months-old baby-William Col

line, "Mr. and Mrs. Hobson came
to Pinehurst on their honeymoon
and have been here ever since"
and another line, "The baby was
born in Americas biggest city"

A few years ago there was a
great deal in the newspapers

PAST ILLUMINEs THE PRESENT

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has talked much
about the forgotten man" and certainly
the workers and farmers are in deplorable
condition in our day. Yet, by comparison
with the middle ages, they rank high. In that
period the fourth estate had no legal or DO
htical rating whatsoever Only the mobiles.
high churchmen and burghers received any
recognition in the formal social system.
If we have a good way to travel to secure
real economic and social democracy, it may
hearten us somewhat to recognize that prog
ress which has been made in the last four
centuries.
While age differs In a fundamental
fashion from any earlier period in human his
tory, the seeds Of the present were laid in the
past. Professor Hayes has written one of the
most thorough and entertaining accounts of
the evolution of western civilization from the
close of the middle ages to the coming of in
dustrial revolution. These three centuries con-
stituted the critical period in which the agri-
cultural civilization which had prevailed for
thousands of years was gradually but surely
supplanted by the new industrial and capitals
tic age. The two most characteristic aspects of
twentieth century civilization are nationalism
and capitalism Professor Hayes describes
with admirable clarity how these forces and
institutions arose in early modern times and
prepared the way for thorough revolution
in human civilization
It may seem a far cry from the esoteric
philosopher, Ffchte. to the bigoted fanatic
Hitler Yet the nationalistic enthusiasm
aroused by Fichte, especially in his Lectures
to the German People" played its part in the
creation of German natonalism which has
reached its most absurd expression in the Nazi
regime. While he did not subscribe to the
race notions of Hitler, he helped along the
race myth by stressing the alleged purity and
uniqueness of the Germanic language.
Twenty years ago leaders of the feminist
movement predicted that the acknowledgements
OF women would revolutionize American civili-
zation for the better. The experiences of the
last two decades have failed to bear out this
benevolent hope Our political life reached
the lowest level in our history after 1920. Never
was there a more banal, brutal and material
istic decade. Our international policy during
these ten years was especially stupid and ILL
advised. Yet the women did not rise up in re-
volt against these repugnant conditions.
At the same time there is no proof that
the men alone would have done any better
and our civilization is still "man-made" despite
the nineteenth amendment. Only a most
prejudiced fossil could wish for the return of
the subjugation of women.

WAR AND IMPERIALISM

ME fruits of modern imperialism are ap-
parent today in such unhappy areas as
India. the far-east and the West Indies. The
struggle between British imperialism and In
dian nationalsm will drag along until some
bitter and expensive termination settles the
perennial struggle. Japan, having learned
the ethics and technique of imperialism from
the western states who partitioned China, now
threatens the peace of the world in the most
frank and aggressive imperialism which the
world has known in modern times American
banking and public utility interests have sub
sidized for years the most cruel and barbarous
regime ever known in the history of Cuba.
While others may have written more vollm-
inously and enthusiastically as propagandists
Of Imperialism, few figures in the nineteenth
century figured more profoundly in the prac-
teal campaign for imperialism than did Cecil
Rhodes known chiefly for his part in the
dramatic struggle for South Africa. he was a
powerful factor in the development of British
imperialistic spirit after 1870.
Indeed, the kaiser asserts that he was the
real father of German imperialism in western
go ahead in this area in the hope of reducing
the German pressure on Africa
There is no doubt about the ability of
Rhodes or the colorful character of his
career. There already is doubt however.
whether he was an asset to the British en-
pire.
Imperialism helped to bring Britain into
the calamity OF 1914. She never is likely again
to regain the political or economic position
which she then held in the society of ma
tons. She is likely to undergo much more
strain and stress before her imperial prob
lens are solved successfully. Perhaps no other
individual played so large part as Rhodes
In throwing upon her the crushing burdens of
imperialism and colonialism.

GOOD POLICE WORK

INDIANAPOLIS police are to be congratu
4 lated upon their arrest of william o. Dill
man, who is charged with an attempt to extort
$4,000 from three prominent citizens. Nothing
is more cowardly than the extortioner who
cIoaks himself in anonymity to terrorize his
victims.
Evidently the prospective victims, William
H. Coleman, Blaine H Miller and Ward H.
Hackleman. are not gentlemen who scare
easily. Despite dire threats that their homes
would be bombed from the air they turned
the case over to Chief Michael Morrissey They
certainly got action.
The threatening letters were written only
ten days ago. Now the case apparently is
closed by a confession which DiIlman Is said
to have made. The prosecutor and the courts
should move with the utmost speed to show
the underworld that Indiana will not tolerate
extortioners,
This prompt and clever piece Of detective
work is particularly gratifying since 1t tends
to cancel some of the recent plumbers of the
law enforcement authorities. It shows that
Indianapolis still may have confidence in its
local police.

