correspondence
Dear Mr.. Editor,

Dear Mr.. Editor,
Jackson's mourning suit Is
costing five thousand.
Did we understand our English Reader
to say that after Dick Wilmington became
Lord Mayor of London that he was
ashamed of his biography as inscribed!
Was Abraham Lincoln the noted Presl-
dent of the United States ashamed OF
his? Does the biography OF noted gen
tlemen do injustice to their merits OF es-
TEEN? Or does it add to the dignity of
their daily activities? The conception of
our politicians of universal politics IS
meagre, they study the mean parts OF
their own convictions. Their actions and
teachings of civilization are mingled with
savegedom and heathenic pursuits, and
when finally remorse takes possession OF
them and they realize that %retrlbutlon is
about to pursue their vile actions, they
make |scrupulous plunges for life or death
in the institution of law suits, attempt
ing in the plumber for facts to excerpt
from the gospel truth, facts from the
document of their lives, which, when
summed up by fair minded persons. must
be dismissed to the credit of defendants.
We do not believe that it is JackSon's
intention to be a Simon Peter by trying
to give the labor Of men who are respon-
sible for his worldwide popularity a
kick. Are they not deceived in him for
not teaching them the.spirit of true broth
erhood, cooperation, appreciation of kind
ness and Cody love? Won't they be
more deceived in the near future with
the things which are bound to happen?
Must we stand and see ~ungratetul and
shameless actions with our eyes wide
open and pass them over? Let US remem-
Der that The Universe is upheld solely
by the Law Of Love. A majestic inVisl-
BILE Protectorate governs the winds, the

everything, from the sun to a grain OF
sand He hath a portion, smaEl or great,
of His own most PerfecJ Existence.
Should He hate His Creation, He must
perforce hate Himself; and that Love
should hate Love is an imposslbilI'y.
Therefore He loves all His work; and as

facts which are going to be produced?
Won't we get the people to turn out in

The Government in this case effectively

least some of the demand for booze in this
part of the country was being supplied. Stop
ping the liquor business at the source is the
most effective way of enforcing prohibition.
1t is much more effective than the popular
system of searching the homes of innocent per-

made the statement that he had an idea there
might possibly be a half pint of peach brandy
in that peculiar home.

The Highway SquabbIe

FRI HE gravel interests are fighting desper-
ately to retain the present highway com
mission The crushed stone interests are fight
ing just as desperately to depose the commits
sion. The reason, of course is that the high
way department uses gravel and not
crushed stone in the construction of hard. sur
face roads Whether gravel or crushed stone,
or both, should be specified the ordinary OBJ
server is not in position to say The only in
terest of the public is in seeing that the best
possible roads be constructed and maintained
at the lowest possible cost.
The indictments against highway DEPART
ment men and others brought in the Marion
County Criminal Court and the investigation
being made by the United States Government
have no connection whatever with the oues-
ton of the use of gravel or crushed stone.
This question is entirely beside the point. al
though some individuals and some publications
are attempting to make the public believe it is
involved
The question, and the only one. involved
IN the indictments and in the investigation is
that of the disposition made by the highway
department of used war material The denart-
Ono PoiihAoUou 10 pe sHlpped 10 Indiana huge
quantities OF material that could not conceiv
ably be used in the construction and mainte-
nance OF roads. Then the highway department
disposed of this material at ridiculouslv low
prices without competitive bids and mostly to
one concern.
The question of whether any law was viz.
lated in these peculiar transactions should be
Settled as speedily as possible. Public officials
ana the courts should not be. Influenced in anv
way by controversy between the gravel mon
and the stone men.

One-Way Streets

RTl OW they wish to eliminate the one-way
I'm traffic rule on N. Meridian ST. All this
agitation is caused by the fact that reckless
driver crashed head-on into the front of a
street car at Illinois st. and Indiana Ave. at
8 CLOCK the other morning.
1t is argued that elimination of one-way
traffic on Meridian St. will cut down speeding
1t probably will 1t will cut down speeding
because it will be impossible to drive rapidly
in a traffic jammed and confused two-way
street in the rush hours
Two-way traffic on Meridian st. during
the rush hours is far more dangerous than one
way driving at reasonable speed. In fair
ness it must be admitted that many motorists
are driving more than twenty-five miles an
hour on Meridian st. during the one-way
periods
Why not retain the one-way system and
require motorists to drive not more than TWEEN
ty-ive miles an hour?
