No law shall be passed restraining the freeinterchange of thought and opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write or print freely, on any subject ivhatever.—Constitution of Indiana.

Such a Vindication \ Those who believe in the freedom or the press and the integrity of the jury pystem have cause to rejoice in the vote upon the impeachment of Judge Clarence W. Dearth of Muncie. No arbitrary powV can suppress, with impunity, the newspapers of this State. No official, no judge, may do by force what is prohibited under the constitution by law. The Times made the first editorial demand that the Legislature impeach this judge. It made that demand when it learned that newsboys had been taken from the streets and their papers confiscated. The Times saw in this incident a precedent which might endanger the freedom of every newspaper in this State. For The Times believes in law and order. It believes that the redress for any wrong is not force and suppression but the orderly channels of the written law. The House of Representatives, through its comjnittea, made other charges in connection with the 'drawing of juries. But the Times insisted that no precedent be set for the bringing to Indiana of any one who might emulate the example of Mussolini. The trial has been held. Twenty-nine Senators out of the forty-nine who voted have declared that no one shall invade the freedom of the press. That the impeachment law provides for a twobirds vote iti order to obtain a conviction means uthing when contrasted with this impressive vote. The result becomes more impressive as the roll a called and an analysis is made of the Senators who .ted for conviction. Out of fifteen attorney members of that body, eleven voted for conviction. Three of tho four at torneys who voted for acquittal came from Indianapolis, the home of machine politics. In principle and practice a free p r ess and boss rule are eternal . aemies. Nor does the comparison of the records of the Senators who voted solidly for acquittal with those who voted for conviction dispel any enthusiasm of those who have faith in Indiana, faith in its final redemption, faith that at some time there will be a people's government lased upon the constitution. They are those whose votes could always be counted in advance and always against any proposal for the benefit of all the people. it means something when a majority of the Senate, and an impressive majority, votes for upholding the constitution in Indiana. * if there he surprise, it should be occasioned by the size of the vote for conviction, not in the fact that there was/ lacking two votes of the necessary number to convict. For in that vote is the sign of anew day when the professional politicians will no longer rule with iron hand and give orders to public servants which are instantly*obeyed. In that vote is the sign that the people have become aroused to the fact that the constitution i3 still their defense against invasion of their lib erties and that they will defend that document againt any attack. in that vote is the hand-writing on tho wall, a3 plainly as that which sent a thrill of fear iiuo the ancient Belshazzar. To whatever gratification there may be for Judge Dearth in the vote which gave* him his acquittal, he is welcome and more than welcome. For after all, it is not Dearth that matters nor any other individual. All that matters is the vindication of the eternal principles of liberty and their freedom from overthrow. For that, at last there is a majority in Indiana. For that the representatives of the people have spoken by a most emphatic majority. If there he doubt about it, get if you can the opinion of the political machines which tried by legal opinion and by every other means to prevent this impeachmeut trial. They, if they tell the truth, are repeating the words of that general of Napoleon who once de dared, “One imore such victory and we are ruined.’’ The Times congratulates the people upon the outcome. This trial has made free speech a little safer in this State. It has, without doubt, served a very peeded purpose and other judges, in other counties, will probably pause and collect their judicial dignity, when tempted to toss aside the tradi-ti-ns of a century of law and order. Why Winnipeg Leads The city of Winnipeg, Canada, claims to lead L.e world In the use of electricity in the home. Winnipeg has 15,000 electric ranges in operation in Its 32,000 homes and 8,000 apartment block suites. There are not that; many electric ranges in use in any other city in the world, whether you compare totals or proportion to the population, according to a recent dispatch to the Christian Science Monitor. Is there a reason? There is! The city sf Winnipeg has a low rate for electricity as the re-* suit of the construction of a municipally-owned hydroelectric system sixteen years ago. The aver age rate for domestic lighting is three and one-half cents per hour, and for domestic power purposes—cooking, washing, ironing—one cent per hour! John Bull Is Up to His Old Tricks Says the United Press: “Some dissatisfaction has been expressed, according to Shanghai reports, at America’s alleged lack of cooperation with Great Britain. . , . “A long message received by Secretary Wilbur ft-om Admiral Williams, commander of the American forces in China is believed to bear on this temple.” And so the plot develops step by step. If America can not be drawn Into the Chinese war she would be pushed in. London newspapers are filled with indignant reports of American flags being torn down and trampled: of American marines being set upon by Cantonese thugs to be rescued by British tars, and a thousand and one other indignities heaped upon 1 American citizens in China. L Precisely as happened during tho World War, A the British are determined to prove that the Chinese 1 war la our war. Disregarding the notorious fact that ■ the anti-foreign movement in China is really anti- ■ British and anti-Japanese, you’d think, on reading

