ANYHOW, we are not likely to have a "courtesy card” scandal during
the coming legislative session.
STRANGE, isn’t it, how little interest is being taken in the impending
fate of the Indiana primary law?
AS WAS EXPECTED, Prosecutor Adams’ bluff about a grand jury in
vestigation the last week of his term proved to be a bluff.
GOVERNOR GOODRICH refuses to outline his farewell message and
there is considerable speculation as to whether it is going to be a confes
sion or a eulogy. j
IT AFFORDS the Times no surprise but some satisfaction to note
that the administrators of the blue sky law have finally verified our de
claration that the law was faulty.
SURE, you can buy coal for less than Eschbach's prices, just as surely
as you could not buy it at his prices when the Goodrich administration at
tempted to coerce the coal men!
MUNCIE has not forgotten how to allow- prisoners to escape. The
recent example is no better nor worse than the escape of Jack Duffey, who
exposed the Indianapolis ring of auto thieves.
THE NUMBER of blind tiger operators who have been rearrested be
fore Judge Collins decided their appeals from the City Court, might be
taken as an indication either of continued operations by the bootleggers
or unnecessary apathy on the part of the judge, or both.
Where Does the Money Go?
Abandoning its pre-election camouflages involving juggled tax rates
and assessments, the State tax board has finally prepared a table showing
how much taxes were increased in 1920 over 1918.
The table discloses that in the various taxing units of Marion County
taxes were increased as high as 194 per cent.
In Center township, where the bulk of Indianapolis property is located,
the increase was 90 per cent.
Only a few weeks ago this same tax board made public a statement
to the effect that the State government was costing the taxpayers nothing,
the fees being sufficient to offset the expenses.
Yesterday Mayor Jewett made public the statement that the city gov
ernment had pursued a policy of rigid economy.
The taxpayers know that no great public Improvement has taken their
money. _
Where, then, has the increased tax revenue gone?
If the State has not required it, and the city has been rigidly economi
cal, then the only remaining avenue for the dissipation of the money is
the county government. •
And the county government is strangely silent.
Janitors or Swimming Pools?
Superintendent Lowry of the park board, discloses that suitable swim
ming pools for parks of Indianapolis will cost approximately 112,000 each.
The county records show that approximately SI,BOO a month is being
spent by the commission for janitor service at the Courthouse.
Common sense compels the recognition of the fact that of this SI,BOO
for janitor service fully SI,OOO is waste.
Therefore, it is apparent that the people of Indianapolis are being
deprived of one swimming pool each year through the mania of the com
missioners for the employment of negroes at the courthouse:
Taxpayers of Indianapolis are complaining against public improve
ment on the grounds that the tax rate is exorbitant.
Not a single one of these taxpayers has raised his voice in protest over
the expenditure of SI,BOO a month for courthouse janitors.
The negroes who are on the courthouse janitor pay roil do not work
at the courthouse. They form the agency through which a few political
bosses control the 20,000 negro plurality that keeps the gang of politicians
in control of the government of Marion County and the city of Indianapolis.
These politicians are not interested in swimming pools for the children
of Indianapolis.
They know the taxpayers of this city will not raise a "rumpus" if they
do not get swimming pools.
‘They also know that the politically necessary negroes wiil raise a
‘‘rumpus” if thsy do not get soft jobs.
It is sometimes a question which shows the most intelligence, the
negro politicians or the white taxpayers.
The negroes manipulate their franchise in such a manner that they
get what they want.
The white taxpayers pay so little attention to their franchise that they
cannot get swimming pools for their children.
Giving
It has just been announced after a very careful examination that the
penny is still the basic standard of giving to both the church and Sunday
. School, despite the fact that the aggregate wealth of the United States has
k increased ten times as much per capita. This is a serious disappointment
Baa it was hoped that one of the lessons of the war'would be to teach the
2* aerican people to be cheerful givers.
gpft There is the art of giving which blesses both the gives and the re-
and which does not impoverish the giver and it was hoped that
medium would be learned by the Americans and that one of the
HRta of the war would be the lesson of the blessedness of giving.
MrpW is surprising how many people never give anything in life, how few
UMare who can let go and feel the blessing of having given. The tend
jSffiSSof human nature is illustrated in a child holding on to every toy
arms can embrace. Men are but grown children.
gflaS'he shortsightedness of life is appalling. If the people in America
but give one-tenth of their income as the Scriptures suggest as
LjSfif'S, every institution in the land would be made great beyond expression.
good people of America would but unite in spreading the glad tidings
nt Christianity with half the zeal they united in the last war, soon the
’ whole world would be revolutionized.
An occasional philanthropist stands out as a bright example but as yet
the American people have to learn to cheerfully bestow their goods on the
■Door. When that lesson will be accomplished is indeed a problem.
Wnie Modern East
Great growth and blessings are coming to Palestine by the use of
| modern machinery taken there through the efforts of America, England
| and France. The average crop was increased 65 per cent last year. The
I 1 English piped water Into Jerusalem and thereby conferred an inestimable
boon upon the inhabitants. Better, however, than all else is an effort to
' establish a government based upon justice, by those nations who are also
placing modern labor-saving machinery there.
Abraham’s wells at Beersheba are now equipped with modern pump
ing machinery and are supplying water to the town. These wells date
back to the Book of Genesis end from time immemorial have been used
by Bedouins to water their flocks.
The fruits of the war will not have been lost if the East, so potential
in many regards, is awakened and If labor is regarded as honorable in
those countries.
The substitution of science for brute force 6eems crude enough in the
United States where it is felt a great development has been reached and
where machinery does much of the heavy work, but if life can be made
■tolerable for the poor in other lands through its use, great good has re
united from its introduction.
Machinery is the greatest constructive factor, although used in war ns
yw||iestructive agency. Back of this all is the spirit of recognizing and
the value of the life of the other man. In the East this has not
done as it should be, but the democracy of the West, aided by the
Hibor-saving machinery, is slowly forcing this idea throughout the world,
mechanical arts are becoming the greatest civilizing factors just
they wenAthe greatest destructive forces during the war.

