Work for All Flanner Houae, dedicated to the Negro race and its advancement and interest, suggests a day’s work is better than the dole. That principle Is as eternally right as the cry for human freedom. It is based upon the foundation of all character, which is selfrespect. Work, not charity, is the final remedy for not only the present depression but for most of the ills of our new social order, which is founded on the use of labor-saving machinery. One of the causes of crime, discontent, disorder, degradation and lowering of moral standards is that those who feel the effects of decay do not work. That applies both to the bum and to the parasite who lives through trickery 01 incomes founded upon extortion. The great fortunes made in speculation, in stock gambling, in utility trickery, in watered stock, released large numbeis fiom the need to work. That situation created social classes who feed horses in high priced hotels while many beg for bread, who give monkey parties at Miami in the winter while children freeze, who create luxurious slums and dives instead of homes while others are compelled to live in uncomfortable slums and without homes. Os course, the protest against the dole system came first from those who saw m such a system the payment of more taxes, either from incomes or in excises of various sorts* Now it comes from those who would probably be forced to accept it, were such fc scheme inaugurated. These have a much more valid protest than the rich who object to paying. They protest against the idea of being forced to live upon the work of others. They protest against the philosophy that the many must depend upon the few for the means of existence Theirs is a righteous protest. The truth is that the present depression is forcing recognition of the fact that one o the inalienable rights of men is to work and to work for a wage that will meet needs. That slogan, raised more than a year ago by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, is gaming ground. It is merely a restatement of the Declaration of Independence which specified life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as inalienable rights. Under our economic system no man has the right to life as long as he receives the primary necessities of food, shelter and clothing at the whims of the charitable. No man has liberty as long as his existence is dependent upon the official or unofficial handouts of the generous. No man can pursue happiness without self-respect, and that is impossible under a dole system, no matter in what perfumed package the dole may be distributed. Work, says the Flanner House, is what is needed. And in that declaration there is wisdom as fundamental as the ages.

2 1/2 to 1 The growth of anti-prohibition sentiment in states traditionally regarded as dry territory is shown by the vote of the American Legion convention on the proposal for a prohibition referendum. Fourteen delegations from states which ratified the eighteenth amendment votedly solidly for the referendum. Sixteen delegations from states which ratified the amendment were split, but the big majority were in favor of the referendum. Ohio, for instance, voted yes, 49 to 7; Michigan, 29 to 6; Maine, 13 to 1. Virginia, home of Bishop Cannon, 9 to 8. North Carolina voted yes, 19 to 6. Alabama was solidly in favor of the referendum, and so was Georgia. lowa was divided evenly, while California and Minnesota voted yes unanimously. In all, thirty-four state delegations unanimously were in favor of the referendum, or had a majority In favor of it. Only nine states were solidly against the referendum, and four others had a majority against it. A national popular vote on the question might have a somewhat different outcome. Nevertheless, the legionnaires offer an excellent cross-section of public opinion. They include rich and poor, workers and employers, Republicans, Democrats and Socialists, and men of every faith and no faith at all. Extraneous Issues did not interfere with their verdict in Detroit, which apparently indicates two things: 1. The majority of the people believe that prohibition is a failure and that we should have modification or repeal. 2. Sentiment against prohibition is growing in all sections. Some drys are contending the Detroit vote was a victory for them.. They seem relieved that the legion did not go farther than it did, and come out for repeal rather thsto a popular vote on repeal or modification. But there is no mistaking the language of the preamble to the legion resolution: ‘The eighteenth amendment of the Constitution of t:*“ United States has created a condition endangering respect for the law and the security of American institutions.’' The legion voted 1,008 to 394 in favor of that declaration. * Theology Must Change With the decline ol pagan culture, theology became the “queen of the sciences.” All other forms of learning were regarded as subordinate. The medieval view was well summed up in the famous proclamation that “the sword of Gods word is forged by grammar, burnished by rhetoric, and sharpened by logic, but only theology can use it." Even history and natural sciences were regarded as significant only in so far as they served to light up the Scriptures. In those days, theology was limited

