LESSON FOR GIGGLERS

A MINISTER in a small town in Missouri
n found the quiet of his Sunday morning
services disturbed the other day by the re-
peated giggIes of half dozen young people
who found each others whispered remarks
mere interesting than the sermon SO, after
church was over, he had the whole crew ar
rested on charges of disturbing religious
worship, and the court imposed fines of ST
and costs.
Few ministers have ever gone to the
lengths this gentleman went; but there must
be dozens of ministers, school teachers and
Similarity placed people who will have
whole-hearted fellow feeling for him.
The youngster whose parents have never
bothered to tell him Cor herr what an irri-
tating thing the everlasting giggle is, pops up
everywhere, and is invariably an unmitigated
public nuisance. If a few more people had
nerve enough to take action as this Mis-
souri, clergyman took it, some of our public
services, religious and otherwise, would run
much more smoothly.

UPHOLDS LEGION BOYS;
GIVES THEM WELCOME

BY a Reader
In all my travels, consisting of al
most every state west of Ohio, it
has been my pleasure to meet some
of the finest men I have ever known
who are proud of the fact that they
have served their country in the
World War. While some are profess
sional men, others are in businesses
which haven't Jared so well. But to
me they are real honest-to-God
men.
It's Just a matter of a few days
until Indianapolis will be host to
some 10000 Of these gallant heroes
and every one should try to make
their short stay a welcome one.
However, I see some of our sup
posed business men term the Legion
as undesirables, especially a res
taurant across from the Union De-
pot which has signs posted assert
ing the restaurant will be closed
during the convention. have been
a regular customer there for the last
year and I resent it personally and
I think that should be the attitude
Of every man that served as little
as one day in camp.
Oh, yes, we can remember the real
honest to-God Americans who stood

serves in military capacity only
during war time has a different
slant on things.
He may not be interested in the
abstract thing called war, either for
or against it. But, if he is Of a
practical turn of mind, he will think
twice before shifting from civilian
to military life. In case a foreign
nation should attack any of our
shores directly most men would feel
it their duty to shift to military life
until the attacks were repulsed.
But, it is doubtful if man who
served overseas would repeat actions
of 10 years ago. The experience,
except for the travel thrills in for
eign lands, did not convince many
of the desirability or necessity for
another jaunt Of this type. Many
would uphold our constitutional
form of government from under
mining here at home, but the idea
of long range protection and in
terest in the other fellows quarrels
is taboo.

D EP. MAURY MAVERICK of Texas is still
demanding legislation before this ses-
sion adjourns; and while there seems to be
little chance that he will have his way, his de-
mand is a soundly sensible one that ought to
be needed.
1t is his notion that we ought to prepare
in advance to stay out Of war, and not drift
along until the issue is settled "by the same
crooked combination and forces that washed
us into the World War" Most Americans
will probably agree with him.
Legislation which would make our remain
ing at peace far more likely has already been
drafted and is now awaiting action With
European affairs in their unstable state, there
is little excuse for congressional failure to act
on the matter

WILD ENGINE

THE new railmen's pension BILL rushed
Il through Congress with little debate or
opposition, is a wild engine.
1t lacks a tender with fuel The bill pen
sions some $4,000 railnen past Is next year at
a cost of S50,000,O00. Its companion bill to tax
rail carriers and railmen for revenue to re-
plenish the United States Treasury for these
pensions is stalled in the House Ways and Means
Committee. The bills belong together first
because they set out to meet the Supreme
Courts objection to last years pension act by
the simple device of appropriating and taxing,
and thus avoid the question of interstate COM
merce. and next, because without revenue the
government must pay the bill out Of the gen.
eral tax funds
Congress also put the cowcatcher on the
wrong end of this engine. 1t added the reso-
luton to investigate the subject of rail pen
sions to the bill providing for pensions. Why
pass bill and then investigate the basis for it?
Here is an example of scram legislation,
that will react against the welfare of the mil
lion rail workers. Their pensions under the
bill stop atasl2O month, while top annuities
under the Social Security Act for other
workers are sSl Is monthly. If Congress fails
to pass the revenue half of this program the
government will be accused of paying out high
pensions in behalf of favored class.
The President should hold up the bill until
Congress passes its companion measure.

