We record Of the prohibition department

for either integrity or efficiency is not such
as to cause us to abandon the ancient safe
guard of liberty for the new theory of in
fallibility of the federal court
1t will be necessary, if we retain faith
in courts, to stamp out such monstrous
violation Of our traditions.
The truth is that Dale was elected mayor
of Muncie by the moral people, not the Grim
inal element. The people turned to Dale
because he had made courageous fight for
honesty and decency. They were disguised
with former administrations and tired of
protected vice and gambling, tired of boot
leg graft, tired of the graft in public bust
ness.
Dale was elected because he promised to
clean up Muncie-and he cleaned out the
foul places and the foul practices as far as
humanity possible
COMMON sense suggests that had he been
corrupt, or had he protected criminals,
some protest would have come from Muncie
instead from a secret source, not yet identi
fed.
The two daily newspapers, jealous of
Dale's little weekly paper, which had tri-
umphed over both, would have protested pub
licly.
The ministers of that city would have de-
manded reforms if Dale had failed to keep his
pledges.
The uaanswerable refutation to the
charges against Dale lies in the fact that the
decent elements of Muncie made no protest.
THE record of Dale should stand him in
stead. He was sentenced to the penal
farm for contempt when he was fighting the
control of courts by the Ku-KluX Khan. In
that fight for a free press, the arrogant
khan Judge was impeached in the house of
representatives and all editors were safer
from censorship and tyranny.
Dale made history in that case. He may
be making history in this.
The people may decide that even in fed
eral courts there shall be no suggestion that
men are guilty when an indictment is re-
turned.
They may get away from the reversal of
moral standards for witnesses and once
again permit lifetime of honest and fear
less struggle for decency to give some pro-
lection against the word of the abandoned,
the criminal, the confessed perjurer.
TT even may cause the people to think seri-
ously on the desirability of continuing a
system of life terms for federal judges, for
it is only through judges that the people
can find security against the governments
vicious system of prosecutions in prohibition
conspiracy cases.
1t may be decided that the reasons for
life terms for judges are outweighed by more
important considerations of substantial
justice.
In the meantime, Dale will appeal. The
least he deserves is that public opinion be
reserved until the highest courts speak.

Government Aid Limited

GONE people think that the re-
~ sources Of the government are
inexhaustible. That, of course. is
not true. The government has
nothing, produces nothing, and
creates nothing. What it gives to
one it must take from another.
Its power to take is limited by
the earning capacity of its citizens.
That earning capacity has shrunk
some 40 per cent, if not more, dur
ing the last three years.
The governments one hope of
doing more for veterans, or any
one else, depends on restoration of
private Income through recovery of
private enterprise.

Childs Habit Of Identifying

Be Inheritance From An
cient PrC-Humon Ancestors.
A CHILDHOOD trick is being
L A studied By one Of America s
best known scientists. He is DR..
Ales Hrdlicka. famous anthropolo-
gist OF the Smithsonian institution,
who is studying the habit Of chill
dren Of identifying themselves with
animals.
The intensity with which some
children enter into this game
makes DR.. Hrdlicka think that per-
haps it is an inheritance from an
Gent pre-human ancestors.
A few years ago. Dr.. Hrdhcka an
nounced the results Of a study OF
more than a decade OF children who
run on all tours.
He collected instances from all
parts Of the world Of small infants
who ran around on hands and legs
like small animals.
IN every instance he found that
these children were unusually strong
and active. He believes that all in
fants would Go the same II they
were sufficiently strong in the
months prior to the time that they
learn to walk.
This running on all fours. he be-
lieves. is an inheritance also from
pre-human ancestors.
Recently. DR.. Hrdlicka has found
that some small children who run
on all fours identify themselves as
animals The two phenomena, how
ever, are not always found together.

workers their power what they really
could accomplish if capitalism would
not be standing in its way. They
should expose capitalism, Tammany
Hall and the socialist takers to the
fullest extent, and, when doing this,
right then and there will be the
time to supply the workers with ma
terial and convince every single
worker of the tremendous value of
his vote, prove that it is only the
workers who can remedy this de-
plorable situation of graft and cor
ruption.
Only exposing is insufficient We
have to give them something tan
gibIe. otherwise they will merely
shrug their shoulders and omit it
from their thoughts as disagreeable
phenomenon of society which is be-
yond their power of remedying.
Workers don't like to halt before
puzzles, they want things clear and
TO the point, and it is up to us to
satisfy this desire, and only clear,
plain and simple facts viii do the

The election campaign is the inn

Our Actions Mast
Bear the Stamp of
Determination
Dear Conrade Editor:

Lear NOifuduS cQiGOE.
The workers are grateful for the
given opportunity to express their
opinions on the coming elections.
In times which we are experiencing
now we should remember that the
great masses of workers aer watch
ing intensely our every step. They
realize that the Communist Party is
their only hope for the future, that
on its leadership depends its final
emancipation from the misery and
enslavement of the capitalists.
AS a revolutionary Party our every
action must bear the stamp of de-
cision and determination Only when
we approach the question from this
standpoint, only then will we be able
to get and hold the confidence Of
the greater masses of workers which
is so vitality necessary to our Party.
Let lis forget Boosting for while
and come down 10 the earth, let's
wake Up to the seriousness Of the
situation and understand the i'm
portance Of being member Of the
Party, We want TO arouse the
masses great" but we will never
accomplish anything il We do not go
TO the masses. And surely, comrades,
bureaucratic is not the way. Espe-
cially in the coming elections our
personalities should be forgotten en-
tirely and only the voice and pro-
gram of the Communist Party should
be heard Speakers should supply
then,>clves with facts, the most
s:-lple language should be used, the
palmer we appear before the masses
in language and actions, the greater
will be the confidence which We in
spire, the wider will be our success.
Must Uproot Doubts.
The doubts about the possibility of
electing our candidates into office
still remaining with us must be torn
out root and branch and be replaced
with a convincing, absolute certainty
that we actually will elect our lead
ers into office. How else can we OK
pect to convince the masses If We
ourselves remain in doubt. If we our
selves havs no confidence and lack

stunned by the whole thing, 1t is
nothing else but criticism under
which we are living. 1t is the very
same thing the workers hear in the
parks or in the mass meetings. That
platform does not say anything about
or give any reason why workers
should work for the lection of the
Communist candidates.
The masses Of workers expect
something concrete 10 look up TO
and here was the chance for the
Communist Party to present 10 the
workers that very concrete thing, 1t
seems to me that the Communist
Party is afraid to tell the workers
that if it should be elected that
within one months time Of its in
auguation unemployment will be
wiped out; that the working hours
will be shortened to such an extent
that there will be work for everybody
and the pay envelope returned at
least TO the 1929 level regardless of
length of working hours. which will
not exceed six hours per day; that
the workers will be guaranteed one
months vacation every year and the
workers over SIS years of age PEN
stoned.
And now for the farmers that the
land will be turned over TO them to
till and those that want TO work in
collective will be so Accommodated,
