To Make II
10O26

| HIS llCCle eulJOr1dl is Delng
written to promote the eff
cheney of the party organization.
1t should be a matter of pride for
every party member and every
party functionary to do his or her
utmost to make the party ma
chinery work effectively.
The party is facing the fact
that only three hundred out of
eleven hundred party function
aries have worked efficiently in
carrying out a simple party task
the collection of the United
Labor Ticket Assessment Of fifty
cents from the members of the
party.
There is still an opportunity
for those secretaries of party
nuclei who have not attended to
this work to snake good" The
period for the payment Of the
assessment has been extended to
August Is. That will make three
months which will have elapsed
from the time the stamps were
sent to the secretaries. During
the ten days which remain the Sec
retaries who have not carried out
their duties in regard to this
assessment can secure a 1907
return, IF THEY MAKE A
REAL EFFORT.
The units Of the party today are
smaller than before the reorgan-
ization. 1t is a comparatively
simple matter for the secretary of
those nuclei which have not paid
the assessment to call upon the
members during the ten days re-
naming between now and August
18th.
We ask these secretaries to
make a real effort to secure a.
1O09o collection.
This is how to do il.
Make a list Of those members
of the nucleus who have not paid
the assessment. The list will prob
ably not contain more than five or
six or at most ten names.
The secretary should call at the
home of each one of these mem
bers. Tell them of the Importance
of paying the assessment to keep
in good standing in the party;
that 10O% collection of fifty
cents from each member will
create a fund to help the party
drive forward in its work of
developing a united labor ticket
and independent political action
by the workers.
Collect the assessment.
Remit the payments of the mem
bers of the nucleus to the Ma
tionaI Office.
If the nucleus is large another
member or two can be drafted to
help in making the rounds of those
who have not paid.
The visiting of the members of
the nucleus will not only secure
a 1907 collection of the assess
ment. 1t can be made the means
of drawing inactive members back
into the party work. 1t will help
to build a better party organiza-
ton.
This is not a big job which we
are suggesting. Every party
nucleus secretary can carry it
thru without any great sacrifice.
But it Is thru the efficient eeecu-
tion Of such little jobs that the
party organisation is strengthen
ed and built IN.

But Watch Out for Police
When You Steal Eats and

Boosting he had run away from
home twelve times in the last two
years, Carl Moreland, u, told police
today it was "easy," despite the
hazard of being captured by authori-
ties to make his way from Hunting
ton, w. Va, to Indianapolis, a dis
tance of about $50 miles by the
route he travelled.
"Fhe police hazard is great, too, in
view of the fact I ate at restaurants
before informing the proprietors I
was broke Then, often, l travelled
on interurbans until the conductor
put me off because l lacked a tick
et," he said
After getting off interurbans the
boy said he walked or "bummed"
rides from motorists. He avoided
freight trains, he said
THE railroad dicks watch us fell
lows pretty close" he told Juvenile
Court Officer Charles Downey.
He was found lettering by a po-
liceman, who called Downey. The
juvenile court officer took the boy
to the Detention Home and wired
Moreland's S parents.
This grieved Carl, who said his
father threatened to send him to
the reform school If he ever ran
away from home again.
A desire to see the world prompt
cd his adventurous trip, he said.
II can have a. lot more fun by my
self than going to school," Downey
was told. Carl said he was in the
seventh grade.
En- route here the boy was put in
the Detention Home at Cincinnati
and enlisted the aid Of his uncle
Luther Carl Kohre. a Cincinnati po,
liceman, to secure his release. Kohre
took him to his home and wired his
sister to come after the boy. Await
ing her, Carl ran off and came to
Indianapolis.

show by positive acts that the de-
fendant intended to prevent dis

ACTION IN PARK
BOARD CONFLICT
Asserts He Is Willing to
Leave Matter to Public
Opinion.

Mayor Duvall today defended his
action of deposing Emsley w. John
son as park board president. while
attorneys for johnson appealed to
Marion Circuit Court for an early
trial Of their quo warranto pro-
ceedings. filed to prevent Clarence 1.
Baker, named by Duvall to succeed
Johnson, from taking office.
Judge Harry o. Chamberlain told
the attorneys a trial date would be
decided on Monday at 1870 p. m.
Il am willing" said Duvall. ito
leave the matter to public opinion
that the mayor certainly has the
right TO know what his various
boards are planning and how they
are functioning.
Cooperation Assured
When l became mayor, park
board members assured me that
they would either work in harmony
end cooperation with the administra-
ton or they would resign. Mr.. John
son and Mr.. Manly Crank p. Man
ly, board member supporting John
som, were most emphatic in their
assurances. Their acts since. as
members Of the board under my ad-
ministration, however, raises the
question of their sincerity in the
matter
AT no time since became mayor
have the park board members, with
the single exception of Mr.. John e.
Minor, consulted me voluntarily re-
garding park board affairs.
This is not a personal matter. I
have no personal feeling against any
Of these gentlemen"
Answered. by Johnson
Duvall's threat to bring to light
past park board misdeeds in his
cam paign to remove Johnson and
Manly and Albert M. Mcguire, other
board members, was answered by
ions of national experts praising the
efficiency Of the local parks system.
ut Is strange the mayor did not
find out we were so extravagant
and inefficient until after he wrote
the resignation letter and after he
learned that the park board as un-
able to place all the employees and
laborers that he demanded be
placed" Johnson said.
Forced resignation of park board
members was opposed by Chamber
Of Commerce directors in a resolu-
ton adopted Friday.
