REVISION OF
STATE SALARIES

A lotion of the budget COM
IA mittee, instituted by the
- last Indiana General AS
sembly, in revising the salaries Of
State officials and employees will
effect saving of 100000 annual
ly, according to its recent report.
Some salaries were raised, more
were cut.
Those whose pay checks felt the
committees knife will doubtlessly
grieve. They will regard the COM
mittee members as busybodies.
But on the whole the committee
did we'll; there was need OF equali-
zation in the compensation paid
for similar services.
Stenographers in some depart
ments received 500 per month, in
others $3.50. superintendent of
State Farm, State Prison. and
State reformatory, doing prac-
tically the same work received
different salaries. The head Of
the School for the Feeble Minded
was paid $4,000 more than heads
of other State institutions of equal
Importance. Similar discrepancies
existed all through the State
salary list.
There is really no valid reson
why members of the public service
commission should receive $4,000
per year while State tax commits
sioners, occupying positions equal
ly responsible and exacting, should
receive only $4,000.
Such inequalities have occurred
because the departments and
functions of State government
have, like Topsy. just 'growed"
wtthC ut reference to each other or
the State administration as a
whole.
The budget committee represents
the first effort TO get a birds eye
view of the whole thing and re-
duce the State salary list, at least
to a systematic, businesslike
scheme. The result may be dis
tressing to individual patriots on
the pay roll. but not to the tax
payer. Let's have more business
in government.

Can They Make Good?

m Ohm L. DUVALL, Republican candidate
j for Mayor, has repudiated William H.
Armitage, boss of the Shank administration,
who has been one Of the group active in behalf
Of Duvall. Armitage has been disturbing in
fuence in Indianapolis politics for years. He
has never been given public Office by the people
for obvious reasons, but nevertheless he has
governed the city. Duvall is to be commended
for doing what Ralph Lemcke, his opponent in
the late primary, did not wish to do or lacked
the nerve to do
Both Duvall and Walter Myers the Demo
cratic nominee, have told the voters that if
elected they will be free to do the bidding of
the voters and that there will be no strings tied
to them. Can either make goods If the success
full candidate does succeed in carrying out his
promise to govern with free hand, he will do
more than any previous mayor has ever been
able to accomplish.
There always have been outside influences
at work at the city hall. 1t has always been
necessary for the mayor at times to harken to
his masters voice. This is not necessarily re-
Election or the man who happens to be mayor
1t is a reflection on the political system under
which he was elected Duvall may keep his
promise that Bill Armitage will not influence
his administration, but certainly in getting
himself elected mayor he will necessarily have
to put himself under obligation to a great
many people and great many interests. If he
succeeds in not being Influenced by these obi
cations, he will be the first mayor who has done
so. The same, of course holds true for Myers

UNIVERSAL
DRAFT PLAN

r7OHN r. M'QUIGG, newly
elected national commander
of the American Legion, in
his first visit to Indianapolis the
other day, said that adoption by
the national government of a uni
versal draft plan for future wars
drafting both men and money
will be one of the principal Legion
detectives during his administra-
ton.
The persistence of the Legion
in harping on the wealth draft
scheme must send shivers of ap-
prehension down the spines of
some moneyed men whom age and
hardened arteries render immune
from personal military service.
Such gentlemen say we should re-
ly on patriotism not compulsion
to finance a war.
Drafting capital may be chimeri-
cal and practical-nothing is
more adept at hiding than money
but the plan isn't as unholy as
it's opponents believe.
The patriotism Of American
manhood is unquestioned. Yet in
our great wars it has been neces-
sary to resort to conscription to
mobilize the full strength of our
manpower. The patriotism of the
American dollar is not so self
evident.
At the outbreak of the last war
before adoption of the draft
thousands of men offered their
services and lives to the Govern
ment. Did any capitalist offer his
dollars to be used as needed with
out interest in the country's de-
tense? How many Liberty bonds
would have been sold if they
hadn't been Understanding?
Men and money fight modern
wars. Both are necessary. If
drafting of men is proper why is
drafting capital so abhorrent to
moneyed people? In a national
emergency dollars are no more
sacred than lives.

