We Have Company Just three days ago*the great Chicago Tribune, commenting upon the present State of Indiana politics, hazarded the opinion that Indiapa was in the dark ages of political history, that fanaticism and bigotry and ignorance would cause the intelligent to leave the State as soon as opportunity presents. And now Chicago, where that great paper should be the guide and counselor, the people, over its protest elect “Big Bill” Thompson on an issue of “Down with King George.” The outcome suggests that many of the things which we may have thought to be peculiar to Indiana are general in these United States and that those who hoped that when this State had beaten its way hack to something of self-respect in its own government, all would be w6ll, will be disappointed as they look across the State lines on that happy day. It is difficult for even Indiana to realize the depths of public thought which would permit the second greatest city to make the decision which it did. From a distance, at least, Mayor Dever had everything to commend him in comparison with the former mayor who now goes back to oflice. During the Dever administration there had been no scandals, no charges of graft, no suggestion that the politicians and privileges and permits. Under the former Thompson era these had been prevalent. Supporting Mayor Dever were the leading educators, most of the ministers, leaders in the business and professional world, the thinkers and the doers of that city. With Thompson was the mob and those who could be aroused to hatred and unthinking malice and prejudice. And most of all, the gunman and the bootlegger, . who represent a very large business in Chicago, were for Thompson. Instead of an ineffective effort to suppress the beer runners and the sale of booze, the people preferred to have no effort at all. For that was one of the promises of the Thompson managers that there would be no effort to enforce the prohibition laws. Unquestionably there was a very large percentage of the voters who voted for the wettest candidate and who were tired of beer wars, tired of high prices lor illicit liquors, tired of the ineffective struggle md who were ready to vote for plain nullification os far as a police force and mayor may have power to nullify a Federal law. At any rate the Thompson election does not seem to have it in any factor which would lead to the belief that intelligence, honesty, integrity or princille have made any great advance. Chicago openly and boldly proclaims itself dedicated to the rule by the unfit, the casting aside of all law, the appeal to passion and prejudice and espec ally to an ignorant fanaticism and bigotry. If Indiana deserves to be taunted for its political devotion to fanaticism and ignorance, it is not alone. If it were true, Chicago might easily be annexed and assimilated without either lowering or raising the standards. A Thought for the Tired Business Man In China American business men in Shanghai want the United States to help Britain sit on China. '1 hey have built up a little business out there, said business being based on the ancient order of things. They seem to fear they may lose a little money if China wakes up and branches out as an independent sovereign power. How perfectly absurd! A fully awake, strong, self-respecting, hardworking, wage cabling China would simply be the making or American trade in that corner of the world. Take the United Kingdom, for example. Her Population is 44,000,000. Our total annual trade with her amounts to something like $1,350,000,000. China has between four and live hundred mil--lon inhabitants. Our total trade with her amounts to approximately $280,000,000 a year. With ten times her population, China’s trade with us is only one-fifth as great as Britain’s. Labor, a long time ago, vigorously opposed labor saving machinery. Workers were afraid they would be cut out of a job, or have their wages cut. T hat was when workers were receiving a dollar a uay for about twelve or fourteen hours’ work. Now almost everything in the United States is machine made. Yet there is no unemployment and never have wages been anywhere near so high. Blind foreigners for an awakened China will mean higher wages to Chinese workers, native mills and factories and native managed affairs generally. They are afraid the new China will put an end to their nice little profits. If they only knew it they are standing in their own light when they call for British, Japanese and American punitive expeditions, blockades and war to keep China paralyzed. Ten Years After The tenth anniversary of our entrance into the 'i..j to end war lends itself to much lamenting. There are wars and rumors of wars in all parts cf the world. Instead of a world made safe for democracy, we seem at present to have a world cut out for dictators, a world where democratic ideals are more often me subject of ridicule than a challenge to sacrifice and devotion. In terms of the ideals which we entered the war to uphold, the decadfe since our entrance can be characterized as disastrous. The important question is: “What of the next decade?” When we entered the war we were simply one nation among a number regarded as about equal in power, The Germans, indeed, had made a much lower estimate, regarding our power as trivial. In the past decade all this has been changed. Ihe pendulum of world power has swung away irom war-crushed Europe to the west. It is now definitely located in the United States. Many students of history think it will keep on swinging westwaid until it reaches a reborn Asia. Regardless of what is to happen a century hence, the fact Remains that the next ten years will

