Just to Keep the Record Straight mT is a well-known fact that a certain type of reformer must create the impression that he is fighting great opposition in order to continue to make his livelihood as a reformer. If the opposition does not actually exist, he does not hesitate to distort the facts in order to make his followers believe that it does exist. At the present time Dr. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, is going up and down the State deliberately misrepresenting the editorial policy of the Indianapolis Times. We do not believe that any one who has followed the editorials on this page from day to day can possibly be misled, but for the benefit of those who have not done so, we repeat here briefly our attitude as heretofore set out, 1. The Indianapolis Times believes the prohibition laws, both Federal and State, should be strictly enforced. We believe that the majority of the citizens of Indiana favor prohibition and that they have the right to demand such enforcement. We have made this statement repeatedly in these columns. 2. We believe that the Fourth amendment to the Federal Constitution and the corresponding section of the Indiana Constitution should be strictly enforced. We believe that this amendment and this section contain guarantees without which no free Republic could possibly exist. We have made these stateinents repeatedly in these columns. In order to refresh the memory of our readers, we reprint the Fourth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which is repeated almost Word for word in the Indiana Constitution : “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue, but on PROBABLE CAUSE, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons and things to be seized. 3. We stand for the enforcement not only of the laws specified above, but of all laws so long as they" are on the statute books. It is the theory of representative government that the people must abide by the decision of the majority as represented by their lawmakers. A free government can not be successful otherwise. We have made these statements repeatedly in these columns. 4. We believe that the promiscuous granting of police powers to irresponsible citizens carries with it a serious menace to the community and that the granting of such privileges to men who constantly break the law with impunity can only result in general disrespect for law and the disintegration of our institutions. We believe that police powers should be put into the*hands only of legally constituted authorities responsible directly to the people and in a position to be held strictly accountable for their actions. The Indianapolis Times is uncompromisingly committed to this policy. It intends to upheld this policy as long as it owns a sheet of white paper and a printing press—and that is going to be for a long, long time. We intend to uphold this policy and to fight for it because we believe that am American can not do otherwise.

National' Chairman Butler went to Youngstown, Ohio, the other day and made a speech in which he said; “We are now approaching our next trial of strength in the congressional and senatorial contest of 1926. The Democratic party is endeavoring to set on foot a warfare of investigating charges and scurrilous attacks similiar to what it has heretofore attempted. 'But the American people are too discriminating to be fooled. It will all end as it did a year ago.” Perhaps Chairman Butler is right in saying it will all end as it did a year ago. But in the meantime? Much earlier than a year ago the investigations of which he complains—not Democratic investigations, but non-partisan—had produced certain results. Fall was out. Denby was out. Daugherty was out. Forbes was out. Those were not bad results, nor small results. Regardless of the election returns of a year ago, the President did not dare reappoint Fall, Denby, Daugherty or Forbes. There was that much clear again. So some investigations may be useful, even if “it will all end asjt did a year ago.” Butler says the people are too discriminating to be fooled. Lincoln said the same thing, but li£ added—“all the time.” Lincoln urns honest about it; that’s the difference. He knew that all of us can be fooled some of the time and that some of us can be fooled all the time. But he was sure that all of us cannot be fooled all of the time. If the Democrats or anybody else contemplate investigating the workings of the Government or any branch of it, the thing to do is to go ahead and investigate. The question of whether or not the people can be fooled will take care of itself in its own way in its own time.