Likewise the
Americans HOme~

"X1N Englishman's home is his CASTLE"
la That statement about the English
man is the thing above all others that stands
out in memory from the time we first heard
there was such being as an Englishman.
It still inspires thrill of admiration.
1t gives character to the Englishman. We
think of him as a man who loves his home and
will fight for it.
We can almost see him standing there
just inside the door, one foot aggressively ad-
vanced, fists clenched and grim fighting jaw
stiffly set-his entire attitude warning that
any violator of his home could pass that
threshold only over the Englishman' dead
body. And that determination of the home
loving, iberty-loving Englishman became
fixed in the laws of his country.
1t came to us when we threw off old world
domination and set up in the government bust
ness for ourselves as the United States Of
America 1t was made part of our Constitu-
ton.
Here is the language:
The right of the people to be secure
in their persons, houses, papers and eff
fects against unreasonable searches and seiz-
ures, shall not be violated and no warrants
shall issue but upon probable cause, sup
ported by oath or affirmation, and particu-
larly describing the place to be searched,
and the persons or things to be seized"
The Supreme Court of the United States
has just put the brakes on the insidious ten
dency to ignore that ancient right, and has re-
vived the spirit of liberty that seemed to be
fading out. The court says:
ut has always been assumed that ones
house cannot be searched without a search
warrant, except as an incident to a lawful ar
rest therein. The protection of the Fourth
Amendment extends to all equally, to those
justly suspected or accused as we'll as to the
innocent The search Of a private dwelling
without warrant is of itself unreasonable
and abhorrent to our laws"
This pronouncement from the Supreme
Court comes at a good time 1t had seemed
that wave of intolerant fanaticism had
swept us off our feet and was carrying away
on it's flood the liberties gained by the sacr-
flee Of blood and treasure.
Now, perhaps, we can set our feet firmly
on the ground and take stand for liberty as
did our progenitors and say to all tyrants
everywhere:
An Americans home is his castle.

PICKING
A JURY

-OR over week the Steph-
r enson trial has been in
IL progress at Noblesville.
And a jury hasn't yet been picked.
Two special venires have been
drawn and practically discarded
and a third is in prospect. Appar-
emily jury is no nearer now than
it was the first day of the trial.
The interminable delay in find
ing twelve good men and true to
try this case, as in all criminal
cases that attract wide attention
and are much discussed, reveals
the weakness Of our jury system.
It is so encrusted with technical
tiles it can't move.
Anyone who has read, heard, or
has an opinion about a case, or
who knows any of the lawyers
engaged in the trial, may be ex-
cluded from the jury for cause.
In addition prosecution and de-
Tense are permitted a number of
peremptory challenges by which
they can dismiss jurors whose
looks they don't like.
The result is ordinary human in
telligence seldom gets into the
jury box until the lawyers are ex-
hausted. AS one of the prospective
jurors at Noblesville aptly ex-
pressed it, a man is an ignoramus
who hasn't read about this case
and formed some opinion about it.
In England a criminal case no
matter how important would be
tried and concluded while lawyers
in our courts are still wrangling
over a jury. And there are no
more miscarriages Of justice in
English courts than in American.
We have run the doctrine Of i'm
partial, unprejudiced juries so far
into the ground that 1t practically
anchors criminal court procedure
and prevents the wheels of justice
from revolving at all.

he raises some dust because he is

These Henry Brown gentlemen
seem to be popular in the world Of
music today. The expressions such
as "red hot mamma" and red hot

lyrics of the best sellers.
This sheik stuff is the rage just
now at the music stores. Miss Young
sings the kind Of songs that the peo-
pie like to hear, and she has a win

On the other side of this Bruins
wick Miss Young sings Yes, Sir,
That's My Baby" another song num-
Der that is being heard about every
place that music is played.
1t will be remembered that Van
& Schenck used this number when
they were recently at the Circle.
The recorded version OF Miss Young
is as warm a syncopated number as
Van e. Schenck developed it on the
stage.
Another Winner
The demand for the songs that we
all know has resulted in Columbia
Photograph Co., releasing a record
by Florence Macbeth, noted soprano.
The record includes Loves Old
Sweet Song" and 81 Hear q
Thrush at Eve"
You will remember the refrain,
"once In the dear dead days beyond
recall and "just a song at twilight"
well. the resting place of those
sentiments are IN Loves Old Sweet
Song"
Both Of these numbers are on the
new process Columbia records. This
process gives one the impression
that the artist is in the room in
stead of the tone coming from a
photograph.
There are a lot of improvements
being made lately in both records
and the photograph itself.
The greatest of the artists and
the best orchestras are now record
ing for the leading photograph COM

music, old-time favorites and about

again?"-JOb 14:14.
TIN ONE form or another, the
idea of a future life has per-
1 sisted through all the ages
and among all the races of mankind.
Surely this is a significant fact.
Surely belief so widespread and so
independent Of time and circum-
stances, can not be false or mislead-
ing. 1t must surely be the voice Of
God whispering to man and telling
him his soul can never die.
The significance of this universal
and ageless intuition is confirmed by
the innate consciousness we each
have in ourselves OF a capacity for
something this world does not sup
ply. Everywhere in nature capacity
implies an end equal to its measure.
This fact proves that God does moth
ing needless. He has provided a cor
relate wherever there is a need, an
instinct, or a capacity. This is a
universal law. Surely man is no
exception to a rule otherwise uni
versal. Therefore, since he has a
capacity that stretches beyond this
present life, this present life can not
be his end.
