Mississippi Surrenders Up from Florida came blowing a strange wind. And from Mobile Bay to Maurepas Lake the Gulf Coast awoke, stirring out of a sleep of centuries. The wild beauty of tills wooded, winding shore became suddenly a reproach, reminding its people how long they had taken pleasure and neglected profit. These friendly, happy homes, scattered haphazardly through pine and oak, they must be made from rustic retreats into millionaire mansions. These milelong, rotting piers, ilong which little groups at dawn and dusk went bathing, they must be made into concrete causeways. And these langorous, laughing waters of the Sound must be so filled with tourists and investors that nevermore would porpoises come rollicking at sunrise. There must be progress and prosperity, and the soil must be a thing not to own, but to sell. And so, Theodore G. Bilbo has been elevated for the second time in his tempestuous life to the governorship of Mississippi. There can be little doubt that this man's return to power, against such bitter opposition, vras due in part to the new culture along the coast. Nor can there be doubt that his vicory is fraught with novel possibilities. Until James K. Vardaman, once Bilbo’s master, led the political revolt of 1910, Mississippi was controlled autocratically bv an ante-bellum regime, by an aristocracy of planters, centering in the courtly Delta, of which John Sharp Williams was the last elegant warlock. For in Mississippi, alone of Southern States, the Old South lingered. Vardaman drew his support from what the planters were pleased to call Cow Country, his followers being a rabble of small farmers, strengthened here and there by little bands of artisans in the minature Mississippi cities. Such was the political machinery inherited by Bilbo, and, even as it had not prevented Vardaman from going to defeat in 1918, so it; was Unable to save Bilbo in 1923. Seeking to return in 1923, Bilbo was vanquished quite as completely as Vardaman. The aid regime, though battered a bit, still ruled. But anew Bilbo went up and down the State in 1927, and he spoke anew language. Was Mississippi the last State in the South to feel the crushing might of industrialism? Then Mississippi must change. Was Mississippi still a pioneer land? It must be no longer. Mississippi, land of opportunity, beckoned through Bilbo to the wealth of the world, for Mississippi was a good place for millionaires to live in and would be even a better place to die it. There would oe a few restrictions on pleasures and no inheritance tax upon wealth. This, in a State that had limited by law the amount of soil a foreign corporation could own, in a State whose largest city numbered only 35,000 souls, this was something new. And when the ballots were counted the coast, as well as the Cow Country, had gone for Bilbo enthusiastically. To the North it was a victory for tolerance, proving that a governor of New York m'ght yet carry the South, for Bilbo won despite bitter attempts of Ids opponents to make him appear a servant of Catholicism. To the South is was something more. It was, perhaps, the passing of the last fragment of a civilization that was elsewhere gone ferever. It was, perhaps, the final bow of an aristocracy of song and story to an aristocracy of production and profit. The Eagle and the Ostrich The village librarian wa,s homeward bound with a book under her arm. “Whatcha got there, Miss Mildred?" the >town character asked as she passed by. “Is that a learnin’ book you takin’ home, or jest a readin’ book?” Which is not so foolish as it sounds. Books gensraltf may be classified under the one category or the other. Most books are read either tor what we can learn from their pages, else Just for the fun of it. “How Europe Made Peace Without America,” by Frank H. Slmonds, expert on foreign affairs, is both kinds of a book at one and the same time. Every chinking American should read it. They will learn a lot and find real enjoyment wh'le doing so. The book is not one to be synopsized. It needs to oe read. First Simonds gives you the European background against which the events following the World War must be viewed to be understood, then he pictures che events themselves. The making of the Treaty of Versailles with personal side-lights on its makers; America’s part in the treaty and why the treaty failed; the various positions of France, Italy, Britain, Germany and the rest; and the meaning of the Ruhr, the Dawes Plan; Locarno and so on down to the present day—it is all there. The final chapter—“ America and Europe”—alone would make the book worth while, recapitulating in vivid fashion the world situation to show why America oas lost her popularity abroad. We can not follow a policy of let-the-rest-of-the-world-stew-in-its-own-juice and expect foreigners to love us. Instead of conjtructive leadership from our statesmen in these matters, Simonds makes clear, our politicians merely follow what they believe to be the popular trend. Instead of leading the parade to a higher moral ground they timidly follow the band-wagon of public sentiment wherever it may wander. “American foreign policy,” the writer says, “is oased upon popular estimates of European conditions rather than upon any actual appraisal of existing conditirns. All our proposals abroad are addressed to our jlectorate at home. Notes sent to foreign governments ire Invariably directed at the domestic voter. Secretaries of State are occupied mainly with the thought of the repercussion in the United States; what the responses evoked in Europe may be are unimportant by comparison. “Thus,” Simond’s concludes, “in recent years, it has never been quite possible to escape the disquieting suspicion that while the American Government continues to cherish the eagle as a domestic symbol, it Is to the ostrich that it turns instinctively for an example in all questions of foreign policy.” No criticism was ever more justified. While it is painfully apparent that America is becoming increasingly unpopular the world over, instead of trying to Slid out why this is so, and check it if we can, we deliberately bury our heads in the sand and refuse to ?ee the gathering storm.

