Marion County Should Build a Courthouse SHE proposal of Leonard V. Harrison, secretary of the civic affairs committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, for the construction of anew courthouse is the most sensible solution of the county’s building problem. It is agreed that Marion County courts and offices must have more room. The commissioners must either remodel and enlarge the present structure or build anew one. In any event, anew building must be erected eventually. The old courthouse may have been a work of art in the mid-Victorian era, but it is an eyesore now. Nor is its appearance its worst feature. The courthouse is so cluttered with plaster decorations and “gingerbread,” and it is so arranged that it is almost impossible to keep it in a sanitary condition. It is equally impossible to provide much more room without building an addition. An addition to the old building would be not only an architectural misfit, but it would be extremoly expensive. Harrison proposes, and the civic affairs committee approves his proposal, that the county lease the south half of the courthouse property —the half facing Washington St. — and that it erect a modern office building on the north half, facing Market St. Harrison points out that the courthouse property is extremely valuable, and that from the proceeds of a ninety-nine-year lease, bonds for the new building could be retired and the interest paid without cost to the taxpayers. Thus Marion County has within its grasp the possibility of a new, well equipped courthouse without a cent of increased taxes. Viewed from any angle, this proposal considerably outweighs any plan for alteration or addition to the old building. Alterations and additions would be makeshifts at best and 6ould not possibly prove satisfactory. Marion County is badly in need of anew courthouse. It has more land than it can possibly use for this purpose. Half the land can be disposed of and out of the proceeds a modern building can be erected. That is a sensible business proposition A Man’s Own Backyard A~" MAN’S home long since ceased to be his castle, but occasionally a court recognizes that a citizen has peculiar rights in his own back yard.

Isner, holding a man could make fruit juice in his own home, for use in his cwn home, without being a criminal. The fruit juice must not be, in fact, intoxicating, although the alcoholic content may exceed one-half of one per cent. What constitutes fruit juice which is in fact intoxicating the court did not attempt to say. Nor did the Department of Justice, which gave indirect approval of the decision by refusing to appeal the case. The question of wine-making in the home is still muddled, but personal liberty has gained a small victory. Stickups: Home-Made and Foreign [T7 jOREIGN countries are gouging American ILJ citizens to the tune of at least $1,200,000,000 annually, Secretary Hoover told the House interstate commerce committee at Washington. Every time you buy anything containing, or made of, rubber, Egyptian long-staple cotton, camphor, iodine, nitrates, mercury, sisal or coffee, you pay tribute to some foreign power. Money is taken out of your pocket and put in the pockets of foreigners. That is because foreign governments, in one way or another, regulate these monopolies, control output and boost prices. We, the world’s largest consumers of such stuff, must come across or do without. No doubt about it, this is a rotten situation. Fortunately our Government sems to be waking up to it and Congress is thinking of doing something about it. Just what, it doesn’t know, but it is thinking. Frankly, though, the billion dollar gouge Britain, Brazil and other countries are putting over on us is small compared with what some of our own folks are doing to us. Senator King of Utah hit the nail on the head when he said there are trade associations right here in America that control the domestic market m steel and its manufactures, aluminum and its manufactures, copper, brass, cement, brick, lumber, plumbing supplies, furniture, coal, chemical dyestuffs, ice cream, wool, cotton, milk, meat and bread—in fact, “practically every commodity of necessity or convenience required by the people of the United States.” While we are all indignation over the foreign gouge, Senator King charges that the Administration is “silent on the many monopolies and combinations in the United States which are annually robbing the American people of many billions of dollars.” Let’s investigate all these gouges, he says—home-made as well as foreign. Amen 1 After all is said and done, it isn’t much more fun being robbed by friends than by total strangers. 0

