iVr. Newberry, Convict No. ? ? ? ? ? ?, And Sixteen Others, Begin Americanization Lessons Next Cell to Beider and Debs
CONVICTION of that nccr-atlon of Newberry comiTllonijta In Michigan will 00:71? as a rarprls to no on who known the ways of fdlk -stocking politicians of the tM republican school, as It has operated In Wolverine state for yer. It will not ret "well with th eorrupt!or.l?ts of any political echool. but with the 0f the penp, not only In Michigan, bnt throughout the country, theM Is evlience here that decency In politics I pornothins: upon which wo have a m'ht to ir.!.-t. The Grand XUpU? verdict. If permitted to run lti course, unhampered by evasive, reversing aptaln. will prove or.o of the, greater Americanizing lnflupne of the day. The federal Jury hr says to the r.cw-American scra'thlr.g by thyt verdict that he has reeded to hear, that America a povemmpn. maintained by ballots, not by boodle; this at ki?t In thory, and a condition that we propose to have established as a fact. Give the ti"W-Amor!Mn a little of this. Indicating to him effectively that the corruption cf the ballot Is a dangerous thine?. even for millionaires, and thev will make better Amerlcahb. The verdict serves to squeeze a whole lot of the hypocrisy out of our murh mooted Americanism, as !t is howled from the heusetops of men of the Newberry Ptripe. Maybe It will serve too as 1 -ort of warning to Ifen. Will Kaytr, republican national chairman. In hlfl promotion of his barrel campaign In which he Is so concerned In connection with the coming presidential canvas. Indeed, It offers a suggestion to pome Indiana politicians should they attempt to pursue again, the court that they followed In lSlO & course th.it tnty or may not have had something to do with Sen. Watson'a attltv.de on the privilege and elections committee, which whitewashed the Michigan man of the charts on which he now sands convicted, and save him his peat. Under the clrcuroKta.nc.es, Indeed, there Is a lesson In tha Michigan eae for Indiana quite as well as Michigan. The whitewash that Sen. Watson helped apply to Pn. T'ewberry, whoso case was placed before the fenate and thrown nut without Investigation, -strikes home to us with a somewhat approving rede from that Indiana peat, and quite as disgracefully a.s did the conviction of Ton Roberts end hit cohorta at Term Haute. For the Michigan jury did not shirk its duty by acquitting the men at the top and convicting those at the bottom. It accordingly struck close to Son. Watson's seat, and scabbed off a close associate. With this conviction reversing that Judgment of the senate it remains to be seen now whether the senate will have the honor to reverse Itself. Wm the eenate do to Newberry now what the house" did to BeTjrer er does it mal; some difference whether a convict Is a republican or a socialist? Oh, of co-orve, there Is a pTeat difference bet veen mifrfreMfnjr the "bolshevi.slr.g" of tho government by preAcbJnar, and trying to 6teal it by fraud! Watch the renate eldertep the issue. Mr. Newberry, meet Mr. Herprer and Mr. Debs. Mr. Berger and Mr. Debs, take a few lessons in tin-Ameiican!?m from Mr. Xewberry. You're fellow convicts now. Get acquainted.