see the United States occupying the priucipal place in the sun. Our policies will in substantial measure determine the course of world affairs. Wielding the greatest economic power in the history of mankind —a power generated in no small measure by the demands on us as a storehouse for warring Europe—we will set the pace for the world. Ten years ago we were going to demand an adjustment of world affairs which would eliminate wars. The simple fact was that, regardless of the will, we didn't have the power to do it. Now, wo have power undreamed of then. With that power we can go a long way in carrying out the ideals wjiich prompted our war endeavor. It will be possible to find out whether we were really fooling ourselves with phrases in 1927. The second decade after the war may be much more decisive than the first so far as the United States is concerned.

A Good Start Anew face appears in the highway commission and undoubtedly there will be wails and protests from various political leaders and more probably from the agents for various contractors. The public at large will not object to new faces, either on the highway commission or on any of the other boards in which the Governor will shortly have the power and the duty to make appointments. There are those who have tried to assume that the whole system of road building would be smashed unless the Governor saw fit to reappoint the present members as their terms expire. They have been so insistent that the public might easily reach the conclusion that if any of the present board should be unfortunate enough to leave this world, the good roads movement would reach an abrupt end. There is some reason, of course, for lauding the board as it stands, but there is no reason to believe that other men in the State would not make as persistent a fight, if they wished, against the capture of the State millions by that greedy group of politicians who have always wanted to handle the money and get the contracts. What the public will be interested in is not the fact that a change has been made, but in what stand this new mmber takes when he is placed in a position of temptation to yield to the State Republican machine in its search for plums or to divert all the money to particular and favored sections of the State. They will at least be fair enough to give him a chance to perform and to show his ability and his good judgment. Now that a start has been made, perhaps the Governor will find other new faces for some of the other boards. When it comes to the naming of public service commissioners, nothing will be lost and much might be gained if the Governor decides to find new men, particularly if he finds some who are not so imbued with the public utility viewpoint as to forget the public. The lower House of the Assembly by a very large vote, demanded that the Governor replace the present membership with men who have more of public interest and less of utility prejudice. The indictment against that commission found a hearty public response. The people had been convinced taat the commission needs a large amount of proof before it refuses any corporation any demand it makes and very little investigation hefor eit grants any petition for higher rates. Upon that particular commission, tiie public would be satisfied on the theory that any change would be for the better. As far as the new highway commission member is concerned, the people will suspend judgment until it discovers just why he is there and what he proposes in the way of change in policy and program. Some chunges could be made with profit. Others that have been attempted and desired would be disastrous.

Great-Grandma Is a Flapper “By N. 1). Cochran

It now appears that truth is not only stranger than fiction, but that often it is more interesting than philosophical speculation. Recently the lively and rebellious activity of certain grandmas whose antics got into the newspapers, led to favorable comment on my part. That inspired a letter by a great-granddaddy in which lie tells a true story of a flapper great-grandma that is full of life and human interest. The name of the author of the letter was given, but with a request that it be not published. So the request is being respected. Here is the letter, dated at "Washington, D. C., and written on the office letterhead of the author: Grandmas, is it? Huh! what is the matter with the great-grandmas? “I happen to know one who is 75 years of age. A couple of years ago she had her hair bobbed and began taking dancing lessons! She has four living children, having borne nine and reared six to maturity. “She has eleven living grandchildren, having had fifteen. “Now she Has two fino great-grandchildren. “And several months ago she sued for a divorce, she and her husband not having lived together for twenty years, and she having found a man of her own age who promised to dance, go to the theaters, travel and have a good time generally with her! And her husband offered no opposition to tho divorce, taking the ground that any woman who had borne nine children, who had done her share in bringing six of them to maturity, and who was a grandmother and a great-grandmother several times over, uus entitled to do any darned thing she pleased in her old age that she thought would make her happy. “I know, because I am the husband, daddy, granddaddy and great-granddaddy, but have no desire for further entangling marital or other alliances. “Yours (with all the sympathy in the world for the grandmas and great-grandmas). “Gr eat-Granddaddy, ■ 3 and still hammering a typewriter.” So far this is the champion true story in .the Old Age rebellion that doesn’t get into the newspapers because there is nothing scandalous about it. Without attempting to elaborate on a story that is complete in itself, I take off my hut to great-grandma and great-granddaddy, and suggest that if anybody can beat this team for bubbling youth in the Romantic Seventies, let them come forth.

