THE GOVERNOR CHOOSES The Times probably owes an apology to the large number of decent and honest citizens who followed his advice and appealed to the Governor to veto the measure which will keep Mayor Duvall in office to the end of his term. The Times should have known that no matter how many decent and useful citizens protested against this measure, that Jackson would finally obey the will of the bosses and do exactly what the professional politicians demanded. The only excuse for making the appeal was- that The Times had hoped that even Jackson would hesitate to stultify his office and advertise his servility to the machine, if the appeal for a veto was made emphatically enough. The appeal was emphatic. From this city \nd from Evansville the leaders of finance, business, industry, every movement for civic righteousness, every philanthropy, asked the Governor to veto this measure which perpetuates the administration of Duvall, which denies to the people of this city and of Evansville the right to adopt the city manager form of government until the two who confessed to traveling to Washington under sealed orders to discuss their appointments with a wizard have served their full terms. The Governor knew the purpose of this bill. He knew that the leadership of this city, its true leadership and the great masses of voters, want to rid the city of its burden of political government. The Governor was told by men who do not lie and who stand for decent things that this measure was a blow to decency, to good government to a better Indianapolis. But Jackson took his orders from the bosses. It may be unfair to say that he preferred to do so. Possibly he was compelled to because of other things. But he has definitely fixed his own place in this city and has definitely chosen his associates. He has told the business men, the decent citizens, the men and women who merely want a decent government for cities that he wants none of them and that .he is for those bosses who understand how to manipulate and scheme and plot for their own profit. By signing this measure, Governor Jackson tells the people of this city and of Evansville that they can not change to a city manager form until two more years. When Duvall and Males were elected, they knew that the people could change to this form of government if they so desired. The law sets aside part of the contract with the people and sets it aside at the demand of men who are certain that the people want to get rid of them. The issue was definite. On the one side were two political machines, little groups of men, not more than a half hundred in all. Oi the other were the thousands who had signed petitions for elections, headed by college presidents, bankers, manufacturers, merchants, leaders in every walk of life. And Jackson gave these bosses what they wanted. For the next two years, his reward might and should be association with the men who urged him to sign this measure and with no others. Then no one would ever be fooled in wasting time in asking for decent things from the Governor’s office. Busy men w-ould know that the man to ask was the boss, not the Governor. THE SAPIRO-EORD TRJAL> A Chicago lawyer named Aaron Sapiro will start trying Monday to take a million dollars away from Henry Ford. That is interesting even to people who are interested only in money. Most folk, however, will find the case absorbing for other reasons. It grows out of Ford’s campaign against the Jews in his magazine, the Dearborn Independent. Sapiro, who is nationally known as an organizer of farmers’ cooperative marketing associations, says he was accused in a series of twenty articles of being in league with “Jewish international bankers’’ to corner the country’s food supplies. The heat lightning of racial and religious prejudice is likely to play out of the Detroit courtroom. And when you stir up race and religion you stir most people. From this standpoint alone, only the Scopes trial could compare in interest "with this case. Another item is the presence of Senator J. A. Reed of Missouri, as chief counsel for Ford. Since he took the job he has become one of the best known of Americans, and a candidate for President. Hd may have anticipated neither eventuality when' he took the job. Will his entrance into this whirlpool of prejudice help or hurt him politically? Then, as indicated by Reed’s defense plans, the cooperative organizations through which millions of farmers are trying to lift themselves a little higher up the economic ladder, will come under scrutiny, and, perhaps, criticism. The facts brought out may alter the course of the farmers’ fight for a decent living. The great point on which the trial will turn for most of our millions, however, is the personality of Ford himself. This manufacturer-with the idealistic impulses, this Midas with the ascetic face, is probably the best known man in the world, with the possible exception of Charles Chaplin, who made the world laugh while Ford was putting it on wheels. Ford’s queer streaks of ignorance and prejudice, as shown in his famous libel suit against the Chicago Tribune, the impossible idealism which resulted in the famous peace ship fiasco, have cpunted little with a country which likes and trusts him and remains immensely interested in him. What effect will it have if he should come out of this case, convicted in the public mind of unfairness and cruelty to a whole race? It will be a great trial. SPATS ARE ALL RIGHT It isn’t sinful to wear spats and carry a cane. This assertion is made in view of the criticism beginning to be heard concerning the personnel of our State Department. Some critics apparently are chiefly aroused by the sartorial aspect of the department This newspaper refuses to be bothered by this. It has felt free to say many uncomplimentary things about the department, but It doesn’t have

