MR. SPRINGER MISSES THE POINT (Indianapolis Star, June 8th.) . Although the State Alcoholic Beverage Commission is empowered and authorized to administer the beer and liquor laws of Indiana, Clark Springer, Republican State Chairman, called a private meeting of brewery executives this week and told the brewers to get out of politics. He told them the Republican party didn't want their money and that they "had better not give any to the Democrats either." . Well, that was a pious and wholesome thing to do. It would be just fine and dandy if Mr. Springer had not missed or evaded completely the poi.it of the beer racket fight. Mr. Springer has been patronage boss of the state administration since the day the Gates administration came into power. Nobody knows better than Mr. Springer that the beer racket was extended, strengthened "and has flourished under the

Republican set-up that has made "county chairmen the beerl czars in each county.The fight against, the beer racket has been directed at the county chairmen and their personally I appointed beer distributors who have made a financial field day out of the exclusive a'ight to distribute beer. The beer distributers were the boys who largely dictated the slate of delegates to the state convention. Remember the call to arms sent out by the Beer Distributors Association urging them to get themselves and their friends named as delegates to the state convention? The contributions and collections have cdmH'ronrthe hewers' but from the taverns and liquor dealers who were hopelessly dependent on the favor of the county chairmen and the beer distributors. There is where the racket operates. There is where the petty graft and political manipulation originates. Nobody knows this better than Chairman Springer. The brewers and distillers are just as sick of the racket as is, the public generally but they are helpless as long as the power of the State oi Indiana which grants. or withholds licenses is held over their heads. So when Chairman Springer calls in the brewers and reads the riot act to them he is not fooling anybody except himself. We would like to call Mr. Springer's attention to the platform statements and pledges which his own party adopted amid much evangelical fervor in 1936, in 1938 and in 1940: ' The 1936 Republican platform said: -"We demand the repeal of the liquor regulation act and denounce the flagrant and scandalous misuse of official power in its administration and enforcement." The 1938 Republican platform said "We condemn the

- hypocrisy, the profiteering and the invisible government

now existing m tne oeer ana nquor tramc m tms stale, ine liquor and beer laws have robbed the taxpayer in order to enrich a favored few politicians and to build up a corrupt

v..-,i;-.i , i, ; n, i... .t i .. t j

puiiuwu mawuue. xueoe auuacs must ue cuntxie. The. 1940 Republican platform said: "We reaffirm ' our

condemnation of the hypocrisy, the profiteering and 'the

invisible government now existing in the beer and liquor traffic in this state." If that was good Republican gospel in 1936, 1938 and 1940 why isn't it even better gospel now when the Republican party is being debauched by a beer racket of its own making? The Star supported the Republican platform on beer and liquor in 1936, 1938 and 1940. Now it is abused as a "scandal mcngeiing sheet" by the very men who wrote the

platform which The Star supported then and wants to

support now. The Republican party must meet this issue frankly, ; honestly and with the courage to admit that the present system is rotten and won't work. Any effort to pass the buck

is an absurd exhibition of political chicanery. The people of Indiana are not going to be fooled on this beer racket business. They have their eyes open and they will be watching to see what the Republicans do in their state convention next Thursday.

WILL H. HAYS URGES AMERICANS BECOME POLITICIANS

(Ed. Note: Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1918 to 1921 and Postmaster General 1921-22, was. born in Sullivan a product of the great Midwestern section of thic country long noted for nurturing the best politicians ever 1o appear on the national scene.

of America.) BY WILL H. HAYS .NEW YORK Wanted! Millions and millions of politicians! This message ought to be written across the skies of America so that no citizen and no political leader could miss it. Only if the message is heeded only if vast numbers of men and women now indifferent to politics become politically conscious and active will self-government, for which we have fought, be translated into living reality. Our nation's most urgent need in this period of postwar tensions is for the average citizen vo shoulder the responsibilities of

' freedom. This he can do only by I participating in the direct' control I of the government and its poicies. Ih practical terms it means that he should join a political party, take a hand in selecting candidate for office and make himself heard in the formation of party programs. In a more primitive epoch, politics seemed a specialized department of national life, to be administered by specialists. Today, with government playing in ever larger role in our complex rociety, politics is as wide as life itself. There is no longer any

excuse for Americans to abstain from the political process. They no lougpr hav; an alibi for complaining if government and its personnel aie not to their diking. If they do not participate in politic;., tbey have no just complaint to make whatever happens. . Cn the fighting fronts and home fronts alike, the American people have just paid a staggering price to preserve the privilege of governing themselves. They paid ' it gladly. Yet now i that victory is won, they seam

reluctant to use that dearly bought privilege to the full.

