THE IN AND THE OUT
rColnsa Sun.1

The Sun would put every striker back
in his former place if it could be done
without discharging some other man
with an equal right to earn living. Jus
tice nowhere demands that one man shall
give up employment in order that an
other may have it, more especially if one
man quits and the other takes up the job
without reduction of wages. Some peo-
pie have an idea that the noisy working
man is the only workingman, and the
quiet man, who goes along earning
dollar when he can, drops out of the pub
lie view; he does not seem to be subject
for sympathy. The unthinking sympa-
thetic would ignore the quiet man and
give its whole heart to the noisy one.

Cleveland to say that he promptly sup
pressed the lawlessness incident to the
strike. His answer to Governor Altgeld
OF Illinois was complete and his subse-

be heartily commended for his prompt

simple in operation and effective in re-

volts is conducted into the kitchen by a
special circuit. A table along the wall
holds the culinary utensils and above is a
switch board. Plugs are inserted into the
switches similar 10 those used in telegraph
and telephone switch boards and the cur

intense heat is quickly generated which

oven, which, when connected in a similar

roast any kind of meat to a turn. No

utilized for the purpose of cooking.

To Drive the Bible Out of the Schools.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
II car never be legislated out. The only
way is to displace 1t by something better

school is now found using it as a reading
book, whereas from fifty to a hundred years
ago it was found in almost all schools.
Every experienced teacher feels the neces-
sity of some ceremonial opening of the
school. as every lodge or camp of every
social order does. These are supplied with
formulas, more or less elaborate, which are
called the opening ceremonies. differing in
details, but in every essential particular
Identical. In the absence of something bet
ter some portions of Scripture are read as
a part Of the opening ceremonies Of most
schools. This gives offense to some people,
BIZ. those who have the greatest cause to
protest are lovers of the Bible, who are
justly offended that so sacred a book should
be used with so little regard TO its char
acter.
Now, let the Superintendent of Public In
Struction or the superintendent of our city
schools, or both together, or each separate

school, and leave it optional with teachers

disappear for the same reasons. 1t would
not be legislated out, but ii would drop out
to give place to a better. If l should pre-
pare such a formula l would begin with:
"All men are created equal, ana they are
endowed by their Creator with certain I'M
alienable rights. Among these are life, lib
erty anG the pursuit of happiness. All
power is inherent in the people and all free
governments are, and of right ought to be,
founded on their authority and instituted for
their peace, safety and well being"
To this I would add wise words from
Washington, Lincoln, Webster and others,
not forgetting Solomon In a space that
need not take more than five minutes to
read In concert there could be gathered a
collection of patriotic and moral lessons
which would be of inestinable value to ev-

songs. This would be applying to our
schools a system of selections that several
of the leading churches have adopted. In
stead of reading a chapter from the Bible
they nave prepared selections in which the
choicest thoughts are collected. OF course,
the little book need not consist of one col
lection only. but there might be one for
each day in the week, with songs to match.
This will get the Bible out of school by in

ufacturing Point.

M. E Ingalls,, president Of the Big Four
lines. in a talk on Saturday with a Journal
reporter, said that from what he had seen
and heard of indianapolis it had gone
through the depressed times much better
than a majority of the cities. He consid-
cred 1t the SoundeSt city in the country.
There had been fewer failures, and, in
fact, none of great Importance, except the
indianapolis National Bank, and the condi-
ton of local affairs was not to blame for its
failure. Any rascal, if president Of a bank,
can loot it if disposed to do so, said Mr..
ingalls,. The other day, when in the city,
he made some observations, and was struck
with the activity on the business streets
and the improvements being made in a gen.
eral way. AS the improving Of the streets
progressed the city began to present a
Clearly, inviting appearance, which denoted
thrift and prosperity. All over the country
the manner Indianapolis had taken care of
its unemployed was favorably commented
on.
So far as the Big Four was concerned, at
no point on the system had the company's
business suffered as little as at %Indianapo-
lis, comparatively speaking. He thought
that the Big Four should nave a good deal
of credit for the new city depots it built
on the South Side and the manner it i'm
proved the streets surrounding it, and he
was not ashamed of the improvement made
on Dillon street in the way of repair shops
and roundhouse of forty stalls. He said he
was not through yet, for he intended to
build at Indianapolis central shops, which
Will be the best arranged and most complete
IN the country, the city being the center of

railway system in this country, none having

ity for indianapolis.

Those who visited the worlds fair in
Chicago during the summer, no doubt, no
ticed on the shore of Lake Michigan, near
the naval exhibit, the old, odd-lookihg gun
with a little placard on it reading, Long
Tom" William II. Crane, the actor. who
played in Chicago during the summer. prob
ably viewed the gun with more interest
than anyone else who saw 1t. He had rea-
sons for this interest, for the gun fur
nished the plot Of his play, The Senator"
This gun was one of several which in 1914
were on the American privateer, General
Armstrong. On Sept. 26 in that year the
vessel put into a neutral harbor in the
Azores for fresh water, and while there was
attacked by a British squadron on it's way
to capture New Orleans. The long gun
played havoc with the British, ii killing
over two hundred, but, seeing that he could
not hold out against overwhelming odds,
the American captain scuttled his ship. As
it was sinking the British set fire to the
hulk. Long Tom" was afterwards raised,
dis covered in a Portuguese fort by a noSey
American, and finally found its way to
this country. The United States govern
ment demanded indemnity from Portugal
for the loss of the ship, but no attention
was paid to Ii. The heirs of the owner of
the Armstrong brought the matter before
Congress, and it was only after seventy
years of weary waiting that the matter
was uecluSu. MANY people III NdSnlnSlOu
remember the claim and the claimants.
When Mr.. Crane presents the play here
at the Grand Opera House, on Saturday
night, he will play the part of the Senator
through whose efforts the claim was al

gaeement will open at the box office this

OF the interminable flight on alighting veered
himself round head to wind on the earth,

countless bodies was brown If you looked

seen round about was the hue afforded by
this sudden invasion. Even while we pre-
pared to yield up the spot to them and pack
our lunch baskets for departure they had
cleared off grass and leaves and every YER
dant thing around, and when they arose
again from the soil, or from any clump OF
trees. in a hungry throng. the place they
quilted had already assumed a barren and
wintry aspect. The Syrian peasants pass

breasts and cursing the Ill fortunes of the

itself taken to living on iocUSts, they would
have hardly made a sensible mark upon
the extraordinary number that drifted that
day over our heads.
