The politicians of both parties and of all factions are opposed to the change because the present system permits them to control affairs very easily. The business men, the wage earners, the housewives are eager for a change which will drive om of power the malicious and evil influences which always finally control, under the present system, no matter who happens to be in office. For the politicians to raise the cry that the citv manager system will permit the politicians to rule Is one of the season's good jokes. Who rules now? Who have ruled in the past. Who expect to rule under the present system? The city manager form of government takes city government out of party politics. The politicians know this. That is why they are trying to terrify the citizen who wants good government, by raising the threat of their own evil control if the change is made. Passing the Paint Over the Leopard’s Spots Liberty Magazine, this week, seems pained. Its readers have been panning it for its “indiscriminately expansionist'* policy and because they have somewhat acquired the idea that it. “favors territorial aggrandizement, conquest and extension of our boundaries.’* “We do not,” it now disclaims. “We merely point out the facts and show how the United States, Paving agreed to act as a sort of wealthy elder brother to the weaker nations of this continent, h: ,i been compelled to put a check on the ambitious •1 aims of groups, individuals and nations that, in I’m holy name of liberty, would exploit them for selfish gain.” We should dearly love to take this scream : glo weekly’s word for it, but the bad boy’s wail r. at ho “didn't mean to do it,” while being fanned n- chucking a brick through a window somehow •Idom sounds impressive. A better Idea of the paper’s real state of mind nay be had by recalling some of Its recent expressions? “Why not develop Mexico?” the weekly asked List April when the Mexican question was just gett.ng started. After explaining that Mexico is both ignorant and lacking in capital, it tells the world she has no right to stand in the way of Uncle Sam, who needs oil and ore and coal and cattle and an outlet for his surplus capital. “The wiping out of the boundary would be a blessing to Mexico,” it concluded, “a benefit to the United States and to the world. ... A war may he necessary to remove this obstruction to economic advancement. . . This is what Liberty means when it talks about “wealthy elder brothers” protecting the weaker nations against those who “in the holy name of liberty, would exploit them for selfish gain. “It is not that we wish to exploit Mexico or Central America, Oh, no J “But as they are ignorant and poor we in our goodness should put them out of their misery before their pitiful struggles break our hearts.” In February Liberty treated its readers to another exhibition of kind-heartedness when in a double page spread in red and black, it showed a ferocious eagle swooping, with talons extended, in the direction of Latin-Amerlca and the Caribbean. “Southward the bird of empire wings his way,” was the heading. “The eagle has flown in ever widening circles over the Spanish main—what next?” Now, apparently repentant, Liberty says: “We are content to shinny on our own side and to keep out of the backyards of others.” Which would sound less hollow were it not said while dodging brickbats from its readers and did it not add a cryptic “but.” “But,” says the paper, “we propose to continue to be masters in our own house, and, if necessary, to remove neighborhood nuisances, if they interfere with our pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.” While we are not sure we know what this means, it makes us feel the leopard has not changed his spots at all, but has generally applied a paint brush. They’re still there only it doesn’t wish them to be so conspicuous. The Powers’ Demands On China After a significant delay five great powers— America, Britain, France, Italy and Japan—have moved to obtain satisfaction from the Cantonese for ,he events of March 24 at Nanking. Punishment of those guilty of the attacks against foreigners, a written apology from the Nationalist commander-in-chief and full reparation for injuries to persons and damage to property are demanded. Which is reasonable enough, if the nationalists really committed the acts complained of and did so premeditatedly, as charged. But in the three weeks which have elapsed since the events are alleged to have taken place, the allies —as we may now call the concert of foreign powers—have produced little by way of actual proof of guilt. If a general massacre of foreigners was planned in advance by the nationalists, what prevented the massacre? Surely thousands of armed soldiers, under orders to kill and loot, could have made a far more thorough job of it than they did. They had virtually an entire day, according to consular reports, before the Anglo-American bombardment began late in the afternoon. Moreover, trustworthy American reporters in Shanghai claim they have been unable, to date, to

