Erasmus wondered whether one

Threat of BoISheviSnn

Business, like every other human
activity, has nothing to stand on,
nothing that will guarantee its per-
manent success, except that sense
Of justice and fair play, without
which no code or institution can
survive very long.
Let business degenerate to the
level of gambling, to a technique
which winkS at perjury. deceit,
fraud and corruption, and it will
soon go the way af all flesh.
Col: Robert w. Stewart, Harry F.
Sinclair, Edward L. Doheny, Albert
Bacon Fall, William j. Burns and
all the others who were mixed up
in this diSgraceful oil case have fur
nished the excuse for more effective
Bolshevist propaganda than has
come from Russia since the revolu-
ton of 1916.
Those men in whose hands has
been placed the control of American
wealth and industry have it within
their power, more distinctly than
any one else, to make this country
red All they need to do is abuse
tons to the limit, disregard public
interest, forsake the precepts and
maxims of the fathers which were
designed not only to make a decent
political system, but G, sound social
order, go back on that support of
sane Americanism which would
rather take loss than lie, and sub
Stitute jungle rule, which is none
the less jungle rule because it wears
fine clothes and sits at mahogany
tables.

CENATOR WALSH brings his oil

CENATOR WALSH brings his oil
, probe to a close with one Of the
most scathing reports ever written.
Though offering no recommended
ton, he points out that the probe
paid pretty well, since it enabled
the Treasury to collect 100000 in
taxes, while it only cost $4,000. He
might have added that 1t enabled
the Government to recapture its OF!
reserves, and that though no one has
been sent to prison, those involved
have been treated to such a dose
of the spotlight as will discourage
others from trying anything of the
kind for a good long time.
This is one case in which the
Senate did it's work we'll and cour-
ageously. SO, too, the Supreme
Court acted swiftly and sternly in
the protection of public interest. The
conspicuous failures occurred in the
jury box. 1t now remains to be seen
what business" has to say.

Shooting by Dry Agents

Rather sympathy than necessary has been
wasted bootleggers who have been shot down in
resisting officers
Yet the fact remains that the prohibition agent
or policeman who is too quick on the trigger is
menace to the community.
In Michigan recently prohibition agent saw
man river in a rowboat. He called to him to
stop, and shot when the failed to do The
killed 1t developed that he was an innocent
man and had not heard the officers hail. The dry
agent was sentenced to prison.
Friends of the dry agent asked Governor Fred W.
Green for pardon. Governor Green refused, saying:
st have no sympathy for officers who shoot first
and find out about it afterward. Just because
somebody doesn't jump at an officers command is
just reason for the officer to start shooting There
is altogether too much of this deplorable practice
going on"

Indiana At Her Best

This city today is host to countless thou
sands who come to what has become a great
international event.
There is something more than race or a
contest at the Speedway. 1t is the annual re-
minder that all civilization depends upon trans
portation and especially speed of transportation
and that Indiana has always been a leader in
the new means and methods.
This State has had glorious history and is
destined to have an even greater part in future
triumphs.
It's victories have been record, not alone on
battlefelds where men die, but in the peaceful
pursuits and accomplishments where men learn
to live more fully and completely.
There is something significant, perhaps, in
the fact that the head Of the great Speedway
race was this Nations most courageous ace
during the World War and that Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker, once the idol Of those who admire
daring and courage, is now turning these same
admirable qualities toward changing what were
once implements of war into the vehicles of
peace
These auto races are watched by automo-
tive engineers not alone for new devices Of
speed but for more safety. Just how much
they have contributed to the development Of the
auto now the universal means of transporta-
ton in this country, will never be accurately
timated, but it is not small.
1t is mistake to say that this Nation or
this day is dedicated to the God of Speed.
1t is dedicated to greater opportunities for
experience and fuller lives.
Indiana is proud of her great auto contest.
It is proud that here in this State is kept alive
the desire for greater things, better things.
Indiana, at her best, leads in encouraging
the perfection of mechanism in mechanical
age and in developing courage when life, in
its complexity, is in too great danger of be-
coming standardized.

