The Cost of Loafing "Loafing on unearned money is an economic crime. declares the American Exchange National Bank of New York in a tirade directed against long-haired individuals who spend their time in cellar tearooms discussing art The bank is absolutely right, but it didn't go far enough It should also add that working at a job that is not necessary, that produces noth ing, is Just as much of a crime That bank and every taxpayer in the Nation, and even persons who are not paying taxes directly, are supporting an army of persons who are not exactly loafing on unearned money, but who are doing things that give nothing in return for the money they receive The reference is to the army of Government employes who are living on money earned by pro ducers A situation exists not only in Washington, but‘in nearly every State ] and civil government in the country that is nothing short of a crime. Men and women drawing fair salaries are put at work doing things that are duplications of something someone else is doing or that are absolutely unnecessary to the welfare of the people who are paying their salaries. These persons are just as much parasites as those who faii to have their ; bair cut and sit in basements idly discussing subjects that are over their beads. In fact, they are worse, for the tea drinking loafers are not hurt ing any one in particular, while the useless public employes are obtaining under false pretenses money which is needed to advance commerce and to provide necessities for individuals. Some day a President or a Governor may call a special session of Congress or of a Legislature for the express purpose of lopping from the pay rolls all the useless employes and departments. That President or Governor will call down on himself the perpetual enmity of his political organization and the perpetual friendship of the public in general. The choice between these two results is made by every executive. Heretofore most of them have chosen to retain the friendship of politicians who are daily sapping the public resources. Why Not Be Calm? It is unfortunate that at the close of a municipal election in which there was exhibited a great deal of unnecessary rancor, there should be another fight precipitated in which bitterness should transcend reason and sentiment overcome logic. Particularly is this true because the present fight over the proposed plaza in connection with the w ar memorial is really an unnecessary squab ble between factions who are fundamentally together and separating only through lack of understanding. As we have said before, Indiana Is to have a war memorial. There is, indeed, no opposition whatever to that project. Whether the war memorial is to have a setting of two blocks of very valuable .land in addition to the two blocks already provided for that pur pose remains to be seen. Present indications are that it will have. The question over which a large number of persons are now getting . wildly excited is whether the purchase of these two blocks is to be made by the Jewett administration or is to be allowed to take its natural course and reach its consummation logically, in the next administration. It really is not at all necessary that there be any further action on this project this year. Nor will the erection of a war memorial be hastened in the least by any action that may be taken now. This business of arraying neighbor against neighbor over this plaza project does not originate in response to a desire to "save the war me morial” any more than a recent movement originated in response to a desire to “save Indianapolis.” It is a manifestation of overenthusiasm, carefully exploited by persons with an ax to grind. No one, no matter how-thoroughly in accord with the memorial and plaza project, should become excited. Women's Suffrage in France When Premier Briand of France returns to his native country he in tends to tell the French how well “votes for women*’ seems to be working In America and that American women are not losing anything since they have been given the political rights of men. Indeed, he was one of the first in France to advocate women’s suffrage. How different from America and England where the women themselves had to fight for the ballot! With so great a man as Premier Briand advocating suffrage we believe that it will be an easy matter for the French women to receive their politi cal rights, once they make up their minds that they are ready for suffrage. In olden times a woman usually knew nothing about business. Every thing along this line was left to the husband, or if she was unmarried, then to some male relative, friend or attorney. If this “guardian” died suddenly she was utterly at sea and a helpless prey for swindlers. Now most women are learning the essentials of business so they will be .able to look after affairs of this nature if called upon to do so. Likewise, all political matters heretofore have been the responsibility of the “head of the house,” but the world is learning that some problems require a woman’s viewpoint for a satisfactory solution. However, since the French women do not really desire the ballot with the zeal which was expressed by those of England and America, we wonder if they will take much interest in politics after they are permitted to vote. Because of the majority of women in France, it is easily seen that the feminine wish will rule in politics. This will be a good opportunity to prove which is the "master mind” in France. Thank You! In this world of brick-bats, wherein it is so much easier to express dis approval than approval and wherein kind things are so often left unsaid, It Is a real pleasure to receive a sincere commendation. Consequently, pardonable pride must be invoked to cover the repro duction of the following letter which was one of the many received by the Times at the conclusion of the municipal campaign: “If yon know something good about a fellow, I know you like to tell it. Don’t you? *‘l do, too, and while it is difficult for me to express in a few words my admiration for the manner in which you handled the news in the recent political campaign in your columns, giving the facts truthfully, and in your commenting sanely on the issues and the men, I say that in my opinion Indianapolis, our beautiful city of homes, has a distinct asset !n the Indiana Daily Times. For me. a day is not wholly profitably spent, unless I read at least your editorials therein, which are right up to the minute. “With best wishes I am very