On all sides these days one hears persistent grum bling and worrying about the hard times and general lack of activity in lhe town and about the district, and one gathers the general imp resSion that ruin, disastrous and sure, is slowly descending on our fair burg.

IN "honors group" is the new
"A est departure in scientific ed
- ucation. 1t has just been or
ganized in the electrical engineering
Institute of Technology, one of the
leading scientific institutions of the
world.
The plan has been worked out as
the result of feeling which is prev
alent not only at this school but at
many colleges and universities
throughout the country.
There is a feeling, both on the
part Of faculty members and stu
dents, that college rules are too iron
clad, that students are too much re-
stricted by the mechanical details
of the curriculum and that there is
not sufficient room for the develop
ment Of individual talents and abil-
ity.
In other words there is a feeling
that colleges are being turned into
glorified high schools and that the
brilliant student cannot branch out
for himself while in college, but
must wait until he has finished col
lege ana entered a graduate school
where individualized research is
possible.

used by the toiling masses.
Meanwhile, Pleasant Run Blvd,
so much desired by south side resi-
dents, is no nearer completion than
it was a year ago. A few of the
houses condemned for the project
were auctioned off by the versatile
mayor; otherwise, the undertaking
slumbered. And the Delaware st.
bridge, opened almost a year ago,
is still without suitable approaches.
In various sections of the city
are other public improvement prof.
ects, begun with enthusiasm by
municipal authorities, that haven't
jelled.
Unfortunately delayed and half
completed public undertakings are
Of little benefit to the taxpayers
who foot the bills for them. Mu-
nicipal authorities would contrib
ute more to the joy and comfort
of the average citizen if they
would push to completion
the public improvements they have
started instead of always looking
around for new worlds to conquer
and more blueprints to prepare.

Dry Debate Talk

17 LII this talk about debating the question
la Of prohibition is idle. Indiana was dry
before Federal prohibition. 1t made dry
because the Legislature as representatives of
the people voted it dry. The Eighteenth
amendment was not forced upon us and it's en-
actment did not change the Indiana situation a
particle.
Prohibition is not an issue in Indiana. The
present controversy concerns methods used in
the name of prohibition enforcement. 1t con-
Germs wholly illegal violations of the rights of
innocent citizens.
Let S keep the record straight. When the
bill of rights is put back into effect in Indiana
it will be time enough to talk about the right
or wrong of prohibition.

Hamlet i'm a Tuxedo

I'D |OBERT MANTELL, noted Shakespearian
~ actor, rehearsed Hamlet in modern at
tire here last week. This week in st. Louis he
and his company, for the first time on the
American stage, will tell the tragic story of
that Danish prince with modern trimmings.
Hamlet will wear a tuxedo instead of
prlncely garments as he soliloquizes; the king,
his father, will deport himself in full eveniny
dress array, and Ophela, the unfortunate
maiden to whom love brought insanity, will
wear 1925 model knee length gown
But what does it matter? Emotions are

is as bitter in overalls as in tuxedo Love
bites just as hard the imitation silk attire j:

nlckels and dimes culled from already to

And undoubtedly Miss Hamper, who is to
play Ophelia with shortened skirts has count
ed the costs. For undoubtedly 1925 model
gown will display much of milady's person
which in the days of Ophelia was not regarded
as part of miladys charm which might be
realized on in public.
Today, it would SEEM amorous maidens

Modern society has its Ophelias whose
lives drag on through divorce courts de.

IN the tragedy of death.
In indianapolis within the last year scores
OF girls have attempted to end their lives with
poison. A few have succeeded. Scores of
girls and women have been dragged through
the courts of the city and county, paying tie
penalty OF loving unwisely instead of we'll.
And SO it would seem, although much has
changed, much is still as it was a Thousand
years ago.
There are Hamlets walking the streets of
indianapolis today-a few in tuxedo, MANY in
business suits and overalls And every dance
hall has its potential Ophelias

The Snub Direct

T is time for us citizens of Indiana to be-
gin taking stock of our difficulties and to
set about to retain the fair name OF the State.
Stories of conditions in this State, many of
them exaggerated but most with basis OF
fact, are being spread about the country. They
are having most detrimental effect.
The failure or refusal, of nearly all the
Dixie highway tourists to come through lndl-
ana, the original starting point of the highway,
in their tour celebrating the tenth birthday OF
the road should shock Hoosiers into immedl-
ate action Only five of the big party attended
the banquet given for them Friday night. The
remainder of the party in more than fifty au-
tomobiles, detoured through Illinois
There is no use of ignoring the facts. There
is no use Of printing a glowing account OF the
banquet, leaving out only the fact that the visi-
tors numbered only five persons That is not
being honest with ourselves. We must face the
facts in order to remedy conditions that have
brought them about.
Of course, the Dixie highway tourists
would not have been molested. They were
coming in party as guests of the State. They
knew they would not be molested and they
in Indianapolis and other cities. But they did
not come. It was snub direct, and we citi-
zens Of Indiana are responsible.
Other motorists who come through Indi-
ana are just as much guests of the State as
were the Dixie highway tourists, but so many
of them have been subjected to annoyances,
mostly by self-appointed police officers that
some motor organizations outside Indiana have
seen fit to warn them to avoid the State. In
diana is natural crossroads of the Nation, and
we should be reaping the advantages of that
fact, from purely selfish motive, if for no
other reason
Laws should be enforced, but the enforce
ment should be accomplished by regularly con-
stituted peace officers and, above all else they
should be enforced through the use Of COM
mon sense

