What Does The Day
Celebrate?
7RHO owns Armistice Day?"

HHU7 HO owns Armlstlce Day?'
w That question is raised by the Re-
serve Officers Association of the United
States, coupled with the assertion that those
who fought the war and won the victory own
the day and have a right to say how it shall
be celebrated.
With an intolerance that is too widespread
in this country already the fighters who claim
they won Armistice Day declare war on all
who oppose their plan and denounce them as
p~acitists.
The real issue appears to be whether our
celebration of Armistice Day shall glorify war
or peace.
When the news came to an anxious, tired,
weary and war-worn world that the armistice
had been signed and the World War was over,
there was a spontaneous celebration all over
the world and it was a celebration of peace,
not a gloriication of war.
People everywhere were hysterical with
JOY. But it wasn't the hysteria of combat. 1t
wasn't inspired by love Of war. 1t was an
explosion of relief and gladness because the
madness of war was over and peace on earth
was in sight.
That should be. the spirit of Armistice
lay. For the day belongs neither to fighters
nor to ~pacifsts, but to all humanity; and in
the United States to every man, woman and
child.
If professional soldiers want q national
defense day when they may glorify war and
advertise preparedness, then let some other
day be selected. We may love peace and still
admit the advisability of preparedness as in
surance against war, but to celebrate war on
Armistice Day would be a perversion of the
spirit of the day when the peoples of the
world quit wholesale murder and began to set
tie down to the pursuits of peace.

In Picking the so-called christian Cen
eral, " Feng-Yu-hsiang, is in the saddle-thanks
to his selling last years games.
General WI Pei-fu, leader of the Picking
forces, was at that time at war against Chang.
The christian" Feng was Wu's mainstay. At
the moment Feng was supposed to be hurting
his legions against Changs key position along
the Great Wall Of China, he was sneaking back
to Peking, which he secretly entered and cap
tured for himself.
Chang made a triumphant entry into

REFORM NG
STATE MACHINERY

- GOVERNOR JACKSON an
IL = nounced the other day his
IL appointment of members of
the new Indiana library and. his
tr'cal board. This body will con-
troll the State library, historical
commission and legislative refer
ence bureau.
A committee selected by the
Governor. before Inauguration,
surveyed the State governmental
structure. Abolition Of useless
boards. Encouragement and CON
solidation of departmental func-
tons, to secure greater efficiency
and economy in operation. was the
purpose.
IN its report the committee sug-
gested no radical changes in ex-
listing machinery. But Of it's few
recommendations the only one
adopted by the Legislature was the
least important-combining H.
brary, historical commission and
Ac6iSAdINc IelSIcuCe DuTedu unQer
a single board.
Abolition of the oil inspection
department and other reforms
proposed were rejected. They
were too deeply intrenched in
politics To be disturbed-even for
efficiency and economy.
Probably Indiana's government
is less complex and ciuttered with
useless bodies than some other
States-for 1t has only about
seventy State boards and commits
sions besides the usual array of
departments and bureaus. Still it
has enough for considerable waste
motion and overlapping.
But the easiest thing in the
world to create-and the hardest
thing to kills a useless govern
ment bureau. The more offices
the more jobs-and politicians
love their patronage.

"A Step Forward

r INDIANAPOLIS will celebrate tomorrow
l the opening of the largest motor bus
terminal in the country. The celebration will
mark a distinctly progressive step in the city
and State.
Indiana has been a leader in the field OF
transportation. 1t was here that electric trans
portation was developed in the early days of
the business, and Indianapolis still is the great
est interurban center in the country.
The motor bus is just another step in the
evolution of transportation. Less than a
century ago, covered wagons in long trains
traversed the mud of the old National Road,
now Washington st. Indianapolis then was
an important link in transportation.
Then came the canal and the railroad. IL
dianapolis had both in the early days. Settlers
steamed into the city from the Ohio river at
Madison on one of the earliest steam roads in
this part of the country.
Then came the electric lines Again In
diana was a pioneer State in transportation.
Trolley cars were proved to be practical when
run over rails laid in Indiana and the great
Indianapolis Traction Terminal Station was
erected. Traction lines still form a spiderweb
pattern in every direction from Indianapolis.
Next was the automobile 1t was invented
by a Hoosier at Kokomo. 1t revolutionized
transportation. 1t brought country and city
together as nothing ever had before. 1t was
only natural that the automobile should de-
velop into a means Of commercial transporta-
zion OF passengers and freight-and it was
only natural that Indiana should be a leader
in this field.
So tomorrow we dedicate a great bus
terminal, situated only a block south of Wash
lngton st. in one of the most rapidly develop
ing sections of the city. We are proud of the
achievements Of the men who made this ter
minal possible.
In passing, it might be pointed out that
two Hoosiers-the Wright brothers-made
possible the most modern vehicle Of trans
pcrtation, the ~airplane. Who knows what the
future holds?

1t is this conception of the charac-

that is a big accomplishment.
Mary Brian is Alix, the little

This bulletin tells that the Department

sale of American agricultural implements, au-
tomobiles, apples, coal, leather, corn, general
merchandise and so forth in f~orty-six foreign

Commissioner Nugent's
Protest

Fo1OMMISSIONER JOHN F. NUGENT of
~ the Federal Trade Commission, in a re
port concurred in by Commissioner Huston
Thompson, protests sharply against the rules
of secrecy that have just been imposed on the
commission by a majority of three Of the five
members
The threat Of publicity against business
nen who do not play fair with their competi-
tors and the public is regarded by Nugent as
the most effective power in the commissions
possession. Stripped Of the right to give out
Information if the guilty merchant or manu-
facturer merely agrees not to dupe his custo-
ners any longer the commission can not serve
its intended purpose.
In the nine years from 1916 to 1924 the
trade commission considered 1861 complaints
from business men and business organizations.
Publicity was given to 968 of these cases after
an examination had shown an apparent basis
of complaint. Of these, AZ were eventually
found to be unwarranted.
Considering the tremendous number Of
cases that come. before the commission, and the
drastic way in which it's appropriations have
been cut, this seems to be a splendid record. To
discard the whole system, as the majority
members have done, is comparable to throwing
away an automobile because OF, an occasional
puncture.

Last week State police made 1876
arrests for violations of twenty
different regulations of the motor

policeman and a superhuman
driver to remember all the rules.
Traffic regulations r so thick
they step on each others heels.
There are already enough in ex-
istence to make streets and high
ways perfectly safe-if enforced.
Yet cars, drivers and pedestrians

More rules carefully written out

change the situation. They are

not so uncommon. Our courts are

aged and infirm parents.
Only a few days ago the circuit
court at columbus Qnd.) had to
order seven sons to contribute the
munificent sum of $3.50 weekly
for the support of their S5-year-old,
paralyzed mother. Through their
neglect she had become a county
charge.
OF course parents when they be-
come old, perhaps querulous. are
not economically worth their keep.
They may be burdens to their
children-if the latter are moved
solely by selfish economics and
not by love and affection.
However, there seems no con-
venient way to get rid of the
burden. Pushing parents
a cliff or into the river is a messy
job-and they won't vanish into
thin air by a provision Of nature.
The burden must be assumed
either by their family or society.
That society should be forced
so often to compel sons to do their
duty indicates that even in In
diana civilization isn't more than
skin deep in spots.
