Good Money in Whaling

The vastfold district of Norway,
where many of the old Vikings had
their homes, is still the recruiting
region Of one of the most romantic
callings of modern times-whale
hunting. Leaving their small farms
in the care of wives and children,
the men set out for south Georgia
and the Ross sea in September and
return at the beginning of the fol-
lowing summer. The Norwegian
whale hunting fleet numbers about
20 ships and employs 1000 men.
The work is very hard, but is ex-
traordinarily well paid, every man
receiving a royalty from the catch.
Some men average $4,000 year,
and the ablest, after years of good
service, Is trusted with the har-
pooning.

Colonists Not Blind
to Beautiful THINGS

The gold and silver trades Of
America are among Its oldest and
most picturesque Industries and
have played not unimportant part
In our history. The earliest set
tiers brought with them treasures
In gold and silverware from their
homes in England, France and
Holland. Although the Puritans
frowned on the vanity of personal
adornment they brought large sill
yer buckles to wear on their shoes,
and women wore brooches.
At an early period craftsmen
skilled In making beautiful things
of gold and silver crossed the At
lantic and continued their work in
the new land. The first gold and
silyersrhiths in the colonies did all
their work by hand, using few and
simple tools. In general, each ar
fist knew how to work in all met
ais. He made variety of articles
brooches, rings, forks, spoons and
the larger pieces of silverware for
the table.
One of the best known crafts
men Of the early period of our ma
tive art was Paul Revere. His IA
Their had been a silversmith and
Paul inherited the business when
nineteen. Like other artists of his
time he was extremely versatile
and could engrave crests and coats
of-arms, made bookplates and
prints, carve wooden frames for
portraits, cast bells and design and
execute silverware.

NOBEL Club

The members of the Asparagus
club" call themselves a "bunch,"
but they are hardly that because
they are scattered all over the
United States and Canada, with a
member in London and another in
Odenburgh. The members are con-
nected directly or Indirectly with
the grocery business and 1t origi-
mated among delegates on a train
bound for the national convention
Of the Association Of Retail Gro
GERS in May, 1909. 1t was decided
to call it the Asparagus club" be-
cause asparagus is connected with
the grocery business and naturally
suggests a closely bound bunch"
Then each member was dubbed Q
'tip."

This year shows a large in
crease in enrolment in the Sank
Centre Public schools. The grade
rooms are all taxed to capacity.
The enrolment in the Senior and
Junior High Schools is as follows:
Seniors, 38, Juniors, AZ; Sophie
mores, So; Freshman, 70; 9th

The City Manager Plan Committee Says:

Mill said, 1.-THE business of the
power. For this reason, councils
are commonly forbidden by the
charter to dictate appointments or
dismissals or deal with the admin
istrative service except through the
manager. This, together with the
fact that there is a single head to
the administrative service, makes
the line of authority and RESPONSE
bility unmistakable.
If the departments fail to give
service to the citizens, the latter
know that the manager is to blame
for not correcting the condition and
that final responsibility rests with
the council for not discharging an
incompetent manager.
Since no matters Of opinion or
policy are involved, the council is
more fitted to select the manager
than the voters. 1t can investigate
his references, look up his record
in detail, interview him and even
visit cities he has formerly managed
things which the voters could
not do.

BOISheViSn1 Destructive

The civilized world recognizes the
destructive influence of Bolshevism,
but for some inscrutable reason it
fails to see the equally destructive
influence Of FaScism.
Perhaps the most amazing aspect
Of this day and generation is the
popularity which Benito Mussolini
enjoys, not only in Italy, but in
countries whose traditions, laws and
political systems are utterly opposed
to his theory of government.
AS a matter of common sense, his
efforts are bent toward setting the
clock back five centuries.
He already has done more to de-
stroy the guarantees of constitu-
tional liberty which were developed
through the British, French and
american revolutions than any liv-
ing man.

Don't Be Doubtful

Canvasses by those interested in the change to
a city manager form Of government indicate that
many people are still doubtful on this question.
The election will be held on June 81, one week
away On that date the politicians will know
whether they have succeeded in scattering enough
suspicion to permit them to keep the present archaic
system.
While it is difficult to understand why there
should be any hesitation the part of any votes
over making this change, it is difficult to
understand why there should be any doubtful attitude
1t is a matter on which every one can easily make
up his mind
Experience in other cities and the testimony Of
residents of those cities which have adopted it
that the city manager system has brought many
benefits and no evils.
Experience with the system in this city has shown
that it has resulted only in succession of scandals
But it has given the politicians very great power
in State and national elections.
The question would to be very simple.
If you like the kind of city government you have.
vote against the city manager system.
If you think that Indianapolis deserves something
better than government by the forces which have
controlled under succeeding administrations and
now in power get out of the doubtful class and vote
for the change.
There are those who believe, with good reason,
that no change could be worse than what have
at present.

