THE BRITISH “LINCOLN” OOSIERS adopted Lloyd George Monday. The tremendous welcome in Indianapolis to the great democrat of Great Britain was a natural outburst of recognition to a man whom Hoosiers could well call one of them. Lincoln is a favorite of the distinguished Briton. Perhaps that is explained when Lloyd George said: *1 always was more or less of an American.” For Lincoln, at whose birthplace Lloyd George visited, had no more of a self-made beginning through his hard years of sacrifice and effort than the former premier himself, who was a humble miner in a Welsh coal mine during many years of his youth. To such a man, Americans take off their hat. As Lincoln was the outstanding war President of American history, Lloyd George likewise was th war director of British destinies during the recent war. Hoosiers were proud to receive him. And they are more proud of the fact that he said: “I always was more or less of an American.” A man can’t be a good Hoosier unless he’s a good American. SAID MR. BUSCH TO MR. COOLIDGE A '"’"“I BREWER has appealed to the President to enforce prohibition. The law is being violated so freely and extensively that his legitimate near-beer business cannot thrive, he says. The public won’t buy his product when they expedience so little trouble in getting “real stuff.” “Mr. President,” writes Augustus A. Busch, “we have protested yith all the power that we possess against these wholesale violations of the prohibition lato, because we were convinced from all the evidence that we could gather that these violations were rooted in corruption that was not only enmeshing large parts of the Federal service, but also involving political parties as well. “We were not satisfied to let the matter rest with merely putting the issues up to the Government. We even set aside our pride and appealed to that holy of holies, the Anti-Saloon League. “We asked the Anti-Saloon League whether it was interested in the enforcement of its own pet law. Yes, the league was interested, but only upon the payment of a fee of SSOO for each case. Having exhausted our resources to induce the Government to enforce the law, we at length determined to find out whether the law could be enforced by yielding to the Anti-Saloon League’s importunities for fees to enforce it. We found that where fees were paid in the sum of SSOO for each case, the law could be enforced, but where they were not paid the law was not enforced.” Nor is that all. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., offers to give the President specific information on particular cases. “We shall be very glad, at your request, Mr. President, to have our representative appear before you and present facts in detail.” Busch’s sincerity is not to be doubted. He it was who called attention to the official bootlegging on Uncle Sam’s shipping board vessels. Os course, he thinks the Volstead act is a bad law, and that the way to get rid of it is to enforce it. But right or wrong in this opinion he is entitled to demand that the law be respected. Now let’s see if Mr. Goolidge accepts the “facts in detail,” and, if so, what he does with them. ,

EVE WINS AGAIN! 1923 ISN’T 1900 fpIVE, who has won the ballot, has now achieved recognition | lin business. Mrs. Mary Stubbs Moore, 2253 N. Illinois St., chosen as one of the “ten best business women” in the United States, offers an outstanding example of the fact that Eve possesses tuitiveness in practical affairs of the world as well as in her home. Mrs. should be proud. She was honored signally by one of the leaders of business and professional women, Mrs. Elizabeth Sears, former editor of The Independent Woman. Should Eve assume responsibilities of duties that have been limited to ment Mrs. Moore’s success in managing actively the business of her late husband’s company, the Pittinan-Moore Chemical Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, is only in accord with progress of the age. It was only several generations ago that woman did not have time for participation in affairs of life. She made her own bread; churned the butter; washed the household clothing; canned all the fruit; cared for chickens and cows; kept a vegetable garden; and then in addition had time to keep her “hothouse” pots of flowers in good condition. Modern invention and progress has removed these burdens. Even gas ranges take the place of the stoves that created a need for woodsheds that have brought unpleasant memories to many a Hoosier youth. , Eve has more time these days than since Adam ate that historic apple. Her interest in business, as well as in the ballot box, is only a trend of the times. ' ANOTHER HORROR OF WAR EROF. HARRIS RYAN of Stanford University declares scientists have found a way tb produce voltage capable of projecting an annihilated electrical bolt oyer long distances. Already science can drop tons of annihilating gas upon a city or army camp. In addition, picture Berlin and Paris, for instance, pelting each other with annihilating electrical bolts. Maybe,' finally, the engines of war will kill off war. Most wars are promoted and brought on by non-combatants —diplomats, militarists and profiteers. Very likely, when such cannot escape the poison gas, or electrical bolt, the world will haye something like permanent peace. Love doesn’t seem to inspire the peoples to peace. Maybe fear will do the business. THE buffalo supplants the dove and the olive branch as symbol of “Let us have peace!” At least the Agricultural Department says that three buffaloes have just been given officially to Mexico “as a practical manifestation of good will upon* the resumption of full diplomatic relations a few weeks ago.” L f ONE of ,the chief aims of the United States Chamber of seems to be to discredit public ownership of public ■itilities. And so President Coolidge has appointed President fearnes and Chief Counsel Dawson on a “fact-finding commission” to investigate the Government reclamation service. Great pdea—is it not! It is not.

