AN INJUNCTION: Concerning the injunction issued upon petition of Dr. W. F. King, secretary of the state board of health, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette makes this editorial comment: "From the bench of the superior court in Marion county comes an injunction which may be regarded in some respects as unique. It is an order restraining the Indiana hoard of health from proceeding in its purpose to invest!-

v. t • •• * ■ ■ gale the affairs of its secretary. Dr. William F. King, who has been cited for his appearance to answer questions. The order enjoins upon the board of health that it shall not hear or determine the charges against Dr. King until 1 permission of the court be forthcoming. •’This writ of injunction was obtained by Dr. King. The effect of it will be to tie the hands of the board of health at the co iri s pleasure —save of course that the > board may take an appeal for the integrity of such independent authority as it may be conceived to have. We do not know wheth- ( er or not tin state hoard of health ha and authority to bring charges if malfeasance and to invesMgaf* them. It has authority to appoint its executive official, of which Dr. King, as secretary, is i chief Doubtless the hoard may be held responsible for its own conduct and for the conduct of the subordinates it may place in office, but may not have any power to enforce authority. The purpose of the board is suspected to be that Dr. King shall be shorn of hi office. If that be it. 1 the injunction will serve nicely. “But if the state board of health has no authority to investigate the official conduct of its-sub- , ordinates, its own creatures, who hue the authority? There are ceriou charges against Dr. King a;; the state board's secretary. Those charges ought to be given a hearing, no less in the interest of Dr. King, if he be innocent, than in the interest of the public, if he be guilty. Who is to initiate charges if not the state board? Who is to hear and determine charges if not the state board? And where are charges to be in- I itiated. heard and determined if the state board may not fixe a , time and the court should not be in any haste to direct the beginning of procedures? “It looks like a queer procedure in which the public may be en- i tirely helpless to learn whether its chief medical executive officer has been wrongfully accused or has been abusing his position as a public official. Attorney General Gilliom had the : nerve and audacity the other day at a meeting of republican editors to ' say that the state was having the , greatest difficulty in enforcing the prohibition laws in those cities in whch the democratic party is in power, overlooking the tact that In

dianapolis, Evansville, Gary, Muncie and the other center., of bootleggers are and have been tor a long time j under republican administration. The , position of the attorney general fails also to coincide with that now being taken by the Fort Wayne News and | other ultra republican newspapers I over the state as to just how tar officials should go in enforcing the Volstead act. A' bandit with a big fierce looking gun hopped into the office of the State and Lake theater at Chicago last night and hopped out with $12,000 in cash. Suppose if he's caught he will plead insanity or youth or some other excuse which will start petitions to save him from punishment and the ci inie wave goes inarching on. Only severe punishment speedily administered will stop those hold-ups and they must be stopped for the preservation of peace and happiness in this country. We have made it too easy for

A car headed north side-swiped a car going south on Mercer avenue late Saturday night and damaged the car to a considerable extent. Then instead of stopping to see if he had caused any damage, the driver of the ear headed north, stepped on the gas. and without even stopping at the Adams street crossing, sped on out of sight. This is a serious law violation and is most unfair. The "hit and run" problem is one of the most difficult to handle for unless the license number is secured or the parties known the police are helpless. “ "5 The anthracite coal strike looks somewhat nearer today because John

L. Mitchell, president of ,the United Mine Workers has refused to negotiate until the operators have with drawn their objections to an increased wage. It may be right or wrong but the fact icmains that a strike is a very serious probability and within sixty days the fuel question will be botherng us some. You can still buy coal at a reasonable price and if you are wise you will take advantage of the opportunities. Get ready for a cold winter. Turning your car at a corner with out looking in every direction is a dangerous practise and several slight [accidents Saturday night should serve as a warning Io drivers. It is so easy to have a wreck that evey care should be exercised to avoid them and one rule that should be followed »: to hold out your hand as a signal when you are going to turn or slow up. so that the man behind you has some idea of what you propose to do. o ■ ♦ ♦ • TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ » • • From the Daily Democrat file • • Twenty years ago this day 4 > 4 F 444444 + ******* Willard Steele is having the fair grounds wired for electricity.

REPPERT AUCTION SCHOOL NOTES By R. E. Fortna Student Correspondent. It was especially pleasing-to the in- i structors and students of the Reppert 1 Auction School to be greeted by a large crowd at the initial public auction which was conducted by the students Saturday afternon. Col. Guy L Pettit. Bloomfield, la., greeted the audience in a few well chosen words and then introduced the officers of the class. R. E. Fortna, secretary, of Lincoln.. Fred Watson vice-president, of Missoula, Mont., and Thos. Marker.

rpresident Windfall, Ind Each gave a little talk about himself and his home ■ town and expressed his appreciation of the reception with which the Decatur folks welcomed the students The president sang two songs and gave a few monologues, and led the class in singing. Members of the class were then called to the platform to sell an article of merchandise, after giving their name and address and a sho/t tglk. Col. Earl Gartin. Greens burg Ind., directed the sale from the platform, and Col. Pettit miijgled with the audience to watch the student’s metivud of .selling and to grade them ion tMir jwbrk. Another auction was heldßw the .evening and a larger icrow|'3atpnd«d. It is estimated that neatty-500 were in atendance at the level jVhht. These auctions will be I heh#f;mli evening at 7:30 o’clock during raw remainder of the course which lasts k*F-.

