KNOW YOU ESTATE INDIANA utilities have maintained a financial strength and measure of service that compares favorably with the first in the Nation. Much of this achievement is attributed by students of economics to the State public service commission law.

W ANTED —A MAN! Certainly somewhere in this city is a man who has the courage and the vision to lead a movement to settle the controversy between the street car company and Vt large portion of its workers. There is hut one issue in this matter and one cause of trouble. That is the question of wages. Satisfied feien do not strike and quit their jobs at the urge of organizers for unionism. Any effort to say that the trouble was caused by agitators from abroad is, on its face, false. If these men who struck are chronic pessimists, all wrong, all disturbers, the fact could be easily demonstrated by an inquiry into the wage scale paid by the company. These men get from 37 to 42 cents an hour. The street cai management is wrong when it says that it pays the wages of thesg men. The wages of these men, the wages, of the men who are now on duty, that $2 a day bonus being given t 9 them, come from the people who ride the street cars. It is the people who ride these cars who must be interested in knowing whether they entrust their lives and safety to men tvho are less than a decent wage, less than it requires for them to live in decency and respectability. The company merely collects the wages for the men, along with other money that it collects for dividends and the operation of its lines. One thing alone is certain. The men and women who ride the cdts do not want to ride with hungry men, with men who have less than a decent wage. The policy of the company to crush these men through arrogant use of the police force is not the right or decent way to settle this question. Any policy of the men to terrify the people of this city by violence, driving them from the cars through fear, is an even worse mistake. • Turning the police force into Cossacks to terrify the workers never settles such a question. Bolshevism, through dynamite caps and bricks, is not the way to get justice. It might seem that in all this city there would be one*man of such outstanding integrity and sense of Justice to whom both the company and these men would trust their cause. One man of such character could lead the sentiment of this city to a peaceful and a permanent settlement. ' One man could organize a group of public spirited men to investigate all the conditions, if the public service commission refrains from action, and tell the people who ride these cars whether they are under the care of men who are underpaid. Or it could tell them that they are paying a fair wage for such service and that the protest is ; without merit and without justice. This strike is not a private war between the company and these employes, despite the fact that the company attempts to make it such by an assumption that the men who went on strike are no longer its employes. If these men were justified in their demands, it will be but a short time until men who may replace them will feel the s|me pressure. If they were not justified, the company, through advertisement of its fairness, will have no trouble in securing all the competent men it needs to run the cars. Where is the man who can a,nd will organize an impartial and fair inquiry into the real causes and the real conditions? Surely Indianapolis has such a citizen if he will but act.

WELCOME, BROTHER No one apparently knew that there had been any taking of the whisky In Federal custody In Indianapolis till the charge—later substantiated —was made by Representative La Guardia of New York. Since then three men have pleaded guilty, and will, it is supposed, suffer the penalty fortheir crime. But It will be a miscarriage of Justice if the investigation stops here. No one, we suppose, believer, that these three men —a janitor, a night watchman and an engineer—acted solely for themselves in the abstrac; tion of 330 cases of whisky. Such a belief could be entertained only by the most trusting and credulous. That there were principals seems reasonably certain. At any rate, the facts as they have been developed point to that conclusion. The situation as it stands is a challenge to the authorities, one which, of course, will be accepted. Who got the whisky, anyway?—Editorial, Indianapolis News, July 9. The Times is glad to rbprint from the Indianapolis News the above editorial taken from its issue of Friday. It is glad because there has come an echo to the demands which The Times has been making from that first day when a Socialist Congressman disclosed what the Federal judge from this district declared to be a most “infamous disgrace” to Indiana. Just that the people of this city and this State may know upbn what basis the above direct charge against the Federal forces of this city is made, let there be repeated this history: Congressman La Guardia made his charge upon the floor of Congress that 330 cases of whisky, seized by the Government, were missing from the Federal building in this city. The Times, and The Times alone, called attention to this grave charge. It secured from Marshal Linus P. Meredith the statement that the charge was false and that no whisky was missing. On the following day it secured from Marshal Linus P. Meredith, in whose custody the whisky was placed, the v statement that no one could tell whether any whisky was taken because the officers who seized it had never taken an inventory. On the following day ' The Times printed a statement from Bert Morgan, former prohibition director, that more than two years ago an investigator from Washington had discovered that 220 cases of whisky were then missing. The investigator, said Mr. Morgan, was speedily out of service. On the next day The Times printed a court