A Sermon for Today ■' By Rev. John R. Gunn
Text—" Behold, he prayeth.” Acte 9:11, ' | AXIL of Tarsus had a notor- > I lously bad reputation among I the rlrst Christians in Jerusalem and Judea. He had been viciously persecuting them. The story of his conversion on the road to Damascus is familiar. At Damascus was a certain disciple named Ananias, to whom the Lord appeared in a vision, directing him to go and meet Saul upon his arrival in the city. This Ananias was afraid to do, saying, "I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.” But the Lord assured Ananias that there was no longer any occasion to fear this man, "for, behold, he prayeth.” That was enough. Ananias was satisfied. Nobody is afraid of a praying man. This reminds me of another story I remember hearing years ago. According to this story, "many years ago, before the days of railroads, a party of young men went on horseback through several States. When they reached the mountains of Kentucky they were warned that the section which they were entering was infested by bands of robbers. Just at nightfall they came to a

WET COPS AND DRY CITY IORREST SWANK, Indianapolis policeman, was busi__J pended from the force and will go before the board of safety. It Is charged that he was patrolling his beat in company with John Barleycorn. He has been before the board of safety several times for drinking. But he has always gained reinstatement. Off again, on again, has been his record. In the past two or three months a half dozen- policemen have been similarly suspended because of their affinity for liquor. And Thursday Prosecutor Remy charged four police officers with protecting booze Joints, accepting drinks and gifts of white mule in bottles. And these are the sort of fellows that are presumed to be straining every nerve to enforce the laws, including the prohibition statute. Or course, the great majority of policemen are upright and conscientious, observing the dry law themselves and seeking to enforce it impartially. But the actions of a few thirsty officers bring the whole force into disrepute and largely nullify its efforts. “If a cop can drink without being seriously disciplined, why can’t I?" is the unanswerable question. Consequently policemen found dallying with the "mule” should receive a swift kick instead of merely a disciplinary frown. Authorities can't make the city dry as long as there are wet spots in the police department, CHARITY ON A BUSINESS BASIS ||-k lEPORT of the budget and |l\| dlßtrlbut *on committee to v...

