ward peoples for the money there was to be made
out of them.
The new dollar diplomacy will seek the advance
ment and prosperity of weaker and more backward
peoples because progressive big business men know
more money is to be made dealing with prosperous
industrious peoples than with poems
The average American spends dollar for every
penny the average native of India can spend There
are more automobiles in the smallest State in the
Union than there are in all China Notwithstanding
her 4ooyoooOOO. people.
Some Of the oil men in Mexico are typical expon-
ents OF the old-fashioned dollar diplomacy They
are merely interested in oil wells which will only
last few years at best. They don't give hang how
many revolutions Mexico has just so they can con-
tnue to pump out the oil They would rather pay
100000 to some local native CRATER for local protec-
ton than pay $4,000 in taxes to stable thriving
national government They want wages to remain as
low as possible They interested only in shipping
oil out of the country not in the prosperity or ad-
vancement OF the country itself They do not care
how illterate the natives are-he more ilterate the
better-for higher standards of living would proft
them not at ALL
Not all American oil in Mexico are like that
But some are And these have been making their
voices heard loudly and long in the neighborhood of
Washington in recent years
Sooner or later, however, progressive American
capitalists and business men generally will have their
innings in the State Department at washington.
These men have permanent, rather than temporary.
interests in Mexico. They own Mexican national
securities These only as good as the government
oenind them They own Mexican railway bonds, good
only in proportion to the steadiness and volume of
business these railways do They have valuable trade
connections which increase or decrease in value as
Mexlcos fortunes rise or fall AS Mexico prospers
they stand to prosper. The faster the Mexican peon
gets away from coolie conditions and approaches the
American standard of wages and living, the more
money these Americans stand to make
Take our automobile industry as an example.
Today Mexico has about 10000 passenger cars and
trucks On an American footing she would have ap-
proximately 100000 or 100 times as many. AS
Mexico buys nearly all her cars in the United States
it is easy to what prosperity down there would
mean to this one industry alone to the workers as
we'll as to the owners.
Now in a money world like ours nearly all
diplomacy is dollar diplomacy, however much we NAV
dislike to admit it. But dollar diplomacy NAV be
good or bad constructive or destructive creative of
good will and understanding or of i'll will and bad

We like to believe-and think we see reason for
believing-that President Coolidge has defnitelv
made up his mind al least to begin some experiments
along these constructive lines

Practice Birth Control

Birth control is one Of those
subjects on which we choose to
be hypocritical. 1t is a subject
which is and always has been
discussed by most married cou-
Piles in the seclusion of their
homes, but which for some in
scrutable reason has been taboo
in public.
Birth control has been prac-
ticed by every leisure, luxury low
ing class that society has thrown
of since the dawn of human con-
seriousness.
Childlessnecs on the part of
these who could afford it and who
preferred to avoid the obligations
and responsibilities of parenthood
in order that they might pass
their time in more amusing ways
has been the proximate cause of
the collapse Of every great age in
human history.
Men, whether In ancient Rome
or modern England, have accepted
wealth and knowledge as an ex-
cuse for not rearing families and
have employed the brains and
money with which they were en-
dowed to prepare the way for the
lower elements of society to tram
pie them under foot and obliter-
ate their work.

Laze, and Justice
BY Dexter IA. KeezeI

The jury in prohibition law case failed 60 agree.
after several hours OF elaboration. The Judge called
the jurors into the courtroom and asked them now
the vote stood They said it was to g. No refer
ence was made to whether the majority was in favor
of acquittal conviction The jurors subsequently,
agreed on verdict of guilty
An appeal was taken from this decision, on the
ground that the judge had committed error sufn-
Gent to warrant new trial by asking the jury how
1t stood 1t was argued that such question had the
improper effect OF influencing the jury to reach a
verdict. The opposing argument was that the mere
question of the numerical division of the jury with
out reference to whether they favored conviction or
acquittal snot SUFFICIENT ground to upset the YER
dict.
HOW WOULD you DECIDE THIS CASEq
The actual decision: The United States Supreme
Court decided that the trial judges question const-
tuted valid ground for new trial The reason given
was that such question tended to have an inn
proper decision.

Side Step Problem

1t is a beautiful delusion that
blood does not count. that in
herited strains and traits are of
no consequence, and that the
right kind of environment can
develop strength and character
without regard to parentage.
1t is a beautiful delusion be-.
cause it permits us to go on in
the good old promiscuous, hap
hazard way, with those who are
best fitted to carry them, evading
the burdens Of society, while those
who are least fit shoulder tie
load.
1t is beautiful delusion, be-
cause it allows us to pretend one
thing and practice another, to
give others advise we do not fol-
low, to side-step a problem Of
which we arc afraid because Of
its very gravity.

