Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of thè desolatlon of thè wicked, when It cometh. Proverbs 3:25. That Proposed New Market is not a housewife who has glanced with J. distaste at thè dingy rafters of thè city market building but will be interested in thè city market commissiou’s recommentìations for a new structure to repiace thè old east market and Tomlinson Hall. Husbands, too. All of us prefer sanltary handllng for our food. The market is one of thè few paying public institutlons in thè State. In forty-two years fees from standhelders netted thè city generai fund $584,359, In addltkm to $69,523 spent on repalrs and improvements. The market ls paying enough today and would have inofeased earning power in new quarters sufficient to retlre a $2,000,000 bond issue and pay all upkeep and fftterest in approximately forty years, thè commisslon says. It would take such a sum to carry out thè pian. Besides thè proposai to make thè market a glistenlng white paradise for thè food shopper, one of thè most iateresting plana of thè commisslon ls that for thè establishment of a city-operated sectlon. Here food would be sold at prices Just high enough to include a rwsonable proflt. Standholdera would have to come down to thè city eection’s level to compete with lt. WS.S a more sensible way of preventing proflteerlng In food ever suggested? One of thè chief critlcisms of thè market has been that prices were no lower than at many of thè corner grocery Stores. Growers will come to thè market in numbers to gladden thè heart of thè housewife who wants fresh goods and producer-to-consumer prices if thè present curb market, In which peddlers, who buy from commission men for thè most part, now predominate, thè commlssion belleves. For this reason, it suggested suitable curb stands for farmers and gardeners only be estabItshed on thè sldewalks of Market St., between Alabama and Delaware Sta. Peddlers would occupy thè Inside stands. More producers had stands on thè curb market thls summer than ever before, city officiala claim, because an effort was made to accommodate them. For thè business man there is a promise of benefit in thè proposai to build a new Tomlinson Hall, with seatlng capaeity of 10,000 and sufficient floor space to hold large expositions. Such an auditorium in such a downtown location would attract many more national conventions than Indianapolis now gets. The Chamber of Commerce estimate that every delegate to every convention held here spends an average of $7 a day. A representative of thè Chamber said he thought hls body’s pian to build an exposition building by private stock subscription would be shelved for a few years if thè city rebullt Tomlinson Hall, because thè latter pian would fili thè need for a larger public gathering place for a number of years to come. “In Chains” ■w-wyHEX this Uncle Sam Nation really gets down to YY thè job of overlording alien peoples, we certainly go lt strong. Couple of years ago seventy-seven Manila policemen decided that thè Philippines should have a little of that self-determination thing that all thè Europeans were talking so much about in those days. Accordingly, they ran out of thè barracks one day, shot up thè Street a bit, including a few "loyal” native constables, and in a few minutes landed behind cold American Steel bars. At thè trial, eleven of thè insurrectos were sen- | tenced to lise imprisonment, IN CHAINS, and tlie remainder to seventeen years’ Imprisonment, IN' CHAINS. Their lawyers appealed from this “cruel and unusual punishment” to a hlgher court. And just for that thè penalty was promptly changed to death for thè eleven and to lise in prison, IN CHAINS, for thè other sixty-slx. Now thè case ls In thè United States Supreme Court. What •will happen? Hang thè stxty-six and put thè eleven on thè rack—to be drawn and cut and qu&rtered? This insurrecto business is a funny thing. Win and you’re a patriot. Lose and you land in chains. Your lntentions are exactly thè same in both Instances, but is to thè rewards—Oh, boy! Touring thè Home Town T’HE reai estate men of Indianapolis have decided to leeone better acquainted with thè old home town. Thev are going on a tour to find out all about what is being manufactured in Indianapolis, how it is manufactured, why Indianapolis is a good location for thè factory, and in acquiring this Information they also will gather a lot of pointers on thè needs of thè city and thè views of manufacturers as to what will make it a city of half a mfllion. Did you ever go through a big industriai plani., noting thè many processes and steps through which thè raw materials mu3t pass to be tumed into thè finished product? Made you feel that you had learned something of value, didn’t it?—somethlng Interesting, something that made you proud of your city. Ic would be a fine thing if more organizations would leam more about Indianapolis, as thè realtors will do in their tour of manufacturing plants. Showing thè Railroads Up HENRY FORD'S railroad lost, according to its report, $530,556 in 1921. And thè “regulars” in thè railway business, and on papers and magazines, take occasion to sneer at thè way this ‘‘magician of business” ha" stubbed his toe. They choose to forget that thté -ma vali way lost $2,184,885 thè year before and prior to Henry’s control of it. Instead of showing a fa-dure, ìt marks a great success. It marks progress toward solvency to thè tune of $1,654,329 in a single year of Ford management, in thè face of thè fact that, while thè Government wouldn’t let him reduce thè freight rate on coal, as he wanted to do, he did reduce rates cn a lot of other commodities. And yet he neariy pulled thè streak of rust and right-of-way out of its finantial hole. This railway is thè D„ T. & I.—Detroit, Toledo & Ironton —but folks along Its line years ago changed thè signification of thè initials.. They said they meant Delirium Tremens and Insomnia. The road was a joke until Ford got it, and since that time it has been a Joke of thè severely practical sort, struggling to reduce rates, raising wages of employes, shortening their hours—and making astounding strides toward solvency. It is said that Ford ls likely to acquire thè M., K. & TANARUS„ which would give him a gulf port and a terminu in St. Louis, but which would not connect with thè D. T. Se L Here’s hoping he gets It, or some other man’s

