DR.. J. B. Bertling, chairman OF the
meeting Of the Indiana State Medi-

in the high school auditorium. A
fistic encounter in near by theater
was the allurement the speaker re-

in causing the most eminent speak

sparse and pitiful looking, but none
the less appresciative audience.
The principal speaker, DR.. Rufus

place was ably filled by DR.. II. Kes-

arly and mastery treatment OF the
medical profession in such a man

the lay section of the audience.
DR.. McCully said that the medi-

C0RPULENCY VS.. LOVE

State Press, of the Dallas News,
and the chief editorial writer of the
Denison Herald, are at outs and have
entered the lists against each other,
with drawn lances and pens dipped
in vitriol.
And all the trouble which these
knights Of the shears and pastepo.s
must settle, eliminates from a differ
ence of opinion upon what constitutes
that age-old sensation-love, and
whether or not such a thing as true
love ever existed, exists today or
ever will exis..
The Herald man, waxing sarcastic,
after having alleged hat love is a
myth, an exploded theory. a physical
sensation gone wrong, alleges that
States Press belongs to that class
of animated bipeds who are physically
constructed along such lines as will
never appeal to the female eye, OF
awaken longing desires in the female
breast, divine.
The Herald editorial thought ex-
FOUNDER goes so far in pouring forth
his walls of seething vitroil, as to in
innate that state Press is built with
too much corpulency TO yer attract
the attention Of blushing widow, hay
grass or sod, or simpering miss.
Any one who ever had the ques-
tionable pleasure of meeting STATE
Press personally, would, we think
be willing to take the witness stanc
in his behalf, in an outraged-char'
! acter suit. State Press might vii
a few prizes at a human-skeleton con.
tes., but he would V win the
blue ribbon in n fat mans livestock
show,
OF course, taken an together, We
cannot agree in toto with the views
upon the tender passion, as expressed
by the versatile writer Of the Dallas
News. While his language, in The
main, is good, and while his printed
opinions on love read well. al
the same time they have a triflt
too much mixed with them, and flow
too much like buttermilk pouring
from a plymouth jug.
Nevertheless, we feel that he /:
right when he says that there is
such a thing as love. and we feel
that several wealthy men, scattered
about in different sections of the
United States. will state that they
have run up against juries each and
every member of which believed not
only in love and hearts desires, but
in balm for the former, spurned, and
for the latter, wrecked.

HERO Of THE MARINE

Detroit. Mich, Nov. 23.-Although
he spent the greater part Of the cam

wounds received at the second battle
of the Marine, John Faust, "A member
OF Charles \. Learned Post No. J,
Of the American Legion here, was
elected TO a judgeship ON the record

the five judges selected.
Judge Faust served overseas with
the French at Verdun and later with
the 18th Infantry. He was in the
Marine Hospital receiving treating

at which he was nominated on the
~non-partisan ticket. When members
of the American Legion learned of
his candidacy, they carried on an act

when the probation idea known as the
american Legion system was first
introduced, under which more than
seven hundred former service men, on
trial in the court, were paroled to
members Of the American Legion.
Only four of the number returned

Idle curiosity is not the prompting

Editorial
of the Day
FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE


rIbIJ MusNtbSt i HotliAy
There is no doubt about the mean
ing of the late election in several
particulars. And one Of the most i'm
portant of them is its decisive nan
date for the adoption OF arbitration
and Cancellation as a means Of adj
justing labor disputes; its utter re-
lection of the demand, whether by
labor or capital, that they may be
left free to settle their differences by
brute force while the public pays the
bill.
Fortunately, the verdict is clear.
1t was rendered in three different ways
and with almost spectacular effect.
Nobody can confuse the issue or give
II a misleading Interpretation. The re-
election of Senator Cummins, the
triumph of the present state admin
istration in Kansas, and the over
whelming majorities for Coolidge In
Boston and Massachusetts, as well
as in the rest of the country are
all different but all decisive.
Senator Cummins tried to put into
the railroad bill an anti-strike clause.
For this he was blacklisted by the I'M
ions. They put a candidate in the field
against him in Iowa They appealed
to the general public and to union
labor in particular to defeat him. AND
he was triumphantly reelected .
The Kansas Industrial Court, which
requires a judicial determination OF
labor difficulties was an anathema to
union labor. Mr.. Gompers went per-
sonally into the fight to- beat its au-
thor. Every effort was concentrated
in Kansas 10 defeat the measure.
And he. TOO, scored a distinct tri-
umph.
The enormous Harding majorities
would have carried with them the cleo
ton of Coolidge in any event. But we
have TO note that Boston, normally
democratic, went out Of its way to
give unheard Of majorities to a tick
ct carrying the name of the mar
! who used the whole power OF the
state to suppress the police strike IN
that city.
The people are tired Of war, al
home as well as abroad. They want tc
see a just and peaceful mode pro-
vided for bringing capital and laoo'
together. Politicians and labor agi'
ta,ors will please take notice.

II the big men of the world are
assembled about the council table at
Geneva, holding executive sessions
and are not giving to the press the
things which they are doing, the read

these men are doing things which
are really worth while, then, beyond
