Out of Dark
BY CHRISTIE RUDOLPH

BY CHRISTIE RUDOLPH
I've pierced my fingers with rushing
green reeds,
And purloined the song Of weeping
birds,
Through the atoms of smouldering
earth the words
OF the wheat sheaves, the whisper
Of weeds.
I've skinned Ger the surface of pale
mist air,
And passed music deep in the mid
die of wind;
I've attained far heights. and en-
tangled willows thinned
Reaching the wound of flowers.
Pulsing and fair
Are the Shiny green worms that
cross through the ground,
Strange are the eyes of great float
ing mammals,
Obscure are the footprints that Ger
the sand tramples
Most lovely my vision. this new life
I've found.
Again I may walk with my eyes
closed and knowing,
Find beauty in lower life. yet far
greater than l
Are these wriggling insects that
crawl meath the sky.
Now I can stand with the trees,
and hold the wind blowing.

A SLOW JOB

NOTHING is more difficult or futile than
efforts to lay down a general rule for
opening closed banks. maximum of intelli-
gence and care is required, and that means
separate Judgment for each case.
But, since there is growing pressure from
both political and business sources aimed at
forcing the government to speed the process
of reopening banks, it probably is a safe
generalization to say that in this matter espe-
cially haste means waste
It is all very we'll to emphasize that frozen
assets hold up business revival
But one thing the country can not stand is
another defstion Of confidence. All the new
faith and the new emergency recovery ma
Chinery built up by the Roosevelt admlnstra-
tion could be swept away in short order by
another flood of bank failures. Therefore. 1t
is important that the banks being opened do
not close again.
The administration has been operating
with this basic factor in mind We believe that
the administration should be supported in its
policy of making sure that banks are not
opened until they are sound enough to stay
open.

FORD AND THE MIRA

GONE kind of showdown between Henry
~ Ford and NRA is due by Sept s. Mean
while. everybody is specializing about the sig
niHcance of Fords apparent reluctance to sign
he automobile code and associate himself
under 1t with his competitors. from whom ne
has always held aIoof.
1t may be that Ford Just is exercising his
genius for getting himself and his automobile
talked about.
This appears 10 be likely. in view Of the
fact that there is not much difference between
the terms at which Ford employees work and
the terms laid down for employers in the code
1t long has been his policy to delay impor-
tant announcements concerning his business
until his competitors have all trotted out their
stuff. Perhaps the present argument is just
a buiId-up for the announcement Of what Ford
intends 10 do under NRA.
II ne doesn't sign. OF course. the next move
will be up to to President Roosevelt and his
Blue Eagle chief. General Hugh S. Johnson
II the contingency arises. there is no doubt
they will move.

AT LAST!

Nov that the matter has been suggested
it seems odd that Huey p. Long has
got by for such long time with so few scars
and scratches
For practically every minute during the
last fifteen or twenty years he has been iv-
ing up to the slogan of Let the fur fly" He
has slung enough mud to 1ll a dozen Missis-
sippi deltss. He has beloved snake" at
this man, burglar at that one, thumbed
his nose with his right hand and his left.
The fact that he always stood behind his
constitutional immunity as an of1iceholder
does not lessen the surprise OF it. He is an
incredible tribute to the peaceableness of his
associates.
The senator has explained that he was
'ganged." In other days men used to come
back with such imprints and tell about .hav-
ing amnesia.
But the senator needs no explanation for
so natural an occurrence. In . career such
as his few sinners are only mild voca-
tional hazard Senator Long has been ex-
ceptionally lucky.

