Coolidge, Dawes, Bankers, Bread, Electric Power and Grocery Clerks!

OMONG the few social invitations the Presideni>may accept is dinner with the Vice President. On such occasions the President,, so Ituth Finney informs us, must first see and approve the names of the other guests. A week or two ago Vice President Dawes entertained President Coolidgo. The other guests were: Dwight Morrow—J. P. Morgan & Cos. Owen D. Young—General Electric Cos. James G. Harbord —Radio Corporation of America. Three very estimable gentlemen. Three very able and honest men. Three men representative of institutions engaged in gathering to themselves the financial and economic power of the world. • • # SHERE is a card game, familiar to many readers, called penny ante. The white chips sell for a penny, the red chips for a nickel, and the blue chips for a dime. A player pushes into the pot as many chips as he thinks his hand is worth, compared to the hands of the other players. Where the hands appear to be even, on the face of things, the player with a small stack of white chips is easily crowded out by the players with a supply of blues. And as the little fellows drop out there is always some wag present to remark: “Out go the grocery clerks!” * t t mHERE were no grocery clerks present at the dinner Dawes gave for Coolidge. Either there were none on the invitation list submitted by Dawes for approval or else Coolidge crossed them off. All of us grocery clerks were crowded out before that game began. It would have been interesting if we could have heard the discussions of these five men. What would three men representing economic power in America have to say to the two men representing political power! No sinister plotting. No getting of heads together and whispering slick schemes for extorting money from the public. Nothing like that. Morrow, Young and Harbord are not that kind of men. Take Harbord, for Instance. He is the same General Harbord who served with such distinction in the Great War, a man rated by many as the ablest of all in the American Army. A man without a blot on his reputation. He could direct an army or a group of armies. Can he direct the Radio Corporation of America? Yes and no. As well as any man, perhaps. But the Radio Cbrporation is a bigger thing than Harbord and is itself in the grip of something still bigger. This is the grip of our present economic tendency toward greater and greater consolidation of financial, industrial and commercial power. Harbord, aa president of the corporation, may think he is directing its course, but he isn’t; he is just riding along. He cannot command in the sense he could command an army. , The same things might he said of Owen D. Young and Dwight Morrow in their respective fields. They are in the grip of something bigger than themselves, something bigger than the big institutions they represent. Their instinct for making money, their genius for organization, their faith in themselves have brought them into their present positions of blind leadership. They have gone a long way, but it isn’t at all certain they know where they are going. • • • mHE Socialists have a theory that in due time private capital will have become completely consolidated. The Rockefellers first will have all the oil, the Garys and Schwabs all the steel and iron, somebody all the railroads, somebody else all the textiles and so on. Then the Morgans, or some others, owning all the banks will likewise come to own all the industries. Then, with everything organized into one machine, with all waste eliminated, the people, through the Government, will take over the whole works. Socialism will be possible and it will work. Maybe the Socialists are right and that is what we are headed for. Nobody can say, for the thing never yet has happened in human history. The recent announcement o£ a two-billion-dollar food combine has cheered some theoretical Socialists-vastly. The day the newspapers printed William B. Ward’s plan to absorb all the bakeries and groceries, they saw the Socialist millennium coming right down the road. • • • SF the Socialists are right, they were wrong when, and if, they voted against Calvin Coolidge. No man ever in the Whits House has done more to hasten the process of consolidation.

