GRIFFIS’ VISIT HERE Written by John B. Reynolds, Commander Robert E. Kennington Post, American Legion. “IVY/ HILE Griffis has an intensely interesting story to tell of his W own experiences, he is making use of it to impress his fellow countrymen with the importance of what he terms ‘peace time patriotism.’ ” Thus writes John E. Northway, general secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Hamilton, Ohio, of Lieut. Corliss Hooven Griffis, who will be the guest of Indianapolis and Indiana Saturday afternoon and night when he appears at public meetings at the Cadle Tabernacle, Griffis will come to Indianapolis under the auspices of the Robert E. Kennington post of the American Legion. Griffis’ attempt to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, notorious slacker, who is a fugitive from justice in Germany, was not inspired by any personal feeling or hatred for Bergdoll. The fact that he was compelled to spend five months in solitary confinement in a German prison as a result of his part in the attempted kidnaping, has not filled Griffis’ heart with bitterness toward the German people. Griffis, I believe, was inspired by a lofty ideal—a patriotism of peace which does not need flags and war to keep it alive and a patriotism which may well be considered by the American people generally. Griffis has a sincere message and it is to be hoped that the people of Indianapolis generally will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear him. It is recalled that more than 4,000 readers of The Times sent petitions to "Washington asking the American Government to use its good offices in obtaining Griffis’ release after he had been sentenced. THE MEANEST IT. S. SENATOR YyTJ E used to think the meanest man in the world was the China- ” man who made his children stand outside his door so that the mosquitoes would bite them and leave him in peace. Maybe he still keeps the title, but the meanest man in the United States Senate, it strikes us, is the one described by Ren resentative Louis C. Cramton in a speech the other day. This Senator lives in Coconino County, Arizona, bordering on Grand Canyon National Park. For years he made his living operating a toll road from the railroad down into Grand Canyon National Park. Now he is on the pay roll of the United States Senate at $7 ,500 a year plus mileage, and he doesn’t need to make his living that way. The National Park service, by arrangement with Coconino County, from which the Senator leased the right of way, pronoses to take over the Bright Angel Trail, as the road is called, make it a public highway to the great scenic wonder. Each year, However* when the authorization bill comes to the Senate, this Senator uses his senatorial privilege of talking as long as he pleases to defeat the bill which would deprive his toll road company of profits. That is not all. Though the Supreme Court has ordered him to vacate the trail, this Senator maintains men along it to prevent the National Park Service from building comfort stations for the protection of women and children entering the Grand Canyon, or from making the trail more safe to visitors. This Senator’s watchmen have staked off the pure water streams and they permit the tourists to drink only from water sources that are polluted by outhouses the Senator’s toll company controls. This Senator is so mean that we refuse to print his nmne. LISTEN TO THE CHAIR FEW kind words by Mr. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, to wit: “The integrity of a former Republican Cabinet official has been called into serious question because he accepted money while in office from certain oil interests. The reputation of three former Democratic Cabinet members and other Democrats prominent to the Wilson Administration, has been affected because they received money from the same oil interests. “Taking advantage of this situation a few political blackguards and scandalmongers have launched a general campaign of slander against members of the Cabinet and others high in official positions.” We don’t know what the chairman of the Democratic national committee is going to say. but,we call his attention to the fact that such big and regular Republicans as Senators Lodge and Pepper are urging Coolidge to fire Daugherty and, .hence, are included in Chairman Adams’ crew of “political blackguards and scandalmongers.” Go to it, chairmen! Let joy be unconfined. NOW that he’s thoroughly examined his legacy from the Harding Administration, President Coolidge* ought to be in favor of a high inheritance tax, as proposed in the House. BURNS detectives are trailing Senators on the Daugherty investigating committee, Senators say. Maybe Burns and Daugherty want to find out for their own use hereafter just what good public officials do. HENRY FORD keeps on showing ’em. His railroad’s January earnings were 300 per cent higher than during January last year. If they won’t give Henry Muscle Shoals, why not turn the railroads over to him?

Heard in the Smoking Room

•‘I | I KILL ED some stop-over time, I I I back there at S&Unas,” said Li Ia smoker, "listeneing to the spell-hinder for a hair restorer, who had a big crowd, and got off something like this: “ 'Ladies and gents: This bottle contains The Unparalleled Egyptian Restorer. Hair to cut daily, for the hairless! Its recipe was dug from the sarcophagi of King Tut, who refused to face hell or heaven without t. It hath the speed of the radio, the smoothness of the balm of Gilead and the delicious aroma of 100-proof alcohol. But, it must not be drunk. It will put a full beard on a golf ball

Fifty cents, please, and observe that the bottle is labeled, ‘Not to be drunk.’ “ Say.’ broke in a blear-eyed fellow in the crowd, ’that air bottle of yourn seems to have the speed, smoothness and smell what’s a godsend in these times.

Read Mt. 16:21-28. Text: 16:24-25. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever wouid save his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. ‘‘A man must gird himself tightly and move out boldly after Christ.

