IRELAND is rapidly getting back to normalcy.
THAT burglar who took the garden tools surely is a home-loving man.
SENATOR NEW seems to be unqualifiedly for the bonus, but abso
lutely against a method of raising the necessary money.
IT MUST be a deep regret to Bryan that Darwin is not here to defend
his theories, thus obliging the commoner to conduct his debate with mere
college professors.
WITH the Y. M. C. A. admitting women to classes and the Indiana
Federation of Farmers’ Association allowing women to become members
the Marion Club cannot hold out much longer.
NOW that the State board of charities has disclosed that jail com
mitments were more numerous In 1921 than for four years previous, what
becomes of the argument that because there were fewer prisoners in
penal institutions there has been less crime?
This Makes It Unanimous
Public Confidence.
From the Indianapolis Star. . t
In the recent primary contest for mayor of Indianapolis, it was gen
erally concec'ed that opposition' of the Indianapolis News was one of
Mayor Shank’s greatest sources of strength. Then came the election,
more vicious, unreasonable assaults by the News, the creation of the com
mittee of 100, the adoption of the slogan "Save Indianapolis,” a silly thing,
and the avalanche —the election of Mayor Shank by an unprecedented
majority.
Previously, within the memory of all, the News waged a trenzted cam
paign for General Wood. With his defeat It turned to Cox; went down with
him. The governorship was an Issue. It supported Fesler. He was slaugh
tered. Prof. Thomas Howe met even a worse fate. All these events very
properly give ris3 to the query. Are the people losing confidence in the
News?
If the News alone were concerned it would not be a serious matter.
The press of the country in a measure Is affected. Public confidence cannot
be shaken time and time again without evil resulting. For example, the
News wasn't injured in a material way by Its bogus ownership statement,
but respect for the law was lessened by the example It set. In other words,
if the big fellow cared not a whit for law, why should the man of less
prominence be greatly concerned whether he regards it seriously?
Come3 now the Hartman case, which was bound up In the Indianapolis
mayoralty election. Hartman has been acquitted, and his trial Is not an
issue in this discussion. It was to destroy Shank that the Hartman expose,
fiasco or whatever it may be termed, was brought about. It was ii evi
dence that a representative of the News was active. Undoubtedly the
jury gave this suspicion serious consideration; declined to be a party in
any measure to what might be considered by tlie public a frame up.
All these incidents may be trivial, of no importance in the eyes of the
News, providing it makes its point, at cost of a man's reputation or what
not Sooner or later, however, the people w ill corner to realize that the
reiteration of a falsehood does pot make a truth. Apparently, political
Indiana has already made its mind up. Eventually business Indiana and
the reading public will follow 6ult. The sooner the day the sooner public
confidence in the press of this city will be strengthened.
Athletic Stars and Salaries
Public adoration of popular baseball idols 13 rapidly bringing the
stars of the national pastime into the capitalistic class, according to the
figures being written into the spring contracts.
A few years ago people looked with amazement on a business man
.ho received a salary of $50,000 or $75.00f> a year, yet here comes "Babe”
Ruth, the far famed “king of swat,” with a three-year contract calling for
$75,000 annually as a star performer for the New York Yankees.
Ruth undoubtedly is tfte greatest drawing card in the game today and
he probably justifies his demands on the basis that the gate receipts would
not "be swelled if he was not on the team and that he, therefore, is entitled
to a fair share of the profits he makes possible.
Although Ruth is the highest salaried clouter in the game, John Mc
•,raw, Heinie Groh and others are receiving fabulous sums.
Baseball has assumed the proportions of a gigantic business enter
prise and the men who figure in it are being recompensed accordingly.
Former Judge Landis as the supreme arbiter is getting p. salary of 150,000
•> year to make the game run smoothly and the heads of the various leagues
ire far up on the salary scale.
