Bet they will want to borrow money from the U. S. ALL, OF them are not dead. An Ohio man bought a load of fine wood and found it was sawdust. "LOOK and Leap” might keep children out of the streets—if the slogan was prominently displayed around the municipal playgrounds. CHIEF Rikhoff's objection to coatless traffic officers is that they would thus become walking arsenals. What's become of those hip pickets the cops used to have? THE PUBLIC, as well as the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs, has wondered what has become of that market remodeling plan we have heard so much about. THE AMERICAN Federation of Labor meeting in Cincinnati was thrown into a row over Alex Howat, the Kansas mine leader. No labor session seems to be complete without a fight o\er him. Japan and Siberia Os course, the new government in Japan sends out the statement that it intends to get out cf Siberia. Os course! That has become the regular thing with Japanese governments. But not now. No, not quite yet. It will get out "when order is restored," “when protection of Japanese interests is guaranteed.” Japan may tell it to the Marines. She doesn’t intend to get out. Not now. Not ever. She never expects to allow the time to come when “order will be restored.” She never expects to let any one get strong enough to "guarantee Japanese interests.” She expects not to colonize Siberia, for her people would find it a hell upon earth, but she does expect to control its mines, its forests, its commerce, its fur trade, its oil and geld and timber and coal. Some time she may get out, but it will be after her fairy tale about getting is recognized the world over as a fable meant to cajole the world. It will be after the rest of the world has brought pressure to bear. Or It will be after Russia has once more got upon her feet and comes down with the north wind at her back to make the ways to the Pacific once more free. Who’s Holding Back? The total Incomes of all the 7,259,444 individuals of this country, who confessed to more than SI,OOO income if single or $2,000 if married, in 1920, was nearly $24,000,000,000. That sounds like a lot of money, and so it is, but when you cjme to analyze the official report you find a lot of funny things. For example, you discover that there were only thirty-three persons in the entire country who admittea incomes of more than $1,000,000 a year. Yet in any club or hotel lobby in the country you can hear the terms “multi-millionaire” and '‘billionaire” flung about as if such things were as common as butterflies in a Florida swamp. Henry Ford's private income is usually placed at $60,000,000 per annum. Yet the total income for all the multi-millionaires in America was only $77,000,000, which would leave but $17,000,000 for the other thirty-two. But if they had not confessed to more than $1,000,000 each, they couldn’t have got into that class. The total income of all individuals engaged in the manufacture of rubber goods for 1920 is solemnly declared to have been $1,793,000. Yet Southern California hotels never house less than half a hundred "multimillionaire” auto tire manufacturers winter or summer! Either some folks have been lying to the government or lying to each other —probably a little of both. Facts are multi-millionaires are a whole lot scarcer than the club lounge gossip would have you think, even in this dear United States.

