The Presidents Prediction

President Coolidge foresees increased production of
goods during 1928. This, he says, will that
greater number of persons will have things which
heretofore have been denied them since abundance
of goods will mean wider distribution.
The President no doubt is right in his prediction
The outstanding fact in economic life in recent
years has been the greater output of factories not
only in total volume, but in the amount each
poyed has produced There is little to believe
that this process will be checked, at least for long
time.
Labor is abundant, and SO are capital and credit.
The problem in fact is not to obtain any of these
things 1t is rather to find markets for the increasing
flood of goods and to find uses for the enormous re-
serves of capital that have been accumulated.
The development of credit buying vastly has in
level has enabled wage learners to buy more Our
SURPRISES have made possible the widespread of
many uxliries such the radio And still the prob
lem remains.
This condition never before has existed in Anleri
can history and apparently one has any clear idea
of just where the economic currents carrying
Many theories believed sound have had to be aban-
doned, and the PHILOSOPHERS of producing, buying,
selling and consuming, have undergone many changes
Since the future seems obScured, perhaps we
should stop worrying about it, We have one genuine
problem which deals wholly with the present That
problem is to see that increased production and great
err wealth benefit all of us; to that the millions
whose labor makes possible the thing of which the
President speaks gets their just share of what is pro-
duced.

Bettering the Race

Certain learned men, converting with their peers
at the Race Betterment Conference in Battle Creek
Mich express fears that the better stock of the race
is dying out
Successful people-people who make money attain
leisure get educatonsare not reproducing as fast
poor people AS result, the population is increasing
through its weakest members, not through its
strongest.
So the plant voiced at Battle Creek.
1t is risky business for layman to dissent from
the opinion of scientist Yet it seems to us that
these men worrying themselves unduly. In fact it
even seems if there just trace of snobbish-
ness in their remarks.
The expression, better stock" sounds suspicously
like upper classes, somehow One fears that some
where there is feeling that the children of college
professor, for instance in the nature of things
worthy and more valuable to the race than the
children of Giuseppe, the pick and-shovel man.
With such feeling must disagree emphatically.
For the entire point of our American democracy
is that children OF Giuseppe need not grow up to be
pick -and-shovel men if they do not want to. The
State will give them all the education they are capable
of assimilating We submit that Giuseppe's children
every bit likely to be physically and mentally
sound the college professors Our form of govern
ment and society give them every opportunity If it is
in them to RISE there is reason why they can not
themselves enter the ranks of professors or stock
brokers or newspaper editors, or possibly movie
orchestra conductors.
For ourselves, we are not in the least worried by
the fact that the birth rate is lower among college
graduates than among the poor. We not help
remembering that some of the greatest men born
in America came from what Race Betterment
friends might call the clover classes"
If you interested thinking of such men
as Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford Walt Whitman,
John D. Rockefeller-and SO on, ad infnitum.

now since Indiana is learning
what temptation the banking of
State funds has evidently proven
to our officials, some definite re-
form will be tardily taken. How
ever, records of the statehouse
will show, to the everlasting honor
of Robert Bracken, the last Demo-
cratic auditor of State, that he
sought upon more than one occa-
sion to compel the McCray adj
ministration to pro-rate State de-
posits entirely upon the basis of
capitalization of banks. 1t seems
evident at this late day, why Gov
ernor McCray fought this move
so stubbornly and why Governor
jackson, head of the present fl
nance board of Indiana, has con-
tinued to permit huge sums to be
deposited in small banks for no
evident reason in the world.
Perhaps the Walb indictments
ultimately will bring out what con-
nection the head of a political or
ganiZation has with determination
of State depositories-and how
much lubricant such a system fur
nisheS the invisible mechanism of
the machinery which has been
perpetuating the G. o. P. in power
in Indiana.

DiSfranChiSe Ignorance

DR. William j. Hickson, head of
the psychopathic laboratory of the
municipal court of Chicago, wants
ignorance DISTINGUISHED. He says
that "the balance Of political power
should be restored to the better
mentally endowed"
So say we all. but just how is it
to be done? Who are the better
mentally endowed and how are they
to be picked? !.

Doctor Hickson, but there is more
than mere intelligence to be con-
sidered if eradication of crime is the
object to be accomplished, which is,
what Doctor Hickson says he has in
mind.

Leopold could have passed any sort

A good many persons at this
time are demanding a New Deal"
and a House Cleaning" by the
Republican party. Several of those
who would change conditions de-
sire that all officials be removed
from Office and new ones put in
their place. This would not rem
edy the situation as it affects In
diana. No doubt it is true that
there has been misconduct in Of
flee and that some Republican Or
f1cials may have committed
wrongs, but this is not sufficient
reason for a general house clean
ing. There are many conscientious
Republican officials in Office who
are discharging and have dis
charged their duties faithfully and
in accordance with law. Just be-
cause some of their fellows have
made mistakes is no reason why
they should be made to suffer. We
have enough faith in the Repub-
lican party to know that il will
do the right thing.

To the Editor: United States
Secretary of Labor James j. Davis,
in discussing the question of labor
and capital, ignores entirely the
land question ond no doubt believes
in the socialistic Iron law of
wages" He is on a par with the
one-time head of the Knights of
Labor, who declared that every time
he drank bottle of pop he broke
the bottle, so as to make more work
for the bottle -makers-Why stop at
pop bottles? Both are and were

into the matter. Mr.. Davis is a
protectionist and why should he not
be, since the United States tariff

native country to Elwood, Ind, look

his christmas greeting to the peo-
pie of Indiana" he thanks them for
having taken him out of the mills
by electing him city clerk Of Ell
wood and recorder of Madison
County. Yet, to be consistent, he
should thank the so-ealled protec-
tive tariff, better called "a legal
lied hold-up."
In the face Of the following from
Washington, D. c., how much longer
will our Republican orators seek to
brighten us with the "free-trade
bugaboo?" DR.. Julius Klein, chief of

ports for 1927 amount to $685.
100000. This includes $3.50 100000
in steel alone; also, automobiles,
machinery and Office fixtures. He
adds that this should efTectually
dispel any remaining fears as to the
futility of our competing with the
reviving trade masters of the old
world" Quite recently there have
been strikes in Germany for higher
wages. so let not our upholders of
that obstruction to trade, the tariff.
have us believe that Europeans will
be satisfied with any kind of wage
in order to compete with America.
Why will not the Democratic
party call The bluff of our Repub-
lican platform makers who will try
it again on the unthinking public?

About 500 B. G. the monarchy was
overthrow by a group of warlike
mobiles or "partricianS," who set up
an artistocratic republic under the
historic aegis of "the senate and

The senate, as its name revealed,
was gathering of the old men of
the tribe, heads of established fami-
lies; it ruled the state with practi-
cally absolute power, limited only
by two consuls (advisers) whom the
land-owning citizens annually chose
from the ranks of the mobiles them
selves.
AS the "plebs," or common peo-
pie, grew in number, it rebelled
against these limitations, and forced

in way fully to protect our interests and make
friends for the United States among Latin Americans
at the same time.
The cue came from other than Dr. Juan

government, whose capital was at Puerto Cabezas.
Dr. Sacasa offering to eliminate himself entirely from

two or more South American republics to coouerate

It sounds pathetically true, not

1t sounds like an indictment from

although they had occurred before,
