BELIEVES PROPHETS
INSPIRED DIVINELY
By Mrs. Cora E. Kelly.

BY Mrs. Cora Z. Kelly.
In answer to the writer who re-
piled to the girl evangelist and
Frank Cummings in the Message
Center, who stated The prophets
were not inspired divinely and we're
not necromancers," I would ask the
writer to read 2 Peter 1:21, as fol-
lows:
Prophecy came not in old time
by the will Of man, but holy men
Of God spoke as they were moved
by the holy spirit"
They we're necromancers in that
they were moved by divine power
of Jehovah. Also, all Scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrines, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in
Righteousness, that the man of God
may be perfect and thoroughly fur
nished into all good works, Timothy
1:16, II.
Prophecy recorded in the Bible is
not mere literary essay to be dis
sected by modern critics and COM
pared with their own learning. It
is not intended to be understood by
those who push aside the name of
Jehovah and eXalt the name of some
creature. 10 was written for the
benefit Of true followers of Christ
Jesus, who are fully devoted to Je-
hovah and are giving their al to
Him, and to the honor Of His word
and name.

WARS AFTERMATH

A FOREST fire recently swept through
n part of Apremont Forest, near Chalons-
sur-Marne, France. Immediately, the air was
filled with the crash of exploding shells, which
Jared the countryside and put the f1re-ight-
erS in grave danger.
Bitter fighting took place in this forest
during the war. Many shells were shot into
it. Some of them were "duds"-they had
defective fuses, or something-and failed to
explode SO, during all the years since, they
lay there, waiting for the fire to come and
touch them off.
There is something very CHASTITY about the
thought of those messengers of death hiding
their time in the depth of a peaceful forest.
But they simply parallel the effects of war in
human relations.
War leaves many unexploded shells
hatreds jealousies, suspicious, injustices, de-
sires for revenge-and they lie inert, some
times. for many years waiting for the
moment of heat that will blow them I'D and
let them destroy human lives.

CLOAKING GRAVER ISSUES

A n old man named Mendel Bells died in a
n hospital in Saratoga Springs, N. Y, a
few days ago; and if the name doesn't mean
the world has just about forgotten one of its
most sensational murder trials
In 1911, Bells was living in a suburb of
the Russian city of Kiev. The suburb had
10000 inhabitants, of whom Bells was the
only Jew. Since anti-Semitism was almost
as rampant in Russia then as it is in Ger
many now Bells was not popular.
One day the body of 13-year- boy was
found in a cave on the edge of the suburb.
The lad had been murdered; his body was
pierced by no fewer than forty-seven stab
wounds. And Bells was arrested promptly
and charged with murder.
Strictly speaking, there was no evidence
against him. But that made no difference;
the accusation and the trial were matters of
passion, anyway. For Bells was accused of
having performed ritual murder" He had
killed the boy, it was said, so he might use
the blood to sprinkle on matzoths, the Pass
over bread.
1t is hard for us, today, to understand how
such charge could be taken seriously-but
it stirred all Russia. Citizens of Kiev shrieked
for Bells blood.
The trial was not held until 1913, and the
car had to order out 1900 Cossacks and 500
infantrymen to keep Bells from being lynched.
Once bomb was thrown at the carriage that
took him to court; another time, a mob tried
to burn a street car in which he was being
carried.
In the end, of course, Bells was acquitted.
Shortly afterward woman member of a band
of thieves confessed the murder. She was
executed and Bells, after many fluctuations,
made his way to America where he lived the
rest of his life in peace
Now all this would hardly be worth recalling
today, except for the light that it throws on
that strangest Of human phenomena, anti
Semitism.
The anti-Semitism of Russia was an arti-
fetal growth, pumped up by the government
to distract the populaces attention from its
real troubles. 1t betokened, as it always does,
a society ready to crash from its own rotten
ness.
Looking back at it, we can remind ourselves
that the man or the organization that raises
the banner of anti-Semitism usually does it
to keep people from noticing something of in
fnitely greater consequence.

INTERNATIONAL ANARCHY

News from London and Toxic is far from
IL reassuring.
Absence Of japanese spokesman has forced
the preliminary naval discussions at London
to be abandoned, at least for the time being.
From Toxic comes word that the Japanese
big navy coterie still plans to demand equality
with the British and American fleets else
Withdraw from the naval limitation agree
ments Of washington and London.
Today. it would appear, only a miracle can
prevent the final collapse of the Geneva dis
armament conference. If it fails nations may
push the present incipient ornaments race on
to another world cataclysm.
If the proposed 1885 naval conference is
wrecked, a new race for sea power almost viii
become inevitable.
Thus, on land. sea and in the air the only
limitation will be, not a sane, carefully worked
out international agreement. but what each
power thinks it should have and can afford
to build.
The maddest, most reckless, most adventur-
GUS nations Of the lot will set the pace and
the others will follow
The tidal wave of blood which engulfed
the world twenty years ago was due to inter-
national anarchy. There was no world agree
ment to limit arms. There was no world peace
machinery to substitute international under
standing for war.
The world today is about to return to the
conditions Of 1914. If ever there was a time
for sound-thinking world statesmen to exert
themselves, now is that time

