Rugs

JAMES f. BALLARD, OF St.
LOUIS. has lent to the John
e Heron Art Institute a col
lection of Oriental rugs. They viii
be on exhibition at the institute for
three months
The acquisition of Oriental rugs
has been a life hobby with Mr..
Ballard III it's pursuit he has spent
fortune.
There is a fascination about or1en-
tai rugs that few normal men can re-
sist-until they notice the price tags.
Then they can resist. all right.
But many men have a hobby for
collecting something. And there 8
nothing from which a man can OBJ
tain more pleasure than from such a
hobby well ridden. It may be a
hobby for costly objects like rugs,
first editions. etchings or pottery. Or
it may be postage stamps, souvenir
postcards. or cigar bands. They all
afford a pleasant avocation in add
ton to mans grim vocation Of max
ing a living.
Even the State rides a collecting
hobby Its mania is collecting taxes
But its collection will afford Tndi
annapolis less pleasure than iIr. Bal

Dollars

m ROF. IRVING FISHER. the
r. eminent economist. states
- that the dollar this week is
worth or as compared with the 1918
dollar Whereas last week it was
worth 67.9c.
The dollar. according to his report.
is slowly regaining its strength and
complexion since it's awful sinking
spell in May. 1920, when it was
worth only 40.5c. compared with the
1913 dollar
All Of which is interesting, if true.
Indianapolis housewives have real
lied for several years that the dollar
has lost its former strength and Gun.
ming. But it's shock TO know just
how poorly it has been. However
those who take our money have
long realized that it no longer
possesses its old tine authoritative
voice. but speaks with a lisp.
For they treat our dollar with the
condescension the puny coin de-
serves. They properly snub it.
Why Professor Fisher selects the
1918 dollar as the standard for COM
parison is uncertain. Perhaps be.
cause that was the last year most
of us had more than a passing ac-
quaintanCe with dollar.
Still a 67.7-cent dollar is nothing to
cheer about.
1t may be on the road to normally,
but it isn't travelling.

Campaign

-T is a bitter political cam.
paign-both national and
state.
The spellbinders are rocking the
foundations Of the universe with YER
bal dynamite. Candidates and their
camp followers speed across the
country, tearing the air and the
eagle to shreds.
Yes. it's a bitter campaign. Voters
are aroused to fever pitch, as an
incident observed this week reveals.
Eight business men were lunching
at the Claypool, 1t was the meet
ing of an Indianapolis civic club.
Lets see. who are the candi-
dates for Lieutenant Governor"
asked one Of the eight.
A pregnant silence. For none Of
the other seven could name the
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
on either major ticket. But ask in
any group of eight men in town the
standing of the Indians in the
American Association pennant race.
The reply will be immediate and &C
curate to the third decimal.
Yes. the average man is deeply
stirred by the political campaign.
No wonder the vote has to be
dragged out.

m HEODORE J. BERND, chair
man of public works commit
- tee of city council. inspected
the market house, and said: "A few
buckets of water and a little paint
would do more good than anything
else"
And he rightly values the soVer'
eign virtues of paint.
A few dabs, applied with discrt'
ton and a steady hand will obliter-
ate the ravages OF time on a build
ing or a feminine countenance. For
the time being. Our homes, sweet
hearts, automobiles, wives. bill
boards, and daughters, are all pre-.
served and beautified with paint. II
would be a drab world otherwise.
Even politicians are coated with
whitewash. and they aren't worth
preserving or beautifying.
Possibly $4,000 is too much to
spend on repairing or remodeling
the old market house. The venerable
shell may be too far gone for ma
jor operation. And that sum GER
tainIy isn't sufficient to build a new
market house commensurate with
the present and future needs of the
city.
Painting offers a solution. The
structure may be a whited sepul-
cher. but with a thick layer Of paint
on its ancient bones it would resem-
bic. for a season a blushing bride.
But as for scrubbing the interior
with water. one shudders to contem-
palte the consequences.
What would become Of the rats?

DISCUSSION
Controversy Before League
of Which America Is
Not Member
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Times Foreign Editor.

Tu7 ASHINGTON, Oct Japan
| WI has served official notice on
Ill the world that when she
thinks her hour has struck she will
go to war with the United States
over immigration, providing satisfac,
ton has not been accorded her
meanwhile.
This is the only possible interpre-
tation of Japan's renewed fight at
Geneva either to amend, or kill OUT
right, the League of Nations pro-
posed plan to abolish or limit all
wars.
And in this grave crisis America
IS voiceless. Every great power in
the world is present at Geneva, try
ing to prevent future wars. prin-
cipally, SO far as the present is CON
cerned, a great war in which this
country stands to be one Of the
principals. Yet we have no voice
in the negotiations. We, alone Of
all the great powers. are not 4
member of the league.
Japan's Stand
What Japan is fighting against is
this:
In the proposed protocol govern
ing arbitration and security. it IS
stipulated that if, in a dispute be
tween nations, one party claims the
subject matter is purely domestic.
and is upheld in this contention by
the World Court, to which the ques-
ton would be submitted, the ar
biters would so report and let the
thing drop.
Whereupon. should the complain
ing nation go TO war with the other
over this issue it would automatic
ally be deemed the aggressor, and
sanctions would be taken against it
by tho league accordingly.
Japan alone opposes the protocol
Her dispute with America over i'm
migration is obviously behind her OPP
position. though OF course similar
treatment in Australia. South Africa
and elsewhere has some bearing on
her attitude
But her chief quarrel is with the
United States Prominent Japanese
have openly stated Japan would Ill
timately go to war over the immi-
grafton insult" as she calls it, if
the affront were not otherwise wiped
out.
