LIFT SUPERINTENDENT OUT OF POLITICS BY AMENDMENT, IS URGE Public school teachers of Richmond and Wayne county have expressed themselves in favor of the proposed amendment to the state constitution providing for the appointment of a state school superintendent. At pres

ent the office Is elective. When questioned, local school heads have indicated that they believed the amendment would greatly help to place the position out of reach of politicians, especially if the state board of education were to do the appointing. How the appointment la to be made is to be determined by the state legislature. The proposed amendment Is to be voted upon Tuesday, when the citizens ballot on the 13 proposed state amendment's are submitted. In the interest of effecting the change of making the huperintendent's office an appointtive one, the following quotations from eminent school men has been submitted by a -local school official.

Bryan's Stand. President William Lowe Bryan, of Indiana university, for many years an ex-officio member of the state board of education writes as follows: "I believe that it would be best to have the state superintendent of public instruction appointed. It is my judgment that we would secure from term to term better men in this way. We should not secure better than the best we have had under the old plan, but we should certainly miss getting the

worst." I Dr. Robert J. Aley, newly elected president of Butler college, and a j

instruction of Indiana, writes as follows: "My experience in New England ha3 led me to appreciate more than before the advantages of having a superintendent of public instruction appointed rather than elected by a popular vote. The appointment plan insures continuity and in general makes it possible to interest professional aducators in the job more than they are interested under the political election plan. I sincerely hope that the people of Indiana may ratify the constitutional amendment." Greathouse Approves. Charles A. Greathouse, who served conspicuously as state superintendent during three consecutive terms: "There is no doubt in my mind that

a change in the manner of selecting the state superintendent of public instruction is important if Indiana is to hold a front rank position among the

several states of the Union in education. "Under the present system the candidate is selected by a political convention without regard to his special fitness for the office and for a period of two years. "The school system of the state should be divorced from politics. The selection of the head of our school system should be by appointment on the basis of fitness and qualifications rather than by the machinery of a political party. I am heartily in favor of the amendment."

BOOZE RUNNERS GAR,

STALLED BY GRAVEL, TAKEN BY OFFICERS Fresh gravel on the approach to the covered bridge over the C. & O. railroad four miles south of Richmond proved the undoing of a heavily

laden "booze runner" late Saturday

evening. A large touring car skidded in the fresh gravel, hit the bridge, and stalled. Sheriff Carl Wadman was notified of the accident and went to the scene accompanied by Chief Wenger and Sergeant Wierhake. One of the largest liquor hauls made bv local officials since the adoption of the eighteenth amendment resulted. Ten case3 of pint bottles "bottled in bond" whisky were found in the back end of the machine. Guard Arrested, Released. Isadora Koby, 19 years old, of Indianapolis, who was guarding the machine when the officers arrived, was arrested and lodge in the county jail. He was released under $700 bond Monday morning. Koby denied that he was accompanied by any one. Officers have information which leads them to believe that there was another man with Koby. Koby stated that this was his first trip of "booze running." He stated that he had bought the liquor in Ham

ilton, O., and was taking it to Indianapolis. When the officers first arrived at the bridge where the auto was stalled, Koby denied any knowledge of the ownership of the car. He said that he had got into the car at Boston and was on his way to Knightstown, and that the owner and driver of the car had gone to Richmond for help. This story ha later denied and con

fessed that he was the driver of the car, and stated that he was unaccom

panied. Sheriff Wadman states that

he believes Koby to be a member of a

liquor ring operating out of Indianapolis. - He will investigate the case

I thoroughly.