truly yours, “EDWARD A. WILLIS.” Orbison Again The process by which C. J. Orbison, of “Dear Jerry” fame, happened to arrive on the city bench in time to hear the case of a motorman who backed a street car over and killed a small boy is almost as difficult to explain as the process by which Orbison concluded that there was no criminal negligence without having allowed the coroner to submit the facts he discovered. According to the early reports of the accident this motorman backed his car when no one was aboard it but himself. Certainly, the conductor was not at his proper station or the boy w’ould not have been killed. The responsibility for this death cannot be so easily shifted from the shoulders of the motorman as Orbison seems to think. It is well that Cor oner Robinson has proceeded to lay the matter before the grand jury, where It will receive the attention that Orbison prevented it from obtaining while' he sat as a special judge in the police court. It would seem that some day there would be a sufficient accumulation of evidence to impress this community that a man who betrays It in one official position Is hardly a proper person to be-allowed other opportunities to do the same thing. IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS Keeping House With the Hoopers [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will teli the readers of the Daily Times bow the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. "Well to return to the item of ‘advance ment,’ began Mrs. Hooper after the* mem bers of the Economic Section of the Wom an’s Club had come to order for the afternoon session, "we can only devote half the usual time lo the discussion be cause the president has reminded me that we are expected to join the meeting of the entire club in the large ropni where they are taking up the questions that were considered by the National Federa tion. This is the last Friday in the month and it was decided that this one day must be given over to the general, meetings and not Just to the work of our own section.” “Oh dear me,” said one woman, "I am so Interested in this budget that I'd much rather go right on with it than bother with the disarmament confer ence, or woman’s duty at the polls or our relation to the press.” “Well we haveHo make time for a consideration of an these things," re sponded Mrs. Hooper, “if we are to be the well rounded women that the stren uous times demand that we shall be. So let us do what we can with the budget today in the time that is allotted.” “Well we decided to cut the amount we were spending for books and maga zines and newspapers to what It costs for a subscription to the local paper which 1s about twenty-five cents a. week If oar incomes are not over fifty dollars u week.” “That seems absolutely necessary," an swered Mrs. Hooper, "but that Is no real hardship when there is as good a library as we have in Mayfield at our disposal.” “The next item under the head of ad vancement is contributions to the church," suggested the Bride wishing to help Mrs. Hooper get on with tho sub ject without further objection from those who might insist that ■pending more money for periodicals was an absolute necessity.” "Well, If the chprch can get anything out of what is left of my J-3 a veek It won’t- be enough to keep the minisi r going long," laughed one woman. "And why consider church contributions be fore other things that are more neces sary?” “I don’t think there is anything quite more necessary than that each one of us should contribute something t ’ward the support of an institution that stands for the moral and spiritual Lfe of community, as tho church does,' an swered Mrs. Hooper a little severely. "But it can be only a few cents ac cording to this arrangement," grumbled another woman. "It seems to me it would be better to take care of our dntv to tho church out of some other portion of the budget where there might be a chance of a balance once in a while.” “No,” said Mrs. Campbell, coming to the rescue as -she usually did, ‘lf you take twenty-five cents a week out of tho advancement allowance and put It in the contribution hex every Sunday, at the end of the year you have given thir teen dollars toward the support of the church arid if every single individual in Mayfield -did. . that regularly and con scientiously It. would amount to rather a decent income, taken as a .whole. “That Is the real virtue attached to giving a small sum each week," continued the Bride. "You pay It regularly and In the end it really counts for more than one realizes:” "There is another thing to he considered even when the church donation from many families must of necessity be as small as twenty five cents a week and that Is that each child in the family should fee) that part of that contribution i Is coming from him as his Individual re ! sponsibillty toward tho church,” said j Mrs. Hooper. ! "Oh, Mrs. Hooper'." exclaimed the small blonde woman who was always objecting ‘Mo you mean to say that a miserable little twenty-five cents ought to be divided up among the members of the family to put into the plate instead of the head of the bouse contributing it all in one sum?” "Well,” responded Mrs. Hooper with embarrassment in her voice because of the scornful remark of the lajly who had just spoken, "t don’t see how any other wav would make It possible for the chll dren to share in the contribution or how yon are to tench them responsibility un ices they are able to take an active part, however small, in actually paying their share toward (he expenses of what they are being taught they should always support.” "Then they ought to be made to save their pennies or their spending money or money they earn, and put it lnlo the con tribution bpi,” insisted the woman who had 'spoken first. "That would be the way to teach them to share." “Not n't all/’ said Mrs. Hooper good naturedty. "One objection to that is that It would be too irregular and there would be nothing definite or tangible about it; ■ and the second reason is that every j member of the family should have ; his jpst share'of the money you are ex pending from your income for just the purpose for which' it is designed in the budget, and with 20 cents a week as the family church contribution, each person should have his small quota to put Into the contribution box Just as he gets his share of clothing money for his special needs." "Well I think it is rather absurd,” grumbled the woman. “But fine the way It works out,” as serted Mrs. Campbell.