satchel by the son of Edward Doheny, one of Fall’s lessees. When Magee went to Albuquerque In 1920, he purchased the Albuquerque Morning Journal, then owned by Foil, John W. 'Vt’eeks, now secretary of war; the Chino Copper Company and other interests. -- Right away he started saying w'hat he thought about the State administration. After his note* were called he was forced to sell, but started another paper, the New Mexico State Tribune. now a Bcrlpps-Howard newspaper, of which Magee is editor. * Followed every sort of pressure and intimidation—suits for libel, citations for.pontempt of oourt, fines, sentences to prison. But. fighting inch. Magee so roused popular support that the Governor was forced to pardon him. Fall Broke, Then—- “ When I was called to Washington to testify before the committee Investigating the oil leases,” Magee says, “I simply studied the layout ns New Mexico politics transplanted to Federal affairs. “I knew that Fail had been broke in 1920. He told me so at the time he sold the Journal. His taxes hadn’t been paid for ten years, his ranch was run down and dilapidated. “I knew that the oil leases were made in 1921. I knew that by 1922 a now air of prosperity had come to Fall’s ranch. I knew tha* he had made large deposits of cash In Albuquerque hanks. “He had bought adjoining ranch properties, built a hydro-electric plant and spent large sums in improving his place. His back taxes had been paid. “Viewing the situation in the light of normal New Mexico politics, the inevitable question was: ‘Wherre did > he get it?’ “Out our way, particularly In politics, that question leads straight to the heart of mast problems.’' ' , Family Fun For Butter or for Worse “Go to the store, my dear, and get a pound of butter: if they haven’t huter, get oleomargarine.” “Yes, m-love.

QUICK HAILS NEBRASKAN AS LEADER Norris Lauded as Straight and Four-Square to Principles, By HERBERT QUICK HE best news of the week is that Senator Norris of Nebraska will allow the people of the State to send him back to the Senate for another term. He was hard to persuade, but finally consented. Senator Norris does not always agree with me; but let us not condemn any man for little limitations of that sort. He Is Nebraska's greatest man today. If an honest man Is the noblest work of God, Nebraska haa the chance to be represented for six years more by one of the noblest. He Is straight, he stands foursquare to every wind that blows, and he always has a reason for the faith In him. He ought to be elected unanimously; but I suppose that Is too much to be hoped for. Unanimously, because he Is a better Jeffersonian Democrat than any man the Democrats can nominate against him, and a better Lincoln Republican than can be put up against him by his Republican opponents. Defeat Disgraceful It will be a disgraceful thing if he Is not overwhelmingly nominated and elected —disgraceful for the voters of NsbrasKa. ' like the way Senator Howell, Norris’ colleague in the Senate, has behaved in this matter, too. Senators from the same State are apt to be like two bulls in the same pasture, prone tol go about wdth their heads on one side and their eyes rolling, each desiring to be the head of the herd. But. Senator Howell is reported to have gone to Norris and pawed up the ground in protest against Norris' declining. It was a creditable act. It reminds me of the story of DolUver, Cummins and Allison of lowa. Cummins was after Allison’s seat. Allison was old and In bad health. Dolllver had been a poltlca.l foster son of Allison's. Allison had held h*m In line when Dollvier had sickened of the boss rule of Aldrich. Wait for Opportunity "You've got to break away from this machine, John,” said Allison to ‘‘but wait for & great opportunity. And if you can, wait till I’m gone. I can’t break away. I’m part of the machine. You can—some time —and must, but don’t do it now!" Dolllver took Allison's advice. Moreover, when the Cummins forces went out to get scalp, Dolliver made the fight for the old man—and such a fight as he made! He carried the sen&torship hack to Allison and laid it at his feet. It was r splendid deed of loyalty and devotion. When the right opportunity came, Dolllver tore loose from the Aldrich machine In a magnificent outburst of patriotic indignation unequalled In the history of the Senate. Norris and Howell seem to be a fine pair of Senators who work together. So are Walsh and Wheeler of Montana.

EARTH TEEMING WITH LIFE, LOOKED LIFELESS / , Only Microscopic Organisms Existed Such as Jellyfish, Sea Worms, Sponges—Squid Develops Motion,

By DAVID DIETZ Science Editor of The Times (Copyright, by David Diet*) SHE first great step in the evolution of life upon the earth was the origin of life. The second great step was the division of the first miscroscopio globules of living matter into the two classes, plants and animals. But both the first plarts and the first animals were one-celled organisms. The third great step was the development of many-celled animals and plants. An organism which we find on the earth today gives us a. clew to how this happened and leads us to believe that there was a half-way step between one-celled and many-celled organisms. In canals and streams we find a microscopic organism which has been named the “volvox." It looks iike a little green ball. All IJve Togct her In reality It Is a colony of onecelled animals all living together. All the microscopic cells forming volvox are alike. But there are other colonies of organisms which show different kinds of cells, Here we have a division of Editor’s Mail The edit' r is willing io print view* of Times render? on tnteresUn* subject* Makt your comment briol.

Any good lawyer would be willing to say that it is against jkiblio policy to do so. Unmerciless publicity is the only way to avoid these accidents in the future. Why not out with the facts? I think it is against the Federal law governing the transportation of explosives to carry movie films on passenger cars. It is high time for the citizens to get busy and tell the public service commission something; namely that they would insist upon anew commission if the words “public service” do not mean anything to the present commission.

labor, as it were. This probably marks the beginning of the many celled animals and plarts. Today we find microscopic manycelled animals and plants. Therefore we may assume that for millions of years all life was microscopic. The earth was teeming with life but it looked lifeless. Gradually as time went on, organisms Increase.) m size. Gradually more complex forms of life evolved. All of them, however, w'ere backboneless animals. They included sponges, Jellyfish and round and flat worms. All of these are very inactive forms of life. Sponges are entirely fixed, growing on one spot Just as plants do. Only Feeble Swimmers Jellyfish are only feeble swimmers at the mercy of tides and currents. The sea worms are only feeble crawlers. Only one form of backboneless animal ha.B developed any great power of locomotion in all the millions of years from the time of their first appearance upon earth up to the present. That Is the squid. The squid has a spindle-shaped body inclosed in a muscular fold known as the mantle. There is a space between the body and the mantle known as the mantle cavity*The squid moves backward by drawing water Into the cavity through a funnel Just below the head and expelling It again violently by a muscular contraction of the mantle. The next greqt step !n\ evolution was the development of the backboned animal. The first one was the fish. Next article In series: The Evolution of the Fish.
