Dog Runs Self to Death.

Henry Tuttell of Fort Laramie,

lead and as usual ran for some time
after it's strength was gone. Suddenly

Not So Wise

wv most of it is fiction. The criminal mind
is not the master mind F" Few criminals are
wise enough to elude the police, if the latter
make real attempt to catch them
Gerald Chapman, termed master crimi-

man. And now Martin Durkin, called the
shooting sheik, y and also termed master
criminal, " is in the hands of the law. He is
being held after eluding police for months, and
his capture is due to his own lack of caution
Two weeks ago he obtained marriage Ii

gress decides what to do with Muscle Shoals,
the American people will have demonstrated
their inability to take care of themselves.
The one hope of the people for cheap cleo
tril power in this country lies in demonstra-
ton that power can be manufactured and sold
on gigantic scale for from one to five cents a
kilowatt hour. Government operation of Mus
Gle Shoals will be that demonstration.
For five years the power interests have
schemed to inveigle the people into giving up
Muscle Shoals, and>i if they can control the up
per river that wish may be forced upon the
Government
1t is futile to believe that the private
power interests, givenno matter how many val
liable power sites, would ever demonstrate the
basic cheapness of power generation. For dec
AIDES they have had their opportunity They
are still charging from 7 to 20>cents kilowatt
hour for electricity which sells in Canada for
from z to 2 cents
If the American people want cheap cleo
tricity they will demand that the Government
retain control of the upper Tennessee River
until the full possibilities of the lower Tennes-
see River have been explored.

Time to Clean House

N7R. WILLIAM F. KING secretary of the
I'LL State board of health has been found
guilty by the board Of charges Of neglect Of
duty. This is not surprising as three Of the
four members of the board let it be known that
they thought King was guilty before he was
tried.
King will now appeal to the courts. Mean
while, he will remain as secretary of the board.
The question of Kings guilt or innocence is
now matter for the courts to decide. We do
not presume to express an opinion.
The fact Of principal interest to the people
of Indiana is that Dr. King and the board Of
health, presumably public servants, have by
their squabble brought to standstill much of
the work of the department of health. The
department. is an important and indispensable
part of the public service.
1t appears that the only solution Of the
difficulty would be the removal Of both the
board and DR.. King and the making of new
start in the health department. The State
would applaud such move if Governor Jack
son should succeed in accomplishing it, There,
should be some recourse in such situation.

Protecting Banks

m HE Indiana Bankers Association is dis
cussing establishment of State "clear-
ing house" for criminals With the general use
of the automobile, it is evident that with cities
or counties units it is particularly difficult
to trace criminals and bring them to time 1t
is only matter of minutes after bank rob-
berry until a criminal has left the county in
which the crime was committed and has at the
same time left local police jurisdiction.
Advocates of State police system CON
tend that their plan is the solution of this diff
Guilty. Indiana has State police force, but it
has jurisdiction only in traffic cases.
The difficulty with State police system,
as experienced by other States, lies in the fact
that in many cases it is not used for law en-
forcement,. but for the furthering of private
enterprise. State police department might
be good thing if there were some guarantee
that it would be used only for purposes of
law enforcement.

Shortridge

A NEW term is about to begin at Short
u ridge High School. Fifty pupils will
leave and 324 will enter. This will mean more
congestion in the school that is now operating
under almost impossible conditions
Every child of high school age in Indian
apolis is entitled to enter high school and to
attend classes in adequate and fully equipped
classrooms. This is impossible under present
conditions. indianapolis is neglecting its most
important duty-that of giving equal educa-
tional advantages to all the boys and girls of
the city during their formative years.
Meanwhile, erection Of new high school
building is being held up because of squabbles
over specifications and over the question of
who will do the building. indianapolis is not
particularly interested in who builds new
Shortridge High School. 1t is insistent. how
ever, that building be completed at the earl-
est possible date.

