Get Eid of Coffin in the rare pleasure of hearing some Republican primary candidates tell the truth about others, some citizens may lose sight of one of Ihe chief issues of the campaign, so l’ar as Marion County is concerned. it is highly important that the Republican rank and file seize the opportunity to rebuke such men as James Eli Watson and Arthur Robinson, but it is just as important to the fair name, yes, even the safety of this community, that the political doom of George V. Coffin, Republican coumy and city chairman, be assured. Coffin has not yet been tried on the same charges of political bribery as Governor Ed Jackson faced in February, so it is not known whether he also is to be the beneficiary of the statute of limitations, but Coffin's conduct of his party organization has been on trial for four years with the people as the jury. The verdict should be brought in May 8, primary election day. The people may return Ihe verdict by their votes for precinct committeemen. The committeemen elected May 8 will choose the new county chairman on the Saturday following. Coffin has announced he will not accept the jolt again, but few persons are so dense as to believe that Coffin is retiring from politics. There will be a “Coffin candidate'’ for county chairman and the wily George V. will be directing the battle—e\en now is laying his plans. For a time it appeared that there would be a united movement of the numerous Republican factions outside the Coffin organization to unseat the boss, ally of D. C. Stephenson, close friend of the discredited Ed Jackson, and the convicted John L. Duvall. But this movement appears to have gone on the rocks of failure. Unless some other coalition is accomplished, it will he a of Coffin against the field, with the odds favoring Coffin. The intelligent voter will find out which candidate for committeeman in his precinct is unalterably opposed to all that Coffin represents ancl vote for him. This will not be an easy job. It can't be put off until election day, because the only information the ballot will .give is the names of the candidates for committeemen. Coffin workers can be counted upon to be standing around the polls passing out slips urging election of their particular mar. The slips will not inform the voters that the candidate is a Coffin man—that can be predicted confidently, too. Decent Republicans should begin to wateh for the appearance of the candidates for committeemen, and make it a business of prime importance to find out before election day just who is who. The Morrow Calles Pact When, six months ago, the United States abandoned its big-stick diplomacy in Mexico and adopted instead a policy oi sympathy, courtesy and understanding, it paved the way for this week's deal wherein we swapped a possible war for a valuable friendship and peace, In other words, it seems, the apparently interminable row between the United States and Mexico over Mexico's oil land laws has been ended by treaty. President Callcs and Ambassador Morrow did in two months what a bluffing and blustering State Department has been unable to do in ten years. What a lesson this should be to our Department of Stale in its future dealings with Latin America--and what a stinging rebuke for past performance. Kindness instead of kicks turned the trick and not t.he least significant thing about it all is that the broad road to this agreement has been wide open before the department all the time. We recall, for example, an interview which this newspaper's foreign editor had with President Callcs more than a year ago—to be exact, on Feb. 28, 1927. Opening with the remark that Mexico and the United States seemed doomed never to understand each other, the correspondent asked why. “That's just what we Mexicans want to know,” the president answered, somewhat bitterly, as If to say the fault was not entirely his. "Well, if you were the United States, what would you do?” “That's easy," he replied, quick as a shot. “For your present policy I'd substitute a policy of sympathy, courtesy, and friendship and I'd try to understand not just my own side of the question, but both.” “In other words,” the interviewer suggested, “the material obstacles in the way of an understanding would seem to be less than the psychological ones. Getting along with Mexico is largely a question of manner.” “Exactly.'' the president exclaimed. Such, in effect., was the gist of the interview, every word of which has been borne out by subsequent events. Ambassador Morrow's victory shat President Callcs was 100 per cent sincere. No sooner had President Coolidge taken the initiative from Secretary of State Kellogg, accepted the resignation of Ambassador Sheffield, and appointed Dwight Morrow in Sheffield’s place than the highly congealed atmosphere about Chapultepec began to thaw. Morrow arrived in Mexico City with friendliness in one hand and a textbook of “How to Speak Spanish” in the other. He burnt midnight oil studying, not one side, but both sides of the oil controversy. He mingled with the Mexican people. He and President Callcs “buddied around,” inspecting irrigation projects, industrial schools, cattle farms, and whatnot. He toured the country to learn all he could about Mexico, her people, and her difficulties. At last, when he and Calles tackled the dispute had kept Mexico and the United States at

