DOING WITHOUT SIGHT. Th-re are two words which used to Lo applied to the blind but which today are abholutt-ly ruled out of all intelligent di.scuion of the future that lies ahead of the war-blinded roldicr or blinded civilian. Those two word ar "resignation'' and 'afflicted." It was the general belief in the blind man's "hopeless affliction" that made it po dithcult in the past for him to have any hope or joy in life. It was the "patient resignation" preached to him by well-meaning friends that made independence, mental and physical development and the rrjuirinij of skill in some worth while work Impossible, and that condemned the blind man i r woman to idleness, dependence and beggary. Sir Arthur Pi arson, a blind man. and a prominent nntl successful worker with the blind, has given hop to hundreds of Knglish soldiers whose eyesight wis destroyed in the war. He came to America recently to tell Americans what his soldiers are doing. In the classrooms and workshops of St. Dunsian's, Sir Arthur's London institution, these men have learned not only how to make a living, bur how to make a better living than they did before. In many cases the earning power has been doubled and trebled. Sir Arthur Pc-arson describes a blinded soldier who has "made good" in a poem he has written. These are the lines: "Confident, refvolute, cherry, Sure-footed, alert and bright, Just a normal human boing Doing without his sii;ht."

If blind hOldiers can become happy, self-reliant, productive, forward-looking citizens, so can blind civilians, blind children. Kverythin possible hpuld be done to avoid preventable- blindness. Hut for thoso to whom blindness has come, there is no longer any need of despair. A full, rich, active life is theirs for the trying.

The Melting Pot OOMKt TAKE POTLUCK WITH US

PUBLICITY FOR CHILD CONDITIONS.' The first stop In the back to school movement n every locality should be publicity. Not publicity with regard to the campaign alone, hut with regard to the rdate and local legislation which either helps or hinders the movement. T2vcry man. woman and child in every state in the I'nion should be made familiar with local school and child labor laws. The newspaper, the pulpit, the school and that great publicity medium, the moving picture screen should all present frequently to the public what is being done to educate and protect Its coming citizen?. If the laws are good but not enforced, not only a few welfare workers, educators and truant ollicers should know it, but every father and mother, every preacher, every voter in the community. If the laws are poor they should be treated to the same blazing publicity, as should thoe who oppose their betterment. In no department of human affairs is it truer that "men loved darkness better than light because their deeds were evil.V than in the exploitation of the child in the ranks of labor before he is fitted for it by either bodily developrm nt or education. Publicity for the reasons for educ.tion, publicity for the laws enforcing it and for the laws of health in -ht-parable from the others this we must have if the back to school campaign is to have any real or lasting a 1 u e.

A "CAPITALIST" STRIKE. Out of Germany conns what a New Vork paper aptly calls a "homeopathic remedy" for bolshevism. It is a strike of the "capitalistic clasV against the "laboring class;" ir in more approved socialistic terminolocy. a strike of the "bourgeoisie" against the "proletariat." It happened in Ducsse'dorf. The Spartacans, or German bolsheviki. had started a reign of terror there, and threatened with their usual arrogance to "tie up everything." It looked bail for Duesseldorf. Then the leading businessmen of th- city got together and decided to give the "reds" a dos- of their own medicine. The bankers, merchants, manufacturers. lawyers, doctors, public othcials and school teachers all stopped work. They refused to open their offices or do any work. Immediately ever thing in the city had to shut down tight. There was no business transacted, public or private. Even the restaurants and theaters were c.ed. The stagnation was more complete thn any of the Sj artacans had been able to effect anywhere. Hesult the "reds" yielded in short order, stopping their terrorism and rcsumiug their usual places in the conomic organization. It was a spectacular demonstration of the fact, Iai5iili.tr u every level-h-ad-d man but ignored by the radical socialists, that th men who work with their heads are Just exactly as necessary to the economic system as the nun who work with their hand, and that '"labor" cannot gt t along without "capital" any more than ' capital" can get along without "labor." Pos,-jb! this points the way to a real solution of the bolshevist problem. Koishevlsm or Spurtacanism or I. W. W.-U:u could hardlv survive a similar demonttra-

