YOUR FIGHT

THE driving Of unwholesome influences
- from criminal justice in Marion County
is the peoples fight. This newspaper has pro-
duced the facts, but only the citizens them
selves can apply the remedy.
They may act at the polls or through the
Legislature in the future and we believe that
they wiz Meanwhile they can apply the
steady pressure Of mass opinion upon their
elected officials to see that they scrupulously
meet the obligations of their jobs
In this they have right to look for lead
ership to the organized bar of Indianapolis.
If the people are to have confidence in the
legal profession as whole the Bar Association
must step out in front. Those involved in the
Criminal Court situation are practicing at
torneys.

since his early mistakes that he is making
every effort to become a useful member of
society. Peter A. Cancilla has not demon
strated that he has abandoned his vicious
ways. Since he left Buffalo he has acquired a
police record both in Detroit and indianapolis.
His unprovoked attack on Mr. Blish. to-
gether with a campaign of verbal and printed
SANDER and villification by his associates in
Criminal Court, have but one motive-to
silence The Times.
The people of Indiana will never approve
such base attempts to intimidate a free and
independent newspaper.
They are fully aware of the shocking
anomaly Of those associated with the adminis-
tration OF justice using the tactics of the
criminal element which they have sworn to
suppress.
No matter how efficient a police force a
community has. law enforcement fails unless
the courts are pure
indianapolis has been fortunate in that
it is practically free from gangsterism and
rac&eteering. 1t can not continue to enjoy this
safety unless the Criminal Court is above re-
proach. Decentralization of justice invariably
breeds crime as soon as the underworld senses
the situation.
That is why this is the peoples fight.

CONDEMNS RETURN OF
KHAN ACTIVITIES HERE
By Lawrence T. McShane

by LdWEGHce l. MCSudHe
The outcropping of anti-Semitic
sentiments ara activities among at
taches and others close to Criminal
Judge Baker and his court is easily
explained. IL has not been long
since Catholics, Jews, Negroes and
foreign-born were prescribed and
Disseminated against by the Ku-
Klux Khan. These bigoted and
hooded venoms achieved their first
organized political success in the
elections of 1922. They defeated
Pat Lynch. Newcastle, for re-elec-
ton as clerk of the Indiana ST.
preme and Appellate Courts because
he was Catholic.
They defeated former Mayor
Oliver of Franklin, who was can
didate for reelection as Auditor Of
Indiana and they also beat Leonard
Quill for clerk of the Marion Circuit
Court because he was a Catholic. Oh
liver was a Protestant who had refused
to join the Khan and Zach DUNCAN,
who defeated him, appointed Joel
A. Baker, alias u. A. B." as his
only deputy. j. A. BIS appointment
was controlled by the Khan and it is
evident that Khan sentiments and
methods still control him. Joel A.
Baker, being the power in front as
well as behind the throne in the
Criminal Court, his ideas prevail; so
that if anti-Semitism is to the FORE
front of activities around the Grim
inal Court, j. A. B. is responsible for
it. I am myself a non-Jew but one
of the prescribed during the Ku-
Klux Klan heyday and I desire to
protest most vigorously against the
revival of Klan activities.

Wastes and Costs

profit system We have every one
expanding energy not in produc-
ing more but in competing to OBJ
tain more of the supply which a
few actually produce.
With all the overhead which
has been added onto the cost of
production and distribution the
worker on the farm and in the
factory has done a very good job
in producing as much as ne has.
Of course, he did not receive most
of his produce The nonproduct-
i've groups such as bankers, law
yers, statesmen, advertising men
and others engaged in nonpro-
duction received the bulk of the
goods.
Does the poor man on the farm
and in the factory holler about
the waste and cost of this COM
petitive Setup? Oh, no, he hollers
about the smallest cost of all
the cost of government. Why
doesn't big business advertise its
waste and cost when it advertises
the cost Of government?

OUTLINES POLICIES OF
PAST IN G. o. P.
BY Reader

BY Reader
From reports it appears that the
Blue Grass" convention held at
Cleveland was a wonderful success
from the standpoint of arousing Re-
publican hopes. This, of course, is
only one of a series of grass meet
ings. There was the Grass Roots"
convention held at Springfield, Ill,
besides one or two others unde-
cided as to the type of grass they
represent and another one to be
held in the Rocky Mountain region
to be known as the Alfalfa Roots"
AS yet, there appears to be no
agreement as to the sort of grass to
be adopted upon which all elements
are to get together. Possibly the
big get-together will include all
grasses by meeting on the turf or
SWard.
An outstanding feature of these
meetings which is in marked con-
trast with the past is the barring
of any mention of candidates. The
policy as announced is to make up
the issues first without the men
ton of candidates. Heretofore,
and, with considerable success, the
policy of the Republicans has been
to select a candidate first, then the
issues. Thus they seem to be work
ing in reverse gear.
When all is considered, though,
this is in keeping with their gen.
eral policy (the only one thus far
agreed upon, viz, the country
should go back to where the Repub-
licanS gave it up; back to the good
old times; the horse and buggy days.
They can not be dubbed as incon-
sistent, for here we have con-
sistency in all its virtue. On the
other hand there may be streak