daggers drawn for a decade, he did so in a friendly spirit of give and take. In two months the job was done. Every legitimate American interest in Mexico, we are told, Is protected by the agreement. Yet nowhere does it infringe upon the rights, dignity, or sovereignty oi either nation. If we did not have too many laws already, we'd be strongly tempted to ask Congress to pass another. Hereafter every Secretary of State and every minister and ambassador to every Latin American country should be required to stand up and recite, from beginning to end, the whole story of our dispute with Mexico before being given his commission. Especially the end: This they should have to recite twice. Justice That Happens Sometimes there is a sort of rough justice in the course of events, after all. Ohio recently sent three notorious murderers to prison. Each was a gunman of the worst type; in each case a sentimental jury refused to vote the death penalty but agreed on a wholly inadequate prison term. But these three murderers, not satisfied with that, tried, at different times, to escape from prison. And each was shot to death in the attempt. Sometimes, after all, the course of events brings a kind of rough justice. Maybe They’ll Fly to School Two children in a middle western city recently saved their pennies until they could pay for an airplane ride to a nearby metropolis. They made the trip, saw the sights and got back none the worse. A sign of the times, this. In the old days a youngster looked forward to going somewhere on the train. Later, he awaited the day when he could ride in an automobile. Now he looks to the sky. We re progressing. If our children are growing up to accept airplanes as stable features of life, you can imagine what aviation will be like twenty years from now. 0 Kate Adams Comes Back The ancient side-wheel steamer Kate Adams, whose name has been famous up and down the Mississippi River for years, is to go into regular service again this summer on the Ohio River, between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. There was a great deal of color and romance to the. old river packet boats, and many people were sorry to see them fall before more efficient transportation methods. Let's hope that the Kate Adams j can pay her way. We can stand a little more color in our economic system. Cotton dresses can be made in thirty minutes at a cost of 75 cents to $1.50, according to a recent bulletin of the Cotton Textile Institute. Thirty minutes seems quite a lot of time wasted in making one of those modern gowns. Williamsburg, the colonial capital of Virginia, is spending $2,000,000 to restore its Revolutionary aspect, A couple of other cities we know* cf would spend that much to get rid of theirs, A man is on trial in New York charged with annoying a reformer. They have odd ideas of crime in New York. A man arrested in Kansas City for honking his horn says he was doing it just for fun. The pleasure is all ours. Music has been introduced n French prisons to soothe the convicts. Going to prison there means facing It. A Harvard professor has located anew planet. He has the figures on its orbit and is willing to help anyone who is flying that way.

n-irM nirtz on s Trapping the Electron No. 14

SIR J. J. THOMSON, the great British scientist,, was the first to prove the existence of the elec--tron. A great scientist. Prof. R. A. Millikan, was the first to isolate and to measure accurately the size of the electron. The work which they and other famous scientists did in the last thirty years led to our present understanding of the structure of matter. Thomson began his experiments with the Crookes tube, the same sort of tube as that with which Rdent-

SC ny ■tUA ; = MILLIKAN ~~1

covered that X-rays were given off when the discharge struck the sides of the tube. Thomson undertook to find out what the electric discharge in the tube, technically called the cathode rays, really were. He found by experiment that when a magnet was brought near the tube, the rays were attracted by the positive pole of the magnet and repelled by the negative pole. From the relationship between the behavior of the cathode rays and the strength of the magnet, Thomson came to the conclusion that the cathode rays actually consisted of minute particles. it was also obvious that the particles were charged negatively. These particles came to be called electrons, Today we know that the atoms of matter are composed of these tiny electrons. Prof. R. A. Millikan devised a delicate experiment in which a tiny droplet of oil was electrified and permitted to float between two electrified metal plates. From the behavior of the oil droplet, Millikan could calculate the electric charge upon it. This was merely a calculation of the number of electrons on it and so it was possible to calculate the size of the electron. The electron is unbelievably small. Millikan's experiment actually gave the electric charge of the electron. But from that, we can make guesses as to its size. The electron is so small that ten billion lined up ii\ a row could be placed on the period at the end of this sentence. -