His latest efforts have been devoted to the aid of consolidated capital in the electric industry. He is bent on turning over to this private capital the great power project at Muscle Shoals. A committee of the United States Senate was engaged in seeking some safeguard for the people in the process of givjng up the enterprise for which their money had paid. Coolidge called the Senators to the White House and told them to- stop obstructing the scheme. The Senators stopped obstructing—for the moment, at least. There is every chance that Coolidge means well, even though the methods he has to use are not very pretty. He sacrificed some of the dignity of his office when he called those Senators in to tell them they must quit interfering with the plan to let the private power interests have Muscle Shoals. But he may believe this is necessary. And whatever encouragement he may be giving the Socialist or other radical dreamers, it is fairly certain that it is not intentional. • • • mN the matter of the bread trust, now seeking public sanction by proposing to devote the crumbs from its table to the welfare of its customers, Coolidge may see more clearly. The danger there is more obvious than in the case of oil or transportation or electric power. Even Morrow, Young and Harbord probably are shaking their heads at the thought of all our food being placed in the control of one man or one corporation. • • • iyi ELL, what about it all? If complete domination by private capital is to be feared and if the Socialist millennium is a long way off, what can we grocery clerks do about it ? Possibly this: We might, as a people, through our Government, hold on to what we’ve got. We might hold on to those valuable resources which private capital hasn’t yet seized. The best example at the motaent, of course, i§ Muscle Shoals, although it occupies only one of a thousand valuable power sites available in America. We can put Muscle Shoals—developed already with our money—to work for all the people and all the industries of that section. Later we can do the same with our remaining power sites. Every public power project thus far attempted in America has been successful. They have all made money. Seattle, Tacoma, Cleveland, Los Angeles have proved that cities lan do this job successfully, can produce light and power, sell it cheaply—and make money. The Canadian province of Ontario has proved it on an even bigger scale. The principal thing that has been proved, in the American cities, by these public power plants has been the value of competition In every city named and in some others the city projects have compelled the private concerns to bring down their prices. Private power sells 6s cheaply in Seattle, for instance, as public power. And the private concern makes money. In nearbj\cities where there is no public competition, prices are very much higher. In some cases prices are two and three times as high. For a generation now the Government has been trying through anti-trust laws to compel private capital to compete with itself. The failure has been pretty complete. Seattle, Cleveland and the other cities named have compelled private capital to compete with public capital. The success has been just as complete. The best of service has been given and the lowest of rates charged. Nobody has lost money, not even private capital—its prbfits have merely been brought within reason. * • • SHE Socialist dreams of a time when every enterprise will be so consolidated that the Government can' easily take it over. The red radical dreams of the time when the people, their patience worn ragged by private exploitation, will rise in their wrath and destroy the capitalistic system. Neither is a very comforting dream just now. We grocery clerks might forestaU both if we’d use the business sense that any grocery elerlt ought to have. We know that competition produces fair prices and fair dealing. It is only a question of how to bring competition about. A few cities have shown the way. Have we intelligence enough to apply the simple lesson?

WEEKLY SCHOOL LESSON Jesus Christ Considered as the Light of the World

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 7: Je*u* Christ, the Light of the World: Jesus Heals ami Save* a Blind Man.—John 11:1-0. 24. 25, 35-38. BY WM. E. GILROY, D- D. Editor of The Congregationalism mHE beautiful story'of our lesson follows very fittingly the announcement of Jesus recorded in the preceding chapter of John's Gospel which Is the Golden Text of this lesson: “I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk In darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Jesus apparently was referring here to spiritual darkness and spiritual light, but our lesson tells hiw a man was brought from both spiritual and physical darkness Into the llg.it of life, to see the world round about him, and to see the beauties of that other spiritual world not always perceived even by those whose physleal vision an oculist might pronounce perfectly sound. Blindness Is a strange and pathetic tragedy of life. * For a man bom blind to receive his sight must be essentially like a new birth; only a birth In which one has come suddenly and without a long process of development into the experiences of adult life. / Asking Why It Is natural that blindness become an occasion of questioning the meaning of life’s providences.

Opera to Be Given at English’s

A. F. Miller today announced that the Manhattan Opera Company, with its first lino artists, will open a three-day engagement at English's on Monday night, Feb. 15. "Madam Butterfly’’ will be the opening bill of the engagement. Ada Paggi, the noted Italian soprano, who is appearing with the Manhattan Opera Company of New York this season, on its initial midwinter tour to Florida, has in her brief operatic experence achieved international fame. Bom In Milan, Paggi was educated and made her operatic debut in her home city, shortly after which she was presented with renowned artists in Parss, Vienna and Berlin, winning a reputation seldom attained in the first year of stardom, even among her own countrymen, who havt broken almost all records of one distinction or another in grand opera achievement. On her reefnt trips to South America, where she appeared In nearly all of the leading opera houses with Martlnelli, Tito Russo, and Tito Schipa, the youthful artist became a veritable idol in those music centers. These successes were later repeated In Central America, through which she toured. Paggi Is well-known to American audiences through several concert tours and her engagements in sum mer opera at Ravinla Park. Chicago, as well, as operatic tours when she sang with her sister, Tina Paggi, the coloratura soprano. While with the Manhattan Opera Company, Ada Paggi will assume the leading mezzo role, her favorite characterization being that of Suzuci in "Madam Butterfly,” in which she

