N Insult to Religion-In
"A Wednesday morning papers
was printed an advertisement, paid
politically, SO it was said, which was
headed: Every Crisis Breeds It's
Own Master"
Farther, it was said, 1--WE know
that some unseen power looks after
this country from time to time"
That something takes one and uses
him; 1T used Washington in 1761,
Lincoln in 1867; Let us not inter
fere with that God power now;
Hold on to Hoover"
In answer to this affront to the
intelligences of the people and the
blasphemy of God, we merely say,
God (Some Unseen PoWer) forgive
them, for they know not what they
do We should never hook up our
party, either Democratic or Repub-
lican. with God, nor should any in
diyidual man of either political faith
claim a partnership with the Su-
preme Being.
The kaiser, as leader Of the Re
publican party. in the days of his
apparent defeat, linked himself with
God. Then it was Uns und Godt
Gus and Cod. Now the leader
ship of the Republican party is fall
ing in line with the kaiser and it is
Hoover and God.

+ RECENTLY observed a small
Il boy swapping rubber band at
flies. 1t was great fun until he let
loose of the wrong end of the band.
Many overgrown boys now sitting
around to hide the holes in the
seats of their pants and taking pot
shots at the President fail to re-
alize that such tactics are a
boomerang.
Hoover did not pull this depres-
sion out of his hat and bellyaching
is not going to end it. 1t is going
to take some serious thinking, much
labor, and, above ali. cooperation.

,TNHERE was absolutely no COM
Il parison between the Ritchie and
Hoover parades here. 1t was the
most colorful, sincere and largest
demonstration Hoosier Democrats
ever have known. And every march
er wore a smile of confidence. And
did the ex-soldiers show that they
wanted the bonus? And how beer
will pay for the bonus became the
slogan Of the evening.
The Hoover parade showed no
empty larders, no grain price con-
trasts, no bread and soup lines. but
the watchers felt these things and
they made us think. With RooSe-
velt as our candidate, happy days
are near again. A CONVERT.

ID EFERRING to a letter in The
IN Times by a freight brakeman,
j. A. Rash, Franklin, Ind, the writer
also is railroad man, and can not
understand how man so disloyal
to the President can get sixteen
years seniority on any railroad.
This country is full of railroad men
who are not reds and are loyal to
the company for which they toll.
AS whole, they are loyal and in
telligent employees, and do not bite
the hand that feeds them. Mr..
Rush may have more time to sit
around and listen to his radio, if he
still has one, at a future date.

TOR the benefit of some of the
Il weakened, gristle- boned, meek
minded wage earners, here's advice:
have noticed that certain news
paper here did not display its Stars
and Stripes in respect to a diStin-
guiShed visitor recently, probably
because it held opposite views. If
its circulation should diminish to
the equivalent Of its craftsmanship,
one person could distribute it in
less than a blocks walk.
Some persons want to vote a GER
tain way, but fear for their jobs so
much that they feel sure some one
will peep through the curtain and
see which lever they pull when they
vote. Job threat is a laugh. What
good would a job be, anyway, under
four more years of slave-driving Re-
publicanism?
SOUP, SOUP, AND MORE SOUP.

VXTHAT has happened to The
w Times? Is it getting yellow
or red, or has Major Hooples head
injury crippled its staff? One of
our greatest blessings is free press
and a good newspaper should treat
this privilege with high regard. 1t
should boost, not knock. 1t should
be a molder of public opinion, fair
opinion. This country has not been
destroyed, and no one man could
destroy it, even though he be the
President. Now, how can a news
