Sc Of national guardsmen
III to protect Indiana banks
III against bandits is intimat-
ed. This week the Governor, adj
jutant general and officers of the
Bankers Association have been
closeted in lengthy conferences,
presumably discussing protective
measures for harassed banks.
The States recent record of al
most bank robbery a day GER
tainly reveals the seriousness of
the emergency.
For the moment the predatory
gents who stroll into banks with
the hoarse command to stick 'em
up" seem to be taking all the
tricks. But they can't win the
game. A few score outlaws can't
terrorize the State of Indiana in
definitely.
Organized society always finds a
way to cope with marauders of
any kind when they become too
numerous and obnoxious. Even

more numerous, bold and blood
thirsty than the bank bandits Of
Indiana, eventually came to the
end of their ropes-in which was
usually slip-knot.
If the ordinary law enforcement
machinery of the State, police and
peace officers. can't control the
situation it is proper that National
Guardsmen should be called out.
That's what they are for-to pre-
serve law and order in an emer-
gency.
If necessary a squad Of militia
men or armed private guards. en-
ployed by bankers, can be quar-
tered in every bank.

guard with a collection Of sawed

no more. Indiana banks might
employ the same system.

Stop the Bandits!

LIVERY resource Of the State Of In
Ii diana and of the cities and coun-
ties of the State should be used to put
an end to the present appalling wave OF
banditry.
The seriousness of the situation
can not be exaggerated.
Bandits almost daily, with little or
no interference, have been holding up
and robbing banks. The robberies
have occurred in every corner OF the
State. Two of them occurred within
eight days in Indianapolis.
# Not bandit who has committed a
robbery Of any size has been captured.
Undoubtedly this fact has en-
couraged others to commit robberies.
There is only one way to stop
banditry: Get the bandits-dead or
alive.
The first obligation of the law is to
protect life and property. This is the
first duty of the State to it's people.
This duty must be performed at
any cost.
We heartily approve of Mayor
Shank's plan to put a policeman with
sawed-off shotgun in each bank in In
dianapolis.
We approve of the proposal that
the National Guard be used to protect
lives and property.
n The bandits have declared war on
the people of Indiana. .'
y We must light back as matter Of
self-protection.
n There is more involved than the
loss Of few thousand dollars to the
bankers of the State.
Fl We are faced with violent viola
ton of the peace Of the State.
No one knows when a bank rob-
berry will result in the death of one or
more persons, 1t is a miracle that this
has not happened already.
These bank bandits are armed.
They are prepared to shoot and to shoot
to kill.
There is only one way for the
State to fight such individuals and that
is also to be prepared to shoot and to
shoot to kill.
The people of Indiana have a right
to demand protection and the State is
duty bound to provide this protection
at any cost.

there were labor troubles. This led to
importation Of labor from Canada.
Italy Portugal, Poland and various
geographical divisions of Europe. I'M
til now New England mill labor is
.preponderantly foreign"
In the southern cotton mills the la
Dor is wholly native. 1t is largely
made up of Scotch-Irish stock from
the Appalachian mountain district.
The labor system of the south is
wholly different from that of the
north. In the north most of the mill
lcities are relatively old, the mill work
ers living in tenement structures. In
the south the mills, as a rule, were
built in the country and the mill own
ers had to provide not only dwellings,
but churches, schools, hospitals, IL
braries, water service, plumbing, etc,
for their employees.
The mill men have been very wise.
They put up attractive, detached cot
tages most of them of the bungalow
type, with ample space around for
flower fruit and vegetable gardens.

price, all houses are furnished with
electric lights and some with electric
power. These cottages are rented on
basis of from 50 cents to Is cents
per room per month.
The southern mill worker does not
get so much in his pay envelope as
the northern mill worker, but in the
ultimate analysis he has more for his
labor, for his rent does not go up, his
! living conditions are infinitely better
and he has an attractive home.
Some mill owners even go to the
length of providing motion picture
shows. 1t is paternalism carried be
yond that in any other industry, but
it fits the needs OF today admirably.
Owing to milder climate the south
ern mill worker has more days of rev.
enue producing labor than the north
erner, and judging by the reports OF
the savings banks, which are adjuncts
Of some OF the large mills, he is also
thrifty.

