For though we walk In thè fiesh, we do not war aster thè fleah. Il Corlnthlana 10:3. Lese Majeste af City Hall rw-tHIS week thè Indianapolis city hall is proving a I bang-up Bouree of news. Mayor Shank has been givlng folks a demonstration of being mayor of Indianapolis. He has caused another member of thè board of public safety to resign—thè second forced resignation from that body wlthin recent weeks. Thd explanation of thè ousting of Edward G. Sourbler appears to be that Shank had begun to feel that some of hls officiai family members were forgetting that Shank was mayor. Bourbier, as a member ot thè board of safety, made demanda upon thè police that they investigate an alalleged Improper dance that was staged by two unclad women for thè entertainment of a company of banquetérs. He made thè demanda so insistently that publicity was given to thè story of thè dance and thè police lnactivity in thè matter. Then Mayor Shank went into action, demanded that Sourbier resign, mentioned th© klnd of oil Sourbier wanted thè city to buy for municipal-owned motor vehicles and sai(f there must be no more gossip in city departments. Sourbier has indicated that he is glad to be off thè board of safety. Shank is glad to have hlm out In thè warm autunni daya thè pigeons atop thè city hall have renewed thelr springtime love-making. And Shank is mayor of Indianapolis. When Divorce Is Easy MRS. ROBERT THOMAS, mother of nine children. was this week granted a divorce from Robert In thè Marion County Supérior Court. The husband testifled that his wife had alwayß made a good wife and had worked hard. Other testlmony showed that Thomaa had made a pretty fair husband, as far as a laborer drawing S2O per week could. He had paid $2,500 on thelr home in elght years, and kept up his lise Insurance. Evldence 6howed that thè father objected to a daughter "keeplng company*’ until she was 16; that thè husband and wife had gone to church twice in thelr twenty-two years of married lise. and that Robert took a drink now and then, thè last occasion, he asserted, being upoif thè birth of thè ninth child, whether in celebration or otherwise not stated. Not having any other place to go, they hav© resided together slnce thè divojce suit was flled last summer. They are no better off now. What a plty that people should thus ruln their lives aster so long. Divorces are too easy to get in Indiana.

Education in Eugenics THE Young YTomen’s Christian Association of Indlanapoli, by brlnging bere Dr. Thurman B. Rice, an authority, to dellver a 6erles of talks on "Eugenics," is proving its desire to take a definite and practlcal step in behalf of thè betterment of society. An opportunity is being given Indianapolis people to learn what “Eugenics” means, what thè plans of thè eugenicists are, what reforms they propose and lite matters, which for years to many people have been an “unknown quantfty." Dr. Rice stands for thè adoption of uniform mar riage and divorce laws; for preventing th© reproduction of children by thè feeble-minded, insane, enlleptic and otherwise dlseased persona. In thè first of hls series of three lectures he polnted out that it is this class which is largely npholding thè birth rate in America, and that thè average number of children among thè intelllgent, self-supporting famllies is far below that which it Is estlmated is necessary to balance thè death rate. Such a condition, lf it goes on unchecked, portends national disaster. This locai organizatlon deserves thè support of cltizens of Indianapolis in its laudable undertaking in thè lnterests of social betterment. Our O. K. on Rubes A Chicago wlt recently said that thè surrender of a seat to a woman on a Street car was thè unmlstakable sign of a Rube. The poor Rube is guilty of a great many offenses. The f of chivalry has passed. Modernism has given thè “weaker sex’’ many privileges with which thè Rube is continually interfering. For example, thè heretofore excluslve rlght of str&p h&nging has been given thè women. The Rube respeets other people’s feelings and rights. He remembers that thè fi&pper la, aster all, laminine, and that thè business woman may have latent withln her thè instlnct of a mother. The Rube, rememberlng tbese thlngs, may show hls lack of city breeding by being of asslstance to them in his inoffensive but rustie manner. He may assist an old lady off or on thè car. It is even posslble that he may overstep urban etiquette by doing thè same for an old man. The unfortunate Rube ls thè man who will not butt into pedestrlans on thè sidewalk, and who t&kes his tura at thè lunch counter. It ls he who picks up a fallen article for a woman. Poor Rube, it is horrifying to think that he might shock polite society by remembering that smoke at first hand is a pleasure, but second hand an abominatlon. The Rube aigain shows his lack of city training by hls notable absence from Street corners where thè reai city beaux congregate to review thè "Passing Show.” Vive le Rube. Our Antiquated Government AMERICAN cltizens have volced decisively their disapprovai of Harding pollcles at Washington by votlng Independent progressives into thè balance of power in both houses of Congress. Yet, thlrteen months may pass before thè people’s will can become effective. Under thè most favorable circumstances thè new Congresa can not assembla for four months, and then only by thè arbltrary consent of thè Presldent, whose pollcles have been repudiated at thè polis. Meanwhile, Presldent Harding has summoned thè old Congress back a gain. It is a repudiated Legislature agalnst whom thè people have cast a vote of lacklng confldence. Nevertheless, this Congress may work Its pleasure on thè Natlon. It will attempt to pass thè ship subsidy bill, one of thè pet measures of thè Harding crowd. It can use its large reactionary majority to defy thè people, and thè people have no redress. Two years ago thè voters of thè country repudiated a Democratic admlnistratlon, and placed thè Republicans in power. What happened? Why, thè usuai Ave months’ delay before thè newly chosen government could oegin to functlon. Such a method of government is a parody of democracv. The plain truth is that thè American Constltutlon no longer is an adequate instrument of goverament for a modera democracv. it should be re-

vised by a convention called for that purpose and then submltted to thè States for thelr approvai. Not thè least important revision ought to previde for thè expiration of Congress automatically upon thè election of its successor. The long time interrai is a relic of thè distant past when there were no railways.

