THE OBJECTIVES

The impeachment of Judge Dearth by the of Representatives will open the way of two real questions which should be definitely determined. The first is whether any judge may set aside the Bill of Rights by any act which is an assumption of unwarranted power. The trial before the Senate is one of the objectives which must be attained. The people have a right to know the facts in this case, the whole truth, in order that there may be restored confidence in courts and respect for courts. The truth or falsity of the charges made by the eitizens of Muncie must be established before jsome tribunal. The other purpose to be served is whether the Legislature has the power to remove a judge who misuses his powers of office. The attorney general has ruled in advance that the Legislature has no power to impeach a judge no matter what acts of tyranny he may have committed. He has said that the law passed by the Legislature thirty years ago and not definitely passed upon is worthless. He has taken the position that the only way Indiana can rid itself of an arrogant or tyrannical judge is after he has been convicted of corruption or some high crime. He has not as yet indicated where such a judge could be convicted or in what court he could be tried. He has not as yet indicated what steps would be necessary to bring a judge to trial if he continued to be tyrannical and oppressive and refused to take action against himself. Other lawyers say that such an opinion and view of the law is to make a mockery of the Constitution and to leave the people powerless and helpless, forced to endure and wait until the expiration of his term. These lawyers are quite as firm in their belief that the Legislature has the power to impeach as the House has impeached. It is unfortunate that these views come from these sources. It would be much better had the attorney general reached the conclusion that the power of impeachment exists in the Legislature and leave the validity of the law to such lawyers as might wish to protect a judge by a resort to technical objections to the law. But the situation is as it is. The question must be settled. And when it is over, the people will know, definitely and finally, whether the Bill of Rights is inviolate and whether they have, through their Legislature, a weapon against judicial tyranny. SEE THE GOVERNOR Governor Jackson is the last and final hope of those citizens who do not believe that the Legislature should protect bad government. Both houses have passed amendments to the citymanager law under which every mayor now in office is protected against the people's wishes and desires for the length of his elected term. The measure is the product of the political machines of Indianapolis and Evansville and might weH carry the title “A bill to prevent the people of Indianapolis from adopting the city manager form of government while Mayors Duvall and Males ace in office.” The political machines have been adroit and powerful enough to line up votes in both houses for this measure. Down in Evansville the people of that city, headed by a college president and backed by business, professional and civic leaders, have organized to secure an election for the city manager form of government. In this city, a committee of men representing the leadership of the city’s activities of every kind, industrial, business and professional is working on a similar plan. Both cities have learned to their cost the heavy burden placed upon them by a political government. There is little question but that the people would vote by tremendous majorities for this change to a business and non-political government, if given the chance to vote and their votes were counted. Only the political machines which run things for their own profit and advantage and,with no regard for the growth and prosperity of the city want this measure Governor Jackson can stop this infamy if he chooses. It is true that the men most interested in the welfare of this city because of their devotion to its interests haVe permitted the, politicians to get away with this thing while they were idle. They are busy men, engaged in useful work. They have had no time to stand over the legislators and keep them from the many forms of seduction in which the politicians are expert. But it is not too late. There is still time to march upon the Governor’s office and demand that he give the cities a chance to rule themselves. There is no injustice in the matter. When Duvall and Males were elected, they understood that the people could choose this form of government. That was the Jaw. They accepted office under the implied contract to permit this change. The Governor has often been invited to address civic organizations and churches. He has been accepted as chief of the State. A delegation which would inform him in plain language that it expected him to represent the solid