By David Cory As I told you in the last story, the Fox led Puss out of the little loghouse and through a thick undergrowth of .voting timber until they came to a river. "Now the robbers will never think you would travel by water,” said the Fox with a grin. "Here is a little boat,” and he pushed aside the bushes and showed I’uss a rowboat with a pair of oars. And when Puss got in the robber Fox said: “Follow the stream until you come to a lake. Then leave your boat and follow the right bank until you come to a bridge. After that you will find the highway which will take you to the castle of my Lord of Carabag, where your fammttt father lives, l’uss in Boots." “Thank you, by good friend.” Baid Puss, and he pushed off from the shore, and in a few minutes was gliding down the stream. “Heigh-ho!" he sighed, ‘this is anew way tn travel, but I have had many ex periences, so why not a rowboat instead us a gander or au automobile?” and then Buy Now-Pay After Christmas 8 Join Windsor’s Christmas Shopping Club diamonds"' At last you have the opportun ity of buying a beautiful Dia- BBSS mond Ring for a small sura, mu ESjjl ■ you give a diamond and you R|a make no mistake when you WE ESC buy it at Windsor’s.

Barnard, former health commissioner of Indiana, is to be head of the college. he went to rowing, and by and by he came to a bend in the river, and as it was late in the afternoon he decided to land and build himself a camp for the night. But no sooner had he landed than a large turtle came up to him and said: “This is Turtle Island. No one is al lowed tn land unless he has a permit " Os course little Puss Junior didn’t have one. so he didn’t know what to do. "I am about to visit my father, the famous Puss in Boots, and if I can’t stay here for the night, I may have an accident on the river. Please let me stay here.” Well, after that, the Turtle scratched bis head, and then he said, "Sir Cat, you may remain on my island,” and then he crawled away to his own house on the hill, which Puss could see in the dis tance. I think the Turtle was a very disagreeable sort of person not to have asked our little traveller to spend the night with him. but then, you know, there are some disagreeable people even in New Mother Goose Land, and the Turtle was one of them. The next morning, bright and early. Puss Junior was up, arid after he had cooked his breakfast he jumped into his rowboat and started off, and by and by as he was gliding along n big fish came up to the surface and said. "Hello there." At first Puss was startled, for he did not see the fish, but as soon as he did, he said : “Don't get in my way. for I might stick my oar In your eye.” This made the fish laugh so hard that he cried, and after that he laughed some more, only he didn't cry that time. “Where are you going?” he asked. “To the castle of my Lord of Cara bas," replied Puss. “A long journey, my brave little cat,” said the fish, “but keep up a brave .heart. You are already more than half way across New Mother Goose Land." And in the next story I will tell you more about little Puss. Jr. —Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.) PREFERS DEATH TO CELL. DUBLIN, Nov. 25.—Pretending to be hunting for a collar button while de tectives were waiting to take him to jail for fraud, John Frayer secured a razor and cut his throat. Conference Notes by the Observer Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. A WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.—At the WhiuP House >and the State Department the celebration of Thanksgiving evoked sen timents of genuine sincerity. If they could be quoted there is the best au thority for saying that both President Harding and Secretary Hughes would have expressed themselves In terms of deepest gratification and gratitude for the way things are going at the confer ence. It is certain they are proceeding more rapidly and more smoothly than even the most optimistic members of the Administration believed possible. Already one hears estimates, that do not seem so fantastic as they would have sounded ten days ago. when th time for a Christmas recess comes, the conference may have finished all its real business. Japan's delegation at the conference cow numbers four instead of three. The ad ditional member. * appointed by cable from Tokio, is the vice minister of foreign affairs, Masanao Hanlhara, who has been acting as secretary general because of the illness of Baron Shidehara, the Japanese Ambassador in Washington. Amid the excitement and preoccupation of the conference, official Washington is finding time to extend a cordial welcome to a special mission from the newly created republic of Central America—an amalgation of states north of the Isthmus. The mission members were guests of honor Wednesday at a luncheon In the Pan-American Union, with Dr. Leo Sk Rowe, director general of the union, as tiost. Statesmen representing Salvador, Guatamela, Honduras, Costa Rica and Nic arauga were; present. ■Washingtonians, in their thousand*, had their first chance Wednesday night to brush shoulders with conference not ables delegations and their staffs—at mammoth reception given b-r the com missioners of the District of Columbia. The function was held at one of the largest Government buildings, the. Na tional Museum at Tenth and P> streets. The jam was unprecedented. It was M. Ilriand's farewell nppearnce and eager ness was particularly keen among the District people to secure a close-up of the brilliant Frenchman who dominated this week’s proceedings of the conference. Lord Lee of Fareham, one of the Brit ish “Big Three” at the conference was a life-long friend of Theodore Roosevelt. As Col. Arthur Lee, British military at tache to the United States in 189S. he ac companied the American Army to Cuba. Lord Lee says ‘he Roosevelt cult, in Eng land, as in America has grown percepti bly since the former President's death, l.ady I,ee, who an American, recently organized an English branch of the Wom en’s Roosevelt Memorial Association. She was astonished to find as many British women as American in attendance at the initial meeting in London.—Copyright, : 1021-. by Public Ledger Company. XEGTSTF.RED V. S. PATENT OFFICE