High prices are not confined alone to baseball, however, but have ex
ended to other fields of athletics. In fact the prize ring, even before
salaries were sent skyward in baseball, was attracting huge figures which
reached the seeming, limit when Carpentier and Dempsey appeared before
a million dollar house last July-
Many Interested in perpetuating sports on a clean and high standard
..re wondering where the limit is and whether the constant demands of the
stars for more money and the constant accession of the managers are not
building up a system that ultimately will crash with a blighting effect.
Senator Lodge's Confession
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is now warning the United States Senate
that if it rejects the four-power treaty which resulted from the Washington
conference it will "beckon to the grim possibility of war” and leave a
‘shocked and startled world.”
The warning recalls the days when the League of Nations pact was
before the Senate and that august body was advised that Its rejection
won; ’. “break the heart of the world." Coming from the Senator who led
the forces that slaughtered the league pact, It Is a salient admission that
Lodge was wrong then, for the Versailles pact and the four-power treaty
are founded on the same principles and have the same objects. If Lodge
now believes that refusal to ratify the four-power treaty is a bid for war,
he must have come to a realization that failure to ratify the League of
Nations covenant was Just such a bid.
Conditions have not changed materially since the World War. The
first movement the world ever had seen toward the abolishment of war
was embodied in the league which was opposed by Mr. Lodge and failed
of ratification. The second movement is the four-power treaty and it is
not strange that the same arguments that were used in favor of the league
should be used in favor of this compact.
There is room for difference of opinion as to the relative merits of
the two treaties. But there is no room for differences as to the purposes
of either. Mr. Lodge and a lot of other Republicans are now hurrying to
set themselves right on the matter of principle and for the reason that
those who fought for the league were moved by principle there will be no
opposition from them to the tour-power treaty.
Cold-Blooded Doctors
Those members of the medical profession and laymen who have been
argning for a long time that the laboratory and experimental work done
In medical colleges was more designed to brutalize the medical student
than to educate him will take some satisfaction in the statements of Dean
C. P. Emerson In an address at Chicago recently. The dean is quoted as
saying that the medical graduate of today is generally a “cold-blooded
proposition” and “he has been so filled with scientific facts that he has for
gotten, In large measure, that the purpose of his calling is self-sacrificing
and service to the community.
"If the physician had the welfare of his patient at heart, he would
depend on the laboratory less and on his own examinations more."
This is exactly the thought of those who have opposed the animal ex
perimentation and other laboratory procedures that continue in the medical
colleges.
It won .he dean, having arrived at the same place as the
critics of the mouical schools would now be enlisted in the efforts tc reform
the curriculum, at least as it exists in the Indiana School of Medicine of
which he is the head.
Highways and By-Ways
of LiF OF New York
(Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company.)
By RAYMOND CARROLL,
NEW YORK, March 0.—"I hare been
over and had a look at 'Faith,’ the great
hole in the ground at Nassau street, be-
I tween Liberty street and Malden Lane,”
| said BUI, the oracle of New street. -
“Then I came out to the stone terrace
jln frotit of J. P. Morgan & Cos.
and put a crick in my neck gazing up
1 at the white scared face of 'Hope' across
j Broad street. Next I went around Into
Bearer street, and walked In the shadow
|of ‘Charity.’ I call that the end of a
! perfect day.”
Sllrer-crested Bill talks In parables.
■ and Is never stupid. He was telling In
his way of the Important new construc
j tion that Is going on In the world's
greatest gold center. By “Faith,” he
meant the new Federal Reserve Bank,
1 which has Just broken Its ground; by
I “Hope,” he was referring to the nearly
completed annex of the New York Stoc
i Exchange, and by "Charity,” he was
spoofing at the annex of tho Standard
I OU Company.
: And Bill had an extra thought for
j the clerka in the tall buildings upon the
. south side of Liberty street and the
! north side of Malden Lane, workers in
; otoher people's money, who for years
| hare been shut away from the sun by
| the buildings now removed to make room
for the gigantic Federal Reserve Bank
building that will fill an entire block
He said:
"They remind me of owls, blinking
In the daylight, and all out of gear In
their temporary life with an Open space
to look down into a park without trees
! or grass soda to be blotted out with
brick, mertar and Iron girders.”

