know y6ur STATE , INDIANA <was one of the .first States to organize and systematize Its charities artd corrections activities. The fine provisions made for the feeble-minded, epileptics, blind,, deaf and dumb, represent the result of the most advanced thinking on the part of the unselfish men and women, who without salary, have given their time and thought to those matters.

CURBING VIOLENCE \ 'The people of this city will rejoice in any action that ‘the dynamiting of street cars and makes travel upon them safe. Three v striking carmen have admitted such acts of violence. They were worse than foolish if they were led to believe that they could win a victory for any caupe by the use of dynamite. No leader of labor worthy of the name, no man fit to advfse others or to champion any cause, would Suggest that a threat to a community or the destruction of property is an argument or can be effepttye in arousing public sympathy. * • Violence must stop. Safety of the public upon street cars is the first consideration. The men who üße violence become not protesting laborers but criminals, and crime should be punished as criminals. : .it is something of a reflections upon the machinery of government and of the State courts' that these men, who admit such acts, did so in answer to a charge of contempt of court. The acts constitute crime and we have, presumably, courts which punish criminals. Punishment of criminals is not the whole objective nor the only necessary step in this community. The permanent peaceful operation of the street cart; on a basis of peace is necessary and- should be possible. * * The maintenance of a service upon a war basis is not a pleasant advertisement for this city. A committee of outstanding citizens, representative of public interest, has appealed to the Governor to take what Hteps he can, not to wage a ware, hut to perfect a peace. ' - That might seem to be a better way than the jailing of men who commit crimes after crimes have been committed. Let it be hoped, in the meantime, that men wfco feel aggrived will recognize as their worst, enemy any person who advises them to commit acts c k violence or to embark upon a reign of terrorism. Whatever else public sentiment* may endorse, it will not stand or condone any such acts. (■ .. . # THE 6,000,000 BACKWARD There are 6,000,000 retarded children in/ the United States. The economic waste caused by their mounts into millions of dollars. But what irt more important is the terrific, human loss represented there. Poor eyes and poor light are blamed for most of this* according to Guy A. Henry, director of the Eyesight Conservation Council of America. Neglected eyesight is largely, responsible for backward pupils. The average cost of educating a school child is $6416 a year. A conservative" estimate of the proportion of retardation due to defective vision indicates a direct loss to the country of $130,000,d00 annually. That is but a Bmall part of the total economic and human loss when future inefficiency, lowered earning power and less competent service rtf the individual are considered. Twenty-five million workers have defective vision. About $30,000,000 of the artnua.l industrial wftßte is charged directly to poor lighting. f N 1 <7Poor eyesight develops when dhildren are allowed to do close work under inadequate illumination. Eyestrain brings on fatigue and Inefficiency. Watch the eyes ana the light. ,

THE LION WHIMPERS Hostile demonstrations against Americai continues in both France and Great Britain. ( American tourists are jeered and even assaulted on the streets of Paris. There have. been between American sightseers and rowdies in the resorts of Montmartre. Newspapertr in London redouble'their .attacks on America, the denunciations in Commons. The resentment of the French at the ostentation of the Americans can be understood. The Frenchman sees -his bankrupt country on the brink of ruin, his business or his job imperiled, and "his savings wiped out. Rich Americans throw franc notes about ljke so much worthless paper, and are gay, while his house tumbled* down about his ears. The attitude of the British is less easily condoned. It seems in peculiarly bad 'grace for Jodm Bull, has always boasted he could pay his debts, to try to welch on a bargain, and accuse America, of afendonlng her Ideals. Britain herself has ho record for excessive idealism, or philanthropy in her dealings with other nations. -• True, British settled hes international debts a* greater discounts than America, but no one will believe she acted otherwise than In self-interest. She got all she safely could without Injury to her trade. A general cancellation of war debts, as some British proposed, would have allowed her to profit two' or three billions at the-expense of America. Time may demonstrate America was pnwisd In her settlements, and reveal need for a revision. But America, acted in self-interest, the same As Britain, and in an effort to redeem the promise to American citizens that they would be repaid the sums loaned to foreign nations. \ , ' t 7 \ Much less can be said for the professional politicians |of France than for the man In the Hfd the pojßticlans been able to forget partisanship and get together on. h vigorous”' policy at the outset,the have been saved with'little difl3c.ulty.

