WAR AND PEACE"

PRESENTATION Of a course on War and
= Peace" in any American university should,
ordinarily, be a cause for congratulations,
especially when word comes that the course,
though not adding diploma credits, is en-
listing many Of that universitys students.
Word of such a course has come from De
Paw University, but this newspaper; eager to
commend, finds itself in a quandary. What is
one to think when, in a course presumably
designed to promote a desire for peace-and
no other presumption is posSible-there appear
listed as speakers representatives of E. I. du
Pont de Nemours 6 Co., munitions manufac-
turers extraordinary?
That Representatives Of this vast organiza-
ton for manufacturing messengers of death
could honestly desire peace was doubted by the
American people even before the sensational
disclosures of the fearless Senate committee
headed by North Dakota's Gerald P. Nye. To
bring such witnesses before a youthful and
impresSionable jury-can this be construed as
kindness or. more important, as impartialty
in a course on War and Peace?"
There is little else reassuring in yesterdays
news story telling of the Inauguration of the
course. United States Army officers, trained
for war. will be among the speakers. Frank
N. Belgrano Jr., national commander of the
American Legion, an organization Of veterans.
never pacific in attitude. is to be asked to be
the first speaker.
The only crunb OF comfort to be found
lies in the statement. almost as a postscript,
that "a Methodist (EpiscopaD bishop will be
asked to present the church's view" 1t is,
perhaps. significant that the story says he will
be asked to do this 'later"
Are We training for war or peace?

classified Civil Service examinations and their
jobs are more or less permanent. partisanship
nevertheless influences the appointments.
But there is real merit in the proposal Of
Senator Vandenberg Of Michigan to establish
career service in the Postoffice Department,
so that clerks, letter carriers and other
subordinates may rise from the ranks to be-
come postmasters and department executives.
There also is much to be said for the pro-
posal Of Rep. Mcleod of Michigan to appoint
the Postmaster General for 15-year term,
and make him ineligible to succeed himself.
This would help stop the demoralizing disrup-
ton Of the postal service that occurs every
tine an Administration change in Washing
ton turns the department over to a new chief
patronage dispenser. Making the Controller
General a 15-year non-partisan appointee has
eliminated politics in the General Accounting
Office.
In its last annual report, the National Civil
Service Reform League said:
ut has unfortunately become traditional
in this country that the Postofice Depart
nent, instead of being administered like the
great business institution which it is, shall be
actually used as a vast political machine. Post
master General Farley has not departed from
the tradition.
"The examination system now conducted
for these postmasters is a sham and a mere
cloak for the spoils system. 1t is a disgrace
to the Roosevelt Administration and serious
liability to the United States Civil Service
Commission. Try as it will, the commission
can never make such a system represent the
merit principle"

ously, he would take the extreme
radical vote. This is the only
chance for the Republican party in
1896. They should start in boosting
Huey.
Perhaps they are afraid Huey
might win. There is no danger.
There is only one qualification that
is indispensable for the presidency,
as history shows, and that is dig
nifty. The press has succeeded in
making Huey look like a clown.
There is another reason why Huey
can never be President. No man
ever reached the office who has ex-
clusively attacked the rich. Mr..
Bryan got as near to it as any one
ever will. The middle class won't
permit it for a very good reason.
The middle class is thoroughly
convinced that concentrated wealth
is the best thing in the world to
maintain a good market for the
goods and services which the middle
class have to sell, namely; food,
clothing, housing, radios, cars, and
other moderately priced doo-dads.
Having been taught the virtues Of
saving the evils of spending, they
have come to admire the storing
away Of purchasing power as the
supreme social good. They believe
it is necessary in order to finance
great affairs. And that the issuing
of corporate shares is ineffective for
that purpose. They have come to
believe that only the inheritors of
great wealth are born with the
brains to manage great enterprises

NOT JUST AN ACT

WILL ROGERS, the gentleman who made
W himself world-famed stage figure, who
is one of the movies top-fiight players and
who shines on the radio as comedian" is
hardly that.
Mr.. Rogers came to Indianapolis to stage
a benefit performance in behalf of the Junior
Leagues drive for the James Whitcomb Riley
Hospital for Children.
He visited the hospital, joked with the
children, praised the whole setup. He was
touched and every one knew it.
After his performance here, Mr.. Rogers re-
fused to accept the check for expenses due
him. No, he said, he didn't Think he ought
to have it. Then he sat down and wrote a
$3.50 check as his own individual contribution
to the Riley Hospital
VIII Rogers is hardly>a comedian.
Will Rogers is a true American-and
man.

