man showed that Key West can
be made the most beautifully at
tractive city in South Florida, pro-
vided advantage is taken of the
many natural gifts that have been
bestowed on the city.
Another one of her ideas, brill

THE problem that gets the most attention
u these days is the problem of adjusting our
economic relationships with one another so
that all Of us who really want to can get and
keep remunerative jobs.
Behind it, temporarily forgotten, is an
other problem, perhaps even more acute in its
demand for solution. 1t was touched on the
other day by Charles H. Mayo, Of Rochester,
MINI, in an interview at Memphis.
Life today" said DR.. Mayo, is too tense.
The mind gives out years before the body.
We find old people all around us who have
been dead for years and don't know it. They
don't think any more-their minds have died,
although their bodies live on"
Then the famous physician explained in de-
tail just what he meant.
Think what has happened to us in thirty
five years." he said. "Our life, once largely
agrarian, was paced to the horse. A man
could keep up his business in longhand.
Now it has speeded up. Tractors and type
writers-a man had to have a typewriter. then
a stenographer, then a lot Of secretaries. And
what happened? In thirty-fve years the per-
centage of insanity doubled. Men outlived
their minds.
Perhaps man is adjusting himself slowly to
this age, this speed. But it is a slow process.
The tension has become almost too great"
DR.. Mayo is not the first medical man to
issue this warning. But our usual custom is to
stay about a generation behind our medical
advisers in matters of this kind, and the kill
Ing pace of modern life has not yet really be-
gun to worry us.
We have wandered innocently into the
midst of a lot of whirring fywheels, high-speed
gadgets, and rapidly moving assembly lines,
and it hardly has occurred to us that all this
is a little more than We can stand.
1t is not only in the economic field that we
have progressed too fast for our own good. The
machine age has compelled us to live our lives
under conditions unlike those faced by anv
other men in history.
Hand in hand with our efforts to adjust
things SO that overproduction and unemplov-
ment may be abolished there must be a sincere
attempt to slow down the tempo of the indiyid-
ual life.
AS things are now, we use ourselves up at
a p1tiless rate; as DR.. Mayo says, we die long
before We realize it.

LLOYD GEORGE CHANGES

IT is interesting to notice that David Lloyd
= George, England's wartime prime minister.
recently made a speech in London demanding
fair play for Germany and denouncing the
treatment given Germany under the treaty of
Versailles.
The interesting part, of course, is that
Lloyd George is one of the men who made the
Versailles treaty. At the time of the armistice
he was saying as bitter things about Germany
as the most rabid fre-eater could ask.
He won Englands famous khaki election"
on a platform which insisted that Germany
could and would pay the whole cost of the
war.
Evidently Lloyd Georges attitude toward
the defeated foe has undergone a striking
change in the years since the war.
From being a fire-eater, he has become a
pleader for moderation and fair play. The
change is both instructive and encouraging.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-05-26
THE WISEST COURSE

THE school board at Youngwood, Pa,
seems to have acted recently with enough
good sense to spare the state of PENNSYLVANIA
a duplicate of the famous Scopes evolution
case in Tennessee a few years ago.
In the Y~oungwood high school was a SCI
ence teacher who taught the theory of evo-
luton in a biology class Certain good citizens
protested. The students sided with their
teacher.
When it came time for the school board
to hire teachers for the coming year, the
whole business came to a head.
The board could have dismissed this teach
er and given the town and state a good deal
OF rather odd publicity. Instead, it quietly
buried the whole controversy.
The teacher was hired for another year,
the tempest subsided-and a repetition of the
Scopes case was avoided.

POOR A I c. MAN

NEWTON D. BAKER recently told the
L American Judicature Society in Wash
1ngton that the division of American courts
into major and minor tribunes tends to
produce disrespect for law and lack of con-
fdence in the administration of justice.
He cited the English system where cases,
large and small, are brought before the same
judge, who gives each the same careful
attention.
This is one question that too seldom is
raised by those seeking law reforms in this
country. But it is a question that should be
brought out into a foremost position.
Poor people with their small cases are
herded together in the so-called inferior courts.
while their Weather and more powerful
fellows go before highly paid judges in sedate
courtrooms.
The distinction between cases of lesser or
greater Importance in this country is drawn on
the basis largely of the number of dollars
involved. Yet $40 to a laborer is as important
as $4,000 to a millionaire.
The distinctions are drawn falsely in the
same way in the field of criminal jurisdiction,
where the rank and file of small offenders
also are herded into so-called inferior courts,
where lower paid judges hear their cases, often
in courtrooms lacking dignity or even clean
illness.
The judge who hears the case, civil or
criminal, of the poor man should be the same
Judge who hears the case of the rich man or
of the powerful corporation, and the surround
ings and circumstances of procedure should be
equal in all cases.
The bar association Of this city, and every
other city, we believe, should give study to the
issue Mr.. Baker raised.

THE B. E. F.'S NEW E A

MOT least among the intelligent achieve
' ments of the present administration is
the way in which it handled the 1888 edition
of the bonus army.
To begin with, it received the ex-soldiers
cordially, gave them a good place to live and
saw to it that they were we'll fed. Then.
after making it clear that there was nothing
at all doing in the matter of a cash bonus. it
proceeded to offer them jobs in the forest
army.
Nearly 1900 of the bonuS-seekers enrolled
in one day, leaving a scant 500 to make a pro-
test parade.
Not only did this help to dispose of a prob
lem that proved uncommonly thorny for a
previous administration; it gave the ex-
service men themselves a chance to get rid
OF a lot of their troubles.
They had no jobs and no place to go; now
those of them who really want such things
have got them. They won't trouble Washing
ton and the depression won't trouble them.