I.INCOLNLKSS. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) Our republican friends had a fine time at the banquit of the Lincoln Protective club in Louisville Wednesday night, the occasion binp the anniversary of Abraham Iancoln. There was a tine turnout of republicans; there was a happy pervasion of festal spirit, an abundant flow of party spirit; but there was a conspicuous lack of the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. Indeed, the celebration mlKht far more appropriately have been in memory of such a partisan as, say John A. Logan or Eugene Hale than of Abraham Lincoln. There was little about the banquet except its date to suggest Lincoln. The speeches, with one notable exception, however forcible and fervid they may have been, were narrowly partisan, of a partisanship that is time-worn and even time-honored among the old-stagers of both the republican and democratic party organizations. It is still in vogue today among the republicans who are republicans merely by birth or habit and because they are ag'in the democrats, and among th democrats who are democrats by birth or habit and because they are ag'in the republicans. Put among both republicans and democrats who vote for principles instead of party labels it Is obsolete. It may get out the votes of those who always vote the party ticket, good or bad, but it does not hold the votes or win the votes of those who vote because they wish to fee the best policies and the best man win. And theso are the voters who more and more are coming to be the controlling factors in American elections. As parties were aligned in his day Lincoln was a republican, but ho was not a partisan republican. He was so much bvoader and greater that now It Is only by the partisan republicans that he is recalled and exploited as a republican at all. The most unjust criticism, the bitterest opposition by .vhlch he was besot came from the partisan republicans of his time. If those speeches at the banquet Wednesday nitfht had been made by ghosts of the republicans of Lincoln's time they would have been made, with the one exception before noted, not by Abraham Lincoln, but by the partisans of his party who could see as little good in him as their successors of today profess to see in Woodrow Wilson. Those speeches Wednesday night may have answered their purpose if that purpose was to tickle merely the thlck-and-thln republicans, but they were misdirected if they were intended to add any strength to the thick-and-thin republicans. To admit no good In the past seven years of democratic government of the country; to attribute what was well done in the conduct of the war to the republicans; to explain all mistakes or alleged mistakes by the fact that democrats were in power, and to belittle and sneer at the war president because ho was made president by the democrats, is not the way to appeal to the intelligence of

democrats who honor and revere the memory of Lincoln no le&s than any American who calls himself a republican. The exception among those speeches to which the Courier-Journal has referred was that of Mr. Morrow. It was a speech worthy of a Lincoln anniversary. Does anyone who knows Abraham Lincoln believe that if he had been present at that banquet the greathearted Emancipator of the 19th century could have listened with sympathy to the partisan depreciation of the great-hearted Emancipator of the 20th century? Would he not have felt more inclined to take Edwin Morrow by the arm and walk out into a -more congenial atmosphere? PROPAGANDA. (Indianapolis News.) The German propagandists could not ask a more favorable held for their activities than Taris now offers. Realizing that the peace conference is to determine the fate of Germany, they will do everything In their power to weaken the conference, and to discredit the representatives of each nation in the eyes of the people of the other nations. Wo have an illustration right at hand. Yesterday it was announced, on what seemed to be excellent authority, that there was to be an international army, and that on this point Great Britain and the United States had yielded to France. Now, Lord Robert Cecil fays that there has been no such decision, and that, in his opinion the commission of

which he is a member would decline to approve an such plan. "Such a report" he said, "must have originated from an enemy of the peace conference." There will be many reports emanating from hostile sources, and the people should be prepared for them. It has been assumed that there was opposition to the original French proposals as to the administration of German territory west of the Rhine, and as to temporary French control of German coal fields. France asked no more than was right, and the conference must realize that fact. Rut when certain individual Frenchmen insist on the maintenance of an international army in France, that is a different matter. On that point there can be an honest difference of opinion, without any hard feelings on either side. It is unfortunate that there should be so much secrecy in connection with the conference, for the result is to leave large room for speculations, guesses and rumors. The whole atmosphere is favorable to propaganda.