The proceeds of the concert will be used to pay thp expenses of four deserving girls who otherwise would be denied the advantages of a high school education. Mrs. Stacla B. Staley, chairman of the ways and tneans committee of the Altrusa Club is In charge of the arrangements for the concert. Under her direction members of the club have sold a large number of seats. Those remaining have been placed on sale at the book store of W. K. Stewart & Cos., 44 E. Washington St. The Altrusa Club officers believe they are presenting a musical entertainment that contains an appeal to persons who at p not musically inclined as well as those who are talented or versed in appreciation of better music. Basile Kibalchich, under whose direction the Russian choral organization will appear, is known throughout Europe as a composer and conductor. • * * “T~I VIOLIN recital will be given iUk at the Academy of Music, by '——l George Enesco at 3 p. m. He will be presented by the Indianapolis Maenn-'rchor. Enesco has long been regarded in Europe as one of the few great outstanding figures. Enesco made his first visit to America in 1923, appearing with the Philadelphia Orchestra in New

Why la one smitten with this affliction while others have unusual keenness of vision? Why should one be born with such serious limitation? The disciples were concerned about these things, and they asked what seemed to be rather a foolish question, “Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?” How could the man himself have sinned before his birth? The question seems to suggest that they had a notion of pre-existence, and that man’s situation In this life, was determined In some measure by what he had done in a previous existence. There Is, of course, no need for us to turn aside such Unenlightening speculations. The late John G. Woolley, In a great temperance address which he delivered in various parts of the country, used to lay great stress on tho -opening sentence in fhls story. He emphasized the fact that .Tesus saw the blind man and pointed out that the failure of many people to give adequate service to their fellow men arises from the fact that they never see tho need. Iu fact, he suggested that too often we deliberately close our eyes to the unpleasant facts of life. We try to forget that there are blind, or poor, or suffering, and needy, people. And the philosophy of our shallow contentment is too often, “out of sight out of mind.” But Jesus saw the blind man. He saw him likewise exactly as he was, and with all the passion to help him of which the Son of God was capable. The miracle and the method of the miracle need not be discussed. W® cannot understand the power that Jesus exercised In healing or In giving sight to the blind. TJiere would be no such thing as a miracle If we could explain It or understand it. Men’s Speculations The Interest of the story goes beyond the restoration of sight to the blind man to the mans clear experience and to the ridiculous discussions of men who wanted to speculate rather than to see the facts. 8o concerned were some of these people for bending the facts to their theories that they endeavored to persuade the blind man that his sight had been restored to him by a man who was a sinner. They could noj deny the blind man’s Identity, they could not deny tha* the man who formerly had been blind now clearly had his sight so they said, ‘‘Give glory to God; we know that this man Is a sinner.” The blind man’s testimony, however, rings dear and true, and it ought to have vital suggestion for our testimony today, "Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one

Everywhere he was received by large and enthusiastic audiences, quick to recognize the remarkable quality of his musicianship. He returned to America for the season of 1923-24, appearing twice with the New York State Symphony Orchestra, five times with the Ntw York Symphony, twice with the Cleveland Symphony, and twice again with the Philadelphia Orchestra, in addition to many recitals. On all of these occasions he confirmed the supreme sucess of his previous season In America. Asa result, he was speciality engaged for the Pittsfield Festival of September, 1924, with necessitated a special journey from Roumanla to Pittsfield and return. Os the Plttsgeld Festival, his performances were the outstanding successes: The months of January, February, March and April, Enesco returns for his third consecutive American season, which includes his first visit to the Pacific Coast. Very rarely does an artist make such Instantaneous and continuous successes as Enesco has made In America during the brief period since January, 1922.

thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.” ■. It is not in specuration but In the clear witness of experience that religion attains its power and Its triumph. We should very soon have a different world if every inan could have so clear an experience of vision through Christ and could go out hearing his testimony. • “A man called Jesusu made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.” A man that is called Jesus! The methods of his healing and enlightenment may vary, but the fact is always the same. Would God that we might find him and that our whole world might be changed through nim who Is the light of the world!

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA 1 By GAYLORD NELSON

RAILROADS IN INDIANA mNDIANA has within its borders 7,198 miles of main track railroad, or 3 1 per cent of the total main line mileage of the nation, according to a report on the State’s transportation facilities made by the bureau of business research, Indiana University. As the Hoosler State includes Only 1.2 per cent of the Nations* area we have two and onehalf times the average railroad mileage of equal areas. Ti msportatlon facilities? That’s our middle name. Practically every important trunk line from the Middle West to the Atlantic seaboard traverse! the State- Likewise several of the Important railroad links connecting the Middle West with Florida'and the Gulf coast cross Indiana. The industrial development of a region is more dependent on transportation facilities than any other single factor. It isn’t exactly true that the world will beat a path to the door of the man who makes a superlative mouse trap. His mousetrap trade will languish If he Is not conveniently located to put his product on the market. Indiana has the transportation facilities. It Is the center of population. It has coal find is near raw material sources. With commercial clubs and similar organizations displaying any activity whatever it seems almost Impossible for the State to avoid becoming a great industrial center. It need only greet destiny politely and let logic of location do the work. , PLAYGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN mHE Indianapolis park board In a report to Mayor Duvall, Thursday, outlined its 1926 development program for the city park and boulevard system. Among the projects are seven more children’s playgrounds. Last year there were forty supervised playgrounds maintained by the park board.

