POST APPROVES PACT
Legion Unit Adds 0. K. to
Kellogg Treaty.

Letters reiterating their stand in
favor of the Kellogg peace pact
which at the same time ask passage
Of the navy cruiser bill have been
sent to Senators James Watson and
Arthur R. Robinson by John H.
Holiday Jr. American Legion post
and its auxiliary. The letters were
signed by Commander Stuart A..
Bishop and the auxiliary president,
Mrs. Harry G. Templeton.
The legion letter declared that It
yields to no one" in its advocacy
of the Kellogg peace pact, its alb
horrence of war and its effort to
abolish the same, but the post takes
the psoition that an adequate pre-
paredness is necessary to preserve
peace.
If this country had been prepared
with an adequate navy and army in
1916, Eve would not have been
obliged to enter the World war at a
useless expense of property and
lives" the letter says. I'VE we're
forced into the World war because
a foreign country, being contemptu-
Gus of our ability to protect our
selves, sank our ships and killed our
citizens, which would not have hap
pened had they known we we're pre-
pared to protect ourselves"

Legitimate Curiosity

TT is inevitable that the public
l. should have a lovely curiosity
as to the personal affairs of any
distinguished person. I will admit
that am among those who want to
know.
Elinor Wylie happened to have
social as well as literary promi-
nence. Her elopement, divorce and
subsequent remarriage were matters
of legitimate news interest and were
duly reported when the events we're
current.
Still, there Is such thing as a
sense of perspective. Surely the
poetry and the novels of Elinor
Wylie were vastly more important
than the romance of her life. But
rewrite men never forget. If Miss
Wylie won a literary prize or wrote
new book the announcement of
this fact was always supplemented
with brief resume of the adven-
lures of her youth.
And when a great poet dies 1t
seems to me that the news lies dis
tinctly in the fact that the great
poet is dead. The rest is irrelevant.
I wouldn't print it.

Parents of Peru Man
Heartened by Letter
From West.
BIZ Times EpeciaE

BIZ Times Special
PERU, Ind, Dec. 21.-Eope is held
by Mr.. and Mrs. John Sparks here
that their son, Ira G. Sparks, who
has been believed the victim of
Philippine Island cannibals, still
lives.
A letter from H. Shivers, Los An
geles, Cal, leads the former Peru
mans parents to hope that he es-
capped a fate which had been so
generally accepted that a suit to
declare him legally dead has been
filed in Miami Circuit court here.
The letter from Shivers, dated
Dec. II, follows:
"For your information, the I'M
dersigned resided in the Philip
pines and the city of Manila, cap
ital, for many years and just came
back from Manila in May, 1928.
"Your son, Mr.. Sparks, landed
on the Posay Beach, Manila. I am
not sure, but think it was in 1926,
in his little boat. He was taken
into custody by the officers for
having firearms in his possession
without a license. He stated he
was on his way to Jerusalem, I
we'll remember.
''You might obtain further in
formation by writing to the chief
of constabulary, Manila, Philip
pine Islands. Hoping this will be
of some interest to you, a dear
old mother. Very sincerely.
IAN UNKNOWN FRIEND"
Ira G. Sparks left here in 1924,
saying he had been called to preach.
Shortly afterward, he gained nation
wide notoriety when he hid in a
packing case and was placed aboard
Pacific ocean ship bound for the
Hawaiian Islands.
At Honolulu, Sparks was discov-
cred and put ashore. He built a
small boat and embarked in it for
the Holy Land. The boat was found
on the shore of an island in the
Philippines group, known to be in
habited by cannibals, and since that
time no word has been received
concerning him.

CITY URGED TO
ACT At ONCE
IN GAS deal
Engineering Society RapS
Trustees Stand on
Court Moves.
REPORT IS GIVEN SLACK
Recommendation Is Made
That Contract Clauses
Be Enforced.