URGES VETERANS GO
AFTER THAT BONUS

BY Veteran
Hoosier Legionnaires, now that
you are assembled in legislative
body, show us veterans of the World
War what you are made of. Adopt
a resolution asking universal con-
scription in the next war. When pol
iticians, industrialistS, capitalists,
and bankers are forced to do a goose
step at $50 month, rumorS of
war will suddenly decline in popu-
larity.
And say, Buddies, don't forget
to demand cash payment OF the
bonus. Oh, know you will be sub
ject to such remarks as "the veteran
is a greater menace to the country
than the Communist" commercial
patriots" treasury raiders" and
numerous other banker coined
phrases, but stick out your chin,
Buddy, and show them you can
take it.
It has been many year since you
writer's wrote themselves into emo
tional tantrums praising your deeds,
monuments we're erected in your
honor with abandoned reckleSsnesS,
and if I recall correctly down east
village went so far as to erect a
comfort station to your everlasting
glory.
Remember, too, that the Civil
War boys have been treated gen.
erously by Uncle Sam. The Spanish
War vets, who we're called upon to
squelch an uprising of a small band
of G-string strunmers and rumba
dancers, have been restored to full
benefits by repeating the Economy
Act as pertains to them.
And while your chin protrudes
pay no attention to the rear adj
mirals and spurred desk officers
who, while accepting lifelong retire
ment doles from the government,
will cry loud and long and resign
from your organization.
Yes, sir. Buddy, that bonus is
rightfully yours on the premise that
a laborer is worthy of his hire.

EDITORIAL ON WAR
is PRAISED
By Hiram Lackey

By Hiram Lackey
Delightfully."- analytical is your
editorial of Aug. 81 which unmasks
the real motives of Britain and re-
veals the wrenches which she has
thrown between the cogs of inter
national peace machinery.
Above ali, that editorial is fair
and just. 1t is a splendid example
of scholarship in journalism.
This editorial gives us that quail
ity of enlightenment which, in 1917,
could have saved the United States
billions of dollars and hundreds OF
thousands of lives. You are fighting
for the greatest Of all causes-peace.
1t is worthy Of martyrdom.
True, we can but dinly ap-
preciate the value of your service.
We will not give you one-millionth
of that which you deserve. How
ever, the intellectual joy Of writing
such an editorial is its own reward.
And you must find happiness in
the knowledge that you are main
tanning the prestige of The Indian
apoliS Times, which is renowned for
the excellence of its editorials.

1t is with keen interest that I
read each issue of The Indian
apolis Times. I judge a paper by
its editorials and 1 find it to be
the fairest to organized labor of
any newspaper published in In
diana.
In regard to our unemployment
situation, can not see that there
has been any constructive legiS-
lation so far.
We can not deny that our gov
eminent relief work has been a
great help. In the first place, it
was only intended as a temporary
measure with the hope of Stimu-
lating business by creating more
consumption. This can not solve
the problem because they have
not taken the real cause of our
situation into consideration.
1t is true it will cause some
few to be given work that have
been laid off temporarily but it
will not put any man or woman
back at work that has been dis
placed by modern machinery.
Until this is done, there can be
no relief.
Big business would have the
public believe that organized
labor is fighting modern machin-
cry. This is not fact. We are
only fighting a system under
which it is operated.
If the machine is not regulated
so that it will benefit the people
as a whole instead of just its
owner, it will continue to be
detriment to all concerned. In
order to prevent this, it becomes
necessary to put the machine and

