A Little More Light Once more, D. O. Stephenson, the most famous guest of the State Is reported to have revealed his political crimes and involved high officials. For months there have been denials in high places that Stephenson could tell anything. But for months official power has been exerted to prevent him from saying anything. Whether the latest statements to the prosecutor of this county and his specially named assistants will be productive of criminal prosecutions, remains to be seen. Months ago Stephenson said that he could produce documentary evidence of vast political corruption in this State during the time when he was naming Governors and dictating appointments of other officials ranging from a United States Senator down to highway policemen. The people of this State might have been content to look upon that declaration as the raving of a life term convict against those whom he had aided in politics had it not been for the attitude of officials. The people remember that all official effort was directed to preventing the production of those docaments until it was jubilantly announced that the statute of limitations had operated against any political offenses committed in 1924 and 1925. The people also remember that witnesses fled from the grand jury last fall. The people also remember that evidence was produced showing that Stephenson had documents upon which he placed grave importance and that these had been photographed while he was in the Noblesville jail before his conviction on a charge of murder. What Stephenson now says to the prosecutors is valuable only if it leads to corroboration by the production of the documents he said that he could produce. But he is performing a service now if he is talking, only if it goes no farther than to remind the people of this State of the conditions which existed when he was dictator and reminds them also of the men he placed in power. It is a service now to recall that in the convention in which all the State officials of 1924 were nominated, Stephenson ruled and stalked the aisles with a gun strapped to his hip, giving orders and directing the proceedings. It is a service to recall that of all these officials he failed only in the case of Attorney General GilMom whom he tried to defeat. It is a service because those who served Stephenson are again looking for offices and for further power. One of those whom he named to a minor office is now the leading candidate for Governor. The people are presumed to have short memories. They will not forget these men now. They will remember those whom Stephenson placed in office and the fact that they named their assistants from the lists he furnished. The statute of limitations may run against political offenses. It does not and will not run against the memory of the people. They will now remember. When the people get the full story of Stephonsonism, its secret deals, its misuse of power, its elevation of the unfit, they will be better able to protect themselves from those who used Stephenson and whom Stephenson used.

’ Pride Goeth Before A Pall 9 A phrase maker once coined this word: “Newspapers are not perfect and neither is the human race.” The same thought applies to press associations. No one expects a newspaper or press association to be altogether accurate, any more than would one expect a human being to be perfect. The reading public, however, Is entitled to expect the greatest possible effort for accuracy from those institutions which convey current information—that such institutions will exert every ounce of ingenuity toward attaining as near to complete truth as is humanly possible. . A newspaper or a press association therefore in final analysis succeeds or falls, according to its batting average in accuracy. Occasional inaccuracies are to be expected, but chronic inaccuracy means death. It chances that the Associated Press within the last few months has been undergoing a serious batting slump. When Messrs. Chamberlin and Levine made their flight, they landed in Eisleben, far south of the German capital. Later, after resuming their way, they landed near Kottbus. They did not reach Berlin and land there until two days after the Associated Press had announced their arrival in Berlin. On the, third trans-Atlantic journey, Commander Byrd was reported by the Associated Press to have landed at Issy Les Mourlineaux, near Paris.- Asa matter of fact, Byrd landed in the English channel. Extras carrying the misinformation transmitted by the Associated Press caused the celebration at Roosevelt field, tears of joy among relatives and friends, and the consequent reaction <sf fear and worry that followed with the knowledge that the information was false. Extras were issued throughout the Nation on a basis of that unqualified bulletin which gave as having happened something that had not happened. Such technique in reporting of vital and worldwide news obviously represents a serious unsoundness in the organization transmitting the inaccuracies. But, serious though that unsoundness may be, it is only to be expected that drastic means will be taken within the Associated Press to correct the faults that have been the cause of the low batting average. Asa subscriber to another press association, tjie United Press, which has been fortunate enough to bat a thousand on those particular events on which the Associated Press fell down, we do not by any means believe the Associated Press incapable of making every effort toward coming back to a respectable standard. Nor do we contend that the press association which serves our particular paper will not on some future events make mistakes. We can not, however, overlook one phase of the whole press association situation that is brought out in iharp relief by the blunders above cited. That is, the recompense which inevitably dogs the trail of haughty. t I For years and years the Associated Press had

