IN the hysteria that has followed the escape
l. of John Dillinger from the Crown Point
Jail, it appears that Indiana has overlooked
something.
Would it be too pointed to call to the at
tention of law enforcement agencies that Dill
hnger may not be the only prisoner at large?
Think back. you officers of the law, to an
afternoon few weeks before Dillinger strolled
away from Jail. Do you remember, by any
chance, that the newspapers carried a story
that Ernest (Red) GiberSon. suspect in the
Indianapolis Staying of Police Sergeant Lester
Jones, had left for parts unknown?
Do you remember that Giberson said a
hasty good-by?
Perhaps, since Dillinger seems to have the
situation well in hand the states law enforce
ment agencies might turn back the pages to
Giberson and see what can be done about
bringing him to justice.
How about it?

THE AIR MAIL POLICY

n ETURN of the air mail to private COM
N panies under temporary bids is part of
a realistic policy of untangling the situation
created by the Feb. cancellation. Apart
from the issues of guilt or innocence that
brought it on, cancellation has proved that the
army is not capable either through training or
equipment to do the job The record of pri-
vate companies-stin apart from issues of
guilt or aforementioned them to be capa-
BILE of doing the job.
Therefore, as things now stand, if the mail
is to be carried by air at all. equipment and
training of private companies should be
utilized.
The temporary bid policy will. accordingly,
make it possible for the government to pur-
sue its investigation into past charges of
fraud and collision 1t should do this to the
last scintilla of pertinent evidence Furnishing
the guilty and absolving the innocent; and at
the same time getting the air mail carrying
job done without further endangering army
fliers who do not know the routes and whose
planes are not yet fitted to such work.
Under a measure already passed congress
has provided adequate means and appropria-
tons to train and equip the army to carry
air mail. This is a vitality important corolary
to the temporary bid policy. Through it the
government is creating a weapon by which
future exploitation through private subsidies
can be curbed and controlled successfully, as
the Roosevelt power policy provides a yard
stick for private power companies. 1t is i'm
portant also as a matter of justice that, in
following through on the charges which
brought forth cancellation, the government
should present full opportunity for hearing to
all private companies claiming innocence of
collision or wrongdoing
In the final analysis it is more vital to
society that every moral aspect of this whole
controversy be cleared up and settled finally
than it is that people shall be able to get their
mail delivered by air.

WEDNESDAY. MARcH %. 1893.
THE TRUCKING STRIKE

THERE are three parties to the Kibler
Trucking Company strike: The en-
ployes the corporation and the public. IN
fortunately the public seems to have been
forgotten while the other two have been max
ing the streets of Indianapolis a battlefield
for the settlement of their differences.
The strikers, who have gained considera-
bic public support, will lose the sympathy of
neutrals by indulging in violence. They have
a good case and the heaving of bricks and
splitting Of heads adds nothing to it.
The company, whose attitude has indicated
that it believes labor troubles should be set
tied as they we're back in 1890, has asked the
city to deputize private detectives as guards
for their trucks. Such a proceeding can not
and will not be tolerated.
indianapolis wants no mercenary plug
uglies riding the city streets under the dele
gated authority of the community The
regular police are competent to maintain
order
If the evidence presented to the United
States labor board is correct, the KILLER Com
pany has conducted itself in such manner as
to provoke bitterness and violence Last De-
because they exercised their right under the
law to JON the Chauffeurs and Transfers
Union, the strikers say.
The regional labor board then stepped in
and the men were re-instated, according to the
story, and discharged for "other causes" a
short time later If this is true the company
was guilty of an act of extreme violence.
What could be more brutal in these days
than depriving men and their families of their
livelihood simply because the drivers avaied
themselves of their privileges under Section
IA of the national industrial recovery act?
For weeks the Kibler company stubbornly
defied the governments efforts to bring about
a settlement The strikers were at all times
ready to meet the employers under the auspices
Of the regional labor board which was being
backed to the hilt by the national board in
Washington.
Now at last, after street fighting and fiji
teen arrests, the concern is negotiating with
its men. 1t is to be hoped that prompt set
tlement will be reached.
The KILLER company should realize that it
is doing business in an organized society which
is trying to pull out of the worst economic
crisis in the worlds history under the leader
ship of President Roosevelt.
1t must be good neighbor and get in step.
ttff-necked and recalcitrant corporations are
likely to find business increasingly hard to
get. People are firing Of the companies that
are anxious to go back to the disastrous days
of the nineteen-twenties when corporate in
terests were permitted to plumber their en-
ployes and the public without hindrance.
Those who balk at going along in the re-
covery program will discover that they have
only two alternatives: March or die.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
THE VETERANS VETO

