McCardle, Humorist Inasmuch as the people have received little else from the public service commission, they are entitled to a laugh. Fortunately the chairman of the commission, John McCardle, furnishes the opportunity in his defense of the commission which he makes in speeches before luncheon clubs over the State. His argument is that inasmuch as the price of electricity is lower than it was in 1913, the commission is a very efficient and alert public servant and Is responsible. A reader of The Times suggests that the comtnlcsion should also take credit for reducing the price of Ford cars and other automobiles. That reader, of course, was not fooled by the fcpecious argument of tho head of a commission branded by the House of Representatives as servants Os the utility companies. The point Is not whether there has been reduction of rates in any city but whether the utilities, which are partners cf the communities in which they operate and which are given a monopoly, aro forced to deliver electricity and water and telephone service and gas at rates which give them a fair return and only a fair return. Every industry has made great advances in the past fifteen years in the matter of efficiency. This has been the era of quantitive production and in no Industry has greater advance been made than in the manufacture of electric power. Itr that period has come the great central station Instead of the small power house. It would be more convincing if Mr. McCardle Would point to one incident where the alertness and energy of the commission had secured for the people eome one reduction, where its study of any given Bitnation had resulted in an actual saving to the people or had curbed the capacity of the utility corporations. It is true that the Federal Courts have been a great, factor in piling up greater burdens upon the people and have helped tremendously In giving these utilities greater profits. Rulings of courts have helped to make the people of this country pay war prices in peace time and, may permit these utilities to continue to collect for the results of the war. But this particular commission has been distinguished only for its tenderness for the corporations, , * The members of the Legislature, in a last moment gesture, condemned its members in unmeasured terfns. They did that after the very mem' bers who voted for the censure had followed the persuasions of the utility lobbyists and had failed to enact any legislation that might have helped the people escape. But If this commission were all that its chairman claimed for it, the chairman lost his chance for ft public vindication when he did not demand, when the open charge was made that it was appointed in return for a $19,000 contribution to the campaign . fund of Governor Jackson, that the Legislature make an Investigation. That was a charge in which Chairman McCardle took no official interest. It is rather late, now that the Legislature is over, to enter a defense. Farmers The secretary of agriculture has just published figures that should challenge the attention of e%ctj Civilized American. K They show’ that American farms lost 649,000 persons to the cities in 1926, the largest loss ever recorded for one year. The present farm population Is given as 27,892,000 as against 31,614,000 in 1920. In six years our farms have lost nearly four million persons, and the loss proceeds faster than ever. It is a great drift and great tragedy that is thus recorded. Behind the drift is the beckoning finger of the city, with its life, movement and excitement. Behind it is the ambition and restlessness of youth, leaving the farm to make its own way, and the disillusion of the retired farmer, turning his home oter to renters who now operate four out of ten of our farms. ' Behind it —move important than all is the relentless economic trend which has made it imposCible for millions, even of those who have stuck to the farm, to win a decent living, while growing the food the rest of us eat and the clothing we wear. Farm living has come to mean an average family Income of S6OO to S7OO a year. Note the word family: the farmer, his wife, sons and daughters have that combined income. Theirs jointly, too, Is-the worry and the mortgage and the drop in the price of wheat and corn and livestock, making what they raise, in terms of what they get for it, worth less now than for many years. Tt is the trend, in short, which led Professor Dodd of the University of Chicago to predict in this newspaper a year ago. the development of an American peasantry unless something is done to check it. It is a trend whose ultimate and tragic chapters may include an agrarian revolt to stave off the end. ' . The responsibility belongs to all of us the political poo hah who jockeys the farmers’ fate to >*in an election, the brainless demagogue who appeals to the farmers’ resentment to win office, the unthinking city dweller, the business man who doesn’t worry about the farmer because his own affairs are going well at the moment, the speculator who gambles in farm products, the middleman who collects more for one handling of the farmers goods than the farmer gets for a full season's labor on the same. All are responsible and all will suffer sooner or later, unless, in some way, a solution is found. —— —v We Should Either Get In or Get Out American armed forces have drawn their first blood in the Nicaraguan war. Twenty-four bluej&cketß fired into a band of fifty Liberals and killed three. t The bluejackets cannot be blamed for this. They were merely carrying out orders. The responsibility rests on Secretary of State Kellogg, whose tragic, misguided policy has resulted in the present situation. Leaving to one side the whole question of whether American intervention in Nicaragua to bolster up the Diaz regime was right or wrong, a grain of ordinary consistency on the part of our secretary of state would put an end to the bloodshed. Long ago the Liberal leader, Dr. Juajt B. Sacasa,

