Justice Can Show Speed EWO young men of Shelbyville, Ind., Arthur Wyrick and Brazier Larrison, leld up a bank on Saturday. Monday they faced the judge and drew prison sentences of ten to twenty-five years. For once punishment trod hard on the heels of crime instead of limping far behind. Here’s another example of speedy court action. Harrison Noel, young New Jersey slayer, after a trial lasting less than a day, was found guilty of murder by a jury. He is sentenced to die in the electric chair, the week of Jan. 10. However, even this case of Jersey justice was surpassed in swiftness by an English court a couple of days ago. A murderer was brought before the court, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to be hanged. The whole proceedings occupied four minutes. ’J’hat was one of the shortest murder trials on record. These incidents show that justice can speed up occasionally. It is not necessary for her to poke along with closed eyes, killing nothing but time. Lawyers and others debate learnedly court reforms and ways and means of increasing the respect for laws and courts. The Marion County Bar Association thinks if judges wore judicial robes on the bench it would add to the dignity and respect of the courts. Perhaps so. But more four-minute, twelve-' hour and twenty-four hour trials would do more to cultivate respect for the administration of justice than all the robes in Christendom. When punishment follows crime certainly and swiftly, it can’t be lartghed off. These Men are Thinking SHE amount of quiet, earnest thinking that is going on with reference to prohibition is not generally realized. Even Wayne B. Wheeler, whose jobe it seems, would require him to keep in touch with American thought on the subject, reveals he has not done so. Anew organization, called the Moderation League, makes a survey of drunkenness before and since prohibition. The survey is not flattering to prohibition. Immediately Wheeler, speaking for the Anti-Saloon League, offers this statement for publication: “The Moderation League is an imported Canadian wet organization, advocating beer and light wines.” He declares that “it will fool no one, but the liquor dealers and the deluded wets who are financing it.” And our own Ur. E. S. Shumaker says it is spreading “wet propaganda.” Now let’s read over the list of directors and advisers of the Moderation League and sec if it sounds like a “Canadian wet organization” or an organization of “liquor dealers and deluded wets.” The list contains sixty-six names. Here’s a sample dozen: Elihu Root. Kermit Roosevelt. The Episcopal Bishop of Central New York. The president of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The president of the New York Bar Association. The president of the board of trustees of Columbia University. The president of the Carnegie Foundation for Teachers W. C. Redfield, former Secretary of Commerce. The president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Cos. Henry Holt, New York publisher. James Speyer, New York banker. The president of the Frisco railroad. These are some of the men who are thinking seriously about our present unpleasant conditions—just as you, Mr. Reader, probably are. Accusing them of serving the liquor dealers or of belonging to a “wet Canadian organization” will affect them no more than accusing you of the same things would affect you. What Do They Do With Them? irpIHESE figures come from the United 1 1 I States Census Bureau. Twelve and a half million grape vines have been planted in six California counties in the past five years. There were about thirty million vines growing in this district in 1919. Now the number is more than a third greater. One county increased its viticulture six hundred per cent. None of the six showed less than a thirty-three per cent increase. The agricultural census 4n the other California. counties has not yet been completed.