record showing that United States Marshal Linus P. Meredith had*signed, upon the record of the court a receipt not only for a specified number of cases of whisky, but for odd bottles of whisky. Thereafter he has made no statements. The trial is still fresh in public ihemory. Three Negroes confessed to the crime. Two of them said that they had' taken twenty cases. On the final day of trial or sentence, another'Negro came into court and made a confession which could be easily construed as meaning that he had taken all the rest of it. The Times has repeatedly referred to the harshness of the sentences passed upon these three Negroes who confessed to taking approximately SBO,OOO worth of whisky from the Federal building in this city and turned it into bootleg channels. It has called attention to the fact that one of these men is serving, after a brief respite, four months in the county jail. It called attention to the fact that a second of these men must serve six months for participation in the theft of SBO,OOO worth of whisky taken from Federal custody. It has called attention to the fact* that the third must spend a year and a day in a Federal prison for his confession. This really means about four months. Aftef this full disclosure, The Times is .now informed that not only The Times, but the judge, the Federal prosecutor, the Federal grand jury, the Department of Justice and even the President of the United States are "trusting and credulous." It is suggested by the chief supporter of Senator James Watson, in turn the sponsor for all these Federal officials, that any one is a fool to believe that these Negroes” who were given these severe sentences are alone guilty. The direct charge is made that "That there were principals is reasonably certain.” The editorial is, in effect, a charge that these three Negroes did not steal the whisky and that there were others, much higher in the social ancL official scale, who did. Under this charge of his official organ against his own appointees, where will Senator Watson stand in this fight for decency and for the protection of the fair name of Indiana? Will he urge that anew effort be made to disclose the “principal” now charged in this case? Will he demand from the President of the United States an inquiry into all the facts? WHI be ask that the principal, whom The Times has never suggested, be brought to court? And if not, why not? Who are these “principals,” than those who are serving these sentences for the theft of SBO,OOO worth of whisky? Will any one dare to leave that Negro Janitor in jail for four long months if he but responded to someone above him in power? Will the President not release at once that man who is serving a year and a day if he but lied to save his benefactors? Well, anyhow, who did get that whisky?

We all make trouble and then wonder why we have it If you want to quit drinking permanently, Just stay sober until you get out of debt The worst thing about the dirty plays In New York is they show what the audience likes. It would be great if we could live backwards; be born old and grow a day younger every day. Some people couldn’t kick any more if they were centipedes. Once they kissed and made up. Now they kiss the makeup. i Women who marry to become pets usually lead a dog’s life.

Show this to your wife. - LITTLE GROWN-UPS By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A 12-year-old girl of New York City Is ready for college. Poor little thing! Hers is a hard fate. Fqr the infartt prodigy nearly always/occupies an obscure grave. Most of those we hear about develop Into ordinary citizens, and whatever their talents, few of them make a mark in the world. In spite of this fact, however, the rapid way in which we hurry our children through school is one of thp tragedies of the age. We will start Johnny to kindergarten before he is out of bibs, and we are vastly proud If he is through high school at 14. We consider that we have added to the glory of nations if he is the youngest graduate in his college class. For, after all, the most of this educational marathon is done to appease the vanity of foolish parents. Now this poor little 12-year-old, who may Indeed be a mental wonder, will miss a lot of jOy. She will • finish college while still a mere youngster and wiii never have any delightful contacts with other children because they will stand in such awe of her and for the reason that she will always be thrown with older boys and girls. Long ago, back in old England, Sir John Evelyn, through his famous diary, tells about his little son, a boy so pious and literary and learned that he astounded all the neighbors. He could read his Bible in infancy and the story of his wise sayings at the age of 4 are quite pathetic coming 'from the lips of a baby. But he died at 5. And no wonder. Any youngster who could mouth the wisdom of forty at four had better be dead, fcr this world is surely not the place for him. Children should be given of time for growth and education. You can’t ram learning Into them. They should have leisure in childhood and not be forever crammed with things out of books. They should be allowed to develop naturally and simply like plants in the sun. A We hive, of a surety, some records of infant prodigies who made great men as, for instance, Mozart in music, and Montaigne in literature, but for the most our over-intellectual children do not make much of a stir in the world. Sudden mental growth often ceases at adolescence. Slow and regular development is best, after a}l, for surely notliing is more pitiful than a wise and grown-up little clMd.

