Muncie, Indiana, Friday, January 17, 1929. Been Tried Before. A meeting was held one night this week in Muncie by those who are dissatisfied with the policies of the Post-Dem-ocrat and with the attitude of the city administration with the idea in view, it is said, of starting another democratic newspaper that will be more in harmony with the views of those democrats who voted with the Unity League. That’s been tried before unsuccessfully. Somewhat changing the regular formula, we will say, “Persistency, thou art a jewel.” We’ve heard the wind blow before. Let’s start the fireworks, by all means. Quite a Difference. \ The press thinks if this crusade against the gamblers is to go to its final conclusion, private homes must be raided to put a stop to the activities of card parties. If the time arrives that private homes are changed into gambling houses, organized for gai.i, or bootlegging establishments, they will be raided and prosecutions will follow. Until such time comes, the police force will recognize the sanctity of the home. . . •

Wanted, More Babies. A representative of the Washington agricultural department in a speech at Purdue University Tuesday declared the hope of agriculture and labor in general depends upon an educational program to increase the birth rate of the nation! There are millions of hungry children in the United States now, due to the unemployment situation in this era of republican prosperity that is now being harped upon by the big newspapers. It reminds the Post-Democrat of the story of the man who came home from work and told his wife that he had paid the doctor a certain amount on his indebtedness. “Thank God from whom all blessings flow,” was the fervent comment of the good wife. “Ten dollars more and the baby will be ours.” The general conspiracy of the big political grafters to hide the true situation reminds us of another. The young lady, operated on for appendicitis, coming out from under the influence of the anaesthetic looked up at the doctor and anxiously inquired, “will the scar show?” “Not if you’re careful,” was the reply.

Overlooked Five Thousand. The final check-up of the- city controller shows that there was $5,140 left in the general fund when the “business administration” finally signed off. Certainly it was unintentional on the part of the retiring statesmen. Something must have gone wrong with their figures, that such a stupendous blunder was made, for their purpose seemed to be to completely exhaust the public treasury. This does not mean, however, that this five thousand odd is net. Claims on hand, unpaid, when the new administration took hold, are sufficient to wipe out this balance, and new claims for services and merchandise are coming in daily at an alarming rate. It will take some “skimping” to keep the 7 wheels moving for a time without working a hardship on creditors, but eventually, even if not' now, the affairs of the city will be ^straightened out. Every department is functioning admirably and every employe is doing his part to create a successful administration of the affairs of the city. Street Commissioner “Bill” Daniels is receiving many complaints for the admirable manner in which he cleared the debris caused by the big sleet. He did it with a small force of men. When he gets his force properly organized it is believed that complaints regarding collections of garbage and ashes, which have been so prevalent for years, will be reduced to a minimum. Complaints from Whitely that the storm sewer being constructed there is lacking in sufficient fall to carry away the water, have been submitted to the engineering department. It is said that at the present stage of Wffiite River, the water would back up and fill the streets if the sewer is completed according to the plans and specifications of former Engineer White. Residents of that suburb insist that it was a sewer and not an irrigation project, that they had in mind when they made their petition.

KUKLUXKLANTO FIGURE IN TRIAL OF WJ. ARNOLD Failure of Former Depository of White Robed Secret Order To Be Discussed. Kokomo, Jan. 14.—^(U. P.)—The next chapter in the long drawn out battle to bring William H. Arnold to trial for alleged irregularities connected with the failure of the American Trust Company bank in this city will open in the Cass circuit court, probably during the spring term. Louis Middleton, clerk of the Howard circuit court, has prepared to transfer within the next few days all papers and documents in the six cases pending against Arnold to the Cass county tribunal. Arnold at present is in Florida, being released under $4,000 bond. His attorneys say he 'will return upon call to face charges and that he will clear himself of the stigma attached to h^ operations of the banking busincbs m this city. • No case in recent years has at-

tracted the wide attention that the American Trust cases have in this section of the state. The bank once a depository for state funds, and known to have been ^favored with the patronage of the Klu Klux Klan when Kokomo was one of the centers of that organization caused, upon its crash, the indictment of Luther F. Symonds and Thomas D. Barr, state bank examiners, and the testimony of D. C. Stevenson, ex-Dragon of Klan, before the grand jury. Due to the attention attacted by the long legal fight to return Arnold to Howard county from Florida for trial, his attorneys several weeks ago obtained a venue to Cass county. Prosecutor Clen Hillis will go to Logansport within the next few days to confer with Cass county officials regarding the/ Arnold cases, which it is hoped to have set for trial during the spring term of court. - ,o In Los Angeles, Cal., W. E. Proaudweine, knife in hand, set out after a large turkey. The bird, angered, kicked the knife into Proaudweine’s arm, severing an artery. Then it leaped upon the bleeding man, and viciously tore his shirt to tatters.

CONSTITUTION DECLARED TO BE LIVE ORGANISM

Speakers Before Bar Association, Says It Must Be Reckoned With.

Indianapolis, Jan. 17.—The national constitution, once regarded as entirely static, now is known to be a living organism, Representative James M. Beck of Philadelphia, Pa., former solicitor general of the United States, told the Indiana Bar Association last night. Speaking at the closing banquet of the one-day convention, Mr. Beck declared that the constitution contains both the seeds of growth and decay. His discussion ended an afternoon of argument for and against the need of a constitutional convention for Indiana. Albert Stump of Indianapolis, was the affirmative speaker in the debate, and suggested the manifold changes in the physical and economic makeup of the state as a basis for new constitutional requirements. James W. Noel of Indianapolis, defended the present constitution and made recommendations for several amendments to care for current needs. “The Indiana of today bears slight resemblance to the Indiana of 1851,” said Mr. Stump. “At that time the state .had no utilities at all except 2l2 miles of steam railroad, and now there scarcely is a home in the state hot served by some form of public utility. And these institutions are unrecognized entirely by the constitution.” All the laws passed by the General Assembly are technically unconstitutional, and there is no possible means to make them otherwise, Mr. Stump declared in showing that new bills never were read completely. “If they all were read three times in full, there would be no time for anything else in the session. The reading clerk would have to read consantly for the full time of the session.”

WEEP CROCODILE (Continued from Page One) amount to a confiscation of their business and have even enlisted the aid of the two eminently respectable daily newspapers in their effort to continue to violate the law under the administration of the man they soght to keep out of office because he had promised to enforce the law. And ’by the way these little games that are declared by Sutton to be of such a trivial character, involving such small sums of money are not so innocent after all. In fact the daily turnover in i»ctiial cash in the twenty or more cigar stores where games are played for checks is estimated to be about $1,500. It takes less than ten minutes, on an average, to play a game of “rum.” The loser pays the boss gambler twenty cents. The winner receives three five cent checks. In other words the cigar store takes a five cent rake off out of every

game.

These checks are redeemable in cigars, tobacco, cigarets, soft drinks etc. A profit is made on the merchandise given in exchange for bi’ass checks. This increases the rakeoff probably two cents more. But only a small percent of the checks are turned in for merchandise. The losers in a majority of Instances, pay their losses with

checks instead of money, the game keeper requires the loser to give him six checks. His own legal tender, already depreciated when fifteen cents worth of merchandise is given out for twenty cents, again suddenly shrinks fifty percent. At the close of the business, which starts about 9 o’clock in the morning and ends at midnight, the “house” has in its possession probably seventy five percent of the day’s business locked up in the safe. The other twenty-five percent Consists of the merchandise given in exchange for checks and such fchecks, as are still'in possession of the players, to be redeemed at such future time. The net profit of the day's business is easily seventy-five percent of the money actually paid out by the losers in these “innocent”
