Acknowledging the Corn Belt qIINCE there was told recently in these something of the plight of the farmers in the com belt, the Government has undertaken to find some measure of relief. The heart of the com belt and scene of greatest distress is the State of lowa. The price of com means a lot to lowa, just as it does to Indiana. When it was selling for SI.OO a year ago, the farmers were persuaded to keep cool with Coolidge. Now it is selling for 55 cents and the farmers can’t be kept cool any longer. Os course, farmers, like other voters, have short memories. There isn’t any more voting to be done until next fall when Cummins, an Administration favorite, comes up for re-elec-tion to the Senate. Maybe if conditions happen to be good just before the voting day Cummins will have nothing to worry about. Maybe, on the other hand, since this would call for a little faster forgetting than usual, Cummins would have a lot to worry about. The lowa political situation is typical of other tangles that face the Administration. There’s Brookhart waiting to see whether the Senate seats him or Steck, his Democratic opponent, whom the Republican organization tided. If it is Steck, then Brookhart will be i candidate against Cummins, and most everybody seems to think he will win. Some out in lowa even predict riot and bloodshed by the disillusioned farmers if Brookhart’s seat is given to Steck. That is an extreme prediction, but it shows the feeling that is developing. Wherefore the news from Washington is perfectly understandable. This news is that the President has been consulting with Chicago bankers with a view to persuading them to do something for lowa banks to the end that the banks may stop going busted and do something for the farmers. To Secretaries Davis , and Wilbur |>i IONGRpBSS, we are told, is to be asked to spend $50,000 for a monument for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington. God forbid' There are some things so sublime that any attempt at embellishment belittles them. The lily is spoiled by gilding. The Unknown Soldier is an Idea, a Thought, Something that.lives in the mind, rather than a concrete thing, a mere human body that lies dead in a grave. He is Patriotism. He is Devotion to Duty. He is Self-Sac-rifice. He is the Spirit of America at her noblest and best. Who is there that can carve a stone which will do justice to all these? They tried it in New York. They hired one of the world’s most famous sculptors to carve a “Civic Virtue.” And civic virtue is near to what our Unknown represents. Yet what did they get? A monument showing a man somewhat resembling Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, standing self-righteously upon the neck of a frail woman prostrate. That monument does not help the imagination to a better realization of civic virtue. To the contrary. New Yorkers laugh and call it “The Rough Guy.” No more can a sculptor add to our conception of the Unknown. There are, however, two things we can do with utmost propriety, for both represent national devotion rather than dollars. First, we can put upon the tomb a simple, classical Roman altar of bronze and, as the French so fittingly do for their Unknown, keep a “fire of remembrance” burning upon it always. Fire is plain, simple and pure like the inspiration that leads a plain, simple American to give up his life for his country. Second, we could and should post a guard of honor at the tomb and keep it there always, like the flame. The troops are easily available and heavens knows they are posted at far less consequent places. Thus the tomb of the Unknown would retain all its simplicity yet have thrown about it a proper atmosphere of solemn reverence Avhich—more’s the pity!—some visitors do not now seem to feel. It would present a picture which even the least imaginative could appreciate: The simple tomb, the altar above it with its eternal blue flame and the Unknown’s buddies standing guard beside him. It isn’t a gorgeous monument the Ui. known wants, but to be remembered. No dol-lar-built column, the gift of a ridiculously rich nation, would be half so fitting as tfie simplest' act showing national devotion and respect. The Secretaries of War and Navy are acting as a commission to consider what recommendations are to be made to Congress. We respectfully offer the suggestion herein contained.
A Correction SHE other day The Times editorially stated that there were only 213 incomes in the United States subject to the 40 per cent surtax. That figure was correct as to incomes of 1923 on which the tax was paid in 1924. Now, however, the Treasury has made public the total number of such incomes for 1924, on which payment is being made this year. The number is 314. The point made in the editorial was that the surtax which Secretary Mellon has been working so hard to reduce affects only a small number of very big annual incomes. The 40 per cent is taken only from incomes exceeding $500,000 a year and is taken only from that part of such incomes above the $500,000 mark. It is interesting incidentally to observe that there were one hundred citizens receiving these large wages for their services last year that were not so well paid the year before. The big incomes appear to be getting bigger. The rich may be getting richer, as the old song says. In the class next below, the $400,000 to $500,000 incomes, the number of payers increased from 111 to 137. In the class from $300,000 to $400,000, the number increased from 216 to 322. And so clear down to the class from $5,000 to SIO,OOO, the number grew between 1923 and 1924. In all the classes below $5,000, however, the number diminished. WTiich opens up another field of philosophy.
