Get your ballot at your voting precinct on election day. Men are forgetful, many win admit. so a Hastings, Neb., post office posts the placard, “Have you mailed your wife's letter?”. o 0 The federal treasury now has a surplus of 93 million, dollars and expenses are running under receipts. The outlay for all governmental operations, including army and navy, is a little more than three billion a month. Uncle Sam is doing the biggest business of anyone in the world. o o A large reproduction of the '4B auto license plates will be featured at Butler University over the weekend, acquainting the crowd with the fact that the new tags will have white numerals on a blue background, the college's colors. The plates will go on sale after the first of the year o o Three strong men spoke within a few days of each other —Churchill, Byrnes and Marshall. None of them believes in early war with Russia; none of them believes war inevitable. They think if we watch our step, keep prepared, help western Europe get on her own feet and begin to carry her own load, war can be averted. As long as we have the atomic bomb, Russia is not going to get too faF from first base. o o Uncle Sam shows his muscle again. After bearing the brunt of a great war, he announces that he can uphold the exhausted nations of western Europe “without seriously draining its resources.” This is doubtless the most impressive task of the kind ever undertaken. It must be realized, however, that the nation's financial power is not unlimited, and it is essential that the burden's weight shall be held in proper bounds. o o The leading Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates turned down invitations to visit Indianapolis during the present city campaign period. Each one said he was too busy, and political writers wonder if there is any significance to their refusal, or if Governor Gates is an avowed aspirant for second place on the ticket. The Indianapolis campaign is rolling along, with Al Feeney, Democrat mayoral candidate, getting the limelight on his anti-gamb-ling drive.

The congressional hearing in Washington on Communists' activities in Hollywood is a glamorous show, a preview of the stars and pulchritude, if that word can be used in describing the males who have taken the witness stand. There was Adolph Menjou, followed by Robert Taylor and last, but not least that former Hoosier, Paul V. McNutt, general counsel for the film industry. It's the biggest attraction in the national capital, outdoing the Mellon Art Museum for interest. o o It is an old and familiar tradition that "curiosity killed a cat,” but it may be many a day before that principle is applied again to an airplane as it was lately. A pilot is credited with diliberately pushing a wrong button in full ■ flight, just to see what the plane would do. He found out very quickly, as did the 53 persons con- ’ sided to his care. Maybe that pilot will never do any more flying. But will not some other fellow do some fool thing just as crazy? There ought to be some provision, however, to make sure that the experiment endangers nobody but the experimenter. o o . Adolph Menjou, suave Holly-1 wood actor, in his testimony before the congressional committee, advocated the outlawing of the Communists party in this country. Students of government, advise against such a procedure, explaining that it would be in conflict to Constitutional rights. Commenting on the hearing, the Indianapolis Star, says: "But committee members must take care that their investigation produces no attempts at censorship, no invasion of civil rights and no impairment of basic political freedoms. Their job is to expose the influences that are I at work trying to undermine the American system of government; to get the facts. Beyond that the judgement of the people will take over. The best weapon against suversive activity is publicity and exposure, not suspension of rights or repressions." The newspaper pointed out that outlawing the commies, would merely drive them underground. ! •■■■Oct. 23, 1927 was Sunday. 0 I KICK-OFF DINNER j (Continued from Page 1) i South, Cal Yost.
