WE ARE GIVEN CREDIT
FOR 1886 BIG ISSUE"

BY M. r. Kuehn. Richmond.
1 had a bunch that sooner or
later The Times would uncover the
big issue for 1886. In last Thurs
days Times you stumbled upon it.
Maybe even yet you do not realize
what you have done. The battle of
1886 will be fought over the ram
parts of "a 1250-pound Wisconsin
cheddar."
Not being versed in cheese ter
mlnology, the word "cheddar"
aroused my curiosity. Strange words
tasclnate me. But I didn't have to
go through the dull routine of look
ing "cheddar" up in the dictionary
From the context the editor made
1t clear that a "cheddar" is a big
hunk of cheese. Moreover, in this
case the cheddar weighed 1850
pounds, had been found in Wiscon-
sin and was being mailed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Thus, it is plain the issue in 1896
Will be cheese" and that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken the initia-
tive away from all other candidates
put together. True, the possession
OF 1850 pounds of Wisconsin cheese
does not guarantee reelection of
the President. 1t merely fortifies
MN IN his position. 1t makes &C
cess to him more difficult. He now
has the chance to dig himself in. 1t
Will be a tough job from now on
to dislodge him. There was a chance
up to now to get him out of the
trenches before Christmas" but
that's gone.
The Republican high command
surely realize by now what a
chance they missed. Teddy Jr. fol
one must be writhing and wiring
ing his hands. Secretly, of course
And there's Herbert Hoover. He's
smart enough to know that a bis
cheddar is more to be desired (iust
at this time) than a protective
tariff. And DR.. Writ wonder
what he's thinking about. He hac

He knew it. But now, Doth the
nomination and the bag are gone!
But Jim Farley and his board Of
strategy shouldn't get careless
either. It's we'll enough to BIZ

cocksure! To stray away from

SAYS BEASTS ARE TREATED
BETTER THAN HUMANS
By John G. C. Sohm

By John G. C. sohm
Wracked with pain and praying
for some doctor to end her suffer-
ing, the pleas of Miss Anna Becker
have moved an international ex-
pressed opinion. This is truly case
Of human interest and many hard
and soft-hearted gentry are having
a great time in growing profoundly
philosophical in their offerings
anent the situation.
We who are not moved by the
emotionalism engendered in the
headlines are satisfied in reading
that the poor soul has not the cour-
age to take her own life, and that
she is imploring some one else to
do the job for her. This statement
from her is significant when one
recalls her admission that her re-
ligion does not allow her to end her
misery herself. This leads me to OBJ
serve that somewhere in her re-
ligious picture, the faith must be
Of flimsy material. IT'S all in keep
ing with a much abused saying,
LET James do the job" IT'S modern
civilization, and even the civiliza-
ton gone by.
Modern civilized man does slay an
animal to end its suffering. Such
is the compassion of civilization in
our time. We favor the beast. The
beast is meticuously indexed and
periodically inspected and treated
so that meat on the table will prove
to be profitable and somewhat clean.
We civilized animals have cultivated
a tremendous fetish in pets, and
their we'll being is carefully attend
ed to. Our attitude toward Chris

is religiously scrutinized and woe
unto him who lays the whip upon
the dumb brute" in our enlightened
living. We even stress the plan of

untired worker in front of the fire

THINKS FLAG SALUTING
GOING TOO FAR

By Fl. B.
Aren't We going a little too far
with this compulsory f1ag-saluting
business? The people who are re-
fuSing to salute seem like pretty
decent folks and it seems ridicu-
lous to prosecute them, especially
when their stand is based on then
religious convictions and not dis
respect for the flag.
When we consider that the most
enthusiastic f1ag-saluters are the
politicians and grafters and their
saluting does not seem to make
them better citizens, it seems that
something is wrong somewhere.

GRIEF
BY HARRIET SCOTT oLINICK

This is a day for weeping tears
That long have travelled secret
roads;
The day to bring out year-old griefs,
The sharpened pain, the doubt that
goads.
For autumn brings her scarlet death,
Her quiet reaping Of all grief.
Bring forth your sorrows; let them
drop
To pale death with each drifting
leaf.

