I wlll be glad and rejolce In thee. I will sing praise to thy nan.e, O thou Most Hight.—Psalms 9:2. A New Day for Butler t-nECISION of thè Butler College trustees to purchase XJ FaJrview Park as a future location for thè college is thè first important step toward building Butler into a mnch larger educational institution than it eter has been. The action of thè trustees means that Butler College wlll have a campus of 246 acres in one of thè most beautifully wooded and scenically desirable regions about Indianapolis. *Vhen located in suitabie buildings amid such surroundlngs and provided with thè proposed endowment fund of about a million dollars, Butler College will attract more attentlon from outslde thè city, will receive more generai support than in thè past and is certain to grow more rapidly than at any time during thè flit}’ years’ history of thè college. That this prediction is quite certain ot realization is demonstrated by thè record of colleges and universities in other large cities. Indianapolis has and is destined to have in thè future more of thè facilities requlred for thè seat of~a great university than most cities of thè centrai States. It is possible that thè purchase of Fairview Park for college purposes may ultimately prove to be a most important move in that direction. Plums in thè Subsidy PRESIDENT Harding told Congress in ship'subsidy message that it was costing thè taxpayers of thè United States fifty million dollars to operate its fleet of shlps and that there would not be paid out more than thirty million dollars to private ship operatore il hls ship subsidy bill were made a law. The President did not say what else thè ship operatore would get besides thè thirty-million-dollar subsidy. The President did not say what ship ownere would get thè subsidy and what ship owners would not. The President dtd not say that a ship would earn just as much subsidy whether It carried a pound of cargo or whether it was loaded fulL The President did not say that only ownere of ships running or. regular lines would receive subsidy. The President did not say that thè ships that run on regular lines are those devoted not to commerce but to thè hauling of passengers and mali; ships devoted to thè hauling of goods owned by thè operator of thè ship, such as thè Standard Oil Company s tank line steamere, thè Ùnited Frult Company’s fruit ships, etc. The President did not teli Congress that besides thè thirty million dollars golng out of thè treasury a golden flood would be stopped from flowing into thè treasury by reason of thè fact that these ship owners who enjoy subsidies —but no other American ship owner —could duct from their income taxes their proflts on thè operatlon of thè ships, and In case they were thè owners—as in thè case of thè Standard Oli Company —of the # cargoes of thè ships, that deduction would be thè per cent ot thè estimated freight that they paid themselVes for hauling their oil. The President did not say that Mr. Lasker has expressed thè faith that theße income and tax exemptions to thè favored few American ship owners would probably not exceed a mere ten million dollars a year. The President did not say that if a man bought a ship at Junk price from thè shipping board and sold it at a prosit to be settled under a foreign flag that he would not have to pay income taxea on that prosit ìf only he would buy or build another ship. The President did not say that thè “tramp ship,” which is what Great Brltaln and every other country means by thè expression "merchant marine," wlll net get one penny of subsidy under thè proposed bill and their owners will not get any rebates. drawbaeks, exemptions or other handouts from, through or by thè treàsury. The President did not say that it was proposed to lend one hundred and twenty-flve million dollars to thè preferred class of American ship owners at 2 per cent a year, while business men, farmers, manufacturere and ordtnary folk in generai pay (rom 6 to 10 per cent. If thè President bad told Congress all these things, he would have-told them of a part but not all of thè plums that are tucked away in thè proposed Thanksgiving pudding—if thè 6ubsidy bill is passed on Nov. 29.

