UNDER WHICH FLAG 1 ? Good citizens can now stand back and dispassionately choose the flag under which they will enlist next Tuesday. What are the arguments for following the leadership of Clyde Walb and casting a ballot for Senator James E. Watson and Arthur Robinson? The one appeal that has been made is that they bear the name of Republicans, a revered and hoiiored name, a party with a magnificent history. But what right have those who now manage its destinies to call themselves the heirs to Lincoln and to Roosevelt, or even claim kinship with the party of Calvin Coolidge? • On every major issue, Watson and Robinson voted against Coolidge in the last Congress. Not a member of his official family has come to the State to plead for their re-election. They have boasted of their break with his policies, relied upon that defiance to his program as a means of popular support. The Indiana member of the cabinet has campaigned in other States. He has not come back to his old home to plea'll for these Senators. In the past turbulent month, neither Watson nor Robinson have uttered one word which would lift Indiana from its bad name and its national disrepute. When Stephenson, once the political czar who was the friend of Robinson, his client and his asso elate in politics, and undisputedly on terms of political friendship with Watson, charged that he could prove corruption and graft on a huge scale, neither Watson nor Robinson as much as chirped a demand that the charges be proved or disproved. Their silence meant something. The people can decide exactly what it did mean. When Walb, their chairman and manager, made his charges that the State was filled with corrupt money, sent here to defeat them, neither of these Senators had the courage or the boldness to back his charges. And then came Senator Reed, probing into the truth behind that charge of Walb, and he learned from Watson that he had never heard of the charge made by his manager, and Robinson hurriedly disclaimed any part in that charge Then came the most terrific rebuke ever given to the head of a political machine in any State; the cold, calm verdict of Senator Reed that Walb had attempted to impose a deliberate lie upon the people of the State and had been thoroughly discredited by his own evidence. What claim Can these men have to being Republicans when they rely upon such statements and such men to lead their candidacies and bolste; up their pleas to the people? How long would Clyde Walb be left at the head of a campaign had he attempted such a thing in behalf of a Roosevelt or a Coolidge? Day after day there accumulates evidence of the bargain made months ago that the Klan organization would pay its debt to Watson and the Coffin machine In this city and would link its forces with that organization so that both Robinson and Watson would be elected. The denials of Senator Watson that he never saw Stephenson but once is driving a way from him even his own supporters who know better. Outside the record, ask any one who knows of that episode in South Bend when the senior Seaator sat in tlie dining room of the Oliver Hotel surrounded by his friends, among whom was a man who is now a Federal judge. Ask what happened when the swaggering Stephenson, then In the zenith of his power, stalked to his table to the evident embarrassment of the Senator, Ask what hurried precautions were taken to prevent a public scandal on that occasion, as Stephenson And his Kokomo friend appeared and could not be denied. The statement of Senator Watson is that he never saw Stephenson but once. The men who sat at that table in South Bend' will find it difficult to accept his other statements when they remember this occasion. If there be those who have any difficulty in deciding what flag they will adopt on Tuesday, they need but look about them in this city and gauge the character of support. Is there any doubt as to what ticket every bootlegger, every law violator, every man who wants protection of the reigning political machine will vote? Does any one believe that the solid vote of the underworld and its allies will not be with the Coffin machine? Is it not common knowledge that the one hope In this county is in the fraudulent count of votes, which in the past elections? Is there not a general and universal acceptance of the fact that to be elected id this county, one must hurdle the election jugglery which' has been common? Last spring men went, humbly and supplicatingly, to th€ boss of this county, and asked that the voteß cast for them be counted. That was the low level to which representative government had sunk in this city. Is there any one who believes that there will be a vote cast by those who want protection in crime, in liquor violations in other forms of protected vice, for the opponents of Arthur Rpbinson and Senator Watson ? And now the appeal ip going out to honest men and women, who want decency, who abhor corruption and graft, who detest the misgovernraent that comes from bossism, to link their votes to those which will be cast in wards where fear of law is held over men and women and where ballots are cast as a hope ot being able to continue in vice and crime for profit. It Is not a fight between the Republican party, because that party has been stolen, outright, by those who have betrayed its'policies and its purposes and Its fine ideals, and the Democratic party. The battle fs between a redeemed Indiana and a continuation of the sodden conditions which have made the name of Indiana a byword in the Nation. The choice Is easy and plain.

