The decision OF Judge Omar H.
Montgomery handed down last
week at Indianapolis. in which he
overruled the motion to quash
the indictment against Governor
jackson and two co-defendants,
charged with a conspiracy to
bride, will have a quieting effect to
say the least.
The attorneys for the defend
ants had argued a motion that the
indictments were illegal on the
ground That statute of limitations
prevented a prosecution of the
parties after a period of two
years had elapsed after the al
leged crime had been committed.
The State charged that the al
legged conspirators concealed the
bride affair from public know
ledge, making the prosecution
within two years impossible. How
ever this may be, no man guilty
of any crime, is expected to tell
the world about 1t.
The fact that technicalities en-
ter into so many indictments
leaves a bad impression in the
minds of the general public for
years afterwards. and at all times
the public will have reason to
doubt the innocence Of the men
indicted.
II men are innocent, there
should be no hesitancy in stand
ing a trial. as IA general rule. Of
course there are instances where
men are liable to be convicted of
a crime for which they are not
acquitted. and his friends hope
that he will be, then he will stand
before the State and Nation with
a clear record so far as the court
is concerned. If the motion to
quash the indictment against him
had been upheld, then he would
stand before the State and Ma
ton indicted and convicted by
public sentiment.

Room for DiScoverer

Real thinking does not lead to
permanency, but to change and
innovation.
Glass rule is against change and
innovation. The wish to preserve
itself explains this.
1t is suspected by many his
torians that the Egyptians knew
great deal about the theories
and principles OF modern science.
They we're prevented from making
practical use of what they knew
by, system which feared and
opposed change. Even if they
jhad been allowed to publish and
experiment with their inventions,
they could not have gotten very
far, because the system enforced
poverty as well as ignorance.
This invariably is the effect Of
class rule. It is an easy step
from the belief that men should
not enjoy an equal share In poll
tics to a belief that they should
not enjoy equal opportunities Of
education.

Threat Of Big Business

If fundamentally, our Gov
eminent is not materially different
from the republics which have
preceded it," as Mr.. Kingsley
points out, it faces no funda-
damentally different problems.
In each and every one Of them
some social, religious or political
order gave birth to anaristocracy.
Big business threatens to do
that very thing in America.
The significance of what Mr..
Kingsley says lies in the fact that
1t is typical Of a large and grow
ing group Of commercial and
industrial leaders who desire not
only to found families, but to
introduce a system by which will
guarantee those families perma-
nent position and power.
The fight recently made against
the Federal inheritance tax was
not Sc much in behalf Of per-
-onaI rights or individual liberty,
as an aristocratic complex which
is clitting more and more of a
e~-,.-e- in orr Sorial revol5olo~v

Room in Democracy

If we live in an age of orga-
nized business, OF high wages, Of
widespread markets and unprec-
edented prosperity, it is because
democracy made room for it.
The very business which Mr..
Kingsley represents could hardly
reach the proportion it has under
class rule.
Sixty-two million Americans
would not have life insurance
policies and American companies
would not be carrying II per cent
Of the worlds insurance if de-
mocracy had not provided a new
incentive.
The. foolish philosophy Of
the Declaration Of Independence
not only prepared the way for
the pioneer, inventor and de-
veloper, but created such markets
for them as never before we're
known by inspiring all classes Of
men with new hope.

Editor of Times:

The death of James L. Mitchell
brings great sorrow to all graduates
of the University of Michigan. L
think Jim" Mitchell was the best
liked man in the University of Mich
igan Club.
He was always willing to work
and serve others. For the last five
years, he has had full charge Of ar
ranging special trains to the various
Michigan football and basketball
games that the Michigan Club here
attended. These trains became
known as "Jims Specials"
He was particularly interested in
the young graduates of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, and he always did
all within his power to help them.
Yours very truly,
HUBERT E. WILSON,
Secretary treasurer

to word brought to the outside by
one of his attorneys. Stephenson
has had numerous chances to tell
all. In fact the Marion County

When the "black boxes" were I'M

Now Steve is afraid if he tells

Stephenson seems to take the po-
sition that he ought to be IA

idea that he is a political prisoner

for murder. After all the chances
that have been afforded him to
tell all he knows, his latest threat
makes it appear more than ever
that he is four flushing.

May we. who reside on the south
side of "this fair Hoosier metropolis"
offer, through your columns, few
words of protest in relation to the
terrible street car service rendered
on the three south size lines, Me-
ridian, Garfield and Stockyards. +
Even the erection of new power
stations has failed to speed up the
service. There are many and many
south siders working in downtown
Offices and concerns who stand upon
the corners in the early mornings,
muffled up in overcoats and pom
dering dolefully when the next street
car may coast into view.
Is it not possible that some sched-
ule may be worked out to enable
the street cars to run on time? OF
course, we realize that the Belt
Railroad slows up service, but in the
interests of better service the whole
of the south side will agree that
the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company should take steps to rem
edy the poor service.

To the Editor:


To the Editor:
Permit me to compliment you on
the Story Of Civilization by win
Durant, run serially in your paper
each day. I appreciate them very
much and was particularly inter-
ested in the issue Monday, Dec. 3,
on Heinrich Schliemann, the Ger
man-American archaelogist.
Durant refers to Schliemann as
being shipwrecked in Holland, where
he was gradually enriched by trade
and one would presume that was
where he made his money. The his
tory of Schliemann should be OF
interest to the readers of your paper.
We first hear of him in America,
in California when that State was
admitted to the Union. He re-
ceived his citizenship papers July
4, 1850. He later moved to Indian
apolis, where he engaged in the
grocery, feed and lunch room bust
ness; afterwards expanding the
grocery business to the wholesale
trade, covering Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and Kentucky At the age of
38 we find him with $500,0000. His
aim in life was not the grocery
business. He was student of
Greek, he could not stand Nieburh's
attack on his beloved Homer, There
Must Be a Troy" so in 1858 he
sold his holdings here and two years
following we find him digging in
the mountain HesSarlik7 Troad for
the ancient City of Troy, OF which
blind Homer sang.
Schliemann passed away in 1890,
and is buried in the City of Athens
in a grave eXcavated by his own
hand, while searching for the grave
of PericleS.