That there have been differences, some cf them serious, is undeniable. If there is any possibility of exaggerating them it will be improved to the uttermost. The American people should at least not assume the worst in all cases, and should maintain a hopeful attitude until such time if it ever comes, as hope is forbidden them. We know that there are German propagandists in this country. These people are also working in Paris. THANKS, MR. hays: (Indianapolis Times.) Now that Will Hays has promised us all better times in his Pittsburgh speech we all feel better today. It is mighty kind of Mr. Hays to do this, after we have gone so long with next to nothing. Hoover, the terrible man. came alons and took our food away from us; Dr. Garheld took cur coal away from us; McAdoo made us save our money r.r.d we h.ve all been sood and sore. Maybe it was good for us, but nevertheless it mad" us sore. Ard now Mr. Hays come.s al-p.g and with one wave of his wand restores condition. to normal and vys the days of plenty will soon descend upon us. What a blessed thing it is to have one in our midst like the republican national chairman. Sorre treat rescuer to save us from the 'recd of dcsfrCts. ?om grea; conqueror to restore to the people their rights. Everybody get ready for the fat years. They are sure to come because Will Hays has bespoke them for us. And If they come, or rather when they come we must remember that antecedent events have nothing whatever to do with them; effect does not necessarily follow cause. They will be due to the fact that a new Mose has come to ua to lead us out of the wlldernes. if w will but follow.

Mixed up with the genera! unpleasantness of being confined in bed for a couple of days w-ith what everybody insisted was the "flu", was the happy experience of finding out Just how good to one the other members of the family can be at times.

The health secretary evidently believes that his duties will increase along with his pay check. Witnesses in the case against Tony Parrett In the city court evidently are more interested in getting a pension for themselves than they are in forcing law violators to pay the penalty of their transgressions. At hast it looks that way whenever Tony is implicated. Mayor ('arson is to have hit up on a successful way in which to avoid saying the things he ought not to say. The mayor's plan of avoiding being quoted officially is to remain away from his office at the city hali. Little John Warner lives over on W. Division St., and although he Is only five years old, he already has a well developed desire for everything in the way of cake and cookies. John has the happy faculty of making friends with the neighbor?, especially the housewives who do their own baking, and include cake and cookies in the dally output. Among John's friends is a lady who makes excellent cake and cookies, and just about the time the products are ready to be taken from the oven, the tiny youngster is sure to appear on the kitchen scene. The otjer day the lady of the culinary proficienc- had Just taken a handsome, toothsome cake and a panful of crisp cookies from the oven, and was Just placing them on the table when she was frightened almost out of her wits by an object running into her. Almost overcome by fright, the lady turned to perceive that the object was John, and still under the influence of the fright she had Just received, .she grabbed hold of the youngster with the startling declaration. "Why, John Warner," she saJd. "I'm never going to give you another piece of cake as long as I live." The boy looked at the angry and frightened lady unabashed, and with the sweetest smile imaginable he finked. 'That doesn't mean cookies too, does it?" That was too much for the lady. po John left with a big piece of cake In one chubby fist and a handful of cookies in the other. 0 J

measures now before the legislature, i This bill provides that the county

commissioners in every county of the state of Indiana shall decide on the

public utility of roads; it makes thej county a new unit for Issuing bonds; it makes a limit of four percent tax on the total assessed valuation of the county. With the new tax bill,

which will undoubtedly pass and become a law and which will require a cash valuation on property, will double the total assessed valuation of every county in the state. With the scanty safeguards and the tremendous amount of mon?y which may be expended for roads under the provisions of this bill It seems to me that in its present form it is very dangerous and it should be amended. Figure out how much your county can expend for roads under this bill. The bill should have amendments which will In effect require the commissioners of each county to lay out a system of county roads to be built over a period to be determined by the board of county commissioners and that a special election shall be had which will either approve or disapprove the action of the county commissioners and make it impossible for the county commissioners to improve roads with hard surfaces that have not received a majority of the votes of the county electors on the proposition. The tremendous increase in the cost of everything, the demands from all sides for more pay and the increasing number of causes for the expenditure of the public's money are going to make taxes high, and it is necessary that the people should be consulted in this matter.

The demand for new and better!

roads was never so urgent as at the present time, and if the amendments above stipulated are incorporated in this bill will help Its passage, and remove most of the opposition. I would deem It an especial favor if you would bring It before your readers and ask them to write their senator and representatives regarding this important measure. A. H. B.
