TWO NEWSPAPERS Two changes of interest to the general newspaper world occurred this week. In Memphis, Tenn., the News-Scimitar, a newspaper of standing and influence throughout the South, was purchased by the Memphis Press. In Knoxville, Tenn., the Sentinel, established in 1866, was pur chased by the Knoxville News. The Memphis Press and the Nnoxville Nows are Scripps-Howard newspapers. sister publications of The Times. Bach of these changes brings to a climax an interesting newspaper romance. Bach tells the story of a little four-page paper which has grown in a few years to a dominant position in an important Southern city. The rapidity of this achievement, flve years in the case of the Knoxville News, a little longer in the case of the Memphis Press, testifies to the soundness of the policy on which they were founded. This policy is contained in a single phrase—- “ Service to their readers.” JDodging all the seeming short-cuts to success, or at least to financial prosperity, the Press and the News stuck to that, fundamental, building for permanent success Instead. To serve their readers they had to be honest and fearless. Each in time convinced its city that it possessed these qualities, that its honesty and fearlessness were so basic that the news of the city and the world was safe in its hands. With the confidence of their reading public completely won the Memphis Press and the Knoxville Sentinel, each now with the largest circulation in its field, have an even greater opportunity for service. The Times knows this opportunity will be met: It extends congratulations to these newspapers—and to the people of Memphis and Knoxville.

A RUN ON THE BANK In the moving pictures you see the troops or the battleships dash up just at the psychological moment. Their arrival to prevent the disaster couldn't have been more perfectly timed if they had been lurking just around the corner or behind a convenient wave waiting for the crisis to happen. Often in real life it is different. The disaster occurs, ttae ships and the soldiers are just a little late. They arrive in time to punish but not prevent. Out in Kansas City the I other day there was a remarkable demonstration of the aid that arrives in the hick of time. It was a run on a bank. Scores of depositors assembled in front of the institution waiting for the opening. The checks for their balances were all made out. With the opening hour, 9 o’clock, nearly 200 were moving nervously around the door. At exactly 9 o’clock the sirens of motorcycle police came from around the corner. There wheeled into view a half dozen bluecoats. They stopped quickly and formed a circle around a big black vehicle they were escorting A lane was formed to the bank door. Out of the big black truck, into the bank, a stream of money poured. There were sacks of bills and the clink of silver dollars. There were sacks of gold The lane closed and the truck moved away. The bank’s doors were swung open. A man mounted on a chair and began to speak. He was W. J. Bailey, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank. He reassured the anxious crowd, saying that the bank was in unusually sound condition, and ready to meet every demand upon it. Cashiers and tejlers stood at their places. Before them wfero bills piled high, and the sacks of silver and gold. Bailey pointed to the windows. The depositors were assuaged. A wreck had been averted. Most of those who had come to withdraw their money left without it. The bank’s credit had been re-estab-lished. Everything was going to be all right. As the people filed out each carried a little red flower that had been given to them by two flower girls who passed among the crowd. It was a run on the bank, but it changed into a reception. It was the most dramatic proof, too, that the Federal Reserve is a fine big institution in this country.

