Senator Robinson Also Writes The correspondence between the editor of The Times and officials increases. Last week the Governor sent a letter. This week Senator Arthur Robinson writes. On Tuesday a member of his law office delivered it in person, to be sure that it reached its destination. Because it relates to a public matter, The Times is printing it in order that it may have no secrets from its readers. And here it is: Indianapolis, Indiana, * September 13, 1927. Mr. Boyd Gurley, Editor, The Indianapolis Times, Dear Sir: In a leading editorial published in The Indianapolis Times on September 12, 1927, appears this language: ■ * i “The machine created in these days of supergovernment is the one which sent Wasson and Robinson back to the Senate. Os course they will not resign. They should, inasmuch as they went into office as beneficiaries of a system which was not known to all the people. They are in the position of receiving office under false pretenses.” Senator Watson is ill in the city of Rochester, Minnesota, and I have not been able to confer with him with reference to this editorial. I can, therefore, speak only for myself. So far as lam concerned, the statement quoted above is absolutely false and grossly libels me. I demand, therefore, that it be retracted within three days from this date, the retraction to be given as much prominence in your newspaper as was given the statement complained of. I am making this demand on you and through you on The Indianapolis Times Publishing Company. Yours sincerely, ARTHUR R. ROBINSON. The answer, of course, is that The Times knows of no way it can “apologize” to Senator Robinson and deal fairly with its readers. It would like to say that Indiana has a junior Senator Vlio was never a friend of Stephenson in his dragon days of power, never the associate of George V. Coffin in politics, never a part of the super government of this State. But The Times, so it happens, is pledged to give its readers nothing but the truth and of course the Senator would not expect it to stultify itself by cowardly running before his implied threats. There has been super government in' this State and it is super government which The Times is fighting and endeavoring to finish. It is fighting to end the time when a United States Senator will endeavor to influence, for political consideration and expediencies, the decisions of its Supreme Court. Will you tell the people of this State, Senator Robinson, that you did not make such an attempt? \ Will you tell the people that you never knew Stephenson and were not on close and friendly terms with him when he was a political power? Will you tell the people exactly your relationships with George V. Coffin, the political boss of this county, who is now under indictment? No, Senator, the time is not yet when The Times can honestly write only pleasant things of Indiana’s junior Senator. A Straw in the Wind France has just dealt the United States a blow that ought to jar us loose from some of our sweet dreams. The new French tariff schedule on American goods, long awaited by the business world, has now gone into effect. Expecting even more favorable treatment than the old rates gave them, American business men, upon reading the figures, jumped like\they had been stung by a flock of bumblebees. The new duties range from three to seven or eight times the old. In fact, for an appreciable percentage of American exports to France, they are positively prohibitive. Great Britain and Germany will get the bulk of the business we stand to lose. With France they have “most favored nation” agreements. Our exports to France amount to more than $300,000,000 annually, some $75,000,000 to $90,000,000 .of which will automatically be lopped off by reason of the prohibitive tariff. It is an irony of the times that Germany, France’s

(New York Time*) If ever a political situation needed thorough airing, it is that which has developed in Indiana during the last few years, and therefore the indictments drawn against Governor Jackson, the Cleaning mayor of Indianapolis and others based on alleged violations of laws affecting House in the conduct of public office are a conIndiana tribation to popular welfare. Whatever their result, the indictments will serve to free government in Indiana from the burden of charge and counter-charge under which it lias for a long time been laboring, to acquit the innocent, punish the guilty and end a disgraceful regime in the history of a great State. Since the Ku-Klux Klan gained control of the Republican party in Indiana, Jail terms and indictments for public officers and party leaders have become common. Assurance is now given that the present grand jury is to continue its wofir until culpability and innocence in the public affairs of the State have been fully fixed. Prosecutor Remy, from whose initiative these penal activities have come, may be relied upon to see matters through in the State courts, and the fact that he has associated with him two good citizens of differing party affiliation Will serve to reassure the people of the State. Any disappointments that may come will be the direct responsibility of the people of Indiana through their courts and Jury system. ' Further developments will be awaited with keen Interest by all Americans with real interest in the decerieqr of their Government. And they will pot fail to remember that the vigilance of an Indiana newspaper been greatly responsible for bringing the present chaises to the light of trial.

