And 1t has been said, or they tell
me-" that these street walkers are
arrested periodically so regular
houses in regular districts could be
rid of competition.
Was your car ever pulled in and a
favored garage operator given profit
by an ordinance which was later
found to be illegal? Something
wrong with your ears, mind and
eyes. M. D. MOSS.

NNE of the greatest responsible
- ties of any community is the
proper education Of its children.
The individual parent will suffer
untold sacrifices so the child may
be well educated Young men and
women are known to have denied
themselves to the breaking point to
get an education. AS of the indi-
vidual, so of the group, and that is
why shortening the school year and
further reduction of teachers Sala-
rieS is an educational crime that
the people of indianapolis are not
willing to tolerate.
1t seems as though every one must
admit that question Of such vital
Importance should be taken up and
decided in the coming session of the
legislature and not left in the hands
of few individuals whose economic
views are unsafe and unSound.
Cripple the education of our chill
, dren and you automatically increase
the prison population.

7 AM a reader OF the "You Say It"
Il column, and 1 want to see if the
opinion of other people is the same
as mine.
In our Sunday school class, the
question was, Are there any Chris
tians in political offices?" l said,
mo; the country would not be in
the condition it is today if we had
Christians in office, and the last
two years is proof enough"
The majority OF the class. which
is thirty-five in number, was of the
same opinion as 1.
Christian means "doing the will
of God" and 1 find in my commu-
nifty relief work that the laboring
class is the one that sacrifices the
most to help one another.
II there are any Christians in
political Offices, you will have to
prove 1t to me.

TN regard to Margaret Clune's
l. article in The Times Saturday
Nov. 49, about Catholics having to
! pay taxes twice. because of their
schools and public schools, she must
remember that the public school is
a very old American institution and
Catholics as we'll as ProteStantS
have a perfect right to send their
children to it, but if either Catholic
or Protestants want their children
to have private schoolhouseS, they
have to pay for it, 1t is not mat
ter of having to pay for school
twice, it is matter of their own
choosing. c. B.

THIS is for the benefit of Lodge
l. Member and others like him
who seem to be shocked by condi-
tions in Indianapolis. If he has
travelled like he claims. he certainly
ought not be surprised. Although
have had but few opportunities
of visiting other cities. I have met
with the same conditions regarding
unfortunate men and women.
1t is the same right here, and the
writer wasn't shocked or insulted.
as 1t pays to consider that it must
be really desperate circumstances
that will drive respectable men and
women to beg for aid. The solicit
ing on the women's part is due to
the fact that this is the only way
some of them have of earning any,
thing at this time, and good many
OF them, from appearance, are any,
thing but what they attempt to be.
just whose fault is it, anyway?
There is something very rotten in
the way affairs are handled and
Z general management, and it isn't in
Denmark either.
The plain fact that two-sevenths
Of the voters see no use in voting
is an answer to the above question.
! can't blame them. When Indian
apolis voted for the city manager
government about five years ago.
TO ]. why was it thrown out?
Rotten politics and politicians are
the curse Of this great nation and
should be eliminated.
Then there win not be such con-
! ditions and unnecessary suffering
as there is now.
SILENT VOTER.
