SCRIPPS-HOWARD

The Great Objective All good citizens will receive with satisfaction the closing portion of the statement of Governor Jackson to the effect that “D. C. Stephenson is in prison for the murder of a young girl and I will never he blackmailed into giving him a pardon.” As far as The Times is informed, no cne *with any powers of' either observation or reasoning believes that there was ever any danger of executive clemency for the man who created the invisible government in this State and then found himself in pris9n for life for murder. No one with any knowledge of political history in this State ever believed that a pardon could be issued to him, no matter what he revealed or did not reveal. There are limits to everything. Os course, the language of the Governor suggests that Stephenson is trying blackmail, a dirty, ugly word with many implications. What the people of this State have been interested in since last fall has not been the liberty or incarceration of Stephenson on the charge of murder. The courts had determined his guilt. The higher court was yet to review that matter. The people were interested in a letter which he smuggled from his cell in which he declared that he could prove, by documents, a vast political conspiracy in this State. The people were interested in his offer to reveal the secrets of that invisible government 'which he had helped to create. The people were interested in knowing whether he spoke the truth when he said that he still had the proof. Importance was given to his declaration by the actions of public officials. Had they, at that time, invited or assisted or permitted a showdown, this State would have been saved many things. Perhaps the State would have been saved the SII,OOO which was paid from the Governor’s contingent fund for special prosecutors before the grand jury. The fact that the Governor paid this money, a most unusual proceeding because the State law provides another way. for the expense of grand jury investigations, gave credence to the charge. There’s no denial of the fact that this grand jury was specially charged to investigate the truth of Stephenson’s letter. It had that purpose almost exclusively. When the Governor paid the bills for special prosecutors there is at least the fair inference that he believed that the jury might find some supporting evidence of some kind, implicating some State officials. How much cheaper, to say the least, would It have been had the Governor at that time, dt even when evidence of photographers as to the existence of a $2,500 check drawn in his favor was presented, frankly said that there was such a check and that it was the price of a horse which he had bought. But it was not until the original check, finally after patient and persistent effort discovered by The Times and printed, came to light that there is any explanation whatever. The great objective in this State is a clear and plain revelation to the people of the manner in which they have selected their officials. Indiana has suffered too long and too much, not from charges of political misrule, but from the suppression and secrecy which has given credence to them. Every invisible government is bad. The people of Indiana will redeem this State and place it back on its high pedestal only when they cast aside those who created that supergovernment and misled the voters through appeals to hates and prejudices and passions. It makes little differenc ewhat be the source of an invisible government. All governments based on secrecy and delusion of the voter are bad. Whenever ambitious men stoop to unworthy things to obtain power, and succeed; whenever an inner government is created through the biiilding of such a machine as now controls politics in this State, bad government and bad reputation abroad must be expected. Ihe great objective is public ownership of the government of Indiana. The final drive must be the exposure of those who form an inner circle of power. The story of Stephenson will accomplish that. He knew and knows. To Hate Henry, or Not to Hate Him Jews in one city have undertaken to decide by vote whether or not they shaU forgive Henry Ford. One hundred delegates representing practically all the Jewish organizations in the city met and discussed the question. Then they voted. The result was 23 for forgiving and 37 for indefinite postponement of the question. The remainder didn’t vote either way. It Is a curious experiment. Presumably, now that twenty-three have been voted down, they and the organizations they represent are not permitted to forgive the flivver king. They are bound to cherish their dislike for the man who admits he has mis-

