Newcastle, Ind. BCTXEH WANTS MORE BOOM. To the Editor of The Star: If Butler college Is to grow and become a larger university, It Is absolutely necessary that a now location bo provided.

It Is the prosent location that has kept Butler from becoming more popular and a greater college. Indianapolis Is the capital and therefore Is entitled to havo tho best university in the state. The people heretofore 'have been negligent In their support of Butler. A new location will arouse them to action and Interest. "Wlillo it Is true that Butler needs Irvlngton, it is also true that Butler needs the support of tho southern, northern and western sections of tho city.

Butler must bo born again and must have a now location. Tho people of Irvlngton havo displayed a certain degroo of selfishness In wanting to keep Butler In the old rut between two railroad tracks, which havo boon tho source of so much nolso and tho cause of the death of neveral students. The students In tho eastern part of Indianapolis have had a snap, duo to tho fact that they have not spent their time riding back and forth on the street car, and havo not been ot any expense ln the wav of car fard Natural. ly, they would not desire tho removal of sutler becauac it would bo a hardship on them the same as It haB been upon those students who did not live in Irvine ton. Let It be known that thn majority of the people in Indianapolis hope to see a chango in tho near future.

Tho people In tho West side of tho city are especially In favor of tho removal of Butler to tho new location at fairvew. Tho board of trustees Is not ln error. but has a vision ns to the future of a greater university and should be encouraged to purchase the new land and to build a new college. AU who' are In favor of this should wrtto to the board of trustees and help push this inmg niong. RKV.

CHARLES H. GUNSOLUS, Indlanapolla. Butler Graduate, EXPICItTS NEEDED ON TARIFF. To the Editor of The Star: Members of "Congress should pray for deliverance from the ordeal of making tariffs. Congress should follow the ad vice or president Harding and extend the powers of the tariff commission.

This commission has lone been In axlnt. once, but has not functioned for the rpnnnn thnt noncroRR hnn hnn Innlnim of Its authority and prerogatives. Congressmen feel that a tariff on some article In their own "decstrlcts" is a political fence builder. But just as often It is a political death knell. The use of special tariffs for political effect Is about From the Watch Tower, IGH, unstinted credit Is due tha Indiana State Bar Association for Its emphatic declaration tn favor of law enforcement, protection of the rlEht to work regardless of strikes, respect for court decisions, purification of tho legal profession, codification of state laws, and sundry othor propositions havln In contemplation a more exalted clUaeiv flhlp and the fosterlwr of a hihAr re gard for constitutional nreroBratlvna.

All thin Is In harmony with the best thought of patriotic men and women of Indiana. And it ts earnestly hoped that the bar association aa such and Its members as individuals will do their utmost to put into practical effect tho Ideas presented nnd emphasized at the recent mooting of the organized forca of Indiana's legal fratornlty. Though politically tralninr In runn ing parties, Representatives William acorK W.

In reply Governor Hyde issued this manly manifesto: "Tho stato of Missouri Is not a striko breaker; neither Is tho stato an onem- tor of utilities. Tho state Is merely tho agent of the nnnnln tn mnlntain pe.ao and order and execute tho law. men, ui mo opera tors and of the public all demand that tho stato nhn fnlthfitllw duty. I am under oath to do it.

rho law gives every man a right toJ quit work singly or collectively. You shall bo protected In that right. Tho law gives every man, singly or collectively, the right to work for whomsoever ho pleases upon whatever terms aro satisfactory to him. That right must bo protected. Will your organlza-t on co-operate, to protect other men in tho enjoymont of their right to work?" T- -t Now publicity Is given to tho gratifying statement that Akron, the "rubber city," has established and Is now out to break a now "firelcss" record for cities of Its size.