.4 Broad Ripple Plebiscite There seems to be two sides to that Broad Ripple annexation plan, just as all questions affecting any considerable group of citizens present today. Indianapolis as a whole will welcome the little community into the fold and will be proud to point to the increased area and population which the consolidation makes possible, but apparently there is an element of Broad Ripple dwellers who prefer “home rule ’ and who are unwilling to surrender their government to the Shank administration. It is to be hoped that the councilmen who voted for the annexation carefully investigated the matter before they introduced and passed the ordinance bringing the suburb into the greater city, but from the outcry that has been raised by indignant Broad Rippleites it would seem that the opinions of some very substantial citizens have been overlooked or ignored. If the little town has been annexed through the overzealous efforts of some councilmen who failed to take into consideration the wishes of the townspeople, then a grave injustice has been perpetrated. If the outbursts are only the voice of a minority and the greater part of the population desires annexation, then the council acted wisely. In the remaking of Europe following the World War, new boundaries were settled by referendum and thus the word plebiscite came into general usage through its prevalence in the new dispatches. Perhaps the administration could settle this question satisfactory by submitting it to a plebiscite and then acting in accordance with the wishes of the Broad Ripple citizens as expressed by the majority. The Unsealed Heights Reports from Calcutta state that the Young'husband expedition for scaling Mt. Everest was, at the time the dispatches were sent out, within, two thousand feet of the summit. It wa3 originally thought that it would take two or three years to reach the top of the world. Success has been surprising. It seems now probable that the virgin summit will be attained this summer. It may have been reached before this is published. A wonderful era of physical victories over nature! We fly. We navigate the depths. We make the electric current our artist, clerk, orator, singer and mechanical slave. Steam power is an old story, and we move on to things more powerful and subtler. We conquer deserts, poles, mountains and floods. We do the impossible. But where are our moral conquests? We find no way of extirpating injustice and tyranny. We shake off chattel slavery, only to find in Us place a more complex industrial servitude. On an earth made for “the children of men" millions are without places to lay their heads, though “foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests.” MiUions who want work are idle, and this with an earth not half tilled. Nineteen hundred years after the Prince of Peace went to the cross, it is Christendom, not heathendom, which lies in throes which may be those of death, through the most awful carnival of mutual murder in all history. Have the victories we have won over things physical any real value unless we scale the moral heights? No! For our very command of the elements may be the death of our civilization! There is great agitation in China because those who are charged with the duty of keeping the grave of ConfuCius are letting it grow up to weeds. But there are also weeds growing on the grave of Jesus. The weeds of war, oppression, greed, injustice, international hate. These will not be conquered by physical victories. V® must scale the moral heights. The Merest of the soul still stands And that is what ails us.

HONEST CLAIM DISCOURAGED BY UNCLE SAM Government Policy Is Such as to Encourage Graft, Dishonesty, It Is Admitted. By W. H. PORTERFIELD. WASHINGTON, June 21—“ Many of the subterfuges of the United States Government to avoid payment of an honest claim would do credit to the confirmed deadbeat!” The speaker, a well-known Congressman, was looking gloomily at the claim of a group of citizens for $23,000, now held In Congress, and which, although admitted to be absolutely correct and honest as well, cannot possibly be al lowed before the next session. This particular claim was for destruction and mutilation of lands used by the War Department as a camp duriug the war. Months of hard work finally resulted in getting the claim through the Wai Department with a recommendation that It be paid. But that meant nothing sot tthe bill was simply "filed.” Then a bill was introduced in Congress to pay the claim. But there are 300 other claims Just as honesty and all are help up by the claims committee and chiefly by Congressman Joe Walsh .of Massachusetts, who baldly stated that he considered it a virtue to defeat and discourage as much as possible all claims against the Government. The whole system of treatment of creditors by the Government is a direct bid for graft, dishonesty, overcharging and worse crimes, many Congressmen admit. Deferring payment of bills to make a showing of economy is a regular thing In Congress—a practice which would not be tolerated one instant in any reputable firm in America.

A baby stores fat for its future growth, but when the child has reached the age of ten this is usually used up. From ten to twenty, the growth of the body being slower, the fat has a chanco to catch up with the growth. From twenty to thirty the fat Is burned up about as fast as it Is created by the quickness with which young people move. By the time she is thirty, however, the average woman has been married to a man a few years older than herself, and they haee “settled down," This was the story of Mrs. linn Gobbler, who at twenty [ was quite normal in size. By the time Mrs. Tma Gobbler was [ thirty five and her husband, Heza Gob- | bier, was about forty, they had become addicted to the easy chair and to indulging In ail the rich foods which are so common on tho American table.

The specialist in a few minutes bad laid down his simple program, and Mrs. Gobbler started on it. Nobody was more astonished than the Gobblers themselves to see how quickly the fat began to disappear. At the end of five months she called again at the specialist's office, and the specialist's records showed that she had lost forty pounds. -1- M- -I* ON VIEW TODAY.

New Jersey seems to abound with memorials of various kinds worthy of presidential dedications; Maryland was happy to have the key to a Harding visit and now Massachusetts Is preparing a demonstration rating high enough to scud a Bay State delegation down to the White House with an invitation. Perhaps It is purely a coincidence that Senator Frelingliuysen wag in the picture in New Jersey, that Senator France had a front-row seat at Baltimore, and that Senntor Lodge will be active at the Boston exercises—the trio being up before their respective constituencies this year. Mr. Harding, having refused to take sides in the primary fights, doubtless is in for a lot of “bids" to attend public exercises in other strategical States. Bad penmanship of some shipping has become another factor in the trials of House leaders responsible for getting the ship'subsidy bill before Congress.

