A Reasonable Value Announcement is made by countv commissioners and church boards that a decision has finally been reached by the two churches on the Memorial site to sell to the county at a reasonable figure. A large amount of sentiment has been created in favor of the removal of the churches now. It is argued that they mar the impressiveness of the monument, that erection of new churches would furnish employment, that the price of the churches is likely to be lower now than in the future. When the matter proceeds to the point of fixing a value on the church properties it should direct attention to the whole subject of real estate values and raise, perhaps, moral as well as practical questions. On what basis should the property of these churches be fixed? Ought the same standards that would be used for privately owned property be applied? Can the churches accept payment on increased values that have come as a result of growth of the city ? The value of the real estate has increased since the time the churches were erected. Every citizen has contributed to this increase, merely by living in Indianapolis. That increase is a social product, known to the single taxer as “unearned increment.'’ There are those who believe that all such values should belong to society as a whole and that any profit from real estate is fundamentally immoral. Private ownership justifies such profits by the theory that they have paid taxes and are entitled to a profit from their sagacity and thrift. They envy the Astor family with its vast tribute collected from the millions who have made New York the greatest city on earth. But the church property is not taxed. These churches have not paid any part of the increase in value of their land to the public in that form. That raises different questions. Practical men will undoubtedly settle them. It is probable that the moral phases may pass unnoticed. We will only find out what is considered reasonable. Absurd and Dangerous If you put allegiance to conscience first, then you can not be true to the principles of the United States Constitution and can not be a good citizen. Such is the absurd and dangerous decision of Federal Judge Burrows of New Haven, Conn. In denying on Thursday the citizenship application of the Rev. Dr. Douglas Clyde Macintosh, the Judge ruled: “Ir appearing that the said petitioner, considering his allegiance to be first to the will of God. would not promise in advance to bear arms in defense of the United States under all circumstances, but only if he believed the war to be morally justified, it is decided that the petitioner is not attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and further decreed that aald petition for citizenship Is denied.” For a country founded on the principles of religious freedom, such a dictum is untrue. For a country with a Quaker President, it is inconceivable. For a country in which millions of splendid citizens hold the views thus outlawed. It is mockery. For a country which initiated and signed an international treaty for the renunciation of war, it is hypocrisy. We will welcome to citizenship men of the semiliterate and even semi-criminal classes cast off by other countries, who neither understand nor respect our Constitution, but who will lie if necessary to get in. We will accept them as citizens. But Dr. Macintosh is too grave a risk! V And who is this terrible threat to our safety? He is a Baptist minister. He is, and has been for twenty years, a professor at Yale university. He was a chaplain in the World war. He has intelligence, integrity, loyalty, character. He has the respect .nd admiration of his fellows. He loves our country, and the principles for which it was founded. But he is guilty of one “crime’’—he thinks he can be a good American citizen by following his conscience and the will of God as it comes to him. To that judge on his bench in New Haven, and to those naturalization officials who. wittingly or unwittingly, would betray the principles of the Constitution by such un-American standards, we quote the opinion of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States supreme court: "If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought—not free thought for those that agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate. I think that we should adhere to that principle with regards to admission into, as we’l as to life within this country.” Convicts as Civic Idealists Critics of our educational system frequently call attention to the alleged inadequacy of instructions in the realities of good citizenship. Whether or not our schools are deficient in this regard there certainly is no shortage of volunteer and impromptu instructors in what they believe to be the principles of American citizenship. Various societies appropriate vast sums for carryinfg on what they hold to be civic philosophy designed to save us from revolution and disorder. Jurists like Magistrate Sabatino of Brooklyn arise from time to Jime to instil civic Idealism in the minds of skeptical s questioning youths. latest recruit to the staff of citizenship faculty P E.