What Other Editors Think

execrated enemy of a few years ago, today gets better treatment from her than we ao, who stood shoulder to shoulder with her in those dark days. Paraphrasing tbe old song: “Oh, what a difference just a few years make!” Meantime, with an optimism which we trust is not misplaced, Washington is hopeful of arranging matters soon. Negotiations will shortly begin to obtain equality of treatment for our goods. France, however, unmistakably holds the trumps. In the first place, France buys twice the amount of goods from us that we buy from her, and secondly, most of our purchases from France afe in the luxury class and are subject to maximum duties when they arrive in our ports. When negotiations begin, France will undoubtedly use the situation in an effort to lower the American tariff wall against French goods. We may be sure that for whatever modifications she may agree to make in the new schedules on American goods, she will demand something in return. Eventually, we hope, France will see her way clear to give our goods the same treatment she now accords those from Germany and England. At any rate, the incident should be taken as a warning—as a straw in the wind. If one by one our other customers should follow France’s lead, as opportunity permits, the blow would be nothing short of ruinous.

Today we are manufacturing 75 per cent more goods than we did in 1914. We are using 50 per cent more horse power in the making of them. Our wage earners have increased 25 per cent. Our foreign trade has doubled. We have almost no unemployment, largely because foreigners are taking our surplus off our hands. The loss of the gain our foreign trade has shown since the beginning of the World War alone would have disastrous effect upon American industry, upon the employment situation and upon our prosperity as a Nation. This latest, $90,000,000 incident between France and America should serve as a reminder of how interdependent the various members of the world family of nations are. It is another proof of how international friendships, understanding and good will are a paying proposition. There never was any wreck of the Hesperus on the reef of Norman’s Woe, according to the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. One of these days the Department of Agriculture will come along and tell us that Maud Muller never had a rake In her hand. Mayor Bill Thompson of Chicago finally has succeeded in having School Superintendent McAndrew voted out of office. Your majesty’s next. Hey, there, King George, your majesty's next! Gasoline at 10 cents a gallon is possible through a German process of reducing coal, bought by American capitalists. If our oil supplies run out in about fifty years, maybe they’ll sell us some. A Parisian proposes to take five days out of the calendar and give them names, leaving twelve months of thirty days each. Fine, if he can think up (t rhyme so we can remember when the five days come. A writer in a medical m&gazine suggests that patients who undergo operations be told exactly what has been done to them. We thought they could read that in their bank statements. Blaming jnodern jazz on the jellyfish tendencies of men may be O. K., but some of the credit for the holds you see on a modern dance must go to the monkey.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer

A woman owned a certificate for fifty shares of stock in a corporation. Her husband forged her signature to the certificate, and gave it to a bank as security for a loan. He defaulted in payment of the loan. The bank sold the stock certificate and applied the proceeds to payment of the loan. The wife, discovering this, sued the bank for the value of the stock, on the ground that she could not be deprived of the ownership of it by a forgery. The bonk contended that because the signature had been forged it never had acquired a valid title to the stock, and consequently, never having owned the stock, it should not be held liable for the value of it. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASfc? The actual decision; The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia held that the woman was entitled to recover the value of her stock from the bank because she had been deprived of it by a forgery, and the forgery had permitted the bank to obtain the proceeds from the sale of the stock. The court said: “The true owner of corporate stock can not be deprived of its ownership by forgery.”

(Baltimore Sun) Indictment of the Governor of Indiana and the mayor of Indianapolis, the former on charges of conspiracy to commit a felony and the latter on charges of political corruption, brings to a Scandal head scandals which have been bruited , about in the press for many months. Brought The accused declare that they are to Ittad victims of a political frame-up, but they have* not seemed to be at all eager to have their day in court. As they ari pilloried Just as a former Governor of the State comes out of a Federal penitentiary and after disclosures by a former grand dragon of the Ku-Klux Klan showing political conditions most humiliating to the State, the public will not readily accept the plea that they are innocent victims of political enemies. The Governor, particularly, has been content to rest under suspicion .that one occupying high office should have found intolerable and spared no effort to clear up. There is no doubt that the people of the State will welcome the opportunity to hear the truth. 1 For a number of years it has been the habit of the Republicans in the Middle West to beat their breasts and bewail the wickedness of Tammany. They have insisted the influenced Tammany was so sinister that election to the presidency of a man sponsored by it would be a threat to the welfare of the Nation. Certainly Indiana Republicans afld our old friend Jim Watson will have to six;g low on this key hereafter. A State in which two successive Governors are indicted for criminal practices and In which the mayor of its chelf city is haled before the bar of justice is not in position to throw stones. t J

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: The Comer Groceryman Can Lose a Customer Through Snobbishness, and So Can a Nation.

