Charley Stake
The death of Charles Stake, for many years in the electrical supply business in Muncie, means the departure of one of our very best citizens and the Southside has lost ope ?vho has always stood foursquare for everything that was
honorable and decent in city government.
Like many others during the past five years of business The schools of Muncie have been the football of the . . collapse, Mr. Stake lost in commercial combat, but he leaves meanest kind of politics for many years and will continue anyhow^ f, ° m piopQS1 lomns >ou ’

And lucking the billion or more to enforce my position as a real politician, l am going to retire one of these days and apply for membership in some old ladies’ sewing

behind him more than millions—aif honored name, and the love and respect of those who knew him intimately. Mr. Stake was explosive in his denunciation of deceit and rotten politics and never feared to say exactly what was
on his mind.
This attribute never made him popular with interests that prey upon the public, and possibly contributed to his business lasses, but his honest impulses in behalf of decency and honesty constitute a shaft of marble in his memory to
which we should all do reverence.

Who’s Idea, B’Gosh? The latest FERA project contemplates the installation of a hobo camp along the river north of the Ball road. The plan is somewhat visionary apd the rather sketchy stories of the plans, published in local dailies, fail to tell us /what it is all about. According to the Star this morning homeless men, both local 4Dd transient, to the number of approximately two hundred will occupy the camp and ten acres of garden will be cultivated to supply them with fresh vegetables. We have observeef that fresh vegetables are easily raised on paper, but just try it in real dirt. All you have to do is to spend the summer fighting fhe drouth and all kinds of bugs 1 . 1 ' Ask any farmer how it is« :; v* “It is lioped by winter,” the Star sa’ys, M to have permanent buildings Constructed of lumber obtained, by demolition of old buildings in Muncie. A recreation hall* mess hall, shower and launclyy building will be constructed ;itpmediately as permanent" structures.” , ( Continuing, the'Star says: “A baseball diamond, horseshoe and handball courts, swimming-pool, .infirmary ah^.administration building are ’contemplated and will be built by the men occupying the shelter during the summer.” On paper, this all sounds fipe, but it is utterly impractical since it is predicated on the thebry thati homeless and j hopeless men are to establish a community of their own and conduct its affairs on a business-like basis, after constructing their homes out of rotten lumber from torn down dwell-
ings.
Those Menus for the Poor Teachers at Columbiii University have worked out another of those family budgets, whereby the poor are told how easy it is to live oju an unbelievably small sum. According to this version, $9.45 a ■yveek will feed a family cif five. Four tablespoonfuls of cod liver oil are allowed for; but the only meat mentioned is liver; and two eggs a day are supposed to be enough for father, mother and three growing youngstexs. People can live on such an outay. They can even—with good luck •md a strong digestion—remain healthy. Millions live pn less. But if such a standard of living were generally adopted—what would it do to the 'recovery program, and to American industry, commerce and agriculture? It would produce a crash compared to which the years of depression we have endured would seem merely the beginning of trouble. It would leave at least a third of our farm produle to rot, close a third of our mills and factories, make the railroads not worth maintaining, and throw millions more out of work. As an aid to economic recovery, it would be somethihg less than bubonic plague, and something more than smallpox.

No reason is assigned, and Mr. Martin states that he has
received no notification of the change. Re says he does no^
believe that such a thing could happen to him. What secret agency has decided to play checkers with the school faculty. An anonymous writer, addressing the Post-Democrat, declares that “the same fans and politicians who caused your defeat” are causing the shake-up in the schools.

A theoretical wind bag that needs puncturing is the hoary joke that our schools are “out of politics” and that the purity of our Muncie school system must be preserved, even if we have to poison the nasty politicians who have thus far been kept at bay. 1 * I have been a resident of Muncie eighteen years and mayor of the city for over four years, and I know a little about politics. Not much, I will admit, for- during my many years in public life, I have never mastered the art of double-
crossing those who trusted me.
And that, all will agree, is the very essence of life of the true politician. The one who gains your confidence, cuts
your throat and makes you like it is the politician supreme. Milking about, anyhow?’ j mot NHJCh of a smqk£.
There are three members of the school board, each elected by the council for a three-year term. These elections take place each year at the June meeting of the council. The term of one member of the board of education expires each year and each time, during my eighteen years of observation, politics of the nastiest kind is employed in securing the votes of a sufficient number of councilman when
the selection is made.
ft is not sufficient that the “right” man is selected, but he must also be amendable to control by the “right” influences, otherwise he is not considered, no matter what his qualifications might be for the responsible office he seeks,
or others seek for him.
With these things in mind, nothnig can be more absurd than the reiterated statement that “our schools have been
kept out of politics.”
Politics of the rankest description has been the rule in election of members of the school board, so it is not likely
