0 give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalms 118:1. A Determined School Board EVIDENCE of a firm purpose to permit no more monkeywrenches to be thrown into its building program was shown at the school board’s meeting Tuesday. The school commissioners are demonstrating they have sensed the strong public demand for immediate construction of permanent buildings adequate to the school city’s rapid growth. „ If the self-styled “citizens school committee,” which appeared at the meeting, has good reason for objecting to any portion of the program for erecting badly needed buildings, it has had—and still has—plenty of opportunity to let the public know. But the majority of citizens who have the welfare of the schools and the future of Indianapolis at heart have gotten to the point where any move that savors of mere “stalling” meets with little approval. Over too long a period, objections raised by certain large taxpayers to the building of more schools were largely responsible for forcing of thousands of children into unfit temporary shelters. Until the “citizens committee” goes farther than merely to call’ for delay, without supporting its demands by any definite objec j tions, the public can only assume that the “committee” merely: aims to take up the work" of obstructing school improvements where the Taxpayers League left off. If the citizens committee has any serious objections to the; building program which should carry weight with the public, it j can bring them forward now just as well as it could had the school, commissioners yielded to the demand of the committee for indefinite delay. * r It can readily be seen that if the school board is not ready to take advantage of any favorable building conditions early in the coming spring—if the school board dallies around with the proposition for a few weeks more—it may be possible to throw the entire building program over for another long period. Not a Quitter _ LLOYD GEORGE’S political enemies in Great Britain are demanding that he quit office because of the dangers of his! near eastern policies. Every time a crisis arises anywhere in the! world there is the cry that Lloyd George ought to resign and make the world safe again. But, somehow, at the last moment, when the little "Welshman makes a move as though he were going to take his critics at their word, there is a spontaneous movement to hold his coattails and fasten him more firmly in the seat of power. If Lloyd George has got Europe into a crisis or two, he has pulled his continent out of many more crises made by others. The Turkish embroilment is all to Lloyd George’s honor. Lloyd George’s fundamental political beliefs are liberal. His efforts first jo save the Christian Greeks, and- second, to save all southwestern Europe from the Turks, were dictated by his essential liberalism. Reaction rouses his fighting temper as nothing else does. If America were playing a full part in world affairs, Lloyd George’s stand against the Turks would have been America’s tand, as well. Eventually, Lloyd George will have to give up the premiership. But it will be only for a time, if he keeps his health. Ge will return to power, after the lesser men have had their day. The Lloyd Georges of the world never stay down. Mother Goose A N elderly lady of Texas has sent a small sum of money to the c\. National League of Women Voters to be awarded as a prize for the best nursery rhyme “inculcating a conscientious and patriotic attitude toward the exercise of the franchise.” Good!

Pets—Are They Losing Out? AN authority on the subject says the average Indianapolis dweller is not a lover of pets. He finds foreign-born citi- j /iens, especially Germans, Irish, Scotch and Italians, arc “very fond of pets.” The tendency not to bestow so much affection on pets here, may be its population. The fact that we are not so loving toward animals is not such an undesirable indictment. It is all very fine to be kind to “poor dam brutes,” (as a Japanese school boy speaks of them), but a good deal of affection is wasted on pets that should be expended on humans.

HUY power of niaeasa TO PACIFIC COAST Expert Predicts Possibilities in New Electron Tube He Has Invented. By United New* ALBANY, , Oct. 18.—Power generated at Niagara. Falls will be picked up and transmitted by radio to San Francisco where it will turn the wheels of factories, Dr. Irving Lang muir, radio expert of the Genei-al Electric Company, predicted in discussing the possibilities that lie in the new electron tube which he has invented. Trains probably can be operated by electrical energy sent through the air when the invention is brought to perfection, Dr. Langmuir said. "Such devices probably will be used not merely for radio purposes, but may ultimately play an Important part in such problems as the electrification of railroads and the transmission of power to long distances by means of direct current,” the radio expert explained. He spent years on the invention. SING THE ‘BLUES’ Lawrence Township Candidates Learn Soldiers Do Not Vote There.