If Lenin Were Alive IOME of us seem to be losing faith in our country. Deplorable enough among the rank and file, such doubts should make an official blush with shame. Now there’s Secretary of State Kellogg, ranking member of President Coolidge’s Cabinet. lie seems to view the future, as the poets have it, as through a glass darkly. Apparently lie has some sort of a notion that we are teetering on the very brink of Bolshevism or Communism or some other appalling disaster. He appears to think we Americans are not altogether certain in our own minds whether we wish to remain loyal to the Star Spangled Banner or flock to the standard of Moscow. Otherwise, how account for his muzzling of this foreign visitor and his barring of that one? A man sure of his house does not tremble at every gust of wind. This paper entertains no such doubts as to our country or its people or the future. Amer-1 icans are a red-blooded lot. They know pretty | much what they want and are not milling around in circles waiting for some outsider to come along and tell them. Afraid of little Saklatvala, communist member of the British Parliament ? Sacred to let him spend a week in this country when the British put up with him all the time? Were Lenin himself alive and at the summit of his glory, this paper believes he might be permitted to come to America and stump the country from coast to coast for a year or for a lifetime without ever being able to carry a county. That is the way most people feel about this country. If conditions do not warrant this confidence, then Washington has been keeping something from us. And if things are as bad as that then it is high time the 110,000,000 of this nation were being told. If things are not like that; if our faith in America is not misplaced—and not for a moment do we believe it is—then let us have done with bans and muzzles on those who merely want to come here for a temporary stay. Something Missing By Mrs. Walter Ferguson O r ~~~ NE of the sweetest love stories in our language is called “An American Idyll,” by Mrs. Cornelia Stratton Parker. It is a simple tale of the courtship and marriage, the poverty and struggles, the birth of the children, of two very extraordinary people, and it ends upon a high note of tragedy when the husband dies after a period of ’ten years. It is a splendid, moving, poignant thing, shining with a love that shakes the heart, filled with the charm and beauty, the candor and simplicity that one finds only in the classics. It is what we all dream that married life should be. But somehow, with all of its loveliness, something is lacking. In the course of the ten years of married life, in spite of the fact that the two were often holding the door with both hands against the gaunt wolf of poverty, in spite of the fact that three children were born to them and that in all things else they were delightfully human, there is no record of a cross word that ever passed between them, no intimation that either felt the least bit angry with the other. The husband went to his death, perfect in all his behavior; the wife lays bare her anguished heart and can recall no word or action that she need regret. And so one feels, especially if one is married, that some small scenes must have been omitted, some harsh words wiped from memory, after the perfect husband has been laid in liis tomb. We hope so. For God never intended that married life should be like that. Its happinesses stand out vivid as high lights when contrasted with the gloom of its sudden storms. For about the sweetest things in matrimony are the little quarrels husbands and wives enjoy. It is, in spite of what authorities say to the contrary such a lovely feeling to be “perfectly furious” with the person you love best in the world, and to know that in a little while you will have forgotten your anger and be immersed in love again. For we are such peculiar beings that it is those whom we most adore with whom wp take the trouble to get angry. And when death separates husband and wife, it is not the cross word that will be most regretted—for cross words sometimes speak most strongly of love—it is not that they quarreled and kissed again that will pierce with pain the memory, but that they went about for days and days coldly unconcerned and utterly unthankful for the love that enfolded them like a beautiful garment. It is not the quarrels but the indifference that will eventually wring our hearts. * " ] AFTER Dec. 31 Mayor Shank ain’t gonna reign no more, ’the Klan says.

THE IN DIAN AFO LIS TIMES

A Sermon for Today By Rev. John R. Gunn

Text: “Arise therefore, and be doing.’’—l C’hron. 22:16. P and doing,” was the motto I] j David gave to his son, I w * Solomon, who was to succeed him on the throne of Israel. Solomon was a gifted, brilliant young man, and might be tempted to rely on his wit rather than work. This would mean defeat and failure. It was therefore wise counsel his father gave him when he said, “Arise, and be doing.” Someone asked Edison If he thought genius was inspiration. “No,” he said, “genius Is perspiration.” Said he, “There may be 2 per cent genius, but 98 per cent >a hard work.” Os course genius Is not to be discounted. Without a certain degree of genius, no amount of labor could have produced a Shakespeare, it Newton, a Beethoven, or a Michel angelo. But the greatest men have been the least believers in the power of genius. They have been men of toll and perseverance. Back of ail success and achievement lies an astonishing amount of

