POPE PLUS XI WILL ASCEND
 HOLY STAIRCASE
Date For Head of Church's Act of Devotion
 to Be Set
By THOMAS E. MORGAN.


 Vatican City--pope Plus XI vii! perform the act of the most humble pilgrim and ascend the Holy Stair case on his knees, reclting prayer or each of the 33 steps. the United Press has learned. The act gains for the doer, 900 years indulgence.
 The exact date has not been set, but the Holy Father decided on give soiemnity to the Holy Year of 1883.
 Iscvcred Places.
 The Holy Staircase" Is one of the most revered places of worship and adoratIon. Tradition claims 1t as the original staircase on which Christ ascendsd when led befor" pontius Pllate and was therefore believed to form q part of the house of the Roman governor It was brought to Rome by St Helen. mother of Constantine. and placed near the Church of the Lateran, where it has remained ever since.
 No foot can touch the Holy Staircase. and for that reason any one wishing to ascend 1t must as- ceDd 1t kneeling. It is marble bLdlTcdbe, put tDe IndTDIe IHS De- come worn that 1t has been cOv- cred with wood perforated with holes so that the faithful can see the actual staircase.
 Other Treasures.
 The building which houses it also is the custodian of some of the great treasures of the Roman Catholic church. Within it also is guarded the sanctihed "Sancta Sanctorum," or ''Holy of Iiolies," which was private altar of the Popes, dating back into antiquity There also is a tradition that it formed part of tho Holy Of Holics" of the Temple of Jerusa- lem. Only the Pope can celebrate mars before thls altar.
 When the Pope goes to perform this supreme act of humility. he wlll celebrate mass privately in the Sancta Sanctorum. only hiA most intimate preIates of the papal court will be present. as the occasion cannot become q public affair

THE G. A. R. PARADES

THE adjectives long have become familiar
they trudged painfully around Monument
Circle they hobbled bravely through the
rain and mist behind the flag that few above
Round Top at Gettysburg or huttered in the
battle smoke over the Valley Of Virginia"
The ranks of Indiana G. A. r. have
dwindled to a handful. But these veterans of
the war between the States hold tightly to
their ancient glories and their comradeships,
wearing their forage caps Of the SOS. 1t is the
same in France and Germany and England in
Italy and Turkey and other countries.
Wars breed their heroes and the heroes
become old men, with their stories which few
care to hear. They smoke their pipes and in
the smoke dream their ancient dreams, seeking
the solace of a thing that has fed.
This is characteristic Of war. It creates
a Camaraderie that men like to preserve as an
emotional crutch.
But there has grown up difference in the
outlook Of crops of soldiers Perhaps virtually
every living soldier of the Civil war Identifies
himself proudly with that war But the
millions who engaged in the last great
encounter include large percentage who forty
or fifty years from now will not care to don
their ancient military regalia. They will not
march in the rain bravely.
They may be sitting in old folks homes or
in armchairs discussing the folly of the great
encounter. But, better still, it is to be hoped
that war will have become so rare in the next
half century that the boys who wore the khaki
in France and in our own environments will
need other glories to sustain their reveries in
their last days.

