' In the Meantime Two weeks or more, say attorneys, "ill I,e 1 quired to discover whether one Janies Armitase is in contempt of the Criminal < out t. The contempt with which he is cliaigt' in a affidavit by the prosecutor is the alleged offer to a member of the grand jury of a sum of money and a city job if he would refuse to vote for indictmcn . no matter what evidence was presented. The indictments referred to were connected with the political probe which the last grand jur> said had produced evidence which should be fur her investigated and which three of the four legal advisors of that jury said should have resulted in indictments last December. Two weeks pass quickly. So do two years, sometimes. And after two years political crimes - are forgiven under that humane provision of law called the statute of limitations. While those two weeks or morq are being taken up with the contempt trial of Armitage the grand jury, which is charged by its predecessor and the court with the duty of investigating these political charges, remains idle. That might mean nothing unless it be remembered that the law provides that while the grand jury is in session no charges may be filed direct by the prosecuting attorney, It must also /be remembered that the political activities which were under investigation must have occurred not later than May, 1925, for the inquiry started before there was any political activity in the November, 1926, election. What the public might think if it should develop that the statute of limitations had become operative while a grand jury is held in waiting for the outcome of this contempt trial, can only be conjectured. Such a situation m,ight demand later explanations, if the public should be satisfied with explanations. . The outstanding fact in the public mind is that Prosecuting Attorney Will Remy, Ralph Kane and former Supreme Court Judge Fred C. Cause are on record in public interviews asserting that the former grand jury had evidence which should have resulted in indictments and that Prosecutor Ilemy can not, nor can these other attorneys who were paid fees from the Governor's fund, file charges while the present grand jury is held, intact. There may be reasons why the simple solution of dismissing the grand jury and permitting lawyers to act, if they desire to act, should not be followed. ~ If (hey fail to act under such conditions, the public will have no difficulty in locating responsibility. If they are uot free to act. there may be at least doubt in the public mind. A Sure Cure for Bolshevism H. G. Wells, eminent Britisher, cries down “Dictator” Mussolini on the ground that Mussolini did not create fascism but, on the other hand, fascism created him. The spirit of fascism, he sajs, “was fully vocal in Italy before the war.” Which is a surprisingly bromidic remark for a journalist, author and historian of Wells’ intelligence to make. * Os course, the spirit of fascism was in Italy before Mussolini appeared on the scene! History offers no single example of an unknown or obscure person suddenly emerging from nowhere to become, in a twinkling, the undisputed leader of millions of people unless those people, consciously or unconsciously. were ready and waiting for a leader. There is no such thing as a one-man revolution. A man may have the eloquence of men and of angels and still not get anywhere if his hearers are not in the mood to accept his preachings. The spirit of revolt must be in the individual souls of the population and for cause, before the would-be revolution maker has a ghost of a chance. The signers of our Declaration of Independence did not make our revolution. They merely vofeed what already was in every American heart. Patrick Henry's “Give ny; liberty or give me death” would have been laughed at hut for the fact that he was expressing what his compatriots all felt but lacked Henry's gift of expression. "Reams of paper and barrels of ink are hewing expended in our country today urging upon us the “red” peril. A lot of good people seem frightfully worried lest communism or Bolshevism overthrow our republic. Still others apparently are afraid of fascism and the possible appearance of an American Mussolini. Somehow we fail utterly to thrill to any sueh menace. The situation makes the man. Undoubtedly we have a Lenin or a Mussolini in our midst today, but neither will get anywhere so long as the way is not paved for him. If our liberty is taken from us; if we become oppressed; if our Government forgets it is of. by and for the people, and becomes, instead, a Government of, by and for the few, then and not until then, will we have need to fear a Lenin or a Mussolini. Paderewski, genius though he is, can not make a bass drum sound like a piano, nor a piano like a bass drum. He can not get out of his piano one note that was not built into it; a single chord that is not waiting there to be brought out by a talented hand. People are like that. They react precisely according to the way they feel inside, not according to the way some outsider te.lis them they ought to feel. If a nation is happy, if it is busy, or if it is even half way well governed, the best that would-be inciters to revolt get is to be called nuts and cranks with an occasional shower of over-ripe hen fruit. Contentment is a Nation's best "antidote against extremists of any and all kinds, it would be more to the point, therefore, were we to spend less time in trying to rouud up and hang our Bolshevists, if any, and more time keeping our country the land of liberty aud justice it started out to be. Permanent Apparently that Georgia gentleman known as Ty Cobb has become one of the permanent features of our national life—something that, like the poor and the saxophone player in the next block, will be always with us. It was many years ago that we first thrilled to

