IF the American birth rate continues to de-
cline in the next fifty years at the rate
recorded in the last decade, the country is in
for some very difficult times.
This is the warning of DR.. Oliver NJ. Baker
senior economist of the department of agricul
ture in a speech in Cleveland recently.
We have almost reached a stationary popu-
lation, and DR.. Baker remarks that this may
be a very good thing-if it only remains sta
tionary But a continued fall in the birth rate
would eventually bring us to a declining popu-
lation; and under such condition, he says, eco
nomic reactions would be severe.
The demand for farm and industrial prod
ucts would progressively dwindle; rents and
interest returns would slide steadily down.
ward, with catastrophe effect on the whole
spirit of private enterprise.
1t is a gloomy picture. But it is possible
to wonder if the declining birth rate recently
has not been, at least in part. a reflection Of
the confused condition of society as a whole.
Let that confusion be Strengthened out, and it
is possible that the birth rate would begin to
rise once more.

HOW TOURISTS PAY

THE value of what are called invisible ex-
ports" in a nations economy is clearly
illustrated by recent figures showing just what
the tourist trade is worth to France.
During 1888, for instance American tour
lists spent about 1900 900 900 francs in France
In that year, French exports to the United
States we're a little more than half that value
1853 100000 francs, to be exact.
In other words, as far as the United States
is concerned the tourist business is worth
twice as much to France as is foreign trade
There's one other interesting little thing
about it. French authorities have tabulated
the way in which the American tourists
money is spent in France; and they have
found that just 7 per cent of it goes for what
might be called wine, women and song.
That, considering the popular tradition
about the American tourists way of ANUS
ing himself in Paris, seems surprisingly low.

AN EFFECT OF REPEAL?

DETROIT city authorities are reported to
- be perturbed by a sharp rise in auto
mobile traffic accidents this year. Between
Jan. l and July 9, 1884, Detroits traffic killed
215 people-the highest traffic death rate in
Detroit's history-while 1894 persons have
been injured.
AS a result, the traffic patrol force is be-
ing doubled and campaign is on to enforce
the traffic code very strictly.
Detroit is not the only city that has had
a rise in the traffic toll this year; and it is
hard to keep from wondering if repeal does
not have some connection with this rise.
Is the legal sale of intoxicating liquors
putting more drunken drivers on the high
ways, to menace themselves and others? 1t
is time that detailed and unprejudiced sur
vey was made, on a nationwide scale.

MR.. WILSON DEPARTS

IT is unfortunate that Herbert Z. Wilson,
l. Marion county prosecutor, has seen fit to
absent himself from the city at this time
Following indictment by the county grand
jury on a charge Of embezzlement, three for
mer officers Of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank
face trial in criminal court and one of them
is already on trial
The defense has an impressive corps of
attorneys prepared to smash the states con-
tentions. The prosecutor, supposedly the
states ace legal mind, is baskng on Miami
F1a) sands following year of intense wait
ing for something to do
1t is unique that much Of Indianapolis
money was invested in this same Florida city
by the men who now are under indictment.
Mr.. Wilson. it appears chose a vacation site
close to home in the hearts of many local
residents.
Mr. Wilson had in fact still has an oppor-
tunity to make name for himself, to silence
once and for all whispered rumors that he is
terrified by political shadows on the court
house walls.
To grasp this opportunity he must desert
the outmoded Jimmy Walker school Of politics
and return home. He must forget golden
sands dropping palms and warm blue water
until his obvious work is done.
Floyd J. Msttice the prosecutors chief
deputy, is conducting the states attack
against the banker-defendants. Call for Mr..
Wilson's return is not criticism of Mr. Mattice,
who, so far, has shown himself fully capable
of handling the situation.
Mr.. Wilson's presence in indianapolis is his
duty and obligation-it is not a necessity.

would appeal to the people he
wished to reach. 1t was organ
lied on a military basis, with uni
forms, ranks and commissions,
similar to the standing armies of
the world. 1t was to be first and
foremost a soul-saving organiza-
ton, and it is this characteristic
which has made it worldwide.
Every army has a flag or banner.
The ISraeliteS had banners which
were set up in their camps. So it
was decided that the Salvation
Army should have a banner. The
colors chosen were yellow, red and
blue.
The flag has a red ground, with
blue border, and yellow star in the
center of the red, with the words
Blood and Fire" on it.
The red stands for the blood Of
Jesus, which was shed to wash
away the sins of the world. The
blue stands for purity and holiness,
and the yellow for the fire of the
Holy Ghost. This flag is an en-
blem Of the doctrines and teachings
of the organization. 1t is flying to-
Gay in eighty-six different coun-
tries and colonies. In the United
States, when used on a parade, the
Blood and Fire flag is carried al
ways to the left Of the Stars and
Stripes, and in our citadels and
halls it is placed to the left of the
platform, while the Stars and
Stripes is on the right.

