Sam Beecher

Sam Beecher, mayor of Terre Haute, announces himself as Republican candidate for governor. He proposes a monthly pension of $60 for every person in Indiana who has attained the age of fifty and favors the principle of the Townsend old age pension plan. We have this to say for Mayor Beecher, he is advancing a program that is mighty intriguing. The social security plans of President Roosevelt, with the general idea in view of caring for the multitude, and removing the dread of advancing age and no means of support, should not be confined to any one party. Our haphazard methods of caring for little children in orphanages and placing old men and women in county poor houses certainly needs revision of some sort. Society will be far from perfect until social insecurity and dog eat dog politics are replaced by sdme sort of a system that will strike fear of economic privation from the home life of America. Most likely Mayor Sam Beecher will not receive the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana, but whether he does or not, he has added his voice to that of many Democrats, Republicans and Socialists who think in terms of humany, rather than expediency and subservience to some highly financed political group. Eventually America must regard its entire population as one big family, with no Cinderella sitting in the stairway in tears while the rest of the favored kin do the dancing. We know nothing about Mayor Beecher’s political history or anticedent philosophy, but we do know that he now gives voice to thoughts that all candidates for public office in Indiana and elsewhere would do well to emulate, if they expect the approval of the voting public.

There Haint No Justice Mayor Clare Bangs of Huntington dynamited the ice gorges in the Wabash river that winds through his town. Several buildings were wrecked and it was just the mayor’s luck that the light plant, the court house and the jail were left standing after the blasting. The mayor spent 101 days in jail for fighting the light plant, on a court finding of contempt, and only innocent bystanders were jarred by the dynamite. The mayor may now well say “there haint no justice.”

As to Senatorial Immunity Senator Borah, who reads his constitution, quoted from that document to his colleagues the other day that United States senators are immune from arrest only when not charged with treason, felonies and breaches of the peace and interpreted that to mean that senators are no better than anybody else. The average United States senator is simply a boiled down breach of the peace, therefore the Idaho <1. O. P. train wrecker warns his fellow senators that jails are not built fbT the sole occupancy of constituents and that the words “or breaches of the peace” puts United States senators exactly on the same level with common folks who simply vote for somebody else and never hold office themselves. Having enunciated this theory, which sounds reasonable, Senator Borah shpuld be. immediately arrested on the constitutional ground that he has broken the peace of the grand old party, with more devastating effect than any other Republican in America, in or outside of the senate. The Editor’s Comer | It has got here lately that when some enemy of the national administration finds his particular racket interfered with, the people are implored to remember that their sacred right of freedom of speech is being trampled under foot. The latest plea is being made on behalf of Major General Hagood, or nogood, or whatever his name is. The major, general was sent to the bench by President Roosevelt for criticizing the government’s method of distributing relief funds, declaring in a public inquiry that such funds were “WPA stage money.” The good genei-al should remember that it is the duty of a good soldier “to do and die and ask not the reason why.” This may sound somewhat hard boiled, but. when you are in the army the commander-in-chief is the final word, otherwise the cherished tenet of military discipline would be a scrap of paper. If a private in General Hagood’s division should feel free at any time to tell his captain to go to hell, and attempt to justify his conduct by falling back on his constitutional right to speak freely, the drum head court martial that would immediately follow would serve to convince the private that he had made a slight mistake in interpreting the constitution. President Roosevelt is the commander-in-chief of the army and navy. General Hagood is one of his subordinate officers. When the general went to West Point he was taught discipline and that shooting off the mouth too freely about superior officers is unhealthy. Soldiers, from the high command on down to the humblest private are merely policemen of the nation. If a Muncie policeman should go* on record as disagreeing wholly with the policies laid down by Mayor Bunch, he would soon be seeking another job. General Hagood deliberately elected to become a soldier. When he did that it is assumed that he knew what goes with the unpleasant job of soldiering. Somehow I am not a militaristic individual, but if I belonged to the army and wanted to cuss the commander-in-chief I would first tender my resignation, and then speak freely. X X X X Speaking of free speech, the library book “Freedom of the Press,” by George Seldes, a recent publication, is being freely read here and was recently made the subject of a critical review before a local civic club. Securing the book Wednesday I was casually “leafing” through it, and as I live and breathe, Fred Allen, there was my own name, and the name of the Post-Democrat in chapter 19, the caption of the chapter being “A Roll of Honor.” Col. Robert R. McCormick, owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune is quoted as listing the seventeen “outstanding achievements of the free press in America” and there was the little old Post-Democrat in the list in these words: “Case of George R. Dale, Muncie, Ind., publisher, sentenced for contempt of court.” That was some achievement. I achieved a jail sentence, but being of a stubborn disposition, refused to go until it was battled to the highest court and I’m still at large. The opening words of Mr. Seldes’ chapter, “A Roll of Honor,” speaks well for Mr. Seldes himself. He writes: “First of every roll of honor, is the Manchester Guardian.” That is conceded by every newspaper man on earth. Jim Bone, the editor of that great liberal British newspaper, voiced editorial opposition to the Boer war, and flag waving British” patriots” publicly burned copies of the Guardian on the streets of Manchester. Bone told me that himself. “Well that makes it fifty-fifty, Jim,” I remarked, “the Ku Klux burned my newspapers on the streets of Newark, Ohio.” The book gave a somewhat detailed account of the Post-Democrat’s struggles with the klan, its contempt and libel conflicts and its ultimate vindication, but I ought to sue Seldes for damages for not once mentioning that the subject of his discourse finally became mayor of Muncie. Mr. Seldes seems to have the peculiar idea that poor, plodding reporters are of more importance than proud, puffed up public officers. The idea! But at that, I believe about the same way about it, and remember publishing an editorial once, sort of apologizing to my readers for holding public office, to the effect that I considered my job as an assignment by the city editor.