his picturesque deeds. Annually, for some time, the experts have been predicting his early retirement. ButStill he keeps on. Only the other day he pulled a typical Cobb stunt by stealing home while the pitcher held the ball. Hfe must be a fixture. YVe believe that our children will still he watching Ty Cobb play ball. Speaking of Questions and Answers Why is a Nation? Why do people group themselves into what are sometimes called governments instead of going it alone, every one for himself? This may sound foolish in this day and age, but is it? ,\fter thousands of years of governments, humanity is still pretty much divided on the question of what government is for. Dictator Benito Mussolini, for instance, has one theory, the Russian# another and Americans another. And so on. The Mussolini theory- and for that matter —the Russian, is that the individual citizen is nothing, but governments and state everything. The American thpory is that the individual citizen is everything and the Government its servant. Mussolini visions a state as a beautiful swiftly moving galley, efficient as to line and colorful as topsail, every oar in unison. That the people within the ship are slaves in chains, shackled to their benches and without individual liberties, to him seems incidental and of no great importance. The ship as a whole's the thing. The American idea of a state- at least it should be—is a great ship, beautiful and efficient as we can make it. but manned by free men whose indi- # vidual happiness is never to be interfered with so long as the well being of his fellows or the security of the ship itself is not jeopardized. Mussolini’s latest edict, his new “charter of ' iabor," illustrates his views ot' government. The right to strike, to bargain collectively, to boycott, to institute a lockout —in short, all freedom of agreement is taken from capital, labor and professional workers that henceforth they may be controlled I by the state. There is to be a government federation for each of these great divisions of citizens and the state is to be the sole arbiter in all disputes among themselves and between each other. Arbitration is compulsory and failure to toe the mark drawn by the state becomes a crime punish- : able by fine and imprisonment. Mussolini's theory may be lovely enough. Theoretically, lack of friction among the crew should make the ship of'state plow through the waters faster and more steadily. But a slave crew is ever a sullen crew and its efficiency is reduced because it is unhappy and always od the lookout for a chance to ! break away. Sooner or later there always comes a mutiny when not only Ail speed lost but the ship itself, with all on board, is imperiled. That’s something for Skipper Mussolini for the great Italy galley, to ponder before he puts on much j more sail or ventures into far or stormy seas. Let Them All Qualify Secretary Mellon has shown a way for the Coolidge Administration to force the prohibition commissioner to demonstrate his fitness before being appointed permanently to the office. It all came about with the appointment of Roy Haynes as acting prohibition commissioner. The law provides that ail employes of the prohibition bureau must take a civil service examination. except the prohibition commissioner Right now there isn't any prohibition commissioner, because Haynes was appointed assistant commissioner and elevated in only an acting capacity to the higher office. It Haynes continues as acting commissioner until the examinations are held some two months hence, he will be forced to qualify along with all the other prohibition employes. If he is appointed permanent prohibition commissioner before that time he will escape. In order to force all candidates for the commissionership to qualify, Mellon need only to keep the office on a temporary, or acting basis, until examinations for assistant commissioner are held. This niil make Haynes pass a test aloDg with the rest, but this ought not to bother him, considering his many years of experience in the prohibition bureau. Nor ought it to aiarm Wayne B. Wheeler and the Anti-Saloon League. Surely they can not object to a commissioner, who has demonstrated his fitness, by passing a civil service examination. The more we think about the idea the better we like it and we commend it to Secretary Mellon for his consideration. Let’s make all the candidates qualify and pre\ent any talk of politics after the appointment is made. The Lesson of Jimmy Thomas Forty-three years ago a little Welsh boy of nine started to work in the railway shops of a big British railway company. And the other day the wedding of the daughter of that Welshman was attended by the prime minister, a former prime minister and a score of great statesmen, peers and peeresses. Things move slowly in old Britain, but they do move. A career that would have been incredible forty years ago is a fact today. The romance of Jimmy Thomas proves it. I lie little Welsh boy advanced in railroading until he became one of the crack engineers in charge of one of the best trains on his line. Then he became a big man in his union and later went to Parliament, where he soon displayed his talents as a debater. He did big work for his country during the war. Y\ lien the Labor party ran the government a couple of years ago. Thomas was made a member of the cabinet with the portfolio or minister for the colonies. And he was a good one. He was made a fairy councilor. And again he made good. So it’s no wonder all sorts of important people flocked to his daughter's marriage. The lesson is plain. Sterling worth finds its way to the top even in a caste-bound country like England. You "can't keep a good man down.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Says:

Beveridge Finally Will Be Remembered as Author.

