Governor LoWden
Steps i'm

I'm Al OST political observers felt that President
zslxY Coolidge reduced his prestige in the mid
idle and northwestern farming States by his re-
cent speech in Chicago. His pleasant picture
zof the independent farmer didn't go down so
/ well in the bank-busting belt Nor did his idea
/ that the farmer is one citizen who cannot be
Haided by the Government. The organization
(which he travelled to Chicago to address wait
led only until he had taken his train and then
adopted resolutions directly contrary to his
Suggestions.
The first politician Of Importance to step
1 unto the wide opening made by the President
/ is former Governor Frank O. Lowden of ILL
'nois, who came so near being nominated for the
presidency in 1920 and who is suspected of still
cherishing high ambitions. Lowden, who is a
business farmer on big scale and a successful
one, has been studying the agricultural prob
lem to the exclusion of most every other ques-
ton the past several years, He has been speak
ing to farmers organizations in all corners Of
the country and it has become hard for anyone
with ideas on the subject to pass through Chi
cago without engaging in conversation with
him
interviewed few days ago, he said:
i do not yield to the view that this re.
public, through failure to reach a sound
agrarian policy, has begun to decay, and
must go down as other republics have gone
down.
We are beginning to question the ORTIZ
Odox views of the so-called law of supply
and demand We must listen to the newer
economists, take the findings of scientists
and use them
Then he proceeded to declare that he
elidn t believe the farmers could ever 60 back
to their independence as units in civilization.

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
NOT so
PROSPEROUS
BY GAYLORD NELSON

PPOINTMENT of receiver
IA recently on petition of
~ creditors of the Indiana
Red Ball Lines, Inc, and the
Union Bus Station Company, re-
veals that the operators of inter-
city motor buses are not finding
the business all ambrosia and nee
tar.
AT least, the Indiana Red Ball
Lines, Inc, one of the largest
operators of lines out OF Indian
apolis, is not so prosperous.
The receiver says the financial
difficulties of the company are not
due to lack of patronage by the
travelling public, but to inadequate
rates The company has not been
able to earn operating expenses
and return on the investment. He
win ask the public service COM
mission for q fare increase.
Last week another large bus
operator was granted a rate in
crease by the commission on the
same plea
These incidents should hearten
other transportation agencies that
have shuddered over the specter
OF bus competition, fearing that
they would be wiped out Of ex-
istence, No doubt motor buses
will occupy an important place in
the transit f1eld-huf IN find their.
proper place and fit them to it
will take time, grief and expert
ment.

Sheer BuncOmbe!

xvi ASHlNGTON seems to be having a ter
wv rible time deciding what to do with
the League Of Nations invitation to help pre-
pare program for another arms conference.
Confabs at the White House are followed
by whisperings at the Capitol. Senator Bor-
ah confers with Secretary Kellogg and
Colonel House is closeted with President Cool
idge. Then they all change partners and
swing round again.
Why all this todos A Washington OBJ
server let's us in on the big secret. ''The in
vitation really presents a knotty problem !"
he says. "The United States is bent upon re-
naming free from entanglements abroad"
The old, familiar chestnut The answer,
of course, is pish, tush and piffle; likewise
pure and unadulterated buncombe!
President Coolidge has been telling the
country ever since he entered the White
House, that he favors another arms confer
ence. In fact he has intimated he would call
one himself as soon as Europe showed signs of
burying the Ratchet. And now that she has
done so-at Locarno-the world, including
Mr.. Coolidge, has admitted that the moment
for the parley seems at hand.
But Washington, oddly enough, is now
stalling. 1t talks of "entangements despite
the fact that the leagues invitation is not to
an arms conference at all, but merely to ar
range for one. There can be no more ques-
ton of foreign entanglements" in accepting
such bid than you entangled The United
with China the last time you ate chop suey
The truth is some of the politicians are
terribly afraid the league may gain little
glory. You heard no talk of ''entangle-
ments" back in 1921 when this country called
the conference. Yet America was running
quite obvious to risks. She was bound, in adj
vance, to stick to the conference, win or lose,
1t was her conference and failure meant a big
blow to her prestige. Should she attend
similar conference, held elsewhere, she would
patiently be perfectly free, at any time, to
withdraw and return home the moment things
took turn contrary to her policies
President Coolidge has let it be known
that he is for the parley. But he can not de-
pend upon his own party to back him up He
must go outside for support.
What America needs most right now is
more statesmen and fewer politicians Her
popularity outside the country is at low ebb
and here you have one of the reasons why.