Henceforth, the prohibition service will have an official spokesman, which is just a polite way of saying that Mr. Lowman has been gagged. Mr. Lowman has been gagged because he talked too frankly. ' Ostensibly, he is being punished for offending New Yorkers by reflecting on the attitude of their State and prohibitionists by pointing out the difficulties of enforcing the law. In reality he offended political leaders by forcing them to think and talk about prohibition at this time, which is the last thing they wanted to do. Political leaders, regardless of party, are afraid of prohibition. They have been doing all they could to keep it out of the limelight, and Mr. lawman’s slopover threatened to spcil the game. That, more than any other reason, is why Secretary Mellon clamped on the lid.

Leaders’ Wishes President Coolidge said that while he was adverse to calling an extra session of Congress, he had an open mind and would be guided by the advice of party leaders. The party leaders have now given their advice and it is unfavorable, which makes it fair to assume that no extra session will be called. There is a lot that Congress might do if It were in the mood, but with a presidential campaign approaching, its mood Is doubtful.* Party leaders would probably approach other questions in the same frame of mind that they approach prohibition.

What they want right now is not to discuss perplexing problems, but to make pleasant gestures that will get votes. They are much more interested in the tax cut than in flood control, in a ballyhoo over the tariff than in farm relief and the chances are they would rather talk about tranoceanic flights than the foreign policy. Our Foreign Policy The foreign policy, as developed by Republican administrations in opposition to the Wilson program, is just beginning to reveal its effect. This Government has snubbed the civilized world by declaring for "splendid isolation” in a political way. The civilized world is retaliating by giving it “splendid isolation” in a trade way. • Panama challenges our right to control trade in the canal zone; France increases the duty of American goods by ,’kS much as 400 per cent in some cases; British steel producers offer a rebate to consumers who buy only British steel; Spain, Argentina and other countries delay the negotiations of trade treaties with the United States; Brazil, Chili, Spain, Argentina and Mexico protest the embargo this country has placed on their fruit and vegetables. Such activities are going to cost the average American real money before they cease. Snobbishness Costly Putting it bluntly, the United States has not taken a firm and dignified attitude toward the rest of the world, but has struck a snobbish, conceited, arrogant pose. The attitude of other nations merely reflects our own. They are having less and less to do with us commercially. The average American assumes that the rest of the world can not get along without the United States. The singular drift our foreign policy has taken is rooted in that assumption. Asa matter of record, we are not only an exporting nation, but definitely dependent on exports. Why We Prospered The great prosperity we have enjoyed results from the billions of dollars jvorth of goods we have been able to sell to other nations. The war increased our export trade tremendously, and our production machinery has been enlarged proportionately. If we cannot hold the foreign trade we acquired during the war and the post war periods, thousands of factories are going to shut down and millions of men are going to be out of work. It would have been Just as well had our statesmen thought of this when they embarked on their course of “splendid isolation.” Good Will Essential Foreign trade, like any other kind, depends measurably on good will. The corner groceryman can lose a customer through snobbishness, and so can a nation. This Government has offended a dozen neighbors by taking the position that it was too good to associate with them at the council table. Americans are still liked, but America is not, and the individual is made to suffer because of antagonism toward the crowd. ) r France’s Views France will treat our Leglnnaires with her customary punctiliousness. She will show them every courtesy, will protect them against every possible indignity and will put herself to great inconvenience in doing so without complaint. But when it comes to trade, treaties and a debt settlement, France will think of the United States that is standing aloof from Geneva, not the United States that came to her rescue, proclaiming war to end war. How are botchers and theater managers classified In the census? Butchers are classified as “trade” and theater managers as “professional airvice."