Editor Times: May I say a few' things in observance of Good Friday? Many people will let the day pass without a thought as to w-hat it means. The whole community is upset by the news of a murder, especially if the victim is an innocent child. It is talked of for days and weeks. But no murder could compare with the sufferings and death of Jesus on the cross. He was as innocent as any child. So let us spend the three holy i hours from 12 to 3 p. m. in prayer and meditation. Let us go with Our Saviour on this sorrowful journey. Weakened by the scourging and loss of blood. He falls three times under the load of the heavy cross. With each fall the crown of thorns j is driven deeper in the flesh and j increase His suffering. Having arrived at Calvary, He is j stripped of His garments. Howpainful must this have been, becuse they adhered to His wounded and torn body and with them parts of His bloody skin were removed. The place is dug for the cross. The holes are made for the nails, j Jesus is rudely thrown upon the cross and His hands and feet are violently extended. The nails arc driven through His delicate members. The bones are distended and the nerves torn. The cross is then dragged to the pit and roughly let fall into it. The jar widens the wounds of Jesus. The excruciating agony is visible to all. Oh! the sight of that face! The agony of it! The streaming blood! The crown of thorns' The eyes glassy with pain! The parted mouth, dry with th<\ fever of suffering! Surely, this picture is worthy of our consideration on this solemn and holy aay. An Observer of Good Friday,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ALL around these master-songs flowered the lighter verse of the troubadours, taking the hunger of the body for body and spiritualizing it with their poetry into the thirst of soul for soul. To these singers love became a religion, with its strict ritual and creed; tiny believed in love as an almighty power ancl the highest god; no allegiance could be loftier, and at the command of his lady the lover would even blaspheme God. Nor were the laws of church and State above this coming passion; love was its own warrant, and needed no legitimation from without: it might overstep the restriction monogamy without scruple if love was real. Most of the verse of the trovatori, the trouveres. and the troubarours is the voice of what recent morals called illicit passion; as George Moore has put it, the great principle of chilvaric love was fidelity to another man's wife. This poetry was written for feminine ears, and to console women who had married wisely but not well, ladies whose husbands were titles ancl lands rather than tireless lovers. It was taken for granted that marriage would put an end to love anyway; therefore the troubadours brought their lads and lassies not to the altar but to the frids and forests full of pleasant secrecy. A code of honor in this now dishonorable devotion arose among the poets and their readers - and great ladies like Eleanor of Aquitaine and Marie of France held court in their castles to settle disputes on subtle phases in tiic casuistry of l’amour courtois, or courtly love. In the end the sweet madness came to a close of its own excess; romance became to romantic to have in it the blood of life; it could fill volumes forever, but not hearts. The poets did not wait for Cervantes to demonstrate the absurdities of romance, they saw' the tragedy of desire perhaps more deeply than he. for in the midst of their song they mourned tho brevity of love. rt tt tt THE most characteristic production of l amor courtois was the Romance of (ho Rose.” Guillaume de Lorris wrote its first and finer parts in 4,000 lines, ancl then died; Jean de Meung took up the tale and added 18,000 lines; even the most romantic soul must have been satiated by the interminable allegories of the Rose of Love; but note this strange passage, lurking like some poison amid the flowers of chivalric sentiment, and breathing a. sadness which marks the. end of an age.

'T'HIS extract from what was I once supposed to be Chaucer's translation from the French, may stand as evidence of the rapid development of the new languages of Europe into literary instruments. The old Gothic dialects had slowly developed into the powerful German which we shall sec in the mouth of Luther; the mingling of the Angles, Saxons, Danes, and Norman French in the making of England was producing an English which Chaucer would immortalize; while in the Latin countries the old Roman tongue had been broken down and softened into the Romance languages which were soon to express the genius of Dante and Petrarch, Cervantes and Caleron, Montaigne and Rebclais. Already the time of Cliarle-' magne the speech of the people of France hacUgrown so different from the Latin oi the scholars that the Emperor had ordered the priests to preach in thy “vulgar” <i. e„ common) tongue,’ lest their sweetness be waisted on desert air.