Text: "And she brought forth
her first-bOrn son and wrapped him
IN swaddling clothes and Laid him
n manager; because there was no
room for them in the inn."-
Luke III.
TT DECREE had gone out from
al Caesar Augustus that all the
-1 world should be taxed. And
all went to be taxed, everyone to his
own city. 1t was this that brought
Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem. 1t
brought hundreds OF others and the
little village was crowded to the
limit. Joseph and Mary applied at
the inn for place to lodge, but
there was no room and they were
sent to the stable for lodgings. That
night Jesus was born and Graded in
manger.
Many times as we have read this
story we have grown indignant. We
have felt that the Savior was
treated very rudely. How unkind,
we say, how cruel, that Joseph and
his expectant spouse should be
crowded out of the inn and forced
to lodge in a stablei How unfortunate
that the Savior Of the world should
be accorded such treatment at his
BIRTH

A Sermon for Today
BY Rev. John r. Gunr

But how about the treatment we
give Him today? If we feel in
dignant at the treatment. He re-
ceived at the time of His birth, what
about our treatment of Him? If we
think the innkeeper was unkipd and
inhospitable when he shut him out
of the inn and sent Him to the
stable, how unkind and inhospitable
are we today when we shut Him out
or our homes, our hearts and lives.
The innkeeper did not know and we
can excuse him. But we cannot ex-
cuse~ ourselves on this ground. we
know about Him, and in a thousand
ways we have been the recipients
of His kindness and love. And vet,
many of us are still crowding Him
out. We have no room for Him.
Let us at this Christmas season
ponder this matter. If we have been
shutting Him out of our homes. IL we
have been shutting Him out of our
hearts, If we have been crowding
Him out Of our lives, let us make a
place for Him. How His presence
hallowed that stable in Bethlehem
And what hallowing influence His
presence wilf-bring to our homes
and into our lives

STILLS HIDE
EVERYWHERE

Xvi HEN Sheriff Saunders Of
IWI Boone County, reached the
- scene of an automobile col.
hsion near Lebanon, Monday, he
found in the back seat of one of
the wrecked machines a stin bub-
bling merrily. 1t was doing its
stuff despite the collision.
The discovery was not so amaz-
ing. In these desiccated DAVIS
Illicit moonshine stills hide every
where.
They are found in kitchens, I'M
der beds, in parlors garages, barns,
outhouses. henhouses, cellars and
demounted and buried in rubbish.
To find one simmering contented-
ly in the back seat of a flivver is
not strange.
The distilation of potable LIQUOR
is an intricate process, requiring
scrupulously clean apparatus, ex.
pert supervision, and sanitary sur
roundings. Even then the pro-
duct must be aged before It is fit
to drink.
What sort Of output can be ex.
pected from the average make
shift still confiscated In Indiana?
Embalming fluid would be a safer
tastier beverage.
The boys who are addicted 10 the
moonshine manufactured in back
seats Of flivvers. and other UNI
conventional places. won't trouble
prohibition authorities long. Soon
they won't have to be watched;
they'll have to be buried.

Let Santa Claus Come Out of Photograph
Before the Tree on Christmas Morning
by Walter d. Hickman

