Common Honesty

Such advice is good not only for
organized business, but for organ
lied society. The greatest need Of
America, as illustrated by the graft,
scandal and crime reported every
day on every hand is a return to
common honesty.
Lying, deceit and fraud have come
to play too conspicuous a part in
our life. To live within the law"
regardless of what such an attitude
may permit, has become too preva-
lent a conception Of uprightness.
Technical honesty never was and
never will be a genuine article
Where conscience ceases to be the
guide, justice is helpless.
A low conception of honor can
spoil the best code that was ever
written. There is no such thing as
a statute-made morality.
If the morality is there to begin
with, statutes which express it can
be made effective. If not, they are
worse than useless.

Editor Times:
1t seems strange that there is so
much opposition to the adoption of
Eastern time for the summer.
The same opposition was preva-
lent in Ohio All principal cities
adopted it during the summer
After a year or two the time to move
the time forward was looked for by
all classes. 1t became so popular
that the Legislature adopted it for
the entire State for all time.
There is no logical argument
against daylight saving time. Were
the same DIRECTORS to retire some
night and in the morning wake to
find the clock one hour faster, it
would be some time before they
would realize it.
I always have been supporter
of daylight saving ard always shall
be. Most of the cities of any i'm
portance adopt it, so why should In
dianapolis be a back number?
Just because the city is oVerrun
with jay-walkers and far behind in
traffic regulation is no reason why
the city should be q holdout on the
daylight saving plan.
It has been claimed it should
and would be unhealthy for school
children. Really this is an idiotic
assertion. The school children
would figure in this Tor only few
weeks at most.
It looks like the DIRECTORS are
afraid of daylight. Well, the shop
in which 7 work is for it and in
event the city does not adopt day
light saving we shall, and as a
result shall have our gardens in
sbip-shape.
Here's hoping Earl Buchanan
gets this over. We know he is
progressive, but, gee whiz. how
many back numbers there are. 1t
is hard to believe. 1t takes a thing
like this to learn about the less
progressive.

Times Editor: DR.. Morgan and
our board of health have asked the
police department to issue orders
that all stray dogs found wander
ing the streets not properly tagged
be shot down, to curb the so-called
epidemic of rabies. Does DR.. Morgan
think that the dogs wearing tags
are toothless. Some of them will
bite you quicker than the old dog
that wanders the streets. He makes
friends with all.
DR.. Morgan wants to hire more
people to do this work. 1t would
be more to DR.. Morgan's credit if
he wanted to spend the money to
hire more men on our street clean

JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN, our
~ ambassador at Berlin, compli-
ments Germany on its prompt ac-
ceptance of Secretary Kellogg's plan
to outlaw war by treaty and the
French press becomes bitter in its
criticism.
The Temps is kind enough to as
sumo that Mr.. Schurman was guilty
of Exaggerated politeness." The
Gaulos thinks Mr.. Schurman chose
good opportunity to say that the
Kellogg plan was designed to pre-
vent another World War, but cannot
agree with the rest Of his speech.
The Echo De Paris thinks that
Mr.. Schurman has proved the neces-
sity of French reservations; recall
ing the violation of Belgium and
the sinking of the Lusitania; the
Figaro declares it never expected to
proclaim the same ideals as Ger
many, and the Ceurve wants AM
bassador Herrick to explain whether
we hold the same ideals and since
when.

Police Menace Gone

The New York police department
participated in another episode on
Sunday, showing the difference be-
tween technical and common sense
justice, when Patrolman Cohen

Irish Joe" has been thorn in

at last Venice was ashamed of be-
ing merely rich; and art and letters
came.
When painting arose it took on
all the warmth and color Of the
city. Venetion artists made can
vases and frescoes as bright-hued
as st. Marks; they did not care to
be pious like Raphael. or subtle
like Leonardo, or sublime like
AIichelangelo; they thought in
images and feelings, not in ideas;
they had no intellect, but they had
eyes and fingers all a-tingle with
the texture of the world, the del
icacy Of rich garments, and the
warm lure Of a woman's breast;
never was art so sensual, and never
was sensuality so innocent and pro-
found.
Giorgione and Correggio, Titan
and Tintoretto and Paul Veronese
seldom thought of going beneath
a woman's beauty to her soul, as
da Vinci did, or of expressing q
theology and an ethic as Michel
angelo did; they were content with
the visible splendor and pageantry
OF life, and sought no ultimate
significances; they distrusted meta
physics, and suspected truth.
Il
CONTRAST the busy and pugna-
" cious FlOrentines: they thought
as well as felt, and therefore took
to line as well as color, seeing
structure behind form; Michel
angeo made drawing the basis of
all art; and Vasari reproached
Titan for painting immediately
from nature and not making a pre-
paratory design, imagining that the
only and best way to obtain a good
design is tO Use color at once with

The Pulitzer Award
BY GEORGE B. PARKER
Editor lin Chief Scripps- Howard Newspapers

-Four years ago the Ku-Klux Khan was the
State" in Indiana Riding on wave of re-
hgious and racial bigotry, super government
had come to hold dominion over common
wealth Before it, politicians covered and
many private citizens, fearing the strange
force, did obeisance.
The word of the dragon was the word of
law, and the mask and the robe and the threat
Of punishment were the tolls of it's enforce
ment Against all who opposed, war was de-
clared-bitter, ruthless, costly war.
In October, 1924, The Indianapolis Times
met the issue as follows:
GA government for the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people
Cor
ga government of the people, by the Klan,
and for the Khan.
F'That's the issue.
L cit overshadows all other issues.
4 s|Party lines are fading.

Republican or an independent But, instead,
are you Klan or anti-Klanf
''The Times wants no misunderstanding as
to It's attitude.
Accordingly it is herewith printing in
type that you can read while you run
''The Times is anti-Klan.
''Our Nation. was conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the principle that all men are
created equal
''The Khan was conceived in secrecy and
bigotry and dedicated to the principle that all
men are not created equal.
'FThereby the Khan strikes at the very vitals
of our national life
"And The Times is not willing to see gov
eminent by class substituted for government
by the people"
The Khan counter attacked instantly.
Within week, boycott had cost 1900 cir
culation, more than one-fourth of The Times
total, and the long, long battle had begun.
The story Of that struggle is told elsewhere
in today's issue in connection with the award
to The indianapolis Times of the most coveted
honor in iournalism-the Pulitzer award "for
The most disinterested and meritorious public
service rendered by an American newspaper
during the year-for its work in exposing
political corruption in Indiana, prosecuting the
guilty, and bringing about a more wholesome
state of affairs in civil government"
The year Of 1927 brought the victory-and
the reward. The fruits of accomplishment are
sweet, naturally. And the entire Scripps-
Howard organization is happy in the recogni-
ton that has come to one Of it's members.
But, after all, such recognition, deeply ap-
IL
a by-product rather than the main objective.
The spirit. Of true journalism is a spirit of
courage and of service. Without it, there is the
shell, but not the substance.
With it journalism succeeds, and the honors
follow in one form or another as matter of
course.
Lacking it, failure is inevitable. Trite
though the saying may sound, courage and pub
lie service in journalism are their own reward.

Lyndonville. N. Y.. Feb. l0.-tR9 During half a century in the little village of Lyndonville, Dr. Charles E.. Fairman has wrested sufficient time from the demands of a country physician's practice to win inter- national recognition for hts work in science.