DROBABLY the perfect alumnus
L is Harry G. Leslie Of Purdue. To
hear the former Governor tell Of the
past, present and future Of the uni
versity is inspiring. To be as en-
thusiastic about anything as Harry
is about Purdue, and David Ross
and George AIDE, is to have the Sc
cret Of happiness.
AS former Purdue football play
er, you would expect Harry to en-
phasize the athletic side. But he
doesn't. Although, when I ran across
him recently he told me something
very cheering about intercollegiate
relations.
There has grown up in recent
years a warm friendship between
Purdue and another engineering
school, Carnegie Tech. Noble Kizer
and Howard Harpster are two of the
finest men in the coaching profess
sion; and Buddy Overend, Techs
graduate manager, is in the same
bracket.
Well, in 1884 Purdue went to play
Tech and the spectators were rained
out. The weather was SO bad hardly
anybody was inside the enclosure
except the players and the officials.
And Tech had Purdue there on a
rather formidable guarantee. Over
end simply could not pay off.
So Purdue graciously accepted
Techs note and the series continues.

when he engaged Elmer Burnham as
freshman coach. The point is that
Elmer had always been a high school
coach, one of the best, and an ex-
pert in handling young freshmen
athletes better than a college vet
eran.

ROOSEVELT AID
OF DEVIL, CRIES
BILLY SUNDAY
New Deal Borrowed From
Russia, Evangelist Tells
City BaptiStS.
me world IS going to hen.

The world is going to hell.
That's the opinion of the Rev.
William Ashley Billy Sunday,
tongue-lashing evangelist who loosed
one of his long-famed TRADES yes
terday afternoon at the First Bap-
fist Church here where he pleaded
for money to save the dying Winona
Lake Institutions.
That "the world is going to hell so
fast that it's breaking the speed
limits" has been the opinion of Mr.
Sunday for 40 years. but yesterday
the former National League baseball
player wound up and said it again.
See America Gone Loco"
His 70 years have not dampened
the ardor of this Iowa native who
has preached to more than 80 mil
lion persons and has caused more
sinners to hit the 'sawdust trail
than any other one person.
One reason for the world heading
in the wrong direction, according to
Mr.. Sunday, is the Roosevelt Admin
iStration which has patterned itself
after Russia.
America has gone loco. We are
trying to drink ourselves into Sobri-
ETY., borrow ourselves out of debt,
and have peace without justice. The
age is dying morally" the husky
voiced preacher told the more than
1900 people who crowded the church.
America doesn't want a dicta-
tor" he cried, and the 1900 cheered.
Raps College Professors
But the worst enemies of right to-
day are the goddess professors in
our colleges who talk our boys and
girls out of the faith of our fathers"
in the words of Mr.. Sunday, who
once held the record for stealing
bases.
He f1ayed the pedagogs who are
telling youth that restriction breeds
warped character" and claimed that
the youth of today aren't any worse
than they were in our day. They
just have more convenient ways of
making fools out of themselves"
Caustically Mr.. Sunday attacked
the false prophets who want to
make the United States a second
edition of Russia" and pounced on
nudists whom he tagged bunch of
nuts who ought to be sent to
Africa and be made to run around
with the monkeys and balloons" at
which remark the evangelist gave
convincing limitations of the ami
mails in their native hauntS.
Stating that Communism has in
troduced the morals of the barn
yard" and that America is headed
for economic destruction, Mr.. Sun
day climaxed his point with:
Some folks would sell coal to hell
for a profit"
There is just one decision-Christ

WAR PROFITS
LEGISLATION is
NOW ASSURED
House Liberals Victorious in
Their Fight to Amend
MCSWain Bill.

By Scripps-Hoicdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April S.-Drastic
legislation to take the profits out
of war appeared assured today
through the victory of House liberals
in their fight to amend the McSwain
bill.
Senators expect that the Nye bill,
which would limit corporation prof.
its to per cent and individual in
comes to about $4,000 in war time.
will be written into the McSwain
measure by the Senate.
This became possible when adop-
ton of tax amendment to thc
hIcSwain bill was forced in the
House. Otherwise, the constitu-
tional requirement that all revenue
legislation start in the House would
have tied the Senate's hands.
Way Now Clear
The way is now clear for us to
get what we want" said Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg (R., Mich),
rejecting the general opinion of his
colleagues on the Senate Munitions
Committee. Three days ago we
were headed straight for dead
lock, where we couldn't have done
anything but glare at each other"
Senator Vandenberg spent two
hours on the House floor Saturday
lining up Republicans and urging
Rep. McSwain, who served on the
War Policies Commission with him,
to accept the amendment taxing
excess wartime profits 100 per cent.
Country Behind Move
Mr.. McSwain said today he would
net ask reconsideration of any Of
the amendments added to his bill
on the floor last week, even that
sponsored by Rep Gerald Boileau
pro, Wis.,. The Boileau clause
would prevent conscriptS from being
sent to foreign soil to fight, except
to repel an invasion of the United
States.
That the country is strongly be-
hind war profits legislation with
teeth in it is the belief of members
of both House and Senate.