Spencers Take a Baby
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson fqSl HE Spencers in our town have adopted a ULJ baby girl. And everybody is talking about how wonderful they are, about their nobility, their charity and kindness; about what a splendid thing it is going to be for the child, and how they should be complimented for having opened their home to a little derelict. But the Spencers should be complimented for no such thing. Commend them indeed, for their foresight and sagacity; congratulate them, if you must, upon their selfishness. For the Spencers will get as mueh from the baby as the baby will get from the Spencers. Grown-ups always do. We love to think that we work and give up for our children and get nothing much in return, but this is not true. Children always give us more lovely things than we can ever give to them. Can you imagine the world without children? Can you fancy what we should become if they were all spirited out of existence? Can’t you see us growing hard and cold and cynical; bitter, mean and selfish; grasping, cruel, vicious? For you know and I know that little children—our own or other people’s—help to keep us sane and good and young. It is the little people of the earth who preserve our faith alive, and keep our imaginations working, and our humanity from being submerged. Because of them we believe in fairy tales, in innocent pleasures, in the ultimate good. They are the leaven which sweetens for us all the bread of existence. Without their purity, their sprightliness, their dreams, the world would be a sorry place. They are the reasons, although we may know it not, why we keep on with our striving and hoping and dreaming, why we work to make the life better, why we still believe in Heaven. There must be a Heaven somewhere, if only for the children. We may think we are learned and complete unto ourselves, but in this we are deceived. The Spencers and their baby will soon find out. Life for them will take on anew irridedcence. The drabness of their days will be lightened by a great radiance. Their spirits will abound with new life; their hearts will become young again; their minds will be rejuvenated; their souls will be reborn. And this miracle will take place because of a small derelict baby. What can the Spencers ever give to this baby that will equal in worth what she is bestowing on them? Paying for Our Fun pFIOOD costs showed an increase in fifty I * I cities during the month ending Oct. 15, according to the Department of Labor. Butter and eggs led the advance. That’s what we get for kidding the Big Butter and Egg Men.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
A Sermon for Today —By Rev. John R. Gunn
Text: “He saw two brethren, James tile son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.”—Matt. &21. O' "I NE outstanding feature In the earthly ministry of Jesus was the way He was impressed by unpromising people. He never seemed to look upon anyone as ordinary. He saw something promising in everyone who came about Him. He saw the vision' of a white soul even In the outcast woman who one day fell at His feet crying for mercy and pardon. No matter with whom He was dealing, He seemed to feel that He had a good deal to work upon. Look at the way He selected His disciples. Apparently He went about it In a haphazard way. Walking by the sea of Galilee one day He came upon a company of fishermen, and He selected one and another of them, as though any one He ran across would answer well enough for a disciple or an apostle. He could doubtless have continued his walk along the seaside and have selected many others just as comj>etent as the ones He did select. Unpromising as these men must have seemed In the eyes of the world, Jesus saw in them the founders of the Christian Church. He recognized that even common men were so uncommon as to be Inherently able, in cooperation with Himself, to lay the
RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON
THEY WANT OUT T“TIINE prisoners at the Indlana Reformatory at Pen- ... / J dleton made a break for freedom following their Thanksgiving dinner which they enjoyed as guests of the Hoosier commonwealth. The rifles of the guards halted eight, but the ninth outran the bullets and disappeared In the great open spaces outside the prison walls. Os course, a posse -was Immediately organized to pursue the fugitive, the tocsin sounded, and quite likely the escaped convict will be apprehended before the has gathered more than an armful of liberty. That frequently happens, because the authorities at Pendleton and other penal institutions are experienced in chasing prison breakers. Every few days a similar attempt occurs at one of the State's penal Institutions. Some humanitarians and soft shelled sociologists maintain the fiction that penal Institutions should radiate a sweet atmosphere of lavender and old lace. It Is quite the fashion to expect prisons to be hospitals, homes and educational institutions places where those who come into collision with the criminal statutes can be gilded, reformed