WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHDAY

One of the best ways to make people fine and
people who have shown splendid spirit The people
who read silly stories and see entertainments pre-
senting silly characters, tend to become light and
rifIin themselves But When their attention is called
TO famous and women, then they admire these
characters. When such admiration is excited it
helps people become little more like these fine
and splendid people.
1t is therefore important that national occasion
like Washington's birthday should not go by, with
out earnest effort to turn the thought of the
people toward his noble service and the matchless
wonderful time to to turn the thought of the
children toward higher aims
They always interested in the origin of our
public occasions If a school teacher make them
admire Washington's heroic exploits, they will feel
desire to emulate his character. Such desires
may be transient and seemingly amount to little
be influential in shaping youths point of view.
Not many characters have appeared pub
lie stage who showed such superb courage George
Washington did. Many times during the Revolution
airy war, most people would have said the patriotic
hopeless, considering the staggering diff
ficulties it had to encounter But Washington never
lost faith in the guidance of the divine power or in
the possibilities of the American people.

tiers upon his SEVENTEEN year. is

HIGH PRICES

Some people to think that in settling in
dustral controversies the question of the nr;e Maid
by the public is rather unimportant considerations
hut can not De thus set aside Back in 1920 people
went ahead and pushed their prices up without regard
70 the interests the rights of the public But the
result was that of indignation sweep, over the
country.
We had overalls parades, buyers strikes. etc
The result was general refusal to buy goods on the
part of millions of people. and largely as a conse
quenee of this feeling business depression set in The
producers must all the time consider whether the
price they are asking for goods win create popular
revolt not.
Prices are stll good deal below the level pre-
vailng in 1920 but they have shown some disposition
to advance of late which may be ominous of trouble
This be largely due the fact that agricultural
products are as a rule somewhat higher than they
were which may be inevitable owing to the special
needs of the farming class.
In the anthracite coal controversy, the effort
has been made to establish the principle that the uree
TO the consumer must not be permitted to go any
higher. 1t would be well if same principle could
be made to apply to all lines of production The con-
sumers. the farmers in particular paying good
deal more than they can afford to.
The idea seems to be held by certain groups of
wage-earners that If their employers are making too
much money. their wages should be advanced. This
may be called for in some cases. But rule what
Is needed most Is TO get prices down, which would
benefit all classes in the community and place bust
ness on more secure fousdstion.

The Police Shake-Up

XY7 ITH the city administration only little
lv more two weeks old, changes are being
made in the police department
In the first place, the city council abol-
ished the job of Inspector of detectives largely
as a means of getting at Michael j. Glenn, who
was appointed to that job by Mayor Duyall and
who did not have the approval of the council
The mayor, evidently having changed his mind
since the appointment was made signed the or
dance.
In abolishing the job of Inspector of detec-
tivss, regardless of its motive in doing so, the
council did the city service. There is no more
need for an Inspector of detectives than for
fifth wheel on an automobile. The department,
as the result of the action of the council, is
now in charge of Jerry Kinney as captain of
detectives Captain Kinney is an efficient Off
Ger of long experience. The department is in
good hands.
The only trouble with the council action is
that it did not go far enough. It should have
abolished the job of Inspector of traffic and put
the duties in the hands of a captain. The traf-
fc department is headed by an inspector and
the next ranking officer is lieutenant There
is even less need for an Inspector in the traffic
department than in the detective department.
Then the council might have gone further,
and still have been consistent and still have
been doing the city a service, and abolished the
job of Inspector of police The city got along
very well for n1mber of years without police
inspectors of any description. Results can be
accomplished by the cief Of police working d.
rectly with captains heading the three major
departments, uniform, traffic and detective
The police department does not need more
officers with high ranks and large salaries. It
does not need politicians holding these jobs
What it needs is active policemen working
close to the problem of enforcing the law
The council made one good step in abol-
ishing the job of Inspector of detectives It
simply didn't go far enough

SUPERVISOR
OF DETECTIVES

Il ICHAEL ]. Glenn, super
IMI visor Of detectives and one
@ Of the indianapolis police
department, had his job rudely
jerked out from under him by the
city council Monday night when,
in accordance with their an
nounced plan, they abolished the
post of supervisor.
Glenn's ability or lack of ability
for the Job of healing the city's
sleuthing bureau had nothing to
do with the councils action. TIe
hadn't occupied the place long
enough to demonstrate his fitness
or unfitness.
The action OF council members
was a move " their private
vendetta against him. They set
out to get him from purely par
tisan motives, not toNshake the de-
tective bureau into greater eff
ficiency.
Whether Michael retains his
post or takes the air in conse-
{ quence Of the councflmanic> push,
is immaterial to most citizens. The
sun win continue to shine oc-
casionally, spring will come. and
the birds will sing whatever his
fate.
But with a couple Of brutal, I'M
solved murders in the city in the
past week and an unidentified hit
and-run auto killer at large. there
is plenty of real sleuthing work
for the detective bureau without
distracting it with partisan squab-
bles and using it's head for a po-
litical football.

OLD SWINDLES
NEVER DIE

IN. r. PINE, Anderson, Ind,
IL grocer, recently received a
III letter offering him large
slice OF a hidden fortune If he
would send money to a certain adj
dress IN Spain to secure release of
a prisoner in a Spanish prison.
The old Spanish prisoner"
swindle. for Fleeing the lambs.
He didn't send the money. He
turned the letter over TO postal
authorities. So the mythical
chains.
A half century has passed since
this Spanish prisoner scheme was
launched. In its early years many
Americans were victimized by the
fraud. But now it is so old and
so well known that 1t seems i'm
possible that it could fool babe
in arms.
Nevertheless 1t does. It con-
tinues to rank high among Span
ish exports. Every little while a
letter Of the same. type as the
Anderson grocer received, turns up
in some Hoosier community. Some
where. sometime, somebody must
bite or the industry would quit
from lack of customers.
Like the good old jokes, the good
old swindles never die. They live
on and on-for. say the con men,
new sucker is born every min
ute. That must be so, If the
Spanish prisoner game still brings
in enough to pay postage.

The organization has for its OBJ

ing of evolution from all American
schools and colleges. the dismissal
of all teachers mentioning the Ia
boo theory, and establishment of
a home for elderly members who
grow old battling the apes. And
perhaps the collection of member

crusaders.
Perhaps all are worthy objects