Bringing Others to Christ Is Mission of This Study
The International Uniform Sunday Bohool lesson for Jan. 10. Bringing Others to Chrtat. John 1:19-M. By William E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of the Congregatlonalist For one who would understand the origin- and the growth of the Christian church in its early days, and, in fact, the process by which the church has grown from a small group of disciples gathered round a teacher to a world wide Christendom formally, at least, acknowledging Christ as its head, there is no more instructive chapter than this in which this lesson is found. , Here, very simply and yet with graphic vividness, is told the story how Jesus began to gather around Him disciples. And here also is revealed that impulse which ‘has always been at work in those who have been most truly Christian when they have found Christ themselves to bring others to Him. The very keynote of this lesson is found in the forty-second verse in the words, “He brought him to Jesus.” The reference Is to Andrew, who, having found Christ, had gone and found his brother, Simon Peter, and brought him to the Master. Going for Nathanael A few verses farther on we read h>w Philip found Christ and immediately went to find Nathanael that he might bring him also to Jesus. The brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, a very effective organization in the modern church in interesting men in the Gospel and in bringing them to Christ, has found the inspiration for its foundation in this story of these early desdples bringing others to Jesus. There Is much In this Incident that gives up food for thought. There is the suggestion of the immeasurable effect of faithful service. A disciple may have himself n<> great distinction or ability, there may be nothI
little one-room cabin and asked if they could stay that night. The ojwner of the cabin appeared to be a rough, uncouth man, who reluctantly agreed to take them in- After the simple meal he pointed to a ladder which led to a scuttle-hole In the loft, and told the visitors they would find pallets up there. They crawled up and held a whispered consultation. They concluded they were In the home of one of the robbers, who would likely summon his confederates. One of them was left to watch while the others, after placing their pistols within easy reach, retired. Soon the watcher heard a low voice below and was sure the band had gathered. Before arousing his companions he decided to crawl to the scuttle-hole find see how many there were. By the dim light of the dying embers he saw the old man kneeling on one side of the hearth, and his wife on the other. The old gentleman was praying, and before he concluded he said, ‘O, Lord, bless the strangers who are In our home tonight.’ The watcher awoke his companions and said, ‘Boys, you may put up your pistols, he Is praying! There Is no need to fear a man who prays.’ ” (Copyright, 1926, by John R. Gunn.)
operation of various charities In a single money-raising drive. Money raising by individual chartileg costs from 15 to 25 per cent or more of the subscriptions. A year ago the expense of the Community Fund campaign only amounted to 7 per cent of the subscriptions—and the expense of the drive last fall was even less. So more than 93 cents of each dollar subscribed will reach the object for which It was subscribed, while under the old individual charity drive plan only about 75 cents of each dollar subscribed actually was expended In charity. Putting charity on a business basis, through the Community Fund, pays In dollars and cents. It enables each generous dollar to travel farther and do more good.
THEY ALL WANT OUT SHE State pardon board at its January session will consider 161 petitions for clemency filed by Inmates of Indiana penal institutions. This Is one of the largest dockets In the history of the board. \ Apparently about all the prisoners now confined want out Immediately. The list discloses some interesting details. Ten murderers, who have been Imprisoned from one to seventeen years under life sentence, believe they have expiated their crimes. An auto thief, who has served lees than two months of a three-year term, petitions for release. A moonshiner after two months of a one-year term feels he should be liberated. And so it goes. Probably not many of the petitioners will gain freedom. Indiana has no “Ma" Ferguson In the gubernatorial chair. But some of the pleas will be granted. The fact that every month so many clemency petitions are filed proves that imprisonment Is a real punishment. It Is society’s most effective weapon to discourage malefactors. Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, In addressing his legislature the other day, said: "Misdirected sympathy and the highly developed expert ness of penologists, reformers and parole advocates who have lost sight of the protection of the public and concentrated on the reformation of the criminal have aided to crime.” He puts In neatly. The answer to crime is punishment, Imprisonment. A criminal behind the bars can’t practice his profession and the public Is protected.
ing that marks his life as unusual, and yet he may be the means of bringing to Christ someone of remarkable abilities who becomes a great leader In the work of furthering Christianity. Andrew seems to have been a somewhat inconspicuous disciple; at least we know very little concerning him, but we cannot forget that it was Andrew who brought Peter to Jesus and concerning Peter we know a great deal. The prevailing opinion among scholars today is that Nathanael is to be identified with Bartholomew, who is named among the twelve apostles. Open Minded It would seem rather strange if Nathanael, who came into this early group, should not have been one of the twelve. He appears to have been a man of unusual open mindedness and sincerity of character. Though he expressed a certain popular prejudice against Nazar reth, he was perfectly willing to accept Philips wise reply to the question, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazarth?” which was, “Come and see.’’ Will there come a time when every Christian will feel the Intense responsibility that Andrew and Philip felt for proclaiming the good news concerning Jesus? One does not need to be highly educated or trained to be an effective worker for Christ. People are unwise when they attempt tasks beyond their training or equipment, but the most effective evangel throughout the history of the Christian church has been that of the simple witness of experience when men and women who have found Christ and who have been blessed', in him have been willing simply And honestly to speak (jt all that they have found in him and
Great Audience Assured the Cherniavskys Here
A” | GREAT audience Is assured for the Columbia Club next —l' Thursday afternoon when Ona B. Talbot will present Leo, Jan and Mischel Chernlavsky in recital as the second Intime Concert of the season. The Cherniavskys’ dash and the magnetism of the young artists bring anew glamour to their Interpretation of the great masters’ works. Not only is their collective technique something to marvel at, but their most precious gift is the wonderful inspiration which they are able tc draw from their muslo. These triumphant young, but great, artists, have radiated their power over five continents, and the stories of their adventures sound like the “Arabian Nights.” Born In Russia of parents unable to procure for them an expensive musical education, they struck out as concert artists at about the age that the ordinary child comes to the use of reason and for twenty years they have carried the flag of their genius into twenty-eight countries. It is unique to find three great soloists such as Leo, Jan and Mischel Chernlavsky combining regularly to interpret trios. Their program always commences with trios, then each of the soloists makes his appearance • and the combination brings Its dynamic program to a conclusion with a final trio. -I- -I- -fSHE Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts will present the following pupils in a recital Wednesday evening, Jan. 13, 8:15 p. m, in the College Auditorium.

