UNION OF
CHURCHES

mi O churches - Methodist
and Presbyterian at
~ Boggstown, a hamlet in
Shelby County, have voted to
unite. One strong church will
succeed two weak ones in the
little community.
To a layman such union Of
churches seems logical and de-
sirable. Two churches where one
would suffice is an unnecessary
duplication of spiritual overhead
and overlapping of effort.
The average layman today is
not much concerned with the
doctrinal and creeda1 differences
that once divided denominations
The Arian heresy and other
theological disputes that agitated
the early church fathers seems
meaningless now to ordinary
church-going citizens.
So the idea of church union,
particularly in small. towns, is
gaining ground. In Canada it has
recently been undertaken on a
large scale. There Presbyterians,
Congregationalists, and Methodists
combined in a single organization.
A total of S,771 congregations were
affected by the merger. A similar
move is under consideration in
Wales
But real union is still far off.
Union and division go hand in
hand. A few Canadian churches
refused to join in the merger and
have organized am independent
denomination. While in the United
States here and there a couple Of
churches unite and evolution con-
troversies threaten to split old
sects.
Church union collides with
human nature. There is always
an intractable minority that Win
refuse to follow the crowd to the
common goal. but will insist on
their own path.

FOR A GREATER
INDIANAPOLIS

TC7 OL MEYER, president of the
~ Meyer Kiser Bank, proposes
IL a million dollar fund to be
used in promoting the industrial
expansion of indianapolis. He and
his associates are ready to con-
tribute $25,000 to further such an
industrial campaign.
Indianapolis is a great city. Art,
literature, homes, industry and
trade flourish here. 1t has strate-
gic location exceptional transpor-
tation facilities and other induce
ments attractive to factories and
business enterprises.
But it can become a greater city
through intelligent fosteringo of in
dustry, on which in the final
analysis the prosperity and we'll
being of every citizen, worker,
capitalist, and professional man
depends.
To become a greater city indus
trially it must do something be-
sides pat itself on the back and
boast of it's advantages and accom-
= plishments to it's own citizens. 1t
must convince the outside bust
ness man. and manufacturer who
are seeking suitable locations, To
do that requires a well-financed,
carefully planned campaign not
booster speeches among ourselves.
A million dollars, expended over
a period of five years, Should do
mucl, for the expansion of Indian
apolis industry and solid civic
growth. But much could be done
to make this a greater city without
expenditure of dollar.
l.. Indianapolis has many advan-
tages-also some disadvantages. In
culture it is the Hoosier Athens. In
capital and commerce the Hoosier
Rome. In municipal government
and politics 1t is still in the stone
age. Why should new business
enterprises locate here to be hec-
tored and harried by the municipal
rule of petty partisans?
The best industrial advertising
Indianapolis could undertake
would be to sweep the cobwebs out
of the city administration and
junk its archaic political machines
and creaking partisan factions.

Let's Follow Through

lTCOL MEYER, banker, with his suggestion
| - Of a $1,000000 fund to advertise Indian
apolis and to bring industries to the city has
started something that is well worth following
through This is one movement that should
get somewhere indianapolis has had great
deal of experience with movements that fail
to move very far outside of committee rooms
and newspaper publicity.
1t occurs to us that the best way to raise
such fund as Mr.. Meyer, suggests and to adj
minister such fund is through small group
of men in whom the public can place the ut
most confidence, who can work only toward
this particular end and who will not be known
as representatives of any particular organiza-
ton.
The Chamber of Commerce is greatly in
.terested in the Meyer proposal, and rightly so.
It should have it's part in raising such fund,
as should every citizen of Indianapolis. But
the job is not the kind of task that requires
big organization, such as the organization that
handles a community fund drive. The job of
raising and handling this fund must necessarily
be one of concentrated effort toward one single
end
It has been suggested that a small corpora
ton be formed and that this corporation have
for its sole purpose the administration of this
fund. The idea appears to be good one
Whoever handles this most important bust
ness, whether it be the Chamber Of Commerce
or some one else, should not make the mistake
of putting the task up to big unwieldy COM
mittee or to an elaborate organization.
It has been truthfully said that if you
don't want a thing done give the job to big
committee.

ARlST0CRATS
OF AM ERICA
BY GAYLORD NELSON.

