TRY NEW PLAN
TO FEED EUROPE
"Food Drafts” Being Sold by
Two Indianapolis Banks.
Hungry relatives in Europe now may
be afforded immediate relief by Indian
apolis residents through anew system
of “food drafts" issued by the merchants
National bank and the Indiana Trust
Company.
The new plan projected by the Ameri
can relief administration, headed by Her
bert Hoover, provides for the issuance
of drafts, payable in European cities, in
food supplies.
Should a German-born American wish
to help a German cousin get a good
Sunday dinner, all he needs to do is to
purchase a "food draft” from the In
dianapolis banks and, without further
worry, the bank officials will make out
the proper draft, notify the New York
office, and the draft will be payable in
a number of European cities.
Stocks of food will be carried by the
American relief administration in Ham
burg, 'Varsajv, Vienna, Prague and Buda
pest. Supplies Include flour, bacon, beans,
corned beef, lard, vegetables, oils, con
densed and evaporated milk.
This new plan has been approved by
the American Bankers’ association, ac
cording to a circular letter mailed to the
Merchants National bank.
Surplus funds of the relief administra
tion will be used in behalf of the Euro
pean children's fund.

Coolidge Has But One Creed
“WHO’LL RUN FOR PRESIDEN’’—No. 10
‘Law and Order’ His Slogan
A LAWAA/L> Q?D£f? 4 SSUL~
GOV. CALVIN COOLIDGE.
By H. F. BURTON,
Special Correspondent of The Times.
BOSTON, Jan. 24. —lt was through no
casual play of chance that Calvin
Coolidgs, governor of Massachusetts, ut
tered those words that broke the back
of the famous Boston police strike
"there is no right to strike against
public safety by anybody, anywhere,
anytime.” Those words clanged through
the nation and have caused him to be
made one of the candidates for the presi
dency of the United States.
These words typify tli'e original spirit
of Puritan America. Undoubtedly Calvin
Coolidge possesses more of the authentic
flavor of the Pilgrim character than any
man standing before the people today.
TRACES BACK
TO 1630.
To understand Calvin Coolidge, and
the slogan that has made blni famous,
one must know that his forbears came
to America in 1630, and that his blood
is the blood of the men who could not
permit dissension in their own ranks, if
they were going to preserve themselves
against the Indians.
Calvin Coolidge is a typical downcast
Yankee, with u silent manner, a face
that betrays nothing and a voice that
rasps like the Vermont wind. In a crisis
one would think that he had never
learned to smile, and reporters that
"did” the Boston police strike said ns
much; yet In. an hour's conversation with
me, he told many Jokes, some of them
on himself, and bis laughter was fairly
constant.
If Coolidge make* a run for the presi
dency It will be upon that creed of the
Pilgrims, “law and order.” Ail Inter
pretation of this battle cry from the
Ups of the man who framed and uttered
It Is of great Interest to the country;
anil I asked Calvin Coolidge to expand
his Ideas on thlg subject.
BVTTLK CRY
FOR NATION.
“This Is Indeed a battle cry for the
nation, as I see it,” he said. “The
issue of law and order involves the very
life of this nation today, for upon the
maintenance of law and order depends
the preservation of onr American insti
tutions as we inherit them from the
constitution —the preservation, In short,
of our republican form of government.
The problem -before us is to see to it
that we keep the authority of the gov
ernment where the constitution and the
Packing Plant Fire
Causes $2,000 Loss
Firemen today estimated at $2,000 the
loss which was caused by a fire that
started in the hair drying department of
the Armour & Co.’s packing plant, Ray
and Dakota streets, last night.
The building is a one-story structure
with a roof of corrugated iron. The fire
bad made considerable headway before
it was discovered and the firemen bad i
considerable difficulty in extinguishing j
the flames.

Made by Postum Cereal Cos. Dottle Creek,Mich-
laws have - placed it; in the hands of
our duly elected officers.
“Class rule, by any clique, high or
low, capitalist or proletariat, is simply
bolshevism.
“\Vc must face the fate that there is
today and always a menace to our in
herited institutions, from the constant
influx of foreign population and also
from our own new generation coming
on. Each of these elements, if Ameri
canism, as we know it, is to be pre
served, must needs be educated in
Americanism. Our boys and girls can’t
be expected to just naturally absorb
Americanism —they have to be taught it
as they have to be taught their multipli
cation tables.
"But let us not, under the guise of
law and order, and under the theory of
preserving our Institutions, understand
that vve are to stand still —not to
progress and improve our mode of gov
ernment, Preserving our institutions cer
tainly means keeping them, but keeping
them in step with the time.
“A lack of law and order and respect
for our institutions means, in cold fact,
tile smashing of everything we have
built up; our civilization, upon which
progress depends.
“If our Institutions are broken down
that Is reaction; that Is going back:
that i a return to the first- chaos, to
despotism or anarchy, the cessation of
all the law and order that centuries of
mankind has striven to formulate and
put Into operation.
“Let us understand clearly that this
Is what this Dsue means and then we
will see it ns the most Important Issue
in the world todny. Upon it depends
whether we are to live as civilized hu
man beings or revert, to a of bar
barity.”
And there you have it—the full circle
of the mind of Calvin Coolidge, tind
you see that the man who enunciated
for the country aphorism of Lincoln
ian brevity and Lincolnian lucidity did
not just happen without warning upon
this high moment like a figure in i
drama, suddenly coming to anew power;
but, Instead, only spoke In a crisis what
his blood and training had trained him
to speak.
Calvin Coolidge is no man of on-*
phrase; he is u man of one creed, a
creed absorbed from the granlted earth j
of New England, a creed stern nnd j
strong but filled with a passion for the
right, the strict sense of right as it Is
given to few creeds to hold.
Motor Truck Tax
Test Before Court
Judge Walter Pritchard of the city
court today had under advisement a mo

