SCRI PP S- HOW AJtO

They Also Serve Now that we have recovered somewhat from our Lindbergh jag—for every one of us became a little drunk on Lindbergh glory—let’s take stock of ourselves. ; ‘ Republics are ungrateful.” we overheard a Lindy fan observe as the crowd went wild. “They say a citizen can sacrifice everything he has for his country and get nothing in return. They say he can give his life and nobody will remember his name.” “Fiddlesticks!” there’s your answer. Look at Lindy. Loaded with honors. Fortunes await the mere nod of his head. Do something and that is what you get. “Yes,” came the answer. “Do something spectacular, something that fires the imagination of the masses, and that is what you get. But it must be spectacular, so spectacular that the bureaucrats and chair warmers of your republic find their hands forced by popular clamor. Otherwise you’ll get little or nothing—neither honor nor riches.” That was a nasty dig. Was it—is it true? jA Somebody has written in to tell us about the case H John R. Kissinger. You probably never heard of Hissinger. We never had. Yet he did a thing as Heat as Lindbergh—and we are as Lindbergh-mad, Hkd as anybody. Kissinger voluntarily offered to die lonely death that others might live. Result: Today he is a physical wreck, a pitiful shell of his former husky self. And poor What did he do? Well, some will recall the yellow fever. In the 100 years up to 1900 our country was visited by seventy-seven yellow fever epidemics. Cities were depopulated. At an army post out of 1,500 soldiers, 1,411 died of the saffron scourge. A single one of these epidemics cost the Government $100,000,000. Work on the Panama canal was stopped. The French company building it had to give up. What caused the yellow fever was a mystery. Washington sent Major Reed—Dr. Walter Reed —to Cuba to find out. He had a theory. He suspected mosquitoes. But he needed subjects for his experi-ment-human beings, not mice, monkeys or guinea pigs. Kissinger, a private in the Army, and John J. Moran volunteered for one of the decisive tests. They volunteered to sleep locked in a room with the yellow death —five mosquitoes, "which had bitten fever patients. Both were stricken. They came within an ace of dying. We had thought Ahat Moran did die, but Paul De Kruif, author of the “Microbe Hunters,” informs us that he is still alive in the canal zone. But Kissinger has been an invalid ever since. Congress, eleven years after, granted a grudging SPOO a month to Kissinger, but the pittance hardly keeps him in medicine. His wife has had to take in washing to help keep the wolf from the door. Fame? Who knows Kissinger? We are told that even the people of the town of Andrews, Ind., where he lives, do not all know they have a great hero living among them. Friends—scientists, mostly, have been trying to interest the public in his case, but find it mighty hard sledding. “Every one says the yellow fever heroes ought to be highly honored,” writes Prof. James E. Peabody of the Morris High School, New York, who has been trying to do something about it, “but the funds dribble in, Oh, so slowly.” Kissinger, Moran and the others who worked with Dr. Reed, saved the Nation and the world from one of civilization’s worst horrors. They made the Panama canal possible. They saved countless lives annually. They saved the country millions of dollars. Dr. Reed said of his helpers: “This exhibition of moral courage has never been surpassed in the Army of the United States.” But what of it? For some of the heroes, nothing. For others a pittance. For the widows of those who made the great sacrifice —$125 a month. It took Lindbergh to teach us a lesson. His homeric deed might easily have gone unrewarded, unhonored and unsung but for its very glamour. There should be a Distinguished Service Cross for all who do immortal things for our country, not only for our future Lindberghs, but for our Reeds, our Kissingers, our Morans and those others whose deeds are done out of the limelight’s glare. And there should be, when needs be, an ample annuity to accompany the cross. *' For they also serve who serve in obscurity and poverty. On Being A Hero Being a hero is no easy stunt. It was a big thing to be the first to fly alone across the Atlantic. We are not sure that it is not a more rare thing to meet the difficulties of a world’s adulation in a way to continue being the world’s hero. Boy Lindbergh is to be doubly congratulated. He has triumphed in- the second test. Imagine being yanked from the role of mechani-

The City Manager Plan Committee Says:

Representative government must express the will of the majority; it ts spw'-Jthing more than simply government by representatives. Ability of the people to direct and control officers after they are elected is more important than the privilege of electing them. Government can not be called democratic, whatever the processes of election and administration, unless it is at all times responsive to the will of the people. Propaganda has been spread that police and firemen pension funds will be abolished under the new plan. This is groundless. As a matter of fact, the police and firemen have fared far better under the city manager plan free from political influence than before. This is the universal opinion from city manager cities. The business interests of Indianapolis dare not let this movement for clean, business-like government #

cian and air mail carrier over night into that of a sort of extra popular Prince of Wales. Also being drafted as a newspaper writer and being called upon to turn out the column, banquet or no banquet. Think of having to jump out of a jumper and rush off in a foreign city to buy your first dress suit. And then the banquets, with the formidable forks all lined up for course after course. And then they won’t be satisfied until you turn orator and say formal words, without even the practice of a graduating speech. And the role of traveling diplomat, laying countless wreaths on countless tombs! Then the little tactful things like autographs, proper acknowledgments of messages and felicitations, the necessary posings for cameras, the orders to smile and the appreciation of the cheerings of the crowds. Imagine being suddenly scheduled and programmed and ordered about by war departments and governments, having to sleep in embassies and White Houses, when it would be so much pleasanter to go and chum with the Spirit of St. Louis in the hangar. Imagine the pullings and haulings of the movie professionals, the vaudeville promoters, the stunt arrangers, the lime-lighters and the ad solicitors. It must be hard to be a Lindy! How To Keep On the Map When young Lindbergh told an audience in Washington last Saturday that the next important step in American aviation must be the development of airports for all parts of the country, Washingtonians failed to get the full significance of his statement. Now Washington has grasped it. The postoffice department has laid out anew air mail route from New York to Atlanta. Washington is on the route, as Washingtonians naturally expected it to be. Isn’t it the national capital? Os course. Washington was prepared to accept this new mail service as their natural due. But it isn't turning out to be so simple. The Postofflce Department had explained that a suitable airport must be provided, if Washington expects the air mail men to pick up and leave letters in that town. Otherwise, the stop between Philadelphia and Atlanta will be Baltimore. And now Washington citizens are scurrying around in mad haste to see that a municipal landing field is provided in time to meet the requirements. ■ This is not related to point a moral at the expense of Washington. It is merely a reminder that the map of America is being changed very rapidly and that in order to stay on the map it is necessary to recognize that aviation has arrived. Levine, who flew with Chamberlin across the Atlantic, made millions in the junk business. When that propeller broke and the plane dived toward the non-resihent German earth, we wonder just what his feelings were. A man in New Hampshire has a cow that opens doors, carries water and turns on the electric light. At last! The very cow to sit on those condensed milk cans! The favorite old excuse about the girls “not having a thing to wear” is almost legitimate these days. The reason some people rent houses is because it’s dangerous to sleep in garages.

A man, riding as a guest in an automobile, was injured severely when another car crashed into the one in which he was riding. He sued the owner of the car which had struck the one in which he w r as ridinf, claiming it was being recklessly driven. The man sued claimed that the other car also was being driven negligently and that the guest riding in it shared responsibility for driving it. On that basis, he argued, the guest had contributed to the negligence which caused the accident and was entitled to no damages. The guest argued he had no responsibility for the driving of the car in which he was riding as a guest, and that he was entitled to damages on account of the negligence of the other driver in running into it. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS? The decision: Colorado Supreme Court decided that the guest could collect damages from the owner of the car which had crashed into the one in which he was riding. It said, “Responsibility for management of an automobile, while being driven, must rest upon the driver and not upon the guest.” Otherwise, it added, “a most uncomfortable and harassing situation would be created for the driver of a car who happened to have four or five guests.”

With costs of city government mounting, while much of the public work already done is failing to stand up, and the growth of the city industrially is at a standstill, the burden will become increasingly greater unless the situation is corrected speedily. With industries leaving the city and none coming to take their place; with thousands

of empty houses and much property taxed for more than it could be sold for, it is apparent that Indianapolis can ill afford to give indorsement to the program which is responsible for the present deplorable condition. “We talk of boosting Indianapolis, bringing new industry, protecting present industry, providing more and continuous work for labor, all of which are desirable and necessary if we are to keep up with or a little in advance of other cities who are in the open market competing with us to accomplish the same objectives. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that to attain and sustain these objectives our best asset is good, honest, impartial and efficient government, a government that we all have implicit confidence in. Do you recall any administration in recent years that has enjoyed such a confidence?”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