DOUBTS ACCURACY OF
ROBINSON'S PREDICTION

By H. Hurd
I read that Arthur Robinson said
that Indiana will go Republican
this fall, and that he is armed with
weapons to take care of President
Roosevelt and the New Deal.
I want to remind Arthur of the
time he came out to West Tenth
street and White river one Satur-
day afternoon, and called on about
1900 men who we're pushing Wheel
barrows and shovels for 50 a day,
trying to recover from the depres-
sion, caused by Republican ad-
ministration.
If he would say one word against
the New Deal and Roosevelt, I will
guarantee the senator a reception
that he probably would deserve.
Wait until the votes are counted
In November, then come out and
make q speech.
Just because we use long handled
shoyels and hook up between the
two handles Of a wheel barrow. he
need not think we are all dumb.

DECLARES PLIGHT OF
FARMER SERIOUS

BY w. H. Bremen.
The press looks on while the poor
farmers read silly prattle in your
editorial columns. You know the
food and milk trust is bound to de-
stroy the country if prices are not
adjusted.
To uphold the AAA when you
know it is bound to be our ruin, is
poor newspaper stuff You, of
course, get paid by big firms for
advertisements, but you go to the
poor to sell your paper.
Will you turn from the poor, If it
comes to a real showdown? This
time may be close at hand, since
most all the real farmers cry out
against prices.
You know prices, or if you do
not, you are in position to find
out. What good does it do an ed
itor to make it appear that prices
are all right, when so many farm
ers cry out at the injustice heaped
upon them?
If you are friend of the people,
it would seem now is the time to
prove it. When a friend sees a
friend in distress, he helps his
friend. You can't ignore the farm
er who writes often about the
knocks he is getting, and still pre-
tend you are for him.
There is deep trouble ahead for
the dairy farmer. Go to his aid
Use your editorial page as you did
when you were pinched. Don't
wait for strike. Get your staff
writer on the firing line now.

HITLER TAKES THE STAND

L Asst night. in Berlin. the Nazi fuehrer
l. Adolf Hitler took the witness stand in his
own defense for the killing of seventy-seven
people.
In a speech literally heard around the
globe. and in a voice which from beginning to
end Iashad and cracked like a blacksnake
whip he gave his judge and jury-world opin-
ion-his version Of the bloody weekend of
June 30.
If three-score and seventeen men and
women had died before his firing squads, or
blown out their brains, by request, it was, he
said because they were mutineers. They had
plotted his overthrow. And he. personally, had
given the order to shoot the rebels"
All Of which was sad, he observed signifi-
~antly but it also was a warning.
For more than an hour and half he shot
his singing words into the microphone and
its world hOok-up in what probably was the
greatest effort of his career. But when he
had finished. his case remained pretty much
where 1t was at the beginning. He had con-
tributed some dramatic details leading up to
the cory events. but little or no evidence which
could radically change the testimony the world
had already heard.
1t is reported that last-minute alterations
we're made in the speech. 1t is said the Ger
man foreign office definitely warned the chan
csllor against accusing neighbor nations of
fomenting the revolution" II so, Hitler took
the hint and thus avoided adding foreign COM
plications to already highly explosive domestic
ones.
Speaking before one Of the vastest audi
enceS ever addressed by man, the Nazi leader
seemed TO sense that his own future and the
future Of Germany we're somehow at stake. He
began with his back to the wall. He ended
with his back 10 the wall
What Hitler's future course viii be, he gave
no hint. How Germany can emerge from her
present tragically desperate plight, he did not
say. Its anxiety. but little abated, the world
can only wait and see.

JOHNSON AND GERMANY

CPEAKING in behalf Of the preservation Of
- free press, General johnson in his Wat
erloo Ia speech struck at Germany.
A few days ago. in GERMANY he said,
events occurred which shocked the world
don't know how they have affected you, but
they made me sick-not hguratively but ply
sicauy and very actively sick The idea that
adult. responsible men can be taken from their
homes. stood up against wall. backs to the
rifles, and shot to death IS beyond expression.
IF power Of any kind can be seized there
Is no limit to its application.
For long while I thought sincerely that
the newspaper insistence on writing into their
code a clause saving their constitutional rights
was pure surplusage. As a lawyer. am very
sure that constitutional rights guaranteed for
the benefit of the public can not be signed
away. But I now see more clearly why these
gentlemen were apprehensive"
Germany now enters formal protest to our
state department.
It may be that what the general did vio-
lated some inter departmental and interna-
tional amenities. That is something for the
state department. General johnson. and Ger
many 70 thresh out.
But certain it is that what General john
son said expressed the sentiment Of the aver
age American lsynsn toward the whole bloody
business Of Herr Hitler.
And in declaring himself as he did, General
johnson merely was exercising another i'm
pOrtant constitutional right, the twin brother
of free press-the right of free speech.
From our point of view. We can't get ex-
cited about protest that comes from a ma
ton in which that right has been abolished.

THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST

TNDIANAS obligation IN supporting the New
Il Deal was brought into the open last night
when Postmaster-General James A. Farley de-
manded the defeat Of Senator Arthur R. Rob-
inson in the fall election.
Mr. Farley wasted no words in telling the
Democratic party and voters of Indiana that
Mr.. Robinson. or any others Of his type, no
longer are wanted in the national legislature.
The general pledged to his au-
dience OF more than 1000 persons in the Clay
pool. that the United States Of America, under
the administration Of President Roosevelt, will
not have congress made up Of Arthur Rob-
insons, whether one or many.
Mr.. Farley told the Indiana Democrats that
the Republicans are counting on repetition
of the Democratic performances in years gone
when party riffs broke the hrmness Of the
party's grip.
And he told his audience that should that
occur. it would be the delight Of the New
Deal adverSaries 10 make It possible for the
Hoosier state to swallow Senator Robinson"
He drove directly 10 the point Of the Demo-
cratic campaign in Indiana when ne said it
was time for the state 10 complete its polti-
cal housekeeping and substitute for your
tinie-serving. opportuniSt, do-nothing senior
senator. the independent able nominee Of our
psrtv-Sherman Minton"
Despite his praise Of the national admins
tration, Mr.. Farley warned that the huge task
Of rebuilding the nation is far from done. He
said that the President still stands by his
promise that no one in this country shall starvs
and that the next congress must be equipped
with the right men who will carry on.
And in that category. ne does not include
Senator Robinson. IN fact, in that classical
ton Mr.. Farley counts absolutely on working
without the services OF Senator Robinson.
It appears that the national administration

OPPOSES GOVERNMENT
AS BIRTH ARBITER

Paul Wysong advocates birth
control regulation by state statute.
Frequently, one Hiram Lackey harps
upon this subject.
But I hardly think they will see
the day when governments will have
the temerity TO try to thWart the
instinct of reproduction. There are
enough neurotiCs now.
1t is recognized fact that the
yellow race OutnumberS the white
by large margin and no doubt
will continue to do so. If we could
educate along the lines Mr.. Wy
song suggests, it would be fine, but
when governments can not agree on
a simple matter of ornaments, how
can they be expected to agree OH a
matter involving the limitation of
offspring?
In numbers there is strength, and
until that remote day arrives when
our yellow brethren begin the prac-
tice of birth control, I for one go
on record as tavOrlng the age old
instinct Of reproduction.

have an overabundant crop. or the

insist that the boy or girl born
in 1884 has a much better chance
in life than the progeny Of the

Thomas Jefferson and his ideals.
yet I must admit Franklin D. Roose-
welt represents an improvement.
Although I have never had the
privilege of meeting a seventh son
Of a seventh son, I have heard they

tate on before they start a crusade

MISREPRESENTATION
AND ECONOMICS

BY Charles Burton.
The law of self representation Is
ever the same, but whether its sal
vation is for a part of the people by
competition, capitalistic salvation,
or for the whole people by CO.
operation socialist salvation, depends
upon whether this law rides or is
ridden.
So long as the law Of self preser-
walton was supposed to be the will
of a conscious personal God whose
earthly representatives were kings
and priests or presidents and
preachers, the law did the riding
within the large domain of animal
competition.
In the domain of capitalism war
is a normal, indeed necessary evil,
and hence the world must have wars
so long as it remains within it, and
it will remain there so long as it
has celestial divinities with ter
restrial representatives in states and
churches for its governors.
Now that the law is known TO be
a matter of necessity and not a di-
vine decree, the time will be hoped
for when the people will do the rid
ing within the small domain of hui
man cooperation.
Peace is the normal, indeed nee
essary, factor in this domain, and
hence the world must cease to have
war when it enters it and is gov
erned by itself instead Of by God
and the powers of state and church
alleged to have been ordained by
Him.

my misery is caused by two-legged

salt on other plants such as flowers
or tomatoes or spots on lawn.
At night my lawn may be all
right, but by morning there are
