what is. I take it you are for
McNutt. You had better get wise to
yourself for he is not doing any
thing for you. You are just a mine
run voter. You have to be de-
serving Democrat to get any service
in Indiana. I have read articles in
papers and the Literary Digest
where he has his eye on the Presi-
Dental chair for 1910. With his
present-day tactics, that is all he
is going to get on it.
This ex-senator you mentioned is

Poor Aid System Scored

The families who need help the
least get the most help without a
murmur from any one. The fami-
lies who need help most, get the
least help, and are begrudged and
questioned to death for what they
do get. Why? just because those
who need help may happen to
have a few decent articles of fur
niture in their home, left over
from good times"
These welfare workers think
that the owners of such furniture
do not need any help. That fur
niture does not pay rent or buy
clothes or feed hungry mouths!
I'd like to see some one sit down
to a meal of broiled chairs and
fried lamps. Must these families
sell their possessions and live in
a hovel before they can obtain
help? It seems so!
The Presidents square deal"
includes the entire United States.
But the relief fund" for the poor
inhabitants of Indianapolis seems
to be very one-sided affair. For
a few examples, just ask for them
through The Times. 1 am sure
the request will be answered by
quite a few Of those who know.

MAYBE HE HASN'T
TIME TO READ

BY Ex-Republican.
Excuse me, Mr.. Maddox, for
n1ingling in your dispute with Mr..
Kimmerling regarding Socialism,
but there is one paragraph in your
letter upon which I feel I must
throw some light, because your idea
about that point seems to be rather
prevalent throughout the country.
I refer to the following, 1.-THE
kind of Socialism which produced
the French revolution and the pres
ent Russian revolution is contrary
to the spirit and letter of our Con-
stitution."
To this I will remark that no kind
of Socialism ever produced these
revolutions or any other. I venture
to say that no political party ever
will be able to produce a revolution
out of blue sky. The French
revolution came as a result of dec
AIDES of bad government, which
finally had reached a point where
the people had been turned into
paupers. The Russian revolution
had similar causes, and, on top of
it all, the people were tired of fight
ing a war for the ruling classes.
Bad government and injustice are
the only things that can produce a
revolution and, since good govern
ment and justice is incompatible
with capitalism, bloody revolutions
will have to come in all countries,
unless the Socialist party can grow
strong enough to prevent such a
disaster, and establish the co-opera-
tive commonwealth by peaceful
means. For this reason, all who
work against Socialism actually
work for a bloody revolution.
I believe that the rest of your
letter will be taken care of by Mr..
Kimmerling, but it is my opinion
that you read your Constitution in
much the same way as the devil
reads the Bible.

BECK HAS A CONVERT

N the only man in the country who thinks
MIRA and other recovery acts are unconstitu-
tional Another has been found to agree with
hin-Professor Andrew Bruce of Northwest
ern University.
But the professor was the only legal ex-

by the men whose business it is to find defects

movies. Horse stealing is a favor
tie topic with Mr.. Grey and other
western romancers; and individ-
uals who stand for swift corporal
punishment will tell you that
horse stealing was stopped in the
old west because they hanged the
thieves without mercy.
But it wasn't. Horse stealing,
as a matter of fact, never did stop
until the horse lost his market
value. Then nobody wanted horses
any more, and as a natural conse-
quence the brisk trade in stolen
animals fell of. In its place was
substituted an even brisker trade
in stolen automobiles.
The old west was indeed a law
less land. But don't be fooled by
the idea that righteousness and
morality we're established there by
ny hangings INDUCED in by noble
and law-abiding inhabitants. The
truth makes less comfortable
reading. Because in the old ro-
mantle, glamorous west the out
laws organized most of the mobs
and did about niIle-tenths Of the
ynching. =

HERE'S SOME MORE
ABOUT CWA

By A Times Reader.
I noticed the letter in the paper
abodt the CWA workers concerning
the rainy day. I am one Of the
workers in Monroe county and
truthfully can say that all the men
who worked that Tuesday in the
rain did not work on their own &C
cord. Mr.. Murphy drove part of
them out of the buses like you
would a bunch of sheep.
I guess some of Mr.. Murphy's
little straw bosses have written this
letter. From that day to this the
men have had no more respect for
Mr.. Murphy for that reason. Libel
deleted) There was some craps
shooting going on. The men who
did not work that day asked Mr..
Murphy in a nice way to send them
back to town, but he was bull-head-
ed and left the buses an hour and
a half longer. Mr.. Murphy cursed
one of the workers on the bus. He
continually is cursing workers out,
so please print this letter in the
Message Center.

BY One Who Observes.
Certain people" have been re-
ceiving a good many low punches
from a few big shots of the white
collar army. BY the term Ger
tain people," I mean those who
because of lack of work, must de-
pend on the relief fund as
means Of existence.
When I say "a few big Shots I
mean those who are the so-called
managers of the poor relief fund.
Managers? Well, perhaps there
are a few who believe in trying
anything once. But it seems to
me that it's high time to let some
one else have a try at the manag-
ing. They might do a little better,
but it's improbable that they
could do much worse!
One of President Roosevelt's
notices is to give every one
square deal. Now, I think, and I'm
sure great many others think,
that every one should follow his
fine example.
Now, for the benefit of those
who have failed to grasp the
meaning of the preceding, I shall
endeavOr to be more explicit.

WALL STREET PROTEST

THERE are a whole lot of what the boys
l. call angles to this business of heavy
spending by the federal government. One
of them was touched upon the other day by
a certain congressman, who went to New
York to dine with some friends who are promi-
ninent in Wall Street.
At the dinner the Wall Street men expressed
their fear of overlarge government bond
issues for public works; in fact. they said flat
" that if any more money were appropriated
for public works, Wall Street simply would
refuse to buy the bonds.

A WOman's Viewpoint
. By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TINE old west has suffered from
u hero worship. Even the brave
pioneer has been used too often
to point a despicable moral. I
refer to recent laudations Of the
stalvart COW man for constituting
himself jury and executioner in
the wide reaches Of the grazing
lands during the dear old days.
Advocates Of these bygone
methods Of punishment always
omit one important fact. how
ever; that the west is fortified
by the bones Of good citizens who
died because of the high handed
idea that in certain instances it
is justifable for a man to i'm
personate the law.
There we're occasions, many Of
them, when justice was right
eously dispensed. But for each of
these there took place a thousand
ruthless, unjust hangings.
