Every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.—Prov. 19:6. The more we give to others the more we are increased. —Lao-Tze. NO MEAN POLITICS 5. Delbert Wilmeth Runs Independent of Factions mODAY we leave the factions and consider that frequently unsuccessful type of individual, the independent candidate. He blossoms forth in every municipal campaign such as the one that is now inflicting itself on Indianapolis. Usually his candidacy withers and dies. Once in a great while ne is elected to office, whereupon he usually sets out to form a faction all his own. Among the leading independent candidates for the Republican nomination for mayor is Judge Delbert 0. Wilmeth of city court. The judge is known to his friends as Del. The story is told that last summer he went out of town and, being cut of town,' he sent back the usual “wish you were here”, postcards. The cards were sent to the homes of his friends and each was signed simply “Del.” A whole lot of perfectly good voters had a hard time explaining to their wives that “Del” was the name of a man. "We don’t know how many votes the judge lost that way. Anyway, Wilmeth came into the limelight during the last city campaign. He was a graduate of a law school, but being under the necessity of earning a living after returning from the war, he got himself a job with an oil company and sold axle grease. Which was to his credit; axle grease is as useful as law, any day. When the campaign came along he decided he wanted to be city judge. So he entered the Republican primary and was defeated by J. Herbert Hartman, whom everybody probably remembers. Well, J. Herbert was forced to get off the ticket under rather unpleasant circumstances and Del was given the place. Del being a Republican, the rest was easy. He has been spending the last three years fining bootleggers and speeders. • • • \v7|E don’t know when the idea occurred to him, but several months ago Delbert announced that he wanted to be mayor. Either he scorned the factions or failed to be adopted by them. Anyway, it is generally admitted that he doesn’t belong to a faction. All of which is somewhat to his credit. The judge has a way of his own when it comes to campaigning. He tried it when lie ran for judge and he got a lot of votes So now that he is running for mayor he is trying it again. The first thing he does is to have a lot of blanks printed saying “the undersigned voters of the city of Indianapolis indorse Delbert 0. Wilmeth as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor.” There is room for about ten signatures on each. On the reverse ride is the candidate’s platform and reproductions of newspaper stories favorable to the eausfc. After having these printed, the judge

The speed necessary depends upon the type of plana. Perhaps fifty miles an hour would be a good average. Propellers revolve at from 1,500 to 2,500 revolutions per minute. Is It lawful to make Jewelry out of coins of the United States? This is perfectly within the law, even if the Jewelry is to be sold. Who was the person that offered the prayer in the first Congress of the United States? The Rev. Jacob Buche, an Episcopal clergyman. He was chosen chaplain in September, 1774. From where did the word “dago” originate? It is a pervlsion of the Spanish *T>iego’ which is a common prpper Dame. It came from Spanish into Portuguese and into Italian and finally Into English. What Is meant by “middle age?" Since the ordinary span of life is said to bo “three score years and ten,” or seventy years, middle age would literally be reached at thirtyfive. Generally speaking, however, the term is more loosely used and applies to persons In their forties and early fifties. What was the “Long Embargo?" The embargo act passed by Congress Dec. 21, 1807, during the administration of Jefferson. It was brought about by the seizure of American ships by the Britieh and French governments. The act, provided that sailings of American* vessel for any foreign port tre indefi-

The judge files them in his card index labeled “voters who are going to vote for me.” Del says he has 14,000 names in this index. • • • lURING the last few days the judge has 4 ____ got himself a publicity man and has appointed a campaign manager. Not only that, but he has been broadcasting his speeches by radio. This radio is a wonderful thing, as someone has remarked before. Not the least wonderful thing about it is that you don’t have to listen to it unless you feel like it. All of this indicates the work which a candidate has to go tbrpugh' under our present form of city government in order to try to be nominated. Under the city minager system the best available executive would be employed to administer the affairs of the city. He would be kept on the job so long as he delivered the goods—-and no longer. ‘lgnorance a La Mode’ mT IS to be doubted if a higher value has ever been placed on “ignorance” than during the tedious unraveling of the story of Teapot Dome. In the course of the Senate investigation, high officials of the Government, leading executives of oil. companies, and just plain garden variety witnesses day after day took refuge behind “I don’t know.” In the trial at Cheyenne, the Government ’s greatest problem has been to have spread on the records the facts known to be in the possession of certain witnesses—some of whom were in the courtroom and some of whom were in France, Africa, and in Mexico. But officially nearly all witnesses “knew nothing.” One of the most important of the Government’s witnesses was to have been Col. Robert W. Stewart, chairmaa of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Colonel Stewart found it convenient to set sail for “Mexico and South America” just before the trial began. But does his absence really matter! Had he lived up to the reputation for “ignorance” which he set when he testified before the Senate Manufactures Committee in 1923, he would have added nothing to the testimony. At that time Colonel Stewart testified he did “not know anything about the Mammoth Oil Company.” It was the Mammoth that got the lease to Teapot Dome. Later, during the Teapot investigation, it was shown that Colonel Stewart’s company owned one-half of the Sinclair Crude Oil Company; one-half of the Sinclair Pipe Line Company; and a controlling interest in the Midwest Refining Company. These three companies were all directly involved in the Teapot Dome exploitation. But the chairman “knew nothing.” Verily, “ignorance” is bliss.