EXIT THE EYE GOUGERS

4 ENERAL JOHNSONS explanation of the
~ MIRA as the Marquis of Oueensbury rules
of The business struggle is the best We have
seen vet The kind of freedom America en-
loved in the past Of the esr-biting, blow
below -the-b belt variety. That was fine for the
plug -Uglies But il was not the kind Of free
dom OF much value to the great majority who
wanted to fight fair.
There we're no rules to the game. Therefore,
victory usually went to the moa ruthless and
INSCRIPTIONS. It was about as civilized as a
tooth and claw encounter Of Cur jungle an
cestors.
Purpose of the MIRA and other New Deal
recovery legislation is to trade the insecurity
and chaos Of the old dog-eat-dOg business tur
moil for the security and order which comes
with public acceptance of fair rules of compe-
tition.
That. as General Johnson poined out in
his Boston address. is the only way to protect
the individual liberty and prosperity of the
honest business men and Of the WORKERS farm
ers, and consumers who constitute the Amer
lean masses.
According to the colorful but accurate
johnson analogy:
In the days when your fathers were build
ing these cradles of CpoliticaD liberty that
have become our shrines, the manly art of
boxing was not unknown in the Angio-Saxon
world. But it was different.
1T was o. K in those days to insert the
ball of your thumb in your opponents eve
socket and gently gouge his eyebsn out or. if
the whim seized you and opportunity offered,
you could put the point of your knee in his
groin and rupture him Now we have changed
all that-in boxing.
In business we still were in the eye

to revise the rules. Throughout our industry

TO fight fair-to practice his rugged individual
ism but to practice it above the belt-that
man always has been at the mercy of every
economic eye-gouger who chose to gouge. 1t is
a cause of depression and an obstacle to recov-
cry and there is no sense in it,"
But under the MIRA, industry, sitting down
with representatives of labor and consumers,
draws up rules for the game. Then
The government says what 1t is willing to
indorse and support. and the result is code of
fair competition-a sort of Marquis of Queens
bury engagement to keep the competitive
struggle clean and leave little human
vreckage as possible in it's wake"
That is what the Blue Eagle stands for

IDLE HANDS

THE New Deal fight against unemployment
is more than fight against hunger dis
ease, and want. It is fight to save whole
generation of young people denied opportunity
to grow into useful citizens.
recent survey OF unemployment ~ New
York City disclosed that the percentage of
idleneSs is higher among wage earners under
20 than among any other class. With wages
battered down to incredible levels, employers
have chosen to hire adults rather than young
people.
Boys and girls under 20 have been left with
nothing to do. not even with schools to attend
during the time Of enforced idleness.
And the old copy book maxim about idle
hands is as true ssut ever was.
In nation where industry always has been
acclaimed as major virtue where the climb
to financial success has been taught youth as
its principal aspiration, where marriage and
home building must wait on a considerable de-
gree Of success in getting and holding a job,
the situation Of youth denied the right to work
is dangerous indeed. Morale and character
may be crippled permanently
Youth not very surprisingly. has been turn
ing to crime. And those who resist this temp
tation are forming habits Of defeat that unit
them for future success.
NRA has attacked the problem of child
labor. The problem of child idleness remains

functions of control and perpetual
preservation through their various
conservation commissions, but with
very little real progress.
Rampant individualism has ex-
plotted every foot of ground and
every heritage of nature and now is
relaxing only because values have
been squeezed out. Where values
remain, the stream and land ex-
pIoiters still affront every decent
protest.
The man who damages or pollutes
stream, even where he owns it and
has title, must learn to think, in
terms of the state, of the common
good, as superior to his own right
or power.
We long have proudly called our
selves sovereign voters. Well, if
each of us, by virtue of the grant
of suffrage, is sovereign, we must
learn to think and act as sovereigns.
A sovereign must think and act for
the common good, else he can not
long hold his sovereignty.
There is no reason why the prin-
ciples of the NRA can not be ex-
tended in each state to state conser-
walton. despite the present system
of feudal titles. The feudaI system
of individual ownership also applies
to our factories and mines and all
other activities, but all have agreed
to renounce these private rights of
absolution for the common good.
A really wonderful opportunity
now is presented to the Indiana con-
servation commission by reason of

