posed would take US into the League Of Nations

posed move would take us into the League of Nations
through the back door," That is nonsense.
Soon or later the United States must face the facts
of modern warfare-that there can be no war without
affecting this countrys world interests That old
cepts of neutrality meaningless in age which
necessarily distinguishes between private and pub
lie wars" and that traditional definitions of contra
band can not apply to modern wars. which involve
civilian populations and which determined mainly
by economic weapons.
The Capper resolution is evidence that America is
beginning belatedly face this problem which other
nations, through the League of Nations, have been
facing for decade. But the League of Nations is not
the cause of that problem Neither is the League of
Nations the American solution proposed by Capper.
His resolution would empower the President. unless
otherwise provided by congress- to determine the vo
lator of the Kellogg pact and to apply an American
boycott against the offender Certainly that is quite
different from allowing the league or the league coun-
Gil to determine American action.
second important difference between this Amer
lean proposal and the league and Locarno provisions
for so-caed sanctions against an offender is that the
latter include use Of military and naval force.
The present international situation is paradoxcal
and dangerous because the United States which on
paper has outlawed aggressive war; is in position to
prevent league nations suppressng aggressive
war; Indeed, we in position now to furnish the
arms and supplies TO nation violating kellogg
treaty. and then go to ourselves against league
nations whose blockade against the aggressor inter-
feres with our freedom to aid the outlaw.
Here is one cause of the Anglo american disagree
ment over sea law and the new cruiser rivalry.
This issue is fundamental 1t will not be settled
in day. The solution probably will not be in the
exact form of the capper senate resolution or of the
similar Porter resolution introduced in the house yes
erday But that the solution will be along the general
lines of these resolutions, we do not doubt
Meanwhile, this issue deserves the best thought of
the American people.

TIE Court Is Safe

Rev. E. S. Shumaker in his prison cell.
The supreme court is safe now. 1t has declared
that those who lie about its decisions can be sum-

Undoubtedly there are many thousands in this
state who rejoice in the plight of the dry leader who

What Would Abe DoQ

IF Lincoln were to come back, he
a would find a changed world, but
he would find little difference in
adjusting himself to it, for his was
a type of soul not to be made or
marred by machinery.
How long would it take him to
learn to drive a car, figure an cleo
trio light bill, or talk over the radio?
Not SO long as it would take us to
get the knack of splitting rails.
AS for those bigger and older
problems, with which he strove-
the problems of justice and fair
play-he would find himself quite
at home.
Such cases as that of Asa Reyes,
former district attorney of Los An
geles, who has just been convicted
of conspiracy, and that of the in
vert, Northcott, who has just been
sentenced to hang for the murder
of three little boys, might shock
Lincoln, but would hardly surprise
him, while he would be on familiar
ground in dealing with such ques-
tions as that Of prohibition, Mica
ragua, or even German PREPARATIONS.

HARVEY FERGUSON, who used

which entities him to place among
the most interesting of our fiction
GERS.
The curse Of the profession has
not quite abated. One might think
that the reporter who turns liter

touch OF the conciseness, which is
hammered home in city rooms. But
he doesn't. And perhaps no one
should expect it.
When a man has written words

getting off on his own is something

form. In Those Days" is as COM

light to read. 1t moves through
decades at top speed leaving a great

Forgive Them, They Do Not Know

As an altitude toward the numerous mem
bers Of the legislature who voted, as far as they
could, to shackle this city with machine poll
s ties, the people might repeat the most famous
of all texts
1t is undoubtedly true that large numbers
of rural members of the legislature do not
understand that the fight for the city mana
ger plan in it's best form is fight for decency,
for honesty, for law and order.
They do not understand that the fight ts
emasculate and weaken that law is a fight for
a machine which has thrived in the past by
naming some thieves to Office, which has sold
privileges to bootleggers and other criminals,
which has collected tolls from gambling houses
and has been under suspicion of splitting loot
with thugs and highwaymen.
Surely they do not understand that the con-
test is simple in its terms. On the one side are
those who would make public Office serve the
public. On the other are those who frankly
SITE that they want to use these offices against
Che public welfare.
just why any member from any agricultural
scoiinty would desire to turn over the capital
city to the hands of politicians is difficult to
derstand.
The city manager plan has been adopted by
the people Of this city by a vote of more than
five to one
The election was held under law that has
been on the statute books for number Of years.
The plan has been tried in other cities and
found to work well. Cities which have adopted
it are now growing and prosperous, where be-
fore they were sodden, corrupt and stagnant.
Every decent force in this city is back of
the effort to protect the plan. Every crooked
influence is against it.
Certainly these fine farmers do not under
stand. They should be taught.

DAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. IL.
- Comes Feb. IL once more, with
the shadow of tall, gaunt man
looming out of the murk. America
pauses to pay tribute, and the rest
of the world is rapidly learning to
follow suit.
1t will be thus as long as human
history survives. Even though this
nation should perish, and the very
civilization which gave it birth,
the name of Lincoln will live on.
This barefoot boy, born to pow
erty and privat1on; this awkward
country lawyer, studying as he
tramped along the road; this poll
tician, who made himself popular
by telling funny stories; this rabid
abolitionist whom the party bosses
tried to Shelve; this man of peace,
who found himself forced to engage
in fratricidal war; this embodi-
ment of spirituality, whose love of
humanity never succumbed to the
bitterness of conflict has gone to
take his place among the great of

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-02-12

New techniques for prolonging life
should have been thoroughly tested
in the laboratories and practices of
the experienced before any attempt
is made to utilize them in the rou-
tine of daily life.
The books to be mentioned in this
reading course are merely the be-
ginning of a new literature on
health.
They have been selected to elabo-
rate the points made in this pre-
liminary discussion and to afford to
any reader safe and stimulating
guides to the care of the human
body.
The progress of preventive nledi-
cine and of personal hygiene is so
rapid, however, that the reader
hardly can keep abreast by the
reading of books alone.
For this reason the American
Medical Association issues a month
Iy periodical called Hygeia, which
includes not only original contribu-
tons by various authorities in the
health field, but also editorial dis
cussions of health problems, reviews
of new books on Health, and de-
partment Of Questions and An
swers" in which the problems of
readers are given special considera-
ton. -