verify the stories of atrocities in Nanking beyond what, to all appearances, were the acts of a lawless element,- nationalist or local, or mixed, taking advantage of a few hours of inevitable chaos attending the fall of a great river port. However that may be, the important thing now is what will happen next? Some of the powers insisted upon an ultimatum to be followed by punitive measures, including a blockade which would paralyze the nationalist forces and stop their advance on Pekin. Tlie United States, we are told, refused to go that far. However, Shanghai cables say that unless the Cantonese show their intention to comply with their demands without delay, the powers “will take such steps as they consider necessary.” This looks like a compromise between the American and what we have been told is the British position. It sounds like an ultimatum in fact without it actually being one in form. What steps would the powers “consider necessary,” if perchance, Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek, the nationalist commander-in-chief, denies his troops were guilty? If he sincerely believes they were not guilty, or if he is in a position to know they are not, he could hardly be expected to confess, and make amends for a crime they did not commit. Which is wlfat compliance with the allies’ demands would be taken to mean—a confession. We, in America, would feel far more comfortable over the situation if we had had a little more genuine light thrown on it instead of the deluge of conflicting propaganda trom sources bent upon crushing the nationalist movement now on in China. We are with our Government, as a matter of course, lock, stock and barrel, in any just cause. But in enterprises such as this, fraught as it is with unimaginable consequences to our country and the world at large, when even peace itself is in the balance, our motto must be: “Be sure you are right, then go ahead.”

Used to Miracles We are used to miracles, in these days, and we hardly pay any attention to them any more. Perfection of the television apparatus, by which a man speaking over the telephone can see the face of the man at the other end of the line, in a distant city, is one of the most amazing things that modern science has done. But we’re used to it. It fails to excite us. In * a few years’ time the device may be in general use: if it is, probably we will take it as a matter of course and cuss the phone company if the pictures we see are the least bit blurred. Science has made us just a bit hard-boiled. Hard to Sympathize New York's new “clean stage” law, just signed by Governor Smith, is about as stringent & bit of legislation as any State has passed in years. It provides that aiiy theater in which is shown a play or revue that is adjudged immoral may be padlocked for a solid year. This seems a bit too steep. It is not hard to see where it might work real injustice. But it is pretty hard to arouse much sympathy for the New York theater owners. For years they have been skating just as close to the line as they could. This new law is a result of their own sins. We ought to be sorry for them; but somehow we aren’t. The next time your friends prorose a questionnaire just ask them why a golf ball never reaches the green on the first shot and always goes over on the second. Canadian milk has been found unsafe to drink What in the world is a man to drinks in Canada, anyhow? / Benito Mussolini declared vehemently that no mail ever became world-famous while wearing long whiskers.

The Closed Shop for Lawyers

■By N. D. Cochran

California lias established a lawyers’ union by legislative enactment. While the open shop is still popular for labor —especially in Los Angeles—the entire State henceforth will have a closed shop for lawyers. The legislature has passed and the governor has signed a bill creating the “State Bar of California,” in which every person entitled to practice law in the state courts automobatically becomes a member. A board of fifteen governors will be nominated by petition from 'the ranks of the profession and then elected. This board, with the approval of the Supreme Court, will determine the qualifications of applicants and select a committee of seven to pass on applications by recommendations to the Supreme Court. The reason given for this law is dissatisfaction of the State bar and the public with widespread shyster practice. An interesting experiment in government. Here tofore membership in lawyers’ unions, or Bar Associations, has been voluntary—and hasn't amounted to much, because the bar associations were more ornamental than useful. They are controlled, as a rule, by the older and well-established members of the profession generally those known as corporation lawyers. But they have afforded little or no protection to the public from shyster lawyers. Probably that was because all the shyster lawyers were not poor ones. Anyhow, disbarment for skinning clients was a punishment seldom inflicted by these lawyers’ unions. In that they were much like other unions, including labor unions. The public is so ignorant of the law and so helpless when it gets into the hands, or clutches, of lawyers that it was easy picking when it happened to fall into the hands of shysters. Properly conducted, this California lawyers’ union, in connection with the Supreme Court, ought to be able to protect a witness and innocent public from legal sharks. If all lawyers have to belong and lose caste and hence business, when fired from the union, there would be public protection in this power of the lawyers’ union. But there is danger in this power just the same. It makes it possible for a reactionary bosslsm in the union to put a lawyer out of business if his political, social or economic opinions don’t suit the bosses of the union and the Supreme Court. And in many States, Supreme Courts are made up of reactionary old fossils who live in the past and are idolators of tradition and authority. Nevertheless there are great possibilities in this lawyers’ union. If it works in California similar laws may be enacted instituting self-governorment of docters, dentists, preachers, bricklayers and newspaper editors.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Says: Men Must Feel the Power of the Wind to Realize What It Can Be Like