still close to that of Imperial Rome, hesitated between Latin and Italian; Petrarch gave nearly all of his time to classical scholarship, and smiled superiorly at those Italian sonnets which have carried his name and Laura's name down to us, and set for so many centuries the sonnet form; Dante wrote two significant treaties in Latin “Do Monarchia” ancl “Do Vulgar; Eloquentia"— 'On the Speech of the People”; but when the time came for his masterpiece he chose his native tongue, and gave to the world a form cf beauty which it had never had before. The old and the new tongues rivaled one another in both poetry and prose. The Venerable Bede wrote, in the eighth century, a. Latin history of the Church of England, which is quite forgotten; various saints wrote great Latin Hymns, like the "Dies Irae” and the “Siabat Mater”, which are kept alive on'y by ritual or music. But Froissart wrote chronicles in English, and De Joinville wrote them in French. Petrarch sang songs in Italian, and Walter von der Wogelwide sang them in German; Chaucer wrote talcs in English. and Boccaccio told them in Italian; and all these men are living geniuses, whom any alert mind could enjoy today. Patrarch was the soil of a Florentine who had been exiled with Dante; he was born at Arezzo in 1304. and became a poet because he was made to study law against his will. He developed a passion lor collecting ancient and medieval manuscripts, and spent his fortune for them. His love for Laura was but a passing incident in his life; he had taken orders and could not marry her: else we should not have had sonnets from him; it is inaccessible

With Other Editors

Charleston iW. Ya.i Gazelle For sheer brass you have to award the palm to Jim Watson of Indiana. There are other polilicians who have gall in abundance, but none to match shat of the senior Senator from the Hoosicr State. His candidacy for the presidency is without parallel in the political history of this country. For, as Frank Kent points out, here is the record of his notorious political machine in Indiana in the last four years: One Governor convicted and serves a term in the penitentiary. Another Governor indicted ancl escapes conviction through the statute ot limitations. The mayor of Indianapolis indicted and convicted. Six members of Indianapolis city council indicted and awaiting trial. Republican State chairman indicted. Republican chairman of Marion County indicted. state bank examiner indicted. Former State treasurer indicted. Former city purchasing agent indicted. Former city market master and various minor officials indicted. That any man would dare aspire to the presidency with such a machine record behind him is simply amazing. It has never been equaled. Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel Senator Watson’s campaign for the .presidency is insincere, a charge that the Senator alreadyhas denied and will continue to deny. Os course, he w r ould deny it. It is very much to be regretted, however, that Senator Watson has permitted the directors of his campaign and his press agents to deliberately misrepresent. We had hoped and still hope that the primary campaign can be conducted on a high plane, that there may be an honest comparison ol the two men. Mr. Watson's press agents are undertaking to say that Hoover is not American enough and Republican enough to be Present and, yet, Hoover's attitude r.i the

charms that turn desire into poetry. Petrarch's actulal passion was not for mistresses, but for manuscripts, he had a flair for collecting them (i. e., manuscripts) and spent his own and his father’s fortune on them. He was the first modern man to collect libraries, and almost the first to call for the restoration ot classical literature to the highest place in education. I-lis Italian love-poems gave him fame among the people, and Dad enormous influence in every language, and helped to secure for him the crown placed upon his head at Rome in 1341 as the supreme Italian poet of the generation alter Dante. But, strange to say, his heart was not in these songs so much as in the libraries, and in the quest for papyri that would open further to him that ancient world of culture of which he was almost the first to get a glimpse in reawakened Europe. “For him.” says Symonds, “the authors of the Greek and Latin world were living men; ... he dwelt with them on terms of sympathetic intimacy.” He died among the books of his great library in 1374. still dreaming of the revival of Latin, ana not knowing that he was one of the fathers of modern literature, an overture to the Renaissance. The world knows 'ms friend and follower, Boccaccio, far better than himself, for there is no such open sesame to fame as a reputation for immorality. It docs not know him for his learned Latin works, nor for his scholarly devotion to the discovery and preservation of classical manuscripts; it remembers only the stories with which nr amused his leisure: and the world is right.

