IRRITATING
LITTLE JOBS

-, WOULD rather do
II washing every day than
i patch one pair of over
alls," vehemently exclaimed one
farmers wife at a session of the
Farm Women's Schools held in
connection with the National
Dairy Exposition now in progress
in Indianapolis.
Other women present gave darn
ing socks, making beds and dust
ing as their pet diversions. All
agreed it wasn't the big household
tasks but the small irritating jobs
that got on their nerves.
They are no different than the
common run of folks in that re-
spect.
Most any man can storm a
trench, commit murder. or at
tack any of the larger affairs of
life with enthusiasm under the
proper incentive. But he hates
the drudgery or detail ana the
small, necessary tasks. He would
rather go out and slay a mess of
dragons for dinner than hang a
picture or shake down the furnace.
But unfortunately the ordinary
human being can't make life just
a succession OF big jobs; the irri-
tating little tasks are bound to
creep in. Even George Washing
ton couldn't devote all his time to
being father of his country. He
had to stop occasionally to wash
his face and his socks had to be
darned like those of other mortals.
Maybe even beyond the grave
people won't escape the irritating
little tasks. They may have to
polish up their halos. brush their
wings, and keep their harps in
tune. So all they can do about
the irritating little jobs is to grin
and bear them.

a good administration. Following his term In
Office Mr.. Ralston retired to the practice of

But in 1922 his party needed candidate
for the United States Senate who could wip.
It naturally chose Raston as the man. For
weeks he declined to be a candidate and not
until almost the last minute, when he thought
no other candidate would enter, did he consent
to make the race Another candidate entered
however, and Ralston said that if he had

been candidate. In the election he defeated
the brilliant Albert j. Beveridge and went to
the Senate.
Then came the Democratic national con-

Personal friends, business asso-
ciates and political acquaintances
today paid tribute to the late SEN
ator Samuel M Ralston.
THMOAS TAGGART, one Of the
best-known Democratic leaders in the
country, who had ben a close friend
of Senator Ralston for years, said
In the death of Senator Ralston
the State of Indiana and the Ma
ton have lost one of its greatest
men. Senator Ralston was not only
great statesman, but was also a
great lawyer. He was a Christian
whose heart was full of love for his
fellow man. and he was loved by
all who knew him.
Senator Ralston was a man of
great courage and did not hesitate
to express his honest convictions. In
the passing of Senator Ralston, 1
have lost one of my dearest friends.
SENATOR JAMES f. WATSON
Samuel NJ. Ralston was an honest
man and a noble citizen. Since pity
was the guiding principle of his life,
in all. of his acts, both public and
private, he was controlled by the ut
most good faith. He always believed
what he said and said what he be-
lieved. In private life he was faith
full and true.
He was a good Governor and his
short service in the Senate gave
promise of exalted service in that
body. He was an upright official and
a faithful public servant. Those of
us who have been associated with
him justly mourn his untimely de-
parture from among us.
GOVERNOR ED JACKSON-In
the passing of Senator Ralston our
State and Nation has suffered a very
great loss. He led an active life, a
large part of it in a public way. To
all the duties of life he has adj
dressed himself in an energetic, ca
pable and sincere manner. He made
great record as Governor of the
State of Indiana and will be remem-
bered\as one of the great Governors
of our State. He has also made a
splendid record throughout his serv-
ice in the Senate. He has always
been held in the highest esteem by
his associates, and these with whom
he came in contact.

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
| THE JOYS OF
BANKRUPTCY
BY GAYLORD NELSON.

1~iHE Retailers National
| Council. meeting in Indian
- apolis Tuesday, complained
of the misuse of the bankruptcy
law by small debtors. They would
restrict the joys of legal insolven-
cy to those whose debts are $500
or more.
Legal absolution for liabilities
incurred beyond the debtors abil-
ity to pay is a comparatively mod
ern invention. In Old Roman days
the unfortunate insolvent was at
the mercy Of his creditor. who
could seize his goods. chattels,
wives and children and hold them
in slavery. An unextinguished
debt descended from father to son.
Even in presumably enlightened
England Imprisonment for debt
was common until less than 100
years ago. Many of England's
brightest literary stars fiickered
in the debtors prison.
l t is doubtful if Imprisonment,
slavery or similar harsh measures
imposed any higher standard Of
commercial honesty than prevails
today when any debtor can take a
bankruptcy bath and start life
again pure ard clean.
1t is very annoying, of course,
for a trusting creditor to have a
small debtor-a working man or a
farmer-bust right in his face
with a few hundred dollars liza
bilities and no assets except a
strong back. But there is no eth
ical distinction between such a
small debtor than one who is a
million dollars in the red. The
only difference is size.
In either case it is a fruitless
task to try to get blood out Of a
turnip.
Why not continue to treat all in
solvent debtors alike? If a Gov
ernor of Indiana, with liabilities
amounting to millions above his
visible assets, can be released
from his financial obligations by
the bankruptcy law, why shouldn't
a day laborer, who owes more
than he can pay, have the same
privilege? Inability to pay. not
the size of the debt, is the deter
mining factor in bankruptcy.