were obtained by the successful bidders and. judging from the app ause at various times, they got their money's worth in entertainment. The entire class of thirty-four students atended the union church services at the First Christian Church Sunday evening and were w-r.ced ix» i section reserved for them. The ( lass sang several songs. Thos. Mauker sang a solo and led the class in two other songs. A large cTpwd enjoyed the sermon by the Rev. Sommervi'le Light, of the Methodist church. Some culver skits and varied forms of entertainment are being prepared to precede the auctions each evening and it is hoped that large crowds will continue to attend these events. It will be equally interesting to note the progress made by the individual students. This is the only

auction school in the country that gives the students so much practice in actual selling in bona tide public auctions and the students aie beginning to appreciate the real worth of them Probably some of the peop'e at these' sales wonder w’hat the students mean by inetnioning “buck" in a loud undertone. It is a slang expression born of the class room and means “buck fever" or stage frigut. We are to.d that this malady has bothered most public speakers, especially in the beginning of their public appearance. Watch us tight and conquer the “disease". Co'. Fred Reppert returned to the class Monday afternoon after a threeday absence. He was warmly received by tho class. *—*—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s f—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s

S. A. CHIEF CALLS “TWICE BORN” MEN MODERN MIRACLES Commissioner William Penrt, commander of the Salvation Army force. In the central states, hue issued the ; following Interesting statement I questionnaire form, concerning th« nature and work of the Salvatl < Army und Its program of Home Service. What is the Salvation Army? Answer. The Salvation Army is « mll1 ’ tant. evangelical organization of Christian workers, adhering to a strictly disciplined program of personal conduct and well defin'd methods of operation, trained in the art of dealing ably with human life, consecrated to the mission of preachIng Jesus Christ and Him crucified to the unchurched masses of earth, ministering to the physical needs of men regardless of their race or creed nnd believing that all religion finds its best expression In charity and that all mon are brothers In their struggle upward to find God. What la the Salvation Army’s theory and practice in its program of Homs Service? Answer. With an eye single to seeking and saving that which was lost In the highways and byways of life, the Salvation Army endeavots first to relieve material human need. This done, and sure that "as a man thinketh Im his heart so is he," It strives to (Toate the desire for better things in the heart of the one helped, to tiring to him the transforming power of the "Bread of Life, new purpose, new hope, new ambition, new Initiative, In short, a new grip on life and a new urge ter the fullfillment of its meaning. This transformation it has seen evidenced in the lives of too many hun-,

V Wc F J- 7 Commissioner William Peart. dreds of thousands of ‘‘twice bom” men and women for the Salvation Army to feel that the age of miracles is past or 4 that the shed blood of Jesus Christ Is any less efficacious today to make the vilest clean, than it was 2.000 years ago when He hung . on Calvary's tree. Along what lines does the Salva tion Army specialize in its program of Home Service? Answer. The Salvation Army conducts 10 major activities among which are the following: evangelistic work, industrial homes, hotels for working men, women's boarding homes, prison visitation and relief, emergency poor and disaster relief, free employment bureaus, rresh air camps, training colleges, day nurseries and clinics, women's homes 1 nnd maternity hospitals, children's ■ homes, missing friends and antl-sui- ■

ride bureaus, and Christmas dinners, I all combined In a program which, last year in the United States, helped to bridge the gap of want in the lives of over one million needy human beings nnd carried an understandable gospel message into the estimated bearing of over 80,000.000 listeners. How is the Home Service program of the Salvation Army financed? An-, swer. By public subscription. How and where is the money contributed In the annual Home Service appeals spent? Answer: With the exception of a small percentage which Is used to support the Salvation Army training school in Chicago and to pension aged and Infirm Salvation Army officers, all of the money so contributed in each division Is spent In the maintenance and extension of the Army's Home Service program In the division where it is subscribed. Why has the Salvation Army discontinued its former methods of tambourine solicitation and put Itself on a budget basis with annual Home Sen vice appeals? Answer. For efficiency', sake. Thus and thus only, can It free the hands of Its ever limited number of workers for the work for which they have been, trained and to which they are consecrated. Under the old method of tambourine solicitation it required almost half the Army's commissioned personnel practically alj their time collecting the funds with which the other half worked. This! meant but fifty per cent efficiency at) best. Now. once each year, the friends oj the Salvation Army conduct, in itsj name, the annual Home Service appeal. Thus do they Mt free the hand, of its great rank and file of workers for their tasks of "meeting the need.'' The Salvation Army Is atlmulated to I greater service tn the back yards of life by the recognition and support If receives from the men and women It life’s front yards, who would helj ’ keep Its hands strong to serve.

A New Type of Service Employes of the Standard - Oil Company (Indiana), who have taken advantage of the Company’s Stock Purchasing Plan in 1925, will get their stock at $62.00 per share, regardless of what the price may be during the remainder of the year. This is the average market price for a six months’ period ending March 31, 1925. In reality, Standard Oil employes get their stock at $41.33 per share, as the Company adds, as a gift. 50c to every dollar invested by the employe. Regarding the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Stock Purchasing Plan. Mr. O. A. Mather, in the Chicago Tribune, says: “Behind this lies a story of relations to employes almost unique in American industry. “Four years ago the Standard Oil directors translated into action their belief that employes would be more efficient and loyal if they were stockholders and also that they should be permitted to share the profits. While this was not a new idea, the plan worked out by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was somewhat of a departure from custom. “The directors announced a five year stock acquisition plan whereby employes might subscribe for stock to the extent of one fifth of their annual salaries. This constituted a partial payment plan. But as an additional incentive and reward the directors stated that for every dollar put in by an employe the company would add 50 cents. As the price of the stock each year is based on the average market price for a preceding period, the company, in effect, is selling stock to its employes „ at two-thirds of its market value.” The result of making the employe ownership of stock attractive has been to promote harmony, encourage industrious efficiency and to harbor contentment among the employes; in short, to instill and nourish the spirit of service, which reacts to the distinct benefit of the patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in the ten Middle Western states where the Company is straining every nerve and fibre to serve thirty million people with petroleum products of high quality, when and where they need them.
