Resumed Soon.

By Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 30.-Long

son, swept by a fire that caused
damage estimated at more than
$500, 900 to business blocks, was re-
stored today.
B. H. Early, local manager of the
Indiana Bell Telephone Company,
which suffered a $250,000 loss, said
today that local service would be re-
sumed as soon as quarters could be
obtained and lines laid.
The Citizens Bank building, hous-
ing the telephone company, the Fair
store, and numerous Offices, was a
total loss.
The fire was thought to have
started early yesterday morning in
the basement of the Star store, the
city's largest department store. The
blaze ragged more than seven hours
before firemen battling in sub-zero
weather could eXtinguish the
flames. Seven firemen and one po-
liceman were sent to the hospital
with minor injuries. The building
and fire apparatus were covered
with ice.
Fighting their way through smoke
and flames, Ell DeWeese and George
Dinwoody, Anderson p olicemen,
carried to safety telephone opera
tors, who had remained at their
posts until the last minute.
Practically every building within
the block bounded by Meridian,
Main, Eleventh and Twelfth streets
was in flames. Damage to stock in
the Fair store was estimated at
100000, with a similar loss to the
building. The East block, adjoining
the Citizens bank building, was list
ed as a total loss with fire and
water running the structure.

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 30.-Ogden
L. Mills, last secretary Of the treas
ury in the Hoover administration,
last>night made forceful attack on
the Roosevelt recovery program in

opening bid for the Republican
nomination for President.
Mr.. Mills was the principal
speaker at a Kansas day banquet
annual love-feast Of Kansas Re-
publicans.
He made a vigorous attack on
Capitalization of power in the hands
Of the President. and criticised
severely the monetary maneuvers of
the Roosevelt administration. His
1900 hearers applauded vigorously.
Mr. Mills warned Of dire results If
emergency relief measures are made
permanent policies and condemned
in strong language the governments
asserted attempt 70 regulate the pri-
vate lives of citizens.
Congress Action Scored
He called upon Republicans, as
the minority party, to permit the
adoption Of no important measures
until they have been subjected to
the tests of critical analysis and
open discussion"
Mr.. Mills severely criticised con-
gress for its hurried granting of un-
precedented powers to President
Roosevelt.
The abdication by the congress
and the delegation of powers to the
executive are in effect creating a
government of men without any
practical limitations of law" he
said.

DOING THEIR DUTY

Regrettable as the shooting in
Minneapolis and other strikes
has been lately, it is difficult to
see how it can be avoided if any
semblance Of government is to
be maintained. Everyone, every
where, cheerfully comedies the
right of men to go on strike, to
quit their jobs any time that
wages or conditions do not suit
them, but certain elements
among strikers everywhere feel
that, once strike is declared,
they have the right to assume
the functions of government.
They form mobs, beat and
otherwise abuse anyone who at
tempts to work in their places,
and attack officers who try to
perform their duties in keeping
streets open to traffic. Two off,
GERS were killed while doing
their duty on the streets of Min
neapolis during the last strike.

QUESTION OF LAW

1 have read Governor Olson's
reply to the Employers Com
mittee. I am simply a poor
business man of Minneapolis
and of course have not the abil-
ity to see why he so persistently
befogs the issue. I would like
to ask him a few questions.
Is there still law on the sta
tute books Of Minnesota? Is the
law the same as it was six
months ago? Or, is G GOVERNOR
Olson the law, and can he ig-
more the statute books, and in
terpret and execute the law as
he sees fit?
Does the Governor know that
the so-called strikers have stop
ped trucks in the streets, have
in some cases unloaded them,
and in some cases carried off the
truck and driver until satisfied
to let him go?
Does the Governor know that
when they stop the truck, they
are hold-up men; that when
they carry off the truck, they
are thieves; that when they
carry off the driver, they are
kidnappersY This was so six
months ago. Have the laws been
abrogated? Because they call
themselves strikers, are they
less criminals?
Have the constituted author
tiles of the city lost their right
to preserve the peace, protect
property and punish rioters? If
the rioters resist and insist on
stopping and unloading trucks
contrary to the laws Of Mime
sofa, which give them the right
full use Of the streets, and after
repeated warnings, they refuse
to obey, and the police are COM
PEELED to shoot, are the police
murderersY
Do the laws Of Minnesota per-
nit any body of men, no matter
what they call themselves, to
block the streets, refuse to allow
traffic to pass and refuse them
all the rights Of citizenship? IF
they do, Governor, please give
me the volume, page and line
where these laws may be found.
Governor, please no not throw
up smoke screen by abusing
the Citizens Alliance, The Jour-
nal, or myself. just answer
these qusetions, if you can.
Citizen.