When whole cities unite for nro prevention wo aro Hotting somewhere. In commemoration of this timely movement a contemporary well and truly says: "Thoro Is perhaps no humnn evil so consistently duo to preventablo causes as fire. There are cases of spontaneous combustion, to be sure, but these generally occur becauso somebody loaves Inflammable materials in an unsuitable location. Then there Is lightning, to which evon tho "flrcless" enthusiast must bow as a suporior and practically uncontrollable force. But for many of tho other ordinary, innumerable fires which destroy property and lives, thero Is not much excuse.

Prevention of Are, winter or summer, Is largely a matter of taking pains enough." -J- Out In Kansas and Missouri notabla Interest In Sunday school work was) awakened by tho groat convention recently held ln Kansas City. Cognizance of this wholesome effect Is thus taken by tho ever vigilant Kansas City Start "Tho plan presupposes that religious instruction Is tho business of -tha church rather than tho state or tha city. The church has not mot tho requirement. Tho great bulk of religious', teaching has been loft to the Sunday schools, which operated a half hour or' so once a week; made uso principally of: untrained teachers and reached only ai small percentage of the boys nnd glrlsl of any community. It is tho purpose-' of tho local association to change all this by giving to religious instruction the dignity and Importance attached to the work of tho publlo schools." -i- Aliens who havo declared their intention to become citizens thirty days before election aro eligible to vote under the Nebraska suffrage laws.

In Indiana suffrage was, until about a yoar ago, even cheaper than that. In this stato an alien was permitted to vote upon filing his declaration on the day of election. Happily that abomination Is no longer tolerated. -h -f- Statement is now mado that tha) machine for drilling cores out of hard surface pavements can, by the addition of equipment costing $250, bo used for bridge foundation exploration. The driller cuta a coro four inches in diameter out of solid rock, and whon this coro is tested In the commission's laboratory, onglncors seeking to locate a solid foundation beneath tho earth's surface and frequently far below a river bed, know positively what strength tha foundation will be which la to bo used as a support for tho bridge- crossing.

-f- In Nobraaka a third party movement threatens to occasion trouble for tho, old parties. Seems to bo difficult to ascertain at thla time which of the old parties will suffer most from this diversion. A combination is alleged to have beon effected by friends of Senator Hitchcock and Charles Bryan, brother of William to control tho Demooratlo primaries for Hitchcock for senator and Bryan for Governor. Hitherto tha Bryanltes and 'the Hltchcockltes have been far apart. Tho unification program has encountered soma opposition in tha Democratic camp.

Death Imposes upon tha Republican! central commltteo of St. Joseph county the duty and responsibility of filling two vacancies on the county ticket. Judge Fred C. Klein died after a protracted Illness on the night of July 13, aged 41 Upon tho creation of a socond Superior, court last yoar ho was by Governor Mo Cray appointed, to fill that position until a Judge could be chosen at the election next November. At tho Republican primaries last May he was nominated without opposition.

Ho was born in Minnesota of German parentage and practiced law ln South Bend for eighteen years. The second death was that of Arthur B. Hunter, -son of Postmaster Hunter, and who received the nomination for state senator after a spirited cuntest. Young Hunter was regarded ono of tho brightest members of the St. Joseph county bar and hnd before him an exceptionally bright career.

His death orcurred a day after that of Judge Klein. Ho was 28 yeors old. Deep sorrow was occasioned by the passing of these two estimable citizens. JOHN B. STOLL, Little Benny's Notebook.

All tho old-tlmera remember him well and what the kid generation don't know about tho peccadillos of their elders won't hurt anybody, Anyway he waa a mighty fine fellow, much beloved by all of us, and when John Barleycorn began to claim him too often wo held anxious conclaves to discuss the question of doing something to help him. Finally we got together a purse to aend him to tho Keely Institute, In the hope that he might return ln a month or two to resume his duties. But who was to boll tho cat' How to approach him on. the subject was a rather delicate matter, so we put it up to Harry New, who was always tho beat friend of every man on the paper.

