by Arthur Brisbane WHAT OF U. S. WORKMEN? REMEMBER WILSON’S TRIPS Mr. INSULL FINDS A JOB SWIFT DEATH IN ITALY

Great Britain “gives approval to the tariff armistice. The assumption is that United States tariffs are to be lowered, and everybody nv.de happy * by ending economic warfare among nations." Ending economic warfare sounds pleasant. But what about the international differences in wages! and , manaufcturing costs, and different standards of living? Tearing down tariff walls to obligate foreign workmen and manufacturers that need our markers, and at the same time revising foreign debts to oblige nations that borrowed from us, would be pleasant for foreign-; er*. less pleasant for Americans. This country feels that a good worker'is entitled to a decent home, auto- , mobile, education for his children, radio, bathtub and reasonable leisure He cannot have that if he must compete in wages with Asiatics ,‘or the Europeans getting 25 cents to 81 a day. Americans should buy from American workers, sp«nd the money in the United States, where they get it. He who advocates bringing down the tariff, to put American workers on a par with 25-cent workers in Asia or $1 workers in Europe, is not a friend Os the United States, its prosperity or its working people. much pleased, hears that President Roosevelt will go to England to attend the economic parley, “making a record crossing on the United States cruiser Indianapolis.’’ The. President announces that he has “no present intention" of attending the conference. Perhaps he remembeis whut happened after 1’ ident Wilson made such a trip, visiting en famille at Buckingham palace r.nd. getting his portrait substituted for Garibaldi’s in many Italian homes That Buckingham lodging gn<L Garibaldi substitution cost thia country many millions of dollar*, to Say nothing of the depression. Chicago will not be'surprised that Samuel Insult, at present residing in Greece, should be inspecting mines, of lignite, a low grade coal, near the village of Devi. Backed by British capital, Mr. Insull expects to supply fuel io p«;rts oh the Black sen and the Aegean. If he succeeds, as he prob-’ ably will-, perhaps, when. conditions change, North and South D kata will invite him to come and show them how to utilize the endles?. applies of lignite that they possess.

Befo c his death, he begged pardon of the, squad that *M>- to kill him, j and shouted: “Long Live Italy!" The condemned man’s wife knew nothing of his whereabouts, speed and secrecy marked everything. Sh'>oting in the back is the penalty for enemies of Italy, Which does not punish ordinary murder with death. Millions that heard President Roosevelt talking to the country will congratulate him on the possession of a “perfect radio voice," every word distinct, every idea clear, a voice carrying conviction. The radio, putting the President in direct touch with those that elected him, is a President's greatest asset and defense Chancellor Hitler tell* German la-

bor: “My life ha* fitted me to see the needs of all classes. • It ought to have titled him to see those needs, for he has been a worker, a plain soldier, desperately wounded, in prison, in hospitals, in poverty. But all this has not enabled him to see the most important truth, namely, that where there is no jus-. tic* there can be no success. The League of Nations being still I engaged in futile peace talk, the Japanese continue their conquest of China. A Japanese plane drops leaflets on the forbidden city of Peiping warning Chinese to cease resistance or suffer. Efforts of Chinese auti-air-craft guns are worthless, or course. The Japanese plane flies too high. Sir Francis Goodenough, wise Englishman, predicts that when prosperity comes back it will rise to a height “never before enjoyed by the human race. Americans, asking each other “What do you think?" will forget their present troubles in a great burst of prosperity when the times comes. The main thing is not to make too many foolish mistakes now. What temperance requires is that workmen should ba able to get, as they used to do, a glass of beer properly made for five cents. Big, established brewers who understand menu facture and distribution will bring that about, unless taxation to made prohibitive.

4 COTTAGES ON WAWASEE WERE ROBBED Furniture From Homes On Natti-Crow Beach Taken in Truck. The robbery of four cottages on j Lake Wawasee, Natti-Crow beach, ■ was discovered Sunday. Two of these cottages belonged to Mis. i Harry Gates of Indianapolis, and the other two to Ross Greenawalt of j Michigan City. . . When Charles Crexs of Ligonier, , drove to his cottage near there, Sun- | day, to do s<>me work, his boys ac- I companied him, and started out to go mushroom hunting. When they , leached the rear of the cottages they [ saw that the canvas which had been I stretched at the rear of these to | protect the back porches, had been j loin off. They hurried to their father, and the cottages were examined. The glass door window of one had been ! smashed in, and it is thought skeleton keys opened the other cottages. I Rugs and; some furniture were taken from Mrs. Gates’ cottages and rugs and a radio from Mr. Greena-[ wait’s. / Ralph Lung of Cromwell, said when he was at Natti-Crow Beach, Thursday, and went mushroom hunting near the robbed cottages, the < av; s had n< t been torn then. No hacks were on the drive leading to these four cottages, Saturday, and I Sunday’s fair weather permitted the Lacks of a truck to remain in the* drive. So it is. believed the cottages were robbed Saturday night. jMrs. Gates came from Indianapo- , lis late Monday, and discovered that I the 25 gallons of oil she had put in ; her storage lank about two weeks! ago, had been taken. She also discovered on examining the cottages! that KtOV««s had he«»n tihivwi from »b«> j kitchens to the back porches, which | would indicate the robbers planned to come back for more. The cottage on the lake in which Mrs. Gates lives was not entered, 1- X --- L 2 L --. ... . 1.1. «z) »mA *