F. Frye be quashed. This case is in
the nature of a test case on part of coun
sel to try out tlie validity of the Indiana
tax law, which provides for the taxing
of motor trucks. Counsel for Frye con
tended in argument before the court that
the law was unconstitutional and that it
is discriminatory in that it does not
apply to all classes of vehicles.
CANADA PAPER
FIGHT STILL ON
New Suspension of News
papers Expected Next Week.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Jan. 24.—A se
rious situation, which may be taken up
internationally, was evident here today
In the troubles between Manitoba and
Saskatchewan newspapers and the Ft.
Frances paper mills, an American-owned
concern.
Three Winnipeg newspapers have man
aged to resume publication with a four
days’ supply of news print, following
a weed's suspension during which all
the newspapers in the two provinces
had been forced to suspend. It is be
lieved that another suspension is inevi
table next week.
The troubles grew out of a refusal of
the paper mills to furnish news print
to the papers. The four days supply
granted by rhe mills was given only
under stipulation that ail back accounts
be paid and the present delivery paid
for in cash. Only one paper was able
to meet the terms, but It split its supply
with two others.
There was great rejoicing on the part
of the public at the resumption.
“It is now thirteen days since the
Canadian flag was hauled down from Ft
Frances (Ontario), and the house flag
of Backus & Cos., of Internationa! Falls
(Minn.), run up in Its stead,” said one
paper todny. “It remains to be seen what
the Canadian government will do about
It.”

PRISONERS IN
INDIANA JAILS
AT LOW MARK
Only 456 Persons Locked Up on
Sept. 30,1919, Says Chari
ties Board.
DRY LAW IS CREDITED
The population of jails in Indiana to
the smallest in the twenty years the state
board of charities has been gathering
jail statistics, according to a report
made public by the board today. Pro
hibition is given as the principal reason
for the decrease.
There were only 456 inmates of Jail*
in Indiana on Sept. 30, 1919, according to
the report. On the same day of 1918
there were 510 prisoners. For twelve
years immediately preceding 1918 the
population never was below 1,000 and In
1914 it reached 1,459.
"Os the 456 now present, 402 are men
and boys, fifty-four are women and girlg,"
the report says. "Os the men and boys,
222 are awaiting trial, ninety-eight are
serving sentences, thirty-two are insane
held for safe-keeping, fifty are held for
various other reasons.
“Os the fifty-four women and girls,
fifteen are awaiting trial, thirteen ore
serving sentences, seventeen are insane
and nine are held for various other rea
sons. Counting both males and females,
237 are awaiting trial, 111 are serving
sentence, forty-nine are insane and fifty
nine are held for miscellaneous reasons.
“Thirty-four jails were empty Sept. 30,
1919. Six others would have been empty
but for the presence of insane persons
or of convicted law breakers who ought
to have been in the state institutions.
Sixteen Jails had but one inmate, seven
had two inmates each, seven had three
each, four had four each. There were
thirteen which had from five to ten
each, and eleven which had more than
ten. These eleven were as follows: Hen
ry and Howard counties, each, 11; La
porte, 13: Madison, 14; St. Joseph, 16;
Wayne, IS; Allen, 26; Vigo, 27; Vander
bmg, 29; Lake. 56, and Marion. 81. These
eleven counties, together had 301 jail
inmates—two-thirds of the number in the
entire state.
“The whole number of persons admitted
to the jails during the year which ended
Sept. 30, 1919, was 21,476—19.400 men and
boys, 2.016 women and girls. Os this
number, 3.555 served sentence. 1.056 were
insane, held for safe keeping, and 806
were tramps. The remaining 16,059 in
cludes those who were discharged after
trial, or who had been held as wit
nesses, or who were convicted and sent
to one of the state penal or correctional
institntions.”
The number of prisoners at the state
farm is half that of previous years, ac
cording to the report. On Sept. 30 of
last year It was only 314, as compared
with 636 in 1917. In the correctional de
partment of the woman’s prison a like
reduction in the number of prisoners is
noted.
“There were in the jails during 1 the
year 1,916 tramps and vagrants and 3,598
persons committed for drunkenness, a
total of 5,514 for these two classes,” the
report continues. “They have always com
posed a large proportion of jail inmates,
but the percentage Is decreasing. Usually
close to 50 per cent, it fell last year to
34.5 per cent, this year to 25.6 per cent.
“The number of insane cared for In
the jails from year to year remains about
the same. There were 1,056 during the
fiscal year just closed and 961„ 1,022, 959
and 920, respectively, during each of the
four preceding years. While the number
present any one day is never large, as
numbers go, it is a disgrace to the state
that an insane person should ever be so
confined.”