SOME THOUGHTS QN HATRED These United States of America have 6 per cent of the world’s population and 40 per cent of that same world’s wealth. need remember nothing else to have an answer ready to every query why we are not altogether popular with the world at large. Envy is no provincial emotion. It is universal, international, knoYving no bounds of color or speech. Envious John Smith of Main street, who chokes down his spleen at sigiit of his neighbor’s limousine while he himself rides in a fliv, or walks, is no different from the envious nations, tax-ridden, cramped for expansion, who see the vast areas of a neighbor acrosk the sea. Some may argue that this is no new story for America; that we have been just as prosperous for years with no clacking, envious tongues wagged against us. “C’est la guerre” again is the answer; the war' that made all the world kin and brought into open daylight things rarely thought of before or wondered about; the war, too, that as it took prosperity from others, made "our. prosperity the more visible. If we are hated, why protest? We can afford to be tolerant of a purely human quality, asking for tolerance in a possible day when our own larders may not be so full of fats and grains. OUR BUSINESS ABROAD The trade balances speak favorably of America's business in foreign lands, but there are a few chapters in this romance they do not write. The story of America’s expansion and enterprise abroad reads like a novel. Wherever you go the “Made in America” bobs up with astonishing regularity. Even many of the tools which make things labeled “Made in Germany" or “Made in France” come from these shores. Italy, China and Japan are countries famous for the silk worm. You’d think they had silk there to burn, but the fact is that rayon stockings, made in the United States, sell at high prices in those coun tries. Sheffield, England, makes steel that the world knows and respects. Bpt steel saws from the United States are preferred there to the Sheffield product. American standards of industry are following

American goods. Thus the packing business In Argentina has been revolutionized by American machinery and the adoption of our methods. Foreign wage scales are lower, but American quantity production and salesmanship overcomes much of that disadvantage in competition. I MARRIAGE UNDER DURESS A diocesan court of the Catholic church, in rearranging the marital status of Consuelo Vanderbilt Marlborough Balsan, has ruled that a marriage unwillingly contracted is not a marriage at all, though the man and woman concerned may have lived together for twenty/years and raised a family. Which leaves us, should the precedent become widely established, just what in the way of marriage? Breathes there the man or woman who, if bored with twenty years of married life, could not convince himself or herself that he never was keen for this alliance anyway? That he was frightened into it, forced into it, fooled into it? That the object of anew love is the only love, and that former bonds have never existed at all? There will be many who believe the church’s decision a wise one, and as many others who see in it a danger to society. Meanwhile, it is interesting to observe that the church which has set its face so sternly toward divorce for many years now leads the way toward greater leniency in annulment.

FR —DOM OF SP—CH The Forum Magazine offeAed a prize for the best definition of Socialism. A W T ashington (D. C.) high school teacher won the prize. Gen. A. A. Fries of the chemical w r arfare section of the United States Army didn’t like the teacher’s definition and wrote to the school board, suggesting the teacher should be fired. The school board replied that, outside the classroom, the teacher had a right to express any views he pleased. Three cheers for the intelligent school board. FIGURE THIS OUT The eight-hour day for the farmers. C. G. Williams, president of the American Society of Agronomy, recommends it. He hasn't proposed the five-day week yet, but if his theory is correct, he may come to that —thus lopping two days off the farmers’ present working week. The theory is this: The farmers’ troubles, financially, result from overproduction. If they worked fewer hours, they’d produce less. Less production, better prices. And the farmers probably would live longer. It. works out all right, on paper. PENCILS AND RED T|PE President Coolidge informs Washington newspaper correspondents that lead pencils cost the Government $125,000 a year. How much does red tape cost? , Federal men uncovered a mail-order liquor house in New York. That’s one less catalog the farmer will have to bother with. An angel in politics sometimes plays the devil. Sweden voted wet. Perhaps the news got around* that snakes killed 19,308 persons in India last year.

