GOV. M’CRAY’S VICTORY rpT OVERNOR M ’CRAY has won a complete victory over the IO Republican State committee and Clyde A. Walb, State chairman. That is the only way the committee’s resolution concerning its attitude toward the Governor can be construed. Walb demanded in language that could not be mistaken the immediate resignation of the Governor. Then he asked for support of the State committee, intimating that if lie did not receive an indorsement of his attitude he would resign. The committee did not indorse his statement —he did not resign. The statement itself means little. It declares if the Governor is convicted in any court of justice he should resign. The Constitution of Indiana provides that a person convicted of a felony is incapable of holding public office. The charges against the Governor, if proved, constitute felonies. It would not be necessary for the Governor to resign in case of conviction. The law takes care of that. IT MAKES FOLKS THINK “f\Y/j HAT is the significance of this row in the churches be- ** tween the so-called fundamentalists and the modernists?” asks a reader of The Times. “Does it mean the collapse of the church, or what?” The writer doesn’t pretend to be an expert on theological questions, but: First, the controversy does not presage the collapse or injury of any kind to the church. In the 1900 years since the Apostolic fathers organized the Christian church, it has been rent and torn and shattered by infinitely worse storms than the one now raging and has always come back stronger than ever. By the church is meant, of course, that uncountable body of men and women who are trying to somehow chart the courses of their lives by what they conceive to be the teachings of the Carpenter of Galilee. And that body is. of course, far greater today than ever before in human history and more influential in the world. You may believe in the Virgin birth, or not, in the Trinity or not, in a literal hell or heaven, or neither, cr both; in the second coming of Christ, or not; in the literal inspiration of the Scriptures, or not; in the Apostolic-succession, or not; in the angelic host, or not; in transubstantiation. or not. You may believe in the so-called Divinity of Christ, or not. But if you are trying to live in accordance with Christ’s teachings and are sorry when you have failed, you belong to the church and that church is bigger and stronger and mightier today than ever before and is so because He lived and loved men and tried to help folks live better 1900 years ago on the shores' of Galilee, and that’s about all there is to it. The best thing about this churchmen’s quarrel is that it makes people think for themselves. And that’s better than letting the churchmen do it all for them and deliver faith and religion in predigested capsules.

TEXSHUN! PUBLIC UTILITIES! SHE Indiana Bell Telephone Company and the Indianapolis Water Company should look to the Citizens’ Gas Company for an example in the conduct of public utilities. The management of the gas company was changed some time ago. It recently was announced the company expects to pay dividends on common stock this year. Now, Clarence L. Kirk, manager, says the company is willing to cut rates to industrial consumers and that this rate cut, in all jfrobability will be followed by a cut to domestic consumers. The city is asking that the cut to domestic consumers come first. Undoubtedly, this can be accomplished. All of which goes to show it can be done. ARE WE SPEED CRAZY ? A | RE we really speed crazy ? We’re accused often enough, and most of us believe it. But just go into the downtown district of Indianapolis and watch the pedestrians, especially those who amble along on the wrong side of the walk, balling up traffic. Watch them in the busy hours—and you begin to revise your notions about speed mania. Occasionally one of the pedestrians hustles so fast he almost knocks his neighbors down. But this speeder is exhibiting a spurt of speed, not a chronic condition. He’s hustling to get to the bank before it closes—or hurrying to some other destination because he loafed too long previously and got started late. People, when on their feet, are as slow as they were in grandpa’s day—probably slower. That’s because movement on foot requires expenditure of personal effort. When the average person gets into an auto he wants to speed. And that’s because movement by auto doesn’t require much effort. If it were as much work as walking, most autos would rarely exceed five miles an hour. The efficiency experts in many cases have rigged up systems so people have to work at a certain speed or get buried under oncoming streams of lumber, packages or machinery in process of assembly. But most of us are rarely anxious to speed up except when there is no real need of speed. We hurry our eating and fret ourselves into nervous impatience because we are held back by the element of time in reaching amusements or destinations and events that excite our curiosity. This, of course, is the worst kind of speed—the sort that shortens life and destroys the health. Nationally we are impatient rather than speedy. FEDERAL reserve board says Americans produced more, spent more and saved more last year than they did U-e year before. The big question is, who spent and who saved? COOLIDGE managers figure he will have enough votes for nomination on the first ballot. But there’s many a Hiram Johnson speech between figuring in January and balloting in June. MORE than 3,000 were killed by bad booze last year, vhe Anti-Saloon League says. Dunno how the Anti-Saloon League gets the number, but if it’s correct, l>oozing ought to stop soon for laek of living boozers. JUDGING by his willingness to sell rifles and ammunition to the Mexicans, Secretary Hughes has forgotten those passionate pleas he made for ending the traffic in arms at the arms conference.