and the four which were robbed are across the road. When Charles Winifield of Columbia City visited his cottage at Natti-J Crow beach, Sunday, he found that’ a percolator, fishipg rod and reel I several such articles had been ; Stolen, entrance having been gained through a window. When Mrs. E. W. Hendry of Chicago opened her summer home, in the row of homes on the north shore, j eight of which had been entered rejcently.she discovered the shutters on her windows were loose, and glass had been cut at the side near where Window pegs fasten windows. But i Mr*. Hendry had nailed her windows down, so no entrance was gained. j.. FAREWELL PARTY FOR FOISTS I About 125 members of the Evangelical church, and neighbors and friends of Rev. R„ G. Foust and 'hi* family, held a supper in the church pallors, Tuesday night, in honor of the closing of Rev. Foust’s ’ term of service as pastor of the k Evangelical church here. A bounteous supper was served after which J the crowd retired te the main audi-

toium of the church for a short program. . Rev. Amstrong, of the Methodist church spoke very fittingly in behalf of his appreciation of the relations existing between the Sister churches of the town and the services rendered by Rev. Foust and his family. Rev. Reidenbach ofafthe United I Brethren church made a few very fitting remarks as well?as Rev. My- ' grant, a former pastor of the church here. The meeting was closed with a response from Rev. Foust. Mr. Soltau, Supt. of the Sunday Schoo! spoke in behalf of the school and presided over the meeting. Many expressions regarding the long term of service and the cheerful and helpful attitude of Rev. Foust and his famfty toward the community were mentioned and the meeting closed with ah expression of the best wishes of the congregation for success in his new field of labor near South Bend. o MORE RECORDS’ After publishing recent records of children in school attendance, the Journal staff have learned that all of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bushong, Gerald, Mary, Merritt and Guy, attended the grade school and High school without being absent or tardy, except Guy, who missed 8 days from High School because of measles. This was announced at the I time of their school days, as the state record.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME VOTED DOWN BY TOWN BOARD ' In spite of the endorsement of ‘ Daylight Saving Time by the com--1 mercial culb at its meeting, the : town board unanimously “turned I down" the plan when it was brought ' before the meeting Tuesday evening. They claimed that they were not I being swayed by their own personal I convictions, when they noted “No” i but were voting the sentiment of the ! people of the community whom they : I found not at all in favor of D.S;T. , i The board members said they ’ found out these sentiments by ques- | i tioning business men, some farmI ers,- and the managers' of the lake; ’ hotels. As can readily be seen there i is a variation in the information the ; town board collected, and that exj pressed by the members of the • Chamber of Commerce in voting for D. S. T. George Xanders and L. A. Seider, representing the C. of C., laid the Daylight Saving proposition before the board, explaining its benefits to , the community, claiming the town I should adopt the plan and giving the reasons why they favored it. i I H. C. Buettner and Frank Klink I spoke against the plan, claiming ! that the farmers would not come to I trade in Syracuse if the town moved ; i I its clocks ahead an hour. — During the discussion it was 1 brought -out that clerks in stores j were afraid they would have to work I • j ! longer hours if the plan were adopted. George Xanders also told the ; board that there was an ordinance I on the town books adopting daylight saving time, which was not being enforced. Wanted Rate Adjustment. i Claiming that he was paying too much for city water, Frank Klink asked for a reduction on the amount he paid, giving as his reason that ’ there was not any more water used in his house than in other houses, even if there were two bathrooms in his house. After some consideration, f the would be gone over to see if some adjustment could be made in cases similar to Klink’s. , W. G. Connolly said that he was in favor of some discount to all wa-

| ter users if it were possible. The I other board members thought that I this would not be possible. Among the matters discussed at the meeting was marking the streets ! for parking, and the moving of street lights. A letter will be sent to Adams, head of the highway commission, to find out if this commission has jurisdiction over the portions of Main and Huntington street which are used as part of state road 13, If the highway commission has no jurisdiction, the street will be marked so tht cars can be parked at an angle to the curb instead of parallel to the curb as the highway department marked the streets last year. It was decided at the meeting to move a street light from south of the tracks, on South Main street, to replace the light that was removed from the corner of John and Lake streets. * Frank Klink, John Grieger and Harry L. Porter were appointed by the board to bepresent the town with the board and township trustee at the meeting of the County Municipal League which meeting is to be held . i lea W « 11? ♦ siniernt

