The Prohibition Department Before any congressman, especially a Democratic tongressman, from Indiana votes more money to the prohibition department a serious effort should be made to discover how far that unit is being used to persecute rather than prosecute. Mayor George Dale is vehement in his declaration of his own innocence and charges that he is being ’'framed" by agents of the government. The charge is much more serious than the incidents cited against Dale in the indictment for conspiracy to violate the liquor law, the validity of which will be demonstrated at the trial of Dale. If his charge be true, then some curb should be placed upon prohibition agents who owe their jobs to political influence and who arc shifted apparently nt the whim and to suit the purpose of high governmental officials. Politicians have attempted to use the federal courts In the past to protect themselves from exposure and to punish those who have dared to challenge corruption in high places. One such case is now written into the records of the supreme court of this state in an affirmation of Ihe conviction of one Klinck, once the bodyguard of D. C. Stephenson. When Duval was mayor of this city and not a prisoner in the county jail, before a Governor had been indicted and pleaded the statute of limitations, an effort was made to procure the indictment of the rditor of The Times and Thomas Adams, now dead, a valiant and courageous editor of Vincennes, on what was alleged to be an affidavit. The plan was to indict upon the "affidavit’* in order to discredit the crusades for good government then being made by Adams and The Times. The signature to the purported affidavit was a forgery. Yet it was handed to the then federal prosecutor by the political boss of this county, George V. Coffin, and the indictment requested. The local prosecutor, William Remy, convicted Klinck for procuring the illegal jurat of a notary and Klinck is under sentence to prison, and now a fugitive from justice. He was in the pay of very high politicians. So it may be well to examine the charges of Dale before they are dismissed as the plea of a man who has been caught. If Dale is guilty, he should be punished. If his charges are true, something should happen to the prohibition unit. * The Bootstraps The house, which Thursday takes up the $1,100,000,000 revenue bill, should realize that it has before it a solemn responsibility. For in that bill is a radical, dangerous and untried departure from the fiscal tradition of this country—the general hales tax. Exclusion of a handful of items called "necessities" and the provision that the tax is to be collected by some 140,000 manufacturers and thus can be dubbed n. "manufacturers’ lax," do not disguise the fact that this is a sales tax. The Democratic spokesmen, with belated connivance cf the treasury officials, propose in this bill to saddle on the United States a consumers’ tax to collect $600,000,000, or more than one-half of the amount of the bill. And, because a sales tax always hits the men of small means harder than the rich, the bulk of this huge sum will come from the pockets of 70,000,000 already burdened farmers ar.d wage earners. We are, we trust, emerging from the worst depression of recent years. The only guarantee of permanent prosperity is the well-being of the masses. At a lime when everything should be done to increase their buying power, will congress take action to decrease it? The Republican tariff went far toward destroying American foreign trade. Now the Democratic sales tax proposes to strike a blow at the revival of industry at home. Historically, indirect taxes, sales or excise taxes always have reduced consumption and stifled trade. One need read only of the effect of the salt tax upon India, the effect of excise taxes on Ireland, the effect of Napoleon’s elaborate system of indirect taxes upon the prosperity of France, to realize the danger of this experiment. Taxes should be collected from those best able to pay and in proportion to ability to pay. The sales tax works in exactly the inverse ratio to this rule of justice and efficiency. We believe that most of the needed revenue can be raised, even in these times, by higher income taxes and a luxury tax. If not, it can be raised by a beer tax. The balance can be borrowed pending a return of prosperity and taxing capacity. Rehabilitation of mass buying power will not just happen. It certainly should not be further hampered. We recall only one person who claimed to have lifted himself from a bog by the bootstraps. He was Baron Munchausen, known as the greatest liar of fiction. Long Live the League If the League of Nations survives as an effective international organization for peace it will be despite efforts of the big powers to destroy its strength. Tills has been suspected for several years. But never was it crystal clear to all the world until Great Britain and France openly began to block league action in the far eastern crisis. As virtual dictators of the league council, those two powers for several weeks have prevented the council from invoking the league machinery against Japan as a violator of the league covenant. Part of their obstruction consisted in preventing the council from joining the United States completely in outlawing the fruits of Japanese conquest. The obstruction was in line, of course, with the action of the British and French governments themselves as signatories of the nine-power and Kellogg treaties, in refusing to follow' the United States in holding Japan to those treaties. When the small nations—more interested in preserving the league peace machinery than in supporting Japanese imperialism—wanted a session of the league assembly, they at first were blocked by the big powers. After the league assembly was called, but before It convened, Great Britain again tried unsuccessfully to prevent the assembly meeting. Since the assembly session began the big powers, under British leadership, have tried in every way to minimize the effect of the small nations’ criticism of Japan and to prohibit the assembly from invoking the league enforcement articles which are supposed to be applied automatically against a violator of the covenant. British policy is resented very widely in England. The government’s policy is opposed not onlytby the 'labor party and the liberal press, but by a laife non-