GERMAN MONARCHISTS MAY TAKE ON NEW HOPE FROM SENATE'S ACTION FATlAmn of the senate to ratify tho Paris treaty, and its return to the president, is disappointing to no one save the senate majority which, through Its death-dealing to-called reservations, hoped to make fools of the minority. Perhaps you could add to this the political henchmen of that majority, scattered broadcast over the country, to whom prlnrirlo is a? a fettlsh; thee anl Col. W. .1. Pryan and Herbert Hoover hut In that you have tho disappointed ones pretty well corraled. It is at hast to the credit of the United State that tho treaty, though not ratiMcd, gos back to the executive without an ofUctally applied hypocritical butcheryTho country understands, and the world will be, :..id to understand. Failure to ratify the treaty has b?en a matter cf internal politics; a partisanship more concerned In ratifying the adherents of llerlin and Ijblin, bidding for the German-American and Irish-American vutt.--. thin in the fulfillment of any American principle, or the keeping of ;;r.y American promi?, regardless of the thousands f rravrs ever which tho?v promises wer? made. Thf?e partisms will tell you during the coming prctlJentlal canvas how they will settl with Germany and with the allies, so ns to protect American interests, lr.dep.endenc, eovereiprnty, etc.. sop fvr the FlTlr, but hew they will harmoniz what th'v propose, in keeping "vith th.e Ldge reservations which they hae teen unablo to put over; h.srmonlre them with th.e principles upon which the war was foujfhl. they wilt nevtr tell yu and dare not try. Menr.whll. r. :iM. probiMllty we will continue fcvsttinjr dally rrport from Iorlin, es we have for the pa;t weel:. telling cf the re?:irnitioni of Ir. on Kr'pp. and rth-r German inonarchlts. who ascended a w k nco ta the control of the government; that I. nnyb wo will and maybe- we won't. How much the r.urorean situation, with particular reference to Germany, has been eased off In th' prs reports that too much prtsure miht not be 1 rcuffht to bear upon the senate to ratify the treaty : its or!giral form, and to aid ratification with the I.e. Ice r of ervatlor.s. we will probably never know. However, a daily resignation looks to us mere like prrr3?.ir.(la than nw?, or.J though we have been publishing the reports as they have com to u.-. it has not been withont mLrivir.rs. Again reasureA that tho United States will not .Join th L.eag-u of Nations, at leas! for a long while, and perhns never with any degree cf virility, wo car. pretty r.e.-r expect th's monarchists in quest of German control, to assert themselves ax.iin, cen :f they have popped a'. l temporarily. Maybe they now contemplate capture of the government by way of th.e ballot box; jut as the moneyed hut or racy cf America oc-a,-'.'-r..illy prats off the government over here. Thv!r car.didate. It seems. If that i t b th procc.. is to be the- jrrizzled eld Hln-
denburg; not alone the candidate of the monarchists and militarists either, but cf the socialists and other radical". And it N the "Imperial German republic." to the presidency of xhlch he .'isplre?; get that "Imperial." It would have been sufpo.ed. ordinarily, that at le?st the socialists and radicals had had enoufrh of the representatives of the old milltarv autocracy, but if the democratic republic, America, is so willing to help, as we are doing by our non-activity In the treaty matter, what are we to expect of Germany anyway? The senate bidding for the Irish-American vote, expresses Itself that England should grant Independence to Ireland, oh yes, and then with the fame breath, to catch the German-American vote, makej its contribution to the restoration of the autocracy of Prussia. IIJndenbur.T stands for the whole iniquitous system which It was at first supposed went to smash with Germany's defeat. Hip election would mean putting the "o k" of the German people back on the old autocracy, and why shouldn't they with the old familiar report fron; the United States senate wafting across the seas, literally approving of it, through the repudiation by that body of all that we told Germany and the world we were f'ghting for. at the time we took that old autocracy to task? It Is the same fiddling while the world is burning that has marked the attitude of the republican leadership of the Fer.ate from the start of the treaty discussion. Not once have those leaders given any sign of understanding the gravity of the world situation or of having any sympathy for the people In their uffr!ntr or for their hopes of holding Germany to tak, restoring peace, and setting up a plan to prevent war. What impressed the world as a great moral ssuo h3s been treated by the reactionaries as a football for politics. So In view of the way such rej ublicar.s turned against the document at the first when people throughout the allied countries were urglnp Its acceptance and the enemy was admitting the justice of It, there need be no surprise that the fiddling In the seriate has continued in this crisis.

