THAT INVESTIGATION Rather strange that there should be need of any considerable delay or even discussion of the resolution now before the House demanding an investigation of certain charges against officials of the State. The people of this State have demanded an inquiry in the oppn, that will either disclose the guilt or furnish a vindication. The resolution is rather specific as to the scope of the inquiry and calls attention to incidents which have rankled and disturbed the public. No one would suggest, with any wisdom, that the Legislature start on any fishing expedition to discover evidence. No one would suggest, at least no one with any desire to help Indiana, that the Legislature resolve itself into a searching party to delve into mere rumors or private prejudices and private quarrels with officials. But there are some things which specific and definite concerning which there can be no debate. And on these matters there should be no divided vote on party lines as to they - necessity. That Investigation is not a partisan matter, it is one in which there should be no effort to either persecute or to shield. Neither party holds a monopoly of honesty and virtue. Neither party is without its vices and its betrayers. But these facts do stand out as certain and definite and should be cleared: Indictments were returned two years ago against members of the highway commission. They have not been tried. The members under indictment charge that the indictments were the work of political enemies in another State board. Such a situation, if true, is intolerable. If one board is falsely accusing other boards, it is unfit to function. If any board has been guilty, its membership ought not to be entrusted with the expenditure of millions of dollars a year. A legislative inquiry to discover whether the State is suffering and has suffered from political manipulations to again control of huge funds is imperative. That resolution calls attention to the recent probe by the Marion County grand jury into the charges of graft and corruption relayed from the prison cell of D. C. Stephenson. The State has an interest in that investigation since the people paid several thousands of dollars from the contingent fund of Governor Ed Jackson for the cryptic announcement by the jury itself that unusual conditions prevailed within that jury. That jury lasted for weeks. It was commonly rumored that four of the jurors wanted to return indictments. Three of the battery of prosecutors gave public statement* declaring that in their opinion the Jury should have returned indictments. Nothing has been done. The evidence was promptly impounded for the use of the present grand jury. That body has indicated no particular desire to reopen the inquiry. The people have a right to know what evidence was brought before that grand jury. The circumstances and the news reports were such as to arouse an unusual interest in its actions. Witnesses disappeared when wanted. There had been a very successful and maintained effort to prevent six State Senators from interviewing Stephen * :on in his cell. There had been public statements by witnesses later called before the grand jury that they had seen documents of the sort which the man who once boasted that he was “the law in Indiana,” admittedly its greatest political force, said that he could produce. These are not rumors nor he resay nor mere gossip. They are admitted facts from the records. Into these matters the Legislature has not only a right, but a duty to inquire. There is every reason why it should investigate and none why it should argue or endeavor to dismiss the whole matter as “politics.” There can be no politics about it. There can be no real reason why every legislator should not be as anxious to reassure the people of the State that the accusations are false, if they believe them io be ialsc. If they believe them to be true there is more reason why they should vote and vote unanimously for an inquiry into them. No one desires an excursion into the muck of "ossip. Every one demands a determined investigation into matters that have impressed the people of Indiana with a sense of at least doubt concerning their own institutions.

THE ABSENT VOTER Repeal of the so-called absent voter’s law, which has turned out to be anything else than what its title indicates, has been halt' accomplished. The Senate will undoubtedly agree. The law was designed for a good purpose, it developed that it furnished an easy path to frauds. If there were any way under which those who arc unable to be at home on election day because of imperative business could be allowed to ballot without throwing open the doors to wholesale frauds, no one would object. T here are certain trades and professions which require travel and those engaged*in them should be allowed to vote if possible. But the present law puts in the hands of corrupt machines the power to overturn the verdict of the majority and that power has been broadly used. It is rather ghastly to consider that county clerks have boasted that if given this power, their party will remain in power no matter what the people may wish or desire. In the last election the number of absent voters ballots in some districts reached a total that was in itself a scandal. I he truth Is that the Iaw r is not used .where the people own their own government. It is only where the political machine dominates that the numbers of these ballots mounts to a point that is more than suspicious. A glance at the cities w here these ballots formed * very large percentage of the total vote will disclose easily how the law has been used. Sometimes the rights of small groups must be