of returning to the glorious past
than by warming up to Herbert
Hoover. This, no doubt, will all De

wonders, too. which Middle Western
state was barred from the Cleveland
Blue Grass" convention because
they had a Senator candidate for
the presidency. One just naturally
thinks of Indiana and ex-senator

tirely wrong. However, we know Mr..
Robinson is candidate, for it leaked

perfect example of what constitutes
good government.
When a reporter for a newspaper
that is exposing evil conditions is
brutally attacked and beaten by one
Of the accused men, without high
public officials uttering a word of
condemnation, it seems that good
government is just a myth in
Marion County.
Do politics have to be dirty? Does
thuggery have to enter the picture
when truths start being printed? Do
all public officials have to stay mum
when a brutal thing like this
happens?
1 would think that the citizens of
Marion County would be so dis
turbed by this series of events that
a recall vote would be taken i'm
mediately. 1t is a disgrace to the
whole state of Indiana and 1, a CAL
low youth, so to speak, actually
think the blame rests not with these
officials, but with the citizens who
put them in their offices.
Thuggery is the first step towards
relationships and all of us in In
diana surely must deplore the
Louisiana example as set by Huey
Long. In Louisiana not only the
public service, but the judiciary as
well, are ruled completely by one
man and one clique.
This would seem to be the tendency
in Indiana if such a situation as
that which exists is allowed to go
on without a curb.
The Times is doing a wonderful
job and I think the editor and his
employees deserve a world of credit
for their courageous attitude.

In ITS a group OF states united
to establish strong government
for the purpose of providing for
the security and welfare Of their
citizens.
This act of cooperation Was
the first step, but the second step
was never taken. Regardless Of
the strength of any government
it can not provide for the security
and welfare of its citizens under
an economic system which does
not supply the necessities for a
more abundant life.
Our present Administration mas
assumed that we have an over

GET OUT AND STAY OUT"
is WRITER'S IDEA

BY a Professional Man
Your articles upon the adminis-
tration of criminal justice in this
county have interested me a great
deal and I was greatly shocked to
read of the unwarranted attack
upon your reporter. I am slightly
acquainted with Mr.. Blish and I
can not help but feel that you are
dealing with persons far worse than
gangsterS.
Mr.. Blish is certainly not the type
of individual who would infuriate
people and I rather think that the
attack was prompted by only one
thing-his employment by The
Times.
Gov. William Murray of Okla
homa, if my memory serves me, was
bitterly attacked a few years ago for
taking men whom the state Of Okla
homa had no wish to keep and
ordering them out of Oklahoma
within "a hours.
Every state, of course, is proud of
its reputation and its people. But
who could blame a judge if he were
to order some of these men to get
out of the state and stay out?
can not speak for any one but
myself. but I assure you that there
are scores of persons who think as
I do and wish you every success in
your undertaking. This type Of
thing must be brought to close
very soon.

Jobs FOR 100000

Production Has "DefiniteIy
ASCended," Chamber
Reports in Review.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
The United States Chamber of
Commerce said yesterday that a con-
tinuance of early March business
trends would mean unemployment of
100000 workers in manufacturing
industry between January and
March 81.
In its Washington review" the
chamber said March production was
definitely ascending" and that If
the trends of the first week persist,
the results from the month will
demonstrate continuation Of sub
month period.
Rising production has been ac-
companied by larger employment.
Data are lacking for estimates of
current employment in all industrial
production. but it is clear that in the
part represented by manufacturing
there will be an addition of about
100000 employees between January
and March 81, if the trends of early
March are not disturbed"
The chambers estimate that the
rise in industrial production which
became evident in December and
accelerated in January, and would
now seem to have continued in
February" was supported by the
survey of current business. published
monthly by the Department of
Commerce.
The survey did not discuss the
March situation, but did find that:
Industrial production expanded
during January by more than the
usual seasonal amount, the adjusted
index rising to 80 per cent of the
l923-25 average, the highest point
reached since August, 1888, when the
pre-code rush Of activity terminated
Available data for February Sug-
gest that the increase in industrial
output for that month approximated
the usual seasonal change. Produc-
ton in the first two months of the
year has been the highest for this
period since 1890"
