Of Course Well Win
Under the heading “A Free Lance Wielder,” the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette Wednesday made the following editorial comment on the candidacy of the publisher of the Post-Democrat: George Dale, of Muncie, was a visitor in Fort Wayne a day or two ago. Mr. Dale is editor of the Muncie Post-Democrat and is the Democratic candidate for mayor in that city. He laughingly said that he had developed a candidate’s complex and could see nothing but victory, although Muncie is normally Republican by a good majority. Dale is making a warm fight and declared that he really did expect to win. He counts on a lot of independent voting to put him over. The editor of the Post-Democrat cut out a big job for himself when he set out to be elected mayor of Muncie, but he is used to tackling hard jobs. He is a born fighjer. There is a difference of opinion in Muncie as to whether many of his battles have been worth while. Some see him as a crusader for clean politics. Others regard him merely as a professional hell-raiser. Whatever may he true as to that, he has fought some good fights at close quarters for the freedom of the press in recent years. His paper is small, but he has made it known throughout the nation. In a time when few men are speaking out in meeting, Dale is unique. When all is said and done, there is one thing which every editor can learn from Dale and that is courage.

Highjinks At the Fair. Under the head of unfinished business it might not be amiss to make a few belated observations concerning the riot of lawlessness that made itself manifest at the county
fair.
Liquor was sold openly on the grounds, a bunch of sure fire gamblers were permitted for two days to work the “double-up” racket on fair visitors and if Prosecutor Davis had not closed them up they would not have been molested at all by the members of the city police force who patrolled the grounds. One man, Isaac Reading, a factory employe, was “rolled” for $56 by a pair of crooks at the fair grounds. Reading secured an officer and pointing out the robbers, caused their arrest. At police headquarters the next morning the two thieves, who were accompanied by a local lawyer, were turned loose after they had returned to Reading twenty-five dollars of the money they had stolen front .him. The crooks told him it was that or nothing. The balance of the stolen money, $31, was to be used, they said, to pay the lawyer. Reading took the $25, signed an agreement not to prosecute, and hurried away from the city hall, fearing no doubt that somebody might hit him in the. head and take the twenty-five away from him unless he made a quick getaway. Many queer things have happened around the city hall, but this seems to be the first case on .record where any man was ever firted thirty-one dollars for being robbed. . If the fair is to continue here it will have to be' made pretty plain that visitors will not be robbed by “concession” crooks who pay the fair board for the privilege of swindling the customers.
(Continued from Page One) cause the law assumes that after a man pledges God to tell the truth he is more likely to relate the facts correctly. So it is the theory of this nation, and the theory of every state in this union that an oath of office tends to inspire patriotic endeavor in the performance of public duties. Men with conscience will not lightly try, to deceive God. The question may arise, why has the state so long neglected to require an oaiu from school teachers? Well, the reason is clear enough. When our state was organized we had no public school system worthy of the name. Teachers were usually paid majorly by subscriptions or by donations from the patrons. Part of their compensation_ was_ received_ by" “boarding around” among the families in the district. Little or no standard of excellence was fixed to determine their efficiency. .They had no standing in society such as public officials. And this is emphatically true, notwithstanding the splendid contribution they made to the young communities. So, when our system of state government was formed no one thought of placing the teacher on the high plane of the public of-
ficial.
All that has now changed. The dim public appreciation of the service rendered to the state by the early school teachers has been clearified—it has brightened up. We now place a more accurate appraisement on the work of the pioneer instructor. As time has passed the estimated current value of his service has enhanced until we are willing now to spend unlimited funds for the support of our public, school system, and trust the future of the nation to its gaurdianship. It is no discredit to the teaching profession as a whole to sky that our public schools are menaced with many perils. No other branch of the public service depends so much upon the keen, discriminating, delicate conscience of the official. No other official holds so strategic a position. It is not necessary _ that he be intentionally bad in order that evil consequences may flow from his conduct. Carelessness or indifference may suffice to allow treasonable and distructive influences to : replace a wholesome ahd patiiotic morale in the school. For several hours each day our children are separated from the home and placed under the guardianship of the teacher. Naturally the parent will be better satisfied to have the conscience of the teacher quickened and inspired by his promise to God faithfully to discharge his obligation to the pupils. < .» Di^oipulus.

