Lindbergh Returns Welcome home! Clean, brave, modest and unspoiled, our great American boy comes home to find the arms of all men, women and children of his happy country stretched forth in eager and affectionate welcome. All of us were thrilled with a sensation more wholesome tha'n pride when a comparatively unknown boy, all alone in his puny airship, flew across the vast ocean and landed safely among brothers on the other side. It seemed as if he crossed over on an invisible bridge of prayer. And when he reached the end of his fairy-like journey, he found that he had sailed away from a material world, saddened with human strife, into a spiritual world where a universal soul glowed with the glory of God. Never before had the world seemed so good, the brotherhood of man so real, and the love of God so personal to each of his children. This was the miracle wrought through the spirit of Charles Lindbergh, ambassador of peace, and those whose dreams caught a vision of the dream of dreams come true. \ But for a fleeting moment there can be human brotherhood and peace on earth, why not always. Hope may spring eternal in the human breast, but there is always lurking fear. Many hoped that material temptation might not drag our dream to earth—but they also feared. Thank God that hope is triumphant, and that our boy comes home to the heart of America clean, brave, modest and unspoiled! Charles Lindbergh, you opened up the heart of the old world and what we saw in it was good. To the eyes of our brothers over there you opened up the real heart of America—and what they saw was good. With hearts throbbing with quickened emotion, the people of your country bid you— Welcome home! Why the Embarrassment? Ra,ther difficult to understand is the complaint that two questions 'Submitted by Attorney General Gilliom should be at all embarrassing to the women whose organization has an unblemished record for sincerity and courage in regard to the liquor problem. '***? -T. . The organization, of which it so happens the wife of Governor Jackson is a member, passed a resolution denouncing the attitude of Mr. Gilliom and his letter in regard to a change in the Wright law which prevents the use of whisky for medicinal purposes. The letter of Mr. Gilliom was specific. It openly admitted that he had broken the law in order to save the lives of his sons, and stated further, that the Governor of this State had also broken the law in carrying out advice of doctors when Mrs. Jackson was critically ill. Both had obtained whisky, illegally, when human life was in danger and doctors had advised its use. It was in response to the open letter that the organization voted to condemn Gilliom. It stopped short of asking for his prosecution or the jailing of the Governor. When he was condemned, Mr. Gilliom asked this organization, because it is sincere and courageous, to answer these two "questions: “Would you, as mothers, refuse to condone the use of whisky if prescribed by your family physician for use by your dying child? “Since the Volstead act permits tie use of whisky as medicine, would you favor changing it to conform to the Indiana statute which forbids it?” Unquestionably every member of the white ribbon organization, which has carried on for years the battle for temperance and sobriety, which is under no suspicion of insincerity, which-is untainted by politics, which has the universal respect and admiration of all good citizens, would be willing to answer these questions as they have answered all others. The people could understand the equivocal statements of candidates for office who have dodged on this matter. They can even understand the silence of the Governor who has hesitated to either show his gratitude for the saving of the life of his wife or of asking that other men be relieved of becoming criminals in order to follow the advice of physicians. These questions should embarrass no one. Every citizen probably has his or her opinion on them. Many have expressed those opinions. Those who believe that it is better to send the doctor to the bootlegger to fill their prescriptions than to permit them to use such medicines as they think necessary obtained in a legal manner, would object to any change in the law. Those who believe that it is better that a few die for lack of aid than that *ny change be made in the Wright law will also object. Others may have reached the conclusion, without embarrassment to their consciences, that it may be veil to have the laws of Indiana conform to the Constitution of the United States. No one should find the subject embarrassing, and least of all the organization whose record has been so consistent through the years.

