Many Democrats and Republicans, convinced that the time has come to administer a sound thrashing to Tammany, could not enthuse over the prospect of LaGuardia's election.

And so it isn't long until you haven't either, and are charging to right and to left. You spent more for your clothes than you intended.

Al Smith is showing no anxiety to help out the organization. All told, Tammany seems to be in such complete disrepute, both at home and abroad, that it is about to get what it has deserved for a long time. The general impression is it would be a victory for decency to have any one in the race defeat O'Brien, even LaGuardia. of murder acted singly in the perpetration of their crimes. Once behind the bars, they usually become tractable enough and create little uneasiness on the part of the prison authorities.

Constant vigilance is necessary, howevt to outwit the gangsters whose confederates are seeking to provide means of escape. Life imprisonment is the maximum penalty permitted under the Oklahoma law for kidnaping. That term was imposed on the notorious Harvey Bailey and Albert Bates for the $200,000 kidnaping of Charles F. Urschel, millionaire oil man. Bailey had led eleven convicts in a spectacular break from the Kansas penitentiary last May and Bates was an escaped Michigan convict.

Naturally this pair will be continually watching for an opportunity to regain their freedom. If the desperate "Machine Gun" Kelly, on trial this week for his part in the Urschel kidnaping, is sentenced to life imprisonment, one of the nation's worst criminals will be added to the worries of the Federal authorities. A report from Leavenworth intimated that Bailey and Bates might be transferred either to Atlanta or to the McNeill island (Washington) penitentiary. Government officials declined to comment on the report. Other countries have special prisons where the most desperate criminals are sent.

Not only Is NEW DEAL'S LEGAL TEST. CONVENING of the Supreme court of the United States for the October term is causing considerable discussion over the possibility of suits to determine the constitutionality of the recovery act and the agricultural adjustment legislation. If a test case is submitted to the highest tribunal, the session may be as important and epoch-making as notable periods in the nation's history associated with Justices Marshall and Taney. The issue now is purely in the realm of conjecture, since there have been no intimations of inviting a judicial decision on eco dark meat for you, ripe or green olives, tea or coffee, and just how you stand on the matter of salt-rising bread. If you are to spend the night, these wonderful people have a dear way of seeing to it that a bouquet of your favorite flowers smile at you from your dressing table, and that the right number of pillows will be under your head with a special remembrance as to whether you like them hard or soft, thick or thin.

Surely heaven should bestow a particular smile of kindliness on such women folk! -r -f- A Summer Remembrance: A house mellow and aloof in the midst df a peaceful garden, with an aspect of not belonging with the new houses grown up around it. A homestead with a remembering look and quietness hanging like a veil about it, shutting out the new years.

The odor of burning wood was in the air. A hasty glance at the forest of chimneys in the neighborhood gave no clue to its source, but it is just as well because our memory can supply the slight deficiency in our sense of sight. A little cabin nestling in a clump of trees, a thin veil of blue smoke trailing upward, frost-bitten peony leaves, ripening mullen stalks, yellowing maples, blackbird chorus, cawing crows a picture created out of memory, yet as real as life.

discipline more strict, but chances of escape are minimized by inaccessible locations. The United States might consider the adoption of a similar system. Desperadoes of the type that terrorized the Southwest, are beyond the pale of reform. No hope of parole exists for them. They have been sentenced for life and no risk should be taken on any possible opportunity to escape.

A prison for these gang leaders situated on a rocky island would minimize the opportunities to smuggle arms and saws, and would delay any opportunity to commandeer the nearest automobile, once the convicts had passed the walls. If the miserable lives of these outlaws are spared, they should spend their days remote from any gangster connections. ability to imagine things, to create realities out of faint nothingness, to dream daytime dreams and build romantic reveries is a source of genuine happiness unknown to many persons. We are too busy, or in too great a hurry to get somewhere to develop our nomic, political or constitutional grounds. The fate of these economic experiments may be decided before time would permit the Supreme court to pass on their legality.

If successful within reasonable expectations, the court might rule that the constitution is sufficiently elastic to permit temporary extension of ordinary bounds. If the program is doomed to failure, that fact would discount the effect of a ruling. The law of economics, in that event, would outweigh the opinion of the highest tribunal. There have been suggestions among prominent citizens favorable to the recovery program that it might be advisable for the government to submit a test case to the Federal court. They assume that an opinion would be handed down upholding the acts embodied in the recovery program.

Others, equally friendly to the NRA, feel that the government should refrain from making any legal test, at least mental faculty of imagination. It is characteristic of us to wish to be somewhere else. We are seldom pleased with what we have or where we are.

