Boxer Loses Fight, Dies at 6

MACON, Ca, Oct. 8 (IN.S.).
After a magnificent fight for
life, William wrenc
"Young') Stribling lost his
last battle early today. Death
claimed the Georgia heavy
weight boxer shortly before 6
a. m.
Injuries received in a motor
accident Sunday proved fatal to
the young contender for the
worlds heavyweight title.

managed him until he reached
the peak of pugilism and the right
to fight for he worlds crown.
His pare-lt +. his wife, Clara, and
his brother, also a puglist, were
summoned to Williams hospital
room carly this morning when
doctors said he could live only a
short time.
"He'S Gone" Says "Pa"
At 10 minutes of 6 O'Clock, "Pa"
Stribling came out of the hospital
room. He said:
"It's all over, he's gone"
At o'clock DR.. A. P. Kemp
emerged from the room, accom-
panied by two nurses.
He shook his head and said:
"Dead."
Until the last, young Strib''
fought death as he had fought
ring gladiators. His left foot cut
off and his body mangled when
his motorcycle was hit by an
automobile, he was always con-
scious of his plight, yet unfear-

He engaged in whimsical re-

To his wife, he said:
"Clara, / guess you will have

He asked his doctors for beer,
and when he received a few sips
he chided the physicians because
they "gave such small doses"
The doctors paid a tribute to
Stribling's great fighting spirit
which they said carried him so

One said:
"He realized his position fully.

he faced it with sublime cOur-

PROOF OF NRA

A CRESCENDO of praise for NRA from
those actually putting it's recovery pro-
gram to the test gradually is drowning out
sour notes from those who still stand off and
view it with suspicion and fear.
No industry was more difficult to bring un-
der code than bituminous coal. Administra-
tor Hugh S. Johnson and his aids struggled
with 1t for months Today the National Coal
Association, composed of bituminous operators,
is on record as believing its code will be very
helpful to its executive secretary that estab-
Ished wage scales have introduced a much
needed element of stability in the industry.
A few weeks ago the Iron and Steel institute
publicly acknowledged benefits it has received
under code. Now the steel casting industry
follows with a statement that its code has
proved of pronounced value" in speeding the
industry's return to normal, satisfactory and
profitable operation" The shoe industry re-
ports sterilization for the first time m history.
Louis KRISTEN, retiring chairman of the
industrial advisory board, reports that "in
practically all cases coming to the attention
of the board the early experiences (of indus
try under codes have been beneficial"
These words of praise do not come from
theorists or radicals, but from practical, profit
seeking men. They are therefore all the more
impressive.
There is, incidentally, food for thought for
other business men in the coal associations
Endorsement Of established wage scales The
oituminous code does not stop with fixing
minimum wage. Instead. operators bargatned
with the United Mine Workers of America
and uniform scale for all kinds of work was
agreed upon Employers who are afraid to
bargain with their workers similarly should be
encouraged by the satisfaction of group that
once was frankly skeptical of such an ORDERLY
course.

1T is UP TO YOU

IN promotion Of the prompt and certain ad-
u ministration of justice, President Roose-
welt calls for abolition of mob violence through
reform of the judiciary.
For entirely too long have the interests of
the people, including liberty of speech and
actions, been under dominance by the high
hnanciers and the judiciary. This is made
clear as daylight by the recent congressional
Investigators disclosures as to the operation of
these two elements. which really have been
the United States government. Moreover.
there are comparatively few Americans of con-
sequence who have not personally suffered
from the effects of such invidious dominance.
Neither our fnanciers nor our judiciary is
corrupt as d whole. But both have submitted
to the practices or presidents of leadership
merciless, arrogant and predatory in its raven
Gus greed for money and power. Mr.. Roose-
velts dictatorship, through his drastic and I'M
precedented policies, certainly is reforming
the financial leadership and it is certainly
with the approval of the aroused victims of
that leadership, and the distinguished critics
of his new deal might as well save their
breath, and their writings, too, unless they can
apeishly mimic the late Calvin Coolidge and
draw $40 a word, more or less, from some
syndicate.
Rare are the instances in which an ele-
ment whose reform is of vital Importance re-
forms itself and its system, when the latter
means self advantage, and President Roose-
welt is exactly right in advising that any eff
fort for reform of the judiciary must have the
organized, persistent and strenuous backing of
the people.
There isn't lawyer worthy Of the legalized
right to practice his profession but he IS ia
miliar with outright judicial outrages and the
chronic habits of courts to connive in or con-
sent to all the delays of justice that sharp
lawyers brains can concoct or discover in the
books of precedents.
Let the people no longer be Indifferent but
rise in determination for their birthright-
prompt and impartial execution of Justice
and they will get judicial reform. Otherwise,
they will continue to get whatever is handed
out to them by judiciary largely devoted to
first consideration of the comparatively few
who have much of power and cash with which
to beat of prompt and exact justice.
It is up to the people, as are all other re-
forms of a general nature, and as are all the
features of Mr.. Roosevelt's new deal. The
President has a real clear view Of the bulls
eye; he usually has.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
VICTORIOUS WOMEN