Concerning Economy Economy is a fine thing in any institution, family or Nation. But when it becomes a religion with a ' missionary spirit, offering rebukes to friendly powers, it ventures into a field where its place is doubtful, 1 to say the least. In recent days such a tendency has been revealed' by certain proponents of national economy. The Federal Government, said President Coolidge, at last night's meeting of his executives, “has set an : example not alone to the other governments of this country, but to other nations of the world.” And further down in his speech, he explained the treasury’s errors in estimating current receipts by the I fact that France's failure to ratify the Mellon-Ber- 1 enger debt agreement had necessitated a change in the figures. It is quite possible that French statesmen may i resent these two statements as reflecting discredit on 1 their nation’s ability to manage its home affairs and discharge its foreign obligations. Moreover, such a thriftier-than-thou attitude on America’s part seems I unlikely to improve relations, economic and political, i with our foreign debtors. In fact, both President Coolidge and Budget Director Lord permitted a strange note of belligerency, to creep into their speeches exalting the Administra- 1 tion's economy record. Mr. Lord digressed time and again to answer those critics who maintain that much of the boasted economy has been a matter of book-; keeping, unwise restrictions of certain important j branches of the Government and deferment of neces-; sary expenditures. Nobody will cavil at the President's insistence on economy, but none can deny that the natural, postwar curtailment of Federal activities since 1920, as well as repayment to the treasury of sums loaned to the railroads and other organizations by preceding Administrations has contributed to the Administration’s praiseworthy achievements in this field. It would be not only a matter of fair play but of wisdom, for the Administration to take thesq factors 1 into consideration in reviewing the past and planning for the future. Economy should remain the goal cf all Federal officials, but it should not be regarded as 1 a cult in which one group has the exclusive right of! worship. Such an attitude will not lead to the next Congress to approach the problem of further tax cuts from a “nonpartisan standpoint,” as the President has i so frequently requested. A Real Experiment A delegation of farmers has waited on President | Coolidge to urge him to support increased appropriations for agricultural research. Representing a dozen farm organizations, they told Mr. Coolidge that re- j search _support had declined since the war and was ' now five millions short. - We believe it was Dean Swift who made the celebrated remark about him who makes two blades of i grass to grow where one grew before, being of more account than the whole tribe of politicians. It seems late to have to go back and defend that proposition.; One kind of experimentation, however, has not! been undertaken, and it is about time it were. Why not try the economic experiment in farming. Let ’ the Secretary of Agriculture, through his proper agents, and under authority of Congress,* set up and \ conduct a typical farm in each of the forty-eight, 1 States. Let it be conducted not as a subsidized locality for scientific inquiries, but as an experimen- ! tal farm. Let it be started on the amount of capital! of the “average” farmer. Let the land be purchased or leased. Let books be kept by the man chosen to ! make the experiment in each case. Let him be typ- j ically married with an “average” number of children. 1 Let the farm be operated according to the best methods revealable by the Department of Agriculture.! Let the crops be marketed as other farmers have.to l market them, or in some better way if the depart- ! ment knows of any better way. Then let the world be j told the story. How much did it make? How much interest did it pay on the investment? How much land was found to be the best unit? .What crops and stock were found best in that locality? How was the labor problem solved? How many hours did the farmer work? How many his wife? Where did the children go to school? To the movies? To church? Let’s have the whole story. Let’s see whether the best information in the hands of the Government would work out the problem of making a decent living ! on the farm.

The owners of a piece of property listed it with a broker. The broker introduced them to a possible customer. Some time later the owners, dealing directly and not through the broker, sold the property to this purchaser. The broker sued them for a commission. The owners contended that the sale was made through their own efforts, and that the broker was not entitled to a commission. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Oklahoma decided that the broker was entitled to a commission because he had brought the parties together and thus made the sale possible.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: Smith College Girls Have Put a Ban on Stockings and Will Go About the Campus Bare Legged in Hot Weather.'