A PATRIOT’S FLAG CREED 111 By N. D. Cochran ——. Wanting anew and up-to-date “Patriot’s Flag Creed,” the American Legion offered prizes. First prize was won by a Cleveland boy of Latvian parentage; and here’s his interesting and very patriotic creed: “I believe that the stars and stripes symbolize the noble aspirations and high resolutions of our great American democracy; that it is the banner of a Nation which protects the sacred and Inalienable right of man in his pursuit of life, liberty and happiness: that it is the standard of a republic which upholds Justice and faith among men, and peace and harmony among nations; that it is the insignia of a country which promotes education, pfea.ce and prosperity; that it is an emblem of a Nation which dispels ignorance, religious prejudice and racial antipathy; that it is the symbol of our freedom, our unity and our power; the flag of a great and glorious yesterday, the promise of a greater and more glorious tomorrow.” That’s a very nice creed. Every 100 per cent white Protestant American In this great country ought to take his hat off to it, even if it was written by a 17-year-old-boy of Latvian ancestry. His name is Lobser. It would have been more gratifying, of course, if the first prize had been won by a youth whose remote ancestors came over in the Mayflower to get religious' liberty and then persecuted Quakers and other Christians who wanted some of the same. Probably this boy’s Latvian parents had heard of this land of tho free and home of the brave and came over here to be free and brave. It may be that they told him how we dispell ignorance, religious prejudice and racial antipathy, and protect the sacred and inalienable right of man in his pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. But whether his parents or somebody else told him about it he found it out and won first prize by writing about it. It’s a perfectly lovely creed. The theory is beautiful. If by creed we mean an Ideal to b aimd at, it’s a good thing to aim high, even though now' and then our arrow takes a premature nose-dive and lights in the barnyard instead of among the stars. We may lynch a few human beings now and then, but they are generally of another race and color than our own. Nevertheless we aim to dispel racial antipathy, because that’s part of the Patriot’s Flag Creed. We rnay forbid teaching the theory of evolution in some of our State schools and insist on our children getting their biology and astronomy from the Book of Genesis; but in general w’e are all patriots and W’e aim at dispelling ignorance because that’s one thing our Patriot’s Flag Creed calls for. Now’ and then we may insist that none but 100 per cent white, Protestant Americans are fit to hold office In this government of the people, by the people and for the people; but our real aim is, of course, to dispel religious prejudice to the end that even Catholics and Jew’s may be permitted to belong to the Brotherhood of Mail. Without mentioning any names I’d like to suggest that in the interest of the Patriot’s Flag Creed copies be sent to all 100 per cent white Protestant Americans in the country. By doing this the American Legion might help a w’hole lot toward making an excellent American creed mean \ffiat it says. P. B.: Send a copy e iso to Imperial Wizard Evans.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy U, S. Interference in Latin America Part of Foreign Policy,