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

TRACK ELEVATION A STEP NEARER mHE Indianapolis beard of works Monday adopted plans for a f2.176,600 flood prevention project to straighten, improve the channel and bridge White River between Raymond and Morris Sts. It is expected the project will be advertised and the contract let as soon as possible. On this particular flood prevention work depends the start of the belt line track elevation program on the south side. So the action of the board of works brings track elevation a step nearer—perhaps. Marion County authorities threaten to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery because they were not consulted by the board of works before it acted. The city has charge of flood prevention work, but the county pays part of the cost. Hence the indignation of county officials. “We are not going to let the city run over us all the time,” quoth Harry Dunn, county auditor. Those are high spirited words. But what has that attitude on the part of county officials got to do with flood prevention? They don’t deny that this particular propect is meritorious and should be undertaken, or that the handling of the work is, according to the law, within the province of the city board of works. While county and city officials thus, wrangle over what at worst was only a breach of etiquette, not usurpation of statutory authority, the flood prevention and track elevation programs will have to wait. Southsiders who have hoped and prayed for the elevation of the belt line, lo these many years, can continue to hope and pray. Until city and county officials settle their latest squabble, however, they aren’t answering prayers. FARMING STILL HAS THE BLUES fxyll. 11. SETTLE, president of lyy I the Indiana Farm Bureau L ■ J Federation, in addressing that organization’s convention in Indianapolis Monday, said that farm conditions in the State are had. Prosperity has not yet visited the agricultural industry, he declared. The bumper corn crop and other visible evidences of a productive season, merely pushes the farmer deeper In the mire. The price of corn is below the cost of production, it is asserted, and other farm products are correspondingly low. If a farmer can’t make money in an exceptionally good crop year, obviously the industry is in a precarious situation. It is doubtful if legislation, artificial price fixing, cooperative marketing, or similar schemes urged by farm organizations an dcom-hclt politicians, can remedy the situation. It is noticeable that the greatest complaint of agricultural depression and the most voluble pleas for farm relief come from the Middle West States —the corn beltwhere land is most fertile, productive —and high priced. In other sections of the country —New England and the Middle Atlantic States —where land is poor and cheap—the farmers haven't succumbed to price conditions. Which suggests the idea that the fundamental trouble of corn belt agriculture is inflated land values overcapitalization of farm properties. No matter what the price of corn if It is grown on S4OO-an-acre land the grower is just gambling. Only an economic miracle—a combine tion of bumper crop and famine prices—which won’t occur year after year, can assure him a profit. The answer to the agricultural problem won’t be found in Congress, or by prying apart middlemen, grain exchanges, bankers, Wall Street. The answer will be found down on the farm by application of the homely laws of economics. PLAZA CHURCHES MAY GO mOHN M’CLOSKEY, chairman of Marion County commissioners, is reported to favor purchase of the First Baptist and Second Presbyterian churches on the war memorial plaza site by the county—which can be done by a bond issue. The other two commissioners are noncommittal. So far so good. For more than a year the question of She removal of these two has plajruert the memorial pi-oject. They are the only

incessant toil. It may sometimes ap pear that men are succeeding and accomplishing things with little effort, but do not be deceived by such ap parent ease. If ever there was a man who could do things with ease and facility of touch, it was Sir Walter Raleigh. Yet it was of Ra* lelght that Queen Elizabeth said, “He could toil terribly.” “Why, my Lord,” said a flippant clergyman to the Bishop of litch* Held, “it is the easiest thing in the world to preach. After I choose my text, often I go Into my pulpit and preach and think nothing of It.” “Ah, yes,” said the Bishop, “that agrees exactly with what I hear your people say, for they hear the sermon and they, too, think nothing of it.” Whatever genius successful men may possess, they depend on work more than their genius. When asked for the secret of his success, Turner, the great painter, replied, "I have no secret, but hard work.” No matter what your vocation is, the only way to make good is to be up and doing.

two buildings remaining in the way of the development of the plaza as planned. And they are in the block which Is to be Marion County’s contribution to the memorial ,as well ast he site of the main memorial structure. The two churches, whatever their spiritual and architectural merits, don’t harmonize with the plaza scheme. A couple of Gothic meeting houses hunched up against an imposing memorial building of classical design would assault the esthetic serse of every beholder. They would detract from the dignity and majesty of the memorial conception. Certainly the churches should go, even if their removal costs the county a pretty penny. The memorial undertaking, costly ns it may be is worth doing right if at all. It is intended to be permanent —for future . generations as well as this. An act of the State Legislature last spring provides that unless steps are taken to acquire these two church sites for the memorial project before Jan. 1, 1926, they can’t be disturbed for twenty-five years. There is about a month left in which Marion County can act in the matter. If the county commissioners are going to do anything they will have to cease desultory conversation and display an unusual burst of speed.

Chug-Chug By Hal Cochran The model’s nlneteen-seventeen; It’s lines are out of style. But, anyway, it’ MY machine, and I have cause to smile. I bought it in the good old days, when auto’s were the thing. And now I’m standin’, glad to praise, ’cause, gosh, I’ve had my fling. There was the time when folks would stare, when I went chuggin’ by. My friends all thought that I was there. I used to catch their eye. Os course a lot of time has passed. My auto's head Is bowed. Right now it’s not so highly classed, and people laugh out loud. I hop right out and crank the bus, and then the engine flies. I never have to stop and cuss like lots of other guys. Os course I need not use a horn. My engine knocks so strong, that people know, from night to mom, I’m cornin’ right along. Go on, you folks, who have new cars, and split your sides with laughter. Why I don’t mind your “har, har, hars" that, where I go, trail after. I know my car'# a circus clown and rouses lots of pity. But when your cars are broken down— I’ll still bo ridin’ pretty.

