Tardy Justice
TEN persons charged with first degree murder
are confined in the county jail.
In addition there are hundreds of other cases
awaiting trial in the Criminal Court, the defend
ants in some of-which also are in jail.
1 he mill of justice in Marion County certainly
grinds slowly. Is there any good reason?
Profit in Guns
AN INDIANAPOLIS boy owned a .22-caliber
pistol about half the length of your hand.
This week he told twelve citizens of the
county in the Criminal Court that he shot another
boy in self-defense. Neighbors s;dd so, too.
The other boy didn’t deny the statement. He
was in the graveyard.
Today the killer is in the State reformatory
starting a term of two to fourteen years.
Both would be producers of wealth if some
one had not been allowed to manufacture and sell
the little gun. The State would have been saved
the expense of a conviction.
A man with a gun who is afraid to use it gets
in serious trouble if he pulls it. If he does use
it he gets into worse.
A law against the manufacture and sale of
the “one-handed” gun is needed to cheek our
mounting list of killings.
Paying Pigs .
BOVS and girls of the Hoosier rural districts
found it profitable to remain on the farm
this summer rather than seek employment in
towns and cities.
According to information gathered by the
State board of agriculture through banks and
county agricultural agents, the savings of the
average boy and girl of Indiana’s rural districts,
more than doubled that of the average hoy or
girl in the city. This was brought about through
scientific methods of pig clubs and agriculture
shows which promoted the interest of the farm
boy and girl in educating themselves to the higher
standard of farming and stock raising
Demon’s Speed
M N AIRPLANE with a speed of 500 miles an
x'Vhour will be developed “within a compara
tively short time.” So predicts Brig. Gen. Wil
liam Mitchell, assistant ehief of the army air
service.
Then, says Mitchell, a business man will be
able to leave New York City early in the morn
ing. fly to England, have lunch, transact business,
and return home before dark.
Fast planes in another generation or two
will be as common as autos are today, and inter
esting problems will arise. In flying at terrific
speed, such as 500 miles an hour, the ehief prob
lem would be supplying air to passengers and
crew.
Mitchell tells of experiments, being con
ducted by the army, using oxygen tanks to fur-

Q. —What is the cause of the war
going on between the Greeks and
Turks?
A.—The war is not a recent one,
n fact, in one phase or another, it
has been going- on since ancient times.
Greece has been attempting for a
long time to reclaim her ancient ter
ritory and regain her former potver.
Turkey has attempted to prevent this
as they are rivals for the same sec
tions of country. Before the World
War. Germany, through trade and po
litical Influence, more or less dom
inated Turkey, and therefore Tur
key went in on the side of Germany.
After the World War the sentiment
was strong against the Turks and
there was an attempt so take away
everything they possessed in Europe.
The treaty of Sevres, which was
signed by the old and tottering gov
ernment of the Turks, was never
agreed to by the Turkish National
ist ■'party, which was becoming pow
erful. The Nationalists are now
fighting for the territory which would
have been lost in this war, and the
present armistice agreement restores
Thrace to them.
Q. —What was the fastest 3-year
old pacing colt in 1921? The fastest
gelding?
A. —The fastest pacing colt was
Peter Hanley, time, 2:08*4; fastest
gelding Robert Direct, 2:07.
Q. —What brought about the Swed
ish settlement in Delaware, near
Wilmington?
A. —One Peter Minuit offered his
services to the government of Swed
en. Through the influence of Ox
enstiem, then chancellor, a Swedish
West India Company was organized
and Minuit was commissioned to es
tablish a Swedish colony in America.
Q. —In writing a letter to King
George of England, how should the
envelope be addressed?
A. —As follows: “To His Most
Gracious Majesty King George.”
Q. —What does soviet mean?
A.—lt means simply “a council.” j
The soviet government is a govern
nish air for the people in an air-tight cabin of
the flying craft.
The frontiers of countries then will virtually
disappear. Prohibition or most other attempts
to regulate individuals’ conduct will be futile,
unless the laws apply all over the world. What
will be the good of drastic law, applying only in
one country, when men will be able to evade it by
flying to another country in a few minutes or
hours ?
The airplane will steadily lessen the effec
tiveness of many laws within any given country,
and international laws will become the most im
portant statutes in the world.
Phone Rates
WE ARE repeatedly informed that the Indi
ana Bell Telephone Company is unable to
make any money on its presort rates and that an
increase is due it if the “Wall Street stockholders
are to receive tiie customary G per cent on their
investment.”
What we are beginning to wonder about is
whether the Wall Street shareholders know,
much less care, anything about our service.
We know a man who has been trying for
two weeks to get a phone connected when the
phone is already installed in the house. If busi
ness is so poor, how does it happen that the com
pany can not find time to send someone to make
the connection?
If a factory can not make money when
placed on a production basis there is not much
hope for it and if the telephone company can not
make money when its service department is run
ning to full capacity there is very little hope
left it.
Is this overwork or just negligence that
causes all the delay?
Labor’s Leisure
TIIE greatest engineering body in America
condemns the twelve-hour workday in
steel and other industries. This is a great com
pliment to the wisdom of the labor unions, and it
comes from the highest outside source.
We are going to the eight-hour day, soon.
And the thing for labor to do is to study the prob
lem of what to do with this new leisure. It is a
vital problem. ' So far. millions of our laboring
men have not solved it in any way compatible
with their own or the Nation’s or labor's real
welfare.
And the proper use of that time might mean
much to a staggering world.
Keep ’Em at Home
THERE are three times as many high school
football teams in Indiana this season as in
1921. This means the gridiron sport is becoming
more popular among spectators and players.
More high school teams mean that more good
players will he developed and these athletes, if
they go to colleges in Indiana, will giye the
coaches material from which to build teams that
will defeat the college elevens of other States.
Athletes in Indiana high schools sl.oul 1 ne
encouraged to go to college in this State and
not to give their strength in athletics to institu
tions elsewhere.

