Geutlemen-Shortly after en-
tering a Business College in IN
dianapous I learned of your
course in Stenography, I de-
cided it would be economy to
sacrifice the payment had
made in that school and study
your course.
7 am delighted now with my
decision. because l am now I'm
ishing my course, whereas in
the other school 7 would not be
half through. I believe I can
write with any six months stu
dent Of other systems Of Short
hand now md J. have Only been
a few weeks learning this
course.
I find the Shorthand very
easy, as there is no dotting or
shading and the like-and, too,
you do not have to rememb~r

characters.
unhesitatingly recommend
your training to any man or
woman, young or old, that
wants an efficient working
knowledge of StenOgraphy.

Dear Sirs-I heartily indorse
your Stenographic Business
Course. It is all you claim for it,
and I can assure anyone it can
be easily grasped in 80 days Of
your training.
I find the course interesting
and extremely practical, which
makes studying a real pleasure
quite a contrast to my old
idea of stenographic courses.
I take great pleasure in
recommending your course in
stenography, as we'll as your
school, to any girl, as it cannot
fail to be of great benefit to her.
I know of no other course that
compares with it, and should I
later feel that I need q course
in any of the other subjects you
teach, 1 shall certainly enroll
with you. Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
Whine I first heard of your
Stenographic course was
afraid that it was taught in too
short a time to thoroughly learn
shorthand and tipping. 7 also
thought that any course simpli-
fed enough that 1t could be
learned in that time would not
be practical.
For the benefit of others who
may entertain such ideas, I
wish to say that your course is
more than you ask for it. The
system is most complete and
practical from every standpoint.
Anyone can easily learn short
hand with your system if they
will make a reasonable effort.
When I finished my course In
your school l took the Civil
Service Examination at Indian
apolis, Indiana, as I felt con-
fident my speed and accuracy
was sufficient TO pass it, 7
found the examination easy for
me.
I gratefully recommend the
Boyd System of Shorthand and
can assure anyone that they
will have no trouble learning it
if they are normally bright and
will make bit Of effort.
Yours sincerely,
GEORGIA DRESBACH.

LIGHT ON GOVERNMENT

Gurley told how the modern news
paper touches every activity OF life
and pointed out that all these &C
tivities are affected in some degree
by the manner in which the Govern
ment is operated.
"a grating city council may be
the means, through which taxation,
of robbing the industrious citizen, .
he said. His children, when that
home is conf1scated to the greed of
thieving officials, may find their way
to prison farms. Later they may
become the gunner and the thug.
"a state of administration veering
from the channels of public interest
may produce conditions which bring
havoc and disaster to the lives Of
hundreds.
"A national government, in the
hands of corruptionists, might en-
danger the future safety of the Ma
ton itself through the sale OF ma
tional resources.
1--WE have had bad government be-
cause only a minority take any ia
terest in government until it be-
comes bad.
Even then the cynicisrn of the
times, so swift and changing, often
accepts bad government as neces-
sary evil, something which always
has existed and always will.
"Distrust of all governmental in
situations is not an exclusive Indt-
ana symptom.
"At the masthead Of The Times
is the slogan, Give light and the
people will find their own way 1t
is, we believe, something more than
a motto. 1t is a bargain with the
readers that light will be thrown
upon the one institution which
should be of the most interest to
them, the one institution which the
people may change as they desire.
mo news, therefore, seems to be
more important than the news OF
the government which belongs to all
the people.
IF that government performs &C
cording to the public will, the rec
ord of its acts give confidence and
faith. If it swerves from the path
of public conscience or fundamental
law, the duty of the newspaper is to
print the news, without prejudice or
without bias"

Committee members feel no time

FACTS COUNT MOST

The modern newspaper bears lit
tie or no relationship to the news
paper of the days Of Greeley and
Dana, Gurley said. The earlier
newspaper was founded on the in
telligence, genius and principles Of
one man. The personality of the edi-
tor meant everything. The news
paper itself represented a small in
vestment.
Now the power of the individual
editor has been largely destroyed by
the advent of machinery, said Cur
ley. The linotype, the rotary press,
the telegraph and telephone, have
changed the character of the news
paper. Emphasis has been taken
from the editorical column to the
first page. News of the world has
become instantly available, and the
success of a newspaper depends on
the speed and completeness with
which it handles news. Advertis-
ing has become a factor. The es-
adjustment of a modern newspaper
requires large capital.
newspapers have become, In one
sense, business enterprises, corpor-
ate in character, in which the per-
sonality of the editor is lost and
submerged" said Gurley. Readers
may know the name of the owner.
They seldom know the name of the
editor.
Editorial opinion no longer has
the personal message. Editorial
writer's may be changed or replaced
with few, if any, regular readers be-
ing aware of the fact.
1T is for that reason, perhaps,
that astute men in public life care
very little as to what is said or not
said about them and their affairs in
the editorial column but are very
much concerned over any reference
in the news columns.
"As evidence of this fundamental
change in newspaper-making, pause
for a moment and remember If you
can, the names of five editors Of i'm
portant newspapers in the United
States at the present time. Neither
can I.
THE work of the editor Of today
is entirely different from that of
Greeley, or Dana, or Watterson
He is the vendor of news, of enter
tainment, of the comic strip, of
household recipes and radio pro-
grams.