BABY BONDS

THE United States Treasury intends to give
L Mr.. John Citizen a chance to become
creditor, as we'll as tax debtor of his govern
ment Its general rehnancing program includes
a new plan to offer to the public 10 and 90
year bonds in denominations as low as S25.
There will be no coupons to clip. The bonds
viii be sold on discount basis. Mr.. John
Citizen, who probably hasn't seen a govern
ment bond since the last Liberty Loan drive,
can go into the nearest postofice, and-if the
interest rate is fixed at 2l5 per cent as ex-
pected-pay S78 for a bond which he can cash
10 years later for 500. If, at any six months
interval before maturity, he wants cash, he
can sell his bond for $78 plus interest to date.
OF course. those John Citizens who have
plenty of money always have been able to buy
government bonds through the banks. But to
the millions whose savings are small, the baby
bonds will be a safe and attractive investment.
The plan should stimulate thrift should
help make the market for government securi-
ties even more steady than it is, should make
more Americans feel that they have a real
interest in their government and make them
less inclined to fall for every blue-sky plan
that comes along.
Until it has been tried, no reliable forecast
can be made of the extent to which the gov
ernment's obligations can be withdrawn from,
the hands of the banks and insurance CONF
panies and placed in the hands of the people.
Nor can there be any dependable estimate of
how much of the governments Indebtedness
can by this method be converted from short
term into long-term obligations. But the baby
bonds surely viii encourage such healthy
trends.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY %. 1895.
A TEST IN TEXTILES

nELAY has been a major irritating factor
IL in adjustment of labor disputes under
the New Deal.
Last spring a textile strike was threatened.
Gen. Johnson prevented it by pledging four
prompt MIRA studies Of textile labor conditions.
Two Of them have never been publicly released
to this day. The delay caused a renewal Of
demands in July and August which resulted in
the national strike on Sept. 1. After three
weeks, the strike was settled under the for
muia of the Winant Textile Board providing
that the Department of Labor and Federal
Trade Commission should make necessary
studies.
Their factual reports have been submitted
to the President. Under the Winant agree
ment, they are to be passed along to some
board designated by the President for final
determination of the justice of workers de-
mands for adjusted wages. shorter hours and
elimination of the stretch-out.
The workers, although generally reported
as even more restless now than when the
ISeptember strike occurred, have waited
patiently for the studies to be completed The
task required more time than anticipated.
Unless prompt action is taken on the re-
ports, another and larger national textile
strike in the spring is predicted
Similar situations exist in ether large in
dustries.
Government recognition Of the importance
Of prompt adjudication - proved by strikes
attributable to old delays-will do more than
anything else perhaps to determine whether
the spring brings a new crop Of strikes.

INCONSISTENCIES
man.

A N English visitor not long ago made a
L three or four weeks trip across the
United States, and the things he saw i'm
pressed him so deeply that he had to retire
to his study at once and write book
In this book, according to advance reports,
he expresses his utter amazement at the con-
tradictions he found in American life. Ac-
customed to the staid and orderly conditions
of England, he was bewildered and little
appalled, by what he saw over here
These things being so, his only possible
recourse was to turn author and speak his
mind about things.
1t is impossible not to feel little sympa-
thy for him, because if there ever was a
country which it is impossible to understand
at a glance it is this America of ours.
Some of us, indeed, have lived in it all our
lives and still don't understand it. 1t is, all
in all, about as amazing land of contrasts
and contradictions as human beings ever
made.
1t is land which profeSsionalizes college
athletes and makes heroes out of prize fight
ers and baseball players; it is also a land
which produces scientists like AIillikan and
Compton and casts a 2OO-inch telescope to
look at stars that man never saw before.
1t is the land where the dollar is worshiped.
but it is also the land which is willing to 90
seven or eight billion dollars in the hole in an
effort to break its way out of a trade de-
preston.
1t is the land of cheap movies, cheaper
radio, and society leaders" who indorse tooth
paste for pay-and it is also the land that
produces persons like Jane Adams and gives
men like Leopold Stokowski free rein to create
beauty.
1t puts Huey Long in its Senate, and then
counterbalances him with George W. Norris.
1t is the land of the Lindbergh kidnapping, but
it is also the land which produced Lindbergh
himself.
1t is world famous as a land of boosters.
but for years it has paid good money to for
eign authors and lecturers to tell it what is
wrong with it.
1t is the hard-hearted land of lynchings
and it is the generous land which will send
millions of dollars to japanese earthouake
victims 1t maintains a gigantic NAVY and
spends millions on aircraft, but it is the only
nation brave enough to expose the chicanery
Of munitions manufacturers
You could go on like that for an hour.
How, indeed, is any foreigner to understand
such people?
A compound of wisdom and foolishness.
OF braggadocio and humility, of strength and
Weakness-we can't understand ourselves.
We can only sense that we are a strange
people of infinite possibilities, who are build
ing society unlike any other on earth
and our saving grace is the fact that we have
the courage and the idealism to insist that
it shall also be better than any other.

