THIED SUICIDE

New Haven, Conn, Dec 31-(U. P.)-Henry Harris, 70, unemploy- ed, tried to commit suicide to-day by leaping into the icy waters of Quinnipiac river but was hauled out by a passerby and taken to a hospital. Treated for shock and ex- posture, Harris was arrested on a breach of peace charge.

Finally. shortly before ii o. clock, a cab ventured to come for him. Slithering about the ice, the taxi managed to get him and his bride-to-be to the church, where everyone else had been waiting since 8 o. clock. At ii o'clock, just three hours late, the wedding cere- Mony began.
 Some days, it appears, it doesn't even pay to get up.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Of clemency powers. pardons and paroles are
nevertheless essential to any intelligent penal
system
In this connection the sensible suggestion
has been made to Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings that he publish the names Of all
persons who intercede in behalf Of federal con-
victs. Similar publicity should be adopted oy
state authorities.
In nearly every community. clemency petit
lions are in almost constant circulation. Many
people sign these petitions without knowing
anything about the prisoners involved. When
a released convict goes bad these same people
blame the public officials who turned him
loose. Petition signers should accept openly
the responsibilities of citizenship.
More important, the suggested publicity
policy would check politicians who secretly
coerce pardon and parole officials in behalf Of
vicious criminals.

TERRORISM DEFEATS ITSELF

DEFORE a band OF police officials in Paris.
- one OF the terrorists involved in the muir
der Of King Alexander has been telling his
story Of that crime
He has told how ardent Croatian revolu-
tionists formed a terrorist band and bound
themselves to give implicit obedience to its
orders. He has told how, a month ago, GER
tain members were ordered to meet in
Lausanne Switzerland. and how the leader
OF the band there gave them their orders.
None OF us knew what was to be done"
he said. An we knew was that some one
was TO be killed" Their leader reminded
them that they were as dead men" in his
hands. and that their lives would be forfeited
if they failed to carry out their mission.
All this somehow has the flavor of an z.
Phillips Oppenheim thriller And it is good
sidehght on the way in which men can de-
lude themselves into believing that pistol
and bomb can solve the worlds troubles and
that individuals can appoint themselves exc
cutoners and thereby help to right old wrongs
For the terrorist very seldom accomplishes
what he plans. Usually he touches off a
chain of events in which his own ideals are
overwhelmed completely.
Charlotte Corday killed Marat to end the
bloodshed Of the French revolution and make
human liberty secure. A bloodier terror than
Marat ever had dreamed of followed. and
French liberties wound up in the hands of
Napoleon.
John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln to avenge
the wrongs of the south. The immediate re-
suit was to give the so-caIled radicals" free
sway n Washington and to visit on the south
the unspeakable woes of the reconstruction
period.
Russian terrorists made car and nobility
their targets for generations to bring liberty
to Russia. Today the country occupies his
torys tightest strait jacket, and old-time rev.
dictionary heroes dare not cross the borders
The Mcnamara brothers bombed the Los
Angeles Times building to further the cause
Of union labor-and caused a revulsion of
feeling in which that cause was set back by
at least generation.
And so it goes. The fanatic appoints him
self to mend things by a sudden, drastic
strickland like these deluded wretohes who
killed Alexander creates a turmoil in which
his cause is utterly swamped.

A PROBLEM FOR NRA

THE tangle into which a slightly bedraggled
= Blue Eagle got itself in New York, where
200 garage owners have voted to return their
NRA emblems and conduct their businesses in

striking proof of the fact that no scheme faith

unless it gets local understanding and CO.
operation.
The head of the garage owners association
complains that the city permits al-night
street parking to flourish and let's parking lots
sprout everywhere on vacant lots. All this cuts
into the garages business. AS a result he
says the garages must return to the old sew
enty-two-hour week or fold up.
It is this kind of a snag-so impossible to
foresee, so very hard to handle when it ap-
pears-that keeps the Blue Eagle from full
filling all the high hopes we had when the
bird first took to the air.

TUESDAY, OCT . 1884


7 ME nationwide campaign Of the 1884 Mo-
bilizauon for Human Needs IS under way.
In indianapolis and hundreds of other cities
1t orngs 70 the citizens Of this city ana ma
ton one Of the biggest challenges they ever
will be called on to meet.
The challenge. briefly. Is this: To preserve
the national seif-respect by proving that
olo-fashioned neighborliness still exists in an
an area when the federal government is doing
much that local communities used to DO
Burdens Of the depression became too
heavy Tor private charity to bear several years
ago But the most tragic mistake We could
make would be to assume that because Uncle
Sam is spending billions OF dollars to feed the
hungry. we ourselves need not contribute any
thing
United in the Mobilization for Human
Needs are innumerable welfare agencies
health associations, character-building organ
izations and so on. The work they have to do
is every bit as important as the work Of
bringing food to the hungry; and they will not
be able to do it at all unless we dig down in
our pockets and give them the money they
need.
For it is not enough merely to give food and
shelter to the needy--which is all the govern
ment can do The sick must have medical
attention; children must have a chance to
play, to develop their faculties. to escape from
the deterioration that too often descends on
poverty-stricken homes; unemployed adults
must be given the kind of help that viii keep
them from slipping into the dreary class Of
the unempoyable.
In other words. the national morale must
be sustained by such means as the Indian
apols Community Fund. In the words of
Newton d. Baker. chairman Of the, mobiliza-
ton:
Rebuilding this year applies not only to
houses. skyscrapers. bridges and factories. but
to broken homes, scattered families. hunger
wounded bodies and the shattered hopes and
dreams of America
Such task is of the highest Importance.
It's accomplishment rests directly on the sue
cess OF the fund campaign of the MObiliza
ton for Human Needs.
Unless we give-and in the Old wartime
phrase, give until it hurts-we shall not be able
to rebuild in the way Mr.. Baker describes And
if we fail in that respect our eventual recov-
cry from the depression will leave the nation
with a spiritual scar that will never entirely
heal