RICH CHIEF VIOLATORS OF BOOZE LAW Statements That Constitution Is Almost 'Divine' Are 'Awful Rot.’ By HERBERT QUICK HTTI R. LOUIS MARSHALL, at the I IW| I great Citizenship Conference, I J made a splendid plea for good citizenship and drew a strong indictment of the organized attack on the Constitution of the United States by the organized violators of the Eighteenth Amendment. The rich, who are the chief violators of the laws against booze selling and booze buying, are of the class who are always holding up the Constitution for adoration when it serves their selfish purposes. When it comes to hootch, however, their motto is, “What’s the Constitution beWeen friends?*’ anfl between drinks. Mr. Marshall was right in telling these that they can’t have it both ways. If the Constitution is sacred when it protects property, it is said when it prohibits booze. But when he came to his praise of the Constitution itself he said things which were very absurd. It Is such a great instrument, he said, as to be almost divine. Is Awful Rot Now this is awful rot. If It had been divine we should not have had so much trouble with It. The Constitution of the United States was In the beginning a very capably drawn compromise by which twelve of thirteen States were able to agree—for awhile. It kept the states together and permitted them to grow—and that was a fine function. But it was so far from perfect that it had to be amended ten times as soon as Congress could meet under it. Then within three years another blunder was found In It and It had to be amended to keep cllizens of one State from bringing lawsuits against other States and thus bringing about such a state of things as to break up the harmonious development of the country. Within ten years it was found that the machinery for the election of President apd Vice President was perfectly silly, and it had to be amendefl again. Straddled on Slavery Then we got alohg with the plan for sixty years. The “divine” Constitution had to straddle on slavery. It made negroes property but allowed their owners three-fourths of a vote for every one of them. So under this Instrument so fulsemely praised, we had a war which was the greatest civil war ever known, and amended the Constitution to abolish slavery We amended It again in 1868, and again In 1870. And lately we have been amending it every little while. It Is not “divine.” It Is not perfect. It Is Just a good attempt- at giving a growing people a basic law which works most of the time. To call It anything so perfect as did Mr. Marshall Is a dangerous thing It sets up a fetish to worship. The Con--1 stitutlon Is our law, and must be obeyed as it stands. But In this rapidly developing era of change, it will probably have to be amended over and over again, and no doctrine of “divinity” ought to stand between the Constitution and criticism.

"You’re all fight,” said the physician; “you’ve got what is called shirtwaist tongue.” “What’s that?” asked the young man In alarm. “Why. there’s no coat on It.”—Yonkers Statesman. Little Sister’s Ring Marie is a doctor’s daughter, Just past 6. On her last birthday the child’s father gave her a little ring with a tiny pearl In It.

Science Fear, that formerly was thought to be Instinctive, la now* known to be the result of teaching. Many traits of animals, supposed to be Instinct, In reality have to be taught them by their parents or other anlmajs. Young seals have no Intention of going Into the water. They play about their mother, on shore, and gradually she entices them into the water and teacnes them to swim. Darwin said: “Monkeys have an Instinctive or Inherited fear of snakes.” This statement seemed so reasonable that It was never contradicted until recently. Experiments have been conducted,with snakes and monkeys and It was found that young monkeys have no fear of reptiles at all, unless this fear has been taught them by parents, or other monkeys. Horses of the western United States generally are afraid of snakes, but not always. Young colts are not afraid of them untt’ taught they are dangerous. When the offspring of western horses are taken to countries wriere there are few or no poisonous snakes they do not associate snakes with danger, showing that they do not Inherit fear of them.