Speaking of novelties In education as advanced at tho convention In Boston it seems to us that the proposal of a Wisconsin educator to give tho school pupils courses ln newspaper rending takes tho palm. The Idea is to teach the pupils to read newspapers with intelligence and discrimination. We would like to second tho suggestion. Newspaper ruen know only too well that too many people read with their elbows, ao to epeuk. If they can be taught to road and discriminate, to absorb tho Ideas expressed In print and to go a little further Into newa reading than the glaring headlines, the educational valuo will be Immcnae, for.

If tho coming generation can rend newspapers with Intelligence nnd discrimination, they enn more probably read anything else they out to in a like manner, be it text-book or something else. To attain discrimination In newspaper reading involves a harder task, but if it can bo brought about It will confer a boon on the leslly meritorious newspapors, WISDOM OF INEXPERIENCE.

A survey In 1021 to see what progress bad been made In smoko abatement, showed thnt there had been a decrease of about one-tbtrd, A smoke survey Is now being made in Grafton, W. Vn which is in the coal district, by the bureau of mines, but tho results hnve not been made known. Before the bureau went Into the investigation, back In 1012, according to the Amerlcnn City Magazine, tho Mellon Institute of Pittsburgh conducted smoko Btirvcy of that city and surrounding country, which Bhowed thnt the annual sootfnll varied from minimum of G05 tons to the squnre mile In the high residential district to a maximum of 1,050 tons In the low-lying mill districts along the Ohio river. The average fall over tho entire district surveyed wns 1,0.12 tons per squnre mllo. A survey of St.

Louis showed genernl aver age of 812 tons of soot to the squnre mile. A smoko survey made in, Chicago In 1014 made no record of tho sootfnll, perhaps for the prudent fear of the authorities of thut smoky city that tho disclosure would be followed by nn ex odus when the Inhabitants learned the mensuro of their affliction. Indlnnspolis would undoubtedly show a heavy average. Assuming that It has the general average of St. Louis 812 tons of soot a year to tho square mile; a measure of a mile Is at hand In tho dis trict bounded by North, East, South nnd West streets district that includes tho bulk of the city's retail business, Its public offices, Its banks nnd many whole sale houses.

Eight hundred nnd twelve tons of Boot descending on thnt territory In year Is nn appalling thing to contemplate.

It Is more than a nuisance; It Is a plague and a peril, yet little Is done to abate It. Firo Fighters in Convention. Tho annual sessions of the Indiana State Firemen's Association, which begin today and continue for three days, will bo of much greater benefit to tho public thnn the average convention gathering, most of them hnving to do with the advancement of prlvntc interests. This convention will make the firemen better fire fighters, nnd thus re duce the loss in the arlous communi ties wnero they operate. Tho citizen's attitude towards the fireman is much the some ns that towards the doctor or dentist.

Ordinarily he has no use for their services, but when he docs want them ho wants them in a hurry. The sessions aro expected to bring between 2,000 and 2,500 members of fire companies to Indlnnnpolls, which will menu thnt practically every city nnd town will be represented. The local (Icpnrtiiient will execute several drills and will give domonstrntlons of firo fighting and rescue work which should be of great benefit to men from tho smaller departments. Now apparatus will be demonstrated and the discussions will bring out tho most effective methods of combnting blaze under all kinds of conditions. The Interest which local firemen tako In tho state organization is indicntcd by membership of 550 out of a totnl of COO members in the Indianapolis department.

It is a far cry from the bucket brigades and hand pumps of the city's early history to the present motor-driven apparatus with its pumpers and acrlnl towers projecting water from any desired height. The first organization in indlnnnpolls for protection from fire took plnce on June 20, 1820. The company's Implements were buckets, nses and ladders. The first buckets were curiosities, made of heavy harness lenthcr, painted green Inside and bound with a leather-covered rope nround tho mouth. They were hnndied by a leather strap for a ball and shaped somewhat like a beer keg, holding approximately four gallons, Tho town ordlnnnco required one or moro to be kept In, every house, with the owner's nnmo painted on It.