sentenced to five-year terms in the state prison. The press report thus describes the circumstances of their admission to the hoosegow: “They were warned by Warden P. E. Thomas to ‘keep their ideas to themselves and not to stir up trouble,’ as there were ’more than 600 ex-soldiers in the penitentiary who were likely to give them a punch in the nose.’” We may have slipped badly from the days of the founding fathers when we allow men to be jailed for an expression of opinion. It is admitted that in their case was neither violence nor incitement to violence. We have come into even newer days when convicts are deemed proper custodians of the ideals of civic virtue. Just Give It Rope The Anti-Saloon League did not kill the saloon. The saloon killed itself by its ruthless methods. It begins to look as though the drys are the ones who will kill prohibition at last. Even Representative Charles L. Gifford of Massachusetts, prohibitionist though he is, conveyed a warning to congress, in discussing the Black Duck killings. Said he: “When a couple of young men from my district lose their lives in the sort of massacre we have had, our people, prohibitionists and all, stop to wonder what the verdict will be on the part of congress . . . “I fear that we are going too far in our enthusiasms when we permit shooting and killing without extreme provocation.” Yes, Mr. Gifford. If members of the United States coast guard, including the ten who pleaded guilty to stealing and drinking evidence in Boston, are against prohibition, they can help in bringing about modification. All they’ll have to do is to keep on shooting. Evil, including Volsteadism, nurtures the germs of Its own death. The World Does Move “The years are not many before people will look back with the same amazement on church opposition to birth control as they now look back on the Inquisition of the middle ages.” Are these the words of Havelock Ellis, or Margaret Sanger or of Heywood Broun? No, they were pronounced by none other than Rev. Dr. George Maychin Stockdale, pastor of the St. James Methodist Episcopal church in New York City. Whereupon he introduced Dr. James F. Cooper, medical director of the American Birth Control League, whom he had invited to speak from his pulpit. Dr. Cooper dealt at length with the social maladjustments and misery which arise from an unrestricted birth rate and ignorance of birth control methods. It is a little difficult to envisage upstanding liberals like Dr. Stockdale as fellow servants in the same fold with those who persecute Mary Ware Dennett in providing rational instruction on sex hygiene and incite raids on the clinics of the birth control league. At least it shows that there is a little motion in the ecclesiastical world when a Methodist parson utters bold and modern words which might have been expected only from radical Unitarians. When the Stockdales come to top the Canon Chases, the Clarence True Wilsons and the Guy Fitch Phelpses in the Christian faith, the church rightfully may assume that place in social leadership to which it now pretends. Let us hope that the years which intervene are as few as Dr. Stockdale opines.

REASON

THE papers carry the story of an Indiana wedding which was planned for 1880, but did not catch fire until 1930. Down at Nobles/ille, fifty years ago, Charles W. Sapp, aged 25, was all set to marry Jessie Stringman, aged 20, but just as the bell was to tap they separated, Sapp going west and in due time marrying another, while the young lady stayed in Noblesville and did the same thing. Then after both of their mates had passed away Sapp returned to the old home town and the belated date was filled. an a But all deferred Hoosler romances are not brought to a conclusion which is satisfactory to the audience, for instance the one which involved Miss Phoebe Meeks of the little town of Brookville, down in the southeastern pocket of the state, down where the tall leaders of the pioneer commonwealth used to grow. # n tt This foremost romance of old Brookville enveloped in its folds Miss Meeks and her lover, whose name is now out of mind. Tire wedding day had been set and Brookville’s social cream had assembled at the Meeks home to celebrate, and there was music and dancing when the happy pair stole away to stroll. In a little while the prospective bride returned, hotly pursued by her beseeching mate, and deaf to his entreaties flew up to her room to remain. a tt a WITH a conjecture the guests put on their things and departed and for weeks the episode was the engrossing theme of the little outpost of civilization. Time went on with the mystery unfathomed, the fair young lady refusing to meet any of her friends and from that day forth none of her former intimates were to speak to her, for she was to live and die a hermit. a n Tire story was told to us years ago by a whitehaired lady, one of the girl friends of Phoebe Meeks and one of the guests at the fatal party, and some of the incidents of it have taken flight, but it remained the town ghost for generations. First Miss Meeks took a vow never to leave her garden and then as the embittering years passed she retired to her room never to emerge until they carried her out. tt * tt TPHE young Romeo, crucified on the cross of mystery, sought an audience and remained in the town, hoping she would relent and at least give him an idea of what the indignation was all about, but all in vain, and so in a year of so he packed his trunk and sought his fortune in the west. The old Meeks home at Brookville became a thing of neglect and legend and in due time took its place at the head of the “haunted houses. - ’ a a a Some forty years or more after the young lover had taken his brbken heart beyond the Rocky mountains he returned, still single and still hopeful. He registered at the old Brookville hotel and from a few questions learned that Phoebe Meeks still lived in the old home. With uncertain feet, he wandered thither. a • In response to the old brass knocker, the door opened and an aged colored woman opened the door and in her he recognized the youthful servant of his tost Juliet. Handing her a card he watied without, jaxing upon the desolation around, and then the servant returned and said: ‘ Miss Meeks can not be seen."

