III ing the other day. 1t was
more than dedication. There
is no DEATH" sang the soloist at
the ceremony. And she sang
truly, for the occasion proclaimed
the rebirth Of the little Hoosier
community destroyed by the tor
nado last spring.
Without warning the wind came
and Griffin vanished. Every
building in the town was torn
asunder and strewn in splinters
over the countryside. Homes and
families were wiped out. Where
moment before was placid,
comfortable village there was
death and desolation.
Hardly had the wreckage sub
sided before the Red Cross, public
and private agencies were hurry
ing to the scene with blankets,
food, doctors, nurses, medicine and
help Of every description.
The suddenness and complete
ness Of the disaster was only ex-
ceeded by the promptness and
scope of the relief measures. The
dead were buried. the injured
nursed back to strength, the home
less sheltered, the hungry fed.
Hearts and purses not only in In
diana but throughout the country
responded to the appeal.
Because Of such help Griffin is
rebuilt.
There is really no economic or
geographic reason for the towns
existence. But it stands today a
testimonial of the tenacity with
which folks cling to the spot they
call home-and proof that the
American is at his best in the role
Good Samaritan.

A Courageous Speech

ri T took real courage for President Cool
/ idge to make his Omaha speech on toler
ance Tuesday. The most significant common
tary on the present state of mind of the popu-
lation is the fact that it did take courage for
the President to make the speech. For he did
nothing more than repeat old-fashioned Amer
lean ideals Of liberty. 1t is significant that
when these ideals are voiced even by Presi-
dent they have the sound of strange and radi-
cal utterances
This newspaper has disagreed frequently
with President Coolidge, but in the instance
Of his Omaha speech, so far, at least, as it con-
cerned the subject Of American liberty, we
heartily agree with him. If this country had
more public men with the courage to speak
such convictions, as Coolidge has done and
Charles Evans Hughes did few weeks ago,
it would be better country in which to live.
Such statements from leaders like Coolidge
and Hughes are an indication of turn toward
a more enlightened public opinion and a re-
turn to normalcy and straight thinking.
This country was founded on liberalism.
Tolerance has made possible the success of the
republican experiment which, has given Amer
lea world leadership. Nations have fallen
when public opinion has been as the President
put it, fossized. There must be freedom of
thought. Without such freedom progress is
impossible. Development is possible only
through the clash of ideas.
The founders of the republic knew this.
Their action in writing into the basic law of
the land provisions for safeguarding freedom
of thought and freedom Of religion was not
idle 1t had deep purpose, purpose as i'm
portant as the founding Of the Nation itself.
They knew that boiler without a safety valve
is dangerous and that sooner or later it will
blow up.
There is marked tendency now to sit on
the safety valve There is feeling that steam
blown off into the atmosphere is dangerous.
There is lack of realization that the ability
to blow off steam is the very thing that makes
for safety.
This country was founded by men and
women who came here to escape intolerance.
They came here because they had not been per-
mtted to think their own thoughts, speak their
own minds and live their own lives. They
II ne here to escape state church and a reg
ulation of their private lives by the state We
must not 60 back to a state religion or to reg
ulation of thought and of personal liberty. If
we do, the very purpose Of the republic has
been defeated.
We must not permit our vision to become
narrow. We must be able to see beyond our
own State, our own church and even our own
country. We must make ourselves realize the
possibility that the other fellow can be right.
We must make ourselves realize that man

Mr.. Lynch is n winter visitor to

the Spanish-American war. His regi-

sent to Tampa for training.
Camped near his outfit at Tampa

commanded by Colonel Leonard Wood,
with Lieutenant Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt second in command. Mr..
Lynch declares that the most pic

popular officer in camp. was Colonel
Roosevelt. His popularity among the
men was largely due to his extreme
democracy and complete lack of what

$731,600 Loot Given Back,
Thieves Unable to

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-R-Ex-

low the mysterious return Of jewels
valued at $731 600, which were stolen
from the hotel bedroom of Mrs. James
+. Donahue, daughter of the late f..
W. Woolworth, was entertained by
police officials today.
The thieves found it impossible 10
dispose of the jewels, because of their
value, said an anonymous letter re-
ceived by detective agency last week
and volunteered to return them if
promised immunity and given re-
ward of $4,000 which had been of
fered. Police refused to treat with
the thieves, but yesterday a private
detective employed by the company
which insured the gems. walked INTO
police headquarters with the jewels
wrapped in brown paper.
BEAD BAG MISSING.
Only one item was missing. beaI
bag worth 500. The jewelry re-
turned included two pearl necklaces,
one valued at $3.50, 600, and the other
at $250,00O, diamond ring worth
100000, two rings worth 5000 each,
a gold vanity case worth 5000 and an
imitation emerald ring, described as
of trifling value.
The detective refused to tell any
one but Assistant District Attorney
James T.. Pecorn how he obtained the
formation secret. Despite the lack If
even description Of the thief or
thieves, police authorities announced
that police detectives, working indie
pendently, were hot on the trail.
POLICE HOLD GEMS.
The returned gems were kept 1t
police headquarters pending develop
ments.
Officials refused to say whether
Mr.. Donahue had paid anything
through the detective to get the jewels
back.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donahue have a six
room suite at the Hotel Plaza. She
was in the bath tub when the jewels
were stolen, September so. from the
dressing table in her bedroom. A maid
and a masseuse were in the apart
ment at the time. One theory was
that the key might have been left in
the door, and a passing sneak thief
saw it, entered and picked up what
ever was handy. Another suggcs
ton was that the thief was a judge
of gems. as some imitation pearls
we're not taken. There was also a
theory that an international thief
had seen the gems on Mrs. DOnahuc
at Monte Carlo and followed her
across the ocean recently.
