FRIDAY. DECEMBER 90 1855,
FOR THE INDIANA FARMER
a scRlrPs- HOWARD NEWSPAPER

ELECTRIC household equipment for rural homes
OF Indiana, sold easy ong-te credit with
FEDERAL backing, would be long step toward i'm
proving country life. That and extension of power
lines through more farming areas compose a pro-
gram, described in yesterdays Times which de-
serves public approval
Indiana is noted for its excellent state and coun-
ty roads. The farmer has been taken out of the
mud He can transport what he raises more easily
than can farmers in many other states But the
farmer and his wife, in many instances still are
living in the nineteenth century so far as the me-
chanics Of farming and keeping house are concerned
This is because they lack electricity
If this new Federal plan goes through rural resi-
dents soon will have refrigeration, which they now
lack. They will be able to do away with oil lamps
They can run farm machinery without much of the
present hard hand labor The possibilities are al
most limitless.
For the manufacturer of electrical equipment this
plan opens market which has seemed permanently
closed We hope the formalities may be cleared away
soon so that the work of extending power and SELL
ing equipment may begin.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

T is the season for buying Christmas seals; with
them we not only brighten up our parcels but
help to stamp out tuberculosis.
1t is the season, therefore, when woman's moral
responsibility in this crusade must be mentioned
For make mistake about it; we have done more to
encourage the spread of the disease than all the seals
We are able to buy will remedy
The cult of dieting has been one of the best
friends tuberculosis ever had.
Six months ago I was in a ready-to-wear shop
where friend works. The buyer for the establish
rnent, woman in the middle forties, was the sub
ject of buzz of feminine conversation. She had
lost pounds, simply pounds, and Isn't it wonderful
that Frances could actually wear size IA now" and
Doesn't she look swell?"
Frances herself explained how wonderful it was
and how it had been done. i've never cared for
breakfast she said For lunch have bowl of
pale soup and then at dinner blow myself to chops
and big fruit salad or something of the kind. I
never felt better in my life it's such relief to get
rid of the excess poundage"
There was pinched look in Frances face, how
ever. that BODIED no good, and today she is in an
Arizona sanatorium. Nobody knows whether she will
come back alive.
Plain foo!ishness put her there-the foolshness
which has been disseminated for years. and which
lS-year-od and good health in the bargain The two
things utterly incompatible.
Right now, because of such examples, thousands
Of girls dying and thousands of others doomed
TO go haltingly through life with health permanently
injured. They never be satisfactory wives nor
strong mothers. nor efficient workers at any job

DERHAPS it was sort of sardonc sense of the
fate which awaits his own presidential candidacy
among the Grand Lamas of the G. O. P that moved
Senator Borah to offer this gem in his recent radio
address:
I'VE are approaching an event the most notable
i'll the affairs of the republic 1t has been we'll and
beautifully said that there is no finer spectacle
which free government presents to the world than
that of a free people voluntarily choosing one of
their own number chief magistrate"
Recalling the Smoke filled hotel room" of the
Chicago Republican convention in 1920 we feel
that the Idaho liberal must have had his
tongue in cheek.

BAIT FOR SUCKERS

MANY funny things will happen before the presi-
Ava dental election campaign is over, but it is
doubtful whether there will be anything tunnier or
phonier than the two-man Democratic rebellion
started by Gov. Tamadge of Georgia and John
Henry Kirby of Houston.
If had the names of those who are financing
this political sdeshow would publish them as the
prize sucker list of the year But sight unseen it's
safe guess that these financial hackers have more
hatred than political savvy, and more money than
they know how to handle
The stock in trade which these two political adj
venturers apparently have marketed is their alleged
nuisance value to the anti-Roosevet cause They
claim to be about to start revolt among the
"Jefersonan Democrats" of the South with the pur-
pose of capturing enough Democratic convention
delegates to block Roosevelts denomination. Short
of that apparently the alleged play Is to split the
Democratic Party sufficiently to enable Mr. Roose-
velts Republican opponent to win the general cleo
ton.
Any one who knows anything about politics should
know that they will get exactly nowhere. Instead of
becoming formidable presidential candidate, Gov.
Talmadge will be lucky if he gets to the con-
vention as delegate. His own state of Georgia
according to the current Literary Digest poll, is
for for the New Deal.
AS for John Henry Kirby, it is doubtful whether
he control single precinct, either in Houston
or elsewhere But while Mr. Kirby's political influ-
ence may be nil, his capacity as money raiser is
not to be sncezed at. And hot air is the thing he
sells best AS a high tariff and low tax lobbyist
ISOLATED with j. A. Arnold another genius at shaking
down fat cats, Mr.. Kirby few years ago helped
raise a slush fund of $860,574. A Senate lobby
committee tried diligently, but failed to find that
the sArnold-K Kirby team ever did much of anything
to earn the money.

