Editor Time • — AFTER several months under the management of Charles Schlotz, I feel that we Indeed have been very fortunate In selection of a man as superintendent of the Marlon county infirmary. He is trying to turn this institution into a real home for aged people. It is astonishing the changes he has wrought in such short order. He has worked hard to accomplish this, and, with his assistants, Mr. Clark and Mr. Terrmisteen. he surely has done wonders. We only are hoping that the good work still may go on and that we can point with pride to the home. I would appreciate very much if you would print my letter as we want to inform the world outside what a modern home we have out here and how much we appreciate It. O. E.

A DEMOCRAT. a a a Editor Timm — PRACTICALLY all authorities agree that economic systems are born, flourish during maturity, decline, decay and die. Applied to capitalism, this means the present depression represents either a minor and temporary illness or a major and permanent one. The capitalist-writer, Arthur Brisbane. accepts thus scientific theory. But this same Arthur <who all during the spring and summer of 1929 told us to "buy good stocks, keep them and they will keep you,”) pictures capitalism in its present stage as a baby—tcutting teeth. However. the economist, Stuart Chase, shows that if we returned to the business volume of 1928-29 there would be work for only about 50 per cent, of our unemployed. This would seem to indicate old age,' a permanent hardening of the arteries. The question is: Does the present depression represent capitalism as a baby with the colic, or as an old man with a paralytic stroke? If the former is true, then the Republicans. with their ice bags, or Roosevelt, who wants to walk the baby about a bit. will suffice. If the latter is true, then the next and immediate step in social evolution is Socialism, and there remains but the Socialists, who want to revive capitalism with a hypodermic injection of ten billion dollars, or the Communists, who prefer to give the corp.se a decent burial and pass on to Socialism.

The Italian acting consul, who presented these medals to these honorable and worthy men, fails miserably in his recognition of advancement of Italian culture.

The Italians of this city want to know what one outstanding contribution have these men made toward the growth and development of Italian culture in this city—if they have. Only one man in this city deserves recognition for advancement of Italian culture, and this man is the priest of Holy Rosary church on the south side. Father Priori. The Holy Rosary church, the school and the Greer street and Stevens street playgrounds are achievements toward advancement of Italian culture in this city.

TROOPS CLAMP LID ON MINERS’ CIVIL LIBERTY Soldiers Rule Illinois City, Despite Denials of Martial Law. THOUSANDS AT FUNERAL Three Persons Form ‘Mob’ in Taylorville, According to Sheriff’s Idea. BY DAN KIDNEY Time, Start Writer TAYLORVILLE, 111., Oct. 17. Christian county, Illinois, turned out its citizenry almost en masse on the Christian sabbath to join with mourning miners at the grave of Andrew Gyenes, first miner casualty caused by state troopers quartered here. Burial of Gyenes gave residents of Taylorville and the surrounding community their first opportunity to express publicly their grievance over the loss of certain civil liberties that for generations, in American communities, have besn termed “inalienable rights.” Many weeks have passed since Christian county citizens have been allowed to gather, for right of assembly has been forfeited. Should more than three halt for a few minutes on Taylorville streets, they are told to “move along” by civilian youths in uniform, carrying fixed bayonets on army rifles, members of one of seven companies of the Illinois national guard quartered here. Not Under Martial Law Although it may seem so, both to the casual visitpr and thp longsuffering citizen, Taylorville and Christian county are not under martial law. No one is more emphatic on that point than Colonel Robert W. Davis in command of the 450 troopers. “There is no martial law about this,” Colonel Davis said Sunday. “We are juat down here helping the sheriff.” The sheriff, he explained, gave orders to keep the streets cleared and any group congregating for more than five minutes and consisting of more than three constituted a mob in the colonel’s interpretation of the sheriff s orders. Next to the soldiers, Sheriff C. H. Weinike, by w'hose orders they are here, is the most unpopular -man in the county. He is not a candidate for re-election. Feel Poverty Pinch Those who are candidates are. by and large, openly declaring against the presence of the troops and some are trying to outdo others in their avowals of support for the Progressive Miners of America. This is the new union group w-hich has broken aw’ay from the United Mine Workers of America, following the signing of a reduced Illinois wage scale of $5 a day. The former wage w'as $6.10, but that w’age agreement terminated last April. Many miners have not worked since that time, and their families already are feeling the pinch that comes with colder weather and its accompanying need for better food and warmer clothing. The Progressive union's quarrel with the large Peabody Coal Corporation forms the basis of the local strife and finally gave excuse, following a small street fight, for the presence of troops in increased numbers. Assail Working Conditions Peabody, long labeled an Instill subsidiary, desires to operate its four large mines in this vicinity. It has agreed to the $5 scale with the United Mine Workers, and locals approved it, three to one, they claim. But the progressives contend that they were "sold out” by the oldtime union officials, and that while the $5 scale is satisfactory, working conditions at the Peabody mines are not. Picketing developed which finally resulted in the shooting of Gyenes by a beardless soldier boy, who ran away. Gyenes died from shock and los of blood. Because of the soldiers, they took his corpse to the public square in the neighboring village of Pawmee, in Sangamon county, which is not suffering from military occupation, for the funeral services. But he w’as brought for burial to Oakhill cemetery here, where lies George Franklin Bilyeau, shot Oct. 1 12. 1898. in the miners' struggle which later brought about the eighthour day in the industry. 1,500 Cars at Funeral The miners have erected a towering monument, to Bilyeau, and talk of similar action for Gyenes is already abroad. Fifteen hundred cars were at the funeral services and the grave. Many were miners and their families, but others were citizens bowed in sorrow with the age-old complaint of troops quartered upon an unwilling citizenry. It was their first chance at mass protest, without being lodged without trial in the county jail. Troops ceased their patrol during ■ the funeral, but began again as soon as taps w’ere sounded for the victim. Fear Strike Leader SJain j Rii I mit id Err** TAYLORVILLE, 111..