the British press, that it is not really anti-foreign, but anti-American. , Our State Department should put a stop to these tactics. A quiet and courteous hint that such procedure is insulting to our intelligence would have good effect If dropped in the right place. We have no apologies to offer Britain or any other country for our course in China. And we should quietly but firmly let this fact be known to those who now have the gall to censure us. Otherwise we shall soon see the China situation turned to our disadvantage the whole world over thanks to trick propaganda put out by those who would use us to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. What Perry Heath Started Perry Heath, who died Wednesday, should bo remembered as the father of rural free delivery. lie was other things—handy man for Mark Hanna, pioneer in political publicity, perfect gladhander, coadjutor of Charles G. Dawes in financing and reorganizing small town gas companies, and that unique thing among newspaper correspondents who made money. But his memorable achievement was the inauguration of rural free delivery. Had it not been for Perry Heath and his methods the rural dweller might still be sending or going to the country postottice lor his mail. Because the delivery of rural mail was universally admitted to he one of those tilings that “just couldn’t be done,’’ it could bo demonstrated to a finality that the cost would be prohibitive. It would bankrupt the Government. It was physically impossible owing to bad roads. And there were thirteen other reasons why it could not be done. But Perry Heath, while Assistant Postmaster General, smiled his way into the hearts of members of the Postoflice Appropriations Committee to the extent of a little appropriation of $3(4,000 just to experiment with. And then, saying nothing much to anybody, Perry picked out a rural district and arranged a mail route. He engaged a man with a horse and buggy and set up delivery of the mail. Amazing to tell, it worked. The mail got delivered and the Government did not incur any very great deficit. And the farmers in that particular county and congressional district were tickled pink. The neignboring Congressman heard about It and hurried to Perry Heath's office to see if service couldn’t be started in his district. As he was one of the appropriations committee Congressmen, Perry thought it could be arranged. Then the Congressman on the other side heard about it and demanded service. He got it. it spread like a rash. Finally it covered the whole country and the Government had not been swamped by the expense. The farmers liked it. The mail order houses liked it. The publishers of newspapers and magazines liked it and It was generally popular. It never would have got itseif done as an openly avowed project covering the whole country. But being quietly tried out and put through by a good manager, it got by without a creak. l.u Chicago they have a “Husband’s Defense League.” Next thing you know men will be demanding a voice in public affairs. Once there as a baseball manager who admitted before the season began that his team probably wouldn't win the pennant. However, habits of soliloquy have fallen off a lot lately. A sport writer has one thing to be thankful for these days, die doesn’t have to make any wise cracks about Sinclair Lewis. A girl coming home from a party at 5 a. in. In C hicago shot herself when she met her mother who was on the way to church. Mothers shouldn't get up so early to go to church. An Englishman drove his car 207 miles an hour down in Florida the other day, but he didn’t manage to hit a single pedestrian.

