The outstanding feature of the primary campaign which close's tonight has been the contest for Republican nominations for prosecutor and judge of the Criminal court. Supporters of the incumbents have endeavored to create the impression that there are many influences at work; that the outcome involves many things. The case is very simple.

There is no occasion for any confusion in the minds of the Republican who is concerned only in doing a part toward promoting efficiency in office. The members of the Indianapolis Bar Association, who are best prepared to pass judgment on the qualifications of all seeking nominations for places on the bench and as prosecutor, took a poll of their own number to get the consensus of the lawyers as to the merits of the aspirants. There was nothing partisan or personal, nothing factional in the decision. The attorneys of both parties joined in the voting. They indorsed the present Republican judges with the one exception of Judge Collins of the Criminal court.

They went on record as saying the Republican nomination for the criminal bench should go to Walter Pritchard, who has served as city judge and whose record and qualifications are well known.

ABYSSINIA IN REVOLT. While most of the civilized world is appraising the results of the London naval conference in the promotion of permanent peace, a distant and little known corner of the globe is disturbed by a serious revolt against the throne.

The setting for the clash of contending forces Includes most of the rumors end plots which have darkened the pages of history from early times. Occupancy of the imperial throne of Abyssinia is the prize at stake. Many are reported killed in the revolt against the present ruler. The Empress of this ancient land died recently and some of the turbulent natives have the suspi The attorneys of the city, in the same vote, de clared that Laurens L. Henderson should receive the Republican nomination for prosecutor.

The contention that the movement to oust Judge Collins and Prose cutor Stark is backed by Republican factions, or bossism, is smokescreen. The voter who stops to think knows no Republican influence prompted the cion she did not die a natural death. In addition to that rumor, there have been reports of rival intrigues by European powers, Italy, France and Great Britain, for spheres of influence. Ras Taffari, the Negus, or King, bears the imposing title of "King Of Kings of Ethiopia, the conquering lion of Judah end the elect of God." He long has wielded the real power in Abyssinia, although court etiquette compels him to wait forty days before formally assuming the crown. He proclaimed himself Emperor, however, shortly after the death of the Empress, who was descended from a long line of Ethiopian rulers.

"Views of Our Readers" column on Indiana should get busy in an effort prison established at Fort Benjamin The President has asked, in connection supplemental estimate, that for construction work at army Federal prisoners and thus relieve at the regular prisons. to have quarters for such con The Star invites expressions of opinion from its 'readers.

Letters should be brief and to the point, not more than 300 words. They should be on topics of general interest and must give the name and address of the writer as an evidence of good faith. A GOOD SUGGESTION. To the Editor of The Star: President Hoover yesterday sent a message to Congress asking for an appropriation in excess ot $1,000,000 to provide for the construction of prisons at army posts to house 1,700 Federal prisoners in an effort to relieve crowded conditions in the Federal prisons. The posts named in the recommendation do not include Fort Benjamin Harrison.

As Indianapolis is now and has been for many years the center of population for the United States and is nearer to Federal court districts than any other city, I suggest that Fort Benjamin Harrison should also be named as one of the army forts for such prison construction work. In addition there is sufficient area for such a prison and enough soldiers to guard such a prison. I have written to Congressman Ludlow to ask that he interest himself in the matter of including Fort Beniamin Harrison in the army posts. RUSSELL B. HARRISON.

Indianapolis. HER IDEA OF HEAVEN. To the Editor of The Star: May I have just-a small space here for an answer to Agnes K. Wilson of Windfall, in regard to her idea that the layman and ministers should lay more stress on the material idea of hell? The Bible does say there is a hell, and it also says that "The kingdom of God is within you," and that means that your heaven or hell is now, and is within ourselves. We can accent it or leave it, but we do not have to go to some location after death to experience our hell or heaven.

Neither do we have to do this thing or that which might conform with some conventionalism of society to gain a celestial heaven. Loving in spirit and truth, as the Bible tells us, brings the kingdom of God within us. Knowing this we are possessed with the divine love, and that love casteth out all fear that is of the material, and makes us understand that our existence here and hereafter must be spiritual. The hell that does exist is the material belief in anything that is not harmonious and good, and that is worse than "fire and brimstone." DOROTHY E. A.

