TRAFFIC PROBLEMS

INDIANAPOLIS is getting bored with some
of its autoists Traffic problems in this
city have been difficult enough for the last
five years, without careless motorists adding
to the discomfort.
The instances of double parking, even on
Washington street and despite the efforts of
the police department, are getting beyond the
bounds of ordinary traffic courtesy.
There are but few cases of real emergency
which demand that motorist park his car in
the traffic lane that should be open to moving
vehicles. In case of illness or rushing another
person to a physicians Office, this breach of
traffic etiquette can be overlooked.
Drive through the downtown section any
time, Mr.. Motorist, and see how many of your
brothers have their cars planted practically
in the center of busy thoroughfare. And
then think how many times you've done it
yourself
Any steps the police department may take
legally to correct this evil, will be appreciated

A PRAYER
BY t. EKART

BY T. EKART
We have the will, o Lord,
All that we crave is the way;
Ours the courage to dare
The new and the dangerous way.
For it isn't the shock of the fight
That battles and beats us to
earth.
Only the lack of a light on the path,
And the gauge that would prove
our worth.
Thou, who hast guided Washing
ton,
And offered a Lincoln Thine arm,
Surely, with manifold mercy
Shall continue to keep us from
harm.
Yea, though the night hath bound
us
Around, yet in seeking Thy aid
We glimpse a Light on the path
and 60
Forward. unafraid.

, Gated by smoke every night, he
would have something to complain
about.
Every night the Big -Four round
house lays down a smoke screen
around this neighborhood.
Police Chief Morrissey should get
a medal for stopping poor kids from
trying to make a few cents on Sun
day morning, and he may stop these
poor peddlers, but one thing sure,
neither he or anybody else will try
to fight something like this, for there
have been plenty of complaints gone
into the city about this condition,
and nothing has been done. 1t seems
that it gets worse all the time.
So come on Times, maybe you
never knew of these conditions ex-
listing right here in the heart of the
city. See if you can not get a little
action out of the smoke inspector.

months, two times a year.

In the Governors address at the
Democratic state convention, he

The Times as well as the Gov
ernor never will let these mems
families rest in peace. This is un-
fair to the families just because
they happened to be Republicans.
However, if it is well for the peo-
pie to know and never forget these
things. Let us check over few

PICTURES NATION
BEREFT OF GOD

By Paul Wysong.
A deluge of legal and illegal
booze. beer saloons in every con-
ceiYable place and hoyel; labor
disputes and impending strikes; a
father and mother, hand in hand,
wading into the depths Of the Mis-
sissippi river, determined on death
rather than to hear the cries of
their starving children.
The din of collapsing banks and
other financial institutions still
ringing in our ears. Pay envelopes
have become few and meager.
The wolf howls with increasing
ferocity and a nation quails bereft
of its God.
AS write this letter two men
came to my room. In their past
were years when their identity was
lost in prison numbers. These men
want work-anything, at living
Wage-and there is none to be had.
God pity them and others of their
kind. There is a way out, and it's
Gods way, paved with the precepts
of the Golden Rule and lighted by
the masters who have gone before
Debs, Lenin, Marx and Jesus.
Again the star has appeared in
the east, brilliant and reckoning.
Will we follow its lead to Zion?

by the administration for the high
crime of standing by the veterans
When he was for President RooSe-
welt at Chicago he was a scholar
and gentleman. When he toured
the northwest campaigning for
President Roosevelt with his sound
trucks, part of the way through
a blizzard and at his own expense,
if 1 am not mistaken, he was a
statesman and a friend.
But when the administration ac-
cused the former defenders of the
flag of nearly wrecking the ccoun-
try'S credit, Senator Long labeled
it fraud" and ever since has been
a political horsethief in the eyes
of the administration and your
newspaper chain.
For Long to be a progressive and
bolt his party lines at times is rep
rehensible, but when a Norris does
the same thing it is craftsmanship
OF high order and no crime at all.
For pulling the veterans legisla-
ton curtain aside and showing the
same old Mellon principles behind it,
Long was denied patronage by his
own party. Whereupon he promptly
told Postmaster Jim to take his
patronage and ''go to hell with it."
This shocking behavior is exactly
what The Times or any other re-
putable newspaper would say to an
advertiser who tried to buy off the
editor.
Why condemn independence in
others when you claim it as your
own chief virtue?
The veterans have two friends left
in the senate. To what number
would The Times reduce that dele
cation?
Senator Long and the veterans
have much in common. Both went
out to fight at democracy's call for
help. But after the respective fights
were safely won, one is called a
''mountebank," the other 'mendi-
cants."
l am one of the veterans who
never asked for, received or expect
a pension of any sort. never have
voted anything but the straight
Democratic ticket, but attacks on
the veterans and their friends keep
reminding me of Herbert Hoover's
statement that the New Deal is lust
a new shuttle" with the same old
deck of marked cards.
The old hymn said something
about while the light holds out to
burn, the vilest sinner may yet re-
turn" 1t isn't too late for your
paper to get back on the side of the
common people and give the vet
Grams and their friends a little less
Democratic ingratitude.

