The conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South invites all
modernists to get out. That applies
to all, especially clergymen who do
not believe ain living personal God,
the divinity of Jesus Christ and the
virgin birth"
That seems fair. There is plenty
of room outside of any church for any
belief in these days. Churches, like
clubs, should have the right to con-
troll their own membership and rules,
while carefully ~abstaining from any
attempt to control other people and
other things.

In British coal mines where men
are nothing, the a~ristocratic owner
never sees the inside of a mine oil the

Only a few years since, English
women, working in shafts too low
even for mules or donkeys, dragged
out the little coal carts slowly, pain
fully, creeping on their hands and
knees. A strap o r a chain around the
neck, passing under the breast, was
fastened to the car behind them.

The Post Office announces that so
cities in the United States increased
their postal receipts in April more
than 6 per cent over the same month
a year ago.
Unfortunately, figures concerning
the use of air mail would be discour-
aging.
1t is unnecessary to warn ambitious
cities anxious for air mail service that
to get it they must support it. If rot
they will lose it.
The government cannot run an FIX
pensive air mail service merely be-
cause. cities desire it.
Postmaster-Genera New and Pres
ident Coolidge are anxious to encou
age profitable commercial flying thru
the development of air mail. But
cities and citizens must do their part.
One air route recently established
in the south, for instance, serving
four important cities, started off mag
nificently, with receipts in the first
brief period exceeding $4,000, ample
to cover expenses. On the tenth day
the receipts had dropped to $40, to
meet an expense of $500.
The financial solution will be found
eventually in carrying passengers as
well as mail, an arrangement to which
thc administration would gladly COR
sert. The first problem would ne to
find the passengers. Americans large
ly support flying routes in Europe,
occupying more than half the seats
in flying machines between London
and Paris in the season. But they
seem less inclined to patronize flying
in their own land.

DREAMED Of
PAPER HERE:
Former Khan Dragon Had
Planned Personal Organ
to Promote Politics.

d. c.. Stephenson, the "old man"
ST the Khan and the former political
dictator Of the Indiana Republican
party, once planned to establish a
newspaper in Indianapolis as his per-
sonal organ.
To that end, he authorized negotia-
lions for the control Of the Indian
apolis Commercial and the Enquirer
Printing and Publishing Company
These negotiations, including a
personal meeting with Stephenson,
were conducted in the law suite in
the Indiana Trust Bldg, which was
occupied jointly by Ed S. Jackson,
now Governor, and Robert |. Marsh,
who was then acting Tor Stephenson
and was Jackson's associate in the
practice of law.
A proposal to sell the controlling
interest of the Enquirer Printing and
Publishing Company, the Enquirer
Realty Company and the Indian
apolis Commercial, Inc, to Stephen
son for total of $175,000, was ac-
cepted by Stephenson personally,
and Marsh was instructed to COM
plete the details of the purchase, ac-
cording to r. A. Butler, who repre-
sented the three companies in the
negotiations.
Not to Be Found
Shortly after Stephenson had per
Ionally agreed to the purchase and
instructed Marsh to proceed with it
IN his NAME" says Butler, IAN
nouncement was made of the resig
nation of Stephenson as Grand Drag
On of Indiana and the old man
could not be found.
"On Oct. 0, 1923, I notified Marsh
that unless the deal was concluded
by Oct. 13, 1923, it would have to
be called off.
"On Oct. 10, Marsh informed me
that he regretted his inability to
proceed further in the absence Of
Stephenson. A little later on, Marsh
informed me that Stephenson had
uttered nervous prostration and was
hen on board a private yacht some
where near Cuba and in no condi
ion to attempt to transact bust
less.
In a subsequent conversation,
Marsh told me that he. had severed
III connections with Stephenson and
vas no longer interested in carry
ng out the plans we had discussed.
"The fact that these negotiations
ook place in the office of Jackson

ne at the time, as it was well-known

hose who enjoyed Stephenson s
