Garvin, defeated Democratic candidate for city judge, announced today that he will not contest the election of Delbert O.

Mr. Garvin said he feels that such a contest would do neither himself nor the Democratic party any good. “I made a clean campaign,’' he said. “I made some friends and I don’t believe I lost any.

HARDING’S TRIBUTE TO DEAD (Continued From Page One.) and death he fired hla shot for liberation of the captive conscience of the world. In advancing toward his objective was. somewhere a thought of a world awakened; and we are here to testify undying gratitude and reverence for that thought of a wider freedom. On such an occasion as this, amid such a scene, our thoughts alternate between defenders living and defenders dead. A grateful Republic will be worthy of them both. Our part„is to atone for the loses of heroic dead by making a better Republic for the living. Sleeping in these hallowed grounds are thousands of Americans who have given their blood for the baptism of freedom and its maintenance, armed exponents of the Nation’s conscience. It is better and nobler for their deeds. Burial here is rather more than a sign of the Government's favor, it is a suggestion of a tomb in the heart of the Nation, sorrowing for its noble dead. Today's ceremonies proclaim that the hero unknown is not unhonored. We gather him to the Nation's breast, within the shadow of the Capitol, of the towering shaft that honors Washington, the great father, and of the exquisite monument to Lincoln, the martyred savior. Here the inspirations of yesterday and the conscience of today forever unite to make the Republic worthy of his death for flag and country. Ours are lofty resolutions today, as with tribute to the dead we consecrate ourselves to a better order for the living. With all my heart, I wish we might say to the defenders who survive, to mothers who sorrow, to widows aad children who mourn, that no such sacrifice shall be asked again. \ Modern Warfare Cruel, Deliberate and Destructive It was my fortune recently to see a demonstration of modern warfare. It Is no longer a conflict in chivalry, no more a test of militant manhood. It Is only cruel, deliberate, scientific destruction. There was no contending enemy, only the theoretical defense of a hypothetic objective. But the attack was made with all the relentless methods of modern destruction. There Was the rain of rain from the aircraft, the thunder of artillery, followed by the unspeakable devastation wrought by bursting shells; there were mortars belching their bombs of desolation; machine guns concentrating their leaden storms; there was the Infantry, advancing, firing, and falling—like men with souls sacrificing for the decision. The flying missiles were revealed by illuminating tracers, so that we could note their flight and appraise their deadliness. The air was streaked with tiny flamgp marking the flight of massed destruction; while the effectiveness of the theoretical defense was impressed by the simulation of dead and wounded among those going forward, undauntpyl and unheeding. As this panorama of unutterable destruction visualized the horrors of modern conflict, there grew on me the sense of the failure of a civilization which can leave its problems to such cruel arbitrament. Surely no one in authority, with human attributes and a full appraisal of the patriotic loyalty of his countrymen, could ask the manhood of kingdom, empire, or republic to make such sacrifice until all reason had failed, until appeal to Justice through understanding had been denied, until every effort of love and consideration for fellow men had been exhausted, until freedom ttself and inviolate honor had been brutally threatened. I speak not as a pacifist fearing war. but as one who loves justice and hates war. I speak as one who believes the highest function of government is to give its citizens the security of peace, the opportunity to achieve, and the pursuit of happiness. The loftiest tribute we can bestow today—the heroically earned tribute —fashioned in deliberate conviction, out of unclouded thought, neither shadowed by remorse nor made vain by fancies, Is the commitment of this Republic to an advancement never made before. If American achievement is a cherished pride at home, if our unselfishness among nations Is all we wish it to be, and ours is a helpful example in the world, then let us give of our influence and strength, yea, of our aspirations and convictions, to put mankind on a little higher plane, exulting and exalting, with war’s distressing and depressing tragedies barred from the stage of righteous civilization. Urges All to Join in Seeking Rule of Right and Reason There have been a thousand defenses justly and patriotically made; a thousand ofTenses which reason and righteousness ought to have stayed. Let us beseech all men to join us in seeking the rule under which reason and righteousness shall prevail. Standing today on hallowed ground, conscious that all America has halted to share in the tribute of heart and mind and soul to this fellow American, and knowing that the world is noting this expression of the Republic's mindfulness, it is fitting to say that his sacrifice, and that of the millions dead, shall not be in vain. There must be, there shall bo, the commanding voice of a conscious civilization against armed warfare. As we return this poor clay to its mother soil, garlanded by love and covered with the decorations that only nations can bestow, I can sense the prayers of our people, of all peoples, that this Armistice da> shall mark the beginning of anew and lasting era of peace on earth, good will among men. Let me join In that prayer. Our Father who art In heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will her done on earth, as it Is In heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11,1921.
