Bowman Petitions Connect
ing Riverside and
BrightWood.

In answer to what he character
lies a persistent public demand for
cross-town transportation service in
Indianapolis A. Smith Bowman,
Peoples Motor Coach Company pres
ident, today asked the public serv-
ice commission to re-route his Riv-
erside line in a way that will afford
practically continuous service be-
tween the Brightwood neighborhood
and Riverside.
'It Is just the thing the public
has been clamoring for" Bowman
declared in announcing resump-
ton OF his fight for recognition by
the commission. Repeatedly we
have sensed the public demand and
responded with a proposal to meet
the need, and each time we have
seen our idea gobbled up by the
competitor. We have contributed the
idea and our competitor has been
allowed to provide the service"
Would Reroute
Bowman's new line, as proposed.
would go north on Delaware st. to
Thirtieth st. and then east to
Adams st. The Riverside line, which
now runs north on Delaware st. to
Twenty Eighth st. and west to Tai
bott. would be rerounted to turn
west at Delaware and Thirtieth SITS.
Incoming passengers on the east
portion of the proposed line would
be given free transfers to ride on
the west part Of the Riverside route,
and vice versa, making a complete
cross-town service between Bright
wood and Riverside Park. The same
free transfer system would be ef-
fective between Riverside and points
on the Central ave. line north of
Thirtieth st.
II the coach company's petition
to establish a Thirty Eighth St.-Keyt
stone Ave. line is approved subse-
quentlya free transfer system win
be inauSurated for cross-town rides
at Thirtieth and Bellefontaine Sts.,
Bowman said.
For Golfers
THE purpose in mind is 70 afford
residents OF north Indianapolis di-
rect transportation to the numerous
golf courses in and about Riverside
Park" Bowman said. During the
summer months It is the plan to
have through service between Sher-
mar DR.. and Riverside" he added.
Bowman is awaiting a hearing on
his proposed Thirty Eighth St.-Key-
stone Ave. line. The commission
heard the III dianapolis Street Rail-
way Companrs petition for the
same route Monday, although it was
filed several days after Bowman's.
Action on the two petitions is being
withheld pending hearing on Bow
mans.
Bowman aud his attorneys ap-
peared ct the commission today to
protest against petition for the rail-
way company to start feeder bus
line in Twenty-Fifth ST.. between
Martindale Ave. and Dearborn st.
Bowman offered to yield If the
street railway would establish the
east terminal of its feeder line at
Oxford st. instead of Dearborn. Bow
mans Brightwood line crosses
Twenty-Fifth st. at Dearborn. and
he said service would conflict.

Capital Reduced

Several Indiana banks have met
the crisis by reducing their capital
ization and more will follow, Barr
predicted. Barr said he knew of one
small bank, located in country
town, which has foreclosed on 1000
acres of over-mortgaged land. 1T is
a situation OF Statewide conse-
quence," Barr said
State chartered banks are held 70

as provided IN the statute. Those
capitalized at the minimum are pre-
vented from reducing their capital
stock, and, therefore, will be forced
to foreclose on land and resell
quickly. Barr expressed confidence
that practically every Institution
would be able to meet the emer.
gency. despite the apparently criti-
cal situation faced.

The reduction has been contem.
plated since ominous signs Of de.

the farms are not worth nearly

Advance voices his sentiments this:

monstration of approval of a

gallery gods who put two dirty
fingers in their mouths and try

The Gazette agrees with all that il
said through the press and otherwise
concerning the utter foolishness-
possibly worse-of the reign of "Ma"
Ferguson in Texas. "Ma" is a SENT
mentalist of the first water and
should be sturdily condemned by ev-
cry thoughtful United States citizen
for the wholesale way in which she
is iberating the criminals of her
state. But, before writer's and speak
ers state that women are failures for
governors for ALL time they SHOULD
glance at Wyoming where Governor
Nellie Ross is giving her state one
of the best administrations it has
ever had-at least Wyoming citizens
are very generally stating that. There
have been some foolish-or worse
men governors at various times in
the past. But this hasn't led to the
Wholesale condemnation of men as rul-
ers OF their states. 1t is possible tc
be just even to the feminine sex.

