KNOW YOUR STATE INDIANA, a few years ago "*he center of the natural gas discovery and industrial development incident thereto, is taking steps officially, through a State government agency, to preserve this valuable asset. Experiments with shale deposits in certain sections of the State, give promise of developments of vast significance in the economic production of fuel oils and gases.

WHEN A QUEEN COMES This city is fortunate to be numbered among those which will receive a visit from a much beloved, very talented and most able queen. Not, of course, because she is talented. She might be the dumbest of the dumb and still receive the same zestful attention which .will be hers. Nor because she is beloved at home. She might he hated by her own people and yet be as welcome as Bhe will be made. Queen Marie of Roumanii might deserve high honor for her literary ability. She deserves admiration for her intelligent statesmanship. She might be honored as a mother and flattered for her beauty. Asa matter of fact, she will receive all* the attention and all the courtesies because she is a queen and has royal blood in her veins. Nowhere on earth is there greater honor paid to monarchs and to royalty than in this country which masks its own universal ambition for kingship under the pretense of hatred for monarchy. There is nothing snobbish at all in the mental attitude of the vast majority which finds a queen most interesting, and in a prince finds an idol. Historians have tried to teach us that, as a nation, we are dedicated to liberty and equality as abstract principles. It would be pleasant to believe this to be true, did not so many facts in ottr social structure deny it. How great is the outburst of indignation when a fearless editor is shot down when he interferes with crime? . How great an army rushes to the rescue of a courageous editor who is jailed for telling the truth? How much fire burns in our veins when we hear of equal justice being denied a citizen, when a sheriff shoots down a peaceful auto on the highways, when a Teapot Dome is handed away by a needy Cabinet number, when the police raid a thrifty union organizer? All these things are menaces to liberty and attacks upon equality. We do not protest. We accept. Contract that with our welcome to royalty, when most fittingly, we don our best duds, get as close as we can to the limousine furnished by the leading citizens, when mayors make speeches and the President sends a guard across a continent to insure' safety and comfort. / We admire, and rightly so, the splendor which belongs to a throne, the magnificence which comes frsm power. What the men who founded this country fought was not monarchy and oppression, as such, but a monarchy and an oppression which interfered with tjieir own kingship. They wanted the things which kings had. They wanted power to control their own actions, and from that, through a few generations, it is an easy step to wish power over others. Above all, we, as a nation, have always demanded at least an equality of comforts and a superiority when we can get it. We want a better automobile than the man next door, a more magnificent heme, a more dazzling ar- t ray of jewels for our wives, tetter q'othes for our .children. We want that superiority which has always been the privilege of royalty and that is why we pay distinguished and universal honors to queens and princes when they come. v It is that spirit of kinship with every king and every queen that has driven us to establish our high standard of living, has given us our secret orders where every man is exalted above someone else, the society columns in newspapers which make for satisfaction of conceit, our feverish search for something just a little better than what others have, the desire for public office which inspires most men, the heated flgjhts in women’s clubs for titles, the marriage of daughters of our millionaires to the aristocrats of fallen dynasties. Nothing snobbish about us at all. We are simply discovering ourselves as kings and queens in purpose and at heart. We want the thrones, the power, the wealth and the splendor. That Is the reason—or Is it just a guess at a reason —why there will be no bended knees to royalty, but a most profound admiration for the queen who Is coming to us, and perhaps an uncontrollable desire to shout “Sister” when she walks way.

, MIAMI UNCONQUERED sMiaml will be completely restored and ready for toumts by December. That is the declaration of Acting Mayor Gilman. A proclamation, and, spoken in the spirit that makes great cities, and we believe that Miami has this spirit, just as San Francisco before her. It assumes wtern stuff in the character of the city’s people, and we belifeve the stuff is there. A year ago Miami and the rest of Florida was going through an amazing boom. Many insisted then —this newspaper among them—that the boom was growing beyond the point real values and common sense Justified, and that inevitably the bubble would burst. In the months since then this belief has been Justified; the collapse came, just as it has come in every similar situation in the country’s history. The Miami now stunned and staggered by the hurricane already had come down to earth and was looking facts in the face. It was a city determined as ever to be great, more grimly so perhaps because of the setback and the challenge to her pride. She proposed to build on a sound basis, and be a great city in a great State. She still so proposes. The future of Florida rests In her soil. With ample moisture, a warm sun, and a year-round growing season over much of the State, and winter markets only forty-eight hours away, Florida will rank as a great producing State. This is a slow process and will take years. But it is also true, as Floridans proclaimed when the boom had collapsed, that you cannot take away

