If You Have Tears

Prohibition offers performance more grotesque
nan the appeal of Attorney General Mitchell made
before the American Prison Association in Baltimore
calling for help from the states in caring for the
governments increasing horde of prohibition de
feons.
Federal jails, he said, ARE overcrowded woefully
IN spite of recent expansions Mitchell doesn't know
what Sanford Bates, Uncle Sans jaer sis going to
do with all these people"
The states elust help, he argues, by arrestng and
furnishing federal law volators under similar statutes
In one sentence Mitchell lamented that the num-
Der OF persons under federal sentence rose from
in July 1929, to $4,000 last July; that for prohibition
violations alone the number of cases prepared for
prosecution rose from $3.50 in September of last year
to 6,2O9 last month"; and that "the pressure still con-
tinues"
Inc Mitchell dilemma is very sad His remedy
Is Saooer The states not afford to ease the gov
ernments burden by housing it's federal law volators
Their own prisons SO packed now that riots are
frequent
AND The very states that have repudiated prohibit
ton by repeating or refusing to enact state enforce
ment statutes-some seventeen in number-now nav
gu per cent of the $4500O00O annual bill for prohbi
ton enforcement. Imagine their reception of the
Mitchell proposal!
For stubborn and stupid government there is
no way out except to build more and bigger prisons
10 mousse board and punish prohibition violaors For
an intelligent government the way is easy It could
follow the recommendations of it's own Wickershan1
commission, to repeal or modify an obviously unen
forceable law
In the meantime, it could quit treating dry law
vloators like criminals and freely apply probation
and parole.

Wealthy Women

If it is true, as we are now told, that women own
40 per cent of this countrys wealth. we are closer
than had been apparent to the only kind OF equality
between the sexes that is worth arguing about.
Men have dictated the rules of the game we play,
for so many centuries only because they held the
money bags Women equipped with money bags of
their own will be able to amend inheritance, prop
erty and business laws which discriminate against
women.
Also, If they see it, they win be able to eliminate
the more personal discrimi oation in marriage di-
vorce and other laws.
But having accomplished these things, ardent
ferninists who have looked to them so long con-
shutting the millennium probably will discover that
women are no more enlightened employers. no
more intelligent as law makers, no more honest as
taxpayers no more capable of ending human injus-
tice and suffering than
Then, perhaps. more concentrated and more prac-
tical attention will be applied the problems Of those

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A GENTLEMAN who feels strongly that America

A GENTLEMAN who feels strongly that America
L n should have more national defense has written
this column letter. He says:
we all admit that is wrong and should he
summed as national policy. Yet the fact remains
that so far no has developed really workable
substitute for it,"
And let me hasten To remind him that there is
a very good reason for that. We never have been
able to get workable substitute battling because
We insist all the time upon more and more fighting
paraphernalia
1t is utterly futile, OF course for us to talk all
the time about how much we love and desire peace
While we whet bayonets build great battleshins
and manufacture more cannon
Even the most creduouS hardly would believe mr.
words while our actions belle them.
No man makes a gesture of friendship to his
nelghoor While pointing loaded pistol in his direc-
ton. Yet that is precisely what nations do when
they hold peace conventions and keep approprating
huge sums for future fighting
THERE have been, it seems to me- several yerv
good suggestions made for the establishment of
permanent peace. One of the best of recent ones
came from o. L. Bodenhamer former American
Legion commander. when he advocated universal war
service.
BY this he means that after the declaration of
war; every citizen and the property of every citizen
shall bear his and its proportonate share of the in
ternational conflict
This method would be at least partially effective
For when are fought so that the wealth of the
rich is spent recklessly poor mems lives hos
tilitieS will wane
1t is stupid for to continue to fool ourselves
to the holy causes of military campaigns. War should
be managed so that no man in any land could make
dollar Of extra profit out of it.
When We have become wise enough to do this
Just and simple thing We can have peace.

