Why Catch Bandits and

SUFFICIENTLY aroused Indiana can

GERS in the State who aided in the capture of
Bridgewater not only got their man, but got
him with so much goods on him. that there
was nothing for him to do but march into
court and plead guilty.
If the police can round up a couple more
members of the gangs which have terrorized
banks in small towns and small banks in Indi-

be so eager to start on criminal careers.
It's pretty soft to stick up" small bank
and walk off with roll Of three or four thou
sand dollars with which to play poker and the
ponies for a few weeks. Being riddled by a
policemans automatic pistol or locked up for
ten years isn't so rosy. And much as we
may criticise police in the heat of crime wave,
police do catch bank robbers sometimes
Which leads to the thought that the whole
job isn't up to the police. There's body of
august gentlemen over at the Statehouse we
ought to remember when we re wondering
why the police DON t do something
The august body is the State board of
pardons. The board comes into this Bridge
water affair this way. In rounding up Bridge
water the local police also arrested Clint Sims.
Indianapolis remembers Sims as one Of the
gang which robbed the Beech Grove bank sew
eral years ago. The gentlemen at the State
house decided Clint had reformed and let him
out of prison.
No one appears to know whether Clint
Sims was up to his old tricks but according to
detectives Clint Is company was not exactly
above reproach.

Fitness Is Consideration
Every wife should not bear chill
dren. Many fine women are mar
ried to men who are neither physic-
ally nor morally fit to be fathers,
and countless wives are not strong
enough themselves to bring sturdy
children into the world.
1t is idotic for us to go on prating
about more children until we have
learned to care for those whom we
now have. It is silly to assert that
women who do drudging work in
dire poverty should be mothers; 1t
is still more foolish to insist that
the rich always be prolific, because
in many cases the wealthy are least
fitted Of any of us to make good
parents.
The woman, who being married,

or who believes that she will not be

Too Many UnIoved
The world, is already overstocked
with unloved children-too many
unwanted, neglected babies-too
many poor little tots who have ev.
erything else in life but intelligent
parental care. Babies are not like
hogs and calves and chickens. They
must have something else save food
to exist properly; life means more
to them than mere breathing. We
have no right to usher them into
a world only for poverty and death.
