How poor, and weak and generally ineffective ‘we should be without these advant-i ages can be at once seen by. the most casual observation of those nations among which they have been neg- lected. | “This is by no means all that is to. be expected ‘from American edu-' eétion gnd American institutions. 1! eau not conceive that the object of Abraham Lincoln was merely to in- struct men how to raixe more corn, to feed more hogs, to get more money, to buy more land, and so on in the expanding circle, as the story goes. Of course, he wanted to teach men to raixe more corn, but his main ob- ject must have been to raise better men. come back to the query that is epntained in the concentrated wis- dom of the ages. ‘What shall it prof- it a man if he gain the whole world lose his own soul? ‘All of our nee and all of our arts will never be the means for the true advancement of our Nation, will never remove us from the sphere of the superficial and the cynical, will never give us a civilization and zulture of any worthy and lasting importance unless we are able to see in them the outward manifesta- tion of a spiritual reality. Unless our halls of learning are real tem-, oles which are to be approached by| our youth in an attitude of rever- ence, consecrated by worship of thy! truth, they will all end in a delusion The information that is acquired in them will simply provide a greater capacity for evil. Our institutions of. learning must be dedicated to a higher nurrose. The life of our na- tion must rise to a hieher realm. Spiritual Outlook Necessary _ “There omething more in learn- ing and something more in life than a mere knowledge of science, a mere acquisition of wealth, a mere striving for place and power, Our colleges will fail in their duty to their stu- dents unless they are able to inspire! them with a broader understanding of the spiritual meaning of science,’ of literature, and of the arts. Their graduates will go out into life poorly, equipped to meet the problem of ex-| istence, to fall an easy prey to dis-' satisfaction and despair.

Mayor Duvall was indicted under the ¢ - Neate corrupt prac: Governor Jackson is the second successive Indiana chief executive to face criminal charges. His predeces- sor, Warren T. McCray, was paroled only a few days ago from federal prison where he was sent for con- spiracy to use the mails to defraud. _ MeCray’s name, too, figured prom- inently in the present charges. Gov- ernor Jackson, Marsh, Coffin and Stephenson are charged in the indict- ment with having offered the then governor, McCray, $10,000 if he would name James E. McDonald prosecutor oe mse renee jackson at the time was secretar: of stute and McCray was under in dictment. The alleged bribe also was said to have included im ffe. >, ime tunity from prosécatio.. _—— MeCray Intimidated The grand jury, in its report yes- terday, also charged efforts were made to intimidate McCray so that he would not reveal an attempt had been made to bribe him. The threat of interference with plans for his parole from prison were held before McCray, the true bill said. Mayor Duvall was indicted on vir- tually the same charges a’ were con- tained in an affidavit filed against him by the prosecuting attorney sev- eral weeks ago, and on which he is scheduled to go to trial Monday. The indictment charges the mayor prom- i illiam P. Armitege, Indianapo- lis politician, the right to name men to city positions, in return for polit- ical support in the primary and election of 1925, which put Duvall in- to office. A note written in Stephenson's cell, and secreted out of the prison into the hands of Thomas H, Adams, publisher of the Vincennes Commer- cial, started the series of investiga- tions, Stephenson’s Charges Stephenson’s charges were that some of the state's leading politicians and office holders had enguged with him in political intrigue, both during and after the time he was grand dragon of the KuKlux Klan. Mystery, in the form of “black boxes,” alleged by Stephenson to contain documentary proof of his charges, the disappeurances of star witnesses with subsequent country- wide searches, trips to the Indiana state prison to interview Stephenson, and an investigation by the U. S. senate’s investigating committee, un- der Senator James Reed of Missouri, were among the high lights of the long probe. ' The first grand jury action came nearly a year ago, when the jury was automatically discharged after 11 weeks of investigation. Voluminous testimony was turned over tv the criminal court authorities by the jury. The second grand jury was discharged after one of the jurors in an affidavit charged he had been ap- proached and offered g bribe if he would vote not to indict Mayor Du- vall. An independent investigation was then taken up by William H, Remy, prosecutor of Marion county, which ended in the filing of an affidavit against Mayor Duvall, charging con- spiracy to commit a felony and vio- lation of the corrupt practices act, for which the ‘mayor is to stand trial Monday.
