Post Cards
BY Hal Cochran

And now comes the eason when
mailmen have reason to stoop kinda
low meath their pack. For folks, on
vacations, remember relations and
send picture postal cards back.
The reason may be, Just between
you and me, that vacationers dislike
to write. 1t isn't so hard just to
write out a card, but to mailmen it's
really a fright.
We so on a trip and we don't give
a rip about anything else but our
play. Yet, somehow it's fun, when
vacations begun, just to write and
send postals away.
Your friends never need 'em-yet,
maybe they read EN-, They know
that they'll come every year. The
message that's sent very likely is
meant. It's simply, II wish you
were here"
But mailmen, no doubt, wish the
fad would wear out. for they suffer
whenever we roam. And, while
we're out fshin'. I'll bet they are
wishin' we'd all hurry up and come
home.

Hampering Progress

SlT1HE war between motor bus interests and
i the Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany, now raging in indianapolis, is simply a
repetition of the same thing that happened
when the railroad superseded the stage coach
and when the trolley car went into competition
with the locomotive.
In the last analysis, it is a fight against
progress. "A
At the same time, however, it is a fight for
Self-protection. ~ r.
The principal argument Of the. street rail
way company is that it has an investment of
some 500, 600, 000-the estimate probably is
high-to protect. 1t does have an investment
to protect, but investments can not always
stand in the way of progress
Surprising twenty years ago a manufac-
turer who had millions invested in a buggy
sfactory-and there were some such-had gone
to the Legislature or to Congress and demand
ed the passage of a law making the manufac-
ture of automobiles illegal, because the buggy
manufacturer investment was endangered.
His argument would have been just as
reasonable as the argument of the street rail
way company that busses should be denied the
use of the streets in order that the car COM
pany's investment be protected.
Of course, the motor bus may not make
the trolley car as obsolete as the buggy. The
bus business is too young for predictions as to
the extent of it's growth.
The car company may forestaIl a large bus
transportation business within. the city limits
of Indianapolis, but it can not keep the bus out
forever. The popularity of the few busses now
being operated-some by the car company it.
Self-is proof of this.
We agree, however, that the motor bus
must be as strictly regulated as the trolley car.
The public should be protected in all cases, but
progress can not be hampered in order that an
investment shall be protected.
Car company officials made no such arg1-
ment as this when interurban lines were fight
ing the railroads.

Although the gypsies live in the
