BOYS WILL PLAYI HARMONICAS IN TIMESCONTEST Minevitch and Indiana Theater to Present Prizes, Borrah Minevitch, recognized as the world's greatest harmonica player, who is with his band of fifteen harmonica comedians are at the Indiana this week,, have accomplished what was thought by the music world to be an impossibility and that is, that they have forced the organized musical organizations to accept the lowly harmonica as part of part and parcel of every musical organization in the country. These youths who are former newsboys, bootblacks and urchins have surprised even the most skeptical of music critics that the harmonica is no longer a toy, but is a musical instrument that not only allows an expression of music, but also is an instrument that the poorest of kids may own and who knows, but some Indianapolis boy may have the ability to find his way up the ladder of success as the Borrah Minevitch, who rose from a poor newsboy of the streets to that of being recognized as one of the leading lights of Broadway. It is with a view of giving every boy in the country a chance to gain the position that he has attained that Borrah is conducting a harmonica contest in the various cities that he is playing and it is Borrah’s desire to find some boy who may be able to gain a place with his band during his stay in this city. Every boy who is not over 19, is eligible to enter into this contest and there is no red tape attached to this chance for being able to earn a good salary while he is seeing the country. All that is necessary for any boy to enter is that he send his name to the Harmonica Editor of The Times or better yet come up and pay a personal visit. Besides a chance to gain the inuch coveted position in the band, first prize of a gold plated harmonica such as used by the band and also five cash prizes donated by the Indiana Theater.

Chance of Lifetime Is Given Warren T. M’Cray

New York Times Hopes He’ll Go Before Grand Jury • and Tell Story. Bii Timet Special WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—The New York Times carried the following editorial in regard to Warren T. McCray: v Seldom does such a chance for moral recovery come to a man as that of Warren T. McCray, once Governor of Indiana and lately a Federal prisoner for using the mails with intent to defraud. His early career marked a steady rise in wealth, influence and popularity, until his party carried the State election and made him Governor. While in office he was indicted for a get rich quick scheme, was convicted and sentenced to ten years in Atlanta Penitentiary—a sentence now cut down two-thirds under the Federal parole. During his term the Ku-Klux Klan gained control of the Republican party in Indiana, and the administration of his successor, Governor Jackson, has been marked by that control and by scandals arising from it and from the conviction of the Klan leader, D. C. Stephenson, on a charge of murder. Mr. McCray returns to his State to find its politics smelling of corruption and its official prosecutofs intent upon investigating charges made by Stephenson, of which the former Governor must have first hand knowledge. Among the accusations made against Governor Jackson’s intimate Klan cab'net is that members of it, when the indictment of Governor McCray made it necessary for his son-in-law to retire from the office of public prosecutor at Indianapolis, offered the Governor SIO,OOO in counsel fees and implied friendliness in the courts if he would name an official recommended by them. Instead, the Governor named William H. Remy. Since then Mr. Remy and two associates have been delving into documents purported to

support the Stephenson charges against Governor Jackson and others. Surely Mr. McCray knows whether the story about the offer made to him by the Klan politicians is true. Also he knows much of what lies back of the other assertions of Stephenson. If he will go before the grand jury and tell the whole truth, regardless of whom it may affect and whatever it may cost his own party, he will have performed a public service that will do much to wipe out the stain upon his own name.

POWER WAR TO SWEEPJATION Congressman Warns of Move by Big Companies. SAN ERANCISCO. Sept. 3. Private power interests are preparing to "spend millions” in a nationwide propaganda to block the Government’s participation in hydroelectric .development. So declared Congressman Phil Swing of San Diego on his return from a tour of Government reclamation works as member of the House special committees on reclamation and flood control. “I have in my possession proof that the private power corporations are preparing to spend millions in an ‘educational’ campaign reaching from coast to coast,” he said. “This campaign will reach into luncheon clubs and even Into the schools, under the pretense of heralding the ’electrical age.’ “Its purpose will be to discourage Government participation in power development, and to prevent the Government from building power works with pending reclamation and flood control projects. “I do not advocate Government monopoly of the power industry, but there are certain projects wherein the Government might be forced to participate in power development to secure the best economic results and prevent waste. “The power group and certain farmers, who want the ‘closed shop’ in their industry to' prevent new land development, will lead the fight,” said Swing.

CHURCH IS URGED TO CREATE RIGHT SPIRITINLABOR Dr. McDowell Issues a Strong Labor Day Appeal. Recognizing industrialism as “the , most dominant factor in modern life,” and insisting that “the time has come sot the Christian Church to take a definite responsibility for creating • spirit in industry that will insure continued harmony between employers and employes,” Dr. John McDowell, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of National Missions, today issued a Labor day message addressed not only to the 10.000 ministers of the Presbyterian Church, but also to the 2,000,000 lay members. Secretary McDowell considers that “the entire future of our national progress and happiness is bound up in the success of this undertaking on the part of the church,” and he adds that “if the church endeavors to evade this responsibility or ignore it, it will lose, in my judgment, the largest opportunity it has ever had in promoting the kingdom of God here on this earth.” “I have endeavored.” says Secretary McDowell, “to put into this Labor day message my deepest convictions regarding the primary need of our American industry.” As the author of the social creed of the church, which was adopted some years ago by the Presbyterian General Assembly, Dr. Dowel) is regarded in his denomination as an authority on the relations of capital and labor. He himself began life in the coal mines, wnere he lost an arm. “Industrialism," says Dr. McDowell, in the foreword of his Labor Day message, “not only makes and unmakes men: it makes and mmakes communities, states, natims and the world. If the kingdom of God is to come here on this earth, industry must be permeated with the principles of that kingdom. “I cannot think of praying Thy kingdom come’ and ‘Thy will be done on earth,’ except in the realm of industry. That kingdom must come in the realm of industry if it is to be a world kingdom. “Os course I am thinking of the kingdom in the light of the teachings of the New Testament, which defines it in terms of spirit rather than hi terms of any particular political social or industrial system We are not suffering here in America from the lack of industrial systems. We are long on systems an' 5 short on spirit; and un’ess +Ms condition is changed we are not likely to make much progress. “Any system of relations between employers and employees that usual-

This was some time ago. Now I feel well, and I am getting along fine. S.S.S. stopped the Itching and it cured me of boils. I advise all weak and run-down people to give S.S.S. a trial.
