Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a strangsr, and not thine own lips. Proverbs 28:2. Tardy Justice TEN persons charged with first degree murder are contìned in thè county jail. In addition there are hundreds of other eases awaiting trial in thè Criminal Court, thè defendants in some of -whieh also are in jail. 1 he mill of justice in Marion County eertainlv grinds slowly. Is there anv good reason? Profìt in Guns AN INDIANAPOLIS boy owned a .22-caliber pistol about half thè length of your band. This week he tokl twelve citizens of thè county in thè Criminal Court that he shot another boy in self-defense. Neighbors said. so, too. The other boy didn’t deny thè statement. Ile was in thè graveyard. Today thè killer is in thè State reformatory starting a term of two to fourteen years. Both would be producers of wealth if some one had not been allowed to manufaeture and soli thè little gun. The State would have been saved thè expense of a convietion. A man with a gun who is afraid to use it gets in serious trouble if he pulls it. If he does use it he gets into worse. A law against thè manufaeture and sale of thè “one-handed” gun is needed to check our mounting list of killings. Paying Pigs . BOVS and girls of thè Hoosier rural distriets sound it profitable to remain on thè farm this summer rather than seek employment in towns and eities. Aeeordiug to information gathered by thè State board of agriculture through banks and county agrieultural auents, thè savings of thè averasre boy and girl of Indiana’s rural distriets, more than doubled that of thè average boy or girl in thè city. This was brought about through seientific methods of pig elubs and agriculture shows whieh promoted thè interest of thè farm boy and girl in edueating themselves to thè higher standard of farming and stock raising Demon’s Speed M N AIRPLANE with a speed of 500 iniles an x'Vhour will be developed “within a comparatively short time.” So predicts Brig.

C-. incloaing 2 conta in stampe. Medicai, legai and love and marna?© advice wlll not be riven. Cnslgned lettera will not be answered. but all lettera are confidentlal and rectivt personal replles.—Editor Q. —What is thè cause of thè war gofng on between thè Greeks and Turks? A.—The war is not a recent one, n fact. in one phase or another, it has been going on since ancient times. Greece has been attemptlng for a long time to reclaim her ancient territory and regalo her former potver. Turkey has attempted to prevent this as they are rivals for thè same sections of country. Before thè World War. Germany, through trade and politicai influence, more or less dominated Turkey, and therefore Turkey went in on thè side of Germany. Aster thè World War thè sentlment was strong against thè Turks and there was an attempt so take away everything they possessed in Europe. The treaty of Sevres, which was sìgned by thè old and tottering government of thè Turks. was never agreed to by thè Turkish Nationalist eparty, which was becoming powerful. The Nationalists are now flghtir.g for thè territory which would have been lost in this war, and thè present armistice agreement restores Thrace to them. Q. —What was thè fastest 3-year-old paclng colt in 1921? The fastest gelding? A. —The fastest pacing colt was Peter Hanley, time, 2:08*4; fastest gelding Robert Direct, 2:07. Q. —What brought about thè Swedish settlement in Deiaware, near Wilmington? A. —One Peter Minuit offered his Services to thè govemment of Sweden. Through thè influence of Oxenstiem, then chancellor, a Swedish West India Company was organized and Minuit was commissioned to establlsh a Swedish colony in America. Q. —In writing a letter to King George of England, how should thè envelope be addressed? A. —As follows: “To His Most Gracious Majesty King George.” Q. —What does so\det mean? A.—lt means simply “a council.” j The soviet government is a govem-
nish air for thè people in an air-tight cabin of thè flying craft. The frontiers of countries then will virtually disappear. Prohibition or most other attempts to regulate individuala’ eonduct will be futile, unless thè laws apply all over thè world. What will be thè good of drastic law, applying only iu one country, when men will be able to evade it by flying to another country in a few minutes or hours ? The airplane will steadily lessen tlie effectiveness of mauy laws within any given country, and international laws will beeome thè most important statutes in thè world. Phone Rates WE ARE repeatedly informed that thè Indiana Bell Telephone Company is unable to make any money on its presocit rates and that an increase is due it if thè “Wall Street stockholders are to reeeive tiie eustomary G per cent on their investment.” What we are beginning to wonder about is whether thè Wall Street shareholders know, much less care, anvthing about our service. We know a man who has been trving for two weeks to get a phone connected when thè phone is already installed in thè house. If business is so poor. how does it happen that thè company can not find time to send some one to make thè connection? If a factory can not make money when placed on a production basis there is not much hope for it and if thè telephone company can not make money when its service department is running to full capacity there is verv litth* hope left it. Is this overwork or just negligenee that causes all thè delayf Labor’s Leisure TIIE greatest engineering body in America eondemns thè twelve-hour workday in steel and other industries. This is a great compliment to thè wisdom of thè labor unions, and it eomes from thè highest outsidc source. We are going to thè eight-hóur day, soon. And thè thing for labor to do is to studv thè problem of what to do with this new leisure. It is a vital problem. ' So far. millions of our laboring men have not solved it in any way compatitile with their own or thè Nation’s or labor’s reai welfare. And thè proper use of that time might mean much to a staggering world. Keep ’Em at Home THERE are three times as many high school football teams in Indiana this season as in 1921. This means thè gridiron sport is becoming more popular among spectators and players. More high school teams mean that more good players will he developed and these athletes, if they go to colleges in Indiana, will giye thè coaches material from whieh to build teams that will defeat thè college elevens of other States.