represented their race. They must keep this feeling alive until a majority is ready to agree to forgive. When, if ever, the majority comes around to their way of thinking, they will all be allowed to forgive in a bunch. This isn’t as absurd as it may sound. You may say that forgiveness is an individual matter, that it is something that springs from the heart and cannot be turned on and off at will of the individual himself, much less by any outsider. To some extent that is true, but not entirely. - If someone in whom you believe tells you it is your duty to hate Germans or Russians or Britishers, or Catholics or Baptists or Lutherans, or Negroes or, whites, or Republicans or Democrats, or whatnot or whatsoever, you can easly work up a pretty good brand of hatred in the direction indicated. Some people certainly can. And by keeping it alive, by dwelling on the hateful qualities of the person or group prescribed, you can make that hatred a very real part of your being. ' First-class wars have grown out of this curious capacity of the human race. This being so, it is possible to doubt the wisdom of submitting to the ballot the question of hating Henry Ford. The Jews do not feel kindly toward him at present and it would be strange if it were otherwise. But they haven’t arrived at that state of feeling by organized mclrement. it is just as well to permit this feeling to dissipate itself, if it is deemed wise to have it dissipated. Some are ready to forgive now. They should be permitted to follow Instincts of their hearts. Some say they wish to wait and see if Henry’s remorse is genuine. That won’t do any harm, either. Some think they intend never to forgive. They probably are mistaken and can be left alone with their mistake. The immediate effect of this first attempt at organized forgiveness has been a vote for organized refusal to forgive. And that is baa. Nobody that desires to forgive anything should be denied that heart-easing privilege. For nothing has been better proved by experience than the fact that hating hurts the hater more than it hurts the hated. The Geneva Mulberry Bush The game of beating the devil around the bush continues at Geneva. Last night the much heralded and postponed plenary session of the naval conference met and adjourned without getting anywhere, either forward or backward. It merely completed another round of the mulberry bush. The United States, Britain and Japan, through their delegates, simply got up and repeated what they had already said before several times, then sat down again. The only encouraging sign the correspondents seemed to be able to see in the entire palaver was that the delegates said what they had to say a little bit nicer than usual. The only pertinent remark reported came from our own chief delegate. Ambassador Hugh Gibson. Said he: “Naval needs are relative, not absolute.” Therefore the United States did not feel justified in agreeing upon a tonnage so high that, far from limiting the burden of taxation, would merely sanction naval expansion. That puts the finger on the crux of the whole problem. Naval needs are relative, not absolute. A country needs a navy no larger than its possible enemies make necessary. If the leading naval powers can agree on proportion, the rest should be easy. A low maximum ton* nage for each should not be difficult to arrive at. One trouble at Geneva, of course, is that Britain has in mind considerations which have* absolutely nothing to do with the United States and often not even with Japan. Britain is thinking about her position in the Mediterranean Sea, where Italy and France—neither of which nations is taking any active part at the conference-—play an important role. She is thinking about Russia and China and India and what tomorrow might hold in store for her there. These facts have made of the Geneva gesture a silly, not to say futile and possibly dangerous, performance from the very start. It has never been a question of Britain saying to the United States: “We have similar interests in the world, so we will have equal size navies. I’ll make mine as small as you will make yours.” Not at all.. Rather It has been: “My needs are entirely different from your needs. I propose to have a navy so big and composed of such and such ships. You can have a similar one if you like.” As both the enormous size of the navy proposed by the British and the type of ships suggested were not at all suited to our desires or requirements, there has been a deadlock which has continued to the time whereof we write. The delegates last night insisted that though they can’t agree on anything, they still love each other, for which we are truly thankful. But we’ll heave a sigh of relief when we hear the show is over and the diplomats have gone home saying the same thing. If there is not to be any agreement we hope there will also be no recriminations.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer

■A married woman, 20 years old, purchased SSOO worth of furniture on the installment plan, and started a rooming house business. After she had paid $145 of the SSOO she had agreed to pay for the furniture, she abandoned her rooming house business, returned the furniture to the company from which she had purchased it, and demanded refund of the $145. Her reason for such a demand was that she was a minor, and that consequently the contract for the furniture purchase was not valid. The company accepted the return of the furniture, but refused to refund the $145 on the ground that the woman was married, was carrying on a business venture, and consequently capable of making a valid contract for the purchase of furniture. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Wisconsin affirmed a lower court decision ordering a refund of $145 to the woman to reimburse her for payments which she had made on the furniture. The reason given was that she was a minor, and consequently not capable of making binding contracts except for necessities. The court did not regard the furniture which she purchased as a necessity.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: If President Coolidge Knew Two Months Ago What He Knows Now, He Would Have Probably Selected Indiana Instead of- South Dakota as His Vacation Place.