M. E. Tracy Former President Obregon of Mexico is said to have laughed after reading Secretary Kellogg's statement on our aititudu toward Nicaragua, and well he might. Os all nations on earth, the United States should be the last to talk interference with Litin American affairs as wrong or undesirable So far as the western hemisphere is concerned, interference with Latin American affairs has been the out standing feature of our foreign policy ever since the Monroe Doctrine was established. The humor of the situation consists in the fact that we have come to regard it as our sole right and privilege. I- I* + U, S, Made Government It goes without saying that we owe something to the present government of Nicaragua, because we made it. Indeed, we have been making governments for Nicaragua during the last fifteen years and those we did not make have been unaole to attract our sympathy or support. In one sense of the word. Secretary Kellogg only fulfills a well understood obligation in flying to the rescue of Adolfo Diaz, who is president of Nicaragua by the grace nt American influence more distinctly than anything else. This is the same Dihz whom we maneuvered into the presidency some fifteen years ago and whose party has been kept in power by American cash and American bayonets The stupid side of our policy lies in the assumption that other nations will refrain from playing a similar game if it is to their political or commercial advantage. Mexico Advances Mexico, with her advanced ideas. Or radicalism, if you prefer to call it that, has become a definite influence in Latin America, and there is only one more result that can be traced directly to our meddling. If we find it necessary to shriek against red propaganda and to land marines, perhaps, for fear a soviet will take root in Nicaragua or some other little republic that we feel it our duty to save for big business, wq have no one to blame but our ; selves. The original revolution against the Diaz regime in Mexico was fomented, if not financed, right in this country. Victoriano Huerta was driven from power by the pressure we were able to bring against him. Step by step Mexico was forced from one government to another by American interference, and though the Calles administration may be antagonistic to many of our traditions and ideals, it is distinctly our foster child. Ts the Calles government, moreover, has attempted to influence the political actions in Nicaragua, bow cai' we accuse it of committing any worse sin than following the examples we set? -j. | Protection Ends The role of big brother we assumed by virtue of the Monroe doo trine has ceased to be one of protection for smaller members of the family. Europe simply won't play the part of aggressor this doctrine was designed to prevent. There hasn't been a' scheme to steal Latin American territory for thirty years and we have been left with a doctrine on our hands which we could not prove worth maintaining, except by Interference with La tin-American politics. Latin-American republics have come to feel that they have more to fear from us than from Europe, and they are more alarmed at what the United States may do to them in the role of protector than what other nations may do to them without the United States assuming such a role. It Is high time that we recognized the obvious change in conditions, that we admitted the holy alliance no longer exists and discarded the idea of Latin-America being menaced by the threat of European conquest or colonization. If we feel the necessity of supervising LaOn-American affairs, of landing troops and forcing acceptance of administrations, whether the people like them or not, we would do far better to be perfectly frank about It than to offer the hypocritical excuse that we must uphold the Monroe doctrine, that since we have undertaken to protect the western hemisphere against Europe. Europe expects us to keep it orderly. I I I"Dollar Diplomacy” Asa matter of common knowledge our policy toward Mexico, Nicaragua and all of the other LatinAmerican republics with whom we have close relations has come to be based on commercial and business expediency. The vast majority of our moves, whether in the nature of support or antagonism, are rooted in the demands of some enterprise or scheme | of exploitation. j This may be perfectly legitimate. But we ought to call it by its right name, especially since no one is deceived by our failure to do so. U. S„ MEXICO AMICABLE Break Over Nicaraguan Situation Appears More Remote. Bu Vnltrd Prcttx MEXICO CITY, Nov. 20.—There was a belief here today among most observers that a rupture of diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico as a result of the Niearauguan situation had been averted. The opinion was based on the absence of any official Mexican declaration on the Nicaraugau episode, coupled with the apparent easing of the situation in Nicaragua. Unless the United States Government makes direct charges, which is considered unlikely, the incident appears to be closed.

Tenth Anniversary Festival Concert of Mendelssohn Choir to Be Held Monday

EHE tenth anniversary festival concert of the Mendelssohn Choir will be presented Monday evening at 8:20 o’clock at the Indiana National Guard Armory auditorium. Pennsylvania and Walnut Kts. The ch±ir, under the conductorship of Elmer Andrew Steffen, will be assisted by Madame Rosa Raisa, dramatic soprano of the Chicago Opera Company, who will be heard In recital of operatic arias and modern songs. Madame Raisa will sing the soprano solo from Rossini's Stabat Mater, the ’Tnflammatus,” in conjunction with the choir. In the presentation of its numbers the choir will also be assisted by two Indianapolis violinists, Mrs. Alma Miller Lenz and Miss Maud Custer. Paul R. Matthews, accompanist for the choir, will he assisted by Mrs. Dorothy Knight Greene at the second piano. The accompanist for Madame Raisa will be Isaac Van Grove, operatic coach and former assistant director of the Chicago Opera Company. At the conclusion of the concert, Madame Raisa will hold a reception in the north lounge of the auditorium. In receiving, she will be assisted by ythe officers of the choir, their ladies and a number of local public officials. Tli© complete program is as follows: “The National Anthem ” “One Hundnd-Fifth Psalm" Cesar Franok Dob vieni from “Marriaire of Figaro ' Standrhen Strauss L Enfant Prodioue .......