to authoritative comment upon the supernatural world and divine revelations. Its function was to clarify God’s will to man. With the decline of belief in the supernatural and the fundamentals of orthodoxy, the function of the old theology has tended to dwindle. Vigorous efforts have been made by modernists to pour the old wine into new bottles. God has been redefined as the vague, indiscernible, and wholly hypothetical “extrahuman factor.” But these efforts have not attracted much respect. Yet there "are many emancipated intellects who believe that theology may re-establish itself if it will surrender its emphasis upon the supernatural and become a scientific appraiser and evaluator of religious phenomena, viewed in a thoroughly scientific fashion. This point of view was set forth by the famous Cornell savant, Professor Nathaniel Schmidt, in an address before the Ethical Culture Society of New York City: “Theology is reflection upon the contents of religion, the scientific treatment of the facts presented by religion. It has until now been predominantly an effort to examine, classify, harmonize, systematize and rationalize what was conceived as a special revelation. Its area has been limited to the recognized Scriptures and standards of faith, and its methods have been those of apologetics. “But now there presents itself the necessity of a choice between preserving or abandoning this theological discipline. It is becoming recognized widely that theology can survive and maintain its influence only as science dealing with all religious phenomena of man’s life, scrutinizing all claims, investigating all Ideas, customs, and institutions, and seeking to understand the operations of this mighty force in man’s nature and to find new ways of its practical application. “Theology as the science of religion stands in very much the same relation to the traditional theology as astronomy to astrology, or chemistry to alchemy.”

Wheat for the Hungry While millions starve in China and thousands go hungry here, the federal farm board hoards its millions of bushels of wheat. The board admits that the best thing that could happen to the farmer would be the disappearance of this surplus, which is depressing the market. Then why does not the board get rid of it? True, the board has sold 15,000,000 bushels to China. The grain is sold, though, solely for charitable relief to flood sufferers. All of which sounds more like a commercial deal of private traders than a transaction which is supposed not to compete with private sales. Because the board does not intend to make money out of its “stabilization” stocks, because selling at the market price results in board competition with farmers, it is supposed to help, and because the Chinese famine victims need all the food they can get, the board should have sold at a nominal price far below the market. Anyway, why stop with 15,000,000 bushels of wheat when the board has more than ten times that amount? If China can not use all of that huge surplus, why not act on the McKelvie plan to dispose of it at nominal prices to unemployment relief organizations in this country? Wheat and cotton markets can not approach normal activity again until stocks held by the federal farm board are disposed of. The board continues to hold its cotton; it has refused to sell to Germany. It has somewhere between 150,000,000 and 200,000,000 bushels of wheat. It has been carrying out its program of disposing of 5,000,000 bushels monthly in the domestic markets. At that rate, it will have rid itself of the last bushel some time between 1933 and 1935. The board must realize that this wheat should not be held that long. Some have urged that it be burned, and that the cotton be destroyed also. That would solve the surplus problem for the moment; but it would be unthinkable in these times where there are hundreds of thousands of hungry and cold persons here and elsewhere. Knowing that this grain depresses the farmers’ market, would it not be better to sell it for almost nothing, and alleviate hunger, rather than delay sales until the “right” prices are received, and until more thousands of dollars are eaten up in storage and carrying charges? Congress will meet soon. We believe it will authorize the federal farm board to give away the wheat to the hungry of China and America. It would be a fine thing for everybody if all the farmers could get their neighbors to cut down a little on production. Action in Tennessee against Clarence Darrow’s film may be taken to mean that the state wants no more monkey business. Famous last words: She answered a matrimonial ad.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A T first glance it seems a little absurd that we -HL should be asked to observe Oct. 4 as a World day for animals, when men are in such precarious straits. But perhaps the idea is not so far fetched, after all. For when we become civilized enough to be permanently kind to animals, we also shall be kind to each other and that is a high aspiration. Oct. 4 is the day dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, the saint who xluring his life endeavored most and succeeded best in imitating Jesus. Constantly joyous, enamoured of poverty, he loved nature, animate and inanimate. He had a very special fondness for birds. And though dead for more than 700 years, the story of his life still adds richness and beauty to history, and all the voiceless creatures that live today plead with us in words that were uttered by him so long ago. U tt u f T may be that if we were inspired to action on behalf of suffering animals, we would be even more ardent in behalf of suffering humans. Yet, strangely enough, the world of the dog, the animal for which, next to the horse, man most exerts himself, is quite as unbalanced as ours. While a few dogs live richly and at ease, riding in limousines and attended by doting masters, millions of others starve for lack of a bone. Cats, too, suffer from this same unequal system of distribution. For these injustices man is, of course, to blame, just as he is to blame for the complex economic situation he now confronts. With too much food, the peple starve. Animals, I dare say, could have arranged matters as well as we have done. So, if it should happen that we set aside the day of St. Francis for this good work, us not forget that man, too, is an animal, and right now quite as pathetic and puzzled as any that waftks the earth,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M: E: Tracy SAYS:

Desirable as Franco-German Unity May Be, It Is Likely to Hit Some of Us Americans Right Where We Live. NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Pierre Laval, the French premier, and Aristide Briand, the French foreign minister, go to Berlin. Their object is a better working agreement with Germany, or, as Laval puts it, “organized co-operation.” “This organized co-operation,” he explains, “stimulated and controlled by the two governments, and bringing into contact qualified representatives of the principal branches of economic activity, ought to lead to favorable results and be followed by concrete realities.” tt u tt Not So on Tariff THE average American is ready to give three rousing cheers. It has been his idea all along that France and Germany should get together. In fact, it has been his idea that every one should get together, except on the tariff. When it comes to the tariff, the average American is not such a good Rotarian. Neither are the French, Germans or English. But for the tariff, especially as examplified in the Smoot-Hawley bill, we would be hearing far less about “organized co-operation between France and Germany, the abandonment of free trade in England, or an economic union for Europe. a tt tt We Will Suffer DESIRABLE as a Franco-German rapproachment may be, it is going to hit some of us Americans right where we live, if it works. France and Germany have just two interests in common—reduced expenses and increased revenue. Put into plain English, that means war debts and foreign trade, particularly Russian trade. If the various pow-wows do not result in a concerted effort for debt reduction on the one hand, and more extensive dealings with Russia on the other, they will result in little of consequence.

Branded as Insane OUR own government’s attitude toward foreign trade in general, and Russian trade in particular, is responsible measurably for the economic trend overseas. We have taught Europe how to use the big stick, how to mobilize commercially, and legislate prosperity into being. What Senator Cordell Hull of Tennessee describes as “insane economic nationalism” has had much to do with bringing on the world depression, and the moves being made by various governments to get out of it. tt tt tt Didn’t Sound So Good IT is a strange thing that, in the midst of all this uproar for political peace, we should have been so careless of mutual economic interests. You can’t make people friendly by taking the bread out of their mouths, as even Gandhi is learning. A boycott of English cotton goods sounded all right in India, but not so good in the textile districts of England. Before we can construct anything like a solid foundation for peace, we must discover a way to help people, without ruining other people.

Record Is Tragedy WE just are beginning to realize the waste and ruthlessness of unrestrained competition in this country, but it has caused us little distress, compared to what it has caused the rest of the world, especially as promoted and protected in the name of national sovereingty. The record of civilization is a tragedy in the matter of trade and commerce. Much of the gold over which great governments are quarrelling was stolen; much of the wealth about which they boast was acquired by heartless exploitation; much of the advantage which they claim to enjoy was brought about by the conquest and coercion of weaker peoples. a a a Must Change Setup THE complexes that go with such a set-up are woven into our very fiber and we are not going to free ourselves from them for a good long time, or without a protracted struggle. That is what makes the idea of instituting world peace by the simple process of preaching it sound so foolish. England wants peace as badly as any nation on earth, but what is her remedy for the present situatio? A tariff, which, though it may help some of her domestic manufacturers and bring in some revenue for the government, is bound to destroy a certain amount of trade which importers have built up at great expense and upon which they have come to depend. Does any one but a sheer ignoramus suppose better understandings can be developed out of that kind of stuff? Well, you say, what else could England do under the circumstances? She couldn't do anything else, and that’s the crux of the whole problem. Our ideas of international economics must change profoundly before we can talk about international peace as possible, much less permanent.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Children Seldom Receive Proper Diet