WASHINGTON, July 15.—After talking with Mussolini, Nicholas Murray Butler decides that for the first time in 2,000 years the world is without a great man. One wonders how he can be so sure. Very few generations have recognized their great men, and we may be suffering from this common weakness. Shakespeare and Milton were not regarded as great until a century or more after their deaths. The works of Aristotle lay burled for many years, and if somebody had not discovered them he would not be occupying the exalted position he does. Even the Savior did not create sufficient impression to attract extraordinary notice until a century after the crucifixion. For a trained thinker, Mr. Butler seems to be in great haste to decide who is great and who is not. The Consoling Part There are those who believe such men as Edison and Marconi will one day be accounted great, not to mention several others who have played a leading part ifi the stir of of the time. But Mr. Butler says no. Like Diogenes, he has swung his lantern in broad daylight and found no one to fill the bill. He consoles us, however, with the speculation that the level of human intelligence may have become so high that it is no longer possible for the great to stand forth distinctly. In other words, greatness is a matter of comparison and we have risen sufficiently to spoil the perspective. Billionaires Stand Out Whether this is true intellectually, it is not true financially. The billionaire stands out with just as sharp distinctness as did the millionaire four generations ago. There are but two in this country and everybody can name them.

Jewish Excitement Louis Marshall shows good sense in warning the Jews not to get so excited over Henry Ford’s apology. The childish manner in which some of them want to g’orify him for merely correcting an inexcusable blunder is tactless to say the least. It is worst tlian tactless when accompanied by hints as to what Mr. Ford might do to help the Jews. Who Rode the Horse? Having taken days to think the matter over, Governor Jackson of Indiana concludes that he is being blackmailed and remembers that the $2,500 check he received from D. C. Stephenson was not "for campaign purposes,’’ but “for a very valuable saddle horse.” This raises the question as to w r ho rode the horse. Now If Cal Had Only Speaking of horses, it is a shame that President Coolidge was not on one when he posed for the movies as a cowboy, preferably the electric one on which he has been accustomed to take exercise. That might have added the artistic touch of which so many people seem to feel a lack in the picture. Hurrah for Indianai If President Coolidge knew two months ago what he knows now, he would have probably selected Indiana instead of South Dakota as the most desirable place in which to spend his vacation. It is unfortunate that The Indianapolis Times could not have made its expose early enough for Hoosier politicians to have used it as an invitation. With such an argument, they should have had little trouble in convincing the President that Indiana was the most excellent State for rest and recreation. Automobile War On Thursday the Detroit Street Railway bought 100 new cars, because as General Manager Dell A. Smith declared, “we have been given to understand that there will be unprecedented activity at .the Ford plant in the very near future.” Simultaneously the fitudebaker corporation announced a price cut, while Dodge Brothers proclaimed a new line of four-cylinder cars. Durant is said to be contemplating a whole series of moderate price cars. Wall Street interprets all this as portending an automobile war. If Wall Street is right, the car-buying public should besetting pretty next fall. Custer's Death • Brig. Gen. Edward S. Godfrey, who examined Gen v George A. Custer’s body as it lay on the field of massacre, deserves thank* for exploding two of the dirtiest pieces of fiction that ever besmirched American history. For a generation and more, two stories with regard to Custer’s death have found special favor with that school of chroniclers which likes to discover and magnify the fly specks of gossip. One is to the effect that Custer committed suicide, when he realized escape was impossible. The other tells how his body was horribly mutilated. General Godfrey says that he examined the body carefully, that there were two bullet wounds in the left breast and one In the left temple—one of which should have proved fatal—that there were no powder marks, and surprisingly little spilt blood.