partisan opinion demanding British co-operation with the league and the United States. At a mass meeting of protest held in London Monday night, various groups were represented by persons as famous as Viscount- Grey, Sir Arthur Salter, Viscountess Astor, Sir Frederick Whyte and Viscount Cecil. Meanwhile, at Geneva, the British government not only is preventing effective assembly action, but has failed to carry out the armistice instructions of the assembly and has failed to report Shanghai information to the assembly as instructed, knowing that the assemly can not act without such information. These obstruction tactics of Britain and the other big powers have become so extreme that they have been challenged formally, not only by the Chinese delegate but by the president of the league assembly. As friends of the league, we admit that the league has lost moral prestige and political strength by its failure to date to apply its own covenant. But we deny the frequent prophecy of league enemies that this means the end of the league. We do not believe that it is possible to kill so easily and quickly an organization which carries the loyalty and faith of so many hundreds of millions of people. This emergency has not proved the futility of the league. It merely has proved that the league of fifty-odd nations can not function under the dictatorship of a few large imperialistic powers. And its assembly meeting is evident that the small nations are awakening to that fact. Not Enough Thanks to a congress that finally was permitted to vote its convictions, and to a President who acquiesced, 40,000,000 bushels of the federal farm board’s surplus wheat is on the way to the hungry unemployed. This is gratifying and very significant. But neither congress nor the President should stop here. The Democrats’ $132,000,000 road bill will furnish some work; the wheat bill will help feed the hungry; other measures will assist. But still local governments generally are unable to bear the burden of steady unemployment among millions, and private charities, that in many instances have done splendid work with limited funds and limited facilities, are inadequate. There should be legislation like the La FolletteCostigan relief bill if the federal government is to bear the full share of its responsibility in this crisis. “Hopewell” Other nations are bewildered by what is happening at Hopewell. So are Americans bewildered. They see Lindbergh, America’s hero, and his wife, daughter of a famous and wealthy family. They see the power of the mightiest nation in the world thrown behind those two young parents—the power of local and state police, governors, congress, United States department of justice, the President. But they see that a kidnaper is able to scorn the United States and all its power. They see Lindbergh and officials forced by the situation to pledge immunity in advance, and to treat through underworld emissaries as apparently the only way to save the child—if it can be saved. Why is the nation so helpless, its law forces so futile? One reason, is that we have confused our sense of crime and criminals. We have failed to distinguish between personal habits and crimes. In our puritanism we have been more zealous in spying upon our neighbors and punishing their personal habits and thoughts than in punishing real criminals. Upon one such law alone—prohibition—we spend more than $15,000,000 a year. That vast sum and that large army of officers if turned to the conquest of actual crime might achieve much. But, because of this prohibition law, there has grown up a system of racketeering which could not be conquered by twice as many enforcement officers. America will not be able to cope with criminals until it eliminates prohibition, and then concentrates on better trained, more intelligent and honest police, prosecutors and judges in better governed cities. The Texas woman who "doesn’t know the difference between a gin fizz and a highball," but who is a wet candidate for congress, must have been afraid she’d never find out under the Volstead act. Calvin Coolidge is sued for SIOO,OOO for some remarks he made over the radio. Maybe that’s why the Sphinx never talks at all. t An eastern capitalist says that business is improving definitely. Next thing we know, they’ll be telling us to use these good times to prepare for a depression.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IF our so-called "readjustment period" could witness the extinction of but half of our more than a thousand national associations, leagues and societies, we can say that we have hot suffered in vain. For we are, God knows, an organization-ridden people. We are harassed by noble causes and broken by dues. The money taken out of smaller communities and sent to uplift in foreign fields or used for upkeep cf national headquarters in some city would, if kept at home, feed all the hungry of the vicinity. And the way we scramble, trying to scrape up enough cash to keep grand gentlemen and dames traveling about for the “good of the order," would be j funny if it were not so sad. Our thinking has become standardized largely be- ! cause it is done in committee rooms by a set of officers. And certainly we practice spiritual prostitution when we hang on to causes in which we do not whole-heartedly believe, while we commit the added imbecility of paying our good money to do so. xxx MANY a woman is willing to sell her mental birthright for a poor mess of social pottage. She joins organizations mainly because the neighbors belong. Or she may be beset by the urge which seems to be universal, to educate, uplift and reform everybody she can. And the result often is organized chaos and intellectual and financial bankruptcy. For every KuKlux Klan must have its imperial wizard, every D. A. R. its president general, every grand lodge its grand master and every Elk his exalted ruler. And their upkeep is tremendous: Secretaries, traveling expenses, headquarters, to say nothing of conventions and the streams of printed material that pour from their publicity departments without ceasing. Organization may mean strength, but surely too many organizations signify weakness. Especially of the head. We can't pay our taxeCfbecause we have to pay our dues.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M: E. Tracy Says;

