The Dillinger Escape
Editorial.

did not escape. He was asleep at 900 in the
morning and he failed to awaken!
"Dnlnger proceeded to the warden's Office,
which was untenanted, and the outlaw
snatched two machine guns"
Which was untenanted!" Bad enough
to leave these lethaI weapons where they could
be seized, but to leave them in an empty Of
flee was nothing short Of criminal negligence.
Chief Hoover is right. Escape from good
jail is impossible if the authorities are both
dilgent and honest We can not say at this
moment whether Mrs. Lillian Holley, woman
sheriff, and her aids were honest or dishon-
est, but we do not hesitate to accuse her of
utter unftness for her job. The facts indict
and convict her Of dreadful incompetence
The immediate effect of the Dilinger es-
cape should be the prompt resignation Of Mrs,
Hoiley and a general shakeup Of the other
officials Of the Crown Point Jail.
But if Indiana wants to guarantee the safe
ty of its decent citizens from such mad dogs
as Dillinger in the future, if it wants to hold
its head up in these United States if it wishes
to avoid becoming a playground for plug
uglies, its citizens must do some sober think
ing about law enforcement.
sheriffs have been put in office purely
through political Iavoritism. The voters never
have required that they have any special
training or background for their jobs. The
DiIlinger escape is direct result of this policy.
Jails should be run by specialists, not ward
politicians. Police should be placed under
civil service. The state police force should
be built into a hard-hitting NONPOLTTICAL
organization that can put the fear of the law
into criminals
1t is up to you, Mr.. Citizen.

YOUNG MEN CAN'T
GET WORK, SHE SAYS.
BY Ella Eshelman Clark.

By Ella Eshelman Clark.
I see by The Times that the CWA
workers offer a days pay. Why
doesn't some big BODY Of men give
a days pay for the young men who
can't get employment?
Yes, they give money for clothing,
anything for men with families, but
let the young man starve and freeze.
Sisters and mothers have been car
ing for young sons and brothers on
small wages.
We can get sympathy, but you
can't eat sympathy. I've had two
young men out Of work for four
years-wel, who cares? Every one
comes first, except widows sons.
reared by her with struggle. and
no pull. If they would go out and
hold up a bank, kill a policeman or
sheriff. it would be due to i'm
proper rearing, an ignorant mother
and poor education.
There are hundreds of men draw
ing big salaries who have no heart
for anyone but themselves and their
own families. Liberty, yes, liberty.

HE GIVES HIS VIEWS
ON REAL SOCIALISM

BY G. Ginsberg.
In your issue of Feb. 8 there ap-
peared an announcement of the
lecture of DR.. Frank Bohn before
the KirShbaum Center, "once a
chairman of the Socialist Labor
Party convention in Ohio"
In order that your readers may
not draw the wrong opinion of the
Socialist Labor Party, 1 wish to state
Mr.. Bonn once was national sec
rotary, for a brief period, of the
Socialist Labor Party. He was eX-
PEELED, after brief affiliation with
said party, due to his inability to
understand revolutionary socialism;
and because Of his Opportunistic and
compromising principles.
The Socialist Labor Party, the
only true expression Of socialism, Is
based upon the principles of Marx,
Engels and DeLeOn, and has but one
program the world over Unlike, the
pseudo Socialist movements, it is
intolerant, uncomprOmising keeping
on the straight and narrow path Of
revolutionary socialism. In firm as
surance Of final victory, it pursues
its course unsWerved by weak desire
for temporary advantage.
I don't expect to see this in your
paper, as you have in the past re-
fused to publish the truth about
socialism, willing to call the false
movement the Socialist party, the
real thing. and suppressing any
criticism. If it won't stand the acid
test it is no good.