been claiming not merely that it was good, but that it was perfect. Others might err, but not the Associated Press. Human beings might trip from time to time into the pitfalls that beset life’s path, and other press associations might stumble, but the Associated Press would ever walk its faultless way onward and upward, above the sordid, earthly zone of error in which the rest of humanity is compelled to live and breathe and have its being. The inhalation of rarifled atmosphere, while simultaneously pinning the badge of infallibility on its own lapel, has been the favorite self-indulgence of the Associated Press. Now, the minor mistakes that attend the average day’s work of running a press association are not sufficiently spectacular to attract wide public attention. But occasionally some major event like the flight to Berlin occurs, or the Byrd journey across the Atlantic. Then it is that an error stands out like a scarlet necktie with a dress suit, or an extra inch on the end of a nose. Accordingly, it is only natural that the Associated Press is now undergoing what Booth Tarkington calls the comeuppance and what the more classical describe as retribution. The law of compensation does work and the Good Book indeed uttered a great truth when it said that pride goeth before a fall. A French Tribute to Herrick How Myron T. Herrick is honored by the French people, as a man'and as ambassador, is reflected in an appreciation by M. Louis Forest, writing in “Le Matin.” “Lindbergh has a keen eye,” says Forest. “This young man grasps the essential at a glance. Thus when leaving us he said he was struck with the manner in which Mr. Herrick, the United States ambassador, is received in Paris and in all circles. “In fact, Mr. Herrick is one of the rare personalities who are popular, personally popular. This tall gentleman, whose well polished hats haVe the air of smiling i nunison, inspires general sympathy. He has a rare quality; enthusiastic correctness. His distinction has cordiality, and he does not fear the crowd. “Formerly, speaking of an ambassador, people said. ‘He is persona grata.’ This meant, he is liked at court. In our democracies there is no longer’a court. One must please the man in the street. Persona grata is translated, ‘He is a good scout.’ For the people, the American ambassador is a good scout. “I am not writing these few lines for the pleasure of the panegyric. No; I am seizing the opportunity to show how important it is henceforth for a country to have diplomatic representatives abroad capable of making themselves personally sympathetic. “But this is not all. Mr. Herrick has been among us a long time. He has had the time to make himself popular. He is not one of those ambassadors and ministers plenipotentiary, as we have already had too many, who only comprehend their functions when in leaving. They have their return ticket in their pocket and—between two trains!” The Last Affront Twelve hundred men had to stand by Sunday and watch the drowning of three other men, whom they might easily have saved. The 1,200 were prisoners in Sing Siing prison. Iron faced guards with rifles pressed them back from the prison fence, while only a few yards away in the Hudson the drowning men—mere boys, they were —shrieked for help until their reaching fingers came up in a last mute appeal and then vanished. It is a tribute to the innate nobility of our kind that most of the 1,200 wanted to plunge in to aid the drowning boys. But it was useless for any to defy the rifles in order to risk death in the river. And it is significant of the awful revenge society takes upon those who break her laws that they were denied the attempt. The privileege and the decision to offer one’s life for one’s fellow being is the final mark which distinguishes man. To be refused that privilege is to be stamped with the mark of the beast—as finally set apart from and lower than humanity. No wonder Sing Sing was "quiet and sullen” yesterday, as the United Press described it, while its inmates meditated on that affront. When one thinks what a successful rescue might have meant not only in the saving of human lives, but in repairing the morale and self-respect of those prisoners and in showing society how sound at heart even her outcasts may sometimes prove, there is deep regret that the guard in charge didn’t ,have the nerve and humanity to allow the attempt to be made, even at the cost of a possible escape or two. No considered system of expiation ought to be as cruel as that punishment was. * I No wonder this is a revolutionary countity—with so many czars. A traffic cgar is one of the honking needs of the country. He could be named “Czar of all the Rushers.” Then some reformer probably would want stoplights placed on the Statue of Liberty. I Never strike a woman while the iron is hot.

