neglect our own business.
We are so busy destroying the

chance of draping themselves over

In this column of Aug. "a, Mr.
Grimes of 1854 Broadway made a
comment on the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, which meets with my
approval.
Homer Mckee, in a recent talk at
the Indianapolis Athletic Club, made
spirited speech to boost 1ndianapo-
lis to million population. Every
citizen Of our city was enthusiastic
over his plan for growth in. bust
ness.
Now, the attempt to annex Speed
way City and to stop the Speedway
race is one of the biggest black
eyes against the growth and
popularity of our city that can be
made.
Many tourists will tell you that
while motoring or on vacation, If
you are asked what part Of Indiana
you are from and reply "Indianapo-
u.s." the next thing discussed is the
Speedway. We have the only 500
mile race on an oval brick track in
the world, And, is it not the greatest
race In the world? Some of the
foreign cars shipped here for the
race last May 81 had printed on
the packing cases, For Indianapolis.
the greatest race track in the world"
Is this not boost for our city?
Months before the race, all hotel
reservations are taken, private
homes are asked to share their
spare rooms to help out In taking
care of the huge mass Of people tnat,
invades our city. And any merchant,
in most any line Of business, will
tell you that people from out of town
buy merchandise in our city, becaus
they are proud to display the itemN
as articles bought in our city while
attending the races. Many buy
articles, because they have a hobby
of purchasing things in a strange
town. And yet the biggest drawing
card we have, is threatened to be
discontinued. PAUL Jingle,

SEEING THE LIGHT

In pleasing contrast with the attitude of the
head Of the AntfSaloon League in this State is that
of the most powerful Methodist paper, the North
western Christian Advocate.
1t that no longer will professional"
dry attitude be taken the one and only basis of
Endorsement of candidates for Office.
Protesting against the use of insult money to
nominate dry candidate in Illinois, this inhuen-
tial church paper declares:
1--WE drys are in earnest on the prohibition ques-
ton, but we not the victims Of fixed idea A
candidates dryness is not like charity; it does not
cover a multitude Of political sins.
1--WE do not believe that being dry is the be-
ginning and end of any candidates virtue We know
that there other civil ideals quite important as
prohibition, and to be as strongly defended when
they attacked"
Compare that attitude with the announcements
of the local dry leader in his appeal for votes for his
favorites
In Indiana the venal and the corrupt have al.
ways tried to gain favor with this powerful dry po-
ltical organization That they might be the kept
men Of the privileged interests, that they may be
the servants OF privilege and bought in advance by
those who seek the peoples money has meant moth
ing.
1t may be remembered that in the last cam
paign that league indorsed Arthur Robinson for the
Senate nomination and later apologzed to Oswald
Ryan. 1t indorses WQson in the primaries despite
bis declarations that he proud of his vote for
Newberryism.
The courageous attitude Of this Methodist paper
in declaring that while prohibition is principle to
be defended it refuses to longer be made the tool for
the corrupt because of lip service its shows
that the great rank and file of real professional
prohibitionsts are seeing the light.
The time may in Indiana when the sin.
cere drys will look beyond the pledges to the dry
leaders of the State and ask for other qualifications
than devotion to Vosteadism. Many have already
been disguised with the Endorsement Of many per.
sonal vets and political drys.

G|LL|OM RULES
ON GUARD FUND
Tells Kershner, Who Will
Get DoughbOy's Dough.

What to do with the doughboy's
dough, when he Is fined for missing
drill and similar infractions of dis
cipline, was the problem faced by
Adjt. Gen. William H. Kershner,
who in turn "passed the buck" ac-
cording to Army parlance, to Attor-
ney General Arthur /. Gilliom.
Gilliom settled the question in an
opinion sent to the adjutant gen.
erals office. The question arose from
a query Of Cary Forkner, Madison
County auditor, who wanted to know
how to handle the money from fines
from Battery B. 150th, f. A., FL
wood, Ind.
1t was ruled that the money from
enlisted men should be held by the
county for the battery or company
fund. and that from officers sent to
the adjutant general for general use
by the Indiana National Guard.