Public Opinion In Wartime

•By Gilson Gardner-

The relation of public opinion to wars is ihe subject of anew book by Norman Angell. Without a public opinion favorable to the war, no war can be successfully prosecuted, says the author. But the making of public opinion, he says, is just as much of a trade as the making of war. A weapon of modern war more important than poison gas, and more deadly, he contends, is directed propaganda. Build up “nationalism” and then have the propaganda ready to be turned on. That is the way to get a “good war.” All modern civilized countries have the laws so fixed that immediately on there being a “state of war,” free discussion of the matter is checked and the press becomes “in the name of patriotism” the organ of the government for winning the war. Then what happens is described in the words of the Rev. G. A. Studdert-Kennedy who was a famous military chaplain during the World War. Says Kennedy: “On the efficiency of the propaganda department everything else depends. At a moment's notice, every ‘civilized’ nation must be ready with projectors to let loose upon the people clouds of poisonous lies. They must be made to weep with a slush and sentiment that they may not see, to choke with indignation and to cringe with fear that they may not think. Strong hut subtle irritants to stir them to hatred must be invented. “Years afterward the truth may come out, but the lies will have served their purpose and people soon forget. They will be just as ready to believe that Russians torture women as they were to believe that Germans melted down their dead for glycerine, if Russia should happen to be the enemy. “It must not be supposed that all this is done deliberately and out of cynical wickedness. If it were it would be easy to cope with it. The knowledge that it is for the country's sake obliterates the distinction between truth and falsehood. Therein lies the horror of nationalist passion; it has the power of turning good into evil, evil into good. 'All is grist that comes to its mill. A filthy joke or a splendid poem, it docs not matter which, so long as they win the war.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Ferguson Amnesty Case Raises Maze of Questions.

By M. E. Tracy Another chapter was added to one of the most dramatic political records in this country when Governor Moody of Texas signed the so-called anti-amnesty bill which reaffirms the impeachment of James E. Ferguson. Ferguson is one of the eight American Governors ever to have been imi>eached, and the only one ever to fight his way back. Ousted from the executive chair ten years ago and disqualified from holding any State office, he ran for the United States Senate in 1920 and 1922 and was successful in having his wife declared Governor in 1924. During her administration, the Texa? Legislature passed a bill restoring Ferguson’s right to hold offices of the State. The last Legislature repealed this bill and restored the oroginal verdict of impeachment. Such a whirligig of flip flops could hardly fail to present several questions of constitutionality. In the first place, can the Legislature repeal the verdict of Its Senate sitting as a high court of impeachment? If it can, Is It possible for a succeeding Legislature to restore the verdict? If the verdict can be restored and Ferguson Is once more barred from holding State office, is he also barred from holding Federal offices. Ills case is cluttered with enough question marks to suggest that neither Texas nor the rest of tho country has heard the last of James E. Ferguson. Socrates’ Case While on the subject of repealing verdicts. It is worthy of note that a Gfeek lawyer has petitioned the Supreme Court of Athens to reverse the death sentence passed against So crates 2,300 years ago. A noble gesture, hut of what avail? The physical Socrates has been dead too long to benefit by such action, while the spiritual Socrates has long since lived down the unhappy fate which a narrow-minded tribunal visited on him. V* Flappers' Votes “Votes for flappers,” has become a burning issue In England. At present English woman cannot vote until they are 30, while men can vote at 21. Agitation to remove this Inequality has been going for some time, with Lady Astor well out In front. Mrs. Pankhurst, on the other hand, who has always been regarded as an uncompromising suffragist, is not so enthusiastic. Liberals and Laborites have long since declared for reducing the age limit and Conservatives seen: Inclined to fall in line. Premier Baldwin has virtually promised that he will introduce a bill to that effect. There is a lot of opposition, not because young women are regarded as less Intellectual than men, but because war has so affected the sex balance in England that if women were permitted to vote at an equally early age with men they would be in the clear majority. Crime News A sub-committee of the New York crime commission has revived the idea that crime news in the press is harmful and has advanced six arguments against it. There is sense In the idea, but so far no one has offered a remedy that isn’t worse than the evil. Suppression of crime news would certainly do more harm than all the sensationalism with which we are now affected and censorship is too absurd for second thought. Details of a murder, theft or forgery cut both ways. If they influence some people to be bad, which is still a matter of guesswork, they assuredly stimulate other to be good. Is Row Necessary? Administration spokesmen are now talking about the Nicaraguan canal as though it were the basis of our present policy. Is it necessary to start, or support a row in Latin America whenever we think of building an Isthmian canal? That Is the way we went at it in Panama and. by inference at least, that is the way we are going at it in Nicaragua. If we were a poor nation there might be some excuse for forceful seizure of what we felt we were unable to buy, but we are not poor and Latin-America knows it. If a Nicaraguan canal is desirable, and it certainly is, why not trade for the needed concessions and pay a fair price? We didn’t save a nickel by our ruthless course in Panama, and we won’t save a nickel by acting as we are towards Nicaragua if a canal is the object. Whether a canal has become the object, it was not the object to begin with so far as public could tell. Nothing, was said about a canal when our marines first landed, and nobody hap reason to suppose that the administration had a canal in mind. You can't help suspecting that the canal has been trotted out as an afterthought, as a sort of substitute for all the excuses and arguments which have turned so sour. How many Marys are mentioned in the New Testament? Mary, the mother of Jesus (Virgin Mary); Mary, the mother of James; "the other Mary?”; Mary of Clopas; Mary, the sister of Martha (Mary of Bethany); Mary Magdalene: Mary the mother of Mark; Mary saluted by Paul. , -Some scholars identify Mary of Bethany with Mary Magdalepe, others claim they were different persons.