By M. E. Tracy Albert J. Beveridge was a good politician and an able Senntor, but he finally will be remembered, because ho wrote “The Life of John Marshall.” John Marshall was one of the few men who really shaped the course of the republic. It was our misfortune rather than his, that no one had properly interpreted his place in American history until Beveridge came along. If it were Beveridge's ambition to add something of constructive value to American politics he certainly did so when he produced this remarkable biography. Minority Protest It is right to save New Orleans even if the flooding of a dozen parishes like that of St. Bernard's is involved. Still it is easy to get the viewpoint of the farmers ami trappers, whose homes are to be wiped out and who are demanding cash in advance. There never was a minority yet but what resented the idea of being sacrificed to help the majority. The fact that these farmers and trappers are willing to take cash, even though they may want a generous amount, represents some progress. Time was when they would have stood on their rights, cash or no cash. Trees and Floods Whatever else may be said of it. the Mississippi has certainly dramatized forestry week. There is a definite connection between its sudden rise and the disappearance of trees from thousands of square of territory along its banks and tributaries. Where the watersheds are covered with forests, rivers rise slowly because it takes the rain a long time to seep through the moss and leaf mold. Where watersheds are barren of forests the rain runs down over them as it does over a roof. Forests not only prevent floods, but they hold rain water in storage for dry seasons. There is more benefit in the preservation of forests than arises from the supply of timber and pulpwood it insures. Nobody Cares Rejection of George Bernard Shaw's portrait by the British Royalj Academy is less significant, perhaps, than is the fact that nobody cares. Caesar arrived at a point where he didn't need the crown to prove he was the foremost man in Rome, and Shaw has arrived at a point where he doesn't need to be trade-marked by any learned society to prove he is the foremost playwright in England. What is more pathetic, the British Royal Academy has arrived at a point where few people take it seriously. New Mexican Policy The Coolidge Administration has clearly changed its attitude toward Mexico. It is now willing to take the Mexican ambassador's word that there will bo no confiscation of American property, except by due process of law. where it was formerly unwilling to take a constitutional provision, a conference report, or even President Cades' word. As the New York YVorld suggests, the Coolidge Administration may have been impressed with Calles’ good faith because of the gentlemanly way he handled the stolen diplomatic notes and papers which fell into his hands. Had he been the anti-American bolshevlst he had been painted he would have published those notes and papers instead of returning them to the American government, as he did, and no one can guess thq trouble that might have resulted. Nerve Not only have both defendants in the Gray-Snyder trial confessed, but their confessions agree in all essential points. For once, the public does not have to guess the details of a. brutal murder, or wonder whether the prosecution has reasoned them out correctly. Men and women who have the hardihood to plan the death of a fellow being and prepare alibis for themselves in advance usually have the hardihood to remain silent if not to persist in the denial of their guilt. ~ As much nerve as it takes to kill a sleeping man in the dark, it probably takes more to stand up in the open and confess it especially after the murderer has lied. Belated Confessions Many a murderer has gone to the chair or the gallows protesting innocence. although his guilt was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt. Some of them have held out until the last moment only to break down and undeceive their misguided friends. One of the most startling and unexpected confessions ever recorded in this country was that of John TV. YY'obster, a Harvard professor, who was convicted of killing Dr. Parkman on circumstantial evidence. The evidence was so circumstantial, indeed, that many people not only doubted Webster's guilt, but whether Dr. Parkman had actually been killed. The case created a furore at the j time, thousands signed petitions for executive clemency, affidavits were presented to the effect that Dr. Parkman had been seen alive after the murder and the impression prevailed that even though guilty, Professor Webster should not be hanged on the evidence against him. Three days before the execution, he confessed.

