An Unusual Procedure

The senate Indian investigating committee has
spent $4,000 in year and wants to spend $4,000
in the coming twelve months.
The senate committee on audts and contingent
expenses now has asked the bureau of efficiency to
investigate the work of the Indian committee and
to determine whether the funds have been expended
properly. Also, the bureau has been asked to de-
termine whether it can handle much of the Indian
investigation work and thereby relieve the senate
committee Of outside investigators.
While the country cannot complain of the more
than ordinary interest the senate audits committee
is taking in the $4,000 expenditure the public wants
assurance that the Indian inquiry is going to be
allowed to proceed in the same thorough manner it
has progressed to date.
In view of the Burke case, the public wants to
know if any other grand jury proceedings have been
suppressed at the request of the Indian bureau,
whether conditions at all the reservations are as bad
as testimony has shown at some whether the Indian
children educated properly being treated
brutally and whether the Indians getting all the
money that is coming them.
If the stories of what has been happening to some
of the Indian funds true $6eG9o for an investi-
cation is trivial amount which no senate COM
mittee need be much concerned.
Delay in the senate audits committee has gone far
enough. The Indian investigation should proceed
regardless Of whom it hits.

u. S. -OWned Ships

THE shipping board proposes to
L. sell two more patches of boats.
A New York concern has offered
$16,0oG,o00 provided, it can get both
OF them, which is but small frac-
ton of the original cost. They are
being operated at a loss, however,
which makes any price seem good.
Slowly and sadly we approach the
end OF our great shipping venture.
You remember how it began, hsw
the cry was for ships back in 1917.
how we issued the bonds, started
the yards and went in for the great
est construction program ever I'M
dertaken, how we built them of
wood and concrete, as we'll as steel:
how wages rose, forests disappeared
and the lumbermen made money:
how we emerged from the war
imagining we had a mortgage on
maritime trade, and how we woke
up with a pain in the head and a
fiat pocketbook.
OF the 1000 ships Uncle Sam
found on his hands at the close of
the war, 1,400 have been sold, most
ly at junk prices, 1913 are tied ur
or were last October, and the ship
ping board is operating 1893 at an
annual loss of about $16,00O,OOO.

the light which the gives originates the surface
The sun-spots are features Of the philosophers.
They appear as dark spots on it. But it must be
stood that they appear dark spots only by contrast
with the philosophers. Actually. sun-spot is far
brighter than the brightest artificial light which
have.
Photographs show sun-spots to consist of two
parts, dark central portion known as the unbra and
a lighter outer portion called the penumbra-
In size. sun-spots range from tiny ones which are
hardly visible to large ones than $4,000 miles in
diameter.
Sun-spots are not permanent features OF the suns
surface but passing appearing and disappearing
Most su-spots very shortved. One-fourth of all
the spots which appear. disappear within day. An
other fourth lasts only from two to four days The
larger ones remain longer but very few endure more
than few weeks.
The number of spots appearing on the sun varies
greatly from year to year, going through regular
cycle so that maximum number OF spots appear on
the sun every eleven years.
The cycle not perfectly regular however, and the
interval between two maxima has been known to be
as short as rs years and as long as III years.

Legislative Knavery

Nhe attack upon the city manager form of
government for cities can be explained on no
other ground that pure legislative knavery.
The situation is so plain and clear that no
one can misunderstood the purposes of those
members who are seeking to so change the law
as to make the working Of the plan difficult
if not impossible.
The people of this city, by vote Of more
than five to one, adopted this form of govern
ment
The same people who voted for that change
have retained, through more than two years,
an interest in the change.
There is no important group of men or
women in the city which has made any sug-
gestion that the vote was mistake.
Every civic organization is still in favor Of
this change which will eliminate party politics
from city government.
The only opponents of the plan are those
who frankly admit that they hope to use the
city offices and pay rolls to build up political
machines to be used in state, county or ma
tional politics.
With the people as nearly unanimous as
could be hoped for on any question and with
the politicians, the crooked ones at that, fight
ing-the plan, the members of the legislature
who are voting to mutilate the law and shackle
this city are writing their own political
obituaries.
For certainly no self-respecting community
would think of sending back to office mem
Der who showed so ruthless disregard for pub
lie opinion or common decency.
IL necessary, flying squads of leading cltl-
zens should go to the counties of members who
follow the Coffin spokesman in their votes and
tell their neighbors exactly what the boys are
doing in Indianapolis.
The city manager plan, which has been the
hope of this city for two years, must not be sac
rifced to the plans of Coffin and his henchmen'

tive as any volume of public health
education thus far available. II has,
unfortunately, not the reliability or
the philosophical point of view of

with such volumes as Living Ma

fered for the general reader, it is
q monument of lucidity.
The matter of public health edu-
cation apparently is still so young
in Great Britain that the English
writer's have not learned to talk
in less than four syliables.
Dr.. Haggard has written for the
child as well as for the adult and
apparently realizes that the aver
age adult intelligence is not so far
above that of the normal American
child.
Throughout the volume, the &C
tual information relative to the
workings of the human tissues is
associated with practical discus
sions of infectious disease, meta
bolic complaints and similar sub

SEEMS
TOME
BY HAYWOOD
BROUN

WE have by now no lack Of
w weeks in which everybody is
urged to be kind to apples or dumb
animals and yet would be in favor
of another designated period, to be
known simply as Be Kind day.
There still is space to crowd in upon
the citizenry a higher degree of
heartinesS.
Sometimes I wonder why the
preachers pay so small an amount
of attention to Christian ethics and
spend their discourses instead on
Christian theology. 1t seems to me
that the ethics are important.
A favorite slogan of the funda-
mentalists runs preach Christ cru
Cited" And I have no doubt they
do. even though this distorts the
essential factor in the life of the
Messiah, whom they follow as best
they can. The fact that Christ lived
is more important than that he
died.
With Professor Harry Elmer
Barnes, I go quite a way in his in
sistence that there is need of a new
conception of God and a modern
ization of religion. But when he
says, as the newspapers report, that
he would rather take his ethics
from Fosdick than from Jesus,
can't agree at all.
In saying that Christ was an ig-
norant peasant, Professor Barnes
falls in a sleazy half-truth. Let us
assume for the moment that we
both accept the fact that such a
person once walked the earth. OBJ
viously the rationalistS have a right
to SAY that no man who lived in old
Jerusalem could comprehend entire
ly the programs which arise in q
modern civilization.
Nevertheless, there must be foun-
dationS upon which scheme Of
ethics can be reared which is eter-
nal, or thereabouts. A gospel Of
mercy does not depend upon any
exact knowledge of radio, a gasoline
engine or the wireless telegraph.

tits not by sitting with my heels

Dollar when asked him how it was
he could make American ships paw,
and put a round the world service
on its feet when every one else said
it could not be done.
ITS by taking of my coat he
added, ''by going to work, getting
freight and giving service"
Five years ago, Captain Dollar
made a contract with the govern
ment to institute a round-the-
world service, buying seven of its
ships at low price, and agreeing
to complete fifty trips with five
years.

Twice-Toid Tales

nF course there were prophets
W before Christ who counselled
man to bear in mind his duty to
his neighbor Surely it should not
be cited against either Messiah or
professor that he brought before
the world a twice-to1d tale, as long
as it happened to be true.
The early Christian fathers fought
bitterly against the fact that GER
tain episodes in the gospels had
earlier echoes in the myths of the
Pagans. I don't understand why a
religion should be weakened, if 1t
can be demonstrated that its essen
tials have always been a part Of
the hope and vision of mankind.