sacrificed to protect the whole citizenship. This happens to be one of those cases. A DANGEROUS PRINCIPLE The eternal conflict between various schools of medicine and healing has produced a rather dangerous precedent in the law which has passed one body of the Legislature.' Protection of the public from the fakir and the quack is, of course, necessary. The troub!; seems to be in being accurate to decide just where science ends and quackery begins. Quite naturally the adherents of the various schools believe fn all sincerity that theirs is the one and sure custodian of all knowledge upon the treatment of tlvj human body against disease and illness. Against this the other schools will present evidence that they, too, have helped to lighten the burdens and have accomplished results which are real and lasting. But into the present measure has coma something which has nothing to do with the constant and perhaps endless debate. This is the remedy under which any citizen may procure an injunction agaityst a member of the medical profession who has at some time failed to register with the board and debar him from continuing his practice until the courts have decided. Were there provisions for proper bonds in the event that the charge is ill founded, it might be acceptable. That would give some redress. But the old principle of law that all are innocent until adjudged guilty has been rather firmly fixed and is not to be discarded lightly. The unfit, of course, should not be allowed or permitted to exploit the uninformed and the ignorant and the helpless. But departure from fixed principles is a rather serious matter and not to be taken lightly or without very serious consideration. NO IDLERS NEED APPLY Yale University has adopted anew policy in its school of law. Hereafter only the best students will he admitted; enrollment will be restricted and standards will be raised. This reverses tha almost universal American custom of giving instruction to any one and every one indiscriminately. It sounds undemocratic and snobbish, at first. But maybe it is a good idea. There is too much idling and loafing in all of our universities. If this action will tend to reduce those evils, and impress on students the fact that universities are places for real work, it will be a most excellent thing. Or, maybe, it’s the Democrats he’s after. Headlines you never I see: HEFLIN SILENT AS FOES ABUSE HIM. Now they’re saying Gladstone was a Don Juan. We expect to hear next that Napoleon Bonaparte was a Gigolo. The Moros are fighting Uncle Sams tax collectors. Now that the income tax valentines are coming around, you can expect to hear from several Moros in this country. Chicago dentists say we should cat alfalfa. Do we have to eat it and smoke it, too? Washington has seven debutantes who neither smoke no drink, says a dispatch. Social talents certainly are waning in the capital.

THE ONE INTERNATIONAL RELIGION By N. D. Cochran 11

1 am beginning to think that what we need to promote international peace and prosperity isn’t so much a political league of nations as an international chain store system or a universal trust. Governments have been settling their differences of opinion for centuries by war because their kings, emperors, czars and things like that were darned fools and didn’t know any better. Many of our wars have been religious wars, to be sure, but differences of opinion as to the best way to get to heaven are only differences of opinion, after all. There is a religious truth somewhere, and we will have differences of opinion .until we find it. When we find the religious truth there will be one religion and gne church; and then we will quit killing one another in our frantic efforts to find it. There was a time when competition was so keen that bankers sneaked around trying to steal one another's depositors; and doctors, lawyers, grocers, butchers and .others actually believed that competition was the life of trade and the cut-throat game was the game to play. Now we hay-e organization all along the line. There are bar associations, medical associations, bank clearing houses, labor unions, retail merchants' associations and Lord knows what other organizations of special interests. 1 nearly forgot the realtors. They used to be real estate agents, but when they organized and named themselves they forced the wide, wide world to call them realtors. And the organized undertakers are morticians. Even our old friends, the barbers, are tonsorial artists. I suppose that in time all of us newspaper workers will be journalists. In the meantime, the politicians are still nothing but Republicans and Democrats; and all of them are messenger boys, doing what organized business tells them to do. While our so-called statesmen are holding back recognition of the Russian soviet government because we don't Jike the length of Russian whiskers, organized business is ready and willing to recognize anybody who has enough mon* to buy what it wants to sell. That's a funny thing ab4ut business men; they will sell to heathen Chinese, Russian communists, Italian Fasclstl, and to Mohammedans, Hindoos, Conl'ucians, Christians, Protestants, Catholics. Ku-Kluxers, Christian Scientists, Dowieites, Holy Rollers, Wets, Drys, Democrats, Republicans, Socialists, Negroes, Dunkards, Quakers and Jews. If there is an international leiigion, it appears to be tlie religion of commerce. Take even in our land of the free and liome of the brave; while some of us think we ought to t i criminate between men because of their religious L lief, all of us who have anyth'ng to soil don't see tii slightest difference between the dollats and of one kind o’t people and atiaUier. regaid’ess of i.t color, religion ~r nationality. Isn't Jiis ;< funny < try?