Tito Schipa, Noted Tenor, Will Open Music Week at Murat Theater Sunday

Music week in Indiencpolis will le ushered in Sunday afternoon at the Murat by Tito Schipa. noted lyric tenor, at a concert under the direction of Ona B. Talbot. Schipa began his early stage training at the age of 7. This is the interesting story he tells of his first experience in opera, where lie was destined to become so famous. “At the age of 7 I literally tumbled into what was to he my life calling. At Lecce, Italy, where I was born, a boy's chorus was needed to sing at the little theater there in ‘Carmen. 1 ‘Do you know other boys who can sing.” the young conductor asked me, after he had heard my voice. Os course I did. Any boy who follows sports as ardently as I did was pretty sure of comrades. “On the night of our first appearance it became like the song, ‘Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here.’ I was little, the trousers they gave me were so long and the shoes so big that I literally tumbled downstairs onto the stage. “We boys sang together that season every night when ‘Carmen’ v,a the opera. Our nightly pay was 20 centesimi. the equivalent of 4 cents. Sometimes the impresario paid us. Sometimes he did not. Perhaps he forgot it. Well, thfe next season he engaged us all again. But on the opening night, just before we went out on the stage, I called a meeting which al! the boys attended. ‘Let's refuse to sing unless the manager promises to pay us after every performance.’ I proposed. By unanimous vote the motion was carried. “After the manager had heard the news we got our 4 cents nightly. To us it meant a victory, for in Italy 4 cents failed to grow on bushes low enough for little boys to pick them. However, the following season the manager staged a comeback. He engaged all the boys but roe; -‘I don't want that strike leader,’ was his ultimatum. “If 4 cents a night had meant an income to me. the joy of singing was bigger still. In tears I went to the young conductor. I had gotten all the boys together for him when he asked me. He had not forgotten it, and he was the ‘lnfluence’ who got me reinstated. The funny part of it i6 that today, as Maestro Polacco, he is the conductor of the Chicago Civic Opera, where I sing 6very season.” NEW SHOW OPENS TODAY AT PALACE Jimmy Allard, a true son of the South, who is known in vaudeville for his southern drawl, has “A Southern Romance” as his musical and dance portion of the Palace

CV'jT \ C Auction oridpv? buJHUfon n Initial Bid of Strong Four-Card Suit Reasonably Safe,

Tim pointer for today is: An initial bid of a strong font card soil is reasonably safe; but (lidding any 4-carder subsequently is fraught with danger. Yesterday’s hand was held by West who had to decide what to do after a declaration by South. 4 A-K.HbT A.Q.|(b.J 0 * ‘ My answer slip reach No. 9. South pass; Y\ est should bid one Spade. No. 10. South one No Trump; West should pass. No. 11. South one Diamond; West should bid one Heart. No. 13. South one Club; YVesi should double. My reasons in support ot these declarations arc; No. 9. YVith a strong Major somi-two-suiter (i. e., a hand containing one strong tour-card Major and one strong five-card Major), hid the high-er-valued first even when it is a four card suit. A five-card suit can be bid subsequently with much more freedom than a four-card suit: therefore with this holding bid one Spade not one Heart. No 10 A pass is the soundest and laration. True, there is ampWw strength for two Hearts, but game at Hearts is not probable and there is a good chance of setting the ad\erse No Trump. Furthermore, the Heart bid may guide the adversaries into a game-going or score-producing Minor. No. 11. A reasonably close ehoice between one Spade and one Heart, but the bid now made is apt to stand; Dealer's bid may keep East from denying. If North obtain the contract, the Heart is the lead that West desires. No. 12. Over a Club hid. the hand has-an attractive two-suit double. If East have four of cither Major, he w ill answer with that suit, which is what West desires. If East answer with a Diamond, West pan bid a Heart, showing that Diamonds will not do ntnl telling East to choose between the Majors. In No. 11. if v\ est double. East is almost sure answer with,two Clubs, and then West would have to bid two Hearts. In No. 12 West can make the same showing with one Heart.

To the Editor. Our attorney general stated., in a speech before the annual institute of the Marion County YV. C. T. U. that prohibition had not been entirely successful because there has been too much dropping of the oars after passage of the Eighteenth Amend ment by those who participated most actively in adding it to the Constitution. He urged his hearers to con tinue educational efforts to make liquor traffic offensive to public morals rather than to the law, and then further stated that vast numbers of our citizens, many of whom pride themselves as belonging to the best, are failing to support this law by voluntary observance. It is also disquieting to know that many be longing to the growing are party to these violations. will, in the end. depend on voluntary observance than on their enforcement, declared the attorney general Prohibition is the most stupendous Government undertaking ever entered into. Honest enforcement and honest voluntary observance will ultimately make it successful- Public officials in Indiana may always be generally relied on to give just as much enforcement as the preponderant sentiment of a community makes possible. The development and maintenance of a proper sentiment. of the people is the surest key to the success of prohibition. YY’e, the people of Indiana must agree that he is quite right, for a public official that w-ill openly combat vice and crime cannot hope to have the support of the element of its people, and. as lias b'-en noticed in the past few years, this pnrticu lar element of people has played a great part in State politics. It is not a question of educating the people to the idea of the moral wrong in drinking liquor, but rather a question of getting all the people of,lndiana to declare themselves at the election polls and taking the power of law enforcement out of the hands of greedy politicians.