Roland Pertwee Wins His Right to Be Considered A Good Story Teller With Gentlemen March” ■ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

If you want to have a good time, a corking good romantic time, any evening. Just get hold of a copy of Roland Pertwee's “Gentlemen March.” And I will gamble mentally with you that you will not turn on the radio or even desire to answer the telephone until you have finished the 323rd page of this novel. I admit that “Gentlemen March” kept me busy the other night until the milkman came about 6:30 a. m. Pertwee has that foreign kingdom romantic dash about his writings which is to be so undo in McCutcheon’s "Graustark” and others of this modern romatic school, < Pertwee is the nearest approach to the “Graustark” type of writer thi.t I have met. There is a lot of action in this story—fights, warm bus honest love scenes between the pretty Princess of a Balkan kingdom and her lover, an English lad of some position and money. Pertwee shows the effect thao the World War had upon the Kingdom of Sciriel and shows how Foscani, one of these liberators and leaders of all men to the new "freedom,” attempted to cheat and bleed the kingdom to its death and to his own personal gain. But our hero steps in and after one exciting event after another,

Scholars Wrote Our Constitution

How flfty-flve men met at Philadelphia to frame the Constitution is told In this article, the third of Mr. Atwood's series. Tomorrow: "The Method of Its Slaking.’' BY HARRY ATWOOD President, Constitution Annlrersary Association When the convention met at Philadelphia in the late spring of 1787, there was assembled a group of notably superior men from the standpoint of mental acumen, political understanding and moral courage. Their lives had been devoted largely to study and thought concerning government and to the rendering of service to the Government. They were politically minded in the sense that Edison and Marconi are electrically minded, that Socrates and Emerson were philsophically minded, that Mozart and Mendelssohn were musically minded, that Newton and Kepler were scientifically minded. Fifty-five delegates were in attendance at the convention, and thirtynine of them signed the Constitution. Os the other sixteen, a number would have signed had they not been called home before the close of the convention by illness, pressing family matters or urgent business. From All Walks Among the delegates were; lawyers, physicians, merchants, financiers educators, farmers, soldiers and statesmen. Mora important than their special calling or profession, however, is the fact that the delegates were men of great natural ability and strength cf character, devoted* whole-heartedly to the'public welfare. 0 It is interesting to note that twenty-five of the delegates were college graduates in those days when a college education was difficult to acquire. The calling most numerously represented was the legal profession which had thirty-one members, including several who were also judges. More than half of them had rendered distinguished military service during the Revolutionary War, and a number had served an apprenticeship in constitution-rraking for their various States. . Franklin Then 81 Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, at 81 years of age, was the oldest delegate. He brought to the deliberations of the convention the ripe experience resulting from a long life of distinguished service to his country both at home and abroad and was the gr~at harmonizing influence of the convention. Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey, at 26 years of age was the youngest delegate. He later served in Congress "ai speaker of the House and

succeeds in destroying Focani’s entire army and even killing the false leader in the palace of the king. And then we see the beautiful Princess become Queen. And then—Oh, well, lovers must be happy even in fiction you know. Nikko Cheyne is our real he-man hero in this story. He is an interesting chap because he is always the gentlemen when with gentlemen, and he has the courage of an entire army. Nikko is not anew type of a hero but he plays his game of romance in this c’.ay after the World War. You will enjoy meeting Nikko. He is the real sort. “Gentlemen March” is published by Houghton Mifflin Cos. Put this one on your reading list and find another favorite story which claims a right to rest in your memory next to “Graustark.” Lucky Children I have before me the copy of the catalog of The MacMillan Company showing their books for boys and girls. Here is one catalog that I keep the year round. It is as charming as the children books that the MacMillan Company publishes.

as United States Senator. Dayton, Ohio, was named in his memory, George Washington was unanimously chosen as presiding officer. He was the great central figure of that epoch. Hamilton Close Adviser Alexander Hamilton was Washington’s closest adviser. At that time, only 30 years old. he was an outstanding political genius, and rendered great service as our first Secretary of the Treasury. James Madison of Virginia was later President of the United States for two terms. He kept a record of the proceedings which have come to be known as the Madison Papers. Oliver Ellsworth oi' Connecticut was afterward United States Senator and author of the fij-st judiciary act, and later chief justice of the United States Supreme Court by appointment at Washington. Abraham Baldwin of Georgia was afterward United States Senator and founder and first president of the University of Georgia. Baldwin County, in Georgia, was named in his memory.

