NO TIME FOR LAME DUCKS

America has before it the greatest opportunity
ever given any nation, and that opportunity is TO
take the lead in helping China in her struggles and
in winning her friendship, rather than waiting for
some other nation to act"
Such is the message Rev. James NJ Yard of the
West China Union University, has brought back to
the people of this country
Men with vision are needed in this task" he
declares men who can foresee 100 years. In 100
years China and America will be the two greatest
nations on earth and the frution of wise action now
will be found immensely valuable,
DR.. Yard appears to have an unusual breadth
OF vision himself for, unlike so many superficial OBJ
servers In the Orient, he does look at mere sur
face indications-the battles between war lords.

word that China is hopeless
To the contrary. To him all this unrest means
something
This shifting contest is merely like men working
with pickaxes slow-moving glacier" he saws
This glacier is renaissance and development of a
nationalist spirit which is the greatest movement of
the mind OF man the world has seen in 500 years."
IL Is the awakening, he contends OF "the sleep
ing giant"
what DR.. Yard says about our need for "men
with vison'-men who can see 100 years ahead-s
very true. Nor is the Orient the only Mace whore
America needs to have such representatives Not
only CHINA, but the whole world today is "moving
glacier and our need for real statesmen and real
diplomats to conduct foreign affairs. men who
can look lO0 years ahead, has never been so oraat

lends color to the charge that Mr.. Wheeler was
afraid to and justify his activities not only
in connection with enactment of laws concerning al
cohol, but in other matters in which high govern
ment officials impressed and dominated.
Very recently Mr.. Wheeler has written for a
great New York newspaper a series OF articles on
his activities and some of these actions quite
interesting and significant his public utterances

They indicate, almost boast, that the Anti
Saloon League has become powerful political or
ganizaton, closely held and personally controlled be-
fore which Senators and even presidents fater.
They indicate that the officers of the league not
the membership, have assumed the right, because
of their influence to dictate to the White
House and that the league has built up a super gov
eminent which is stronger than any other influence
in this country.
There was, for instance the assertion made by
Mr.. Wheeler that he persuaded the late President
Harding to quit drinking.
That carried many implications, all Of which
would be interesting for thes general public if pre-
sented and analysed.
The political activities of the AntiSaloon League
are quite important the prohibition inquiry it.

to tell the country exactly what he and his league
have done to control the Government of the United

But the one man who is in best position to

efforts made to compel enforcement who has been in

THE MISSING WITNESS

1t is unfortunate that the Senate inquiry into
the prohibition situation comes to close without
hearing from the who should have been the
chief witness for it's dry forces.
1t must should awaken interest the
part of those who have contributed so generously,
year after year, to the Anti-Saloon League.
They should at least ask why the leader of that
organization, the who has directed its policies,
who has sounded it's warnings and issued its ap-
peas who has been in closest touch with all its
tivites not the first to to the Senate ses-
sions and relate the story of victory
But Wayne B. Wheeler has not appeared to take
the oath to tell the truth and all the truth, about
the effects Of prohibition
1t is especially to be depored by reason of the
fact that it was announced in advance that when
Mr. Wheeler came to testify, he would be subjected
to most searching cross-examination by Senator
James Reed of Missouri, who has reputation of be-
ing rather keen and somewhat merciess in his ques
tionings.

THE MATTER
OF TEETH

We are expected to observe next
week-April IS to May las Den
tai Health week. In preparation
for the festivities the Indiana
State Dental Association has IS
sued a bulletin containing sim
pie lrules for keeping teeth in
healthy condition.
Not more than Is per cent of
the people Of the United States
use a toothbrush" states the bull
letin. Therefore, in all probable
ity, more than 100000 people in
this country give little or no at
tention to the care of their
mouths"
Perhaps the bulletin is correct.
However, you can't estimate &C.
curately the tooth situation in this
country by the tooth brush cir
culation. There are the family
tooth brushes. And those oral
hygienists who don't use brushes
at all, but polish their molars with
restaurant napkins.
No doubt a week devoted to
honoring fugitive incisors bicus-
rids and molars is a delicate trib-
ute to mans best friends. Man
has rather enjoyed his teeth.
With them he has carved out a
conspicuous place In the sun and
gnawed his way around the world.
And he is about to lose them,
unless he takes care, declare den
tai experts. Modern, soft, refined
foods are ruinous to teeth, they
say. We must revert TO the rough
fare of our ancestors or take more
care If we would preserve them.
But toothache apparently IS not

