Solving the Present City Problem The decision of council to defer its inquiry into the actions and conduct of Mayor Zimmerman until the citizen's committee makes a report was wise and diplomatic This committee, as its spokesman said last night, holds no brief for Mayor Zimmerman, but is intent upon solving a municipal problem that has become acute. Hence, an impartial and constructive report may be expected. The investigation of the physical condition of Mayor Zimmerman by a committee of citizens and an interview with that official regarding his attitude toward the disturbed municipal government will go a far way in quieting the troubled waters.

The co-operative effort of this committee should not be construed by citizens to mean that the necessity of a change in the municipal government of Indiana cities ha3 been removed. Conditions here had attained what citizens believed was a critical stage and the committee's efforts will be directed toward making the best of a situation until the state legislature may enact legislation at it3 next session giving Indiana cities home rule. One of the noticeable features of last night's meeting was the large attendance of citizens, suggesting that if normally meetings were attended by as many citizens some legislation would be speeded up. City Attorney Robbins was not far from

lade oi interest in tne proceedings oi tne councu and board of works, our willingness "to let the city run itself" may account for the slipshod manner in which our city's business is sometimes conducted. If some of us took a greater personal interest in public affairs and assumed the personal responsibility we owe to our community, our city would be infinitely better off.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

v I THE POLICEMAN There 1b no finer public servant than the policeman. Night and day he is on the Job. He is our servant but a tervant by choice! One word expresses the average policeman fearlessness. But there is another word which ought to be wrapped around this one to make it complete. It Is faithfulness. Whether it rains or shines, it Is all the same to the policeman. He is not a deserter. You will see him at his post, or on his beat. A few years ago a policeman in a large city went wrong, and there were pages of print about the case from one end of the country to the other. He paid the extreme penalty for his errors. But every day all over the country, other policemen are paying for their faithfulness and honor with their lives lost while on duty. It is to such that I would pay a pimple tribute for they are too ?oon forgotten as examples of the heroic in our everyday, busy business lives. In ono of the largest cities of America there used to be a. statue erected to a group of brave policemen who lost their lives battling for the public good. But it was removed from the busy street where it should have stayed forever to some less valuable spot. Not long ago I read a short item about a New York policeman who fell, mortally wounded, defending the honor of his chosen calling. I wish that he might have had a statue of bronze placed at the spot where he fell. The policeman is the embodiment of the highest results of democracy for he sees that the law is given its just respect. I like to see citizens friendly to the policemen. Their lot is hard and long. They sacrifice much to serve As a rule they are just and fair And they willingly give all that they have when danger threatens Let us give three cheers in our hearts for the policeman no matter where he stands.

mayor was a very sick man, that he did not believe in "Jumping on a man when he waa down," and declared that "the mayor certainly has been in tough luck." The latter remark caused the audience to roar with laughter. H. R.

I think the essential difference between' tho two great party platforms is the same difference that exists be tween eye glasses and nose glasses. I don't think Carpentier has any more chance of whipping Dempsey than Alexander Berkman has of being elected president of the United States on a third ticket. I dislike a man who owes me money and keeps reminding me of tho fact, without paying it. I would rather forget. I wouldn't marry a woman with bobbed hair.

we are not, but I think we measure up to the general average of intelligence and I don't believe the board members rate any higher. We have a city attorney who has, every time there has been a dispute between the board and council,. lined up with the board." Mr. Ford then cited several Instances to prove that the board had acted unwisely on important questions and that the council, in rejecting them, had been instrumental in saving the city considerable monsy. He said he thought the board should give council credit for attempting to transact the affairs of the city in an economical manner, but instead of doing so, he said, the board had attacked and vilified council.