Indiana?a Coal INDIANA’S coal lndustry ls being crippled becauße of Uve exlatlng condltlons tbat have been lald plaln durlng thè last two years. In thè si rat place. Indiana has too many coal mines. There are approximately 1,700 small mlnes and 225 major mines'being worked. Second, there are too many minerà At thè present time there are 30,000 unlon minerà and approximately 1.500 non-unlon minerà. Third, there is no outside market for Indiana coal, and fourjh, there ls no demand in ìhis State for Indiana coal. Coal consumerà have thè notion that Indiana coal is of poor grade and they are buying coal shipped In from West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Fifth, mlning companies are going too far down under thè surface to dig coal. A survey of thè coal mlnes of thè State made thls summer by Cairy Littlejohn, State mine inspector, showed that coal ls being mined at depths ranging from 900 feet to 1,500 feet. The fact la there ls plenty of coal but a few hundred few down, and lf thls was mined exclusively coal prices would drop. It does not cost as much to produce this coal closer to thè surface as it does that far under. Until these things are eliminated, coal prices will remain high, there will always be mines closing, minerà out of work and thè supply will be greatly increased. A Question for Legìslators DOBS Indiana need an eugenie law? Shall selected undeslrables be aUowed to perpetuate their weaknesses—insanlty, feeble mlnds and hereditary diseases? These questions are apt to face thè next Legislature, statements recently made by Dr. J. N. Hurty, a new memb'er and for many years secretary of thè State board of health, would seem to indicate. Proponents of eugenica cialm that thè vast majority of our crimes are committed by feeble-minded persona or their descendants. Disease is known to have blighted thè lives of thousands of lnnocent children. >lnsanity is ftlso a herltable weakness that annually costs thè State huge sums, along with its dread kinsman, epilepsy. The human race reached its present perfection through operation of thè law of survival of thè fittest. Then civilization stepped In and checked thè *working of thè System. Becords carefully checked show that 5,000 lescendants of one feeble-minded woman who lived ia Revolutlonary war times have occupied prisons ano insane agylums of thè United States. The history of this fam-

r ily, thè “Juke” or “Kallikak" family, may be read in any good encyclopaedia. Italy w-as once cursed by a strain of mentally subnormal dwarfs, but thè goternment segregated the-blood and it has disappeared. Sooner or Pater Americans will be forced to face similar issues. Wisely enforced segregatìon of our unfortunates is one wav that has been suggested. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Higher Education THE growing demand for education is shown by thè rapid growth in high school attendance in Indianapolis. Nineteen per cent of thè total public school enrollment is represented by high school this year as against only 9 per cent in 1900. During that period thè total number of public school pupils has increased less than 100 per cent, while high school enrollment has increased alrnost 400 per cent. Formerly there was a marked tendency on thè part of many toì sneer at any education beyond a rudimentary knowledge of thè "three Rs.” Fortunately that idea has become extinct and thè generai public is realizing more and more thè trae value of education. Educational ideala have risen greatly In recent years and thè modera theory that every member of society should receive as broad an education as possible no longer tneets with serious opposition.

Lettera to thè Editor^

KIND WORDS VS. WHIPPING To thè Editor of thè Times: I am a girl of 19—only a chlld myself—but I have no mother; my mother dled. I have a good father and I have a sister 12 years old, one 9 and a brother 15. I keep house for father and take care of thè children. Whenever they do wrong, I teli father, and he talks to them and tells them what is right and what is wrong. I have never known my father to whlp thè children. If parente talk to children in thè right wav, they will flnd it does them more good than a whlppiDg, which will only make them afraid of their parents and cause them to hate them, also. The children and I think we have thè best and dcarest father in thè world, and I have thè sweetest little sisters and brother I hope some parents will try kind words and not whipping. They will have better and obedient children. MISS MARGARET M’GOVERN. THINKS ROD SPARED TOO MUCH To thè Editor of thè Times: Judging from thè ristng generation of todav, one would conclude that most parenis had taken a stand with Mrs. R. C. T. Perkins in regard to thè puntshraent of children. Had thè rod not been spared quite so much, there would be less use for thè detentlon homes and such instltntlons. While I do not belleve in bruta! punishment —and no sensible parent is golng to adminlster such — I do belleve. and I have seen it proven In many cases, that in order to have obedient children and children that reverence their parents aster they are grown up, they must he chastised. I have in mind children that were petted and humored all their llves. The trouble with so many parents of today is that they only punish when they get angry, and then out of reason. All brutal punishment is wrong. The Apostle Paul says, ‘‘Proper chastening yields its peaceable fniits of righteousness." It will not. cause children to Ile, if dono in thè proper splrlt, and there is not nearlv so much danger of tnjuring thè child’s Ijealth by punishment as letting them go until both health and charaeter are injured. Mrs. Perkins speaks of a time when men had a right to beat their wives. I do not, could not, approvo of that, but I have seen some wives I do belleve would have been greatly benefited had they had a few genti© taps. MRS. W. B. SCHREIBER.

LIQUOR AS PARAMOUNTISSUE ' IN 1924 WORRIES PARTY LEADERS

By Times Spedai WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Party managers and most members of Congress are intensely unhappy these days over thè prospect of thè 1924 campaign having liquor as its "pai-a----mount issue.” The statement attributed to President Harding that thè recent electlon resulta probably would result in a “slight liberalization” of thè Volstead aet has been accepted by thè wets, not as a crumb, but as a big chunk of comfort to their side, and they are siarting out this week to work for a wet plank in either or both of thè natlonal party platforms.