SAVE WILL REMY Good citizens, let it be hoped, will not permit one man on the Republican ticket to be sacrificed to the machine which hates him and which rules the party of which he is a candidate. Prosecutor Will Remy took his political life In his hands when he dared to make the investigation by the grand jury of graft and corruption, no Idle thing, no perfunctory glance, no daubing of whitewash. The Coffin machine hates Remy. He interferes with its plans, as honest men always interfere with the plans of political machines which depend, basically, upon favors to the underworld for their votes. The machine Bias shown its dislike for him. It has tried to hamper his administration of justice. The police force has refused to aid him. They withdrew his Investigators. He has had no aid from the city hall in his prosecution of crime and vice. Yet he has battled oh, in the face of obstacles which would have dismayed a less honest man. He defeated tlie machine in the spring when the good people of this city drew a line beyond which they dared the Coffin machine to go. That machine is out for revenge; more bloodthirsty now than ever, since he has made his determined effort to unearth any evidence of graft and corruption. What would have happened had there been a tool of the machine in office when this grand Jury was ordered to probe the Stephenson charge of graft? The answer, of course, is that there would have been no real inquiry had he acted as other beneficiaries of the Coffin machine have acted. And it is because Remy has defied the machine that there will be no hesitation on the part of the organization to knife him at the polls next Tuesday. It will be a lot easier to protect those who vote right if Will Remy is out of the way—and that Is-no slur upon his opponent The defeat of Remy would be a standing example to honest men of what a political machine on do to a man who prefers to obey his oath of office to obedience to a boss. You may be very sure that you will not be voting in the company of the Coffin machine, which is not Republican, but something else, If you vote for Remy. And it may be well to remember that the cause of good government will suffer much if he Is allowed to be penalized for his defiance of the political bosses and his courageous stand for decency.

THE FIVE-DAY WEEK By N. D. Cochran

The National Manufacturers’ Association Is opposed to the five-day week, just as It was opposed to the eight-hour day. Its president, John E, Edgerton, makes the following argument: “ ‘Six days shalt thou labor and do all they work.’ So reads the fifth of the great commandments, and for sixty centuries it has been accepted a the divinely prescribed standard of economic effort. It Is the perfectly fixed basis of human achievement yid social contentment. It has served America admirably In building the greatest political, social and economic system known to history. And all through'the Great Book the importance and sacredness of work are emphaszed as life's first and continuous obligation.” President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, looks at the five-day week from a different viewpoint. He says: “Industries are revolutionizing their whole procedure with greater productivity per worker because of higher, and higher Industrial efficiency. . . . As the worker’s productivity Increases his wages, first of all, must Increase In production, in order that they may help absorb the Increased output. There must also be a progressive reduction of the hours of labor so that men and women may have time to rebuild exhausted physical energies. With these two safeguards, the physical resistance of the workers can be conserved and the foundation laid fcr the higher development of spiritual and Intellectual powers. “As their leisure time increases men and women develop more numerous and discriminating wants. They buy more of the world’s goods and therefore purchasing power is increased.” If these two men represent the respective views of their organizations, then the American Federation of Labor is looking forward and iht> National Manufacturers’ Association is looking backward—yes, sixty centuries backward when there were no factories and the people were tilling the soil and minding their flocks and herds. President Green is dealing with today, when mflliops of men, women and children work Indoors all day long—many of them doing no more creative work than putting nut after nut in its particular place on a piece of machinery. But the amazing thing about the manufacturer's argument is that he tries to place all of the responsibility on God and makes rules governing human effort have all the sanctity of a divine command even though they were laid down six thousand years ago. Singularly enough. Judge Gary of the gteel Trust is as reactionary as President Edgerton. Among other arguments he advances is this one: “The commandment says, ‘Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work.| The reason it didn’t say seven days Is that the seventh day is a day of rest and that’s enough." Only a sow short years ago Judge Gary was tremendously offended when the Federal Council of Churches made a survey of the steel Industry and protested against Judge Gary’s policy of working the men twelve hours a day and seven days a week. He didn’t say anything about that commandment thefi. He didn’t quote God as an authority in whom the steel industry had Implicit confidence. He and his associate captains of industry pimply cut down their contributions to the Federal Council of Churches. But nowl, in a sudden and surprising fit of piety. Judge Gary goes back sixty centuries for divine guidance. Fortunately neither Gary nor Edgerton represents a unanimous opinion of American capital. There are among employers in this country some who have vision and who are looking forward, not backward. Henry Ford Is one of them. His argument on the five-day week is'not materially different from that of President Green. And he is piactlcing what he preaches. It will be interesting to see whether the Garys and Edgertons can enlist the churches on their side in this fight for a shorter week, by assuming that God is on their side. Only a generation ago a Pennsylvania coal operator by ‘the name of Baer shocked the country by announcing that he and his fellow-operators were the chosen of God and ruled by divine right. The trouble with him was he didn’t get away with it. Gary Wid Edgerton must put up ti better argument tharj tkier did if they want to build up public sentl ment aValnst the five-day week.

