BULGAR SITUATION
REGARDED SERIOUS
News Conflicting and Unreliable, But
Indications are That Government
Is Having Serious Trouble.

Llondon.-Informati reaching Lon
don regarding the troubles in Bulgaria
is of such q character as to preclude
satisfactory estimate of the situation.
The censorship established under
the state of martial law apparently is
preventing independent observers there
from recording Developments and there
are no means of checking up on the
rumors emanating from such doubtful
centers as Vienna and Belgrade, which
are sending out reports of massacres,
wholesale executions and fighting, with
enormous numbers of casualties.
These stories are denied by the Bull
garian government and the situation so
far as news here goes is one Of re-
peated assertions and contradictions.
The London newspapers mostly accept
the view that the Bulgarian govern
ment is engaged in quelling desper-
ate communist rebellion, initiated and
fostered from Moscow.
Communists On Hunger Strike.
Berlin.-Fifty communists, held in
the city jail on charges of political
offenses, have begun hunger strike in
protest against what they allege is the
intentional delay by the authorities in
bringing them to trial.
Students Have Bloody Battle.
Vienna.--A number OF Bulgarian
students at Gratz, supporters Of the
Sofia government, yesterday forced
their way into hotel room where Bull
garian omrnunist-students were hold
ing a meeting and bloody battle en-
sued. The police found many of the
students injured so severely as to re-
Quire hospital treatment.
Arresting All Russians.
Vienna - The Zankoff government
is arresting Russians throughout Bull
garia whether or not they are Com
munists, according to Sofia advices.
The privilege of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings is not functioning for the
moment. OfRuials assume the sus-
poets, If, Russians are guilty unless
they prove their innocence.

Smoke. and Clouds
Darker Milwaukee

Milwaukee, Wis.-Heavy banks of
clouds, from which drenching rain
accompanied by hail fell, threw Mil
4waukee and vicinity into almost total
darkness shortly before 10 a. m. to-
day The clouds worked in from the
west, and passed over Lake Michigan,
accompanied by but light wind.
The darkness caused considerable
traffic confusion, until the street lights
throughout the city were thrown on.
In explaining the cause of the dark
ness the weather bureau said a heavy
smoke bank had formed over the city
early in the day, and had been carried
to the west by an east wind. When
the rain storm formed, the wind shift
ed to the west and the smoke bank,
accompanied by a heavy thunder head,
combined to cause almost total dark
ness.

Fair Price Lists

CC7OME communities have found it neces-
- sary to resort to ''fair price lists' for
coal to keep the public from being gouged I'm
scrupulous operators, jobbers, dealers and
spectators are accused of manipulation and
boarding to realize extortionate profits. An
thracite prices have scared because of the
strike and consequent scarcity. Some dealers
have taken advantage of the situation to boost
bituminous coal and other substitutes.
The American Fair Trade League of New
York, composed of 800 manufacturers and
trade associations, has just found, for instance,
that anthracite operators are adulterating and
misbranding coal, and are mulcting the public
by RESTING scheme which they force on
dealers.
1t is well within the police powers of the
States to prevent public suffering by any rea-
sonable means.
Care is needed however, in compiling a
fair price list" The tendency of such lists is
to elevate all low prices to the level estab-
lished. If the prices announced are too high,
the public suffers more than it benefits
Any fair price list" should be based on
large number of actual bona ide transactions.
The retail figure should include the price at
the mine, plus freight, plus reasonable profit
for jobhers, plus reasonable profit for dealers.
A thorough survey of the wholesale coal mar
kets is necessary for this, to include all stand
ard grades and sizes. And the public should
be acquainted with the profits that are made.

No one can dispute her justi-
fication in severing the marital
tie. But why didn't she do 1t soon

One can sympathize with her
over her domestic tragedy. But
she carried the virtues Of meek
ness and forgiveness to excess.
Her own readiness to take back
her clipping husband with quick
silver affections encouraged his
marital derelictions. The prim-
rose path was easy for him be-
cause he knew when he tired of It
his forgiving wife awaited his re-
turn.
If, after his first escapade, she

Fixing Prices

Tn AM opposed to price-fxing as a govern
mental principle" says Senator Ship
stead of Minnesota, "but the Administration
has seen fit to protect the price of manufac-
tured products by the tariff. Big combines,
like steel manufacturers, are allowed to set
their own prices. The prices of electricity,
telephones, street car fares, are all fixed. AS
long as this system is continued, I say the
farmer should have the same advantage"
He offers bill to set up a government
farm commission to buy farm products when
there is surplus and thus maintain steady
and profitable market. The lineup in Con-
gress against Government aid of this kind is
such that Shipstead himself probably has little
hope of seeing his bill passed. But he has
voiced question that is growing larger year
by year in the farmers minds and some day
there will be an emphatic call for an answer.
This answer in the first instance, likely as
not, will be legislation for the farmers benefit
without regard to the consumer. That's the
way we do things unfortunately. That is the
principle Of the protective tariff.
The final answer must be a system that
will provide protection for both producer and
consumer. There are too many proft-takers
between the man who raises vegetables and the
man who buys them Eliminating some of
these is still nine-tenths of our agricultural
problems.