and that such brains can not be
hired.
They feel that their fate is in
separately bound up with the fate of
vast accumulations of hereditary
wealth and that any increase of in
come and inheritance taxes in the
higher brackets is a direct blow at
them.
The Old Guard has nothing to
worry about. President Roosevelt
nearly lost the nomination by men,
tioning the forgotten man. Al
Smith said he would tear his coat
off and fight any man who made
such demagogic appeal. In view
of these things, it would seem that
the stupidity of the Old Guard is
only equaled by that of the New
Deal which could easily steal Huey's
thunder by raising income and in
heritance taxes in the higher
brackets.
Should there be, by chance, any
one interested in this subject, he
could save himself the trouble of
writing Senators Van Mugs, Minton
or Rep. Ludlow, by just clipping this
out and mailing it to them.

Urges FERA Merit System

I do not believe hard work ever
hurt any one. Neither do be-
lieve that a man should be made
a boss without first having some
experience in handling men. But
such is not the case on these
FERA and CWA projects. The
man who has some pull can get
any job he wishes and the public
would be surprised to see some of
the ditch diggers and coal beavers
try to handle a gang of men.
If the merit system were used
on these projects there would be
much more work put out and
everything would run smoothly.
I have talked to a great many
men on other projects and they
say their foremen, in most cases,
are the same, although a few said
the bosses" acted like gentlemen.
I have found in my short expert
ence on this project that the man
who is boss has never before had
a position of any Importance. In
most cases he really imagineS he
is frightening some poor devil
when the fact is every man on the
job is laughing to himself.
In many cases these foremen
are not getting any more salary
than the laboring men. The la
borer knows this and decides the
boss is only a poor man like him
self and has very little authority,
so he will let him enjoy life by
thinking he is big shot.
In so far as showing any pref
erence in regard to creed or poll
tics 1 think we should all do as
Father Coughlin says, Forget our
likes and dislikes and all work to-
gether for the good Of human

By Michael Murphy.

BY M1cnael Murphy.
I can not let some writer's get
by with what they say in regard
to FERA work being carried on in
and around Indianapolis. There
is quite a lot of talk about the
treatment of men working on
these projects.
I was never on a job in my life
where the so-called bosses, tried
to ride men as they do on these
projects. There is no class dis
tinction on the project and these
bosses treat all men like they
were dogs and no matter how
hard we try we can not do enough
work to please them.
Many of the men working are
skilled mechanics and Office work.
erS who never worked at anything
else. These men can take these
bosses and put them on a job that
required skill or in an Office and
the boss would be at a loss to
know what to do. Yet the bosses
expect these mechanics to get out
on job they know nothing about
and do two mems work each day.
We all know there are many
men who will lay down on any
job and a good boss can soon
learn who these men are. The
men who are selected as foremen
are men who are not bosses, but
what we ex-service men call
hand-shakers.
I can do anything any other
man can do and I am willing to
do just as much, but I must first
learn what is to be done. 1 never
in my life did manual labor, as I
have always been in an office, but
I do not like the idea of some
man yelling at me when I am
trying to do my best.