GANDHI COULD TEACH US

MAHATMA GANDHI, reported near death
NA as a result of his recent fast or hunger
strike, could teach us Americans a great deal
His weapon of nonresistance, of course, was
used long ago by the American Thoreau and
others who followed Jesus of Nazareth. 1t
might be revived in this country with good
effect.
But that is not all we have to learn from
Gandhi. There is also the matter of fighting
the enemy within the gates before battling the
enemy outside.
Gandhis recent fast was not aimed at the
British enemy but at the hideous Hindu
system Of untouchability This expression of
the caste system at its lowest reveals the inner
weakness and hypocrisy of an India which
demands justice from others while herself
denying justice to her own children.
With some success Gandhi is trying to
purge and strengthen his own people for their
fight against British exploitation
Obviously leader with sufficient sincerity,
intelligence, and courage to start his house
cleaning at home is dangerous man to his
enemies.
II czariSm could have wrougt internal
reforms it still might be alive in Russia instead
Of Communism.
If the German Socialists had been less stiff
necked, Hitler could not have climbed to power
with their mistakes as stepping stones.
If J. P Morgan and his kind had eradicated
some of the rottenness of the American
financial system, they might have escaped
more sweeping reforms now III prospect.
If the American pacifstS- could overcome
their own reactionary compromises, they might
defeat the nlunition makers for change.
If the American Federation of Labor
devoted one-tenth of the energy to self
criticism which it spends in attacking radicals
on the left and open shop employers on the
right, most of American labor might not be
unorganized and Ieaderless as now.
II the G. o. P. had any capacity for self
reform, it might come back.

ceived accidentally, even should the

Third, I think that the United

am pretty sure that if I should
be listening to a foreign station

let them use code or some other Sys-

The thanks of all fairminded
TIoosiers should go to Judge Treanor
of the supreme court, who saved the
job on the staff of the Indiana state
library for Miss Poucher of the ref
erence department. In long serv-
ice of many years, Miss Poucher has
been of great assistance to thou
sands of persons over the state in
her work as library reference
worker.
Miss Poucher was we'll trained,
efficient and loyal, but a Repub-
lican. Being a Republican to Gov
ernor NIcNutt, he of the retOucheo
photographs, the perfect exhibition
list, the pure showOff, that was a
crime, even though the Indiana
state library never had been in its
years of service in what we shall
call politics; even though it had
been clearly written in the stat
utes governing its operation that any
part in politics by members of the
library staff was illegal.
Others of good training and serv-
ice have been discharged since and
replaced by others, who, on the
strength Of their training and serv-
ice, would not have been hired by
any competent library director. 1t
may be good Democratic politics,
which I doubt. But it is bad public
service. Even modest McNutt should
have known better from pure pol
itics.
Miss Poucher was fortunate in
having friend in Judge Treanor
He had told her something like this:
IF anything happens, let me know
She, or some Of her friends, let him
know.
Judge Treanor went to the Gov
ernor's Office and declared, accord
ing to those who heard: Put her
back quickly or I'll raise plenty of
noise. And put her back quickly"
And she was put back quickly.
Which shows what the judiciary
can do in unofficial decisions; also,
which shows how the executive can
be altered in political decisions.
1t is sacrilegious that the state
library should be put in the world

HOOVER TO BOULDER

VOR a decade or So the worlds greatest
4 dam-to-be was known as Boulder dam
Two years ago ex-Secretary of the Interior
Wilbur stood on the brink of the roaring Colo
RADIO and rechristened it. Henceforth, he de-
clared. it would be called Hoover dam, after
a great engineer, who really started this the
greatest project of all time"
DR. Wilbur's successor, Mr. Ickes, lets it
be known that to him it still is Boulder. And
the ex-Presidents friends fill the air with
mutterings; calling this petty act of politics.
The teapot tempest isn't serious With
Romeo we say: What's in a name? But, I'M
like the good DR.. Wilbur, who after all is not
an historian, we believe in history. So just
to keep the record right, it should be recorded
that the great engineer who really started"
this project was Arthur Powell Davis, also of
California.
Inspired by the feat of his famous uncle,
the first white man to navigate the Colorado
rapids Mr. Davis started years ago to plan
and urge a high dam at Boulder canyon.
SO Jealous was he for high and power
making dam that his chief, Secretary Fall,
under pressure OF power companies, ousteu
him from his job as reclamation engineer.
After that the fight was carried on by Los
Angeles public ownership people and in Wash
ington by Representative Swing and Sena-
tor Johnson.
Mr. Coolidge signed the authorization bill
as the Boulder dam act. 1t is not of record
that Mr.. Hoover took leading role.
Since it is not to be called the Davis DAM
why not Boulder dam?