Because of their peculiar shnpe, It is aald of them thnt they poured more water on the wleldcr thnn on tho fire. Upon the completion of tho Stato House In 18.15 the Legislature authorized the treasurer to procure twenty buckets for fire purposes, with suitable ladders, and to pay half tho cost of firo engine If tho citizens of Indian- apolla would pay tho other half. As a result the Marlon Firo, Ilnse and Protection Compnny wns organized nnd nn "end-brake" engine bought in the Knst. In 1937 It wns housed in frnmo building on tho north half of tho Circle. The first officers and members oi tno organization were the most prominent citizens of tho community, After serving ten years they beenmn honorary membero, entitled to all the rights and' privileges of firemen, which inciuueii exemption Irom city taxes and from service In the militia or on juries.

Lnter It heenmo less respectable and moro efficient, but with the election of a fire chief engineer and gradual movement toward paid firemen It disbanded In February, 1S00, after serving twenty-five years, Various other companies wore organized, getting equipment nnd house by Btibscrlptions, nnd Bomctlmos nsslsled by appropriations from tho Council. Among them wore the Invluclbles, tho Independent Relief, the Union, the Hovers and the Young America hook and ladder company. The Council declared in August, 1850, ln favor of a paid do-pnrtment nnd the purchnsoof new equipment, asserting thnt pnid firemen would havo the advantage of "neither drink ing whisky nor throwing Primitive firo fighting methods nre Btlll used In mnny pnrts of the country, but the majority of Hooslor towns havo scon the wisdom of buying the most modern apparatus, and tho bucket mid hand pump have become largely a tra dltlon ln Indiana.

"Huh?" said Andrew, looking up confusedly. "What?" I beg your pardon." "Oh. It's all right," sho said.

Destroy dlvorco or it will destroy tho nation, Is the alarming slogan broad' cast by an organization 'noted for Its large constructive work ln assisting tills world to be a better world. It Is admitted the, the dlvorco prob tern Is a serious problem. It Is conceded that the organization's claim that wo lead the world ln numbers of legal separations Is true.

And yet it were foolish to believe that the great body of American society effectively can bo poisoned by this soalal disease. Every reasonable restriction that can be imposed by law with roferenco to divorce is to bo commended separations aro all too easily obtained. Something of blame for this situation must attach to Judges who aro too prono to permit prejudice or sympathy to Influence their decisions In these cases. Tho laws In the various states often aro of questionable valuo or merit. Wo can not very well enact a national statute to meet' tho trouble and cover tho ground.

So, when all Is aald, wo must fall back upon tnose guming moral principles which havo for so long. led humanity aright, It la to the churches, moral organiza tion, to Eood men and crood women everywhere that we must look for tho remedy. Legislatures and Congresses never can mako men and women moral by statute. They can, nnd do, enact helpful legislation along these lines and much 1b needed to straighten out this complex problem of divorce but the individual must De taugnt, not coerced, In matters affecting his personal hnhtlR nnd hln ncrsonal relations In life. The nation is In no danger, imminent or remote, from tno divorce evu, wnue it Is true that we lead tho world an uncnvlablo record In legal aoparatlonB, It alfln ift true that comnarod with the number of happy and abiding marriages the divorce Hot practically la negligible.

It Is right and proper to make the obtaining of a divorce moro dlfllcult, to gsnnt a decree only where tho proof Is clear that separation Is tho best thing for the Individuals and for society, but beyond that It would scarcely bo safo to go.

Tho charts prepared by U. A. Worthlngton, president of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis Western railroad, nnd published In The Star Inst Sundny, present a grnphlc story of tho industrial progress Indlnnnpolls Is ranking. Mr, Wotthlngton's figures cover the years 1010 to 1020, inclusive. The dnta for last yenr and the first half of the pres ent yenr not being nvnllablo, Mr.