To the Editor of The Times: W'hen the papers stated a few days ago that on the following Tuesday there would be a “get together” meeting of east er.d Republicans and Democrats at a possum supper, I could not hep exclaiming, “The rolllenium ha3 come.” In the past, when carnivora and- rumlnatla met at a common festal board disaster always met the cud chewers. I remembered, however, that somewhere in Holy Writ was the blessed assurance that the time would come when the lion and the lamb should He down together 1 and the lamb still enjoy “life, liberty and Whe pursuit of happiness. A diligent search show that the much heralded. possum supper fulfills that 6000-yearold prophecy which says: “The tirere will sleep with sheep and routs, “And wolves know not the taste of shoats; “The hawk and eagle soaring above "Will refuse to eat the cooing dove: "Then roses rare will have no thorns. "And unlooms be minus home; "The lions will play with peaceful rams, "And frolic with the little lambs." E. P. MeOASLIN.

Age does not wither nor custom stale the infinite variety of his playing of Chopin.

THE CHARLESTON To the Editor of The Times: Sometime ago I read an announcement of a dance to be given at a public dance hall, saying plainly that no Charleston would be allowed. On the same page was another announcement of an entertainment the same night at Shortridge High School saying prizes would be given 1 to the best Charleston dancer. Is it possible that our schools are teaching something that the muchabused public dance hall condemns? It is true that the halls of learning of our fair city are inferior to those of Virginia? Here is what William and Mary College of Williamsburg, Va., has to say: “The Charleston, the latest step to invade the dance hall, is barred. Dance should emphasize grace and beauty, and as the latest dance fad preserves neither, it should have no place on the program of college dances. GEORGIA LANE.

A Woman’s Viewpoint
This Is 1926 By Mrs. Waiter Ferguson SHE Rt. Rev. Monslgnor C. F. Thomas lately told an audlI once that “Woman wants today just what she has always wanted, marriage with some man who’ll make her obey.” And the rector Is correct. Women do want marriage, and they do want husbands who can exact obedience. But the trouble is, the standards of matrimony and of husbands hat's so changed. Just any sort at marriage will never satisfy the modem woman. She wants a marriage that brings into her life some of the romance of which she has dreamed, some of the companionship which her heart craves, some of the happiness for which she has always longed. She Is never satisfied with mere physical union, but would have that finer contact of the spirit. For our grandmothers marriage often meant only a material home, a over their heads, bread to eat, p.nd children to cuddle In their armg. And many of them found their only compensation In the last mentioned Joy. Because of these changed standards It Is much more difficult to be a good husband in this than It was bock In the matrimonially prehistoric age of Victoria. In fact, even a prejudiced observer must sometimes feel compassion for men, Who find their traditions so upset, and who are obliged to face so many new conditions. But all the wailings we, do will never change the facts. It is no longer possible for a man to neglect his wife and home and expect to keep them. It is not possible for him to act with no consideration sot the feelings of the family, to bs unduly stingy with them financially, to impose his will too heavily upon them, to be art autocrat unless h* does so with Justice. He can no longer rule unless he rules with love. And this Is why we live In such a time of matrimonial stress. Too many people do not comprehend what is a very' obvious stats of affairs. For while the modem woman has both feet planted very firmly in this twentieth century and is true to its standards, too many poor husbands, who like to Jazs and Joyride and take unto themselves all the privileges of the more ad vanced age still exist, as far as theli marriages are concerned, back In the dark ages.
