REAL EVIDENCE

The Senate has passed a measure which would
prevent any city from turning to the city manager
form Of government until the terms of present
mayors have expired.
There is strong probability that the House may
pass this measure.
The measure was admittedly designed to keep
no mayors in Office for another two years.
Down in Evansville the people, resenting the
administration of Mayor Males, have organized to
replace the present political government with
business one.
In Indianapolis group of leading business men,
backed by many civic organizations, are prepared to
the people to adopt that form of government
here.
These two mayors, quite significantly, admitted
that they Travelled urder and at the ex
of the Khan. to Washington to discuss their
appointments with who does not live here
and who has no interest in this city,
The merits of the measure can be judged by
the character of the men who are asking for its
passage and those who are protesting against it.
From Evansville come leading business men,
headed by college president, appealing to the
Legislature to stay its hand and permit the law un.
der which Males took Office, and which would permit
change during his term, to stand.
Against it are the riffraff of politics, the po-
litical hangers-on, men of small standing and
those whose actions have incensed the people,

Russia S Abb

Soviet Russia says that while Eng
land was discourteohs, it is willing to
overlook that circumstance for the
sake of peace, that it not only has
been good, but will continue to be
good and that Eng!and's charge of
revolutionary propaganda fell fiat
because it failed to include specific
instances.
Soviet Russia has good alibi in
the Third Internationale. The
Third Internationale spreads all the
literature and does all the proselyt-
ing. When somebody complains,
Soviet Russia replies: why, that's
just a political party, like the Demo-
Gratis in America or the Conserva-
tives in England.
1t sounds all right, until one digs
into the facts.
There are two parties in America.
and three or four in England, but
only one in Russia.
SO far as Soviet Russia is con-
cerned, it knows but one political
system and tolerates but one faction,
both of which are represented by the
Third Internationale. Until it frees
itself from that alliance. it will have
to assume responsibility for what
the Third Internationale connives at
by way of stirring up trouble in
other countries.
