KNOW YOUR STATE Indiana trains her own school teachers by in* atuutions at Terre Haute and Muncie, The Terre Haute Normal has been operating since 1870 and the Muncie school since 1918. Approximately 3,600 men and women are enrolled in these institutions this year.

THE FINAL CONFESSION More desperate than ever, Clyde Walb insulta the attorney general of this State by attempting to deceive editors into the ideal that Arthur Gilliom tonight at Vincennes will reveal the secrets of the grand jury whose secrets he has sworn to protect. Walb has sent to every editor of the State who still dares to obey his commands the advance copies of the Gilliom speech. When Mr. Gilliom talks tonight he will say that a convict tried to blackmail his way to freedom. Look that statement over and weigh it carefully. For in it is the final proof of infamy. What power has a blackmailer? None, save when he possesses proof of guilty secrets. The blackmailer, of course, is Stephenson, and everyone knows that he made a gesture to' frighten men in power to give him freedom. How many other convicts in the State prison would even dare to suggest that he could fot*ce a pardon by betraying the inner workings of his political power when he was free? What other convict would even raise a ripple saying that he had documentary evidence of the corruption and" graft which he charged ? What other men would even think of driving from the State a business partner who has standing as a citizen, a member of a church, a respectable member of society? Mr. Gilliom says that Stephenson tried to blackmail his way to freedom. He is advertised as a man who knows all that the local grand jury has learned in his honest search under Prosecutor Bemy. How could Stephenson blackmail any one for freedom unless he held secrets which men in higL office and power fear may be revealed? Would he not be the least dangerous of all men unless he held such power over those in high places that he could frighffen them into giving him freedom? No one asks Mr. Gilliom to betray the secrets of the grand jury. The campaign organized by Clyde Walb has insulted him by trying to tell citizens of this State that he will reveal those secrets. And his speech tonight will say that Stephenson tried to blackmail his way to liberty. That ought to be convincing. No blackmailer ever got anywhere without fear on the part of those he blackmails of revelations which are true. That is the confession. That is the self‘advertised admission of Clyde Walb. At the close of the campaign they parade the attorney general of the State in an undesirable position and force him to admit that perhaps Stephenson has something which could force his way to liberty if he revealed it. That is the vindication of, Adams. The State owes something to Arthur Gilliom for this admission. PATRIOTISM, NOT POLITICS Very soon the first act of the great drama of the redemption of Indiana will see its curtain fall. It is too soon to expect that the audience will applaud and respond—and yet they may respond arid act. The Times, when the first challenge was made to good repute of Indiana, demanded that the cloud be removed from its reputation. Since then many things have happened—but The Times has held to its course and to its purpose. Indiana must be cleared from the 111 fame that has been put upon it by a vindication of those in power or it must send to the pentitentiary those who have betrayed and befouled Indiana. It Is not Burprising or unexpected that in the final act and in the closing scene honest men will rush to the rescue <yf one that The Times believes is unequipped to fight for Indiana. There comes, for instance Ralph Kane, the attorney for this newspaper when it needed legal defense against the mayor of this city who claims that he has been libelled. Ralph Kane represents the old order. He believes in Jim Watson. And there is a feeling of sympathy and pity when he must face his final disillusion. This newspaper printed, more prominently than any other newspaper in this city, the appeal of Kane to save his friend Jim Watson from the wave of indignation. Kane deserves that. This newspaper believes that he is mistaken. And the appeal of Rane is the final confession of Watsonism. He has known him for thirty years. He has watched the boy who put on wooden shoes to fool the Hollanders. He has flattered Kane as he has flattered many men, with his letters and his pretenses. The pitiful thing about it ail is that in this final act, Watson, the youthful evangelist, appeals to the friends of his boyhood to save him. It is still more pitiable that such men as Kane do not understand that the friend of their youth has changed, has betrayed their confidence, has sold them out year after year. The best argument for Jim Watson comes from Ralph Kane, intent in his hunt for fraud, eager to save his State, as zealous now as he was when he was. young to protect and save his' idol. He cries aloud that the witnesses who testified to the membership in the Kian of Watson are liars and defamers. Let's admit that he is right, that Watson was never a member of the Klan, that he never for a minute associated with the convict Stephenson. Then let us turn to facts. Stephenson, rat like in his cell, declared that he could produce documentary evidence of fraud and corruption. Attorney General Gilliom, tonight, will say he tried to blackmail his wayo to freedom. What if he did? Let’s look at Watson. When that challenge came Watson was silent. The Governor of this State tried his best to keen \

