It is impossible to say exactly how
many meteors fall ON the earth every
day, but this number is in the neigh
borhood of 10000 900. No matter how

crowd like that is going to count in

National charact eristics are further revealed
in the German attitude toward noise. There
the Association of German Engineers has
posted an intriguing cash prize for the best
engineering scheme to abolish the din and
clatter of the big city or the industrial
enterprise.
Much of the agitation for quieter cities and
work places however, has all the earmarks of
emanating from reformers. In Pittsburgh few
years ago, for instance. certain women's
organizations were aggressively active In run
ming down all squeaks and Squawks.
There was a convenient ordinance on the city
books which gave power to include bothersome
noises as health menaces, and the women re-
ported every noise they did not like to the
health commissioner. For time they kept him
SO busy that in one Of his annual reports he
was forced to state that they had kept him

noisy cat fights that he had not been able to
do much else during the fiscal year just closed!

world
The scientific basis for believing that noises
should be seriously considered deals with ex-
pericnceS Of which few Of Us are directly
aware. The bodily changes brought about by
noise are very similar to those precipitated By
fear. Certain noises in fact, are na.ural stimu-
lantS for causing fear reaction, and thereby
the pot thickens.
THE fear reaction does not refer to the men
tai state entirely. 1t is possible to have a
fear reaction without being mentally fearful
that burglars are in the house. The bodily
fear reaction Is serious; pulse rate and blood
pressure are changed unfavorabiy, glands such
as the salivary are slightly dried up, all the
voluntary muscles of the body are tensed more
than normal, and in marked fear reactions the
muscles In the digestive tract are paralyzed and
digestion effectively halted. The digestive and
blood changes may profoundly alter the physi-
cal makeup Of man.

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup,
Pepsin, a combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwell's-
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. 1t is pleasant to the.
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.

Here Was a Man

To the thousands of men and women who
had come under the spell of his personality the
passing of Thomas Taggart will bring moisture
to the eye, swelling to the throat, lowering
of voice, indications of a sense of personal sor-
row.
The great and mighty will pause to pay
tribute to his genius and his achievement. The
lowly will remember his gracious acts his de-
mocracy of spirit, his kindness of heart.
He wrote his name large upon the page of
history, and much deeper in the hearts of men.
He was mighty factor in politics, business,
finance, government, but mightier friend to
those who merited and received his friendship.
The immigrant boy who became maker of
Presidents, the penniless youth who amassed
millions, grip the imagination. The influence
he eSerted upon public life and private lives
aroused boundless admiration.
History was made during the years when
he struggled from the depths to the heights,
and he helped to make that history.
His contribution to the growth of this city,
which he adopted as his own, was almost IN
finite in it's influence. As national figure, as
a senator, as leader, he received the deepest
loyalty Of those who followed his fortunes, the
sincerest fears of those he opposed
He proved himself the equal, if not superior,
to the giants Of day when only giants counted
in our national affairs
He outlived, as he overtowered, those ne
met in the great field of politics. He was the
last of generation which impressed itself IN
delibly upon the making Of our history.
Each new field he entered, he conquered.
But he never forgot the friends Of his youth.
The making of new ties never severed the old.
It will be difficult to imagine an Indiana
without the influence which he so long exerted
upon it's affairs. He was more than an lnst1tu-
ton. He was man.
Tributes, praise, even signs of sorrow, fail
TO mark his measure. Here was a man.

The People Win

Public sentiment won great victory IN the
state senate when that body passed amend
ments to the city manager law designed to
strengthen, not weaken, the new form OF gov
eminent.
Perhaps show of public interest will force
the lower house to forget the pleas of Boss Cot
fin and his allied forces and agree to the senate
BILL
No one is fooled by the weird speeches OF
those who oppose city manager government.
The law providing for such change by
vote of the people has been in effect for eight
years. 1t was only when Indianapolis voted to
free itself from the curse of partisan control,
and Evansville and Terre Haute look to the
same relief, that the bosses got busy.
The people of this city, by vote OF more
than five to one, have declared for this change
of government. Only a crook or fool would
attempt to make the law difficult in its oper-
alton or fraudulent in the selection Of its COM
missioners
Those who vote for sinister amendments,
written by the plunderbund, can label them
selves.

High Treason

If YOU happened to be a soldier and some one
wearing uniform similar to your own stole your
gun, you would
well, what would you do, if while defending of
YOUR rights and liberties in peace time, some smiling
crook stole your only weapon?
That is what is happening now in the legislature
through the manipulation of measure designed to
protect the ballot from frauds.
1t was very simple measure, so simple that only
election crooks and those who expect to profit by
frauds could find objection.
1t provided for the naming of watchers at the
primary elections 1t proposed that any ten candi-
dates could get together and name some to stand
at the polling places and guard against any of the
expedients through which crooks in the past have
overturned the government and made the peoples
rule a farce.
It proposed that these watchers, paid by the
candidates if their not voluntary should
have right to examine the ballot boxes before the
ba!lotng begins in order to see that they were not
filed in advance with spurious votes.
It proposed that the watchers should be present
ALL DAY and during the count and accompany the
election officials 60 the central point in order to see
that there was no switching of boxes
It's purpose was to make fraud difficult, if not
entirely impossible
When the bill got into the house, the henchmen
for the local boss got busy. They amended the
measure so as to make it very difficult to procure
the necessary number of candidates to ask for the
same watchers.
Their real purpose was revealed when they slipped
through proviso that the watchers could enter the
polls only after the voting had ended
That would be an invitation in many precincts of
this and other cities to come in and view the
embalmed remains of the corpse after the machine
had assassnated the will of the people.
There can be no real self government or repre-
sentative eYernment, even decent government, in