and respectable portions of the community in a crisis might get results. The Governor ought to desire the respect of those elements of society. He ought to prefer the society Os such men as the fifteen who protested in vigorous terms against the passage of this law to the company of the ward politicians who have been working for the law. Here is the time and,, the place to put up to him a very definite choice as to where he stands. But perhaps the men who have declared that the city should be ridden of boss rule, that Indianapolis should be free, do not really mean it. If they do, they will camp in the Governor’s office and deliver their message in unmistakable language. MR. INSULL’S RELUCTANCE What is it about that S4O, contributed by Samuel Insull of Chicago to the Illinois campaign, that inspires so sudden a reluctance to talk? Jail threatens, yet Mr. Insull says no, he will not say who got the money. Mr. Insull has already confessed to much bigger sums. He gave $125,000 to the Smith fund. He did not hesitate to tell that he had handed this money to the man who was at the head of the public service commission which was supposed to regulate Mr. Insull’s public service companies. He owns to contributions of a nonpartisan or bipartisan character. Wherever there was a political prospect, he financed it. But this $40,000 was in cash, not checks. It was handed out in his office. To whom, and for what? That’s where the confession stops. Mr. Insult's lawyer knows the United States Supreme Court has just handed down a unanimous decision upholding the Senate committee’s right to compel evidence by any method known to our judicial system. This means that the wealthy Mr. Insull may be sent to jail and kept there until he is willing to talk. . Curiosity is certainly whetted by Mr. Insull’s strange and sudden reluctance. It has been suggested that perhaps part of the $40,000 went to some of the powerful gangsters and gunmen who play so important a part in Chicago civic affairs and that Mr. Insull does ndt want to embarrass any definite wielder of the blackjack. It is more comfortable to be friends with people like that. There must be some reason why Insull is so squeamish about his small change. RATHER PERSISTENT The machine never quits. Whenever it meets rebuff, it merely waits its time and tries again. Therein is the difference between the tiosses and the leader of the people, who accept verdicts and quit. Take the case of the present corporation counsel of Indianapolis, Schuyler Haas, who is very dear to the political machine and who wants more money. He is the successor to Alvah Rucker, who was removed from the place very shortly after he\ brought suit against Mayor Duvall and other former .county treasurers for a return of Barrett law in-; terest. Haas is also the district chairman of the Re- j publican party and an important cog in the Republican State machine. That may be the reason why Indianapolis ought to pay him more money than it did to Rucker, who was ready to fight for public interest. Early in an appeal was made to the Legislature for'a raise of salary. The House of Representatives, after looking over the situation, decided that the demand was unjustified and that to grant It would be an imposition upon the taxpayers. Did that stop the machine? , There is another measure pending which has merit. fThe third assistant city attorney is paid a salary of $125 a month. The work is worth more if it is worth anything. It is proposed td pay S2OO a month, little enongh for the legal work he is compelled to do. Then the machine saw its chance. It tries again to get more money for the district chairman who holds the city job by amending this meritorious measure and thus threatening td prevent a merited act unless the House reversed its former decision. If the people were as persistent as the bosses, they could win. LANDING MARINES IN CHINA Saturday American marines will parade through the streets of Shanghai. This is ordered, 'so it is explained, to give the marines a chance to stretch their legs after their long period aboard ship. It is not intended as a ‘“show of force” to impress the Chinese, it is further explained. Every American with the best interests of his own country at heart, will hope there is no other purpose behind this parade than exercise for the young soldiers. Few can forget, however, the innocent face that was put on the first landing of marines in Nicaragua. It has been ten days since the House adopted the Porter resolution requesting the President to open negotiations with China for new treaties that will grant the Chinese complete control of their own tariffs. Since then both the Pekin and the Canton governments have formally declared their indorsement of the proposal. Our State Department, however, is holding off, apparently waiting until the Chinese get through fighting among themselves. This may mean a long wait and it may mean disaster to Americans in China in the meantime. Since the present tariff treaties with China are indefensible on any moral grounds, why should we stand on technical diplomatic difficulties in getting rid of them? A more useful parade, perhaps, than that scheduled for Saturday by the marines, would be a oneman procession by the United States diplomatic representative in Canton to the Cantonese foreign office and a similar one-man march by our representative in Pekin to the Pekin foreign office. Either that or an invitational parade to our State Department by the minister who represents both Chinese governments in Washington. The purpose, in either case, would be the announcement that the United States is prepared to open the desired negotiations for treaties that will treat China as a sovereign, independent country. We intend to do this eventually. Why not now? F:;\ V j. 'vv . ■

Tracy Logic Backs Memphis as Site for Aviation Center.