any burning convictions on the subject of the department’s clothes. Clothes the diplomat. True, it may be that the men in the State Department aren’t happy unless their attire correctly illustrates “what the youug Englishman will wear.’’ Correct spats and cane, correct fedora hat, correct cutaway coat, correct striped trousers, correct wing point collar, correct batwing tie, or is it the butterfly tie this year? That isn't what is the matter with the State Department. It isn’t what the young men have on the outside. It's what they have on the inside. Robert M. La Follette, the senior, wore spats. He didn’t carry a cane because it was too much trouble. But for the many years of his long and useful life he rated as one of the carefully dressed men In our handsomely haberdashed capital. And Fighting Bob never found that his haberdashery Interfered with his fighting. It was all on the outside. Inside was a clear, keen brain; a warm human heart, beating in unison with the hearts of the masses. Bob could talk man to man with the driver of his taxi and neither be aware of what the other wore. So if it pleases the State Department to present a Piccadilly appearance to the world, let’s not quarrel with their taste. Let's quarrel with something more vital —and tbfat is what the boys wear in the way of brains, experience, human understanding. Down below the Rio Grande a group of farmers, teachers, mechanics —a group reminiscent of the men who wrested the thirteen colonies from a British king and set up the republic of the United States —are endeavoring to build a nation out of the wreckage left by centuries of exploitation. It is one of the inspiring undertakings of our time. It is a hard task, but the farmers, teachers, mechanics are making headway. The greatest difficulty they face is the misunderstanding of the people on this side of the border — not the people, either, but the official representatives of the people. The official representatives are the boys in the State Department. ' These boys seem to have no capacity to understand what it’s all about. Their mental energy appears to be exhausted when they have finished dressing themselves or getting themselves dressed by their valets. Beautiful clothes models they are, and that’s all right. We could wish they were also something more. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT This great land of ours has Its faults, of course. No nation in the world’s hisotry has ever been otherwise, and it is still a trifle early to expect ours to be the lone exception. But you must admit that when -we Americans tackle a problem we go after it in a whole-souled fashion, without any halfway measures. Take this matter of crime and its punishment, for example. The criminal represents one of those problems j that we haven't yet got around* to solving. For a 1 long time we adopted a custom of letting nature take its course, and it has been only in the last few yeairs that our best minds, in State legislatures and elsewhere, have turned seriously to crime’—to its punishment and cure, we mean, of course. Now, at last, It begins to look as though we were going to solve this problem, like the others, in typically American fashion. From every side come reports of new and harsher laws. New York has anew law making a life tertn obligatory for, “habitual criminals”—and crime is considered a habit when a man has indulged in it four times. Michigan is considering reviving the deatli penalty for murderers. In certau States the death penalty has been extended for robbers as well as killers. Legislators- are beginning to look wfith fond eyes on the whipping post. Longer sentences are the order everywhere. All id all, it would seem that most of our criminals will be either dead or locked up safely in'a short time. But before the crimeless millennium dawns, we would like to make a suggestion. Might It not be that a general tightening up of our court procedure would do more good than stricter laws? In other words, isn’t there a chance that certainty of punishment, rather than severity, might be the best remedy? Statistics, which have been brought to their fullest flower by our American civilization, show that comparatively few criminals ever are brought to trial, and that fewer still are convicted. They show that the man accused of a crime has innumerable legal loopholes at his disposal. They show that a clever lawyer can block the strong arm of justice almost indefinitely. Let’s see if we can't make our police and court systems a little more business-like, so that a man contemplating crime will know that the chances are 50 to 1 he will be caught and convicted. That seems a logical first step. ~.. | REVOLUTION: FAR OFF Charles Ruthenberg is dead in Chicago. The way the country greets the news of his passing is, perhaps, the best sort of evidence as to the failure ! of his life’s ambition. Ruthenberg wanted to see revolution. He was a Communist of the reddest type. A few years ago his name made many people shiver. But nqw’s of his death was received quietly. I Maby people, perhaps most people, even asked, “Who is Ruthenberg?” and let it go at that. If the Nation were anything but prosperous and satisfied his passing would have made a stir. The public apathy is a good sign that the revolution Ruthenberg sighed for is a long, long way off. Crime would fall off if the people would start paying on their own homes, say? a Michigan builder. The trouble is that with punctures and the price of gas, they’re so hard to maintain. A Baltimore man says his wife spent $50,000 in trying to reduce. She certainly succeeded as far as the bank roll was concerned. * The boys are getting ready for their trans-At-lantic airplane hops. But cheer up, girls, the water ■will warm up pretty soon.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Most of Us Will Agree Effort to Save Frick Worthwhile,