REARDON. 1427 Park avenue. RECEIVES ONLY SALARY. To the Editor of The Star: Since certain newspapers have recently published statement to the effect that I was receiving sums of money from the prosecution of aoatement suits anrt of other liquor cases in the courts, and since this statement has been broadcast' by radio, I think it. is proper that you should publish this statement from me.

For more than twenty-two years I have been associated with the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana. In that whole time, I never have received any fees from any one in any county in Indiana for any assistance that I have rendered, nor for any other purpose under the prohibition or liquor laws of the state. My services are always free to any one who desires them. My only receipts have been the small salary that I have received. It is true that my name has frequently been signed as cocounsel to complaints filed in the courts of Marion county and sometimes in other counties to abate liquor nuisances but it has always been with the distinct understanding that I was not to receive any fee in connection therewith.

This is an illustration of the campaign methods of the booze supporters. They prefer to publish lies rather than the truth. Indianapolis. E. A.

MILES. LIQUOR A CURSE. To the Editor of The Star: Dr. R. N.

Hargcr's article written for the Indiana State Medical Association of Fort Wayne and copied by the Literary Digest in its April 19 number gives some interesting information on poison whisky. His views are that all liquor is poison liquor if one takes enough of it. and that excessive drinking has always caused many deaths. Also that, prohibition has cut down the mortality to about one-half, according to available statistics. In the United States the death rate last year from poison liquor was 4,700.

It is also larger than the death rate from many minor diseases. When one takes into consideration the very dangerous brand of whisky that is available, it is no wonder that many are afraid to drink it at all. against the hills at an altitude of 8,100 feet, it has a beautiful location and a fine climate. The nights ere cool and clear and the days boast brilliant but not oppressive sunshine. The name of the capital means "new flower." Its main streets Bwarm with dark natives in their white cotton cloth costumes.

The majority are barefooted, although a few wear sandals. The city lacks buildings of a substantial character, but Western civilization has made its usual contribution of corrugated iron. Most of the dwellings follow the native style of conical thatched roofs and dirt floors. A few automobiles have penetrated this region, although they scarcely can be used outside the. It is this city which has been the goal of the insurgent armies and may figure more prominently in the European negotiations designed to obtain North Carolina; Fort Riley, W.

He is known as a progressive ruler, and for that reason has incurred the violent opposition of Coppic priests and feudal Chieftains. That fact also explains in part the armed rebellion in more backward regions of this remote land. The outlying "precincts" are voting the "conservative ticket" and Mr. Rass Tafari may have to commandeer an antiquated flivver to escape from the angry native hordes. Harrison has ample room for as might be required to take care of Federal prisoners.

Ebenezer Sbarpe was much younger, and his father had suggested his keeping the diary and urged him on to the task. The country boy was older and he roust have been weary enough after his work in the fields to find the daily entry a tiring task. Not one day's record is missing, however, throughout these years.

The next entries continue the record of work in the fields. 4- -t- "Fourth day, the twenty-first. This morning I shelled a grist of corn snd went to Uncle Joshua Harvey's to mill. I did not get my grinding. After I came home I went to mowing.

Frelinghuy- sen is the first member of either Hquse who voted to submit the eighteenth amendment and also for the Volstead act to recant and declare himself a wet. He does so to help along his candidacy for the Repub lican nomination for the Senate In New Jersey. "Curley Joe," as he. is known in Washington, has had un fortunate experiences politically in upholding the cause of prohibition. Running as a dry, he was beaten for the Senate in 1923 by "Teddy" Ed wards, who, though personally an abstainer, was as wet publicly as an April day.

Then again seeking the Republican nomination for the Sen ate in 1928 and keeping mum on the subject of prohibition, he was beaten by Hamilton F. Kean, who did not conceal his wetness. The moral of those two experiences was to be wet this time, and it was net lost upon the ex-senator. He was never a dry by conviction. Carried awey by the notion prevalent at the time prohibition was adopted that the millenium was at hand, he voted for the dry amendment and the dry law.

