LTXCmSQ PICTURES Photcgraphs cf the two Kegroes, hanged from a tree In the Courthouse yard at Idarion, were available to all the newspapers of Indiana with in a few" hour after the mob. had done Its work.

IDOLATRY In the eld days idolatry was perhsps the worst and most deadly sin into which a tna or yVt It consisted, as every ens fcaows, ta the worship cf any other than the true God.

The dirficulty. was la de terr.lr.lr4t who was the true God Jehovah, for instance or Baal. The worshiper of either held that the worshipers cf the other were idolaters. Primarily, of course, the word means the worship cf images or Idols but Invariably these Images were the representatives of some deity, except in the case of the Jews, Xa whsa images and their worship were forbidden. iX As it was to the days of tha apos tle, so it is now "there be god many, and lord many." There hare been men very devout to the worship of a pitiful sort cf 'god'' People hare made gods cf success, wealth.

power, high place, and cf the nation cf which they happen to be citizens. Perhaps "this world's golden store" ha more worshiper than any other cf the godlings. Certainly vast sacrifices are mads to it sacrifice of hooor, good name, respect end confidence cf one's neighbors, charac ter, fine Ideal and kindly and gen erous feelings. The jsincere worshipers of any god take ca the nature and characteristics cf the god they So tt is here. Mea seek effice to order that they may make money cut of It, with no thought except tha service of self.

or, aa they say, of their own pocket books. Hit HA cf success has lured many a man to his ruin, as has the Idol of power and position. Here self enters la. for the power arid position are coveted for self. The world has been devastated by men of this arry, for the snob has been defined as one who meanly admires cr wor tilpsmeaa things.

Thus it does seeni as tiouga there are many Idolaters In the world, and they appear to be Quite content with their gods. The great' human problem Is to create In them "a desire for aomethicg better and nobler. It is a social as much as a religious problem. For there can be no fine and cultured society composed cf cr dominiated by men and women who give no thought to "things elevating. Kor can a coun try be great, or its politics cla and pure males its people and ponftdsns "covet earnesay the best gifts." At tie root cf most cf oar trouble win be found this worship of false gods.

SMOKELESS FLASHLIGHT i Perhaps a Kobe! prize, a Carnegie medal cr ether suitable award should be cade to the General Electric engineers who have developed a flashlight for use ty pliotcgraphers.

Because the new Jam? confines the Cash within the bulb, the fire hazard is eliminated and It wH cow be possible to take a Cash light photograph ta places where tie dan er formerly "was too great for' such pictures. Almost everybody has attended at least 'one banquet. reunion or other gathering where a flashlight picture was taken.

Usually winter is the season for flashlights and after the photographer arrived and set op his machinery everybody was asked to remain quiet for a moment.

American and French ATbeaL To tha Editor oi Tb Krwa: A few days ago wheat ta Indiana was selling at 15c a bushed. It Is higher now, due to the excessive drought. At the time wheat was 15 cents a bushel in Indiana tt was $1.71 a bushel in France.

As Senator Watson said some time ago, the wage scale ta America Is a little more than three times as high as it is la France, so you caa readily figure out that on day's labor In Franc win buy a certain amount cf wheat, and one day's labor to America win buy Just about seven time a much wheat, conse quently a bushel cf wheat win buy a certain amount cf labor in America, and about seven times aa much ta France, and something like seven times as much of the manufactured products of labor, as can be bought by the bushel of wheat belonging to the American farmer. Now I feel quite certain that our esteemable secretary of agriculture Is entirely too Intelligent a man to believe that that condition has been brought about by the free and uninterrupted workings of natural economic laws. 1 am quite sure that condition has been brought about partly, by the passing of legislation in this country, which has worked a hardship cn American agriculture, and partly by laws la France, which have worked materially to the benefit cf the French farmer, until the two working together have forced the present condition. If natural law had been permitted to work in this case the French farmer would be getting probably one 1 and one half tinea a much for his wheat instead of seven times as much, because France does not produce enough wheat for her own needs, and would import' wheat from America.

