Sunday, Oct. %, are the work of the
great modern designer, Leon Bakst
Bakst's imagination was stimulated
by the art of the Americas and
when he arranged with Arthur l.
Selig, an American silk manufac-
turer, to furnish textile designs fol
manufacture, he drew his inspira-
ton from Indian, Aztec, Mexican
and Incaaic motives. 1t is this
group of designs that will constitute
the exhibition. 'Nhey are typically
Bakst in line and color and the
stylistic treatment of motif, but
they are recognizably American, and
strike an entirely different note
from the exotic, oriental stage dec
orations that first brought fame To
the artist.

Pool Trade Interests

The people of this country do
not appear to understand how
rapidly and how determinedly the
financial and industrial interests
of Europe are organizing to gain
control of world trade.
France and Germany, which we
still regard as mortal enemies, are
not only pooling their interests
against us, but drawing other
countries into the combination.
More formidable than the Steel
Trust about which there has been
SO much talk, is the recently
formed Chemical Trust which in
cludes England, France, Ger
many AND Belgium, which is
capitalized at 1,O00,000,OO0 and
which already controls an export
trade nearly three times greater
than ours in its own peculiar field.

Asleep on Commerce

The United States cannot go to
sleep on the idea that it is safe,
because it has such an enormous
gold reserve, or that it needs no
ships, because it can deliver so
much raw material to its own
wharves and warehouses for the
ships of other countries to take
away If they feel so inclined.
Outside of actual cash, the rest
of the world is not half SO
dependent on us as we imagine
and we cannot hope to keep our
trade if we let others gain con-
troll of agencies that are essential
to its security.

Labor Agitator-1927 Model

Slowly we are learning that low wages for labor do
not mean necessarily high profits for capital. We are
learning that increasing wage level is wholly con-
sistent with diminishing commodity price level. We
are learning that an increasing productivity of labor
is not measured alone by the hours OF work. nor even
by the test of physical fatigue in particular job
What we need to deal with are not the limits to
which men may go without physical exhaustion but
the limits within which they may work with zest and
spirit and pride of accomplishment.

viding for our famies-not merely clothes and food
and shelter while we are working, but insurance

portunities for ourselves and children? In word,
are we free men?

Small Countries Lead

Seventy years ago, the United
States divided honors with Great
Britain as mistress of the sea. To-
day the United States would be in
fourth or fifth place but for its
coastwise trade.
Last year Italy built more ships
than we did, and such small coun-
tries as Norway, Spain and Hol-
land are running us a close race
in deep water commerce. Practi-
cally all the great international
lines operate under other flags,
though the bulk of their freight
and passenger traffic originates in
American enterprise and is sup
ported by American money.

Removal of a haven for buns"
was sought by south side resident
today in a letter to Mr.. Fixit.
Dear Mr.. Fixit; Close to the Belt
Railroad. between English Ave. and
Southeastern Ave, there is shack
that was used by the city workers
when they were dumping there. 1t
is not in use now and is a haven
for tramps and buns. Do you think
it possible for us to have it torn
down or removed? G.. w. S.
Building Inspector w. A. Osbon
said he would investigate the
complaint and have the structure
torn down if it is a menace.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: Would be very
much pleased if you would induce
the ash collector to call in rear Of
2168 N. Capitol Ave. and remove
ashes that have been there some
ten months. d. M. II.
Truly Nolan, ash collection SUI
perintendent, said your request
would be granted.
DR.. Mr. Fixit: A traffic officer =
very much needed at the intersec-
ton of E. Tenth st. and MasSaShn-
sets Ave. If you will observe the
traffic at that point you will agree
with us, especially at morning ano
evening rush hours. Kindly use
your influence. MOTORISTS
Police Chief Claude M. Worley
will survey the intersection a:
your request. The present number
of traffic officers make it practi-
cally impossible to station poles
at all such crossings.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: Just line TO ten
you the needs of Douglas Park. Mar
tindale Ave. and Twenty-fifth st.
The city does almost everything to-
it except what should be done. We
need cinder sidewalks very badly as
the paths are bad on wet days. See
after this, please, we need some
suitable walks. j. G.
Clarence Myers, parks secretary,
said the board has a definite pro-
gram in mind for the epark. Re-
pair of the shelter house is holding
up the work as the board desires
to work out landscape scheme
before building walks. Be patient
and you will get what you want.