New Jersey was probably wet even at the time it became the forty-sixth state to ratify Morris Sheppard's famous amendment. At any rate, it soon thereafter repented of its dryness. And it is now the wettest state, in the Union. Frelinghuysen, when he was a senator in the early days of prohibition, was reputed to have a good cellar, doubtless of prewar stuff, for most persons of means like himself stocked up against the possibility of a long dry period. Naturally, not having unalterable convictions upon prohibition, or on much of anything else, except the desirability of a seat in the Senate, Mr.

Frelinghuysen goes wet with his state. The incident is only important as showing of what stuff political drys are made. Mr. Frelinghuysen is the first convert. There will doubtless be others in some parts of the country.

All that is necessary to convince three-quarters of the drys in the Senate and the House that virtue is on the side of the wets is that poltically there is more nutriment in being wet than in being dry. The dry majority in Congress is the most unsubstantial thing in the world. The election of a wet President, the defeat of a few drys in the House and Senate and the majority in both houses will turn the same kind of a flipflop that Frelinghuysen has done, I was talking to a politically dry member the other day. "The people," he said, "will go on voting for drys even though they vote wet in polls and referendums." There isn't any question of right or wrong about it. The sole question is which is the best way to be elected.

I came home late for supper last nite, only it dident matter on account of pop being still later so they hadent stirted yet, and by the time pop came in our cook Nora was so mad she was tawking to herself and slamming down lids and things, saying, How can a person werk in a house the like of this, a person mite as well werk for a wild tribe of savages and cannibills, no reguler hours, meels one time today and another time tomorrow till a body is distracted entirely. And she started to bring the things in to the dining room and put them down on the table for us to eat still tawking to herself, saying, A body mite as well be in a hotel with people coming in any time and every time with no more rule nor regulation than the beginning of the werld. And she went out in the kitchin agen, ma saying to pop, Now that sort of impewdents is reely more than I can stand, youll haff to speek to her, Willyum.

And she went out agen, ma saying to pop, Well I must say I dident hear any so called blast. I prefer to blast in private, it gives me more freedom of speech in case I get too eloquent and say something unfit for the ears of children, excuse me a moment, pop sed. And he got up and went out in the kitchin still holding his napkin, me starting to follow him ony ma made me sit down agen, and he came back and kepp on eating his supper with a satisfied expression, and Nora came in with more water and put it down easy insted of hard the way she had been putting everything elts down, and she went out agen without saying a werd.

Early Day News in Indianapolis Weekly State Journal, July 5, 1851. In conversation with a gentleman who is intimately acquainted with the wants of the city, he expressed to us the great necessity of a town clock for regulating the movements of the people.

He says he "is in" $5 and believes there are twenty others who will contribute the same amount each and several as much as $10. There are scores, we think, who would give from 60 cents to $1. NOT SO WELL. Dallas News, At the present moment, Mr. Dcneen is the 111.

senator When we consider, aside from this death rate of poison liquor, the many deaths brought about while under the influence of drink which covers all kinds of crime and accidents, would you not think that those who say they do not want to be deprived of their drink because they only drink moderately would see the need of giving it up for the sake of helping the poor fellow who can not control his appetite? I have great respect and honor for a country that will undertake to wipe out man's greatest evil and it will have to be done by the so-called "drys." You are either a moderate drinker and could leave it alone entirely, or you are fast in the clutches of the greatest evil that ever beset the human race. They say there are other crimes and depredations committed far more harmful than drinking. Are there any that have not been committed while under the influence of strong drink? You would not tolerate a serpent in your home for one day, yet this thing. has coiled itself about the human race for centuries. JAMES DELANCEY.

2124 Allfree street. WILL VOTE FOR MB. HALL. To the Editor of The Star: As commander of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War and a national officer of -the Veterans of Foreign Wars, I am in hearty accord with the sentiments expressed by Ralph J. Canter in regard to Archibald M.

