ASHINGTON, June pa
llN/l new hero Of Revolutionary
W. days, pronounced such by
none other than George Washington,
has just come to light through
documents presented to the Library
Of Congress by Berthon Parker
Harvey of Cork, Ireland.
The hero was Reuben Harvey.
merchant, and vice-consul for
Prussia, Sweden, Norway, Portugal,
Brazil and Mecklenburg Schwerin
at Cork. In the early days of the
Revolutionary War he befriended a
number of Americans held prisoners
by the British.
So George Washington, in 1888
wrote Harvey as follows: Your
early attachment to the cause of
this country, and your exertions re-
lieving the distresses Of such Of our
fellow-citizens as were so unfortun-
ate as to be prisoners in Ireland
claim the regard Of every American
and will always entitle you to my
particular esteem. l shall always

Washington then submitted a

The Riffs, we say just like that, and as
though they were natural enemies.
But is there no place in the sun for them,
no land they may call their own9
In one breath we are told that they are so
barbaric that some civilized country must con-
troll them, and in the next that they are so
proficient in the use of arms as to make it al
mighty hot for the most powerfully equipped
nation in Europe.
How can intelligence be so one-sided?
Apart from that, why are they beyond the
pale of that hun,anitarianism which we were
supposed to have downed Germany for the ex-
press purpose of dispensing to all mankind?

When it is over, what will France have

Why is she, and why are other nations in

lice CREAM
ISODAS
BY GAYLORD NELSON

n NJ. COOPER, druggist in
the little town Of Gosport
A' Qnd.), has achieved more
than local fame as a maker Of
chocolate ice cream sodas. Dusty
tourists know of him and pause
at his place for refreshment, then
stagger on singing the praises of
his sodas
Scattered about Indiana on the
principal tourist trails are many
other places widely and favorably
known for their ice cream sodas
and fountain drinks. Cars from
distant points and other States
parked before their doors attest
their popularity.
Not so many years ago the
thirsty wayfarers flocked to places
that advertised 1.-The largest glass
Of beer in the city for a nickel"
Now they flock to places with
regulations for excellent ice cream
sodas. Truly we have come a
long way on the drink question.
Probably prohibition is a failure.
It has not banished potent and
more or less potable alcoholic con-
coctions. Enforcement waves its
arms furiously, but limps badly.
A visit to court, where bootleg
gers, DRINKS, blind tigers and
moonshiners parade before the bar
of justice in amending procession,
gives the impression that the ma
ton is splasbing futilely in a sea
of liquor. But it is not so bad
as that.
The Volstead Act. the Indiana
bone-dry law. and similar measures
may. by their infringement of per-
sonal liberty, be the crimes of the
ages! Certainly they have fathered
lawlessness, corruption and crime.
Despite all the uproar, though,
public sentiment in this country is
not so wet.
Imagine a man in England, or
any European country. becoming
famous, even in his own neighbor-
hood, for the ice cream sodas he
dispenses to the thirsty. 1t couldn't
be done

LAW MUST BE
RESPECTED

Wv 7ALTER MYERS, Dem
|W ocratic nominee for mayor
I of Indianapolis, speaking
at the love feast of the Dem
ocratic Editorial Association at
Terre Haute the other night, de-
1ounced excessive legislation and
the multitude of laws command
ing neither obedience nor respect.
OF course he was talking as a
party man to his unterrified breth-
rem, nevertheless he said some
thing of more than partisan sig
nificance.
ITO be respected" he remarked,
"a law itself must be respectable
and reflect the substantial will of
a great majority willing to up
hold it. If an act generally re-
garded as harmless is made into
an offense overnight, are not the
makers of, the unsound law as
much to blame as the violators
Of it?'
In America nearly every phase
of human conduct, and every con-
tact between a citizen and his
neighbor is covered by statute.
AS result there is tremendous
disrespect for law Lawmaking
bodies try to cure the disrespect
by passing more laws. 1t is a vi
cious circle.
Society slowly evolves moral
standards and conceptions of
right and wrong that are gen.
Ell ally accepted. When these con-
ceptions are enacted into laws, the
statutes are respected. They have
the hacking OF public opinion.
Public opinion makes enforceable
laws, not laws public opinion.
If lawmaking bodies would fol-
low public opinion instead of try
ing dictate to it there would be
less silly legislation and more re-
spect for law.

The tour is scheduled to begin
early next season and under present
plans Indianapolis is included on
1.-THE tour.
The Wolfsohn Bureau makes the
following announcement;
''Adolph Bolm, one of the foremost
Russian dancers in the world, who
bhas just made one of the greatest
(, successes of his career in Stravin-
sky's ballet "Petruska" at the Metro
politan Opera House, will combine his
Ballet Intime with Thamar Karsa-
VIVA and her distinguished partner,
EPierre Vladimiroff. who made their
5first American tour this winter, to
tmake the greatest company Of Rus
sisn and American dancers which
has toured this country since the
kDiaghileff Ballet.
This company will include solo
dancers who are leaders in their art:
Adolph Bolm, Thamar Karsavina,
Pierre Vladimiroff and Ruth Page.

Why We Don't
Understand Taxes

ET7E hear about it everywhere-this prob
wv lem of taxation-some bitter, some hui
morous, but more in dazed sort of way
1t has become too complicated for the av-
erage man to understand, and right there lies
the difficulty.
We have built up machine for experts
to operate, and we are so afraid Of it that we
call in another group of experts to see whether
we are getting our just dues.
What we pay to run the various branches
of government has become stupendous item,
but what we pay one crowd of specialists to
assess and extract it, and another crowd to
see if the job is done properly, has become
vastly more irritating one.
We need visibility and simplicity
In the first place, we would like to know
exactly how much we are paying
In the next place, we would like to know
how much of that represents unnecessary over
head
The tax department-city State and Fed
eral-has become most impressive institution.
The crews Of specialists which citizens and
corporations feel obliged to employ in order to
protect themselves has become quite as expe1ls-
i've, even if not so impressive.
Taken by and large, enormous amount
Of money must be going for the mere privilege
of paying taxes, or for the sport of avoiding it.
One wonders if some of the scenery and
stage hands couldn't be dispensed with.
We hear very few people wishing the Gov
eminent did less, especially in ways that help
them or their business but we hear many COM
planning about the bother the Government puts
them to when it comes to paying taxes.
So many blanks to fill out so many ac-
counts to be kept so many q tons to be
answered, so many loopholes to W tch, SO many
rulings and decisions to check pp-the ordi-
nary citizen is really fabbergasted
And the gentle art of buck passing has
been stimulated rather than discouraged. The
man at The foot of the line, renter and ultimate
consumer, pays about as big share of the bill
as he ever did.
Visibility, simplicity-if they could be
worked into the scheme, we would have made
progress toward solving this problem

Shank is all aquiver over the

that is kinder fate than b5falls
most imposing mansions after re-
verses or death have overtaken

Park, was rejected as site for
the State blind school. Recently
the great Astor mansion in New

When a man acquires wealth he
builds a massive residence, or an
ornate country estate, He doesn't
need such a place for comfort or
convenience. But he feels that it
is a monument to his success. He
measures success by the number

Maybe having to work wouldn't

out Of it is wrong.
