STILL TIME Surely the honest and decent Republicans in the State Legislature will not dare to return to their homes and tell their neighbors and friends that the interests of the Republican party demanded that they refuse to investigate charges of corruption and fraud lodged against Republican officials. That is the situation as it stands. It is an unfortunate situation, for the great rank and file of Republican voters stand with Abraham Lincoln for honesty and decency. But the organization of the Republican party, in a party caucu, voted to refuse to investigate the charges made against the men the Republicans had placed in office. Those charges, many of them certainly and perhaps all of them, may have been untrue. But the fact that these officials have not de manded a vindication has aroused grave doubts and suspicions. They have acted as guilty men act. They have acted as men who are afraid would act. They have pleaded for inaction and silence, where honest men would have demanded and pleaded for the open in quiry. What were these charges which it took a party caucus to suppress? That the Governor of this State had named, because of utility contributions in his campaign, members of the public service commission -who were sold in advance to the desires of the utilities. That a grand jury in Marion County had as its legal advisors men W'ho were paid SII,OOO from the Governor's fund and that this grand jury had invited suspicion of its own report by its own declaration that unusual conditions prevailed within its organization. That Stephenson, who two years ago was bossing this Legislature and who now is in a felon’s cell, condemned to spend his remaining days in a cell because of the brutal murder of a girl, had in desperation charged that he could produce evidence, in documents, of corruption. That every official influence was used to sup press his evidence, that an attorney general of the State had charged that this convict, once the boss of the machine which put most of the State officials intopporer,w r er, was attempting blackmail. That the “red trail of graft and corruption” had run across the State House yards and into that building and that grand juries had been used by politicians to oppress and frighten honest men. If these charges he false, why refuse to inquire? If they be true, why should honest men in the Legislature turn their consciences over to the tender custodianship of a Clyde Walb and vote, as partisans to suppress and to hide? Somewhere and at some time, guilty men are disclosed.

Somewhere and sometime men innocently charged with crime are vindicated and exonerated. Why should a party caucus suppress inquiry unless it fears that inquiry will disclose crime?

SCORE ONE One bit of good news comes from the Legislature. The people will still continue to nu.ka their own nominations for Governor, United States Senators and other State officials. The effort of the Republican machine to destroy the primary and permit the bosses to name then- selections for office without a chance of contest has apparently failed. The members of the Legislature refused to listen to the State-wide missionary canvas made b> che Republican machine and killed the measure which had the''support of the State organization which provided for conventions to name all State officers. The only argument that could possibly be advanced with any reason, for the elimination of the ! primary is in the results which have occurred in this ; State in recent years. Viewed from that standpoint,, there may have been some reason for abolishing the primary, but t about the same reason would suggest that elections • also be abolished and Ihat. Indiana hunt for some Mussolini to direct its affairs. There may be even those who look at the State House and the two Senators which Indiana furnishes to the nation and declare that self-government itself is a failure. , They could be excused for holding that belief. But the trouble is not the primary and its workings, but a vastly different reason. If the source of the present Senators and State untrammeled judgment of the voter or the machinery officials be discovered, it will not be found in the of the primary, but in the fact that some very sordid and very venal forces moved In and took charge of the primaries and the elections when the people were asleep. If the present officials be bad, if they are the products of unholy bargains made with very selfish forces, then be it remembered that the same or ganization which sought the destruction of the primary made those bargains and secured ratification at the polls by methods more than questionable. Indiana has reached a low- estate in its standard of government. It has no pride in its National representatives. The Nation does not look upon them with honor or with any considerable respect. - But to blame them upon the primary is more than illogical. They are the products of organized misrepresentation and alliances with forces which ■ furnish unlimited funds to overthrow the real judgment of the majority. The primary stands as the one weapon of wresting power away from the forces which now control government. The members of the Legislature were wise enough to know that the people' would resent any j effort to take away their power and provide for ! the pgrpetuai guardianship of the TValbs and the ; Watsons and the Coffins of polities. i WHAT IS AN EDUCATION ? A certain national magazine the other day complained that our universities and colleges must be falling down on the job. since they teach students ' so many things that will not help them to make a ! living after they graduate. ! This plaint is old and somewhat stereotyped. It can be summed up as follows: Don’t load stu-

