Those who spend so much time decrying the efforts of others to promote the welfare and development of the dis trict should remember that they themselves profit by whatever is gained by such eff forts.

Everyone profits in some degree by such public benefits as may be gained. Fair minded people will recog. nize and appreciate this fact and endeavor to promote a live and let live policy that will rebound to the mutual welfare of all concerned.

 We looked at it in dismay; we could see our trade leaving us and our business on the rocks. We finally said to our chum, Let's go down and talk with the grocer who sells us our lemons; maybe he will take back the two we have on hand and then we can close up our shop"
 Our grocer said, "You boys go right back to your store and instead of cutting your price, keep up your quality and you'll find that people would rather have two glasses of good lemonade for five cents, than three glasses of slop at the same price"

Despite considerable dimin- uation in the volume of local development during the past few days, those who possess
 sufficient discernment to ap. preciate the true facts of the situation are agreed that the
 local mining outlook is better than at any time in the past. Such lessening of activity as has occurred may be attribut- ed largely to the natural re- action from the "boom" tend encies developing in certain southern centers last year, dur. ing which it was easy to fin ance almost any kind of a real or alleged mining prop erty.

School Building Victory

TINE Of the difficulties in the way OF the
|OI school building program for lndlalnapolls
has been removed with the opinion OF Judge
Clinton FL. Givan that the citizen OF Woodruff
Place who sought to block the program was
not entitled to an injunction.
With the temporary restraining order dls-
solved. the board members let contracts with
architects for six new grade school buildings.
The board also is taking up the sale Of the pres
emit High School and plans for advertising g
bond issue for the new Shortridge.
Thus the school building program, which
has so many times been blocked, is again on It's
way. People of Indianapolis who have the
welfare Of the children Of the city at heart hope
it can now go forward without further inter
ference.
It is to be hoped that the new school board
majority, which takes Office the first Of the
year, will go ahead with the program without
undue delay. There may be differences be-
tween the new board and the old board, but
there should be no differences on the question
Of the necessity for adequate school facilities
in Indianapolis at the earliest possible moment

in an opinion, has branded the

The plan is simple. For instance
one company offers to sell $40

the purchaser has to do is to send
81 to the company for which he re-
ceives three 81 coupons which he
sells to three others, who in turn
receive three 81 coupons each
which they sell to three friends.
Then the first purchaser receives
the promised merchandise.
Very simple and easy. Who
hasn't got three friends 20 whom
they can sell the three coupons?
1t sounds so plausible.
But the company promoting the
scheme isn't giving anything
away. For each $40 in merchandise
it distributes in accordance with
the agreement 1t receives s14 in
cash. Not so bad. II none of its

RISING COST

r Of the State tax commits
VI sion, reports that from
1914 to 1924-ten years the cost
of education. including all
branches of schools, in Indiana
increased approximately three
fold. In the period school ex-
penses rose from S15,OOO,OOO to
SOL, 100000.
A larger fraction of each dollar
raised by taxation in Indiana is
spent on schols than for any other
public purpose. In the same period
that educational expenses in

only doubled.
Frequently impassioned eduoa-

in this country so little is spent
in education in comparison with
the immense sums squandered on
luxuries.
They point out that the Nation
spends more on chewing gum, to-
bacco, movies lipsticks, respective

in providing school facilities FOR

A
WOMAN'S
VIEWPOINT
Is Life Worth Living7
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson


ri HE first article in a death
pact which eliminated in the
suicide of two eastern high
scnool boys, reads: I'VE, the under
signed, do not consider the living
of this life of a human being worth
all the effort which we must put
forth to sustain IT."
Think of the pity of this! Two
boys with fine intelligence, fortu-
nately situated in life, with good
parents. comfortable homes, kind
friends, all sorts of advantages. taxi
ing their lives because they con-
sidered them not worth the living.
Such things can be nothing but
the indirect result of that wave Of
ultra-sophistication which is sweep
ing the country. Ever since the war
we have had a certain class of writ
ers and thinkers who have per-
sistently preached the doctrine of
pessimism and self-indulgence.
Here we are, citizens of a country
which is the wealthiest on the globe,
blessed with bounties too plentiful
to enumerate, and yet our literary
market is flooded with books and
pamphlets and magazines which
breathe a spirit of morbidness that
would be more consistent among an
oppressed and starving people. We
are polluting the minds of our
youngsters with stuff that is a detri-
ment to mature readers. We are
harping about the emptiness of ex.
iseence and grooming because we
say life is a futile thing.
And so we have suicide pacts and
youthful murders, and our sons and
daughters are growing up without
faith or hope.
This Is the one dire result which
has come from the slaughter of our
illusions. We have talked ourselves
into a belief that there are no re-
wards which accrue to virtue, and
that the path of duty has no roses
growing by the wayside; we go to
extreme lengths to prove that men
and women are unfaithful and self
ish and bad, and that sligion Is an
evidence cf low intellige1 ce, and that
the future is only emptiness. There
Is. indeed. no health in us.
II we would save ourselves and
our children. we must begin to teach
less pernicious doctrines; we must
grid up our own souls with the an
Client attributes of Faith and Hone
and Charity. We must. II necessary.
take a step backward toward Bah
bitry. and attempt ourselves to see
life as a beautiful adventure in.
stead OF regarding II as a little space
OF emptiness through which we
must walk.
We must resurrect some sort of
religion to uphold us. Man has
never been able to live by bread
alone, and that is what too many
OF us are now trying to do.

That Hang-the-Kaiser
Complex

XVI HEN the World War came to its sudden
w end and sullen Germany stood properly
manacled, leg-ironed and helpless before the
victorious allies, they gave her the third degree
to make her confess she and her allies were
solely responsible for the havoc.
Today, six and a half years later, there is a
growing inclination, in allied countries, to re-
woke those clauses in the treaty Of Versailles
which perpetuate Germany forced confession.
One hundred prominent Frenchmen began the
movement by signing petition and now 100
equally eminent Britishers, the United Press
tells u.s. have followed suit--among them being
Arnold Bennett, Forbes Robertson, H. G. Wells.
Lady Gladstone, Israel Zangwill and Bernard
Shaw.
Gradually the world is recovering its
sanity, as this symptom shows. Our courts,
like the British French, Belgian and other civil
lized courts do not recognize confessions OBJ
tanned by torture. Germany's confession was
written out for her by the allies and she had to
sign on the dotted line else the re-
newed That meant invasion, with victorious
armies sweeping over old and youn in a
steam-roller march on Berlin.
OF course Germany signed but her confess
sion meant nothing. 1t did not change her point
of view nor the world s point of view, by a
single jot. All chung to their original beliefs
that Germany was guilty of starting the war,
or not guilty, as the case might be. And ever
since the only effect of that forced confession
has been merely to help keep wartime animos-
ties alive.
Fixing war guilt, it is true, was partly by
way of preamble to making Germany pay the
damages. But a forced confession did not
strengthen the case against her. The mere af-
frmation by the allies that Germany was to
blame, and that she would therefore have to
pay, would have been just as convincing, and
quite as just, basis for PREPARATIONS. AS for
publicly arraigning William II of Hohen-
zollern'' before high tribunal composed Of
allied judges and hanging him for his crimes,
though entirely comprehensive. A man, fight
ing for his life, is scarcely responsible at the
time for what he says or does. Neither is ma
ton. Hang the Kaiser was born of war;
time psychology. Likewise third-degreeinig
Germany.
The hang-the-Kaiser complex vanished al
most before the ink dried on Germany's sigma
ture at Versailles. Now America, whose Sec
of the "war guilt" commission at Paris, might
well join with France and Britain to remove
that other equal, though less glaring, absurdity.
