The

VALVE
IL Blows When the Pressure IL
Too Great.
by The StOker-


Andrew Mellon is apparently about
to get his. Congress and the New
York World have started to debate
his tires. Also Lynn Haines. In
the latter's forthcoming book. Your
Servants in the Senate. etc, Haines
has chapter on Mellon as the
Master Mind" It is full OF
authoritative citation and bears evil
denee of thorough research. Among
other things Haines concludes:
There are three crucial facts,
then, which appear to be absolutely
beyond dispute:
First, that Mr.. Mellon holds the
office of Secretary Treasury In VIC
lation of law;
the outstanding worldwide exponent
Of modern industrialism. having
practieed every device that monop-
olies may employ for purely profit
purposes; and
Third. that his official positions
are such as to constitute a super
governmental influence which can
be utilized to advance his own enter
prises and those of the industrial
class to which he belongs, at the ex-
pense Of the public welfare"
1t is odd that Cal Coolidge should
be quoted with approval by Clar-
ence barrow. but so he is in the
Scopes appeal brief and we are glad
to note It even If Judd Welliver did
write the Omaha speech from which
the quotes are taken.

A Book to Read
By Mrs. walter Ferguson

IT HE American Bible Society
| / is TO distribute seven million
- Bibles in 1926.
WHAT boon to fretful humanity
If all could be read with intelligence.
The Bible, for every man, holds
hidden treasures and no heart, how.
ever cold, can read therein each day
without comfort and sustenance of
spirit.
Within its pages there Is In
tellectual food for all. The sweetest
romances, the greatest truths, the
most colossal dramas. the direst
tragedies. There is prose moro
moving and rhythmical than any
poem; language that is, Ike music,
and phrases that echo from the page
like perfect harmonies in words.
There may be found cynicisrn, re-
bellion, satire. complaint, philosophy,
mystery, prophecy, hope. There you
may lean how to live, how to love,
and how to die Take up your
neglected Bible and comprehend the
riches 1t brings to you.
No matter what your belief, YOU
cannot fail to sense the magnificent
simplicity Of those words which read:
And God said, let there be lght;''
you cannot fail to be moved by the
clear-cut tales OF the ancient He
brews and their Jealous tribal God:
you cannot fail to see that those ten
commandments Numbered down by
Moses to the wandering children Of
Israel are fit rules to govern any
life.
Scan, too, the story of the brave
Esther, more interesting and color
full than any modern novel; the tale
Of Ruth, sweetest of all the Jewish
legends; the stupendous outcries of
Job; the exquisite poetry OF the
Psalms; the most beautiful love ly-
rics OF any language; the Song Of
Solomon; the wailings OF Israel: the
doleful lamentations of jeremiah,
and that most wonderful book of
them all-Ezelziel
And how shall pen ntfingly de-
scribe the simplicity, the loneliness,
the utter perfection Of the four COS
pels, story Of Che noblest man who
ever trod the earth, whose short
thirty years Of existence have infiu-
enced all men and all events that
came after him, whose admonitions
breathe that love and forbearance
which we know Is never of this
earth, that divinest creature, Jesus
of Nazareth? Surely. for saint or
sinner. for credulous or doubling,
for illiterate or learned. His Book
Of Life is still the greatest biography
Of them all.

PUBLICITY AND
DISEASE

T|7IXTY-ONE cases Of small
ID pox were reported in In
- diana last week-according
to the State board OF health. Five
were in cities and hfty-six in the
rural sections of the State.
The newspaper carried the re-
port as any other item of news of
interest 70. and affecting, Hoosiers.
No one got excited.
But in Tampa, Fla. in which
city thirty-nine cases OF smallpox
are reported. city boosters and
luncheon clubs oppose any
publicity on the number of small
pox cases in the city and call up
on the newspapers to suppress
any news of the situation. 1t
might be bad for business, they
argue.
So the city health officer has to
resort to printed circulars to APP
prise people Of the facts and COM
bat further spread of the disease.
The smallpox situation in Tam
pa Is perhaps serious, but not
alarming. Naturally with popula-
ton increasing more rapidly than
sanitary facilities, and with an in
fiux of all sorts OF people from all
parts OF the country the city is
certain 60 experience an increase
IN communicable diseases.
The facts may frighten' a few
timid souls, who might otherwise
visit Tampa, but can't permanent
ly injure the development of the
city. Why should representative
city boosters object to their pub
LEGATION? In a threatened epidemic
wild, unsubstantlated rumors do
more harm than actual. authorita-
tive facts publicly given out. No
outbreak or disease was ever
successfully controlled by "shl
sh?' policy.

have a lot of sympathy for men
who cannot grin. They lose the fun
most people get by letting sunshine
in. Their facial lines, instead of up,
are always turning down. But this
would change if they would let a
smile replace their frown.
A hearty welcome always awaits
the man who's full of cheer. The
world at large will greet MIN cause
it's mighty glad he's here. He
spreads the sort Of spirit that can
make the world look bright. He
thinks a lough's a tonic and he al
ways finds he's right.
Come on, you sombre people who
are dun and sad Of face, produce a.
smile and knock the frown and sour
ness out of place You've only got to
try bit; it's soft to make the grade.

RAILROADING

CN7HIPPERS along the line of

owners in petition to the Inter
state Commerce Commissio.
For fifty years the Central In
diana Railroad. which strays loose
ly over the Hoosier landscape
from Muncie to Waveland juno
ton, has been operated at a loss.
1t has dragged dejectedly from
bankruptcy to bankruptcy.
Three years ago passenger serv-
ice was discontinued and the line
became exclusively a freight car

own businesses, for the sake OF
public convenience. T. they lost
money year after year? How would

WILD YOUNG
PEOPLE

E7ARIoN County Juvenile
I'M court officers were appealed
80 to Saturday by a 15-year-
old indianapolis girl for protection
against her father. She is afraid
to go home.
She ran away from home
couple of nights before because of
her fathers harshness. He will
not let her go with other young
folks or have dates" "He won't
even let me have an intimate girl
friend" she declared.
The father. when reporting his
daughters disappearance said she
had no intimate friends with
whom she might be staying. ~
don't allow her TO have dates or
go with the young folks to any
extent" he explained virtuously.
'"They are all too wild nowadays"
theoretically he is. perhaps
right. His strictness can be de
Tended on the ground that he has
his daughters welfare at heart
and desires to shelter her from a
rowdy world and pitfalls during
her inpressionable years. And
certainly some present day boys
and girls are wild, according to
rumors.
But practically he made a mess
Of It.
Repression instead OF turning
his daughter into a plaster saint
made her fly the coop Young
people naturally crave the friend
ship and companionship Of those
Of their own age. To deny them
such proper and natural associa-
tons is guaranteed to make the
tamest young people wild

Of Music yesterday afternoon the
impression that had come in con-
tact with a pianist who challenges
attention throughout her entire con-
Fcert.
1t was during the Chopin suite
that the artist seemed to command
that attention which reacts only to
great and powerful artistry.
We all seemed to have the feel
ing that during the playing OF
Chopin's Fantasy, r minor, Op. 40"
that a powerful plano was being
presented. 1t became so towering
in its pure musical strength I no
ticed that most members of the audi
ence were leaning forward to watch
the hands which created such power