Ona B. Talbot Announces Song Recital Program of Tito Schipa at the Murat

mHERE is no more famous tenor in the world today than Tito Schipa, who will be heard in the lead of the Sunday afternoon Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts concerts, May 11. But none is simpler in his bearing or more genuinely a good fellow. While many a great artist fails .to mingle with people in general, Schipa finds in this his greatest llappiness, aside from music. He lives his life both as man and artist. Schipa is an athlete and trains daily. In perfect health, not only does he keep in perfect voice, but in sunny humor. Nothing worries him. I*ast winter a. supper was given by the Alfalfa Club of Washington, D. C., in honor of Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House. Schipa's Tuxedo coat had by accident been left at home. Did he worry? Not at all. Putting on a sack coat with the balance of his evening clothes, he went. Later, he was asked to sing. His own accompanist could not be found. That, too, failed to stop him. A man present volunteered to act as his pianist. Taking chances. Schipa sang and made the hit of the evening. No man there bothered abput the kind of coat that Schapt wore, any more than did Schipa himself, which was not at all. They only knew that his voice enchanted them and that he Was a “regular fellow.” Duly Schipa was presented to President Coolidge. "Oh! I knowall about you,” was the smiling greeting he gave the great tenor, adding, when their talk had ended, “Any time you are in Washington, I'll be glad to see you.” Doubtless he, too, recognized the "regular fellow” traits in Schipa which had delighted those forty Congressmen present at the Alfalfa Club. But to see Schipa at his best is to see him in his own home. Like tho Spanish host, his manner says, “This house is yours.” Last fall on the final night of his stay in Los Angeles, where he had been singing with the San Francisco Opera Company, Schipa gave a little party. The list of those attending would have read like a directory of moving picture celebrities, for among many others of the silver screen there were Ramon Navarro. Norma Sehearer, Florence Vidor, Leatrice Joy, Bebc Daniels, besides singers from the opera, fifty all told. Was there a formal supper? Not a bit of It. Madame Schipa, the tenor’s wife, made spaghetti for the crowd, Schipa sang to them. That “h%ne feeling” so welcome to the hearts of stage “stars,” inspired the gathering. Nor was it likely that any guest there would have exchanged it for a banquet in a palace, particularly after Schipa had sung to them. His program will be as follows: “Amorim” Caeeini N' na Pergoieme pi anon (II sogno) Mawscm-t • Scherzo” Chnpm 'Ava Mana Schipa ' At Parting- Racer* Slizannp * Paladilhe -Pnneesita Padilla Harlequins Serenade, f from Pair,,_,,liacci Leoncavallo CM se nne scorda echiu ...