Home Owners Are Benefited Delaware county home owners have benefitted to the extent of $2,535,342 through the refinancing and modernization programs of the Federal Housing administration and the Home Owners’ Loan corporation, Clarence Manion, Indiana director of the National Emergency council, disclosed today. The HOLC of last December 31, had made 1177 loans in Delaware

county for a total of $2,437,273. Out of tihs amount, Manion said, $118,510 was expended for assessments and $68,981 for repairs. Under title I, the FHA has received 38 apnlications totaling $10,369 and under title II 27 applications for $87,700. The FHA, Manion pointed out, does not actually lend the money but guarantees its repayment to private financial institutions. Funds advanced to distressed home owners by the HOLC will he repaid to the government over a period of fifteen years.

Basketball World Is Preparing For The Crucial Grind

Teachers and Professors Not Immune Prom Tentacles of iRound Octopus—Lessening Rigors of Disciline and Semi-Weekly Exams—Open Season for Downtrodden Coaches—Season Has Produced) Several Outstanding Teams.

(By Ed Satterfield) This being the last week of the active high school basketball season, the 802 teams are preparing for the crucial grind of March—the tournaments. The month of March may be anathema for many who fear its ferocity and boistrousness but Indiana loves this time of year for one thing—the tourneys. This is the season of the year when cage coaches rouse their charges from lethargetic indifference, when training rules are more rigidly stressed, when a fever of intense excitement and premonitory expectancy pervades the religious atmosphere of classrooms and study halls throughout Hoosier high schools. Teachers and instructors are not immune from the tenacles of the basketball octopus, they lessening the rigor of discipline and semi-weekly examinations. This is also the open season for down-town coaches, not only in Muncie, but in every community where even a general store is situated. The spirit of tourneytime is keenly felt in Tipton and Frankfort, where the eyes of sportland are focused, inasmuch as one of these two clubs may succeed Anderson as the champions of Ishaan. There is no less a feeling of interest in Grass Creek or Seymour, where victories have been few and far between this season. Loyal followers rally to the support of alma mater, no matter how hopeless alma mater’s chances may seem. Outstanding Teams To say the least, the season has produced several outstanding teams, while, on the other hand, a few more who are usually up among the elite disappointed. The most notable example of a team which failed to follow up pre-season predictions was Kokomo. Those who have seen the Wildcats in action claim that they have everything, but just can’t seem to click. Rushvilfe, Columbus, Anderson, Shelbyville and Technical are other schools which have not performed up to par. Seymour went on the toboggan at the outset of the current campaign and is still sliding. The Owls dropped seventeen in a row before their luck changed and victory stuck its welcomed head above the feathers of defeat. Tipton’s Blue Devils are by far the season’s prize quintet. The clan of Johnny Ward capsized among others, Frankfort, the scourge of the North Central Conference, Wabash, Marion, Kokomo, Noblesville i and Huntington. Just how they will fare in the coming tournaments remains to be seen, as Noblesville, Sheridan and Windfall, must be conquered in the sectional, and Marion and Kokomo (maybe) in the regional. One reason why the folks down ‘this way should be interested in this ball club is because they might be one of the four outfits down here for the semi-finals. The North Central Conference comes forward with another one of her inevitable assaults on the state championship with Frankfort’s Fighting Five as the team to watch out for. It seems that this Big Ten has formed somewhat of a monoply on the Ishaan crown race, teams from this organization cleaning house with consistent regularity. Everett Case’s charges are a greatly feared aggregation but there are individuals to be found who think that the boys, in Blue are slipping. However, the Hot Dogs are still very much in the race and will continue to be unless something unforeseen hap pens. It may be that an upset will occur in the regional, but the Gary semi-final may stop the Firing Five if the others can’t.