A Change On the Border For more than a century Americans and Canadians have lived side by side without a fort or soldier or ship guarding the border. This happy state has often been instanced as an example of international concord which other countries might copy. But those days are to be no more. We are to Increase our prohibition patrol along a small stretch of border from 200 to 400 men, bringing the total force of the dry army on the line to more than 600. It may also be necessary to dot the Great Lakes with destroj'ers assigned to the coast guard’s prohibition squadron. The international bridge, recently dedicated with effusive references to the millennium, will have heavy guards posted at each end. Strangely enough, it is the Canadian government which has requested these warlike measures. They have not been resorted to as a means of keeping out Canadian liquor so much as to prevent American liquor from flowing into Canada. Since prohibition dut bootlegging gentry have exported alcohol to Canada, evaded payment of the tax and undersold the dome market. Some of the poisonous stuff has sickened and killed Canadian subjects, We submit that all this is a curious commentary an prohibition enforcement and tbe evils which the dry laws have brought in their train. After seven! years and the expenditure of more than $200,000,000 I we find that evasion and violation of the law have issumed such a widespread character that it places a strain on the good nature of our neighbors. Isn’t it time for the sensible element of our lawmaking body to undertake revision of the dry act so as to make it an enforcible and commonsense proposition, if that is possible? Why There’s No Profit The Government spent about $3,500.05(J,000 for a merchant fleet during the war. Therefore President Coolidge, as reported from Rapid City, concludes that a Government merchant marine is a complete failure and should be discontinued. Is the President’s Conclusion a fair one? Most of those ships were thrown together helter skelter as part of the Nation’s effort to win the war. They were in about the same class as artillery shells, bought at any price, and wooden cantonments, built hastily and at great cost because the need was urgent. Would anybody argue that we shouldn’t manufacture any more shells because those used during the war are now of no value? Then, too, there is the fixed shipping board policy of transferring ships to private owners as soon as they start to show a profit. In this manner the Government has deliberately prevented itself from making a profit from its merchant marine. Perhaps private interests are prepared to build up a merchant marine adequate to the needs of the Nation. Indications thus far are that this is not the case. The Senate Commerce Committee which began its exhaustive inquiry into the subject convinced that the Government should get out of the shipping business, now believes the contrary. It believes the Government should face the fact that a real American merchant marine can only be provided by the Government and that the Government should set about providing it. A crusader against alcohol told an Indiana audience that 21,000,000 people who drank before the prohibition law went into effect have quit completely. The other 90,000,000 in the country seem to be getting It all. A ranger in Africa reports he tilled three elephants with one bullet. We live in a machine age, it’s true, but the spirit of Aesop has not passed from the earth. Chibago police are going to carry nightsticks again, says a dispatch. The obsolete will return if you just give it plenty of time. Maybe after Coolidge is through being President he will settle down. •

