AMERICANISM DEFINED

THERE has been so much talk of Americanism,
Il and particularly by leaders of the American Le-
gon that the definition by Cyrus Leroy Baldridge of
the New York County American Legion is interest
Ing In his book "Americanism: What Is TIP" Gar
& RneharD he says:
THE true American it-'Americanism'-
expressed in determined and magnificent human
struggle to achieve Democracy Justice and Liberty
The fundamental aim of this struggle is to main
tain for all Americans the opportunity to enjoy the
abundance of nature and to acquire such products of
their cooperative labor essential to their e
liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Democracy means an equity of opportunity.
Justice the equality of all before the law.
Neither Democracy nor Justice is possible with
out Liberty. Liberty means opportunity for self
expression and self-development. 1t guarantees,
among other freedoms the freedom of religious wor
ship and-above all ese-freedom of speech Liberty
demands freedom of speech because without free
dom of speech there can be search for the truth
This search is vital to Americanism."

been allotted for IL electric projects Nine of the
alotments-to Albion Terre Haute Columbia CITY,
Crown Point, Goshen, Button Fort Wayne Decatur
and Rensselaer-are for additions to existing plants
Three allotments-two to Bloomington and one to
Connersville-are for institutional plants
Applications for PWA funds for construction of
municipal electric power plants were received from
larger number of cities but some of these were with
drawn because private utility companies reduced
their rates At hearings recently before a Senate
subcommittee on the Norris r. Neb) Mississippi
Valley Authority BILL O. w. Kellogg. an official of
the Public Service Corp. testified that private
power companies had effected rate reductions saw
ing customers $1,2S6,00Ooo0 since 1926 Reductions
amounting to about s11oOOOOO0 were made after
establishment of the IVA Mr. Kellogg said
ONCE the IVA, in disposing of its hydro-eectric
- power. is compelled by statute to give priority to
municipalities, co-operatives, and other non-profit
agencies, cities in the Muscle Shoals area have been
encouraged to apply for PWA funds to build CITY
power distribution plants
About 80 communities in the Tennessee Valley
have indicated desire to enter into power contracts
with the IVA Sixteen cities are already taking its
power and eight contracts have been signed with
other cities in the area Cincinnati officials con-
ferred with IVA directors recently on the matter of
obtaining IVA power for that city.

FACING THE FACTS

A overwhelming majority of Americans are not
afraid of facts
This cheerful news is contained in the results
of poll just made public by the American Institute
of Public Opinion.
The Institutes staff asked more than 100000 rep
resentative Americans from Maine to California
these two questions
l. Should schools teach the facts about all forms
of government, including Communism, Fascism and
SO forth2 The answer was: Yes, 81 per cent; no..
SO per cent.
2. Should college teachers be free to express
their views on all subjects, including government
and religion? The answer was Yes SO per cent
no, al per cent.
Apparently therefore, three out of every five of
us want our children to learn what is going on in
the living world today, to face their age without
either binders -colored glasses to see things
whether pleasant or unpleasant, that are going on
about them
Inc QUESTIONABLE not academic In the
schools OF the very national capital it is now neces-
Sary 1or teachers to swear each month that they
nave not taught anything concerning Communism
Under the so-called Blanton red rider" to the
District of Columbia appropriation teachers are
inundated into silence on the portentous fact of
what is going on in Russia, a nation of more than
$50 million people covering about one-sxth of the
worlds land surface.
That sort of head in the sand" compulsion re-
meets the historical .'red hunt" that has been
going on throughout the land characterized by
campus shopping and pampheteering of those pro-
teSsional patroteers who believe that there can be
safety only in ignorance and darkness; that Amer
leans are not strong enough to stand the realities
1t Is refreshing therefore, to see this poll and to
learn that apparently the big majority of Americans
want none of that thing which in it's suppressive
tendencies is SO much of a piece with fascsm

OBJECTS TO ROUTING
OF TROLLEY LINE
By George KIeinschmidt

By George Kleinschmidt
AS a resident of Minnesota-s be-
tween S. East and Ringgold-sts ]
wish to express my opposition to the
decision of the Board of Works and
Sanitation relative to re-routing the
Minnesota-St car line, to include
our street, which is only "a feet wide
and has been a one-way parking
street for years.
How in the name of common
sense do they figure on running a
trackless trolley on this narrow
street? We have very pretty street,
with nice homes, yet the street car
company is to install poles and wires
and create dangerous traffic haz-
ard.
We circulated a last-minute petit
ton, got 70 signers, of which only
three were in favor of the cars run
nlng on Minnesota-st between East
and Ringgold-sts. We presented this
petition to the Board of Works at its
meeting Friday, May 8. However. we
might just as well have thrown it in
the gutter for all the good it did.
After all, we are taxpayers and
voters, and are the ones that the
street car company must look to to
drop the nickels in the slot. We will
walk first. Besides, the Easiest or
Shelby-st car lines are not so far
away.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

MARRIAGE seems to diminish woman's fund
of common sense. She either refuses to see
anything good in her man she shuts her eyes
Stubbornly to the bad. Selfish women are too hard
on husbands devoted women are too easy.
Yet husbands merely people, 1t is unlikely
perfect one has existed Each has his virtues,
each must admit to faults.
When wife faces the grim fact that she is mar
ried to scoundrel man incapable of approaching
devotion, she is wasting the substance of her love
if she continues to adore him or to believe he will
develop some day into flreside Darby
good many women of this type, I find, do not
believe in divorce. Something deep within them
repudiates the thought. Sometimes they have
children too, and for this reason wish to keep the
home together.
This is a sensible decision, especially if the
children have reached adolescence But all the laws
of good tell us the wife should divorce such
man from her love. It is hard because we are all
prone to array our sweethearts in the garments of
idealism woven out of our affection and sometimes
We never see the real person beneath those gar
ments.
To watch while your idol turns to clay is a
dreadful experience but you must make yourself
look at the transformation; for occasionally when
devotion does not reform, indifference WILL Many
an erring has been brought to his senses late
in the day by wife who at last sees him for what
he is and can stiffen up her backbone with the
starch of independence.
Men talk against it, but most of them like spunk
in their women There's only one thing to be done
with persistently inconsiderate unfaithfu man
abandon him. You may continue to keep his house,
but don't let him keep your heart.

