BE A MAN!

It's a mighty good thing, while you're
running life's race,
Just to pause, as you 60, and come face to
face
With your conscience, and ask it ques-
ton or two.
For it's right you should know what your
life means to you.
Have you done things worth while, have
you drifted along,
Have you filled it with sighs, have you
filled it with song
Have you helped when you should, have
you tried to do right,
Have you struggled for good, or just
fought for might?
Have you given your hand to some fellow
in need,
Have you sneered at the man who was
not of your creed,
Have you been open-hearted and ready
to do,
Have you tried to be just, have you tried
to be true?
Oh, it's easy to preach and it's easy to tell
Of the other chaps faults--but our own
faults, ah, well
We are towards at times, and the truth,
you will find,
Is thing we dislike, for it's rather I'M
kind.
But the Past, let it rest. Give thought
to Today,
And Tomorrow, as well, for the Times
growing gray;
Do the things that you should, do the best
that you can,
Crown, your life with your deeds-be
red-blooded man!

They shine upon the country road.
(He always whistled as he ran).
Oh, such a little time ago!
But now he is a man.
"Gold stars" he called them as they lay
All wilted in his baby hand.
Stars were his eyes,-all eager wise
With things he could not understand
Then, boyhood-the outreaching soul
Still pools his eyes, the wind his glance.
A million iandelions blow.
My man-child lies in France.
They grow among the pasture grass,
>Sun-glided at Maytime sky.
Gold stars A thousand mothers weep
A thousand mothers proud as /.
Proud? Ay-and yet when night creeps
down,
And sleep my anguished eyes may know,
With wited flowers he comes to me
When dandelions blow.

OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTH
AMERICA
CONTINUED from page y

want that grew to be the most illustrious
men. Is it not true that perseverance in
any new undertaking is the most essen
tial requirement for a successful career.
Many of those today belonging to the
large army of failures would be classed
with the successful if they had only over
come their lack of perseverance and
stuck with proposition until the ultimate
success was realized.
The people of South America are not
of creative minds, or businesslike and
seldom choose the commercial field for
their lifes work. The inherited traits and
climatic conditions have made them an
indolent, lanquid type. and they are prone
to follow lines requiring the least resis-
lance, for these reasons they mostly be-
come cattle raisers or farmers. Practically
all the commercial life of South Ameri
ca is conducted by foreigners. There is
no doubt but what these Spanish speak
ing people will never become cogent COM
petitors in any lines of commercial activ-
ity. These facts being true it is not diff
fcult to perceive the wonderful opportun-
tiles in this specific field.
The continent possesses the richest mines
in the world but owing to the lack of
coal, mining has not been carried on very
extensively. The cattle industry of Ar
gentine is the largest in the world. The
vast rich timber lands of Brazil have no
equal.
1t may not be many years hence when
the United States and Europe will depend
on them for their meat and leather sup
ply, and with our timber land nearing
depletion will import our building and
cabinet woods The resultant effect on
the general wealth of the continent when
these facts become a reality will make
these nations the wealthiest in the world.
The American consuls located in each
South American country are always ready
and willing to give their reliable advice
and authentic information to American
subjects regarding possibilities, necessary
health precautions, ct cetera.
Opportunities are found by the alert
and audacious and not by the inert and
idle. Thousands of ambitious men are
seeking and finding them daily in the
Latin American countries.

A TWILIGHT THOUGHT

All day the April air was chill,
The bleak wind roared through wood
and field,
A minion of the Frost Kings will,
Stern, cold and hard to yield.
But now the sunset glids the west
And DER the hills its splendor filings,
And the wild wind sinks down to rest
In gentle whisperings
And as the deepening shades enfold
The form of hill and field and grove,
| think upon a heart once cold
Made warm by patient love.

Lindsey Tells of
Booze Decision

The following letter has been received
by the editor Of The Daily Times from
Ben B. Lindsey. Judge OF the juvenile
court in Denver. Colo:
My Dear SRI notice by some Of the
comments throughout the country that
ny decision in a recent case and my
attitude on the prohibition question have
been greatly misunderstood.
1T has been said IN some Of these ar
ticles that because rich offenders were
not punished I allowed these youthful
offenders to 20 unpublished Such is not
the case. They had already been in
Jail and had been subjected to the hui
initiation OF newspaper publicity. I sen
fenced them to sixty days in Jail, but
on recommendation Of the district attOr-
ney's Office and police department this
sentence was suspended and they were
placed on probation for two years.
'In giving this decision I commented
on an occurrence in this city during the
same week when q trucklOad Of booze
was found IN the garage OF a million
aire and against whom no charge had
been placed. and ! did make some com
ments on this situation, saying that
thought the millionaire with his cellar
Of booze should be punished as well as
the poor man with his single pint bot
tie
However, did not condone the offense
in the case before me and I did not let
the offenders go UNPUBLISHED because
many Of the rich are not punished as
has been Incorrectly stated. nor were the
narttes before me 'bootleggers.' as has
also been stated IN some OF the articles.
May I ask you to correct any false
impression given your readersl Thank
Ing you, ara, sincerely.

faction.
DEGREES MUDSLINGING

A city government that will reflect the
sentiments Of the homes Of Indianapolis
was pledged by Boyd NJ. RalstOn, Demo
cratic nominee for mayor in a speech at
New York and Agnes streets last night
I'VE want a city government as good
as the homes 1t represents" he declared.
II stand for the sentiment Of the homes
and that sentiment will be reflected from
the city government. You want me TO
represent you and that is what 1 am
going to do.
What the poor man wants is law en-
forcement and / am for law enforcement.
You want to know your boy and girl
will be protected wherever they are in
the city"
Mr.. Ralston addressed two out Of door
meetings, the other at Rural and Newton
streets. at which the audiences stood in
a cold drizzle to hear him speak.
MY motto is truth and sincerity and
I stand for that" he said. You are all
stockholders in the city corporation and
you have a right to demand these things"
MENTIONS REPUB-
LICAN SUPPORT.
He spoke of his Republican support,
expressing the opinion that he will re-
ceive more Republican votes than Samuel
Lewis Shank, his opponent. He declared
that there must be something wrong
with a Republican candidate from whom
thousands Of Republican voters are turn
ing" He repeated his assertion that he
is not q rent prohteer rs charged by his
opponents. but that he merely collects
rents charged by property owners. He
also repeated his assertion that each sec
ton OF the city should have improve
ments such as It is willing to pay for.
We are going to have q government
that satisfies the people," he said. You
aren't going to have a government that
has its hands tied by the corporations. 1t
viii stand for equal rights for all and
special privileges for none"
Both Mr.. RslstOn and tia other speak
ers decried mud singing tactics in the
campaign.
Mr.. Shank is giving fooIshness to
people he thinks might be soft, he said.
Why he has even told you he wants
your support because he wears the same
kind Of socks you wear.
NO REASON To VOTE
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
IF there is any reason a Democrat
should vote the Republican ticket this
time can't discover It" he declared.
Other speakers on the West New York
street program were James E. Deery,
former city Judge; L. Ert Slack, former
United States district attorney. and Louis
Schwartz, q labor union leader.
Never were prospects OF Democratic
victory brighter than they are today"
Mr.. Deery said. I'VE have the spectacle
of Republicans declaring for a Democratic
candidate. This simply shows that the
men on the Republican ticket are not
qualified TO be candidates in Indian
apOlis."