When I was a youngster, a catalog such as MacMillan issues would be considered one of the greatest story books ever published. Even to me at my age, this catalog is a book of wonders. It is a regular art gallery and some of the art work is done by leading artists of this day. That is those artists who draw for books and book covers. The book cover by the way ht s become a really great art. The book cover is th3 show window of the book. One of its most useful features for mothers and fathers is a list of books suitable for children of all ages. I recommend this list. Indianapolis theaters today offer: “The Unkissed Bride,” at English’s; “Sunshine Sammy at the Lyric; “The Bugle Call,” at the Apollo; “Dimpled Darlings,” at the Mutual; Charlie Davis at the Indiana; “Camille,” at the Circle; movies at the Isis, and “The Gingham Girl,” a* the Ohio.

Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania is said to have given the finishing style to the Constitution and during the convention to have given utterance to the prophecy: “The whole human race will be affected by the proceedings of this convention.” These are only a lew of the many remarkable mep who served in the convention. It is a striking fact that many of the fifty-five delegates because either presidents of the United States, foreign ministers, justice of the Supreme Court, college presidents, United States Senators, members of the cabinet, or Governors of States. Many people seem to have the impression that John Hancock, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry were delegates to the Constitution convention. Adams was in England, and Jefferson was in France while the convention was in session. Henry was appointed a delegate, but refused to serve, and Hancock was not appointed as a delegate to the convention by his State.

Why the Weather?

By Oharlaa Fltzhugh Talman Authority oi Meteorology

The “equinoctial storm,” otherwise known as the “line storm,” is a myth. Statistics show that there is no maximum of storm frequency, either in this country or in Europe, close to the date of either equinox, when the sum crosses the “line” (i. e.) the equator. Os course, in the long run many storms do occur about thfese dates, just as they occur at all other times of the year, but there is no scientific reason for supposing that their occurrence can be connected in any way with the sun’s passage over what the schoolboy described as “a menagerie lion running around the earth.” In this country an “equinoctial" is looked for particularly In September, about the time of the autumnal equinox. On Sept. 3, 1925, the naval airship "Shenandoah” wa destroyed in a storm over Ohio. Some authorities believed this storm to be of the type known as a “line squall,” which advances across the country with a linear front, so that a long narrow strip of country is affected at the same time by its passage. The storm was described under this name in the newspaper reports of the disaster. Most American newspaper readers had never heard of a "line squall,” but believed firmly in the recurrence each year of the “line storm,” alias the “equinoctial.” The curious result of all this was that the wreck of the Shenandoah vmg widely attributed to an “equinoc®| storm.” (All rights reserved by Science Service, Inc.)

Times Readers Voice Views

To the Editor: It is a grand and glorious feeling to be a Republican, imbued by memories of the achievements of our forefathers. This is so because our forefathers made it so. Mills never grind with waters that are past. It Is our duty to relay to the future the torch of patriotism received from the past. This trust is a continuing one and eternal diligence is necessary. If we perform this trust we shall prosper; if we do not, we shall die. Great victorious armies have what Caesar called “impediments," what Sherman called “hangers on,’’ what parties and society call “undesirable,” what housekeepers call “pests,” what the genteel call “laundry.” The problem and test is “what shall be done about removing the unmentionable?” The Republioan party can be depended upon to do its full duty and clean its own house in its own efficient way. Now is the time for all good Republicans to get together, return to the faith of the far,hers, drink inspiration and patriotism from “The old oaken bucket, ‘*fm The Iron-bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket. The old O. O. P. bucket. That served us so well.” The legally selected committees should “elect the tickets,” not make them. Candidates should be selected by conventions of delegates elected by the people. There should be a rotation of political officials. The greatest speech by Henry Clay was on "Rotation of Office.” a requisite to preserve harmony and probity. With these ends in view, I am willing to announce myself a candidate for chairmanship of the Republican county committee, to serve as a John the Baptist, until the proper man can be found. Long ago I was thirty years a member thereof and a delegate to every character of Republican convention except national. No candidate supported by me ever was indicted or impeached. Gold and silver have I none, but such as I have is consecrated. I believe in fealty—nob slavery—to party. WARWICK H. RIPLEY.