\\T E feel that the nation will be served better T * if the Hoover administration is not returned—that it has been and is an administration of failure. Despite the effectively critical and enlightening campaign of Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate, who promises to poll an extraordinary vote, the defeat of Hoover must mean the election of Roosevelt. Whether a Roosevelt administration can meet the challenge of the national crisis we do not know. We merely know that he and his party offer a fresh start and, we believe, a better chance. Since Roosevelt has yet to prove himself a great leader, since the men in his party with whom he must work in congress have yet to demonstrate outstanding leadership, we can not underwrite a Roosevelt administration in advance. But we can say that Roosevelt’s expressions of political philosophy are expressions of the philosophy in which we believe. We quote him: “There are two theories of prosperity and of well-being; first, the theory that if we make the rich richer, somehow they will let a part of their prosperity trickle through to the rest of us. “Second, the theory that if we make the av-

Spell Broken? Illinois’ Sleeping Beauty Slowly Awakening After 8 Months.

By United Press OAK PARK, 111., Oct. 17. Slowly but surely, physicians said today, Patricia Maguire, 27-year-old “sleeping beauty,” is awakening from the strange slumber that has held her in dreamland for eight months. The petite, blond victim of sleeping sickness is emerging from what her physicians believe is the longest nap in medical history.

steady breathing indicated she w’as living. Physicians fed her liquids through tubes. As Miss Maguire showed remarkable resistance, they began to have hope of saving her life and ultimately breaking the coma. Within the last few days have come signs of reviving life. All summer the treatment has been intensified. The sleeping patient had been fed every two hours. She w’as given long sun baths during the w’arm weather. Her position was changed frequently. Now for the first time the girl is able to turn over in bed. With effort she is able to raise herself to a sitting position. , When her mother, ..who has watched at the bedside during the long w’eeks of apparently endless slumber, talks to her daughter, the girl makes an effort, unsuccessful as yet, to reply.

erage of mankind comfortable and §ecure, this prosperity will rise upward through the ranks.” Those words of Roosevelt, as the advocate of the second theory, are the words of a liberal. We only can trust that his deeds, should he become President, will live up to his words. This nation has had its fill of that other noble experiment of prosperity by percolation. As liberals, we have supported Roosevelt, in New York as Governor and as presidential candidate, whenever he was on the liberal side. We shall continue that policy during the campaign and if he enters the White House, it is our hope that he and his party will merit such support, increasingly. Fortunately, for the country, both Roosevelt and his party have developed in constructive liberalism recently. At the Chicago convention, the divided and partly reactionary Democratic party united on the shortest, clearest, and most progressive platform ever pledged by either major party. Since then, Roosevelt, by actions and words, has overcome much of the evasive tendency which marred his earlier record. After initial delay, he handled the Walker-Tammany menace to clean government with courage and wisdom. He has been forthright on prohibition repeal

