The espionage act passed during the World War has not been repealed. If we went to war tomorrow, no matter how unjust the war, any person condemning it, even in private conversation, would become liable to twenty years’ imprisonment and a fine of $20,000. Such a law is un-American. It should be repealed. Under it Abraham Lincoln would have gone to jail; for he disapproved of the Mexican War. Had such a law been in force in England William Pitt would have been sent to prison for that speech which every schoolboy has thrilled to read: “If I were an American as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I f would never lay down by arms! Never, never, never!” Suppose this country should declare war on Cuba or Mexico, or Russia, should not every man who thought the war unjust have the right freely to say so? But under this espionage act, which would revive the moment we were at war, he would be subject to the tyranny of keeping silent while his country committed a fearful crime, else be punished as a criminal. It was probably a mistake ever to pass the law. It probably did more harm than good. And now this piece of tyrannical legislation, such as America never endured before, and such as no Eng-lish-speaking people ever endured, should be repealed. It is important. We should not forget it. Now is the time to keep it and its repeal in mind. How Did You See It? THAT no two persons hear exactly alike is the conclusion of Dr. Harvey Fletcher, who has summed up experiments by telephone companies. * Each member of an audience listening to a musical concert hears something a trifle different from what is heard by the others. This is true of all our other senses, particularly our sight No two persons “see anything in exactly the same light.” If you doubt it, ask a to describe something witnessed in common—a fire or a fight. Our “What Did You See” editor receives duplicated reports of incidents that happen on Indianapolis streets. No two contributions on the same incident tally in detail. One day recently six persons reported the same happening. All were slightly different. Difference of impressions is what makes difference of opinion. Difference of opinion is causing the world’s present turmoil. Recalling Dan Patch A HEADLINE tells of the burning of the SIOO,OOO stable that used to be the home of Dan Patch at Savage, Minn. It will open the locked doors of many memories. Dan Patch was born not far from Indianapolis. He was trained on Indiana tracks. Many of his worthy descendants are owned and raced today by Indiana horsemen. There are many famous race horses today. But Dan PatCh stands out clear-cut and unique, a monument to the delightful racing days before the sport of kings fell under the influence of dishonest gamblers. There will be horse racing at the State Fair this year. Jn some respects it will he like the old days when Dan Patch performed on the fairground track here. There is talk of bringing Grand Circuit races to Indianapolis. Horsemen are trying to build anew ship. Have they learned their lesson?

French Fear of German Revenge Centers on Mortality Figures

By SIILTOS/B ROSS E R PARIS, Aug. 25.—Ask any well informed Frenchman why he fears German revenge and he will probably show you a table like this:

France Germany Births per 1000 .... 20.7 26 1 Deaths per 1000 17.7 14.8 Births over deaths per 1000 3.0 12.3 Absolute Increase in population 117.000 695,000

Now let's translate these dry statistics Into terms of human flesh. Go with me to Loehes, that old medieval fortress and chateau city of Touraine where Louis XI planned and plotted. Near the castle Is a little estaminet or saloon. It is run by a widow. Her eldest son, Louis Bertrand, about nine, is “tending bar” for her. “What is your military class, Louis?” “Nineteen twenty-three,, sir.” The answer comes prompt as a shot. It’s the answer every boy in France gives at once, only the date varies.

The thing that troubles that the way things are now going there will only be about 60,000 additional Louis Bertrands in 1940-41 while in Germany there will be 350,000. In other words, for every additional soldier France can give to her armies, as a result of increase in births over deaths, Germany can add six. Official figures for the last two years have filled the French governing classes with fear. Not only did the births In 1321 show a decrease compared with 1920, but the deaths show an increase. And furthermore, the number of marriages in 1921 sank to 546,221 as compared with 623,860 in 1920. It is feared the annual number of marriages may fall to the low level of 1913, when only 312,036 cou-' pies were married.

