REPUBLICANS SCARED
FOR CAPITALISM

George w. Curtis.
No 100 per cent Democrat will pay
to have his throat cut, unless he
exhibits the same degree Of intelli-
gence the North Carolina pastor did
in his rattlesnake exhibition.
Fellow laboring men take my adj
vice, read Haywood Broun in The
Times daily, if you desire an educa-
ton of how to combat the capitalist.
Mr.. Minton doesn't waste time
arguing the Constitution. Take the
Republican authority Justice
Hughes, who says:
1T is true we operate under
Constitution, but the judges say
what it means" 1t was an easy
matter to change the Constitution
within the last year when condi-
lions demanded a change.
Chairman Fletcher won't use the
bow and arrow once during his
campaign.
Andrew Mellon won't use Old
Ironsides to smuggle or ship his
aluminium.
Senator Robinson won't use the
horse and buggy for the purpose
of making his campaign more con-
stitutional. Blackstone said, The
responsibilities of the government
increase likewise the yielding OF
individual rights increase.
The Republican party was unfit
for Theodore Roosevelt in 1912.
Wherein has its platform and indi-
vidual politicians changed? If 81
per cent of all property is owned
by per cent of the people, as
occurred mostly under Republican
administration, how can an Ameri-
can citizen who is by birth natu-
raj born revolutionist, vote a re-
turn of conditions worse than slav-
cry Of 1868? 1t is time 81 per cent
of the people show 8 per cent OF
the people how to act.

With every resident in Indian
apolis and the surrounding terri
tory interested, the city is to be
congratulated for the manner in
which it finally has tackled the
job of getting federal funds to re-
lieve the situation at the Indian
apolis sewage disposal plant.
The Times recently printed a
series of stories on pollution OF
waterways on which the paper
should be lauded. 1t appeared for
a while that every other city, town
and hamlet in Indiana, except In
dianapolis, was in for a razzing.
Well say this, though, that when
you did let go on indianapolis, a
thorough job was done.
Every move that the city can
make to clean up the sewage dis
posal situation in this area should
be carried out to the finish. I'm
less it is, there is no reason to
start such a program. The guar
antee that the waters of White
river are safe for humanity is
something which should never be
varied.
And while we're on the subject

A FEW LUCKY FARMERS

DEVASTATING as the effects of the drought
II have been, they will at least mean good
fortune to a few-to those farmers who do not
happen to occupy land in the sections where
the destruction has been worst.
Consider the case of the farmer who raises
corn, for instance.
The national corn crop this year is expected
to total around 1.57OOO0,OOO bushels-a ire
mendous drop from the 2,343,OOOOOO bushels
last year.
AS the yield has dropped, the price has gone
up. Last year farmers sold their corn for
approximately Al cents a bushel The price
right now is 81 cents.
The farmer whose fields we're missed by the
drought, and who raised a corn crop OF nor
NAL proportions, is going to cash in hand
somely.

CITES OBJECTIONS TO
GASOLINE SYSTEM

Regarding gasoline for sanitary
commission, the answer made by
Mr.. Nolen is right, but there are
facts that can not be denied, and
which do not change the situation
so far as the right or wrong Of the
situation is concerned.
These are that the employees are
using city property to conduct a
private business; they are buying OF
a company which supplies the city
proper with gasoline; the price they
pay is a violation Of the code and

been stopped from doing this same
thing by the code authorities.
1t is largely a question of whether
the gas companies want to do the
right thing or whether they want
to disobey the code as some of them
have done right along Little retail
stations shave to obey the code or
get a fine as did the poor tailor in
New Jersey, but some companies

Boston, Dec 5-Reporting the progress in New England of the Federal Reserve bank of direct loans to industry, Albert M. Creigh- ton, chairman of the industrial ad. visory committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, in a let- ter sent today to all commer- cial and industrial organizations throughout New England an- nounced that loans totaling $5.245,- 900 had been recommended in New England through November 2S.
 Pointing out that the quota avail able for such loans in New Eng land is about $20,000,000, MT Creighton's letter said that "there has been an increasing interest shown, both by commercial banks and by business men, in the grant ing of these loans, which are ex- ceedingly helpful in increasing in- dustrial activities and stimulating employment"

 Answering the question as to what do loans accomplish ?" the booklet cites several typical cases. "It may be of interest" the book let continues, ''to note the type of applicant, the business record, pre- vious bank borrowings and ex- pected increase in employment in some of the typical cases where the industrial advisory committee has recomme ended loans for work ing capital purposes:

SAFE XMAS TOYS
 URGED BY STATE
Health Officials Remind Parents to Consider Age
 in Buying Gifts

Christmas gifts which are safe and which vii laid the child's in- tellectual development were urged by the state department of health in it's weekly bulletin today, in which it was pointed out that many dangers for children Turk in vari- ous innocent appearing toys.
 By nature the child is attracted to toys which move, as can readily be observed when the child, taken to the toy shop, dashes from one moving toy to another. Mechanical toys of thise type are not always appropriate for the very young fchiid, however, and care sl10 0sfld be taken to avoid any playtf1ings with sharp edges that cut, the bulletin stimulating, although they should be selected in accordance with the child's age and capacity to use them.
 The tool kit, wooden strips and work bench are other types of play things which aid mental develop ment, along with miniature easels, drawing paper. crayons and paint. The latter will delight a child who has artistic learings and may re- lieve parents of fears that furni- ture and Wallpaper may be de- stroyed by such tendencies. The dangers in these playthings for very young children are obvious, however
 There is always danger that very small children, attracted by bright colors of Christmas toys, may put them into their mouths, so in se- lecting colored toys care should be taken to pick those from which the coloring will not come off. Toy manufacturers are taking steps to meet this situation. They are also beginning to wrap toys in trans parent paper to avoid the danger of transferring disease by excess sive handling of toy shops. Toys and dolls which can be washed are now often available.
 Noise-making toy guns and pis- tols are probably harmless and may even help the child to. graduate from the Savage" stage of his de- velopment. Dangerous weapons such as air rifles and other missile throwing devices should be restrict ed to those old enough to handle them carefully as many tragedies
 have resulted from their misuse in the hands of young or careless children.
 Books. toys and pictures may be selected to keep pace with their in- tellectual development. There are
 many interesting games and puz-
 zles available to accomplish this purpose. Illustrations should be faithful representatives if the
 child's knowledge is to be directed l through visual aids.
