He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also* bountifully.—2 Cor. 9:6. One golden day redeems a weary year.— Celia Thaxter. Dishing the Dirt ppl HE city campaign is swinging into its last I 1 stages. Less than two weeks remain before the primary, when the voters, or at least some of them, will decide who shall be tbe Republican and Democratic candidates for mayor and city council. And, as is the habit with eity campaigns, the contest grows nastier as it goes along. Nothing much is being said about the ability, and qualifications of candidates. A great deal is being said about their associates. And probably this is just as well, because the associates of officeholders and not the officeholders themselves usually carry the most influence in Indianapolis public affairs. We have. the unusual spectacle, for instance, of Charles W. Jewett, former silk-stock-ing mayor of Indianapolis, and Samuel Lewis Shank, rough and ready auctioneer, making speeches on consecutive nights in favor of the candidacy of Ralph Lemcke, for the Republican nomination. At the .same time Bill Armitage, John Zener and “Bull Moose” Walker are actively working for this same Ralph Lemclce. Te-rily, politics brings about strange combinations. D. C. Stephenson, the unofficial head of the Republican party in the State, is temporarily out. of action, due to a visit with one of his political friends at the county jail. But “Steve” still remains a factor. He may not be uttering so many words that immediately become law nowadays; he may not be going about with his bodyguard of State policemen; he may not he holding meetings in hisjrvington home or keeping his famous card index up to date—but he still remains a powerful figure in Indianapolis politics. The chances are that he will continue to influence elections, even though he finds it necessary to continue to sleep behind iron bars and eat prison food. In fact, his influence may he-' come greater tharrever. For “ Steve ’’ has ceased to he a leader and hafU fhstead become an issue. Charles Jewett started it the other night with one ofliis most vituperative speeches ever heard in a city campaign here. And Indianapolis has heard some stem winders. One wonders whether Charlie, good Republican that he is, voted for Ed Jackson for Governor. In fact, one can not help wondering where all the Jackson votes came from. For was not “Steve” the leading figure in the Jackson campaign? Anyway, Charlie says that “Steve” and George V. Coffin, meeting in a room at. the Washington, on March 23, pledged themselves to support John Duvall for mayor. It is recalled that the rather unpleasant events leading up to “Steve’s” incarceration are alleged to have occurred, according to grand jury indictments, “on or about March 16.” (There Is some dispute about the exact date). And Lew comes right along and adds to Charlie’s story. And Delbert. Wilmeth, who seems to have the support of no prominent politicians in particular, is plugging right along, just outside the limelight. Far outside the limelight are the Democratic candidates. We, will give t.heir name for the benefit of the thousands of voters' who do not know there are Democratic candidates. They are Walter Myers and Adolph Emhardt. The most certain thing about the present, ,’ampaign is that the voters don’t seem to give a rap about it. They are just about as interested in the German elections next Sunday as they are in the Indianapolis elections a week from next Tuesday. Maybe more so. Dawes Is on His Way EICE PRESIDENT DAWES has launched his four-year crusade against the Senate rules. He fired the first shot in a vaudevillesque speech before the Boston Chamber of Commerce. He yanked Senator William H. Butler (Republican National Chairman) to his feet and caused him to announce his agreement that the Senate rules are terrible things to contemplate. He declared Senator Gillett would likewise have agreed had he been there. It is hard to determine from the printed reports of Dawes’ Boston performance just what, rules hurt his feelings most. He didn’t mention that rule which prevents a Vice President from voting and sleeping at the same time. He intermingled the United States Constitution. the United States Supreme Court, thp presidential veto and the Senate rule of unlimited debate in a way that must have confused the solid business men of Boston, leaving them only with the general idea that the situation was serious in Washington' and that it