Secretary Weeks
Resignation

TT1HE resignation of Secretary of War
l Weeks from President Coolidge's cabi-
net, long expected though it was, will be keen
ly felt in the Army.
Not that anything demanding genius arose
during his term in office, but the Army always
felt it had in him a friend who would go the
limit in it's behalf. And he did.
Just as happens after every war, wave
of economy at-any- price struck Congress lead
ing to the demand in certain quarters that the
Army be greatly reduced and that less and less
money be spent on it's upkeep. Secretary
Weeks bitterly fought this plan whenever it
cut in so closely as to threaten, in his opinion,
the national defense.
Too i'll to sit at his desk at the War De-
partment in Washington, he even found the
strength to 60 to Swampscott, where the Presi-
dent summered, to plead the cause of the Army
and the national defense against any too dras-
tic cuts in appropriations.
Secretary Weeks resignation will affect
the Army largely on sentimental grounds for,
since he was stricken months ago. his going
has been considered merely matter of time.
In Weeks absence from Washington.
Dwight F. Davis of Missouri had been acting
Secretary of War. He has now been raised to
cabinet rank. He should be able to carry on
successfully. In fact, as acting Secretary of
War he was largely instrumental in having
President Coolidge appoint the special board
now investigating the aircraft row raised bv
Colonel Mitchell.
Mostly since Secretary Weeks illness the
armed service of the country has been pretty
badly shot to pieces by internal rows and diff
ferences of opinion
In restoring harmony and efficiency in his
own organization at least, the new Secretary
of War may well find his first job already cut
out for him.

LOW RENTS IN
INDIANAPOLIS

Cr1LOOR space suitable for
small industries and light
- manufacturing is offered at
lower rental in Indianapolis than
in st. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh
or fifteen other cities of the East
and Middle West, according to a
recent survey conducted by the
Trenton IN. j. Chamber of Com
merce.
That ought to attract new in
dustries to the city, and interest
manufacturers located elsewhere
and harassed by their overhead.
Rent is an important item to be
taken into consideration in the
establishment of a business enter
prise. If King Solomon's mines
were located on lower Broadway,
New York, or in the business Sec
ton of Miami, Florida, they
couldn't be operated at a profit.
The rent they would have to pay
for the space occupied would be
prohibitive.
Consequently small industries
and light manufacturing enter
prises are stunning cities with
exorbitant rent. They are seeking
locations where they can work for
themselves as well as their land
lords and at the same time enjoy
good labor conditions and proper
distribution facilities.
There is the cue for Indianapolis
to step forward and claim them. 1t
has what they are seeking-central
location, excellent labor conditions,
unexcelled distribution facilities,
and low rents.
Still Indianapolis is not al
together a paradise for rent pay
ers. Rentals for certain classes
Of property may be low, but
modern apartments and dwellings

tenants for a song. Rent day to

What the city gains in low, in
dustrial rents is more than offset
by high domestic rents.

JOHN L. DUVALL, Republican

straightforward as Senator Ralston
to fill the senatorship.
MAYOR SHANK never knew
a man closer to the people. l knew
Senator Ralston twenty years. He
was kind and courteous to all. In

His loss is a severe blow to the
people of Indiana.
JAMES M. OGDEN, city corpora
ton counsel-When / started the
practice of law, Senator Ralston
was kind to me and gave me valu-
able counsel. He was especially
brilliant on Cross-examination. In
politics, Senator Ralston believed
the same principals of squareness
and justice as in private life should
prevail.
JOSEPH l.. HOGUE. city con-
troller-We of the Republicans
party loved Senator Ralston for his
honesty and sincerity and knew
him as a most honorable opponent.
His sympathy with his fellow man
was especially characteristic of this