tlents up with a lot of useless classics; teach them now to better their material condition; give them training that will enable them to make SIO,OOO a year where their fathers made $3,000; train them for business, for industry; make solid, prosperous citizens out of them and forget all unnecessary “frills.” This attitude represents the feelings of a considerable proportion of our citizens. Schools giving technical training undoubtedly are highly important. These range all the way from the post graduate schools of medicine and law to agricultural colleges and business schools. They include training in business administration, banking, salesmanship, industrial chemistry and so on: and they do a vast deal of good. This much admitted, however, the question remains: should we make this kind of training ttic most important part of education? Why? Is it that we, as a nation, can comprehend and appreciate only those things which really are convertible into dollars and cents? A true, education, according to the older school of thought, has very little to do with the realities of business and industrial struggle. its chief aim is to equip the young man's mind so that he will see business and industry in their proper perspective; so that he will be able to get from life a meaning and a richness totally apart from money; so that he will bs able to provide his own values for the world and its rewards, instead of accepting unquestioningly the values his fellows place on them. It Is for this that our universities teach Homer and Virgil and Horace. It is for this that Dante Is studied, and Petrarch, and Shakespeare and Marlowe and Keats and Whitman. It is for this that students study the philosophies of Plato and Spinoza and Kant It is for this that they delve in the history of ancient Rome, trace the courses of the distant stars and study such things as geology and psychology. These studies perhaps do little to help the average graduate gather wealth. But they do immeasurably increase the young man’s capacity for living a life full of beauty and meaning. Which, perhaps, may be slightly more important.

IS THIS TREE l A State Senator tells business men that the J present, State administration and government is owned and controlled by the public utilities. The charge is lifted above partisan suspicion by the fact that the Senator belongs to the party in power. At the same meeting the former legal adviser J of this city declares that this city is controlled by ! the bosses through frauds at the ballot boxes and j the manipulation -of results in thirty or forty pre- I ducts where his henchmen are unlimited in their I activities. The dismaying fact about.this incident is that the same business men did not become so indignant and aroused as to force them to march openly and take possession of their government. Possibly they do not believe these charges. But it is difficult to understand why any one would even doubt them. The proof of the utilities control is found in the Legislature and the silence of the Governor at a time when the people are demanding some voice to sound their grievances. It is found in the quick shifting of members of the utility commission when important questions are involved. Tt is found written iu figures upon the bills for j light and telephones and water and gas. It is stamped into every street railway token I and ticket. The control of this city by bossed machine through election frauds is so old a story .that perhaps the business men who listen to it yawned and recognized it as old stuff. The true name for election frauds was given by Senator Reed when he declared that corruption of the ballot or frauds in elections are treason. But we treat our traitors differently now than in the early days when they .betrayed the forces of democracy by surrendering armies and giving aid to the eiiemy in the open. How long will the people remain complacent and content in the face of such a situation? The sense of self-preservation ought to warn the utilities of this State that they are riding into the danger zone. They ought, for their own sake, to be a trifle lenient at least and not so brazenly flaunt their power that it is impossible to rid the State of a commission in which the people have lost all confidence and which stands convicted by circumstances and the verdicts it has rendered. The boss ought to be a trifle cautious, too, in these days when the people are beginning to understand that they pay in dollars for machine government and in a surrender of their citizenship to the compact and corrupt machine. Do you believe that the State Senator was slandering the State ddministration when he said that it is owned by the privileged utility companies? Do you believe that Alvah Rucker is right when he declares that the government of this State is based upon frauds in primaries and in elections? If you believe such conditions exist, what are you going to do about it? The Legislature is sfill in session. With all that publicity Charlie Chaplin ought to be a success in the movies. t Emancipation is what a lady asks for when she wants alimony. Headlines you never see: NEW ENGLAND MANUFACTURERS SEND WRIST WATCHES TO M’NARY AND HAUGEN. The spirit is willing—but deliver us from the man who has gene in for both radio and golf. Today's etiquet lesson: Don’t say "No/’ say “Yes, with reservations.” A New York legislator would taxvall visitors to New York 25 cents a day, to be added to hotel bills. As if the lily were black!

