Ministers and Digest Poll The Star Thursday morning carried an Associated Press dispatch to the effect that near seventy-five per cent of the clergy of Indiana opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal. The Post-Democrat had but one opportunity of discussing the matter with a Muncie minister, Rev. E. F. Daughterly of the Jackson street Christian church. “It’s strange,” he remarked, “in the light of my personal contacts with ministers it has developed that at least seven out of every ten have praised the New Deal as being in harmony with Christian ideals. “Somehow it has me guessing, The Literary Digest polls in the past have been almost uncanny :n their accuracy, therefore I am at sea. I am classified as a Republican but that doesn’t mean that I swallow everything that politicians of my party ordain. “For instance,” he remarked, with twinkling eye, “as a Republican, I am not going to throw up my hat and cheer because A1 Smith has been chosen by Tammany to lead the New York delegation.” “Tammany is a corrupt organization, greedy at heart and the clergy of America is hardly going to line up with that glamorous outfit that is willing to trade off anybody and anything in America to keep its clutches on New York city.” “Remember now, I’m not a politician and am not seeking any controversy, but as far as I am concerned A1 can take his threatened “walk,” but I object to a Tammany goosestep with preachers stepping to the music.” Thus spoke a leading minister of Muncie and we have no doubt that a vast majority of the clergy here feel just about the same as Dr. Daugherty, regardless of a poll. Possibly the Literary Digest has gone haywire, for this is the silly season.
Make Your Own Bet Announcement was made during the'past week of post office applicants who seek the job now held by Ira Wilson as postmaster of Muncie. The four year term of the present Republican postmaster expires in April and a long list of Democratic aspirants have placed their names before the Civil Service Commission in the hope of receiving endorsement by Congressman Finly H. Gray, of Connersville. Those seeking the stamp selling job in Muncie arc Ward Marshall, local attorney, Webb Hunt, principal of: the Lincoln school, Lewis (Bob) Acker, former county commissioner, Ernest H. Brewington, members of the' former contracting “trust” in Muncie known so well during the Hampton administration, Mrs. Mabel Young, present vice-chairman of the Democratic organization. Wj C. Connelly, Albert Rees, former city detective, W. J. Guffigan, former city fireman, T. F. Toombs, O. C Paul, barber, and James Osenbaugh, present county commissioner and former trustee of Union township. It had been heretofore mentioned that the appointment was' “in the bag” for “Bob” Acker, who resides in the country but now receives his mail through the Muncie postoffice due to the extension of the service to include his rural route several months ago. The change was made similar to that of qualifying Billy Williams for postmaster prior to the present term when his residence in Selma was absorbed by the Muncie district. Apparently, it is the opinion of many Democrats that Acker does not have the job “sewed-up.” Ward Marshall, former county chairman and defeated candidate for judge of the circuit court in 1934, is known to have secured long hsts of signatures bearing local approval of his candidacy but the boys say that Ward is always running for something or other. The local M r ?c an Mfhi« n v heade< ? b *L Cha i rma ^ Earl Tuh(i y is placing their bets on frs. Mable ^ oung in the event that a temporary postmaster is named. I The Editor’s Comer ]
Mie yeflov^ sheet came forth from its lair again last Saturday and was mysteriously circulated in Muncie. It signs itself “The People’s Friend, and promises further revelations oi a startling character concerning alleged didoes in Muncie. g* The authorship, insofar as the general public is concerned, is still a deep, dark secret, but one would take it, reading the lines themselves, and between the lines, that the author is bearing down hard on the mayor, the prosecutor, the board of safety and the police force. The yellow sheet proclaims that the grand jury fottfid evidence sufficient to indict alleged gamblers whose names were “published” in former anonymous handbills, but found no fault with the officials in whose domain the alleged violations of the law were perpetrated. That’s the headache of being a member of a grand jury. I never saw a grand jury that emerged from its seciet, inquisitorial probe with a record of indicting everybody who should be indicted. On several occasions grand juries have indicted me on frivolous charges, when I personally knew of twenty or thirty birds around here who ought to have been, in jail themselves, but instead were active in framing the “evidence” that was used on me. “ Once I got so mad about it that the Post-Democrat bawled out the grand jury, the judge and everybody connected with the court, and that unfortunate editorial kept me fighting contempt and libel charges for over five years. And at that I was right, but the judge always has the last say, so •what ^ All that I have to say is that it takes mighty enthusiasm for