DISPUTES ON FAITH ARE WORLD OLD Fundamentalist - Modernist Controversy Runs Back Through Ages. W. H. Porterfield of The Times Washington staff, has made it a lifelong hobby to study religion and people. He is a student of the Bible and has read widely on the growth of Christianity. He is particularly well qualified to discuss the present controversy between the modernists and the fundamentalists in the church. This is the first of five articles by Porterfield on the subject. By W. H. PORTERFIELD Na bleak December day, In a modest home In a little lowa b town, a mother bent over the corpse of her golden haired bahv daughter. About the wee coffin had gathered sympathizing neighbors, sorrowing women, many of them also bereaved of husband or child by the dread scourage, diphtheria, mingling their tears with hers. Into the little group came a gray haired man, stalwart of frame, firm of step, a good man, an earnest Christian, Elder S. of the Presbyterian Church. Now- the mother had been raised a Baptist. At heart, she was an Armenian, though she did not know what the word meant. Elder S., too, bent over the child and, as if ashamed, brushed away a teat. Then he spoke. “Had the child been christened?” The mother shook her head and went on weeping silently. "That Is bad, very bad,” he muttered. The mother blazed up in her wrath. Baptism or No Baptism “My baby went straight to heaven and I know it. baptism or no baptism,” she walled fiercely. “The shores of hell are lined with the skulls and cross-bones of unbaprized children!" solemnly declared the old man as he walked out. All this occurred forty-six years ago and Elder S. was a fundamentalist. He believed the Bible to have been written by the very finger of God. believed It from Genesis to Revelations, commas, semi-colons, periods, and capital letters. He believed In a literal Hell, a persona! devil and that the: baptism of infants was not only necessary, but It was the only way to Insure eternal salvation for the infant.

Was Not First One But Elder S. was not the first fundamentalist. More than a hundred years before, that uncompromising genius. Jonathan Edwards, had thundered from his Boston pulpit: “All children are vipers In the sight of God!” It was Jonathan Edwards who Is declared to have been the original author of the following story: A gioup of little children seated upon the hard benches of a New England church in the early Elgnteenth Century sat with terrorstricken faces as the famous doctor described to them the horrors of a hell In which they might be consumed eternally. “Why,” said the good doctor, “there are stars In the heavens so far away it would take a little bird a million years to reach them. Now suppose one of these little birds should fly down to the sea shore, pick up a tiny grain of sand, and fly with It to that farthest star! And suppose it should then return to earth and get another little grain of sand and so continue till all the earth waa carried to that Inconceivably distant star, by that time It would be sun-up in hell!” Goes Back Farther But even Jonathan Edwards was not the first fundamentalist. Two hundred years before the founder of the doctrine of election. John Calvin, had enunciated the theory God fore ordained some souls to be saved and some to be damned and that was all there was to It! And before John Calvin had come the fathers of that church which drove Peter Abelard, the great modernist of the Eleventh 'Century, Into a monastery and finally to his grave. And there were those who made Gallileo recant when he said the world moved and the sun stood still, and so back through the corridors of time we might go searching and searching for the /irst great fundamentalist, for the one who first held firmly to dogma in the face of all the persuasion and reasoning and testimony of all the five senses and the element of common sense, into the bargain. For your fundamentalist In theology is youi true conservative. He believes In holding to the faith of the fathers as he understands it and Is above all things uncompromisingly opposed to new doctrines as being "upsetting and subversive of the faith.”

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. —Ps. 37:1,2. * * • T* - O overcome evil with good Is good, to resist evil with evil Is *- evil.—Mohammed.

Heard in the Smoking Room

AID the lawyer in the end seat of the smoker: know your jury, however many challenges you have used up. I’ve been in a case in a little town up near Sacramento, where one Hurley Smythe was arraigned for stealing a Vmluable horse. Harley was one of my old school friends and I volunteered to defend him. The prosecutor undertook to break Harley’s character and, among other character witnesses called a great bearded, boyish lout.