away from that prison cell any honest men who might have learned the facts. This newspaper then appealed to Watson to join in an appeal for a Federal investigation of the facts —and Watson was silent. It appealed to Robinson, the attorney for Stephenson in his milder matters, and there was no response. That should have appalled such friends as Ralph Kane, for whom The Times has great sympathy when he finds his great disillusion. / Those days of silence will not be forgotten. But let’s go back farther. INTO THE PAST Watson denies indignantly, that he is a member of that order through which a man now a convict, came to rule a State. Let’s accept his word. But back in 1923 and in 1924 a hideous cancer was eating at the heart of Indiana. Its doctrine of hate was everywhere. Its results were exactly and certainly to be predicted. The Times predicted what would happen. What did Watson do? Where then waa the statesmanship which Indiana deserves and needs? Did he ever, in those days, protest that his party was being raped by a Stephenson and seduced by a doctrine of hate, or did he try to estimate its power as he did when he sent Lew Shank on his futile effort to appraise its power? Watson then was silent. That he traded with Stephenson iif beyond dispute. That he sent men to office through the sole recommendation of the man who is now under life sentence_can be proved beyond dispute. Where was the statesman then, in those days when Indiana needed a clarion yvoiee te save It from its ignominy and its infamy. Watson was silent then. He is silent now. Even in his denials he says, apathetically, that he wants the votes of this hooded order and the invisible empire, as much as he wants the votes of those who I believe that the State deserves much better than a I rule by hate. Did James Eli Watson then convict himself of being a time server, a political trickster, a seeker for expediency or did he prove himself a statesman and a leader? , Tco bad thgt the heart of the Ralph Kanes, many of them, must break when they know the truth. THE OTHER PACTS Against the denial of Watson has been presented many facts which may lead many to suppose that peihapg this man who has always served the time, and the hour, did really lend himself to Stephensontsm. There is the pitiful letter of the woman leader of the Klan in this State who appeals to her lieutenants to carry on until the Watson campaign opens and then she will be able to supply the money for salaries and expenses. There is the sworn testimony of men who say tbaf Watson had in his possession a card that made him a citizen of the empire which gave to Stephenson his power. And there is the general and universal knowledge, so general and universal that any court would take judicial notice of that there was a bargain under which Watson was to deliver the Klan organization , in return for support of the Coffin machine of Arthur Robinson, We find him playing politics with the remnants of ' Stephensontsm and the legatees of that grand dragon, i Whatever else may be true, It is certainly true that Watson, the Idol of such men as Ralph Kane, ! finds himself reduced after thirty years of power into making bargains with city bosses, who are intent upon perpetuating the Arthur Robinsons of Indiana in power. We find him employing "poison squads." We find j him flooding the State with appeals for the support of the corrupt and the corruptible. We find him neglecting the Ralph Kanes of Republicanism In fa vor of the George Coffins. And that is Watson. The great tragedy of It is that such men as ( Kafie are still following false Idols, still believe in the man who betrayed them. Rather heartbreaking, isn't It?

TS THIS ECONOMY? Jupiter Fulminator has given the United States forest service a hard summer. “The lightning hurler" flung his bolts about Indiscriminately and Jupiter Pluvlus refused his assistance. Asa result forest fires did an excessively great amount of damage, especially on the west coast. This year there was less snowfall than usual, but heavier springs rains, causing abundant grasses and underbrush, which later dried- The summer had less rain than usual with high temperatures and wind and low humidity. Combined with these circumstances the unusually great number of electric storms was disastrous. The fire season started early and raged from the middle of June through August. Only the years 1910 and 1919 have had worse fires than 1920. In 1910 heavy winds amounting almost to a hurricane spread the flames. In 1919 the forest service, disorganized by the war, had to battle through an extraordinarily long season with untrained men. For the past ten years forest fires have been destroying an average of 15,827,331 acres yearly In the United States, most of this forest land. The average loss has been $20,944,910. When figures are tabulated for this year they will be far greater. Secretary Jardine blames lack of financial preparedness for a great part of the losses. “We need to have in advance enough men, money and facilities to prevent fires or to cope with 'them before they grow la ge,” lie says. “As it is now we are forced to spend large sums of money after the fires have got out of bounds and then ask Congress to make up the costs through a deficiency appropriation.“ Is this efficiency? Is it true economy? Headlines tflut tell the story: SKIPPER’S LAST OCEAN VOYAGE HIS WIFE’S FIRST. V - A wealthy alumnus gave his college 1,000 vol- , umes of humor.

