town M E. church, services being

Mary Edith Longstreth, daugh-
ter of Joseph and Rachel Ann long
streth, entered upon this earthly
career March 10, 1880, an ae-
parted jan 8, 1888, making st~y
with us of SO years and n're
months. She is survived - her
father at. the home; brother oW-
ard of Pittsburgh, Pa, ard ifer,
Mrs. Florence Martin of Malta o.:
also three nieces, one nephew and
one grand niece. Her mother pre-
ceded her in death 16 years ago, al
so her sister Alta 10 years ago. She
united with the Methodist church at
Deavertown in 1899, under the pas
torate of Rev. p. H. Frye. and had
been a constant and faithful mem
Der ever since. She spent her entire
life at the family home, and since
the death of her mother had been
faithful in the care Of the home
and her father, always considering
his comfort and well being first.
Her constant companionship and as
sistance to her father will be sadly
missed by him, since there are no
others in the family who can SO
faithfully take her place Having
spent her entire life in this COM
munity, she will leave besides the
relatives, host of friends who but
must shed tear at her passing

NO CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR SALE

Indiana high school athletic championships are
not for sale
That is the key to the recent custer of Anderson
from the Indiana High School Athletic Association,
a voluntary membership organization Of 799 Hoosier
schools.
Anderson was dropped from the association by
the board of control last Saturday for period OF
one year.
: A bonus plan for distribution among the various
coaches Of gate receipts from athletic contests proved
Anderson's undoing. The I. H. S. A. a considers
athletic coaches as teachers Although the associa-
ton places no maximum limit on coaching salaries
1t forbids paid coaches" who receive any
extra pay salary, gifts, etc, from any outside
sources
Anderson high schools ALLEGATION of gross re-
ceipts" plan spur to the coaches to produce
the winners who would entice customers through
the gate. The I. H. S. A. A. charged and proved
that in an effort to produce championship basket
ball team, the ambition of every Hoosier city and
town, Anderson school officials permitted a star
hardwood performer to be imported from an adjoin-
ing state.
Anderson high school pupils 1000 strong went
on a one-day strike following the suspension by
the I. H. S. A. A. The walkout was not in protest
against the custer but against school officials who
allowed such conditions to exist They returned to
their classes only when complete investigation was
promised.
For once A. L. Trester, commissioner, and his
l. H. S. A. A. board of control supported by
citizens of a suspended city. Often referred to as
"czar' because of his great power in Indiana
scholastic athletics Trester has been the target of
many attacks
His nearly complete control has been the sub
ect of debate in legislative halls at the state capitol
Many attempts have been made to unseat him
from his powerful position.
But Anderson is not embittered by its loss of
chance to win the 1888 Indiana high school basket
ball championship. Many others have been antagon-
istic under similar conditions.
Numerous official and unofficial citizens commit
tees have called upon Treser but they seeking
information and facts, not vindication. They have
departed satisfied the custer just one
School men from all parts of the state have
complimented the I. H. S. A. "A board of control
on its action. Indiana citizens in general agree.
The association has proved once again it is intent
on keeping Indiana high school athletics clean and
fair. On these principles, the organization has
grown from an original membership of fifteen in
1903 to its present enrolment of 799
The I. H. S. A. A. is rated highly in national
circles and one of the is the fact that in
the Hooser state high school athletics still are
sports, not big business.

