- THOMAS L. SULLIVAN: generations, the name Sullivan has been in-
F tertwined with the tradition of Indianapolis, ||
There was a feeling of genuine sadness in the parting, therefore, when his many friends heard of the death last night of Thomas" L. Sullivan, former . Mayor “and father of Reginald H. Sullivan, who ‘became Mayor of Indianapolis 40 yedrs after his father went into the office in 1890, * With veneration for his great age, and with appreciation of his profound usefulness to the community, friends and associates today recalled the part this lovable old gentleman played in the af- - fairs of the city. Thomas L. Sullivan was proud of the family tradition. His grandfather, Judge Jeremiah Sullivan, as a state Legislator; suggested the name Indianapolis for the new capital when it’ was moved here from Corydon. His grandfather, Oliver H. Smith, was a pioneer United States Senator from Indiana. » ” ” OS ox oa us har, wis the career of his son, Reginald, and while the father remained strictly sway from City Hall during the son’s five-year incumbency, he was his son’s closest adviser. And the
gon, in turn, was justly proud of his father’s reerd.
a Mayor. > Born 80 years ago in the family home at the _ southeast corner of Ohio-st and Capitol-av, Thomas "1. Sullivan lived for the last 54 years at 503 N. Cap-itol-av, a. house that has long been a downtown landmark. Despite his age, he was an aviation enthusiast and maintained an active interest in outdoor sports, going on long fishing jaunts every summer in the Minnesota woods, oA To older generations, he was a grand old man, | with the respect and devotion of his community. To | children, he was one of the city’s most kindly and lovable characters. He will live long in the memory of his fellow-men.

~~ SECURITY = ey HE task to which President Roosevelt set him-
self on the night of June 27 at Philadelphia is to solve the most difficult dilemma ever faced by
_ our civilization. This is to achieve a measure of |'
economic security for the people without relinquishing those historic civil liberties bought with the dear blood and bones of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors. _ After three years in the White House he can boast of having won a slight measure of economic. security for America’s masses. He has kept his pledge to let no one starve, launched an impertect system of old-age and unemployment insurance, set up certain safeguards over the people’s savings and
investments, ‘started important projects in land-
use planning and conservation. So far, he has carried forward these measures without relinquishing any of the priceless personal liberties guaranteed by the Bill of -Rights. The situ- " ation in that direction is accurately summarized in _ & report by the American Civil Liberties Union on the work of the Seventy-fourth Congress’ second sesgion. It was, says the Union, “one of the most helpful to the cause of civil rights in recent years.” It “marked. by the defeat of every single gag bill.” went the Kramer “sedition” and McCormack ilitary disaffection” measures, the Dobbins bill to en-postal censorship powers, a rash of proto make harsher our already stringent detion law. Mr, Hoover and the Liberty League to the contrary, the Roosevelt Administration has not robbed the people of their personal liberties. Both ‘major platforms pledge their parties to hold sacred the rights of free speech, press, assembly, radio and religion. The Democrats can add that their two New Deal Congresses have acted as well as prom-
- formula. Ce
If there is anything whatsoever in the recently expressed idea of Raymond Moley, that the nation ‘pants for calm, that the people are fed up with strife and billingsgate, Lee is the beneficiary. For Lee is an elocutionist. As such he gathers no hatreds as he rolls along. Elocution is his vocation; politics his avocation. Essentially, he is a speaker of pieces. Bringing to the hustings his talents of recitation he quickly won a seat in the House. He has now applied the same to the higher purpose, with the same successful results. - He operates on fhe theory that in a political Sams paign the populace prefers Hamlet to Hamilton and . "Macbeth to Michelsen. And the interesting thing is that when he cits loose with a classic, like, for example, “Spartacus to the Gladiators” a fairly large percentage of his constituency always believes that he, Josh, wrote it, giving him credit not only for delivery but for authorship. So, while his opponents hit and slash and call names and flay each other in the crass and unimaginative language of modern politics, Josh from his rarefied rostrum delivers those same old orations that he learned back in the days when his supreme ambition was to conduct the department of : public speaking in Oklahoma University. And they always seem to go over. They never appear to grow threadbare, the spirit of their delivery is never weak. The United States Senate, a body in which there
is no limit as to length of speech, may as well start :
right now getting itself set for such a feast of erudition and flow of soul, come next session, as never before experienced in the chamber.
CONVENTION CITY NDIANAPOLIS during 1936 will be host to miore . than 100,000 convention visitors and nearly 300 conventions, more than one-third of ‘them national or regional conferences. : Every week the importance of Indianapolis as a convention city is impressed upon us. More than 150 dealers, shippers, wholesalers and producers attended" the National Hay Association convention this week and discussed the drought and what to do about it. The Indiana branch of the National League of District Postmasters opens its annual sessions today. During the last six months, 60,565 members of 168 organizations met in Indianapolis. The convention bureau and other organizations
: deserve much credit for advertising Indianapolis as a great convention city, an important manufacturing center and as an excellent place to live.

.I notice a plan to plant trees along ite River now is being for-, mulated. It seems funny to me, for only last year PWA spent several months cutting trees along White River and grubbing out the brush. They ruined:
-quite a stretch of river bank from
College-av to Illinois-st. : This. used to be a wonderful stretch: for bass fishing, but since: the trees ‘and brush along the shore: have been out the fishing has fallen off. Some people might ask what right the fisherman has‘to protest this work. Perhaps it is not realized: that the fishermen pay some three-quarters, of ‘a million. dollars each year: for, the privilege of fishing gnd I ‘believe that we have a right fo ask: for better care of the good: fishing streams that:are left in Indiana.’ ‘I ‘think that some of this: relief labor, granted a necessity, could be better used building sewage disposal: plants and connecting the sewers that pollute White River and Fall Creek to the disposal plant we have. It is a shame the way Indiana
‘| streams are ruined by cities and
private concerns, rather than build disposal plants. We have a state jaw that provides a legal restriction