Manager Campaign Goes Forward jr-p IHE decision of the executive committee 1 * I of the Committee of 1,000 to go forward with the city manager campaign was the only decision possible under the circumstances. Indianapolis must pull itself out of the political mud that is stifling the city’s progress. The greatest handicap under which Indianapolis is laboring today is its city government. Without anew deal in city government we cannot go forward. Other cities in similar situations have found that manager government is the way out. No improvement can be expected from the Duvall administration. The action of the mayor-elect in running away and refusing to face the people who elected him, and. his policy of attempting to please politicians in making his appointments, rather than appointing men capable of filling the positions for which they have been named, has foredoomed his administration to failure. It is certain that we can expect nothing from, that .quarter. The first step in the city manager campaign should he the filing of, the petition asking for a referendum. A petition bearing sufficient signatures to bring about a vote on the subject already is in existence. ‘ Then there should be an educational campaign to acquaint the citizens thoroughly with the plan of government. The plan is not new. The recent experience of Cincinnati in overthrowing the political machine that has ruled that city for a generation is just an indication of how it works. If the petition should be filed now, it could be brought to a vote within sixty days after May 1, 1926. Then we would have time to consider the real problem involved in any successful city government—the selection of the right kind of public officials.

Wrote Sketch

Test Dalton, Indianapolis author, wrote the comedy playlet, "Say, Uncle,” in which Snub Pollard, comic of the screen, will be seen at the Palace the first half of next week. The skit is a tabloid frorp the first act of Dalton’s play. “Uncle -John,” which, with "The Mantel of Lincoln" and “The Blue Orchid” were produced by municipal theaters in the past three years. Prior to the presentation of these three plays the Little Theatre staged his, “Not According to Hoyle.” Among Mr. Dalton's plays which will, be produced in the future are: “System Marmaduke,” “For Brides Only,” “Among Those Present” and “Navarre.” “Adam’s Apple," the old version of “Uncle John,” is now being produced in Sacramento, Cal., and Houston, Texas. STILL IS CONFISCATED New Albany Man Charged With Liquor Vilolation. John Streigel of New Albany, was arrested, Friday, by Federal prohibition agent on charge of operating a still on his farm.

Text: “For'the day of the I>ord of Hosts shall be upon every' ono that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted uo; and he shall be brought low.”—ls. 2:12. r"*y HEN the late Francis Joseph Yl/ Mied and the day for his *“ burial arrived, his body was taken to the gates of the Capuchin monastery where the procession was halted by a challenging voice from inside, crying, "Who is there?" A functionary of the court answered, “His Most Serene Majesty the Emperor Francis Joseph.’ To this the voice within responded. "I know him not," and lepeated the challenge. "Who is there?” The court functionary replied, “The Emperor of Austria and the Apostolic King of Hungary.” "I know him not." the challenger within the crypt again cried, and re-1 peated once more, “Who is there?” Upon receiving this third challenge the court, official responded, “A sinful man, our brother, Francis Joseph.” Thereupon the gates were opened and the body received.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

UNIFORMS FOR HIGHWAY COPS r-~—l l HECTORS of the Hoosier I State Auto .Association, at a recenV meeting, condemned u.„ practice of officers not in uniform stopping and arresting motoron the road for infractions of traffic laws. They- want such officers to wear distinguishing uni forms and look the part. Their attitude is not unreasonable. With distressing frequency innocent, inoffensive motorists guess wrong as to the identity of imperious individuals who attempt to stop theme on the highways. Quite often the motorist who obeys the command finds himself the victim of hold-ups or hi-jackera. He is tossed out on his ear and the outlaws drive away with his car. On the other hand, if he doesn’t stop he may be filled with bird shot by the exasperated constable whom he thus flouts. It’s-a hard life for the motorist. Certainly there should be some distinctive marks by which the motorist can tell the difference between the “law 1 ' and the outlaw at a glance. Formerly true officers were easily recognized. They had flat feet and bulges on their hips where nestled their guns. Now flat feet may merely signify a Charlestoner. And the bulging hip is found in all classes of society. It may indicate a thirst or a bandit. A more conspicuous badge of authority such as a uniform seems advisable for officers. Hut it might simplify matters to put the uniforms on the outlaws instead of the enforcers of the highway laws. To put uniforms on deputy sheriffs, constables, prohibition agents, horsethief detectives, and the whole host of official and unofficial law enforcers who Infest highways and stop automobiles would involve heavy expense besides giving Hcosier landscapes an overwhelmingly martial aspect. Even uniforms can’t make many of the arrests, halts and searches, to which Hoosier motorists are subjected in the name of tshe law, more digr ified.

