Unreported Hold-ups
-T IS a startling fact, and, Trom another point of
X view, a sad commentary on tho morals of the com
munity, that numerous hold-ups are occurring in Mar
ion County without being reported to the police. This
was brought out clearly in the request of Captain of
Detectives Jerry Kinney that persons who have been
held up furnish descriptions of the hold-up men to the
police. He promises no questions will be asked.
There is no question that these hold-ups heve oc
curred. The police know these things, but they can t
prosecute without prosecuting witnesses. Persons held
up under embarrassing circumstances only in rare in
stances report the fact to the police.
With this condition existing, the police are handi
capped immeasurably. Their hands are tied. It is a
problem that must be solved, but the solution is far
from apparent There probably always will be auto
mobile parties, and as long as there are automobile par
ties there will be hold-up men who will take advantage
of the situation.
Twenty Years of Good Work
_ HIS week has brought with it a notable anniversary.
jL It is the twentieth anniversary of the double-barred
Red Cross, that emblem of the anti-tuberculosis associa
tion which has meant health and happiness to countless
thousands.
The association has been celebrating the anni
versary of its emblem. In this connection it is pointed
oat that since the organization has been In operation
in Marion County, some nine years, the death rate from
tuberculosis has been decreased nearly 60 per cent
Much of this decrease has undoubtedly been brought
s.bout through the efforts of the Marion County Tuber
culosis Association.
What enterprise could be more worthy than one
which saves human life? The Christmas seal cam
paign will soon be opened In behalf of the organization.
It certainly deserves the hearty support of the public.
Who Gets the Money?
XCHANGE of goods between nations is commerce,
K and that is the end and aim of the building up
of a merchant marine, which in turn should be the only
aim of a ship subsidy.
Great Britain is the best example of a great mer
chant marine. Her historical supremacy lay in the
ownership of vessels called “tramp ships.” They did
not run on regular routes, but sailed the seven seas,
keeping moving all the time, and picking up cargoes
wherever possible.
Normally, about one-half of the carrying power of j
British ships is employed in service between foreign;
ports, and wholly outside the United Kingdom. Only
about one-half of the entries on and clearances at
British ports are ships under the British flag.
The other half being taken care of by ships flying
foreign flags.
The Lasker ship subsidy bill would not give on©
penny of assistance or subsidy to any merchant ship
which thus traded between foreign ports, for the sub
sidy bill says subsidy shall not only be paid on mile-.
age on “a voyage of which one of the ports is a port of
the United States.”
Also, the shipping board may require that subsi
dized ships be run on regular lines. So the subsidy does
not go to “tramp ships” nor to ships that ply between
Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States. And
it goes only to such ship owners as the members of
the shipping board may elect.
Regular ccean liners —passenger ships as distin
guished from cargo ships—and the ships owned by
great shippers, such as Standard Oil and the Lnited
Fruit Company, would get the subsidy.
But the $30,000,000 annual subsidy that Mr. Hard
ing tells of is the lesser part. The owners of the sub
sidized ships do not pay income tax on the profits of
their ships. More than that. Standard Oil and the
United Fruit, etc., may deduct from their Federal taxes
5 per cent of the freight they pay themselves on their
own goods. Loaning $125,000,000 —as the subsidy bill
provides—to subsidize ship owners at 2 per cent will
cost the taxpayers an additional $2,500,000 a year be
cause the treasury pays 4 per cent when it borrows
the money and it will save the subsidized owners $6,-
000,000,000 as against the government loan rate of 6
per cent which farmers have to pay.
The subsidy is a “cost plus” arrangement, since the
subsidy runs until a vessel earns more than 10 per cent
profit over expenses.
In a word the subsidy bill is for the benefit of big
passenger liners and big trusts which ship their own
goods in ‘’ eir own ships. The $30,000,000 subsidy paid
out of the treasury is only a starter, to which is
added corporation, profits and income tax exemption
and 2 per cent loan of $125,000,000 out of Uncle Sam’s
cash box.
Marriage and Suicide
GET married and decrease the number of suicides in
your professions, is the advice of doctors and law
y3ars, by Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, nationally known.
“Suicide statistics always reveal that unmarried men
are more susceptible than married men," says Dr.
Knopf.
He’s right. Suicide usually results from self-pity—
thinking too much of one’s self. Less time for that when
you have to think about a family.
A Tip to Investors
THIS editorial is addressed to folks who have money
to invest.
Have you been invited to join the Jim Casey or the
John Smith oil pools whose gusher fields “are the best,
safest and quickest chance for fabulous wealth within
the reach of man?”
Maybe you’ve recently received an invitation through
the mails, but you have failed to grasp the idea con
veyed in the advertisements that these pools are “the
master-key which unlocks the secret chamber of suc
cess.”
Maybe you don’t appreciate the fact that John D.
Rockefeller has made a billion out of oil and is still
going strong?
The country is being flooded with salesmanship lit
erature painting the untold riches that still await in
vestors in “oil pools."
Before you send in your money, gentle reader, try
out the following “acid teat” that the writer of this
editorial followed the other day.
Answering one of these invitations he wrote the
chief promoter:
“First, give me the names of ten persons for whom
your schemes have made money in the past
“Second, furnish me a sworn statement showing how
much of your own money and that of your immediate
associates you have put in your enterprise.
"Third, furnish me statements from reputable bank
ers and business men that you have made your money
honestly, if you have made any.
“Fourth, if your ‘oil pool' is so -fabulously rich,’ why
don't you ask Standard Oil to help you develop it, in
stead of soliciting my poor $25 subscription?”
We wagered we would never hear from the oil pro
moter again.
We didn't
Letters to the Editor
LIFE RUINED BY WHIPPING.
To the Editor of The Times:
I can say the rod has spoiled my whole life, and I
car. say I had the most brutal beatings of any girl I
ever heard of.
I am now 22 years old, but I never will forgot I
have mother and father still living. They were very
strict but very cruel, I bate to say. They would beat
me at times unexpected, and I wondered what I had
done. Nobody knows what a torment it is unless they
have experienced it themselves. It drove me mad and
Into hysterics and convulsions, and when I was at th«?
hospital they wondered what was the matter with me.
I was then 15 years old. I then wondered, too, but now
I know. My nerves could not hold out any more, and I
experienced the worst nervous breakdown for a few
years, so that I thought I never would get well.
After I got out of the hospital I must say I was
worse than ever. When they would beat me I thought
I would go Insane. Many times I would pray to die,
locked in a room by my people all day long and noth
ing to eat. I would have Jumped from the window, but
1 might havd suffered more by doing so, and not die,
either.
I would nearly cry myself to death to think that ray
own father and mother could treat me so cruelly. I
always had some black and blue marks on me. Noth
ing would have suited me better than death.
I could stand it no longer and was driven away from
Lome when 15 years old. Nobody knows how I have
suffered. I only hope that other parents will not beat
their children into hysterics or fits so it will ruin their
lives, as I am considered one of the worst criminals
now, but will have to make the best of It, now. Had I
been treated kindly I could have been something, as I
always had ambition to be something, but now I aru
nothing only to be slandered about. M. F.
GIVE CHILDREN FREEDOM.
To the Editor of The Times:
I have reared a large family and I find that some
children are better to understand than others.
I find that whipping does no good, but the children
must know that they should mind.
All children should have a ( little freedom just as
grown people. What makes children disobedient is to
be always finding fault with them. H, R. B.

