A DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE should be held at the State House in connection with the blue sky commission. THE DISCOVERY of a still in a burning house should impress bootleggers with the necessity foe fire prevention. THE ABSENCE of anv remarks from the city planning commission on Traffic problems will hardly be noted while we have so many suggestions from others. MR SHANK wants a good deal from those society women whom he desires to sene as -coppers.” but undoubtedly the experiment would be worth while for the community. THOSE CITY OFFICIALS who are now offering their resignations have doubtless been tipped that the hardest thing in the world to do is to work for the man who does not \vant you! Mr. Shank's Troubles Cumulative evidence that the administration of Samuel Lewis Shank is not to be without its difficulties, stirred up by influences that have never been friendly to him. is becoming stronger day by day. First there was a definite effort made to make it appear that Mr. Shank was trying to ignore the members of the city council. Mr. Shank countered this by asking the councilmen to participate in board meet.n 0 s and take responsibility for districts. Then an attempt was made to make it appear that there has been a split in the Shank followers and that two factions are working at cross purposes in obtaining appointments. Mr. Shank countered this by selecting his appointees without regard to either of the so-called factions. Now, we are told in all seriousness, that there is a rupture bet ween Mr. Shank and his selection for chief of police. Herman Rikhoff, over the question of whether card playing will be allowed in the police station. Os course, such differences of opinion as have been portrayed between Mr. Shank and Mr. Rikhoff are too trivial to receive attention from serious minded citiens, but they nevertheless seme well the purpose °f those >\..o would create dissension or lack of confidence in the ranks of the ne". administration. In the next few months this community is going to have an <>: - tunity to discern who and what are working to the be'terment of Indianapolis. No one ever started an administration with less oppo-u.on ai. l more hopes for success than Samuel Lewis Shank will start his administration. Rivalry between political parties is ended insofar as the rity eminent i3 concerned. Mr. Shank wiped awa> partisanship in the .•( .. u of his appointees and there is not sufficient of a Democratic organitat on outside the lists of Shank supporters to formulate a fight on his administration. Neither capital nor labor is endeavoring to bring pressure on Mr Shank for anything other than a fair and square administration. No group of business men is opposing the incoming mayor and no rt..er group is trying to control him. From the humblest of the city’s residents to the most influential with the exception of a single selfish element—there is an earnest desire that Mr. Shank make a success of his incumbency. This single element which is now too cowardly to show itself m open opposition to him is covertly seeking to create distrust of him in tbe minds of the people. It is eagerly seeking excuses for attempts to mal:o the public feel that Mr. Shank does not know his own mind, that im is interfering with the various department heads that he has appointed, and above all, that he has a leaning toward cards, and gambling and general lax law enforcement. The love of fair play which Indianapolis people have 60 often demonstrated is today too strong to permit Mr. Shank to be maligned rnd abused as he was in the primaries and in the election campaign. C on6equently, the fountains of abuse that were so wide open during that period have been closed. But the men who operated those fountains have not lost their animosity toward Mr. Shank. They hope to destroy him as mayor, even though they failed to destroy him as a candidate. Right now they are laying the foundation for their campaign to destroy him. And the peopie of Indianapolis who chose him mayor hv an overwhelming majority must be on their guard against the insidious propaganda of those who still adhere to the “rule or ruin” policy under which they have marred so many previous administrations and interfered so dastardly with the progress of Indianapolis. Mr. Shank not only has the right but the duty of giving Indianapolis the kind of an administration he deems in its best interests. He has the unquestionable right to surround himself with the men he wishes to help him, whether they have heretofore been prominent In Republican politics or not, whether they have been in favor or out of favor with the “ruling element,” No newspaper nor individual has the right to find fault with appointees until they have been tried out In office. Neither Is it fitting hat prejudice should be created against the Incoming administration because of the expressions of opinions of those who will constitute It. Fair play demands that Mr. Shank be not judged by what certain writers think his policies will be. Indianapolis cannot be made a better city through assuming that ’he majority of its citizens voted in the last election without having definitely made up their minds as to the man they wanted for mayor. Enforce Traffic Laws “Indianapclls is no longer a hick city and hick driving cannot be derated. The Jay driver who fails to give signals, who drives always in he middle of the street, serves to slow up and endanger traffic,” says M. '1 Noblett of the Hoosier Automobile Association. And he is everlastingly right about it, too! But, Wednesday shortly after noon, a woman driving an enclosed ar, turned north in Meridian street from Washington street when the emaphore was turned against her and narrowly missed several petlesrians. The traffic officer stopped her, but immediately ordered her on. And five minutes later she turned from Market street south In Pennvlvania street against the “stop” sign and amid another scurrying of edestrians. And the traffic man on this corner never even looked up. If "hick” driving is to be stopped in Indianapolis the traffic squad will have to stop it, and if the traffic squad is going to stop it the members will have to use more vigorous methods than at present. And if they use more vigorous methods than at present there will he a lot of offense taken by people who believe themselves “good citizens." And the rest of us, who get rather tired dodging to avoid being the innocent victims of these astonishingly ignorant and careless drivers, will have to stand up for the traffic men who enforce the law Let’s do it in the Interests of safety! Neither Better Nor Worse Referring to the work of the Washington conference, which seems to have Insured the integrity of Japan without the knowledge of President Harding, the New' York World says: “The World can find no valid reason why popular resentment against the American delegates who deceived both the President and the country should be permitted by the Senate to imperil the ratification of the four-power treaty. The treaty itself is neither better nor worse because ] of the secret understanding or because a flimsy trick was plated on the j President of the United States by his own representatives whom he had , ’ijaWtembaat art nra_

BOOKLEGGER IS PRESENT WITH SPICY VOLUMES Deals in Books Which Are Banned Because of Their Risque Nature. Spe-ia.l to Indiana Daily Times I and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RAYMOND G. CARROLL.