o you know that the children
HI may hear the voice OF Santa
LII Claus himself on Christmas
morning.
Because he is hiding in your
photograph il you make the
necessary arrangements.
The voice of Santa, talking to the
children from the monograph on
Christmas morning viii be most de-
lightful.
1t can be done with the greatest
ease. Just get hold Of the Bruins.
wick comedy record, santa Claus
Hides in the Photograph, by Santa
Claus Himself ernest IIarel.
In the most kindly voice Santa
Claus greets the children from the
monograph. He tells them that he
doesn't look so well on Christmas
morning, because he has been going
down chimneys all night and that
his beautiful red coat all trimmed
in white fur is covered with black
SCOT.
But Santa Claus is happy, because
millions of little boys and girls all
over the land have been visited by
him. He bids the children to beat
their drums, the girls to play with
their dolls and then he sings
a little song. slips away from the
monograph to remain for a whole
year in his toy shop at the North
Pole or where his home happens
to be.
Try this Brunswick record on
Christmas morning. Let the voice
of Santa awaken the children even
if it is a. m.
1t will increase the spirit Of
Christmas among the children a
thousand per cent.
Let there be music in the home
on Christmas Day. I suggest that
you buy records especially for this
occasion. l have received many
such records for review from Bruins
wick, Odeon, Okeh, Columbia and
other makes.
L suggest this following Ideal
Christmas day program in your
own home upon your own phono.
graph:
Emmy Bettendorf, soprano with
pipe organ, singing "Silent Night,
Holy Night" One other side, 20
Sanctissima, as played by Fritz
Ohrmann, pipe organ and Julius
Berger, cello. 1t is an Odeon re-
corded in Europe.
Choral Phantasy Praise the
Lord" played by Paul Mania at the
pipe organ. A marvellous number
and it brings the right mental at
titude on Christmas. On other side:
Choral Prelude" played by Kurt
Crosse at the organ. An Odeon rec
ord.
Silent Night" Christmas hymn
played by the F'redrio Fradlxin Trio
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-12-23

Other side, "Holy Night" by same
organization. The wonderous beauty
of these wonderful melodies are fully
developed upon the Brunswick rec
ord.
'Kinky Kids Paradise" one OF
those light joyful things which will
make the kiddies march. On other
side, "Charlestonette." Both played
on a Brunswick by Bonnie Krueg-
er's orchestra. Okeh also has 'Hinky
Kids Paradise" which sounds a
good deal like Parade of the Wood
EN- Soldiers" played by Vincent Lo-
pei and his Hotel Pennsylvania or
chestra.
Loving Just YOU" written by Art
Gillian and Olsen, played and sung
by Gillian in that chummy and in
innate way. 1t is sentimental and
gets right into the heart. On other
side, "Are You Sorry?," just the
thing If you are sorry and still in
love. You will find Gillian, known
as 1.-THE Whispering Pianist" on
Columbia record only. Then you
will get Gillian again on a Column
bia, singing II Had Someone Else
Before I Had You" and "You May
Be Lonesome" Splendid.
"Guitarre" and Nobody Knows
De Trouble I've Seem" negro
spiritual, both played in all of their
haunting beauty by Albert Spalding,
violinist. Pianoforte by Andre
Bernoist. A fine Brunswick pur-
chase.
Merry Christmas" a descriptive
medley, filled with Christmas spirit
played by Bejos Bella and his foreign
orchestra on a two-par Odeon rec
ord.
have played all OF these records
and many others Of the new Christ
mas releases and I recommend this
list without any fear.

SCHOOLS HIT
ANOTHER SNAG

p lOINTE ClN AN, IN superior
L Court, Monday, temporar-
LIZ lily enjoined the Indianapo-
lis school board from executing
contracts with architects for con-
structing six new grade schools.
The action was on petition of q
local taxpayer.
So the school building program
hits another snag. That's one OF
the best things 1t does.
For the past month or two the
expiring school board has been
feverishly active over the building
program, after a couple Of years
discussion of the necessity for in
ere asing school contraction.
But because of objections, pro-
crastinations and legal hurdles,
probably nothing more win be
done until the present board dies
and the new school commissioners
take office.
Whether the old board or the
new should let contracts and pro-
coed with the details of providing
new school facilities doesn't great
ly interest the average citizen. All
he wants is decent school facilities
for his children as soon as possible
the doing away Of present con-
gested and unsatisfactory school
rooms. He doesn't care who SUI
pervises the construction of the
new buildings; he wants the
buildings.
No one seriously denies the need
Of the new buildings proposed.
But unless the building program
shows more speed than it has in
the last two months the new build
ings won't be completed in time to
benefit this generation of school
children. Schools can't be built
on paper or in court.