HIGH TIME FOR ACTION

A WEEK. ago delegation representing the

before the city park board, urging that steps
be taken 10 establish playground for north
side children.
A month ago The Times urged that the
park board at least lay plans for the establish

Times pointed out that the north side IS per-
haps the most heavily Populated district Of
home owners in Indianapolis and that from
Thirty-eighth street north to the canal there
is not a single playground.
President Jacket Joseph OF the park board
promptly misinterpreted the pleas OF The
Times and quickly announced that the park
board had no more funds for additional play
grounds this year.
Mr.. Joseph also added that children on the
north side had large front and back yards in
which to play and that Fairgrounds were

BEETLE TRAPS GET
NO CHEERS
By Disguised.

BY Disguised.
Recently hundreds Of traps for
the capture of Japanese beetles
we're placed in and around Indian
apolis, by the United States govern
ment, according to city papers. Hav-
ing some business in the statehouse,
I noticed one Of these queer con-
traptiOns near the steps on the
Washington street lawn.
Entomologists may know the
habits of the japanese beetle. It
may be that they require all the
intricacies of these traps to be in
weighed into captivity. But if the
lone dried up insect which I saw in
that complicated contraption was
a japanese beetle, 1 think he de-
serves a state burial. How he ever
got into the trap is a mystery.
1t seems ridiculous that the ex-
pense Of some 300 traps Of this kind
should be visited on country
where commissions for the relief Of
unemployed constantly are being
formed. 1t is just an instance Of
the crazy lengths to which the gov
eminent goes in spending the peo-
pies money, when it could be used
to much better advantage in more
sensible ways.

RELIGION HELD CURE
FOR ALL TROUBLES
By a Hoosier Methodist.

BY a HoOsier Methodist.
Your paper seems willing to give
liberal space to wicked communist
attacks on our sacred Christian re-
ligion. I wonder if you will allow
space for its defense.
The old time religion Of our vir-
tuous ancestors offers all the solu-
ton we need for present problems.
The miseries of the present grow
small when we remind ourselves Of
the glorious JOY of looking upon the
face of Jesus in the sweet bye and
bye, for He gave us His holy promise
that He would prepare place for
u.s."
Can we not be patient until that
time Of communion with the saints
good old Moses, with his tablets of
stone-Jonah's story from his own
lips-Adam and Eve Gas the theater
ads say in person"-and all that
inspiring company?
How little our present troubles will
seem when we sit at the feet Of
Jesus, who died for us so long ago.

A NEW ELECTRIC AGE

A STRIKING difference between the New
"A Deal and the old is the effort of the new
to pass on to future generations something
besides the public debt.
Thus We find President Roosevelt creating
a national power policy committee. This COM
mittee. headed by Secretary Harold Ickes. will
serve as a clearing house for the power sur
veys now being conducted by various govern
mental agencies. 1t will formulate national
policy of looking toward cheaper rates and
more abundant use of electricity on farms and
in homes and factories.
Americas mammoth power industry stands
monument to a period that is passing. The
pioneering was done by daring enterpreneurs,
with vision of profits and courage to take
risks, and by municipalities which ventured
where private capital feared to tread and
hsrneSsed electricity for the convenience of
their citizens. Then along came the stock
promoters to merge the works of pioneers into
utility empires. With one hand they raked in
the money of investors Of biue-Sky stock flota-
tons. With the other hand they collected
service charges based on fictitious values.

Of the city.
This is contrary to the truth.
The North Side Federation Of Civic Clubs
urged the park board to take steps to acquire
plot Of land between Illinois and Meridian
streets and stretching from Thirty-eighth to
Fortieth street. 1t Is owned by two persons.
one Of whom is known for his civic pride. The
federation asked that contact be made with
the owners OF the land to determine if the
ground could be used for the sections children.
What has been done about that proposal?
The North Side Federation likewise points
out that there are 2,154 checked by school
hgures) children in the vicinity of the pro-
posed playground site. The federation de-
clares that children of the neighborhood are
playing in the streets and points out. ironically
enough. that those persons owning large front
and back yards do not want children playing
on their lawns.
The federation asks only that if the pro-
posed site can be obtained that the grass be
moved and the simplest type of equipment be
installed at the smallest possible cost.
The cost would be low indeed, compared to
the value of keeping children out of the
streets.
Just what is the park board going to do?

TUESDAY JULY II. 1894.
A GOOD BEGINNING

a QUARTER million dollars is the price
u the people paid for the senate inyesti-
cation into banking and securities practices.
Eight times that amount already has been
assessed or collected as result of tax evasions
disclosed by the senate committee.
Other tangible results Of the inquiry are:
Stronger tax laws. the truth-in-securities law
and the stock market control law.
1t is a splendid record Of public service.
But the Job has not been completed. The cor
rection Of high finance only has begun. The
committee has yet TO conclude its inquiry into
private banking. 1t has yet to explore the
management Of the insurance companies,
those great repositories Of the peoples saw
ings. II has yet to examine the trust af-
hliates Of national banks. and it only has
touched upon the stock jobbing methods
which have centralized control over railroads.

like to register a complaint, with an
ACCOMPLISHMENT that something be
done.
During the last few months, I
have visited several of our better
class drinking establishments. In at
least two of them I have found the
management apparently more eager
to increase profits by the sale of
cheap liquor than to regard the best
interests of their clients.

