Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I have read your
paper and the morning paper for
years, and I do think that our great
wave of crime, auto robbery, bank
robbery, and murder could be re-
duced at least so per cent if our
judges had the power to add from
ten to twenty lashes on the bare
backs of such violators.
I see in your paper of Dec. that
Judge Il. B.. Graham of Winnipeg,
Can, sent six men to the peniten-
tiary for robbery and also gave them
ten to twenty lashes. This lashing
will stop crime just as it did in our
boyhood days, when we violated our
fathers rule.
Also, see where three young men
went to the gallows for murder and
robbery at San Quentin prison,
California. AS our great men of
this good state of Indiana soon will
be together to make laws to pro-
tect us, they should help put this
severe punishment in the law.
ELMER STODDARD,
ITO East New York street.
Editor Times-Acting for the de-
partment of conservation and under
Instructions of the general commit
tee which sponsored the Central
States Forestry congress. I am tax
ing this opportunity to thank you
for the splendid cooperation of The
Times in reporting the proceedings
of the congress to the public.
Indiana should feel proud to have
the many experts throughout the
region and the eastern portion of
the United States come to this state
for the first meeting of the congress.
The excellent cooperation of The
Indianapolis Times contributed very
much toward success Of the con-
gress.
Permit me to digress from our
recent meeting to say that from
time to time We read excellent edi-
torials in The Times pertaining to
the grave problem OF reforestation.
1t is very encouraging to receive
this endorsement for our forestry
activities. r. f. WILCOX.

THOUGH he chose an unfortu-
l. nate time and place to express
it. there still is a disagreeable
amount of truth in Sinclair Lewis
denunciation Of American life.
AS a people, we have become
dangero usly commercial in our atti-
tude toward all things, have devel-
oped q faith in quantity, rather
than quality, have mistaken the
power Of advertising 1or the value
of what is back of it, and have sub
stituted a belief in dollars for a
belief in ideals.
The America Of 1880 is not the
America of 1880, and Lewis him
self is one of the most convincing
facts 80 prove it.
We have travelled far since the
days of Poe and Hawthorne, and
our course can not be described as
uniformly upward.
That Sinclair Lewis should get the
Nobel prize and that most people
should feel compelled to admit that
no one could be found with a much
better claim, bespeaks a low state
of literature not only in America,
but everywhere else.

jorty human enough to resent the implications that
its opposition is afront in Providence and trail
torous to the best interests in the country.
Hoover's boosters should be too wise to claim a
copyright on honest motives and monopoly on
patriotism.
For part we applaud Hoover's relief pro-
gram, while wishing that it might go farther and
faster But would hesitate to place the folly of the
administration tariff at the door of Providence
We would hesitate to question the patriotism of
those still loyal, through the Wagner bills, to the
Hoover relief plan of 1921 which the President himself
apparently has now forgotten.

Increasing gradually to about 1875 at

These figures are in no sense of

The figures of the life insurance

BATTLE FREDERICKSBURG

BATTLE FREDERICKSBURG
Dec. Is
an Dec. 10, 1852, the Confederates,
~ under Lee. scored one of their
most decisive victories Of the Civil
war when they defeated Burnside,s
Union army at Fredericksburg.
Up to this time the south and
north each had won an important
battle. First Lee had vanquished
Pope at Bull Run and then McCleI-
Ian turned the tables on Lee at Arr
tietam, where, on Sept. II, there
occurred the "bloodiest single day
Of fighting of the war"
After Antietam, Lee retreated
across the Potomac, leaving Me-
Clelian in possession Of the field. :
President Lincoln then ordered
Mcclellan not to let Lee get of
without being hurt" but Mcclellan
moved so slowly in pursuit that he
was removed from command and re-
placed by Burnside.
Burnside proceeded at once
against Richmond, and on the way
encountered Lee at Fredericksburg,
where he was strong entrenched
along the hills on the south bank
Of the Rappahannock.
Burnside was defeated with a loss
Of 12,0G0 men, after which he was
superseded by Joseph Hooker.

teresting talk on the life of Abraham

rifced so much in the war. Audrey

a poem likening Lincoln, who had
just died, to great captain who had
just steered the ship of state through

ANOTHER NEW MINING FIRM STARTS OPERATIONS
 IN NOME DISTRICT

Bert Mccarthy ani James Pan os have formed Il parCA ership and have obtained a lease on tract Of mining ground adjoining Ben Gillette and Edward AZ GLerson's mining activities, near Ike old milk ranch, just on the eastern outskirts of the city limi.s Both Mccarthy and Panos are sourdough miners and are all around mining men. They are now busy in con structing a one foot close connect ed bucket line dredge on the pro- perty. A dam will be built and a pump installed on the beach to insure foatation for the dredge lat all times. Buildings for camp use have already been hauled to the claim and as this ground has been prospected and found to con- tain workable values, it will no doubt add to the steady gold out put of this section for several years.
