Pleasant Run

TT RANK COOPER, 1916 Key
r stone Ave, wrote TO The
IL Times: ''Wil you kindly
Fixit so that we poor south siders
can get our boulevard along Pleas
ant Run that we paid for in 1923.
We want 1t before Mayor Shank
gets his boulevard in front of his
new Golden Hill home"
He is ungrateful to insist on
promised improvements. True the
city took his money, but it left him
life and freedom to squirm under
the yoke. That's sufficient
But he wants his boulevard. How
foolish! He wants to mar the syl-
van beauty Of the landscape where
keystone Ave. crosses Pleasant Run.
At present he can sit at ease on
his porch and view the rugged, in
spring scenery of a city dump
where his boulevard will be. He
can watch the mosquitoes-graceful
as fawns, only larger-gamboi on
the trash heaps. He can be lulled TO
repose by the brunei waters of
Pleasant Run as they purl joyfully
amid the discarded tin cans, under
the bridge.
His~boulevard would only replace
the untamed beauty Of the vicinity
with nice residential district.
And yet he demands this so-called
improvement while the teeming
masses of Golden Hill live in unut-
terable sqUalor.
Mr.. Cooper Is absurdly selfish.
He She uld be willing to let the
mayor first brighten the pinched
lives of Golden Hill

Nature

Elephants get corns on the soles
Of their feet. When the big fellow
is free he wears them away, but
circus elephants standing still most
of the time must have theirs pared.
They are never known to resist or
resent this operation.
Out in Washington State they
have coined new word-fiorian,
one who grows flowers for pleasure,
as distinguished from florist, one
who grows flowers for profit.
Another definition of 'florian" is:
one who considers a flower catalogue
as literature.

Barricades

= TRENCH is being dug in
"a the pavement on Washington
IL ST. between Pennsylvania and
Delaware. and on S. Meridian, to the
discomfort Of motorists. At a dozen
places downtown building materials
clutter up the streets. and barricades
force sidewalk traffic to detour.
The police aren't the only re-
straint on traffic. The life Of pedes.
TRAN and motorist, alike, is Just one
barricade and one red lantern after
another.
This eternal tearing up Of streets
and blocking traffic gives the citi-
zen that haunted expression. He
never knows whether he is going to
fall into a pit or have a hod of
brick fail on him.
1t is a nuisance. of course, but &
is one of the penalties a city pays
for growing and building. The OBJ
structions cannot be admired for
beauty or CONFERENCE.-The they
can't be avoided.
Until the city is completely I'm
isked.
And there are completely finished
cities. Where no pavements are dug
up to lay cables or mains; where no
construction work impedes the
pedestrian. On earth, too.
Nineveh and Tyre. for instance.
They are completely finished. Yet
in what league are they?

cades are there-even when we cuss
them.

The women are wearing their new
fall hats. At least. we think that's
what they are.
Cold is what makes the Eskimos
fat. which is what makes a girl
wear silk stockings In winter.
When n girl throws a good man
down he bounces right into another
ones lap.
We would hate to be so fat we had
no lap upon which to sit the young
er set.
Late to bed and late to rise

made into wine and the third seasons

Many a flame is started by the
flicker OF an eyelid.
Tho mother who said: What
beautiful scenery has a daughter

The new fall dance steps have
many twists and turns.
Father no longer slips in late at
night. He breezes in. confident the

The rising generation stays up
to see the sunrise instead Of getting

oOsierisms
BY GAYLORD NELSON

rW7HE Indiana State Prison,
| State Reformatory and State
Farm are something more
than penal institutions.
They are State operated manufac-
turing enterprises-not conducted
primarily for profit but for discipline
and health-with large and varied
output.
Other State institutions are large
users of these particular products.
So there is law requiring other
State institutions to purchase first
from the prisons. before going into
the open market, such goods as
are prison made.-
Take the money from one State
pocket and put it III another State
pocket. Seems logica, and economical
It's the way private business con-
trolling a diversity Of enterprises
would operate.
But, it is charged by prison
authorities, this law is ignored
Other institutions buy in the open
market first. Forcing the penal in
situations to dump their entire out
put on the outside market-to the
dissatisfaction of outside man
ufacturers and free labor. thus COM
PEELED to compete with prison labor.
There's a screw loose somewhere.
And. as usual, it appears to be the
screw on the State money chest.
The motto among State in
situations seems to be: Let not the
right hand know what the left hand
is doing.