The Legion, A. F. of L. and Other Organizations Back of the Campaign to Create Jobs Not Only Are to Be Congratulated, but Supported. NEW YORK, March 9.—This ‘‘war against depression" promises to accomplish something because it is based on the idea of providing work through increased activity all along the line, because it goes directly to the people and to the point, because it is free from those roundabout methods which have spoiled so many past efforts. Work is and has been the one great essential of recovery, but many of our leaders have assumed that it was not to be had. except by special dispensation of the lords of trade and finance. With that mind, the government has adopted heroic measures to precipitate them, has demanded enormous sacrifices of the people, has done everything it could to make things easier for the big boys on the theory that they, in their gratitude, ultimately would make things easier for the little boys. x tt Important Start NOW we are going to the man in the street, the modest householder, the small merchant and manufacturer, with a plea to do more. It sounds so simple as to be uninteresting. but in that lies its real effectiveness. The fact that 177,000 jobs already have been found, most of them for at least six months, should be regarded as more than encouraging. Best of all, the work thus provided is useful, constructive and of such a nature as to make those engaged in it feel that they are once more paying their way. U X Let’s All Help! THE American Legion, American Federation of Labor and other organizations back of the campaign not only are to be congratulated, but supported. They have hit on a plan which is bound to succeed if enough people help to carry it out. We have all been sold on the thesis that mass buying power is the basis of prosperity. The trouble is that we have come to associate mass buying power with a comparatively few big pay rolls and a comparatively few well advertised articles of trade. The notion that much of importance could be accomplished by each of us doing what he could to make small improvements and small expansions has not played the part it sfiould. x x n Give a Job THE "war against depression” is not intended to raise money for experts to disburse. It comprehends no fund, no overhead, no board of control. It is being conducted simply and solely with the idea of getting those who can afford it to promise that they will provide extra work by making repairs, enlarging their business, constructing new buildings, improving their land, or doing anything else that appeals to them as worth while. The war rests on a bigger and more ■wholesome plan than merely to get people to expend so much cash. It presumes a certain amount of initiative on their part, a reawakenment of their faith and ambition, a renewed interest in their own affairs. XXX No Holiday MOST of us have been waiting for someone else to restore prosperity, preferably those whom we catalogue under the head of big business. Most of us have assumed that the job was too big for ordinary folks and that they might just as well knock off and take a holiday until the leaders had set things right. Such an attitude has done much to retard recovery. Much of the work in this country still depends on what average people are willing to undertake and carry through on their own account.

BRITISH SHIPPING LOSSES March 9

ON March 9, 1918, the British announced that shipping losses for the previous week had been fifteen ships of more than 1,600 tons displacement each. This announcement confirmed the opinion that submarine activities were increasing and caused great concern in England, dependent on its ships for food both at home and for its troops in France. Fighting on the western front still was confined to minor trench actions, but it was increasingly apparent that German troops were being massed for a major offensive at an early date. Many divisions from the Russian front were known to be in the German lines in France. British troops in Palestine continued their advance, and reported taking many Turkish soldiers prisoners.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Runners Time Selves to Beat Fatigue

This is the third of a series of five articles bv Dr. Fishbein on “That Tired Feelinir: How You Get That Wav and What to Do About It.” Others will follow daily. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hvgeia, the Health Magazine. A MAN running a mile race can not continue at top speed for the entire distance. Neither can a man doing manual labor work at the absolute maximum of his energies for a long period. The reasons for this are obvious. The body wears down much more rapidly at maximum effort than it can be repaired. Thus, we "run in debt” until the unusual exertion is over. In the case of the longer runs in a track meet, runners recognize this and develop their timing to the point that they know just how long to sprint, how long! to run easily, and how long to sprint again at the finish. When the runner misjudges these distances, we usually have the spectacle of a man ending his sprint before he crosses the finish line and coming in at little more than a walk.

