The First TO Buy

There is no particular merit in
contracting for electric lights these
days. Everybody does it, and what
everybody does is common place.
Forty-six years ago, when Richard
Kolb put in his application for
electric lights it was different.
He was one of fifty-nine in a city
Of several hundred thousand who
dared take a chance, and the fact
that he was is still looked upon as
a good reason for giving more than
passing notice of his death.
Forty-six years hence someone
may receive similar honor as among
the first to buy a fuellesS motor, but
do not be too sure of it.
Lots of people have been among
the first to buy things only to re-
pent it.

Famous Zinovieff Note

Speaking of Russia, what about
the zinovieff note which has found
the limelight once more after hi
bernating for three years?
Was it a forgery, as most people
believed, put forward to destroy the
labor government in England, or
was it genuine in spite of Russian
denial? Was it published with
sharp rejoinder by the British labor
government as a grand stand play
just before election, as conservatives
have charged, or was its publication
forced by an editor who got pos
session of it in some mysterious
manner?
Some one knows the truth about
that note, and for the sake Of his
tory. if for no better reason. he
ought to tell it

What Other Editors Think

In literature, Indiana leads the
profession and has done so for
many years. In the newspaper,
magazine and advertising fields,
look at the big men-Indiana men
and women who rank at the top.
We will speak of material re-
sources later.
Do not worry about whats the
Matter With Indiana?" just think
of the poor disgruntled grumblers
and GROWERS, pessimists-pressim-
lists every one of them who vent
their spleen on one of the "Top
Notch States of the Union" and
the grand people who live in it.
Let the few crooks have what's
coming to them-and they are
getting it--some are already in the
penitentiary, and others will go
there.

Surgeons and the Knife

Charles Cook, Pauling, vice presi-
dent of the New York Central Lines,
def1ed the doctors and saved his
arm.
They told him, after gangrene had
set in, that he probably could not
live unless it were amputated, but
he said he would rather die than
have that done.
Many people have had similar ex-
periences, and it does not add very
much to the prestige of surgery.
Much as one may be impressed by
the things that can be done with
a knife, there is always the suspicion
that they might be done without il.
Accurate diagnosis is still the
greatest need Of the medical pro-
feSsiOn.

Hartford CITY News


That the people of Blackford
County are interested in the cam
didacy of Mr.. M. C. Townsend for
Congress was we'll substantiated
by the number Of his friends who
met at the courthouse and organ
lied a Townsend for Congress
club. The meeting was not only
in point of size a testimonial to
his popularity but the enthusiasm
shown for him assures him a large
vote in the primaries.
The people Of this county know
Clifford Townsend, they know his
good qualities, for they have
watched his career from boyhood.
They have confidence in his abil-
ity' and his honesty. While his
present home is in Grant County.
they claim him as a Blackford
County product.
Whether it has been in school
work, in war work or i'll farm
work Townsend has achieved his
reputation through work. He never
has been a man to lay down on
the job.
The people Of the eleventh dis
trict would have a man who is
not afraid to put in his time faith
fully in their behalf, if they chose
Townsend.
At Washington he would be
looking after the affairs of his
office and every hour would be
put in in the interest of the peo-
pie whom he serves. His record
in other offices has given ample
proof of this fact.

New Albany Tribune

A lot of parrots keep yawping
"What's the Matter With Indi-
ana?" They are insinuating that
the senate and its people are in a
perilouS state of affairs. That
everything is going to the DENIM
ton bow vows. Not so, wearer of
the goggles that distort and dis
color things Indiana ranks pretty
high in practically all the worthy
things of life that go to make for
success, prosperity and happiness.
You can enumerate many of
these yourself. For instance, In
diana ranks fourth in educational
efficiency. What State ranks high
er in the number of its colleges
and the high standing they main
tain?
Indiana has furnished more COL
lege presidents than any other
State. They must be of command
ing ability or they would not be
chosen to head the big schools in
so many other States,

Greatest War Losses

1t is not generally realized thai
of all nations engaged in the World
War; Russia suffered the largest
casualty list so far as numbers are
concerned. and the largest in per
centage with only one exception.
With an enrolment of 100000
men, Russia came out of the con-
fict with 100000 dead, 4,950,000
wounded and 100000 taken prisoner
or total casualties of 9,150,000, which
was more than 76 per cent.
Though the Austro- Hungarian
empire lost only about 100000 men
in killed, wounded and missing, its
casualty list amounted to 90 per
cent.
With that one exception, However.
Russia leads the line.
The casualty list of France
amounted to only 70 per cent, that
of Germany to only 81 per cent, that
of Italy to only 80 per cent, and
that of England to only 35 per cent.

