The year opens with the city in the
midst of an unprecedented building
boom. taken generally as an lldica-
ton of optimism as to what the future
holds. Building operations in Indian
apClis in 1922 reached nearly to the
100000 600 mark. Already many prof
ects have been formed for the new
year
Sterilization Nearer
Prices during the past year nave
teen reduced to some extent. There
has been every one agrees. a distinct
drift toward sterilization. The long eX-
pected normal condition of affairs 10
cally is much nearer realization than
i; was twelve months ago.
The past twelve months have been
months Of progress and of reverses
but there has been more progress than
retrogression. Labor troubles during
a part of the year hampered local
business to some extent. These have
now been cleared away and produc-
ton has approached nearer to normal.
Local business men are inclined to
take a more optimistic view Of in
ternational affairs as they affect bust
ness. As the year closes interna-
tional exchange has slightly improved.
This is taken locally as i good sign.
Year of Reverses
Politically the year has been one Of
changes and reverses. The old year
opened with a new administration in
indianapolis This administration
has been much in the limelight Opin-
ion differs as to whether thus far it
has succeed or failed There is no
doubt it has been active.
The recent election was one Of sur
prises. resulting in the upset Of the
old order
With the dawning Of the new year
attention in Indiana is centercd on
the opening Of the Legislature. Mem
bers of the Assembly have announced
they are coming to Indianapolis this
time TO cut expenses. This would
mean a cutting OF taxes and Of this
commercial interests would heartily
approve.
The old year is leaving behind it
but few regrets. The new year is
bringing with it a new dawn Of con
fdence and optimism.

There is a story which Mary Ellen
Lease was fond of relating in the old
Populist days. 1t was of an evan
gelist who was preaching a sermon on
hell, of the old-fashioned orthodox fire
and birthstone type. He enlarged upon
the horrors to which the lost souls
would be subjected; he prodded his
audience numerically with his pitch
fork and immersed them in a boiling,
seething lake.

Whether he was right or wrong in
his course, the President certainly was
courageous, for the pressure brought
to bear on him in favor of the bonus
bill was tremendous, and the fall cleo
tons are not far away. But congress
had refused to devise and enact a
measure which he could approve as
sincere and based on correct financial
principles, so that the law makers

long as they leave the straits free and
unfortifed. The dominfons, though pa
triotic always, are rather cool toward
fresh military operations; as has been
said, little or no help can be expect
ed from other allied nations, and
Japan, according to foreign office Off
cial in Tokyo. will stand absolutely
aloof.
The British government believes its
forces could successfully defend Con
stantinople and the straits without
help, and perhaps they could. But it
may be the Turkish offensive will not
be confined to that region. There are
reports which are more than rumors
that the Nationalists are moving on
Irak, part Of the British mandate in
Mesopotamia, which is ruled nomi-
nally by Emir Feisaf. Uprisings in
that region are said to be becoming
general, and the word came from an
Anatolian news agency that the Brit
ish garrisons had been worsted in sew
eral encounters with tribesmen and
that Mosul was about to be evacu-
ated. It is not unlikely that these
reports are exaggerated, but the dan
ger there is real, and is but a part of
the threat of a, holy war against
Christendom The trend toward this
is especially. strong in India, where i'm
mense throngs of Moslems gathered to
rejoice over the victory of Renal
Pasha. In Calcutta speakers Bitterly
denounced the British policy in the
Near East and asserted that seven mil
lion MosIems in India are being
angered to the point of rising en- masse
to fight against the British for their
legitimate aspirations. The central
Khalifat committee of India sent
cablegram to London saying:
"By their support of the Greek mill
tary adventure the British government
has broken faith with India and the
Moslem world. If England goes to war
with Turkey now she will never be
able to regain her prestige in India"