IT SEEMS TO ME

SOMEWHERE on Fifth avenue lives a lady who has made the wild stray dogs of Central park her particular concern. Early in the morning she goes to the city’s wilderness bearing liver apportioned in tin platters. Each of the strays has established his own kingdom, and the food is set out by the Samaritan in appropriate places. She knows the ways of the vagrants and learns if any change has taken place in the customary course of these dude ranchers, these entailed wolves. And she does more—the lady with the liver—than keep the renegades from hunger. She supports their self-esteem. Not one of them realizes that, for all his semblance of revolutionary freedom, he lives upon an endowment, just like an editor of the New Republic. XXX Port of Missing Dogs NO questions are asked. There is at least a crude democracy in the ranges of Central park. Some of the dogs undoubtedly are in exile because of unjust accusations. Others meant to put the money back, and a few belong to that unfortunate class which can not resist the temptation to bid a light no trump when vulnerable. The lady with the liver does not ask them to take the meal from her hand. It would be contrary to the principles of these animals which have set up the pretense of being wolves—and ruggedly individualistic ones, at that. Her part merely is to leave the provender and stroll away. The fact that she finds the platters licked clean a little later is all the reward which she requires. And so the dog is not pauperized

Where the Weight of It Falls

All races for more than 440 yards are done with a quick start, a slower "middle run" and a sprint at the end. Physiologists have measured the maximum capacity of the body by testing the runner. A trained runner does not exhaust himself completely in any race up to 200 yards. He begins to be exhausted at 300 yards and the 440-yard run, or a quarter mile run, is enough completely to exhaust even a first-class sprinter. Obviously the amount of work and the speed of the performance depend on the training and on the ability of the tissues to utilize oxygen and to get rid of waste products. Furthermore, the fatigue in some one part of the body may be reflected in other portions. Continued use of the legs to the point of exhaustion in any type of work or play will interfere with accurate and speedy work by the arms and hands. If muscles are used to the point of fatigue, stiffness and soreness will develop and then follows swelling of the muscles and even

by any dole. He comes to think of the liver ration as something earned by his own initiative. Talk to him of direct relief and he will growl as fiercely as any Republican statesman. To him the liver is simply a part of the wild life of the park. He stalks his prey and creeps upon it, meeting the gossipy dead leaves with all the velvet of his paws. Inch by inch he comes closer to the quarry in the platter. One false step and the meat either will run or fight. There is no sound Within a few weeks the wild dog of Central park has learned to tread softly. At last there is a lunge and a leap. Big jaws click, and with a crunch the hunting dog beats down the last resistance of the liver. "You would, would you!” he growls and carries the carcass to his lair, where he devours it. But the platter is left behind as a sop to civilization. XXX Within City’s Wilderness BUT in most ways the life is wholly wild. This is an existence uncomplicated by brief excursions to any back yard or walks tight-throttled by a leash. There is no giving of a paw or speaking for tidbits or sitting up for fragments from a master’s supper. Turf lies beneath the feet, and there are spots where the trees edge close enough to shut out all sight of the city. And the annoyance of city smells is less, particularly on clear, cold mornings in March. You cannot convince any of these dogs that they are merely carrying on in a municipal and partly preserved jungle.

breaking of the individual fibers, with the appearance of what athletes call “Charley horse.” The person who is trained in physical efforts knows how to use his tissues to the best advantage. He does this by keeping his oxygen "debt” as low as possible. The maximum of oxygen taken in is reached usually from two to three minutes after the beginning of work. Once this point is reached, it is possible to work harder and faster, hence any one about to engage in a severe muscular performance may breathe rapidly and deeply five or six times before starting, and warm up by proper exercises. The warming-up process is regularly indulged in by prize fighters, baseball players, chorus girls, and others about to submit their muscular systems to severe strain. It is important to teach children early the necessity for the warmingup process, because the child at play or in competition with other children may produce exhaustion in its body without the realization that exhaustion is dangerous and is preventable by proper procedures.

Editor Times—l would like to answer the woman who signed herself "An Ex-T. 8.-er.” I w'ould like to ask this woman, who left Sunnyside to continue her convalescence at home, why she left the most wonderful institution of its kind in the country to go home, where she knew her husband could not afford the comforts and the nourishing food and constant attention of a physician, which are essential to the proper care of the T B. patient. I do not happen to be in any way , connected with Sunnyside or the!

