The Pay of Judges Before they decide to raise the pay of the numerous judges in this county from $7,000 to SIO,OOO a year, the county commissioners might inquire both as to the necessity and the benefits from such a change. Raising salaries was the favorite pastime of the Legislature and most raises were put through as the result of trades and bargains. Lake County decided that it could hire better judges if it paid them more money. It got permission to spend its money if it wished. That started it. The Supreme Court judges were taken care of in one of those measures sent to the governor in the final days of the session. The bill got to the governor after the time which the constitution says no measures shall be sent to him. 6f course Marion County legislators, belonging to the machine, got through the measure which permits the county commissioners to increase the pay of judges. If the people were assured they would get either a better brand of justice or speedier justice, there would probably be no objection to paying more for it. But the judges who will benefit from this increase were all elected at a salary of $7,500 a year. They wanted the place at that salary. Most of them spent considerable effort to secure these places and the dignity that goes with them. No one of them objected that the pay was too low and so far as the record shows, no one of them had to he forced to accept. The argument in Lake County that it was unable to get men of the high standard it wants at the salary it paid does not apply in this county. If that were the object of increasing salaries in this county, the proper time to make that increase is about two year hence when primaries will be held to nominate candidates. Possibly the present judges are worth more money. They did not raise the question asked for votes. Compared with salaries paid for other services, both in public office and in private industry in this city, there are many who will see no great imposition in the present salary paid for justice as it is dealt out in this county. If the people are in that mood to pay more on the ground that high salaries will bring them better and speedier justice by attracting better qualified men to the bench, the time to make that change is when it is possible to obtain the men the people want and who may not now accept. It may be significant that no judge has resigned ii this county on the ground that he has been . underpaid. The Proper Protest One very sincere group of women, intent on destroying the evils of alcohol, has officially gone on record as protesting against the action of Attorney General Gilliom in breaking the law to save the life of hiat little boy. It might be suggested that the proper place to make their protest is to Prosecuting Attorney Remy, who has authority to file affidavits, and who can bring the whole question to the people by attempting to send this State officer to jail for his act. A charge against the Governor of the State, who, according to the open letter of the attorney general also obtained whisky when his wife was in ; serious danger, would emphasize the issue. For while the resolution of the W. C. T. U. is somewhat vague as to whether its protest is against the use of whisky for medicinal purposes or the open letter of Mr. Gilliom, it may be taken for granted that it was meant as a protest against, the violation of the law rather than the admission. Nothing but praise can be given to the action of Mr. Gilliom in openly telling the people the facts in his lease and in the home of the Governor and calling attention to the fact that he had ben forced to become a lawbreaker in order to follow the advice of skilled physicians to whom he had entrusted the lives of his boys. He might have remained silent and hidden the fact—as thousands of others have remained silent and shamed. If the attitude of the majority of people is that it is better that some die, or that all become patrons of bootleggers in emergencies and risk imprisonment, then the law should stand as it is and men who save lives by following advice of physicians should be sent to jail when caught. If the view of the majority is different, the law should be changed. There can be no escape from one of two courses. Either the present law should be changed or the attorney general and Governor should be prosecuted. The local women have high authority for their attitude of protest. John Roach Straton openly states that it would have been better to let this little boy of Mr. Gilliom and the wife of the Governor die than to have had the law broken. That is logical, even if it is cruel. Those who really believe this to be the proper attitude have a clear and open course. A parade headed by Rev. E. S. Shumaker should journey to the office of Mr, Remy and demand warrants. Those who believe differently might parade to the Governor’s office and ask him to break his silence. Improving Europe’s Teeth George Eastman, the American philanthropist who recently gave a million and a half to improve the practice of dentistry in England, could not have found any better cause for support than that he chose. Americans, so accustomed to drop into the dentist's office at the first symptom of a toothache, do not appreciate how far behind is the practice of dentistry in Europe. Even Germany, a leader in modern medical science, has not equaled the American progress in dentistry, and it will be remembered that the German kaiser had an American dentist who looked after the once-royal mouth. No country in the wofrd has better teeth than America, and in pansing on our knowledge of dentistry the Eastman foundation is strengthening the entente cordial no small degree.

