Spotted fever originally was
confined to a small area in the
Rockies and the Bitter Root
Mountains in Idaho, and iilvaria-

In addition to taking steos to

The Relief Campaign
conditions

Communities of the nation start Monda, nm q
five-week campaign to raise funds for unemplov-
ment relief. This is probably the most important
money-raising campaign since war days In this eff
fort the administrators has put it's hope of meeting
the winters problems
We sincerely hope it will succeed Before this we
have stated our position: That the problem is ma
tlonal one which should be met by supplementary
federal appropriations if the campaign for private
funds fails.
There is only one way for Community Chest CAM
palgns to be successful-the wealthy must contrib
ute larger share than they have in the past
Small-salared persons, who too often within the
last two years have had unemployed or part-tme
employed relatives and friends to help through this
depression will pay their share as they have done
in the past But their funds have been hit seriously
by bank failures wage cuts and direct family chart
ties
Their dimes and dollars will mean much to the
spirit OF these drives They are the persons who have
seen and felt the effects of this depression upon
themselves, their families and their friends Thev
give because they know the need
But it is the wealthy who must bear the brunt
of this Embarrassing
The cities and counties and states in many in
stances, will be called on to appropriate again They
contributed 70 per cent of the funds for family well
1are and unemployment relief work last year But
between then and now these treasures have been
under great strain; many of them depleted These
local governmental agencies will appropriate what
money they can.
But neither this help from local governments nor
that from the wage Garner and the salaried worker
viii be enough.
The question Of whether this campaign will raise
sufficient funds be answered only by persons of
means, They should give so freely that their gifts
will "startle the most generous"

Foot Troubles Menace Entire Health

Flat feet are not necessarily pain
full feet.
Flat feet plus rheumatic feet are
very painful and stiff.
A slight degree of pigeon toes may
be a very desirable condition.
The child walks on the same hard
surfaces-hard floors, cement side
walks, and therefore it should have
the same protection that the adults
do, rigid or sen1i-rigid shank shoes.
A flexible shoe is sufficient for
those who need only exercise, but
for those who need both exercise
and support, it is insufficient. 1t
may be used part time to alternate
with the rigid shank shoe.
Observe your child's foot and leg
posture occasionally during sleep.
Be on the lookout for improper
sitting posture or positions during
rest or play. One of the worst sit
ting positions is that in which the
child sits with its legs folded. so
that the heels nearly touch the but
tocks and the feet are in fiat foot
position.
Flat feet and a weak back go
together all too frequently. Keep
your back fiat and your feet arched.
Remember that no matter how
long you live you have to carry
your feet and your feet have to
carry you.

Cannon Is Not a Martyr

Indictment of Bishop Cannon of the Methodist
church on charge of conspiracy to violate wfully
the federal corrupt practices law, should not be
allowed to start one Of those waves of religious and
anti-religious Dgotry which are the disgrace of
America
Protestant prohibition fanatics, in trying to make
Cannon martyr, are on dangerous GROUND. And 50
are the anti-church fanatics who would have the
public believe that Cannon is typical of the Proes-
tant churches and the prohibition movement
In his campaign of bigotry to defeat Al Smith for
the presidency but Cannon did not act as bishop or
as Methodist, but citizen. AS citizen he had
right to fight Smith legally His methods of intoI
erance violated the teachings Of Jesus and the spirit
of the American Constitution.
But so long as he kept within the letter of the law
that was a matter of his own conscience And if IS
important that those churchmen who wish to make
martyr OF him realize that the law did not reach
out to restrain Cannon in his bigotry campaign.
The law was invoked against him on a charge
which has no connection whatever with anv of Can
mons religious acts or beliefs Court action was in
Voked when he defed the federal law for the preser
Vaon OF clean elections the law to protect the
try from political crooks
We believe that Protestant churchmen- and nro-
hbition leaders generally disapprove of the illegal
pohucal practices of Cannon 1t is unfair to saddle
his church with his personal sins Nor can prohibition
be cured by cursng Cannon
AS advocates of prohibition repeal we nevertheless
believe that the rank and file of drys are as GOOD
ctlzens as their opponents and that it is possible to
keep this necessary political battle clean fobt
on both sides

A Real Civic ENTERPRISE

Tomorrow evening will inaugurate a season
OF lectures at Krshbaum Center by the nations lead
erss in government, religion, social and industrial
problems.
These lectures important part of city life
IN that they challenge thought and contribute to
more tolerant and liberal attitude toward life.
Progress is achieved only as ideas dis
worthy adopted and made part Of civilization.
In other years this group has brought many illus
trious and noted speakers to this city whose contrbu
tons have led to discussion of topics that demand in
terest and attention.
The real value lies in the fact that the subjects
are generally Of controversial nature Some speakers
have aroused antagonism. Others have obtained ap-
proval. But all have aroused stimulated thought.
The center is to be congratulated on bringing as
its first speaker Senator Robert La Toilette who
res on the traditions of his illustrious father.
The senator is a part Of the progressive group
whose power in the next session of congress is likely
to be greater than in the past.
This group is not afraid of new ideas Many of
their earlier proposals, radical when suggested are
now part Of our accepted system Of government.
Citizens who are curious as to what may be offered
as cure for present evils in government and indus
try will have the opportunity of learning first hand
from one of the acknowledged leaders of that move
ment. Those who tired of the bunk and patitudes
Of those who trust in labels rather than principles will
at least not be bored.