By M. E. Tracy Alfred Frick’s death after a futile struggle of more than 108 hours to free him from paralysis, finds the doctors in disagreement. Some say the case was hopeless and that the effort to save his life accomplished nothing but to prolong tlip agony. Others say that the effort was justified, even though it stood but a slight chance of success. It is an interesting discussion, but no matter what the doctors decide, the rest of us will stay with the old philosophy that “where there is life there is hope.” This philosophy not only offers enough by way of consolation to justify it, but is the backbone of medical science. I Doctors have learned the greatest part of what they know by engaging in just such hopeless struggles with death, and trying experiments which prevailing opinion regarded as fanciful. Judging Life If life is so unimportant that we should let go of it rather than endure a few hours of agony, why find fault with the yqpth whp commits suicide because of a disappointment in love or failure to pass an examination? If Frick should not have been exposed to path on humanitarian principle as some doctors assert, why should his grief-stricken mother be subjected to the anguish of having his body opened and dissected? Scientists can never be so illogical as when they are trying to advertise their goodness of heart. If the medical profession has formed no higher Ideal than to let q man die because his case seems hopeless in light of present knowledge, it has not only proved a miserable failure, but has gone back on the very method which has taught it all it knows. ■ * ■ ■■ “ Suffer in Progress It is absurd to think we can progress without encountering more or less suffering, without trying what seems the impossible, without taking chances with life itself. The man who works around a dynamo plays with death, the man who flies seven miles high will be the man who studies an infectious disease is likely to catch it and the man who comes forward with anew ideas runs the risk of being called an idiot. It is good sense to take every precaution against danger and pain. It is not good sense to accept a fear of them as an excuse for standing still. The Idea has become popular that we can become strong without sweating for it, can learn without tiresome study, can become orderly without discipline. We take the switch out of the schoolroom and then demand a Baumes law. A thousand murders are committed in this country every year because some fathers and mothers failed to make their children obey. You can't let the kids go wild and then expect them to know the necessity of law and order when they grow up. Whipping Passe An 80-year-old fanner is shortly to '>e whipped in Maryland for beating his wife. The punishment may not be out of proportion for the offense, but it is out of harmony with modern ideas. During the last twenty-five years our system of discipline in the home and school has run largely to soft speech. Has this any bearing on the savage laws and severe penalties which are being demanded to correct an alarming increase in crime? It is agreeable to suppose that human nature will react favorably to sweet words, but he-men and shewomen still seem to demand a certain amount of uncompromising authority to bring out the best that is In them. Doubted Theories Such cold blooded acts of hlghwaymanry as that which occurred in Pittsburgh on Friday, and they are becoming too common for comfort, shake one’s confidence in the theories we have been following with regard to crime and its causes. Here was no moron run amuck, no lone bandit turned anti-social for reasons of his own, no accidental outrage committed on Impulse. . It took not only intelligence, but intelligence of a highly organized character, for nine men to plant a bomb so accurately, blow up an automobile, seize SIOO,OOO and escape without getting scratched. Our most dangerous criminals are no longer coming out of*lie gutter or the dives. Once upon a time they may have represented the dregs of society, but now they come nearer to representing the froth. They have ceased to be a/type, as Prof. Cooley points out; their mentality is not of a low order and like Richard Reese Whittemore, they frequently come from what we call good Christian homes. The Rouble with many good Chris tian homes is that they are run not In a way that older folks know is safe and sane, but in a way that will keep young folks from teasing. It has become a fad in many good Christian homes to suppose that parental affection includes little more than ice cream cones, movie tickets And a bit of night life. The idea of self-restraint is left out of the picture. What is ttte address of Henry Van Dyks? j Avalon, Princeton, New Jersey.

Work Double After Bid by Doubler Is Good Informer.

By Milton C. Work The pointer for today la: A double made after a hid hy the double is one of (lie most effectirt ways in which an Informatory double can he used. The double generally known s "the subsequent double," when properly used, produces more gratifying results than almost any other form of the Informatory double. It la especially effective when Denier has opened with a one-bid of a four-card suit, his hand consisting of three strong four-card suits and a singleton: and even more so when he link hid ft five-card suit, having two strong four-card suits on the side and being void of tho fourth stilt. In either of tho above cases, if one of the adversaries hid the fourth suit, the subsequent double by the Dirtier gives the partner the most valuable and definite information and enables him to select, the declaration most profitable for tho combined hands. If he have normal support for tho suit originally named and no other suit with material length or strength, he can raise his partner's suit; but If he have a strong suit—even if It be only a four-enrder, or if he have a five-carder, no matter how weak, he can hid with confidence because he knows that the subsequent double has announced material support for it in tho hand of his partner. The subsequent double made by an Initial No Trump bidder after a suit-bid made by tlie adversary on his left (a hid which, if sound, announces great strength) also works very satisfactorily with tho type of hand that justifies it: but it is after an initial ‘suit-hid that the subsequent double ts the most frequently and most effectively called into play. Suppose that South (Dealer) should hold: Sp: A K x-x HI: K-Q-x-x Dl: a-.j-io-x ci: a. If ho • tartid ding a spade and either West or East hid two Clubs, he would have an Ideal position for a subsequent double. Ho would have the same opportunity If, for example. Ills hand had been: Sp: A-Q-x-x x Ht: K J 10 x Dl A J x x Cl: None. (Copyright John F. Dllle Cos.)