EX-GOVERNOR McCRAY is
r reported to be writing a
III book in his spare time at
Atlanta. 1t deals with the posi-
bilities of a small tract, intensively
farmed, as a way to independence,
happiness and successful rearing
of a family.
"Aristocrats of America" is the
title he proposes for the book.
There is more truth than poetry
in that title. The small farmer
may be joke to the human weeds
that sprout and wilt in the glare
of the Great White Way. But
the small landholders are the back
bone of the country-a guarantee
of its present stability and it's
future hope.
Small, free cultivators of the
soil have contributed more to the
greatness of nations than any
other class. When the small
Roman farmer, passionately de-
voted to his little patch Of italian
soil, marched in the legions, Rome
conquered the world and was in
vincible. When that class was
wiped out by slave labor and the
rapacity of usurers, Rome decayed.
1t was the English farmer
the sturdy, free yeoman-whose
eloth-yard shaft wrecked the
Feudal chivalry of France at
Crecy, and carried England to
world dominion. Without the
peasant-proprietor cultivating his
microscopic farm France and Bel
GUM would have gone the way
of PRUSSIA and dissolved in red
anarchy after the World War.
One who Extensively cultivates
a small American farm won't
contribute much to the gayety of
night life. He won't get rich.
But his acres will yield a crop of
independence and character-of
lasting value to his family and
country.

USELESS RESEARCH CALLED
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL

THE understanding of nature
has always led to its control" says
DR.. Carrel. Pure science which
seeks knowledge in an absolutely
disinterested way becomes. almost
in spite of itself, the great power
of this world.
There is no other manner Of OBJ
tanning a thorough knowledge Of
nature and of mastering it,"
DEVELOPMENT of a new
D berry similar to the Logan
u berry has just been an
nounced by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
The new berry is called the
Young dewberry, because the
initial work in its development
was done by B. M. Young of
Louisiana.
The new berry is wine-colored
and darker than the Loganberry.
According to the Department Of
Agriculture it is sweeter than the
Loganberry and suitable for Gull
tivation in practically all parts OF
the Southern United States.

Hoffman, consulting statistician.
The study is being made at the

Patrick Of the army service and
with the cooperation Of both the
Army and the Navy.
Commercial as well, as military
flying will be studied, because

bers of citizens doing their travel

NPan-American policy. And we have steadfast-
-ly refused to let them do it
Ever since the first Pan-American confer
ence, way back in 1889, deep in the minds of
Latin American peoples has been the thought
that the Monroe Doctrine should be a Pan
American, rather than purely United States,
policy. And just as doggedly, at each succeed
ing conference, we have kept any such con-
versaton off the program.
Nevertheless at the 1923 Pan-American
conference at Santiago, Chile, the subject came
to the fore despite everything the United
States delegation could do to prevent it. The
Latin American delegates formed combine
and engineered it onto the floor where the
head of OUR delegation, Ambassador Fletcher,
told the amazed meeting that the Monroe Doc
trine is a unilateral-one-side d-doctrine for
which the United States must continue to be
the one responsible party.
Charles Evans Hughes was then Secre-
tary~of State and Ambassador Fletcher must
have had his instructions direA from him. In
deed Secretary Hughes later confirmed Am
bassador Fletcher in speeches made in this
country.
Prof. Blakeslee of course, is right Instead
of "persuading" the other American nations
to make our Monroe Doctrine also their own,
however, all we need to do is to allow them to
do so.
BY so doing we would not weaken our
position one iota. To the contrary. We would
still have every right, as now, to define, inter
pref and apply the doctrine, but new feeling
of neighborliness would spring up in this
hemisphere and most of Latin America s
suspicious, now leveled at us, would begin to
melt away.

r. FREQUENTLY, persons read
r ing of vague and obscure
E- complicated experiments be-
ing carried on by research work
ers on the frontier of science ask,
What's the sense Of that sort of
thing?"
This question is answered COM
pletely by DIR. Alexis Carrel of the
Rockefeller Institute, one Of the
worlds greatest surgeons,
DR.. Carrel believes that the great
advances in medicine of the future
will be made not in the hospital
clinics by medical men, but by re-
search workers carrying on pre-
cisely the sort Of experiments
which make the average man ask,
Whatever in the world is that
good for?"
Here is DIR. Carrel's reasoning:
:. The medical man, he says, must
be engag ed chiefly in an attempt
to make useful discoveries. This.
he believes, is in many ways a
handicap.
The worker in pure science is
bound by no such necessity. He
seeks merely an understanding Of
the truth.
Therefore the worker in pure
science can classify known facts
and discover additional facts,
finally arriving AT congratulations
which underlie the scattered maze
p of facts. From these he evolves
so-called laws of nature which en-
able him to predict and even re-
produce various phenomena.
When this stage has been
reached his pure science immedi-
ately becomes the most valuable
aid which the worker in applied
science can obtain.