Worthlngton estimates that there hns been some falling off In the number of those employed, compared with tho high point reached In 11)20. Hut even dis counting any unemployment thcro may hnve been In tho last year and a half, his statistics emphasize tho remarkable progress the city has recorded. The population of the city In 1010 was 280,000 and In 1020 It wns nn Increase of 12.1-1 per cent. Tho numher of those employed In the city had Increased from 37,500 in 1030 to 00,000, or S-l per cent. Capital invested In Industries Increased In four yenrs from to or 05.12 per cent.

Wnges paid In Indianapolis went up lfW.M per cent, from $30,000,000 to $70,000,000. Tho cost of materials used went from to $270,000,000, or 01.40 per cent. The value of manufactured products turned out In Indlnnnpolls In 1010 was $215,000,000 nnd four yenrs Inter It was nn incroaso of 117.07 per cent. The dntn presented by Mr, Worth lngton show the industrial development of the city up to the beginning of Inst year, Xo figures are needed to convince casual observers that the city is going ahead steadily along tho lines he indicated. There never hns been time In the history of tho city when there was so much building construc tion as this summer.

Nearly 000 worth of permits for new houses were issued In the first half of this year. A larger number of important business buildings is in course of con struction than nt nny other period. Strangers who come to the city arc Impressed by tho building activities In Indlnnnpolls and are ut a loss to understand why there Is so much more construction In progress hero than In most other cities. The statistics compiled by Mr. Worthlngton tell the story.

Indianapolis Is busy trying to meet tho housing demands of a very substantial Industrial development. The city is not hnving renl estate boom in anticipation of what may be needed In the future, but Is building on the solid foundation of present requirements. A Novelist in Parliament? Mr. II. G.

Wells, hnving been sufficiently urged, has ngreed to become a Lubor candidate for Parliament. Probably he will be elected, fur it may be guessed thut aside from his supposed interest Iu industrial questions likely to draw the lnbur vote, numerous voters outside of thnt party will support him simply out of curiosity. They will wish to see If his acts when ho Is really in political life will harmonize with his opinions cxpresseil while on the outside. It will, of course, bo humanly Impossible for this versatile gentleman to be politically consistent with his own writings, for he hns given utterance, either directly or through characters In his bauks, to such a conflicting variety of views thnt probably no one of his fellow citizens has kept puce with him or can give a dear idea of the principles and philosophy that he now believes himself tu entertain. There is a pretty general opinion, however, that Mr.

Wells Is still a soelnl-Ist, and that he is almost as much "agin" everything in existing governmental life outside of Russia as his friend Mr. I.enlne, whom he visited for two or i ii roc weeks a year or so ago nnd spoke of highly on his return.

There are scv- enil points of resemblance hefwnn r- Wells nnd Mr. Ilrynn, though their opinions nre as fnr apnrt as the poles.

So It seems to mo that members of Congress should welcome a change and allow a nonpartisan tariff commission to dig up the details and give facts on business, scientific principles. Such a commission of capable men surely would do tho work quicker and better than about fiOO so-called aolona. It would relieve congressmen of the labor and embarrassment of tariff making and rolieve tho business of tho country of the uncertainty and agitation caused by the change of administrations. A tariff commission, It seems to me, would work much like the "budget system" that has been so useful and met with suoh great favor. Both systems aro In the line of economy and the nulck and effective dispatch of business, Tho Jam In Congress with no end In sight is not only an argument for a workable tariff commission, but proves that our law-making-body Is too largo and unwieldy.

I wish we fad a Senate of forty-eight ono for eadh state and the House reduced one-half or moro of its present members. The budget system takes a big load off of Congress, A tariff commission would do greater service. Then with body of business men nnd statesmen not politicians reduced to manageable proportions, wo could expect a more economical, efficient government in the interest of the -general Welfare.