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

The Shaping of the Destiny of Empires by Sugar Proves That We Are Creatures of Appetite. SUGAR as a rare and expensive curiosity 500 years ago. Sugar as a magic drug peddled byquacks 400 years ago. Sugar as a factor in the slave trade 300 years ago. Sugar as good spoil for pirate and privateer 200 years ago. Sugar as the source of rum 100 years ago. Sugar as a source of revenue during the nineteenth century. Sugar as an excuse for Philippine independence now. Sugar as a basis of the candy trade, as the cause of kidney trouble, as indispensable in many forms of food, as an argument for farm relief in Louisiana, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and ten or a dozen ether states—what a wonderful and romantic part this commodity has played in human affairs since it came into use. and what a still more wonderful and romantic part it promises to play. a a a Snapes Empires’ Destiny WHO can read the history of sugar or observe how it is shaping the destiny of empires, and deny that we are creatures of appetite. To us sugar has become a necessity. We can’t get along without it, or think we can’t. But the Roman and Egyptians did. Such men as Solomon, Socrates and Julius Caesar probably never had a taste of sugar in all their lives. Neither did the knights and ladies of that chivalry which we consider ideal. Even Columbus conceived that the earth was round, without the help of sugar, and Michaelangelo built St. Peter’s. a a a What the great men and races of antiquity did without sugar, and what we think can’t be done without it, furnishes a vivid illustration of how social and political ideals move to the tune of material production, and how the stomach, as well as the head and heart, helps to shape the course of events. We Americans now are consuming mare than six million tons of sugar annually, or one hundred pounds for every man. woman, and child. Only about one fifth of what we consume is produced in this country. Os the rest, about one-third comes from the Philippines and Porto Rico free of duty, while the remainder comes largely from Cuba. To put it another way, of each 100 pounds of sugar we consume, about twenty are produced in this country, about twenty-seven in the Philippines and Porto Rico, and about fifty in Cuba. a a a It’s Puzzling Question THE question of how much tariff imported sugar should bear ! goes back to the question of whether j the average consumer should be | charged more for 100 pounds so the j average cane and beet sugar grower may get more for twenty pounds, or whether the average cane and beet grower should be disregarded to guarantee the consumer a lower price. But the worst of it is that no tariff can safeguard the cane and beet growers as long as Porto Rico and the Philippines, especially the latter, remain under the American flag. We easily could kill off Cuban competition by raising the duty to 4 or 5 cents, but we couldn’t kill off Porto Rican and Philippine competition. a a a Wherefore, certain senators and representatives who have consistently fought Philippine independence, see anew light. For the first time, since we assumed control of those unhappy islands, it seems possible, if not probable. that we may cast them adrift. What an impressive bit of idealism this would be. were it not for the part sugar has played. Without sugar, we honestly could claim that Philippine independence appealed to us as a matter of unadulterated justice, as an example to the world, as a voluntary contribution in the interest of fair play. But. -with senators and representatives seeking to accomplish nothing but a softer place for American beet and cane growers, and willing to destroy an industry which has more than doubled in the Philippines in the last twenty years, our sudden conversion to the idea of granting them independence proves that we are only human after all. Our attitude toward Cuba is equally paradoxical. Having “saved” the island from Spanish tyranny, we now consider the possibility of destroying its greatest industry with cold-blooded indifference.

Severe Exercise Causes Heart to Shrink

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN. Editor Journal of the Ameriean Medical Association and of Hygela, the Health Magaxine. MUSCULAR exercise increases the rate cf the pulse and is followed by a fall n the blood pressure. By the use of the X-ray it has been found that oae of the immediate effects is a’ r o temporary decrease in the size of the heart. Examination of the Olympic athletes in 1928 indicates that 90 per cent of them had some diminution in the width ofthe heart immediately after a maximal physical exercise. Indeed, after a marathon race the heart was temporarily decreased in size for about twenty-four hours and then restored to normal. In the vast majority of cases muscular exercises do not increase the size of the heart beyond what might be expected from natural growth.