They should have an appropriation twice as large as they have.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Montana Was the Favorite Stamping Ground for Dinosaurs 75 Million Years Ago. THE bones of two monsters that roamed in northern Montana some 75.000.000 years ago have been added recently to the collections of the Smithsonian institution. The two creatures represent species of dinosaurs not previously known. Seventy-five million years ago northern Montana was a semitropical swamp and a favorite stamping ground for dinosaurs. The two specimens are unusually interesting. The first, whose bones henceforth will have in scientific catalogs the name "palaeoscincus rugosidens,” belonged to the w r cird armored dinosaur group, but its bones show peculiarities which make it a distinct type. i “Palaeoscincus,” Dr. Charles W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate pale- ; ontology says, "had some features I unduplicated in any other animal form. j “It was the originator of the j ‘ball-and-chain’ idea. At the tip • its tail, which was about five feet long, was a ball-like mass of bone weighing about fifty pounds. “The fossilized specimen in the Smithsonian collection is so heavy that some effort is required for a strong man to lift it. At- first glance it would seem that the monster carried this ball as a weapon with which to fell any enemy which came upon it from the rear." XXX Complete Mystery STUDY of the other bones shows, Gilmore says, that it could not | have been used for such a purpose. “It was so heavy that the animal : hardly could have lifted the tail, ! even with an extreme effort,” he says. “Furthermore, several of the vertebrae in the tail were fused toj gether, so that this organ did not j have the requisite flexibility for swinging. < “Actually, the huge ball must have been dragged along the ground when the dinosaur moved, much as the convict must? drag the heavy steel ball attached to his leg. The effect of the bone mass would have been to prevent the tail rising from the ground. j “The mystery of this queer anaj tomical feature is increased by the i fac t that palaeoscincus might have j been in a bad fix if his unwieldy tail got stuck in the mud. “Although living in a swampy environment he probably spent most of his time on the sandy margins of the marsh, largely to‘avoid the danger of becoming mired." Palaeoscincus rugosidens, Gilmore says, also had a thick bone cover W'hich he could close down over his eye. Concave pieces of bone-shaped I peifectly to fit over an eye, were I found unattached in each orbital cavity. They hardly could have : served any other purpose than cs :eye covers. XXX Built for Battle npHE other new species, which has ; A been named "styracosaurus ovatus,” is represented only by the l top of the skull, which shows it to be a hitherto undescribed type of the great horned dinosaurs. It probably was a contemporary of palaeoscincus—a much larger animal and also a plant eater. “The specimen shows that j styraco-saurus was about as well 1 equipped for offense as palaeoscincus : for defense,"- Gilmore says. “The outstanding peculiarity is found in i the six great horns, or hornlike bone ! Processes, that project from the ; Skull. “Specimens of closely related species show that this great creai ture probably had, in proportion to I its weight, the smallest brain of any animal that ever lived on land. “The enormous skull, six feet 1 long, contains space for nervous I tissue only about the size of a man’s fist. “Some idea of w'hat styracosaurus must have looked like in life, might be obtained by imagining a Texas horned toad magnified about 100 j times. “The result would be an even weirder animal than the ancient monster."

Daily Thought

It is not good that the man should be alone.—Genesis 2:18. The first bond of society is marriage.—Cicero. The Sunnyside Guild does a wonderful work, and the money they j make is spent to very good advantage for comforts of the patients, necessary clothing w’hcn one is unable to purchase same, extras of all kinds, and for the entertaining of i the children who are there away from home and parents. Remember, the Sunnyside Guild is a group of well-meaning, hardworking women who interest themselves in this institution. I have had both a husband and a small child out at Sunnyside, and I must say that neither one has ever had a complaint of their treatment in any way, and while my husband came home to finish his treatments, he did so because he knew that we would have a sleeping porch, where he could isolate himself, a fine doctor of tuberculosis, also all the nourishing food that he required. He alw r ays was loud in his praise of Sunnyside. So I am at a loss to understand, when we have such a wonderful institution at our very doors, good doctors to watch over one, good nourishing food and atmospheric conditions, why one should surrender the right to stay there by leaving and coming home where there are not even half the com- ; forts, where the husband is not financially able to meet the required expenses of properly taking care of the tuberculosis patient, and where one will have to exhaust their acquired energy in ever so little •housework. Why expect the guild to look after one when a wonderful opportunity has been relinquished? Os course, I understand that home means a lot to one, but then if i health is the first consideration, j which it should be, should not one be willing to put up with a little inconvenience of being away from this home for some time in order to regain this health? Without health, what is even a home? A SUNNYSIDE ADMIRER.
