—“THIS IS THE YEAR”—
SOME TIME AGO the News was declafing that the fight in Indiana
was Wood against the field. Now it’s between Wood and Johnsop. Be
fore the primaries it will be between Johnson and Lowden.
THOSE DETECTIVES who arrested two men for taking the winnings
of a craps game from another had better be careful. They may have to
arrest someone for shooting craps if they go too far.
IT NOW APPEARS that in spite of the “can’t be done” attitude of
Director George Hitt the school teachers are to receive their well-earned
bonus.
IT IS MORE or less difficult, even for Mayor Jewett, to explain how
an article published on Friday could contribute toward producing an
indignation meeting on the Thursday preceding, but the mayor is a very
nifty “explainer.”
SURE, MR. LEMAUX, the public has an unlimited amount of patience
for anything connected with the street car company. Otherwise the pub
lic would have protested long ago against the political manipulations that
have resulted in the present service.
Up to Goodrich Now
The brute who assaulted and murdered a 14-year-old girl in this city
a week ago is now under sentence to death and has been taken ,to state’s
prison to await execution.
Only one thing can prevent him from giving up his life as a pro-'
tection to society.
That one thing is a possible parole, commutation or reprieve from the
hand of Gov. James P. Goodrich.
We do not know that Gov. Goodrich contemplates any interference
with the judgment of the court in this case.
But we do know:
1. That Goodrich has pardoned or paroled more convicts than any two
governors we ever had.
2. That Gov. Goodrich could see no impropriety in touring the state
driven by a chauffeur who was sentenced to Michigan City for life for
murder and was paroled for the purpose of acting as a chauffeur for the
governor.
3. That Goodrich has released from the penal institutions men who
have returned to prey upon society without restraint and who have so
preyed upon society that it was necessary to put them under restraint
again.
As we said several days ago we have, as yet, no assurances that this
young negro, whose very breath is a menace to any community, will not,
sooner or later, walk the streets of Indianapolis a free man.
Will Gov. Goodrich assure the public that he will not exercise his
pardoning power in this case as he has in behalf of so many other crim
inals?
Political Lounge Lizards
The lounge lizard of the common or parlor variety is an innocuous ob
ject which has no stinger and can do no particular harm.'" He is :i pet,
much pampered by persons of little force and non-exerted intellect.
But the lounge lizard of politics i6 a menace to society, who oy the
very nature of his life not infrequently interferes with those members of
Bociety who do think and whose collective thinking is essential to a proper
conduct of the government.
The political lounge lizard lays back in an easy posture and watches
those about him shape issues, fight for principles and create demand for
candidates who may be elected. Then he shakes off his cushions, pieens
his worthless skin and ofTers himself up to his party as an object of great
respectability for whom the party should scurry to the polls. And there
by he sometimes gets in the way of men who deserve nominations and
prevents men of intellect and ambition and ability from getting on tickets
and making real fights for principles.
We have had some lounge lizards in Indianapolis politics. There were
a great many in the democratic ranks prior to the closing of the entries for
the primaries. They used to gather in a steam-heated, secluded corner
and between admiration for their silk socks and manicured hands they
paused long enough to tell how the democratic party ought to be run.
The lounge lizards scattered when the democrats started to name a
real county ticket and men got into the lists without their consent or con
sultation.
Since then they have been running around shaking their worthless
heads and predicting that “it is no use.”
They are getting fewer every day, but they are becoming more easily
recognized by the distinctiveness of the noise they make.
Whenever you meet a democrat who tries to tell you that Marlon
county and the state of Indiana will not go democratic next November
because of the national election, put him down as a lounge lizard.
If he were not a lounge lizard he would be telling you that the demo
cratic record of the last two administrations is the finest piece of con
structive government that this country has ever known and that on that
record the party will win the national as well as the state and county
election In spite of all the head-wagging that the whole collective specie
of lounge lizards can do.
When you hear a campaign lie nail it. When you hear a bit of de
featist propaganda squelch it.
Don’t be a lounge lizard. Bea democrat.
‘She Is Worth It 9
Many of us well-intentioned but somewhat careless men have good
wives and we don’t appreciate them.
Some of, us have good mother-in-laws, too, and yet we go to a show and
laugh long and loudly when the comedian springs ancient mother-in-law
jokes.
We take the good things in life too much for granted.
Sometimes it takes an event such as our wife going on the operating
table or our mother-in-law catching pneumonia to jerk us to our true
perspective.
In Chicago the other day a doctor presented a bill to a hotel manager
for sl4 for an operation which had saved the life of the hotel man’s wife.
The hotel manager looked at the bill for a moment, then passed it back.
Getting his checkbook he w-rote a check for $14,000 and gave it to the
doctor.
“She is worth it,” he said simply—almost reverently.
And she was.
Any good wife is worth that much—and when it seems as if we are
toeing her, a thousand times more!
‘Pussyfoot’s’ Guess
If. as William E. (“Pussyfoot”) Johnson says, in reporting back in
America on 2,000 prohibition meetings held abroad, John Barfcycorn will
stalk for ten more years in Great Britain, it will be a severely pruned,
trailed and railed-in Barleycorn.
Nowhere else has booze been more abused.
The revolt of conscience and business sense has already begun to
• assert itself and will prove irresistible.
England will soon see the wonderful benefits America will derive from
a sober population. Add industry to our sobriety and our possibilities
are unlimited.
It may not take the British, who are a sensible people, ten years to
perceive the handicap booze places on any nation. '
Who Would Have Thought It?
The Lafayette Journal-Courier, whose ownership rather jty-ecludes the
belief that it is actuated by political motives, says of the Indianapolis News:
“Apparently the News has been so active in the vicinity of the Wood
pile that it has aceummulated an assortment of splinters that are now
causing it a great deal of uneasiness, not to say anguish and perturbation
cf spirit. The voters sometimes play queer pranks on political ax grinders.”