MRS. CHARLES II. SABIN ands the
IVA 100000 members of the Women's Or
ganization for National Prohibition Reform,
having fought the good fight through to VIC
tory, held their final meeting at Washington
last week and disbanded.
But the great work these women did for
the cause of repeal, the influence they ex-
erted in the 1882 national party conventions,
their backing Of the Democratic platform
plank regardless Of party affiliations, their
invaluable aid in rallying the states to ratify
the twenty-f1rst amendment-an these things
will be remembered, we think as long as the
nation remembers its historic deliverance from
a dire national mistake.
Mrs Sabin, Mrs. Courtlandt Nicoll, Mrs
John Sheppard, Mrs Edward S. Moore and
many others have shown leadership and or
ganizing ability of the highest order
Women are said to be lacking in logic.
Yet Mrs. Sabin's logic is excellent in holding
that since control of liquor has been restored
to the states, the influence Of women likewise
should return to within state lines She says:
We recognize the fact that the forty
eight states are now, in effect, forty-eight
laboratories wherein experiments in liquor
control will be carried on for years to
come. The educational program conducted
by our organization during the last four
years and host of sincere and enlight-
ened women leaders is our insurance that
these experiments will be carried on in
diligently. We must not repeat the
mistakes of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union and the Anti-Saloon
League.
1t is not alone in the field Of legislation
that women can henceforth help. Their in
fuence should prove even greater on the social
side
Now that repeal is secured, no one can do
more than wives, mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts toward spreading habits of moderate,
socialized discriminating use Of alcoholic
beverages. Not only can they make it smart
to be legal; they can make it seem as silly to
swin down liquor as to "hog" food. They
can't cure all drunkards, but they can make
it increasingly bad form" to be drunk.

SOCIAL CONTROL

TN describing the aim Of the new deal as "a
prosperity socially controlled for the COM
mon good" President Roosevelt has handed US
a new yardstick. Extent of the reconstruction
which accompanies recovery will depend large
" on how much we insist on applying this
yardstick to the various measures which come
before us for adoption.
Those eight words can be just about any
thing we want them to be. They can be an
empty phrase or they can be the hammered
slogan for a new order. They can leave us
Just as We were or they can produce the most
profound changes It all depends on how Sc
riously we care to take them.
A nation which was truly determined to
control its prosperity for the common good
would not have room for a number of the
things that this nation has had room for in
the last decade.
1t scarcely would have room for an insult,
for example. insult profited nightly. built up

ANOTHER KIDNAPER

a gang OF kidnapers should kdnap and kill
one child day, every person in this state
would demand that something be done about
1t. The entire police force Of the state would
be put on the job The state militia would be
called out, and it is not unlikely that the
standing army Of the United States would be
made available to put a stop to such an
atrocity.
We have kidnaper in our midst who is
stealing one Of our Indiana children every
school day during these months of October,
November and December. He works insidiously.
He wakes up your child my child in the mid
die Of the night with membranous Group.
We thought it was merely cold or some minor
infection. We locked in the child's throat
and saw nothing wrong, not knowing that the
fatal germs we're lodged in the nose perhaps.
The first thing we know, our child is gone,
stolen away by as ruthless kidnaper as ever
stalked our community.
Vital statistics from the office of the state
board of health show that for the months of
october, November and December for the past
several years the death rates from diphtheria
in Indiana have been at such levels that ap-
proXimately one child died for each school day.
This brings to our minds the Importance of
diphthera as a menace to children of Indiana.
The kdnaper killed 172 persons in Indiana
last year. Diphtheria caused $500 cases Of ill
ness. It cost 100000 to pay the bills
The state is aroused and through its health
authorities and medical men is engaged in a
finish fight with the kidnaper, dphtheria. I'M
munization is the weapon. For those who can
not pay, the state is furnishing $4,000 worth
of toxoid. Its administration causes hardly
a moments discomfort to the child Immuniza-
ton against dphtheria is one of the most
effective measures known to medical science
Let all parents and all public-Spirited citi-
zens join in this fight against the kidnaper in
our community

n lows of The British Royal Society ex-
pressed belief in the existence Of "a spiritua
domain" while thirteen denied it. Seventy-foul
regarded the latest developments in scientific
thought as tending to support religious faith
while twenty-Seven took an opposite view.
I venture to say that a similar group of dis
tinguished scholars would have shown about the
same relative divergence of opinion fifty years
ago. or even in the time of Marcus Aurelius.
also am inclined to believe that it would be
found in a group of ordinary folks, provided
the group represented fair cross section Of
life.
Great minds and little minds divide along
the same lines and in about the same ratio when
it comes to answering the riddle of creation
The reason is plain None is great enough tc
know; none Is too little to guess.
CCIENCE and religion find a common meet
~ ing ground at the border line of the un-
known. While that border line may have re-
coded somewhat still it is irritatingly close. The
verieSt ignoramus can lead the most profound
thinker right up to 1t with few simple questions
Inf1nity Is still infinite whether approached
through the microscope, or telescope. We have
discovered nothing yet incapable Of division OF