THE FEDERALS GET ANOTHER

MOT long ago it was exciting news of con-
sequence when law enforcement officers
captured or killed fugitive criminal.
But since the recent advent of federal
agents in an active and cooperative campaign
against crime. it has become accepted as a
matter of course. Dillinger was rubbed out"
Pierpont was sent to the electric chair, and
Hauptmann is brought to trial A number of
battling kidnapping cases were solved, and the
perpetrators consigned to the cells of Leaven-
worth and Alcatraz
It was expected that eventually the fed
erals would get" Charles Floyd. Yesterday
they did
It is expected confidently that the federals
viii continue to wipe clean society's crime
slate. that eventually they will capture the
kidnaper of Mrs. Ston. corral Baby Face"
Nelson. and solve the Bremen, Hamm and
Robes kidnapings.
There is a tendency now to clothe the fed
erals with glamour. But recent successes have
not been due to introduction of any new ro-
mantle heroiSm in the federal force. Rather,
1t is the result of more comprehensive federal
crime laws. more liberal appropriations for
enforcement. better cooperation from local
officers. better organization and patient
planning.

REGIMENTED FARMERS

seem to like RECOMMENDATION" under the New
Deal.
Returns from referendum conducted in
the corn-hog sections of the country indicate
that by ratio of better than 8 to 2, the
farmers favor continuing the production
control program beyond 1885. Individual farm
ers have learned that it pays to cooperate
for the common good of all farmers. Many
farmers, this harvest season. struck balance
on their ledger sheets in black ink for the
first time in years.
A similar poll among consumers-who pay
the cost OF the farm program through higher
prices and processing taxes-probably would
have similar results. Most Of the people of the
county are both producers ard consumers.
and they know that the loss in farm purchas-
ing power was a major cause of the depression
and that the recent rise in farm purchasing
power has been major factor in the begin
ming of general business revival.

LET THE DEAD BE!

THE California scientist who restored dead
dogs to something resembling normal
life created a sensation when he asked per-
mission to experiment on restoring life to the
bodies of executed criminals That sensation,
however. is mild compared to the one Gre
ated by the 72-year-old ex-polceman who
volunteered to let the scientist put him to
death and experiment on him to his hearts
content.
This volunteer is Daniel Wooley. He says
There's nothing more for me in life-why
shouldn't do something for humanity now?"
The scientist has had to decline the offer
of course. But 1t is an odd thing that the
creepy feeling which the whole proposition
gives most of us comes from the second part
of the proposed experiment rather than from
the first.
To put man to death-that is a COM
monplace. It is this plan to restore life to
the temple from which it has fled that plays
tricks up and down our spines. We have an
illogical but instructive dread of seeing the
thing attempted.

NATURE OUTDONE

ME devices by which a mechanical age
seeks to improve itself often smacks of
the miraculous-and. occasionally very odd
sort of miracle to boot.
Experts in the animal nutrition labora-
tory of Cornell University recently completed
experiments in the raising of sheep on syn
thetic foods. They grew two sheep to maturity,
and fed them never single blade of grass.
Instead, the sheep were given weird mix
ture OF casein-the solid part of milk-cel-
lulose from chemical mills. starch, vitamin
concentrates, and salts containing essential
minerals
The sheep liked it. They got fat on it.
They became, indeed, very healthy and ro-
bust. Sheep that fed on the greenest and
lushest grass ever grown would not have looked
better
And the whole business, somehow, leaves
one with a rather dizzy sense of admiration.
That herbivorious animals can thrive on a
mixture of by-products from chemical fac
tories is about as startling reversal of ma
ture as one can easily imagine.

PREDICTS DEFEAT
OF ROBINSON
BY James F. Walker.

BY James F. Walker.
In reply to j. A. Perkins, it is not
difficult to follow man if he tries
to represent the masses of the peo-
pie, and President Roosevelt, like
the party, always has represented
that class. Mr.. Minton has dem
onStrated this fact in the utility
fight, and he will be an asset in the
cause in redeeming America from
the hands of few who got control
through the Republican party. If
you will take the time to study the
two parties, it will be understood
easily why the masses voted the
Democratic ticket.
AS to the Constitution, the mis-
take the Republicans made was that
they thought it was written exclu-
sively for them, but the voters of
this country, after they almost lost
their constitutions tramping the
streets waiting for that prosperity
just around he corner, have learned
differently.
The veterans will get square
deal from Roosevelt, AIinton and
the Democratic party. Lii Arthur.
like Sunny Jim, will be set aside and
forgotten.
The time is here when we want
men of action like Minton and