BEULAH WALTON By HARRY 7FU NT XKA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—A bluegrass beauty from “Ol’ Kalntuok," Miss Beulah Walton of Lexington, Ky., has set her heart or, belng thè flrst woman to pilot a plano, alono and unattended, in a coast-to-coast flight. Frisco to Washington, via Reno, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago and Dayton Is thè route choeen by thè young aviatrix. She pian c.n making tho trip in one week by easy flying stnges. She wlll be her own pilot and mechanlclan. Miss Walton’s fl-rst tasta of air adventure was in Franca when she was an entertainer with thè A. E. F. Later she learned to handle a plano herself and hus taken many friends “up In thè air.” This trip, however, sho proposes to go it alone—Just to show Macßeady, Kelly and other men that a transcontir.ental femmine flight is more than a mero flight of fancy.

Lodge May Be Titular G. O. P. Leader, But Is Not Bronco Buster

By Timrx Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—1 f Congress does anything toward shaping thè future of American politica, there appears to be a greater prospect of thè Republican party becoming thè liberal party than of thè Democratic party holding Its theoretlcal posltion as thè party of thè plaln people. The difference will be in leadership. Lodge may be thè titillar Republican leader, but he isn’t a broncho buster and he won’t be able to lead La Folletto, Brookhart, Frazier, Ladd and other progressive nomlnally known as Republicans. Borah is apt to become more progressive, and Johnson w r ill probably return to thè progressive fold.

Meanwhile,. they will push, in Congress, their fight to amend thè Volstead act to permit light wines and beer. For thè present, they'll be satisfled with anything they can get—--2.76 per cent beer would fili them with Joy—politically speaking at least. Democratlo leaders hope that they might be able to carry li 1924 such Eastem States as New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Massachusetts on wet planks, but they might lose in some of thè Western States.' Likewise,' Republican leaders, at this time, look upon thè liquor Issue as a red-hot iron.

Q. —What is meant by Audio Froquency and Radio Frequency? A.—Alternating currentn are gensrated at various frequencles, covering a remarkably large rango. Depending on their application, thè frequencies in practical use fall into tliroe classes: (a) Commercial frequencles, which nowadays generally mean twenty Ave or sixty cycles per second. (b) Audio frequencles, which , are usuali}- around 600 to 1,000 cycles ; per second but may extend as high ; as 10,000 cycles per second.

They are too rapid to cause a sound in a telephone which can be heard by thè human ear, which does not respond to sound waves forty or above 10,000 vibratlons a second. As sound is transmitted from thè broadcasting stations at radio frequency they must be redueed to audible or audio frequencles so that they can be heard. This ls performed by thè de-

There is more progressive material, ir. a constructive way, on thè Republican than on thè Democratic side of thè Senate. Merely obstructive leadership won’t get thè Democratic party anywhere. If it merely marks time while there is progressive leadership on thè Republican side, thè progressive under thè leadership of La Toilette, may drive Special Privilege, Big Business and all reaction into thè Democratic party in self-defense. If thè tight for thè progressive prò gram is led by Republicans réal Demo cratic progressive will follow thè Republican lead.

That a “no quarter flght” is ahead is clearly indicated by vigorous staterò ents put out from wet and dry headquarters here. “Hereafter," says W. H.

Labor Prèsents Solid Ranks to Nailon s Voters By Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. —Consider labor in thè new politicai movement. Heretofore politicians have looked upon thè so-called ‘Labor Vote’ as a Joke. They were right. There was no such animai. Workers were all split up as Democrats, Republicans and Socialista. For religious and other reasons there could be no politicai solidarity of thè working class in thè Socialist party. So that party got nowhere. The drive of thè “Open Shop" or “American Pian” employes since thè war to break up thè unions, began to develop a labor solidarity that dldn’t exlst before. When thè banker group in control of thè railroads started their open-shop campaign against thè railway unions other than' thè four brotherhoods, they not only forced solidarity of thè railway workers by driving thè brotherhoods to support of thè other railway unions, but they drove practically all of thè railway unions in a body into politics. Their leaders were an important part of thè group that organized thè “Conference for Progressive Politicai Action.” No other influence contributed more to thè defeat of Pomerene in Ohio; and they got in . their work in Indiana, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and many other States in thè last election.