Not Fooled

The suggestion Of the insult interests that they be
given the zone system of rate making in return for
reduction of $37OOOO electric bills for seventy cities
has not fooled the citizens of the affected commune
ties
That the protest against utility rates is state wide
and very urgent question is shown by the following
editorial from the Franklin Democrat
The Public Service Company of Indiana announces
that it has filed petition to revise downward cleo
lc rates for towns and cities it serves in southern
1hdlana-seVenty-six in number in which list Frank
lin and Greenwood are included. 1t states that the
$3700OO
Considering the territory covered and the number
IL patrons served that total reduction nothing short
OF Joke. To amount to anything that would be
worth While to consumers the total reduction in one
whole year ought to be ten times $370000
Citizens should not be mised by this favorite
method OF quoting the minds of people To give the
amount Of reduction in a total sum looks big but
When applied to individual consumers it does not
amount to bagatele so far any real relief goes
The reduction estimated would not amount TO
one dollar year to thousands of customers 1t would
not exceed two dollars year an average to the
people served That is not the sort of relief conslm-
ers are expecting the amount of relief to which they
are entitled. The reduction should be something sub
stahtlal and in keeping with the reductions that have
been made in all other matters that affect materially
the living and business necessities of citizens No
total reduction of ten times $4,000 would be small
IN comparison with the real necessities of present
conditions.

Just Every Day Sense
OOCAsIONALLY one meets a woman WAC

OCCASIONALLY one meets woman who ought
- to be spanked. Some of these married ones
seem to be suffering from acute cases of infantisr
and 1t might be good thing to punish them dras-
tically
Here is thumbnail sketch of how one such sneci
men behaves: Been married ten years to a kind and
somewhat too indulgent Has a SON. years
Old Azores and spols him. Has always refused to
nave anything to do with husbands relatives and
goes into violent Mysteries every time he mentions
desire 10 visit his parents
Now is engaged a steady effort to poison the
son against his father, who loves him devotedly and
has endured such treatment only for his sake Tells
the child that the father is a scoundrel and runs
about with other women
A divorce is, naturally. pending in this family
and the man, who knows what happens too often in
cases of this kind. is distressed profoundly He re-
allies that his son undoubtedly will be taken from
him, and this fear probably is justified.
THE truth is that the wife is conniving to have
l. her husband kicked out of the home She will
be given charge of the son and he will be obliged
by the courts to support the two of them while being
cut of from his child except for the usual occa-
Sonal contacts
Now do not know what should be done to women
OF this kind but certainly their behavior should not
be accepted compacently by society.
There seems to be no way by which the man in
such an instance obtain Justice The mother has
had all the advantage by influencing the plastic child
ish mind to what may be permanent prejudice.
1t seems to me if I the husband in this case,
l would for glorious minute give this wife grand
spanking and then go willingly and happily to jail.

a delay in the delivery of this
equipment, under the preteXt of in
vestigating these awards.
While the Governors pick and
shower program is commendable, it
can only refer to certain district
unemployment situations and can
not aid ours and other cities unem-
ployed, while the building Of these
trucks would give hundreds of city
men work for several weeks.
I wonder, too, if the public knows
that local truck company, whose
product is, manufactured in In
dianapolis, submitted bids on the
four wheel drive trucks that were
asked for and then not ordered.
This is a new company and not as
yet advertised, but demonstrations
were given to the highway commits
sioners and their various employees
and everyone was quite thrilled
over its marvellous performance.
This equipment is especially good
for the snow-removing vehicles
asked for and then not ordered.
Had the local company obtained
this order, several weeks employ
ment would have been given to
nearly hundred men. which would
be in keeping with the Governors
suggested unemployment relief.
Surely we all understand why the
commissioners were given new pas
senger cars. A northern Indiana
company was not given a maximum
order in the recent truck bidding
and was, no doubt, somewhat ap-
peased by the passenger car order
With all the Governors ballyhoo
about helping the Unemployed, his
actions still smack of political
favoritism No doubt when the
present mild agitation subsidies
awards for truck equipment will be
made to the favored few, as die
tated to the Governor by the politi-
clans.