COURT’S RISE TO POWER IS UNFORESEEN \ -- Controversy Over Authority Finds Abundant Precedents on Both Sides, Lowell Mellett, of this paper's Washington staff, has made an extensive study of the movement to curtail ths power of thj Bupreme Court. Mellett has written a series of articles giving the out-standing incidents in the court's history. This is the third article in the series. By LOWELL MELLETT. SN any controversy of the law there are abundant precedents on both sides To find precedents for the authority now used by the United States Supreme Court to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional, some learned lawyers go farther back than the constitutional convention itself. For example, a defender of the court, will cite the case of Holmes vs. Walton (New Jersey) in 1780, where the Legislature haring provided for a jury of aix, the court refused to ,carry out this provision on the ground that it was unconstitutional and the Legislature •ppeara to have accepted the court’s decislori. On the other hand, those who challenge the court’s authority can present the case of Rutgers vs. Waddington (New York) In 1784, wherein the Judge himself said: "The supremacy of the Legislatures need not be called In question; If they think it fit positively to enact a law there la no power which can control them. When the main object of a law is I dearly expressed and the Intention j Is manifest, the judges are not at lib- | erty, although It appears to them to j be unreasonable, to reject it; for this I were to set the judiciary aheve the ! legislative, which would be subversive i of all government.’’ Cites Old Writer j Charles Warren, former assistant United States attorney general, author I of “The Supreme Court In U. S. His- : tory,’’ In defending the Supreme I Court, finds comfort in a remark of i a writer in a Philadelphia paper in 11788: "Besides, should Congress be 1 disposed to violate the fundamental j articles of the Constitution . . . still it ! would be of no avail, os there is a 1 further barrier Interposed, namely, the Supreme Court of the Union, whose j province It would lie to determine the I constitutionality of any law that may ! be controverted.” I This, Warren takes to Indicate the understanding of the public at the very time the Constitution was being 1 ratified that the Supreme Court would have such power. He and others who agree with him have dug up many such statements to prove their point. Quotations to Contrary But Jackson 11. Ralston, recognized constitutional authority, who has spent some years, investigating the precedents in the matter for the American Federation of Labor, ean counter with many quotations to the I contrary. One, for Instance, from a j letter written by Governor Spalght of: North Carolina In 1787, the year of the constitutional convention, of which ISpalght was a member, ‘met. "It is Immaterial what law they | (the North Carolina Judges) have do- i ' elated void; It Is their usurpation of j the authority to do It that I complain | of, as I do most positively deny they have any such power • • • Besides. It would have been absurd and j contrary to the practice of all the world, hod the constitution vested such powers In them, as they would | have operated as an absolute negative I on the proceedings of the Legislature • • • and the State, Instead of 1 being governed by the representatives In general assembly would be sub-! | Ject to the wIU of three Individuals, j who united In their own persons the • legislative and judlc*arv powers, which j no monarchy In Europe enjoys • j * •” Two Schools of Opinion Much more could be as to what the people of that day thought, and the net result wmld only be that j there were two schools of opinion on | the subject. The truth probably Is | the vast majority was so concerned with fears that great arbitrary powers might be given the executive, making him a sort of king, or the great powers the Legislature might give itself, that not many turned their eyes upon the courts. Danger of this branch of the Government becoming all-powerful certainly was not foreseen by the majority.

.1, ■■ Animal Facts

Out of solid rock In Oklahoma they've taken skeleton of a prehistoric animal that was as big as an adult moutnaln locomotive One tooth. Just placed In National Museum at Washington, Is sixteen inches long. A regular sword of a tooth: yet scientists say this animal used it only to chew grass. Jaguar of South America, half brother of our own Unltd States mountain lion, used to come north as far as Oklahoma, but he never crossed the Mississippi, and naturalists wonder why The Jaguar Is yellow with blaak spots. Our mountain Hon has no spots and when you look him over you think he's a dull red. This is because the tip of each hair Is red; If the barber gave him a light trimming, you’d find him a very beautiful fawn gray. A century ago Ohio had a law requiring every citizen to deliver 100 squirrel scalps a year or pay a fine. Now It takes a law to keep from taking squirrel scalps. Florida manatl Is a fifteen-foot animal weighing about 1,500 pounds, with seal-like head and white-like body, that, lives in water or out along shores of gulf and south Atlantic States. He hustles for the equator when overcoat time starts. A few years ago a herd of them died In the Indian River when a sudden cold wfive hit Florida. They are entirely harmless, don’t even fight In their own families, and eat such breakfast foods as grass and weeds. Proper Hotel clerks notice a change. Pa used to register: “John Blank and wife.” The “proper” registration now Is: “John and Mrs. Blank.” Second choice is: "Mr. and Mrs. John Blank.” An odd change, reflecting, the socalled emancipation of women.

Good Hunting BY BERTON BRALEY (After re-reading Kipling’s Jungle Book) Once more I have threaded the Jun--1 gle through With lithe Bagheera and fat Baloo, And heard wolves talking, ono to another, Old Akela and lean Gray Brother. I have trailed Shere Khan to his evil lair, I have heard his roar on the trembling air, I have stood In the heart of the tangled wild With Man-Cub Mowgll, the jungle child. “Good Hunting! Good, Hunting*’— the Jungle call Still holds me bound In the olden thrall. Oh I have wandered the trails again Through clinging creepers, by ' stream and fen.