Those who have been through a tornado can easily picture what has happened at Rockstrtags, Texas. Those who have not will find it impossible. Men must feel the power of the wind to realize what it can be like. Straws driven into tree trunks, babies picked up and carried for a hundred yards without injury, houses crumpled like paper boxes, great tanks turned on their sides and rolled across the prairie—such freaks are incredible unless one has seen them. No wonder the old boys took refuge in superstition, or that people of later and more enlightened ages whispered of sin and an angry God. Preventable Disasters Such disasters as occurred at Rocksprings are a part of nature’s scheme. Unable to prevent them, the best we can do is to take precautions. This is not true of other elements of destruction which we tolerate. Last Wednesday seven children were killed by motor vehicles in New York. It is not true, perhaps, that the drivers were wholly to blame, but It is true that some human being was. Each and every one of these fatalities might have been prevented. Move Will Fail The Cantonese will send a sharp note to England and the United States, we are informed, but a conciliatory one to Japan. It is their obvious design to split the united front, but quite too obvious to work. " hether a united front was desirable to begin with, it has been formed, and such thin tactics will only serve to make it solid.-r. Fruits of Dispute reater Importance not only to the Cantonese, but to the rest of the world, is the fact that they have been spilt wide open by the Bolshevist influence. Their recent reverses are undoubtedly due to n tragic disagreement among their own leaders. The great powers will get relief and China will get a bunch of unscrupulous war lords in control. For a period, times will be good once more for tho exploiter and the concessionaire, and because this Government has "cooperated” It will be blessed with a split in the pot. " e are defying the laws of destiny, however, if we assume that China will not come out in the end as completely free and independent, or that the bulk of Asia will not follow suit. The system of colonization and conquest by which Europe has grabbed most of the world and that paternalistic attitude by which America is seeking to dominate a large part of it, is about t 0 become a memory. Plenty of Time w ll. let us play hall and he merry. It takes a long while for the laws of destiny to function through the rise and fall of etnpi res. Resides, spo rt of a clean and harmless character, serves to make people a little saner by teaching them not to be too serious. America can forget her bigger worries in the bleachers and And, perhaps, that they weren’t so big as she imagined in the process. The frame of mind that people are in has a lot to do with trouble fhey cannot only bring it about! but make it worse by thinking about it. f On the other hand, ;t sometimes irons itself out when let alone. Danger in Brooding Brooding is a terrific factor in life, whether applied to the individual or to nations. It is probably more responsible than any other single agent for the increased number of student suicides. It was certainly more responsible than any other single clement for the World War. Germany brooded over what Eng land was achieving and over the possibility of stopping it by violent means. Other European countries suffered from the same affliction, though to a lesser degree. Nations reed publicity to relieve the pressure of their Inward feelings and the children need the privilege of talking frankly to older people whom they can trust. Safety Vaives No doubt we spend too much time and money on baseball, golf and kindred sports, but they are wonderful safety valves. No ono can guess what would happen if we had to bottle up our excess enegry and spare time. Asa matter of fact, we couldn’t bottle it up. But for the opportunity to let off steam as we do, there would probably be an explosion on the inside, or a disposition to raise more Cain on the outside. Seeds of Trouble Depressed nations form a natural basis for revolt or imperialism In nations, and for perversion of crime in individuals.

The ‘Blues’ Seem to Be the Fashion Just Now in the Land of Jazz Melody

The word “blue'’ seems to be the magic word in many of the new songs of the day. We all know that Irving Berlin crashed in with another after marriage success, known as "Blue Skies." We hear much about blue skies, sand and blue and about every other use of the word "blue.” It seems to me as I play these tunes on the various phonograph records, that orchestra leaders are getting arrangements which nre more tantalizing, more harmony and even better rhythm. Os the new songs having the term blue in 'em, I rather fell in love with “Sad ’N Blue” as played by Lou Golds’ Society Orchestra. Here you have the thought that a fellow Is mighty sad and blue, because he is always thinking of a certain girl. The chorus Is put over in duet form and you have in this record corking good banjo and piano work. On the other side you have the Okeh Melodians playing. “I Want To Be Miles Away From Everyone.” and the rebound on that idea is a blue one. because this fellow just wants "to be a little closer to you.” That sad and longing feeling is there both in the lyrics and the melody. The saxophone work is noteworthy. There is another-tune, “It All Depends On You,” played by the Okeh Melodians. This has a sort of a ballad blue effect, or struck me that way. On the other side you have the Okeh Melodians doing a mighty fine job with “Moonbeams, Kiss Her For Me.” The idea is that a fellow sings out to the moonbeans to steal into the bedroom of his sweetie and kiss her for him. A rather novel idea and beautifully put over on this Okeh. You know I am rather strong on