TOWARD BETTER BANKING

When Charles E. Mitchell and Hugh Baker re-
signed chairman of the National City bank and
president of the National City Company respec-
lively, they were paying the penalty for mixing
banking business with stock promotion affiliate.
They were not unique in this. The practice is
widespread in American banking. 1t is a product
of the boom era and stands condemned by the boom
spirit which produced it. That these two New York
bankers considered it necessary to resign the
result of this practice to the effect of public
criticism upon the bank, inspires hope that the
practice itself is on the way out.
The senate committees counsel, Ferdinand Pc
cora by few telling instances, showed the country
how banks have been able to present good face to
the public at all times by handing bad debts and
other embarrassing responsibilities to afliates.
Through these af1liates, the bankers became
ngh-powered statesmen of stocks and impresarios of
commercial business Having the af1liates a
dumping ground for their mistakes or failures, the
bankers inevitably took risks they never would have
dared or cared to take bankers.
And the public in the case of Peruvian bonds,
which the National City Company hoated knowing
Peruvian affairs to be in a precarious position
shouldered huge losses.
Mr. Mitchell as a senate committee witness, him
self suggested the passing of the affiliate system
when he said:
IF you ask me on the backlook, I would say il
was unfortunate and I wouldn't do it again. look
forward to the time when we will be out of the
business entirely"
And in Detroit, Henry Ford, agreeing to take over
two great national banks, sounded a note in
banking when he announced policy of strict
banking.
II now is up to the national congress and state
legislatures to take prompt steps to expedite the
end which the senate revelations demand. Banking
IN America henceforth must be banking and not
ahliated with stock promotion.

alone to cure the depression. But If undertaken
soon enough and extensively enough and if con-
fined to the most useful projects they unquestonably
can aid employment and business, while improving
the economic and social structure Of the country.
The other major point a the Smith program
besides debt moratorium and tariff reductlon-was
recognition of Russia. Not enough emphasis has
been given to this point in the public mind though
its importance is understood fully by business leaders
and by diplomats.
Russia is the only place can get large foreign
market quickly for much of surplus production
and market which has the unusual distinction in
these times Of defaulting its trade payments
Immediate Russian recognition is essential, not
only to revive business but prevent spread of the
Far Eastern war and preserve the peace treaties.

ABOVE BOARD OR BELOW

The attempted assassination of the President
elect is being used to cite congress to pass the Dies

ICES deportation of all alien Communists. The def
milton of Communism, however, is worded so loosely
that under it an alien could be deported for par
ticipating in strike for urging the forcble
throw of the Machado tyranny in Cuba for hav-
ing even the faintest connection with Russia.
The ESlick bill makes it crime punishable by
ten years for citizen to advocate promote the
overthrow Of the government of the United States
by force and violence" But this under Section 3
includes the assaultng of any officer of the Unitsd
States"
Here again it must be remembered that the
courts have given a loose meaning to the word
assault"
Thomas Paine and Carl Schurz could have been
deported under the Dies bill Thomas Jefferson
and James Madison could have been jailed under
the Eslck bill. The Puritans, Huguenots the Irish
Fenians, all could have been suppressed.
Laws like these drive revolt into cellars and make
it really dangerous. They have no deterrent effect

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TINE Manhattan grandmother who lists her ac-
Il compishments as dancing drinking and smok-
ing and who at IS likes to make the rounds of the
speakeasies. is something new under the sun. But
don't get the idea that she is to be found only in
New York City For she lives in every community
in the land.
She made her first appearance in the twentieth
century, but only the nineteenth could have pro-
duced her For she is creation of the taboos and
restrictions that hedged about the girl of that pc
Rod
When a woman is reared so that all her life she
has had no fun playtme, she is likely to develop
into a prancing, slightly undgnifed and very pa
thetic modern old lady.
These women make you want to laugh and to
cry They are snatching at pleasures denied them
in youth and are induging in recreatons that they
long ago should have outgrown.
Most of them married too soon. In their teens
they assumed responsibilities that the of 80
now shrinks from facing. They depressed,
frustrated enslaved. They only could conform.
T~HEN, suddenly, the door was opened before
them. Everywhere there was chatter about
feminine liberty and freedom. The youngsters
smoked and drank; therefore, grandmothers believed
that there must be in these habits some potent
charm that could give them back their youth.
imagine that most of them disinusioned
sadly But it is comforting to know that our civil
zation is gracious and tolerant enough to give old
people the right to do as they please and to go
where they like. even though they are greeted by
disappointments when they get there.
Probably good many of them find it just as
hard to live up to the modern idea of fun" it
for them to assume in their younger days an
artificial dignity.
For right now, even the children are discovering
that one does not escape loneliness by running into
speakeasies, nor find contentment by herding into
mobS.
Personally, I'd be glad to turn all the drinking
places over to Grandpa and Grandma, if by this
method we could keep the youngsters out Of them.