Into War for Democracy But Welched on Own Proposition,

By M. K. Tracy If you want to see a man hopelessly fuddled let him propose something to his cronies, let them adopt it and then let him go back on it. He'll hem and haw, apologize, explain, hedge, offer substitutes and make an ass of himself in forty different ways. That is what ails the United States today. Ten years ago this nation rolled up its sleeves and went forth to stop a war to set up anew order, to save the world for democracy. Afterward, It welched on its own proposition, and you don’t need to look any further to understand the mass of absurdities and inconsistencies its foreign policy has become. Pummeling Policy Having pummeled Nicaragua and Haiti to prove our own prestige, we are now trifling with the idea of pummeling China to prove British prestige. Senator Edge rises to remark that it is our duty to see that Nicaragua holds clean elections. If it is our duty to see that elections are clean In Nicaragua, why isn’t it our duty to see that they are clean in five other Central American republics, not to mention Mexico and South America? If it is our duty to back up England in China, why isn't it our duty to back her up in India, Asia Minor, Africa, or any other place where she may be troubled? Tying Hands Meanwhile, wo refuse to jcin the League of Nations and the World Court on the ground that they involved “entangling alliances.” Meanwhile also, and in spite of our horrors of “entangling alliances” we continue to call conferences and palavers on disarmament which serve only to tie our hands while they promise little general good. Speedy Justice Our existing attitude toward other countries would be in better taste if we exemplified it at home. It took Mexico only a matter of days to find and punish the murderers of Wilkins. Billy McSwiggin was murdered months ago, but we don’t know who did it yet. Rioting at Home You can’t think of Billy McSwiggin without thinking of Chicago and especially the gang war which has disgraced it for several years. The outrageous performances of Tuesday were the logical result of that gang war, of vice run rampant, of thuggery in command. Some folks think we ought to make war on China, because of the rioting at Nanking. If that is so what ought to be done, because of the rioting at Chicago? Decency Quit For I every one who expresses a sincere desire to make politics cleaner, you hear a dozen proclaim that politics is too dirty for them to be interested. That, more than anything else, is what ails politics. So long as our brightest men and women hold such an attitude, politics will not only remain dirty, but grow dirtier. Big Bill Thompson and his riffraff following were able to <lo what they did, not because of their superior strength and numbers but because decent people laid down on the job.

Business Not All The American people have become obsessed with the Idea that so long as business is good everything else is bound to be all right. They have grown lukewarm toward those clerpents of life which made business good in the first place and which are essential to keep it good in tiie second —law, order, civic consciousness and a keen interest in politics. A republican government can't run itself no matter what the ledger shows, and. sooner or later, rotten politics is bound to make business rotten. • ‘Victorious Defeat' Speaking of business, its greatest figure in this country, if not in the whole world, lias Just backed down for the first time in his life. You have to admit that if Henry Ford knows when to start, he also knows when to stop. Not only that, but he has an uncanny instinct for picking the psychological moment. His abandonment of tiie chain store venture was a defeat, of course, but he did it in such a manner as to appear victorious and come out the hero. You can’t imagine a better staged performance than for Henry Ford's store manager to step bashfully out before a thousand irate grocers, who had assembled for the purpose of erasing' this latest Ford enterprise, and announce in a most different way that Ford had decided to close his chain stores to the public. No wonder the boys leaped to their feet with shouts of joy. It wouldn’t be surprising; indeed, if the majority of them went away with the firm resolve to buy three flivvers, where they bad only planned to buy two, and to buy Fords, where thoy had been considering makes. Has an American citizen of Swedish Dirt li all I lie rights of native born citizens? Yes: except that he cannot be elected President or Vice President of the United States. Why do dogs howl when they hear music? Not all dogs do. The only explanation that can be given is that howling is a manifestation of emotions stirred by certain chords of cacophonies striking their tympanum ; akin to equivalent sounds in nature, I that arouse the herd or hunting InI stinct in dogs and are inheritances from their wild ancestors.