Percy Fletcher ~a E read from every city visited \X/ by Chaliapin and his opera r YY company of *one triumph after another in their presentation of the Ro -sini masterpiece. “The Bar'oer of Seville," which will be brought to Indianapolis by the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises for one performance on Monday evening, Dec. 6, at the Murat. At the opening performance of the Chaliapin company in Montreal recently Queen Marie of Roumania and her royal party were the honor guests and at this event the box office receipts netted more than $20,000. \ To adequately describe the extraordinary qualities of Chaliapin’s voice in cold print is a task nigh impossible. One must actually hear this famous artist on the stage in order to gain something of a true conception of his uncanny vocal gifts. \ To say that his tones are flexible, or'that he is master of nearly the entire vocal register, is far from telling the real story. True, very able critics have from time to time made statement? of exactly this cbajTLpter,. and not without justification A gredt deal has also been said of Chaliapin's exquisite pianissimo. Yet words are certainly lacking to give any eom'incing definition to the subtle dramatic coloring which the giant Russian alone seems to have command of, and which after all is the tru© reason of the tremendous effectiveness of his pianissimo and other striking vocal qualities. His success in grand qpera is l undoubtedly due as much to this ability to “color” his voice dramatically as it is to his admirable qualifications as an actor. The one supplements the other, yet each of these qualities Ig in itself so perfect that It is easily possible, for instance, to become thoroughly thrilled by his voice alone, which probably explains his Immense success on the concert stage. In “The Barber of Seville” local enthusiasts will be enabled to hear Chaliapin at his best vocally, as the role of Don Basllio contains many fine passages suited to Just such an exceptional vocal organ as the Russian singers. One of the best of the “Barber” arias is that of the "Oa* lumny,” in which Don Basllio (Chaliapin seeks to spread a caluminous report concerning the ardent Alma\da, the young lover of the piece.

Joshua Renews Covenant of Faith in Farewell

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 21.: Joshua Renewing the Covenant.—Joshua 24:14-25. By William E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalism Our lesson constitutes the farewell w’ords of Joshua. There is always a deep impressiveness about the farewell words of a great leader. Men wonder Instinctively what Is going to happen after 'he goes. Will someone rise to succeed him and carry oh his work? Will those who have shared in his leadership and triumph feel anew sense of responsibility and determine to put forth greater effort to make good bis loss? It is a solemn time when one contemplates the fulfillment of a great work and the need of taking up a new enterprise, or when one anticipates the ending of a great life and the need of some new hero to carryon. Surveys Past Joshua begins his farewell by surveying the past. He outlines the mistakes and the triumphs of Israel, and he indicates the way in which triumphs have been won. He challenges the people with the alternatives of a great choice, and he Is clear and unequivocal In stating his own choice regardless of what others may do. His words have become engraven in life and histo’-y as applicable to every- great moral and spiritual crisis —“Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.” IJfe constantly presents to men the plain alternatives that Joshua presented to ancient Israel. The form and superficial nature of the crisis may change but the inherent factors are the same. On the one hand is right with possible sacrifices and dangers, and on the other side is wrong with possible allurements cC gain, ease or pleasure.

.WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

No matter if history reveals that th© wrong ultimately brings disastrous consequences; to th© Individual or people at the moment th© way of compromise with conscience may stem not only the easy way but th© most profitable. Ther© are times when the way of right is Inevitably associated with sacrifice, when it requires all the courage that a man or a nation can muster to maintain Integrity of soul. Unfaltering Stand There must have been for many in Israel a powerful inspiration in Joshua's own unfaltering attitude. Simply for one man to take his stand and declare himself is often the saving of a situation. This is real leadership when a man stands forth and says to his fellows, "Regardless of where the rest of you go. I am going In Jhis direction and I don’t care whether you folloYv me or not.'-’ The man who speaks and acts in that fashion will always have followers sooner or later. Ev r en if he go the way of martyrdom, with no apparent success, men will rise up in a newer generation to glory in his character and achievement and to follow in his footsteps Life at lta highest and best is established in the sphere of a great covenant. Its relationships are holy. Note in the lesson how Joshua associates the idea of service with the idea of holiness. It is necessary In life not only to make covenants but to renew them. There are holy shrines in, the experiences of every man which he should revisit that he may find new faith and courage. There are holy places In the life of a nation that need constantly to h* kept pure arid unsullied as sources of hope and encouragement.