that you are old-fashioned because
you still are modest, or who laughs
at your principles. You would not
relinquish your purse to him for
any such shabby reasoning. Why
give him that which is more pre-
cious?
Be not beguiled by that destruc-
tive voice which tells you that
whatever men may do, women also
may do. For that is the foulest lie
that ever has deluded girls. Be-
lieve in yourself. Do not sell the
respect Of your own soul for this
penny's worth of affection.
For the man you will one day
love keep yourself clean. Thus you
will realize the deepest fulfllment
Of life.
And whatever happens to you
after that will be of small signifi-
canoe beside the tremendous fact
that you did not betray your true
love for any shoddy excitsFlents.

past religion has been aid TO conservatism
rather than to social progress.
Much organized religion has been and is
reflection Of the codes and morals Of the priv
legged groups who make UP It's adherents The
church frequently has been conformed to this
world rather than acted as q Transforming
agent"
Dean Iuccock finds four contributions
which religion may make to social radicalism.
II supplies zeal and energy through the con-
viction that the individual is acting in rapport
with cosmic causes. 1t inspires sympathy for
human suffering. II produces social rebels and
reforming prophets. l. supplies standards by
which to Judge greed, social evils and eco
nomic oppression.
Rabbi Israel believes that he can detect
signs OF increasing radicalism in religion. The
first great movements against the evils Of early
capitalism following the industrial revolution
we're carried out by secular agencies often in
the face of clerical opposition.
Beginning, however with the work Of
Maurice and Kingsley and the encyclicals of
Pope Leo XIII, the church has come to reckon
with the sufferings of those who have been
sacrificed on the altar of riches and cupdity
While all Catholicism can not be judged
by the fearless polemics of Father Coughlin
and Father Cox, still Catholicism frequently
has come out against the gross materialism Of
American capitalism.
In Father Ryan it has an unsurpassed cru
sader for social justice. Among the Protestants
the pioneering work Of Walter Rauschenbush
has borne fruit in the labors of DR.. Harry F.
Ward, Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell, and
others, and in the striking Report of the In
terchurch World Movement on the steel strike
Of 1919.
The Central Conference of American Rab-
bis also has taken aggressive stand for a
revision of the captalistic order
The trend right in the church seems
to be in the direction Of greater liberalism.
II was the church report on Centralia, Wash.
which finally secured some semblance of de-
layed justice in that lamentabIs situation.
1t was band of eminent churchmen who
defled the threats Of Kentucky coal operators
and sheriffs visited the mining areas there
and exposed the atrocious conditions. Church
bodies and their affiliates issue more devastat-
ing attacks upon unrestrsined capitalism than
emerge from any secular source save the
Socialist and Communist parties.
There is one major limitation ON religious
radicalism. The water of supernatural theol-
ogy still appears to be thicker than the blood
of common devotion to social justice and
human betterment.
This not only prevents modernist church
men from cooperating with benevolent agnos-
tics like Clarence Darrow, but even leads them
to shy off from such advanced modernists as
the humanists.
We never shall have any radical religion
worth the name so long as it remains a closed
shop, limited to devotees OF supernaturalism

BY Delos A. AIig.
l wish to congratulate The Times
on the series of articles exposing
stream pollution in Indiana.
Every true Hoosier is back of
stream restoration and the saving
and restoration of our streams and
the banks should be the next great
work of our Indiana conservation
commission.
A real and wonderful opportunity
now is presented to the commission.
The state is harboring, at government
expense, $500 capable young men,
practically all of whom would like
nothing better than to do something
worth while for conservation in the
good old state.
So far as the public Knows, no real
plan has been formulated to utilize
the potentially valuable services of
these boys. It were certainly a
shame if they be kept at the great
expense of the taxpayers and no real
and lasting good came of it.
One thing which has prevented
stream conservation in the past Is
our system of land tenures. Our
system of land ownership is of
feudal derivation and is absolute,
even against the state, except as to
right of eminent domain.
On non-navigable streams riparian
owners have title to the thread of
the stream. Under such Circum-
stances, state governments and con-
Servation commissions have felt that
their hands were tied. Of course
this is not true, for a state must
have power to rectify wrongs, else
it could not exist, and it has a broad
avenue of action under the police
power.
Free individualism has been ram
pant in the United States, and per-
hapS necessarily so, but it has
brought many evils. A new social
order is in progress, which restraints