The Lawyers’ Union

-By N. D. Cochran-

The lawyers have the only trade or profession that has practically all the tools for self-government. They dominate all National and State legislative bodies and generally occupy the big jobs in the executive branch of government. So they are responsible for most If not all the laws which regulate our daily life. Besides, there is in every State, and probably in every county seat, a bar association. In all essentials it is a labor union, the principal difference between it and the bricklayers’ union, for example, is that lawyers don’t do much work with their hands and are not classified as laborers. All judges, being lawyers, are members of the union. They and the other members of the union have power to regulate admission to the practice of law, and to bring about such changes in judicial procedure as they may deem desirable. Through the power of courts to disbar members of the bar—or union—and thus prevent them from practicing law, the members of the union can protect th? public from crooked lawyers. They have power to punish the army of crooked lawyers who are in league with professional criminals, and in effect participants in and beneficiaries of crime. One noted member of the lawyers* union, Clarence Darrow, once made a speech to the prisoners in the Illinois penitentiary at Joliet; and he told them that the real reason most of them were there was that they didn’t have a smart lawyer. That may be slightly exaggerated, cut there is much truth in the statement. All of us know enough to oelieve that criminals could not escape punishment so easily if it were not for the cunning of tricky lawyers in finding loop-holes in laws enacted to protect property and life. And ’ve ought to know that the lawyers themselves, through the great power of their self-govern-ing union, can do more than all the rest of us combined to promote Justice and make law effective. Unfortunately, however, the honest lawyers, who, we believe, are in the majority, do not make the best use of the power of their union. Oh yes, a crooked lawyer is disbarred now and then. Sometimes a lawyer may go to prison. But there are entirely too many lawyers living off of crime and criminals, too many lawyers using their knowledge and cunning to find holes in the meshes of the law through which their criminal clients may escape. Having all the power they need to make their profession a self-governing body and to bring lav and justice mar enough together to be on speaking terms, why don’t they do it? , V.. ’ . ■ ' ' ' , \ , '

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

* M. E. TRACY SAYS: As America Grows, Europe Is Bound to Fade by Comparison, or Putting It the Other Way, as Europe Fades America Is Bound to Grow.

A United States with 250,000,000 people and a League of LatinAmerican nations are what Dean Inge of England, visualizes as the dominant sources of world power at the end of the twentieth century. The Dean began, like prophets of old, foretelling the decadence of his own people, and forced himself to picture the rise of others as a natural correllary. But what is there so novel or startling in the thought? As America grows, Europe is bound to fade by comparison, or putting it the other way, as Europe fades, America is bound to grow. The dean is merely arguing what the near future will be because of what the near past has been. One hundred years ago, England, France, Germany and Spain were each much larger than the United States. Today none of them is. What more natural than to suppose the drift will continue for another hundred? Changes Often Unheralded Writing in 1778, Elxhanor Watson predicted that the United States would be a nacion of from ninety to one hundred million people by the end of the nineteenth century. He had far less to go on than Dean Inge, but made a wonderfully close estimate. He foresaw a change of which there was little indication, while the dean foresees one of which there is every indi • tion. * The trouble is that great changes usually take place without much indication, and in that lies the Dean's real difficulty. Other Powers Traced Populations do not increase regularly and uninterruptedly, neither do nations rise. Three thousand years ago Egypt had as great a population as it has today, if not greater, while Babylon flourished where there is a aesert now. Rome was a much larger city under Augustus than it is, or is likely to be, under Mussolini. Four hundred years ago the Pope divided the western world between Spain and Portugal, as though that settled the matter. Two hundred years ago France controlled the bulk of North America. Undiscovered laws of nature govern the birth rate and the destiny of empires. The United States may have a population of 250,000,000 at the end of this century, as Dean Inge predicts, and then again it may not. Certain scientists have declared it would never go much beyond 200,000,000. Latin-America League As to the rise of Latin-America and the possibility of its republics forming a league, that is a most interesting subject to speculate on, and one which should concern us quite as much as Europe. League, or no league, Latin-Amer-ica is bound to come to the front very rapidly from now on, net only because of it* large productive areas that are open to development, but because the rcrtritcions we have placed on immigration are certain to turn Europe’s overflow in that direction. If North America could increase from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 during the last century, it is not unreasonable to suppose that South America may increase from 50,000.000 to 200,000,000 during the next. Neighbors Grow Up At present we are dealing with a score of comparatively weak neighbors in this hemisphere, and are shaping a policy toward them which is rooted in that thought. The Monroe Doctrine was based on the conception that they were utterly incapable of taking care of themselves, and out of that doctrine has developed a patronizing attitude on our part which they must find humiliating. It is all right to play the big brother toward little brothers, so long as they remain little, but when they grow up, it is likely to’ have its drawbacks. Latin-American nations are not only growing up. but they are being drawn together by a common fear of the United States, just as they were once drawn together by a common fear of Europe. Mistake in Policy Lean Inge seems to imagine that the next century will not only find two great centers ‘of power in this hemisphere, but will find them antagonistic to Europe. If we continue such a policy as we are now pursuing toward Mexico, Haiti, Nicaragua and some other countries, Latin-America is almost sure to become pro-European. Whether such a situation would threaten war, it would certainly affect markets and industry. That such a situation is in the making, any one with the intelligence of a 10-year-old/child should be able to understand, and that we ought to take it into account more than we do should be equally apparent. • ~ The great weakness of our foreign policy toward Latin-America consists in the fact that it ignores everything more than a week off. It nresumes that conditions will remain as thev are indefinitely, that the United States will continue rich and populous, while republics to the south continue poor and sparsely settled, which is a conception that, our own history should blast as utterly absurd.