SMALLPOX By DR. R. 11. BISHOP | T Na few more weeks vaccination will ■ ! come to a close for j MT ’I ■ ) hundreds of thou- j ■ sands of children Li ' j jfe al * over the United > jI ! States. Back to i t H | schoolhoui.es, large j i and small, urban j and rural, they H j will flock. Your j, child will be one of them. Have you allowed him to go unprotected against smallpox? Smallpox has few terrors for our generation, because few of us have seen the ravages which it used to make before the discovery of vaccine. We are becoming careless. We put off getting vaccinated and having our children vaccinated. This growing carelessness will result in many deaths from smallpox some day. Vaccination is not a dangerous process During the two years of the war. 3,000,000 persons were vaccinated In this country without a single death. Since vaccination is the only sure preventive of smallpox, it Is essential that one should be vaccinated early In life. A baby should be vaccinated during its first year and again at-the age of 10. After two successful vaccinations, immunity usually last a lifetime. However, if one is exposed to the smallpox, and has not had the disease, he should be vaccinated at once unless he has under gone the treatment within the pr ceding five years.

MONEY A gentleman who is a glutton for punishment figures out that the allied debt to Uncle Sam is more dollars' than there are letterstin 4,000 Bibles. Shipped to us in silver dollars, it would fill 10,000 freight cars. People who discuss the debt glibly, and talk as if canceling it were a routine matter such as yawning, are like a man trying to pick up a railroad locomotive with a pair of bonbon tongs. FLYING The day of the flying freight train, it now develops, is further off than the optimist promised. Airplane freight service between London and Paris is discontinued. The cost was prohibitive. Service hereafter, the company announces, will be limited to passengers. A battle is thus lost, but the war is not. Inventors now will get their dander up and find the way to cut the cost of carrying freight through the air. There la a way.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Senator McCumber May Enter Race for Re-Election as Independent

By HARRY B. BUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Senator Porter J. McCumber, chairman of the Senate finance committee, G. O. P. regular and chief engineer for the Republican party in putting the now tariff bill through the Senate, Is cdnsldering running for re-election In November as an Independent. McCumber was defeated for the Republican nomination by Lynn Frazier, formerly Non-Partisan League Governor of North Dakota, In the recent primaries. Because of his prominence in .the G. O. P. Senate machine, MoCumber's defeat was an especially hard blow to the party organization. Old Guard to Aid So alarmed are Old GuanJ" leaders in the Senate over the political situation, even within their own party, as evidenced by the nomination of Frazier in North Dakota, Beveridge in Indiana and Brookhart In lowa, over organization-approved Old Guard candidates, that they are ready to throw party-regularity—in name—into thet discard and get behind McCumber as an Independent in a desperate attempt to defeat Frazier, the party’s regular nominee. McCumber is known to be hesitating over the decision, but Old Guard leaders who are endeavoring to perDEFENSE Writer Extols Virtuous “Flapper," Rouge and Frills. To the Editor of The Time* In your paper of Aug. 21 I read an article signed ’’lndianapolis Flapper," in which she was defending the modem girl with bobbed hair. I admire this little girl for the step she has taken. It Is quite true that a certain class of people who do not use any rouge and powder condemn the girl who does use It and say the girl who rouges is of a questionable character. It is to this class of people I am writing this letter. It is because they are very \ narrow minded. There are some instances I know of where women dress very plain, using no artificial make up at all, yet they have a skeleton In their own closet, and these women dress plain and wear cheap clothing to disguise their own lives. We cannot judge a book by its cover! While I am applying my rouge powder or arranging my bob’.' ' I am not interfering with my neighbors’ affairs, and I do believe there is more harm in neighborhood gossip than remaining indoors trying to copy a pretty little frock from a modern fashion plate. There are many wonderful women who are members of the church I attend who rouge and powder and I know their characters are above reproach. I also know many good, clean, moral girls who are not church members, that like to make the best of their appearance by the use of cosmetics. When the people were condemning Mary Magdalene taken before Christ Jesus, He said: “Let them that be without sin cast the first stone,” and when He looked they were gone. So it is with the people that are condemning girls they know nothing about. Is that Christianity? Remember, Mary Magdalene wore her hair long and her skirts trailed the ground. The sin isn't in the