Tracy Birthday of Fascism Finds Mussolini Even Stronger. x

By M. E. Tracy Four years of Fascism finds Mussolini riding the Btorm stronger than ever. "Italy has been • reborn," he shouts, in celebration, of the achievement, and to a measurable extent it has Mussolini is one of the big facts thus far emerged from the war. Soviet Russia is another. At present, the world's horizon reveals no leader of men to outrank the Italian duce and no political Innovation so startling os that of Bolshevism. It was not for a red flag at Moscow, or a dictator 1 at Rome, that 10,000,000 men died in the trenches, but that is what shows up most distinctly against the crimson background. So far as immediate results were concerned, civilization mad* a bad guess as to what it was fighting about, and eight years after the last shot was fy-ed it is unable to do much better. Fifty years hence our children may understand the import of Russia’s revolution, and whether Mussolini Is a monster, or a genius, but' our own eyes are too blind with prejudice and disappointment for us to pass on either question with In telligence. Mussolini has certainly wrought a big change in Italy. He found a nation not only asleep, but troubled with nightmares, and roused it into wakeful. If coerced, accord. His arbitrary, deepotlo rule violates every standard we Americans have been taught to respect, but one may well doubt whether American standards could have been applied in Italy. Mussolini 1* a much feared and bated man. The power by which he holds sway is not that of popularity as we understand it, but Is derived from a highly organized minority. He looks upon himself as a man of destiny and believes his way Is right. According to. our ideas the situation is much like that of Diaz in Mexico, -with prosperity guaranteed by ore man’s domination for a given length of time, but with a terrific upheaval as the Inevitable result. + -I- -IChanges If your years can alter the circumstances and outlook of a nation as completely as they have In Italy, how much more completely can they alter those of a mere human being? The child who prayed at mother’s knee four years ago now goes to bed unklssed: the happy couple that you knew aie now divorced; the man who sold you cigars from a cheap, little stand has grown rich, while the big store a block away has failed. + + + Unconventional Romance It was four years ago that Mrs. Eleanor Mills had a romance that brought loveltght to here eyes, a romance that was wrong according to the conventions of society, but that must have been all-important to her. Then came murder out of the darkness, with such violence as you and I do not care to think about in connection with a woman; and scandal, also, to set a peaceful community by the ears, and such lying as to outrage an entire State. Thursday night; they opened the unmarked grave of Mrs Mills, for a second time, uncertain that It was the right one until they found the nameplate on the coffin. For a third time doctors have peered at and probed her poor, mutilated body to see if bv chance some horrifying detail had been overlooked. Such can be the end of unconventional romance. -I- -!• -!- Too Little Restraint It is surprising what risks people will take to satisfy their impulses and what things they will do. Crossed in something that would seem trivial under ordinary circumstances. they leaped from high windows, or threw themselves In front of a train. Thwarted lri some pet notion, and they fly at each other wit.h the conscienceless passion of wild beasts. Murder, suicide and even lesser tragedies are mainly due to uncontrolled emotionalism. The present crime wave can be traced to a multiplicity of causes, but not the least important among them is lack of self-discipline and this. In turn, can be traced to lack of discipline for children. You don’t have to be a brute to make children orderly, courteous and well behaved, and you won’t Inherit their dislike either, but we have preached the Idea of freedom from restraint until teachers, parents and everyone else responsible for the conduct of children are a d tually afraid to do what they know is right and best. Realizing the lmpracticality of such an idea, but unwilling to admit that our noisy arguments in Its behalf are wrong, we fry to remedy the situation by a lot of nonsensical laws. The normal, well regulated home and school have given place to the abnormal, superior regulated city and State and our social machine is throwing off a multitude of un trained, unadaptable, don’t-care-a-whoop emotional youngsters that our political machine can’t' hope, and never was Intended to make over.

You may be the means of sending some deserving young man or young woman off on a career. • • • I.OOKING OVER NEW EVENTS AT PA (.ACE The question of putting ‘novelty Into a program of a jazz orchestra is difficult one. That I know. I bear that in mind when telling you of such orchestras. Gordon Kibbler has a good straight playing or- ; chestra, but he makes a mistake in letting his men attempt t be individual and collective comedians. One impression number about “Margie” is enough and two along the same line is far and away too .much. Kibbler knows how to develop melody. Better handling of lights and a more intimate touch to his own work would help Kibbler's offering. He has a good band, but he needs showmanship. And that he can get if he will just study and take a few kindly suggestions. Plator and Natlie are dancers who seek novelty In a dance program. The man admits he can not sing, but he attempts it as a comedy number. They are at their best in a burlesque upon dancing couples of the stage. Chuck Haas applies his own personality to the Will Rogers’ idea of entertainment. Kiku and Joshl are Jap entertainers -who do the con-' ventional act of this nature in a sort of different way. Winchester and Ross offer noisy alleged comedy In a noisy way. The movie Is "Woman Power” with Ralph Graves. At the Palace today and Saturday. (Reviewed by Walter D. Hickman.) ’ -b ‘l* 4’ Indianapolis theaters today offer: The Lookfords at Keith’s; Gordon Kibbler and orchestra at Palace; "Pirate Treasure" at the Lyric; "Paradise" at the Circle; "The Lily" at the Colonial; “So’s Your Old Man" at the Apollo; “Stella Danas” at the Ohio; “Into Her Kingdom” at the Uptown; “The Man From the West” at the Isis, and "Hollywood Scandals” at the Mutual.