By M. E. Tracy MEMPHIS, Tenn.. March 4.—The Chamber of Commerce and Aero Club have united in a campaign to make Memphis a greater aviation' center. The idea appeals to local pride, of course; better than that, it has logic to back it up. Memphis is located right to become a focal point for several crisscross airways. She is in line with New Orleans and Chicago, with New York and the Southwest, with Atlanta and Kansas City. Flying Important It is a healthy sign to see such cities as Memphis taking an interest in aviation. We can not hope to get very far with it unless they do. Unlike other forms of transportation, flying can not be turned over to private enterprise. It is too intimately bound up with the national defense and employs too common a medium. There can never be private ownership of the air, and aircraft represent the most effective form of military power yet discovered. For these reasons, capital hesitates to venture as it would under dlifferent circumstances, and the task of developing aviation is left for the public. While the Federal Government must shoulder the greater burden, cities can do much to help, and the more they help in a general way, the more they will do to help themselves. The day is not *far off when an airport will be of as much advantage as a railroad terminal. For Public Control Like aviation, Muscle Shoals Is too intimately bound up with the national defense for private capital to operate in the most effective way. Whether used to produce electricity or fertilizer, it is essentially a public enterprise. Congress is gradually leaning toward this view. A subcommittee having the matter in charge has not only turned down two bids, but has suggested that the idea of Government operation be given serious consideration if acceptable bids cannot be obtained. Ford Started It Henry Ford is responsible for all the demand to lease or sell Muscle Shoals. His personality intrigued the popular mind. The uproar started with the notion of getting such a man as he t'o run the works. The talk of private operation as a matter of principle is just a hangover. Human enterprise, whether public or private, never becomes so great that the element of personality can be eliminated. Nations have been saved by faith Jn one man and they have been broken for no better reason than lack of a man in which to have faith. Just One Man Henry L. Doherty was reported critically ill on Thursday and Cities Service stock dropped ten points. As as matter of fact, he was not critically ill, but the unconfirmed report proved quite enough to shake a solid concern. The world still believes in genius, despite all its organizations and system. Personal Touch No government, much less a private business, has yet grown so strong that it can afford to discount the value of personal leadership. In spite of all our theorizing, we are still disposed to measure affairs by what we think of the man in charge. Our thoughts of what will happen in Italy are largely based on our opinion of Mussolini, and our judgment as to what will happen in Mexico is mainly formed on our estimate of Calles. Knowing Mexico Calles is a hard man for Americans to estimate. Very few of them have ever met him and reports of what he stands for and what he is like have not always been impartial. Phil Simms, the foreign correspondent for this paper, is now writing a series of interviews with Calles. Read them if you would know the man. Simms is not only experienced in such matters, but, better than that, he has the happy faculty of conveying ideas and impressions without coloring them to suit his own fancy. If he tells you Calles said such or such a thing, you can be sure that it is exactly what Calles said, and he won’t lead you off the right scent by throwing in a lot of his own guesses and surmises. Too many interviewers are so anxious for the reader to see and remember them that they constantly stand between him and the man they are supposed to have interviewed. Phil Simms is not that kind. He has the rare talent of effacing himself from the picture and of letting yqjj have an unobstructed view. Why are there different kinds of \ bees in a single colony? i The presence of different kinds of bees in a colony is explained by two theories. Dzierzon maintains that fertilized queens lay fertilized or unfertilized eggs at will, the former in queen cells and worker cells, the latter in drone cells. Dlckel contends. on the contrary, that by a variation in the food the workers can produce at will, queens, drones, or workers out of the larvae. Whether the offspring are to be male or female is said to depend upon the contact or absence of contact of the egg with the impregnating fluid received from the male and stored in a special sac communicating with the oviduct, unfertilized eggs producing the males. Zoologists make no explanation of the development of these eggs into males. This is merely the queen bee’s adaptation for reproduction. i