Tracy A Policeman Tells What’s What in the Subway Strike.

By M. E. Tracy I talked with a police officer about the Subway etrike last night in one of the underground stations where he was on duty. He spoke with the shrewd sense of those who have an Irish brogue and know their New York. “It is tough on us,” he said, “but we are used to it. There is always some kind of labor trouble in this town. Too- much crowding, too much discontent, too much wanting something for nothing, too much cheap politics. ; ‘I have not been home since the Fourth and some days I have put In twenty hours, with only time* enough off to snatch a bite or nap in a chair. "There are'6,ooo of us in the samb boat and, a 100 times as many Just as bad off. I see them all the while —shop girls, taking an extra hour to get home and hanging to straps at that, after being on their feet all day. Clerks, stenographers, office help and factory workers up an hour earlier than they ought to be, and still worried for fear they Won’t be able to punch to clock in time. "Os course, the boys should get an Increase—no man caii raise a family in this town on six dollars a day—but” how can they if the politicians keep saying that a 6-cent fare is all right? How can a 5-cent fare be all right when everything else has gone up? “The same reason that a motorman can not live on what he used to proves that a subway can not run on what it used to. At least, that is the way I look at It.” •I- I- IHe Needs a Friend Better by far, had the President not caught that fish, and better by far, had his secretary not intimated that It weighed three pounds, though only fifteen inches long.' No matter how expert the presidential party may be with rod and reel, somebody has gone wrong with regard to the correct proportion of length to poundage. Fishermen, Jealous of the truth, as always, have been quick to seize on the discrepancy of politicians, glad of an issue from any source, can be depended on to do likewise. Mr. Coolidge, fortunately, has taken the White House spokesman with him. There is no. story so subject to cavil or criticism as the fish story, and no man is in greater need of friends to shoulder the responsibility than he who undertakes to father one. / ++ + 7 Pleasure Vehicles No one a hearse as a pleasure vehicle. ’ On the other hand, no one thinks a hearse ought to be barred from a street that has been restricted to the use of pleasure vehicles. The silly wording of a regulation, therefore, makes a silly decision inevitable, as was proved In New York yesterday when a magistrate found himself obliged to classify a hearse as a pleasure vehicle in order to save the driver from being punished" for using a street where only pleasure vehicles were allowed. -I- f -IDisjointed India India Is no longer united. Religious Intolerance has risen to spoil the common cause of freedom, perhaps to prove that the time is not ripe for It. pindu and Moslem have come to monopolize public opinion with their quarrels and bickerings, dragging their age old controversy Into court and legislative hall and provoking riot, ill-feeling and bloodshed over a wide area. The universal God, the God of Love, still remains to be conceived and worshipped by the multitudes, whether in the Ehst, or In the West, whether, as Pagans, or Christians. •I- -I’ -IHighbrow Argument In remarking that at most only a dozen writers had become immortal during the last 2,500 years, Sir Rudyard Kipling has given the highbrows something else to argue about. Already lists have been compiled to prove that the immortal dozen wouldn't take us down to Dante, or Shakespeare, though, as usual, there is poor accord in the choice. We may expect as great and as useless a controversy as arose when H. G. Wells named his six "greatest men,” or as we get every year over the all-star American football team.

Doctoring by Radio We get much of radio as a vehicle of Jazz and propaganda, as good for an evening’s entertainment. That is because of the way it is generally employed, not because of the way It can be employed. Men of the sea and men on the battle front know radio in a larger way and appreciate what it holds in store for the human race more keenly. At 7 o’clock last Thursday night, the U. S. liner. President Roosevelt, caught a message from an oil tanker somewherA beyhnd the horizon. A sailor on that tanker had bfld his tooth pulled and for some reason which the fhnker’s doctor could not understand was .dying with hemorrhage. The Roosevelt’s doctor, of longer and wider experience, radioed instructions by which the fatal flow of blood was stopped in two hours.