world at his disposal, his success de-
ponds upon his selection and his

ton of facts, rather than argu-
ments. If he is to lead public
thought he must convince with

INDIANA NO EXCEPTION

Gurley called attention to the
fact that in the past eight years
there have been brought to light
more instances of political corrup-
ton, both national and localized,
than had been exposed in the pre-
vious half century, and said:
"As deterrent force we must
reach the conclusion that the mod
ern newspaper signally has failed.
1t seems incredible, even impossible,
to believe that men, either holding
or seeking political power, would
dare to challenge the constant
threat inherent in those 35,000,000
of potential accusers, if the t-adi-
tional restraints and fears which
once formed the protection OF So
ciety were operative.
"This year the Pulitzer prize was
awarded to The indianapolis Times
for the most disinterested and meri-
torious public service. The particu-
lar citation recited that the award
was made because of the efforts Of
The Times in exposing and prose-
cutting the guilty and in creating a
better public sentiment. This award
does not bring unmixed pride. 1t
is an indictment as well as COM
pliment.
There is an implication, which IS
most unwarranted, that the news
papers of the United States have
gone off watch, or that Indiana had
become more corrupt than other
States, which is even more unwar-
ranted. It truthfully may be as
serted that in material cost to the
citizens, the corruption of Indiana
was negligible compared to that OF
misgovernment in other States. 1t
had a more dramatic background.
But any government, even an eff
cient one, which obtains its author
ity by corrupt methods, ceases to
be a democracy and represents a
form of despotism. I am privileged
to make this statement because /
am the editor of The Times, which
received this recognition.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-14
POWER OF BALLOT

Gurley told of the activities OF
The Times in exposing the political
situation in Indiana.
st have related in some detail the
incidents of this event, but only for
the purpose of indicating that
whenever there is a real menace to
Government, it can be disclosed If
there be a purpose to force ex-
posure," he said. Il have related it
also as some evidence Of faith that
the people still are to be trusted
and that corruption in government
comes from ignorance Of facts,
rather than complacency on the
part of the majority. The first re-
suit was indignation on the part
Of those who had been misled and
used.
But am convinced that the
editor, entrusted with news rather
than opinion, has a greater duty
than the mere exposure. of corrup-
ton after it once has fastened its
tentacles upon politics and Gov
eminent. Today as never before
the great menace to public opinion
comes from the prepared propa-
ganday of interested and selfish in
terests which use government for
their own interests as against the
interests of the many. Only through
silence and the printed propaganda
which disguised hateful force in the
garb of patriotism was it possible
for the control of Indiana to slip
away from its people into the hands
Of the venal and the selfish.
"This is the hidden and subtle
enemy of real government-this
disgusting of truth and the sup
preston of truth, which sends the
voter to the ballot box drugged with
misinformation or in ignorance.
ut is not too much to say that
the editor Of today has done a fair
job if he protects his own columns
from the sinister, often the power
full.
"Is it Important Is it worth
while?

Boyd GurIey Gives Address
at Politics Institute
in Virginia.

UNIVERSITY, Va, Aug. IA
Newspapers have a greater oppor-
tunity than ever before to aid in
driving corruption out of Govern
nent, Boyd Gurley, editor of The
Indianapolis Times, declared in an
address here last night before the
Institute of Politics.
1.-THE battle to preserve the purity
of Government and its integrity is
a continuous one, and the problem
never can be answered by enactment
of single law or the enforcement
Of all laws relating to the ballot,
said Gurley. Corruption is per-
sistent and adroit."
An intelligent and informed
electorate is necessary, Gurley said,
and it is here that the newspaper
which assumes the duty of protect
ing it's readers from imposition and
nisinformation has its opportunity.
The Indianapolis Times, under
Gurley's editorship, led the fight
against political corruption in IN
diana which drove numerous public
officials from Office. The Times was
awarded the Pulitzer prize last year
for disinterested and meritorious
public service.
Gurley described the exposure of
corruption in Indiana, and told how
discriminating documents which
had belonged to D. G. Stephenson
we're obtained and published.
Stephenson was organizer of the
Khan in Indiana, and had been a
political power. During the crusade
of The Times, Stephenson was serv-
ing term in the penitentiary in
connection with the death of a girl.