STALIN PUSHES FIGHT ON FOES Campaign Reaches to High Leaders in Soviet. By United Press MOSCOW. Oct. 17.—The Soviet campaign to remove leaders, who oppose Josef Stalin, was understood today to have reached Nicholas Bukharin, former secretary of the Communist International, who was , reported placed under guard. It was understood that exile to distant province was the best that could be hoped for by Gregory Zinoviev, former head of the Communist International, and twentyone other prominent members expelled from the party last week. Bukharin's detention w r as not confirmed officially, but whispering galleries, working overtime, placed him high on the list of those out of official favor. Bukharin was removed from the central committee and the politbureau in 1930, but later was reelected to the committee. He was the recognized leader of the “right wing” opposition. It appeared that Bukharin had been suspected of contacting insurgents whose program in many respects resembled the right opposition of 1929, headed by Bukharin, ex-premier Alexei Rykov, and Michael Tomsky, ex-head of the Soviet trade union council. Suspicion naturally fell on the “reformed” followers of Leon I Trotsky and members of the oppoI sition whose “conversion” to Stalinism was believed little more than 1 skin deep. Many “reformed” leadj ers have been ousted from the party | or demoted. TEN CENTS AN HOUR PAY STIRS JUDGE’S IRE , Flays System as “Disgraceful;” I Frees Laborer in Support Case.

Juvenile Judge John F. 1 Geckler today suspended a $1 fine and thirty-day jail sentence against a laborer acused of failing to support a divorced wife and a child. The laborer, Delmus Hill, 1120 Central avenue, who said he works for a garage in the 1100 block, North Illinois street, testified he earns only $6 a week, working ten hours daily, and that he is unable, to pay $2 a week as ordered by the court. "It is impossible for a man to support a wife and child on such a wage," Geckler declared. SAILORS HELD FOR QUIZ IN $24,000 MAIL THEFT Deny Knowledge of Postoffice Robbery at Terre Haute.

and \ olstead modification. His campaign speeches show that he has an intelligent approach to such difficult problems as tariff, taxation, railroads, public utilities, and power. His basic philosophy of government, as outlined at San Fiancisco, is that of the progressive committed to a more equitable and efficient distribution of wealth, thereby to provide a mass market for mass production. There remain many important issues on which Roosevelt is not committed or not clear—the bonus, civil liberties, debts, disarmament, foreign policy, and others. There remains also the mediocre character of most of the Democratic leaders in congress, which is the chief handicap to a successful Democratic administration. Therefore, we, as an independent newspaper, are in the same position today as that of the independent citizen. We have no desire to become mere bandwagon riders. We have no desire to go partisan and join in a political ballyhoo. We.can do better than that. We can and will continue to challenge Roosevelt and his party if they fail to live up to their pledges of liberal leadership, but we will continue to fight for them when they are fighting for the political philosophy in which we believe, and to which they have committed themselves.

Do Your Bit Second Leisure Hour Club to Be Formed; Help Is Welcomed.

DELUGED by letters and phone calls as to how Leisure Hour Clubs could be formed and with volunteers offering entertainment services, the perfecting of a costless “w’heel” of entertainment for Indianapolis whirled today.

MACHINE HELD JOBS ‘ROBBER’ Green Says Millions Are Permanently 'Supplanted. Bti I nitrd Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor said today that half the unemployed persons in the country had lost their jobs to machines, and that industry, in order to re-employ them, must reduce labor hours for all workers. He believes industrial management must become reconciled to a philosophy that money-making is but a secondary principle of industry, and that the first is

aB

public welfare. Industry must accept that p h ilosop hy, Green said, if the capitalistic system of private ownership and initiative is to survive. He estimated the jobless to number 11.500,000 and said that of these 5.750,000 persons have been more or less permanently

supplanted by machines. “A distressing feature of the present situation.” Green added, “is that no new industry is in sight now to do for the working man what the automobile and radio industries did after the post-war deflation of ten years ago.” He said the federation proposed the five-day w’eek and the six-hour day as the first step tow’ard remedying present conditions. “As we see it,” he said “the solution of the problem of mechanistic displacement lies wholly and absolutely in the adjustment of working time by industrial management. and the payment of high w’ages. In general there should be no roduction in the worker’s income. His standard of living could not withstand a reduction.” PURDUE WOMEN BEGIN SELF-GOVERNING PLAN University Rules to Be Made Hereafter by College Girls, Themselves.