the sunshine. Florida ip blest with a winter climate unexcelled anywhere In the tVorld. When winter winds chill the North, it it pleasant to be in,Florida. Miami, pausing as she digs herself out and restores order, declares she will be ready for tourists in December. We have faith in her ability to make good the promise, and it is our hope and belief she will be blest with the greatest troop that ever basked on her sunny shores. TRUE TO FORM No one should be surprised that the city council has delayed a request from a business concern for a permit to build a sidetrack to Its plant. So thoroughly brazen have become the servants of the political machine that no longer do they go to the trouble to concoct an excuse for penalizing and punishing citizens who show any independence. It wa's a natural outburst on the part of one of these councilmen when he asked why a city councilman should vote for anything which any business concern wanted, as long as the head of tfiat concern “criticises” the administration. It is all so simple, under the machine rule. Any business man, any citizen, any enterprise which protests in the name of fair play and the welfare of Indianapolis against anything thatfeny part of the machine does, is to be harassed, embarrassed and, if possible, driven from the city. It is the same simple system that is used by burglars when they wish to still the cries of their victims. It is the same simple system which the old pirates used when they shoved a plank out over the seas and told their victims to take a walk. There was a time when thesd tactics were reserved for the law-breaking elements. It is still used there. Men who operate on {he shady side of the law could teach legitimate business how it works. The gambler or owner of a blind tiger who votes right, steals enough votes and contributes to the right campaign funds is not molested. If he “squawks,” there comes the visits of the police and his place is well “guarded.” But now, with the present administration as the full and logical development of this system, the men who are trying to build up Indianapolis by building up private enterprises that give employment to others are being given the same treatment. When that councilman blurted out the policy of the machine, he only put into words what every one knows to be the truth. If you let the machine get away with its purposes and do not criticise, you can be fairly safe and may possibly, on occasion, receive what is your due. But if you “criticise,” as did one citizen, the machine opposition to honest business, Mpu can expect nothing, not even a hearing. A civic revival that will make Indianapolis First may wipe out such a condition. But as long as political machines exist for the purpose of keeping machine men in office, all the way from United States Senators to the clerks who hand out license plates for automobiles, business men can expefct to be exposed to just such threats and penalties.

GRAVES IN FRANCE An official investigation has been ordered following the assertion of Senator Caraway of Arkansas that graves of American soldiers in France have been desecrated by French men. Examination of all these graves has been ordered by 001. F. W. Van Duyne, U. S. A., who has charge of them. It is to be hoped that the Senator’s allegation is proved erroneous, as Colonel Van Duyne is convinced it will be. If so, Senator Caraway may be expected to have the grace to accept the correction and apologize to the French people. French-American relations at the moment are none too plelfsant at best. This newspaper is so convinced of this that it has reluctantly, but earnestly, put before the American Legion the suggestion that the idea of holding the 1927 convention in Paris be abandoned. Into such a situation the free-spoken Arkansas Senator, returning from abroad, has injected a statement which stirs the American people. It is hard to believe he would have uttered it without convincing proof that it is true, yet he could be mistaken. Colonel Van Duyne says the last monthly inspection of all the American graves resulted in a report that all are in the finest possible condition, with no evidence of t , Let. us have the truth of the matter as quickly as possible. WHO TAKES THE RISK? WHY, THE MAN, OF COURSE By Mrs. Walter Ferguson 1 ■ Who takes ftie greater risk in marriage, the man or the woman? Husbands, undoubtedly. Men are just about the same, yesterday, today and forever. They may submit to modern customs, but nstlnctively they have not changed. They stiil want only certain qualities in a wife. Husbands today, just like those of Abraham's time, desire women who will conform to their will, who will cook toothsome dainties, who will care for the home, who will bear them children. Twentieth century men m?y not get these things always, but they want them just the same. Women, on the other hand, are as different as possible from their long dead feminine ancestors. Rachel and Leah, Sarah and Hagar would never recognize the modern wife as one of their kind. The educated and Intelligent woman of this generation cannot satisfy herself with mere domestic details, as did those famous wives of old. She has had her mind trained and her intellect is awake. For this reason, while she, like the women of .all ages, wants most a home, husband and babies, she must, like men, have more than these to keep her completely content. It' is not possible to put a college-bred woman in the kitchen and keep her happy there for the rest of her life. r Men, therefore, when they marry cannot tell quite what they are going to get in the way of a wife. If they choose a business girl, she may want to go back to the office in 6ix months. If they pick out a sweet, domestic type, she may suddenly decide she wants to be anew woman. If they rriarry an Intellectual, they may not be able to keep up with her. If they take a dumbbell, she is likely to take up reform work. All decent men still work and care for their families. But all decent women do not always stay at home and look after the children. This is where the matrimonial rub comes in. Pray, therefore, for the men who, while marrying angels, may sometimes get politicians in disguise. %