day as does Mama" in Abbie's
Irish Rose. The account of the Van
derbilt-Smith wedding, frontpaged
on the Journal of last Thursday, was SO
mixed up with accounts of this dread
ed disease and the oncoming opera
tions, that when we had finished read
ing we really weren't sure whether.
we had read the Journal or some
amateur medical magazine. Liste.l
to this:
Rev. Thomas Murphy of St.
Patrick's Cathedral was chosen
to perform the ceremony. The
bridegroom is an Episcopalian.
Mrs. Frederic C. Church, Miss
Vanderbilt's sister, who is soon
to undergo an operation for ap.
pendicitis, was designated as ma
iron of honor. Mrs. Church was
married at an Episcopalian cere-
mony. At her sisters wedding
last summer, today's bride was
on the verge of an appendicitis
operation"
1t appears that Mrs. Frederic C..
Church's nearness to an operation"
was so much in her favor that she
was made Matron of Honor! And
how glad the waiting world is to know
that "today's" bride sufficiently re-
covered from her operation" to be-
come today's bride! And wasn't it
a coincidence that two such charming
young women in such a remarkable
family should BOTH have this TER
RIBLE thing happen to them! We
haven't read anthing in Life nor
anywhere else for years that strikes
US as being more ridiculously funny
that this naive account Of the inward
pains of these two young women.
And all this on the front page of the
stately Minneapolis Journal that near
ly kills itself with laughter every
time some little upstate weekly says
''the bride is, one of our most charm
ing young ladies from one of our
leading families!"

THINGS THAT ENDURE

Honor and truth and manhood
These are the things that stand,
Though the sneer and jibe of the
cynic tribe.
Are loud through the width of the
The scoffer may lord it an hour on
earth,
And a lie may live for day.
But the truth and honor and manly
worth
Are things that endure Away.
Courage and toll and service,
Old, yet forever new
These are the rock that abides the
shock
And holds through the storm, flint
true.
Fad and folly, the whims of an hour,
May bicker and rant and shrill;
But the living granite of truth will
Long after their rage is still.
Labor and love and virtue
Time does not dim their glow;
Though the smart may say in their
languid way
"Oh, we've outgrown all that, you
know"
But a lie, whatever the guise it
wears,
Is a lie as it was of yore.
And truth that has lasted a million
years
Is good for a million more.

THE CRIME COMMISSION.

" ne IeiedSe OI OclDdu by the
Parole Board and the conse-
L quent tragedy which has So
upset all of Minnesota has aroused
thought and possible action on the
matter of paroling criminals. The
thing for us to be careful about, in
the heat of our remorse and in our
disgust at the big mistake made i'll
this instance by the Board, is that
we maintain our balance in the con-
Isideration of this matter and keer
ourselves, as citizens of this com
monwealth, from becoming hectic and
unduly overweight. Governor Chris
tianson, with his usual long headed
ness, has taken the very best ster
toward preventing public opinion from
putting itself in this undesirable cor
dition. In appointing a committee
of the states leading men and wo-
men, with the conservative and judi
cial Judge Oscar Hallam at it's head,
to make a survey of the crime cond;-
tions, Governor Christensen has
done two things. In the first pla ee
he has put the matter up for con sid
Grafton and decision by number of
clear-thinking people who are in
capable of prejudice or Of mawkish
sentimentality. In the second place
he has made it necessary for every
one to take time to think before any
action for or against the continual
ton OF the parole board is taken. He
has also given US time and opportup-
ity to study, through the trained
minds which constitute his commits
sion, the virtues and faults of the
indeterminate sentence.
Members of this commission have
already made statements to the press
concerning their attitude All of
these opinions show thought, and give
evidence that the members are in a
mood for thorough survey. Of the
group of statements published last
week the one by Mrs. Alice Ames
Winter, Past President of the Gen.
eral Federation of Womens Clubs
seems to US possibly the most signi-
ficant. Mrs. Winter says:
"The primary purpose Of laws
and their enforcement is the pro-
lection of society. Developing
the manhood of convicts is
secondary.
81 do not believe that any man
who robs with firearms should
ever be eligible to parole.
Laws are not being adequately
enforced anywhere in the United
States. Minnesota is no worse
than other places and much bet
ter than some, but we have only
to compare our crime record with
that of England or any othe-
European country to know the
truth. We have allowed freedom
to run into license. When free
dom encroaches on the rights of
society it ceases to be freedom"
A second statement grounded
in sane thinking, is that of H. L.
Mitchell, president of the State Edi-
torial Association. Mr.. Mitchell says ::
"While the valuable discus
sions that probably will result at
the meeting of the statewide
committee, composed as it is
mainly of men learned in the
law, undoubtedly will materially
change any impressions that a
layman may now have Of our lc-
gal system, it is apparent even
to the layman that some changes
are necessary.
