 The past year has seen the cX- ransion of the physical department with a program of activities unsur- passed by any association in the state. The only factor which keeps the gymnasium from serving many more men and boys is the present limitation of space. The boys work has been more varied in activities and greater In its influence upon the youth of the city than ever before. The social and religious program has reached many men and boys and added to their moral life, The in- dustrial activities have been the best since the council was organized six years ago.

What Are Ford'S Plans

Why does Mr.. Ford close his plant
temporarily? He says It is ito bal
ance the stock" but what does that
mean?
The automobile situation with TO
gard to low priced cars has obvi-
ously reached a critical state.
Not only Is Ford finding sitter
competition than he has yet had to
meet, but the market Is becoming
saturated.
It is rumored that Edsel Ford
has long tried to tell his father that
production could not be increased
as it had been in the past, that the
market offered no such a percentage
of new corners and that the business
would have to settle down TO a re-
placement basis.
There are other rumors, too, sug-
costing curtailment of forces, the in
PRODUCTION of new and improved
machinery, the appearance Of a six
cylinder car and a revision Of the
marketing system, but they are en-
phatically denied.
Perhaps the most interesting point
in it all is that this shutdown, no
matter wat 1t means, should come so
soon after the announcement of a
fiye-day week for Ford employees.

A MATTER OF MORALS

II for no other reason, the purpose of the cor
poration counsel t orecover interest Barrett law
funds should succeed in the general furtherance OF
good morals to say nothing of good government
1t is bad for any to have money for which
he gives nothing IN return
The son of many a rich man has discovered this
at the end of a life of ease and satisfaction
Those who boldly plumber their way through
life have been given various names, according 70
their methods.
1t is just as bad to give man money without
any corresponding return, even under the law, as
it is for him to take it by stealth or boldness
In this particular matter, the treasurer of
Marion County, no matter who he has been, has
been able to get about $4,000 for which his only
service seems to have been to send clerk to the
Senk and direct bookkeeper to make few entries
public records.
The courts will decide the legality of this sort
Of system which has made many rich and
given some who have gone on to other offices
Father distorted idea of public service.
But the grave immortality of the system.
if held legal, is beyond controversy.
The Barrett law governs the funds raised by
special assessments for public improvements Into
that fund go the payments made by owners of small
homes
The treasurer puts these funds into the bank
Ehere he happens to have deposit in which
1S has a particular interest
The banks are glad to get the deposits and pay
interest upon them.
There is claim that the money belongs in
any manner to the treasurer. But he has drawn,
for his personal benefit, the interest paid by the
banks
There seems to be some confusion to just
who should get the interest Perhaps the banks
could settle that question by refusing to pay any
interest at all OF course it is likely that some other
bank willing to pay divide, would have the
deposit
1t is from this situation that the treasurers have
been given money each year than is paid to
the President, and far, has yet suggested
that there has been any service of any nature in
return
That is the bad morals of the situation, really
bad morals Aside from this it is corrupting the
general political situation. Men tempted by these
huge sums, not always careful of their political
conduct They have become distinctly menacing to
good government
Perhaps the next Legislature will take the
trouble to clear up the situaton-or will these very
concrete rewards be sufficient to dull the good
and sense of honesty of the members of that body?
VIII the bosses permit the law to be clarified?
Ii not, why?

Conscience F aIIS

We have drugged ourselves with
the idea that conscience can be de
pended on to bring forth the guilty
where human blood is concerned, but
this, too, is an illusion.
Somewhere there is a conscience
that should have told who cut Flor
ence Browns throat in a Dallas Of
fee building twelve years ago. There
is a conscience, also, that should
have forced confession from the
brute who beat Mrs. Aaron Silberg
to death IN Cleveland. BY the same
token there Is a conscience. and
probably more than one. that could
disclose who shot the Rev Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor r
Mills.
Conscience simply does not work
on the criminal mind in the way we
would like to believe, for the very
simple reason that where there is
a lively conscience there can't be a
criminal mind.
The first thing a murderer does is
to kick his conscience under the
table and forget he ever had one.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-12-04

1t wasn't the judge. or the jury,
or the prosecution that failed in the

that came in contact with IT, and
who fiddled away their time while

Like everything else. enforcement
OF the law depends on men in the
ranks.

Radicals F all

Radicals had a poor chance with
American labor, not only because Of
their political views, but because
they have proved incompetent and
unreliable as leaders.
The textile strikers of Passaic,
N. j., found it necessary to repudiate
radical leadership, and the striking
garment workers of New York are
now taking a similar step.
Radicalism, as the term is gener-
ally used, has nothing In common
with American labor. The former
vizualizes a wholly different social
and political system from that pre-
vailing in this country. The latter
seeks no more than justice under
existing conditions.
AS a matter of fact, American
trade unionism constitutes one of
the strongest and one of the most
dependable bulwarks we have
against against red propaganda. So
long as IL continues, the third inter
rationale will find no favor with the
workers of this country.
Business men would do well to
keep this point in mind, to remem-
Der that where there are masses of
employees, there is bound to be or
ganization, that whatever may be
said of 1t, our trade unionism is
strictly in line with the social and
political principles of this Govern
ment, that if it should break down
some kind of an organization would
axe its place and that, considering
the general drift of events, radical
ism of rank and violent kind would
probably play a dominant part.
