Decrease.

By United Press
The influenza epidemic which has
gripped Indiana for the past two

day.
Reports from various sections of
the state indicated that the disease
was dying out gradually, not nearly
so many new cases being reported
the past twenty-four hours.
Reports from Anderson said that
the sixteenth death has occurred,
but the disease apparently was dy-
ing out, few new cases being an
nounced. The report added several
pneumonia cases had been reported.
DR.. o. P. Terry, Purdue uni
versity physician, announced that
he would make no recommendation
that the school be closed on account
of influenza, as only q few cases
were reported and they were not
serious. He believes that the peak
of the epidemic had been reachd.
From Indiana university came the

Gent to warrant closing.
DR.. F. N. Murray, Howard county
health officer, announced that near
ly $500 persons were afflicted with
the disease in the county, half of
them in Kokomo. He intimated
that the disease had about spent
itself.
From Garrett word came that
schools would be closed. More than
200 cases have been reported there.
The influenza epidemic in Henry
county is on the wane, according to
DR.. c. E. Canaday, county health
commissioner. He said that school

CARRYING OUT A PLEDGE

All the arguments pro" and CON relative to the
policy of the United States in Nicaragua leave the av
erage citizen qhe puzzled and yet the nations posi-
ton is clearly defined that needs little explana
ton.
The situation goes back to the Monroe Doctrine In
1919 we told Europe in Just many words that for
elgn nations must keep their hands off territory in
North and South America or we would hold them re-
sponsble.
This made it incumbent upon the United States to
see that conditions in the western hemisphere are so
conducted that the rights of European nations will be
respected.
1t is not thing for the United States to step
IN when local governments have ceased to function
properly IN the various Central American republics,
and conduct affairs until the local government had
been set in order. Not inch of territory has been
acquired as result of these temporary occupations
In the present instance the local government in Mic
aragua being unable to function, only carrying
out our pledge to the world in assuming command of
the situation there This is not imperialism" bv any
stretch of the imagination
To clinch our position further, the weak but legal
government of Nicaragua invited American nterven-
ton IN order to assure fairness in the presidential elec
ton which takes place this year.
1t is to be regretted that American lives must be sac
rifced in Nicaragua. On the other hand the word Of
the nation given to the world than 100 years ago.
is as binding upon today it was then.
The whole matter seems quite clear cut, but it can
be made to appear very complicated by politicians who
wish to make it so.

Earl Crandall, "a, of El Centre
was ordered held to answer to su-

agent So bill, marked, with which
to purchase the alleged liquor. They
testified that the agent later re-
turned and said he had made a

pint of alleged whiskey.

CHINESE ACTIVITY

Members of local organization had the pleasure of
listening yesterday to very interesting address on
China and the Chinese by a native of that country
The speaker held the attention of his audience through
out his discourse and they only regretted that time
placed limit upon it. The subject chosen was mex
haustible.
1t is perhaps coincidence that yesterdays papers
chroncled two events showing the varied interests
which the Chinese are devoting themselves One re-
ported Major Tien Lei Huang Chinese aviator arriv-
ing on the Pacific coast after flight from Washing
ton. The other announced that William T. Lai Ha-
waanC will go to the training camp with the
New York National league baseball team this spring
Major Huang plans to steal little Yankee thunder
next summer, by flying the Pacific to his native
land If he he will carry the best wishes of thou
sands of Americans we'll those of thousands of
his fellow-countrymen here.
1t would appear that Mr.. William T. Lai has chosen
more difficult field than trans-Pacific flights
He must labor for that "slave-driver" John McGraw
who is not by any means Chinese, and who is known
hard tasknaster.
Those of us who accustomed to thinking. of near
~ all Chinese as being laundrymen, vegetable growers
tong hatchet-men" must forsake our antiquated
ideas and recognize the fact that the Chinese can fit
irto the white mans sphere in very creditabe man
ner.

MINES AND MINERS

Coal miners strike in the Eas-and their families
as welfare suffering IN such a way that Senator
Hiram Johnson has been moved to urge congressional
investigation of their condition.
Monday p coal miners in Illinois were killed in
mine tragedy and the operating company very high
handedly chased newspapermen off its property and
the 1t not until the bodies had been
removed to public morgue that the suspense of these
families for their loved ones could be relieved proved
only too true
Unless the company had something to hide it would
welcome newspapermen and lend every aid and com
fort to the miners families until the extent OF the
tragedy was known. By acting IN the reported
the company indicates that 1t may not have been as
strict should have been in carrying out provisions
fer the safety of its workers. This however, would
not be new, as anyone who has lived in mining dis
trict attest.
Somehow mine accidents have peculiarly poig-
nant appeal to the public sympathy. The knowledge of
fellow humans being trapped far beneath the surface
OF the earth, like rats in cage, to meet horrible
death, grips attention tragedies the surface
cannot Go.
Those who daily risk their lives to produce necassi
ties and comforts for the rest Of u.s. deserving of
the greatest protection for their lives that human Skill
can devise. Failure to do this is murder as much as
using the gun poison.
When the miner transgrcsses the law he is punished
1t is somewhat different when it is the operator who
is at fault We hope the redoubtable Hiram will carry
mining condons-there appears to be need for such
probe.