BenzOl Fumes Dangerous to Workers

a thorough medical examination
with particular reference to ex-
animation of the blood.
No one who has the slightest
sign of disease of the heart, lungs,
or kidneys, who has a tendency to
bleed, who has anemia, or any other
disturbance of the blood should not,
under any circumstances, engage in
an occupation where he comes into
contact with benzol.
Because of the danger connected
with the use of benzol. great chem
ical industrial manufacturers are
already hard at work trying to find
substitute to replace benzol as a
commercial solvent.
Furthermore, its use in industry
is already beginning to decrease, but
it is we'll for those who are in con-
tact with benzol to realize their
danger and to guard against it ac-
cordingly.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times-I have been a life
long resident of Indianapolis. 1t
seems that, just recently, different
people who voice their opinions have
been razzing one another. If it isn't
one thing, it's another.
We have too beautiful a country
to live in to be slamming the in
dividual. We all make mistakes.
None of us is perfect. I read re-
Gently, where certain party was
slamming Thomas A. Edison for
what he believed. I think it is
mighty little for any one to bring
up subject such as religion. No
matter what he believed, he has
passed on, and we should hold his
memory as one of the greatest in
history.
Colonel Lindbergh was censured
the same way, He was ridiculed for
his famous trip across the ocean.
These two men, one passed on, and
the other still living, should hold
big places in the heart of the ma
ton.
I, for one, believe that they are
real men. I can not do my coun-
try as great a service as these two
men have done, but they stand
out in my heart, and will live for
ever in my memory, just as has
Woodrow Wilson, our World war
President. People who always are
knocking one and another can not
prosper.
AS far as politics is concerned, I
am for the man, and not the party.
But 1 truthfully can say, we had
better times under a Democratic
administration. 1 am not saying
this to knock any political party.
I would like to see a President elect
ed who would bring old times back.
Everybody working, everybody hap
py. everybody getting square deal
and no more knocking.
Let us all boost. Give credit
where credit is due. There isn't a
Hoosier living who loves Indiana
better than I do. There isn't an
American who loves America any
better than I do. I am for my
state and country three-foId strong.
I am just plain working man, but
I know reason when I see it.
am glad to know The Indian

the people at heart. I am@not a
taxpayer, but bully for The Times

I hope they win. May the right

HOOSIER CITIZEN.
Editor Times-The false econom-
les, compounded of political expe-
diency and gross ignorance of the
facts, that Michael Foley dished~ up
in his speech before the Farmers
Club at the Chamber of Commerce
demands immediate correction.
I do not know what farmers
heard Mr.. Foley, but surely he took
them for great innocents when he
sought to raise their fears of Rus
sian competition in the world mar
ket. Mr.. Foley himself can hardly
credit with being so simple as to
believe entirely his own lurid
alarms.
Any one with the most elemen-
tary understanding of the facts
knows that Russia can not now or
in any reasonable future time be
an active competitor in the world
market. Russia'S job now and for
years to come is that of raising her
own standard of living. Any ap-
preciable production must be alb
sorbed Immediately in her own do
meStic markets.
If Russian production were dou-
bled tomorrow, Russia still would be
far short of satisfying her own
needs. 1t therefore is obvious that
she will enter the world market
only so far as she is obliged to ship
goods in payment of necessary for
eign purchases.
On our part, we can have no OBJ
lection to this, since we can not eX-
pect to sell to Russia unless we buy
from her, no more than we expect
to sell to England, Germany, or any
other country without buying.
Moreover our sales to Russia now
far exceed our purchases, and as
Russia proceeds in her development,
our trade with her is naturally
bound to increase and grow more
profitable.
Russia is, in fact, one of our most
promising future markets, and Mr.
Foley will do well to remember that
a dollar is a dollar, whether it comes
from Soviet Russia or capitahstic
England.
Mr.. Foley has raised an alarm
about Russian wheat and the only
explanation is that he has been too
busy with pardons and paroles to
study anything else. In 1880 Rus
STA resumed export of wheat for the
first time since. the war, and her
total tonnage amounted to hardly a
tenth of the pre-war figure.
Where is the menace to the Amer
lean farmer in that? The American
farmer is nenaced by the American
farmland not by Russias pitiful
small tonnage of export wheat used
to pay for purchases Of machines
and equipment.
Finally, Mr.. Foley decries the
Purdue engineers who have gone to
work in Russia. Does Mr.. Foley
suppose they would go 5000 miles
for jobs if they could find them at
home?
If Mr.. Foley wants to bring the
boys back, let him create jobs for
them back in America. In the
meantime, let us hope that he will
make no further Contributions to

Government League TO order an investigation of the
pontlcal activities of utility companies, matter

The league points out that Canada's Beauharnois

. Scheme Is Refreshing

THE scheme is refreshing in at
l. least one respect. It frees us
from the necessity of grub-staking
all other people before we do any,
thing for ourselves.
Thus far, we have proceeded on
the theory that since our economic
ills were of worldwide origin, we
could not hope to cure them with
out a worldwide remedy.
Laudable as such theory be from
the altruistic standpoint, it has
failed to work.
One finds it hard to criticise the
things we have done to help Euro
pean nations, but it is apparent
that we fooled only ourselves in
supposing that it would result in an
immediate return of prosperity for
America.