"old fashioned whisky sOurs" and
other concoctions with whisky as
the chief ingredient, being mixed
for a customer with the best OBJ
tainable liquor.
If the client seems to like the
drink, he frequently orders more.
I have actually seen the bartender
mix the third or fourth drink with
an inferior grade of whisky, often
not any better than just plain rot
gut"
Sometimes the customer will real
ize he is being made the goat, and
complains. Invariably, the bartend-
er will apologize, with the remark,
Il thought you ordered the cheaper
whisky"
Frequently, however, this custom
passes unnoticed, and the patron
after the second drink, is served
with rotten liquor. I hold no brief
for those who are not capable of
knowing what they are drinking. At
the same time, I can't criticise too
harshly these dishonest methods Of
making more money by the so-called
swank establishments.
All of which calls for regulation
by the state and city authorities,
not by ordinances prohibiting "gyp-
ping" the customer, but rather by
a good, sound and reasonable liquor
control system.

Proposed Criminal La1U Change ASSaiIed

vious to the returning of the in
dictment. The question is this:
will the state require the ac-
cuSed to do that which it does not
do itSelf?"
Suppose a defendant files his
alibi plea, setting up the fact that
he was at such and such a place
on May l, 1884. He is put upon
his trial and the evidence shows
that the crime was committed on
March 2, 1881, or for that matter,
a week prior to the time which
the defendant has established as
his alibi. 1t is easy to see what
position it would put a defendant
in if ne was actually innocent.
The matter is comical. A herd
of corporation lawyers grazing in
their green pastures imagine a sit
uation like we see in cartoons
where criminals are jumping
through loopholeS labeled techni-
calitieS in fence labeled the law.
They imagine that the criminal,
aided by that modern species of
witchcraft, criminal lawyers,
places a technicality upon the
judges bench, thumbs his nose at
the prosecutor. and walks out of
court free.
The truth is, very few men es-
cape punishment. through techni-
calitieS. There is less danger of
a guilty man being acquitted than
Of an innocent man being con-
victed, because every accused per-
son, as a practical proposition, is
presumed to be guilty.
Criminals do not escape conVic-
ton at trial. They escape pun
iShment by avoiding arrest or de-
lection Of their offenses or their
identity. Once arrested. with evil
dence against them, they are put
in the position of having to estab-
lish their innocence, regardless of
any fictitious presumption.
If we are to eliminate crime,
we must get back to it's roots.
Proper home training and proper
SChooI training is necessary.
These can only come with the
elimination Of poverty, for no
home can be properly governed
where want reignS. So far as de-
ficiency in the law is concerned,
it is merely a smoke screen emit
ted by officials for their own pro-
lection.

WHY FEDERAL OFFICERS
CAN'T NAB DILLINGER

BY J. G. D.
No wonder the federal agents
can't catch Dillinger. For a long
time it puzzled me that one mere
man could elude hundreds of gov
eminent agents and large army OF
police.
After reading the story in The
Times about the Negro woman who,
with bucketfulS of hot mash, routed
four federal agents, sending two of
them to the hospital, I understand
everything.
The brave federal officers finally
captured her with the help of tear
gas, three squads of police and a
police lieutenant bravely threaten
ing her with drawn revolver. In
cidentally, I was amused to read
that one of the federal men was
burned only ION the back" Reminds
me of those stories Of war days.

Prohibition tumbled before eco
nomic panic. The fight to deprive
man of his only surcease from wom-
an fell through, once woman learned
that tobacco, like the barber, might
oe adapted for her own comfort.
And again we are asked, practi-
cally commanded, to sign admission
that we are a nation of poor blind
fools with moronic tendencies. Must
we force upon the screen and stage
the role of serving up pap to a
public, which already sits in bore
dom with tongue in cheek?
1t isn't the morals Of the enter
tainment field that are so greatly
at fault. If the truth is a salacious
truth, then shall we cover it and
let it flourish as a lie?
These arts, with all their faults,
never did a greater service to those
who patronize them than in join
ing with part Of the journalistic
field and presenting life as it is
lived in certain strata Of our So
ciety, high and low.
IN a world Of realism the writer,
to live, must serve up realism, soft
ened only for the censor. So then,
if it is a world of smut and SEN
suality, if we are a dizzy people,
equipped with sterile brains and
blatherish wise cracks, to say moth
ing of a "don't-give-a damn about
the other fellow complex" what
then is the profit in frustrating re-
form by hiding our heads from the
truth and providing proof of our
priggishness?
1t almost seems an admission of
failure upon the part of the church.
In the long run, it is likely that
the clergy will fail to have thanks
for the party, or parties, who have
tucked this bug in their ear. 1t is
likely to proven boomerang idea.