read occasionally, in commu-
mist propaganda rags, such as
the "Daily Worker" But this
] know of communism and you
should know it and that is:
There's no place in these
United States of America for
Russian communism nor for
those who preach it's damnable
doctrine. And, Larson:
Whether or not you are a
member of the communist
party, bear this in mind:
The day is coming when COM
munism will leave the shores of
the United States or it will be
driven out, bag, baggage and
breetches.
The men who founded this
country left the Old World to
escape mental and physical serf-
dom. They carved this nation
out of a wilderness; they Grim
soned it's frontiers with their
blood and we who came after
them, with their blood in our
veins and their marrow in our
bones, are NOT going back to
the Old World in a communist
garbage truck nor are we going
to permit fascism, nazism OF
communism to stamp out the
spirit Of a free America.
From old Ft. Duquesne, from
Yorktown, from the soil where
Andersonville prison once
stood and from a score of south
ern battlefelds- wherever the
frontier or wherever the Flag
waved, the spirit of MY people
bids me die as they and I have
lived free men and American
citizens.
Let me close this by quoting
the second-last paragraph of
your letter:
Il am not writing this in
contempt or with malig-
nant design of evil on my part
but just merely as my personal
opinion about the policy you
employ in regards to the work
ing and common people of our
great city,

hell!
I certainly got myself all
wound up in Mr.. Larson's hair,
didn't I? I didn't think and
wouldn't have believed, that
gentleman with q Scandinavian
monicker could get so riled up
over a mere trife-such as Rus
sianizing these United States.
Larson, I'm in a rare good hu-
NOR this Saturday evening, else
I'd say things to you that I'd
be awfully sorry for all next
week, but at any rate:
Any old time I pretend to
represent and work for the
working class" and DON'T
"rake down the communist
press" I'll renounce my citizen
ship and start padding a canoe
toward Russia-and Mr.. Lar
son, that tip is for you, if you
never buy another Saturday
Press.
You see, it's something like
this, Larson:
When your forefathers were
spearing lutefsk through ten
foot thick ice and wondering
when the next coastal storm
would heave some wood ashore
SO they wouldn't have to cook
the fish over a wet-moss fire, my
ancestors were building stock
ades through the first few Of the
original Thirteen Colonies and
shooting wild turkeys and wild
er Indians in what is now Ken
lucky and the New England
states. So when you pipe up
real loud about loyalty to coun-
try and American citizenship,
you're taking in the wrong ter
ritory and too much of it.
I'm not at all shy about ques-
tioning the sincerity of your cit
izenship, Larson-you or any
other naturalized citizen who
talks or writes as you evidently
talk and certainly write. If
You think the communists of
Russia have so nearly ushered
in the Utopia, why don't you go
there? Let me answer that ques-
tion for you and for every other
water-logged and embryonic
communist:

ment wouldn't allow you to
land on Russian soil! And if you
slipped in and the ''red"
authorities located you, they'd
shoot you on general principles
You say that I know as well
as you that "the communist
party is the only organization
that really ;. fights in the in
terest of the working class in
this city and this country and
throughout the world"
You re off on the wrong foot.
| know nothing of the kind and
you don't either-and the rea-
son is that there's not an atom
of truth in your statement. The
communist party in this city, is
the communist party in every
city and in every country of the
world-a threat to civilization.
Just what has the communist
party done for the working
class in this city, Mr.. Larson +?
Let me tell you some of the
things it hasn't done:
1t hasn't done the city any
good, it hasn't done you any
good, because there s no good to
be found in communism, wheth-
er in this city, country or any
nation Of the world. Now let
that perk through your noodle.
There is nothing good in COM
munism! Communism is the
foul foam that oozes from the
sewer pipes of Shoal. It is to
civilization what the bubonic
plague is to the human race
death.
In this city, a dozen lousy,
moth-eaten, brainless wonders
who yowl against and urge the
overthrow of our government
and the adoption of proletarian
rule-communism-have forced
more than five thousand work
ers to stand idle while rufians
and communists riot and raise
hell. A handful of weevil-
Drained burros, who haven t the
intelligence of mud turtle but
have the vocal organs of a cali
ope and the courage of coyotes.
have cost the workers and COM
mon people of this city a mil
lion dollars in lost wages within
the last ninety days. And then
you and your kind babble of