Rip-snorting Ball Club

Hammond, in the northern part of the state, comes forward with another rip-snorting ball club. Several years ago this school came to the state and lost out in the second round. This season’s outfit has been hard to stop and from present indications they’ll be harder to stop when the rub-off comes. Frankfort might find this out when* and if the two teams get together in the semi-final. W. E. Campbell, brother of Tim Campbell, formerly of Technical, is

coach at Hammond.

The only club in Western Indiana who appears to have much in the wav of championship calibre, is Jefferson of Lafayette. The Bronchoes, licked to a frazzle twice by Frankfort, may rouse sufficiently in the regional, (if they get by Battle Ground and West Lafayette in the sectional) to show them what’s what. Crawfordsville, Greencastle and Monticello look good but not good enough. They do say though, that

West Lafajethe ma^ surprise quite which boasts of Jim Downey, the

a few of the boys, including Jefferson, when the tourney-ball begins rolling. They claim to have the best floor guard in the state. Down in this neck of the woods its one dickens of a note. Teams look good one minute and worse the next, so that picking a potential contender causes one to have his girl friend inform him that he is getting dippy and should go to the dog pond. Central of Fort Wayne, Shelbyville, Muncie Central, Connersville, Berne, Hartford City, •Bluffton, Anderson, New castle, Richmond and Greensfork have looked good and terrible enough times to warrant their honorable mention as this time of year roves around. Shelbyville should have hail one of the outstanding teams in the state this season but the Mackmen are now as bad as the worst. It seems that Ike Ballard, who succeeded Paul Lostuttor as coach at the conclusion of last season, had to set a few of the boys on the bench because they had thought training rules were something to eat and not to observe. Coach Ballard, it seems, is a firm believer in keeping in condition, no matter how good the rest of the folks think you are. \ Watch For “Dark Horse” Now that we’ve mentioned the teams which everybody holds with fear and trembling, how about doing a little scouting around for what is commonly called a “dark horse.” Last year it was Ander-1 son’s Indians who ruined the dope bucket but the chances of Archie Chadd repeating the performance with this season’s conglomeration of basket-tossers looks next to impossible. Yet don’t fool yourself. The little gentleman in the dUver’s seat in the Wigwam is nobody’s fool and the club winning from him will have to plav basketball. Still we would hardly be foolish enough to pick the Green and Red as the 1936 title-holder, although we list the mas a mule of a dark

color.

Glen Curtis’ Martinsville Artesians are about the most perfect dark horse one could find anywhere. These boys have been known to drag through the season just so-so and then with a sudden burst of speed knock the props from under more formidable quintets. They have been coming fast in the last month and there are those who that there are going faster ere the curfatn rolls

down.

“Red Devils” Are.Hot! New Albany is giving Jeffersonville the jitters but the feeling is just the reverse in New Albany. After a slow start, the Red Devils have been garthering momentum and, whereas the New Albanyans were prime favorites earlier in the year, right now the betting is rather even. Led by Rauth, shifted from a forward position to floorguard at the start of the current season, Jeffersonville is all enthused once more, although last year’s dismal fade-out still prevails to lessen the glow of the sunshine. Ft. Wayne Central comes forword with a team which has been clicking up quite a furse this semester. Murray Mendenhall, the head man, seems to feel that maybe this is his year, but with Burl Friddle stirring up latent enthusiasm at South Side, nothing can be taken for granted. North Side is still around to help keep the pot boiling and keep the other teams on their respective toes. So far as that district is concerned the Berne Bears possess another scrappy aggregation, one which partisans claim will go places. Most of the last year’s outfit is back in harness and while the boys are rather small, they make up in speed and deception what they lack in size. Judson Erne is still in the driver’s seat. Hey, Muncie! Most of the Bears will be around next year. Mitchell and Jasper, 'the two giant-killer of southern Indiana, are up to their old tricks again. Mitchell is creating another ruckus in Bedford where the sectional went the wrong way )for the Stonecutters) last season. The Jasperies, while not punching with such telling effects as in former years, has enough punch left to knock someone’s ears down if that someone isn’t careful. Washington is undoubtedly that “some one”, inasmuch as the Hatchets have put on the disappointing act

of late.

