Another Noble Experiment

Finland is year farther advanced in the noble
experiment than the United States 1t is not sur
prsng therefore, that the effort to rid that country
of prohibition likewise is more advanced than here.
The Federation OF Finnish Judges has reported to
the government that prohibition has had Extremely
undesirable results" that liquor consumption has in
creased than so per cent and that most of the
people in the country openly repudiate the liquor
laws thereby undermining legal order and increasing
crime.
No more striking test of prohibition could be
devised than that which has proceeded simultane-
ously on opposite sides of the world
In both countries strong sentiment in favor of
temperance existed. Both launched their dry laws
on wave of postwar idealism. The United States
had large population, while Finland just was
emerging from the rule of the Russian car.
The United States belonged to the modern age,
Finland to the older times Yet the two countries
reacted similarly to prohibition
In both countries, consumption of alcohol for
'non-beverage" and medicinal purposes leaped up
alarmngly under the dry laws Arrests for drunken
ness, violation of prohibition laws and other crimes
mounted rapidly. Both countries were infested with
bootleggers and the cost of enforcement in each
mounted steadily.
So Ffnland-which has tried the experiment one
year longer-rSt increased the legal alcoholic con-
tent of beer and now has an official commission at
work drawing plan for supplanting prohibition
with modified liquor control laws The next parIia-
ment is expected to seek way out of its financial
difficulties through legalizing and taxing liquor
Perhaps by 1882 we will have caught up with the
prohibition procession in its march to oblivion

One Church Sneaks

To those who may have questioned the Christianity
of modern churches the message Of a conference OF
ministers in Wisconsin will bring basis Of con-
hdence and hope.
These ministers denounce both public and private
charity as "debasing thing" and demand self-re-
spect through jobs furnished if necessary, by the
government.
The steadfast refusal of President Hoover to do
than appoint a committee to collect funds for
private charity to relieve the distress that inevitably
linked with joblessness does not appeal to these
pastors.
They have the queer idea that men need work to
maintain their sef-respect and that sef-respect is
quite vital to American standards food shelter
They see clearly that the logic of governmental
policy that refuses to even attempt to solve the prob
lem of unemployment and is only concerned with the
distress" is capital punishment for every man who
fails to find job for himself.
They seem to have caught some of the message
Of the Man of Nazareth and his doctrine OF human
brotherhood which could in no manner defend So
cety where those who have too much coldy calculate
on how little others may have and still live long
enough to become later, employees or customers.

Bad Judgment.

Under the pressure of those gentlemen who be-
lieve that they pay too much to government in the
form of taxes the county council has decided to re-
duce the road patrol of the county after the first OF
the year and throw few more men on the bread
line or into the ranks of the joblesS.
The professional propagandists for the tax reducers
have performed a poor service The railroads and
the utilities should call halt on such advice.
The last place to cut expenses in government is
in the poorly paid jobs and especially in the number
of those employed as policemen sheriffs.
They may not have been needed in years of pros
perity. They are always needed in days of depres-
sion and desperation.
The present holders of jobs may or may not be
efficient That is not the question. There should
be men ready to protect the farmers from raids The
suburban banker will feel easier.
These jobs may have been luxuries in the days
when there was protest and the holders acted as
guides to bewildered truck drivers who brought booze
from Jasper or Clinton under tolerant attitude in
the Office of sheriff
They become necessary through the force of cir
cumstances other purpose than to guide those
seeking relief to the agencies which President Hoover
and Governor Leslie say will take of all the
needy They might serve traffic directors for
the joblesS.
Reducing armies in time of war has never been
considered the best strategy.

Health Checkups Important

Scientific Investigations have
shown that definite chemical
changes take place during fatigue
and others during rest.
The amount of sleep necessary at
different periods in life changes. 1t
varies also for different persons.
The average man ought to sleep
eight hours every night.
Sometimes insomnia is due to
physical conditions, but it may also
be due to the establishment of bad
habits. Falling asleep is a habit.
If one establishes the routine OF
going to sleep easily at regular
hour and of relaxing the body at
the time of going to sleep, he will
probably have much less trouble

Then, too, man has the intelli-

him to realize when things go wrong

Regular physical examinations

secondarily such examinations may
afford a feeling of confidence in

freedom from worry.
Without being able scientifically
to measure the amount of damage
that can be done to the human
body by worry, high tension or ir-
ritation, the experience of ages has
shown that these factors play a
definite part in the onset of dis

There was time when worry
was listed as a contributing cause
to high blood pressure, hardening

Peoples Voice

Editor TimeS-I was interested in
an article recently in The Times, in
the Voice of the People, signed "a
Farmers Wife" She asks what are
we going to do about John Tooley,
the 13-year-old boy who stole So
worth of tools and who was SEN
fenced to eight years in the reform
school? She also speaks of Gov
ernor Leslie sanctioning the I'M
heard-of penalty by his refusal to
do anything. All this, I believe,
should be thoroughly gone into and
the right thing done abolt it.
But I ask, what are we going to
do about some Of Governor Leslie's
acts? We seem to scent something
odd in the passage of bus bill No.
6, in the washing of the state
house at cost of $4,000, when it
might have been done for less than
half that amount; in going far be-
yond the $4,000 allowance for en-

He says of the Governors con-
tingent fund, 1T is my money, I
can do as 1 please with it." I fatty
deny this assertion. This money
belongs to the taxpayers of Indiana.
He accuses others of being I'M
American, but what, I ask, is more
American than this needless
waste of the peoples money in the
terrible times of depression and
unemployment through which we
are passing?
There is no surer way of making
reds than by driving honest men
beyond the point of endurance, by
loading them with taxes so that the
Governor may spend it in foolish
ness.
If a Governor who makes such
an assertion, is to remain In Office
until his term expires, would sug-
gest that a guardian be appointed
for him, as is done for others who
show themselves incapable of ham
ding funds. A READER.

r AM not an expert in the ethics

distance it would seem as if an
other chapter had been added to
the contention that international
contests do not make for good will.
Gar Woods confession that he
deliberately tricked his English rival
into a premature start sounds like
very Shoddy craftsmanship.
Nor can I see any merit in the
contention that the extra boat OF

award merely for ambling around

A Better Understanding

CPEED is a tonic and exhilarator
- of the human ego. One feels
vastly superior to his ancestors.
Somewhere in the back of his mind
he carries the stories Of those slow
tricks across waste lands in OK carts.
Even the headline that somebody
has flown from coast to coast within
twelve hours gives every one of us
a sense of conquest. The mountains
which doomed as barriers to Hanni-
bal and his elephants become now
mere hillocks to bar the march of
humankind.
And in the long run suppose
that we shall all be better off when
distance is cut down and the planet
becomes a pebble. I imagine, or
rather I hope, that the coming of
international brotherhood will be
fastened by the new time schedule.
When the Atlantic ragged as a
vast water hazard, there was rea-
son for suspicion and there was no
POooAO%A4OJ VI q HO4AOy VI GOA4C41o-
ton. George Washington's address
about entahgling alliances has been
vastly quoted by politicians.
But it would never have been
thought or written if the Father of
His Country had lived into the age
when Lindbergh could fly from
New York to Paris within a days
span.
Of course, the feeling of fellow
ship is primarily a spiritual thing,
but the bond between body and soul
is heightened through physical pro-
pinquity.
The fact that in the years to
come we shall all rub shoulders
makes it increasingly possible that
we may also rub idea against idea
and get out of this contact not that
friction which brings fire, but the
understanding which makes for uni
verSal peace.
