1 am not much of a politician or
a prophet, but there are some things
that I would like to see happen and
they have got to happen or this
Government is going to Serfdom.
Just think what might have hap
pened, if we had not had man like
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who
had the nerve to tackle that oil
scandal. See how those in charge
trieed to head him off. If they had
succeeded, anything might have
happened. Millions Of the peoples
money would have slipped away.
I have voted for thirteen presi-
dents. I hope to live to vote for one
more and I would like for that man
to be Burton K. Wheeler. If not
him, some man like him. L had an
idol for some thirty years, but he
has gone to his reward and now I
would like to have another.
I have been very unfortunate in
my voting, but out Of thirteen voted
for, thank God, am not ashamed
of these two, Grover Cleveland and
Woodrow Wilson. There always has
been a man to take the helm when
the old ship began to founder. But
all law-abiding people must get to
work and turn the rascalS out or, as
Lincoln once said, Il fear for my
country"

To the Editor:
This is letter I should like to
address to Sheriff Ben Stong OF
Gary: Will you please furnish
me with a deputy sherif's badge?
I want to peddle moonshine and be
exempt from arrest by anyone ex-
cept a coroner.
I just learned this trick today,
seeing and hearing one OF your
deputies telling about this stuff.
Please comply with my request,
as I am a citizen and have the
same right as any other person.
He also said he knew right where
the liquor went that was hijacked
near Michigan City lately.
He said one man got twenty cases
and that they only captured enough
to break few bottles to make the
people believe that they got 1t all.

Please print the following either
on the front page or somewhere else,
so that the Indianapolis Police De-
partment won't overlook it, An
excited man rushed out OF a bank.
BANDITS! A HOLDUPl POLICE!"
he shouted, but not single police
man was in sight. A pedestrian ran
north to find a policeman. A mes
senger boy on bicycle dashed south
to find a policeman. A driver OF
delivery truck sped east to find
policeman.
FOOLS" muttered friend. I'll
get a half dozen policemen!" and he
parked his car beside a hydrant. AS

To the Editor:
Last month we requested the local
park board to grant permission for
us to stretch a banner across Me-
ridian st. This banner was to an
nounce that we are equipped to
render scientific brake service.
Our request was refused, as was
one also requested by a local auto
dealer. AS there are O number OF
advertising banners stretched across
different streets of this city, the
writer would like to know if the
policy of the city administration Is
discriminate against some legitimate
business institutions and also how
is it that some are allowed banners
and some are not? Thanking you
in advance. +. b. 3.