Insult After Injury

Mavor DuvaIl announces that tonight be-
fore ward political club he will defend his
administration.
Great plans are made and there will speak
in his behalf two lawyers.
They are not the lawyers who spoke in his
behalf before twelve men few weeks ago
when the subject matter was limited to sworn
testimony of witnesses.
These lawyers have a wider latitude They
will not be compelled to confne themselves to
facts which have been established by evidence.
These other lawyers are those who are
drawing salaries from the people of this city
through the usurped power of Duvall. They
cannot be viewed exactly in the light OF dlsln-
terested pleaders. They have reason that is
apparent.
They want to hold their jobs.
The appeal of Duvall to the ward clubs is
the appeal from the referee to the fans.
What the mayor forgets and what these
satellites and jobholders forget is that the
courts have passed upon his case.
He is under sentence to Jail for thirty days.
A Jury has said that his corrupt acts and bar
gains and secret deals which he made to delude
the voters of this city were of such a character
as to bar him from holding office from the date
of his election.
That verdict was rendered after he had
trial before jury of citizens, carefully
selected
He was defended by lawyers who have been
very successful in the past in securing favor
able verdicts for officials who have been
similarly accused. So famous were these
lawyers in this direction that when they were
announced as his defenders, those of gambling
tendencies were ready to wager that there
would be at least mistrial.
They stood at the side of Duvall when he
was forced to face the facts as told by men
who were upon their oaths to tell the truth.
The facts, in the eyes of that jury and de-
spite the efforts of these very shrewd and capa-
BILE lawyers, damned Duvall.
The unftness of Duvall is now conclusively
proved by this very effort to 60 out and arouse
hatreds and appeal to his followers, to herd to-
gether the political workers. to appeal for SYM
pathy after he has been given justice.
In the meantime the city government is in
SuCh COnQlC1On LndG every pubic dcC Is queS-
tionable.
We have chaos The banks refuse to take
bonds of this city.
Every payment Of money is Of doubtful le-
gality. Every act Of the mayor is subject to
legal question
If John Duvall, whose only hope of holding
office is that the Supreme Court may find some
technical reason for disturbing the verdict of
the jury, really wishes to perform service he
would tell that meeting tonight that he is ready
to resign.
Officially, he has no standing as a citizen.
A jury has said that he has forfeited his rights.
It is significant that no attorney who is not
financially interested in having him hang to
his job is pleading his cause.
The mayor, as usual, has missed the point.
He fails to realize his own situation. He is not
mayor defending his official acts.
A jury of his peers has said that he has
been so corrupt as citizen that he is untitled
to hold any Office.
That is his status as he appeals to mobs
and not to courts.

To the Editor:
We read of the investigation to be
held following the terrible catas-
trophe of Friday night, and really
we're 1t not so appalling it would
tend to cause one to look on this
phase as huge joke.
The writer has been a resident OF
indianapolis for the past year and
many times during this period has
pointed out to your residents the
menace offered by unguarded cross
ings in every part of your State.
Why investigations, l ask, when
the simple remedy of placing gates
at crossings with an attendant
would solve the problem. and 90
away with the need of investiga-
tons and save thousands of lives in
due course of time.
Hardly a week passes without an
article chronicling the fact of a
crossing fatality and after these lit
tie white crosses are erected at the
spot calling to mind thai some OF
your citizens foolishly drove across
the railroad and traction companies
franchise given property.
In Europe and most parts of these
United States where gates are in
stalled one rarely reads of cross
ing accident, and if the human ele-
ment enters and makes it possible,
there is no need of an investigation
to fix the blame.
Get out your files for the past
year and count the toll of lives taken
by this agency and then figure
whether or not the compelling OF
the railroad and traction companies
to build gates would not be a good
move for the communities at large.

HOLD TURKEYS FOR

That few turkeys in northeast

ion of several turkey growers who
have visited the county extension
Office during the past few days,
and growers are being cautioned
against heavy marketing at this
season. Birds that are apparent
ly we'll grown and should be in
shape for Thanksgiving market
are found to be pinny and as yet
unfit.
Northern Montana birds are
usually early enough that a few
can be put on the Thanksgiving
market to an advantage. How

very few turkeys have made salts
