immunity in many instances.

THE GARY GIRL"

TSunday evening pulpit comment at the Wood
laion Baptist church, Chicago By Dr. M P. Bovnton
before his regular sermon, December II, 1901
The papers of late have been reporting rather
fully the sad and regrettabe incident of the Gary
girl who it is alleged by the wet press, high
school" girl lured to wild high school" party,
piled with strong liquors and while in a drunken
condition murderously assaulted by several drunken
men from whose brutality she died
The wet press has quoted her mother demand
ing repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, has re-
ferred to the whole group high school scholars"
and sought to lay the blame for this wild liquor
party upon prohibition.
Now what are the facts in this case? This eight
een-year-old girl no longer in school. No one
attending upon that party a high school stu
dent. There was only one high school graduate in
the whole group. The poor girl lost her mother by
death fourteen years ago.
Witnesses before the grand jury and others know
ing something of the party declared that it was
doubtful that the girl had taken even one drink
probably having refused to take drop of the wine
and moonshine provided at the party. Other wit
nesses testified that the were not drunk but
probably had been drinking. She pure girl of
average intelligence and lively spirits She was not
wild in her tastes manner of life.
The manner in which the wet press has played up
this story is another glazing example OF the after

The Mullen-Gage law, the New York state prohi-
bition code adopted to enforce the Eighteenth
Amendment in that state, was repealed in June,
1928 The law had been in effect little more than
two years. During this time prohibition enforce
ment showed steady improvement. large pro-
portion of the county judges, and many of the SUI
preme court judges were heartily in favor of the
law and melted out penalties which were deterrent
violations District attorneys Sheriffs and police
in most of the counties and municipalities cooper
ated in the enforcement of the law When the
Mullen-Gage law was repealed all this changed.
Today with all state courts of criminal iuriSdic-
ton, and every prosecuting attorney Of the state
without authority to deal effectively with volatorS
of the law, prohibition is trampled upon with i'm
punity. In those parts of the state where aggreS-

They Need Backbone

For better or for worse, we have a new federal
power commission. and in the hands of its members
lies the future of the federal water power act.
1t is easy to believe that honest men coming IN
washington and learning of the manner in which
the power act has been fouted and ignored-allowed
TO la INTO disuse or made an instrument for grant,
ing privileges where it intended to curb them
VIII revolt at such abuse and act to stop it.
We hope the commissioners will prove to be fair
minded fair to private capital and to the pub
tic interest Many interpretations have been placed on
this last phrase but the power act is fairly definite
in specifying what congress considers to be to the
public interest.
Literal enforcement of this excellent law should
leave little cause for just complaint from any one.
Equivocal enforcement far-fetched interpretations
destroying regulation will cause plenty of complaint
The new commissioners have unusual opportunity
for public service and an unusually technical and
difficult job. They will be subject to pressure and
criticism and they have great many errors of the
past to correct.
We wish them luck and plenty of backbone.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-12-23

could cut the expense to the city,
save money, and speed up this con-
gested traffic.
I would keep every street car of
Washington street. also Meridian
street north of Georgia. Use more
cross town lines, say Illinois and
South Meridian, East and West
Washington, Columbia, Shelby, West
Michigan and Stock Yards, College
and Central, with other south side
lines.
East Michigan, Brookside, Col
lege, Brightwood, East Tenth, Cen
trail, Alabama and Columbia make
their loop down Alabama to Wash
ington, west to Delaware and north
to Massachusetts avenue and then
on their regular run. East Wash
ington cars go south at Delaware
to South street, then north at Cap
itol and on out West Washington
Illinois, Northwestern make their
loop at Union station.
West Michigan, West Tenth, IN
diana avenue, Stock Yards, West
Indianapolis make their loop start
ing at Illinois and Washington
south to Maryland, west to Capitol
and north to Washington and then
on to the regular run.
Garfield. Minnesota, Prospect
Shelby, South East, Lexington,
English avenue, Beech Grove make
loop as they do now.
Now this will raise the hair right
up: Allow no parking in the squares
bounded by Illinois, Ohio, Wash
ington and Pennsylvania. and not
even on these streets. Fifteen min
