A WOman's Viewpoint

stilled into his nature a. lust for
gold.
He has civilized the Indian, but at
the expense Of the latter's ideals
which were, in the last analysis, In
trinsically superior to those of the
white man himself.
We have taken away from the
red man the Great Spirit whom he
worshipped in the forest and on the
plain, and have built him ugly little
churches where he sits in lukewarm
or cold immobility. We have taken
from him his Red God and made him
kneel to our White Messiah.
We have told him that our code Of
morals and the law OF our God is
built upon love for our neighbor, and
yet all Of our dealings with him
from the days Of Jamestown have
been one long record of craft over
credulity. of cunning over implicit
trust. The Indian has been tricked
and browbeaten more than he has
been uplifted and helped. We have
taken a race rich in ideals, in honor,
in bravery, and snatched from 1t a
home and a heritage.
The first Americans were a great
people, and it is pity that instead
Of trying to teach them so many
things we did not sit for while at
their feet and learn.

Pat Page Resigns

Troops at Evansville

mi EARLY a week has passed since State
~ troops were sent to Evansville. Nothing
has happened. So far as the public knows, there
was no indication that anything was going to
happen. No explanation of why the troops
were sent has been made. The Governor has
not seen fit to take the people Of Indiana into
his confidence
The nonunion mines that the troops are
supposed to be ready to guard are working
when they have orders to justify it. Even the
State representative who owns some of the
mines is working in perfect peace.
There are only a few National Guardsmen
in Evansville, it is true-not enough to do any
particular good should there be disturbance,
which there won't. But these few are too
many. A war-like gesture was not justified
even though member of the Legislature was
interested.

Drinking for Evidence

the place of the defendant against whom ne
was appearing. He also testified he VISITED sew
eral other places the same day and consumed
booze in like manner-for evidence.
private citizen in Indiana thus spending
the day in taking aboard an exhilaratlng cargo
would find himself in the hoosegow with the
Wright bone dry law wrapped around his neck.
But a Federal agent can Stake his thirst with
out limit unmolested He does it, ostensibly,
in the line Of duty.
What is the moral distinction between
private citizen drinking for pleasure and pro-
hibition officer swallowing numerous slugs OF
|twhite mule" in the course of the day to pro-
cure evidence?
The reason for the ban on liquor is the
we'll known devastating effect of alcohol on the
human system and brain. The alcohol swal-
lowed by the rum seuth and the private citizen
affects the internal economy Of each in the
same manner. The Federal agent, after hard
day of collecting evidence, is as likely to reach
dangerous state Of intoxcation as any other
man who drinks.
Perhaps such ''buys" by undercover
agents are necessary in prohibition enforce
ment But in the employment of such meth
DDS the cure is about as bad as the disease.
Drinking is morally wrong, declare dry cru
saders How then does pinning badge on a
man and calling him prohibition agent, make
his drinking all right?

TTlHE city OF Indianapolis is

~ Corporation Counsel Alvah
J. Rucker points out in a report
to the city controller. To take
care of between s150,0oO and 5000
600 in unpaid bills inherited by
the present administration from
its predecessors he suggests a
bond issue.
Two months ago-less than a
month after half the city tax
poured into the treasury-when
the present administration took
office, it found the municipal finan-
cial cupboard bare. One of It's
first acts was to borrow money 10
pay current salaries and running
expenses.
That was the customary condi-
ton. The city treasury suffers
chronic debilitation. Every admin.
istration leaves heritage OF debt
for its heirs, because city expendi-
lures gallop along six months
ahead OF receipts.
The semi-annual tax receipts go
to pay the city's expenses for the
preceding six months instead Of

AFTER THE
BREAD TRUST

~ REPRESENTATIVES Of the
Tx indianapolis Housewives
League and other women's
civic organization met Friday to
discuss the great merger recently
announced OF national baking con-
Germs and consider plans for COM
batting what threatens to become a
national bread trust.
The ladies' are quite properly
alarmed at the prospect of the
control and distribution of the
most vital foodstuff by a single
huge combine. The merger also
agitates Congress, professors. ed
tors and publicists. 1t seems a
distinct menace.
Every family in the United
States is dependent on bread, and
in most part on the product OF
commercial baking establishments.
And monopoly juggling that af-
fects the distribution or increases
the price of bread hits every
family right between the teeth.
But vocal protests Of Indignant
women, Congressional investiga-
lions. antitrust cults and all the
hullabaloo over the proposed
merger aren't likely to keep the
great baking companies apart II
they are determined to merge.
They will accomplish one way
what they are forbidden to do an.
other.
The only weapon that will posi-
lively STAY a baking combine be-
You'd possibility Of resurrection
women already possess-their two
hands. They can go into the
kitchen and beat any bread trust
to dough by rolling their own"

