MOrrissey Retention Urged

BY N. c.
During the recent campaign,
Mayor-Elect Kern stated that he
would. if elected, keep politics
out of the police and fire depart
mentS. He also based his entire
series Of talks on the fact that his
policy would be a continuation of
Mayor Sullivan's administration.
Without civil service, politics is
natural part in the makeup Of
these departments. So Mr.. Az
erage Citizen takes that with
grain Of salt. If Judge Kern does
follow the business administration
of Mayor Sullivan, he will be a
truly efficient and respected
mayor.
I see in the papers where there
actually is thought of changing
our police chief. If Judge Kern
would allow that to happen, he
will be violating his one and only
general promise-that Of following
Mayor Sullivan's program.
Personally, I can think Of no
concrete reason for Chief Nor
rissey's proposed removal. In talk

last two years, 1 often have heard
comments on Chief MorriSsey's
record for honesty and efficiency.
just stop and consider the wonder
full improvements and moderniza-
ton that Chief Morrissey es-
tablished.
Ask your own and the other
police reporters, as I have, what
they think of the present chief.
Ask the average fair-minded
policeman, regardless of rank,
his honest opinion in comparison
to former chiefs.
Chief Morrissey is one Of the
few men who ever held that office
with the exception of the beloved
Jerry Kinney, who never has open
ly been accused of corruption.
The indianapolis Times claims
to be, and generally is, a fair
newspaper. Print Chief Morrissey's
record with regard to crime cur
tailment, equipment changes,
and cost savings. I think you
would be rendering a public serv-
ice.

member just what it is to be an
American.
In no way do I suggest that the
New Dealers, the Farmer-Laborites
or the Socialists, conventional or of
the Upton Sinclair variety, are more
in the American tradition than the
Republicans and the reactionary
Democrats in general. But our ad-
vanced parties are not controlled by
any authority outside Of this coun-
try and we only can criticise them
fairly as impractical or destructive
and never as unAmerican.
Our nation was founded on a
revolution that was even moresof a
class war, a war between the Tories
who were supported by England
and the Wings who wanted free
dom for the greater masses Of peo-
pie, than a mere war for the rights
of country yet uniformed.

lily of seven should be able 20 feed
them well on $1,000 weekly.
I am a young man, "a, have been
married for two years and have
made a salary OF 1912 weekly since
February, 1888. can not very well
keep two on the salary, so how do
you expect Mr.. Wilson to feed seven
on his salary?
You must be one of those who
never had to scrimp and scrape to
make ends meet, and probably never
earned under $25 or $35 a week, and
try to say others can live on less. If
you would try it, you would not be
so bold about this statement.
When the NRA became effective

BEER LAW SCORED;
LEGISLATORS BLAMED
By Thomas Ralston.

By Thomas RalstOn.
The result of the Indiana beer
law is appalling, because Of its de-
moralizing effect on our children.
Due to the unrestricted sale of
liquor, boys and girls of high school
age and younger all over the state
are congregating in saloons and beer
parlors instead of spending their
evenings in more desirable places.
The blame for this condition rests
entirely on the Democratic mem
bers of the legislature.

MISTAKES OF PAST
SHOULD BE REDEEMED.

MISTAKES OF PAST
SHOULD BE REDEEMED.
Ey Jack Tiresias.
Those who protest that our moral
values have broken down in The
years following the World war and
IN the depression protest in vain
at conditions that always have ex-
listed in time of economic distress
and in times of great social change.
It is true that we need a deeper
belief in mankind and in the spirit
ual nature of men. But until we
are free to work and to be remun-
Grated for our labor, there is little
to come in the way Of spiritual re-
generation.
Because we have been impelled by
greed we have precipitated the COL
lapse of our industrial civilization.
1t is only by generosity and cooper
alton that we can establish 1T once
more. In that civilization, men
either will strive for mental and
moral attainments or they will lapse
again into the struggle for wealth
and power that have brought us low.
But our rebirth, which appears to
be coming slowly, must be first in
economics and that in society. A
hungry and worried man always will
close his ears to the preacher who
says: Forget that your family is
starving, and think of God"
In the meanwhile, as the neces-
sary changes in our business struc-
ture are being made, we only can
lose by trying to drown our sorrows
IN dissipation. We have seen SINH
lar conditions to ours in all periods
of unrest, especially in the time of
the Caesars and after the French
revolution. 1t is not by synthetic
spiritual uplift that we are going
to mend our ways, but with faith
in the permanent and essential fine
esS of humanity.
Instead Of cursing at the morals
of our age, it would be better for
the preachers and mOralists TO Work
for a society in which their ideals
can grow. 1t is no time for one man
to decry the conduct of those who
are motivated by factors beyond the
control of any individual.
1t is the time for all men to work
together in tolerance, in faith and
with energy. And to the Jerimaids,
let us say: What have you done to
bring about these same conditions
that you find abhorrent now? Sure
ly. no one can rest on his oars, criti-
cising the world, when all Of us are
needed now to redeem the mistakes
we have made in the past.

TIMES CONGRATULATED ON
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
BY D. Yaver

Congratulations on your noble
achievement Of passing Liz Arthur
Robinson into oblivion.
Your wonderful editorial and car
toon campaign, more than any
thing else, accomplished this major
operation and the citizens Of Indi-

As the final returns came rolling
in, it was quite obvious the great
majority of people are not the least
bit frightened they are going TO be
regimented or have personal liberty
denied them. The DOGGY man tao