ONLY 15-YEAR-OLD INTELLIGENCE |R. G. C. BRANDENBURG of the psychology departi___J ment at Purdue, at a session of the citizenship school just held at that institution, asserted that it is misleading and erroneous to say that the intelligent of the American people is represented by a mental age of fifteen years. “Assuming that sixteen years represents mental maturity,” he explains, “it would be approxi-/ mately correct to say the average mental age of the America!' people is about fifteen years.” zHave it your own way. Doctor. But even ycur explanation doesn’t flatter our national pride. You still rank the average American mentality below normal mature Intelligence. Psychologists, self-crowned intellectuals, and unsuccessful candidates for office always speak disdainfully of the low order of intelligence exhibited by the mass of the people. We are seemingly a nation of boobs. It may be true. Certainly there is very little in the record of daily public and private, to dispel the idea that our average mental age Is fifteen years or less. But eyen this is quite a powerful, tolerably civilized Nation. If all of us of the 15-year-old intellects were , eliminated there wouldn’t be much Nation or civilization left. Probably the average mentality of people is higher now than ever before. Which holds forth the hope that the human race will be quite a race when it does attain mental maturity. DETOURING IN INDIANA ROVES of Indianapolis football fans hie themselves ■ by automobile to Bloomington and other out-State points today to attend classic gridiron combats. The Indiana-Purdue game at Bloomington and the Notre DameNorthwestern battle at South Bend are the headliners. To reach Bloomington the motorist has the option jot three routes over State highways. .-.He can travel State Rd. 22 to Martinsville, then detour over 12 arid 32. by way of Spencer to Bloomington.

There the lofty are brought low and must, in common with the rest of mankind, acknowledge themselves as sinful men whose only title to recognition is the title of divine grace and mercy. In the eyes of God there are no privileged classes. In his presence, potentates and peasants, senators and servants, barons and bootblacks, the high and the humble, stand on the same footing and have an equal chance. In the Old Testament we read of Naaman,''the Syrian prince, who wanted to be treated as a great man, ,*vho happened to be a leper. But, you will remember, Elisha insisted on treating him as a leper, who happened to be a great man. That is God's way of dealing with men. He Has provided for all a way of salvation, but that way is the same to all men. In this way’the great and the sn?all must walk side by side. ICopyright, 1925, by John R. Gunn)

A bumpy ten-mile detour otfer county roads south of Franklin. The Indianapolis football fan who drives to South Bend for the Notre Dame game has an easy time. Jut follow State Rd- 1 north out of the city and keep going. Only there is forty-five miles of rough gravel between Peru and Plymouth and a detour north of Peru because of ditch construction. We have an extensive and expensive State highway system in Indianp., of which we are wont to boast. But it’s a short Journey on our State highways that doesn’t encounter some obstacle that compels the motorist to take off across country on a roundabout, jolting, unimproved country road. Detouring is one of the best things Hoosier motorists do. MARKINGCITY STREETS mHE Indianapolis park board proposes to erect signs—to be lighted at night—at boulevards and street intersections indicating the best routes into the heart of the city. It is believed such markers will be helpful to tourists unfamiliar with local topography. The plan has merit. Even more helpful, though, than a few signs on boulevards would be complete rehabilitation of all the street markers in Indianapolis Some of our thoroughfares are labeled so that he who runs may read, but right in the heart of the city street signs are missing from many important corners. And throughout the city a vast number of street markers have succumbed to age and the elements and are illegible. A stranger must find his way around by scent. Some of our street signs are placed to catch conveniently the eye of the passerby. Some are underfoot: others high overhead on the walls of buildings. Such crack people’s necks instead of guiding them. To a native street signs are not of vital importance. He will not mistake ’Golden Hill for the stockyards district, even on a dark night. His nose knows. But to a stranger, whose olfactory nerves are not attuned to local topography, the absence of legible street signs is confusing. He can’t find his way around by intuition. Early last spring the board of public safety, incited by the local the American Association of Engineers, declared it would Immediately start the work of marking. Indianapolis streets with nety signs. Out-of-town visitors still grope about uncertainly. When is "immediately”?