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1922.
| now. For a number of years what the
' Tammany people called derisively “the
conservative or Wall street bunch,” have
been flirting with their old antagonists
|of the Fourteenth street wigwam, and
' at a luncheon at the Downtown Club
! some months ago they fraternized over
the coffee and the cigars.
At the head of what is called the con
i sorvative outfit Is William Church Os
born, who has been “fighting Tammany”
for as many years as anyone can remem
-1 ber. He married Alice H. Dodge, daugh
ter of Cleveland H. Dodge, one of the
financial mainstays of the first Wilson
, oaiupaign„-aiid a conspicuous and repre
smtatlve New Yorker. Now the plan is
for the two wings to coalesce, the Tam
many selection for Governor. Alfred E.
| Smith, being Indorsed by the “Hlgh-
I brows” and William Church Osborn to
| have the support of the Tammany
< “roughnecks” for United States Senator.
1 Unfortunately for the success of this
i arrangement, Smith says he Is not a
I candidate.
Right now “Welcome’ Is written al,
over the tattle scarred front of the un
! galnly red brick structure called Tam
many Hall In Fourteenth street. Charles
F. Murphy, grand sachem, alms to get
all the braves with grouches back upon
the reservation. Ho began with the dis
■■ gruntled Jimmy Hines of the eleventh as
sembly district, the district leader who
made a one man fight against the Ually
won in his district and nearly scored &
victory all over Manhattan in the pri
mary. Jimmy has been promised some
thing, what It lk ho will not disclose.
He may be the next sheriff. Chief
Murphy next went after Tom Rush, tho
former local leader of . the “Diamond
back” fifteenth assembly district, who,
after he became surveyor of the port,
failed to capture Tammany Hall for the
Wilson Democrats. Tom has succumbed.
Ha nay fill one of the next vacancies on
the Supreme Court bench. With Major
Ross Williams, formerly leader of the
Ninth District. Murphy Is having diffi
culty, for Williams, leadership was stolen
away from him while he was a soldier
in France, and he still nourishes the
grievance. One man, however, whom
Murphy despairs of ever winning qver
Is Maurice Featlierson, of the Fourteenth
District, who left the wigwam when
Mayor McClellan split with Murphy. Ho
Is the one "old boy” who has withstood
all blandishments to return to the “old
swimming hole.”
Tha secret of Murphy's long leader
ship—twenty years of saehemship—lies In
his willingness to placate the “outs” and
heal old sores. Ilia purpose is to have
Tammany fight an unbroken front In the
coming gubernatorial and senatorial
fight, and regain lost prestige for the
Hall both at Albany and Washington.
"Barney, what are yon going to do
with that piece of property over there?”
said Charles Thorley, the florist, to his
friend Bernard Nolan many years ago
as they rode on the end of a Broadway
street oar past Forty-Second street.
“Do you want It?" answered Nolan.
“Sure, I'd like to have It," said
Thorley.
‘For how long?" asked Nolnn.
“Ohl” said Thorley, thinking Nolan
was joshing him, “1 might take It for
130 years.”
"It's j'O.drs," said Nolan, and, to the
surprise of Thorley, he obtained the lease
for that period at a price of $7,500 a
year
The little triangle at the lower end of
Longaere Square (now called Times
Square) today is probably the most val
liable in New York City. When Thorley
took It over there were several ram
shack'e buildings on It, tbe Income from
which was barely sufficient to meet the
tax* *. Shortly afterward tbk theater dis
trict took a spurt to Forty-Second street,
and the l’abst Brewing Company came
along, leased the pint from Thorley sot
$12,500 a year and erected n hotel on the
site. That venture, however, was not a
success, and the astute Thorley stepp'd
in and bought back the lease for $15,000.
