THE NEW A. E. F.

Just ten years ago the United
States entered the war against
Germany, carrying into that Ellrop-
can maelstrom some millions of our
American youth, including 800 or
more of the young men between Is
and 80 who lived in this city.
Now the American legion which
is about the best thing that the war
produced, is organizing new ex-
Iecition to France. This, time 1T

ing and with all abandon ship"
d. ills in the former submarine zore
eliminated.
Where the vessels formerly creit
darkly and silently across the
watery waste infested by submar-
il es, with the men battened below
matches, now they will go ablaze
with lights, with music and gaiety.
Some magazines and newspapers
throughout the country have taken
the attitude publicly that the new
American Legion expedition will be
just "huge drinking bout" in Paris.
Every good citiden resents that. We
rub elbows every day from the men
from this vicinity who represented
US during the late war. They are
men of the best standing in this COM
munity; they are the men who are
going things; most of them are men
with families now.
To say that the new A. E. F. will
be nothing but bunch of drinkers,
or profigates, is an insult to every
man who carried rife. To brand
the men who will go to France
on the new expedition as roues is to
brand every mothers son who served
with the same kind of branding iron.
There are some magazines which
will do anything, say anything, to
create stir. They don't care who
they besmear with mud. But when
they rap the men who fought their
battles for them during the greatest
war in history, we rise up to resent
it.

SAVE THE GOOSE.

The enormous wealth and national
income of the United States has
made possible in the last ten years
a fiscal accomplishment without
parallel. Our part in the World War
cost, according to the figures that
President Harding had compiled,
just about $4,000, 100000 Of this
approximately one-third was paid
from current revenues. On Aug
ust 81, 1919, the national debt was
just under $27, 100000. Since
then it has been rapidly reduced, un-

tons have greatly reduced the inter

tain. Another ten years will see
this enormous obligation reduced to
almost inconsequence. Conversely,
state and city debts have been grow
ing fast, state debts being about
three times what they were when
the war began, and still increasing.
Many new sources of revenue have
been tapped; some of the most i'm
portant producers of revenue have
actually come into existence during
this period. For instance, special
taxes on the manufacture and use of

The state legislature on April Is
passed the anti-syndicalism law, and
three days later created the Mime
sofa Commission Of Public Saftey.
This commission was active within
week and began is work by restrict
ing the sale of liquor, organizing by
counties, appointing food produc-
ton and conservation committee,
and ordering the organization of a
home guard. BY governors pro-
clamation April 10, the anniversary
of the battle of Lexington, was made
the occasion for statewide patriotic
celebrations. In one city the day was
called Makeup America Day."
Soon the war work was in full
swing. Recruiting was pushed for
ward, candidates for the officers
training camp at Fort Smelling were
enrolled and on May Ia the camp
itself opened, the Red Cross work
was rapidly organized, and after the
aid ption of the national draft on
May 10, preparations were made for
the first great enrolment.
Thus in one state did the processes
of peace give way to those of war.
The story of Minnesota's participa-
ton in the World War is to be told in
a two-volume work now beng pre-
pared by the war records division of
the Minnesota Historical society.
One volume will deal with military
activities at home and abroad; the
other will tell the story of civilian
activities. The division, under the
direction of Mr.. F. F. Holbrook, is
carrying forward the work begun by

In a certain neighboring township
some years ago the county had COM
pleted fine modern highway and
the community thus favored i'm
p,ediately petitioned the county
board to "lay-off" road building for
some years and save on taxes. In
the same selfish spirit this communi-
ty might say to the state department,
"Lay-off paving now, you've got
our in" But we don't feel that
way about it. On the contrary the
sample of paving we have makes US
enthusiastic in wanting to see paved
roads spread into every township. of
every county. "We've got ours" it
is true, and we are glad to keep on
paying auto taxes for years to come
that other communities may get their
roads paved, too.-Belle Plaine

Apples cooked in a sirup colored
with red cinnamon candies are pleas

Do not add water when roasting
beef or lamb. Scar the meat at a

Fried pineapple is easily prepared.
Simply drain the slices of canned
pineapple, dip in flour, and brown
slowly in butter in frying pan.
Chopped nuts are good in almost
any kind of sandwich. Combine them
with raisins, dates, figs or prunes.
They are good with olives, with cot

Jackson TO Rescue

While explaining that he re-

Stephenson in pyament for horse,
and not as a campaign contribution.
Governor Jackson does not overlook
the wisdom Of paroling George r.
Dale.
George r. Dale is one Of those
courageousnewspaper men who real
lied what Klan rule implied and
who was not afraid to say so.
During the argument he took oc-
casion to criticise local Judge be-
cause Of the way juries we're drawn
and impanelled, and drew a sem
tence for contempt of court.
After a four-year legal battle he
found himself facing a three months
term in Jail and a $500 fine.

to come to his rescue at this precise
moment, but it is not without sig
nificance.