Headed for RuinIl

Thus the endless parade Of
issues, incidents, problems and
speculations passes before our
eyes, creating spots of excitement
here and spasms of worry there.
Comes a Yale professor, Els
worth Huntington, and the
executive secretary of the Ameri-
can Eugenics Society. Leon F..
Whitney, with a book which,
whatever else one may think of
it, calls attention to a deeper
problem and a more vital issue
than them all
Birth control, as practiced by
people Of affluence and education
and as neglected by those who
dwell in poverty and ignorance
say these authors, promises to de-
stroy civilization, no matter how
many cars the average family
has, what we do by way of farm
relief or whom we elect president
Of the United States in 1923.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-30

Whether the average family
should have Two cars in order to
make America safe for the auto
mobile business;
Whether some way can be found
to loan the Mississippi flood
sufferers the money they need to
plant next years crops;
Whether there will be a tax cut
in spite of Secretary MELONS OPP
position and who will benefit most
If there is:
Whether Governor Smith should
go on letting Judge Olvany put
words of political clap-trap into
his mouth or say something on
his own account;
Whether a girl should be barred
from nigh school because she is
married, as the New Brunswick
board Of education has decided;
Whether Rear Admiral Ma
gruder should be allowed to offer
a straight forward plan of re-
organization for the Navy, should
be muzzled in the good old
fashioned way or should be
choked to death with butter;
Whether the farmers should be
relieved" and if so by whom;
Whether New York City spoiled
a good actor when it put Jimmy
Walker in the mayors chair;
Whether Gene Tunney can be-
come a great evangelist after
making a couple Of million in the
prize ring;
Whether the political ring at
Washington can side-track Her.
bert Hoover, and If it can,
whether it will lose the election;
Whether we should face the
prohibition question in an honest,
straight forward way, or continue
to play the part of hypocrites and
nllllify the constitution.

Make It Emphatic

just how long Mayor Duvall can ignore
public sentiment is a question to be deter
mined by his own conscience
His continuance in Office or any plan to
keep the office in his wife's name after he
goes to Jail is positive menace to this city.
Every business is affected by it. The rep
utation of the city suffers. No growth or ex-
pansion can be expected from attracting new
industries as long as the city is the laughing
stock Of the Nation and an object of suspicion
to the industrial and business world.
Is there sany one except the mayor and a
very few who are drawing more money from
city jobs than they could earn elsewhere, who
want him to stay in Officer If there are they
are making no appeals in his behalf.
The suggestion of The Times on Monday
that this was matter for concerted action
in civic organizations which are dedicated to
the city welfare but are not interested in
politics, has been followed by three Of the
outstanding organizations. Others are con-
templating similar action.
That Mayor Duvall should wait until, a
court throws hue out of office in the face of
such protests and demands for resignation
merely reflects upon himself and justifes
every criticism and accusation.
His one and only path to any forgiveness
lies in an immediate resignation without any
effort to keep the job in his own family
His election is now Judicially branded
as tainted with corruption. There is need Of
an administration, right now, that is born in
interruption.
A>committee of club presidents each with
resolution of Indignation, should march on
tho city hall and educate the mayor to the
seriousness of the situation.

Make It Unanimous

There should be no serious disagreement
between Attorney General Gilliom, who is at
present the only Republican leader who ap-
pears unafraid to voice his views, and Chair
man Peters Of the Democratic party.
The task before Indiana can very proita-
bly, use the influence of both political parties.
The job is to get rid of "super- government, ,,
and if we are to have system of political par
ties, it might seem that both parties could
agree upon program that is so fundamentally
Anne lean.
Gilliom has openly challenged the forces of
super government in the State and has not
hesitated to name them.
He points to the Ku-Klux Khan as the force
Of hate and bigotry and the Anti-Saoon
League as the voice of fanatcism and tyran-
nical politics.
There can hardly be any dispute that both
these organizations have contributed to the
present condition. the one through venal
leadership and the other through blindness
to any consideration except that Of the dry
cause.
The leaders Of both have assumed to die
tate laws and government and through fear
Of these leaders and Of political reprisals, we
have had stimid executives and more timid leg
islators and at least cautious judges.
Just why there should be any hesitation
in Democratic circles in condemning these two
branches Of secret control of officials is hard
to explain.
No member of the Democratic party who
has watched the effects of this super govern
ment in the other party could wish to become
the legatee of these sinister influences if they
are driven from the party which they have so
successfully controlled.
If both or either have principles or policies
they wish to advance, they should be given an
opportunity to come into the open and fight
for them.
The challenge of Glliom to his own party
can have no other effect than making the mat
ter one of contest within his party. 1t will
drag the matter into the open.
A similar challenge from Peters ought to
drive any such influence from his own party.
Indiana is trying hard to get a chance to
clean up and rid itself of its shame and humli-
dIlon "nicn mas come, almost entlrelN from
the secret control of these forces.
The men who have traded and trafficked.
with them in the past are fairly well known.
Those who, bargained and dealt with them can
be forgotten by the people in future honors.
An unanimous drive in both parties against
these Influences would drive the agents of these
forces into the open.
There is'room for every one who is willing
to take stand.