Thorley did not have to wait for a
new fi-sseq. The New York Times offered
Thorley SIOO,OOO a year for his lease, and
the bargain was closed. The Times peo
ple tore down the Pabst Hotel and
erected the present office building. A
portion of the first floor ana basement j
was rented to a drug concern fur $35,-
000 a year and the subway paid the
Times $20,000 a pear for tlie privilege of
Installing the Times Squure station
under the building.
Since then (he Times moved to Its
new building ami transferred the upper
floors of its old building Into offices, ;
which are among the most desirable now ,
in the Broadway district. Thorley sits
tight and gathers In his profits, some
thing like $75,000 a year net. On the
Forty-Seccnd street side, In the stone
of an upper floor, one can read of this
realty romance In the carved name
“Charles Thorley,” the florist, Insisting
that It be placed there.
WELL GUARDED
AGAINST DISEASE
i..
Nation-Wide Epidemics Re
garded Thing of I'ast.
CHICAGO, March 9.—America stands
' well guarded against the ravages of na
tion-wide epidemics, Dr. Victor C.
Vaughan, chairman of the council of
health and pnblie Instruction of the
American Medical Association, declared
j today.
j "Physicians and scientists, throtign
i (die development of new preventives, bate
made sweeping epidemics of disease vir
tually a thing of the past," he said.
Dr. Vaughan, attending the National
Congress on Medical Education here, as
serted the greatest development In med
ical science during the last year has
been In the field of preventives,
i A general breaking down of prejudices
and supervisions was said by Dr.
Vaughan to have opened the way to
achievement for the modern scientist.
"The public Is no longer suspicious
of the ‘medicine man,’" he said. "The
public has learned to trust him and as
a consequence It Is much safer from dls
j ease.”
JAPANESE TO
TURN SHANTUNG
BACK TO CHINA
Two Delegations Will Leave
Tokio to Conduct Negotia
tions.
TOKIO, March o.—Two delegations
from the Japanese foreign efflce —one
made up of experts on railroad matters
and the other on Shantung negotiations,
headed by M. Hanibara, vice foreign min
ister, will depart, within a week for
China to negotiate the details of the
return of Shantung to China.
Simultaneously with this development
it was learned authoritatively that com
plete withdrawal of Japanese troops
from Shantung is planned to take place
not later than May 10
It has not been definitely arranged
where the negotiations will take place,
although they probably wiil be held in
Pekin. There is a possibility that the
two commissions will proceed to Tsing
Tau and there meet the representatives
of the Chinese government.
It Is believed here that the unexpected
starting of the negotiations for the re
turn of the Japan holdings in Shantung
prior to the treaty ratifications by the
several signatory nations is inspired in
the hope that It will In a measure re
move the impression created in China
that Japan's conference concessions were
due to pressure of foreign powers.
The foreign office insists that it Is
basing the early negotiations on the re
turn of the Japanese holdings on the
facta that the duty became binding with
the signature of the treaty in Washing
ton.
Washington Briefs
Special to Indiana Dally Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Washington, March u.—it is the
role of tbe oracle that President Harding
Is called upon to fill twice a week after
Cabinet meeting's, when the Washington
correspondents ussull him for news.
Contemplate the pot pourrle of subjects
on which be was cross examined recently
without notice except for the written In
structions banded in a moment before:
The Fall-Wallace controversy about
forestry control in Alaska.
The Mexican situation.
The Genoa conference.
The ScH iuei Centennial Exposition at
P htladelpiiia,
Tho Lanslne-Ishll agreement.
The treaty tight In the Senate.
The soldier “bonus."
The merchant marine subsidy.
The threatened coal strike.
The allied debt funding commission.
Never forgetting the days when he'fiim
eelf hustled for “copy,” Mr. Harding is
a generous provider of news. After he
disposes of Instructions tho President
usually volunteer* tire “lilgli ''puts" of
Cabinet proceedings.