was a brave Vice President who could sleep through it, even for one day. As the Vice President continues his crusade he doubtless will make clearer what it is all about. Let us hope that he will not he interrupted until lie gets it into understandable shape. Please let no man in his audience rise up and ask him questions. That always confuses Mr. Dawes. Please, in any ease, let no man ask him to explain his connection with the Lorimer hank disaster. That stops him entirely. And it is better that the the Vice President get his views on the Senate rules straightened out and explained to the people. It, wilj he well for the country to have all the light possible on the processes of the government, including those of of the United States Senate. Generally speaking, the Dawes complaint seems to he against the rigid rules that have grown up in the Senate during its century and a third of slow change. These rules have become so well fixed that Senators know what they are and how to proceed under them. Perhaps some of them are bad ; perhaps there is something to he said for most of them. Any how, a little light won't hurt. When Dawes gets his hill of complaint in better shape we will begin to hear from the other side and the debate will benefit the country as a whole. Some significance may be found in the introduction of Senator Gillett's name. Gillett has just come into the Senate from the House of Representatives, where he was Speaker. The situation in the House is very different from that in the Senate. In the House the Speaker and the chairman of the rules committee can pretty well do what they please. They can furnish anew rule on twenty-four hours’ notice enabling the mto carry out their will, which is usually the White House will. It may he rememhei*ed that in the House an investigation into the Department of Justice and Attorney General Dauehertv was under taken. How well that investigation was needed became clearer when Senator Wheeler undertook the same thing in the Senate and carried it through to a successful finish. But in the House, Speaker Gillett and his rule-makers stopped it by the simple process of turning it into an investigation of the member who wanted to investigate Daugherty. If the Senate is to be only an echo of the White House, Senator Gillett may be able to show Vice President Dawes how to bring that condition about. A Sermon in Stockings vYrJHY are rich people rich? ** There’s at least one answer to the question in a story they’re telling in Washington. A year ago a firm there discovered a way to make silk stockings with runs in them as good as new. Their machine picks up the dropped stitches and leaves the stockings looking as they did when they came from the factory. So to advertise the infant industry, the company sent, letters to a thousand working girls, offering to mend a stocking free of : charge. Only eight girls took advantage of the offer. Next the company made the same proposition to a thousand housewives. Only six of these grasped the opportunity. Finally letters were sent to a thousand society matrons, wives of diplomats, senators, and other wealthy men. At once the-re was a deluge of business and there has been ever since. The Little Girl’s Apple IpHLIPPANT eastern newspapers have criti--1 • 1 cised the action of a United States cus toms inspector in refusing to allow an lowa youngster to bring ashore an apple and orange at New York because a Government order prevents importation of fruits and plants from certian countries of Europe. “That’s carrying things entirely too far.” said these critics. But was it? The Agricultural Department order was designed to insure the exclusion of fruit pests. Any violation, however slight, is likely to bring in a scourge for our farmers and fruit growers. Failure to observe such little things has cost this country hundreds of millions of dollars. For more than thirty years the Government has been fighting the dread boll weevil, simply because no attention was paid to it when it first crossed the Mexican boundary into Texas. Now the annual loss to our cotton crops from weevil damage is estimated by the Department of Agriculture at more than $200,000,000. The chestnut tree blight, which has ruined this magnificent species, got a start the same wav. The pink boll worm, the corn borer, Ihe •Japanese beetle and numerous other pests all originated abroad. So, while it is unfortunate that the little girl’s feelings had to be hurt, she probably forgot it in fifteen minutes. In the case of some of our imported insect pests the country may never be able to forget them.

Names By Hal IWhrsn After all. aren't we people a right funny lot? We're r.ever quite pleased with the names that we've got. Objections we feel may he all tommy rot, hut we all feel the same as to names, like as not. Marie would must rather her name had been Pearl, for Pearl seems to fit just her type of a girl. And Lilly and Hazel, if pinned to the truth, admit that -they .wish they were Gertrude and Ruth. The feelings of fellows run on Just j the same. They're never quite | pleased with their own glverv name. I if Ernest had chosen, when ne was a boy, he wouldn’t he Ernest but ! Arthur, or Roy. With names that are common, like Mary and Grace, the owners wish odd ones had taken their place. And those that are odd like Theresa and June, to folks who are called them, seem way out of tune. Can any one tell why we make such a fuss, o'er names that our parents have handed to us? It's you, not your nanny that will carry you far. Don’t worry 'bout WHO. but WHAT you are.

Although playing the part of a girl. Farina is really a little boy. Is it possible to produce an absolute vacuum? No means of producing this has so far been discovered, any space free from visible material being still occupied by air, or some other gas or vapor. Some of this can be removed by an air pump, hut that which rema'ns at once expands -to completely fill the space, although at a les?er pressure than before, and a point is eventually reached when the pump is unable to remove any more of the ga.s Does the remarriage of a widow of a World War Veteran automatically stop payments of Government insurance, left by her former husband? No. Government, insurance is bought and paid for by the soldier, and payments are made to the beneficiary until the entire amount has been paid, regardless of whether she remarries or not. It is compensation to widows that stops at remark riage. Is the matric system used very extensively in the United States? The metric system is used for measurements in partically all scientific work. What was meant by the "Gentlemen's Agreement” between the United States and Japan?