A memorial exhlDlClOn OF the
PAINTINGS of j. Otis Adams will
open in galleries nine and ten sun
day at the John Heron Art Insti-
tute.
There will be brief program, be-
ginning at three o'clock on Sunday
afternoon. The Orloff Trio will rem
der several musical numbers and
william Forsyth will give a short
talk.
Mr.. Adams, an important member
of the Hoosier Group, died lin jan
uary of this year after life OF dis
tinguished accomplishment. He was
born in Amity, Johnson County,
Indiana in 1851 and as young man
studied first in the South Kensing-
ton Art School in London and later
in the Royal Academy of Munich
under Loefftz and Benczur. In 1887
he returned to this country and
made his home in Muncie until 1898
when he went to BroC vile.
He exhibited his work widely and
received many prizes. Three Of his
prize pictures are shown IN this
exhibition: "a Winter Morning"
lent by the Muncie Art Association,
received the Fine Arts Corporation
prize in Chicago in 1907 and an
other prize, later, in Vincennes,
Ind; 1.-THE Iridescence of a Shall
low Sgream," lent by the Terre
Haute Public Library, received a
bronze medal at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition. st. Louis, 1904;
and "a Frosty Morning, No. 2" was
awarded an honorable mention in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1910
Adams excelled in landscape. He
poured a poetic feeling into his in
terpretations of nature, and en-
ployed a jewel-like brilliancy of
coloring that gives distinction to his
work.
In many of the landscapes figures
appear-particularly in the early
paintings-but the studies of hills
and woods and streams and sky,
with no hint OF mans presence
other than winding road or the
roofs of distant village, constitute
the greater part of his accomplish
ment. There are a number of in
teresting portraits in the exhibition,
several figure compositions and a
few still life paintings. A majority
of the canvases have been lent by
individual owners from many parts
of the country, and some are the
property of the Adams heirs.
The Richmond Loan Collection
still occupies Galley XII. A land
scape by j. Otis Adams entitled "a
Summer Afternoon" is included in
this loan. Though 1t is not hung
with the Adams Memorial paintings,
it is listed in the catalog of that ex-
hibition.
A group Of noteworthy French
etchings have been placed in Gal
lery II. Included are fine examples
of the work of Charles Jacque, Felix
Buhot, Jean Francois Millet, Au-
guste Lepere, Jean Paul Laurens,
Jean Francisque Rafael, Carolus-
Duran, Charles Francois Daubigny,
Paul Helleu, Albert Besnard and
others. Several of the etchings we're
formerly in the Delavan Smith ol-
lection and were included in TIE
collectors bequest to the Art Assc-
citation. 1.-THE Apple Market" by
Auguste Lepere has greatly in
creased in value since its acquisition
by the Art Association. 1t is report
ed that print of this etching
brought the sun, of $1,000 at a re-
cent print sale.

Balance Is Required

No matter how tall buildings we
may construct, no matter what
stupendous engines of mechanical
power we may contrive, no mat
ter what vast and higher institu-
tons Of learning we may estab-
lish, no matter how deeply we
may delve in the secrets of SCI
ence, no matter what beautiful
distractions we may evolve, we
shall never lay the basis of per-
marent civilization until we have
found a way to balance the strata
of society so far as reproduction
is concerned, to perpetuate strains
OF strength and genius along with
those Of stupidity and aniInalisrn.
Obviously, there are but two
ways, either more children by
parents who are in a position to
endow them with the heritages
and advantages or modern life,
or fewer children by parents who
are not.

How did the superstition originate
that knocking on wood repels bad
luck?
1t appears to have originated in
the custom of touching wood upon
every occasion of happiness or good
fortune in gratitude to Christ, who
died upon a wooden cross. Through
some perverted notion of the mass

Crows Nest on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Goodman is chairman of the
drive. At this tea the team captains
will give their reports.
1t was found necessary, due to the
lack of time which two of the cap
tains could devote to the drive, to

zweible is the new captain of Mrs.
Grace Watson Duckwall's team and
Mrs. Harry F. Parr of Mrs. William

The leading member of the drive
is Miss Hilda Lieber, who reported
her full quota of new members on
the first day of the drive and has
not relaxed her efforts to obtain
