YOUR HOME AND THE CONSTITUTION

"TU CONSTITUTION WEEK" should be observed again.
y After the city had joined in fitting observance of the
Federal Constitution and orators galore had lauded its merits in
a Fourth of July fashion, it took the good sense of the State Su-
preme Court to give a real contribution.
Police and city court officials during Constitution Week con-
tinued a policy of making out warrants to search persons or per-
son whose names and description are unknown to the affant."
Raiding your home at a mere suspicion, without even giving
a name or place on the warrant, was never intended nor included
in the Constitution. e.
The home has some sanctity.
This, the Supreme Court has well ruled in deciding that
blanket warrants are not legal
The local application of the decision has been brought to the
public IS notice by the criticism of Judge James A. Collins, Criminal
Court, who has dismissed cases in appeal from city court because
of the Supreme Court ruling.
Hang up the epigram, ''God Bless Our Home" Home is still
a mans castle after all.

WANTED: REAL SMOKE INSPECTOR

r. INDIANAPOLIS obtains a capable, efficient smoke in
l spector to rid the city of the cursed smoke pals, the adj
visory committee giving him the examination should be con
graduated.
The smoke abatement ordinance went into effect last Saturday
without a smoke inspector. He is to be selected Wednesday,.
Getting a good smoke inspector is like hiring a city manager
when a city votes to establish that form of municipal government.
Both offices require a man of experience and exceptional ability.
According to the Indianapolis municipal code, however, no
expert can be employed unless he has been a resident Of the city.
In England cities bid for the services of experienced men. A
man, living in the country, can serve in English cities if he pays
taxes there. Germany has one of the best systems of municipal
government in the world. Being a city official is a profession there
instead of being political patronage.
American cities, using the city manager plan, likewise have
been compelled in many cases to obtain experienced executives
from elsewhere.
Difficulty may be experienced in Indianapolis in finding an
EXPERIENCED man for smoke inspector. When we've never
had smoke abatement yet, as choking clouds of smoke testify
daily, where can a man, experienced in smoke abatement, be found?
A puzzing question Try to answer it.

P~OCKETBOOK NEWS

: OW about business conditions9 Are times going to be good
J or bad2 The questions are asked daily in Indianapolis and
other metropolitan cities. 1t is no use Disgusting the fact that
many men are out of work. But
The iron industry looks good. Experts for years have con-
sdered pig iron production a weathervane of general business
It's supposed to rise or fall six months ahead of other lines.
Iron output in October was a trfe more than in September,
a customary seasonal movement. October production was quite
a bit less than in May, the record month, but production last
spring was so excessively big that a reaction was inevitable.
October output of pig iron averaged over 101, 900 tons a day.
In October, 1914, the average was not much more than half as
big. As long as our basic or key industry is stepping it off nearly
twice as fast as before the war, there's no excuse for pessimBm.
Steel industry not only is busy, it's preparing to continue
so. This years shipments of iron ore down the Great Lakes, up
to the first of November, exceeded 100000 tons. This COM
pares with about 100000 tons in the corresponding period
of last year.
If that doesn't shake the blues, try this remedy: In. October
over 100000 passenger autos and trucks were manufactured, com
pared with only 239,191 in October, 1922.
Railroads continue hauling record-breaking amounts of
freight. So far this year they have loaded and moved 416 cars
of freight for each 353 cars in the corresponding period of 1922
and 328 cars In 1921.

MERE MAN TO A MERE MAID

MAN HAS now become uninteresting to woman if we are to
HVIl gulp down the declaration of Miss Rebecca West, English
novelist, who gave an address before an Indianapolis literary club
"As for polygamy in England, 1 refuse to believe that it is
possible for a man to make himself interesting to more than one
woman at a time" she declared.
The great menace of modern man acquiring more than one
wife is thus proved to be only pif1e, after all. And it took a Brit
Eh girl to discover it, too. That a man, nowadays, wouldnt care
to buy bonnets for more than one wife is, no doubt, only a mere
Incidental
If man were more interesting, he perhaps could have a couple
of wives, Miss West might have concluded.
Dumbness has its reward if that's the case.

LIBRARIES DIDN'T SAVE ROME

f YOU had lived in Rome during the days of the great Roman
Empire, you would have had access to twenty-eight Libraries,
all well equipped.
This is a historical fact, DIR. C. H Oldfather said in an address
before the Indiana Library Association here recently.
While this development of ease with which the Roman could
enjoy books testfes to historians of the greatest Of that period
when Rome ruled the world, it is interesting to know that ali the
Libraries in Rome and in Italy, which boosted of twenty-four
others, did not save the Empire from total disintegration.
Mere access to knowledge never saved any Nation.
The luxuries of Rome, refusal of the ~plebeians to work, a huge
standing army, corruptness, admission of hOrdes of inferior, IL
Hterate people from Gaul-these were the principal causes for
Romes ruin.
There was a reason then, and there's a moral today.