In Again, Out Again.
Muncie’s daily newspapers have been raising a hallabaloo over the escape of two women from the county jail. They miss the point, completely. Escaping from the county jail has got to be so commonplace that when a prisoner gets tired and goes away from there it has positively ceased to be news. It would be a real news item, for instance, if Big Hoss Edwards should happen to break into jail.
Playing a Sure Thing.
A member of the paving trust laughingly said one day this week that Clarence Priest will make as good a treasurer of the democratic city central committee as anybody else, “for the democrats hain’t going to get no money anyway.” Which is perfectly true as far as any possibility exists of any contributions being made to the democratic war chest by ■ f the street contractors’ combine. The eminent gentlemen of L the paving trust will put their dough down on the sure thing * that has already harvested them and their confederates
enough money to stop a tunnel.
Not a Bad Idea.
Speaking of campaign funds it is a common saying here that the Unity League will spend a huge sum trying to buy the election in November. Gamblers and bootleggers and big interests expecting special privileges are expected to fill the campaign kettle to overflowing. One man Thursday suggested a slogan which sounds reasonable “TAKE THEIR MONEY AND VOTE FOR DALE.”
How Does It Happen?
Among the names drawn Monday for grand jury service for the September term of court appear those of Lester Janney, a member of the board of works and Ernest Curtis, a member of the paving firm of Curtis & Gubbins. The Post-Democrat likes them both personally. In fact it has no personal quarrel with any member of the board of works or with the street paving group, but it does seem queer that every grand jury seems to be incomplete unless one or more of the group is not invited to sit in judgment on the sins of the community, when one of our greatest sins is the board of works frame-up which prevents free and open bidding on
public work.
Getting Religion?
A contract for the construction of two blocks of curb and gutter on Burlington drive was let to the Gubbins paving concern Tuesday at 84 cents per lineal foot, which is about sixteen cents under the regular trust price. Is it possible that the paving trust is getting religion as the day of
judgment approaches?
Refuse to Go, That’s It
Well, w r e hardly know what to advise, but considering the way that Big Horse Edwards has been given his freedom after being committed to !ho penal farm by Judgie Guthrie,' we suggest- that hereafter v^Try man committed to the penal farm simply refuse to go. It 'bp law is a joke
why not make it a good one? '
INDIANA COAL (By Arthur H. Pierson, President Workers’ Educational League) Recent news dispatches reveal an interest of Governor Harry Leslie in Indiana industry. His formation of a coal commission and the work they are doing are unmistakable signs that a sincere effort will be made to stabilize /“prosperity” in our Hoosier state. The fact that coal, under our present industrial life is a basic industry, is significant in the approach to the problem of employment and prosperity. Senator Huett of Vigo county, who heads the coal commission is traveling Over the state and making friends for Indiana industry. He tells of the boycott established by the state of Illinois against Indiana products manufactured by the use of Indiaana coal. He hastens to add that Indiana is not contemplating a boycott on anyone hut is engaged in a campaign of education to the really good things we have at home. During the war, under conditions over which the coal industry had no control, certain impressions became apparent that still seem to exist today. At that time the government saw fit to confiscate all of the good coal of Indiana for use in productite war work. All of the cast off dirt, snow and water that was in the vicinity of the mines was sold to Hoosiers for coal for want of something better. At that time we were glad to get a small amount of slack and pay full price for it. However war practices are not always good peace practices and for once the home folks refused to forget about the slack and dirt of that period. Since then we have been going to other states for coal that is inferior to our Indiana pro-
duct.