IT SEEMS TO ME

ATTACKS made upon prohibition by confirmed and avowed partisans of modification probably gain few converts. I do not mean that such campaigns are wholly useless. Some day the United States will honor La Guardia for the persistent and skillful fight which he has made in congress against Volsteadism. He has won the respect even of his opponents. The wets constitute a small minority in congress, and yet, through the force of personality and ability, this little band has managed to put the drys on the defensive. The speakers for the majority always are in the position of being called upon to explain something, and, in spite of the abstainers’ passion to cheer each new report of death and dreadfulness, a note of apology frequently creeps into the speeches of the Volstead supporters. M M K Prohibition THESE friends of prohibition are not nearly as callous as they would have the country believe. Many of them probably are kindly and considerate men when not upon the floor of the house. It is the Mcßrides and the Clarence True Wilsons who have established the rule that prohibition comes first, and that justice and mercy must trail behind. I venture to say that many a congressman has gone home to toss uneasily at night over the shameful memory of the fact that he raised a raucous and obscene din in public over vl e unnecessary death of fellow human beings. As for the coast guard men, it is folly to think of them as archvillains. They did not devise the

It is the opinion of the investigators that the changes brought about in the heart by exercise are not the result of changes in the character of the blood due to the exercise itself, but represent the response of the heart tissue to the new conditions. One of the mo6t Interesting organs in the body is the spleen, the function of which has been a puzzle to the physicians for more than a century. Apparently, this organ also contracts in size following muscular exercise, and it is coming to be the opinion that the spleen is one of the organs which controls the volume of the blood. During exercise more blood is required for the activities of the muscles and the spleen acts to force more blood into circulation. Another fact which long has been

system under which one shoots first and inquires later. They, too, are under the sway of some man higher up. I wonder how he sleeps at night! Save in the case of a few powerful and fanatical leaders, prohibition sentiment is largely artificial. It does not rest in the heart of the American people. I do not mean that millions are not against any ure of alcohol whatsoever. I think this is true of the majority of Americans. antr Exaggerated BUT I do mean that the gravity of offenses against the Volstead act is enlarged fantastically by the provisions of our prevailing statutes. Even among the drys, there must be many who do not actually think that drinking is a sin meriting the death penalty. One of the most successful attacks yet launched against the dry cause came in the recent debate between La Guardia and Representative Carroll M. Beedy of Maine. Beedy is a Republican and a dry of years’ standing. He was the spokesman chosen to answer the dangerous La Guardia. and in his answer, Beedy made a slip. It was an unconscious slip, which makes it the more memorable, for the unconscious never lies. It w'ould be interesting to call a messmerist into the house some day and let him hypnotize Beedy and then ask him what he really thinks of prohibition. Answering La Guardia’s charge that members of the coast guard had pilfered liquor from rum-run-

ALEXANDER HAMILTON Jan. 11 ON Jan. 11, 1757, Alexander Hamilton, the famous American statesman, was bom at Charles Town, in the island of Nevis, West Indies. At the age of 12. the future statesman was placed in a counting house. But when he showed considerable literary ability he was sent to the English colonies on the continent to continue his education. Hamilton distinguished himself In several engagements during the Revolutionary war and acted as Washington's confidential secretary, attending to much of the correspondence from headquarters. Hamilton took an active part in the organization of the new government and was named the first secretary of the treasury of the United States in 1789. Today also is the anniversary of the meeting of the Continental congress in New York on Jan. 11, 1785. And on Jan. 11. 1805, Michigan territory separated from Indiana territory.

known Is the appearance in the secretion of the kidneys of albumin immediately after severe exercise in people who may not have had albumin previously. Swiss marathon runners examined in 1928 invariably revealed this condition, whereas previously not one had shown any excretion of albumin previous to the race. Some of the runners still were excreting casts and albumin and red blood cells eight to fourteen days after the race, which is an Indication of the damage that may be done to the organs by severe efforts of this character. It has been suggested that possibly the severity of the symptoms in the particular instance reported was due to the fact that the race was run on a very hot day, and that, therefore, extra strain was placed on the organs of excretion.