Law and Justice by Dexter M. Keezer

A man sold his ice business and. became an employe of the company which purchased it. He agreed that if he should leave the employ of the company he would not engage in the ice business for a period of two years. After six years as an employe of the company he was discharged and shortly after started to organize an ice business of his own. The company for which he had worked asked for a court order preventing him from starting this business because it threatened to hurt the company’s trade in violation of his agreement, The man contended that the agreement should not be enforced by a court because it was contrary to public policy in that it fostered monopoly. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Court of Civil Appeals of Texas approved an order restraining him from starting an ice business in violation of his agreement not to do so for two years after leaving the company. It held that the contract, although resulting in a restraint upon competition, provided a legitimate protection of the good .will which t"he company purchased when it bought Uhe man’s ic* business.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: We Took Our Medicine With Respect to Battleships, Scrapping Some 700,000 Tons, and England Ought to Take Hers With Respect to Cruisers

At least 270 people were killed in celebrating the glorious Fourth. Most of them were victims of the automobile, though quite a number were drowned and some perished through fireworks. This is not the worst record, since the celebration of one Fourth of July some twenty years ago caused no less than 466 deaths. Sing Sing Tragedy Os all the tragedies that marred the week-end, that which occurred in the Hudson off Sing Sing, was perhaps the most pathetic. It may be good prison discipline and it may be strictly in accordance with the law for guards to hold a crowd of willing convicts back while three youths drown within easy reach, but it does not - square with the average man’s sense of decency. You cannot help wondering why, if the guards felt it was contrary to their duty to let the prisoners go to the rescue, they did not go themselves. One of the boys is said to have gone down for the last time within fifteen feet of the shore. It is not unreasonable to suppose that he would have been saved, but for the loaded guns which held the crowd of convicts back. It is the common idea that we imprison men to save life, but here is a case where life was sacrificed for the sake of prison discipline— innocent life—life that had every right to sympathy and assistance. Coast Guard's Virtues We hear so much about crookedness and corruption as to get the impression that there is little virtue in the coast guard. Such an impression is erroneous, of course. Whatever one may think of the Volstead act, the majority of the men trying to enforce it are honest and courageous. The exploit of Charles Duke, who captured a thousand-ton ship with half a million dollars’ worth of raw alcohol all by himself, brings a brighter and mpre thrilling side of the picture. Bootlegging, especially as practiced on the high sea, has ceased to be a game of vagabonds and ne’er-do-wells. Those who are attempting to suppress it find themselves up against such an aggregation of money, brains and desperation as promises all kinds of adventure. There are hundreds of men patrolling the coasts of the United States who constantly take their lives in their hands, and who cannot hope to accomplish u'hich is expected of them if they lack nerve. Scrapping Cruisers Speaking of warships, the naval conference at Geneva seems likely to break down because England will not agree to the American proposal for a greatly reduced cruiser tonnage. England wants the maximum cruiser tonnage which any nation can possess fixed at 580,000. The United States would like to see it fixed at 300,000, though willing to agree on 400,000 for the sake of harmony. When the disarmament palavers began we had more battleship tonnage than England and England was perfectly willing to agree to an enormous reduction because it forced us to scrap more battleships than it did her. With regard to cruisers, the case is different. England has, and always has had, a much larger number than this country. Such a reduction as our representatives propose would force her to destroy many good ships, while we would be in a position to build a few. We took our medicine with respect to battleships, scrapping some 700,000 tons, and England ought to take hers with respect to cruisers. Moody's Prospects Since Governor Moody’s torn - of the country there is talk of “A1 and Dan” as the Democratic team for 1928. No one seems to know how it started, or whether there is any justification for it, but it sounds good and that is quite enough. Moody is one of those young solitary figures in politics who capture the public imagination. He has been compared to Lindbergh and the comparison is logical as well as poetic. He has not only played a lone hand from the outset, but he has made good on every occasion. Whether he becomes the next Democratic candidate for Vice President, or whether he refuses to take any part in the next national campaign, he will be heard from if he lives. Monopoly Mistake Three years ago England undertook to regulate the production of rubber. The scheme was to permit a full crop if prices were high, but to curtail it if were low. It had the earmarks of a government controlled monopoly, but as time has shown, there was no monopoly for England to control. Three years ago her plantations produced about 70 per cent of all the rubber consumed, while the Dutch plantations produced about 25 per cent. As the English crop was curtailed by official decree, the Dutch increased theirs. The result is that England now produces only 56 per cent, while the Dutch produce 33 per cent. Worse still, where American manufacturers used only one ton of reclaimed rubber for every four tons of raw ruober three years ago, they now use one ton for every two.