The Cause
. By BERTON BRAEEY
(The people have too much money.—Vice President Coolldge)
FOB years we’ve wondered what it was
That caused the troubles of thi* nation.
We’ve agitated, altered law#.
And done much deep investigation
To find the cause of various ills
With which the people were afflicted.
The source of these, however, till
Just recently was undepicted.
It took the mastodonic brain
Os Coolidre to reveal the reason.
And logically to explain
Why, season after dreary season.
We suffered from a lot of woes
Which made our temper* far from sunny!
“The cause.” says Coolidge, "I'll disclose.
The people ail have too much money I”
The foijta who fancied they were poor.
And fighting for mere food and shelter.
And clothes, were really on a tour
Os spending money, helter-skelter.
Yes we were getting overfat
From too much milk and too much honey.
So now we know where we are at:
The people all have too much money!
We laugh, but underneath our mirth.
Our anger rumbles, and we mutter.
“What is a mans opinion worth
Who has the fatuous nerve to utter
Such tragic nonsense?” Smile we majr.
But none the less it isn't funny
That any grown-up man should say.
"The people all have too much money I"

INTER DIES OF
SHOTGUN WOUND
i
Asa result of a gun-shot wound re
ceived a few days ago just as he was
starting on a hunting trip, Michael 1

Mayor Shank today appeared at
police headquarters and declared he

resulting from men driving automo
biles while under the influence of
liquor were becoming too frequent,
and that he would ask City Judge
Wilmeth not only to make the bonds
in such cases much higher, but also
to give a jail sentence to persons con
victed of driving an automobile while
under the Influence of liquor.

i cause a herd of dairy cows insisted
' upon making pastures out of the front
! yards of nine original residerts in 1876.
W. W. Lowry, who was attorney for
! the town board of Woodruff Place for
many years, told the story today as
follows:
"Woodruff Place occupies the half
j of a quarter section, eighty acres and
: was purchased by J. H. Woodruff from
i the late Col. Mose McClain and others,
j except eighty acres in the south-east
I corner which was owned by Dr. Com

ed in platting of the Place and this
was done in 1873. Mr. Woodruff ex
pended a large sum of money In
streets, sidewalks, sewers, fountains
and other betterments as this vicinity
experienced a great “boom” in reoal
estate at that time.
“Unfortunately for Woodruff, the
panic of 1873 came along and the
lots that he was expecting to sell
for from six to eight thousand dol
lars. wont to $3OO and a little above.
A foreclosure of a mortgage caused
Woodruff to lose Ills interests and
the lots sold very / >wly. A few per
sons bought and built, the first home
being built by Woodruff and it
stands at the south-east intersection
of the Wdbt and Cross drives and Is
occupied by Mrs. J. R. Hussey.

buildings, the present Odd Fellow
building, the Lemcke annex and the
laws, and he placed gates at the
street and alley openings. At that
time there was a dairy somewhere
east on Tenth St., then Clifford Ave.,
and the dairyman found the grass
just the thing for his stock and he
got into the habit of opening the
gates and pasturing his stock in the
place. A few houses had been built
and the occupants objected to the
cattle. The idea of incorporating was
broached and the nine votes had an
election and Incorporated, thus being
able to handle the running at large
of the cattle.
“At the time of Incorporating, the
city did not approach Woodruff and
there could not then be annexation.
Woodruff Place kept up the flowers,
fountains and other improvements,
and went its way: however, the city
grew to the east and in time sur
rounded' the place. It is not the fault
of the place that it was surrounded:
it was there first.
“The fear that the place would be
neglected if annexation took place has
caused the citizens to desire to keep
their own organization and not be
put to the expense of paying city
taxes and at the same time be com
pelled to beautify the place. The fact