The state government is concerned about the use of Indiana coal, realizing that as the cowl, industry prospers so prospers many and various industries of our commonwealth. ' * . (T Another vicious practice that has injured the industry in Indiana has been the substitution of inferior grades for superior grades specified in bidding on contracts for public use. In their eagerness to receive contracts some dealers have been dishonest with themselves and the industry. A recent certified annalysis submitted to several local dealers was reported to be the best analysis of any coal to come into Muncie. That certainly should put the lie to the statement that Indiana coal is inferior. Indiana has in excess of $35,000,000 invested In-the Coal mining industry and many thousands of men are dependent on the industry for a livelihood. The fact that this $35,000,000 property is standing idle and that thousands are in dire want is not a healthy condition for the state. In this seeming period of prosperity there is more unemployment in Indiana than ever before, because the people of Indiana have West Virginia and iw..tern Kentucky psychology regarding r-’cl. The coal commissioner of E -* state of Indiana is authority for the»
economy is expensive to the community whether it is in buying coal
or any other commodity.
One unit of our city is reported to have bought 1,000 tons of slate slack and dirt because it was cheaper than coal. The only purpose it will serve is to again give legitimate industry in the state a
black eye.
Every civic organization in Muncie should busy itself with this problem of Indiana coal. Committees should be appointed to investigate the problem and create a sentiment that will make for prosperity in a basic industry of the
state.
DEMOCRATS ELECT
(Continued from Page Ohe) which would meet with the approbation of the majority of the democrats of Muncie. His daughter, Mi's. Margaret Harrison, was named as secretary of 'the committee by Sims, who is so close to City Judge Redkey, the opponent of Mknn, that the latter cannot help but know that Sims favors the candidacy of Redkey. The Sudden Change Frank Mann’s change of heart came about just about the time Sims appointed his daughter seccretary of the committee, an appointment that was coincident with her selection as an employee under Probation Officer John Dragoo, a republican and a member of theh Unity League. The job held by Mrs. Harrison, who is a close friend- of the Benadum family, is the same one that was created by fontner Judge Dearth for his wife. To those democrats who witnessfed Frank Maun s uncalled for frenzy at the Fl'iuay night meeting the thought was uppermost that tihe in the probation office was bird .in hand that was worth more than an uncertain judicial bird in the bush, and now that Mann’s daughter has got her court house job, democrats here fail to understand why Mann’s doesn’t withdraw from the -ticket and permit some one to he placed the'eon who will give Redkey real opposi-
tion.
Mamn held one political job here oncej He was prpsecuting att^rn^y m 1914 when nrfiny of the city ahli county administration were indicted on charges of grafting, included among those indicted being Mann’s deputy and Wilbur Sims, then secretary of Doc Bunch’s police department. Since that time he has run for office repeatedly but the people would have none of him. Mann has never been a friend of the Post-Democrat and has never shown any sympathy for the fight it has made for clean government and honesty in politics. He has never supported it in any way. If anyone but' Court Asher had opposed him in the spring primary he would have been defeated. He should get out and let Ward Marshall or some other loyal democrat make the race. Asks No Odds or Quarter The editor of the Post-Democrat is asking no odds nor no quarts 1 ' in this political race. He had no quarrel whatever with Frank Mann, yet the latter deliberately bolted a meeting of democrats after applying unmannerly epithets to the democratic candidate for mayor, with the deliberate purpose in view of promoting discord. The pitiful handful! of so called democrats who are desperately attempting to wreck the candidacy of the democratic nominee for mayor have no following a t all. They used every trick they knew in the primary campaign to defeat him and were overwhelmed. Unable to defeat him in the primary they have carried their enmity into the final lap of the mayoralty race. If they enjoy the company of Billy Williams, George Cromer and Nina Sample, let ’em go to it, and see how far they get. There are in Muncie one hundred decent republicans for every disloyal democrat who will forget politics long enough on the fifth day of November to cast a vote for a candidate who promises to put this bi-partisan bunch of, gangsters out of the political running once and for all.

