A FTER several months under the
II management of Charles
Schlotz, feel that we indeed have
been very fortunate in selection of
a man as superintendent of the
Marion county infirmary. He is
trying to turn this institution into
a real home for aged people.
1t is astonishing the changes he
has wrought in such short order.
He has worked hard to accomplish
this, and, with his assistants, Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Terrmisteen, he
surely has done wonders. We only
are hoping that the good work
still may go on and that we can
point with pride to the home.
I would appreciate very much if
you would print my letter as we
want to inform the world outside
what modern home we have out
here and how much we appreciate

TINE Oct. 10 Times gave front
a page display to a squib by H.
r. Fear. He says g. am asking
you give lovers of sport some
help Mr. Morgan started a
canning factory has been
dumping acid and refuse into
stream killing fish"
Get this straight, now and for all
time. No canning factory, belong
ing to the Morgan family or to any
one else, has been dumping acid"
} into streams or any other place! No
canning factory uses, or ever has
used any kind OF acid in preparation
Of canned vegetables
Canned goods probably are the
purest and most strictly inspected
products. When you allow it to be
intimated in your paper that some
one is using acid in the canning in
dustry, you maliciously are damag-
ing the source of livelihood of many
of your readers.
Mr.. Fear seems very much exer-
cised here at election times, over
the alleged killing of some fish. Do
his lovers of sport" approve of
shooting down one of Indiana's in
dustries with political skunk juice?

7 HAVE been fooled, you have been
i fooled we all have been fooled.
now along come the Democrats with
a farce, a worse farce than the last
one. More programs by Repub-
leans than you can shake a stick
at, like the last programs that never
materialzed What a farce
want some one to tell me how to
vote to kill the Capitalization of
wealth before the Capitalization of
wealth kills us. We are going to the
wall faster than you may think.
You would better think this time
before you vote; you may not have
a chance to vote the next time.
What fools we all become!

PRACTICALLY all authorities
i agree that economic systems
are born. flourish during maturity,
decline, decay and die.
Applied to capitalism, this means
the present depression represents
either a minor and temporary ILL
ness or a major and permanent one.
The capitalist writer. Arthur Bris-
bane, accepts this scientific theory
But this same Arthur (who all
during the spring and summer of
1929 told us to buy good stocks,
keep them and they will keep you,D
pictures capitalism in its present
stage as a baby-cutting teeth. How
ever, the economist, Stuart Chase,
shows that If we returned to the
business volume of 1928-29 there
would be work for only about so
per cent of our unemployed. This
would seem to indicate old age, a
permanent hardening of the art
cries
The question is: Does the present
depression represent capitalism as a
baby with the collie, or as an old
man with a paralytic stroke?
II the former is true, then the Re-
publicans, with their ice bags, or
Roosevelt. who wants to walk the
baby about bit, will suffice.
II the latter is true. then the next
and immediate step in social evolu-
ton is Socialism, and there re-
mains but the Socialists, who want
to revive capitalism with hypo-
dermic injection of ten billion dol
lars, or the Communists, who pre-
fer TO give the corpse a decent burial
and pass on to Socialism.