DRY FORCE
REDUCTION

IRIS HE Federal dry force, in the
district OF which Indiana is
CJ a part. is to be cut, accord
ing 10 orders from Washington.
As a result some of the agents
under A. r. HIrris. deputy adj
ministrator in Indiana, are marked
for decapitation.
The cut down" order applies
to the whole country. Expenses
of the dry forces are running
over the Sill 900, 900 annual ap-
preparation, and the department
maintained on the present scale
would cause huge deficit, it is
said.
Orders are orders. But the
sudden contraction of the prohi-
bition force, followed by an
equally sudden expansion when
more funds are available, certain
ly won't improve enforcement.
Enforcement will fiuctuate in step
with the bureaus daily balance.
Federal dry sleuths have re-
Gently staged elaborate mop-ups
in Evansville, Indianapolis, Ander-
son and other Hoosier cities. For
the moment these cities are more
or less dry. Cut down the Fed
eral force and the booze business
will blossom in them again. BY
the TIME more agents are avail
able another mop.up will be
needed.
Perhaps the prohibition problem
is utterly insoluble. Certainly It
can't be solved by periodic in
creases and decreases in the dry
force, alternate severity and lax
ity in enforcement.
So far attempts of Federal au-
thorities to enforce the dry law
are like a fire department that
half extinguishes a blaze one day
is laid off for n week and then is
re-hired to fight the same fire.
Such methods exhaust appropria-
tons successfully, but don't make
a dent on prohibition.
1t might be worth while for
Congress to appropriate enough to
maintain the country's dry forces
at maximum strength for two
years in uccession-stop daily
ing with halfway measures-and
prove once for all whether the
Eighteenth Amendment, as far as
Federal enforcement is concerned,
Is a joke or a law.

negatives are not so great as they
once may have been, but the con-
unental citizen still believes to a
certain extent in monarchy and con-
tlnues to look up to his kings, so it
may be that this decision of Prince
Carols required more courage than
an American who does not have the
royalty complex can imagine.
This prince has flung away his
traditions for personal freedom.

Text: "Wh0s0ever shall humble
himself as little child, the same is
greatest in the Kingdom of heaven"
Matt. 1874.
ESUS wanted to teach His
disciples the meaning of true
CA greatness. He called a little
child unto Him end set him in the
midst of them Int said, "Whosoever
shall humble himself as this little
child, the same is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven"
There are many respects in which
the truly great resemble the little
child. The child is natural. And no
man can be truly great who is not
natural. The world despises artificial
ism. The man who would be great
must be natural and genuine.
Children are naturally humble. 1t
is only when they have been spoiled
by foolish fiattery that they become
proud A truly great man is not
conscious Of his greatness. He is
never arrogant and naughty in his
bearing toward others. He Isl ever
as humble as a little child.
No one can look upon a child and
not be impressed with its de
pendence. 1t depends upon its
parents for everything So it is with
the man who is great in the kingdom
of heaven. There is in him a con.
sciousness Of perpetual dependence
upon God. The greater a man be-
comes, the \more this consciousness
masters him.
Crysostom, speaking of the child,
says, THE most striking thing
about child is its trust. You may
show him a queen with a crown,

but he will prefer his mother,
though she be-clothed in rags. 1t
can never see, anything wrong in
those 1t loves" Beautiful, sweet,
trustful confidence. This is one
characteristic of child life that
Jesus had in mind when He said. IF
you would be great in the kingdom
Of heaven, you must become like this
little child" Let trust and con-
fldence in God be the ruling principle
of your life.
Another characteristic of the child
is the instinct of obedience. Unless
a child has been spoiled In some way.
it is natural and easy for it to obey.
This same instructive readiness to
obey superior bidding is also mark
OF true greatness. A great man is
always ready to obey a superior
authority. He who would be great
in the kingdom OF heaven must ever
be ready to yield unquestioning
obedience to God.
One of the most attractive
characteristics of the child is it's I'M
selfishness. You may sometimes
see selfish children, but that is after
the selfish nature has been de-
veloped. The normal child shows a
natural concern for others. 1t is al
ways trying to do something for
somebody else. Jesus said to His
disciples, II you want to be great
in the kingdom Of heaven you must
be unselfish. The greatest place in
my kingdom comes not to the man
who is trying to get it, but to me
man who is most unselhshly trying
to do something for others.
