POPULACE SANER THAN RULERS, SAYS WRITER Government Officials Militaristic and Stubborn, Noted Observer Discovers.

Editor * Note: While the American peoplen are ell over their war fever and mellowed by prosperity the governments in the United States. State and national, show signs of “the small beginninga of fascism'’ as exempliflrd in the Amita Whitney conviction. Sacco and Vanzettl cases and other persecutions. This is the impression of Lincoln Steffens, writer, economist and once famous “muckraker," on his return to this country from Italy. In response, to a request he has penned this short impression for readers of The Indianapolis Times. By Lincoln Steffens Just home from a long residence In Italy and France, I think I detect a change in the public mind which the representatives of the people do not represent and may not have observed. The people are liberal, the governments are reactionary. Individuals as I meet them all across the country are easygoing, busy, but reassured; officials are st A -tight and hard as they were when I left, soon after the war. Newspapers are very generally thoughtful, just, often humorous about emotional events\such as. for example, the menace of war in Mexico and of revolution in China. Even reactionary papers have to scold a little the administrations at Washington or in their States for being war-like, so fierce and so foolish. Still in Prison The differe/ce shows itself in the matter of punishing Reds and other “enemies of society.” Sentences pronounced under war hysteria are stilt being enforced. Mooney and Billings are still in prison. Sacco and Vanzetti, as innocent as Mooney and Billings, are held for death by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, j while the people of all classes are petitioning for mercy. And in California the State has deliberately hung onto the war-like syndicalist | law, and is sendijig to prison under'’ I it that lovable gentlewoman, Anita Whitney, It is the people against the government, or rather, it is the people ahead of the government. Prosperity has done it. no doubt. The workers of all sorts—labor, employers, professional men and financiers — everybody is well paid and happy and unafraid, and therefore generous. Ku Klux Hangover The Ku and other popular organizations are only hang-overs of the hysteria, just as the judges and governors and legislators are. They are the small beginnings of the Fascism that came to the throne in Italy and sits on it still. But the American people are nm yet ready for a dictator, nor are they

in the mood for vindictive force. Americans are hack again in their normal state of mind, "out for a square deal.” I think that, if their representatives in executive,' legislative and judicial authority would adopt a policy of pardon for all errors, and more humor and a little scientific wisdom in dealing with new crimes they would discover that they were leading instead of following a people who—to say the least-*-like good endings, and —to say the most —are about ripe for the application of knowledge to their problem. THRONG Os 7,000 AT KERO TRIBUTE Senator Robinson Heard at Pearson’s Mill. Bu Vnited Prctu WABASH, lnd., May 30.—More than 7.000 persons from all sections of the State gathered at Pearson’s Mill. soutlK of here yesterday, for the eighteenth annual Memorial Day services, at which Senator Arthur R. Robinson was the principal speaker, and Wesley Cox, only surviving civil war veteran in Waltz township. was guest of honor. Robinson paid tribute to dead of the Civil and World Wars and warned citizens of the United States that they had a great duty to perform in steering this Government through the dangers which beset it. “We must be ever on guard against this nation's possible enemies, both without and within our borders,” he said. "While we devoutly pray for peace and hate war. we must ever be prepared for any emergency, with an army, navy and corps adequate to our needs in protecting this countrx r which has been so nobly defended in the past by these heroes whose memory we honor today." Didn’t Hurt the Dog PARIS, May 30.—A small dog, falling from a window, nearly caused the death of a woman walking along the Rue Legendre. The animal fell from the fourth story, lit on her head, knocked her unconscious, and fractured her skull. The dog was unhurt.