ERROR IN PRESS
STORY POINTED OUT

BY Reader.
In last Fridays edition of your
paper, United Press dispatch
dated Brussels, Feb. %" contained
this statement:
Princess Astrid of Sweden, Leo
pold's consort, became queen Of the
Belgians, a Protestant queen in this
Catholic country"
Believing as 1 do that you are not
only willing, but anxious to correct
any erroneous impressions created
by articles appearing in your paper,
permit me TO direct your attention
to a dispatch, likewise from BruS-
sells, appearing in today's edition Of
The Register" published weekly by
the Catholic Publishing Society,
Inc, 938 BanAock street, Denver,
Colo. This article contains the fol-
lowing assertion:
Leopold III, the new king Of the
Belgians, is a Catholic and the new
Queen Astrid, a Swedish princess, is
a convert to the church. She was a
Protestant at the time of her mar
riage, but not long afterWard
adopted the religion of her huS-

Capitalism and You

and because they have reaped too
beautifully. Country after coun-
try is going down into the night
of darkness called FaScism. The
acquisitions Of the past two cen
turtles in the realm Of democracy
are drowned in a Welter of blood,
gore and arson. And above all
hangs the threat of another war
so extensive, SO devastating, so
brutal that it will make She late
holocaust look like a barrel house

The only alternative, the only
thinkable alternative for the hOr-
rors at hand, the horrors knocking
at the gate, is a society in which
the means Of production are
owned by society and the where
withs Of existence are produced
for use, for consumption and en-
joyment, instead of for profit. For
the thing that now is destroying
society is production for profit,
rooted in the private ownership Of
the means Of production.

URGES ATTENDANCE AT
CWA EDUCATION CLASSES
By Charles 5. Davis.

BY Charles =. Davis
1 wonder if the people of Indian
apolis realize what splendid courses
are being offered free of charge by
the teachers on CWA educational
project work. An enrolment Of ten
is necessary to start a class, and the
attendance should average ten for
each meeting.
Glasses in all kinds of work are
offered. These classes meet in pub
lie schools. the public Libraries, and
the community centers, days and
nights, yet very few people are tax =
ing advantage Of the opportunities
offered. Most Of the classes have
just the required attendance, and
some of the classes have had to be
dropped because of under-enroll-
ment.
The eva teachers are men and
women Of excellent caliber. Most Of
them have had several years Of
teaching experience, their A. B. and
NJ. A. degrees, and are quite capable
individuals in their lines Of en-
deavor.

POSITION ON WAR
is CLARIFIED.
B F S Rogers.

S Rogers
My position in the open forum at
Butler university recently was not
made clear. The fact is that much
that I said was not quoted. AS a
Socialist I am opposed to war. I
stated that the cause of peace best
can be served by taking the profits
out of both the preparations for
war and the profits in supplying
munitions, ornaments and supplies
in time of war.
I reiterated that the American
armament makers had sabOtaged
the disarmament conference in Lon
don through their lobbyist Shearer.
Therefore, the American Legion also
should take the position that there
should be no profits in the manu-
featuring of ornaments and NUM-
tons in peace time. That if the gov
eminent should manufacture such
ornaments that there would be less
agitation for preparedness.
America then could take the Iead
in the movement for disarmament
the world over. I am opposed to
all consumption, but the CONSUMPTION
of wealth, labor and industry as we'll
as soldiers for war surely would
make war less desirable TO those
who make profits from war.
The money going into ornaments,
because of the failure Of the Lon
don disarmament conference, could
be used better in a program Of slum
clearance, which would create more
employment than the manufacture
ing of arms and undoubtedly be bet
ter for the well being Of our ma
ton and tend to make better
citizens.

to me unsolicited, but my last job
cost me $40 in carfare, two months
in time seeking, and lot of
prayers. Being honest, sober and in
dustrious will aid one in keeping
employed, but l attribute most of
my good fortune to praying. One
time I prayed for work on retiring,
and was shown in a dream the
place, and landed a good job the
next day.
Three years ago was engaged in
relief work and a very shiftless
woman kept coming to me for help.
I finally asked her if she ever went
to the house of God and praised
Him for his goodness. She said, Il
haven't clothes to do that" said,
You have clothes to CAD the streets
and attend shows, so your excuse is
poor. You should, by all means
thank God for all you have"
I hope some unemployed person
will be helped by my words.