So is Soak the veteran"

THESE TIMES TEST
FAITH AND HOPE
By friedrich o. Rusher.
Folk are being tested as to their
faith and hope. Some of them are
keeping up their ideals. Others are
with their back to the wall. They
haven't studied the situation out for
themselves.
They are looking for that great
tomorrow that they have heard so
much about. They have single track
minds. They don't think in a
straight line. They are like cattle.
You can drive them anywhere.
You'll have to buck up. Put your
mind to working if you expect to
achieve anything. It won't come to
you. You'll have to go get it. Be
on your guard; when the chance
comes take it.
Why give up? Why admit you're
whipped? Be a sticker and not a
gutter. Leave politics out of it..
Keep your mind clear. When some
one around you starts groaning, tell
him to snap out of it.
You have your own burdens. You
are the one who has to carry them.
Stand up and fight It out. There
is a brighter day coming, but we
don't know when.
We are living in great crisis.
Most of us have been doing fairly
well. There are few who are TAX
ing the joy out of living. They are
brewing a disaster whether it is
coming or not.
Propaganda is a detriment to our
nation. Don't let any one fill your
mind with trash. Don't take the
propaganda too seriously.
What we need is loyalty, strength
and courage. Faith is the one out
standing point. Some of use have
so little of it.

ANOTHER MAN WATSON
HASN'T MET YET

By A Former Republican.
James E. Watson, former sena-
tor, is quoted in the newspapers as
stating the Democratic choice for
senator, Sherman Minton, is the one
man in Indiana he never has met.
He is mistaken. He never has met
the man, at that time compelled to
be a civilian, who saw the telegram
which sent his son, heroic volun-
teer for the marines during the
World war, to California marine
base where shot or shell never would
reach him.
This telegram was from the ma
rirle corps commandment in Guam
tico, and was sent to the local ma
rine corps recruiting station the day
after the former senator's son Of
fered his life to his country.
I saw that telegram and James
Watson never has met me.

BRANDS STEEL INDUSTRY
AS GREED'S APOSTLE

BY H. L.
We hope that Talcott Powell,
editor of The Times, will dip his
pen in his well of keen satire and
stab the steel industry of Gary with
verbal thrusts until it evidences a
spirit of fairness.
With gripping interest we read
the story of his outwitting the capt.
talists' understrappers in Gary.
The arrogance and cruelty of
these petty underlings give us but
a faint conception of the horrid
atrocities of which greed is guilty
when this enemy of labor is given
its way in industry. AS a burning
match is akin to city in flames, so
is the injustice of these company
police related to the unspeakable
horrors of greed practiced upon UNI
resisting natives in the Amazon and
Congo valleys.
Few Christians realize the extreme
to which the greed of unrestrained
profteers goes in inflicting cruelties.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Week-end
evening up of positions on the
Board of Trade today was met with
aggressive buying by commission
houses. Mill demand for wheat also
tended to check a tendency to east

Other world markets reported a
decline in wheat values and the
principal grain started easier on the
local market. Scattered liquidation
vas in evidence early, but the SELL
ing soon ran its course and an APP
preciable rally ensued which sent
prices above the previous closing
levels.
Corn picked up strength when
wheat started on the upside and
other grains soon fell in line. Pro-
visions started weaker, despite firm
ness in the hog market, but later
rallied,