AN ECHO

A FEW days ago the National Association OF
Manufacturers Numbered a curse upon the New
Deal and all its works and promised that the
american System" could for all the jobless in
the good old-fashoned way.
For those who still consider the N. A. M prophet
with honor in the land, we republish the words OF
its general counsel and guiding spirit, James A.
Emery uttered in october 1929, on the very eve OF
the Great Collapse:
Detached students of the American scene, he
chirped then unite in declaring our progress due to
a national sense of freedom and security Every
highway of progress open to talent and character
THE fruits of effort are and the individual
ends his liberty protected against the arbitrary in
reference of strangers and his rights and property
secured by the national and local administration of
Justice"

CLAIMS UNFAIR DEAL
FOR RELIEF WORKERS

BY E'Clalre
Thanksgiving is over and many
relief workers had little or nothing
to eat, due to our local office hold
ing checks until Friday. This was
all due to the refusal Of the chief
time clerk to cooperate. Checks
were in our local Office, 10 S. Merid-
ian-st, Tuesday morning, Nov. g.
Men needed their money to have a
decent dinner and the lack of SYM
pathy for them by our local office
almost caused unnecessary trouble.
Now, after making the men and
families suffer and want food for
Thanksgiving, they have the crust
to come along and spoil their
Christmas. Men, for protesting
against the unjust treatment, are
being discharged from relief work.
If relief workers have any back
bone or Americanism they will pro-
test this action against our buddies
and, if necessary, refuse to work
until they are placed again on their
same jobs.
Now, Mr.. Hill, and others it may
concern, what action will be neces-
sary for square deal?

OTHER OPINION
The Canadian Treaty
IRushville Republican,

If the AAA decides we have too
many cattle and they should be
slaughtered and then it turns out
we haven't enough cattle of our own,
it will be comparatively easy to i'm
port 'em from Canada under the
new arrangements.
Not only will we be importing
livestock, but we shall be getting
dairy products, too. This will make
it unnecessary for the farmers of the
United States to produce as much
butter and cheese as formerly. Then
they can pay more attention to tap
dancing, animal training and other
phases of the more abundant life.
There is nothing like wise paternal
government to figure these things
out for us.

AGREES WITH M'NUTT ON
COUNTY UNIT IDEA

By Will H. Craig
1t is we'll known I am not of Gov.
McNutt's party and don't agree with
him on his policies. But\I do
stand pat" with him on his theory
to abolish townships and establish
the county unit and cut out some
officials and functions of county
and city government. This is not a
new fad" with me, as I have been
advocating such reforms for 25
years. The Governor gave the
merged" bunch of officials a black
eye when he said that: ANY move
ment for retention of political jobs
won't find much favor with the
public"
What spectacle to see 1000 town
ship and county officials merging
into a great lobby to protect their
jobs and rob the taxpayer. Did they
not beg and promise the voters that
they would make efficient and eco
nomical officials if elected? Where
is one in all Indiana that raises his
hands in the interest of economy =?
An appropriate name for the new
organization would be Township
and County Exploiting Organiza-

ing for the public welfare and not
his political job? How many paid
their own personal expenses instead
of charging same to expenses of
of1ce-a grab on the taxpayers?
The wild and woolly try to blind the
people by crying out against cen
tralization" at Indianapolis. Moth
ing is farther from the truth. I be-
lieve in home rule, but throwing
out of Office 1915 township trustees,
most of when don't put in so days
year, and substituting 276 high
minded men to serve as county trus-
tees of schools doesn't destroy the
home rule.
In Florida the best men serve as
trustees, without salary, and the
county system covers the big cities.
In Grange County with $4,000 popu-
lation the expenses of the three
trustees are only s257. Here is a
sample of an average township in

child, had been educated beyond
the ignorance of her neighbors and
that alone was sufficient to con-
denim her in their eyes. To be able
to read and write, to wear civilized
clothes and to stay out at a party
past 8 o'clock were crimes in their
eyes. But for her drunken father
to beat her was his religious duty.
To resist, even though she was of
age and legally beyond parental re-
straint, was a crime. The ignorant
religion-crazed hill-billy jury found
her guilty of deliberate, cold
blooded murder, when she had de-
Tended herself from her brutal
father with slipper Her own tes-
tlmony, and that of her sister cor
roboratlng every word of it, should
have set her free, but she was con-
victed in the feeble minds of that
jury before the evidence was heard.
This young woman was not given
her legal right to a trial by a jury
of her peers. Had the jury had
one-half her intelligence she would
have been exonerated from all
blame.
If the Governor of Virginia has
better sense he will see that this
woman is pardoned or has a fair
trial before jury of intelligent
people. Even if she is set free, it is
probable that she will have to leave
that locality, for her religious
neighbors probably would murder
her if she were to remain there.
Every friend of justice should
write to the Governor of Virginia
demanding his intercession to save
this innocent woman from Is years
imprisonment.
