just a word concerning the
recent Literary Digest poll. On
Saturday night I attended meet
ing in Noblesville of approximate
500 persons in which the speaker
conducted a poll. He first asked
how many of those present had
received a ballot from the Lit
erary Digest in the poll last spring
Practically everyone Of the 500
raised hands Signifying their re-
ceipt of that ballot. Next he
asked, how many had received
ballot in the most recent poll of
the Digest. Not a single hand went
up. The speaker insisted that he
really wished to know if anyone
present had received a ballot on
the last poll, and again not
hand went up.
I have always received a bal
lot from the Literary Digest on
each of its polls, but did not

BRANDS DEMOCRATS
VETERANS FOES

By William R. Rosebrock.
The promising Democrats are at
it again. Faith will be kept" A
Democrat in the United States SEN
ate and a solid Democratic delega-
ton from Indiana in the congress
is the veterans best bet for justice.
All very pretty in SO many words.
But what are the facts? Senator
Frederick Van Nuys promised the
same thing and deceived all who
supported him. Administration man,
if you please, right or wrong.
I ask, in the name of justice, how
a candidate of the Democratic party
can appeal to the veterans for votes
after the treatment received from
the present administration?
Sherman Minton knows the exact
words of the President he pledges
to support Here are the words:
mo person, because he wore a
uniform, thereafter must be placed
in a special class of benehciaries
over and above all other citizens"
Do you believe that an awakened
American public stands for this
kind Of treatment for its defenders?
ITO care for him who shall have
borne the battle and for his widow
and his orphans" said Abraham
Lincoln. And again. War veterans
have a greater claim upon us than
any other class of our citizens

Do you stand for this, Mr.. Min
ton? Senator Arthur r. Robinson
does and his party also.

HE'D OUTLAW SOCIALISM
AND COMMUNISM


Another Times reader and Noah
H. Little, aided and abetted by an
ex-Republicap, come to the defense
Of socialism in such a manner as
to indicate that they have a very
bad case Of sociaitis.
Mr. Little wants to explain what
socialism is, so he quotes from
WebSter's dictionary. Socialism is a
theory Of society" says Mr.. Webster,
and that is all there is TO socialism.
1t is a theory and nothing else.
These writers who are trying TO
explain what socialism really is
should read up on the Russian ex-
pertinent in socialism. The expert
ment in Russia has already cost
from 10000. 900 to l5,0OO.O0 lives IN

UNLUCKY IN HISTORY

EIELD MARSHAL ALEXANDER Won
l. KLUCK, who died in Berlin the other
day at the age of IS, will go down in history
with about as melancholy a claim to fame
as any military man could have.
It was Won Kluck who commanded the
right flank army when Germany swept
through Belgium into France in 1914. The
great invasion seemed irresistible, for time
then. suddenly. something went wrong,
the right flank had to retire precipitately,
and that long series of scattered fights known
as the battle of the Marine resulted in a shat
tering German defeat.
Won Kluck was the man on the spot in all
this. The defeat was not his fault. Moltke,
then the commander chief, must take that
responsibility.
But Won Klucks name is the name one re-
members in connection with it. AS long as
military history is studied, he will be known
as the man who was beaten at the Marine