W. E. TRACY SAYS: We Like to Be Told That We Are Well Off and That It Has Not Spoiled Us.

A few days ago the New York police received a telephoto likeness of a bank cashier wanted in Waco, Texas, on charges of embezzlement, together with the information that he was supposed to be in Mexico. The likeness was so good that two detectives were able to identify him and arrest him as he came dowji the gangplank from the Ward liner Monterey, which arrived in New York from Vera Cruz last Tuesday. This is just another illustration of what science is doing to help the forces of law and order. Dedicates Park President Coolidge made the dedication of a memorial park in Hammond. Ird., the basis for a most optimistic address with regard to the prosperity and spirituality of this cour f ry. Both aic fair topics to discuss. We like to be told that we are well off and that it has not spoiled us. Having Easy Time Putting aside the question of our spiritual state, there is no doubt that we are having a mighty eas*f time compared to the people of other countries. American trade and American wages are pleasant things to contemplate, especially in the great industrial centers. Also it is agreeable to recount the noble deeds we have done for the rest of the world. Seif Praise Common Self praise has become quite as common as the Charleston with us. We seem never to tire of'hearing our leaders tell us how big a bankroll we possess and what splendid use we are making of it. One often wonders how long the happy hour of bouquet-swapping can iast. To Abandon Guillotine France is considering abandon- 1 menl of the guillotine, not for the purpose of abolishing capital pun- I ishment, but to make way for the more scientific method of electrocution. It is said that electrocution would have been adopted long before this, but for a widespread skepticism as to its certainty. France has been filled with tales of the revival of electrocuted persons, though where these tales have come from is a mystery. Putting that aside, the determination to be sure that the law means death when it says so, even though a brutal method of execution has to be retained, reveals a side of French character which is not so commonly understood. Represents Finality Whatever else m&v be said of ihe guillotine, it represe its the quintes- J sence of finality. Whether a hanged person or one i who has been electrocuted can be 1 revived, it is certain that a severed 1 head leaves no doubt. In clinging to this argument in favor of the guillotine, the French show a desire to be sincere at least. Doctor Suggested Machine Referring to rumor, especially in connection with the guillotine, it is commonly reported that a professor, whose name it bears, not only invented it, but died by it. Neither statement appears authentic. Dr. Gullotine suggested the adoption of a machine to cut off heads as the official instrument of execution during the French revolution, but such a machine had been used in some other European countries as long as five centuries previously. It had been used in certain German states during the middld ages, in Italy as early as the thirteenth century and in Scotland during the sixteenth century. Beyond this, there is every reason to believe that Dr. Guillotine outlived the French revolution and died a natural death. Russia’s Attitude It often occurs that when a man gets into trouble with his neighbor, he takes it out on his own family. Russia’s attitude toward the outside world appears to be of the same order. Instead of taking the raids that have been made on her representatives as a basis of straight-forward diplomatic exchanges, she turns in fury on her orn people. She seems determined to show that no nation on earth can act more intempeiately than she can. Protest Considered European governments are reported to-be considering a general note of protest to Russia, though just what purpose this would serve it is hard to see. Russia has spilled too much blood already, and the outside world has done too much ineffectual scolding about it for notes of protest with regard to twenty, or even 100, executions to count for muqfi. The chances are that British, French and German officials realize this better than any one else, that they are not so deeply cocncerned about the executions as they pretend, that this phase of the situation is emphasized for home consumption and that their real object is to deter Russia from an aggressive attitude, especially in the far east. Indeed, the whole situation with regard to Russia centers in the part she might play in Asiatic affairs rather than in resentment to her i form of government or the way it is administered.

To the Editor: It would be a crime against intelligence and truth to let the article written by Smith Asken and published in thus column on June 6 to go unchallenged. I thoroughly agree with his opening paragraph: That according to fanatics prior to the adoption of prohibition, if prohibition were adopted, “everybody would become happy and prosperous and the inillenium would be just in sight.” But in the rest of his article he laments the fact that practically the opposite, according to his idea, has come to pass. Only fanatics and fools built such high hopes on prohibition, consequently they are the only people who are now disappointed. Other people who maintained and arc still maintaining a sane and open-mind-ed attitude toward the results of prohibition never pinned such idealistic dreams on it. Mr. Asken proved (but only In his style of thinking) that prohibition has utterly failed. To those who built such high hopes on it no doubt it appears to have failed; but to the sane-minded, good as well as bad has resulted from it—success as well as failure is its consequence. Os course, we still have our jails. If liquor before prohibition was the only cause of people's being put behind the bars, we would have a right to say that prohibition has failed: but remember, there has been and will be for a long time to come, many other factors that cause folks to be imprisoned. Then why expect prohibition to be a general panacea for criminality? “Almshouses arc still in tise and there is no decrease in the number of their inmates.” Is that so, Mr. Asken? You had better look up statistics before you make such a generalization. Do you know that in this very State the number of inmates in almshouses has decreased? No doubt the number isn't decreasing because of prohibition entirely, but neither are the people there because of prohibition entirely. Old age is the cause of most of our “trips over the hill.” Out of the 4,000.000 people in the United States over 65 years of age in 1910, a million and a quarter were de-pendent-dependency increases with age; that’s a sociological fact that might also be called a law. Why blame all of our dependency on

