Buying the Mayors
Office

TTlHE present argument among candidates
| l and their friends over the subject of
how much it costs to elect mayor of Indian
the political system and substituting therefor
the business-like city manager plan of city
government.
The controversy started when Mayor
Shank, who has the faculty of being just little
more frank than most politicians declared that
100000 would be spent in the present con-
test for mayor. He said he spoke from expert
ence
Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth, one Of the Re-
publican candidates, and the candidate who
worked hard to defeat the city manager move
ment through wholly unwarranted attack on
the manager law, replies to the effect that not
more than per cent of the 100000 will be
spent in his behalf He admits that some
$4,000 will be spent to elect him to job which
is supposed to be one of public service for
which he would receive $500 year
Lew replies that unless Wilmeth spends
more money than that he will not be elected
And for once in his life Lew is right 1t takes
money to be elected mayor of Indianapolis un-
der the present system and the candidate with
the most money to spend usually is successful
regardless of his qualifications or lack of quail
6cations.
Does Indianapolis want mayor who has
bought his way to the job or does it want one
who has been selected because of his qualifica.

Once before he trickled out of that
jug. and has a record Of eight es-
capes from penal institutions.
Hardly n day passes but some
one-usually a more or less des-
perate character whom the law is
especially anxious to hold-es-
capes from an Indiana Jail or
prison.
Perhaps all ordinary precau-
tons are observed TO prevent these
jail deliveries. But the manage
ment of the average Hoosier jail
must be lax when an energetic
desperate with the aid Of bent
hairpin or a confederate can es-
cape so easily.
OF course. IL may be discour-
teous to watch prisoners closely.
However, loclkups have another
function than merely to play 1T
in games of hide-and.seek with
criminals.
There would be fewer in-again-
out-again- performances
around them If officials in charge
regarded them more seriously as
places of detention and less as
sources Of fees.

"They stretch across France and Bel

Gin Switzerland there is one cemetery
at Vevey, where the remains of British pris-

been gathered together
'The chain continues across Italy
where there are in all ninety-three ceme-

kans and the Greek islands, where there are
twenty-five cemeteries and down the Gal

two; through Palestine, where there are ten
passing over the Mount of Olives ITSELF then
branching. off south through Egypt, where
there are nine, into East Africa, where there
are forty, and eastward to Iraq where there
are seven.
"Then the chain extends across the
north of India to China, where there is a
cemetery at Tsingtao, and twenty three other
scattered burial grounds, to Australia and
New Zealand, across Canada and back to
the United Kingdom, where there are more
than $1,000 graves in some $500 church
yards and cemeteries. There are fifty other
countries, off the track followed, where Brit
ish war graves have been found. "
So, without boasting, the tragic story
runs In it is much to make any Briton proud
but there is also in it much to make the boar
sick

NEW YORK. April 1s.-Are New
Workers Americans? That question
is on a par with Alice Duer Miller's

At any rate consider the sixteen
boys selected by the New York
board of education for merit, study,
initiative and leadership as the
group from which one was selected
to meet President Coolidge as the

The nationalities represented In
the list of sixteen are italian, Aus

Brazilian, Cuban. Argentine. Czecho'

With the selection limited to that
group, you can see that 1t was Inn

economic conditions. Stories of
miserable mothers stealing loaves
Of bread for starving babies are
touching, but are usually fiction.
Petty criminals pursue their ac-

because Of moral obliquity. Their
wishbones dominate their back

voluntarily. For every Oliver

Many shoplifters and other Of

wasted: 1t isn't tears they need,

T~7ISHOP LEETE of Indian

This practice. the Bishop de-

Competition is the life OF trade.
Apparently some ministers are
carrying that idea into the pulpit.
Many of them seem to be busii-

They reduce their pastorates to

Attendance and collection at

vitality, important to them. If there
is a decrease in the church's Gus

campaigns to SELL the church

In America success Is COM
monty measured by the size of

ministers should measure their
success by the size of their col

OF course the bigger the con.

the minister.
However. size Is not all in
