you can't accept them, but when It

A GRAVE CHARGE

grave charge against the Attorney General Of
the United States is contained in the statement is
sued by Commissioners Thompson and Nugent of the
Federal trade commission
April g. this year, Attorney General Sargent
asked the Federal court in Baltimore to dismiss the
Governments antitrust suit against the Continental
Baking Corporation. He based his request on the
alleged fact that the Federal trade commission was
also engaged in investigation of the Continental
company.
But the Federal trade commission had officially
dropped it's against the Continental corporation
the day previous. And Sargent knew it.
According to Commissioners Thompson and MI
gent special messenger from the trade commission
had taken this news to Sargent April 2. Not only
that, but Sargent himself had participated in con-
ference at which had been agreed that the Federal
trade commission was to drop its case That is to
say that he knew it was to be done and he was in
formed by special messenger that it had been DONE
The next day he asked the court at Baltimore to
drop his case against the corporation OH the
ground that the Federal trade commission case was
still under way.
Without going into sargents possible reasons
for wanting to protect the so-called bread trust,
there certain phases of this matter that should
be considered One is what will the court at Balti-i
have to say about this shifty business on the
part of the Attorney General and the other is what
will the American Bar Association have to say?
Unfortunately, SO far as the court is concerned

WHO SAYS NOBODY LOVES
'EM?

BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Nobody loves a fat person" I read that sentence
the other day written by spinach enthusiast.
What a fallacious statement
In my own experience land 1 sure you, too,
could recall such incident to mind the
who most adored by her family who loved
dearly by all her friends, and who was admired by
every person within the circle of her acquaintance be-
cause of her happy smile and kindly deeds, weighed
almost two hundred pounds.
If the real truth of the matter told, could
readily say that nobody loves skinny person.
For fat people usually joval and goodatured and
get along with, whereas thin likely to
be anaemic and grouchy and Stout folks do not
sunlight instead of the gloom; they affectionate
and easy going and lazy and for this reason they
never poster other people,
Passionate reformers who work SO much havoc in
the world nearly always skinny and they wear
themselves out trying make mankind in their
image Bolsheviks, bombthrowers lunatics crimi
nails, professional politicians and muck rakers like
1y to be thin.
Fat people desire that each of should be happy
in his fashion, and don't bother much about the
race going the devil. They much easier to live
with; they do most of the laughing in the world while
the thir*ones do most Of the crying.
1t is true that the fats hardly live SO long
the leans, but they die suddenly before they so
old and bohersome that everybody is tired of them,
And we be that this is not the better way?
We might just well be stout and jolly and expire
in maturity, to live to be ninety making ourselves
and everybody else miserable through fear Of
death. What matters it, after all, whether live
dred years from will be as if had never
been,7 anyway.
It's all right for you to diet and attempt remain
beautiful and to live great many longer, but
please don't do hugging the erroneous impression
that fat people never loved. KS

THE MYSTERY SOLVED

All good law abiding and law reverencing c1tl-
zens will be happy that the great mystery OF now
$4,000, or thereabouts, worth of whisky could De
taken from vigilant Government which had con-
fscated it and find it's way back into the hands Oh
criminal men and women who drink IT,
For it Is all solved now. A Negro Waterman mas
confessed that he took it, all of it except the few
cases that two other Negro employees of the Federal
building admitted stealing.
ONLY the greatest detective ability could have
forced such confession.
For it will be remembered that when Congress
man La Guardia of New York arose in Congress anu
declared that $50 cases of whisky had been taken
from the Federal Building there was an Immediate
denial by United States Marshal Meredith that any
whisky had been taken.
It will be remembered that he stated to all the
indianapolis newspapers that it was impossible to
tell how much whisky missing, if any, because
there had been no inventory, but about that he was
mistaken for he had previously signed receipt ON
the court docket for definite amount
It may be recalled that the transaction was more
clouded by the declaration of the former prohibition
director of the State that Federal officer had re-
ported to Washington two years ago that large
amount of the Squibb whisky was missing, but that
nothing was done until La Guardia dropped his bomb
she'll -
It will be remembered that the charge of La
Guardia was substantiated when official check
was made by Washington and his figures substan-
tiated.
These were some Of the circumstances that made
the case.so mysterious and so battling.
Evidently the officer of the court who was
charged with the custody did not even know that
this vast amount liquor ntrusted to him was gone
He had never missed it at all.
But now he knows it is gone. He knows and the
people know where it went 1t was taken by the
janitors and sold.
The incident will be worth while, if it results in
placing so strong guard around all Government
property the Federal Building for instance, so that
it will not require New York Congressman to IN
form the people of indianapolis if some one should
come along and steal it some evening
1t would be pity if thieves should carry away
that majestic edifce and Federal officers never
miss 1t.