The record of the French-administrations since the War has been 1 a succession of follies,’and evasions. Nor should leaders of these nations forget how their own conduct ma£ have reacted on the public 41 mind of America. Millions in 4hls country believe ( European statesmen forced, abandonment across the peace table of the idealistic principles which had been dinned in their ears by Wilson, and for which they made sacrifices. They believe that this statesman indulged in a wild scramble for spoils of war. when Ailiericji honestly had said she wanted nothing. Recriminations are worse than useless. America is perhaps more sensible to the woes of Europe and to their possible reaction on*this country thaq European statesmen realize. * British and French leaders would better* engage clear their difficulties to Uncle Sam, who is in a position io nelp them, than in chanting hymns of hate. z THE REAL ISSUE Save for the moment when the ecffo of Senator James Watson hurled his indictmegi. against forestdent Coplidge, the speeches of the two Senators from this State at their campaign debut declared that the tariff and only the tariff is the issue this fall. Watson left to his younger colleague the task V of calling attention to their fight against the • Administration on the World Court. And Robinson declared that he spoke ftfl* Watson as well as himself, when he announced his enduring hostility to what ' is claimed by the Coolidge Administration to be Its outstanding accomplishment. The tarifT is an issue, one on which the opponents of Watson and Robinson might easily rest thrtir case were they in mind to make that the decidipg

issue. • But the gentlemen are mistaken when they say that this is the sole issue hi Indiana. The voters make the issues and fervid pleas to the farmer on a tariff issue, the pitiful attempt to tell him that he buys in a free market 86 per cent of all his purchases, are likely to be overshadowed by an interest in some' other things. . The people of Indiana are quite likely to show some curiosity in*that diachine which now makes these men its spokesmenThey are likely to be Interested In the thing which might be called Watsonism as a comprehensive term to include all the ills of government . They are quite certain to ask what sort of a political combination it is that takes a cTVy organization in the farm districts and blemis ft to th" corrupt machines of cities where the bootlegger, the ballot box stuffer, the diVe keeper are protected in return for their votes. • They are likely to ask what combinations of vicious influences have been made, what protection an<T privileges have been given, what the office-hold-ing supporters of these Senators have done with their power. . \ ' That the voters will be grateful for getting thepi oarot the huge debt# into Which the same machine had plunged them is not likely. *' Long before November they may ask who got them into debt 'find discover that the payment of that debt came from additional taxes, fr> m inheritances placed upon the legacies to widows and children, from that 3 cents paid on every gallon of gasoline, and not by'any economy of administration or saving in expense. / Tlte voters will wish, and will have the oppori tunity to scrutinize the machine which Controls the name of the political party under whose banners they falsely pretend to fight, for their votes and by their acts they have divorced themselves completely from the Coolidge, Administration. - On every important vote in the Senate Watson and Robinson voted against Codjidge when they did not dodge. On matters of cqrruption of politics, their records will not escape being an issue. Honesty in the conduct of elections and primaries may, probably will, assume quite as much Importance as the tariff. The records of Watson for his thirty aa office holder |md lobbyist, and the few months of appointive office of Robinson* in which hrt has done no ; more than to second every vote of his senior, will be the' issue. And pn that issue the argument is. clear and plain. The lines are laid. ~ The real issue is decency,/honesty and the people’s welfare as opposed to Watsonism. •**l . \ Strange things happen every day.

KIDS, REAL AND THEORETICAL I By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON—"— 1 A woman who does her own housework and Is the mother of a husky boy of three answered an ad. vertisement regarding the rearing of ohlldren. She f#nt her money to obtain;'some expert psychological advice upon how to get obedience from her son and" had. no doubt, a vision of ultimately possessing that unknown thing—a perfectly good boy. -■ * She confided to me afterward her horror on discovering that her child did. not respond to all of these theories;'that she was utterly aback when, afjer having followed, directions;*she found her infant as stubborn as ever. Furthermore she insisted -'that if she had done exactly as these pamphlets advised her, she would never have had time to do her breakfast dishes. It would have require^,every hour of her day to discipline the child. Sometimes, after you have listened to some learned man lecture upon the" psychology of infancy and adolescence, don’t you just wish that he was obliged to practice these theories upon some ordinary youngster? It is so lovely to read thdt If your email son Is inclined to climb up to the mantel and grab your expensive vase the thing for do is lead him gently away and get him Interested In something else, or sit down and explain to him why he can not have the thing he wants. But the chances are that no matter how long .you talk, your youngster, unlike the ones in books, will return immediately to bis first occupation and yell louder than ever for tjie vase. Advice about bringing up babies is like all this beauty stuff; if w$ followed It we would never get anything else done. The woman who Is doing the weekly ironing is not anxious to run to her young hopeful every five minutes spend half an hour diverting his attention. She wants sto get her work done and will probably grub a switch and enforce obedience, which is, .after all; an efficacious method. It’s an easy. f matter to bring upr somebody else’s children, but please don't patronize mothers until you try making one Os your own to behaVe. Some of these expert authorities ought to tklk less and get busy wrestling with some real kids.' ; . 1 ' ,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy France —a Nation Bewildered by Cheap Politics,

