asked a man who carried a very obvious bulge
on his hip why he felt it was necessary for so
many men to carry guns and to wear horse
thief detective badges under their coats.
Because the police department has fallen
down and somebody has to do their job" was
his reply.
If the police department has fallen down
on the job, it is up to the citizens of Indian
apolis to get busy and see that it does its job.
This is entirely possible and it is the right way
to proceed.
Nothing but disaster can result from setting
1p a rival police department.

THE VISIT OF
LAFAYETTE

T~1E n l. r A L LAFAYETTE,
nj Revolutionary hero, in his
- triumphal tour of the coun-
try visited Indiana, May II. 1925.
Today the one hundredth an
niversary of that event is be-
ing celebrated with appropriate
ceremonies in Lafayette, Jefferson
Vile, and other communities
especially identified with the
visit.
A century Is not long. Doubt
less 1t seems long to an impatient
husband waiting for his wife to
dress for a social engagement or
theater. But it is only the time
required for the earth to whizz
around the sun a hundred times as
It has done millions of times be-
fore and will do again.
However, the n hundred years
that have elapsed since La
fayette's visit have done wonders
to Indiana.
Then n few Struggling towns in
the southern part were the Inn
portant centers of population and
commerce. Indianapolis, though
the capital, was only a backwoods'
settlement. The rest was a scarce
ly scratched wilderness.
Nevertheless the Hoosiers Of
that day were immensely proud Of
their strides in civilization and
culture. Compared with what 1t
had been a few years before, the
State, at the time Of Lafayette's
visit, seemed to have grown to full
maturity.
In reality instead of being a
finished job it was just in the
making. 1t was just on the
Threshold of the development of
its human and material resources.
Perhaps inhabitants today feel
that the State is made and has
reached amturity. But 1t is still
in the making. Inhabitants one
hundred years hence will look
back and regard the Indiana of
1925, as we regard the Indiana Of
1925. A State that ceases to be in
the making is worse than finished.
It is ready for burial.

With engine disabled and Oropel-
Ter out of commission, an airplane
piloted by Mitchell Kreider; Of Pitts
burgh, a professional flier, and
carrying one passenger who lives
in Washington, today was forced
down In pasture on the farm Of
Edward e. Bealmear. near Xix
ridge, Md.
Unable to check the speed Of the
plane, the pilot landed with such
force that the ship turned over,
pinning the men underneath. Farm
hands who saw the crash rushed
to the scene and finally extracted
the men.
Except for slight bruises, both
pilot and passenger were unhurt;
the plane suffered little damage.
After repairing the engine and pro-
peller, the filters expect to hop off
this afternoon.
The men left Boiling Field for
Philadelphia early today and ran
into heavy gusts of wind which
caught the plane and sent it down.
The pilot prepared to descend when
the engine went bad and all but
stopped. The propeller was also
thrown out Of gear and the plane

Fortunately. however, the engine
ran to such an extent that the
pilot was able to glide to a field.