told Scripps-Howard newspapers that under no circumstances would he fight the United States. If that is so and if Washington has definitely made up its mind to back Diaz to the limit ns it quite obviously has Joue, then we should declare all Nicaragua a neutral zone and forbid further fighting therein. Why stand by and see Nicaraguans shoot each other down when, by our own decision, we will admit of only one outcome? Yesterday's dispatches from Nicaragua toid how a train carrying Diaz forces and United States Marines was fired on b*y Liberals. The marines replied with maoTuno guns. “It was explained,’’ the dispatch said, “that the marine W'as sent for the protection of the train and not the Conservative troops." . The explanation quixotic, not to say absurd. If we sandwich in jnarines between Conservatives in this manner it is only a question of time before some of them are killed. And they will be just km dead and the reaction in this country just as great, whether they were dry-nursing some of Diaz's soldiers or only chaperoning a train. There are but two common sense courses vve can follow in Nicaragua. We should either be neutral, as we pretend we are. and let the best man win the war, or we should stop the fighting. To follow’ any other course is to participate in a futile, blood-letting in which sooner or later some of our own will be spilled. $4.62 Worth of Varnish on 66 Cents Worth of Truth The Associated Press seems to be at it again. An A. P. dispatch from Managua to the Washington Post begins: ! “American bluejackets came into armed cojp flict this afternoon with a band of fifty men wearing red hat bands and carrying a red flag. After a brief engagement, the ‘reds’ retreated, leaving three dead.’’ “A band of fifty men wearing red hat bands and carrying a red flag," were merely Liberals. That is ail. Liberals, in the Nicaraguan revolution, up red insignia to distinguish them from the Conservatives, just as you sometimes see the mother of twins dress one in red ribbons and the other in blue so she can readily tell them apart. It so happens, however, that the American public has come to regard the red flag as the symbol of Bolshevism or Communism. And when the word “red" Is used into the bargain, the effect is materially heightened. Every newspaper correspondent knows this. Such being the case why does the Associated Press go out of its way to ring in these words? Why use fourteen w’ords—“a band of fifty men wearing red hat bands and carrying a red flag"—at a cost of $4.02 in cable tolls, when two easily understood words—"fifty Liberals"—would have told it all at a cost of f>6 cents. Recently the Associated Press was hauled over, the coats by iis own clients for putting out a cock-and-bull story about a Mexican fostered Bolshevist “hegemony” rearing its head in Nicaragua. The foregoing seems of a feather—s 4.62 worth of misleading varnish on 66 cents of truth. What Equality Means It is one of the fundamental tenets of our country that all men “are created equal”; and we arc proud of repeating that statement. We might just as well bear in mind, though, that this statement refers to equality of right and opportunity, not of inborn ability. This is emphasized by a report of Prof. if. V. O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin, who has just completed an extended survey of the public school systems of a certain State. He found that the children, far from being “created equal” mentally, were in fact created very unequal. Only 33 per cent of them fell within the normal mental age for the grades in which they were enrolled; 23 per cent were above that mental age, and the remainder were mentally below it. This is worth remembering. We weren't all born alike. Some men will always he born to be leaders and others will always be born to be followers. Our task is to see to it that all are given equal opportunities to-develop the talents that lie within them. That is the extent of it. Keep Your Feet On the Ground It is the easiest thing in the world to allow your heart to dictate to your head; to be carried away by emotions in which reason has no part. But, very often, it is disastrous. Probably you saw in the papers the other day a big photograph of the American marines parading in Shanghai, The picture allowed the faultlessly drilled, soldierly young Americans striding along in regular wartime guise; and at the head of the column was the color guard, with the American flag swelling out in the breeze. * It was an inspiring picture. No American could look at it without feeling a thrill run up and down his spine. That flag means a great deal to all of us; more than we can express. To see it borne at the head of American troops in a distant land is bound to set our hearts beating faster for the moment. But we musn't let this emotion carry us off-our feet. We musn't let the thrill of pride that the picture gives us blind us to the realities of the situation in China. We musn't let it swing us unthinkingly into a state of mind where we, would welcome armed conflict between American troops and the Chinese. The Chinese situation is extremely delicate, loaded with possibilities that that may re-echo for many years to come. Let’s not let the waving of a beautiful flag carry us away so that we lose sight of the deep, involved issues at stake. Let's keep our feet on the ground. The flag and the marching marines are inspiring, to be sure; but let's remember that our chief aim is to settle the whole thing peaceably if it can possibly he done. The authoress of one of Broadway’s ’ banned plays rays that on her first night in jail she gathered material enough for ten plays. Pardon her, Governor, pardon her! Not every bad lie happens on the links.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Mississippi Is Staging One of Worst Disasters of Career.

