Easy to Settle

No difficulty should be encountered by the
city council in the matter of impeaching Mayor
John u. Duvall, unless, of course, the members
Of that body are content to place themselves
under suspicion Of being blackmailers
The charges are rather definite and not to
be dismissed by agreement among members
without an invest cation or an inquiry.
The manner in which the members handled
the resolution and the juggling of the docu-
ment do not give any great confidence in the.
sincerity of some of the members.
Some, apparently, believe that such little
things as impeachment proceedings should be
settled in secret conferences and after proper
arrangements for jobs, influence or other bene-
fits have been privately arranged.
Either the charges are true, or they are
false.
If they are true, then the council has real
duty to perform and the resolution points to
the proper action.
If the mayor and his brother-in-law are
guilty of the things charged, they should be
ousted
to be subjected to any attack which may be
the result of peevishness or desire to assume
a part of the prerogatives and perquisites Of
his Office.
The proper way, of course is to have pub
lie hearing and decide the case upon the facts
Mayor Duvall has had little regard for the
wishes of the citizens and Nwent to unusual
lengths to retain his Office despite wide
spread desire to get rid of him.
He was elected under charter provision
that permitted the people to substitute the city
manager plan of government at any time the
people desired.
Had he suggested, when a candidate, that he
would not permit the new system to go into
effect he would never have been mayor at all.
1t was part of his contract with the people.
But through the friendly relationship be
bears to the boss of this county, he was able
to secure the passage of law in the last Legis-
lature which took away from the people this
powergto put the city on business basis of adj
ministration..
That he properly understood public esti-
mate is shown by the fact that the people
voted, four to one, for change from the pres
ent system to that of city manager.
A decent regard for the sentiments of the
people would have forced any other mayor to
offer to Immediately vacate and let the peo-
pie have the government they wishd.
The resolution before the council recites
very definite acts of malfeasance. If those
charges are true, they can be proved. If they
are proved the mayor should be ousted at
once.
The people would expect from any other
mayor demand for an immediate hearing,
out in the open.
If he does not demand such hearing, there
should be enough members in the council to
force that hearing.

Price of Progress

The time has not yet arrived
when we can be safe and success
full at the same time.
This generation must dare and do
like any other if it would go ahead
Nothing has come into life to make
1T secure for those who lead the
way.
Humanity can stand still without
taking chances, but it cannot move
forward.

In an address which meant to be warning,
Professor Lindsay Rogers declares that accidents
make Presidents and favorable personal publicity
makes them appear to be great men, He instances
the Coolidge luck in Hiram Johnsons refusal to
accept the vice presidential nomination in 1920 and
Hardings death proof of his first proposition He
refers to the broadcasting Of Mr. Coolidges utter
ances in his role of White House spokesman as evil
dence Of mis- second theory.
He finds that these things prevent the operation
of in accord with "the theoretical pat
term meaning that the Platonic ideal of entrusting
Office to the great and wise is not always attained
His remarks seem to cast grave doubt on the
of the democratic system of government.
We confess that we can find no cause for concern
in these academic alarms We prefer the accidents
OF America to the ordered system of Russia or Italy,
where accidents regulated by soviet decree
the dictator's ruling
The professor has only to read his history to dis
cover that accidents have always played important
part in shaping the Nations destnies. If Coolidge
was an accident, Andrew Jackson, whose VIC
tory at New Orleans after the signing of the peace
treaty made him President. So was Abraham Lin
co!n whose story reads like fiction. So was u s..
Grant, whose rise was brought about by the accident
of war; In later days there was Grover Cleveland
who got his start in New York politics through
politicians slip. Theodore Roosevelt benefited from
several unexpected and unplanned events. New York
politicians brought about his nomination as Vice
President because they wanted to remove him from
State politics. and an assassins bullet placed him in
the White House.
There is, of course a great deal of truth in Pro-
fessor Rogers criticism of the sacred wall built arouno
White House occupants. But here again we encounter
fundamental elements of human nature, which has
reached its present stage of deveopmnt through
series Of accidents dating from Adams error Once
President discovers that his every word will be
accepted as inspired by certain newspapers he will
be loath not to talk Not the silent Mr. Coolidge
could resist that temptation. And until the hero
worship element in the human heart is wiped out,
public and press will continue to exat chief execu
tives above their fellow men.

A PdYtu number of Republicans who have been

There may be goody part of the Republican
press thirds of the indianapolis press and three
fourths of the rank and file of the Republican voters
demanding house cleaning but so far the titular
leaders of the party in this State concerned they
are not going to admit for an instant that house
cleaning is needed.
"Ths is not the time or occasion to talk about the
State administration Some time when am at my
SELF am going to have something to say in praise of
the administration which will carry conviction across
the country" said Senator Watson.
While this statement of Senator Watson's is almost
frank in the way that he admits that it is time to
talk about this State administration of and that
he is not quite in position just now just at himself
so that he can talk about its virtues the statement of
Attorney General Gilliom is more frank. zone must
admit that there is state of mind Indiana
that must be taken into account" he said.
And there you have it. While betrayng that things
are in a sorry mess, there is hint here that any