A GAIN the country is presented with the
n spectacle of the house of representatives
overriding a presidential veto on more money
for veterans The government already is Civ
ing the veterans upward of two-thirds of
billion dollars a year. The government is
facing a $4,000, 600, 600 debt on the backs Of
the taxpayers, and must get billions more for
the recovery program on which the whole ma
ton depends. And yet the house runs wild.
willing to wreck that recovery program.
OF course. it is a campaign year, and many
Of the representatives are afraid of the vet
Grams lobby at the polls. But that can not
be the entire answer. There seems to be a
sense of responsibility. The same thing
which allows the house to accept an absolute
gag-rue without whimper one minute, seems
to drive it to the opposite extreme the next
minute.
But whatever the house has done, and
whatever the senate may do we believe the
country is behind the President on this issue.
If this turns out to be the first major issue
in congress on which the President is defeated,
it is not the President, but congress that will
suffer in public confidence.
For this debate in one form or another has
been going on SO many years the public mind
at this late date can not be befogged by prop
uganda.
Apart from the all-important recovery pro-
gram, the issue is whether additional expen-
sive special benefits shall be given to veterans
who were not disabled in the war. The war
disabled veterans should be and are being
cared for; where any doubt exists there is
fair and sympathetic opportunity for appeal.
And to make doubly certain that this just
relief shall be accorded, the President has
added $117o0OOOO to the initial $486, 100000
year
What of the veterans who are not in that
class? If they are in need, under the general
recovery and relief program they should be
helped not as a special favored class, but as
citizens of equal rights with other citizens in
distress
That is the just way. That is the honor
able way. And We believe with the President
it is the way most veterans would choose.

PARTY STATES FOR
VOTERS CONDEMNED

By Robert F. Shepherd.
During the last several sessions
of the legislature the people have
been denied their day in court, not
many will deny. That the profess
sional politicians and the highly paid
lobbyist for special and selfish inter-
ests have been able to get theirs,
practically all will agree.
Now with this fact established, or
should be, what is the cause and
what is the remedy? If the people
really are sincere in their desire for
a legislature or any other public
group which, will be truly repre-
sentative of their interests, then it
is up to them to exercise with dis
erection that power which is placed
solely in their hands. Mr.. and Mrs
General Public have in the past been
far too apathetic toward their gov
eminent and those they have Sc
lected to run it. There has been
far too much partyism and not
enough thought to policy and hon
esty of purpose of the aspirants to
this and other offices.
This situation can be changed,
but in order to do so I believe the
following fundamental rules must
be strictly adhere to:
l. Quit permitting the profess
sional party politicians to pick your
candidates for support. That is
just what you do when you vote
party states.
2. Make your own states, after
careful investigation and study of
the various candidates, to deter
mine their politics and their hon
esty to carry out their convictions
after election.
3. Quit voting for just a mere
party emblem. Make that secon-
Diary to the other qualifications.
After these dominant faults have
been corrected, then and only then
will the people ever be able to elect
a general assembly, or any public
official who will be responsive to
their will.

I think that a person who truly
"admires" Dillinger without men
tai reservation needs watching, par
ticularly if he or she be an Adde'S
cent. Admiration" according to
my own definition, is a sort of spirit
ual quality that sprouts from the
heart as we'll as the intellect, and
should debar a jurynan from serv-
ice more than if he had read and
formed his conclusion Of a defend
ants guilt or innocence in advance
Of the testimony adduced at the trial.
How can the spiritual quality of the
heart, admiration" be set in mo-
ton, and the tongue moved to ex-
press for such brute aught but
supreme hatred, scorn, denunciation
and death at sight.
Webster's definition Of "admira-
ton" is this: Wonder mingled with
approval, excited by beauty or ex-
cellence. To regard with delighted
approval" etc.
If you know any one who reacts
thus to Dillinger's escapades, I'd
like to interview him and broaden
my own capacity to thrill with de-
light whenever read that another
bank has been robbed, another
prisons bar lowered by stolen money
Of dead and living victims of this
arch flend, who I would shoot dead
at sight and pull the moose around

