To the Editor of The Times:

NJ OUR editorial Of July Is, on
an article. by James O'Don-
- nell Bennett, in this weeks
Liberty magazine published by the
very wet Chicago Tribune Company,
entitled 1.-THE Kingdom of Yewksnt."
contains a number of statements
and quotations, which it seems to
me do not square with either the
letter or spirit OF our institutions.
You, and the magazine article in
question, complain very bitterly Of
the provisions and usage Of the
Wright Dry Law passed blythe last
Legislature and hold the same as
utterly at variance with the Fourth
Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution from which you quote
Provisions Unchanged
Permit me to say that the search
and seizure provisions of the Wright
law are just the same as those in
the 1917 State dry law; and that
these provisions IN the 1917 act were
tiger law, and that all three Of these
acts followed the exact methods for
both the obtaining and use of search
and seizure warrants as those which
had hitherto existed in all other In
diana laws, such as searches for:
The recovery Of stolen or bur-
glarized property. The seizure and
destruction Of nets and seines used
in unlawful fishing. Gambling
games and gambling parapherna-
liza. Forged, or counterfeit coins,
and dies for the same. Lewd and
obscene books, pamphlets, pictures,
etc. Animals treated inhumanely,
baited, or used as targets. Dead
human bodies secreted on prem
Uses. Trade marks belonging to
others.
Besides the above state search and
seizure laws agents Of the Federal
Government will search private
property for goods which have been
smuggled into our country to evade
paying the duty. Such agents win
search a passengers baggage when
crossing the border into the United
States without even a search war
rant. Further, they will stop auto
mobiles coming into this country to
search for goods not paying the
duty. And we hear no loud "hulla-
baloos" against any such searches
and seizures.
Defends Law
Why this outcry, then, against
search and seizure in carrying out
the spirit and letter CT the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States? Is any
one who is not law breaker harmed
by such a law which differs in no
respect from search and seizure acts
in other laws which are not even

A New System Of
Education

~ NEW theory Of public school education
IAI has come into being over night IN In
diana. It has resulted from penetration OF the
Tennessee evolution controversy into INDIANA
It was too much to expect that the Hoosler
State would not be involved in the argument
The new theory is this:
The township trustee is sole judge of what
shall be taught in the public schools under his
jurisdiction.
A township trustee, as all of us know, is
gentleman who succeeds in getting more votes
than his opponents who are seeking the same
Office No educational qualifications are pro-
vided in the law.
A young high school teacher in Perry
County objected in letter to the Hon. Dr.
Henry Noble Sherwood, who is State superln-
tendent of public instruction by virtue OF hav-
ing received more votes than his opponent
that trustee had discharged him (the teach
cry because he had expounded the theory OF
evolution.
DR. Sherwood says there is nothing he can
do about it. He says that under the Indiana
law trustee can dismiss teachers as he pleases.
Inc JodCnof VINO udhcS Cuc CO1APlolAAU
points out that he taught evolution from a
book that until 1923 was authorized high
school textbook and that even now is pre-
scribed for supplemental reading by pupils
The book referred to not only contains
-four pages about evolution, the origin OF spe-
ces, and survival of the fttest, but it also con-
tains a picture of Charles Darwin
On top of this situation, the trustees of
Blackford County announce that they will dis
charge any teacher found teaching the theory
Of evolution.
Indiana does not need law barring teach
ing Of evolution, such that passed in Ten
nessee. The trustees are law unto themselves.
One trustee not only has banned evolution,
but he has bought Bibles for all Of his schools
and has ordered that teachers read the first
chapter Of Genesis on the first day of school.
Every high school pupil most certainly
should know the first chapter of Genesis, and
all the rest Of the Bible for that matter. But,
under the ruling of trustees they are not to
be permitted to know that scientists have spec
ulated on the origin of man and evolution of
plants and animals
Just imagine what would happen should
any one chance to mention Luther Burbank in
Blackford County schoolroom, or if pupil
should dare to bring to school in his lunch
basket seedless orange!
Here is the way one of the learned trustees
of Blackford County sums up the theory of ev-
olution
There's nothing to it,, 1t all bosh If
there is any evolution, why hash It man evolved
to a higher grade of animal than he is now?
There ought to be no stopping point. I don
believe in evolution and I would certainly dis
charge any teacher who used the theory in
the classroom"
We wonder how this particular trustee
gets along with the agricultural agent of his

For the 10 years ending 1877 West

the number Of men killed IN Illinois n
proportion to tons mined.

City Debts Steadily Rise.
Borrowings Per Capita
Have Make Big Jump

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, u, c., June 30.--Lik'
city expenses tffff debts OF America,
cities show a steady increase.
According to the results of sufVe,
by the United States Census Bureau
the average Indebtedness OF cities OF a
population Of 10000 or more averaged
in 1923 $l03.34 for each inhabitant
In 1913 the average debt of the same
cities was S69.2S per capita.
The figures given are for net IN
debtedness; that Is. the funded aud
floating debt less sinking fund assets.
In 1913 the per capita debt OF cities
of 10000 or more population was
S69.2S. Each new survey taken by tile
Census Bureau since that time has
shown an increase, although new bor-
rowing was at a minimum between
1917 and 1919 when cities refrained
from floating bonds TO make way for
the national war loans. Between 1919
and 1922, however, there was an IN
crease from SSl.1S per capita to S9fo4
per capita.
City bonds are tax exempt from
State as we'll as federal taxation. The
growth i'm city indebtedness, there.
fore, has served 10 increase the
amount of taX-eXempt securities out
standing. The increase In these secun-
ties present taxation problem to the
treasury and to Congress f0f which
no solution has been found as yet.

Apprentice Printers Or
ganize Junior Typo
graphical Unions
By International Labor News Service.

By international Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind, June 30.-JunioI
typographical unions are being formed
in many cities of the United States,
giving increased dignity to the print
ing office devil" as the Bureau of
Education of the International Typo
graphical Union expresses it.
The union, of course, is for appren-
tice printers, and fellow workmen and
employers in general are joining in
the spirit of the movement to give
apprentice printers higher sense of
their Importance to the trade.
The International Union gave au-
thority for the formation of such local
unions at the convention last year.
Since that time the movement has
gained considerable volume. There
are several cities in which the junior
unoin has passed the experimental
stage, including Hartford and New
Haven, Conn; Portland, Me-; Boston
Scranton, Pa; Detroit, Philadelphia
and Rochester.
John II. Chambers, director of the
|. Il. U. education bureau, says that
employers and union officials are
afforded an opportunity to impress
upon these journeymen of the future
the fine traditions of the craft, and to
coach them in their application to their
work.
President Lynch voiced his faith
in the junior union by saying that il
is Splendid evidence of enlightened
unionism when our members give sc

COal-Made Steam
Future Power Supply
Says Federal Report

Power requirements of the Central
West can never be met by water
power, according I'd a survey made by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
Coal-made steam, by conversion into
electricity, must furnish transporta-
ton and turn the wheels of industry.
The survey shows that water power
in the United States now develops TO-
100000 horsepower and that there are
$4,000, 900 horsepower undeveloped.
OF the latter only 100000 horse
power is in states east of the Rocky
Mountains, where 90 per cent of the
people live. This is about one-ffth
of their power requirements.
However, through engineering I'M
provements, steam-made power 's
meeting requirements without wasting
natural resources. During the last ~
years the amount of coal required to
produce a kilowatt hour of electricity
has been reduced from II pounds to
approximately pounds in the larger
generating stations.