WELCOME, AMERICAN LEGION

INDIANAPOLIS bids welcome to the seven
tenth annual convention Of the Indiana
department of the American Legion.
The capital city is more than happy to
have as its guests the thousands of ex-service
men gathered here and wishes the conven-
ticn every success.
Legionnaires from northern, southern,
eastern and western Indiana will find Indian
apols truly the friendly city"
indianapolis wants every Legion man to
feel right at home. May every member leave
the convention remembering this city as the
heart of Indiana" not only geographically,
but in spirit as well.

the hours Of labor on a COMPETE
tive basis. In laying the Black
bill to one side, I believe our Ad-
ministration muffed the chance Of
doing some real good.
Being a United Mine Worker,
I have the welfare and the adj
vancement of organized labor at
heart. While I have not yet been
displaced by the machine, there
are thousands in the Indiana coal
fields that have and with no hope
of ever being employed in the
mines again. No one can truth
fully say that the U. M. w. A. has
not tried to go along with the
Administration and tried to ne
gotiate a contract without a
strike.
Labor's only strength lies in it's
right to strike after all other eff
forts have failed to win, and 1 am
a firm believer in that right.
do not believe in arbitration
after a strike has been called. We
should be sure we are right and
stay with it. 1t is true that or
gained labor has lost a lot be-
cause of violence, not the fault Of
labor. 1t is the business OF capt.
tai to. see that there is violence in
case of a strike. 1t gives them a
chance to ask for martial law,
which gives them protection while
they exploit cheap labor. We still
have martial law in Sullivan
County and it is my opinion we
will have this as long as McNutt
is Governor.
Surely the man who labors
should have the right to work and
earn a wage scale that would al
low him to rear a family and pro-
vide them with anything that is
produced by labor.

GAMBLING is GOING
ON ITS MERRY WAY
BY Harry Mcintyre

BY Harry Mcintyre
What is the occasion for all the
highly publicized lid which is now
supposed to have been placed on
the local gambling establishments?
If the Chief of Police and the
Sheriff think that they have but
the lid on they surely have forgot
ten to clamp it down.
What is the difference if the
horse players sit in a barber shop
and bet the horses where the book
makers headquarters occupy the
back room or sit in the bookie joint
proper? What is the difference if
a craps game moves from its known
headquarters to a hotel two doors
south? The determined horse play
ers stand in front of bookie shop
and give bets to the runners. -
Gambling has not been stopped and
I am not convinced that a consci-
entious effort is being made to
stop it.

THERE is strong argument against an
Il advance mandatory munitions embargo,
but it is not neutrality argument-it is the
opposite. It is the legitimate argument of
those who want us to take sides in a foreign
conflict by frankly using our munitions power
against an aggreSsor. But this obviously is
apt TO lead us into sending the Army and
Navy eventually.
Some years ago-before Japan Germany
and others hao shattered the possible effec-
tivenesS of world peace machinery and joint
action against an aggreSSor-there was gam
bIers chance in such partisan action by the
United States. But with the present world
setup, probably most of us now feel that the
result of such American ENHANCEMENT ito
make the world safe for democracy would
only repeat the last disaster.
So it may be open to argument whether
the President should be left free to take sides
in war by banning munitions to only one
side. But in view of the clear record of ex-
perience it can not mean the reverse; it can
not be the road to neutrality.

neutrality. Anything done after The war be-

NEW YORK, September 2s-Al-
though somewhat reactionary, the
cotton market ruled within a COM
paratively narrow price range during
the week.
Nervousness over the European stu
alton seemed to be ubsiding and there
was some liquidation of contracts
bought on the recent advance, coupled
with an increased volume of hedging
Offerings were absorbed by the trade
on comparatively moderate setbacks,
however, and the demand developed
sufficiently to establish point of re-
sistance around the l0l2-cent level
for December contracts. That de-
livery closed at 10.45 yesterday, COM
pared with 1861 at the close of the

A renewal of wet weather in the

ther delays in picking and possible

comparatively little discussion of pro-
spective changes in estimates of the
crop.