New Events on the Stage

The Wilton sisters are back again in their home State and are on the Palace Theater bill the last half of this week. The Wilton girls hail from Terre Haute and will be remembered for their work in theatrical circles ever since their early childhood. They are harmony singers and also play the violin and the piano. Russell and Durbin are dancers of thb whirlwind 4 ype, who come from England with, their dancing sensations. Russell claims to make a sensational dancer out of any girl who will volunteer from the audience, in the record time of two minutes. In other cities the act of Russell and Durbin has met with favorable comment and astonishment at the manner in which ne and Miss Durbin execute their daring feats. James Burke ar. ’ Eleanor Durkin have “A Tet-a-Tete in Song” which they offer. The latest songs, music, talk and comedy are wound up in this entertainment. In “Jungleland” three men assume the roles of a snake, a frog and a monkey and perform contortionists feats before lavish backgrounds. One more act is on the bill. The feature film is “Remember” with Dorothy Phillips. Pathe News, a comedy and topics of the day are the short reels. Other theaters today offer: “Sure Fire” at English’s; “The Pood Nut” at Keith’a; Isham Jones at the Circle; “Ain’t Love Funny” at the Isis; “Tillie the Toiler” at the Apollo; “The Whirlwind of Youth” at the Ohio, and Joe Rae and the California Nighthawks at the Lyric.

prohibition then, or why expect prohibition to cure it? Can Mr. Asken prove that the increase of taxes is due to prohibition? A statement without proof is useless except to his type of reasoning. So our property is not safe anywhere? That's curious—l've never been held up in my life; our home lias never been robbed. Yes, my family has even lived in Chicago, too. And drunkards are so numerous! I can remember the days before prohibition when I would see more drunkards in one week than I now see in a year. No, prohibition liasn't helped. Eut why go on presenting arguments that normal persons already know and admit? A word, though, about Shumaker’s law: “Making it a crime for a citizen to save the life of or the lives of his family.” So our medical profession has been outlawed? Well, well, now you tell one, editor! But let Mr. Asken think about it from this angle if he can. No matter how many lives are lost directly by prohibition administered under Shumaker's law, prohibition has so changed the conditions in our country that a multitude more lives are saved indirectly. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so why give up the many lives saved indirectly by prohibition to save one or two directly—especially when the one or two are apt to die anyhow? M. PAUL MAINS, Dc Pauw Student, Grecncastle, Ind. To the Editor: An item in your issue of June 8 from Washington, D. C., given out by one Walter Brown of Toledo, who, the item states, is regarded here as one of the most astute and careful (?) political observers in the country, states that Republicans are talking Coolidge only and Democrats only of Governor Smith. Such statements are to be expected from pinhead politicians, but from Mr. Brown, who, no doubt, recalls the report of rowdyism displayed in behalf of A1 Smith at the last Democratic national convention, one would naturally expect some-

thing different. Any man or woman intelligent enough to vote knows that Smith is the weakest candidate the Democrats could nominate, and no one knows it any better than the leading Republicans. Be that as it may, the writer's deepest concern is the honest effort of the Republican party and the uncalled for effort of astute and careful political observers. Respectfully, CHARLES M. LESLIE, 869 N. Garfield Ave. To the Editor: Asa constant reader of your paper for many years I wish to express my disapproval of your light for the so-called medicinal whisky. One of your contemporary papers has said. “Those persons who want whisky do not want it for medical purposes. They want whisky to drink, and if they thought there was any possibility of getting it to drink they would not now be camaflouging their demand with all this twaddle about “saving lives.” . One wonders why you have stood idly by all these years and watched your fellow-men die for want of whisky. I would have a better opinion of your paper if you made an ouvright fight for t repeal of this amendment. Then I would believe that you were sincere. I am not so sure myself that whisky has really saved all the lives that you claim it has. Some years ago, when two of my friends were seriously ill, physicians said that they could not possibly recover, and that it was only a question of hours until both would die, but they did not. Today both are enjoying good health. They did not take whisky, either. If they had. all the wets would have said that whisky saved a life. There arc many excellent features about your paper and I have been a booster for it in the past, but I am thoroughly disgusted with your line of "bunk” on medicinal whisky. Very truly yours.

My reasons in support of these declarations are: No. 5. This hand tempts a Business Pass which might result satisfactorily. It is important, however, to remember that the doubler of a suit-bid of one is not announcing strength in the suit doubled and therefore a Business Pass should not be made unless the hand contlns great strength. Many doubled contracts are fulfilled with disastrous result to the doubler when Business Passes of su.t-bids arc made.