CROWDING THE FRONT SEAT |ORE than two persons, be sides the driver, in the front seat of an automobile, will lie a crime in Indianapolis if an ordinance introduced at the Blast meeting of of the driver's seat Is believed , sides his eyes Nelson , , . . when confronted by an emergency. However it will le difficult to define by city ordinance just what constitutes overcrowding —and equally |x*rplexing to define the driver's seat. The person immediately behind the wheel Is not always the driver, who may l> anywhere in the car or home in bed. Any dangerous overcrowding is not necessarily a matter of numbers. Some persons consist entirely of longitude without latitude. Four of that type wouldn't make a crowd—they would scarcely make a shadow. On the other hand some individuals congest small coupes and bulge out over the highway like a load of hay. Such dfljp sgMfouslv large parties might reduced by dieting but not by city 'ordinance. Merely multiplying trnffie regulations does, not promote safety. Strict enforcement of existing laws will cause caution to sprout in the vacant spaces of drivers' minds —which more than congestion of the driver's seat are responsible for accidents. POLICE BRAWLS AND DISCIPLINE EATRICK McMahon, traf- | sic policeman, was suspend- | ed from duty the other day following an alley brawl with a motorcycle cop. A recent shakeup in the traffic department was the cause. Charges of conduct unbecoming an officer will he filed against him with the board of safety. Probably that is proper. Discipline must be maintained, and policemen have enough to do without expending their energies on each other. But a few weeks ago a brawl, Involving several police officers, lieutenants, captains and inspectors. occurred at headquarters. The* vanquished were demoted but nothing happened to the aggressor. He wasn’t suspended, nor were charges filed against him. The heavy hand of discipline was palsied in his case. Why? With such an example before them is It surprising that the rank and file of the force should settle their quarrels with personal combat? They have the same bone of contention, departmental shakeups—political shake-ups. The real difference between a gang of rowdies and a police force is not in the uniforms—but in the latter's morale and discipline. When the force is riddled with city politics, morale and discipline vanish. - At a result of the political shake-ups in the Indianapolis police department in recent weeks, policemen not the bandits and outip ws are knocked down. The latter are spry, busy and unharmed while the police force fights Itself.

SURGICAL UNIT FOR CITY HOSPITAL mOSBPH L. HOGUE, city controller, submitted an ordinance to the council on Monday night providing for a bond issue of $185,000 for a now surgical unit ai city hospital. Present surgical facilities at the institution are described as woefully inadequate, congested and obsolete. There are only two operating rooms—the same two that were In use thirty years ago, when the hospital was 'only a fraction of it si present size. The surgical rooms are situated in a part of-the original hospital structure that was condemned three years ago as a flretrap. Tn 1R94 there were 125 operations in them. In 1924. with practically the same equipment, 3.010 operations were performed. Tiie hospital facilities of Tndianapolis are extensive. Many notable public and private institutions are maintained here for ministering to the suffering. But the nee.l constantly Increases and they must be constantly enlarged. City hospital has grown to he a most ‘important institution. Ts it is to keep pace with the city and render the public service intended. Its surgical facilities must t he modernized and expanded. Os course the process will he I costly—ln the operation the taxpayer will be somewhat eut-ui>— ns the institution doesn't yield a profit in dolllars and cents. However, it does yield a rich dividend In lives, health and human it.a.rianisrn, These are as necessary to the community as budding industries and flowering pay rolls. Consequently, bond issue to provide additional facilities for taking the kinks out of human systems probably will benefit the community as much as a bond issue for taking the kinks out of a street. A POPULAR CIVIC SHRINE C. STEPHENSON, s political power In Indiana. I. I* was indicted on a murder charge Saturday, as the climax of a. case that has held public attention for several weeks. The day before, his residence in Irvington was the scene of a mysterious Are. The combination proved irresistible to souvenir hunters and folks possessing large, active curiosity. Sunday, automobiles Jammed the street near the house. Curious people swarmed over the lawn, peered in the windows, and inspected everything. Except for the police guard on the premises, the whole place would have been carried away for souvenirs. More Indianapolis people visited that place In one day than visit the James Whitcomb Riley home, or other popular local civic shrines, in months What drew them? What did they expect to see? A man writes poetry until he is Mack in the face, or spends his life in the service of humanity, and tVie world honors him. But it doesn't trample his flower beds or tear down his fence to see him or his home. Ts a man wants to become an object of popular tntereat and make his home a popular civic shrine, for the moment, his surest path is by way of a page one murder story. Curiosity will bring him the crowds —if not fame. Cloud on the Horizon "You should think of the future.” “T can't. It’s my girl's birthday and T have to think of the present.” —Boston Transcript.

How Children Get That Way

By N. D. Cochran ALLING a man a behavior psychologist may sound ;__J ominous to some people, and even lead them to think what he might have to say would be too far up town for ordinary people. But when he begins talking about children being born without fear, and learning to fear fire, snakes. Insects, and animals by habit he sets some parents to thinking. Dr. John B. Watson, leader of behavior psychologists, and formerly professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University, had under observation over 1,200 children, studying them from birth. He says: "But fear is only one of the emotions. Similar experiments show rage, love, boldness, modesty. Jealousy and all the rest are learned and become habit, and as the child grows to the adult the human continues to Ims caged in by emdtlopal walls.” Learn From Elders The thing parents can get out of the experiments of behavior psychologists is that children learn their nasty tricks of emotion from their elders, either parents or others with whom they come in contact at the most impressionable period of their life—from birth up to seven years of age. The boy assumes that his daddy is the greatest man In the world and
