legal and constitutional rights.
This is not written for any other
purpose than to give vent to the
writer's feeling of thankfulness, ap-
probation, and approval of the ex-
istence Of just such a. newspaper as
The indianapolis Times in this city
and state, and the hope that all
right-thinking men and women of
this commonwealth will flock to the
support of this great policy, so often
preached by others, but not prac-
ticed.
Your constant reader and sup

Editor TimeS-UnempIoy I'M
employment! But why bring that
up?
1 ask you, as a reader of The
Times, aren't the boys and young
men of this city just as able bodied
and mentally alert as boys and men
with homes outside the city?
The people I have reference to
have fairly nice homes, with par
ents fairly able to keep them. I
know there is enough work to be
done in these outside towns without
sending these people down here to
work.
or course, the pay rate may not
be as high, but who do the mills
and factories depend on to buy their
articles of manufacture? Why is it
that certain mills and factories of
the city hire outside help to work
for them, when boys who have lived
in the city all their lives, with par
entS who have paid taxes for years
to keep up the city, can not find
work?
Why is it the places of employ
ment continue to employ people,
who, when the weekend rolls
around, trot right down home to
spend that weekly pay check in
stead of spending it where they
nave earned it. READER.
Editor Times-And so our re-
versed Governor claims that he
made his trip to Canada to de-
termine how to handle state affairs
in indiana My, my, my, and a
couple of more my, mys, wasn't
that nice and thoughtful of him?
Especially when he has such a we'll
furnished residence, such q beauti-
full Office, and nice clean sUatehouse
to stay in here at home. How sac
riflcing! Apparently he is the kind
OF gentleman that would go to the
north pole to find out how to clear
up a middle located at the equator.
Doubtless, though, his statement
that there were mo vacations in
his Office" means that-regardleSs
OF what these sorties ereally were
made for-the poor, downtrodden
Indiana yokels who are either COM
pletely out of work or laboring for
half pay must bear their share of
the added expense to keep our
Governor lallygagging round.
Personally, I am only a dumb
cluck myself, out of job and un-
able to secure work that will enable
me 10 earn enough money to live
decently. But If I must bear my
share Of the above mentioned ex-
pense-and our kink-pin must go
elsewhere to find out how to ''kink"
it seems to me that I should have
some say as to just where the
gentleman goes.
might suggest that we send him
and several of his pals-to
Europe, Asia, Africa and the Orient.
If the ship should sink, the worst
they could get would be all wet
and they are that already.
JUST A HOOSIER.
Editor Times-I'm daily reader
of your good, honest, and straight
from the shoulder paper. I surely
enjoy your editorial pages and read
your paper rather religiously. The
Voice of the People is good.
You read so much about too much
wheat, too much this, too much
that and after all the talks and