by our formost symphony orchestras during previous seasons. Casella's father was a cellist, ns was his grandfather, the famous Alfredo Platti, and his mother also was a musician, a pianist of brilliant attainments. Thus music was the natural environment of Alfredo Casella. But for a time the musical tendency was overshadowed by a singular aptitude for the sciences, especially chemistry and electricity, and the idea was once seriously considered of relegating music to the secondary position and allowing the young Casella to follow his scientific - bent. But Giuseppe Martueol, the composer, strongly counseled the musical career. His vision, as we now know, proved far-seeing, for Casella is today the leader among forward looking Italian composers. -I- I- I- ——] T THE Academy of Music on A Monday night, Nov. 23, the ** Indianapolis Maennerchor will appear in its annual fall concert with Dusolina Glanninl, soprano, of New York, will be the soloist.

captain had consented, and speaking apparently from the temple steps Paul had given that fine summary of his life and religious experience recorded In the twenty-second chapter of Acts. The crowd had listened quietly until Paul had come to the place where he spoke of his call to minister to the Gentiles. Then Jewish prejudice had broken out afresh, with violent demand for Paul’s life, so that the captain took him to safety in the castle. The captain was puzzled over the whole business, and he was also worried over his part in the affair, for he had bound Paul, and was on the point of scourging him, npt knowing that Paul was a free-born Roman citizen. He was anxious to know what all this furore among the Jews was about, so he arranged the next •day for Paul to appear before the Jewish Council. • Violent Discs nsions Here ‘again Paul made his defense. apd seeing that the Council was itself divided Into Pharisees and Sadducees in injected into the proceedings the question of the resurrection. Such a violent dissension arose that, the captain, fearing that Paul should have been pulled to pieces by the contending parties, again had the soldiers rescue him. But deep dangers still beset Paul. A band of his enemies swore a vow that they would neither eat nor drink until they had' killed him, and they conspired to have him broughr to the Council again on the following day, intending to waylay and kill him. But Paul’s nephew, hearing of the conspiracy. Informed the captain and the latter made everything safe by sending Paul, by night, strongly guarded, to Caesarea, the Roman capital of the province, about forty miles from Jerusalem. Here the chief priest, and others, came, accusing Paul, and our lesson is Paul’s defense, after he had been permitted by Felix to speak for himself. His answer to the charges against him Is straight and unequivocal. He has been neither pestilent, nor a trouble-maker. He had gone about his worship in Jerusalem quietly and without offense. But he Is equally clear In confessing his difference religiously from his persecutors. “After the way that they call heresy,” he says to Felix, “so worship I the God of my fathers.” And lest Felix should mistake his zeal for that of a narrow or blind fanaticism, Paul expresses the .meaning and purpose of his religious life In a

How strangely the proud Roman judge contrasts after twenty centuries with the obscure Jew who stood before him! How could Felix have imagined that he would go down to fame only for his passing association with Paul, and that he would appear in history as trembling in the presence of the strength and fortitude of moral heroism! "And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felly trembled, and answered. Go thy *vay for this time; when I have aconvenient season, I will call for thee.” Convenient seasons never come—especially In the world of moral and spiritual opportunity! The way of life is an upward way, and a hard way, a tray of discipline, devotion and sacrifice. Felix went out of office still vacillating, willing to leave Paul hound, through ho knew him to be Innocent, simply that it might please the Jews. Trembling never gets a man anywhere.