The principal of a San Francisco school ordered Bobby Anderson to go home because he was barefooted and wore overalls. Bobby happened to be the son of a World War veteran who lies sick in the hospital and of a mother who, instead of asking for charity, supports herself and family on SSO a month. If the public schools of America were designed to serve any purpose it \Vks to guarantee the children of such parents an education. They were certainly not destined to create a spirit of snobbishness and put a premium on the ability to dress well. The people of Francisco are to be congratulated in coming to the rescue of this barefoot boy the way they did and in forcing the school authorities to reverse the unjust order against him in less than three hours. Strange Contrast In strange contrast to the attitude of this San Francisco principal, Smith college girls have put a ban on stockings and will go about the campus bare legged in hot weather. Our educational system appears not only to be overloaded with fads, but with fads that are hopelessly inconsistent and irreconcilable. Woman for President Fifty-four years ago a woman ran for President of the United States. She did not get vary far, of course, but a good time was hhd by all and several trials resulted. The woman was Mrs. Victoria Woodhull Martin, who died in England on Friday at the age of 89, after having lived to see two women Governors of American States. She was born in Van Buren's administration, when Negroes were still slaves, when there wasn’t such a thing in the whole world as a kerosene lamp or a telegraph office, when New York was betting that canals were more important than railroads and when “woman's sphere” extended no farther from the kitchen than the woodshed. Much Since Then Wonderful things have happened since Mrs. Martin came into the world, and a good many of them have happened because bare-footed boys in overalls were not denied the right of education. Not Only of Air It is a splendid thing for Washington and New York to give Lindbergh such a welcome, tut let it not be forgotten that San Diego produced the airplane, that St. Lou*s supplied the money and that Detroit is the home of his mother. Also let it not be forgotten that America looks to her young men to perform just as wonderful feats of heroism in the future and that she must be prepared to reward them with equally distinguished honors. Not only the conquest of the air, but many of the more routine phases of life which we are apt to disregard in our excitement constantly called for deeds of bravery. Seven hundred thousand people were not saved from drowning in the Mississippi flood without risk or sacrifice. Nor does one neeed to hunt the great disasters or spectacular or triumphs for acts of courage that are worth recognition. Every day in the week we find someone in this Nation of over 100,000,000 people taking a chance, performing a service or achieving a victory that is worth more than honorable mention. Ignore Russians Sngland has found it possible to ignore the excited Russian notes with regard to her raid on Soviet house in London and her severance of diplomatic relations. It is doubtful if she will find it possible to maintain the same superior pose with regard to the execution of twenty alleged spies in Moscow, zome of whom are declared to have been in her pay. The Russian government haS either committed .a wicked, wanton and inexcusable crime, or there is more than one side to this story of plotting, sniping and intrigue. To put it in plain language Russia says that she caught twenty persons stirring up trouble against her government, some of whom actually planned the assassination of government leaders and many of whom were actually in the pay of other countries. This is either a barefaced lie, or Russia is not the only government in the world trying to foment revolution. Meantime, the war cloud that rose above the Russo-Polish border right after the Russian minister had been shot down in Warsaw seems to have disappeared, mainly because Poland has shown the right attitude. This is just another illustration of how strongly the desire to keep peace has gripped Europe. Most of the war talk we hear in this country is made out of whole cloth. No matter how sore or suspicious some European governments may be towards each other, the people have had enough bloodshed to last them for at least one generation, and the wiser leaders know it. On what date did General Allenby enter Jerusalem Dec. 9, 1917. Are the words “surprise” and “cosy” correctly spelled with an "s” or a “z?” Some lexicocographers give “surprize” and “cozy” as, preferred spellings, but “surprise’gjand “cosy” are correct.

AUCTION BRIDGE by MILTON C. WORK Original Third Hand No Trump Bid Must. BeStrong.

The pointer for today is: i It Requires More Strength to Bid ] an Original No Trump Third | Hand Than in Either of the Ear- | lier Positions.

To the Editor: In the arguments, pro and con, for medical whisky, I am sure there is one angle which had not occurred to most people, which, if tried would prove interesting. For years it has been rifficult and expensive for candidates to get voters to the polls; in fact, it has been unanimously conceded that the ills of the government, both State and municipal, can be traced to the indifference of good citizens in casting their ballots. We suggest a sure remedy to overcome this condition. We would have the government manufacture and sell medical whisky, allowing each citizen six quarts per annum, this to be issued one quart at a time—one quart preceding Decoration Day, July 4. Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Years Day—and be sold only! to citizens holding a receipt for their poll tax and a certificate'* showing that they had voted at all elections the year before. Since the Rev. Shumaker has. decreed doctor’s skill shall be null!-' fled in this regard, prescriptions could be dispensed with, and the money used to hire taxicabs to haul, the voters to the polls to exercise their inalienable rights and get their health certificates, to insure them for the coming year against bootleggers, wood alcohol, hair tonic and snake bites.
