(DemOcratic)

The present move to GUST Mayor
L. Ert Slack from Office of the
mayor of Indianapolis that has
been instituted recently by the
majority faction of the city coun-
Gil, has it's origin in the gambling
ring Of that city, according to In
dianapolis newspapers who now
are displaying the first support
that has been offered Mayor
Slack since he has been in office.
The mayor and his police de-
partment have displayed sudden
activity in raiding the gambling
dens in Indianapolis. 1t was not
long until it was discovered that
some of the councilmen were
holding conferences with the
Armitages, Republican bosses Of
Indianapolis, and commonly re-
puted to be interested in the gam
bling business. 1t was not long
until the resolution to rescind the
action of ousting Duvall made its
appearance.
The reply of Mayor Slack to
this action has been to redouble
his activity in stopping COM
mercialized gambling in Indian
apolis. 1t is to be hoped that the
citizens of that city will awaken
sufficiently that they will defeat
the challenge of the gambling in
terests who have. in effect, de-
cIared that no man can hold the
Office of mayor of Indianapolis
without their consent. When the
gambling interests of a city pre-
sumo to take control of that city's
government, it is high time that
decent citizens took hand and

Appalling Navy Program

The Navy program grows APP
palling as it unfolds.
Starting with the idea of con-
structing so many cruisers, sub
marines and airplane carriers at
cost of $7O0,000,O00 it has ramif1ed
until even some of it's most en-
thusiastic supporters are getting
scared.
The cruisers and carriers need
tlirplanes to give them a balance,
the submarines need mother ships
and every kind of a craft needs
men.
1t. now develops that nearly 1900
airplanes will be needed to give the
new fleet symmetry, not to mention
twenty-five or thirty thousand adj
ditional sailors.
1t also develops that, instead of
doing away with several Navy yards
as Admiral Magruder suggests, the
Government will have to establish
some new ones.
The latest calculation indicates
that if the program is launched, as
Secretary Wilbur desires it will in
volve a total expenditure of some
thing like $1,000, 100000 for the Navy
during the next ten years.

In the beginning a game usually
is simple. It's object is to amuse,
and those who start it care little
about the frills. Later on sugges-
tons and appliances are added,
technique is developed and the
game becomes SO scientific that the
object is lost sight of. Bridge
whist, cribbage, chess and boxing
are examples i'll point.
The same thing is true Of politics
in a democracy. At the outset par
ties are born Of issues, their pur-
pose being to improve the govern
ment. The issue is fought over sue
cesSfully, or dropped, but the party
remains. Then comes the boss,
slate-maker, ward heller and ma
chine. The idea Of improving the
government fades out of the pic
ture and in it's place there develops
a system, You get efficiency with

comes to be regarded as place

Issuing Short Wave Permits

The Radio Commission should proceed with care
in aoting short lengths to the hundreds of ap-
pcants for permits who represented at its re-
cent two days hearing.
AS member of the commission said, the short
wave bands eventually will become more important
than those now used for broadcasting. There are
many channels in the short wave band.
Blu; with the radio only in its infancy it is prob
able that the short wave bands WI. be crowded in
few years as the higher bands now are.
Commissioner Caldwell told a House Committee
short wave used by the police force of a small
town may project signals far New Zealand SO it
is probable that each wave length must be devoted
exclusively to a single user.
The commission was right in seeking from every
applicant an outline of his purposes.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
According to Arthur Brisbane's
past and present rawlings the work.
ing people of the United States are
enjoying very prosperous times. He
pictures the working men as own
ing nice homes, one or two cars,
and that their rosy checked children
are well-fed and clothed and are be-
ing properly educated. In a recent
issue of an Indianapolis paper he
states that mechanics are getting
from $40 to $18 a day.
I have lived in Indianapolis for
only a short while and have found
the city to be a paradise for cheap
labor. With laborerS and factory
workers receiving from 80 cents to
so cents an hour, it is no wonder
that cheap labor is offered as an
inducement for new enterprises to
locate in Indianapolis, and unless
our Indianapolis workmen affiliate
themselves with labor unions their
wives and daughters will forever be
condemned to work daily with the
husband and father in an effort to
exist.
The indianapolis Times is very
humane in its attitude toward labor,
and your paper should be read by
every working man in Indianapolis.
May your one-man battle against
Indianas Shiny political and indus
trial hogs be crowned with success.
Very truly yours,
A WORLD WAR VETERAN.