and returned to society as angels of light. But judging from the frequency with which prisoners attempt to escape from confinement and the unanimity with which they appeal for paroles and pardons prisoners don't want to be angels of light. All they want Is out. Which is the reason it Is well for society to keep them in. RATING OF CITY HOSPITAL Endianapolis city hospital is given a rating of “A plus” by the American Hospital Association and the American College of Surgeons, according to recent announcement. That's the highest possible standing. Three years ago the Institution had a “C* rating. The improvement Is gratifying to local citizen who are prospective traffic casualties or who contemplate partial suicide. The remarkable Improvement In the hospital’s standing In three years Is not an Inevitable natural phenomenon. It Is due to -mew buildings, more and better facilities, and efficient management. If the hospital was a private business enterprise every effort would be made to retain the management under which the Institution made such progress. The management would have suitable rewards pinned on It. But under bur political system ns the hospital is a city affair the management will probably have a can pinned on it despite its good showing. It is expected that the lste fuglvitive mayor-elect will put his own political friends in charge. So the Indianapolis Dental So olety, which planned to install a dental clinic at the hospital, has postponed action until it knows who Is to rule the hospital under the Duvall administration. A dental clinic would increase the hospital's facilities to render public service and Felieve suffering. But its establishment must wait on politics. Wonderful thing, the ( spoils system In bur municipal affairs. But what does the public get out of it? FOUR-HOUR DAY FOR WORKERS SHE four-hour working day instead of the present eight-hour standard within the next few years was predicted by the president of the American Chemical Society, speaking to Indiana chemists the other night at the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Science and machinery by vastly multiplying production will make such result possible. James M. Lynch, president of the Typographical Union, recently made a similar statement. One hundred million able-bodied men, he said, couldn't maintain the production of American industry at the present level without the lab-or-saving machinery developed in the last century. He believes the
foundations of the greatest Institution that has ever blessed human society. Os all men we would have regarded these unlettered, uncouth fishermen as the most unpromising. But among such unpromising people God sometime* discovers the greatest characters. When God wanted an Abraham Lincoln to save the union, He found him among the rail splitters of the undeveloped Middle West. When God wanted an Evans Roberts to wake up the sleeping churches of Wales He found him in the cool mines. When He wanted a Dwight L. Moody He found him In a shoe store. When He wanted a Gypsy Smith He found him in a gypsy tent. When He wanted a Billy Sunday Ho found him on a baseball diamond. If we had been looking for such leaders we would have gone to the University or Theological Seminary. But how often God surprises us by calling out His prophets from the obscure places of earth and from among the ranks of the lowly. Does life seem unpromising ho you? Do you regard yourself as Insignificant and without any qualifications for a worthwhile career? What you need Is to see In yourself what God sees In you. In the plainest of us God sees gifts and powers which. If discovered and developed, would make us a great blessing to the world. (Copyright, 1925, by John R. Gunn)
perfection of machinery will make possible shorter hours. The four-hour day may come. But not for all classes. Doctors and fanners, among others, will find It impossible to adjust themselves to such a labor schedule, unless the Lord, can be persuaded to make weeds, the stork and the Grim Reaper observe union hours. Is such a short work day desirable generally? Many will fear the effect. They say that a man is happiest when working and that Satan finds mischief for idle hands to do. Such will expect a shortening of work hours to Increase banditry, pool room loafing and similar amusements and time passing activities. Quite likely their fears are ungrounded. The finest products of culture and civilization result from leisure. The attainments of ancient Greek civilization were possible because the Greeks enjoyed ample leisure while slaves did the work. What will happen to civilization when 100,000,000 Americans have as much leisure as the ancient Greeks enjoyed? HEALTH OR POLITICS [LLIAM DUDLEY \y FDULKE, of Richmond. L—J Ind., former United States civil service commissioner. In a Thanksgiving address in Indianapolis, scored the State board of health for Us failure to act In the matter of the Washington (Ind.) water supply suspected of being contaminated with sewage. He cited the case as a horrible example of the paralyzing effect