Faith ranges downward from absurd super
stition to an exalted sense Of responsibility. Sci

the weirdest kind Of speculation. The former
finds itself constantly yielding to what we cal
rationalism while the latter is just as constantly
obliged to confess ignorance.
THE alleged conflict between science and re-

tainly has no foundation in abstract logic.
spirit Of iconoclasm runs throughout the
ages. 1t has overthrown as many false scientific
theories as religious concepts.
We accuse theologists of forcing people tc
believe that the earth was fat. AS matter OF
record, they merely accepted what geographers
and astronomers were supposed to have dis
covered.
Science and religion are playing a better
part In the world Of today than ever before, be-
cause people take them in a saner way. The
ancient attitude Of stark, unbending certainty
has given place to frame of mind that makes
us willing to listen, If not to think We car
admit that religious teachers of the past have
made mistakes without dethroning God. In the

SHIP SUBSIDIES AND LABOR

THE International Seamens Union of
- America is urging ship owners to include
in the pending shipping code provision for
a national maritime board to adjust labor dis
putes and evolve an orderly give-and-take re-
lationship between owners and the men who
go down to the sea in ships.
1t is significant of the labor hostility Of GER
tain big eastern ship owners that this proposal
is being opposed in Washington. Such mari
time boards have been operating successfully
on the ships of Americas two chief COMPETE
tors on the seas. England has had such a
board for twenty years, Japan for ten years.
The history Of our own shipping in these years
has been one of constant pickering, constant
warfare in congress over legislation.
No single industry has been showered with
so many golden favors from its government as
has American shipping. Senator Hugo Black s
committee now investigating ocean mail sub
sides hears that ship owners are getting an
average of $36,Ooo0OO year from the tax
payers in mail subsidies, that they have COL
lected $140,000,000 since 1928. Loans at 3h
per cent and under for building and recondi-
tioning vessels have totaled $144OOo000 in the
past decade. Since 1924 the government has
sold to private ship owners 438 vessels which
cost $560,0OO,O0O to build. They were sold for
$4o,O 900.
Congress, by the recovery act hoped to Gre
ate an orderly system of industrial manage
ment, with government, capital and labor
cooperating Most industries are acting in
good faith.
In view of the startling disclosures of the
Black committee, ship owners would seem to
be in a poor position to adopt an arrogant at
titude toward the government or labor
An argosy so laden with special favors as
this should bring back something of industrial
craftsmanship, If nothing more.

GRAFTERS AND SWINDLERS

MYTH the government spending billions
w on work relief it is, perhaps. inevitable
that few public enemies try to divert what
they can of the peoples dollars into their own
pockets. The Public Works Administration
has It's eye on two types, the public works
CRATER and the land-swindler.
An engineer inspector will be named for
each important state, and city, and on large
projects, especially on slum clearance and will
stay on the job until it's finished. These in
spectors will see to it that every 81 spent
means 81 worth of works and services that
NRA codes are adhered to, that "a maximum
amount of unemployment relief is afforded by
this money" So far there have been no major
scandals in the spending of new deal relief
money.
Real estate swindlers are less easy to deal
with, for they operate under cloak of legiti-
macy. But they can hold back and actually
wreck attempts to rebuild slum areas, and they
can impoverish families now solvent by means
OF get-rich-quick colonization and subdivision
schemes. At Muscle Shoals, Bonneville Dam
site in Oregon and other certers of govern
ment enterprise land sharks are swarming.

Interior Secretary Harold Ickes, ito spike the
guns of these brigands.' 1t has been suggested
that the postof1ce department issue a fraud
order barring land swindle schemes from the
mail. Then let the department of justice be-
stir itself.

The best modern types of drink
ing facilities provide nozzle or jet
in a fountain of impervious ma
terial, such as china or enameled
iron. The nozzle must be pro-
tected so that your mouth, when you
use the fountain, does not come into
contact with it.
The water should not touch the
guard, resulting in splattering. The
bowl should be cleansed easily and
placed high enough so that you may
drink in comfort.
In view of the great possibilities
of infection from contaminated
drinking water, measures should be
taken in every industry to make
certain that diseases are not spread
by the drinking fountain.
Particularly in places where en-
ployes are ignorant or careless, it
is desirable to have adequate infor-
nation as to the proper method of
using and taking care of drinking
facilities.
