NOTE This vviii be the last Editor's Corner to be written oy the original editor of the Post-Democrat due to the death of George R. Daie, who talked to his many readers every week in this column It is not difficuit'-to detect that these following words are his since he rejoiced in kidding both his enemies and friends as well as himseif with an assortment of words that can only be those of the deceased editor. " 4 ,
The Life of a Schoolmaster The Muncie Press Tuesday displayed a likeness of Professor Allman, an instructor at Indiana University, who, the Press says, is to succeed D. W. Horton as superintendent of the Muncie schools, coupling its story that all three members of the school board are in accord in making the, change. Superintendent Horton, somewhat at sea, says he is like the late Will Rogers in that all he knows about the matter is what he reads in the newspapers. The Post-Democrat has the highest regard for every school teacher in the land. They are all good, or they would not deliberately choose a vocation that entails the sacrifice of holding jobs that are subject to the political maneuvering of ward heeelers who think the alphabet is some strange animal from Africa and that two and two makes two. Probably the Press is correct in giving out information in advance of official announcement of the school board. It is also correct in its statement that Mr. Horton has served admirably as superintendent of public schools here and its eulogiums of his successor are most likely well deserved. However we would suggest to Professor Allman that he is coming to a “hot spot,” where school board politics will i eventually overtake him, as it has practically all who have preceded him in the past. School teachers who dedicate Themselves to the high calling of guiding the wavering footsteps of youth, should not be distracted from their duties by thoughts of reprisals of this or that political dignitary or by the constant menace of surrendering their jobs in favor of somebody' else who may be expected to transform the schools into a political machine. ; The Post-Democrat has always held the various superintendents of the Muncie schools in the highest regard, but has considered their judgment bad in choice of life work, from a material standpoint. Lawyers, physicians and carpenters are selected for their ability. When a man hires a lawyer he wants the best, without regard to his political trend of thought. If you build a house you do not depend upon a precinct committeeman to recommend the appointment of the contractor, or when you need a doctor you do not trust the exploration of your vitals to the chpice of the county chairman. But the schools, where our children are taught, are subjected to the crudest form of political control imaginable. Once a year the council elects a member of the school board. Politics in the raw usually enters into these elections. i The school' board immediately becomes a law r unto itself and the council creating the board, is powerless to control the actions of the board or to remove the members except by impeachment process. We have never heard of any complaint against Mr. Horton and no reason has been assigned aS yet why he should he summarily removed. If there is any reason why he should be fired it should be plainly stated. The older students and the parents of all the children have begun to inquire what it is all about. They are entitled to the information.
Highly Recommended Fred Bolinger, who was picked up by local police after he had flashed an unexplained bank roll and then remanded to the custody of the state police, who released him, assures the public that the state police are “perfect gentlemen.” With this high endorsement there should be no more criticism directed at the state troopers from any source.
HERE THEY ARE (Continued From Page One.) quality, true economy and real cervice." Most likely the colloquy between the two firemen in the cartoon would have qualified in itself as the essay, without violating the rules of the contest. Giving all other contestants due credit for their efforts, the PostDemocrat commends Ralph J. Satterlee to the public on his unique
presentation and predicts a brilliant business future for one possessed of such talent, and such a keen eye for the value of true advertising, Pasadena, Cal.—An Investigation of “relief chiselers” by local authorities has convinced the latter that the average “chiseler” is not a criminal but is merely ignorant of charity and relief regulations. A systematic campaign will be launched as a consequence to edu cate relief applicants.
UNUSUAL FACTS REVEALED -by “Movie Spotlight*/
Wilbur Sutton handed me a bunch of bricks and bouquets in his Comment column one day recently, all done up in one neat package, which is the right way to hand ’em out, if you ask me. , The burden of the essay was, if I get it right, is that the old rascal rather misses me around the city hall, where his reporters could always dig up a live story, during the five years’ duration of the preceding, and late lamented" city administration. Wilbur very frankly states that I was generally wrong but was always very positive in asserting forcibly anything that happened to be on my mind, and rather suggests that the old leopard hasn’t yet changed his spots to any noticeable degree. He brands though as distinctly “anti-social,” whatever that means, a few things published in this column during that period, directed at him personally. Now that Wilbur has put it that way, far be it from me to withhold apologies for that particular misconductfi. Anything said here that were meant as barbed darts aimed directly at the editor of the Press, are hereby disowned, retracted and consigned to the tomb of poetical license and I will even go so far as to state that these accusations against the editor may be included among the temperamental ex cesses of the times when I was “generally wrong.” After all he may have been right as to that particular point for the people here by impressive majorities coincided in that view at the polls in 1934.. It is barely possible though that Wilbur was mistaken in branding me as “generally wrong” and that the voters were mistaken in assuming the same attitude, but editors have a right to express their views and voters have a right to vote as they please. If the tiiqe ever comes that Wilbur will concede that I was generally right, and Muncie citizens feel the same way about it, I will not be ilnduly elated, for while admitting that I was occasionally wrong while serving as mayor I have the inner consciousness that I was generally right. This does not mean that I am paving the way for another term as mayor, dog catcher or constable. Just running a newspaper is good enough for me and as this newspaper has repeatedly asserted, no newspaper man should hold office. Back in 1929 1 took a fool notion to run for mayor, and after a barn storming campaign was elected. I felt like a fisfy out of water. There I was holding an office I could not very well criticize. Many things happened, which irritated me, and as reporters of both daily newspapers were given the free run of the city hall, by my express orders, it would have been easy to find ground for criticism in every department, which could have been magnified into mountains by expert writers. Ordinarily though things which might have looked bad on the surface, were overlooked by the reporters and on several occasions I felt like chiding them for their intentional blindness, but the boys treated me kindly. ♦' I never really got mad at a reporter in my life, and apologized to him later. Harley Knott, a really good reporter then working for the Star, in giving an account of administration Christmas gifts, wrote “The police department presented the mayor’s wife with a silver cocktail set.” It was during the “dry” period and while I think the ornate set was purchased through a mistaken idea of what it really was, nevertheless it was a cocktail set, and was openly displayed in the police department, prior to its presenta-
tion.
