KEEP. POLITICS OUT OF THE SCHOOLS

WITH the Legislature barely under way, there already is a
WI squabble in the House of Representatives over appoint
ments to the important committee of education Already fac
tions are at work seeking to dictate appointments.
Are these efforts being made in behalf of the schools or are
they being put forth for political purposesf Why this sudden
interest in education2 The only possible answer is that some
body expects to gain something at the expense of the schools.
Our public schools are too important to become political
issues. Education is one of the bases of the State and Nation
and should not be tempered with except for its own good.
Speaker Leslie is to be commended for his stand taken in
the statement In which he said:
s*The schools of Indiana are not going to be made the foot
ball Of any faction or of any private aims. / believe / can
select a committee of men big enough.to be above selfish motives
of any organization or faction. .
We hope the speaker will be able to carry out his pur-
pose. From where we sit it seems this could best be done by
appointing to the committee members of the House who are not
struggling for such appointment. By so doing he probably
would offend some of the members of opposing factions, but I'M
~doubtedly he would be serving the schools and the State.

A few years ago embattled tax

pose, from sun-up to the nineteenth
hole. Golf was considered a feeble
amusement Of the idle rich.
But from being an object of deri-
sion the game has become the fav-
orite outdoor sport for n consider
able fraction of the population.
Places too small TO support bond
ed debts or official scandals have golf
courses. And in cities they have be-
come popular public necessities.
Perhaps 1t is an economic waste.
The land occupied by a golf course
might grow a city dump or a farm
mortgage. And thus become a work
ing piece of real estate instead of
just a place for recreation.
However, outdoor play isn't eco
nomic waste. It's health insurance.
So a city, for its future well-being.

the ranks of near oblivion.
Engineers say the turbolocomotive will be the next i'm

A %2000horse power turbolocomotive is now being built in
the Krupp works at Essen, Germany. Designs have been COM
pleted for 5~,000-horse power locomotives, and it is only a matter
Of time until these will be made.
Henry Zoelly, Swiss locomotive engineer, In this country to
attend a recent meeting of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, believes the final downfall of the old type locomotive
is very near.
Old-style locomotives are able to develop only 5 to 8 per
cent efficiency, ne points out, while stationary steam plants at
tain 20 per cent efficiency with ease. The turboIocomotive rep
resents an advance over the old piston locomotive similar to
that of the steam turbine in stationary plants.
Fifty per cent fuel economy, low water consumption and
smooth running are further advantages of the new invention.
These counterbalance the advantages of electrifcation, carrier
competitor of the piston type locomotive. In addition, the cleo

it alIis:
Two steam turbines on a single shaft are mounted cross

used for backing) drive through reduction gears a jack shaft
carrying the crank and crank pins. The drive to the wheels is
obtained through connecting rods in the usual way. The tender
carries a special device for cooling the condenser water so that

Resignation

r. oMER ELLIOTT. United
III States district attorney, sub
A mitted his designation five
months ago. Delay in selecting his
successor, however. keeps him in
the office against his wishes.
The third mar to whom the post
was rendered has just declined the
offer.
A private employer, when a resig-
nation is submitted, acts promptly.
He doesn't insist the job stick to its
reluctant holder like a mustard
plaster. From the men available for
the vacancy he selects one possess
ing the necessary qualifications.
Private enterprises have learned
that an employee dissatisfied with his
position is disturbing to business
morale.
Perhaps it is difficult to find a
new district attorney. The salary
is not impressive. Nevertheless there
are many well-qualif1ed men in Indi-
ana who would accept the place. 1t
wouldn't take five months to find one
If personal qualification was the sole
consideration.
The delay is not occasioned by in
ability to find a competent man. but
to find the right man-politically.
The office is a morsel of senatorial
patronage, and politics fatten on
patronage.
Patronage takes precedence over
public good and private wishes.
That's one reason there is frequent
iy more government in business than
business in government.

Empty
BY GAYLORD NELSON

TR EGINALD MosIER, a La
Grange youth, p~layfully point
IL ed an empty revolver at his
head and pulled the trigger. He
wanted to prove the weapon wasn't
loaded. Yesterday he, died in the
hospital without regaining con
sciousness.
This is the fourth death in the
State in little more than a month
caused by playing with unloaded
guns.
It is not an unusual record. Month
after month empty weapons exact
their bloody toll Of youth. Warn
ings against the menace prove un-
availing.
In many peaceful homes reyolvers
are kept on the theory that they at
ford protection.
Seldom has this theory been sub
Stimulated by events. Probably a
w~ell-trained typhoid germ camped
on the front steps would protect the
householder against evildoers as
much as a loaded revolver under the
pillow.
Firearms. particularly pistols,
have an irresistible fascination for
boys. Around them is the glamor
Of romance and adventure. They
fire a boys Imagination. With gun
in hand he becomes, for the mo-
ment, a bold bad-man.
The pistols purpose is to kill, not
protect. The householder hat har-
bors it for any purpose is inviting
tragedy. Because boys will play
with 1t. Even when empty it isn't
a safer plaything than a rattlesnake.

TRUTH FROM THE OTHER SIDE

fT1HE NEW YORK WORLD opposes the Child Labor Amend

that such legislation should be State rather than Federal. The
sents the campaign of falsehood being made by the paid work

"The Child Labor Amendment is not, Bolshevism. It does
not prohibit the labor of youths up to Is years of age. 1t does
not prohibit boys from doing chores on the farm or girls from
washing dishes. 1t does not threaten the family, the home, re-
lgion or the flag. The men and women back Of it are not in
