SENDING r | nHE auto driver who persists in making a SPEEDER I speedway of Indianapolis streets better TO JAIL watch his step or City Judge Delbert 0. Wilmeth will sting him. The judge says hereafter all speeders who are Convicted a second time are going to jail. Under anew State law a second speeding offense carries such a penalty. One driver who was “hitting ’er” at forty miles an hour and another who was going thirty-five are the first to feel the blow. The judge said “thirty days” to both alleged offenders. Thirty days! No breakfast at home for a month. No friendly association with one's neighbors. No opportunity to do an honest day’s work for a month. No evening meal at home for a fticnth. No nice, comfortable bed at home for a month. The list of denials could be lengthened through this column. Does speeding pay? Os course not, but fools will continue to drive too rapidly through the city streets. Many will not be arrested because police will not be in sight. Such speed fiends become bolder and bolder. They continue to take chances. In the end they may be killed in an accident or they may crush the life of a pedestrian. So a stretch in jail really would be a blessing for these misguided drivers. It would cause them to see the light.

Do you know these things are occurring despite a stringent city ordinance regulating the sale and possession of firearms? Chances are few citizens even know there are firearm laws other than the statute forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons. * In 1918 an ordinance was passed forbidding the display of deadly weapons in show windows. The following year the ordinance was amended to provide that no person could buy or possess a deadly weapon without a permit from the police department. Persons possessing such weapons were supposed to notify the police of that fact. Few did. The promiscuous sale of pistols is responsible for many tragedies. The police department should get busy and enforce the ordinance against sale of firearms to irresponsibte persons. A general round-up of firearms now in the hands of persons who do not possess police permits and who do not have good reason to possess them might be a wholesome influence.* Let householders have rifles and sawed-off shotguns for their own protection. They can not be concealed and carried through the streets by criminals. No person who has a legitimate use for firearms for protection need be alarmed if the ordinance is enforced. KEEP .

The proud citizen says—and not without justification—that no city in Americapossesses lovelier parks than Indianapolis. To keep the parks clean and attractive is a civic duty, Only persons compelled to live in a city without parks are in position fully to realize the wonderful blessings these improvements really are to those enabled to enjoy them. The city park is a bit of the glorious out-of-doors set down in or close to the crass environment of brick, stone, steel and glaring streets. To the parks go thousands 4hese sultry days. There are old people and young people; there are nurses and mothers with their babies; tired workingmen—in fact, humans in all walks of life take advantage of rhe opportunity that is theirs for the asking. We have heard no complaint from the park department that persons who go tc the out-of-doors are littering the grass carpet with paper bags and refuse of foot!. That is, indeed, a good sign. It is everybody’s duty to keep the parks clean.

Kings' Supporters Work for Restoration of Thrones —European Monarchists, However, Accept Defeat for Time Being, By CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 25.—N0 one occupation in the world has suffered more from post-war conditions than the profession of kingship. Yet now, in some quarters, it’s showing promise of a comeback. • The activity of French monarchists has been the topic of

discussion —yes, and of an outbreak of physical violence—in the Chamber of Deputies lately. In Hungary, Admiral Horthy claims no more than the title of regent, presumably pending the coming of age of Prince Otto, son of the late Charles, who lost the dual throne of EmperorKing of Austria-Hungary when the central powers went down to defeat. Plot in China Bulgaria has remained a monarchy, but it is generally understood that the revolution which overthrew Premier Stambulisky and put Prof. Zankof in his place was engineered by King Boris, to get some power to go with his position. There’s been Bourbon talk in France for years, but up to the last few weeks It has been limited to a small group of fanatics. Now, through adoption by the so-called “camelots du roi” of Fascist methods and open attacks on leading radicals, it is learned that Louis Philip Robert, Duke D’Orleans, an exile in Belgium, thinks of making a serious bid, as-King Philip VIII, for the throne of his ancestors. In Germany the “boring from within” of royalists like Ludendorf, is no secret. If not the ex-Kaiser or the crown prince, then the enthronement of one of the latter’s younger brothers, is their Idea. Plans for restoration of Prince Rupprecht in Bavaria is an even stronger movement. Will Boris Govern? The Hungarians never have pretended even that they wer> contented without a king. Beaten, they simply have accepted the inevitable—for the time being. Otto will not be eligible until he is 18, and he has ten years to wait. Then—it remains to be seen what will happen. In 1912 the then baby emperor of China “resigned political power" and Tuan Shi Kai became president, but It was specified that "the imperial title is not abolished.” The emperor —he still retains the title—is 17 now. An attempt was made in 1917 to put him actually on the throne. It was suppressed quickly. Now, It is said another conspiracy is hatching. The Republican government is weaker than it was then.