Tracy Platitudes From Cal With Scandals in Three States,

By M. E. Tracy A campaign originating in monumental scandal peters out In trivial debate. The President’s final word is to praise prosperity and suggest that monopoly has become a benevolent institution. When the slush .funds and Klan rule were exposed, average people hoped at least tor a flush on the presidential cheek, but all they got was dollar platitudes. It requires little imagination to link the roKten politics of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois with the moral silence and commercial boost ing of the White House. The Vares, Grundys, rnsulls, Frank Smiths, Watsons, Robinson, Stephensons, Evanses and others would never dare play the part they have but for the fixed idea that nobody would “rock the boat." Senator Reed of Missouri says that "the Red 4lne of the circumference of the area of corruption runs across the grounds of the White House and passes through the heart of the Coolidge Administration." He speaks as a Democrat, of course, and from a partisan standpoint, but making due allowance for that, his charge comes uncomfortably close to the truth. •I- -I- -IOur True Value If you weigh 150 pounds you are worth about. 98 cents from a strictly material standpoint, according to Dr. Allan Craig of Chicago. Hungry cannibals might pay more, but the average drug store, or soap factory wouldn't. You contain enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop, enough Iron to make a ten penny nail, a little sugar and a bucket or two of water. It is something Invisible, intangible and on the Inside, that causes you to be rated as worth several thousand dollars by Insurance companies and more perhaps by your family and friends. The miracle of human life can not be explained on materialist In grounds, says Dr. Craig, and the person who can not visualize anything in life, except whnt he sees In a test tube or under a mlscroscope, is to be pitied. If just a grain of that philosophy, had seeped Into the Coolidge administration. Pennsylvania would not he electing Bose Vara for the Senate to unseat, and Illinois would not he thinking of Boss Brennan as the lesser of two evils. -I- I- + Future Movies Sponsored by the college of* American Burgeons, motion pictures will enter the field of medicine. Who can doubt that they will add much to the strength of this most beneficent of all the sciences? After thirty years of play, we are just beginning to realize thetr true value. Some day, they will > be rated as worth while not because of the entertainment they provide, but because they constitute a. superior medium of knowledge ad Information.

Some day, people will look on a screen and observe how their ancestors dressed, lived and did business a thousand years hack. Some day, much that is now recorded in books will be recorded on films. What would we not give to see a movie of Columbus embarking: of Caesar crossing the Rubicon, or crusaders on the march to Jerusalem? All this and more is in store for ! future generations) I- •[• •!• | Mussolini Again For nineteen centuries, the great ship on which Caligula, mad cm i peror of Rome, held high debauch, has lain submerged beneath the blue | waters of Lake Nemi. Livers have explored the craft on [ several occasions, bringing tip statuettes, ornaments, utensils and hits of the hull, and three attempts have been made to raise it. Now Mussolini propose* to drain the lake. , -J- -!• -I Lady Friend \r\ Mars A British psyohic claims to have heard from Mars. The Martians are from seven to eight feet tall, he says, smoke pipes, drive automobiles and have no strikes. , This Information was furnished, ho , declares, by n lady friend of the di-l rector of the largest wireless station .on Mars. Without intending to reflect on ; the gentleman's psyrhlc ability in any way. he should have gotten H. 1 (1. Wells to make up the story. * -|. -I- -|, ! A Woman on the Jury Senator Simpson, who Is handling the Hall-Mills case for the State of New Jersey ns special prosecutor, wants a woman on the Jury. "I think," he says, “a woman would he most likely to understand the workings of a woman’s mind, and t should like to have at' lenat one woman on the Jury which Is to try Mrs. Frances Stovens Hall and her two brothers.” There Is a. good deal of logic in the Idea when you come to think It over. The masculine and feminine mtnd work differently and the question of guilt op Innncenne might easily turn on an understanding of this difference, Women know vastly tnoi'e about, women than do men, and are better able to Judge of their reaction to a given set of otroimv stances,
