WHAT IS A BARGAIN?

Is it a high-grade slightly used
Packard or other good make at
right price or a medium or cheap
grade new Car at a greater price?
Consider Final Cost" not first cost.
Is there a difference between a
bargain and "snap[" Can honest
merchandise be sold for less than
price that is just to everybody?
Some body has to pay for every
thing. What you get for nothing is
a gift or it is good for nothing. Our
used-car prices are commensurate
with the cars offered and no higher.
You do not buy Packard reputa
tion-you pay for a Packard Used
Car, just that, no more and no less.
That is Packard reputation. In SELL
ing our used cars we are constantly
building reputation.
We are in a permanent business.
The only way we can live and thrive
is to deliver the right goods at a
right price. When a right price IS
cut something comes off-when you
are offered ''cut price find out
what comes of.
You don't have to "dicker" when
you buy Packard's Used Cars. Our
aim is your continuing satisfaction
and eventual ownership of new
Packard.

REASON By FFE2EBHSk 1ASBTs

the very hour President Hoover was giving
n reception at the White House in honor Of
Premier Ramsay Macdonald and his daughter and IN
the interest of international friendship Bertram
Russell the English philosopher, contending IN
debate with Will Durant in New York City that
Europe in general and England in particular, is far
ahead of the United States in culture.
1t would be hard to imagine profitless dis
cuSSon or any other city in the United States
where people would pack auditorium and warmly
applaud the foreigner who sneered at them and their
country but then it should be remembered that the
snobbish New Yorker turns his face toward London
when he prays, as the Mohammedan turns his face
toward Mecca.
Had Durant journeyed across the Atlantic for the
purpose of impressng the English that they were
opeeSSy inferior to Americans in the Sllken graces
which denote distance from barbarSm, he would not
have been applauded by an audience, chained TO an
inferiorty complex; he would have been Kissed from
the stage as his impudence would have deserved.
NF course Mr. Durant could have informed Mr..
" Russell that the man who boasts of his culture
is utterly devoid of it, since the proof of culture Is
modeSty and decency and that he who grows eloquent
the consciousness OF his own spiritual and in
tellectual magnihcence is only hopeless ass
Mr. Durant might have added in reply to Mr..
Russell's charge that We are very young, with the
assurance that will be much older by the time
Europe pays what she owes U.s.
In reply to this Engshman's reference to the
coarsenesS of America Durant might have pointed
to the cowardice and barbarism of the English audi
ence as evidence by the riots of abuse and intimda
ton which greeted Henry Ward Beecher when he
spoke for the north during the Civil in Liverpool
and Manchester indecencies destitute Of provoca-
tion they were Of precedent
Instead of having devoted his time to defense
of his countrymen, Durant might have reminded MI
Russell that to this day the English audience Is a
hopeless rough-neck its cowardy hecklerS never ng
of snearing Englands greatest statesmen with vih-
cation In her campaigns for parliament, Mrs Nancy
Astor has been subjected to insults which would not
have been tolerated by the convcts in any American
prison.
TT IS perhaps the inevitable consequence of CEN
IL turies of world domination that the seeds of
rogance should be planted in the hearts of English
men, but submit that in their appraisal Of nations
of people they should diferentiae between those
who have their yoke and those who have thrown
1t of, between those who have yielded to them and
those who have whipped them between the helpless
Hndoo and the free American
This hateful superciliousneSs has been an
present irrtant between England and America; it

the English and American soldiers almost every

is paid only to dependents of men who died or are
suffering from disabilities connected with their war
service.
The resolution ATTRACTED little attention and its
significance only now is beginning to be appreciated
It means that the Legion for the first time def
nitely is committed to the policy of extending the
countrys traditional pension system to the World war
veterans who number roughly 100000.
1t marks also complete reversal of the attitude
of the Legion, which in its 1922 convention at New
orleans passed resolution agreeing to forego pension
demands if the veterans were granted bonus.
1t is true that the present demand is only for pen
sions for widows and children but one will doubt
that once this is granted demands will arise for a
general pension bill This was the history of pension
legislation in both the Civil and Spanish Amer
lean
Spanish American war widows granted pen
sions in 1902 and sixteen years later general pen
sion bill enacted. Earlier Civil war pension bills
were followed by general pension legislation in 1890.
At the outset of the World war, every effort was
made to set up q system of compensation and insur
ance that would preclude any possibility of the growth
of pension system like that which followed the two
preceding wars and which still is costing the country
some 1920, 5000 year.
Men injured in service were to be cared for, and
their dependents compensated; dependents OF those
who died from service causes were to be compensated
The government next fiscal year will spend more than
$6OOO0OOOO for these purposes or roughly one dollar
out of every seven eight that will be spent.
Since then congress passed the insurance" bonus
BILL which finally will cost the country between two
and three billion dollars. Vocational training was
provided for thousands The privilege of hoSpaliza-
ton was extended to every veteran, from whatever
his Illness
But the rank and file of the Legion apparently
have the pension idea despite widespread opposition
1t is not to be expected that there will be immedi
ate action by congress- But the Louisville resolution
was the opening wedge. and marks the beginning of
the pension drive, of which more and more will be
heard year by year
World war pensions probably will become political
issue, Civil pensions, and the bonus, and
on larger scale.
The question is important

