George H. Knollenberg

The death of George H. Knollenberg removes
man who has been identified with the business
life of this community and of eastern Indiana
for more than fifty years., For many years he
was called eastern Indiana's pioneer merchant,
and retrospection shows that he well deserved
the title not only because of the length OF his
business career but also because of the high in
tegrity and nobility Of purpose that character
lied his life.
In the course of the last few years, Richmond
has lost almost all it's pioneers Mr.. knoenberg
was of the last in the Industrious catalogue OF
men who years ago set out to make Richmond an
ideal city.
The greatness of Mr.. Knoenberg is not to be
found in his mercantile success, brilliant as it
was. His sterling traits of character, his devo-
ton to high ideals, his liberal support of merit
orious enterprises, his expenditures of thousands
CT dollars to educate poor boys and girls, and his
active participation in every civic Improvement
that would rebound to the welfare of the city,
marked him true leader in the community.
Financial success did not harden his heart
against the appeal of the poor and lowly poor
boy himself, he never lost sight, during his
career, of the obstacles that confront persons in
adverse circumstances, and was always willing
and ready to help remove the handicap of ad-
versity
His benefactions were so many and so varied
that they cannot be catalogued He helped re-
heve distress, educate poor boys and girls estab-
lsh institutions of learning. Thousands of dol
lars were given by him for church purposes, mis-
sions, civic affairs, education cultural and reform
movements. Most of his benefactions were given
quietly and without publicity.
His life and career will not be forgotten
quickly in this community, where hundreds of
persons were benefited by his kindness and in
fluenced by his character. Such a man is an
asset to the city. He is determining factor in
it's development. He is a center from which
radiate unseen but powerful incentives for right
thinking and right living that do not perish with
the man but go on, indefinitely perpetuating
themselves and continually melting others to
seek high ideals and to manifest them in life
The man is dead but his influence in this
community lives on. His worth is not estimated
in the value Of his estate but in the greatness of
his character and his willingness to help others

To Provide for Common Defense

Most Americans believe that this nation
should never be found as unprepared for national
defense as it was when it entered the war. De-
plorable conditions then revealed the necessity
of adequate armed forces and sufficient NUM-
tons to protect the national honor.
The Kansas City Star believes it is the para
mount duty of Congress to provide for the COM
mon defense, adducing the following argument:
The army general staff's program to make
universal military training and service part OF
the army organization plan-the plan that will
provide permanent policy of national defense
ought to receive such unmistakable signs OF pub
lie support as will convince Congress that it's pat
rotic duty is to enact this legislation at the pres
ent session.
Even if the administration forbids the gen.
eral staffs initiative in this matter the duty of
Congress will remain unchanged. 1t should then
initiate it in it's own military committees and
make it part of any army reorganization mea-
sure that receives its approval.
The present Congress will not be able to plead
even so poor excuse political expediency for ne
glecting an imperative duty. Such considerations
ought to have mighty little weight with this
Congress which is drawing to its end II this
Congress thinks the country made great mis-
take in not returning it last month it might in
duce the country to share that view by an act of
real craftsmanship performed after the possibil-
ity of any political reward has passed. 1t could
take no nobler revenge upon the incoming Con-
gress than to anticipate the action that Congress
will be almost certain to take, by passing uni
versal service law now.
The present Congress probably will have
passed into history before peace is signed at Yer
sailles. This Congress, therefore, can have no
knowledge or guarantee that the peace confer
ence will evolve anything-a League of Nations
or any other plan-to take the place of prepared
ness as a means of national security. If it ad-
lourns without providing for the future national
defense it will leave the country the choice of two
conclusions-either that this Congress is so
spirtless that it is willing to leave the credit of
great constructive measure to its successor, or
that it is so devoid Of national feeling that it is
willing to believe, without proof, that an inter-
national league will be the outcome of peace, that
it will be successful in operation and that the
American Nation can safely turn over to it the
most sovereign function a nation can possess and
exercise. That function the constitution of the
United States includes specifically among those
for which the Union was formed-"to provide
for the common defense"
1t is not delegated to any foreign or interna-
tional agency, nor will any Congress that so dele
gates it without providing defense by national
army deserve well of the country.
