NO REST
FOR POLITICS

N7ANDIDATES for Marion
County offices are beginning
~ TO put out buds. tender lit
tie boomlets; senatorial and con-
gressional candidates have already
blossomed. Another political spring
is not far belinda primary cam
paign, followed six months later by
an election.
There is no rest for politics in
Indianapolis.
Last year It was the municipal
primary and city election, each
with its protracted campaign. The
year before, election OF national
and State officers occupied time
and attention for eight or nine
months. In Indianapolis we have
an election in three out OF every
four years-politics IS not an oc-
casionaI dissipation but a steady
civic diet.
The arrangement is designed to
keep party machinery we'll oiled
and efficient year in and year out.
But campaigns and elections in
endless procession tire the voters
who have no personal interest In
the result. and breed indifference.
Hanihara, former japanese am
bassador to the United States, in a
recent article on the American POI
litical system, points out as a de-
feet that general elections In the
United States are too tedious. Ma
tional elections make such a con-
slant round that members OF Con-
gress can not be wholehearted in
the discharge of their duties. With
State and city elections added, vot-
ers become Indifferent"
You said it, Hanny. 1t would
certainly be nice for the plain vot-
ing citizen IL he could choose his
public officials-national, State,
county. city and what have you
all at one time and not have f.oliti-
cal campaigns recurring every
spring like chills and fever. Three
years out Of four devoted to pri-
vate business and one year to poll
tics would suit him.

Bonaparte was a charity student

Abraham Lincoln was a back

country and the world that his
name will never fade from the
memory of mankind
And so the story runs through all
history, proving THAT the greatest
triunnphs in all ages have been the
triumphs Of toll over penury and
privation.
Instead of poverty being a
handp. leap, 1t has often proved a
blessing to the man of high purpose

TC7 ONE people keep on insisting we should
~ let the rest Of the world go hang. What's
5 it to us7 they ask.
Last year, the Department Of Commerce
says, foreigners bought 81, 908, 743 259 worth of
goods from us-things you made with your
own hands or produced out Of your ground
While they were doing that, we needed,
and bought, from them $4,224, 225, 1862 worth
Of their goods.
Thus our trade with foreign countries,
during 1926 totaled exactly $50, 1872, $685. 21, the

American citizens invested in foreign countries

stake in foreign lands. The total-$10, 1872

Yes, sir, that s some money! And all of
us got some Of it. 1t helped make our prosper

going. Without it, lot Of employees would
have been laid off. Dry goods, groceries,
homes, automobiles and what not, would not
have sold SO readily because there would have
been fewer people with money to buy them So
other business would have felt the pinch, and
laid off still more workers, adding to the unem-

Now, SO far as most of us are able

as the mems clubs, for when it
comes to useless organizations the
women certainly have nothing much

mated to give their members an eve

The wornen's culture clubs may
look silly, but they are not always
that way. In them are plenty Of
women who actually study and learn
things. Most of the members strive
to increage their knowledge of some
subject. whether it be better cooking,
or politics, or the newest East In

and their program is the acquiring
OF some sort of knowledge.

TRAINING BOYS
TO BE SOLDIERS

1.-THE REV. EDWIN DUN
Lazy, Indianapolis clergy
~ man, told his congregation
Sunday night that he favored COM
pulsory military training for boys
in colleges and schools. The train
ing, he believes, is excellent discip-
line and promotes democracy and
fraternalism instead of militarism.
Now the parson has let himself
in for 1t. He Will have the profess
sional pacifists, who are now flood
ing. the country with propaganda
against military training in schools
and all measures designed for ma
tional defense, yelping at his heels.
The uproar over an insignificant
amount Of military training given
to boys in colleges and schools is
silly. Such training isn't likely to
turn out a generation Of soldiers
itching for a war.
We have been turning out for
years Boy Scouts, who have had
a sort of military training and in
struction in woodcraft and such
subjects. Very few of those Scouts
have taken up Indian fighting as
a trade as a result of their Scout
training. And fewer yet OF them
have taken up banditry as a pro-
fession.
There's moro to military train
ing for youths than preparation
for the remote contingency OF war.
Training them for soldering is the
least of it. They are taught neat
ness, cleanliness, alertness, discip-
line and obedience. Certainly USE
full qualities.
The amount OF martial spirit
such training will fan into flame
is more than offset by its influence
to peaceful, decent citizenship.