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. INVESTIGATORS in schools, kindergartens and nurseries regularly have found that children from average homes do not receive proper diets. An investigation made by Dr. J. C. Winters in Texas concerned the diets of fifty American, fifty Negro and seventy-five Mexican children 1 in several Texas cities. The diets were studied carefully as to the total amount of calories received, body weight, protein, carbohydrates, fat, mineral salts and vitamins. Some interesting facts were discovered. For instance, 52 per cent of the American, 62 per cent of the Negro, and 66 per cent of the Mexican diets were inadequate in total amounts of calories taken. Moreover, the food deficiences were more serious for girls than for boys. The Negro and Mexican intake of calcium was not much more than half that of the American diets; phosphorus and iron were low in the three groups. The average intake was lower for girls than for boys. Inadequacy of calcium affected

“qpwENTY questions,” “Murder,” “Ghost” and other similar games indulged in by groups always have bored me. Indeed, in some instances where I have been persuaded against my better judgment to join in such innocent merriment, the result has been disastrous. I’d go around for days spelling out impossible words to myself or asking myself twenty questions to determine the name of a famous man, now dead, who invented the first steamboat. It was only after I had glimpsed myself in a shop window, lips moving and a hunted expression in my eyes, that I decided to put a stop to all such nonsense. But now, such is the weakness of the human mind, I have become a sort of collaborator in a book which threatens to sweep the country and become anew national pastime. “The Book of Dilemmas,” by Leonard Hatch, does, however, offer food for provocative discussion. Mr. Hatch has assembled thirty problems involving social, professional, and political ethics. After each dilemma there is space for the reader’s answer. And if he is honest he will write his answer first and then turn the page to read the answers of Frank Adams. Bruce Barton, Christopher Morley and Heywood Broun. The game is to see how your answers check with the printed ones.

A Lady in Distress DILEMMA No. 1, for instance, very well might be sufficient for a whole evening’s discussion: “You are a married man away from home on a transcontinental railway journey. You strike up a haphazard and slight acquaintance with a woman who is old enough to understand life and herself and who seems to you contented, sedate, well-poised and attractive. “On the second day she calmly informs you that she is unmarried, never expects to marry and that complete and eternal chastity (such is her word!) is no longer an ideal of hers. She adds that she has been hoping to meet some man who appeals to her as much as you do who will indulge her point of view. In short, in a calm and judicial manner she practically has flung herself at you. “You are completely amazed at the situation, and for some reason infinitely less interested in her since she pulled this bolt from the blue on you. And yet she has been absolutely frank and sincere with you and has done what was to her a difficult thing. “Is there any course of action on your part which will seem completely satisfactory to you as you look back upon it afterward? If so, .what Is it?.”

50 per cent of the American, 90 of the Negro, and 96 per cent of the Mexican dietaries. Inadequacy of phosphorus affected 38 per cent of the American, 74 per cent of the Negro, and 64 per cent of the Mexican. Inadequacy of iron affected 50 per cent of the American, 32 per cent of the Negro, and 66 per cent of the Mexican die-* taries. People who insist that the average American eats an adequate diet are going to have a hard time explaining these figures. The inadequacy of minerals in the American diets was largely associated with the failure in diets to provide an adequate amount of calcium. - It long has been urged that milk is an essential substance. The average amount of milk taken by the American children was slightly more than 2Vz cups per day, while for both the Negro ai#l Mexican groups it was somewhat less than 1% cups a day. The Mexican diets failed to provide an adequate amount of green vegetables, whereas the Negro diets were relatively rich in these substances. Vitamin A was supplied in all of the diets, because most of them pro-

The ‘Eyes’ Have It F RANKIN P. ADAMS says—lt depends upon what is meant by ‘a married man.’ If you are happy—not merely ‘getting along’ but happy —in your marriage your interest in the woman will be academic; if you are in a state of instability about your marriage, you will indulge the woman’s point of view, and look back upon the experience with joy and satisfaction. I disagree that her absolute frankness and sincerity would lessen your interest. A woman’s absolute frankness and sincerity never lessened my interest in her, or, to be frank and sincere myself, they never would. Bruce Barton says—l should show her the pictures of my three children, raise my hat and be on my way. Heywood Broun says—You should yield to the lady’s wish. In doing this no great harm comes to you, and a refusal would be tragic in her case. Christopher Morley says—Gentlemen do not pontificate on these matters. But if the traveler is seriously taken aback, he truthfully can assure her that he has friends in California whom she will enjoy meeting.