Tracy Florida’s Greatest Relief Will Corne From Insurance.

By M. E. Tracy Food' and supplies rushing to Florida by the train load —it is a spectacle that does your heart good, restores your faith in mankind, makes you feel that there is something besides meanness back of the scramble for wealth. The greater relief will come and that should make you feel still better. Insurance is. the financial venture of this age, the one scheme of investment that elevates it beyond every other. It is an improvident father who leaves his orphans to the storm in these days, an improvident community that finds itself without the means to rebuild when hit by tire or wind. Florida is ready to roll up her sleeves and go at it again largely because of the thousands of policies she holds. That is business in the best sense of the word, help through self-help, thrift come home to take care dk an emergency. ■t + -I- • Action and Reaction Reaction Is equal to action, said a great savant, and It is, whether in physics or psychology. When you see a fad you can look for an opponent extreme to follow. Take this freckle contest In Tulare, Cal., and what is it but a revolt against the she boy craze. The contest is a feature of the county fair. Any boy under 15 with a freckle can enter. “Spec” O'Donnell, the youthful film star, will award the prizes. Silly, of course, but so its the male powder puff and the jelly beans built up complexions that caused somebody to think of it. •I- -I' I* Market Limits High wages are the secret of America’s industrial success, says a report of British labor leaders who toured this country last spring. We have known that for a long time, but the idea can't seem to take root in Europe. It is consumption that makes industry go—what people eat, drink, wear and use—and it is what people can afford, not what they need, that determines consumption. Industry limits the market by holding wages down. •I- -I- -ILaw for Kings King Albert of Belgium was halted for speeding the other day, but when the cops found whom they 'bad caught, they apologized and turned their backs. A British noble showed better spirit when the king—James the Second, I think —asked him to do something that was illegal. “That is against the law,” he said. "I am above the law*,” retorted the king. “Your majesty may be, but I am not,” said the noble. -I- -I- -!• Fooling Uncle Sam Earl B. Zirkle of Kansas will not accept a commission in the United Spates Navy after graduating from Annapolis. He refused last spring, but afterwards it was thought that he had changed his mind. When things came to a showdown, however, he stuck to his original decision. He says he can't conscientiously take the oath of allegiance. It is too bad he did not think of that before he conscientiously took an education at Uncle Sam’s expense. -|. .|. .|. Destructive Philosophy "Thieves die poor,”, say a great detective. Os course they do, and there isn’t any mystery about it, either. Thieves merely fall a prey to their own destructive philosophy. Who would feel any compunction in stealing from a thief? That is che way they feel toward each other, and that is the way their “fences” and hangerson feel toward each and every one of them. Thievery and prosperity won't mix, as is vividly proved by the end of the average thief.