have us believed

ON BOTH SIDES

VIII Senator James Watson dare to be silent in
the face of the direct charge Of insincery and dou-
BILE dealing made by Claris Adams in his speech at
South Bend?
There is no evasiveness about the charge-or the
name Of the witness whom Mr.. Adams gives TO sup
port 1t.
He charges that Senator Watson, on his return
from Washington, told Glen Richards of Terre Haute
that while he had voted against the World Court be-
cause of what he believed to be the sentiment OF
indiana he had persuaded other Senators to vote for
The court so that he knew in advance that his own
vote would not count.
The Watson vote on the World Court is heralded
as his one great moment.
His friends point to the fact that he had the
courage to oppose the President and the platform
of his own party when it came to a crisis.
They point to 1t as evidence Of his great states
manshp.
And now if the charge made by Claris Adams be
true, it was insncere, cowardly, tricky.
Circumstantial evidence would prove the charge,
were there no confession from Watson to support it.
Before his vote was cast not Senator nor
citizen knew what Watson thought about the World
Court He had never given an interview made
a speech.
Not even the shrewdest newspaper correspond
ents had an inkling of what Watson would do.
True he had held secret conference with the
head Of a secret organization which decided to fight
the World Court.
1t was also true that his friends at home told
him that if he voted to put this country into the court
he could expect former Senator Beveridge whose po-
ston on that any other question is never in doubt
as opponent
But Watson showed no deep conviction or keen
conscience upon the subject either side. The
great statesman merely balanced his fears.
{c iy tba md
women of his party should be interested in
knowing whether he really for or against that
court.
Did his vote record his convictions or his fears?
If he voted his belief, why did he try to get
other Senators to vote to put this country into that
CORTLAND what sort of influence, what promises Of
preference, did he give?
Do the voters of the Republican party really
want leader who is on both sides of every question?

DOWNTOWN
PARKING SPACE

Marion County commissioners
have approved the plan to use the
north half of the Courthouse
square for automobile parking pur-
poses. It is planned to remove the
fruit and vegetable stands from
the vicinity and cover the yard
with gravel to make a convenient
and satisfactory downtown park.
ing space.
Probably that is a mark Of prog
ress.
The downtown parking problem
is acute. There just aren't enough
parking places to go around. John
j. Citizen, who tolls in store or
office in the congested district and
who drives his own car to work,
is generally up against it to find a
place to park. He can either leave
his car at some convenient curb
with the possibility of being pink
slipped and paying q 50 fine for
overtime parking or he can fold UP
his vehicle and put it in his pocket.
Either alternative is unsatisfac-
tory. Consequently there is much
driving around the block every
couple Of hours to find a new park
ing place, which adds to the traffic
congestion.
Use Of the Courthouse yard may
relieve the situation in slight de.
gree. And from the esthetic stand
point the beauty Of the Courthouse
property will not be marred. 1t
couldn't be. Serted ranks Of cars
in the yard will be as pleasing to
the eye as the present garland of
outdoor stands and brazen-voiced
hucksters surrounding the square.
But If providing parking space is
the most important consideration
in utilization Of open plots Of
ground downtown, why stop at the
Courthouse yard? Why not turn
the Statehouse grounds and the
War Memorial plaza into open air
garages also?

BE CHEERFUL

Here is the advice of chauncey Depew given on
his ninety-second birthday anniversary.
It is the voice of experience, given to youth.
More than that it is inspired pathology and psycho

Hate is the great destroyer. 1t burns up the

the person who hates.
No movement founded on hate has ever survived
The story of civilization has been written by those
who have embarked enterprises in spirit OF

PHONE COMPANY'S
EARNINGS

In his annual report to the
stockholders, just made public, C.
H. Rottger. president of the In"
diana Bell Telephone Company,
states that the net earnings OF the
company in 1925 averaged AS per
cent on the book value OF the
company.
The poor telephone octopus!
only 4.S per cent profit. Better
times are coming, however. The
recent boost in rates given the un-
dernourished monopoly by the
public service commission will, it
is estimated, yield a return Of APP
proximately 6hs per cent.
Certainly the telephone COM
pany is entitled to rates that will
give it a fair return. But what
is a fair return? How do the earn
ings Of the telephone company
compare with the earnings Of
other lines of business?
A million storekeepers go broke
every seven years, because of the
small returns from their invest
nents, merchandising experts
have computed The average re-
tail hardware Dealers net profit in
1924 was only IA Of / per cent an
investigator reported at the last
National Hardware Association
convention.
The Harvard business research
bureau showed that the aver
age net profits of 545 Individual
groceries surveyed last year were
one-ninth Of l per cent.
AS for the farmer. Perry ii.
Crane, secretary Of the Indiana
Farm Bureau Federation, says
that the average Hoosier farmer,
if he figured his costs the way
the telephone company does,
didn't get any return on his in
vestment last year, His profits
were represented by red ink and
experience.
1.-THE farmer" says Crane,
might find It advantageous from
the standpoint of earnings to have
his business declared a public
utility and he assured q fair
profit by the public service COM
mission"
When we compare the earn
ings Of the distressed telephone
company with the returns of

we aren't so enthusiastic about the
raise in phone rates. Perhaps