Exhibition of Ceremonial Objects on View at Herron Art Institute

An exhibition of Hebrew ceremonial objects is now open at the Herron Art Institute. These pieces, executed for the ritual service of the churqjh, are the work of Bernhard Friedlander, a native of Poland but now residing in Duesseldorf, Germany. He is a goldsmith of prominence in his adopted land, having been associated with the court jewelers of the country, but since 1913 he has been working independently, and evolveij a type of ritual object of so marked an originality that it seems destined to influence the point of view of other artists in this field, regardless of religious prejudice. The pieces in the collection are made from gold, silver, ebony inlaid with silver, and ivory. There is one example of enamel. The most important item is a large tablet for use in the Sedar service, and is unique among Jewish ceremonial objects. It is of ebony, with inlaid panels on the sides, and represents a year’s devoted labor. There are a wine jug and a goblet on a silver pedestal that are companion pieces. They are Moorish in inspiration, their surfaces intricately and delicately cursed. A small antique tray of Oriental origin is included in the exhibition. This piece was repaired and restored by Friedlander witli panels of filigreed and undecorated silver, which display the discriminating taste and consummate skill of a master. The several types of candlebra are of unusual interest. A Chanukkah, or eight-branched candlebra, for use during the Maccabee celebration, is carefully balanced and gracefully composed. A book with server and enamel corners, and various types of foblets complete the collection. An exhibition of paintings by the Americun artist, Max Bohm, has also opened in the galleries. Bohm was born at Cleveland in 1868, and died at Provincetown in 1923. He was and is almost unique among artists. He always lived by his art. He sold drawings and paintings from the time he was eleven years old; supported himself by designing by the time he was sixteen; and at nineteen had saved enough money to go to Paris to study. He was only twenty-six when his painting, “En Mer” was given a place of honor in the Paris Salon and for twenty years every picture he sent to the Salon was accepted and .well hung. Medals and honors too nume-ous to mention were awarded him. The French Government bought his painting, “Tne Family” for the Luxembourg. Though he itudted with Constant, Laurens and Guillemat, he was of no school, and though he had pupils from all over the world he has no followers. He was an artist of magnificent ideas and ignored the commonplace. He believed individuality to be the basis of good art. and his own dignity and largeness of conception have given character to the record he has behind him in his paintings.

C Auction^ IwJMilton Ls Case Where Jack From Dummy Wins Most in No Trump.

The pointer for today is: Playing a No-Trump contract, with Jack-x in Dummy and Ace-King-x in Closed Hand, the best chance to win three tricks in the suit is to play tiie Jack from Dummy. When Dummy has Jack-jt and Closed Hand Ace-King-x, players sometime slip on a situation which cannot be classed as difficult. At No-Trump, it is well for Declarer to play on the basis that a high card of the suit led is in the hand of the leader rather than in the Third Hand; in this case it should be assumed that the lead was from the Queen. Os course it may be that the leader, having no stronger long suit, was compelled to open a suit headed by tho Ten and that Third Hand will have to play the Queen if a small card be played from Dummy, in which case Dummy’s play of the small card will gain a trick; but it is much more probable that the shoe is on. the other foot, that the leader lias opened a Queen-suit, and that playing the Jack will take three tricks in the suit, whereas playingsmall would limit the Declarer to two tricks in that suit. With Jaek-x-x opposite Ace-King-x, the quoA|n of whether the Jack or the the three will prove to be the more advantageous play for Dummy, is more complicated and doubtful; but even then, the Jack generally should be the card selected. The size of the small card led may have a material bearing on Dummy's play from Jack-x-x. Whenever, by the aid of tho Rule of Eleven, the Queen can be marked as being in the leader’s hand, the Jack must be a sure winner, and it obviously should be played. Passing to a different situation; if vou were a Declarer at a No-Trump contract, a small card being led, and in that suit you held Jack-x in Dummy with Ace-Ten in your own (the closed) hand; which of Dummy’s pair of cards should you play on the first trick? The answer tomorrow. Copyright, John F. Dille Cos.

But we need not dogmatize about the mystery of iniquity. I am sure there are wicked men and that there are evil impulses in me. and that vicious influences beat upon me as adverse winds against the sail. Like fire the breath of evil withers and burns the careless soul.
