the barrel of rifles?
One method is to remove powder
'fouling first, by means of solution
of sal soda and then, having closed
one end of the barrel, introduce a
small amount of mercury. Close the
other end of the barrel and let the
mercury come in contact with all
parts Of the inner surface Of the

DAWES AND
HIS TRICK PIPE

l"1HE. No-Tobacco League of
America, through its Sec
- rotary, Charles NJ. Fillmore
of Indianapolis, Saturday sent a
telegram to Vice President Dawes
asking him to make New Years
resolution to refrain from smoking.
Ask Charles Dawes to discard
his trick pipei That's a dirty
dig, like suggesting to Samson
that he get a haircut.
Dawes is making a heroic fight
to keep from being submerged in
the obscurity of the Vice Presi7
dency. His chief ally is his UNDER
slung pipe that makes the head
lines and the rotogravure section
with pleasing regularity. Without
this bit of scenery he would look
like an ordinary Chicago banker.
A few weeks ago the Vice Presi-
dent and his pipe visited Indian
apolis. Together they attended .

CITY PARKS
IN WINTER

m. WALTER JARVIS, Indi-
TX apolis park superintendent.
~ says: Don't forget the city
parks in winter time"
Thousands Of grownups as well
as youngsters, he declares, are
finding the parks delightful under
their mantles of snow and ice.
Coasting, skating and the beauties
OF the winter landscapes make the
parks as attractive in winter as in
summer, and more exhilirating. He
urges more people to visit them
Probably all the time Walter
was uttering these fine sentiments
he was festooned around a steam
radiator watching with Mortified
eye the mercury, congealing in a
thermometer.
1t Is easy to talk about the joys
of the winter season--tinhng
sleighbells on clear, frosty nights,
pure white snow blanketing the
ugly face Of nature, red flannel
underwear, frost-bitten ears, chill
blains and other things that con-
tribute so much to the happiness
of the season.
But except for youngsters with
skates and sleds most If us would
rather read about winter than ex-
perience 1t. All we want Of winter
is for 1t to pass. 1t means a time
of high coal bills, frigid mornings,
frozen radiators and discomfort.
We would like to spend a winter
afternoon comnuning with Tom
and Jerry but to spend 1t COM
muning with nature in a city
park. Br-rr-ri

Mellon and His Tax
Bill

IT HE Indianapolis Times is presenting a
series of articles analysing the tax bill
which has passed the House and is now before
the United States Senate.
In these articles the case of Mr. Mellon,
Secretary of the Treasury principal author
of the tax bill, figures frequently How he,
personally, benefits by the bill is explained. A
contrast is made with his case and that of
comparatively small business men, as well as
persons of the smallest incomes
Andrew w. Mellon may save millions of
dollars of his own money through this new
tax BILL if it becomes law, but
The Times does not believe that personal
profit is the motive that moves him in this
case. We'd like to laake that clear.
Mr.. Mellon has been abused by some be-
cause prohibition enforcement, which comes
under his department, has not been satisfac-
tory. lnvidious references have been made
to his previous large financial interest in
whisky distilleries. We do not believe that
the money he made in this manner has in
fuenced his efforts to enforce the Volstead
act. We believe he is aa,honest public servant.
From all we've ever heard concerning Mr..
Mellon, we d trust him to handle honestly any
business matter we might put in his hands.
There has been criticism Of his conduct of the
debt settlements with foreign countries We
believe he gave the best of his ability to those
settlements as the agent Of the United States
We may think there is something wrong in an
arrangement whereby the mass Of Americans
who paid and are still paying the taxes that
made up the money loaned abroad, must pay
in full to the end while getting back only a
fraction of their money. We may see a De-
culiarity in the fact that, the debt thus eds
charged" to the American people, these for
eign countries are now encouraged. to borrow
from American bankers with the certainty
that the bankers-unlike the common taxpay-
ers-will get their money back with excellent
interest But in our opinion, Mellon made the
best Settlement he was capable of making and
he was honest in the matter.
So as to the present tax bill, with its glar-
ing inequalities. We think Mellon has endeav-
ored to do an honest job.
But we believe just as thoroughly that Mr..
Mellon, by the very nature of things, is in
capable of seeing the tax problem from the

1t is inevitable that he must see it from the
standpoint of $500,0OO,OOO, or whatever his
personal fortune is The problems of the man
of great wealth are the problems he has been
considering all his life; they are his daily wor-
ries; they are part of his very being.
Men there are who have been big enough
to overcome this handicap Of viewpoint. They
are rare and Mr. Mellon. unfortunately. does
not happen to be one Of them. At least, moth
ing in his public record has indicated that
he is

Wilson's Birthday

#T7ODAY there is for the first time general
! observance of the birthday Of Woodrow
Wilson. In Indianapolis, former Senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois will speak
1T banquet at the Claypool.
Observance of the day inevitably leads
again to the interesting question of Wilson 8
place in history. It is too soon for anybody
10 be sure. Rather, it is not too soon to be
sure Of his place in history, but it is too soon
Ito be sure of his place in the hearts of Ameri-
cans His place in history is assured, but we
have still to discover whether he will occupy
Ibis niche in the hall Of fame as hero or. mere
lily man who happened to be in high place
during stirring episode in human events
There are indications, however, that the
world is coming more and more to accept the
3Wilsonian theory of things. The League of Ma
ltions has shown itself, at least to some extent,
Ito be practical Sentiment in America is over
]whelmingly in favor Of entrance into the world
court and Americas actual participation in
world affairs in a role other than that of a
money lender is merely matter of time.
At least, political differences that painted
Woodrow Wilson on one hand as superman
land on the other as little more than a, crank,
kare dying out. Senator Lodge, the leader Of
1.-THE little group of willful men, )" is gone. The
senatorial aspect has changed. War hysteria
lis dying out. We are becoming calmer in our
/ Judgment. We are better able to see things in
their true light.
Some there are who place Wilson beside
Lincoln in the roll of the immortals. While
their Judgment may be wrong, this leads to
some interesting speculation Lincoln was as
sassinated few days after Lee surrendered
lat Appomattox. The North was in the midst
|of its celebration of the end of the war. The
death of Lincoln brought about such wave Of
national indignation as the country had never
known. Lincoln was shot; he was martyr.
The war had been won; Lincoln was a hero.
Would Lincoln have been hero if he had been
called upon to solve the problems of recon-
structionY Would he have been a national hero
If he had been faced with the difficulties that
caused Grant to leave the Whitehouse discred-
tied? Nobody knows.
Woodrow Wilson was at the height of his
power when he went to Washington carrying
with him his plans for bringing about universal
peace. Supposing he had been assassinated as
he rode through the street of Paris Would
bis place as an immortal have been assured?
Very likely. 1t is probable that Wilson lived
too long. He lived to be vilifed by political
opponents. He lived to see his peace program
crushed by his enemies in his own country
while it was being accepted by the rest of the
world. He did not live to see the reaction in
favor Of his plan, which is now so evident.
Tt remains to be seen whether this reaction
will elevate him to place among those whom
the people call great.