The feudal system of land tenure
in Europe did not work the harm
1t has occasioned in America. In
the former continent the land was
divided in estates, each with it's
overload who conserved his streams
and banks, forests and game.
But in America the only thought
of division of lands was minute and
exhaustive exploitation, with no
overload to protect the land for the
benefit of the state and posterity.
The states never should have sur
rendered title to their streams and
banks and never should have sur
rendered the functions of an over
lord. In late years the states have
been trying to exercise and regain

Proper Diet Vital to Good Constitution

A SUITABLE food supply is the
L n very basis of health. When
recruits were examined during the
World war, it was found that a sub
stantial proportion were not in good
health, due to the fact that they
had not received proper nutrition
during that period of life when the
body grows most rapidly.
1t is well established that a we'll
nourished body can resist disease,
but a poorly nourished one does
not. All specialists in diseases of
children agree that the child fed
at the breast by a well-nourished
mother is capable of withstanding
conditions that would be fatal to
a child fed artif1cially and perhaps
improperly.
Quite frequently the children of
the poor, who are fed by their
mothers, show remarkable resist
ance to disease, whereas children

JUGGLING WITH WORDS

IT Is hard to escape the feeling that some
one has been playing with words in con-
nection with the automobile industry's new
code.
The industrial recovery act states fatty
that no man may be denied employment on
account Of his union affiliations, If any, and
that all employees shall be perfectly free to
organize as they see 1T
The code says that employers may hire
and fire workers as they please without re-
gard to their union connections, if any.

sections seem to mean two entirely different
things, and it is very hard to see how

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
THE COAL CODE

TINE bisuminous coal industry has tried
Il anarchy and failed. Now it is back to
order and peace. II the recovery act had ac-
comphShed nothing more than this, it would
have been very much worth while.
The new agreement being written under the
watchful eve Of the Blue Eagle promises better
DAYS for the coal miner than he ever has
known. But this Is not all. 1t promises sta
bility and security for mine owners such as
they never have enjoyed in the era Of cut
throat competition.
In fact, mine owners probably will gain
more immediate benefits from general recog-
milton Of the United Mine Workers of America
even than workers Companies have been min
ing coal at loss for years forced to all sorts
of tricks and devices to cut their losses, con-
stantly undercut by development OF new fields
with cheaper and cheaper labor, markets con-
stantly lost by freight differentals, so that the
whole enterprise seemed hopeless
Under the new agreement, labor costs will
be the same in various regions. and calculabe
IN all. With the possibility of disaffected labor
cut to a minimum the prospects for profits
rise proport1onately.
On the other hand, organized labor stands
to gain far more than wage and hour scales In
the new coal code and the right to belong to
the union of its choice.
Labor has suffered from the sickness Of the
industry Industry can prosper only when its
workers prosper, too, and when they are con-
tent in the exercise of a measure Of Seh-gov-
eminent.
Incidentally the United Mine Workers
union should remember that selfgovernment
also involves respect for the rights OF the mi
nority In the so-called progressive unions.
Economic democracy is as important today
as political democracy. There were learned
men, even at the time the Constitution of the
United States was written, who believed that
political democracy could mean only the down.
fall of this government.
There are men today who look with equal
fear and distaste upon the small measure of
economic democracy which unionism repre-
sents Yet trial of the last will convince, as
the trial of the first has done, of its virtues.
The recovery administration, the coal OPP
orators, and the United Mine Workers are all
to be congratulated, as is the country in which
this latest stride toward industrial democracy
has taken place