Sacrifices of PEOPLE

Russia emerged from the World
War to find herself in the grip of
revolution which caused further loss
Of life and property.
No one will ever know how many
of her people have died by violence
or from starvation since 1914.
Under the circumstances, is it not
curious fact that the outside
world should have so little sympathy
for Russia?
Making every allowance for the
way her political theories are
detested there would still seem to be
room for a more kindly attitude to-
ward her people.
However mistaken they may be,
they have certainly made heroic
sacrifices.

1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, or q given number Of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at time.
3. You must have a complete word
of common usage for each jump.
Slang words and authorizations don't
count.
4. The order of letters can not be
changed.

Editor Times:
AS a reader Of your great paper,
7 write in question of an item in
The Times Of March 2, of the Eek
oneration" of Detective Emmett
Englebright by the honorable Chief
of Police Claude M. Worley. 1t
seems the word "eXonerate" was a
little misplaced, for "exorbitant'
would surely have beer the word in
this case.
I trust the investigation Of Coroner
Charles H. Keever will justify the
murder" of this lad Of 20 years
and explain why this trial was dis
posed of so easily without a judge
and explain what weapons were
found on this lad Of 20 years and
reveal his criminal record and eX-
plain why and what the phrase
means, shoot to kill"
I wonder just what kind of city
is pictured of Indianapolis in this
mothers mind, if, without any
thought, a detective, an officer of
peace, will shoot to kill. 1t seems
that Mr. Englebright is this sensitive
and bent on clearing up the case
at one shot. whatever it might be,
and that, on the slightest crooked
move, his coworkers would be il
danger. wish the police and de-
tective force would place Detective
Englebright at the head Of the clean
up move and make indianapolis
what we wish 1t would be. I might
be many funerals, maybe some of
them very prominent.
I don't suppose you will print this,
but this is my view Of this matter.
I'm a citizen of Indianapolis and a
taxpayer.

see where Mr.. Kitselman, Re-
publican State chairman, predicts
Indiana will go Republican this fall
May I ask where Mr.. KitSelman
gets his information in so short a
time? Since becoming State chair
man I suppose he has been in
formed by big business that they
have the necessary cash to elect
whom they will, regardless of the
record of Jackson, Duvall, Coffin.
Marsh, the city councilmen and
others over the State.
The stencil of these men reaches
almost to the heavens. If Mr.. Kit
selman is an honest, good Christian
man why doesn't he denounce all
crooks in his party and drive them
out of Office, showing the people
that the Republican party of the
good old Hoosier State stands ready
to go before the people with clean
skirts and drive out its rotten poll
ticians?
What has happened since Jim
Goodrich was elected Governor?
Taxes have about tripled thousands
Of laborerS are out of employment,
farmers are losing their farms, small
city homes Of laborers are under
mortgage beyond redemption, small
country and town stores have had
a hard time to make ends meet,
many small banks are pressed to
accommodate their customers.
Face all this, Mr. Kitselman, and
then say Indiana will go Repub-
lican.
God forbid, under these circum-
stances, that the Christian people
of Indiana who go TO church and
pray God for His blessings will pray
or vote to have any more Repub-
lican rule, such as we have had the
past ten years.
Let us get back to the good ad-
ministration of Thomas r. Marshall
and Samuel M Ralston. Under their
administration. people were gen.
orally satisfied with taxes reason
able. If the taxpayers and voters
Of Indiana want what they have
been getting. let them vote the Re
publican ticket. II they want hon.
est government and a lower tax
rate, vote the Democratic ticket.