BY G. P.
If the purpose of life is to pro-
duce the most possible goods at
the lowest possible cost and, hav-
ing done so, bury life under the
mountains of rotting goods, then
capitalism is a bowling success.
But if, on the other hand, the
purpose Of life is to live as long,
as happily, and as usefully as
man possibly may, then capital
ism is a dismal failure.
For today, when capitalism has
reached the very summit of its
chronological triumph, mankind
finds itself in the blacklist abyss
OF despair. Look where you will
and you will see the millions of
wasted labor and the billions Of
wasting capital. Hunger stalks
in the midst Of bumper crops,
nakednesS sinks past overstOcked
clothing shops.

Of the human race tillers of the
soil are being driven from the soil

Broken Vase
BY VIOLA BARRETT.

This vase I had was beautiful
And old as ancient wine,
My pride in it was sinful.
I boosted that il was mine!
AS with reverent hand I fondled it
And thought Of its aged story,
Its golden dragon breathed to me
A song Of wondrous glory!
But vanity crashed it at my feet
In an ugly distorted mess,
And I sat myself down to weep
At sight of its awfulness.
Till wise one passing said to me:
Things made Of sand we can re-
place
Life being what it $50 rare
What matter it then-a broken
vase?"

that take place in your Message
Center. Occasionally, I like truth
dressed up in scathing language, but
usually Think her more becoming in
more modest attire.
Let me testify in the case of Mr.
Hurd versus the unemployed youth.
The Psalmist said, L have never
seen the righteous forsaken, nor his
seed begging bread" But Paul said,
Il have suffered hunger" so
righteousness is not immunity from
hunger.
I always have been employed.

You don't wonder at race suicide,
do you? Everyone fares better than
the cultured, white American boy.
Yet, you can't get along in America
without the cultured white person,
Washington was a widows son.
Why don't people stir themselves
for our young men. Do something,
don't let them drift. Our country
is full of boys. When a boy comes
to your place Of business and asks
for a job, could you not create one?
Last night I happened to be at a
place where a man about so was
playing bridge. The city kept him
all last winter because he had a
family. He was formerly from Ken
lucky, too. He said to me, Why
can't your boy get work yet?" He
was like the boy who went twenty
miles from home; and, when he
came back, he said IF the world
is as big the other way, it must be
big one"
I'll ask one question, and close.
What do men so today know? Most
Of them, I'll say, are an ignorant
bunch, partly their own fault.

PROTESTS LIGHT CONIPANY'S
VARIOUS DEMAND CHARGES

Ky Mrs. Harry c. West
When the 63-cent demand charge
appeared on our bill from the In
dianapolis Power and Light Com
pany about two years ago, we dis
regarded it as being an error The
next bill was marked "63 cents ar
rears current" I wrote the COM
pany for an explanation, inclosing
a stamped f-addressed envelope.
but received no reply. My husband
went to the office and was told our
rate had been reduced, but they
couldn't make it come out just
right so had to add 60 cents to bal
ance the bills.
Last spring this 63-cent demand
charge was added to a neighbours
bill. He was informed that when
a consumers lights were turned off
because Of nonpayment the public
service commission authorized the
light company to collect the bill
from the immediate neighbors.
A nephew, living 2i2 miles south
Of us, has been paying an 89-cent
demand charge. They told him they
had to give it to the service men
whose wages had been cut.
Another complaining consumer
learned at the office that his g.
cent demand charge went directly
to the meter man who couldn't read
meters fast enough to earn a living.
Now. you tell one Have you all
heard the fable of the man who
got the discount by paying his bill
within ten days?