Evidence and GuiIt

The cornerstone of the theory of criminal law is
that guilt shall be determined exclusively by the law
and the evidence
Yet anyone who has followed the actual admins
tration criminal justice must realize that social
pressure in any community is often more powerful
factor in the outcome than the facts.
If the more influential elements want a convic
tion they are likely to get it. though the facts
warrant an acquttaI. The of Mooney and
Billings and of Sacco and Vanzetti are an eloquent
testimonial to this.
The Barkoski case now in western Pennsylvania
is an Illustration of the picture reversed Here there
is a vast mass of inconteStible evidence to the
effect that one John Barkosk, a Polish peasant and
miner was tortured to death by three coal and iron
policemen But the dominant powers in the Pitts
burgh district desired an acquittal They got what they
wanted.
After the verdict the trial judge dismissed the
Jury from further service with the comment that:
"the Jury was not competent and did not have
sufhcient moral stamina" He declared further that
he never was surprised more in his life than he
BY the nature of the verdict.
Social pressure in western Pennsylvania apparently
affected parties to the trial other than the jury. The
police defended by of the most distinguished
and influential attorneys in the state, while the
prosecution was left to the least experienced member
of the district attorneys ofice.
Another hearing now is to be held. The is
of vital importance For involved in it Is the question
of whether juristic methods Of the medieval in
ouisition and the industrial policies of early
nineteenth century England shall prevail in our land

Plumber Shows 'Em

TINE plumber rises nobly to the
l. occasion. He is not trying to put
anything over on anyone. He merely
has discovered a great principle, and
is more than willing to publish the
formula.
Not only that, but he is ready to
give a public demonstration, with
experts looking on and safe-guarded
by all the precautions that can be
devised.
What could be fairer, and why
should the law turn thumbs down
on such an obviously honest crook?
Public sentiment is outraged. The
situation does not call for mercy,
but merely justice.
Authorities have no choice in the
matter, especially in nation saved
for democracy, along with the rest
of the world.
They yield to public demand, call
in the experts, devise the necessary
precautions, and tell Plumber Tau
send to do his worst.
Plumber Tausend provides HIM
self with lead and other necessary
ingredients, lights the fire and heats
the kettle while Sharp-eyed prison
officials, hard-boiled chemists, be-
whiskered savants and newspaper
men look on.
At the conclusion of the expert
ment, he produces one-tenth of a
gram of pure gold, extracted, as he
claims, from 1.67 grams Of lead.

COLUMBUS DAY
Oct. IL,

TODAY is Columbus day. Four
l. hundred and th!rty-seven years
ago, in the early morning hours Of
Oct. IL, 1892, Christopher Columbus
and his companions discovered
land.
They disembarked at daybreak
on an island called by the natives
Guanahani. Columbus took posses
sion of the island and named 1t San
Salvador.
Further explorations led Colum-
bus to believe that Cuba was pro-
lection of Asia. In the meantime,
Alfonso Martin Pinzon, one Of Co.
lumbus' companions, discovered
Haiti, which Columbus named
Espanola.
On Dec. 26 they built fort and
left thirty-seyen men. with ample
provisions, as a garrison. Two days
later one of the ships, the Santa
Maria, was wrecked and all on
board were transferred to the Nina.
Columbus began the return voy-
age Jan. 4. 1893. In the Azores,
which they reached Feb. IS. Colum-
bus wrote his first account Of the
explorations. He wrote the second
account March 4, when he reached
Lisbon.
At the end of the voyage, Colun-
bus Immediately began making
plans for a second expedition, on
which he set sail Sept. IS. 1893.

Cigaret Does It
THEN comes the denouement.

THEN comes the denouement.
l. Among the onlookerS is
Plumber Tausend's partner, equipped
with a package of cigarets, which
he casually passes the former at
some time during the experiment.
1t is all so natural, you under
stand-a plumber taking a pull at a
cigaret, while he cogitates over the
problems of his job.
And what if Plumber Tausend
drops little of the ash in his ket-
tie now and then, and what if the
ash contains little gold?
No feature of human intelligence
is so amazing as its blind spot.
Even the great Columbus thought
he had discovered Asia, which Is
why our red men are called IN
dians.
Who, then, can blame folks fol-
being unable to realize that golc
would cease to be precious the mo-
ment it was made from lead.
Wealth is not based on the color
or weight of substance, but what
people want.
Queen Isabella wanted gold and
converts. but modern Germany seeks
a loan from the Swedish match trust
while modern America is interested
in stocks and bonds of industries
that were not dreamed Of a few
years ago.

He plays the sax like god and

is the street in which this improve
mert should be made. The fact Is
that it's location as 1t bears upon
all points north OF Washington
street makes the selection OF any
other street out Of the question.
In event that the resolution pend
ing before the board Of public works
for widening Of Sixteenth street Is
confirmed, and the improvement Is
completed, we shall see Indianapolis

Acute congestion Of business life
In the downtown district calls for
this outlet. Widening Of Sixteenth
street would be on the order Of the
growth of our largest cities, which
have grown from one main street,
or principal street.
Streets parallel to the principal
street, In due course OF time, in
their turn, assume the furtherance
and dispatch Of the city business.
Street widening Is resolved on get
ting about on a large scale. doing
it quickly and doing it safely. Big
business in large proportions follows
these ideas.
In so far as concerns the future
growth of Indianapolis, the widen
ing Of Sixteenth street above all
things, and beyond all doubt, Is the
most indispensable.
In observing upon this improve
ment, we always can be in order in
calling attention TO the large jog

More Testimony

The Canadian system of liquor control has been
subject of much dispute Some assert it has reduced
drinking and eliminated the evils that accompanied
prohibition; others that it has encouraged the use
of liquor.
Therefore the opinion of Premier Ferguson of On
tario is interesting He told members of the Con-
servative party that drinking in Ontario would de-
crease so per cent in the next ten years if people
would continue to support the liquor control act
He credited the reduction to temperance teaching
in schools and churches.