SCH00LH0USES
AND LOCAL PRIDE

GORGE SPENCER, assist
ant State superintendent Of
public instruction, told
gathering Of school men in Mum
Gle recently that "inordinate local
pride is in part to blame for the
high cost Of education in Indiana"
Township high schools with
small enrolment are continued at
great expense, unnecessary and
too big and elaborate school struc-
lures have ben built in a spirit OF
rivalry among communities and
school units. he charged.
He wasn't talking about Indian
apolis.
Here such inordinate local pride
Is conspicuouly absent Many In
dianapolis school children pursue
education in dingy, himsy port
ables and wooden structures, I'M
der conditions that would be dis
graceful in the most backward ru-
raj district in the State.
No doubt in many localities
school building has been carried to
extremes. Imposing edifices of
large dimensions with huge gym
nasiums, all conveniences and most
educational luxuries, have broken
out all over the State where once
little red schoolhouses sufflced.
Right here in Marion County are
township high schools that would
put to shame any buildings of the
Indianapolis school plant.
But is it reprehensible for rural
districts and communities to go in
so strong for magnificent schools?
Suppose It is the result OF the
spirit of rivalry and inordinate To-
cal pride. Local pride will always
find an outlet. A monumental
school building is at least more
useful than some Of the other ex-
hibits of local pride-million-do
courthouses in 10-cent counties
and galaxies of defunct leading
citizens, wearing wrinkled pants
and seraphic expressions. done in
bronze in public squares.

POLITICS AND
THE PARK BOARD

C-1HE indianapolis Local Coun-
Gil of Women resoluted Wig
- orously Thursday against
the injection Of politics into the
control Of the city park system.
Intent of our hidden mayor-elect
to supplant the present non
partisan board with his own APP
pointees,. as announced by grape
vine telegraph, prompted the &C
ton.
The Indianapolis park board law,
with it's provisions for nonpartisan
control, has been applauded and
widely copied by other municipal
ties. And the indianapolis park
system has grown and prospered
under it-employes have been re-
tanned and promoted according to
merit.
Lets continue to keep politics
out and the merit system in our
park administration" urge the
women.
OF course it would be too bad if
the Indianapolis park affairs should
sink into efficiency by becoming
a political grab-bag, as the women
seem to fear There Is no ques-
ton in their minds but that a
change from the present nonpar-
tisan method of control would be
disastrous.
Their protest seems logical.
But, after all, park development
and operation form a relatively
small part of the municipal ad-
ministration. Preservation Of or
der, protection Of life, property
and health, maintenance of streets
and construction Of necessary pub
lie works are all more vital func-
lions of city government than the
park system.
II political control is bad for
park-as is generally conceded
how much worse is 1t for police
and fire departments and other
really important branches of city
administration?

TORRENTS
OF ORATORY

CT7 FIFTEEN hours of oratory
have just been spilled by
- the lawyers in final argu-
ments in the Stephenson case be-
fore a comatose jury at Mobiles
vile. And some of the attorneys
in the trial craved even more time
for haranguing the jury.
Fifteen solid hours of scintil-
lating adjectives. corroding in
vectives, and perfervid periodsl
Tens Of thousands Of words
dragged out of the dictionary and
run ragged in summing up a
simple criminal case.
Genesis tells the story of the
creation of the world in about 700
words. .Lincoln's Gettysburg speech
rated the greatest oratorical
gem in the English language
only consumed about three minutes
in delivery.
Yet after a four weeks trial
lawyers still require fifteen hours
of verbal pyrotechnics over the
case Of D. c. Stephenson. APP
parently that man is more i'm
portant than the Gettysburg
dedication or the creation Of the
world.
The torrents of oratory in this
case are typical of our criminal
trials.
Criminal cases are presumed to
be decided according to the law
and the facts. The facts are
supplied by examination of wit
nesses under oath. The law Is ex-
pounded by the presiding Judge.
What more do juries need before
celebrating on verdict? Why
should they be deluged with
oratory by swivel jawed counsel as
a prelude to their deliberations?
1t would be an interesting ex-
pertinent IL criminal cases were
handed to iuries as soon as the
last sur-rebuttal witness left the
stand and the judge explained the
law. The innovation might, help
not hinder-but a wave Of apoplexy
would sweep bar associations.

they make me feel as If part of

were less to live for. They make life
and work harder for us all.
To be a discourager, is a grievous

be an encourager, to be an inspirer
Of hope and cheer, is magnified as a