By M. E. Tracy France, all over the .frpnt page again and likely to be there for some time —a nation bewildered by cheap ponies and still" more so by the sudden realization that disaster impends. Herriot lasted Just four days, washed out by the same kind of an emotional wave fts that on which he rode In, though with more 1 sense to -it. t ’ V Poincare, with the patience ‘ and shrewdness which- no small part of his character, has waited for the lesser lights to extinguish themselves. Now he steps forward, not only as premier, but as that very kind of dictator which the chamber of deputies refund las< Saturday night. “ Here Is no maudlin sentimentalist, if you please, but a Napoleonic individual, who will he boss or nothing. We can afford to enjoy the show, though we may lose money by It, but that Is at silly, shortstyhted at&tude to take. Sentiments are in the making that ban cause us a deal of trouble later on—more trouble than the money involved measures, or that the stupid diplomacy we have been practicing visualizes. Bah! .What do we care for sentiments. especially If they are of slow growth—we who have dollars to burn and a mountain of gold at our backs. Comes an American to Paris, the walls of his railway Compartment plastered over wtl\ 100 franc notes, and another, scattering them from a taxicab window as- h,e rides mehrlly about. We'll show the frog eaters whats what, particularly those of us who have struck oil, or hatched a war ,baby. , Os course, the Paris mob hoots and the hooligan complex rises to the surface. Os course, a lot of Innocent Americans get into trouble, because a decent country Is misrepresented by the vulgarity of sulck riches. Better, by far, had sopie of our tourists stayed at’ home. -|- C -|- i Worked Values '

Speaking of Napoleonic Individuals, members of the Y. M. C. A. fcom fifty countries have just voted that Christ and Napoleog are the {wo greatest figures in history, while Mussolini and Henry Ford are the two greatest living men. Leaving Christ out pf it, since his primacy is indisputable, how do the boys get that way? How can| they pass by such men as Plato and Shakespeare for the wrecker of Europe? * * Is it they haven’t, read, or is It because they are too largely steeped In tradition? • What did Napoleon .leave behind for the benefit and betterment of humanity? Where are people getting comfort, or happiness out of his bloody career? Columbus, Sir Isaac Newton, Harvey, Pasteur qjnd scores of ,others like them contributed discoveries of lasting value, but evidently the Y. M. C. A. wants action. It Is consistent with the exaltation of Napoleon to ijiake Mussolini the hero of the moment, bbt it displays the same warped sense of value. What has h.e done to better the lot of mankind compared td hi* own Marcdni? Farmers’ Price Ideas ’ One dollar and forty-two cents a bu hel for corn, two forty-nine a bushel for wheat, sixty-one cents a dozen > for eggs, seventeen cents a pound for pork-*-that, and for other products In proportion, is /what an expert committee says the farmer must get in order to make 5 per cent h- his and a sa'ary of SI,BOO a year. Sbunds high, doesn’t it? But feo did twelve dollars' day for the plumber, or ten dollty-s a day for the carpenter, only a few years ago. The farmrtr has not received a fair split of the pot as yet and that is at the bottom of* his discontent. 1 Too many of us can afford to buy big automobiles and take in five dollar shows, simply because we get vegetables cheap through the labor of women and children. Taking his cue from reformed and uplifters, the farmer rushes to law for relief. If the law can make people sober, why, can’t It make them rich and if pure, why not' prosperous? v When the farmer says "A tariff for everybpdy, or no tariff at all,” he is absooliitely logical. / When he prefers a tariff for everybody, however, he is absolutely it logical, because the tariff Is VT no benefit unless It taxes somebody to help somebody elsje. t ~ I am optimist enough to believe the farmer will get what is due him, but not until he go|s after It for himself and through the control of markets which his calling carries with it. Eventually, the farmer will organize, not -for politics, jbut for trade, and when he does, the rest of u# are going to pay him a Just price for his goods, If not more. / *•!• -F -IThe ‘Black- Pope,' Dzerzhinsky, the great Soviet chief of police, is dead. He will go* down in history as the “Black Pope" of bolshevism, because history loves to deal In romance, as well as the record. Dzerzhinsky was pitilessly efficient, no, more, as good an economist as detective. , When he took charge of the Russian railways he did as well with them as he did with the “cheka.” Prison Plot bared Bti United Press LEAVENWORTH.