Looking find feeling like a giant re
fresh *d. Secretary Hughes returned to
the State Department after his fortnight
in Bermuda, and plunged Into a moun
tain of accumulated business with typi
cal vigor. After an hour at his desk,
he went to the White House for a brief
audience with President Harding. If
the Secretary of State came home wor
ried over the prospects of the conference
treaties In the Senate, he Is a master
dissembler of his emotions, for the cele
brated Hughes stnlle was In full evi
dence and working order He has not
heard of any scheme to hale him before
the bar of the Senate or Foreign Rela
tions Copnnlttce to furnish conference
information not already supplied. If
there is any material of that kind. It was
Indicated at the state Department the
Secretary is ready to supply it on de
mand.
One of the first preoccupations of Mr.
Hughes will be to fill up the State De
partment official ranks depleted by the
assignment of Under-Secretary Fletcher
and Assistant Seer*ry Dearlng to dlpio
mntlc posts abroad, and the resignation
of Solicitor Nielsen. Apparently the
selection of tholr successors have not yet
boon made. There Is no dearth of candi
dates.
Mr. Fletcher says his Brussels ad

years by Brand Whitlock was recently

pressman Porter of Pennsylvania. Is
crcditeil with a plan to Induce Congress
to take tardy and commensurate action
In the direction of building Cnit-d

Mr. Porter Intended to tiring up tin
project last year, but decided to with
hold It until after the Washington con
ference.
‘U. S. 8. Typewriter,” otherwise the
late flagship Columbia of Rear Admiral
Hilary P. Jones of tho Atlantic fleet has
arrived at Chester, I’a., to be refitted for
her former role ns a merchantman anil
sold lo private owners. The Navy is orc
at heart over the loss of the Columbia
(formerly tho liner Great Northern). Her
Installation as n flagship carried out a
long-advocated policy of the Navy gen
eral board. The board decided that in
tlie Interest of both sirategy and tactics
the place of the commander-in-chief of :i
battle fleet was not. as of yore, in a ship
of the line, but. like that of an army
generalissimo, far back of the lino. But
that dough!y Washington warrior, "Gen
eral Economy” has decreed otherwise and
onr adiulrnltlsslmos now must return to
their old places In battleships. When the
Columbia became the "O. 11. Q.” of the
fleet, It received the nickname of “U. S.
S. Typewriter,” because of Its essentially
business aspect.
It is announced nt the White House In
categorical fashion that the policy of the
United States toward Mexico remains un
changed. Os In days of old we ace wait
Ing watchfully for things to turn up
south >f tho Rio Grande. The Mexicans
are the moldcrs of their own destinies

concerned. Practical moves in the di
reetlon of recognition evidently are up
to them. Meantime President Obregon's
diplomatic representatives In Washing
ton pursue the even tenor of their way.
BIG JOB OF A COMEDIAN ON STAGE
Is to Make His Audience Laugh Loudly
j John Park, the comedian In Zimbal
! list’s musical comedy “Honeydrew,”
! coming to the Murat Theater next week,
during his stage life has played many
and varied comedy roles. He is firm in
the opinion that a responsive audience is
necessary for the success of the come
dian.
j “The comedian," says Mr. Tark, “must
I instinctively feel the proper teinpq, and
i the pulse of the audience must be in his
] hands. Different audiences compel me to
j work in various ways. The experienced
comedian should bo able to qualify the
status of his audience —to recognize Its
wants. There is a particular public,
which craves for farce, while there is an
other which will ony respond to a more i
refined method.
“There is no question about the fact
that the audience not only helps to make
the comedian, but It also makes the suc
cess of the show. Playing to a dull audi
ence Is like riding a sleepy horse. The
comedian, after all, is only the Jockey.
“The best Jockey in the world cannot
make a winner out of a Second-rater and
more particularly so when they rate him
against stake horses. So the audience
must have ‘pep’ as well as tha actor. If
it hasn’t, a comedian is lost. He must
have immediate response because he
i offers nothing that the people can go
away and think about.
“It Is the hardest thing in the world to
trv to persuade anybody into thinking
that a man Is funny If the people who
have been listening to him haven’t
laughed," he contends.
