In an excess of virtuous economy. the Republican Congress has rejected the provision for the free distribution of seeds among the people. thereby asavfng" S3G0 o00-about one one thonsandth of the total annual cost of the government. All the Republican bosses and machinery of both branches of Congress were mustered to the task of accomplishing this big economy for the taxpayers.
 Almost at the same moment funds were provided for the remodeling of President Harding's yacht, the May flower. at A cost of about $200.000 A few hours subsequently, Senator Smott introduced bill-which his Republi- con fellow bosses have promised t6 pass for him-to relieve banks of the cost of shipping silver dollars from the hints to their vaults. This bill cosf the government at least $15.000 a year.
 One one-thonsandth of the annual expense of the goyrenment is not much to appropriate. even for free seeds.

COWaRDICE AS \
 FOREIGN POLICY

New York World. Jan. Q, 1923.-In foreign relations MT. Harding is afraid of everything. He is afraid of commitments. as he calls them. He is afraid of entanglements. He is afraid of responsibilities. He is afraid of Ob- ligations He is afraid O. the Senate He is especially afraid of the Battal- ion of Death. He is afraid of his own record as Senator He is afraid to be consistent and he is afraid to be in- consistent He is afraid te act and he k afraid not to act. And i'll con sequence no human being in all the world knows what the foreign policy of the United States will be from day to day.
 If is possible to devise foreign policy that rests only on eowardice, for Mr. Harding has proved that it can he done But the net result of if all k that the political and economic condition of the civilized world is far worse than it was the day that Mir Harding took office In fact all Europe is on the verge of collapse If that k really what the American peo pie voted for in 1920, that k what they have to show for it.

CITIZENS OF ARKANSAS

Greater need of law enforcement is plainly shown by the disgraceful orgy at St Louis and many other places. That orgy at St Louis at it's most fashionable hotel sometimes since was the disgrace of not only St. Louis, but the whole United States.
 \ certain section of the elite, men land women to defy the law decided to get drunk en masse They were pur ported to be the leading citizens, There was the capitalist as distinguished from the members of the working class. More of them got drunk and lno doubt all got drunker than they would have done but for the Volstead Law. They were going to get joy out of their defiance too law. They want nd te show the authorities that their persona privileges could not be re- stricted hy law: even the Constitu ton Their slogan in effect was To hell with the Constitution.

 unconstitutional ideas regarding
 sovietism had formed themselves into
 a mob to disregard another provision
 of the Constitution respecting ones
 enjoyment of his own property.
 That would have been considered an
 outrage and fhe drunken jewellers. male and female. gathered in that ] hotel would have demanded the pro- i tection of the law and should have 1 inquired what had become of the safe
 guards of tho Constitution Would the public sympathy in all the circum- stances been with the lowly mob
 rather than with the drunken mob,

Mother BedfaSt With Flu as
Sister Tells Pathetic
Story,

Roxie Baxley, II, loved all her
worldly pleasures, then they were ia
ken from her. She did not realize it
was intended for her own good.
Roxie took poison Sunday night.
She died three hours later at the city
hospital
Today, while her mother lay bed
fast with influenza at the home, 1927
y. Dearborn St, Roxie's elder sister,
Lena, told the dead girls pathetic
little story.
Roxie liked TO have a good time.
When her family moved here from
COrydOn, Ind, about two years ago,
she did not care to 70 to school.
She met a girl who tempted her,
Lena sObbed. That caused her to
be arrested in a downtown store for
shoplifting. She was placed in the
detention home. At the trial she was
let go on probation and ordered to
break friendship with the other girl
and stay home at night"
Later the other girl returned from
Chicago, where she had married and
had left her husband and came to
our home. She was ordered out, but
later Roxie met her and went to a
dance hall. Roxie was again taken to
the detention home.
''She promised to stay home and
not leave the house unless mother
and father went with her"
But Roxie did not want to be
watched.
Sunday, a bottle Of poison was left
on a table momentarily by another
member Of the family who used it
as medicine.
Roxie saw the bottle. She was
found a few minutes later.
A baby played on the floor as Lena
told the story. Others Of Roxie's four
sisters and five brothers sat around
the room.

Prices Higher Here
Than Other Places

In many cases" Goldberg said,
I'VE have taken highway commission
goods we have had great difficulty in
selling. In some instances we have
found the goods to be damaged and
in others we have found the count
not to be as represented. We never
have made any claim for shortage, al
though the commission has offered US
discounts for this reason. Whenever
we have found shipments to be more
than invoices showed we always havs
called attention to this fact"
He displayed letters to show thas
some of the goods purchased no longer
was being manufactured and that
there was no longer a demand for it.
Prices in Indiana are higher in
many cases than in other States, Cold
berg said. He pointed out that his
firm buys goods from highway de-
partments in other States and that it
can afford to pay freight to Indian
apolis rather than buy it in Indian
apOlis.

ONE HEAVY LOSS
IN a FIRE CALLS
Department Answers Two
Downtown Alarms,

Forty-one fires, only one resulting
in heavy loss, occurred in Indian
apohs during the thirty-six hours
ending at a. m. today.
Sparks started a fire on the roof of
the home of f. r. Shannon, 2337 n.
Talbot Ave, resulting in loss esti-
mated at $4,000, Sunday, The fire
spread to the roof of the home of J.
o. Riley. 2335 n. Talbot Ave, dam
aging it $75.
Twice Sunday firemen answered
downtown alarms. A small fire in an
office on the third floor of the Ameri-
can Central Life building was put out
with slight damage. Steam escaping
from the boiler room at the William
II. Block store caused a fire alarm,
but there was no fire.