Letting Old Santa Claus Walk Right Into Town With Brand New Brunswick

By Walter D. Hickman There Is a brand new revue on Broadway, the second edition of “A Night in Paris,” which proves that there Is a Santa Claus. So I decided to believe In the old gentleman in September. I know that is a pretty big piece of mental construction, but I decided to give it a test. Rather thought that he might use an airplane or something besides a sleigh in September. Anyway, he landed at my flat with a brand new Brunswick phonograph. The model Is called “The Cortez.” For several years I have been using an old-fashioned model of another make to tell you about the new records. So even a “critic” of records must keep pace with improvements in the phonograph. So you see it was absolutely necessary for me to call upon Mister Santa Claus in the middle of September because I was not getting out of the records all they had in therA. Have told you before that I have tried to make the phonograph a living personality in my home. To me my new Brunswick is a musical guest. He might leave you know but at present he is with me. (That's intended to be a joke.) This new Brunswick musical Instrument (they are asking the world to find a name for It) is a magnificent creature. It seems to get into the very "soul” of the record. Am sure that this machine will find for me more hidden delights in the records than any other which I have come in contact. My story that I am telling you about my new phonograph is told to you because 1 feel that during the fall and winter months I will be better qualified to tell you about recorded music. This machine is a wizard in finding new musical beauties in records. Os course the new “light ray" electrically recorded record process has lot to do with this but I have tried the old-fashioned recorded record on this new Brunswick and the result has been startling. When anew and wonderful thing comes in my life, you know that I tell you about it. Here is a something which brings musical “-beauty into the home. It revitalizes great orchestral music; it permits the artist to walk Into your very home and above all it marks a great step forward in the improvement of the phonograph. ' It gives more dignity and technical beauty to recorded music than ever before. My remarks today are not done in the spirit of boosting any one product, but I am handling this new Brunswick machine just as I would do when telling you about anew Show. And this instrument not only gives me personal pleasure but will permit me to tell you much better about the new records. Many records for review have been received while I was on my vacation. Will tell you about many of them next week. •I* -I- -IIndianapolis theaters today offer: “The Test," at the Palace; Caranas and Barker, at the Lyric; "Mantrap," at the Ohio; “Bandbox Revue," at the Broadway; “Poker Faces,” at the Colonial; complete new show at the Uptown; “Into Her Kingdom,” at the Circle; “Variety,” at the Apollo, and “Out of the West,” at the Isis.

There are practically no copies extant of the original issue of the Ulster County Gazette describing Washington’s funeral, but some years after the event there was a reprint made, of which a great many copies are in existence. They arc of little value. The only way to tell the difference between the original and a copy is by the quality of the paper, and that can only be determined by experts.

Indianapolis First We all have a pride In Indianapolis and a loyalty to Indianapolis and its aims and ambitions. Heretofore this pride and loyalty has had little chance for collective expression, so that the launching of the “Indianapolis First’’ movement is welcome to all true lovers of Indianapolis. It gives an opportunity to rally to the cause of a better city. The new Chamber of Commerce is a sound foundation on which to rally. There is much thgt we all want Indianapolis to achieve, and now we have a practical opportunity to help Indianapolis accomplish her high aims. All success to the “Indianapolis First” spirit. G. P.

Times Readers Voice Views

Editor The Indianapolis Times; One of the great problems of the day, if not the greatest, is what disposition to make of the ever-increas-ing ranks of our toilers when the doors of employment are closed against them. In former years it was possible for a healthy old man to find some kind of employment that would make him self-sustaining, but in this day of improved machinery with young girls and boys operating them, a man is indeed fortunate that can hold his job when he reaches the age of 45 years and almost impossible to secure employment when he passes that age. If he has been fortunate enough through steady employment and selfdenial to accumulate a little home or bank account, it is usually exhausted by the time he reaches the age of 60. "What then is to become of him and his old wife? I am sorry to say we have a class of citizens who claim to be Christian and set themselves up as leaders of society and big business who will say with a sneer, “Send them to the poor house, separate them, it is good enough for them.” And without pausing to discriminate, pronounce them all thriftless profligates or they would not be poor. “Just look at me with my millions;” Fortunately for humanity's sake, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, led by Frank E. Hering of South Bend, Ind.; Howard Ragland of Cincinnati. Ohio; Otto P. Deluse of Indianapolis, and many other prominent Eagles, and the tjnited Mine Workers of America, that sturdy band of toilers who brave the many hidden dangers of the mines and know from experience what hardship and suffering mean, cooperating together are advocating a pension system that will afford proper care for worthy old people when age and misfortune renders them incapable of providing the necessaries of life. Asa proof that their efforts have not been in vain, and that the American citizens are beginning to sit up and take notice, five States have enacted an old age pension law. In many other States the bill has passed one or other branch of the Legsilature. In our own good old Hoosler State at the 1925 session ‘of the Legislature. the Senate passed an old age pension bill, hut failed to get a constitutional majority In the House. So prominent has been the question that a certain insurance company Is Issuing a policy that provides for monthly payments in old age. But there are thousands that cannot avail themselves of this protection because they cannot afford to keep up their payments. Periods of nonemployment, sickness and other causes of extra expense will prevent payment. We are taxed to provide funds for the care and maintenance of helpless unfortunates and we owe it to God and our country to make that fund a blessing and not a curse to suffering humanity. We only ask what is just, fair and equitable, so attention all, and when the eagle flaps its wings, march onward and upward to a better understanding of our duty as citizens.