Science

Australia Is wildly excited over another spiritual healing crusade. This has takon the form of establishing a “healing mission” which is swamped by crowds. The usual mini ber of miraculous cures Is reported. This method of healing occurs frequently in different parts of the world. In educated countries it sometimes takes a modified form, such as Coueism, and In such campaigns attracts persons who believe In it through a process of reaasoning that has as its base the slogan of “the power of mind over matter.” But even where education prevails it is often baaed upon primitive methods, such as those of “Isaiah,” who has held immense openair meetings in western cities and cured by laying on of hands and even, in one instance, commanded the sun to stand still in order that he might continue his work. An Illustration of the power of suggestion Is shown In the fact that numbers of persons declared the sun did “stand still.” There Is some merit In emotional healing In certain cases, but in ordinary disease cases the startling cures last only as long as the excitement that produced them. The danger of such gatherings Is that It brings together large crowds of persons without proper sanitary control and they are liable to swap diseases.

one Luke Smith, who swore Harley’s character off the earth. “ ‘Now,’ I asked, when I took Luke In cross-examination, ‘isn’t it known all over town that you are a no-good, poolroom loafer and general bum? “‘I dunno,’ answered the dumbbell. “ ‘Moreover,’ I queried, ‘isn’t it. a fact, that your father is notorious as a thief, dead-beat and bootlegger?’ "‘I dunno,’ snickered Luke. ‘Ye better ask him. He’s foreman over there on th’ Jury.’ ”

DOG AS AID FOR POLICE IS DELUSION Evidence Trailed by Bloodhound Worthless and Entirely Unreliable, BY HERBERT QUICK OLICEMEN, even detectives, p' are like people. They are subject to delusions. Like other people, when they indulge In delusions, the ones they create themselves are the most devotedly followed. But police delusions are apt to be at the expense in liberty and money of the community; and they are likely to deceive the rest of us. Many police forces are possessed by a delusion as to the dog as a detective. They think that certain dogs—police dogs and bloodhounds—can trace criminals. “If we had only dogs out on the trail,” they often say, “we could trace the guilty person.” Dogs are often sent for long distances and "put on the trail” many hours after the crime has been committed. It is believed these dogs will, if once given the scent -of the guilty party, follow It no matter how it winds about, and jump on the guilty person when they find him. Is All Delusion This is all a delusion. They have ! proved it to be a delusion In Europp where the dog mania started. A dog can not pick out a man when given | the scent, even if close by. Neither an he follow the man's trail even j where it Is not crossed, if it is not perI fectly fresh; and if it has been crossed, especially by a trail going In much the same direction, the dog is just as likely to follow the wrong trail as the right one, and if there are many trails, he is much more likely to do so. It Is all a delusion. The dog’s evidence Is worth exactly nothing. This has been shown by hundreds of experiments with much better dogs than any police force is likely to have In your vicinity. The ability of animals, especially dogs, to be guided by the actions of people of which the people themselves are not conscious. Is shown by that horse, “Clever Hans,” In Germany years ago whom by pawing seemed to ha able to give answers to mathematical problems and the like. Actions Involuntary He could not do it when the person asked him the questions could not see what the horse was at. He was able to do these things by watching the people who knew and by con stiuing movements of which they I were thpmselves unconscious. Ho ' v.tli dogs. Men have been lynche 1 or terrified Into confessions because the owner of some dog suspected them and Involuntarily guided the hound to the suspected person. Human evidence Is unreliable enough. Dog evidence is still more so. It is not evidence at all. Let s hope our police affected by the dog delusion will speedily recover. This delusion la a deadly one.

What Editors Are Saying

Radio (Kokomo Dispatch) The finest thing about radio Is that only about one person in 100,000 can broadcast, and all the rest have got to Sit still and listen. What the world needs nowadays Is good listeners. • • Parking (Lafayette Journal and Courier) We are coming to the one-way street. Curb parking must be done away with. We have got to work out plans to provide millions and millions of squarb feet of flooring to be used for parking space and to he located within easy reach. Trade and development In every city will depend upon how fa rlt succeeds in meeting the demand for parking space. • • • Question (Frankfort Evening News) Scientists tell us that the earth will support one hundred times Its present 1 c pulatlon.

Judge Clarence A. Burney, Missouri: “If the criminal laws were properly administered, all law w'ould be respected more. The time Is past, I think, when the criminal should be given every advantage In the trial courts. The present statutes give too great power to defense attorneys. By exercising the challenges the law allows them they can defeat the efforts of the prosecution to obtain a capable juy. The result is that many juries are of the lowest caliber of mentality and citizenship.” The Rev. 1,. M. Birkhead, TTnitarlan, Kansas City: “The spirit of the age Is on the side of progress in .religion. Already hell has been abolished. People have a more human view of Jesus. Our ideas of the Bible are changing rapidly. It has become a human book. We no longer believe in the fall of man, but rather In his rise. Character counts for so much more than creeds. Most person now think that to live wisely and well here is the best preparation for whatever may come hereafter.” James .r. Davis, secretary of labor: "I am for an immigration policy truly American, drawn by Americans, administered by Americans, for the benefit of Americans today and in the future.”

