money to have just such corners
properly guarded by policemen OF
traffic lights.
Our officials are accustomed to
making speeches and proclamations
about good health week for babies.
and the police department, under
the direction of that great humani-
tartan, Chief Mike MorrisSey, warns
children to stay off the streets. But
there are occasions when even chill
dren must cross streets. And they
deserve the protection of traffic con-
troll, even if Mike does think it more
important to send all his policemen
to guard Real Silk.
Mr.. Goodman's shop must be pro-
tected, it seems, no matter how
many innocent children's lives are
sacrificed in the process. It is the
duty of every citizen of Indianap-
oils to rise up in one mighty protest
against conditions which make such
things as little Fannie Glanzman's
death possible.
Yes, Fannie is dead, and the
police still are protecting Mr.. Good
mans brick building so that he and
his family may have, from the labor
OF others, beautiful estate where
the rich may play without danger
from automobiles.
But what if a few workers chill
dren are killed, so long as the rich
are safe?

WE MUST KNOW ALL

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELTs sharp attack
on the uncontrolled traffic in munitions
strikes a responsive chord in the breast of
every man who hopes to see the world con-
tinue at peace.
So long as private individuals stand to
make millions upon millions of dollars out of
preparations for war, governments everywhere
will be under tremendous pressure to continue
with such preparations-and since human ma
ture is what it is, that means the creation of
rivalries, fears, and suspicious which make
war more and more likely
The President indorses the Nye committees
plan to investigate the whole traffic in NUM-
tons, and it is to be hoped that the investiga-
ton will be as thorough and as far-reachng
as the senators can possibly make it.
Before re can deal with the problem
properly We shall need all the information
about it that we can get.

lust paying the price for the slipshod way we

just paying the price for the slipshod way we
have chosen to govern ourselves.
The average city government is a product
of old-line political machines. Such machines
exist by favors-the favors that their leaders
can do for people outside of the machine, and
the favors which the leaders in turn pass on
down to their Subordinates.
The logical result is that the city govern
ments themselves operate for the sake of the
political machines and not for the interests
of the people. And since they are like that,
the police departments suffer in exactly the
same way.
Because of all this, the average police de-
partment is unable to fight crime effectively
Now, because of that fact, we are about to
give the federal government powers that ira
ditionally belong to local authorities.
1t is essential for us not to forget why we
are compelled to do it.

TYPES PRANK

TINE typographical error is one of those
II perverse and impish pranks of fate which
afflict all countries alike. Every editor has
suffered from it; the latest is the German
editor in Essen whose paper recently reported
a telegram of birthday greetings sent to Hitler
by President Hindenburg
The president closed his telegram with an
expression not unlike the English Hear,
hear" And some luckless printer inserted a
question mark instead of an exclamation point
after it, which so changed the sense of it that
it became cynical, "Oh, yeah?"
Well, the printer went to Jail for while,
and the editor suffered vast mental stress.
And any one who ever worked on the produc-
ton of the printed word will sympathize with
both of them.
The typographical error will happen, no
matter how careful you are! And it has a
fiendish way of happening at the worst times
and places.
It's just one of those things that put gray
hairs on the heads of men who work in news
paper shops.

BRAINS IN CHICAGO

TAKE a look at the list OF distinguished
Il men attending the meeting in Chicago
Friday sponsored by President Alfred P. Sloan
of General Motors.
You read the names of presidents OF great
corporations and great universities, leading
fnanciers and renowned scientists, great
engineers and chemists and college deans and
professors Captains of industry are to rub
elbows and exchange ideas with experts from
the laboratories. 1t is an industrial and
scientific brain trust" convened at the call of
Mr.. Sloan for the purpose of peering into the
future to foreteu the progress of the next
hundred years.
The name of Walter Dill Scott beside that
of E. G. Schubert president of Standard Oil of
Indiana, of Glenn Frank beside that of Arthur
c. Dorrance, president of Campbell Soup
Company, or dean of engineering beside that
of railroad president all serve to point out
how closely allied are the giants of industry
with the giants of education and science.
When President Roosevelt founded the
so-called brain trust in Washington he did
something that was fairly new in government
but old in industry. For years big business
has utilized the best brains that money could
buy. Great corporations have called upon
engineers, chemists and college professors to
help develop industrial America. And these
brain truSters" have helped to swell the
profits of industry.
Practical big business long has known how
to cash in on brains. Yet some big business
leaders have only sneers for the brain trust
in Washington"
The brain trusterS," they say, are theorists
and are impractical 1t was good business"
for industry to get college professors and
college trained men to introduce scientific
methods into industry and increase cash
dividends. But it is heresy for President
Roosevelt to get men trained in the political
and social sciences to introduce scientific
methods into government and increase the
dividends of service to the American people.

UNGUARDED POOLS

CHIEF MIKE MORRISSEY has issued
~ orders against persons swimming in I'M
guarded pools during the summer
His warning is timely and should be needed
by every child and older person who ever en-
tertained the idea of swimming in creeks and
rivers.
Poetry has been written about the old
swimming hole and it is legend throughout
the country. But youths of today forget that
the swimming holes of days gone by generally
were in the farm neghborhood creeks where
every family was familiar with the water and
bed of the stream or creek.
The youths of today must remember that
when they try their swimming in rivers and
creeks that have been dredged to great depths
they are combating force much more power
full than their swimming ability.
Two deaths already have occurred this year
in indianapolis. They resulted from failure
of the swimmers to heed such warnings as
Chief Morrissey's.
If your children don't understand these
warnings, parents, it is up to you and persons
in your community to explain the horrible
possibilities of swimming in places which are
not under supervision.
A few cents spent in a municipal pool, or
private pool for that matter, where life guards
are on duty, is small expense compared with
loss of life.

BLAME LOCAL POLITICS

THE first thought that hits you when you
Il look at the new crime prevention pro-
gram passed by congress is the fact that it
gives the federal government great new ex-
tension of power.
The second is that we have brought it on
ourselves by permitting our state and city
governments, especially the latter, to sink
into plain incompetency in the business of
dealing with crime.
Putting extra power to handle crooks into
the hands of Uncle Sam is a move which
takes us farther than ever away from the old
theory that states and cities are self sufficient
political units. The whole Interpretation of
our federal and local governments points in
the opposite direction.
And yet it is equally clear that the step is
necessary one.
The depredations of organized gangs of
kidnapers have created a situation that
simply is intolerable Something has to be
done; the only thing that can be DONE imme-
diately, is to strengthen the hand of Uncle
Sam and call on him to do what local au-
thorities can not do.
As We do it, it is important that we re-
member why we are doing it.
Primarily, it is because the average Amer
lean police force is an inefficient and graft
ridden outfit which simply can't do the Job
itself. And it is what it is because our local
politics is what it is. In other words, we are

just a few remarks in reference
to your support of the new deal

a blind man should sense the diff