Hall. Mr. Canter does not politically indorse Mr. Hall. The constitution of the V.

F. W. prohibits such indorsements. Mr. Canter does, and rightfully does, highly commend Mr.

Hall to the public. I also have known Mr. Hall for a number of years and as a disabled veteran greatly appreciate his true American spirit, his efforts in behalf of all service men and his interest in the advancement of real American ideals. Mr. Hall, I think, is a very able citizen, a gentleman of high character and one who certainly would make a very able representative in Congress.

It will be a real pleasure for me to vote for" such a citizen. ARTHUR G. GRESHAM. Indianapolis. MME.

DEEDS HITS BACK. To the Editor of The Star: Referring to the recent view article, "Half-baked Legislators," by H. Evans of Newcastle, I wish to reply that I heartily agree with him in the main, but must take issue with him on his last paragraph, for, being that The Star announced that I maintained a beauty parlor in giving data on my candidacy for legislative office, he has singled me out in his criticism. I am the owner of a residence beauty parlor and have been engaged in other business for some years, and fail to see why my business activities should weigh against me when it comes to my trying to 'inject a little common sense into some of our politics, and enact some legislation which will be of some benefit to the taxladen public. The trouble with our Legislature for many years past is that it has been composed of too many small town lawyers who may know something about their own hog lots, but when it comes to enacting any legislative relief for the property owner of small holdings in the cities, they have failed miserably and have given us no relief; and now our tax rate has become particularly burdensome.

But just what does Mr. Evans know about it, or any other of Marion county's many oppressive problems? I will grant him the privilege of voicing his sentiments to his heart's content in his own local newspaper, but just why do such small town people wish to exploit their superior knowledge in governing the city? What has been the composition of our past legislative bodies but largely small town hick lawyers, farmers, carpenters and mechanics who know no more about law and the needs of the city folks than a rabbit? What qualifications has Evans to tender to till the office in question, or to criticize others? Therefore, I would simply ask him to kindly take care of his own little city and I will do my best to assist in caring for mine, for the welfare of all. For his information I wish to add that I am not only the proprietor of a beauty parlor, but am engaged in several other enterprises and civic welfare, and my ability has never been criticized by any Indianapolis citizen and this is the first I have heard from any small town stuff. Upon a dry platform, a lifetime honorable reputation, an American war mother, a civic leader, a. stanch Republican, an Indianapolis high school graduate and as an independent backed or controlled by no political faction or clan, I seek the office of state representative of Marion county.

19.10.) Two Words a Day. BY L. E. CHARLES. IMPERATIVE.

Adjective. Expressive of command, this word Is applied to things rather than persons, which the adjective "imperious" rovers. Imperative means commanding, authoritative, not to be shirked. Imperative implies necessity, not arrogance or offensive unreasonableness. The second syllable is accented, sounding as in "end," im-per-a-tive.

DAIS. Noun. We so often hear this word mispronounced that it must also be frequently misspelled. The long a must precede the short i or else do not pronounce the i at all, but sound, it all like "das," rhyming with "ace." In the middle ages the baron's table, for this comes from the Latin word discus, meaning table, was on a raised platform at one end of the hall and there was often a canopy over this platform. The word dais was variously applied to the table, to the platform and even to the canopy.

Finally It was used for any canopy of state over a chair or throne of an important personage. Bt'SY RIGHT (XOW, Knightstown Banner.

An interesting experiment was made at Dos Moines last week of playing baseball at night. An elaborate system of flood-lighting enabled the spectators apparently to follow the course of the contest as easily as if it had been played under normal conditions. The players also seemed to have no difficulty in seeing the ball. The effort to demonstrate that baseball can be played successfully at night was made to stimulate greater attendance in smaller cities. The experimental game was played between two teams of the Western League, a Class A organization, just a notch below the American Association.

Seven thousand spectators were present. The number included baseball executives from a score of leagues eager to study the value of pastiming at night as a means of increasing the patronage of the fans. If the test is deemed satisfactory from the players' point of view, it may prove sufficiently attractive from a box office standpoint. The attempt probably was suggested by the increasing number of college football contests played after dark. So far as the spectators are concerned, baseball should be more attractive than the gridiron sport.

