1T is disQuieting for the revisionists
that NJ. Faure now confers the pre-
miership upon NJ. Dupuy. as these two
are called upon to screen their former
colleague, General Mercier. Certainly
the combination occurred somewhat
tardily. now that the court of cassa-
ton is In possession of the affair. but
on the other hand NJ. De Freycinet. the
new minister of war. who has been
four times premier, has never faced
difficulties. but has always turned from
them or eluded them. He is a past mas

tons by petty solutions. and fear that

there are such labyrinths in his brain
that YOU never know what Ariadne

pect any surprises rather than clear
solution. Nobody, however. denies the
superiority of his nature. and 1t may
be hoped that. being satiated with Of

the dream Of supreme power cherished
so many years. he will place his great
subtlety and adroitness at the service

above the odium which folly and false pride
have fastened upon them, and nowhere are
the adventitious circumstances of wealth
and birth brought so little into competition
with real merit and usefulness as here"
These characteristics have remained with
New Harmony, and at a later period, when
it was the center of culture in the middle
West, they exercised a humanizing infiu-
ence upon the life of the State.
Does our study of these two communities
headed, respectively, by Rapp and by
Owen, warrant any general conclusion as
to the feasibility of such schemes? Hardly
Yet the pecuniary success of the Rappites
and similar societies surely forbids any dec
laration that common property is impossi-
be One great difference between the two
is that in the one the members were bound
together by the powerful tie of common
religious opinion, while in the other there
seemed to be no binding principle. This diff
ference is, in itself sufficient to account for
the failure of the Owen experiment. Per-
haps this failure gives ground for the be-
lief that where the economic motive is domi-
nant communism is impossible. At any rate,
taking the two experiments together, we
must feel that we are justified in at least
considering the feasibility of any proposed
scheme of communism The question wheth-
er it is desirable, even when feasible, pre-
sents another issue.

small companies were nominally formed
into communities, but really they secured
land on easy terms and cultivated it upon
the individual plan. Many, also, left New

to make common stock with Community

1,500 acres, with the improvements thereon,
to a certain William Taylor. This sale in

any other. This step really marked the death

From this time the individual system be-

END OF THE VENTURE.
There are vague references after this to
certain societies composed of persons en-
gagged in similar occupations, but it is,
nevertheless, clear that the community was
dead The funeral was preached by the
New Harmony Gazette March %, 1927 when
the editor (Robert Dale Owen confessed
that New Harmony is not now a commun-

congratulation in the eight or ten small
communities located on land leased from

So much for the economic features.
Owens communism was indssolubly con-

the aid of William Mcclure, financially and
otherwise Mcclure joined the community

tific men and several teachers of the Pesta-
lozzian school, notably Joseph Neef. Owen
hoped much from a rational system of edu-
cation that should train the young in such
habits that they would form true commun-
lists. The educational department however
was infected with the prevailing disorder,
and instead of one unified school system
there were three schools, with the result
that in this field also expectations were not
realized Yet there were certain permanent
intellectual results. communication in
the Gazette of Dec. 26. 1927, gives the fol-
lowing as the real result of Owens expert
ment. Nowhere is to be found society

animosities Nowhere have the necessary
vocations of life been so entirely elevated

OUR OLD BATTLE FLAGS.
Writer who Says They Are Neg
Iected and Moth Eaten.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Flags are evidence of the upheaval of his
torical strata; ergo they should be put in
charge of the state geologist, and housed in
cases in the museum along with petrifac-
tons and other strange things. The erst-
while statesmen of Hoosierland, who con-
signed the battle flags of Indiana's brave
troops, and the twelve captured Confederate
colors to their present cold storage, were
humorists of the Hoosierac age. When one
peers through the glass fronts of the flag
cases in the geological curio chambers, and
sees moth and such like creatures roting in
an epicurean feast of red, white and blue,
then one wishes the legislative humorists
had also enacted that the geologist should
pull the teeth of all Lepidopterous insects
that enter his domain Oh, it is a crying
shame! Indianians. go, and with increasing
pride look your high-towering monumeng
-one that will be the grandest of its kind
in all the world-erected to glorify your
brave soldiery; monument costing much
treasure and which is at best but symbol
of war to claim the attention of future gem
erations; then, go to the Capitol Museum,
and. with head bowed in abasement, look
upon the furled tandards-standards that
were once advanced in the midst of hurting
shells and kissing balls in the front of gall
liant foes on many bloody fields, and see ne
glect and moth doing what the enemy could
not do-destroying them.
1t is very shame. Indanians, where are
all the men who shouted themselves hoarse
when the soldiers of your State marched
away with these flags in the sixties? Is
there no one left to raise voice to preserve
them? Could they have been brought out of
their geologic cells on Memorial day. and
planted about the monument instead of
cheap symbols, they would have stood for
something Notwithstanding real; they
would have been a glorious sight for the
veterans. How it would have made the
blood surge in their veins to have seen the
old battle flags stretching out their stars
and stripes in the breeze! 1t would have
been also a significant lesson for the young
But alas, 1t could not be, for the legislative
humorists who imrnured them in the geo.
logic salon literally locked the cases and
threw the keys away; and until some future
legislators enact law to release them they
must stay there and be preyed upon py
bugs and crawling things.
There should be fame temple for these
flags in which they could stand unfuried,
and there should be a history of each regi-
ment and battery that guarded and cher-
ished them placed therein, that all mlghs

AS to the Confederate flags. What of the
Confederate flag? A cross of st. Andrew
1T was wrought by no herald skilled in

But sprung from the bristling battle lines,
The flag of a nations fate!

Unfurled to maidens prayer,
And its stars, besprent upon azure, blent

1t was something; it is nothing. The cause
that brought it into existence is now but

My soldier love depart;
And the echong drum in its clangor beat
No wilder than my heart.
With the pride of youth his nerves were steeled
strange light shone in his eye,
AS he marched away to the battlefield,
From his love and his home to die
He raised trumpet, and softly breathed
Through the sounding brass, farewell;
And the flag in the sunshine gayly wreathed,
And fioated and rose and fell.

The Kahn Tailoring Company is an
institution of which any city ought to
be proud. Set our store down on the fin

We buy our fabrics direct from the
mills and the importers. We buy largely
and wisely. We buy oftenr-no new, ex-

All our clothes are made under Our

hire. Our principal cutter is the highest
priced cutter in Indiana. The tailors
who charge you 500 or $40 for business
suit have no such high-priced man-nor
SO valuable man.
Yet our prices are 1ow--low even when
we have made no sweeping reduction like
the present one.
But that is not because we are ''cheap"
tailors.
It's because we buy in large quanti-

Because we pay spot cash and get the
top discounts.
Because we do our business in bust
ness-like way-there are no leakagcs and

Because we have systematized every

Because we are progressive, wide

Because our business is of such vol