By M. E. Tracy Two hundred dead, 200 missing, 100,000 homeless and the crest of the flood still far from the sea—the old Mississippi is staging one of the worst disasters in her career. It would be less excusable if she had not warned us time and time again. To a definite extent, the Nation is responsible for this appalling loss of life and property, for the Nation might have prevented it. Case for Damages The United States faces no impossible or unexpected task with regard to the Mississippi. It has known for years what ought to he done, and has had the resources with which to do it. Ts the United States were a private corporation, the relatives of the dead and those who have lost their homes, their stock and their implements, could recover damages at law. The fact that a sovereign State can not he sued is the only thing that saves the Government from having to pay as a railroad or a power company would have to pay, or that permits the Government to neglect doing what is necessary to prevent such a disaster. The Public Pays After thirty-eight days of futile wrangling the Ford-Sapiro case blows up. with the Federal Court broke, Mr. Ford and his chief counsel sick and Sapiro’s counsel charging a frame-up. The case has been hoodooed from the beginning. Nobody has gotten anything out of it thus far. but the lawyers and the public, which can never get anything out of it, pays a large share of the cost. The public has a right to complain at such a useless ar.d wasteful expenditure of its money. It has a right to ask who or what is at fault,vand to demand a remedy. It has a right to do this not only in the interest of economy, but in. the interest of fair play. Significant Step A rigid censorship was applied on all news coming out of Mexico at C o'clock Friday’ night. Taken in connection with a domestic censorship which has already-been in force for several days this is deeply; significant. , Either the Callec government .s afraid to let people know what conditions really arc, or it is taking drastic measurer to r-:U yard its military plans. Unofficially, we h >e been told that revolt exists ir no less than six states, but there is little authentic information by which to measure its strength, or to determine whether it :'s tied together by anything like r. common cause and a common leadership. Official dispatches have conveyed the impression that while Mexico was suffering a great deal of sporadic banditry, nothing existed that could be described as revolution. Efficient Brutality The train outrage which occurred at Limon on Tuesday was enough to show that conditions were more serious then they had been represented. If an affair of unutterable brutality, it was also an affair of organization and efficiency. You simply cannot attribute such a crime to sporadic banditry. The force which derailed that train, killed a military guard of fifty-two soldiers and got away with 230,000 pesos must have been not only of considerable size, but well armed and well disciplined. Issue a Flop Sir Charles Higham says that President Coolidge & “the first man I have met in the United States whose shoes were shined.” If Sir Charles were not in the advertising business one might take this statement seriously, but ‘since he is, one can only wonder what brand of shoe polish he is trying to promote. lie says that he was surprised when the President talked for twelve of the fifteen minutes they spent together. and again one is forced to make due allowance for his calling, since that is enough to surprise any advertising man. What Brand? New York is full of rumors, speculations and imaginary plots. One report has It that the Marshall letter was a plan designed to open the way for Smith to champion tolerance. This seems incredible, but there is no ground for suspicion that some of Smith's supporters have done what they could to make religion the paramount issue. Col. Patrick H. Callahan, a dry Catholic of Louisville, Ky., charges them flatly with this. He says further that those who would vote for Smith on the ground that he is a Catholic are just as narrow as those who wpukl vote against him on the same groundMeanwhile, and whether it was raised by design or accident, the public's refusal to get excited over it proves that the religious issue has turned out a flop. How ran raw linseed oil be tested for purity? Its purity can be determined by taste and smell. Pure linseed oil has a slightly bitter taste and creates a rasping sensation on the tongue, hut is not nauseating unless adulterated wtih fish oil. rosin oil or mineral oil. A few drops placed between the palms of both hands and rubbed briskly will cause the oil to heat, and if adulterated, the odor will .reveal the presence of fish oil, rosin oil or mineral oiS. Pure raw linseed oil brushed over a piece of glass in thin film will dry in less than seven days.

SHE tenth annual anniversary spring festival concert of the Mendelssohn Choir will be given Monday evening, May 9, at the Murat Theater. The guest artist for the concert will be Lawrence Tibbott, barytone star of the Metropolitan Opera Company, who comes to Indianapolis from New York fresh with laurels of a most successful grand opera season. Elmer Andrew Steffen, conductor of the Mendelssohn Choir, is putting the finishing touches on the 140 or more singers who will appear at the Murat. Under Mr. Steffen's exacting and sympathetic training, the great chorus of men and women is acquiring a degree of dynamic expression seldom reached in the ten years of the choir's arduous work. The precision of attacks and releases, the clarity of diction and purity of intonation are well nigh perfect. In his work, Mr. Steffen is ably assisted in the difficult accompaniments by Paul It. Matthews, organ! ist of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The varied character of the compositionsto be sung at the coming concert will test the full capabilities of the choir in volume, shading and expression. Nine choral numbers will be presented; six of these will be sung by the entire choir: two numbers by the women's choir of sev-enty-five voices and one number by the male section. Mr. Tibbett will present his own recital of songs and operatic numbers. One of the most beautiful choral gems of the concert will be the rendition of Anton Rubenstein's “Seraphic Song” with the choral paraphrase by S. R. Gaines. Two local instrumentalists will assist the choir in the presentation of this number. Boraar Cramer, head of the piano department of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts will play the first piano accompaniment and Thomas Poggiani, violinist, of the Metropolitan School of Music, will play the obbligato parts. The roster of the Choir’s associate members for this tenth anniversary concert season comprises nearly 300 men and women of Indianapolis who are interested in the musical progress of our city and in the maintenance of a fine choral organization.