Spanish Charm Will Be Found in the Ballroom at Indiana Which Opens Tonight With Grand Ball

By a miracle of the builders’ art. Spain's most enchanting charms have been brought to Indianapolis, and are to be found in the new Indiana ballroom, which opens tonight. Dance in this ballroom whose walls are, by magic Spanish palaces, whose balconies ;re draped with Spanish shawls, aid whose windows are hung with brilliant awnings. Dance with salt sea breezes adding a tang and a zest to the air we breathe. Dance to your hearts’ content to the music of Jack Pitzer and Marion McKay and their “Kings of Tempo.” The new Indiana ballroom is spacious enough for 3,000 people to dance with ease and for 4,000 persons to check their coats and hats without crowding or waiting, and no tipping. The inside story of a ballroom is seldom told. Ticket sellers and an orchestra form the general opinion of ballroom management, but few people realize the tremendous task of the organization of a single ballroom party. Asa matter of fact, there is probably no business that requires more progress or efficiency than a modern ballroom. At the Indiana ballroom, which is one of the five largest ballrooms in the United States, a staff of more than sixteen employes will be regularly employed, in addition to the 150 dance instructors and musicians. Heading' this organization is J. Perlberg, who has directed the activities of the country’s largest ballrooms for the past fifteen years. He will actively manage the business of the ballroom, planning and executing the details that are so necessary to the work, efficiency that determine the success, the failure of a dancing party. But, this is hardly a beginning. The beautiful lighting effects for which the new Indiana ballroom is noted are produced by the painstaking efforts of master electricians who must operate a complicated switchboard throughout the evening. In this new ballroom the force includes, besides manager, assistant manager, social director, elevator man, starters, hostess, telephone opDo You Know — That a year’s total of service at Christamore Settlement, a Community Fund organization, was 692 individual enrollments in organization activities with a total attendance of 14,439?

Prosperous Visitors from Indianapolis who know the situation there quite well remarke upon the business activity in Anderson, and indicate they would like to see conditions equally prosperous at Indianapolis. Anderson is in a fortunate position today. Let us conserve what we have and add :o it in a progressive manner, solidly building the city until it reaches 100,000 or more population. That can be done.

Violent exercise immediately after eating prevents digestion by taking the blood to the muscles and thwarting the regular digestive faculties which it otherwise performs. Violent exercise just before eating will create an appetite, but eating heavily just after violent exercise does not give the body time to come to a normal condition of blood pressure, pulse and other functions. A brief interval of ten or fifteen minutes should be allowed for the average person. Who is entitled to membership in the Gold Star Mothers organization? Any mother whose son died in the uniform of his country during the World War. This applies to battle deaths, deaths by wounds or other calamity and disease. How many Italian-born residents of the United States are there? 3,365,864, according to the last census. What is the full name of General Pershing? John Joseph Pershing.

