MICKEY AND JIM ARE PALS

w. Twenty-N Ninth ST., is Indian
apolis' best educated dog, accord
ing to his 11-year- master and
pal, Jimmy WillinghaIn, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Willingham.
To support his contention, jim
my appeals to local pride. He as
serts that Mickey is the only dog
in the city that has daily attend
ed the public schools.
Jimmy is Sorrowful, however,
because he has to refer to Mick
ey's school attendance in the
past tense.
While parents whose children
are housed in portable, often de-
plore such conditions. Jimmy feels
that the old portable at School
36 was much finer than the big
brick building where he now at
tends classes. For it was at the
portable that Mickey was edu-
Gated. He became as much a part
a part Of the classes there as any
pupil. When the bell rang Mickey
marched.in with the children and
sprawled on the floor by Jimmy'S
desk.
During all the months that he
accompanied Jimmy he never
spoiled his department record with
a single bark. But there is
general rule at the big brick build
ing that dogs are not admitted.
Authorities do not seem to under
stand that while Mickey is "just
dog" as Mrs. Willingham says, he
also is much more than that.
II a
LIE is friendly neighbor who
IL goes visiting for blocks
around, scratching on screens to
gain admittance and barking
when he wants to leave for home.
He is a devoted bodyguard OF
Jimmy's and approves all of the
boys tastes, refusing to eat what
Jimmy doesn't like. When Jimmy
was sick a year ago, Mickey re-
fused to eat at all. For three
days he didn't touch bite. Then
he was taken to Jimmy's room
and despite all efforCs to restrain
him, rorlped on the bed. Return
ing, he broke his fast.
He is an actor who can strut
about on his hind legs and bark
Eyes" or mo, no."
He is a soloist accompanied by
Jimmy's violin. Recently he dem
onstrated this when Jimmy was
broadcasting over a local radio
station. Listeners were treated to
one Of Mickey's best barks.

able and when an officer shows his
ability in one class of work or in
one district he should be retained
there and promoted in accordance
to his merits. Nothing but his abil-
ity and efficiency should govern his
assignments, promotions or demo-
tionS. Civil service rules along these
lines should be established and
maintained uniformly in all cases.
No one, not even the mayor, should
have the authority to discharge or
denote a police officer, except for
inefficiency, or conduct unbecoming

Our city has suffered much in the

During the agitation for the city

Cry for Tolerance

The cry for tolerance one hears
on every hand is measurably desig-
mated to keep Democrats from bolt
ing, because the loudest and most
irritating manifestations of intoler-
ance have come from Democratic
localities.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the
one section of the country Governor
Smith is surest of carrying is COM
monty regarded as the most an
tagonistic to him on account of his
religion and attitude toward pro-
hibition.
Millions Of Democrats are sup
porting Governor Smith not be-
cause of what he wants to do. but
because Of what they think he can
not do and what they will do their
utmost to prevent him from doing
if he tries it.
Making very allowance for his
courage and ability, what could
Governor Smith accomplish with
such an outfit back of him, except
to give the country an heroic en-
deavor to enforce the dry laws, and
steer such legislation through Con-
gress as the Republican opposition
and his own divided, demoralized
crowd would permit?

Any appeal to vote her straight" this fall should