and trench rats which rated more
service stripes than the Prussian

who can tell the world that any
man could survive that tortuous

poison gases, and return in good
health?
In comparison, let us consider
the life of ease which was accord
ed the home service soldier No
veteran truthfully can say that
Uncle Sam was not a good pro-
wider when the mess call sounded
in camps over here. Only the
choicest, wholesome food was
placed at your disposal. Excel
lent hospitals with the best of
the medical profession in charge
were located within the sound of
your voice. Actual days of en-
listments of the home service SOL
der in most cases did not exceed
a years total. Sanitary conditions
Of camps never have been dis
puted.
Today a great demand exists
for organized efforts to sustain
our cause. but results never can
be achieved through organizations
whose leaders sell out every year.
One year they want the bonus
and the next year they do not.
Well, Mr.. LegiOnnaire, I am at
a loss to understand what you
were doing so long in that hos
pital that you were able to OBJ
serve so many f1re-eaters doing all
kinds of mental tasks to keep
from going back to the front. Did
it ever appear to you that had
you entered the hospital on &C
count of wounds that you also
might have enjoyed a little over
time there?
There are too many today who
offer only abuse for the combat
soldier. He has been neglected
and denied a well-earned recog-
milton, not only by the less inter
ested but by many of his former
comrades in arms. The ex-combat
soldier harbors no i'll feelings to-
ward the home service veteran,
but I personally will tell the
world that they are not equals in
what the nation owes them. No
policy, political or otherwise, can
make them so. If there is jus
tice in placing the higher rating
on the man who remained back
of the lines, then I certainly must
be suffering from shell shock. If
a pension rating is justified for
simply wearing a uniform, we may
all profit by another war.

To my two buddies (the le-
gionnaire and veteran) 1 en-
phatically wish to say that I have
no apologies to offer and posi-
lively refuse to hang my head in
shame. My statements are based
upon my own observations and
are not representative of any
veterans organization.
AS to your membership figures,
buddie, I am not convinced, but
in the event that the economy
act really had such a Stimulat-
ing influence, then you should hail
it as a savior Of your order. At
the then existing rate of decline
you soon would have had to bor-
row members to form a firing
squad. AS to the political side
of the question, I will refuse a
discussion because I am interest
ed solely in the veterans cause.
Vow as to the legionnaires
statement that many of the legion
are doing everything within rea-
son to assist the unfortunate vet
eran, will agree partly, but they
are handicapped for lack of in
f1uence. Those who possess the
power of influence evidently are
those of the white shirt brigade
who never have heard a gun fired
in battle and are absolutely ig-
norant of the inhuman sacrifices
required of the combat soldier.
With thanks to the editor of
The Times, am able to quote
the comparative figures relative to
the average rate of compensa-
ton paid to the home service
veteran and the combat soldier.
Quote, 1.-THE Times more than
year ago forcefully pointed out
the grave injustices suffered by
men actually hurt in battle. 1t
showed that the average monthly
compensation for disability re-
ceived in battle was 5000, while
disability received in the United
States paid an average of $4857."
How can any reasoning person
explain those figures in line with
good, common sense? From the
days of Cantigny and Chateau
Thierry to the signing of the ar
miStlce our casualties we're 100,-
900, more or less, killed and
wounded. I also believe that rec
ords will show that it was the

The successful escape from prisons

berry and murder by Dillinger seems
to have won the admiration" of
many CD people who are watching
the progress of the scoundrel's eva
sion of the sleuth hounds of the law
on his track.
I can not understand how any
body can admire" such a notorious
robber and murderer, a potential
menace to the lives and property of
law abiding, but defenseless, victims
of his dementia for crimes of the
most dreadful nature. He is a con-
slant terror across the entire nation
How anybody can express or feel
admiration" for this fiend I can
not understand. I'd be glad to have
you broaden by mental conprehen-
sion of the meaning of admiration. !"
Robin Hood, the tabled English
outlaw, lived by his depredations
among the aristocracy of England
but he never shed blood to rob his
victims. His physical strength and
speed of foot and crafty ensnare-
ment of his well-to-do victims gave
him a place in history as master
marauder with benevolent side to
his nature that made of him a wor-
shipful type of hero for children.
Jesse James, Frank James, and
their gang Of robbers operated in
my state of Kentucky sixty years
ago, and we're not unlike Dillinger
in their bloody methods Of killing
and bank robbing. There was a
glamour about their heads-after
their deaths-that I fear polluted
the springs Of life that begot such
imitators as Dillinger. Capone, and
their ilk.

have been trying for years to get
one or two streets cut through be-

the new coach yard. All that The
city would have to do would be to-
buy one of the auto junk yards and
order the Pennsylvania railroad to
elevate. Come on now, get on the
job, or must we turn this job over
to the News?
Members of the works board say
it will be impossible to get the
streets cut through at this time
because it would necessitate a
track elevation project, an inn
prOvement that the South Side
Civic League has been trying to
obtain for several years. The city
has exceeded its bonded indebt-