HEPLER'S CONGRESSIONAL BOOM. STATE SEN. GEO! IGE V. HEPLER. having announcfd himtelf and filed his application for a place on the democratic ballot as a candidate for congress from this district, should also at onco file his resignation ns state senator, and open tha field to others to enter the race for that othe on their respective party tickets. Sen. Kepler having succumbed, or apparently so, to the Henoch-Hoban '"wet" propaganda, and placed himself in the running for a federal office, has no right to attempt to hold onto his state penatorshlp until he sees whether or not ho Is nominated at the primary, any more than he has to hold onto It to see whether or not he is victor at the fall election, and then expect to finish his term as senator If his efforts to servo In Washington should fall. Hen. Kepler has another two years to serve In Indianapolis, if he wishes to serve It, a senatorship In the state being a four year office of which he has served only two. Any holding onto that office on his part, so ns to preclude others from filing for the primary, would leave the filling of the senatorial ticket at that time, in case he should be nominated for congress, to the county organizations, while should It run along until after the election, and he fehoutd be elected which wc would hardly encourage, it would mean a special election. Anyhow If the senator's statesmanship has evolved to such dizzy heights that h must have a congressional seat from which to exert his powers he ought to have quit his senatorship with the filing of his application. As to the "wetness" ef the senator's ambitions, pay what he may, a man is judged in large degree by the people whom he attracts, and by the people who attract him. Wet leaders, and spouters, cannot run around town telling that they are going to bring out thus and so for congress, to represent their cat:e, and then expect the public to believe after ho has finally come out, that, indeed, there was nothing to that sort of thing. That is Just the eld way of two face dr. ess. The "wets" will carry their message to the 'wets." you can re.nt solemnly assured of that; but while pretending the opposite, the candidate, carrying booze on one shoulder and water on the other, is expected to bo able to hoodwink the "drys." This "light wine" and "beers" stuff is a subterfuge and that is all it is. It Is calculated to add to the "wets" tho "almost dry's" and then in the consummation render prohibition a complete farce, if not actually bring back the saloon. Of course, the senator has a riqht to run for congress if he wants to. That no one should have heard of his ambitions in that direction, however, until a man concededly "dry" had come to the fore. In the democratic canvas, and then that he should have been heralded by the (floaters for Edwards, and the old suikservients to brewery control, speaks louder than his words, at least In the lar.gruage of applied politics. He may be a victim, as ho says, of unwise friends, but there Is no room for compromise on such an issue, and under conditions, as they are. the public needs take no chance on b-ng deceived. The liquor traffic ha.s been outlawed In the state and In the nation without much regard for the partisan affiliations of those who cutluwed It. democrats and republicans literally vieing with each other for a larger showing under the banner, ami in Indiana especially, Mr. Kepler has no record, either In the upper or lower house of the assembly, that justifies th.e confidence of "dry" democrats cr republicans either one, particularly
with port.

"Now that th cold, cheerless das o' winter are upon 119 a few words as regards home entertainment are In order." declared MKs Fawn Lip-p-lncut, before th' Homo Brewin Club, last night. "O course times have changed so that most homes don't pretent t compete with down town attractions, but fer th' benefit o" ths few who prefer th' peace an quite o th home t' th' screen I wish t make a suggcHtion or two. In th' ole times folks jest, had t find amusement in th home or on some frozen pond or river, an' they seem f have been very successful as is proven by th examples o' th' ole time handiwork which we run Inf occasionally. Fer example ther's th' pine cone picturo frame, th' artistic corner bracket, th' fancy peachseed box that adorned th marble top center table along with th ingenius satin-lined wicker card
receiver, z-ephr lamp mats In bright colors, slipper receivers, lamp lighter holders, wall mottoes, galluses embossed with pink rosea an' monograins, an no end o works o art that not only afforded pleasure an' profit f Milady, but also developed a taste fer th' beautiful an' artistic an whlled away th' long crisp evenin's. I don't believe anybuddy has made a scrap book In th' last twenty five, years. Ther may b some who have, but it's safe f say th' practice is not general. I have hero Gran' maw Pash's ole scrap book which sho made while yet in her teens. Th' character o th' contents indicate clearly how her mind run, what interested an Impressed th average girl o' her day. Th scraps are artistically arranged on each page. Th book wuz originally an atlas o' th world an sho carefully cut out ver other page so that when th
book wuz pasted full it would not be fat an' bulky. Doubtless she thought that out herself as th girls o" that age thought many things out fer themselves. Here on tho first page I a picturo of a bunch o' blue hyoynths that have been neatly cut from a floral guide, while around It are pictures of fine ripe f maters an' large, luscious peaches in colors cut from can lables. On ever' page is poems an' prose an' pictures. Here's a picture of a gentleman with side whiskers an plug hat cut out from th' ole New York Saturday Night, an' under It It says, 'Kalph Morland wuz a man who would brook no rival." Here's the story o' th' assassination, o' Jim Fisk. an' here's a picture o' th' Siamese twins an' r. story o' how one woke up an" found th' other ono dead in North Caro linv.