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Listening to Weatfter Bureau Pays Despite Old Saying,

By M. E. Tracy This has been a week of disaster, with unusually thick fog in London and New York, cyclones in Louisiana and on the Pacific and unprecedented rainfalls in southern California and earthquakes in Herzegovina. The prevailing idea is to regard such things.as mere coincidence, but science demands an explanation. We have learned something about weather in a small way, but its larger aspects still puzzle us. No doubt, movements of the earth and the influence of sun, moon and stars would tell us a big story if we could read them correctly. The old saying is “He that watcheth the clouds shall not reap,” but more than one parden patch has been saved by listening to the weather bureau. Farm Relief Will President Coolidge veto the McNary-Haugen bill? Democrats hope he will, while western Republicans hope he won't. It is a case of standing convictions, or being guided by political expediency. As for the farmers, they do not know whether the bill will bring the relief expected of it, but they are •s\ire that something ought to be done and that measures should not be killed simply on the ground that they are experimental. Liberal Views Out of 110 members of the senior class at Columbia University who answered a questionnaire, 76 said they do “neck,” 84 said they “would neck.” SO believed that girls should smoke and 72 admitted drinking. Higher education is certainly developing liberal views with regard to love, tobacco and liquor. Morals and Monkeys Meanwhile, legislatures from Maine to California are gravely considering anti-evolution bills. In the minds of some folks, petting, smoking and drinking are connected with tho belief that man is related to monkeys. By a similar hunch, these folks assume that a literal reading of Genesis would correct all the silliness to which the age is falling heir, You oan’t stop jazz by putting a muzzle on science, or spooning by the repression of ideas. No matter what happpens narrowness and intolerance remain the silliest remedies known to man. Awakening Invention and discovery are caus- j ing the whole world to speculate. | Some of the speculating is sheer! nonsense, but by and large, It repre-! sents a healthy awakement. Tradition is going the way of the i ox cart. Even China is feeling the dawn of j anew day, in spite of all her revolu- j tion and anti-foreign sentiment. For forty centuries it has been a practice in China for friendly families to betroth their sons and daughters even before a birth. A case is now penc'ing in the Pekin court to see if such betrothals arc legal in the light of modern justice. Fickle Texas The Texas Senate has deckled that j James E. Ferguson is not fit to hold j office, even though the last Legisla- j ture freed him from that disability. ! Ten years ago he was impeached and deprived of his right to hold office in that State. Two years ago his wife rode in as Governor on an anti-Klan wave. Through her influence and a popular reaction in his favor, the Legislature passed what was called the "amnesty bill” by which he was restored to the full privileges of citizenship. His wife’s administration, for which he was commonly held responsible, was so unfortunate as to have led to a revulsion of public opinion, and if the House concurs with the Senate, Ferguson will be right back where he was wlftn impeached. Whatever may be said of him, Texas has certainly show r n a surprising degree of fickleness.

Art and Vice Where does art end and vice begin? “Evil to him who evil thinks” is an old and much abused platitude, but it gets nowhere. One would have more faith in the highbrow arguments for leg shows and racy magazines if they didn’t run wholly to nude women. The moguls attained a degree of artistry which we would find it hard to equal in sculpture and decoration, though they barred the human figure. The British government spent ten years and as many hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling trying to find artists who would repair some of the damaged dadoes in the great palace at Delhi, but the result was so unsatisfactory that the blotched work was ultimately hidden behind a coat of plaster. True art requires skill not to say genius, and there isn’t much of either in some of the things that are being touted in the name of art. llow did the abbreviation “lb” originate? It comes from the Latin word “Libra,” meaning pound. What are Germany’s present boundaries? Germany is bounded on the north by the North Sea. Denmark and the Baltic Sea; on the east by Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria; on the south by Czechoslovakia, Austria and Switzerland: on the west by France, Luxenburg, Belgium. Holland and the North Sea. Has it become proper to serve tea, coffee, etc., in cups without saucers? Ves, for lap suppers, if sandwiches and coffee are served on the same plate; but saucers should be used at table. Bridge sets consist of a large, irregular shaped plate with one eor- ' ner for a cup. No saucer is provided.