DEMAND FULL TRUTH
Hendricks County Republican,

The people have been stupefied by
rumors and stunned by the partial
revelations. They are now demand
ing that the full truth come out.
The truth may blast some fair repu-
tations, may end some promising po-
litical careers, but that is imma-
terial The public welfare demands
the truth.
We have no sympathy with any
cry that revelations may hurt the
Republican party. Some prominent
men may be hurt-many have al
ready been indicted and tried and
convicted in the public mind-hut
the vast majority of the party is
clean and wants only good govern
ment. The others are so small a
minority that it is surprising that
their voice is so potent an dtheir in
fluence so great.
The people are weary of the
mouthngs of Stephenson who is pay
ing his ethical and legal penalty
The people are weary of gentlemen
who have nothing to say when ques-
tons of public moment are pre-
scented to them. The people art
weary of grand juries whose mem.
bers acknowledge a higher power
than the law. The people are want
ing the ordinary processes of gov
eminent to rule.

BY Dexter M. Keezer

The directors Of corporation held majority of
the stock and were also the principal officers They
voted an increase in their salaries officers without
consulting all of the stockholders. man who had a
claim against the corporation attacked these salary
increases illegal because they not sanctioned
by representative meeting Of all of the stockholders
He demanded refund to the corporation of the
amount Of the salary increases. The directors con-
tended that III view of the fact that they held ma
jorty of the stock their action in increasing the SAL
aries carried out the wishes of the body of stochold
ers. They said that under such circumstances a
meeting of the stockholders to pass upon what ma
ority of the stockholders HAD already decided to do
would have been an empty formality
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Michi-
gan decided that the action of the directors in in
creasing the salaries of the officers wholly void
though they held majority of the stock of tn
corporation. One reason given was that to permit
such action by the directors would make possible ex-
poitation Of minority stockholders without any notice
to them of what going on.

~ HE recent gift of S12,50O,OOO
TT as a permanent endowment
of the Curtis Institute Of
Music at Philadelphia by Mrs. Ed
ward Box, wife of the magazine
publisher, opens a new era of de-
velopment to musical talent in
America. The appointment of Jo-
SET Holman as director-in-chief of
the institute is an indication OF
the serious purpose of the work, and
is an assurance that the annual in
come of $75o,o00 derived from the
fund will be wisely spent.
Holman has announced his policy
of administering this fund, which
goes beyond anything that has ever
been done for the advancement of
music. Not only are students
given personal instruction by the
highest type of masters, but pro-
vision is also made for every other
need.
Thus financial aid will be given
to poor students to enable them to
live properly; grand pianos and
other musical instruments will be
furnished rent free to those who
cannot afford their own, and the
cost of embarking on a professional
career will be financed by the insti-
tute.
In addition. exceptionally gifted
students will accompany their mas
tiers for continuous instruction DIR
ing the summer months, all travel
ing and living expenses being met
by the institute.
Among the teachers surrounding
Holman, who is himself the head
of the piano department, are Nine
Marcella Sembrich, Moriz Rosen-
thai, Carl F'lesch, Rosario Scalero,
Carlos Salzedo, Felix Salmond and
Louis Bailly. The Curtis Institute
of Music, which has been in exist
ence for three years, has already
produced a number of successful
concert soloists and symphony play
ers. 1t is not an exclusively Ameri-
can institution, as large number
81 Europeans, are enrolled among
its student body.

Trail of the Khan

Like a dozen others that have
arisen in this country. the Indiana
situation is directly traceable to the
Khan movement.
This movement, built around in
tolerance and a desire for horse
play has left a trail Of bad marks
from Maine to California.
Politicians we're quick to make
use Of it. just as they have always
been quick to make use Of every
such wave Of excitement.
Instead of becoming a great moral

founders declared they intended 10
create, it broke up into a collection
Of local machines.
That headed by D. c. Stephenson

most powerful, if not one Of the