What are the five leading industries of Indiana? Where can I get Information on them? Iron and steel, slaughtering and meat packing, automobile, foundry and machine shops, flour and grist > mills. From Chamber of Commerce. How much Is a second wife allowed in Indiana of her deceased husband’s estate when there are children by his former marriage and he leaves no will? One-third of his personal property, | life Interest in one-third of his real estate and SSOO. How are ealadiums (the plant popularly known as elephant’s ear) cared for? As soon \s the plants begin to lose their leaves In the fall, water should be gradually withheld until the leaves are all gone. The pots should then be removed to a position under a bench, and laid on their sides, or taken from the soil and placed In sand. During the resting period they should not be subjected to a lower temperature than 60 degrees F, and kept neither too wot nor too dry. About the beginning of March the tubers should be started for the earliest batch to be grown in pots. Arrange the tubers in their sizes, and 1 keep eßch size to Itself. The largest ! sized tubers will start quickest, and It Is desirable to begin with these for pot-plants. Start them in chopped moss In boxes. The tubers may be arranged rather close together in the box, and merely covered over with the moss to the depth of about one Inch. The new roots are made from the top part of the tuber, so It is omportant that this part should be covered to encourage the roots. For starting, a heat varying between 70 and 85 degrees will suffice. As soon as a healthy lot of roots makes its .appearance, the plants should be potted, using as small sized pots as possible. The soil for this potting should be principally leaf-mold, with a little sand. In a short time they will need another shift; the soil should on this occasion be a little stronger; give a position near the glass, and shade from the strong sunshine. New forms are raised from seed, this operation being h,n exceedingly easy one with the caladium, as they cross-fertilize very readily. Who Is the author of: “O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray, To come to me; of cureless Ills thou art The one physician. Pain lays not Its touch Upon a corpse.” Aeschylus, Fragment 250 (translated by Plumptr*.) Was Woodrow Wilson the first President to address Congress personally? No, Washington and Adams began their administrations by addressing Congress in a speech, to which Congress replied, hut Jefferson addressed Congress In a written message, which custom has been followed by all subsequent Presidents up to Wilson. How many were killed in the “Boston Massacre” of 1770? Five were killed and half a dozen wounded. jd

Prejudices In 1797 a man was arrested for wearing one of the first silk hats, in London. He was charged with wearing a tall structure having a shiny luster apt to frighten timid people. The magistrate considered this so j menacing that he bound over the dude In the sum of $2,500 not to wear his silk tile again. Seems improbable. London Dally Mail, however, digs the story from ancient records of the courts. A hundred years from now% many of the bitter prejudices and bones of contention of today will seem as ridlclous as the silk hat episode of 1797 seems to us today. Mixers Not surprising, that students who are “good mixers” have found it easier to make big incomes than men of mental superiority. It doesn’t read this way in the platitudes, but personality and influence are as important as natural ability, in getting ahead. A grouchy or otherwise disagreeable disposition Is as much a handicap as being born with something lacking in the upper story. The lovable characters who fail are In the minority. And then thair only failure is financial.

Another Ralston! To the Editor of The Timet I am a life-long Democrat. Why? Because my father was before me, as the boy said when he was asked why he was a Democrat, but I read a real stand-pat Republican paper and It is amusing to me to see how quickly it changes coats when things come Its way. I want to say what I said when Ralston ran for Senator that his record as Governor of Indiana would or should elect him to the Senate. It did. If he is a candidate for President no man can carry Indiana over him. Now, Mr. McCray as Governor could have made a good record, having the same chance, backed by the same good people of Indiana, and I should have said the same of him as I said of Ralston, but the rub is here —you see Ralston after his second term left the State out of debt when he went out, but with the second administration of the Republican party It goes in the hole, well, so deep that you cannot see the bottom. No hope In sight till they turn them out. The State is in luck to have a good watchdog as auditor of State, Mr. Bracken, else I fear she would sink deeper in the wool. A change of pasture makes fat cattie, and if we are lucky enough to elect another Ralston for Governor we might fatten the State up again. E. M 8008, FairmounL Ind.
