of breaking the law, and God knows
we have enough of that now.
The only trouble with this coun-
try, State and city is that the voters
won't turn out at the polls, as they
don't care who is elected or what
laws are passed. Brutus couldn't
save Rome because Romans were
decadent, and if we Americans don't
care what is going on and are too
busy to do anything except chase
the dollar, why it's Just too bad,
that's all. We could have good gov
eminent and laws if we wanted
them.
Many of our attorneys, judges, po-
licemen and legislators drink (our
prosecutors in Marion County don't,
if they want to keep a job with Mr..
Remy, who is a teetotaler. and be-
lieves in doing to yourself as you
do to the other fellow. but I think
they recognize that the great I'M
sung majority of patient mothers
and working wage earners and
farmers are against liquor and its
manifold ills. Hence the laws, as
this is a representative government.
I have no patience with paid re-
formers or with paid propagandists,
and I do feel that the great Ameri-
can public would vote dry if given
a chance, even though it, or part
Of it, might drink wet in a moment
of weakness. Medicinal whisky is
only a subterfuge and an effort to
do legally what is forbidden. We
will be either wet or dry, and be-
lieve we are dry. Yours truly,
JOHN u. NIBLACK,
Deputy Prosecutor.

Political Play

Politics appears to be playing a
rather important part in Washing
ton these days. This is something
of a mystery, since most Republic
ans pretend L. believe that Presi-
dent Coolidge's nomination is a
foregone conclusion.
One finds it hard to escape the
suspicion that there is more behind
the scenes than has been told; the
failure of farm relief; the mess in
Nicaragua; prohibition; the third
term and several other things have
caused more dissatisfaction than is
commonly admitted in Republican
circles.
Popularity based on what a man
has not done, does not do and won't
do is the least dependable kind.
The Coolidge hackers are sensible
to be afraid of it.

To the Editor:

~ VIZ GAANNA
Your reporters have pressed me
for an expression on the action of
Mr.. Gilliom in announcing he broke
the law to save the lives of his chill
dren by bootleg whisky. At the time
they were here I had four people
here talking to me ct once, conse-
quently could give the matter little
thought.
will say first I think Mr.. Gilliom
was unwise in advertising the fact
he broke law, or at least unpolitic,
If my child were starving to death
and I mad no way of feeding it,
would steal loaf of bread. If I were
convinced whisky alone would save
its life, I would do my best to get
whisky. In either case the law
would be broken and I would keep
still.
There Is too much hypocrisy and
bigotry involved in the present dis.
cussion of the liquor laws. What
this State and Nation need just now
is a vote on the question. I think
such action would show the major
ity of the people of Indiana
would vote dry, Notwithstanding
cutlery of clubmen and others of wet
centers like indianapolis and Gary,
who, it must be admitted, are en-
titled to their opinions.
You will find, if you care to in
vestigate, that great many good
women and men of this, our fair
city, believe that the prohibition of
liquor is right, and the rural sec
tons and small towns are of the
same belief
They speak Of the prohibition
against liquor as sumptuary law
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-09
Challenges

Comes McAdoo challenging the
vets to a showdown, chiefly, it
would seem, because he can't think
of anything else.
Comes Lowden declaring that he
is in the game to stay in spite of
all the rosy reports about Coolidge's
popularity which Colonel Butler
brought back from the West and all
the optimistic predictions of guests
coming out of the White House to
say exactly what they were sup
posed to say.
Comes Secretary Mellon admit
ting a huge surplus in the treasury
which year ago he was quite sure
there would not be, and which, Of
course, makes possible a convenient
tax cut.

Watching the Clouds

Intriguing as the subject Of avi-
alton may be, We can go on talking
about it to the exclusion of every
thing else.
There are crops to be harvested
and baseball games TO attend, no
matter what our fliers accomplish,
and not to mention the Mississippi
flood and some other pressing
things.
The Good Book says he who re-
gardeth the clouds shall not reap.
which the politicians appear to re-
collect whether other people do or
not.

Fishing or What2

After he has pinned a medal on
Lindbergh, President Coolidge will
go fishing in the Black Hills.
1t is officially reported that he
seeks trout, but there are those I'M
kind enough to suggest that his
real object is to- hook farmers.
Whether he can regain through a
summer vacation what he lost by
vetoing the farm relief bill is a
question that many politicians
would like to have answered.
If he can, the farmers are a more
gullible lot than even jokesmiths
make them out.

Plain Sense

Meanwhile, Giuseppe Bellanca, de-
signer of the plane in which Cham
berlin and Levine made their flight.
says the stunt was designed to solve
the financial problem of aviation.
Unromantic as this view may
sound, it contains a lot of common
sense.
Bellanca is one of those hard
workers who has found it easier to
design machines than get the money
with which to manufature them.
Aviation has been handicapped in
this country, not so much by lack
of mechanics and pilots as by lack
of capital.

TRACY
SAYS:
Laymen Are Apt to Forget
That "OurS Is q GoUern-
ment By La1O, Not Man."

When Chamberlin and Levine
hoped off for Europe, the latter
took $50 letters with him.
Each of those letters bore an air
plane stamp. which the postmaster
at Hampstead, Long Island, was
kind enough to cancel.
Government experts have esti-
mated they may bring as much as
1000 apiece from collectors, or a
quarter Of a million all told.

1t is possible that the combined

With normal support for Hearts,
the Spade bid should not be made

pass; North should bid two Spades.
The combined hands may readily
produce a game at Spades and not
at No Trump. Furthermore, as any
Major take-out of No Trump is a
strength-shower, it encourages
South to rebid No Trump If he do
not like Spades. The take-out can
not deceive or work disadvantage
ously even in the case of the game
being in the combined hands at No
Trump and not with Spades the