Let the People Know Eight months ago, when D. C. Stephenson first made his claim that he had documentary evidence of political corruption and would produce it, The Times demanded that he be permitted to see newspaper men and six State Senators who were interested. At that time every official in the State who had any power over this famous convict was much more interested in preventing Stephenson from being seen than they were in his evidence. The activities, actions and silence of officials did more to convince the people of this State that Stephenson had something to rdveal than did his own statement which W’as smuggled from the prison. Had the Governor or the prison board at that time shown the slightest inclination to assist, in the inquiry, Indiana, would have escaped much of the evil reputation it received because of these charges and the incidents that followed. When Stephenson, in his application to the Governor for a temporary parole, made grave charges against the trustees of the prison, The Times suggested that the trustees, if they wished to escape the same suspicion which was invited months ago, should invite the State Board of Charities to make an inquiry. The trustees have yielded to that demand. They have asked that this board investigate the Stephencon charge that, he is being treated brutally, that his life is in danger, that he is being heid under such close espionage, that he is unable to talk to his own lawyers without being hampered in his appeal. That action will meet with public approval—if the Board of Charities, when it makes its inquiry, permits the public to look in on its investigation. If there should be a secret inquiry by this board, if there should be the slightest evidence that the same old policy of secrecy is to be followed, the public will be suspicious, and rightfully so, as they were eight months ago. This investigation must be out in the open. It is lime to supplant suspicion with facts. And the people have a right to know the facts. Is Mussolini Mad? Os world wide interest and equally vast significance Dictator Benito Mussolini’s latest speech in Rome setting himself up as ruler-for-life in Italy. The world has already been told of the dictator’s dreams of anew and mightier Roman empiire. Today ha tells us that within the next ten years he will have at his command a powerful air force, a great navy and an army 5,000,000 strong, with which io make Italy’s voice heard and her demands respected. And he will be supreme over all. Startlingly frank, and for all mankind to hear, this mad ruler flouts all the proposed schemes for peace by arbitration and publicly proclaims for plans for a future Italy armed to the very teeth. Here is fair warning to the world. Not a word about the king. Victor Emmanuel 111 might never have been born, so little did he count in the Duce s discourse before the Roman Chamber of Deputies. While as for the Italian people, they counted for even less, if possible, than the king. If once he had thought of retiring from power at. the end of four or five years, he said, he enteriained that thought no longer. “I must assume the task of governing the Italian people ten or fifteen years more," he cried, and then silencing the applause with an imperious gesture, he added, "my successor has not yet been born.” Eyewitnesses tell us that Italy has probably witnessed no such scene nor heard a comparable oration since the classical figures of the ancient Roman senators stalked the forum and made that immortal welkin ring. Seldom, if ever, in modern times, we are told, lias the Italian language been used with more telling < ffect. ♦For two hours and a half the Duce held his audience spellbound or lifted them to their feet with his outbursts. His voice sometimes came in whispers. Sometimes it reverberated back from the chamber walls like thunder, or crackled like bursts from a machine gun. A dramatic figure, a born'actor, a master of epigram, ambitious as Napoleon, with the Caesars as model and with utmost confidence in the Star of Destiny, one may well ask: “Where is this man headed? What may he not do to Italy and Europe?” Already King Victor Emmanuel is but a dimly discerned shadow in an uncertain background, more ot a memory than something that actually exists. A little more and he will disappear altogether. One more public speech and Italy may find herself hailmg Benito I, emperor of anew Roman empire and founder of anew dynasty. Ever since the former day laborer flashed across the European sky as master of Italy, he has been doing unexpected things. Now he has surpassed himself, startling even those who know him best. His now famous declaration of Thursday May 26, presents (he world with a figure which makes the saber-rattling kaiser of pre-war days look like a little lad in a nursery playing with a tin sword. In such a man the peace makers of Geneva, Locarno and Thoiry have their hands full. And that puts It mildly.

A widow bought a dog for her 14-year-old sok.. She was called away from her home. She placed her son in the care of neighbors and sent the dog to an Minimal hospital. The boy told the neighbors that the dog was being mistretted at the animal hospital and persuaded them to let him have it. Ho took the dog to the neighbor’s home, and while there it bit a 17-month-old infant severely. IVhen the mother returned ftom her trip she was sued for damages on account of injuries to the infant, it being claimed that she was responsible as keeper of the dog. She contended that she coul<ln tbe held responsible because she had taken care to place the dog in safekeeping before going away, and that she had nothing to do with the fact that the dog was later released and bit the infant. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Appeals of A irglnia held wheh the boy, who owned the dog, took it from the dog hospital he became the keeper, and that consequently the mother was not liable for the injuries inflicted upon the infant by the d °S. |

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Say*: Communism and Communist Propaganda Have Become Convenient Explanations for Most Anything We Don’t Like.

