"Of Course, It's Bad"

IN the midst Of the storm and strife over
l prohibition with the thirsty heckling the
prohibitionsts and the prohibitionists heckling
the Government, Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon has made this brief statements
Efforts have been made all over the
country to enforce prohibition. We have tried
to enforce the law to the fullest extent Of our
capacity and ability. General Andrews has
reorganized the entire prohibition service, and
he has found the very best men to carry out the
law.
''Of course, the situation. is bad But that
is just what we are trying to correct. There
are evidences where the law apparently is not
being enforced; but it is just because there are
such evidences that every effort is being made
by the administration.

More School Building
Delay

HDOLPH EMHARDT, member of the
tEAI school board, is quoted as asking that in
asmuch as the construction Of the Shortridge
High School has been considerably delayed
already, what harm there can be in further
delay
The mere fact that the school building
program, not only as it concerns Shortridge,
but as it concerns the proposed colored high
school, the west side high school and grade
school buildings, has been so long delayed is
the best argument against further delay.
The outstanding fact, the fact that must
never be lost sight Of in this school problem, is
the fact that Indianapolis MUST have more
school facilities and must have them at the
earliest possible moment.
Despite Mr. Emhardt's objection to going
ahead with the program at this time, we feel
that some progress has been made. The State
tax board has indicated that it will not be par
ticularly hostile to new school buildings for In
dianapolis, although it has left the way open
to block the whole program if it sees fit.
Fred Sims, attorney for the Indiana Tax
payers Association assures us that all but one
Of the remonstrances against the Shortridge
bond issue favor a new Shortridge, We do not
know who the one remonstrator he refers to is,
but certainly he seems to have considerable in
fuence demonstrating against bond issue for
new high school building would not be our
idea Of way Of bringing about the erection
\ Of that building.
While we still believe that the Taxpayers
Association is seriously handicapping the
progress of school building in Indianapolis, it
must be admitted that the school board itself
has not acted as rapidly as it might.
The school board went before the tax
board Saturday without complete plans and
Specifications for the new Shortridge. Thus the
school board was greatly handicapped, for it
had nothing with which to clinch its argument.
ls The history Of school building in Indian
apolis has been a story Of constant delays, argu-
ments and fractional fights. This would not be
SO bad if it were not for the fact that the
children of Indianapolis who are entitled to
public school education and who are entitled
to receive that education in decent and we'll
equipped buildings, are the ones who suffer.
lS If the Indiana Taxpayers Association is
sincere in it's desire to obtain new school build
ings-a feeling which it has taken mighty
poor way Of indicating-and the school board
majority is equally sincere, there is hope that
after all indianapolis may have some new
buildings without too much delay. All this in
spite of the unfortunate fact that the muddle
is in the hands of the tax board which, judging
by past experience, is not particularly sympa-
Ghetto with the efforts of the children of In
dianapolis to become educated.
.s But indianapolis MUST have adequate
school facilities-in spite of members of the
school board in spite Of the Taxpers Associa-
tion and in spite of the tax board. The citi-
zens of Indianapolis, working together, are
bigger force than all these combined

for "fair and impartial trial, appealed to the
supreme court of capitalism, and as long as the
unions accept the idea of trying to win by playing
capitalisms own game according to capitalism's
own rules, the railroad quite properly expects the
unions to abide by the verdict.
The verdict was, of course that the Pennsylvania
railroad have all the company unions it
wants, and even the best lawyers that Bert Jewell
or "Bill" Green can hire, can do nothing about
it any more.
This is the legal verdict. This is the net result

selves run the government can they expect to
abolish the abuses they suffer from employers. 1t
happens, moreover, that the only way the workers
can get hold of the government is by overthrowing

"Next Thing to a Coal Miner"

Everett Sanders, according to the personal organ
of John L. Lewis, the United Mine Workers
Journal, has put the miners on the map by becom-
ing secretary to President Coolidge.
Congressman Everett Sanders, of Terre Haute
Indiana, says the Journal ''is next thing to coal
miner" He comes from family of miners but
he is a successful lawyer"
In laudatory vein, the editor tells how this
ersatz coal miner became member of congress just
in time to vote for the declaration of war against
the central powers of Europe"
This ought to bring loud outburst of applause
from the miners who were conscripted while this
one-haf of one per cent "cOal MINER drew $500
per year in Washington.
1t seems that the gentlemen in question in addi-
ton to almost being a coal miner, had a hair
breadth escape from being vice-president, as the
Miners Journal also states that che came near be-
ing nominated" at the republican convention.
1T is easy to read between the lines that the coal
miners did not even come near getting anything
by reason of the support given Coolidge by their
officials unless the appointment of "near" coal
miner as secretary to the president can be con-
sidered something substantial. No doubt it is
for the officials
3sAnyway, it is well to know that the United Mine
Workers officialdom is so shamelessy corrupt that
it dares to praise the lawyer secretary of strike