AL SMITHS ADVICE

Alfred E. Smith, in his testimony before the
senate committee Tuesday stressed the need for quick
increase in public construction for depression relief.
He is not the only to say this For many months
congress and the country have listened to the advice
of experts urging this same program. But nothing
is done.
Even now the Wagner BILL which would hberate
at least So 900 of Reconstruction Finance
poraton funds for this purpose, is waylaid in the
house.
How the Democratic leaders, who have absolute
control of the house, can hold up this minimum
LEGISLATION, which is in direct conformity with the
Roosevelt program, is beyond public understanding.
AS pointed out by Smith in his advocacy OF more
public works the relief goes not only directly to the
men employed on these jobs but also to many differ
ent parts Of the country which supply the materials
for construction.
Increased public works. of course, are not enough

XXTANTED: The owner of a
w yacht who will go on a
cruise of exploration for the sake
of astronomy.
Readers know that astronomers
always are hoping for bigger and
bigger telescopes. In all probable
ity, this is the first time that the
star-gazers need a yacht as an
instrument Of scientific research.
Here is the reason: Astrono-
mers have to find an island from
which to observe the eclipse of the
sun which takes place on June 8,
1887.
Every one remembers the solar
eclipse of Aug. 81, 1882. It's path
swept down from the Arctic Cir
Gle across eastern Canada and
New England.
Thousands upon thousands Of
tourists crowded into the eclipse
area. More than fifty expeditions
from American, Canadian, British,
German, and Japanese observa-
tories set up their instruments at
strategic points. Clouds, however,
spoiled the work of all but four or
five of these eXpeditions)
But it won't be so easy to get
ringside seat at the 1887 eclipse.
The path of this eclipse will be
5000 miles long and $50 miles
wide. But it starts on the Pacific
ocean at point north Of the Fiji
Islands, sweeps eastward and
northward across the equator,
then back down over the equator
again, ending at sunset on the
coast of South America.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

A LAS, one fears that Lent, in
L n stead of being a period of
inner discipline and cleansing, has
become little more than a relief
from the dizzy social whirl; a time
of moral manicuring!
Penitence? Yes, for few de-
vout souls, and they are the salt
of the earth; but for the mass OF
church folk it is little more than
a form. Or else a time when we
give up smoking, or dancing, for
six weeks and think ourselves
worthy of halo.
No doubt we need to deal with
the little sins which, like gray
foxes, eat away our peace; but is
there to be no prayer and fasting
for the huge social sins which
make human life a hell? No
broken and contrite heart for the
supreme sin of war, which desc
lates humanity and leaves trails
of skeletons across the earth; no
mourning for the miseries and
mutilaticns of the peoples laid
waste by slaughter and pillage?
Shall there be no repentance for
racial rancor, thing slithered
with blood and the breeder of bit
terness, or for the brutality Of re-
ligious bigotry which blinds us to
brotherhood? No Sackcloth and
ashes for the sin of schism which
divides the church and makes it
impotent; for petty-mindedness,
for our Pickwickian talk about
unity which few mean and fewer
want?
No bitter sorrow that the Cos
pei of Jesus has become in our
hands religion of easy ediflca-
ton, rather than daring moral
adventure?
Il
CHALL there be no profound re-
~ pentance-that is to say, a
change of mind, as the word
means-in face Of the incredible
maladjuStment of industrial life,
whereby we have too much food
while starvation stalks the streets
of our cities.
Wickedness may be forgiven by
the mercy of God, but who can