Letters to thè Editor

LEW SHANK’S TALK. To thè Editor of thè Times: Our mayor, Lew Shank, was nominated and elected by a landslide of thè independent labor vote, but today he could not be elected as keeper of a comfort station. If he is dreamlng of becoming Governor he had just as well wake up and realize that “them days are gone forever.” Do you wonder why? It is because “silence and action” are thè best words a politician can look at. When they speak they should have judgment to say something in favor of thè great masses of people and their acts should always be favorable to thè whole people, regardless of “high brows” and wealth. Forgetting his own great victory now aster thè great Democratic victory Lew has spoken and he says: “Maybe Beveridge’s stand on thè labor question hurt him a little, but not much, because 90 per cent of thè labor vote ordinarily goes to thè Democrats." I would like to ask Lew if this ls trae, why is it? Why does only 10 per cent of labor indorse Republlcan princlples? There must be something wrong with Republlcan principles when such a small per cent of honest labor cannot indorse it, and why does Lew, aster being nominated and elected by this large labor vote, now tura his back to them, and stand up for thè “high brows?” Again Lew says something will have to be done to bring thè people to senses, to keep them from leaving thè Republlcan party. He says: "It looks to me like we’re just going to have a right good panie to bring thè people to their senses. Looks like they*ve elected a Democratic Congress. They'll probablv knock out this tarlff law and then they'll elect a Democratic President and then therell be a panie. We’ll just repeat what happened In thè Grover Cleveland admlnistratlon, lt looks to me.’’ But listen, Lew, there ls apt to be a panie with “yellow jackets” in cleaning up a pile of rotten apples to get out thè good ones and make thlngs nomai again and a panie is apt to follow a rotten Repubìican aflminlstration.

You are always harping about thè Cleveland panie, but riever say anything about thè panie of 1873 and thè panie during thè Roosevelt admlnistratlon. Panica have followed high protective tariff laws. You know that thè Democrats were in power eight years during thè Wilson admlnistratlon ahd there wan no panie during all that time, but it was a reai period of good prosperlty which I believe thè people would like to enjoy again as it was before thè war carne on. But Lew ls wrong about thè cause of thè last victory. It was not caused by thè friends of Mr. New. The majority of thè Republlcan party wanted Beveridge when they nominated him. If you had nominated New we would have given him thè sanie licking we gave to Beveridge. You lost because you didn’t have thè votes. The new generation growing are independent voters. They don't vote like us old stand-patters that “vote like pap did." That day has passed forever. J. WILSON WIIITE. Permit Usto Say A loose screw on thè door is worth two In thè liead.

| School Fight in . Oregon Will Go to Federai Courts by United New PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. li.—The antl-parochial . school measure, aster being approved by a plurality of 15,000 voters at thè polis Tuesday, will be fought out in State and Federai Courts in an attempt to have it declared unconstitutional. Dudley G. Wooten, executive secretary of thè Cathollc Clvlc Rights Association of Oregon, declared Friday that Catholics of thè State relled upon thè courts to nullify thè measure long before lt becomes effective in 1926. “Of course thè bill is unconstttutional under both State and Federai laws, and a proper procedure in thè courts will so declare it,” Wooten said. Blanies Ku-Klux Wooten blamed thè Ku-Klux Klan for “stirring up a hotbed of rellglous prejudice and bigotry which thè saner niinded people of thè State could not check before thè damage was done at thè polis.” Wooten's statement was thè first otflclally fortheoming from elther side in thè battle over thè antl-parochial school bill since thè election. Walter M.lPlerce, Governor-elect, championed thè bill during hi campalgn against Governor Ben W. Olcott, who opposed it, and won by 35,000, so thè next administration’s attìtude on thè new law is apparent. Opinlons dlffer as to whether Pferce won because of hls . support of tho bill, or whether thè bill won by virtue of thè Pierce landslide.

Drys Will flave Margin of Votes in Next Congress By Time Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—1 n thè next Congress, thè drys will have thè votes, but thè wets will have a dist:nct “psychological” advantage. * The enormous number of polled by wets in such Statc-s as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri has encouraged them to believe that if thelr money doèsn’t run out and they keep fightlng long enough they’ll eventual’.v be able to put something more than . foam in a glass of beer. They figure that fewer members of thè next Congress will stand in awe of thè power of thè Anti Saloon League of America. The wets, in perfecting “The Association Against thè Prohibition Amendment” along practically thè same lines as thè AntiSaloon League, are now able to offer congresstonal candidates thè same kind of inducements to vote wet that thè Antl-Saloon League has offered them to vote dry. It has been common knowledge that a very lorge number of dry votes in Congress have been cast by men whose convictions were wet. In thelr home dlstricts, aster State and nationwide prohibition became effective, thè old w r et organizations became impotent and thè Arti-Saloon League became all powerful as a politicai factor. Wets are already claiming they’ll have enough votes in thè next Congress to force a modification of thè Volstead act. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You know that it is better to be toc conservatively dressed than to overdressed at any social functlon. 1™ you are in doubt as to what to wear it Is safest to select thè plainer dress. That is. if you are in doubt as to whether to wear evening or dlnner clothes, thè dinner dress is thè wlser choice. On thè Street never wear exaggerated clothes. Avoid too much jewelry and bizarre effeets that make ycu consplcuous. Of Gold Lace A dance frock that is unusually lovely is ot sheer gold lace,. made over a foundation of gold cloth, which introduces gay colors with streamers of chiffon hung from ruched rosettes that mark thè waistllne. , thè pillare of our falth is closer and better and friendlier relations wdth America.” The three mlnutes w r ere up.