tariff and League of Nations is that, of outstanding Republican leaders. Official documents show that Mr. Hoover had absolutely nothing to do in the wartime fixing ol wheat prices. A “whispering campaign" is in progress and charger, are being made that the devoted office-holding and office-seeking followers of Mr. Watson would not dare make in the open. Have they nothing affirmative to present on behalf of their candidate? But they say that Mr. Hoover was absent from the United Stater, for many years. This charge overlooks the very substantial benefits that this country obtains from the activities of our engineers in other countries w'hich promote sale of American machinery and American equipment. It disregards the very manifest fact that Mr. Hoover, by his acquaintance with conditions abroad and his broad comprehension of international affairs, has been able substantially to increase American exports and thus add to employment of working men and returns to the American farmer. This has been especially true during his term as secretary of commerce. Then, too. what are the essential facts? Except for two years prior to the war. Mr. Hoover was during some portion of each year, at his home in the United States. It lias hitherward that his footsteps turned. His neighbors have shown for the last nineteen years he has maintained a home in California. on the campus of Leland Stanford University. There his two sons, now grown to manhood, were educated. Mr. Hoover’s Americanism and his Reublicanism were not questioned by Senator Watson when on two occasions he approved his appointment to the cabinet. Why question them now? But what about I lie candidacy of Senator Watson? Who is so bold as to believe in the possibility of his nomination? He has no chance and he knows it, because he is a shrewd politician and thoroughly understands the game of politics.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: ‘ Those Wlw Think We Are Groivivf? Weaker as Well as Wiser Should Read the News.”

Dr. Edwin R. Blarney, veterinarian of the American Kennel Club; has marie quite a reputation by debarking dogs. He says the oj>eration is comparatively simple and painless, but that is not enough to quell a rising tide of protest. In the minds of many people, it is just; another case of repressing free speech. “The dog has a right to bark.' 1 they say, “and it is morally wrong to deprive him of it.” Doctor Blarney says that since some people like their dogs without the bark, and since the bark can be removed without injuring the dog, there seems no good reason •vhy science should not be allowed ; to act. it a Right of Free Speech Free speech involves the same I kind of arguments, whether it is i a premier of Spain muzzling the i pros'-, or a veterinary clipping the | vocal chords of a dog. Teople arc for free speech when : it suits their fancy and conviction. The man who keeps a dog to watch ; over his property wants nothing so ! much as a good bark, and even j General De Rivera would find no ; quarrel with the Spanish newspapers if they confined themseves to praise of his administration. tt u a Killing the Noise Tire value of free speech does not consist in the amusement or satisfaction it affords, but in the greater understanding it brings about | through the clash and conflict of ! ideas. Those who would suppress it because they do not like the noise, or cannot brook opinions contrary to their own, fail to realize the purpose it serves and the reason why it should be tolerated. A barklrss dog might be as good to play with as any other kind, and ; the same thing is true of a speechless people. a h a Better Minds and Bodies Those who think we are growing weaker as well as wiser shoulu read I the news. Two world's record recently have i gone by the board. Haldcman and Stinson remained in the air fiftyI three hours while Mrs. Schommel i sv am for thirty-two hours, Gs these two feats, Mrs. Schom- | mel's was not the least significant. The record that she broke had ! stood for forty-seven years. In spite of our seeming dependi ence on mechanical devices, wc are producing the best swimmers, | fastest runners and highest I jumpers of all time. Science has helped men, to de- ; velop better bodies, as well as better | minds. ) We have learned not only how/to keep healthy, but how to grow strong through cleanliness, wli/lesomc food and sanitary surroundings. which brings to mind the latest commotion in New York. tt It H No Beds for Homeless ! Last Saturday night Health Commissioner Harris closed four lodging houses for the homeless and unemployed on the ground that they were not fit to sleep in. A thousand or more persons thus were deprived of beds without warning and without the price to get them somewhere else, Some found shelter in the city's lodging house, some begged the necessary two bits and some sought the park, the dump or a back alley. The argument cannot be ended by i asking whether a dirty bed is bet- | ter than no bed at all. Commissioner Harris is right, of course, in doing everything possible i to prevent the inception, or spread : of disease, but it, seems as though he might have found some way of cleaning up these houses without closing them. ft tt ff A German Bond Issue Premier Poincare of France has come around to the point where he is willing to consider a. German bond issue for t he purpose of paying i reparations in cash, The importance of this in the tact, that tt, includes a Willingness to reduce reparations by a vast percentage. j If Germany pays in cash, the amount will not be $26,000,000,000, or anything like it. America's interest in the proposition. however, comes a little closer to home than that, The allies can agree to reduce reparations for cash in hand and Germany can issue bonds without our advice or assistance, but when it comes to marketing those bonjds, we will be expected to do the buying.