The former is played in summer, so that the comfort of the fans often would be Increased. The enthusiasm of a football crowd, however, may be impaired by the penetrating chill of late autumn nights. It will be interesting to note the reaction of the baseball experiment and its possible extension in minor leagues. MONROE DOCTRINE'S STRENGTH. Whenever a period of dullness arrives in some of the Latin-American republics, politicians or journalists usually can stimulate interest in life by reviving the alleged issue of the Monroe doctrine.

The influential Buenos Aires paper, La Prensa, must have experienced a dull day in the editorial sanctum when it proceeded to argue the nonexistence of this well-known pronouncement. The newspaper may be correct to the extent that the doctrine never was based on statute law. It would be folly to assert, however, that it has not played a part in the affairs of Latin America no les vital than if the formal i signatures of world powers were attached. The Monro? doctrine serves the demagogues of the southern republics as an opportunity to assail the alleged imperialism of the United States. The Students of history, however, know that the doctrine on more than one occasion has provided a strong bulwark for the southern countries.

As a simple declaration of purpose by a President of the United State8, it protected Latin America from European exploitation. Its existence was very real in apprising foreign countries that any attempt to coerce these weak republics would be regarded as an unfriendly act. The United States has been compelled to act several times to secure its own safety, irrespective of the Monroe doctrine. Such occasions have been provided by the famous Magdalena bay incident, by our policy in Panama, Haiti, San Domingo and Nicaragua. The much-discussed doctrine, however, never has been used to coerce a' southern republic.

President Wilson clearly denned it in 1915 when he said: It is known not to be a selfish purpose. It Is known to have In it no thought of taking advantage of any government in this hemisphere or playing its political fortunes for our own benefit.

Primary Weakness. ECONOMICAL REDUCING. "Dear Doctor: Can you tell me of any reducing diet menus that take into consideration a slender purse as well as one's health? All those I have read call for out-of-season foods which are expensive, so you see my difficulty. I am twenty-five pounds overweight, and want 'to reduce. "MRS.

You don't need any special out-of-season foods for reducing, Mrs. L. Make up your own menus out of the foods you use all the time. The foU lowing I give for a foundation reducing diet. (It is a good foundation diet for all, for that matter.) Pally Foundation Dit-t, FIRST.

At least a half pound every day of some watery vegetables (the green leaf vegetables especially) lettuce, spinach, celery, asparagus, watercress, beet top greens, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. A half pound of these, cooked or uncooked, without fat, will be approximately fifty C. SECOND. One-half pound of other vegetables, such as carrots, onions, 'parsnips, squash, every day. These approximate about one-hundred without fat.

FIFTH: One medium small potato, OR one large slice of whole wheat bread, one-half Inch thick, same number of calories, OR two-thirds of a cup of cereal (each 100 C).

The fact of tension is not in itself regrettable. The ages of triumphant genius have invariably been ages of tension between peoples or between cultures. The ages of smugness and security have been ages of sterility.

I hope that there may always be a creative tension between the soul of the West and the soul of the East. 4- Nothing more tragic for the future of mankind could happen than that the West and the East should, by a kind of huckster's bargaining, iron out the Occident and the Orient into a drab sameness of aim and action. Humanity must feed on diversity If it is to escape spiritual and cultural starvation. I hope that India will never trade her faith for a Ford. And I hope quite as ardently that the Western world will never trade its dynamos for the futile daydreaming which is the bastard offspring of the fruitful intuition of the Eastern spirit.

I should not care to live In a world that had been transformed into a vast Shaker village of sterile, uniformity. The fact of tension between the occidental and the oriental Ideals is perhaps beyond our control. 4- 4- 4- The fruits of this tension are, however, within our power to determine. Occidental and orientals, as they face the common problem of determining the that shall ripen from the existing tension between the West and the East, may choose either of these two methods: The method of conflict. The method of comprehension.
