to prove that during the years Of

America were merely mango eaters.
And during all the voyage home I

money for education and a bit less

1t seems to me that unless we

well consider our economic condi-

themselves jobs or to sacrifice the
will of their constituents for per-
Sonal political patronage.
The beer industry should be car
ried on as a legitimate trade or
business, in which politics should
play on part, and in the granting
of these permits politicians and per-
petual job seekers should be ig-
nored; as it was intended, by this
bill, to legalize, under restrictions,
the sale of beer in line with the
laws of the federal government and
not for the purpose of creating po-
litical patronage.

FRANCE STILL SEEKS SECURITY

FRANCE STILL SEEKS SECURITY
II the war-weary shade of old Georges
l. Clemenceau stalks within earshot of
troubled Europe these days, it must be enter
tanning some curious reflections on the vanity
OF human endeavors
At the Versailles peace conference, Clemen-
ceau had but one slogan-Security for France.
Everything else was subordinated to this; by
sheer force of his personality and skill at ne
gotiation, Clemenceau wove this thesis deeply
into the treaty.
Wilson was there trying to get peace based
on his fourteen points, peace of justice and
clemcncy; and Lloyd George, for all that he
had just campaigned across England on a
"Hang the Kaiserl" platform, was ready to
help HIM.
But Clemenceau triumphed France was to
be rendered forever safe from attack. What
II happened the old militaristic clique in
Germany was to be made impotent. There
would be no more threats from across the
Rh'ne.
ven, Clcmenceau had his way. The treaty
was bis, in its essentials. Germany was left
crushed France rose triumphant.
And today, less than fifteen years after
that treaty put together the menace from
beyond the Rhine is on its feet again The
peace of Europe is once more threatened by
the old Franco German quarrel.
The old militarstic crowd has been re-
vived France talks openly of her readiness to
fight for what she has gained. Bayonets
glisten along half dozen frontiers.
This, then, is the final fruits of the treaty
which, if it did nothing else, was to remove
France forever from the danger of war with
Germany.
Ideallst Wilson and Cynic Clemenceau met
and the cynic won; and the current of world
history today seems to be bent on proving that
the cync was not as good guide for practical
affairs as the idealist would have BEEN
Some day, perhaps. we shall learn that Of
all men the hard-headed, dsillusioned, and
severely practical" man can be the least re-
liable of leaders. The scheme that the vision
airy wilson outlined in 1918 probably was very
impractical; but would it have resulted in a
worse all-round mess than the one which now
threatens the peace of the world?

Beer and Bier

BY C. F. Howard
AS a constant reader of The
Times, I wish to say that in every
township in the U. S. A, let the
young people put on a program of
"A Testimony Meeting" in songs,
essays, talks, speeches, declama-
tons, dialogs, prayer, Bible read
ings, music, &c, with their par
ents telling what they saw and
heard and experienced in the
saloon days, of woe, sorrow, mis-
cry. poverty, distress and horrors,
and victory for the dry cause is
certain.
There is not wet on earth who
would pray to God for his cause.
He would be afraid that God
would strike him dead.

drinking which does not satisfy,

1t is particularly important to
watch the mental attitude of the
elderly. All too many people when
they become aware of the fact that
they are growing old become pes
simistic, feel that life is passing
them by and begin to neglect their
personal appearance, their tidiness
and social duties.
Such an attitude hastens the age
ing process. On the other hand
there may be some who feel, age
creeping upon them and, in a desire
to avoid it, go to the other extreme
Of abusing their bodies seriously