Topic for the Week “SPIRITUAL INTERCOURSE’* Saturday "Friendship with God Involves Mutual Self-Surrender” (King) SCRIPTURE: Read—ll Corinthians 6. “Draw nigh to God and He will draw' nigh to you” (Jas. 4:8). “Not ( every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Mt. 7:21). “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” (Mt. 6:14). “Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, aad touch no unclean thing: and I will receive you, and will be to you a father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters” (II Cor. 6:17-18). Luke 6:46. MEDITATION: Would it be unreasonable for God to demand of us all the surrendering? If He and I disagree, which should give in? Is He not perfect? But what does Calvary mean unless it means God's surrender to us? Is anything so presumptuous as to refuse to yield to God? Consider what sin is—opposition to God. When, however, I come to converse with God as His friend I am eager to give up everything that is offensive to Him. Moreover, when I have done my best I recognize the need of His with me. Let me learn self-surrender, for it means happy friendships in the realm of the spirit. “It is not 'enough that I am at peace with Thee, it is not enough that I am reconciled to Thee. I must be able to be glad in Thee.” HYMN: Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, — The shadow of a mighty rock, Within a weary land, A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way. From the burning of the noontide heat. And the burden of the day. I take, O cross, thy shadow * For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face, — Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame. My glory all the cross. —Elizabeth C. Clephane, (1830-1869). PRAYER: Pray for obedient spirits; our homes; the blind: the deaf and inmates of institutions. Collect—O Lord our God, Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, thy love is unsullied, full and free. Thou art conquering the hearts of men by the surrender of Thyself. Thou art showing high trust in us, can we not trust Thee. We praise Thee for the life, death and resurrection of Thy Son in whom we see the Father. Give us to know the fellowship of His suffering and the 4jower of His resurrection with its pledge of our on-going life. We beseech Thee to be our ally in the conflict witli evil. Give us the love that triumphs. Use us for the transformation of the world into the kingdom of Christ. Seal within us our purpose to live for eternity and to Thee be all the praise. Amen.

CVT'I orlclPc 1 •TMrli J In No Trump Don’t Jump at Strong Suit Like Hungry Trout.

The pointer for today Is: W lien playing a No-Trump, Postpone as long as possible the lead of a seven-card suit containing Ace-King-Queen when one hand has four cards and the other three. Today's pointer is one which many players need. A suit of four cards in one hand and three in the other, headed by Ace-King-Queeh, regardless of how the throe honors may be divided, seems to contain a special lure: it locks like an easy way to win tricks, and many Declarers, tile moment they obtain the lead, Jump for it withal! tlie energy of a hungry front after tlie first grasshopper of tho season. It is. however, a lead which should he postponed as log as possible; do not lead that suit until the adversaries have establinhed their suit. For example, take tho No-Trump hudd given yeste--day: North S. Q-4 it. 8-6-6-? D. IC-Q-6-2 , C. K-9-3 West East ft. J-0-7-5-2 ft. K-8-3 H. 10 4 H. A-J7 D. J-7 D-10-9-5-4 C. 10-8-7-2 C.

A-6-5 After East won the first t*ick with the King of Spades (why he was permitted to win that trick was explained yesterday), lie returned a Spade, which Dummy won with the Queen. Declarer still has the adverse suit stopped, so lie should postpone the Diamond lead. Declarer seventh Diamond, if good now, always will bo good: but, if not good now, watchful waiting may induce an adverse discard which will make it so. In ibis case the Declarer should avoid the Diamonds until the last entry in Spades is taken out of his hand; and lie should make up the Hearts. Trick 3. lead a Heart from Dummy toward the King-Queen, and if Closed Hand win the first Heart trick, put Dummy in with the King of Clubs to lead a second Heart. Played this way, a Diamond discard may be obtained on the last Heart and a trick gained. (Copyright John F. Dille Cos.)

One of New York’s prorni-J nent critics said of him, during hisl premiere appearance as guest conductor ivvth the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at the Stadium, in 1924; “He Is a born conductor.” ' Mr. Reiner’s art is recognized on every hand as masterful. Not only for his command of the technique of his art, but for his deep understanding of the resources of the orchestra, and his knowledge of how to make the best use of them. Due to Mr. Reiner’s persistent and precise demands for ensemble virtuosity. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is a thoroughly and delicately attuned instrument upon which tho conductor plays with ease and consummate skill. Long before he came to the United States, in 1922, to preside over the artistic destinies of The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Reiner was recognized as one of the brilliant young conductors of Europe. His triumphal season in Buenos Aires, last July and August, have established his reputation on the third continent. * Born in Budapest, Hungary, he was graduated from tho National Academy of Music and high school at the age of sixteen. Three years later he was made assistant conductor at the Budapest Opera Comique. Although well trained in the classics his versatility extended to operatic lierature and in 1914 he was appointed conductor of tho. Royal Opera in Dresden, where he remained eight years, often ing as guest conductor in various European cicies. After the Worl<™ War he was called to Rome and made a tour of Spain from where he was called to Cincinnati. This concert is the last of the series of Indianapolis Symphony, Society, Ona B.