The Seven Deadly Virtues of Man Through a Widow's Lorgnette By Helen Rowland
"I don't le'ieve you'd marry a man." remarked the iiachelor reflectively, as he lit his after-luncheon cigaret. "if he possessed all the hundred-and-seventy-nine virtues!" The Widow glanced up from under her Mower-toque, and extravagantly dropped two lumps of sugar in her demi-tasse. "I certainly shouldn't!" she announced emphatically, "If there were any such man, he'd have to paste court-plaster patches all over his soul. Just to pretend to a few little vices, in order to interest any woman! The seven deadly masculine virtues are trying enough!" "Tho seven deadly what?" breathed tho Bachelor, completely mystified. The Widow opened her violet eyes
in feigned astonishment. "Didn't you know," she queried sweetly, "that every normal man possesses seven deadly virtues?" "No!" returned the Bachelor, "I thought his sins took up all the available space in his cosmos? What are they?" he asked, with rising in t ere st. "Well." and the Widow began counting on her tinger-tlps, "Firstly, there Is hin discretion." "I knew It was something hateful!" sighed the Bachelor. "The Indefatigable care." explained the Widow, "with which he guards his freedom, his secrets, and very other man's secrets from a woman. You might Just as well try to get chatty and confidential with a brass Bhudda, as attempt to lure one man to tell you anything about another man!" "You bet!" exclaimed the Bachelor, thankfully, "He Is not a human colander like a woman! The weaker vessel filled with gossip!" "Yes," agreed the Widow, reluctantly. "I'd always rather confide my secrets to a man-friend but it's awfully hard, to be chummy with anon-reflllable. sealed bottle! And secondly," she proceeded, "there's his constantcy! ' "His con ! Would you mind saying that again?" asked the Bachelor, leaning forward, "I don't think I heard you." "Ills constancy," repeated the Widow, "to his habits! And to his daily routine, and to his prejudices, and his favorite newspaper, and his pet pipe. You can always tell precisely what he will do tomorrow or next day. by what he did yesterday. He never changes his mind nor his ways, nor anything but his heart. Even hi affections don't
changes only the object of them changes. He is constantly in love with somebody! And thirdly," she hurried on, before the Bachelor could retort, "there Is his beautiful devotionl" "To himself. I suppose or to one woman after another?" suggested the Bachelor, not to be caught napping by her deceptive flattery again. "No," corrected the Widow with
I deprecating sweetness, "his beautiful
devotion to his own s x! Women may he always quarreling, like the factions In a South American republic. But men t-tand together In a solid phalanx. You know my old theory the be: man on earth will deceive the noble.it woman on earth. In order to protect the guiltiest man on earth from her anger! And it is beautiful!" "G on!" said the Bachelor leaning tack with resignation. "It may be a virtue; but. the way you put it, it sounds more like a crime!" "And fourthly." continued the Widow, mercilessly. 'there is hi.1 love-of-order!" "Now you'Vf struck i:y declared the B.iehoU-r. "There Is no woman, on earth who worhips order as a man dots:" "And uho has so little of it!" ap-

My Daughter, how long wilt thou sigh for a wreath of laurels when orange blossoms are so much more effective, and widow's weeds more potent? Verily, verily, in order to be adorned and trusted by all men, it Is necessary for a woman to have been married to at least ono of them. For every Bachelor regardeth a spinster as his Natural Enemy and a widow as his Sactuary, and his Hefuge from danger! Behold, unto a widow, he comcth as a petitioner seeking comfort and wisdom and charity. He sitteth at her feet, and beseecheth her advice, pajing, "Thou understandest me!" He yearneth to be "mothered" and she mothereth him! he sigheth to be comforted and sho comfortcth him. lie revealcth his weaknesses; he reheareth his troubles; he consulteth her concerning his latest "affair." All her ways are right in his eyes, and all her words are wonderful. He oreneth the door of his heart, and permltteth her to view the secrets of his soul. Ho discardeth all his pet poses. He taketh off his armour and layeth down his shield and buckler. He is at her mercy! And, if she doth not wed him. it Is for one reason only because she hath mercy upon him! But, unto a maid, he cometh with the sounding of brass an the tinkling of cymbals.
He is more gracious und more condescending than a "captive princess" in a fashionable millinery shop, or a show-girl to a reporter. lie approacheth her as one who saith: "Oh. thou lucky little thing! IjOoK who's here! Even I, the breaker-of-hearts ant drawer-of-glances am about to bestow my smiles and attentions upon thee!"