The older person who is wise, SAYS
DR.. Barker, frankly will recognize

Physicians come to appreciate the

7 TNCLE SAM wants your gold, all of it, and
~ by the first of May He has said so through
his duly anonted spokesman, the President
Furthermore he has said that he will do things
if you fail to come across.
Now don't waste any time talking about the
Constitution, because it won't do you any good.
Like SO out of every 1O0 you merely have made
big mistake regarding your rights in gold.
You can't uphold the gold standard and in
sst that gold reserve is essential to the ma
tional credit without making gold public prop
erty.
You may think that whatever gold you can
lay your hands on belongs to you forever and
day You may argue that it is just as inviolate
as any other kind of property.
You may believe that no power on earth can
| force you to give it up You may assert that
any one and every one is entitled to grab 1t ana
hoard it in case of an emergency.
But suppose every one were to do that, what
would become Of the reserve?
| You just can't have your cake and eat it. If
gold reserve is so all-important, then the
government has a right to take such measures
as are necessary to safeguard it.
COLD as a common commodity is one thing,
" but gold as the evidence of a sound currency
and public credit is quite another
Many people have boosted the gold standard
because of the deluson that if anything hap
pened they could tuck a little of the precious
metal away in the old sock and be safe. They
have imagined that because certain nicely en-
graved pieces of paper promised to pay much
in gold of given weight and fineness, nothing
could stop them from doing this.
In other words, they have thought solely Of
their own welfare in connection with gold, and
have taken it for granted that if their own well
fare involved national bankruptcy nobody would
do more than sit around and complain.
It's curious how illogically We can think, how
complacently we can dismiss public interest,
though we helped to create it, and how easily
we can convince ourselves that other people are
not quite so clever, especially those who hold
| divergent views.
We are learning something about gold and
about the governments power to deal with it,
and the chances are that we shall learn more.
! UNLESS am very much mistaken, this
~ statute that President Roosevelt has dug up
will be marker in the history of gold 1t en-
powers the government TO call for gold and i'm
pound it, not only without going off the gold
standard but in such way as makes the
standard stronger
But where does the individual or the cor
poration get of?
We can take our bonds, certificates and Sc
curitieS and collect the gold they promise as
usual, but we can not keep 1t except by per-
| mission of the government. Gold has become
public property because of the gold standard,
| and it will remain public property as long as
that standard survives.
Our very faith in gold has destroyed our pri-
vate rights IN 1t. Our very inSistence that it be
made the basis of national credit has created a
situation that lustifes the government in forcing
us to give it up for the sake of public interest

1t has been announced by the
newspapers and over the radio that
I, as the joint representative of
Allen and Whitley counties, have
applied for and received a beer
license for Allen county.
I wish to advise the people that
this is not true. I have not ap-
piled for a beer license nor received
permit and I will not, while I am
a member of the legislature, apply
for a beer license or accept per-
nit.
While I vigorously opposed the
Capitalization of power bill that
centered in the Governor such far
reaching dictatorial powers and au-
thority as was conferred on him,
did support the present beer bill.
While not in sympathy with the
method set up for its operation, Or
the fact that it failed to permit
draught beer, the necessity for some
restrictions against the return of
the open saloon, at the present time,
had to be provided for and this was
the only compromise measure upon
which the beer bill could be passed
But 1 do want to make this plain;
1 was not voting for measure to
furnish myself a job and I always
have felt that no member of the
legislature should accept, personally
and for himself, the benefits of the
laws passed by the legislature of
which he is a member, because the
legislators should enact laws for the
welfare of the people of Indiana
and it would be bad precedent to
set for men who have been elected