George Gershwin Asks for a Serious Appraisal of the Jazz Controversy

r~~q OES jazz belong to art?” [j I asks George Gershwin, the I jazz composer, in the July issue of Singing, the musical magazine. As the foremost writer of syncopated music, he insists upon a serious appraisal of the jazz controversy. "No student of singing can afford any longer to ignore jazz music,” declares Mr. Gershwin, “or to sniff ;ft it as a thing of low estate and negative cultural value. The study and practice of jazz has a very important contribution to mak? toward the complete training of any “modem disciple of the musical art. It can be of--positive benefit to the vocalist in every department of his profession. The new understanding of rhythm which it imparts will slnjplify and amplify all his repertoire/” The editor of Singing declines to indorse completely the composer’s viewpoint. “We present his article.” the editor comments, "not because v4e agree with him but simply because we wish to give a respectful hearing to the arguments of the foremost creative artist of the jazz school. We agree that Jazz is a vital of certain phases of our Triodem life, but it is a reflection of ugliness and clatter. \ "Mr. Gershwin is an earnest young musician with sophisticated ways. His earnestness and inventive gjfts set him In a special niche, and we look for a truly representative American operetta from his pen after the Jazz flood has subsided. Anyhow, we intend to be present when Mr. Gershwin and the mercuric Mine. d’Alvarez begin their invasion of our tranquil recital halls.” Mr. Gershwin invites controversy by presenting the following list of eleven Jazz songs as "suitable for concert use:” “Sir*n Sonr" .....Rem “Japanese Sandman” Whltinx-Eg-an ‘ St. Louis Blues Handy “Jazz City” . . . . Souvaine "International Raj" ...Berlin “I Want to Be Happy" Youmans “Carolina in the Morning” . .Donaldson "They Didn't Believe Me Kern "Stairway to Paradise" Gershwin

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ... ■■■ The Childhood and Education of Moses Told Here

The , International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for July 11. The Childhood and Education of Moees.—Exod. 2:1-10: Acts 7:22. By Wni. E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist ■This lesson is otherwise entitled “The Blessing of a Religious Home.” Ti gives us an insight into the parentage of Moses and into the heredity that lay back of the great liberator. In recent years the tendency in scientific circles has been toward placing the supreme emphasis upon heredity rather than environment in the determination o£ character. To take the view that heredity Is the only factor would seem to imply a hopeless attitude toward life and a nullifying of much Christian teaching, which has been that through the power of Christ men may find redemption even though they hTve had an evil heredity and are in an unfavorable environment. Moses’ Lineage It might, however, be questioned whether any man is without eler ments of a good heredity for the strains that enter into the individaul are manifold, and in the number and wide variety of ancestors, which are a few generations back of every life, surely there will be found many strains of good as well as of evil. Practically we dp, however, aee em-

phasized almost every day the value to a man of good forbears. The lineage of Moses, both on his father’s side and on his mother's, was in the house of Levi. This implied a consecrated relationship. Probably there ifrere indifferent and careless people in the house of Levi despite the special privilege and holiness of that house. But the mother of Moses was a good and resourceful woman not easily baffled even by the decrees of a Pharaoh. Mother-love did not destroy in her the capacity for action, she was willing to sacrifice her babe that she might save him, trusting to Providence after she had done her best. Hence she took her 3-months-old baby and placed him in an ark of bulrushes in the hope that his life might be spared. When we do our best and trust to Prov%ience things usually turn out for the best. The placing of the little babe in the ark and sending him adrift was the first heroic act in a record of heroic destiny. The child found a foster parent and a place in the highest home In the land. Here he found the learning and training that were to stand him in good stead in days to come.

