnit RUSHVILLE. Ind., Oct. 27.—Here in Senator Watson’s home district the Republican leaders are striving to hold disgusted Voters in line and wishing today was election day. If Watson carries the district It will be by a reduced majority, they privately say. Until a month ago the prospects were for the district to go for Watson tuiVl Robinson. Now no one knows, and each development of tlie State Republican mess apparently alienates more voters —only election day can tell how many. In Richmond, also, it was said that the turnover of Republicans who will scratch their State candidates will not be less than 10 per cent, and maybe more. Richmond and Wayne County have received an unusually full account of the Stephenson mess, and the Reed revelations of Watson and Robinson's favor in the eyes of the Ku-Klux Klan, and it is having Its effect. .Farmers Disgruntled This Is not to say there weren’t defections from the Republican ranks even six weeks ago. Watson had lost some popularity among the farmers, and there was an undercurrent of feeling against him among ex-service men. Some Republicans would have scratched him and others would have stayed away from the polls. "I think we’ll carry the district, all right.” said a Rushville Watson leader, doubtfully. "But around here, at least, at least half the people who voted for Claris Adams in the primary will vote against him and many of the rest will stay away from the polls. ‘The Stephenson revelations had some e/fect, but not a large effect, because Watson wasn't connected directly with them in the minds of the people. The Reed-investigation had more meaning. Then Reed was quoted by two of the Republican party organs of Indianapolis, r.a saying the Investigation evidence was ‘chicken feed,’ and that had a good effect for us, until Reefl's denial. "But if the Reed revelations are kept up until election day, and are as damaging as Monday's hearing in St. Louis, 'we’ll lose votes every day until the election.” "Home Town Stuff” Another Rushville man said that many persons in Rush County, even Democrats, would “vote for Jim if they smeared it on him an inch thick in the Reed hearings, because of that ‘home town boy’ stuff.” He said, however. that Watson would not have had his usual majority even if it had not been for the Stephenson scandal and the Reea hearings. "Now no one knows what will happen,” he said. "I wish I knew.” It was pointed out that Watson has engaged in what was phrased as "kidding the Catholics,” for many years, and had enjoyed man£ Catholic votes which, it was believed, would turn solidly against him this election. ' There is still another curious kickback from the fact that Watson has been pinned on the flaming cross of Klan approval, however. This is an apparent solidifying and strengthening of the. Klan, to some extent. In the Sixth district, as elsewhere, the Stephenson Klansmen and the

Few artists can claim as large an audience as Allen McQuahae, Irish tenor. The limits of his audience Is the air. He is the best known tenor on radio concerts today.

national Klan have been fighting, but it was said the Klan might even gain some strength from the publicity it has received. Seme of Stephenson's supporters will scratch the Senators, but others will vote for Watson. Interest in Expose In Wayne County, which has an unusually independent vote and which has had a full report of the Stephenson investigation and the Reed hearings through the Richmond Palladium, an independent Republican newspaper, it was emphasized that public interest in the revelations was unusually keen and was having much effect. Teachers, college professors, doctors, lawyers and professional classes generally will vote for the Democrats and especially for Evans Woollen for Se.Q; ator. Woollen is regarded in Wayne as a high-class man who will add luster to the Senate. It was predh ted he would lead his tic <et. Business men, here as in Rushvil e and Rush County, will vote Republican pretty generally on the tariff issue, and it was said In both towns that rt*nsiderable pressure had been put on the factory workmen to vote the same way. The farmers, however, will scratch Watson and Robinson to a considerable extent, and it is reported that they will lose many votes among ex-service men and their families from the G. A. R. down. This is particularly attributed to some displeasure with conduct of affairs at the National Military Home at Clarion, but partly to the recent revelations. In general, it may he said that all factors, with the added factor of a large number of independent Republicans in the county who are determined to “clean house” within the party from the top down, will seriously affect Wayne’s usual 3,0004.000 Republican majority and may wipe it out altogether. This does not apply to R. N. Elliott, the Republican Sixth district Representative in Congress, however. He is expected to be returned. Many voters who scratch Watson and Robinson are expected to cast their votes for him. Where is the highest waterfalls in the world?