Before the war the price of rough damonds in the field was slightly less than S4O per carat. The price of uncut stones is low compared to that of cut stones, because it is practically impossible to tell the grade of tarbon until the rough stone has been broken, and the purchaser is required to assume all risk

bought at the high post-bellum prices went down in value and left him stranded along with those from which he had borrowed. He then was governor* of Indiana, but that did not prevent his being stripped of his robes of office and sent to prison as a common felon. No doubt he deserved the penalty and certainly it was a significant example of the impartiality with which the Federal Government hands out justice, but those who know McCray best do not believe that he was then or ever had been a criminal at heart. But in any event he appears to have suffered mough and what he now needs is not further punishment, but help. (Plymouth Pilot) Ex-Governor Warren T. McCray is again at liberty after serving three and a third yeors in the Atlanta prison. Many of his friends will feel that he deserved to be paroled and none, we believe, will Warren object seriously to the action of the _ United States authorities in the matter. /. McCray The United Pras papers, of which Pardon rhe Pilot is one, vere the only papers which carried th's news last evening. The Chicago, Ft. Wayne, South Bend and other morning papers had it as their biggest line this morning. Plymouth should appreciate the splendid news service it is getting through The Pilot, and it does, judging by the number of people who have it delivered at their homes. It will be>an interesting experiment to see ivhether i man of Mr. McCray’s age can, after three and a third years in prison, get started again in business. He has stated that he will pay back all the money lost by his failure, but to do so he will have to get a large success in business, such as it usually takes a decade or more to bring about.

Why the Weather?

Meteorology 0

A RASH PROPHECY One of the worst prophecies ever made by a man of science was uttered by Arago, director of the Observatory of Paris, in 1845. Lika many other eminent astronomers before and since, this authority was much confounded in the public mind with astrologers, among whose foolish occupations from time immemorial had been the prediction of weather. Unscrupulous publishers had not hesitated to attach his name to prognostications for which he was in no way responsible. Irritated at being thus misrepresented, Arago published in the “Annuaire,” of the Bureau of Longitudes, a memoir in which, to judge from the title, he intended merely to prove that the science of meteorology, as then constituted, was unequal to the task of making successful weather predictions. Apparently his feelings ran away with him and in the course of the memoir, he made the following dogmatic statement: “NEVER, no matter what may be the progress of science, will honest scientific men who have a regard for their reputations venture to predict the weather.” The word “never” (jamais) was printed in capital letters! Just ten years after Arago uttered his “never,” his successor in the directorship of the Paris observatory, Leverrier, founded the Europeani system of telegraphic weather ports that made scientific weat™| forecasting possible, and within tna next few decades nearly all countries in the temperate zones es* tablished official services for predicting the weather every day.

To the Editor: Quite a good many of us felt dtflfe ing the time of Warren T. NfW Cray’s trial that there was a miss-, ing link or two somewhere along the line, and felt that it would be found. The missing link was buried pretty deep in the mire at the time, and more mire has been added. The fall floods, and the spring thaws, however, have uncovered, little by little, until we find that wfc may have enough missing links before long td make a mammoth chain; the like that has never been known. To perform, the many things that Mr. McCray was found guilty of, without the assistance of someone else, a man would have to be more even than a master mind. Possibly a super master mind might do it, but not Mr. McCray. McCray is just about the average in mentality —just a plain, observing, business man. We realized, of course, and do yet, that the things that he was found guilty of, were not becoming to the Governor of any State. But as time has passed and other things shown up, we are compelled to look at McCray more as a martyr to his party, than a criminal, and are rather s mprised that he so carefully shielded his associates and antagonists, and went the way of a crim-inal-alone. He could have had plenty of company. He might be a bit choicy about the company he picks, too. The people of Indiana should try to make this 62-year-old ex-gover-nor feel that they are glad to have him home again, and very likely he can help clear up the political maze, and encourage what few of our influential members that have evolved from the larva or spififfc less state, to assist the public smoking out the alley rats that infest our public places. Warren T. McCray has paid the price, he is one of our boys. Let’s make him feel at home again. JAY ft. SADLER.