Beethoven to Be Honored This Month in Centennial Edition by Columbia

With the entire world prepared to honor the memory of Beethoven during the week of March 20, it is most proper that the Columbia Phonograph Company plans to issue during that week twenty-five new Beethoven Masterworks. Nearly all of the great concert artists, both vocal and instrumental, this month are including a group of Beethoven numbers on their programs. A representative of the Columbia Phonograph Company has called upon me and has given me the following stat-ment regarding Beethoven week: “For the Beethoven week the Columbia Phonograph Company is issuing twenty-live new Beethoven Masterworks, each completely recorded by artists of international reputation. The orchestra conductors include Felix Weingartner, Bruno Walter, Willem Mengelberg, Henry J. Wood, Thomas Beecham and George Henschel. The chamber music is recorded by the L<ener .String Quartet, the London String Quartet, Felix Salmond and W. H. Squire. The sonatas are played by such eminent soloists as Ignatz Friedman, W. H. Squire and William Murdoch. With this new collection of Beethoven Masterworks, our Centennial Edition will cover all the symphonies, the most important quartets and the most popular sonatas. “This, you will, readily see, is a great step forward in the history of the phonograph. So important is this step toward the broader understanding of the masterworks of music that this effort .of the Columbia Phonograph Company has met with the approval of a group of distinguished men and women who aie leaders in art, industry and civic life. “The national advisory body for Beethoven week, formed by the Columbia Phonograph Company, has as its chairman Mr. George Eastman of Rochester, N. Y., and includes nearly 150 college presidents, school officials, patrons of music, artists and leaders of public opinion. “First of all, the Columbia Phonograph Company has sent out at Its own expense specially qualified representatives to carry the message of Beethoven into the community. These men are organizing local programs and tributes to Beethoven, with the help of the schools, churches, phonograph societies, musical clubs and civic organizations. These groups will get together in a community expression honoring Beethoven. “Since the whole country is getAre You a Sport Fan?

ting back of this Beethoven week, the Columbia Phonograph Company is presenting at its own expense many features that will have novelty and human Interest. “First, there will be for the first time in musical history a Beethoven hour on the air, using the twentytwo stations of the National Broadcasting Company with its circuit of the following cities: “New York, Boston, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Davenport, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Atlanta. Schenectady, Portland, Worcester, Providence, Memphis, Louisville and Nashville. “This Beethoven hour will bring the story of Beethoven to about 5,000,000 people, and wilt be told by Walter Damrosch, the conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra, and an authority on the subject. Assisting him will be a string quartet and a vocal quartet. The announcer will oall attention to the Centennial Edition of Beethoven Masterworks and at the end of the program will tell the air public the.t anybody writing to the Columbia Phonograph Company can get the beautiful booklet giving the life story of Beethoven, without charge. “Another feature of importance is a Centennial essay or address written by Daniel Gregory Mason, professor of Music atN Columbia University, and this essay will be furnished free of charge for all gather-, ings during Beethoven week, whether in school, college or civic center. “Another interesting featuie will be a sermon on Beethoven furnished free to the churches of this country. This sermon has been prepared by a committee consisting of Cardinal Hayes, Bishop Manning, Dr. Cadman and Dr. Wise. “The American composer, Howard Hanson, is composing especially for Beethoven week an orchestral work which will be performed throughout the country. “The Columbia Phonograph Company Is preparing material for a short address on the life of Beethoven, to be furnished free to mayors and other city officials and all civic bodies which will join In this tribute to Beethoven during Beethoven Week, March 20-26,” he said. Indianapolis will have its own Beethoven week committee which will be named soon. In all fairness to the other makes of phonograph records, I will libt soon many of the Beethoven releases of Brunswick, Edison, Victor and other companies. LOOKING OVER NEW EVENTS AT THE PALACE Satirical burlesque comedy with all the trimmings that a good comedian can add to it is the feature of the Palace offering for the last half of this week. Ray Shannon is the man with the high tension comedy line that brings out the chuckles and laughs. As the property man In a vaudeville theater he Is a scream. We won't vouch for the accuracy of his impressions but he does get the fun out of the situations and lines he creates. With Shannon are four women who do several specialty numbers as parts of the act. The dancing and singing as done by these women are of a pleasing nature, but the big thing is Shannon's comedy; he has plenty of it. , Kesslar and Morgan are a wellbalanced man and woman team who offer comedy and dancing with several songs and a violin solo by the woman, i This couple are probably at their best when dancing, although the woman knows how to sing a song and play the violin in an entertaining way. , Miss Primrose Seman is a comedienne with flaming auburn hair and a personality just as Inflammable. She puts a lot of personality into her songs and introduces us to the masculing member of the act, who appears late in the act. To Miss Seman goes the credit for the work done in this number. M. E. G. Lime Trio are three men 'with & novelty gymnastic offering. Sam Robbia's Baltimoreans is an or-