Pagan Moments By BERTON BRALEY We tend to our dally duty, We quietly plod along With scarcely an eye for beauty And hardly a thought for song; To the work of the world we’re turning, According to scheme and plan, But now and again we’re yearning To follow the Pipes o’ Pan. We toil with our humdrum neighbor In clamor and grit and grime, For progress is wrought by labor Which builds us our dreams in time; But let us not be so rooted To toil that’s the lot of man. That we cannot at times, light-footed, Perform to the Pipes o’ Pan. Though the bonds of our job enmesh us ' As we seek our various goals, At seasons we must refresh us With laughter that helps our souls; win to fulfillment better, And live as a happier clan, If we shatter, at times, each fetter, And follow the Pipes o’ Pan’ (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MILITARISM IN JAPAN IS DEALT BLOW Waseda University Students Break Up Society Formed by Army Clique, BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. WASHINGTON, June 25.—Maybe we’re not going to be forced into a war with Japan, after all. To the tune of bloody noses and broken heads, students of Japan’s biggest university have just dealt militarism in that country a mighty significant blow. The trouble was at Waseda university, Tokio, founded by the great Marquis Okuma. With nearly 10,000 students pn Its rolls, It is considerably bigger than the five imperial-tiniversi-ties of Japan all put together. Some time ago the Japanese military clique laid careful plans to break into the great universities. They wanted to catch ’em young. The scheme was to form “Military Study Societies” to get students interested in the army and navy and, from time to time, have military men address them on what a fine old institution war is On the day the society was to be formally launched at Waseda with the sanction of Dr. Takada. the prexy, many notables from the army and navy were Invited to speak. General Shirakawa, vice minister of war: Generals Nakashima and Ishimltsu, imperial guard commanders, Admiral Furukawa, from the navy offiec, and Admiral Tsuneda of the naval general staff were among those listed. The trouble started the moment the officials alighted from the war office' automobiles. “Down ' with Mil itarism!" was on the banner which greeted, them at the entrance t-o the university. “Behold the human butchers!” somebody yelled as the officers filed in. Dr. Takada,, president of the university, who had been fidgeting in his seat for some time, finally sprang up, his face crimson with rage. Unheeding the constant interruptions which even he could not prevent, he Introduced the vice minister- of war. “Blood is dripping from the very decorations he wears,” someone shouted as the vice minister came forward to read an address from the minister of war himself. "Thousands die to raise one hero to fame,” sang another. Heckled, their voices drowned by the students’ singing, the speakers had to quit and the meeting broke up In confusion. It was -no go. The militarist could not make It stick. Dr. Takada stayed but the society was dissolved.

Anatomist Declares Blood of Purest Races Will Survive

BY MAURICE HENLE, •V EA Service Writer CLEVELAND, Ohio. June 25. —The time may come when nations will beat their guns into plowshares and their swords into pruning hooks. Peace may settle over the world. But that Utopian condition, that spirit of brotherhood of man, will not come from a disappearance of racial lines. There can be no such thing as a world melting pot. Strong bloods will remain distinct, just as they are distinct today. Intermingling among certain peoples may cause a breakdown of racial dis Unctions. But the purest races will not lose their identity. This was drawn from an interview with one of science’s most devoted servants, Dr. T. WTngate Todd, anatomist, of Western Reserve University, here. "Consider three different peoples: The Egyptians, the whites or Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic, and the negro. These three, totally different racially, are alike to the extent of not absorbing alien blood.

STREET CAR COMPANIES SING SONG OF COURTESY

Change Time From Old-Time Policy of "Take It or Leave It," [This Is the sixth article by C. A. Randan of The Time* Washington Bnrcan on “What’s the Matter With the Street Cars?”J By C. A. RANDAU. IN times past It was the policy of car companies to mutter “take It or leave it.” The tune most popular at present Is “at your service” and the words of the song are chiefly confined to “thank you” and “please.” Conductors are being Inculcated with the “sweetness of courtesy,” as one company calls it in a little lecture on etiquette which runs, in part: _ “Courtesy is pleasant; pleasant to those with whom we corne in contact. It is one of/the principal ingredients of happiness, and happiness is the most-to-be-desired reward of life.” What they really mean Is “Don’t make people mad, for then they may ride In busses.” Though the total number of people carried on bus and jitney lines is at most 5 per cent of street car traffic, the loss to the trolley companies represents loss of pure cream. It wouldn’t cost them much more to haul the remaining 5 per cent, and in their desire to keep the proportion of bus riders low they have turned toward politeness. “The pass system has gre>atly increased the once very fashionable pastime of street car riding,’’ says F. R. Smalley, traffic manager of the San Diego lines. “We know that many persons now ride the street cars who did not formerly. It adds a little rush to our work at the peak hours, but In slack hours the cars must run on schedule anyway, and the additional business at all times Is a real pleasure for us to handle. Still another method of boosting business is that of painting cars at-

us praise God from whom all blessings flow that our country had sense enough not to froth at the mouth and go out to save them with troops and to “civilize with a Krag” the countless millions of the Chinese. The moral is: Stay out of China. If you go, you take your chance. The talk of the Government, that we must have guaranties from the Pekin government against this happening again. Is pure nonsense. Stable government in China has broken down. Banditry is merely the breakdown of discipline of soldiers who have not been paid and aj-e starving. The Pekin government can make no promises against such occurrences which will be worth the paper on which they are written. This Government should tell Americans contemplating travel in China they go there at their own risk. And, incidentally, let one who has travelled a little in the Far East state that this business of sending out punitive or rescue expeditions doesn’t seem to make the traveler of the nationality practicing it any safer. It’s pretty near time to re-examine this whole matter of using the mailed fist when people get into trouble in foreign lands. Where the government of the foreign land is doing the best it can, that would seem to be all we have the right to ask—even if it isn’t much.