BOBBY PACH0
COMING BACK

Declared to be better than ever
before. and he was plenty good
enough when fighting here, Bobby
Pacho comes back to the Imperial
Valley Athletic club arena Friday
night after an absence of nearly
two years. in which time he has
come to be recognized as one of the
best lightweights in the west.
Pacho will meet Young Corpus,
a hard -hitting Mexican youngster,
who is said to have plenty of stuff,
and while shy on experience is fig
ured as being able to give Pacho a
stiff battle.
Their bout will be the second half
of a double main event, the other
bringing together Star Frisco, Ma
Mia, and Ernie Jurado, of Los An
geles.
Frisco and Jurado are flyweights
the smallest class in professional
boxing. and they have speed to
burn, according to ring followers
Frisco fought here a few weeks
ago, meeting Alfred Austin. The
latter put up a good scrap, but
against the more experienced Fris-
co he had no chance to cop the
verdict. Jurado is billed as the
undefeated Mexican champion and
his latest victim was Baby Pal
Moore at Ventura.
Babe Manila and Alfred Austin
will mix in a four round special,
the former being fresh from a
knockout victory in Ventura last
week Austin, who was to have
appeared on the card here Friday
night, which was postponed on ac-
count Of rain, will have the bene-
fit Of an extra week in training
Carlos Chipris and Archie Grant
who stole the show at the Olympic
three weeks ago, are booked for
the opener and are due to give
the card a fine send-off.

EXPECTING HOT
SCRAP TONIGHT

LOS ANGELES. Jan. "a U.P)-
A battle royal is expected at the
Olympic tonight when Baby Ariz-
mendi, young Mexican pretender
to the featherweight crown, mikes
leather with Speedy Dado in a
scheduled 10-round bout.
Arizmendi and the little Fill
pino, a bantam. were generally re-
garded as evenly match with each
holding a decision over the other
Indications were they would go to
the post at even money.
Because of the prize at stake,
the diminutiye fighters were ex-
pected to wage a lively battle in
the rubber match. The winner
has been promised a bout with Kid
Chocolate or Freddy Miller, both
holding substantial claims to the
featherweight title. Miller is rec
ognized by the National Boxing as
sociation while Chocolates claims
are supported by the New York
boxing commission. Arizmendi is
backed by the California commits
sion.
Arizmendi. who fights best at
1913, was forced to scale down to
122 for tonight's scrap. Dado prob
ably will weigh in around ll9.
Both Dado and Arizmendi have
a heavy pull at the box office,
promising near capacity turnout
of fans. Five four-rounders are
scheduled on the preliminary card.

PLAYERS SIGN
UP CONTRACTS

IDltcC truss Stdll SuiiCopoiiuChe
NEW YORK, Jan. "a. = Headed
by the distinguished Lefty Gomez,
six players signed with the Yam
kees, Giants and Dodgers in the
last "a hours, indicating that the
threatened holdout war in the New
York area may be merely a mild
skirmish.
Four players entered the Yankee
fold: Vernon Gomez, ace southpaw
pitcher; Arndt Jorgens, second
string catcher, and two pitching
recruits, Don Brennan and Russell
Van Alta. Jack Blonde" Ryan
newly acquired shortstop, signed
with the Giants, and Tony Cuccin-
clio, star second baseman, signed
up a Dodgers contract.
Senor Gomez was an irate hold
cut, but apparently he and Ed
Barrow, business manager, COM
promised regarding Lefty's de-
mands for a larger raise. He had
protested an increase of about ST.
900 to his reported $4,000 fol-
1882.
Barrow said a weekend confer
ence with Lou Gehrig had con-
vinced him that Lou would sign
shortly. This leaves only Babe Ruth
and the veteran pitcher Herb Pen
mock as announced holdouts.
When Jack Ryan signed with
the Giants, it brought their signec
total to seven. Ryan was obtalnec
last month from Buffalo. He's
former Holy Cross outfielder who
went to the Chicago White Sox, In
dianapolis, Atlanta and Buffalo
The other signed Giants are Man
ager Bill Terry, Hughie Critz, Car
Hubbell, Mel OFT, George Davis ane
Glen Spencer.
Tony Cuccinello, obtained b.
Brooklyn from Cincinnati in th'
Babe Herman deal last March, i
the third dodger to sign. Lefty O.
Doul, the National leagues cham
.pion batsman, and Pitcher Val
Mungo accepted terms previously
Hack Wilson, round outfielder
Catcher AL Lopez and Pitcher Daz
zy Vance, apparently are the Dodg
ers' only holdouts.