By M. E. Tracy Premier Baldwin says that England’s break with Russia does not mean or imply war. It is like saying that it does not mean or imply trouble to call a man a liar and kick him out of office. Premier Baldwin is no longer able to say with assurance what the ibreak means. The play has passed out of his hands. So far as English politics is concerned, the maneuver has been carried out with entire success. So far as world politics is concerned, it will presently become a part of the Asiatic situation. • Lloyd George Fears Lloyd George appraises the break with Russia as the most important diplomatic action since the war as one of the gravest steps ever taken by his country, and as a hazardous experiment. Time was when not only England, but the whole civilized world set much store by the words of this little Welshman. Now they are scorned. n->t because he is less of a. man or a thinker, but because politics has placed him in the minority. In Nut Shell Let us strip the issue of excuses and explanations and see what it involves. Let us begin by admitting that more or leas communist propaganda has found its way into England and other countries, whether by direct connivance of the Soviet or not. Let us go farther and admit that tire disciples of Communism are doing what they can and will continue to do what they can to spread Communist propaganda, and that the Soviet government is inclined to back them up. Let us admit too, that Communism is abhorrent to England and most other nations. Having admitted so much, what is the answer? Does it necessarily follow that England is in danger of becoming Communistic; that the United States is threatened with revolution, that the civilized world is likely to blow up?

World’s Punching Bag Communism and Communist propaganda. have become convenient explanations for most anything we don’t like. Real estate men tell Mayor Walket that the exemption of low priced tenements from taxation is dangerous because it smacks of Communism. those opjxised to Government operation of Muscle Shoals say that it is manifestation of Communistic influence, and those opposed to farm relief say the same thing. The civilized world is given to a mood where it cannot find much of a cause for any trouble outside of Russia, or think of a remedy that does not begin with the repression of "Red” propaganda. It is more than possible that British labor would le. discontented if there were a tsar instead of a soviet at Moscow, that a fur strike would have occurred in New York and that the Chinese situation would be twice as bad as it is. it is even possible England would visualize Russia as just as much a rival in Asia and that central Europe would stand in just as great a fear of Russian invasion. Why England Fears Most of the antagonism toward Russia in the United States is academic, based on-the principles and form of government the Russian people have adopted. This is not so true of England and European antagonism. England and Europe are concerned with other things than political doctrine. To them Russia looms large on the Eastern horizon, not because of communism, but because she is Russia—the Russia of Peter, of Catherine 11, of Alexander I. Neither is her spying, her intriguing and her barnstorming the greatest cause or alarm, though they furnish the best basis of campaigning for American sympathy. England and Europe are playing the same old game. The tricks and byplays that have been held in abeyance since 1914 are coming to the surface again, and the rivalry for world dominion that brought on the great >var is making a reappearance. Imperialism at the Root English imperialism, suave and plausible as ever, is pretending to play unimportant cards for small stakes, but is thinking 20 years ahead. ’ Admiring its robust attitude as we must, we should not be fooled by false notions. English imperialism has no intention °f relinquishing its hold on China, or of allowing anything to interfere with its preponderant influence in southern Asia. It accepts the Russia challenge, not as one of Communism versus Democracy, but as empire versus empire, and it breaks with Russia, not to /intimidate the few propagandists it could have jailed without difficulty, but to square the issue.

We Must Be Careful Theoreticaly, the American people have no interest in this struggle for control of the Far East, but practically they stand a good chance of being drawn into it. That is why they should be on guard and pay careful attention to every little move that is made. It will be easy enough for them to identify and resist Communistic propaganda, but it will not be so easy for them to identify and resist propaganda from the other side.