The Spirit of Truth of the Fireside Expressed in the Life of Roland Hayes

By Walter D. Hickman The teachings of the fireside ga\c this nation Abraham Lincoln. And the spirit of truth as expressed around the fireside of his mother in Georgia has given the world Roland Hayes, tenor. I visited Rciland Hayes yesterday for the single purpose of asking him: “What does the Negro Spiritual mean to you?” As I saw the man leave the piano where he had been practicing for hours, it seemed to me that It was really unnecessary to ask the question. - His life, his thought and his great purpose of life is to spread the beauty of the truth which is the basis of the spiritual. It is difficult for Hayes tq express in words just what the spiritual means to him because “the spiritual is the essence of life, the thing that makes life worth while, that really big thing which brings beauty, understanding faith into life.” The spirit of beauty as expressed in the spiritual through Roland Hayes is so strong that it has become the life work of this great Negro tenor

“Just to sing spirituals for entertainment, 1 would not,” he told me. "There are people on the variety stage who sing it that way and they lmvo it a thousand times on me. The spiritual is the very soul of life.” He felt this spirit when he as a youth rat before the fireplace of his mother's home in Georgia. He then began to feel the universal truth of his mother's teaching. "My fathers were often inarticulate as to words, but became beautiful in truth,” he said. ” I remember years back when wo took the grain to the grist mill and there it was ground into flour by a mill run by water. Then the machine came in and gave us finer flour, but It seemed to lack something. "And I a--kc(l my mother for the difference and she told me that nature (the use ot the mill run by water) was responsible.” He told me that he was 14 years old when he first felt tHe spirit of the message of truth. It was only in 1919 that the world at large was ready to accept his message. As I watched the sincerity of Roland Hayes, I felt the spirit that

Work Difference in Principle Between Contract and Auction Shown.

((11l response to numerous requests, Work is writing on Contract for several days instead ot Auction Bridge. During that time, his daily Auction Dridge I’ointrr will he omitted, but will b rr. siinird later.) By Milton C. Work. In future articlea the differ* counts and various bonuses will given so that the readers can tni their choice in determining how . ploy Contract: but before going In thore details it Is necessary to i plain more about tho variation i principle between Auction Brld and Contract. i As has been stated. In Conti a < only the amount of the bid I* scored in the trick column (below the lirri nevertheless, the taking of additional tricks is a most important factor because such surplus tricks are scored above the line, not at the uetual trick value, but at a much higher figure—usually 50 per trick. Asa result of this provision, a player, unless forced to do so, will not bid more than enough to make his game, unless he feels able to try for a Slam and the big Slam bonus. Should a player (having a need two-odd for came.’■and feel fldent of winning five-odd. he would hid up to five If necessary’ to secure the contract: but he would prefer to bid only two and be able to count his three extra trlrkr at 50 each. From a. love score he would not bid voluntarily above the three- four- or five odd needed for game; unless he felt able to bid six or aeven-odd for a Slam. In the. foreign game, fifty points are sometimes allowed for making rontraet; but in this country, while there are Home who play with tbe foreign allowance for the contract, it is unusual to find it included. In Contrart, just as in Bridge, a double doubles njl values: a redouble quadruples them. Being “vulnerable,” a part of Contract which will he explained Inter, produces more doubling.

Because tins spirit of truth is not confined to any race, I surrendered to the simple beauty and devotion of purpose of this man. “The essence of life, that's the ! spiritual,” lie said. “I want to rub off the scabs of error. I want to help all to see and understand the truth, the beauty of life.” And so this man goes on and on, secure in the heritage of his faith and his art. He speaks many languages. but regardless of the language of hts song the same message Is always present.” The greatest beauty, the power of faith and of the spirit—that Is what I found In Roland Hayes, clad In a brown business suit nnd brown pers in his room at a local hotel And because of that beauty, Ro ' land Hayes will sing Sunday afternoon at the Murat to an audience which will more than tax tha caps- | city of the theater, j Again Ona B.