Dr. Franklin and the Marquis De La Fayette Live Again Their Glorious Past in ‘The Blue Bodice’

The other day I heard a woman in a case decline to include lemon pie on her lunch menu on the grounds that she did not like it. Her escort insisted and after winng his point, the woman was ghly in praise of the lemon pie. You may have such an idea about what is generally known as the historical novel but I beg of you to include on your literary menu “The Blue Bodice” by Antoine Sorrel. On the surface this romantic novel with historical characters may be handicapped by being a prize winning book but such an honor should not be a handicap. The Writers’ Guild of New York has chosen ‘The Blue Bodice” as the 1927 prize winner. It’s author is a young Frenchman. In your experience with new authors, I suggest that you get acquainted with the ability of this author to actually make characters of history live again as human beings. The Cast The author in his novel rather considers his characters as members of a cast and if there was ever a novel which actually “played itself” before the reader, then “The Blue Bodice” is such a book. You actually run elbows with LaFayette, the friend of the Colonies during the dark period of the Americn Revolution and you hear from his own lips his love for George Washington.and for America., You seem to get into the high places where Benjamin Franklin climbed, not into the sky but rather into the high diplomatic places in

How Bloomington, Ind., solved a problem of this kind ofThe ' fers a lesson for other cities in similar Problem straits - Bloomington needed a community Solved building, one large enough to house assemblies of citizens for various purposes, chiefly for athletic games by schools and for meetings engaged in community work. Demands on the school city’s treasury were too heavy and the political unit could not see it? way clear to finance a building. A meeting was called. Sixteen business men were appointed on the first committee, forms for pledges drawn up on which the banks would advance money, A three-day campaign resulted in over $140,000 being pledged, no man being on the list for less than SI,OOO. A holding company was formed, a lease to the school city was made guaranteeing payment of interest and other overhead charges. A small sinking fund was provided. Contracts were let and the building dedicated eight months after the first meeting was held. Instead of costing $140,000 the total cost was less than SIOO,OOO. The structure is a credit. It seats 6,000 people. \ Back of the p.oject is an athletic association with more than 1,000 members, including a large number of business men. When the building is paid for it will be given over to the school city as it is located on the high school campus, a site which is very desirable and incidentally saved a ground charge of $15,000.

Then we meet such characters as Armand de La Garde, playwright and swordsman; The Marquise, wife of La Fayette; Scanlon, the man who tried to split France and America; John Paul Jones; Lord Cornwallis, head of the British forces; Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, and her husband, Louis XVI, and many others. These characters of history move and talk in “The Blue Bodice” just as if they-were living their own lives over again in the mind of the author.

\ and historical background which stamps Antoine Sorrel as one of the leading younger writers of today. A Dedication It is interesting to note that Sorrel has dedicated “The Blue Bodice” “To His Excellency, Myron- T. Herrick, Ambassado rto France.” And I am sure that Herrick will appreciate this honor as this novel certainly does credit to a certain phase of American and French history which the ambassador is carrying on today. The dedication was made months before Lindy and Herrick became first page copy. Here is a beautiful story and highly interesting bee.-use it shows the evil forces that operated against this country when as colonies she needed the help of France. Some of the “dirty work” upon the part of high officials will prove startling to those who take their history seriously. My one hope is that you will include "The Blue Bodice” in your “must reading list” and I am sure you will tell me that you are glad that I liked this story and said so. # SHOWS ON VIEW IN INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Hiawatha” at Fairview Park; “A Million Bid” at the Indiana; Ted Lewis at the Circle; “Quicksands” at the Apollo; “The Telephone Girl” at the Ohio; Mickey Daniels at thq Palace; “Honeymoon Limited” at the Lyric; movies at the Isis; “On Approval” at Keith’s and “Loose Ankles” at English’s.

Why the ggf Weather? Meteorology

OCEAN WEATHER DATA IN THE LAW COURTS For many years the United States Weather Bureau has been collecting weather from all parts of the oceans. These are supplied to the Bureau in shape of ’’meteorological logs,” kept by seamen of all nationalities during their voyages. The data thus gathered, apart from their scientific value, are used for a number of practical purposes. They are frequently called for by lawyers for use as evidence in admiralty cases. For example, it is sometimes necessary to show the character of the weather experienced throughout an entire voyage, when a vessel has failed to maintain a contract speed or to land a cargo by a specified date. Again, the information may relate to a single storm in which damage was sustained during a comparatively brief period. Occasionally the information requested relates to missing ships, the fate of w’hich can sometimes be determined with a high degree of probability from a knowledge of the weather prevailing at the time and place of disappearance. Just after the World War a number of claims for the loss of ships at sea came before the various claims commissions, in which it was desired to establish whether the loss should be classed as a war casualty or a weather ualty Records furnished by thdj Weather Bureau helped to settle many such cases.