PIG WASN’T KIDNAPPED—RAN AWAY, BUT FOUND THROUGH AD

When Mrs. C. W. Howard came, into the Journal office for her papery last Thursday afternoon, and commenced reading it before reaching the door, her eyes fell upon the item that Marcel, the red pig which had been a gift to Mrs. M. M. Smith and family had disappeared from the yard of their home in Pottowatomie Park, where it had been tied to a stake. Mrs. Howard said, between laughs: “You know, I believe Fm the guilty party but I’m afraid to tell them now. I didn’t know they had a pig. I was getting ready to come over to the plumbing shop, one morning last week. I had let Dusty “(her black cocker spaniel)" outdoors and when I was ready to start for town, I call-! ed him. And he didn’t come. He us-1 ually comes the minute I call.” The Howards live not far from the Smiths. “I looked down the road and there, was Dusty running down toward Nelson Miles’ cottage, running along playing with a little red pig. Well, I didn’t know how any pig got in there in Pottowatomie Park, and I was in a hurry. The more I ran after the two, calling Dusty, the faster they both ran. the other way, and it kept on raining. “I think it was half an hour later I finally caught hold of Dusty and I

DR. WINGER HEARD AT DRY MEETING OF ii SYRACUSE CHURCHES ,■ Dr. Otho Winger, President of s Manchester College, and L. E. York 1 of Indianapolis addressed the union - service of churches of Syracuse and Ij Turkey Creek township, in the 1 High School, Sunday evening. r j Dr. Winger urged dry voters to iget out to vote for dry candidates to (the state convention, June 6, so that 51 Indiana will vote against the 21st i -.amendment which repeals the 18th. | Dr. Winger said: "The Wets say, ' turn the liquor question beck to the ■ States, let each state decide whether 'lit will be wet or dry, when every ’’day sees the advance in creating in Washington of the most autocratic central government that this country or any country has ever known. ” After being introduced by Frank Greene, Dr. Winger said he was glad to talk anywhere on the subject lof keeping the 18th amendment of ■ the constitution effective, but he ! thought more action and less talk I was needed. He said that throughout [the country, teachers and ministers ' are against the passing of the 21st ; I amendment which defeats 18th amendment. ! a The 18th amendment w?s the cli- 1 max of 100 years work, he said. It i was not put across by a few fanat- ! ics at a certain time, as the wets ! (would say. Thomas Jefferson said 'something should be done to stop this nuisance. An Indian chief went ’ to Washington pnd pleaded with the j white men to stop the sale of liquor i to Indians which was killing more of J his people than all wars. In 1833 was the first dry organiza- ' tion. In 1872 the prohibition party was organized. In 1873 the W. C. I T. U. was organized, and in the l'9o’s the Anti-Saloon league. In the j '9o’s “scientific temperance” was i taught in the Grades. The Wets would picture the Drys as a few fanatics, Dr. Winger said, when in reality, cold-blooded •science studied the question and took ■ a stand against liquor. Cold-blooded ibusiness men were against it, Dr. Efetfa^aW 3 rto r aJ h drunken engineer, when 40 passengers were killed, this railway said [no man could work-for that company if he drank. “More than half the states were

'dry before the 18th amendment was j passed,” Dr. Winger said. “The depression has been blamed on the 18th 'amendment. The wets say prosperity j will return with the sale of liquor, i from increased business and from taxes. They make no mention of the 10 years of prosperity which followed the passing of the 18th amend- ’ ment. Everything is blamed on the j 18th amendment, even the recent California earthquake. Senator Glass said to the Democratic party when the 21st Amendment came up in Congress, “If you pass this amendment, there will be no place in the United States that will h<ve any protection from the saloon," Dr. Winger said. He was I comparing the two amendments, the 1 18th which said that Congress and I the several states had concurrent power to enforce the law, whereas no mention of enforcement is in the 21st amendment. Dr. Winger said that Wets say the 18th amendment put the saloons (Continued on Last Page)

.brought him home, I just supposed ■ the pig had strayed from Clee Hibschman’s, (the farmer who owns the land reaching down to Pottowatomie Park on Syracuse Lake, and Indian Hill). I thought he could find his way back. I had to go home and change my clothes. My hair and my clothes were soaking wet. “But this says here it was tied. Do you suppose Dusty helped chew it loose? I’m afraid to say anything to Mrs. Smith. I feel pretty guilty.” Friday morning when Clee Hibschman read his Journal he saw the news that a pig had left home. He called Mrs. Smith on the telephone and said he was not a “villian” or hadn’t kidnapped the pig as the |Journal story would indicate, but | that about a week ago, about noon a •little red pig had appeared near his 'barn yard. He couldn’t imagine ! where it came from, as it wasn't similar to his stock of pigs, but he . fed it and kept it with the rest, expecting the owner to come along some day looking for it. He told the Journal staff, when interviewed, he would not bring suit for defaming his character if we would clear it of all guilt in this (week’s edition. Marcel has been found, and not ■ kidnapped for ransom as was at feared.