Views of Other Papers

It Came Home <Nt w York Ermine Wordi The Attorney Tenoral of Indiana in a letter to the Governor proposes the repeal if the barbarous law ifi that State prohibiting the use of liquor for medicinal purposes—and thereon bangs a talo of fanatacism gone raving mad. and of hyitocrisy and dishonesty the most glaring. Such prohibition as is enjoined by the national law did not measure up to the fanatic extreme of the Anti-Saloon League's demand in that State. Not only was liquor banned as a leverage, but it was made a crime for a physician to use liquor when necessary to save a human life. A more monstrous and contemptible measure was never dictated by the mind of madman or fool. Os course it has been violated thousands of times. When liquor is thought necessary by competent medical authority to save a life the family of the patient has violated the law without shame and in a spirit of projior defiance, and the physician who has hesitated to perform his duty of saving life his been unlit to he trusted. ' But the Anti-Saloon League, the hypocrites of the Indiana Legislature and the knaves in office have persistently refused to blot this inhuman and criminal law from the statutes. What has happened? The Attorney General's sons were stricken with typhoid fever and lie was 1 informed that whisky was necessary to save them. He unhesitatingly went out and got the whisky and violated the law. The wife of Governor Jackson had pneumonia and this official did not care how many idiotic laws were on the statute, written there by his associates, and lie too violated the law. Commenting on these incidents the Attorney General says in his letter to the Governor: ‘ You and I procured the needed whisky from friends who were recretly preserving it for just'such anticipated emergencies in their own households, risking all the while discovery and imprisonment, because of such mere possession. We had a natural right, indeed a supreme duty, to save the lives of our dear ones by any means available, just as the lowliest and poorest citizen has a right equally precious to him and a duty no less compelling. No government and no law can justly interfere with that right and duty." i Well said, indeed, and yet It was not until these high officials, champions of prohibition, found this bar ha rous act prohibiting the preservation of the lives of their own that the discovery was made that “the lowliest and poorest citizen” has a “natural right” and a “supreme duty” in such cases to kick that feature of the law into a cocked hat. It makes all the difference whose ox Is gored. The fanatic is willing to sacrifice the lives of all his friends and neighbors to his intolerance and idiocy, but when his own ‘family is Involved he sees a light. While the national law is not so extreme as that of Indiana it does interfere with physicians in the performance of their “natural right” and "supreme duty,” and there is no duty so incumbent on the medical profession ns that it shall demand, when Congress meets, that thisvbarbarous interference shall step. Life and Liquor (South Bend News Times' It is to he presumed that the “Rev.” Dr. E. S. Shumaker, with that excess of piety for which he is notorious, will now demand the jailing of Governor Ed Jackson, Mrs. Jackson, the physicians who attended her, qnd the friend who supplied n certain quantity of whisky by means of which Mrs. Jackson's life was saved. That is the law. It. Is the Indiana law. Even the Governor of the State and his Attorney General are amenable to the law. That part of th£ law which forbids the issuance of liquor prescriptions even to save life, is Shumaker’s law. It. was written into the tstatutes by Shumaker and his political gang. Every attempt, in the interest of humanity, to strike it from the books has,met with the same bigoted, intolerant obstruction by Shumaker. It is Shumaker's philosophy rhat death Is preferable to saving the life of a littte child, if the instrument to save life must he alcohol. It is out of this philosophy that he has made himself a fat living, and he proposes to stick to it regardless of how many lives are lost. It is Shumaker's philosophy, as well, that it is "moral” to commit governmental murder, through poisoned alcohol. He calls these murdered men “suicides.” It will be recalled that about'a year ago Attorney General Arthur Gilliom was forced to resort to the administration of liquor to save his child. In doing so, be was forced to break Shumaker’s law. But Shumaker, who believes there is no law above his — even the law of parent love—discovered this grievous episode on criminality through one of his snoopers. He was insistent that the principals in this “crime” be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Now, unless he demands as well' the prosecution of the Governor and those concerned in the present incident, he will not be living up to bis inhuman reputation as the dictator of morals for the State of Indiana. It is worthy of remark that in both of these cases, the men who felt the life of their beloved slipping away did not stop to argue the point of morals or crime. They did what any sane, normal person would do. They obtaiTiedy the whisky, saved the lives and, presumably, had clear and rejoicing consciences afterward. But Shumaker would let a wife or child die! It ia this part of Shumaker's law that makes a laughing stock of Indiana. It is a law wlj.cd 1 beklisobeyed by any citizen of the State, and rightly so. And it is incidents like this that prove conclusively that divine laws, or the laws of nature transcend all the petty, ridiculous inhuman statutes concocted by zealots like the paid reformer, Shumaker. Indiana would 'have been better off if - it had never had a D. C. Stephenson to delude her good citizens and rob them of their sanity. Indiana would be still better off .without a Shumaker, fattening on ignorance and intolerance, feeding on fraudulent piety, and waxing great on un-Christian bigotry.

Contract, South (Dealer) one No Trump. The play to the first trick: West, Spade Queen: North, Spado King: East, Spade 8; South, Spade 4. The play of trick 2 should be: North, Club Jock: East,, Club 2; South, Club Ten; West, Club 7. Declarer wins the first trick in Dummy because It. is advantageous to lead at once from that hand: and on the second trick, desiring to lead, both Clubs and diamonds from Dummy, selects the Club as it is the longer suit. With eight Clubs in the two hands the King should be finessed, and any Club lead from Dummy will accomplish that purpose: but If the finesse be successful it is important that Clubs be continued without transferring the lead from Dummy and thereby making it necessary for Dummy to expend another entry • to regain it. Declarer consequently leads the Jack of Clubs from Dummy and, the King not covering, ’plays tho Ten from the Closed Hand so that the Club load mays he continued from Dummy as often as necessary without the expenditure of another entry from D' liuny to accomplish that purpose. i t has four Clubs, so it is post- 1 ' from East's viewpoint that South lias only three: in such case do not cover an honor with an honor.)