' j This paradox of fervid patrio- : tism in war and frigid neglect of the the nation's . business in peace

is a challenge to the good sense

FROM SETTING IIP NIGHTS, LOSING SLEEf

Due 1o insufficient KlfllJgV ercrefion of the IllUllUl

Folks that fee! old before their tim from loss of sleep, frequent getting up nights, should know how wonderfully Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root medicine relieves such distress when due to faulty kidney excretion. For three generations Swamp Root has been the standby in millions of homes when loss of sleep causes folks to feel so nervous, run-down and worn out. Many think there is nothing like the natural herbs, roots and barks combined in Swamp Root, for stimulating kidneys' eliminating function. TRY it! Try to get feeling better with a bottle of Swamp Root from the drug sU ,i -r- 1 to the political leaders in control of our local, state and national party organizations. . Political parties are not the private property of a handful of professional politicians. Under our system of government, parties are the most vital instruments of year-round democracy. They should be administered like government itself by and for the people. They should be sensitive to the freely expressed will of the entire population. Until this truth more generally is recognized and acted upon, we shall have the forms but not the substance of self-government. The fact a large part of our citizen body fails to vote on election day is notorious. More alarming is the fact that only a tiny fraction of our citizens participates in the day-to-day party work and the primary elections which, more than the annual balloting itself, shape the character of government. This abstention, so vast and persistent, is a boycott of deTt must be called off.

Millions of returned service men j and women, tens of millions of civilian lighters, should acknow- j ledge their duty and insist on their right to join a political I party and make that party's- affairs their business. These patriots do not have to go to Washington, as a group did awhile ago, to ask how they can ! continue actively to serve their, country. All they need to do is to locate the precinct or district leader in their voting precinct and ask to help .or declare themselves ip. - . " ' They can get .or remire their, chance to serve their country they can "get into politics" very quickly and by attention to the processes of practical politics they are taking the one best way to practice patriotism in peacetime. If they want to follow, they will have the opportunity; if they want to lead, they will make their opportunity. If they ; have heard conditions blamed: on "political bosses" of political crouDS and they want to effect ,

a change, this is the way to do it. If they are in earnest, they will quickly make themselves felt and their progress in influence and usefulness will be measured by the sincerity and effectiveness

soldier, in uniforms or out of it, is enabled to play a responsible part in politics 365 days a year. Tens of millions of Americans who never had the time, the interest of the courage to make the nation's business their business found all these things under pressure of the war danger. Their record in a thousand ways is a high mark of unselfishness, national service. Vith the enemy's defeat, unfortunately, too many of them have reverted to old habits of political laziness ind irresponsibility-. This amounts to a retreat from patriotism. It must and can be halted. Politics must rense to be Iho private concern of a relative few. It must become the yeai'round responsibility of all Americans. Active participation in politics, through party organizations, is the road to political self-determination.

"Oh now, Dan" Daisy said. "I lo!d you I had a date." IT was dark when Dan rang. the bell. The taxi pulling away through the rain behind him was the only traffic. .The buzzer sounded and then the stairs creaked under Dan's big feet as he went up. Daisy was standing in tJie doorway of her- apartment. "Oh now, Dan," she said. "I told you I had a date." She was tall and had a lot of dark red hair pulled up on top of her head. Her full mouth was set and angry. - He kissed her and walked in. "I can't stay, pet just about got time for a drink. And I can't make it next Saturday, either. I've got to go to Washington. I'm" Daisy said, "That's-the third time you've broken it. What are you going to be a dollar-a-year man?" "Do- you want to know about it or not?" Dan asked. ., Daisy looked back at him levelly. "I don't care."

He said, "Are we going through this again?" Dan blinked at her. "You're mad, all right. Look, we can see each other any time " "I don't know about that," Daisy said. She -stopped. The rest of it was right there to "be said, "but for the space of two breaths she looked at him instead. She was judging him and he was waiting. He was a big man, a man it was not easy to fight even when you had been in love with each other for these years and you knew all the holes in his armor. - Dan O'Mara.-Daniel Harrington O'Mara, attorney at law. They had fallen in love not long after Daisy Km yon had come to New York from the Minnesota farm and begun her art career. Now she was 32. He was in his late forties. She had never seen Dan's wife Or his two 'teen-age daughters.

"Go right up," Dan said. "I'll send your cab back." Daisy closed her eyes and said, "I think we. won't See each other any more. Dan. I think I'm through." He held her by the shoulders. "Are we going through all this again?" She was shaking with rage but it was no-good. She couldn't beat him down. He kept talking and at last she cried and then she was laughing. He kissed her and said, "All right, darling, yon will, I. suppose. Maybe we'll be through sometime next year or next week but not right now." ' ' "No," she said. "Not right now," 1 ; : ' It was still pouring out whn Dan went down the stairs. A young man was pushing Dairy's bell.-There was fi taxi at the curb. "Go right up," said Dan pushing past.'