Tracy Human Mind Can Become Dangerous Pver Good. Ideas,

V,y M. E. Tracy A fanatic strangles a young girl i to death in Toledo because she reI fused to believe him the reincarnai tion of Jesus Christ. Most of us realize that the mind is u terriblo tiling when it runs amuck. | What many of us overlook is that ihc mind can run amuck over godd as well as bad ideas. I Asa matter of record, some of the | worst oases of fanaticism, whether i individual or collective, have orig- ! inatod in noble thoughts. I The witchcraft delusion grew out ! of religious zeal. .Mental Health We have learned that a balanced J diet makes for bodily health. Why j not apply the same principle to mental health? Thoughts are food for the mind, just as bread, meat and vegetables are food for the body. No article of food is so good that it can be eaten exclusively, or gormandized without risk. No idea is so pure or refined that men can become slaves to it with impunity. Don’t read in ruts, don’t think in ruts, don’t work in ruts. Keep an open mind not only for the reception of thoughts, but for their expulsion. No Legal Distilling Uncle Sam will not enter the distilling business even as a silent partner. .The bill providing for this as a method by which to keep medicinal whisky out of the bootleg trade has been killed. General Andrews, on whose shoulders falls the responsibility of enforcing the Vblstead act, and who probably knows more about the problem and its difficulties than any man in the country, is disappointed. It has always been his theory that if the Government permits the sale of liquor for one purpose, while forbidding it for another, it should take complete charge of the manufacture and distribution of the liquor as it allows to be sold. Fanatics and bootleggers think otherwise, and are still in the majority. / The result is that good liquor will continue to find its way into illegal trade, while bad liuqor is sold as medicine.

Real Power Issue Ts one reads the signs correctly, this Congress will peddle Muscle Shoals to some private concert and do nothing about the construction of Boulder dam. This has a profound bearing on that superpower hookup Herbert Hoover is forever talking about. Hoover favors development through private enterprise, because, as he says, he is an individualist. The trouble is that private enterprise has long since discarded individualism. Private enterprise has become a group affair, in which the individual cuts no figure. The real issue is whether we shall permit the Government to retain power with which to protect public interest, or turn the whole works over to big business. Political Rule Some day. and not a very far distant day, electric power will dominate the economic and industrial life of this country. Those who control it will be able to move cities and determine the future of great sections. Are we going to leave this to a. board of directors that Wall Street can handle? “No, Indeed,” you say. “There will be regulation such as is now imposed on the railroads that safeguard the public.” But would not ownership of a big power plant here and there represent a better and more effective basis of regulation than a Washington bureau which is subject to every political wind? Competition Helps There is nothing like a little competition to make people fair. Big business is doing its best to eliminate competition. Especially in the electrical field. That being so, wouldn't it be a good idea for the Government to provide and maintain some. Having Trouble The State Department announces that we wont have any trouble with the Nicaraguan rebels unless they start it. Meanwhile we have taken their capital, blockaded their ports and forbidden them to operate in certain territory. If they acquiesce in all this, well and good, but If they fuss and shooting occurs they will be held responsible. Secretary Kellogg was born in the wrong age. He would have been a star among the Greek sophists. England's Problem To a measurable extent, England faces the same kind of a situation in China that we do in Nicaragua. She has landed armed forces, is balking the Cantonese and the Cantonese are technically rebels. The Cantonese have asked England to withdraw as the preliminary step toward negotiating a treaty. It will be interesting to observe how England deals with such a request under such circumstances.