is made up of a handful of islands —two
of them big enough to eount—and they
are but dots on tha broad expanse of the
Pacific, but today they occupy a strategic
position and their early story is inter

Fijians always have lived where they

Fiji of savage days was a handsome speci

intelligent, his well-developed body sur
mounted by an Immense head of hair
which still is the distinguishing mark of
his race. He wore no clothes and he
thrived.
CHAU ACTE Rl STIC

Not even tha American Indian am
passed the Fijian in keenness of sight,
sensitiveness to touch and smell and
power of hearing. Hut his outstanding
characteristic was cruelty. With him
cruelty wits a virtue, torture a science
and murder a fine art. His captives were
not always dead before rude knives were
severing arms or legs which at once went
into the cooking pot. Fishhooks were
fastened to the tongues of victims which
then were drawn out as far as possible
and cut off, roasted and eaten.
Life was neither valuable nor sacred
in cannibal days in Fiji. It was wasted
without a second thought. if anew

By Oavld Cor*.
"I wonder what would happen if it
rained." But you fee it never rained in
Candy Country, which was mighty
lucky.
'What do you wish?" asked a Choco
late Man, ns Pug*, knocked on Candy
Town rate, and then it swuns open,
and out marched a regiment of Lemon
Soldiers dressed In Union Khaki uni
forms.
"Oh, I'm Just a traveler." replied Puss
with a grin.
“Oh, I'm n traveler who goes
I'or miles and miles upon h! toes
But sometimes when I'm tired out
J hear a kind voice loudly shout,
'Come, ride with me upon my Goosel*
And other times it i* a Moose.
And then again a steed witli wings;
Or maybe some kind stranger brings
A ship that sails the ocean wide,
And so Instead of walk, 1 ride "
“Well, well, you are a poet," said the
Chocolate ilan. "Now you are the very
person we need to write little pretty
things on our roiynl peppermint
candies.”
And then he held out his chocolate
hand and drew Puss inside the gate,
and after that he locked it with a little
silver key.
“Conte with me to our Candy Factory,”
and lie ran down the street, which was
paved with little red brick candles, until
he came to a big Itoek Candy Build
ing.
"Look here,” sMd Fuss, who was all
out of breath with running, for that
Chocolate Man was the best athlete in
all Peppermint City, and It was all
Puss could do to keep up with him,
"1 said I was a traveler, riot a poet.
I wouldn't write poetry for anything. 1
want to see things, not dream about
them!"
“Dear me,” said the Chocolate Man,
and he let go the lolly pop door handle;
“I'm sorry. I thought you'd like to
stay here.”
“Don’t feci badly about it.” said Puss,
with a grin, and then lie shook hands
with the Chocolate Man and left Pepper
mint City to resume his Journey of ad

canoe was to be launched, fifteen or
twenty men became the rollers upon !
which it was skidded into the water. I
Laughter greeted the writhings of the
tortured victims as the edges of the boat
gashed and tore them to pieces. The |
bont launched, a club ended the suffer- i
ing of the ‘Toilers" and they were the :
principal items on the bill of fare at the j
foast which followed. When the canoe j
was ready to sail human blood must be
provided for washing" its docks. If It j
bore a chief of rank its arrival at its !
destination was the signal for the killing !
of a man for the ceremony of taking j
down the mast.
HOW TEMPLE
posts were: set.
When a chiefs houae or a temple was
being built the great posts which sup- j
ported It were placed la the holes dug
for them, three or four men compelled :
to crawl into the hole to hold the timber J
upright and the dirt shoveled In and j
tamped down ondop of them.
If a young chief arrived at the age
when he was to be initiated, the plat- !
form upon which he stood wns com
posed of the bodies of men slain for that
purpose.
But all of hia murderous lust was with
out the accompaniment of courage or
bravery. Mostly ha. clubbed his victims '
down from behind .Hie boasted of hi*
bravery but he displayed It against the
weak, the women and the children.
Treachery, ambush, feint and cunning
distinguished him in warfare. He never
indulged In hand-to-hand conflict where
the odds were even.
Ill* captives he sometimes flung upon
rad-hot stones to cook without killing
or even stunning them. He found de
light In seizing children by tha legs and
beating out their brains against stones,
then greedily gorging himself upon the
body. It was a crowning Insult to an j
enemy to gouge out the latter's eye and j
swallow it.
BLOOD TIES CCT
NO FIGI RE.
Mat even blood ties cut any figure
When a chief died his widows were
strangled, their own sons not hesitating
to pull the cords which killed them. A
woman would murder her baby because I
she didn't want to be bothered with H
on a journey. A man would kill his wife •
for no other reason than that he wanted
meat The old or 111 were dispatched ,
quickly. Exposure, hurlsl alive or h
strangling were resorted to. There were!'
other custom* that are so revolting that
they cannot be told In print.
.Many today living upon the Islands
have eoten of human flesh. In the |
Interior they still may resort to canni
balism occasionally, but they do not let
It become known. Apparently they
thought human flesh the best of food, and
they ate it because they liked It and
without being -actuated by any other
feeling than hunger.
That, briefly, is the story of the Fiji j
of other days. In another srtlcie you i
will read of the Fiji of today.
