luton offered by the Rev. DR.. John
Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Bap-
tist Church of New York, affirming
that baptism by immersion is the only

dick, who accepted the pulpit on the
church's agreement not to insist upon
baptism by immersion.
At today's meeting of the New York

Twomey of Newark, n. j.. also offered
a resolution which says, Scholars of
Christendom agree that the true in
depreciation of baptism is to i'm
merse"; but adds that 1t is a Symbol
subordinate to the vital real ties of
Christlike spirit and moral character"
Four ministers signed this resolution.
Action on the two resolutions was
postponed after Mr.. Twomey had told

washing of dirty linen. and If there is

In a performance that could, but
be likened to a symphony in song,
Cyrena Van Gordon last night at the
Murat pleased her audience to such
a degree that 1t was a real effort to
take oneself away after a delight
fun hour and half, spent in listen
ing to this talented woman sing.
Although her program contained
numbers that were very difficult and
hard, it was with the simpler things
that Miss Van Gordon won her
greatest applause.
In one encore was the personality
Of the artist expressed to the full.
1t was a simple melody, negro folk
song OF the old South. "Lindy Lou"
No fire, no soaring notes, just little
air that seemed to breathe of the old
magnolias and honeysuckle vines
which the melody mentions. Her
voice soft and lowered to the Groom
ing melody, you were carried away
into the land of which the artist
sang.
On the prog ram was another song
Of somewhat similar type, 1.-THE Old

gestive Of Old England.

EEAYOR-ELECT DUvALL has
IM announced his choice for
0 chief Of police. inspector Of
police, and supervisor of traffic
three Of the high posts In the In
dianapohs police department-un-
der his administration.
The appointments, no doubt.
satisfy the political requirements
Of the hour and redeem after a
fashion the campaign promise to
appoint an experienced policeman
to head the department. But
where does 1t leave the merit
system7 No place to go but out.
The new chief has been on the
force for fifteen years and now
holds the rank Of lieutenant. The
appointee to the post of inspector
is a former police sergeant once
dropped from the force in con-
sequence of charges before the
board Of safety.
The newly chosen supervisor Of
traffic is a special investigator in
Criminal Court, not a policeman.
Last spring he attracted passing
notice by a purchase Of Oriental
rugs.
Perhaps all three of these APP
pointees are competent, capable
men, who will discharge their new
duties with great credit to them
selves and will run the local
banditry ragged.
But what would be the morale
and effectiveness of our national
defense forces If an incoming
President should put a second
lieutenant at the head Of the
United States Army? If he should
make a court-martialed noncom
chief Of staff, and elevate a court
officer to head of the aviation
branch?
That's exactly the sort Of thing
that Is done with the Indianapolis
police department at every change
Of mayors. Mayor-elect Duvall, in
his appointments, is merely follow
ing the custom Of his predecessors,
politicians all. That is the basic
reason the Indianapolis police de-
partment functions only in spots.
The spoils system won't permit it
to do otherwise.

same mileage will be paved next
year.
That's quite an addition of pave
ment to the State road system.
But no more activity in road build
ing than other States are mani
Testing.
Fourteen States Of the Middle
West have constructed 5000 miles
Of hard-surface highways this year
at a cost Of $4,000. 900. Road
projects completed in a single year
would make two hard-surfaced
highways extending from the At
lantic to the Pacific, with a lot OF
mileage left over
Yet in these fourteen States
there are over 100000 miles Of
roads remaining in their natural
ly sinful, unimproved state. And
Of the 100000 miles of roads in
the United States, less than $780,
900 miles have been paved or sur
faced.
Even in Indiana, which has &
greater percentage Of improved
highways than any other State in
the Union, there are 10000 miles
of roads yet to improve. OF the
States highways classified as
hard-surfaced, only a minor frac-
ton is concrete or other perma-
nent pavement.
Most Of the mileage improved is
gravel or crushed stone. And it
is being proved every day that
gravel and crushed stone roads
are as ephemeral as a maiden's
hss-here today and gone tomor-
row.
Road building has just started
in the United States. It will be
the chief function OF Indiana's
State government for the next
contingencies the population
takes to the air.