suade him to make the plunge, assuring him of energetic support, believe he will decide to make the race. If by a concentration of effort in North Dakota, they can put McCumber across as an Independent, they will be retaining certain support for their own policies in the Senate and at the same time give an appearance of popular vindication of the new tariff bill which he fathered. "Newberry Issue” Another consideration, scarcely less desirable to the Old Guardsters urging McCumber’s race as an Independent, would be the possibility of “cashing In” on the Hughes whitewash of Senator Newberry. McCumber’s vote to seat Newberry was one of the big factor* contributing to his defeat at Ute primaries. If with the assistance orahe Hughes let* ter upholding Newberry’s right to his seat and the support of high tariff interests McCumber can be returned to the Senate, it is believed much of the course of the Newberry scandal cast be taken off Senators who voted to seat Newberry and who are slated to face opposition on that ground in 1924 —the next presidential year. And that is considered of utmost importance to the party's future. rouge and the powder; it is in the thought. However, mortal mind will continue to criticise until it learns better. MARION MYERS. To the Editor ot The Time* Your "high brow” contributor who so indiscreetly challenged the right of the city to levy' a playing tax on the South Grove golf course probably has read accounts of how much money has beep collected since the tax went into effect. The figures, as reported, ran into the hundreds of dollars for one day alone —showing, of course, that the fee had very little to do with playing, after all. As long as the American public wants to play golf It will do so, regardless of the cost. It is impossible to make anything as exclusive as last week's writer would have it known. Indianapolis is just as American as any other city or community, and the people certainly aren't going to stand back because of having to fay 25 cents a round for golf. PUTTER.

HODSIER URGES MUTUAL BONUS IN CMOFIIS Blauvelt, Terre Haute Mine President, Has Idea Ready for Harding. BUYERS MAY PROFIT Scheme Provides Quicker Transportation of Fuel With Savings. By C. C. LYOX. Time* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.—A plan to stabilize the coal mining industry is already awaiting the cohsideration of President Harding's proposed factfinding commission the moment it gets down to business. It comes from Warren S. Blauvelt of Terra Haute, Ind., president of a coal and coke company. Blauvelt, during the war. served on the staff of Fuel Administrator Harry Garfield as director of the coke bureau and member of the production committee. Blauvelt’s plan to revamp the mining industry so that it will give years around employment and cheaper coal contemplates a system of bonuses to operators who will make steady shipments, and to buyers who make purchases during “dull seasons.” Would Share Bonuses The bonuses to the operators would come from the coal-carrying railroads and, according to Blauvelt’s scheme, would be shared with tn<j coal buyers. “Every effort to compel the public to purchase coal when It could be mined and transported most economically is bound to fail,”-he declared. "But the public would quickly learn to purchase coal in dull seasons, and to the extent necessary to insure practically uniform operation of mipes through out the year, if conditions were established under which the coal consumer would bo adequately rewarded for so doing. Saving Possible. “It is possible to establish a system of fro glit rales on coal and coke which v\ou! i adequately reward consumers. dealers and shippers for cooperating to utilize existing mine and railroad equipment uniformly throughout the year, with consequent material reductions in price to consumers.” Under Blauvelt’s plan, operators who shipped coal regularly over the same route to a given destination for a per od of twenty consecutive weeks would be refunded 8 per cent of the freight bjls during the winter and 12 per cent during the summer. "Competition.” he said, "would compel shippers to pass on to their customers the commissions obtainable from the carriers as a reward for regular sh'pmcnts." Fall Fruits Realistically shaped anch tinted fruits, including grapes, apples and pears, are the most approved trimmings for frocks, according to a dispatch from England. * .