Such councils, or local soviets, form
the ground work of the government,
and from them delegates are elected
to councils or soviets representing

Moscow is made of delegates In turn

Q. —How much is a billion dollars?

a billion is one thousand millions, and
in England a billion is one million

THE PROBLEM
Hi bertos hr^ley
GILLETTE and Durham-fiupl'oc, Gem.
And Erer-Readv, all are fine;
We slip their meed of praise to them.
They work according to desißii.
They shave the young, they shave the old.
They mow thick beards of many
shades:
But here's the thing we would be told.
Where are we gonna put the blades:
NOT in the ash-Can" may they. go. .
Nor in the garbage nor the street.
Where motors ramble to and fro.
And people tread with hurrying feet;
They will not burn, they won’t decay
Until the sun in heaven fades,
And so they pile up day by day:
Say. where we gonna put the blades?
YOU cannot keep them safely hid
In any chest, on any self.
But what some energetic kid
Will find them there and cut himself.
Dropped in the sea. the surging tide
Bears them where some blithe bather
wades:
The world, it’s true, is very wide.
But where we gonna put those
blades?
OH. Einstein, use your master-mind.
Ca’l in your scholars and your aids.
And solve this problem of our kind.
Where shall we put our razor blades?

Issue Over True Spiritual Ruler
of Zion City Is in Circuit
Court.
By United .Vries
WAUKEGAN, 111., Oct. 26.—Wheth
er Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva of
the neighboring “holy city” of Zion
did or did not call the Rev. Thomas
|H. Nelson, his rival prophet, “a
| brazen-faced old tom cat, a hypocrit
| ical hippopotamus and a down-and out,
thoroughly discredited windbag,” and
I if so, were his words libelous, was a
! question growing out of Zion’s "re
ligious war” put up to the Circuit
j Court here Wednesday.
| The Reverend Nelson, who went to
j Zion City from Indianapolis, is the
pastor of Grace Missionary Church
in Zion City, and has been engaged
in a feud with Voliva ever since he re
signed as an elder of Voliva’s church,
intending to leave him as flat as Vo
j liva’s conception of the earth. Hear
| ing of the $lOO,OOO libel suit brought
j by Nelson against Voliva is - the latest
development.
Voliva followers hope the court’s de
cision will establish the overseer as
j unquestionably the only true prophet
In Zion, while the Grace Church con
gregation trusts the court will award
| sufficient damages to pay for -a pipe