of politics on public service. He picked a good specimen. A year ago several cases of typhoid appeared in Washington. The citizens suspected the water supply. Six months ago an experienced engineer made a survey of the situation. He found city's sewage emptied Into White River above the Intake of the city’s water supply. Perhaps that wasn't responsible for typhoid, but It added age and strength, not pristine purity, to Washington’s drinking water. And certainly calls for the attention of the State health board. However last spring the health board was reorganized in comfonnity to the polltioal exigencies of the new State administration. Then In August the new board tried to oust Dr. King, the old secretary. to make place for a more active party man. He appealed to the courts, where the squabble of purely political origin now rages. Meanwhile the State board of health does nothing but meet and adjourn; the urgent report of the engineer on the Washington water situation gathers dust in a pigeonhole. As far as the State board of health Is concerned every voracious little germ In the State can riot Joyously and unrestrained. What do the politicians, who have disrupted the work of the health board care about typhoid germs and staminated water supplies? Typhoid germs don’t vote nor belong to the party organization. Ask The Times You can get an answer to any question of fact or information by writing to The Indianapolis Times Washington Bureau 1323 Now York Are.. Washington.

Unsigned requests cannot answered. All letters are confidential.—Editor. If a person has lost his American citizenship papers does that keep him from voting? If a naturalized American citizen loses his citizenship papers it does not mean that he has tost his American citizenship or that he can not vote. He can vote if he can establish, by other means, the fact of his being naturalized. He should make application for a copy of his papers, addressed to the nearest United States Circuit or District court. Sworn affidavit should be made to the effect that final citizenship papers were secured at (give name of court and the city in which the papers were obtained, as well as the date). He should also Include facts concerning how and when the papers were lost. The purpose of this is to establish identity with the clerk of the court in which the papers were received. There will be a nominal charge for this service, which will be quoted by the clerk.
Countess Karolyi’s Own Story

Here is a further Installment of the Coupteas’ narrative. By Ountess Karolyi. (Copyright, 1925, by Scripps-Howard Newspapers) “jgrn ARTS, Nov. 28.—(8y Cable)— r* People generally think Hun-—-J gary is a country whose inhabitants are gypsies who wander about in caravans and who have enchanting music of their own, and that the national dish —the goulash —has a lot of red pepper In it. But I think more typical than these of Hungary are Its medieval structures, its semi-feudal Institutions, and Its social life which are In vivid contrast with the western democracies. Hungary before the war was dominated purely by Its aristocracy. It was essentially an agrarian country. It was ruled by big landowners who belonged to the class of high nobility, and by the clergy, especially of the Roman Catholic Church, which possessed enormous wealth. The will of my people was entirely disregarded. Not only the many other races living in Hungary— Slavs, Roumanians, Germans and the like—but also the Hungarian peasants themselves were treated as serfs and were deprived of any voice In the government of their country. Big 1 .and Owners Out of the 20,000,000 people 2,000 owned two-thirds of the land. The consequence of this state of affairs was that Hungarian peasants emigrated in such great numbers that one of the most urgent problems of Hungary was bow to prevent the

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Charges Are Pressed Against Paul Before Agrippa
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 29: Paul Before Agrippar—Acta 20:19-32. By William E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Comsregationnlist P - — “I OLITICS and personal ambition have ever tended toward i.. ....) the interference with justice on the part of those specially appointed to dispense it. -Ambitious men, with their own axes to grind, have cared little what injustice other men suffered as long as they have been able to further their own ends. Felix, the Roman governor, when he went out of office, had left Paul still a prisoner so that he might curry favor with Paul’s enemies. Festus, who succeeded Felix, was tarred with the same stick. He cared more for his own ends than for Justice. So, when the Jews once more pressed the charges against Paul before the new governor he played safe—for himself, and disregarded the rights of the matter. It i3 true that he exercised a rough sort of justice, and told the Jews that it was against Roman custom to send a man to death without giving him a chance to defend himself; but after having at first compelled the Jews to come to Caesarea