THE FINAL VICTORY

WILLIAM FERGUsON's entertaining Sc
w ries of drawings, This Curious World, +"
makes an interesting point about George
Washington's military career, pointing out
that while Washington was in command of
the American revolutionary army he lost con-
siderably more battles than he won
He was routed badly on Long Island, he
was chased north from Manhattan he was
pursued all across New Jersey, he failed to
stop the British before Philadelphia, and he
failed to cut them off when they moved back
to New York.
Truly, if the mere number of victories
were any criterion, Washington was a very
poor general
Yet he occupies high rank as a military
man; and his career reminds one of what
often is said of the British army in other
wars-that it has habit of losing every
battle except the last one.
That was what Washington did. He lost
fight after fight. but he never gave up. and
he won the last one-which counted more
than all the others put together

LIFE OF OUR LORD"
BY JOHN WHARTON

a I read the new Life of o,,r ro~.sp
Charles Dickens. the thouobt oo,,o -
me that there are many who do not believe
.li"' 'Ne story is true; who do not believe that
Jesus was the Son of God; that He arose from
the dead; that He assembled into heaven and
that He will come again.
1t ought to be true
II ought to be true that divinity said IN
the tired and the forlorn to the DISCOURAGED
and the distressed:
Come all We who are weary and bes,v
laden and I will give you rest"
1t ought to be true that there was ono -
say 70 the SNUG and the self-glorified:
Let him among you who is without sin
cast the first stone"
1t ought to be true because of a world suf-
fering from the consequences of avarice and
double dealing, needs the hand of a Master
to point the way.
Regardless of what our religious beliefs
may be, the fact is that had we followed. in
practical sense, the teachings of Jesus. this
and other nations would not be in the plight
in which they find themselves.
In world living under the tenets of the
great reservoirs of wealth. while children were
crying from hunger; while women were SUI
fering from cold; while men were walking the
streets, pleading in vain for the right to Jobs.
In q world controlled by the tenets of the
Golden Rule. We would need no laws to make
bankers honest; to make employers just; to
make workmen worthy of their hire
We have suffered because of our own folly:
because of selhshness; because of lack of in
tegrity; because men here and there believed
that they we're sufficient unto themselves.
Tomorrow, next week next month-no man
knows when-the trumpets again may sound,
the drums may roll calling men to war Ma
tons. in their pride, will send forth their
youth to die on battlehelds, as other youths
died in the war which was to end all wars
Hate once more will be in the saddle and
women will throw themselves upon their knees
and weep. even as Mary wept at the foot of
the cross.
Nineteen hundred years have passed since
that dark day at Golgotha when Jesus, in the
agony of death. turned to the thief upon the
cross and said:
This day shalt thou be with me in Para
disc"
But IN those nineteen hundred years we
seem to have been guided little by the teach
ings Of the Man Of Galilee.
And we have paid the price.
We seek by Law, to make men honest
and our prisons are full. But If all the men
in prisons were released and If al the dishon-
est men now free were placed behind bars.

REPUBLICANS DOOMED

BY James F. Walker.

BY James F. Walker.
Never before in the history of
American politics has the consen-
sus been so overwhelming in adj
miration of our President. Since
Washington, he is the idol of Amer
lea. The Republicans are so pan
icky, it's the most co11ical exhibi-
ton of the day. Every attack they
make rebounds like boomerang,
hitting SO hard they never regain
consciousness.
The next presidential campaign
is going to be another one of those
whispering campaigns, if by that
time they are able to whisper. 1
doubt if they will be, for if it is
started this early three years from

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
SHELL SHIPS"

A MOTHER reform effort for which NRA
n is to be thanked is the proposed code Of
the salmon Gamers, to be heard in San Fran
cisco on Feb. 26.
For decades labor conditions among the
unskilled salmon cannery hands who are
shipped each spring by the thousand from
Pacific coast ports to Alaska have been a ma
tional scandal.
In 1922 the ScrippS- Howard newspapers as
signed reporter to investigate these condi-
tons. Disguised as a cannery hand he shipped
on one of the ancient wind hammers, known as
hell ships" took the perilous Journey to
Bristol Bay and worked in a typical cannery
there
The things he found and wrote about re-
called the days of slavery. Americans we're
hired by Chinese labor contractors, overworked
underpaid exploited by Quitting middle
men, subjected to extreme dangers of disease
and exposure. Many came back in the fall
owing money to the contractors This news
paper exposure brought minor reforms through
state laws.
The new code raises wages, limits hours,
insures safe conduct and medical care. It's
chief value is that it abolishes the Chinese
contract system that has survived from the
early Fifties, when Chinese did the rough work
for the far west.
The old sailing vessels that used to haul
the workers and their product to and from
the salmon fields of Alaska are being replaced
by steam freighters. 1t is encouraging to learn
that the vile conditions with which they were
associated also are passing.

FRIDAY. FEB. 70. 1884.
RATIFY THE AMENDMENT!