After All, Somebody Has to Save Her

A Comedy Liar Parades His Brand of Fairy Tales at the Playhouse Today

By Walter D. Hickman A play which was first moduced in Italy in May, 1750, could not be called modern. Such a comedy is “The Liar” which was presented last night by the Little Theatre at the Playhouse for the first time in this city. The play is interesting to those who study the development of the stage. The Little Theatre production demands Interest and consideration because of the stage sets and the costumes. 1 understand that the costume committee of the Little Theatre Society made the period costumes used in this production. At times the stage of the Playhouse in “The Liar” becomes a gallery of color and beautiful cos tumes. Here is a costume comedy and gives the society a chance to show how well it can make its own costumes and build its own period sets done in accord with modern stage methods. The street scene, especially in the first act, is one of real beauty. It really proves that the society is growing in its ability to build sets which compare favorably with those seen upon the legitimate stage. And this really is the value of the Little Theatre Society has it not only gives new acting talent a chance to appear in public but it actually teaches the building of stage sets and the methods used in production of plays. ‘‘The Liar,” written by Carlo Goldoni, actually changed the fashion of plays in his day. Os course the characters are all over drawn and interest centers more upon the stage sets than upon the Play. It naturally drags in spots and soi%B of the comedy situations are too over drawn *o get extravagant laughs from a modern audience. The cast of “The Liar” is as follows: Dr. Baianzoni. a Bolognese doctor, resident of Vince Arthur J. Beriault His Daughters— Rosaura Mrs. Kurt Pantzer Beatrice Pixiey Ranney Colombina, their maid Marian Seeds Ottavio, a fine gentleman of Padua, in love with Beatrice.... Merrill Esterline Flonndo, a medical student living in the doctor's house and a timid lover of Rosaura Arthur Rait&no Bnghella. liis confidant Arleigh Waltz Pantalone. a Vetetian merchant, lather to Harry Pihl Lclio. the liar Norman Green Arlecchino, Ids servant . .

Work Wrong Hand Lead May Be Great Advantage to Opponents,

By Milton <’. Work The pointer for today is; . Declarer's lead from the wrong hand may be of great advantage to the adversaries. "When the open Dummy was introduced into Whist, converting it first into Bridge and then into Auction Bridge, tints providing that one player (Declarer) should play hipartner's hand jiv well as his own. severe penalties were allowed when that player |e-| from the wrong hand was n< nalizecl by permitting an adversary to rail a suit from I Ikright hand. Later, the penalty wa a trick taken from the Declarer and' given to Ills adversaries; but it wafound that swell penalties were too severe, and during the early days ol Auction Bridge the only penalty for a lead from (lie wrong hand by Dr clarer was that the adversaries had the option of letting'it stand, or requiring that it be made from Ihc light hand. This was hardly a penalty at all and sometimes encouraged “mis takes” which were decidedly off-color. Unethical players would iPad from the wrong hand intentionally, know - ing that if the error escaped notice they would gain by it, and that if it was noticed and corrected they would be no worse off for the attempt. While such practices would be scorned by honorable players, nevertheless the Laws Committee deemed it advisable to render sii'-li attempts unpleasant for those who made them. The Code of April, 1926. provides that when a lead from the wrong hand is corrected, the De clarer must lead the same suit from the right hand if he have a. card of it. This makes an uncomfortable situation for a Declarer who has tried to “put over” a finesse without the formality of getting into the right hand for it, and blocks ruffs attempted by similar; illegal means In this connection it should be re memhered that if Declarer—with the lead in his own hand —touch cardy in Dummy (unless he say, “I arrange’ ), it is a lead from the wrong hand and he may be required to lead from his own hand a card of the suit he has touched. (Copyright, John F. Dille Cos.) Work, the international authority on Auction Bridge, will answer questions on the game for Times readers who write him through The Times, Inclosing a self-ad-dressed. stamped envelope.