THE PRICE OF GAS

INTERIOR SECRETARY HAROLD ICKES,
the oil administrator is exercising his
power to fix petroleum prices with discretion.
Instead of using this authority in decree
effective overnight. he has wisely postponed
the date to Dec 1, and meantime scheduled
open hearings wherein proteStants may ap-
pear. The secretary's welcome to the con-
sumers' advisory board of MIRA, long an OPP
ponent of price FIXING is in line with his rea-
sonable use of authority.
Price fixing is much more justified when
applied to a natural resource industry such
as petroleum than to any other industry.
The secretary might well heed the petition
of the NRA board that maximum prices
should be fixed to protect consumers. He is
depending upon competitive conditions in the
industry to keep prices within the minima he
has proposed. But the question Of whether
there is enough competition in the industry
to guarantee this is debatabie.
Thus, Secretary Ickes assertion that he
will hear the arguments and will fix maximum
prices If necessary to protect consumers, is
cautious.

Tax Exemption Evil
An Editorial

THE taxpayers Of Indianapolis are the VIC
tins Of vast, legalized racket which will
cost them sl252OOO next year unless it is
checked. The humble citizen who has $4,000
home will contribute S. to it in 1884. A man
with 100000 store will pay $3.50. And they
will pay whether they want to or not.
By some legal hocus-pocus $40 100000 worth
Of property has been exempted from all taxa
ton. This will increase the 1884 tax rate by
about 246 cents on each hundred dollars of
assessed valuation.
This favored property is masquerading as
real estate used for philanthropic and religious
purposes. But it is not. 1t is being utilized
to earn an income for it's owners and has
nothing whatever to do with charity or re-
lgion or education. 1t is competing with real
estate which has to pay taxes.
Is the English hotel religious institution?
Is the Guarantee Tire and Rubber Company,
South Illinois street, a philanthropic enter
prise? What type of divine service is held in
the Fame Laundry Company, Fourteenth and
Illinois streets?
Neither the rubber company nor the laun-
dry is responsible. They merely rent from
the owners. who are the Presbyterian home
mission and Indiana university
People need not be mystif1ed by all this.
1t is easy to dodge tax responsibility, easy to
be leech on ones fellow citizens Here's
how it can be done:

THE COMMUNITY FUND

THE city is facing another winter of suf-
Il fering. Business appears to have turned
the corner and gotten its feet upon the road
TO better times, but there will be many casual
ties before the depression is over.
Upon every citizen who is fortunate enough
to have an income is laid solemn obligation
TO share it with those who, through no fault
of theirs, are in bitter want. Society has
learned in the last three years that If it can
not arrange to pay man for working, it must
pay him for not working.
Human beings thrown out of employment
do not simply disappear into thin air. They
linger about the streets and in their ruined
homes as a pale and mute reproach to the
inability of man to operate his own affairs
with wisdom and decency. They are the price
the industrial system must pay for its own
incompetence.
indianapolis has been more fortunate than
other cities 1t has not been lacerated by the
spectacle of actual starvation upon its high
ways Nor has it had awful bread riots and
lawlessness. There are two reasons for this
The hungry people of this city have been pa
tient; the Community Fund has been amply
filled and ably administered.
The time has come again when that fund
must be replenished. Indianapolis will respond

it to some church or school to be held in

that comes from it.

Fatigue Effect Is Destructive

difficult to concentrate or give seri-
GUS attention to various problems
that arise.
It also is well established that
pleasant emotions are beneficial to
the human body. When you see
food that you enjoy, your gastric
juices begin to flow to prepare for
digestion.
If you are happy, you are likely to
be confident in your ability to per-
form a certain type of work. If
you are content. you are free from
the unrest associated with discour-

Since these emotions are so sig

THE old saying, "a sound mind
l. in a sound body" never was
established more truly than it is
today.
If your body functions badly, the
power and efficiency of your mind
will be reduced. This may be asso-
ciated not only with weakness Of
the blood supply to the brain, the
organ associated with thinking, but
equally with a failure of the blood
to supply suitable amounts of
oxygen.
If you body is fatigued greatly,
toxins and poiSons accumulate in
the system, and these poisons in
themselves have a destructive effect
on the nerve tissue.
However, aside from the help
that you may give your mental
functions by taking suitable care
of your body, you should also train
your mind suitably. to derive from
it the greatest amount of happiness

THE TOLERANCE TOUR

A JEWISH rabbi, Catholic priest and
n Protestant minister are being sent forth
through thirty-nine American cities by the
national conference Of Jews and Christians for
the purpose of resisting the duplication in this
country of the outbreak of intolerance abroad"
Newton D. Baker. one of three co-chairmen
of the conference. describes the project as a
purely domestic campaign.
The national conference" he says, feels
that the outbreak of intolerance abroad must
not be duplicated in this country. The Amer
lean ideal is inconsistent with that spirit, and
the conference therefore aims to emphasize
the American spirit to instin sympathy and
cooperation in our own country"
Must the ideal of live-and-let-live be sold"
again to our America, founded by religious and
political refugees and built by the toll OF many
races? Unfortunately. yes. Fear of want and
insecurity increase hatred and violence.

The human being is subject to
emotions of various types. He may
be happy or sad, pleased or dis
gusted, frightened or courageous,
calm or angry; he may love or hate.
All these emotions have their effects
on the body as we'll as on the mind.
The very word emotion" means
disturbance. When you become
angry, the rate Of your heart beat
changes. your breathing speeds up,
your digestive juices stop flowing,
your muscles tremble, and you lose

When you are exceedingly sad,
your energy seems to be dissipated,
you feel lackadaisical, your respira-