Mayor Slack today had before
him a report of a special commit
tee of the indianapolis Engineering
Society, approved by the society
criticising avowal of Citizens Gas
Company trustees that they favor
turning the gas company property
over to the city. and urging city
officials to take immediate steps to
insure the city ownership of the
plant.
The report was approved by the
society, meeting Thursday noon at
the Board of Trade.
According to terms of the con-
tract which gas company trustees
entered into when the company OBJ
tanned its franchise to operate it in
1905, the board of works may direct
the company directors and trustees
to raise money to redeem the corr
mon stock Of the company nv
gaging the plant.
This must be done not less than
six months before the date set for
conveying the property to the city
and the board of works should d i,
so at an early date, the committees
report declared.
Has Large Surplus
The report also pointed out that
tho 1oet nn,,,ynorox, etofapoay& 70 Tho
public service commission at the
end of 1927 showed the gas company
has surplus of $1,004,484, doubt
less greater at this time, which
should be applied by the directors
to redeem common stock, which, &C
cording to the contract, must be al
redeemed before the company car
be acquired by the city.
Referring to the recent statement
of the gas company trustees that
they favor the city taking over the
plant, but will not do so until di-
rected by a court Of last resort, the
report said:
This proposal nets nothing at all
We all do what we are required to
by court of last resort, unless we
can get a pardon. The committee
is of the opinion that if this is the
attitude of the trustees and direc-
tors, it becomes indispensable that
appropriate action be started to get
the matter on the way to f1na!
decision. It takes long time to get
a case through courts Of last resort"
Other recommendations Made
The report also recommended:
That the city require the COM
pany trustees to make the semi =
annual financial reports required By
the contract.
That the city controller act
promptly on his right and duty to
investigate the gas company books
That the city engineer at once
act on his duty to inspect the COM
pany plant and property.
That the trustees be urged, when
new directors are elected in Janu-
airy, to elect only directors who
definitely and Internationally are
committed to prompt performance
of the contract" which provides the
city be given ownership in 1890.
That, If legislation is needed to
make city ownership of the utiliti'
possible, steps to secure it be taxed
at once.
The report expressed the faith OF
the society Gin our institutions and
in the present city administration
that it will provide sufficient safe
guards around the selection of trus-
tees and the management of the
plant and property so that it will
be operated successfully for the
citizens"

Spiritual or Material?

4 extended research in the near
future concerning coupled words
which are held to be mutually ex-
elusive. The Freudians have con-
Weed many of us that love and hate
are no. precisely split by an I'M
bridged chasm. Doctors grow less
glib in speaking of organic and in
organic maladies.
1t is not easy to draw a sharp,
strong line to split up mind and
matter. And mostly I am con-
cerned with the familiar antagonism
which is supposed to exist between
soul and body. 1t seems to me that
these definitions have become hor-
ribly confused.
A fundamentals living in daily
dread of eternal birthstone and in
hope of gold and jasper haven is
said to be spiritually-minded. Why
is that? His concept of a future life
is rigid and material. When man
bargains with his Creator and offers
prayers and good deeds in return
for a slightly deferred claim upon
harps and milk and honey fail
to find much in his thinking which
I should regard as spiritual.
Nor do 1 see why an agnostical
mystic, who says, 81 don't know"
should be set down as materialistic.
Doubt is not among the meaner
capacities of the mind.

are not necessarily antagonistic

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-12-21
RELIGION or Neqation

A THEISM itself, I should class
IN as religion. At least 1t has
it's dogma and its heretics. Indeed,
I think the followers OF this faith
would do well to draw up articles
of faith and eXcommunicate back
sliders. There is a fearful amount
of Schism among agr1Ostics. Many
subconScious mind seems welded to
a belief in survival after death. The
intellect cannot extirpate it.
Only the other day read a story
OF the will left by an atheist, who
made particular provision that
there should be no religious service
at his funeral. After his death
some female relative disregardeo!
the old mans wish and read the
burial service of the Episcopal
church beside his grave. That,
hold, was rather mean trick.
But getting back to spiritual and
material things, I hold this false
distinction has done great harm III
the world. There is g lift and an
ecstacy in tangible things.
A statue cast in bronze achieves
both material and spiritual beauty.
Even food and drink should not be
sneered out of court as things gross
and physical.
Body and soul are acquaintance
who should be friends. There is no
reason for antagonism between
them. Legs of the proper sort NAV
be as physical as you please. but
who would deny them spiritual sig
nificance. Complete divorce be"
tween mind and matter is not pos
sible. The same stuff lies in each