chestra act with the usual amount of popular music in it’s program. •Bertha The Sewing Machine Girl," is the title of the feature photoplay attraction for the last half. Bill includes a news reel and oomedy feature. At the Palace today and tomorrow. Other theaters today offer: Eddie Leonard, at Keith's; Jane Dillan, at the Lyric; "The Adding Machine,” at the Playhouse; “The Show,” at the Ohio; “Collegiate,” at the Isis; new show at the Rita; new show at the Uptown; "Tell It to the Marines,” at the Apollo; "The Winning of Barbara Worth,” at the Circle, and burlesque at the Mutual. DESA BYRD HAS .ANOTHER FINE PROGRAM It has been estimated that Dessa Byrd, concert organist at the Circle Theater, who broadcasts weekly over WFBM, has played over five thousand numbers in the two years she has been playing request radio programs. Miss Byrd broadcasts direct from the auditorium of the Circle theater every Friday night from 11 o’clock until after midnight, and her program is one of the most popular of its kind now being broadcast. Miss Byrd plays every type of music requested. However, it is not always possible for Mias Byrd to play the numbers requested the week they are received, as memory, while very retentive, does not Include all the melodies ever written. Her program tonight includes the following numbers played for the following persons: “Cherie,” for Miss Tkompsca, 1024 N. Alabama St. “Blue Skies,” for William J. Green, 1601 E. Michigan St. “Falling in Love,” for Paul Adam 423 N. Wallace St. “Tonight You Belong to Me,” for Mrs. John Henricks, Vincennes. "O Sole Nflo,” for E. E. Thompson, 912 N. Rural St.

Worlk,, Jack-10 Five-Card Suit May Be Bid on Side Tricks, •.,*

By Milton C. Work The Pointer for today Is: Jack-10 five-card suits may be bid initially If the hand contains three quick side tricks. In the article today we are considering the weakest suit that ever is specified as a sound original suitbid of one; Jack-10-x-x-x being the suit under consideration. Jack-9-x----x-x would not meet the requirements; Jack-10 and three others is sufficiently dangerous. One disadvantageous situation apt to result from the bid 'of a Jack-high suit turns up when the contract is obtained on the left of the bid and partner with King and one of the Jack-suit opens that suit. Such opening may be extremely expensive. On the other hand, with such a holding as: Sp: Jack-10-x-x-x Ht: Ace-King-x Di: Ace-Jack-x Cl: x-x the hand is distinctly too strong to pass; It might readily be the passing out of a game hand. It is not an attractive No Trump distribution and is more apt to be a Spade game and not a Trump game, thap to be a No game and not a Spade game. Therefore, with any such combination, a Jack-10 five card suit should be bid. With greater side strength, for example Sp: J-10-x-x-x Ht: Ace-King-Jack Dl: Ace-Queen-10 Cl: x-x, the same one Spade bid would be in order; and it also would be with greater length, for example Sp: J-10-x-x-x-x Ht: Ace-King-x Dl: Ace x Cl: x-x. In connection with the above It should be appreciated that no Bridge statement is made unequivocally (“always” and “never” being words which are not contained in a Bridge vocabulary); and that there readily may be hands which, by reason of their freakish length in the suit and unusual side strength, should be bid with less than Jack-10 at the top of the suit. But these hands turn up so very rarely—perhaps once In a decade—that to give them specific attention would be merely to confuse unnecessarily. Tomorrow the following hands will be discussed: 1. Sp: Ace-x-x Ht: Ace-x-x-x Dl: Queen-x-x Cl: x-x-x 2. Sp: Ace-King-x Ht: King-Jack-x Di: x-x-x-x Cl: x-x-x 3. Sp: Ace-x-x Ht: Klng-Queen-x Dl: x-x-x Cl: x-x-x-x. (Copyright John F*. Dille Cos.)