size railroad. His management of such a System would prove something. It would settle thè question as to whether thè D., T. & I. makes its increased revenues out of shipments from thè Ford factories rather than by regular railroading. The critics say it is thè former. Those who believe in Ford’s genius say that it is thè latter. Probably no great business is so sadly mismanaged, so utterìy without initiative, so hopelessly behind thè times, and discouraged, and grafted upon, and eaten up with unfaithfulness, to thè stockholders and bondholders and to thè public, as thè steam railway business of thè United States. Hence, we are for thè D., T. & I. and for thè Fliwer King’s chance to handle a reai railway. Wall Street Unafraid TIME was. and not so many years ago, when such a politicai landslide as that of Tuesday would have thrown Wall Street into panie. It used to be that especially on thè occasion of a Democratic vlctory stocks slumped or thè flnancial powers so manipulated things that thè stock market reflected thè politicai change in a striking way. But foilowing thè election just concluded there was thè barest ripple in thè New York stock market. And from that ripple there was a quick and strong recov ery, although numerous politicai speakers in recent ; stump speeches tried to persuade voterà that Bolshevism and thè Democratic party were running band iu hand. The old days when money centers could be made to tremble at thè Democratic bugaboo seem gone forever. Is it because thè great interests in Wall Street 1 are better organlzed and have steadier nerves or be cause they believe thè Democratic party is so near allke thè Republlcan that they have nothing to fear?

Our Interest in World Wages A RESOLUTION has been introdueed lnviting tho United States to take part In thè work of thè International labor office at Geneva, Switzerland. The resolution was introdueed by thè Japanese delegate. This International labor office is working on thè great problema connected with labor leglslatlon, working conditions, working class iuovementa, wages and thè like over all thè world. One would think that thè Harding Administration—or any other —would be glad to accept thè invitation. But this body was establlshed under thè treaty of Versailles. Hitherto, this Administration has preferred, in several cases, to refuse to do good rather than seem to take part In any work whatsoever in any way, even remotely, connected with that treaty. We are interested in thè welfare of thè workers in all lands. We have Jnst passed thè hlghest tarlff iu all our history and Justlfled lt mainly by thè old argu menta that this ls a hlgh-wage country, and we must protect our workmen agalnst thè low wage output. World staadardization would remove our handicap In this regard. There ls no argument which occurs to us in favor of rejecting this invitation. If we stay out. it will be because of thè pettv vlew that, because we have decided not to Jotn thè League of Nations or ratlfy thè Versailles treaty, we will refuse to help even In thè most sacred cause that can be concelved, thè betterment of thè condltion of humanlty everywhere, merely because thè work ls being done under that treaty or by that league. Such a course ralses thè question as to why we do not tum over our Government to thè schoolboys. In Bad Company twOUR Indianapolis youths are under arrest on F charge of throwing a switch and attemptlng to derail a fast train. One of thè four admltted that he threw thè switch on a dare. Two of thè young men maintain their innocence. Until proved guilty, they stand innocent in thè eyes of thè law. But public sentiment says: “Birds of a feather flock together." Such incidente as this remind us with what care one should choose acquaintances. Permit Usto Say Kansas City man who began lise as a poor boy owes $1,709,461 now. Nlce thing about a cold winter is you don’t miss beer so much. The stingiest man again has some Red Cross seals he took off of his Christmas packages last year. A well-known reformer plana to go nround thè world. We wish him success on thè flrst half of hls trip. Chicago is building a church twenty-one stories high which won’t got them any hlgher than a one-story church. The world gets better. A geologist claims ages ago England and Ireland were connected by land. Reader writea us he vislted New York without 6ecing any shooting. He should have demanded hls money back. Modern politeness consista of a man offering his seat to a lady when he gets ofT thè car. A fine way to get up Is to put thè alarm clock under thè bed so you will have to crawl to get it. Nice thing about applauding movies is you don’t get an eneo re. s TOM SIMS. The Champ Passes TT took Old Father t'fmo^oTicU tluuMrd! I „ Old Father Time that gel* 'ent all at last But Roy.

H. G. Wells Ridicules English Leaders and Says Modern Civilization Is Crumbling

ysls which he believes ls creeping over civilization. Thi’redihold of Ape The world Is at thè threshhold of another terrlblo Dark Ape, Wells belleves. Civilization ls slowly slnking —thousrh not dyln*. ' It ls eettling back Into tho primitive stage of barter. Currency, thè lise blood of modern civilization, has broken down and ls being replaced by barter In many places In Europe. This. he said, ls thè flrst outward eign of thè breakdown. Wells looks on with alarm at thè ‘‘infantile antles" of Brttleh and other statesmen In face of this sltuation. I.loyd George, he says, is hopplng about thè country like a ‘’brisk little sparrow.’* He believes there Js stili time to stave off this threatened return to thè dark ages. But thè way Is ‘‘palntul.” It consista in putting Into effect labor party poi Idee such as thè capitai levy, obtalning reliof from war debts, dealing with thè exchange of currency problema from an International peint

Wells Is noted for thè amazlng accuracy with which he haa predlcted future events. The United News thereforo asked him to say franklv what he thought of world affairs today and what he sees ahead. This remarkable Interview ls thè result. Civillzaton Fading ‘‘l think I aee thè vital, intricate mechanism of modern civilization fading to pleces,” this famous student of world affairs began. “I see thè organlzed System of Europe sinklng —but not dying. “The oollapse began in Russia in 1917,’’ thè novellst said. “Every year since then thè infeotion has been spreading. Each year new mernbers have been attacked. I see a sort of paralysis graduolly extendlng from thè outer limbs and now at last penetrating to thè very heart of thè Euro pean System.” (To Be Contlnucd)