Text: For j am not ashamed Of
the Gospel; for it is the power of
God unto salvation" Romans 1:16.
GUA HEN Paul says that the
.IWI gospel IS the power Of God
w unto salvation, he means sal
Walton from sin, salvation to holi-
ness and righteousness and life. The
cause of the unhappiness and social
injustice under which men groan
is due, in the last analysis, not to
the form of government under
which they live, but to that hard,
universal and ugly fact of sin. 1t
is because sin has entered into the
world and brought in its train q
host of other evils. Therefore, any
scheme of redemption for man
which does not go to the root Of the
trouble and eradicate that old cancer
of sin and regenerate the human
soul from within. is inadequate and

Ourselves and the Indians
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson


ri HERE is more truth than
oratory in the complaint re-
- Gently voiced by Edward
Rogers, descendant Of the famous
Chippewa tribe and now noted
lawyer of Minnesota, when he says
that while the United States opens
her opportunities to every nation
and welcomes millions from other
lands, her own red men she still
treats as savage children. Whether
Mr.. Rogers criticism Of the Indian
Bureau at Washington is deserved
is another question, but ait any rate
there is a world of pathos about the
remnant Of the red man.
Not many years ago the Indian
looked upon the land and called it
his.
He roamed in happy freedom from
the banks of the Potomac to the
mouth of the Golden Gate, from the
plains of the Dakotas to the swamps
of Florida, and in his native state
he was ever a romantic figure.
And he has been inestimably hurt
by the white man, not alone in the
loss of his possessions, but by the
grating into his life of habits
foreign to his nature and ideals,
In our efforts to civilize him, we
have done him much more harm
than good, inasmuch as our interpre-
tation Of the word meant that we
felt we must make him over in our
own image, which Is not always a
beautiful one.
The white man has provided the
Indian with houses and automobiles,
but he has also taught him to lie
and cheat and steal; he has in
structed him in the arts Of reading
Ind of agriculture, but he has also
bought 10 him bad whisky and in.

IT HE great French victory at Verdun was
wasted and the 100000 Frenchmen who
died there gave their lives in vain, French
war veterans were told by Nationalist speak
ers at their services celebrating the tenth ami
versary of the battle.
According to a Paris dispatch, the assem-
bled ex-service men heard speeches in which
gloomy picture was painted of the future. One
man cried:
THE enemy conquered has accom-
plished his revenge. He has neither paid nor
disarmed. -. He is getting ready for a
complete rehabilitation. Veterans of Verdun
what has become of the victory you WONT"
And there was more in the same strain.
The battle Of Verdun was the most terrible
struggle ever fought in the worlds history
You remember the account of it. how the Ger
mans dropped four million shells on the French
lines in one day, and then poured regiment
after regiment of their finest troops into the
breach in desperate effort to break through;
fighting back every onslaught at terrific cost,
holding the line and saving Verdun and the
war for France. It is a wonderful, terrible
story.
1t is easy to understand why the men who
went through this battle are apt to grow
alarmed # they think the fruits Of victory are
to be lost. The price paid was SO enormous
that it would be unthinkable to let it be wasted.
D. - 1. i L IL.
fruits Of this victory really were; and it is on
this point, we believe, that the French veterans
were mistaken.
The 100000 Frenchmen who died at Yer
dun did not die to make another nation Grip
pie, to reduce whole people to servitude.
They died, as did the gray-clad soldiers who at
tackled them, to bring little bit nearer to
place where another battle such as the one they
fought could never happen again; to knit the
nations little closer with the bonds of peace,
so that the tragedy of Verdun could not be
repeated They died in order that their sons
and the sons of men still unborn would never
have to face shell fire and machine guns and
bayonets.
And is this consummation nearer or far
Their away than it was before the battle7
1t is nearer-nearer despite surface condi-
tions to the contrary.
Out of the terrible destruction of the war
there has come, painfully and haltingly
growing conviction in the hearts of men that it
must never happen again; conviction that we
must and will avert wars at almost any cost
a desire to remake the world so that future gen.
erations will be spared repetition Of what
took place between 1914 and 1913.
It looks discouraging, at times. But il is
sure.
SO long as we do not let the lesson of the
war go UNDECIDED no single soldier who gave his
life over there, whether French or German or
British or American, died in vain. If we accept
the opportunity, see the vision clearly and act
with unselfshness and decision, then Verdun
was more than a victory for the French army
it was victory for the entire world, German
and French included And the fruit will not
be lost.