CLEANING UP
THE "AVENO0"

~1HIEF RTKHOFF, following
IL complaints that gambling,
~ vice, high crimes and mis-.
demeanors flourished along In
diana Ave-. a couple Of days ago
ordered an immediate cleanup of
that district famed in song and
story as the brunei Tenderloin of
Indianapolis.
Twenty-four hours passed. then
1t was announced that the ave
moo" was purified. Police reported
that the gambling joints and soft
drink places, with hard liquor and
sporting sidelines, had closed. The
only bones rafting in the district,
they said, were the teeth of the
scared joint proprietors.
Probably police reports on the
suddenly improved conditions were
over-sanguine. The well-known
'avenoo" night life is too hardy
to be extinguished by a single
temporary shower Of policemen.
But if. in response to a cleanup
order, it is so easy TO effect a
noticeable Improvement in conN-
tions in twenty-four hours we
wonder why the cleanup wasn't &C.
complished long ago. Why did
the officers have to wait until
they We're prodded into activity by
eXtraneous influences?
To an innocent bystander it APP
pears that the Indianapolis police
department seldom moves Of it's
own volition-it is pushed from
one activity to another.
After a couple of banks are
robbed sawed-off shotguns are
distributed and the officers are in
structed, in a ringing proclama-
ton, to get the bank bandits
dead or alive" For a week the
whole force chases bank bandits.
Then a midnight marauder at
tacks women and terrorizes a
neighborhood for several success
sive nights. BY special edict the
whole force is put baying on his
trail. Then, as result Of
couple of traffic accidents, head
quarters orders a war on speeders.
Life to an Indianapolis police
man is just one campaign after
another interspersed with periods
of lethargy. Fewer spectacular
cleanups, to the accompaniment of
braying trumpets and red fire, and
more insistence on the daily per-
Torrance of daily duties would
give the city more efficient force.

WILL SEND
THEM H0ME

O7UPT. A. f. MILES, of the
Indiana Reformatory at
. IL Pendleton, has advised
United States immigration author
tiles that he has twenty-eight
alien prisoners in his institution
that he is empowered to turn over
to them for deportation. The Gov
ernor recently suggested such
action.
II the plan is acceptable to
Federal officials it will be extended
to other State penal institutions.
In the Michigan City penitentiary
there are, it is estimated, seventy
five prisoners of foreign birth and
not naturalized who could thus be
sent back to their native lands.
On the face of it the plan seems
to offer good radiance of I'M
desirables, as well as make room
behind the bars for our home
grown Hoosier criminals. But will
it succeed?
Only prisoners without wives or
dependents in this country can
thus be deported. Otherwise the
dependents might become trouble
some public charges and subjected
to unnecessary suffering.
OF the twenty-eight aliens at
Pendleton whose deportation is
planned none has dependents. But
only eight are from European
countries. Twenty are Canadians
and Mexicans. What's to hinder
these coming right back into this
country within n couple of days
after being forcibly elected?
They might be right back in In
diana in less than a week, with
out much danger of being
molested by the outraged civil
authorities. The latter aren't
very likely to apprehend an OBJ
scure deported alien criminal who
fails to stay deported. They didn't
even catch Dutch Anderson, Clara
Carl or other famous fugitives
from justice.

during the season. So, in a way,
the attendance figures of the State
parks are not especially impress
i've.
But the increase in visitors
over the previous year attests the
growing popularity of these State
owned preserves.
Only in recent years have
States made serious effort to de-
velop park systems. Indiana has
made start toward saving a few
unspoiled fragments of the States
natural beauty for future Hoosiers.
With the acquisition Of the Dunes
tract and the proposed park on
the shores of Lake James in
Steuben County it's park system
will compare favorably with that
of any other State.
Perhaps the system will not add
to the wealth or prosperity of In
diana for the profits of State parks
are esthetic and sentimental not in
dollars and cents. But the devel-
opment of suitable tracts now will
insure public Fairgrounds for flu
ture generations and will give
them untold pleasure.
Wild land in it's natural state in
Indiana is rapidly succumbing to
the relentless march of civilization.
In a few years it will have dis
appeared. Population, automobiles
and good roads will dominate the
landscape.
In estimating the value of our
State parks the number of WIS.,
itors they attract in 1850 will mean
more than the 1925 attendance.