EARLY RETURN OF ALIEN CASH CONTEMPLATED President Harding Expects to Ask Congress for Legislation, It Is Announced. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON,. June 21.—President Harding expects to ask Congress in the near future for legislation providing for the return of about $30,000,000 of the $400,000,000 of German and Austro-Hun-garian property, seized by the Government during the war, to relieve the poorer classes of those nations. The Administration, it was officially announced at the White House, is hopeful of working out a plan whereby amounta up to SIO,OOO of the 33,000 trusts now held by the alien property custodian may be restored to their owners. While all owners of sequestered alien property would benefit under the plan, the chief benefleiariers would be the 29,000 owners, whose property is valued at less than SIO,OOO. Some of the trusts are valued as less than SIOO, while others are valued at hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. In this way, it was pointed out, no class would be discriminated against. At the same time the plan would not in any way Jeopardize the American claims against Germany, which amount to abouj, $415,000,000, as the larger trusts would be left in the hands of this Government until a final settlement is marie with Germany. It was officially announced that President Harding would never countenance a policy by the Government of confiscation of private property to satisfy the war claims. He is said to regard such a policy as repugnant arid would only consider a i>lan for the payment of such claims as the Lusitania by the German government. Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, has recently held several conferences on the German property question with the president and Representative Winslow, chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign commerce Committee. No property can be returned to citizens of Germany, Austria or Hungary, under the law, until special provision is made. At the same time that the President asks for this special legislation, it was said he may request congressional approval of a mixed commission to adjust the entire war claims questions between America and Germany. Os the $400,000,000 in sequestered property about $170,000,000 is In cash. The alien property custodian has about $16*1,000,000 of this cash Invested in Treasury certificates. The balance is being used to meet the current expenses of administering the huge trust fund. — Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. JOHN W. ROYF.TT IS DEAD. ANDERSON. Ind., June 21—John W.

Argentine, Belgian, Italian, Japanese, Peruvian, British, German, Mexican, Swedish, Chinese, Ilugarian, Uruguan and Roumalnlnn, either are without their accredited heads now or will bo in a very few days. Speculation continues rife as to the President's choice for two high treasury posts which soon must be filled. Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, has completed all his plans to leave the capital on July 1, for his home at Evanston, 111. Gossip still associates the name of Brig. Gen. H. M. Lord, chief of the finance division of the War Department, with the Budget Director vacancy. Mr. Harding hoped to fill the Federal Reserve Board vacancy last week. An appointment is likely in a few days. Many prominent names are in the pot. House members who felt obligated to extend social courtesies to members of the Philippines delegation, here seeking Independence for the islands in return for the hospitality extended the congressional Junkers of 1921 are learning that Manuel Quezon, chairman of the delegation. Is a busy man. Senator Quezon has too many friends in Washington to lack invitations. He was the Philippine delegate in the House for several years before returning to lead politics among his own people, and established here a wide circle of friends eager to welcome him back. The political prophets are vindicated. Their dire prediction that statesmen would be confronted with golf as a political issue have at last been fulfilled. For golf has been made one of the "burning Issues" In the New Jersey senatorial contest, according to Frank F. Patterson Jr., campaign manager for Senator Frellnghuysen. The Senator, Mr. Patterson asserts not only pleads guilty to the indictment of his enemies that he Is a close personal friend and a golf companion of President Harding, but he is proud of the fact. _ * “If golf he treason, let them make the most of It.” said Mr. Patterson. “Senator Frellnghuysen is neither a demagogue nor a hypocrite. He is a real statesman. He positively refuses to play to the galleries, and he would not take a false position or make a false statement to gain one vote. He is honest to the core and when he turns that winning smile on you and you look into his frank, blue eyes, you know he Is sincere In everything he says or does."