to accuse Paul he weakened and insisted that Paul should go back to Jerusalem and answer his accusers there. Paul’s Perils Paul understood full well the perils of the way—that probably his foes would arrange to lie in ambush and seize and kill him on the way. So Paul refused to go to Jerusalem, and exercised his rights as a Roman citizen ln appealing to Caesar. While Paul was being held, prior to being sent to Rome, King Herod Agrippa, with his wife Bernice, came to Caesarea to pay his respects to the new governor. Festus told Agrippa about Paul and Agrippa requested to hear Paul for himself. With great pomp Agrippa and Bernice came to the place of hearlrifc. whither also Festus had summoned the chief captains and principal men of the city. If they had gathered
emigration of the masses of the people from the thinly populated country. Our society life was one of the most exclusive and snobbish to be found anywhere In the world I was brought up to believe that -wo were something quite apart from all other humans. Any one who worked for a living was regarded as belonging to another world. The middle class intellectual was just as far outside of our circle as was the peasant, and the lawyers, doctors, professors and ‘artists were all regarded as belonging to the same uninteresting, plebian crowd. We did not even try to understand them, and it was considered bad taste to seek their company. In short, our society never came Into contact with other social circles, and we rarely knew there were interesting people outside of our own set. Dispute* With Friends It was 'in this atmosphere that I was brought up. But as I grew oldef, I felt the absurdity of It all, and many violent disputes occurred between me and my friends. To marry a man who had no title, even if ho belonged to a good old family, was regarded as a degradation. The social etiquette of the Hungarian nobility was most tyrannical. There were people one could meet In the country, but not in tha city; others who were Invited to big receptions, but who were not to be asked for luncheon. Again there were others who were only met at. charity entertainments, hut who, after they had paid for the pleasure of seeing you, were not supposed to see you again until the next charity ball. At one of those charity halls a countess In the “grand chain” was put In the disagreeable position of having to give her gloved hand to an unknown neighbor. To avoid this

for diversion at Paul’s expense, the apostle soon turned It Into a very serious occasion. His defense before Agrippa Is a striking piece of rhetoric and a fine summary of Paul’s life and experience. It stands with the great addresses of all time and Its power as It was delivered is witnessed in the record of Its effect upon Agrippa. Stage of ‘Almost’ "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian,” Agrippa burst forth as Paul drove the matter home.

she held out her lace handkerchief to the abashed man, who although embarrassed, arose manfully to the occasion, took the handkerchief blew his plebian nose into It, returned it and murmured his thanks. Taught at Home It was not the habit to send children of the aristocracy to school. Our nursery was filled with governesses—French, English, German and Hungarian—and we lived our livee excluded as much as possible from the outside world. Even our parents we seldom saw. The girls were brought up with the hope of an early marriage to a wealthy nobleman. The girls, even when grown up, were supposed to believe the story of the stork. As the large properties were mostly entailed, they were Inherited only by the boys of the family, so, often, when the eldest son Inherited the entire family wealth from his deceased father, his mother, sisters and younger Brothers were left absolutely nothing And, so It was a firm principle that a nobleman must not work, they could do nothing but either run heavily Into dobt or marry an heiress. In every country there Is a more or less small class of people who have those same ideas, who live this same kind of life of luxury and egotistical pleasure with little thought for others. But I believe there Is no other country In the world where these people had such great political Influence through their wealth and position or had such a fatal power over the life of the nation, as was the case In Hungary before the war. And all of the calamities which have befallen our oountry during Ihe last decade have been largely due to these conditions. Next: “My Experiences in the Revolution.”

all not much better than trembling Felix. Here, however, Is a masterly ploture of Paul. One feels the fore* of this man of Imperial Christian vision, who brought Chrisitlanlty Into Europe, a man who, whether In the presence of kings, or aa a prisoner on a ship In distress, or as a leader ln spiritual enterprise, dominated everything and everybody about him with his spirit and purpose. And the secret of his strength was ln Christ! This man of such amazing power had felt his weakness until Christ had whispered unto him the secret of strength.