DEATH OF LIBERTY IN
AMERICA RECORDED

BY Harley 1. Newton.
America was once prosperous and
people could get employment and
they never realized that the time
would come in the good old U. S. A.,
Christian enlightened America, the
land of opportunity, "the land of
the free and the home of the brave, y
that 100000 persons would one
day be as the serfs of Russia or the
poems of Mexico.
They were taught, and believed,
that George washington and his
revolutionary arm brought forth
upon this continent a new nation,
conceived in liberty, and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are
created equal" and that the Consti-
tuition gave us a new birth of free
DOM" when it was established and
ordained to promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our
posterity."
But today all this teaching APP
pears to be lost, and all the suffer-
ing and all the tears shed by the
widows and orphans of the soldiers
of the revolutionary and subsequent
wars, were in vain, and the princi-
pies that Washington and Lincoln
fought for we're trifleS. Our liberties
are being taken away.
Patrick Henry, the Colonial orator,
said, Give me liberty or give me
death"
The citizens of that period were
in unison with that declaration but
now our liberties are gone, and
100000 persons say, Give us your
meager dole, else we starve."
When honor is gone, all is gone,
and in losing our liberties, we have
lost our honor. To prove that our
rights are gone, let us refer to the
first amendment of the Constitution.
1t says:
Congress shall make no law re-
speeding an establishment of reli-
gion, or prohibiting the free exer-
else thereof, or abolishing the free
dom Of speech, or Of the press, or
Of the people to peaceably assemble,
and petition the government for
redress or grievances"
What about our boosted freedom
of speech? Just start making a
speech in one of the large cities,
telling Of present conditions, and
Immediately the speaker will be ar
rested and cast into prison as a dan
gerous person.
Eugene V. Debs was sent to the
penitentiary and disfranchised for
making speeches and telling people
the truth during the World war.
Then there were the soldiers sent
to France to fight to make the world
safe for democracy. While there,
they endured the horrors of a living
hell. The miserable remnants Of a
once glorious manhood, manned and
gassed, they returned home to their
native land and peaceably assem-
bled and went to Washington to
"humbly petition the government
for redress Of grievances.
Did this government Of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
ple." hear their cry for justice? In
deed it did, and the chief execu-
tive called the army and had it at
tack the former defenders and rout
and disperse them, proving that
American citizens have not the right
to peaceably assemble and petition

NEW DEAL POLL
HELD LACKING
By A Times Reader

by a lines Reader
Your editorial regarding the
Literary Digest poll on the New
Deal seems logical and well ex-
pressed. especially when contrasted
with one Of the same day in a city
Republican paper, which pretends
to see strong swing back to the
old order, and election Of a group
of Republican representatives elect
ed from Indiana.
While the poll of 100000 under
taken earlier in the year should give
US fairly accurate index as to the
sentiment Of the people, it is quite
doubtful if any such significance can
be given to 43-10O Of l per cent Of
that number, or the $1,000 polled in
this last count. And as only about
10 per cent Of persons polled vote,
according to all past records, this
would give US the sentiments Of ap-
proximately $500 persons through
out the country, certainly too small
a number to make any accurate and
far reaching deductions from, espe-
cially when the basis for selecting
the names is not given.
Most Of US Will be somewhat
skeptical about so pronounced
swing away from the administration
in so short a time. But even if
there is significance to be attached
to the poll. which I doubt, there is
no reason to feel the public favors
"a return to the old order Of the
Republican party.
Judging from the nominees in
Mississippi, California and Massa-
chusetts, it would be just as logical
to assume the people are dissatisfied
because they feel the New Deal has
not gone far enough, and want
something more liberal.

Of course, have voted in favor of

Naturally, the question that en-
ters my mind is whether or not
the Digest eliminated some of those
who voted in favor Intentionally
for political purposes, but not know
ing of its political affiliations, I
only wonder.
At any rate, my conclusion is that
the second poll is at least partly
wrong, and it might be that if the
Digest were checked up on, large
number might be found who did
not receive the second question:
naire. I believe the truth has been
distorted somewhere.

You state in part:
In March and April, the Literary
Digest sent missionaries to 5000
persons, asking whether they ap-
proved the Roosevelt administration
acts and policies, and in August and
September repeated the same ques-
ton TO the same persons"
My wife and I and two other per-
sons I know received these ques-
tionnaires in March and April, and
we all voted in favor of the New
Deal. None Of US received the Au-
gust and September questionnaires
and had we received it We would.

EDITORIAL

There have been quite few alb
sences from school among the pupils
the main reasons being colds and
working. $2O,0O0,O00 is raised annually
for school purposes. About half this
amount is supplied by the county and
state. In our school district this am
cunts to about AZ cents per day for
high school students coming on the bus
and 80 cents for grade pupils who ride
on the bus Those high school students
who do not live within this district
draw about IS cents per day. Every
day a pupil is absent, the school does
not receive that amount. So let's miss
as little school as possible, in order
to help keep the school going the full
nine months.