As Hoosier Editors See ‘Steve’s’ Evidence

THE INDIANA SCANDALS (Anderson Bulletin) The Indiana political scandals now rocking the State and entire country are Republican. The leadj ers of that party made them. They I are solely responsible for them. ; They are the sinners. They cannot | escape the blame. They must suffer i for any Jegal penalties and the condemnation of public sentiment for these scandals. The truth is right and will prevail. It will finally come out. The truth aboft these scandals has been so successfully covered up and suppressed that many people had despaired of it ever getting properly before the public. But at last it is coming. The people will know the scandals and their makers and beneficiaries. The chief credit for this expose belongs to Thomas Adams. Republican editor at Vincennes. He was a widely trusted member of that party and belonged to its inner circle of owners, managers and bosses. In that relation, he discovered the scandals. His honest, patriotic soul revolted, and he made the Stephenson expose. By Republican leaders he has been hounded, read out of his party, and his life tnreatened. Adams could not be scared nor brow-beaten. He was and is determined to clean his party house and is at it. The great majority of his party are now upholding him. They want a real housecleaning. The Stephenson-Adams charges will not down. Public sentiment is: intense in its demands for all the truth. Mr. Adams demands an Immediate special session of the legislature to hear and investigate the scandals. He cla'ms that the evidence Is so conclusive that impeachments of high state officials would result. The whole Stephenson scandals and all the participants should be uncovered at once. The end of the scandals will not come until this is done and the guilty punished. The Republican house must be cleaned. The air must be cleared. The fair name of the State demands and is entitled to freedom from these scandals brought on it by Republican politicians. The press of the State is practically unanimous in this demand. It wants State officials and Republican political leaders to clear their skirts or get out of office and leadership immediately. There is no other honest, decent course open to them. They have disgraced Indiana and their party. It will take Indiana a quarter of a century to live down the injury these Republican scandal makers have done. THE LAST LAUGH (Hartford City Newa) Manufacturers of shock absorbers should do a whirlwind business In Indiana while the Stephenson expose is under way. Truly there has been many shocking things divulged but before the name of the Hoosier State is cleansed other facts of a more startling nature may be revealed. It is a long lane without a turning, and the old maxim, “Truth Will Out” will again prove Itself. In the meantime. Thomas Adams, the Vincennes publisher, may well advise that "those who laugh last, laugh best.” PUNSTERS IN ORDER (Lebanon Reporter) Governor Ed Jackson, frequently mentioned in disclosures made by the former Klan dragon, \vas on an evangelistic trip over the week-end. Sunday morning the Governor preached at the Christian Church in Ossawatomie, Kan., using for his text, "What doth it profit?” In the evening he filled the pulpit at the Ossawatomie Methodist Church, and following his sermon the choir sang “It Must Be Told." In light of the present political scandal in Indiana the punsters can have a great time hooking up the Governor's text with the choir's number.

The Same Old Story

UNEASY INDIANA (Peru Journal-Democrat) Republican officials and politicians of Indiana are uneasy and are walking around on tip-toes. City officials of Indianapolis and high-up State officials are the anxious walkers. This condition is brought about by the recent conference be- | tween Prosecutor Remy and his asj sistants and D. C. Stephenson, former Klan leader. 1 The conference was held in the Indiana State prison, where Stephenson is serving a life sentence. The ex-Klan head wants out of prison. He wishes anew trial, a pardon or parole. He gets neither. He once remarked that if he ever told his complete story the prison would have to be enlarged to hold the guilty Republican politicians. His threats did not gain his liberty. He is said to liave talked turkey at the recent Remy conference. He named names as his associate law violators. It is now believed that the political skullduggery he told at the Remy conference will come to light, regardless of the individuals and parties it may effect. It ought to come to light. The public has a right to know it. If Steve’s “strong box.” heretofore hidden, Is found, and discloses the truth of his story, the Indiana political scandals will drive many Republican poli icians into disgraceful oblivion. It Is no wonder they are walking on tiptoes and are uneasy. If Prosecutor Remy cleans the Republican party in this State of its scandalmongers, he will be the big chief of his pfirty. LET THE PUBLIC KNOW (Decatur Democrat) In a lengthy editorial the Peru Tribune defends the act of Ed Jackson, 1 i accepting campaign funds from D. C. Stephenson, refuses to see anything seriously wrong about it, and says, “suppos'' he did, what of it?” And that’s what is wrong with the country. We are too prone to allow such things to pass. If Governor Jackson accepted funds from Stephenson and failed to report them, he is perhaps as guilty of perjury as is Mayor Duvall of Indianapolis, who is similarly charged, but the real thing of interest is just what promises were made to Stephenson in exchange for the thousands he donated. He was too wise and too clever not to exact his “pound of £esh” and that’s where the wrong really came in, that’s the “what of it?” and that’s the “suppose he did?” that’s what the public wants to know as a result of the present investigation

