HUEY LONG is DANGEROUS
AND SHOULD BE MUZZLED

BY NJ. II. R., Anderson,
The recent diatribe in which
Huey Long branded President RooSe-
velt "liar and a faker" should
arouse the good citizens of this ma
ton to the realization of what ex-
tremes can happen when an in
dividual is allowed too great a free
dom of tongue. When Long can
say, and get away with it, always,
the things he has, then it is time
past time, in fact-something should
be done. 1t is certainly SANDER.
And quite possibly it is sedition.
There are definite laws governing
both.
The Louisiana Senator, however,
unfortunately, seems to be outside
all laws. The enforcers of laws, for
some inexplicable reason shun him,
ignore his every transgression; they
even joke about his actions when
they are too brazenly obvious to be
overlooked, passing them off as the
pranl1S of buffoon.
The situation would not be so
deplorable if Long vented his spleen
only in his native state. But no!
He must scatter his abuses every
where he goes, and, like most dev-
aStating parasites, he seems to be
ubiquitous.
With his slanderous and seditious
tongue Huey Long has abused the
privilege of free speech. Inevitably
he will be silenced. But sometimes
inevitability takes long time. 1t
is eXigent that Huey Long be stopped
now. He is not a buffoon. He is
vicious and dangerous-more so than
any of the CANNES we muzzle for
our own protection. For our own
protection, he should be muzzled-
and soon!
Lastly, it should be remembered
that between criticism and SANDER
there is disparity which no sena-
torial privilege can span.

SUGGESTS HEDGES BE
TRIMMED FOR SAFETY
BY NJ. G. F.

BY NJ. G. F.
Why doesn't the city get busy and
crack down on home owners who re-
fuse to trim hedges on lawns at
street intersections? There are in
Vulnerable crossings throughout IN
dianapolis where where it is i'm
possible for automobile drivers to
Aget a clear view without driving
halfway across the street before
they can see if traffic is approach
ing.
City officials issued orders for
owners of vacant lots to cut down
weeds in order to lessen danger Of
spreading hay fever pollen. Why
can they not also compel little
hedge trimming? Hay fever causes
all manner of discomfortS and an
noyances to those afflicted, but pre-
vention of a sickness is no more
important than prevention of acct
dents which often cause death.

Congratulations for your stand on
Louis Ludlow. I have never been
able to see what indianapolis saw
in Mr.. Ludlow. My friends have
told me that Mr.. Ludlow is the best
ambassador this county ever had
in Congress and that letter about
anything under the sun always drew
personal response from him. They
say that he is interested in serving
the people all the time.
If this is so, why did he vote
against the holding company bill?
We have been gouged for years by
the power companies and it is about
time we got some sense and passed
some laws to do away with these big

TRAFFIC COPS RAPED
FOR POOR MANNERS
By Northsider

BY Northsider
This being the tourist season, it
might be good idea for Chief Mike
Morrissey, or whoever is giving
orders during Mixes Eastern visit,
to brush up the traffic officers a
little on their manners.
It's an all-too-common occurrence
to see some copper" generally the
horid-faced, overweight variety,
exercising his authority by bawling
out some out-state driver for a
minor traffic violation. Courtesy
undoubtedly would bring results
just as quickly, and leave much
better impression with our visitors
Not all the loud talk and wild
gesticulating is spawned on the
visitors. There's one arrogant Of
ficer on a near downtown corner
who has the very cute CD habit OF
calling all drivers who don't move

The government is doing a Won
derful thing in IVA and the quicker
we have a similar thing in Indiana
the better we will be. That Hunt
ington case is a proper example of
how the utility companies work
Huntington wants to provide its
own service at a cheaper rate and
the utility company is making every
effort it can to prevent the people
from getting lower rates.
If Mr.. Ludlow would listen to the
people back home on matters like
this he would be doing us more Of
a service.

Of war, has been ratified by the United States
Senate. Its sponsors hope to broaden its scope
until all nations have agreed to abide by its
terms.
In this way it is hoped to make forever
impossible the repetition of such tragedies
as the bombing of the cathedral at Rheims or
the Cloth Hall at Ypres during the World War.
The idea is an excellent one as far as it
goes, and yet it must strike any thoughtful
person as being just little bit like apply

in fact a confession of human helplesSness.

HE'S OF THE OPINION
1T ISN'T WORTH 1T

BY a Working Man.
The Times has figured out that
Judge Baker gets $15.36 an hour for
every hour he works. I work for so
cents an hour and get good pay. I
am honest, don't cuss every time
I turn around and I can't afford to
play golf
But pay my poll tax and I guess
I am one of the people who helps
pay the judge his $15.36 an hour.
I'll say it for you, Mr.. Editor.
1t isn't worth it.

BY LESLIE EICHEL

New York. Nov. 20.-Many writers
are exclaiming that the British gain
ed a victory over Japan in China
when China abandoned the silver
standard and went on a managed cur
rency that ties in with the British
governed currency Of Shanghai The
Shanghai currency, in turn, is tied to
the British pound.
But the victory" is over the United
States, too. And it is all blamed on the
United States.
Not only does a great Chinese mar
ket seem lost, but the Chinese nation
itself has been impoverished by the
American silver purchasing policy, ac-
cOrding to critics.
THE WHYFORE
When the United States govern
ment went into silver purchasing
one of the schemes to raise prices
the price of the metal became so high
trat it began flowing out of China.
Thus. China's currency was debased
capital fled abroad and bankruptcies
overwhelmed the country.
Much of the silver fled to Japan
And Japan rapidly was approaching