BRITISH STORM ARAB VILLAGE: 100 CAPTURED
Number of Killed, Wounded Unknown; Arms, Ammunition Confiscated.
Jerusalem, Aug. 30. — British troops, supported by armored motorcars, Palestine police and airplanes, stormed another Arab vil.age outside Jerusaleum Thursday In addition to inflicting an unknown number of casualties, they captured between eighty and one hundred prisoners and confiscated large quantities of arms and ammunition. The attack took place shortly after 4 o’clock in the morning, which in Palestine summers is just before dawn. The objective was the village of Colonia, an Arab settlement of 2,000 inhabitants, which stands on a high bluff, dominating the tiny Jewish village of Motza. Arabs Snipe From Houses For three days, Arab, sharpshooters have been sniping from thfe houses there, terrifying the country side around them, while at night they have been carrying raids into the Jewish colony, burning and looting houses. Jerusalem has taken on a brighter aspect. Shopkeepers and bankers began to resume business, although Palestine police have been posted on all principal street corn ers and other searching for arms. The latest proclamation to be distributed and posted in the streets in Arabic is addressed “Our own Arab brethren, in the name of our almighty God,” and is signed by the grand mufti and other Arab notables in Jerusalem. Arabs Urged Against Bloodshed It was obviously issued at the instance of the acting high commissioner and implores the Arab population to refrain from bloodshed or otherwise disturbing the peace. The order by the general commanding the troops that all Jewish special policemen should be disbanded and disarmed gave rise to a violent protest by Zionist executives, first to Gen. Doble, then to the acting high commissioner, both of whom, nevertheless, insisted the order must be obeyed. The Zionists have telegraphed "heir headquarters at London, urging representations be made to the British government that “this new order distinguishes British Jews f rom British non-Jews, which is a dahgerous innovation for any ministry of his Majesty.” ZEP COMMANDER FLIES TO CAPITAL TO THANK NATION President Hoover Calls Ability, Skill and Courage Basis of Success.

FILLS ORDER FOR FAT MAN
Washington, Aug. 30.—Tired and sorely in need of rest, Dr. Hugo Eckener, master of the globe-cir-cling Graf Zeppelin, came to Wash ington Thursday to express personally to President Hoover and high government officials his gratitude for this country’s assistance in the historic achievement. With an air of deepest feeling the German air navigator told the President the flight “could not have been achieved without the generous assistance which came from the
United States.”
From President Hoover and other officials, as well as the throngs, Which crowded the streets and de-i partment corridors, Dr. Eckener received tributes of high admira-
tion for the feat.
Spirit of Adventure Lives. In congratulating the Graf’s conimander, President Hoover said thfe noteworthy attainment showed the spirit of high adventure still lives,” aud its “success has been due to the eminent scientific and engineering abilities of the German people, translated by your
own skill and courage.”
‘You have lifted the spirits df men with renewed confidence in
human progress,” he said.
Replying to the President’s tribute, Dr. Eckener said: “Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for the gracious address you have been pleased to extend to me. You have been kind enough to appreciate what the ship, captain and crew have achieved and we are proud
of such appreciation.
Thanks U. S. for Assistance. “I wish to say, however, that the achievement could not have been attained without the generous assistance which came from the United States. I wish to avail myself of this occasion to express my ap-
preciation.”

“I am the governor Of Indiana,” the chief executive was said to have tried to explain to the hardboiled inspector. “I don’t care if you’re the president Of the United States,” the inspector was said to havte answer, “you can’t take that corn out of the quarantined area.” The governor, according to reports, tried to explain further, but the inspector told him to “move on, you’re holding up traffic!” So the governor moved on without his corn. 0 ; Fewer Employes For Fire Marshal Indianapolis, Aug. 30.—Resignation of Miss Emma Jaqua, of Swayzee, as assistant educational director in the state fire marshal’s Office, was announced Thursday, by Alfred O.