Not to Be Overlooked Hunting'burg is supposed to be the real bugaboo in the deep reaches of Southern Indiana. Then they are aided and abetted by Salem, North Vernon, the school

six foot-ten center, Batesville and Princeton Central of Evansville, which has been doing some bas-ket-sliding of late, will run into quite a bit of opposition when they come face to face with OReitz, likewise from Evansville, who, after getting qff to a mediocre start, are finishing with a rush. Down at Berry Bowl, the boys and girls are getting their smiles back again the reason’ being, that after the slowest of slow starts, Cliff Wells has aroused Logansport’s Barries from their lethargy. As Vance, their ace floor-guard, may be one of the reasons for the resurrection but those four other boys know ho wto play the game of basketball, too. There are a host of little schools scattered throughout the width and breath of Hoosierland who are planning to make the going mighty unpleasant for the big boys. Ben Davis, in ^arion county, may be so good that Shortridge and Technical, the clubs which have dominated Indianapolis tournaments for years and years will take enforced vacation. Ninevah, Morristown, Wingate, Whiteland, Leo, Dunkirk Ridgeville, Lynn, Lapel, Spiceland, Greensfork, Paragon and a few others have been wading through the opposition like so much rain water. As we bring this narrative to a none-too-hasty conclusion, let us consider the situation at home. The Muncie Central Bearcats seem to have the inside track so far as the local sectional is concerned. As usual Yorktown looms as the major obstacle with Burris, of Muncie, Cowan, Gaston and Selma lurking in the background. Pete Jolly’s charges seem to be losing little sleep over an upset being scored at their expense in the preliminaries, while it is no open secret that just the opposite has been going on out-county. This happens to be Arthur Beck-

ner’s last season at the helm of the Tigers of Yorktown and naturally there is hope that his final year will bring its reward-—a victory over the Bearcats. It’s a sure cinch that it now or never for the boys from Mt. Pleasant Township, as eight of the ten first-string-ers graduate next spring. Gaston is the team which may do most of the dirty work. While small, the Bulldogs possess a terrible bite, not easily healed. Clarence Christopher, serving his first season as basketball coach, has molded together a winning team, one which has met and conquered the best of them in the district. I Cowan and Selma come forward again with enviable records. The Blackhawks were good enough to run second to Yorktown in the late county tournament and it is safe to say that they are tough, The Bluebirds have had an unusual run of bad luck since January and whether they can regain the stride of the early season remains to be seen. The sectional tournament gets under way at the Field House on next Thursday evening. On Saturday, March 14, the regional takes place at the sam£* institution, while the semi-final is held there the following Saturday, March 21. On Saturday, March 28, the four-team state finals will be held in Butler Field House, Indianapolis. This will be the first season under the new state tourney arrangements.

OBSERVATION (Continued From Page One). the cans my husband buried them in the garden. Since then, not only the health of our five children improved, but the cans grew, and now, each of our children has two suits of cotton pajamas. It’s really marvelous.

“Uphold the Constitution” sounds great as a campaign slogan, but the' trouble is, there are too maiTy fellows shouting “hold her up”, who would let go to spit on their hands in case there was a dollar in sight.

When an ex-convict has been elected to office, it is hard to make decent people believe that the X in his case is an unknown quantity.

Illinois seems to have a closed season against shooting rabbits, duck and other game birds, except there is no closed season against shooting those “birds” who try escaping from her penitentiaries.

pay the premiums on life insurance policies for city employees?

A short time ago there was much being said regarding the building of islands in the river channel, at several points inside the corporate limits of the city, and it was proposed that rock dams be constructed across the river , with flowers and shrubbery planted on top of the dams. Had this plan been carried out, we wonder what effect the breaking up of the ice in the river, and the resultant ice jams, would have had on the shrubbery? o-

SCHOOL

(Continued From Page One), kids to fabricate the perfect crime whereby they could knock off papa and - mama and get away with it, was written by an eminent Harvard professor. Will< Go Deeper The Post-Democrat is going a little bit deeper into this investigation. It is going to secure one of these text books and is going into the question of what is the matter with Harvard, (hat it permits one of its faculty to write text books of that character that are distributed among the schools of Indiana. The next thing students will be required to explain how to execute school teachers and avoid detection. If such a thing were found by Mr. Cross in one of his text books, he would probably

have hollered fire and sent for the police. This investigation will not be complete without finding all about that text book. We frequently hear about subversive thoughts disseminated by college professors and school teachers, looking to the overthrow of the government, but this is the first time we ever heard that plots were being engineered by educators to overthrow pap and mother, and possibly grandma.
