The influx always great along East Main street. because in that vicinity two grammar schools St. Marys and Croft and Crosby High School. The shining faces of the youngsters and their joyous shouts gave the lie direct to the belief that they hated to back to their books and daily routines The first day always enjoyable because you greeted the familiar friends whom perhaps you hadn't all summer long And then there was the explanation for the vacancy in the first row, little fellow who had been called to heavenly schoohouse dur ing vacation Oh, those the oden, golden days happy days of school time.

STAMP OUT THE DEFICIT

NOV that Congress is in a scramble over
ways to raise more money and cut down
the deficit, it isn't we'll to pass up this one.
1t seems that the Postoff1ce Department
sold, from March Is to June Is, around 81 $780,
600 worth of a special series of stamps.
Now these weren't ordinary stamps. They
weren't perforated, and they weren't gummed
They were never meant to go on letters, and
no postman was ever ia walk a mile account of
them.
They were sold to collectors, who put them
in albums. There is something in stamp collect
ors that makes them buy such stamps and
keep them. The rest of us will never know
what it is but it's there.
Now the profit to the government must
have been around S15OOOOO. That means that
this performance needs only to be repeated
about $4,000 times to pay off completely the
pubic debt.
Talk about living by taking in one another's
washing! All we need to do is become stamp
collectors and buy one another's stamps!

THE MAN ON THE BEAT

CHIEF NIKE MORRISSEY and other ex-
~ ecutiyes Of the police department are
apparently sincere in their efforts to make
indianapolis law-abiding city.
But the chief should recall the old phrase
that "a chain is as strong as its weakest link"
And the foundation Of the police depart
ment-any police departments the man on
the beat. When he begins to take his job for
granted, when he starts using his job as a
policeman to get his smokes and few glasses
Of beer. then the chain is beginning to slip
because the links are cracking.
Maybe the chief doesn't believe in that old
saying about the chain. He should. Or per-
haps he should visit few Of our best local
taverns and watch the. boys gratefully innbibe
a glass Of beer take package Of cigarets and
then leave-without paying.
Such is the strong arm Of the law.

WHERE THE DANGER LIES

nov. BIBB GRAVES of Alabama sees more
- danger in the suppression of free speech
and press than in the railing of a red soap
boxer or pamphleteer. Therefore, when the
Legislature sent him the "anti-sedition bill'
it had passed over protests from labor and
liberal newspapers, he vetoed it.
The American Legion of Alabama, which
sponsored the measure to suppress seditious
speech and writing, should read the words of
E. A Hayes. former national commander of
the Legion, on this subject.
1T is neither desirable nor necessary" he
said, that any portion of our properly treas
ured freedom Of speech should be destroyed
in order to allay the ravages of the disease
Of Communism or any other ism. The soap
box orator should be given full sway regard
less of the length of his hair or the ahsurdity
of his rantings. 1t is not so much the insur-
rection Of the ignorant we need fear in this
country, it is the laziness of the intelligent"
