EVIL TIM ES

There is a crisis everywhere, and
all the world is in despair. read the
news from day to day, from countries
near and far away, and I'm discour-
aged as I mark our prospects. desc
late and dark. Oh, anarchy and doom
and wreck and countless evils are on
deck; some crisis every day appears
and humps its back and wags it's ears,
and statesmen cry, as they've long
cried, ''The tail must travel with the
hide" For six long years it's been
the same; the crisis played its low
down game, and filled US with the
dumps and blues, and kept US shaking
in our shoes. We had a crisis months
ago because no prices then were low.
and proflteers were on our trail de-
handing all our hard-earned kale
That crisis slumped, another rose, and
now low prices are our foes: because
the cost no longer scars, a thousand
mills have closed their doors, and
voorhees, workmen walk the streets
and clamor vainly for their eats, and
soak the sllken shirts they wore when
tother crisis had the floor. I'm tired
of all this crisis stuff; they've fed me
up-Pve had enough. Let's drill along
with sprightly tread and talk of happy
days ahead. and practice thrift and
do our stunts and heave some smiles
instead of grunts.

pending are sick and tired of the inefficiency and
delay that characterizes the procedure. From
no official source can they obtain satisfactory
explanation of the interminable delay. They are
hopelessy enmeshed in governmental red tape,
and often despair of ever receiving remunera-
ton for their suffering and agony.
We know of war veteran whose compensa-
ton claim has been pending for many weeks. He
was gassed overseas. He needs the compensa-
ton, as he cannot follow the vocation at which
he worked before he entered the army Now he
is only partly employed at other work He won
ders why the government is shamefully dilatory
and apparently heartless in Withholding relief
His case is only one of thousands and is not,
by any means, one of the tragic ones. In many
cities, say officers of the American legion, dis
abled war veterans, who have been neglected by
the government, actually are in need of enough!
food to sustain Them and are forced to beg for
shelter and medical relief.
It is high time that the government adopts a
course to remedy this situation The crippled
heroes of the World war had no choice of reject
ing or accepting service when they were called.
The government, through the seective service
system, took them out of civilian life and put
them into the military establishment, without
consulting their likes or dislikes. And to the
everlasting credit of our young men, it can be
said that the overwhelming majority did not
complain or object, but followed the call of duty
willingly and gladly They went into training
with the desire of learning the rudiments of the
military system quickly in order that they might
complete the job overseas in double quick time.
On French soil they fought with enthusiasm and
amazing disregard of their life. Thousands
never returned and among the millions that did
come back are thousands who are so badly Grip
pied that they will never regain the health and
vigor which they enjoyed before their military
service.
These men and the hundreds who were Grip
pied in the training camps at home have every
right to expect prompt and sufficient relief from
the government. Not one of them ought to be
forced to worry one minute about financial af-
fairs. Those who need hospital attention should
get it at once Those who need change of eli
mate should be transported to other sections of
the United States immediately Those who need
to be trained in new vocations should be placed
at once. In fact, federal machinery should be so
constituted that every reasonable and legitimate
need of a disabled soldier can be supplied with
out delay.
President Harding and congress should hasten
consideration of remedial legislation. The for
service men are weary of waiting and the
public is disguised with the present method.

To Help War Cripples

An investigation of the manner in which the
government is caring for disabled war veterans,
which is to be made by special committee ap-
pointed by President Harding, will give him the
facts which he intends to lay before congress.
= The president, after discussing the situation
with officials of the American legion and men,
bers of his own official family, has concluded
that action must be taken at once
The red tape which is required to get action
on compensation claim is long enough to dis
gust every veteran who has tried to obtain the
reward that justly is his Those who have claims

Farmers on State Boards

The agricultural interests will be heavily rep
resented on state commissions and boards during
the next four years, say political observers of
affairs at the state house.
The appointment of Maurice Douglas, secre-
tary of the Indiana Federation of Farm associa-
tions, as a member of the public service commits
sion, is generally accepted exemplification
of the governors desire to recognize the farmers.
No one will find fault with the appointment
Indiana farmers coming into pretty close
contact with utilities these days. The extension
of the telephone, electric light, and traction
utilities into rural districts presents problems
that come before the state commission for settle
ment. The city man often cannot grasp the view
point of the farmer on matters that pertain to
his welfare, and so it is wise that member of
the agricultural industry be on the board to help
pass questions that are of primary concern
to the agricultural interests of the state.
The Indiana farmer in recent years has been
forced to study business affairs, and the ma jor'
ty of them today look upon their enterprises as
purely business projects that should yield them
returns with the same regularity and volume
that characterizes an industrial or commercial
venture. Gone is the day when they were salts
fled to plant the seed and garner the yield with
out knowing whether they made or lost money.
Their active participation in the affairs of the
state government will be benefit to the admin
stration, for they will have outlook and a
viewpoint which the city man often misses.

a Rare Treat for
Music Lovers
TAEIRENE sToLoFsKY COMPANY.

Irene Stolofsky, violinist, has been
proclaimed by Hugh Dimond, one-time
concert master of the Chicago Sym
phony Orchestra, as one of the real
musical sensations of the present gen.
GRAFTON.
Miss Stolofsky plays with mastery
touch, with a strength and virility
much like a mans, but with an art
that puts into her rendition the deli
cacy only obtained by a woman. She
is capable of giving not only the great
sonatas and concertos, but also is
gifted in the presentation of the small
er and frequently the more popular
numbers. AS one newspaper critic
remarked: Classical music is played
deity by Miss Stolofsky, but it is
when, in encores, she gives the old
familiar numbers that she steals into
the inner recesses of ones soul"
On her concert tour during the com-
ing season Miss Stolofsky is to be ably