To serve the trusting people who

And office after office came,
Your modesty still aiding,

CHEATERS

great middle western university reports that
dishonesty in classroom work and examinations has
been found SO widespread that committee of faculty
and students has recommended immediate measures
to make the penalties more stringent and to arouse
student sentiment against it.
There is no middle ground for the student to
take. He will be either cheater or an honest man
and he will go out into life the other, dis
honest or trustworthy.
If cheater win the crown of Socrates he will
be cheater still and no~degree and no honor can
change him to an honest man. Cheating is unfair.
and without sense of fairness is a menace.

Editor Indianapolis Times:
Wine is a mocker. Strong women
and weak men are raging, and who
sover is deceived by the true con-
ditions resulting from so-called pro
hibition Is either a cuckoo or a
knave. Prohibition was saddled on
the backs of the masses by the
classes. The rich man has just as
much good 'Icker" as he wants,
while the poor man has to make his
own or buy poisonous brew and mix
lures. But they all get it just the
same and drink lot more Of 1t than
they did in the days Of high license.
SO far as prohibition is concerned
it just isn't. that's all.
Ninety-nine and nine-tenths per
cent of the people drink more
flicker" and poorer flicker" than
they did before the so-called prohibi-
ton days. About all that prohibition
has accomplished is to make law
breaker out of practically every good
citizen in the country and make soft
Jobs and riches for the fellows who
win take a Brody. 1t has withdrawn
from the Government Treasury one
Of the greatest sources Of revenue
1t ever had. taken hundreds of mil
lions of dollars out Of the country
increased taxation, saddled the Gov
eminent with untold millions In ex-
pense, piled up the taxes and ex-
penses for every State and local
community, filed the jails and work
houses and penitentiaries with men
and women who never would have
ben tempted to crime, but for pro-
hibition, filled public officialdom with
unbelievable graft and finally made
us Nation of "rot-gut" whisky
drinkers. And last, but not by any
means least, it has provided steady
employment for the self.appointed,
water-brained busybodies IN every
community who always wanted to
deprive somebody else Of something
and who always wanted laws passed
to govern the other fellow.
The very principle of prohibition
is wrong. 1t is the abuse and not
the use that is harmful. A razor in
the hands Of baby would be a ter
rible thing and undoubtedly would
bring harm and disaster to the baby.
The same implement in the hands Of
u bad Negro would mean disaster.
But you wouldn't think Of prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale Of ra-
zors, would you? 1t isn't the use Of
liquor, it is the abuse of 1t that is
bad. And the abuse is ten times
times worse-and so is the liquor
under so-called prohibition.
Fanatical prohibition leaders point
out the evils Of the old-time saloon,
but It is a fact that the old corner
in it's balmiest day was Sunday
school picnic compared to the pres
ent illicit system Of liquor distribu-
ton.
The sooner that the politicians rea-
lie that the people are more inter
ested in the repeal or the modifica-
ton of the mis-named prohibition
law than they are in the world court,
the League of Nations and farm re-
lift, the sooner this'country will get
back to what George washington,
Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson
and the other founders of the repub-
lie intended that it should be.