A NEW GAS

E1LI 'er up, sir? Righto. What kind?"
= We'll let me try the Chateau Yquem 1926 I get
better mileage with that high-test stuff than the
Chianti you sold me last time"
Sounds little screwy but maybe it's not SO far
fetched after all. A Commerce Department news
release says:
In its search for gasoline substitutes italy is
now looking to the wine CROP which was especially
heavy last year, another source for motor fuel.
according to report from Trade Commissioner
Humes Rome.
"A census of individual wine holdings is being
made with the view to ascertaining the amount
which will be available for conversion into alcohol
for use motor fuel, the report states"

an airplane.
Senator Coolidge Cd. Mass): Did he land in this
country in an airplane?
Senator Reynolds: He must have done so. ac-
cording to COL Mccormack tthe immigration
commissioner, because he painted so lily white
that he must have dropped out of the skies. never
thought OF that before. Col Mccormack painted
him so lily white perfumed like the lovely red red
rose in the springtime garden that could
not imagine the man slipping across the border. He
must have flown over here and dropped down in
parachute from the skies.

CALLS FOR FIGHT ON
CAR REROUTING
pU EVnkoIn-
By Fletcher E. Wa


Well, I see that it took the S
Meridian-st boys to do the trick.
I am referring to the meeting
held in Druids Hall by the South
Side Civic Club, at which members
went on record as boycotting the
indianapolis Railways, Inc, because
of their proposal to string lot OF
poles and wires along Minnesota ST
between East and Ringgold-sts, Sc
that they may be in a position to
install trackless trolley service in
re-routing the Minnesota-st car
line.
At a Board of Works meeting
after several residents had protest
ed and proper petitions were filed
with the board, the board members
granted the request of the street
car company to use Minnesota-St.
Understand, this is one-way
parking street and only "a feet
wide. Therefore, / say to my neigh
borS that the South Side Civic Club
by it's action has laid the gauntlet
at our doors and I appeal to you to
pick up this gauntlet and carry on
And remember, that the City
Council will pass upon this matter
in the near future, SO let's get on
Our toes and attend the council
meetings which are held every Sec
ond Monday at City Hall.
For years we who reside between
the Easiest car line and the Shelby
st car line have walked to either of
these lines, without complaint, and
we surely can continue to do so.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

TINE downward trend in the number of munich
pally owned power plants has been reversed.
Operations of two New Deal agences-PWA and
TVA-have given definite support to municipal own
ership of electric power utilities,
Comprehensive data on the exact position of
public compared with private power enterprise
in the last three years not available. 1t is
tain however that decline in the relative Importance
of municipality owned power plants, which began
about 1923, has been checked during the Roose-
welt Administration.
Census figures show the number of municipality
owned electric power establishments decreased from
1881 in 1922 to 219S in 1927 and to 1902 in 1882
study made last year by the FERA showed however,
that in 1884 the number of municipality owned plants
had increased to 1861 Since this figure did not in
clude plants then under construction with PwA
funds, the reversal of the previous trend would
probably be even more marked at the present time
Municipality owned electric plants outnumber
private plants by about 10 per cent, but the vast
majority of the former located in communities
of less than 1000 population The value of plant
and equipment of municipality owned establishments
in 1882 was only about s54O0oO0o0, as compared to
total private plant value of about $l2l25 900 OOO

TODAY'S SCIENCE
. By Science Seruice,

DEARBORN, Mich, May 49,
II The future welfare and safety
of the United States depends upon
increased support of industrial re-
search, DR.. Charles M. A. Slime,
vice president of E. I. du Pont de
Nemours & c., believes.
DR.. Slime, who is in charge of the
vast research activities of the du
Pont company, was one of the
speakers at the second annual
Dearborn Conference of Agricul-
ture, Industry and Science. The
conference, under the auspices of
the Farm Chemurgic Council and
the Chemical Foundation, was
called ito advance the industrial
use of American farm products
through applied science"
America lags behind the other
great powers IN giving substantial
public aid to scientific research, DR..
Slime said.
Throughout the civilized world,
nations are studying for self-sufh-
cheney on the one hand, and for
scientific supremacy Oh the other"
he said. 1.-The chemical industries
of Japan, Germany, Russia, France,
Italy and Great Britain have al
most an official status.
Research, especially chemical re-
search, is being pressed to the ut
most, not because chemistry is the
favored scientific child, but because
it is so all-encompassing that every
other branch of science would be
seriously retarded if chemistry
Jagged"
/ Even Russia, DR.. Slime continued,
has learned that progress is not
to be evoked through the pronun-
ciamentos of the most une challenged
dictatorship"
Russia" he said, has convinced
herself that a nation that sup
presses science in industry in this
modern world is lost"
Answering critics who have said
that present-day ills could be re-
duced by dropping scientific re-
search, DR.. Slime said, stop indus
trial research in America, or even
cripple and hamper it by laws that
would dry up its supporting funds,
and a world drive for the economic
conquest of this richest of all lands
would be under way Immediately.