Harley saw it there and wrote the simple truth of what he saw. Probably if 1 had been a reporter or editor of an anti-administration newspaper I would have elaborated with a few scathing remarks as the sincerity of a mayor and police department that cleaned up bootleggers and passed silver cockstail sets around among themselves. Candidly I did not know what it was myself and neither did my wife and the police until it was published. HarlEy, being a little more sophisticated, knew the evil things for what they were, and printed what he saw. Incidentally that precious cocktail set is one of the prized possessions of the Dale family and if it is ever used to concoct potent mixed hilarity each one of those silver goblets will be filled to the brim and a toast proposed to a truthful reporter. But the publication of that brief item, which was candidly truthful, with no evil intent about it, emphasized one thing in my own makeup. I never got mad at anybody who lies about me, but for heaven’s sake don’t start to tell the truth about me.

(Continued From Page T3ne.) by George R Dale, succeeded with the aid of federal government "stooges" to convict the mayor and his allied administrative officers with nothing but perjured
evidence.
This long siege of unjustified turbulence which cost ex-may-or Daie nearly ail his salary as mayor and at his age greatly added to his failing health was ended in 1933 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who granted the wrongly accused chief executive of Muncie a full unconditional presidential pardon The President stated clearly in his pardon of Dale that the defendant was unquestionably convicted on perjured evidence. During this time while protecting hmseif from the attacks of law violators whom he had driven out of business as mayor, Mr. Dale suffered a retinal hemorrhage which after several months in hospitals and under physicians care he was left partially blind in his left eye. Although actively interested and a leader in D’emocratic politics practically ail his life, the miltant editor sought public office himself only three times and was elected twice. In his early days at Hartford City, Indiana, where jfis esh tabiished a newspaper, George Dale was elected and serVed as town clerk. Only Thursday afternoon, twelve hours before he passed awsy, the writer of this story listened to Mr. Dale and William Harley city engineer un^r the Dale administration, con•'se over their political exper.c.oes at Hartford City. Harley was serving as city engineer at the same time Dale served as clerk and with the efforts of both these men together with the aid of Dale's newspaper, Hartford City bought its own waterworks which it still owns today. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR The second adventure into office seeking for himself came in 1928 when ho announced as a Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana. Although polling a large amount of votes throughout the state, Daie was defeated for the nomination by Frank C. Dailey of Indianapolis, on the convention floor. A year later, he filed as a candidate for mayor of Muncie and received the Democratic nomination over a field of five aspirants, His campaign against the Republican candidate, the late Robert Barnes, who was a personal friend of George Dale, resulted in his election by a large majority. He served his four, year term beginning with January 6, 1930 and because of the afct passed by the 1933 legislature which held over municipal elections another year he served an additional year in the mayor’s office. George R. Dale was born in Monticeilo, Indiana, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Dale, lawyer and merchant. His father was a Civil .war veteran. Leaving his birthplace, the younger Daie followed the newspaper business and established himself in Hartford City. There he was married to Lena Mohier on November 14, 1900. Mr. Daie moved from Hartford City to Montpeiier, Indiana, where he also established a newspaper. His third move was back to Hartford City still following the newspaper business and in 1915 he came to Muncie where he founded the Muncie Post which is now your current publication of the Post
Democrat.
“FAMOUS LAST WORDS” The “Editors Corner" column in this issue of the Post Democrat together with an article headed “Gun-Toting" and the two editorials on page four were the last lines pounded out on his typewriter before retiring and after which he never awoke. With ail the hundreds and thousands of newspaper columns he has written during his lifetime, the fact that he remained active behind his typewriter offering copy for the press within a few minutes of his death, such an ^ct would no doubt bring the statement from him if he were able to speak that “I died in my boots.’ 7 The entire immediate family was present at his bedside although he never regained consciousness to recognize any of us. His heart was ever present with his family and so we say goodbye to a loving father, a true American, a fearless editor, and a truly great man. Besides his wife, there survives seven children, one brother, two sisters, and six grandchildren. They are Mrs. Lena Dale, Mrs. filana.. Butts,—George—-Jr,, M.rs.