TWO PATHS (INDIANAPOLIS NEWS) There is probably no man who 1 has not at one time or another been I called on to choose between two [ paths, one leading to immediate vicI tory in politics or business through i means which he ought—and knows Ihe ought—to scorn to use, and the ! other to possible defeat through his unwillingness to employ such means. The choice is often difficult—so wealc is human nature. It is natural for men to desire to win, and we fear it is natural for most men to resort to sharp practice in their struggle for victory. The latter is a human weakness, though the former is not. Success in any honorable undertaking is not a crime, and there certainly is nothing wrong in it. But success may be, as it often is, bought at too high a price. A sullied and tarnished victory ought to be thought of as disgraceful—as it is. It is disgraceful whether or not it brings with it its penalty, which it sometimes does not do. Whether Henry Clay was in earnest when he said, “I would rather be right than be President,” that surely is the way he should have felt—the way all other men should feel. There is a glory iu failure, in the willingness to fail. whi:h in these days of the glorification of success, is, we fear, slightly appreciated. Macbeth, to whom justice has perhaps not been done, had the root of the matter in him. Os him his wife said: —thou woulds’t bf groat: Art not without ambition, but without The Illness should attend it; what thou woulda't highly. Thou woulds't hollly: woulds't not play false. And yet woulds't wrongly win. He chose the path to success by abhorrent means—in his case murder—and he lost, lost "honor, love, obedience, troops of friends.” and found life to be only —a talc Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing. It is a terrible picture of the life of every man who wins by foul means, who puts victory as his' object above everything else. Human life is largely an affair of these two paths. Either may lead to success, in the one case base and in the other honorable, or one may lead to base success and the other to noble failure. The latter is the choice almost every day offered to every man. Success won by foul means almost invariably exacts its price. But whether it does or not. it is itself a foul thing, known to be so in the inmost heart of him who wins it.

Narcissus was a seemly youth who won the love of Echo, but did not love her in return. In despair, she faded to a voice, that can still be heard calling sadly in waste places. But the youth had his punishment: having caught sight of his own reflection in a spring, he was -lured back to lie on its brink for hours, admiring the face he saw there.

Why the ftgf Weather? Meteorology 1 !

STATISTICS OF AMERICAN CLIMATE If you want climatic statistics for any part of the United States, there ire several sources from which such information can be obtained. The best descriptive work of a general character relating to the climates of the country is "The Climates of the United States ” by Prof. R. DeC. Ward, of Harvard, published in 1925. Prof. A. J. Henry’s “Climatology of the United States,” issued as a bulletin of the United States Weather Bureau, has the disadvantage of being more than twenty years old, but is an admirable work and includes much information not duplicated in Ward's book. For detailed numerical statistics one must turn to another Weather Bureau publication entitled "Summary of the Climatological Data for the United States, by Sections." For the purposes of this work the country has been divided into 106 "sections,” and the data for each are published in separate monograph. There are some additional sections containing statistics for Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. All !hc.-e sectional publications, assembled m three large quarto volumes, constitute Weather Bureau Bulletin W. The climatic and topographic features of each section are described m a page or more of text. This is followed by records of rainfall for each year from the beginning of observations at a large number £ stations in the section. Less detail™ information is given concerning temperature, winds, frost dates and other elements of climate. Splendid climatic charts of the country are a feature of the "Atlas of American Agriculture.” which the United States Department of Agriculture has been publishing in installments for some years. This work is still far from completion. (All rights reserved by Science Service. Inc.)