MI. Jewett may find that his
announcement of the primary law
may not be the best platform in
the world to run upon. While it
is generally agreed among politi-
cal leaders that the law should
never have been enacted it seems
that feeling is not so general
among the voters who delight in
the fact that they have some rec
ignition each two years. Previous
attempts along the line have not
proven very popular.

To the Editor: I have read with
considerable interest an article ap-
pearing in the Jan. 25 issue OF The
Times, in which Allene Sumner puts
che Henry Carey on the Goals be-
cause he evidently has written an
article in Harper's on married wom-
en- working in Offices, while they
have a perfectly able-bodied hus-
band, also presumably working.
Now I have not yet read this ar
ticle appearing IN Harper's, but if
this Mr.. Carey's argument deals
with the fact that married wom-
ans place is in the home and not
in an Office, I certainly am in ac-
cord with Mr.. Careys statement.
Although it is true that approx
mately half the good positions are
helo by married women, in my opin-
ion, it is not right. There are very
few women, married and living with
their husbands, who can do justice
to working and keeping house, and
if they do not want to keep house
why do the7 get married?
Of course, circumstances alter
cases. If a girl is married and her
husband meets with some misfor-
tune she should feel it her duty to
help the man she married, and take
a position in the business world.
Another thing, a married woman
will work for less salary in an Of
flee than single girl can afford to.
Why? Because she has a husband
who is making fair salary, and
she doesn't have to worry about
her bread and butter, the way the
average single girl does, and be-
cause she will work for less money,
she can get position where a sin
gle girl cannot.
If it came down to votee, I for
one, would vote against married
women working in Offices.

still live we'll enough to make the

other celebrities gladly accept the
opportunity to pay Mr.. Straus
tribute.
Wonderful as that tribute may be,
it is Of small consequence COM

AS a matter of exact justice, one

as much right to stick stamps on

Once this method of free adver-
Using has been opened up, it is too
late to draw lines.
Constitutional rights and civil
liberties fall flat if we attempt to
make fish out Of one movement and
flesh out of another.
Privileges which cannot be
granted to everyone, become spe-
cial, and restrictions that cannot
be applied to everyone become I'M
just. IF the Government were not
willing for various kinds of propa-
ganda to be spread with stickers
and stamps, it should not have per-
nitted the Red Cross to use them.

FIGHT ON CRUISERS
LOOMS IN SENATE
Hale Expects Contest on Is
sue After Kellogg Pact
Is Ratified.
BIZ FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Behind the scenes on Capitol Hill
these days antagonistic forces are mass
: ing for battle very much along the lines
that the rival commanders of armies
or fleets prepare for decisive engage
tment. The issue at stake is the Cool
,tdge administrations program for add
Eing Is modern 10000-ton cruisers to the
United States Navy, plus another air
feraft carrier The bill providing Tor
these ships passed the House last Spring
and now awaits action by the Senate.
The order of precedence has not been
definitely determined, but the general
expectation is that the cruiser bill Will
be debated and voted on as soon as the
Senate has ratified the Kellogg war-re-
lnunciation treaty.
The opposing elements which are
preparing to lock horns are the group
'captained by Senator Frederick Hale,
Senate naval affairs committee, and the
associated organizations of churcnes,
peace advocates and professional pac-
lists. All concerned look for a battle
royal between the two camps. Pne
friends of naval preparedness take their
stand on President Coolidge's urgent
appeal for authorization of the cruisers
sand on President-elect Hoovers Vlgor-
sous declaration that our establishment
at sea must always DC OIIc 1IldC "AH
keep America respected" The oppon-
'ents of the cruiser program base their
opposition mainly on the contention
that naval expansion coincident with
ratification of the Kellogg anti-war
treaty is inconsistent" and "hypocrit-
ical." They go the length Of saying
that the United Sttaes will "nullify"
the purpose of the war-renunciatlon
pact by strengthening the American
feet at the same moment.
Barrage is Withheld.
The enemies of the cruiser bill are not
yet out in the open. Senators are re-
ceiving few individual protests from
constituents, but the grand barrage OF
opposition is being withheld until the
Kellogg treaty Is safely in the port OF
ratification. Apparently the anti-navy
group, which is enthusiastically in favor
Of the multilateral anti-war pact, does
not think it wise to antagonize SEN
atorial friends Of the Kellogg treaty by
attacking the cruiser program now.
With the treaty out of the way and ap-
proved by the Senate, there are ample
indications that the upper house will
be the target of the same furious, well
organized anti-navy drive which killed