My face was already crowded, and I had no room for an extra feature, i Therefore. it was necessary to hook this addition over the and the change that Is wrought In my countenance Is pathetic I can hardly believe that the meek owl eyed face I see in the mirror is really my own, and I stare at it fre quently in search of identification marks. The hair Is mine, all ruffled and red; the nose belongs, with Its leaning toward cplift; a grin reveals teeth with unmistakable aman gold landmarks. The change, cf course, lies in the region of Ttsloa. Slightly magnified behind their little glass shields, my eyes betray their growing weariness.

Fte got a certain reconciled look which I simply despise. My ears take to their slim, gold harness as imkfodly as my spirit. I am continually relieving the unwelcome pressure by unhookmg one side of the Mch la creases the effect cf cn ccming age. Nothing irritite me more than to catch eight of myself ta the mirror, carefully polishing the lenses cf my spectacles. There sit blowing cn them, and rubbing my breath away with a bit cf pink doth, exactly like somebodya grandmother.

So it's come to I cutter but go on polishing Just the same, for smears simply fly at these glasses. It was not lack cf good vision which drove me to glasses. It was serious misconduct on the part cf my right eye. It formed tie embarrassing habit of winking without my permission. Its procllvitle for shutting Itself at exactly the wrong moment got me Into so cany Jams that sought aid from one mora ckHied to the of delinquent eyes than myselL.

First the oculist tasted my powers of vision, and found nothing wrong. In fact, see ao far and so. much that it Is bard cn me, and that' one thing that made my eye lose its discretion. Reading to bed until midnight for years has likewise proved to be a severe imposition on a good pair of eyes. Small wonder that one of them decid ed on ructions.

In order to discover Just cause for complaint, my examiner used a delicate instrument with which he could see the back wall of my eye. tiny electrio light revealed to him that which can never see. And when he had finished, he became the counsel for defense for my" over strained visual equipment. So elo quent was he in behalf cf my eyes that almost burst out crying, and promised to wear glasses for ever and ever, Having listed the disadvantages cf the bespectacled countenance, honesty compels me to remark the. compensa tions.

My right eye, which hitherto has never let my left eye know what it was doing, has settled down, to a conventional cf conduct A certain gritty feeling, which kept me winking and blinking, has now disappeared. The midnight bock is easier to decipher and the hangover head' ache more infrequent One by product which I did not ex pect Is the effect cf spectacles on the children.

On the whole, the advantages of placing a strip cf glass between my' self and the universe, outweigh tae disagreeable features, It is only tiat the unaccustomed apparatus is such a frightful nuisance. It is one more thing to carry around, to keep to or der, and to lose. And last, but not iMxt resent the addition of a most pedantic look. 1 TJ. S.

PORTAL PLANS fTlmal A problem often pondered by United State architect la that ox masons Manhattan's Battery park truly "the Gateway to the Nation." Foremost designers and designs to the past. (1) Arthur Ware A triumphal arch. axised on Broadway with an espla nade incloaed by a peristyle, Canked by two buCdlngs, one dedicated to the army, one to the navy, tt) ennsto cher Grant La Farge An ornamental sxrangeraent cf pylons and railings forming ft reception plaza, a fountain playing to a great ireflecung pool, tae whole scaled low, simply. keening the Broadway vista open. (3) Erie Gugler A granite shaft S00 feet high, Canked by two large arminary spheres, one symbolic cf the celestial globe, one of the planeu; eenu cxrcu lar steps 400 feet wide from the water to an esplanade.

More utilitarian, no less impressive. but at present more nebulous, was a project innnmrfd last week by a New York Board of Trade committee. chalrmaned by William T. Donnelly, ccr.su? tlrg engineer. Chairman Don neny rirooosal not only envisions MsnriattJTi as the gateway to the na tion, but, richer to concept than pre vious plans, seek to symbolize the United SUtes as a great rctorfusion cf races nations, peoples, whose civil' Izatlon has been and is based on com merce.

His plan proposes a an ap propriate national" monument a greai vaulted nan, largest to the world, with an esplanade on the Battery water's edge and buttressed by two ten story office buildings. A nation wide contest among architects cf an race win be held, a popular subscrip ttcn to raise I23.COO.C0O set into motion. Ideal way of raising the money. declared Chairman Donnelly last week, would be to collect 23 cents from every United States citizen. "Then each person feel he owned as ranch to this national monument as tha next one.