On reading over this dilemma I still am convinced that my answer is correct. The question of whether you are happily married or not hardly should enter in. An episode of this kind, even though it be a pleasant one, should in no wise mar the serenity of a man’s married life. On the other hand, of course, if a man felt that he wouW be doing wrong in indulging the lady’s wish it might be better for both of them if he would decline tactfully. The suggestion that he show her pictures of his three children, raise his hat and depart seems to me slightly drastic. Not only would it stamp the man a boor, but it undoubtedly would cause irremediable havoc to the lady’s vanity. And, after all, if the lady had asked the married man to do her a service less involved with social usage, conscience qualms and convention he would hasten to comply. Why, then, should he assume a role of righteous indignation in declining to do her a service which may very probably alter the entire course of her life? n a a Ride'’Em, Cowboy! WHEN I was running for congress last year, Joe Cook suggested that I ride an elephant up and down Broadway in an attempt to gather in the votes. I declined —not so much for the sake of my dignity, but I was thinking of the elephant.

vided enough milk to take care of this vitamin. The Negro diets contained much less butter, less egg yolk and less leafy vegetables than did the American diets. The Mexicans ate relatively more eggs than the Americans and Negroes. Fifty per cent of the American children had been given cod liver oil more or less regularly, but the Negro and Mexican children apparently never had received it. Vitamin D was deficient relatively in all of the diets. The Mexicans have substituted white flour for whole corn products. Neither Mexicans nor Negroes use whole wheat to any appreciable extent. However, both Mexicans and Negroes use beans, pot. toes and tomatoes in fairly large amounts. Fresh fruits and raw vegetables appear much more commonly in American than in Negro or in Mexican diets, hence the Americans have fair amounts of vitamin C. The Negroes and Mexicans use potatoes, tomatoes and onions, which help to take care of their vitamin C lack. There is apparently less danger of the lack of this vitamin in the diet than of lack of vitamins A and D.

Editor Times—l am a taxpayer here and have read about abolition of some minor jobs, also drastic cuts in salaries, to reduce expenses. I would like to inquire of Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, just why, at this critical period, we have become so dazed, that a $3,000 yearly increase has been granted to the $7,000 yearly salary of some of our judges, giving these men a salary now of $lO,000 a year. Think of it! Why not slice this additional $3,000 from the SIO,OOO yearly instead of abolishing minor jobs, which were paying only a mere living wage? This increase to an already excellent salary is something we taxpayers, who are bearing the burden, should investigate immediately. All those meagerly paid wage earners, whose jobs gradually are being abolished, asked was the privilege of holding down the jobs to provide for their dear ones. Why give so much to those whose salary was heretofore sufficient, compelling many self-respecting wage earners to resort to charity or else starvation and suicide? MRS. F. D.

GERMANY'S ULTIMATUM September 28

ON Sept. 28, 1917, Dr. Richard von Kuhlmann, German secretary of foreign affairs, addressed the main committee of the Reichstag on the people's proposals of peace, saying: “The German people and the German government, whose consciousness of their strength and internal security always made it easy for them to emphasize their willingness to conclude an honorable peace, have reason to welcome gratefully the initiative of the Curia, which made it possible for them to set forth again their national policy in a clear, unambiguous manner. “I say intentionally ‘national policy.’ as I hope and believe the reply of the German government, both as regards its form and contents, embodies the desires of an overwhelming majority of the Germans. , ;; ’ ■ \ ; 1 believe I can say with full right that all attempts of the enemy to drive a wedge between the German people and the German government on the question of the basis of our foreign policy and by the propagation of the fiction that the German people do not stand behind the kaiser and the imperial chancellor will be repulsed by the support given to this document,"