You Have a Splendid Friend in John Owen

By Walter D. Hickman Howdy! Thought you would like to meet John Owen of England. Business: A novelist who Is practically unknown in this country. His latest: “The Giant Os Oldborne,” published by Houghton Mifflin Company. Here Is a psychological study of a man who was actually a giant of enormous size and to this human mountain was added a soul as sensitive as a child. Daniel Windmill Is the youthful giant and the strange hero of this extremely well written story. Am sure that you will agree with me that the author, John Owen, is an individual thinker because he has turned out a story which is as different as Tuesday’s hash is from Thursday’s. Never bumped into any of the writings of John Owen until his American publisher sent me a copy. Will tell you right now that “The Giant of Oldborne” is a distinguished novel and one which will appeal to the more serious reader. It is not food for the alleged highbrow, but anew and splendid experience In literature. The author permits the reader to understand the sensitive soul of this giant—the object of nearly every joke and jest in his village. He was as timid as he was tall. At times he is a physical coward, but fine love and understanding prevented

the idea of having music for the seasons in the home. Have just played “Magic Flute,” as sung by Elizabeth Rethberg. The number is "Hours of Joy Forever Banished.” This may be not the Easter soirit, but it is certainly music of the better sort. On the other side you have “Oh, Why Delay So Long,” from Mozart’s "Marriage of Figaro.” These two numbers are put over in Rethberg's clearest and best style. You have an orchestra background in both numbers. Some years ago, I raved over Misliel I’iastro as a violinist. He has met a certain demand of the day by doing a two part record of "Zlgeunerweiscn,” which is a collection of Gypsy airs done in that haunting a id fiery spirit of the violinist. Maurice Nadelle is at the piano. Here is haunting music, brilliantly projected. Since “In A Little Spanish Town” knocked the world a twister, it is to be expected that composers attempt to keep the sticcessful Spanish atmosphere. You have a pretty good attempt in “Coronado Nights,” as played by Ernie Golden and his Hotel McAlpin Orchestra. Here is that soft crooning melody which is certainly a date night aid. On the other side you have the l’ark Lane Orchestra playing a melody with a pretty title, “I'm Just A Stone’s Throw From Paradise.” The Golden Orchestra, the Park Lane, Piastro and Rethberg are on Brunswick records. One would expect Ted Lewis to work the old blue idea up in a real blue fashion. This clown of melody, often sad and blue in song, is represented in the blue wave with “Wistful And Blue.” Ted is very wistful and blue in this number because the memory of a girl upsets him.

The Nagyfys are entertainers, who are “Defying Nature’s Laws.” Angel and Fuller are providing "Music and Chatter” in, their laughing bit. Chelm St. Orr is an armless man who accomplishes things with his ieet that ordinary people would do with their hands. He plays the trombone, gives a shooting exhibition, and deals in carpentry. His brother plays the saxophone in the act called “Feet-ology.” Also, Frank and Teddy Sabini in “I Quit.” “Arizona Bound” is the film of the West starring Betty Jewel and Gary Cooper. Pathe News, a comedy and topics of the day are also shown.

often asked him if it was raining way up there. His great height prevented him from being any fellow’s playmate just as his sensitive soul did. He was always doing everything wrong. He couldn’t hold a job on a farm because his strength suddenly left him. He even couldn’t raise chickens well enough to support his widowed mother. He loved to go into the woods and talk with his Maker and the flowers and the trees It w r as there in the forest that nature became his playmate. And when Daniel fell in love he picked the wrong girl—a worthless nobody who played with his finer nature. But he loved her. And then the blow to his soul. He discovered that he had no place in the world, except to be a freak in a traveling museum or show. He was just a freak to the world, nothing more than a human mountain to be gazed upon by a wide mouthed public. Just a Freak He became a circus sideshow freak so that his mother need not work so hard. He became a freak with the thought that he could support the girl he loved. The girl was untrue to him and married a worthless fellow. His mother died. His girl’s husband paid the penalty to the State for a high crime. Our giant saw release from being a freak. He married the girl, but duty kept him a freak in the circus so she might have pretty things. But the giant kept faith in his God. And so the giant went to sleep forever under the trees in the forest that he loved. The secret of the greatness of the story rests in the way the author has mirrored the soul of this lonely giant.

If the suit had contained either a Jack or a Ten, the King would be the opening lead; but without the third honor it is the fourth best. No. 10. Against a Spade, West being strong in trumps, should not lead a singleton. The best suit should be opened and, against a suit contract, the King should be led from King, Queen and others, No. 11, Against a three Hearts, it may take desperate measures to save game; the singleton lead may result disastrously, yet with short trumps it is most apt to accomplish the desired result. The King of Diamonds is a close second choice. No. 32, Against a Diamond contract, being long in trumps, the singleton lead is not to be considered and a four-card suit is better than a three-carder as, with length in trumps, it is advisable to establish a suit.