IF the Kentucky legislature fails to ratify
the federal child labor amendment it will
not be for lack of lucid explanation as to just
why it should act
Labor Secretary Frances Perkins in ner IN
precedented but very sensible address this
week gave the legislature practical rather than
sentimental reasons for ratifying
Only federal action on this subject will
protect states and employers. she pointed out.
Without uniform standards employers who are
unwilling to exploit this cheapest form of
labor are at the mercy of less scrupulous en-
ployers. Likewise states which rebel at the
social effects of industrial labor upon their
children are at the mercy of states which are
Indifferent to the problem.
The state child labor laws fit together like
a crazy patchwork quilt" said Miss Perkins.
Industry does not recognize political boun-
daries many important industrial areas spread
across state lines The development OF our
economic and industrial structure is calling
for a degree of national cooperation and
supervision that was unnecessary $50 years
ago
I'm many states in which efforts to raise
state standards met with failure the child
labor amendment was ratified This indi-
Gated a widespread conviction that we must
move forward together"
1t is true that we should move forward to-
gether. Doing so. we shall hurt no employer.
no industry. no section of the country. If
we fail to go forward there is no alternative
but a retreat again to exploitation of the
wealth and vigor of the country tomorrow.

Roosevelt, has removed this issue from the
realm of politics. from the realm of sentiment

PEACE, NOT WAR, SHOULD
BE AIM OF NATIONS.

By J. M. B.
What is wrong with the world?
Reading daily news from here and
everywhere brings you nothing but
talk of war. You read of that coun-
try in Europe and then another
country talking about rebuilding
strength for war. Unrest, bloodshed,
governments falling, war talk here
and there. What is wrong with the
world leaders? Don't they realize
that the more they look to strife
and unrest the harder their problem
becomes and soon they, too, shall
fall.
Wars don't solve the problems.
People don't want wars. To you
world leaders, Hitler, Dollfuss, Dou-
mergue, Stain, Mussolini and
others, lay down your plans of war
and arms. Now is the time for all
those peace conference and happy
relations and not talk of going to
war. Call a halt right now.
To you leaders of the world, get
together all of you, spend a couple
of weeks in some country and peace
fully untangle this worldly unrest.
1t can be done. You never will do it
with talk of war and steel, but you
can do it with good sound thinking.

SERVICE PLEASE" is
PLEA TO SHERIFF
Mrs. H. Morrison.

Mrs. H. Morrison.
I live at the north end of Key
stone avenue. I am a widow, liV-
ing on a rented farm and trying to
make an honest living. I would
like to know how to get protection
from thieves.
They came last fall three differ
ent times, broke the lock and stole
my chickens. We called the sher-
if, but he didn't come.
Last week they broke the lock
on our meat house, and took all my
meat and lard. We called the sher-
if early next morning He said ne
would come right out, but he didn't
come.
Now, if the sheriff's time is all
taken up, I suggest we elect rural
sheriff, as we farmers need pro-
lection from thieves, or do they
think we work hard to keep plenty
for the thieves to steal.
Now, I would like you to print this
and see that the sheriff gets his
paper.

URGES NEW DEAL IN
CIVIC MOVEMENTS

BY Corporal j. w. Carter.
I have read that Mark r. Gray

l. that those famous physicians, Minnesota's
Mayo brothers. have done in giving an ad-
ditional 100000 for medical research to the
University of Minnesota.
Their explanation is that, since the money
originally came from the sick, I'VE believe
that it ought to return to the sick in the form
of advanced medical education"
This country seldom has produced any
more truly useful citizens than these Mayo
brothers. And, incidentally, by their gener-
osity to the cause of medical science, they
seem to have demonstrated pretty clearly
that desire for riches is not the only mo-
tive that can cause talented man to give
his best efforts to his job.

WHEN RADICALS MEET

ONE thing that the ordinary citizen finds
~ it almost impossible to understand is the
venomous bitterness which the different radi-
cal sects hold toward one another.
The row between Socialists and Com
munistS at that Austrian protest meeting in
New York the other night is a case in point.
To most of US, probably, the difference be-
tween Socialist and Communist is not very
great certainly it can not be a tenth as
great as the difference between either party
and an out-and-out capitalist
But neither Socialist nor Communist ever
assails the capitalist with half of the sus.
tanned fury that he looses on his comrade
in-radicalism.
A Socialist-Communist row is the most
savage of al political scraps
And it's all very hard to comprehend.
One would think the two factions at least
could present united front against the es-
tablshed order
But they can't They never fight so we'll
as when they are fighting each other.

500 pending a trial Friday. Off
Gals told County Judge J. r.
Shepard the preacher had been pay
ing boys 10 to Is cents each for
any couples they brought to his home
for marriage ceremonies.
Conviction of the offense carries a
penalty of $40 to 500 and possible
revocation of the pastors license to
perform marriage ceremonies. Four

Smith and Charles ArthurS
The town. with a population OF