WARTIME WAGES STILL ASKED BY LABORING MEN Employment Bureau Says Some Refuse to Work When Given Jobs. A large number of men in Indianapolis are still holding out for wartime wages and others refuse to work after they hare received Jobs, according to a statement made by the Indiana free employment service, today. The statement declares that only men who are willing to make the best of the present situation should apply for work at the bureau. It is noted, also, conditions are slowly improving. The Statement follows: "In placing the men, who apply to the Indiana Free Employment Service, 33-37 South Capitol avenue, it i the desire of the members of the service to have the earnest cooperation of the individuals as well as the manufacturers. “Daily the service refers men to opportunities who are not looking for work, but are merely ‘boomers.’ This kind of man disrupts any kind of an organization, and it is the desire of the service to weed out these men if possible and see that they do not receive the benefits of opportunities offered. DON'T KNOW WAR IS OVER. "For instance, a man applied for a position a few days ago and gave us a hard-luck story. He had four children and a wife to take care of, the rent was past due two months and he was financially 'broke.’ The service secured a position for this man immediately in a manufacturing concern. Upon calling on the employer at the institution he' said he could not go to work until two days later. (Incidentally the men had been out of employment for five months.) The manufacturer wanted the man Immediately and the applicant could give no reason for not wanting to go to work for two days. It was finally agreed that the man should start to work the following morning. The work was done well and the employer was pleased the remaining two days of the week. Saturday found the employer load* dwlth orders and he asked the new employe if he would work Saturday afternoon at a time and one-half rate. The new employe told the manufacturer it was impossible for him to work Saturday afternoon, as he had never done so before, and that also he had some business affairs to be attended to in town. “This incident is merely cited to show the appreciation of some men for favors done In their behalf nnd also that at the present time are many men who do not realize that the war is over and that the wage scale has dropped. MUST ADJUST TO KXISTINQ CONDITIONS. "The thing that every unemployed man must do at the present time is to adapt himself to conditions as they exist and make the best of the situation until conditions Improve. We have mechanles listed for positions who drew big money during the war and who have been out of work for over a year, merely because they believe there is still big money in that occupation and they will not be satisfied with any other kind of work. “The manner In which soma of the men term the present situation is that they still lave a little of the money they saved up during the war period and that they will trust to “luck” that they receive a similar war-time Job before their money gives out. “Luck,” that psychological element .which supposedly brings Jobs to a select few, will never gain a man any position of merit in the industrial and commercial world. But the great majority of the working men and the unemployed men at the present time have the spirit of work, they are not asking for charity, but have that stlck-to-lt-lve-ness instilled into their minds which is bound to better their conditions. MUCH IMPROVEMENT SHOWN. “Conditions, commercially and Industrially in Indianapolis, continue to improve end it is mainly due to the fact business men and manufacturers are forgetting the pessimistic view they had taken upon conditions as they existed during the past year and are now taking arnore optimistic view and are settling down to "going after buainess.' which means a greater production and an increasing demand. "It is to be'noted that the service bod 925 male applicants for Jobs during the past week and that 144 were registered nnd 359 were placed In positions, in the week prior to the above mentioned there were 305 men placed. This report shows a net Increase in placements alone of 17 per cent.” Kentuckian Killed; Feud Revival Pends MIDDLESBORO, Ify., Nov. 11—Revival of the famous Bell-Turner feud was feared here following a gun battle resulting in the death of one man and wounding of two others. Doyle Colson, 28, deputy fire marshal for eastern Kentucky, was killed, it was said, when he interfered in a quarrel bepvtSen his brother Clay Colson, and Ha Ball.