This forced Congress to pass a law fixing March 4, 1809, as the date for the termination of the law. How was the length of an Inch first determined? A statute of Edward II (1342) made “three barley corns round and dry” the deflnltiort of an inch. The English inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. The old Scotch inch was slightly longer than the English. How many radio receiving sets are there in American and what is the estimated amount spent on radio equipment? There are about 3,000,000 radio sets in use. During the year Just closed more than 1300,000,000 was spent on radio equipment. To what country do the Samoan Islands belong? In December, 1899, the islands were divided between Germany, the United Spates and Great Britain. The latter traded her clgimt to Germany for concessions in Africa and other places. By the terms of the peace treaty of 1919, Germany’s portion ,was placed under the administration of New Zealand. Has a State the right to run a public road through private land without the consent of the owner? Yes, provided the owner Is given Just compensation for the loss of the property.

I I MIL, JANNINGS plays In I li I heavy foreign made dramas 1 i but he loves an American westen movie full of rough riding. While in Berlin recently.

He believes Europe will soon be producing as many pictures as the producers in the United States, but admits the Americans have the edge in production because of the wonderful California climate. Heavy Drama “Jannings is not prone to criticism. He believes we have only one fault—a lack of the heavy dramatic play. Jannings Is dramatic, likes the dramatic and believes the people want that more than the lighter combination Americans desire. I told him the Americans enjoy a good heavy drama, but not too many of them, that by nature they are lighthearted and happy and want plenty of laugh mingled with everything they get in the show line.

remember that, while most anybody can visualize ideals, it takes brains, study and time to attain them, even in a most partial way. Our ancestors were several thousand years building that fireplace and that family circle. It took them even longer to produce literature so that we might have clubs and schools, and. the earth was literally covered with dead men's bones before the conception of a republican form of governmena took permanent root. Where people are much Alike and trained to the same traditions, we get along very well, though even so, we are not entirely free from trouble. Despite our firm convictions with regard to the family circle, we have quite a few divorces and broken-up homes. Our literay clubs, parent-teacher associations. Improvement circles, don’t get along too well, or last too long, either, and ns for our government, we are reallv alarmed lest it be infected and overthrown by immigrants who do not believe as we do. With such difficulties in mind, and so little accomplished after such a long time, we are overly ambitious, perhaps, to suppose that the millenlum will dawn tomorrow, or that world peace Is about to supervene. If we were to stand the human race In line, every fourth man would be a Chinaman, and every second man an Asiatic, while only one out of three would be a Christian, even in a nominal sense, and only one In eight could speak English. That community of political Idealism of which we so confidently speak is going to require a much more definite community of ideas and conceptions than now existfl. It Is going to require a common language, for instance; a common and more brotherly notion <_f the past, a common understanding of the humanities. The ideal is good, but we are not going to attain it by slicking over the roof things with a little new paint. We Rre not going to make real progress In attaining It until we get down to the bottom and begin the foundations of our educational structure over again, until we admit that nations have a coimcr ''••‘gin, a common aspiration to Improve, a common desire to get along peacefully.

or fines, penalties, etcetera. Last year, according to Assistant Prohibition Commissioner Jones, fines approximated $4,000,000 and other penalties added $6,538,115. Enforcement in 1920, first year of the Volstead act, cost $2,100,000. The next year the cost was $6,500,000. In the year 1922 the appropriations totaled $9,100,000; the 1923 cost was $9,250,000; in 1924 it was $9,000,000. and for the current fiscal year expiring June 30, the prohibition bureau was given $10,629,770. For next year's enforcement $11,000,000 has been appropriated. In addition, within the past two years approximately $30,413,600 has been provided for the Coast Guard to purchase new ships, employ additional crews in the endeavor to prevent smuggling along the coasts and borders. On top of this, congressional appropriation committee statisticians estimate, the Department of Justice appropriations include at least $12,000,000 for hire of attorneys, special agents and preparation of prosecutions in liquor cases.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA

By GAYLORD NELSON

A TOOTHLESS GENERATION SEETH of 6,988 school children ir Marion county, outside Indianapolis, were examined in a dental survey just completed by the county board of health and Indianapolis Dental Society. Os the entire number examined only 236 pupils were found to need no dental attenI 19 some sclent! sts Nelson fascinating, however, will be his hairless, toothless wife, ' wearing a picture hat and smiling into the face of gusty March. The hairline has certainly retreated before the march of civilization. In the days of the missing link it came down to the eyebrows. Now frequently It is found beyond the Great Divide and far down the western cranial slope. Maybe the good old incisors, bicuspids and molars with which the human race has carved out its place in the sun are also doomed. It will be too bad for man has enjoyed his teeth. However, the dental survey just completed seems to indicate that soft living is sapping their vitality—and a toothless generation is arriving. But as nature abandons teeth dentists bridge the gap. So probably the next generation will have plenty—even if they are not all home grown. POLITICS A DEAD LOSS EATROLMAN JOHN PEAK resigned from the police force Tuesday, after twentyone years’ service. His resignation followed hls reduction from turnkey to patrolman in the recent political shake-up. Which again proves that though it may be highly profitable to factional leaders to make the police department a political club the result is dead loss to the public. It costs money to train green policemen. Barring physical disabilities a man becomes a better officer and more valuable to the force with each additional year’s experience. At least so It would seem to the untutored public. But not to city politicians. They aren’t concerned about a police force, but a political machine. Long service, experience or capability aren’t determining factors in promotion or demotions. Partisan complexion determines, regardless of whether good of the service gets Its back wrenched in the shake-up. Private industry has learned that continually hiring and firing workmen Is expenslve-*-that high labor turn-over Is a canker eating the heart out of operating efficiency and profits. So In private industry keeping veterans in the service is good business. Why wouldn’t it he good business in the Indianapolis police department? SPEEDING” MOTOR BUSSES S*~—- IHERIFF OMER HAWKINB Is patrollng county highways to discomfit bus drivers whom he declares are the worst violators of speed laws on country roads. The Lafuze act, which became effective last Saturday, limits bus speed to thirty miles. Many lines, however —asserts the sheriff—must average thirty-five to forty miles to maintain schedules. Arrogant motor busses have their own way on the roads. Shivering flivvers scurry to cover at their approach. The self-esteem of a flivver Is dented if nothing else after a bus has crouched upon its thorax. Because lighter vehicles thus give them plenty of elbow room busses find it easy to speed. Apparently, many assume they have an inherent right to travel faster than other traffic. However, they don’t own

though they sometimes pre-empt—-roads. Their rights are the same as other traffic. As much deference to legal speed limits should be exacted from them as from private vehicles. Thirty miles an hour is not a snail’s pace. It will permit a bus to arrive at any Indiana terminus before the sands of time have entirely run out. Probably it's better to keep them within that legal limit now than wait until a speeding bus spews passengers in a gory heap on the road. A spasm of law enforcement after a coroner’s Inquest won’t reassemble needless victim*. HISTORIC HOMES mHE Indiana society. Daughters of the American Revolution, has just completed an endowment fund of 110,000 for upkeep of the William Henry Harrison home at Vincennes. Thus preservation of one of the few remaining links with the brave days of the State’s youth Is assured. Indiana is fast growing up. Though scarcely a hundred years has passed since it was an unpeopled wilderness, that time seems as remote to present residents as the Norman conquest. Few landmarks of early days have survived the accelerating rush of civilization. It Is characteristic of America. We do little looking backward. As a people we live in the present and future, not in aged dead and gone. Consequently few buildings are permitted to grow old gracefully and gather traditions. As soon a* they have outlived their economic purpose they are torn down. Only in recent years has there been a widespread movement to preserve birthplaces and homes of great men who have gone. Os course, from the strictly utilitarian and practical standpoint there is no reason for preserving these relies. The man, not the house, was important. But utilitarianism isn’t all. There's something finer—sentiment. Probably future Hoosiers will get more inspiration from a Lanier mansion or a Harrison homestead—preserved because of sentiment —than they would from country clubs or profitable movie palaces erected on those historic sites.