To add complexity to the situation
north and south the cotton industry
is facing a condition extraordinary in
its history.
Cotton is termed the cloth that
clothes the world. Ordinarily women
are the principal users of cotton made
garments Cotton is the cloth of Chi
ma. Somebody said if the Chinese add
ed an inch to their shirts it would
mean a need of 100000 more bales OF
cotton year.
The Chinese have not done so. Wo-
men in many countries, and especially
in America, have, however, turned
away from cotton. They wear fewer
garments now than ever before and
they have taken to real silk, and SYN
thetic silk, to a degree never equaled.
There is reason for everything and
there is a good reason-several good
reasons-for this. You could, at a pc
Rod not many years distant, engage
laundress-w asherwoman she was
called-to come to your home and do
the family wash" for one or two dol
lars a day and her meals. Not now.
The washerwoman of old seems to
have gone with the world war. Like
wise the old family washtub. Now
your wash goes to the laundry.
The laundry people know of chem
icals that clean clothes beautifully but,
incidentally, eat into the fabric. A
dozen trips to the laundry now will
ruin any cotton fabric, as rule.
Silk in Favor.
Silk, real or synthetic, may easily
be washed in basin, is dried quickly
and easily ironed as only light press
ing is necessary. Cotton or linen re-
quires more skill and more strength
| in the handling.
Then there is that intangible thing
we term style Silk bespeaks luxury
1t is the style to wear few garments
and those few should be silk
The result of this fashion is pro-
nounced decrease in purchases OF cot
ton goods.
But while America and England
know cotton depression there has
been a remarkable increase in the buy
| ing of raw cotton by continental Eu-
rope and there has been liberal buying
by Asia and some other geographical
divisions Of the earth.

This Is a Story of Real Life With
No Moral.

Once upon a time there was a young
man named George, and he was the
son of a farmer. Now one morning
George was sent out with bucket to
milk the cows. But he was tired OF
the dull life on the farm and went off
to the city, where, after much hard
work he, succeeded in amassing a for
tune. Then he resolved to return to
his home.
When he arrived he embraced his
parents and loaded them with costly
presents of all kinds.
To his father he gave motor car
OF very expensive make, and to his
mother casket of wonderful jewelry.
He had conjured up visions of hearty
paternal grips and maternal embraces,
but far from it.

HUNTERS OF 100000
DOLLARS HAVE FAILED
TRY IN VAIN TO GET TREAS
URE IN HULK OF LINER ME-
RIDA. RETURN TO PORT.

King Neptune still holds in his grasp
the $4,000,0O0 treasure believed to be
in the hulk of the liner Merida, which
lies at the bottom of the Atlantic
ocean off Norfolk, Va. Man, despite
preparations that cost thousands of
dollars, and despite the latest scientific
tools, has failed to wrest the fortune
from the sea. Storms defeated the
attempt.
Worthington Davis, the wealthy
man who tried to recover the gold, and
his companions have returned to port
after a month of futile work The
buoys which marked the hulk of the
Merida are gone as are the cables that
held it in place-swept away by a
storm All the work must be done
over, if the expedition expects to re-
turn.
The Davis party located the wreck
through the use of divers and was all
ready to break into the treasure room
of the Merida when the month of
storms began. Diving was impos-
sible, cables snapped like straws, and
buoys disappeared in the raging waves.
| 1t was then that the expedition return
ed to port.
If the Davis party tries again to sal
wage the fortune in the ship, it will
have a difficult task to perform. The
wreck lies in fifteen feet Of sand, which
must be dug away. Then, too, the
hulk of the Merida is mass of wreck
age which must be blasted away be-
fore the treasure room can be entered.