ners and drank it, Representative Beedy said: “I understand the fact is that those men—gobs, as we call them—ordinary seamen, yet red-blooded American boys, stood in water for hours on that cold December night, unloading this liquor. ‘‘ln the explosions which had occurred on board the ship, some of the boxes had been broken open, and some of the gobs, to relieve themselves from the cold and suffering, opened a bottle and drank something out of it.” MUM Enforcement I HOPE Beedy will examine his words in the cold gray ligth of the morning after. Oratory, as ail speakers know, produces a sort of ntoxicatlon. In vino veritas—and also sometimes in frenzied oratory. What do these words of the dry congressman mean? We will waive the claim that convenient explosions pulled the corks of the bottles which the coast guardsmen were handling. It seems to me that Beedy is saying, “Coast guardsmen are often cold and uncomfortable, and so, naturally, they will drink.” He is telling us that we must not expect atrict enforcement among the enforcers. Well, millions of other American citizens (red - blooded American boys) are cold and uncomfortable at times. If it is no very grave sin for a coast guardsman to drink under such circumstances why should a private citizen receive anywhere from sudden death to five years In jail and a SIO,OOO fine for the same offense? There really is no way out of the problem except to herd us all into some vast stockade and then set Clarence True Wilson and Mcßride upon the walls, and give them leave to fire and keep on firing. When the shambles is completed, then will enforcement have succeeded. (Copyright, 1930. for The Times)

SCIENCE By DAV7D DIETZ

Many Great, Advances in Sci-t mcc Were Made Public at Recent Conference in Des Mo men. SCIKUTWTH of the nation recent- 1 1-/ completed the annual session of hit American Association for the Advancement of Science. For seven days they listened to one another lecture and read scientific papers. Several hundred papers were read at sessions held morning, afternoon and night. New year eve and new year day were celebrated by keeping the program of paper reading going without a break. The assembled scientists heard Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American museum of natural history, advance the theory that mankind Is at least 1,000,000 years old and sprung from a "dawn man” who may be ten times as old. They heard Dr. Robert A. Millikan, famous physicist and president of the association, defend science against the charges of alleged sins. * They heard Dr. Harlan Stetson of the Perkins observatory of Ohio Wesleyan university tell of the connection between sun spots and radio. They heard Dr. Fay-Cooper Cole of the University of Chicago advance arguments to prove that there was no such thing as racial superiority. These were some of the papers which the reading public also heard of, because they caught the attention of the newspaper men present. But there were hundreds of other papers which did not break Into print. a a a Attack THESE other papers, of less dramatic interest, represent the great offensive of the army of science upon the forces of nature. Each paper was a report from some sector in this great battle, some laboratory or observatory or research institution, where the attack upon ignorance is going forward. It is these continuous offensives which pave the way for the major victories which the public hears about. ’When some disease germ is discovered, the credit belongs rightly to the discoverer. But also it belongs to hundreds of others who contributed new tech-! nique. minute observations here and there, and in other ways paved the way for the great discovery'. Marconi made radio a commercial possibility. But many workers, Hertz, Lodge, Branly and others, paved the way. So it is always with science. No one really can say what paper read at the convention just concluded was really the most important paper. The germ of the world’s greatest scientific discovery may lie within any one of a hundred of them. Only time will bring it forth. Sir Norman Lockyer, discovering the existence of helium, not on earth, but in the atmosphere of the sun, little suspected that some day the gas would be recovered from Texas gas wells and used to fill giant airships. X X * Guarantee DR. FAY-COOPER COLE in developing his idea that there is no innately superior race, told how one people after another dominated civilization. In 2500 B. C. it was the Egyptian. In 1500 B. C., it was the Cretan. A hundred years later, tire shepherd kings of the Iliad and Odyssey ruled civilization. By 500 B. C., Greece ruled the world, and at the start of the Christian era, it was Rome. As Dr. Cole pointed out, Cicero and Caesar wrote contemptuously of the “northern barbarians.” There is no guarantee that our present culture will not go the way of previous ones, Dr. Cole said. Perhaps there is no such guarantee. And perhaps, again, there is. Perhaps that army of scientists, gazing through telescopes, peering through microscopes, wading through complicated mathematical formula, tracking disease germs and new chemical compounds and atoms and electrons, is the guarantee of the future.