portant than the maintenance anP extension of the playground system. Parka with velvety, clipped greensward, flower beds and artistic landscaping are beautiful. Thesiytnd winding boulevards add much to the oily’s attractiveness. But they aren’t as necessary to community welfare aa tho playgrounds. Children must play In the open alt. There they find tho spry ozone molecules and convert atmosphere Into rod corpuscles. In Indianapolis an In all cities with densely populated areas, how children may lie provided with facK. Itlos for healtlgv outdoor play with safety Is a problem. Too often they play In the streets and attempt to pursue health In the midst of traffic with frequent distressing accidents. The wheels of a five-ton truck passing over a youngster longitudinally while he is pursuing his Inalienable right to ' play does neither him, the pavement nor traffic any good. The answer to the problem of play and safety Is municipal playgrounds. adequately supervised, .scattered throughout the city and readily accessible. There children can play In .perfect security—as is attested by the fact that not a rierious accident occurred on - any of our city playgrounds last year. Extension of the playgrouruL system will pay.

THE BANDITS INCENTIVE “TTjNDREW CARR, I#, "mid get bandit’ who, upon cap1 ture by Indianapolis police the other day, calmly confessed to holding up three drug stores in the city in the past two weeks, possessed a part automobile, a disinclination to work and a re volver. There’s the answer to his crime career. He had never been in the hold up business before he came to Indianapolis from Detroit a month ago, he said. He arrived here with money and a revolver of his uncle’s. His money he spent as down payment on an automobile, with other payments due regu larly. "When I to get hard up, that gun laying around kept putting this hold-up Idea In my head,” he explained. "At first I tried to put the idea aside. Finally l just gave up trying to forget the idea and decided to commit a hold-up as an experiment. The first one ; was so easy I decided t® try some ] more,” Erudite professors and authoriI ties on penology and the social | causes underlying crime might ! write ponderous volumes on the why and wherefore of the present juvenile banditry. That singlj paragraph above covers the sul" jeet more thoroughly than a whole book. There Is the complete story of the birth, rise, fall and psychology of the bandit. A disinclination to work, a partpaid automobile, and an easily procurable revolver. Mix. The result is a holdup. The easily procurable gun Is the vital ingredient in the recipe. APPEALS AND DELAY f T'iTTORNEY GENERAL Oil. HIOM told a gathering of L—J the Terre Haute Bar Asso elation that the increasing conges ♦ion of the docket of the Indiana Supreme Court and the growing number of appeals in criminal case is seriously delaying Justice He suggested It might be neces sary to limit the right of appeal. Prosecutor ReVny of Marlon County, recently said almost the same thing. He declares the right of appeal is grossly abused until it is simply a device to delay sentence, another means of permitting a criminal with money to evade the law. Apparently the views of these two legal officers are substantiated by the facts. Last year 216 cases were pealed to the Indiana Supreme Court while only 109 wehe disposed of by that tribunal. So practically 1 half of the cases taken to that. court are assured of a delay ofl more than a year before they can lie hoard. And in the last sis years the numtx* - of criminal caatf appealed increased 700'per coflli In less than one-third of the criminal cases appealed since 1918 has the Supreme? Court reversed the trial court. Which would Indicate that two-thirds of the appeals were on flimsy grounds, not for the purpose of rectifying miscarriages of Justice but to. delay and evade on technicalities. Bftr associations frequently be wall the fact that our courts ary notfunctioning properly. They discus/ at length Improvements In court procedure and Judicial machinery. The principal reason courts are functioning satisfactorily is due to the lawyers themselves. They are throwing monkey wrenches into the machinery by unnecessary appeals and dilatory tactics. ,

Is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, sectarian? Are the operations by the Mayor Brothers performed there? It is not sectarian. It consists of a central cllnlo building owned and operated by the Mayo brothers in which they have a large number of specialists. The Mayo Institute has contracts to use the operating rooms in a number of hospitals in Rochester and no operations, except minor ones, are performed at the Institution Itself.