LIFE RESTORED TOJAN IN ICE Sensation in French Newspaper Century Ago. Bu Untied Prr*g PARIS, Sept. 22. —French newspapers delving into their flies to discover what they were printing 100 years dgo found that at that time the press of all Europe was giving much space to a sensational story from Switzerland which smacked of Barnum and press agent. It ran as follows: “Doctor Hotham, who has returned from Switzerland, tells of an extraordinary discovery. While climbing St. Gothard glacier he found, under a great thickness of Ice, the body of a man wonderfully conserved Just as though he had been frozen into the ice only a few hours before. “The body was cut out and carried to a nearby hut, put into warm water, and, carefully handled by Dr. Hotham, returned to life. To the general surprise the frozen one declared he was Rodger Dodsworth, born in 1619, and that he was caught in an avalanche in 1650 while" on his way on foot to Italy.”

0 ,S. OF EUROPE , IS NO LONGER MERELYDREAM Nations Join Hands to Copy America’s Prosperity. Bu United ™rc*s . , BERLIN, Sept. 22.—Signs are multiplying that the idea of a “United States of Europe” is about to become a real issue. It is not much talked about. But a great deal is being done toward making it possible. Not so long ago, the United States of Europe, “Pan-Europe,” existed only in the imagination of idealists. Sentimental pacifists and pacifistic sentimentalists discussed the problem at great length in their conventions and conventicles. That, however, was as far as the idea developed. It had as much chance of success as a cat trying to fly. Some Development But things have changed. Today, a unified Europe has ceased to be a mere dream. It has developed Into something more tangible than Just an Idea of abstract thinkers. Stripped of its sentimentalism, It has become a real thing. European Industrialists have taken up the issue, though not under high slogan such as “For the Unite® States of Europe.” A unified Europe will not only be the by-product at the efforts of captains of industry. It is not their immediate object. They are out to unify European industry ;out to build trusts that expand across the present political boundaries in Europe. In Earnest Recent events have proved that they are in earnest. The formation of the “iron cartell” between the respective industries of Germany, France, Belgium and Luxemburg Is the harbinger of the large-scale concentration of European industry. At present the iron pool provides chiefly for the apportioning of markets. It does not envisage actual cooperation in production. But it marks a beginning. Events of the last six months indicate that In production, too, a closer collaboration of the Industries of the various European countries is in the offing. Negotiations aiming at intimate co-ordina-tion in production had been conducted between the chemical industries of Germany and France. They were suspended. The statement announcing the failure emphasized that the breakdown was temporary, and, due to the fact that the far-reaching aims of the negotiations could not be attained “Just now.” But even cooperation as provided by the iron pact it is tending toward the creation of a unified Europe. It must needs lead to an abolition of Inter-European customs barriers. In Europe, tariffs are obstacles. While they exist trusts expanding across frontiers cannot per. The iron pact is the first perceptible expression of an ever growing tendency of national Industries to form international combines. Chemical and other industries are sure to follow suit and tariff and similar barriers are bound to crumble in the long run. Thus the idea of a "United States of Europe” has been drifting from the realms of dreamerq into that of schemers. TO FETE WORLD PEACE Japanese Exposition to Observe Anniversary of War’s End.