Stand for Honesty

The oil scandal raises an issue
that belongs to business" and that
business" cannot evade.
Those responsible for the drift of
organized industry and finance are
squarely confronted with the ques-
ton of whether business" shall be
governed by a sense of common
honesty, or whether it shall develop
a technique which permits of lying,
stealing and plundering the public
under certain conditions.
This question is brought wildly
to light by the struggle now going
on between Col. Robert w.
Stewart, chairman of the board of
directors of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana and John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr.
Stewart is one of the four men
who organized the Continental
Trading Company and who stood
to make 100000 by the simple
process Of buying crude oil and
turning it over to companies which
they represented at a profit of Is
cents per barrel.
The company was dissolved when
this paper deal was less than half
completed and when only about
100000 had been realized
Stewart, Sinclair and O'NeiI turned
their share Of the Doodle back to
the companies they represented
when the pressure became too hot
Besides this, Stewart told two stories
to the Senate committee which were
so divergent that he has been
charged with perjury.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who owns
a good-sized block Of stock in the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
and who is recognized as a leader
not only in the oil industry, but in
the Nations business, believes that
such conduct should be openly re-
pudiated. His request for Stewards
resignation having brought no re-
suits, he is reported as doing what
he can to force it.
This brings the drama to a para
doxical climax, with the man of vast
inherited wealth standing for de-
cency, while the Self-made, get
rich-quick product of twentieth
century opportunisfn champions the
code Of shyster tactics.
Strange as it may seem, Wall
Street is inclined to believe that a
majority of the $4,000 stockholders
in the Standard Oil Company OF
Indiana will support Stewart, and
indorse his shrewdness rather than
Mr.. Rockefeller's stand for honesty

A Problem in Antiques

A New England has brought suit against
an antique collector. She charges that he induced
her to sell him, for $4,000, antique table, when he
knew at the time that the table was worth $4,000.
If she wins her suit antique collectors everywhere
will quake in their shoes. The whole game is finding
valuable antique and inducing the owner to sell it
for fraction Of its value.
The antique collector who, stumbling a Shera-
ton highboy in New England farmhouse, voluntarily
told the owner what it worth before offering to
buy it, yet is to be discovered.

Court Costs, $4,000

Pride, it was remarked long ago, goeth before a
fall
Evanston CID police the other day arrested a
Mrs w. F. PriInley, wife of a Chicago broker, for
speeding. She protested that her time was worth
$1,000 a minute and that she needed to hurry to
complete shopping trip.
But alas! The judge before whom she ar
raigned either didn't believe her else wanted to
inflict terrible penalty on her He fined her only
ST. but she had to wait forty minutes before her
was called.
Using her own figures, her appearance in court
cost her $4,000.

Editor Times:
If a mans life has been of such
value as to merit a memorial, and
that memorial has been created to
perpetuate his memory, does it not
seem that the memorial should be
placed where it may, at least, be
seen?
In our State library, which is
most creditable, under efficient and
helpful management, but taxed to
the utmost for space, are to be
found meborial busts of Lincoln,
Henry Clay, Suffer, Judge Neal,
Thomas A. Hendricks, Governor Ash
bel P. Willard, Daniel Voorhees, and
a plaster cast of a death mask of
Lincoln made at the time his body
lay in state in the old Statehouse
on April 30, 1865.
These are memorials to men of
character, outstanding in the his
tory of the State and Nation. On
account of the crowded condition of
the library many of these busts are
stored from public view.
On the second or main floor of
the Statehouse are many vacant
inches, built purposely for this
style of Statuary. Why not fill these
vacant spaces with the memorial
busts in the library? They would
at least be restored to view, at the
same time giving the needed space
to the library.

Editor Times:
Why is it permissible for a few
men to force the daylight saving
plan on us? The majority of the
residents of Indianapolis expressed
their disfavor of the plan-then a
few men passed the bill over the
veto Of the Mayor, and the plan ar
bitrarily is forced upon us.
Who is going to be the goat" of
this idea? Why Mother, the hard
est worked member of the family
now. Of course, it doesn't matter
if Mother has to arise an hour
earlier and get Father off to his
work-then when the school chill
dren arise get an extra breakfast
for them. Oh, no! If we possibly
can do anything at all to make
Mothers lot harder, let's all get
busy and pass some more wonderful
bills.
Mans work is from sun to sun,
woman'S work is never done" Had
they said Mothers work is never
DONE" it would have been so true.
Now with our new plan, Mother
can arise, get just as many break
fasts as is necessary to send mem
bers of her family to work, or school,
according to the different schedules
of time the different members OF
the family must observe. And again
in the evening, some will be home
by standard time and some by day
light savings, for their dinner.
And this is a free country, where
we can do as we desire. No, I'm not
one of the Mothers who will have
the extra work to do, the extra
breakfast to get, and the extra
hour added to my already overflow
ing work-day. But I have Mother
who will have just that much more
work added to her burden. AND
I'LL TELL THE FLAT WORLD I
DO NOT LIKE IT.