COCA COLA HEAD PICKS YOUNG MEN Accomplishment More important Than Salary, Woodruff Says, By EDWARD THIERRY, NEA Service Staff Writer ATLANTA, Ga., June 25.—1s any man under 35 worth a salary In six figures? "No!” say economists, quoting statistics. “Yes!” says Robert W. Woodruff. "Plenty of big Jobs are waiting for the right men—the younger the better. But the salary isn’t the main thing, for accomplishment itself Is more important than money.” Woodruff refuses to give away his own salary secret, but he is. generally given credit for having proved that a man doesn’t have to wait till he’s gray-headed to land a big executive Job. He’s 33 and he has just been elected president of the Coca-Cola Company, a $50,000,000 corporation. He Is also vice president of the White Company, Cleveland motor truck manufacturers. Within a dozen years Woodruff has become one of the biggest industrial leads in the South. His father, Ernest Woodruff, banker, financier and manufacturer, predicted disaster when the son turned down a family-picked Job and went out on his own. “There’s no magic password,” says Woodruff. "The young man has a better chance at the big jobs than the older man because he has a smaller rut to climb out of. If he learns how to handle men, he can fill any kind of a job in any kind of Industry'.” Associates say Woodruff Is a 100 per cent picker of men. He has this unique system: He hires a man without having a definite Job for him. and then lets him find his own way; if he doesn’t fit himself into the right niche, Woodruff doesn’t want him. "You don’t have to blow your own horn," he says. “Ability shows, even If the words are a bromide.”

What Editors Are Saying Jobs CFrankfort Crescent News) According to Indianapolis and Chi-, cago reports several thousand young men have poured into the cities from the rural districts and small towns and cities since the close of school. In most cases these young men are either high school or college graduates seeking jobs in the city where they think the road to fortune starts. Many of them, after traveling from employment office to employment office, are being disillusioned and are seeking most any kind of a-job. A number of welfare workers have been called upon to aid young people who have become stranded. There is no disguising the fact that the country is being stripped of its young people. Few are the mothers whose daughters have graduated from the high school or college, that would be willing those daughters should become farmers’ wives; and this is true even though they be the daughters of farmers. And a business or professional career has a much more alluring prospect for the average young man who graduates from the high schools and colleges than the farm. From whence shall come our farmers and farmers’ wives if these ideas are extended during the next ten years as far and as general as they have been in the past ten years?

Gifts (Kokomo Dispatch) Elwood Haynes, whose name and fame has meant so much to Kokomo, has done one more great unselfish act that will ingratiate him more than ever with his fellow who without distinction, love and respect him, not alone for his success and wonderful achievement, but for the love, interest and consideration he has shown at all times and under all circumstances for those among whom he lives. \ That Elwood Haynes would give liberally to the new hospital no one doubted. He has not failed at any time to respond to the many demands made upon him by his home city, but few had any idea that Mr. Haynes with Mrs. Haynes would make the big generous gift of $25,000 to the new hospital fund, announced by the committee at noon Tuesday. The gift itself is extraordinary. There are no strings to it, no conditions, no memorials. It is simply the contribution of a man and wife who love their fellows and do the practical, inspiring thing of backing convictions with money. They do not shift responsibility. They do not dodge the issue and give reasons why the job should be done some other way. They come to the front with money and lead the way for others to do likewise. -!- -I- -jMcCray (Brazil Times-News) Coal operators are going to pay ths

She beat the Turks, but then she had to beat the Tripolitans. This she never thoroughly accomplished. She was Just beginning to make some headway when the world war broke out and her attention was distracted to Europe. The newspapers were too much occupied with more important matters to notice it at the time, but the Tripolitans revolted all over again. Peace having been restored in Europe, the Italians found they’d got to make a complete new start In Tripoli. The newspapers don’t entirely Jg-a nore it. but it’s a long way off an* such fighting doesn’t seem important in comparison with what was going on from the autumn of 1914 until the armistice was signed. Every week or so you see an inconspicuously placed paragraph telling of from 200 or 300 up to maybe 1.000 casualties in an encounter between the Italians and the Tripolitans. The last such mention was May 8, when It was recorded that 200 rebels had been killed by Italian troops In the Tripolitan desert. It’s always that way. So many Tripolitans killed. No reference to Italians. The Italian censor sees to that. But It’s safe to assume that the losses Aren’t Invariably on only one side.

SIX MILLION ILLITERATES LIVE IN U. S. By Timet Speoial WASHINGTON, June 25.—Almost six million persons in the United States have to sign their names with a cross. They can’t ■write.