anyone to take time out and keep boiling when it is ten degrees below zero. An old time ex-gambler epitomized what he believed to be the situation here by remarking Wednesday, “They’re trying to put it on Higi, and he’s merely an innocent bystander.” Now what did he mean by that? x x x x x The great warlike engagements have token place within the past •week, the battle of Capitol Hill between Father Coughlin and Congressman O’Conner and the battle of the field house between a basketball umpire on one side and a policeman and two councilmen on the other. The “radio priest” took a verbal sock at the O’Conner, and the latter invited the cleric to meet him on the Capitol steps promising he wTmld kick him all the w T ay to the White House. The priest said he would be there next Wednesday for his kicking and the congressman responded that he would be there with the boots. Later the threatened kicking match was called off. The Irish Catholics are a fighting lot, bred to the best Uaditions Donnybrook Fair, where the rule was, “whenever you see a head, hit it.” The threatened conflict between these two worthy Irishmen was called off just as I w>as about to wire Father Coughlin to go to Washington with a good old geography in the seat of his pants, as we did in our happy school days when the teacher had blood in his eye. And aboat the battle of the field house—there was something to get us all excited and hot and bothered. Councilman Hole’s son was ruled off the floor by the referee. The coucilman went backstage and took a few punches at the referee and Councilman Shroyer bobbed up and offered to take a poke at the umpire. Policeman Femeyer is charged with giving the referee the bum’s rush. Heavy editorials then appeared in Muncie daily newspapers. Somebody had to be punished. The “Bearcat Spirit” must come frist. A croquet tournament between Frankfort and Muncie is more important than the impending world war or the election of public officials in Muncie and Delaware county. With the mighty pep displayed by those who sweat and fight over such a trivial incident, real things could be accomplished. Incidentally people go to basketball games, prize fights and wrestling matches, and yell the loudest and have the most fun when somebody gets the manhandling of his life. It isn’t often that a Muncie audience is entertained by a four-way battle, staged by real, live councilmen, policemen and umpires. From now on the crowds should grow. And shame on you, Mr. Vandevir. An umpire, a referee and the deciding voice in basketball! When you took on all that responsibility you ought to be able to lick at least two councilmen and one policeman and holler for more worlds to conquer.

However, the condemnation proceedings of the board of public works in an announcement to the public that official action is to be taken to satisfy their proposals whether it is liked or not. It -may be overlooked that merchants of the city will lose considerable transient trade by the re-routing program since traffic will be escorted around instead of through the business district. Any objections on these causes seem to lack mentioning since the entire project bears the approval of the Muncie chamber of commerce,
Senate Votes Penalties for Bosses Who Invade Rights of Workers
Without a dissenting vote, the Senate adopted a bill sponsored by Senator Frederick VanNuys (Dem. Ind.) to curb employers who may be tempted to coerce their employes into voting against their wishes. Fines up to $5,000 and imprisonment are the penalties for violations. The measure now goes to
the House.
“I have been in politics 35 years,” Senator Van Nuys told Labor, “and I have seen great placards and banners in factories and shops with the warning that if candidates not favored by the employers were elected the plants would close in 10 days. Sometimes the coercoin was varied with a threat to move to another town.
“Workers have complained to me that paymasters have told ihem to take off election buttons or get out of the factory and stay out. Such practices have been flagrant and general, and my bill is intended to give employes perfect liberty to vote as they please—to protect their rights as American people.” Senator Joseph F. Cuffey (Dem. Pa.) declared the bill w r as badly needed in Pennsylvania, where employers have been particularly high handed in invading the rights of workers. “It will be just the weapon needed if our workers are again terrorized by employers,” Guffey said.
PROPOSE (Continued From Page One). board reduced the request nearly
$16,000.
Nearly $70,000 in current obligations remained unpaid at the close of 1935, the bonded indebtedness of the city is steadily being increased, the expenditures of the civil city for 1936 are rapidly exceeding the budget appropriations, and yet, the city hall “brain trust” is asking for the privilege to spend $5,000 more of the taxpayers money to privately insure the administration employees. If the state tax board will permit this expenditure by the city, then it is likely to expect that the administration would request that their grocery bills, rents, taxes if any, payments on new auomobiles, and general living expenses be paid from the city treasury. o FAR FROM FLATTERING