My answer slip reads:
No. I. East should bid two
Hearts.
No. 2. East should bid one No
Trump.
No. 3. East should bid one No
Trump.
No. 4. East should bid two Clubs.
My reasons in support of these
declarations are:
No. /. A Heart answer is better
than a No Trump as it probably will
fit with the partners hand. South,
lacking Ace-Queen of his suit, may
not open it at No Trump; and in
that event East would win only one
Spade trick.
No. 2. The adverse suit is stopped
safely and the hand contains no
other four-card suit.
No. 3. A most unattractive situa-
ton. A Business Pass should never
be made with weakness; a bid is es-
sential and the choice is between
one No Trump and two Clubs. The
adverse suit probably is stopped and
the No Trump declaration is con-
tract to take only seven tricks,
whereas the two-Club declaration
calls for eight. Also. the Club bid
would deceive the partner concern
ing the number of Clubs; so No
Trump seems to be the lesser of the
two evils.
No. 4. Just as in No. 3, a bid is
essential. The choice, as in No. 3,
is between No Trump and Clubs;
but here there is little hope that
the Spades will be stopped. There
fore, the two-Club bid, although it
indicates four Clubs. will not con-
vey as serious transformation as
the No Trump which indicates a
stopped suit. In this case two
Clubs is the lesser evil.

Prospects of Peace

But for Russia and Italy, the
world could settle down to good
prospects of peace for generation
or two at least.
Though travelling in opposite d.
rections, these two countries have
one thing in common, ant that is
abandonment of political and So
cial order which the rest of the
civilized world has come to regard
as best.
Russia sponsors tyranny from the
bottom, while Italy sponsors it from
the top, but both have set aside the
basic idea of personal liberty on
which modern republicanism is
formed.

Thinking Out of Fashion

The habit of thinking appears to
have gone out Of fashion, especially
in terms of principle.
One hears nothing so common as
the opinion that while a third term
might be undesirablek there doesn't
seem to be any one available who
can take Coolidge's place.
This republic was founded on the
idea not only that people we're
capable of selecting their leaders,
but there always would be plenty Of
capable leaders to select.
If that idea is wrong, we might as
well abandon the republican form Of
Government.
If, on the other hand, it is right,
we ought to quit imagining that out
Of a nation of 100000 people
there is only one man fit to be

To the Editor:
Bringing it right down to brass
tacks, whose business is it, anyway,
if reputable physician prescribes
whisky in cases of serious illness?
For the life of me cannot under
stand why a man like E. S. Shu-
maker of the Anti-Saloon League
should object and undertake to stick
his nose in other peoples business,
law or no law. If practicing
physician and the patients family
feel that doses of whisky are bene0
fetal to sick man, woman or child,
why should it not be administered?
Dozens of different kinds of habit
forming narcotics and drugs are
given sick people without the least
protest on the part of men like Shu-
maker or any attempt to prohibit
them by foolish law. 1t seems to
me that when any man or woman
gets the prohibition bug in their

element of common sense and COM
mon fairness these people would or
dinarily be expected to exercise.
They become obsessed with a IA
naticism that borders on madness,
and which apparently renders them
incapable of functioning nationally.
There is no occasion for all this
-winded argument pro and con
over the necessity or non-necessity
of medicinal whisky. 1t is an indi-
vidual matter for each and every
physician to decide for himself.
based upon the desire of the pa
tent or those of his family who are
supposed to be in charge of the sick
room. 1t is truly amazing that in
the light of this so-called twentieth
century intelligence the people of a
State like Indiana would SO far
forget even the commonest elements
of tolerance and decency as to per-
NIT State Legislature to prohibit
the prescribing of whisky in cases
where a reputable practicing physi-
clan deems such remedy as neces-
sary to the patients well-being.

F ear of Communism

Fear of Communism has caused
many people to look with favor on
Fascism. That. and that alone, is
the only logical explanation of the
favor with which Fascism has been
treated, especially in other countries.
1t is the worst kind of illusion
ment, however, to suppose that one
extreme cures another.
The idea that dictatorship repre-
sents the best way to overcome radi-
cal tendencies is just as absurd as
was the idea that Napoleon repre-
sented a wholesome remedy for the
French revolution.
