Now just why was it necessary tc
take her along? AS a matter OF
fact, why should money be spent
to return prisoners to Indiana and
proceed with an expensive trial when
they are wanted in other states for
as much, or more, than Indiana has
against them?
can not say much for Governor
McNutt, in permitting such burdens
to be placed on the innocent public.
Though one should not expect any
more from that Office since, from
the previous actions of Pleas Green
lee, McNutt is not really the Gov
ernor, but is being paid to hold the
Office.
Such things as these are an out
rage to the public, and an end of
such should be made by the legis-
lature.

There seems to be quite a row
in your Message Center about the
way our poor relief is being
handled. one man borrowed four
baskets of coal while waiting for
his order. Another lady says that
he will be lucky to ever get it.
I wonder if they realize what a
tremendous job they have at the
trustees office. Any person can
get good idea by stepping into
the office on Senate avenue.
A year ago last November I
applied for relief and was assigned
a job for two days a week at the
Southeastern avenue dumps. From
there I went to Christian park,
and from there to the State Board
Of Charities office. During that
time 1 missed my basket three
times and my coal once. I cried
and raved as much or more as
any of them.
I even told my friends that I
was going to write to your paper
and tell you what a rotten outfit
the trustees office was. I'm glad
that I didn't.
About June, 1882, I was trans
ferred to the Office of the emer-
gency work committee and was as
signed a job at the desk with Mr..
Dietzenberger. My job was to as
siSt him to assign new men to
work and also to listen to and ex-

it is going TO find itself crowded of the scene,
giving place to public ownership. Much as
the utility companies dislike having their ex-
penditures scrutinized and checked, the al
tentative they face is even more disturbing
from their point of view. For them the smart
thing would have been provision in their MIRA
code for holding company regulation. They
missed the opportunity and the next step
must be legislation.
The federal power commissions request for
authority over holding companies is con-
sentative request and one that should be
granted at once before events move beyond
the point where it can serve a useful purpose.

CASTS DOUBTS UPON
WAR FOES MOTIVES
BY Earle c. Bailey

BY Earle c. Bailey.
We now hear that several ma
tons are deeply interested in doing
away with part of the horrors Of
war. That is good, but there is a
question as to their motives.
Is it love? We think not. In
the past, if Presidents, congresses,
kings, parliaments, etc., were afraid
their own hide might be punctured,
they could order some one else to
the front.
Now the front is everywhere.
These more important ones are in
danger of bombs, gas, ETC., anywhere
they happen to be. If they can pre-
vent cities from being bombed, gas
from being used and the smashing,
crashing tanks from forcing their
way to them, war will be pleasant
to them.
Yes, the buck private can eat the
fire. His wounds will not smart as
would the dainty hides Of the rulers.
We agree with them on that much
disarmament, and wish they could
see the need of more-with the right
motive.

This factor OF public interest, we believe.
is an important one which the United States
Lawn Tennis Association should consider in

contests would excite and delight the public.
Would they cut into the gate receipts OF big

HOW WONDERFUL ARE
OUR BELIEFS?
BY Dnem.

By Dnem.
Lincoln Stefans is right. The
year 1888 was the funniest in any
ones life. From the beginning of
the world one of the aims of the
people was to produce a surplus of
the necessities which provide food,
clothing and shelter. Through the
products of surplus it eliminated
the danger of famine, offered addi-
tional time for the pursuit of recrea-
ton and to engage in the arts.
We have accomplished that which
has never been done before, sur
plus of everything. Why should we
cry hard times in such a land OF
plenty? The voters will not agree
that we have wrong system of
distribution of this. created wealth.
Even though the majority of them
are struggling for the bare necesSi-
ties of life, they refuse to look to
the advantages of cooperative or
conlmunistic system for their own
preservation. The best example of
the advantages of a cooperative or
communistic system can be seen by
looking at the financial statements
of the large trusts.
When the people advocate a CO.
operative system for their cain, it is
claSsed as communistic and un-
American. When big business does
it for the purpose of monopo1izing
and securing their profits, it is called
a merger and is claSsed as one of
the wonders of the twentieth
century.
How wonderful are the beliefs and
prejudices of the people when it
comes to using them for gain. Yes,
the average citizen will fight for
his rightS-what are his rights? The
right to starvation diet or bread
line. The conditions today have
gone farther ahead than the minds
of our politicians sometimes con-
fused with Statesmen).
When will the minds Of the peo-
pie go with younger generation,
which sees its right to earn living
denied? Isn't this a sudden change
from idealiSm to materialism?

The years have only added to your
fame,
o bard Of beauty, love and shatteren
hopes.
Neglected while you live, the world
has sung
Your worth in e'er increasing waves
Of praise
Until the blind souls Of today lie
prone
Before your feet and hope to see
one ray
From your bright robe Of pure
celestial light.
The beauty Of our ISRAELI; the
chimes
OF bells on winters nights; the hope
Of him
Whose love has died, her he would
see "Ne'ermore"
All sing within our hearts. More
praise to thee,
For in your eyes and from your
soul
We see the glory our poor eyes have
missed,
And gain a world from out your
burning mind.

THOUGHT--REAL THOUGHT
BEHIND THIS

By Herbert F. Mitchell.
In line with your current "Stal-
lngs Series, may suggest the fol-
lowing thought as regards veteran
organization parades?
Are we right in the display Of
pomp and circumstance surrounding
the "turnouts' Of our well respected
war veterans? The smart uniforms
the golden helmets-the enthral-
ling music-will these things not
tend to lead our younger generation
to the belief in the GLORY of WARP"
Would it not be more appro-
pirate if our veterans were to march
with their original tattered uni
forms, mud stained faces, broken
spirits, shell-shocked attitudes, sor-
row stricken souls, and thus i'm
press on our sons just a slight i'm
print of the real horrors of WARP"
I speak truly when say that
those who went and saw the IN
speakable, never to be : forgotten
horrors of the battlefield, do not
wish these things to be glorif1ed to
their sons.
My remarks are not meant as
criticism to the veteran organiza-
tons. Their efforts for recognition
are both necessary and commend
able. My thought is solely that we
who have seen should endeavor to
remove the thought Of "Militarisn
and Glory from the minds of our
parade loving boys.

unforeseen changes in their plans.
One of the girls, who made the trip

cause her cousin could not accompany
her, abandoned her plans to come back

A tropical hurricane, swirling to-

heavy rains and winds to the lower
Chesapeake Bay region today, but
will miss Washington and vicinity, the
Weather Bureau said.

any dangerous winds in this area

showers. Apparently the rain will not
approach yesterdays downfall of 3.2l

A bulletin issued this morning gave
warning to shipping along the At

and beyond.
65-Mile Wind Expected.
The bulletin said: THE tropical
disturbance is central about 65 east
southeast of Cape Henry, Va, and is
moving rapidly between north and
north-northeaSt, attended by gales
and winds of gale force near the CEN
ter. The storm will cause increasing
northeast or east winds, reaching
gale force on the North Atlantic and
Midatlantic coasts this afternoon
and tonight, diminishing tonight
south of Sandy Hook"
The Weather Bureau rates as a
whole gale" any wind attaining q
velocity of 65 miles an hour.
The forecaster emphasized that
residents of the District of Columbia
have no cause for alarm, but he said
those on the Eastern Shore and along
the coast may have heavy winds and
rains.