Let Mr. Fixit present your case to city officials. He is The Times representative at the city ball. Write him at The Tinier. The wind sings merry tunes about a pole on the verge of collnpse, a correspondent informed Mr. Fixit today. , DEAR MR. FIXIT: The pole in the rear of 1549 Hoefgen St., has rotted off just above the ground, nothing holding it up, but the wires. When the wind was high several times this fall, it leaned so it broke a telephone wire. Now we have electric light wires attached to the same pole and we are afraid they might set the house on fire if they fall. SOUTH SIDE RESIDENT.

CHAPTER IV “The Sacking of Saklatvala” By William Pltillp Simms ASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—SecI yyl retary of State Kellogg’s Li .J drastic portrayal of the role ■of St. PeterAt-the-Gate, barring from this promised land even visitors the color of whose political eyes he does not fancy, Is bringing ridicule and censure upon the United tSates. America is far more timid about goblins than such a great big country should be, conservative British editors observe. And the funny thing about this observation is that It was called forth by Secretary Kellogg’s ban on the Parsee, Shapurjl Saklatvala, communist member of the British Parliament. Passport Canceled Saklatvala was about to leave for Washington as a delegate to the Interparliamentary Union conference when Secretary Kellogg ordered his passport vise canceled. Now Saklatvala Is none too popular in England, and when he begins to spout on the floor of the House of Commons, the other members generally give him what is known 1 nthis country as the "razz.” Offhand, therefore, one

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 25, 1(12.)

might think that Kellogg’s action would have met with rousing British cheers. But not so. “A foolish comedy," was what tlies Liberal Westminster Gazette dub!>ed It- All that Kellogg did, said that paper, was to exaggerate the importance of one to whom very little attention had been paid until the question of his visit to America disturbed the peace of “a handful of dlc-ljards.” America, It added, "has shown a strange discourtesy,” for, “after all, Mr. Saklatvala Is a member of the British Parliament and surely It is an extreme and anti-liberal step to treat him in this way.” Made Him a Martyr Kellogg’s action “created a martyr” of a. man who would have “done for himself” far more offeo tively, said the bitterly anti-com-munist London Daily Express, had ho been allowed to land In America where the people “could hear for themselves the unutterable tosh” ho has in Ills pato. He is "merely a woolly-headed gas-bag and should be treated as such,” the London paper went on to say, and "it Is only when 'martyrs’ like Saklatvala are taken seriously that tho situation assumes a different aspect. The wise course, therefore, is tp treat such people witli pitying indifference. It they go too far there are other means of showing thorn that tho county has not gone crazy.” Senator Borah and other leaders on this side of the Atlantic took very much the same view. Liberal opinion in this country as well ns abroad, to Judge by widespread newspaper comment, saw neither wisdom nor dignity in "the sacking of SaklatvalH,” as the Utcrary Digest called It. Not So Brava “When a swarthy Parsee that London puts up with without any nervousness ran cause Washington to throw a double duck At,” said the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, "this conn try may remain the land of the fire, but It can no longer ho called tho home of the brave.” "Ruch suppression of free speech is far more dangerous than tho widest tolerance,” observed tho Si. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Moreover, it is stupid.” And on this the Nation, tho Newark News, Brooklyn Eagle, Baltimore Sun, New Haven JournalOourior, Philadelphia Record, Kansas City Star, Columbus (Ohio) Stnte Journal, Springfield Republican. | Now York World, Omaha WorldHerald and other representative paj pers agreed. Said the last named Journal: Saklatvala is tho mouse that has driven the elephant crazy.” Tho attitude of many members of Congress, with whose views the writer is acquainted, Is that the United States is far too big, too strong and too red-bloodedly sane to Justify it being made tho laughingstock of ail Christendom by Its Nervous Nellies who see a bogto-man behind every chair. These members plan to do something about it when Congress convenes in December.
