You know the Republicans didn't
do such bad job of running this
country as the Democrats try to
make the public believe.
In the 152 years Of this country's
existence. the Democrats have ruled
1t for only eighteen years. I don't
believe this country has been run
SO poorly in the past, and if the Re-
publicans get the cooperation of
the people, the same as President
Roosevelt has. I believe it won't take
them many years 10 straighten out
what the Democrats have tangled
in the past eighteen months.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-23

By Edgar A. Perkins Sr.
In his address to the Republican
editors at their meeting at Wa
vase late in August Senator
Arthur Robinson stressed the
point that the voters in Novem-
Der would be called on to choose
between two sets of principles and
not merely to decide between can
didates wanting Office.
To his credit it can be said that
Senator Robinson, since he ac-
lively began his quest for re-elec-
ton. has not followed the pussy
footing tactics of some of his
party brethren, but he has been
out in the open denouncing the
Roosevelt policies. deriding the
brain trust and viewing with alarm
that destruction which is await
ing us.
Although the senator proposes
no particular remedy for what
even he admits are ailments call
ing for correction, he leaves no
doubt that he will, if returned to
the senate, oppose the New Deal
program.
The issue is thus joined as be-
tween the senator and his Oppo-
nent Sherman Minton. The latter
unequivocally says that if he is
elected he will support the Presi-
dent in his program. AS the pro-
gram of the President is fairly
well understood, this makes it
possible for the voter in Indiana
to make his choice with fair
chance that his views will be re-
f1ected by his representative in
the United States senate.
So any one opposed to the New
Deal may vote for Senator Robin
son, and any one favorable there
to may vote for Mr.. MintOn with
the assurance that no mistake will
be made insofar as registering
ones view is concerned.
The only fly in this ointment is
that those voting for Senator Rob
inson will know only that they
are against what is. but are not
informed as to what is to take the
place of that which We have.
Contrariwise, Mr.. Minton is
pledged to the support Of the
Roosevelt policies, among which Of
especial interest to labor is pro-
tecting labor in its right freely
to organize. to be free of the men
ace Of yellow dog contracts, to
initiate some plan of unemplOy-
ment insurance, to foster old age

HOME UNDERMINING
GIVEN PRAISE.

By Home Lover.
It will be interesting to watch the
modernizatiOn of the exhibition
house, which recently was placed on
the lawn of the federal building, and
which we learn from newspaper Sto-
ries is to be repaired before the eyes
of the public from a shack to a we'll
kept modern. convenient home.
This policy of undermining and
repairing them, through the help of
loans insured by the government, is
one of the New Deal activities which
will have a definite effect on many
families.
Like the home loan law, which,
though it has received much criti-
cism from anti-Roosevelt politicians,
has been t. means of saving the
homes of many unfortunate persons,
it gets at the bottom of one of the
fundamental needs of the country.
Americans really are home-lov-
ing people They have a pride IN
the place in which they live, and
there are many families who have a
sense of security in knowing that
they will have a place of their own
in which to spend their declining
years.
They have watched homes deteri-
crate in these lean years, and have
hoped for some bit of good luck
which would allow them to make re-
pairs to keep their homes from fall
ing to pieces about them.
Now they are to see just how this
can be done, in the "guinea-pig
house" at the federal building. It's
one more mark on the right side of
the ledger for the New Deal.

column s. find under this heading
Pardon, Your Honor, But the Flagl
It's Hung Incorrectly"
The writer states that "Immedi-
ately behind Judge Cox is draped
an American flag hanging with the
stripes vertical, and that any one
facing the judge can not help but
note that the blue field is on the
left instead Of in the proper place
on the right"
Well, if the writer will read rule
No. 8 Of the national flag code. as
adopted by national flag conference,
he or she will find the following:
When displayed either horizon
tally or vertically against a wall,
the union should be uppermost and
to the flags own right. i. E.. to the
observers left. When displayed in
window, it should be displayed the
same way, that is, with the Union

pensions, and in general to start
on the road of social regeneration
that will mean, insofar as human
ly possible, to make this world
little better place for all; in other
words to reduce the homeless, the
hungry and the hopeless to the
minimum.
This is nothing new to organized
labor. 1t has been the social pro-
gram of that element. One may
honestly differ as to whether it
can be accomplished. But this is
the objective of the New Deal
program. And Senator Robinson
is honest enough to say that he OPP
poses that which is being pro-
posed.
In other words, vote for Mr.
Minton, as the record now stands,
in the view of that part of labor
supporting him for the senate, is
a vote to subordinate property
rights to human rights; to give
the forgotten man his opportu-
nifty Mr. Minton is not lodging
the issue.
The above for the information
of Charles McFall, who says he is
a Democrat and a member of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, and who in The Indianapolis
Times of Oct. Is gives his reasons
for supporting the candidacy of
Senator Robinson, and tells but
part of the story Of labor's attitude
in this campaign.
No one can rightly criticise Mr..
McFall for his choice. If in his
judgment Senator Robinson is
the better man for the place, then
he should support him to the best
Of his ability. But Mr.. McFan
should not permit his enthusiasm
incident to his conversion to lead
him into strange and fantastic
reasoning. It is true that the rail-
road brotherhoods and the shop
crafts have given Senator Robin
son clean bill, but, on the other
hand, the American Federation of
Labor, Of which the shop crafts
are a component part. but with
which the railroad brothedhoods
are not affiliated, has given its
unqualified Endorsement to the
New Deal program. This is what
Senator Robinson is opposing in
his campaign.
Mr.. McFall had better keep
close up to the mourners' bench
for, unless all signs fail, he is due
for a rude awakening a few
hours after s the night of Nov. 6.

When making public appearances
these men preen themselves, pull
down their soft hats and try to look
very mysterious and brusque as is
the traditional manner described for
sleuths by spirit-minded Arthur
Conan Doyle and Edgar Wallace.
There seems to be no doubt that
the federal men are more astute
than local flatfeet and state troop
ers, but after all, is that denoting
so much?

so-called manhunt for the late John

BELIEVES FEDERAL AGENTS
SUFFER FROM EGOTISM
By Tom Ward.

By Tom Ward.
Something should be done about
suppreSsing the bright young men
who are hired by the department OF
justice to do Sleuthing. These agents
demonstrate an undemocratic prin-
ciple-faulty distribution of the ego.
What with changing frontiers OF
society and more equal distribution
of wealth. it is a scurrilous trick
for the federal agents to be hogging
a major share Of egotism: probably
the agents themselves are not to
blame.
They have been reading the news
papers and discovering how they
should act. This seems to be an era
now when any young man who has

that the money that is being spent

I also see a large signboard on the

NEW YORK, December 15.-Vary-

today while the market generally
stayed in a rut.
Tape watchers detected better tone
to the share list. On the surface,
however. average final prices showed
little change.
Typical week end peace prevailed in
most markets. Turnover in the Stock
Exchange totaled 464,o shares COM
pared with 458,740 last Saturday, but
much of 1t was in a handful of issues,
notably Radio common.
With traders marking time awaiting
political and business developments,
the bond market merely held its
ground and leading commodities fluc-
tuated uncertainty within narrow
limits.
Some fair-sized selling orders in

Anderson with interest.

But it wasn't even Stolen," I
interrupted.
"No, it wasn't" replied JudSon.