KEEP MO FIT IS WARNING OF MOTORING BODY A. A. A. Gives Suggestions for Emergency Kit for Tourists. WASHINGTON, D. C.. July 10.— With every Indication that motor touring, and particularly long distance touring, will exc ed all previous records in volun e this year, the American Automobile Association today sounded a note of warning about the importance of keeping the car fit while en tour. The time to take precautions is before the tour starts, the A. A. A. warns, pointing out that otherwise the motorist is liable to let himself in for hurried repairs and incidental delays, which are liable to mar the tour. The warning stresses the necessity for three preparatory precautions—a thorqugh cleaning of the water circulation system, the assurance that the brakes are in perfect order, and the marshalling of good rubber. But these were only the high spots, the i. A. A. listing half a score of other suggestions, these being based on the experience of -the thousands of emergency road service stations maintained by the national motoring body and Its affiliated clubs. The tires should be either new or In first class condition, all cuts and abrasions having been filled with cement, and a reliable gauge to keep the pressure at a proper level should be tucked Into a side pocket. A dally five-minute inspection will prove a mighty Influence against tire trouble, the A. A. A. statement declared. It continues: “A thorough Inspection and overhauling of the car. with the motorist standing over the mechanic, will pay handsomely in freedom from vexatious delays and breakdowns. “Upon the lubrication will depend at least 80 per cent of the car’s service. Either determine definitely that the oils particularly suited to your car may be obtained en route, or take enough with you to last until you return. The same applies to gasoline. Always 1 Insist on a reliable, dependable brand. To insure continued efficient operation, go over the grease cups and other points of lubrication before starting each day’s trip. “The wise tourist carries at least two new spare tires complete with at least two spare tubes In waterproof and dustproof bags.’’ A comprehensive tool kit and a complete set of chains to prevent

But neither training nor environment could destroy in him the things that his mother had loved and prayed into his very being, and the passionate devotion of God and to his people,that was the heritage of a Godly lineage. The golden text, '‘Train up a child in the way he shall go and when he is old he will not depart from It,” has far more truth than people often realize. There are exceptions that nullify the rule, for the children of good people are not always good. Good people, however, do not always show courage and common sense in. the training of their children. Sometimes they allow the evil environment to nullify all the benefits of heredity. In the broad revelation of life it will -be found that the writer in Proverbs was substantially correct./ At any rate, we see quite clearly that the courage, determination, and willingness to sacrifice himself that were the deepest characteristics In Moses, were a very direct heritage from the mother who bore and nurtured him. It la a lesson that tells us as much concerning the privilege and glory of mother as concerning the greatness of diw tlnguished sons.

skidding and to help extricate the car from mud holes also are as atntlal. The tool kit. it is auggeated, might include a large monkey wrench, a small monkey wrench, two sizes of| screw drivers, a set of socket wrenches, a set of open end wrenches, a pipe wrench, a ma chlnist's hammer, a set of punches, cold and cape chisels, two sites of files, a pair of pliers, a knife and possibly a small vise. A good Jack, preferably of the long-handled variety, a powerful hand pump if the car is not equipped with a power pump, a lug wrench and a small block of wood to go under the Jack In soft ground, "It you want to be the acme of efficiency,” the A. A. A. adds, "you will take along a small supply of extra bolts, nuts, copper, pins, wire, rubber tubing for the windshield wiper and possibly emergency repairs to the gasoline line and other small items of the kind. A set of substantial tire Irons might at a critical moment prove the moat valuable part of your equipment." The motorist also la advised to carry a tow rope, which, it is pointed out, is "one of those things you may never have to use, but which will prove its pre-emir.ent right In your equipment if the emergency should happen to arise.” The new gasoline strainer and an air cleaner will increase the efiV ciency of the car, and aome sort of light to Illuminate the right-hand ditch at night when passing other cars also la desirable. An extra roll of wire and electric light bulbs will not be amltjs, and, If there Is room for it, a bottle of distilled water for the battery will eliminate frequent stops to "give the battery a drink, j “There is one more acessory ofl tremendous Importance," ths A. A™ A. concludes. "That is a large and i prominent bump of common sense. If you have that, your days a-whecl should be pleasant and untroubled, and your car will carry you there and back without complaint. But the care of the ens should begin before the tour starts.
