Promotion

TIFF you have something to sell, proper pro-
motion will sell it. That is an old truism
of business. Indianapolis has something to sell.
Let's be honest with ourselves and admit that
we are not doing as good job of selling our
city as we would like. Perhaps it is because
we lack proper promotion and the things that
make such promotion possible.
Florida is being sold by promoters. We
believe it is being considerably over-sold and
that not all the claims made for the future
possibilities of that State are justifable. We
don't believe in disappearing our goods and
would not suggest for moment that Indian
apolis be sold through Misrepresentation. That
is not what we mean by promotion.
There may be significance in the fact that
two of the principal promoters of the Florida
boom are indianapolis men, We'refer to Carl
G.. Fisher and Joseph Young. These men, Mr.
Fisher, especially, did much for Indianapolis.
But they did not take up the promotion of this
city on a large scale. We certainly are not will
ing to admit that it was because Indianapolis
does not possess salable advantages. Can it
have been, then, because the population of In
dianapolis itself offered too much resistance
We don It know, but it is worth thinking about.
Recently we had a greater Indianapolis
movement We had a parade and street dane
ing and an all around big time The movement
accomplished exactly nothing for the better
ment of Indianapolis Accomplishment may
end with a celebration 1t avails nothing to
start that way.
Indianapolis is city of luncheon clubs
and civic bodies of various kinds Every day
there is meeting of one or more organizations.
They are worth while social gatherings, but are
they doing their utmost for the promotion Of
the city Of indianapolis? 1t is doubtful
We are purposely being brutally frank 1t
is not our purpose to be offensive or to hurt
anybody's feelings. We are simply trying to
think this thing out-in printAand at the same
time attempt to suggest things that will start
others thinking,
The thing we most need in indianapolis is
that quality without which no enterprise can be
successful confdence. What we need in this
town is more pulling together. 1t should make
no difference who makes a suggestion for the
good of Indianapolis. If it is good suggestion,
it shout be acted on. 1t should not be matter
Of who gets the credit. 1t should be a matter
of the good Of the city, which must necessarily
mean the good of the citizens.
With a lot of confidence and some really
active promotion we should be sitting on top
of the world. indianapolis is a good town, but
it can be made a bigger and better one

"A Real Challenge
to Labor

T7 INDUSTRY in the United States is going
south It is on its way now, but present
velopment-strikng as it ISIS only the be-
ginning. The movement will only be checked
when the wages of industrial laborers in the
South rise to the level of those workers in
other sections offthe country.
There are over million and a half tenant
armers in the thirteen cotton-producing states
Of the South More than one-half Of them are
white. They represent a tremendous potential
supply of cheap labor. Landless, largely litter
ate, unorganized, bound by tobacco and cot
ton cash croy system, and exploited by what
may well be the most vicious system of mer-
camille credit yet devised by man. these tenant
farmers who are easily trained as machine
workers offer an irresistible nducement to in
dustry
And industry similarly offers an accept
able inducement to the tenant farmer There
no question Of resistance. The tenant farmers,
as an economic group, have none To be freed
from the hopeless and bitter drudgery of slav-
ing all year for the chance to do the same thing
over again the next, the tenant farmers cheer
fully accept industrial employment at low
enough to keep nourished, decently clothed,
and even to see movie or a horse race now
and then. For them industrialism is a boon.
They do not chafe particularly under the
system of paternalism which is one Of the
cornerstones of the factory systenain the South.
They do not resent particularly that they
have no chance to own their homes They never
have owned home. Company stores, company
recreation grounds company entertainments,
and company thinking for the workers do not
worry them. These things are all in the nature
of luxury anyway.
But what of the workers in the rest of the
country2 For them this southern industrial de-
velopment constitutes real threat. 1t is not
merely question of paternahsm VS.. a system
of cheap labor The lower wages which the
southern industrial workers receive4tabout

CLOSING PLEAS
Are BEGUN In
WOLFE'S TRIAL
Tits Between Attorneys
Mark Defense TeSti-
mony Tuesday.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 1S.-Closing
arguments were begun today in the
trial of Charles zone ARM Wolfe,
alleged pal of the late Dutch" An
derson, charged with the revenge"
murder of Ben and Mary Hance, be-
trayers of Gerald Chapman, bandit
prince, last summer.
The defense rested suddenly this
morning after Tuesday was spent
in an effort to establish an alibi for
Wolfe. Tits between Prosecutor
Van l.. Ogle and John O'Neill, chief
defense counsel, featured:
Bunch on Stand
The first came when DIR. Rollin
Bunch, former mayor of Muncie.
testified that Wolfe was in his office
about 445 on the afternoon Of the
murder. The State on cross-examin.
alton asked Or. Bunch whether he
had been sentenced to Federal
prison and whether Wolfe had be.
come his patient after DIR. Harry
Spickermon had been sent to the
Federal Prison for violating the
narcotics laws.
The defense then brought out that
DIR, Spokesman was brother-in-law
of the States attorney. Ogle shouted,
II didn't marry the whole family"
Another fight took place when an
auto salesman testified that he had
made the trip over the route which
the State claims Wolfe travelled, once
in one Of his cars and again in
the Marmon auto owned by Mr..
O'Neill of the defense.
Calls Him "Cur''
isn't the Marmon car now owned
by Mr.. O'Neill the same one that
Gerald Chapman formerly owned?''
the State asked.
THAT is cowardly and only a cur
would ask such a question" O'Neill
shouted back. Listen here, brother,
I make my money as honestly as
you do and probably more So"

ously fear that such clothing will
seduce beholders and civilization
will go to smash.
Blu the thunderers see such
styles without their own morals
being corrupted apparently. Is It
likely that the morals of other
people are more susceptible to the
influence of clothing or lack Of
clothing?
Attire has nothing to do with
morals.
Eve wasn't more moral after
she donned her fig leaf than be-
fore: If the classical Greeks
dressed like their statues they
donned little but a facial express
sion when they stepped out. Yet
neither they nor their contempt
raries considered them immodest.
Greek athletes wore only a film
of olive oil. We still praise the
virtues and high private morals
OF the ancient Greeks.
Probably the most debauched So
ciety of any age was the French
court in the days of Du Barry and
Nine. De Pompahour. yet then
women were upholstered and be-
frilled from chin to heel.
Perhaps the tight lacing and
bustles that made hips stand out
like mantelpieces, affected by mid
Victorian ladies, were inherently
more conducive to high morality
than the present mode which puts
hips in the background and silk
clad ankles in the foreground.
But it is doubtful. Modesty and
morality depend on the upholster-
ing of the mind, not the upholster-
ing Of the body.

What is the width of the Miss
issippi River? Is It the widest
river in the United States?
The Mississippi is the widest river
in the United States. 1t is about 900
feet wide at Cairo, Illinois. Below
Cairo the project width is 5000 feet,
the natural low water width is 1000
to $500 feet. and the banll-full width
is 1000 to 10000 feet. From here
on to the delta, a thousand miles be-
low, the river widens to about ten
miles across.