COLLEGE AVENUE RUTS. To the Editor of The Indianapolis Star: I am a citizen of Indianapolis, have been for twelve years. I am proud of our city in many respects, but occasionally see things I do not enthuse over. My summer vacation took me across five states.

To the Editor of The Indianapolis Star: I don't know whether all tax adjustment hoards did as they did in Ripley county or not.

They deserve the rebuke of every taxpayer in the county. They met and declared an emergency existed in every taxing unit, put tax rates two and three times as high as the law allows. I fail to see why the tax law is not as mandatory to the officials as the law that every county officer growth. The plant and equipment of the university is estimated to be worth $8,000,000. It has 657 members on the faculty and an attendance of 7,763, according to the latest available reports.

There has been comparatively little diminution in university attendance as a result of the depression. The Dominion's great educational institutions are in much the same predicament as are our own, being called on to handle a normal attendance with an abnormally low income. The Montreal university is suffering the fate of institutions on this side of the border that are largely dependent on public funds for maintenance. It has no large endowment on which to draw, as has its neighbor in Montreal, McGill university, with $17,000,000 invested and more than a century of traditions. The latter also has less than a third the enrollment of the public university, which, obviously, is performing a very great service to the people in spite of the rigors of taxpayer economy.

for five years he was a fifer in the desire to delay, regardless of Federal officials' willingness to defer proceedings. Many feel that the highest court will be called on to consider the recovery issue in the coming winter or next spring. In view of that possibility, legal experts are devoting close study to recent court decisions which may throw some light on the line of reasoning likely to be followed in weighing the legality of the recovery acts.

She was the third person to be buried in the Hopewell cemetery. Her great great grandfather, Simon Jansen Van Arsdalen, came from Holland in 1563 and settled at Flattands, Long Island. This name was changed to Vanarsdal between 1653 and 1756. "A number of Hopewell families are descendants of Isaac and Anna Covert," says the writer. "At the present time about eleven hundred descendants of Isaac and Antje or Anna Covert, have, been listed, with approximately one-fourth of them still unaccounted for.

At the present time only a few of them are living in Hopewell, the rest being scattered over the country and all trace of them lost. The following families are descendants of Isaac dnd Anna Covert: Voris, Lagrange, Demaree, VanNuys, Banta, Henderson, Terrill, Cosine and Bergen."

From there they came at the close of the revolutionary war into the new country of Kentucky and settled near Harrod's Station. "Simon Covert came to Johnson county, Indiana, in 1823 and built his cabin at the foot of the west slope of Donnell Knoll," says a writer in the Herald. "Thomas Henderson, who was selecting a place for his cabin preparatory to bringing his family to this new country, noted the excellent location for a church, school and cemetery. He and Simon Covert decided then on the location of the present church as the place for a house of worship. At the time of founding, John and Cornelius Covert, brothers of Simon, along with Peter Demaree, Samuel VanNuys and Isaac VanNuys, were elected as officers.

"Prior to the founding of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church in 1831, the settlement was visited at intervals by Presbyterian ministers who held public worship in the homes of the pioneers. It was in the fall of 1825 that the first of these services was held in the home of Simon Covert." The Coverts were originally of the Dutch Reformed faith, but finding no church of their own in Kentucky, they associated themselves with the Presbyterian church under Dr. Thomas Cleland. "Cornelius Covert owned and operated one of the earlier grist mills. The site of the mill was on the west bank of Young's creek about one-quarter of a mile northwest of Donnell Knob.

The mill was later burned by people who objected to malaria and other diseases caused by the backwater of the mill race. William Duwayne Covert, a grandson of John Covert and great-nephew of Simon, recovered the stones and a wooden sill from the old mill and they are aries of $300 and $240. I suppose they believe the higher the salary the more campaign fund will yield. The state administration seems to believe in "making two officers grow where only one grew before" with an increased salary. M.

W. M. Osgood, Ind. WK MUST GO FORWARD. To the Editor of The Indianapolis Slar: "Hold fast to that which is good" is an advertising slogan of a well known insurance company that might very well be adopted by our leaders in this day of rapid political and social changes.

However, the attitude of some ultra conservative, particularly certain political chieftains of the G. O. seems to be to hold fast to everything regardless of its previous success or failure. The way out of this depression can only be found by going ahead and not by standing still or going back. Suppose it were possible to retrace step by step back to the year 1929, which marked the climax of the "mad twenties," or "abnormal twenties" as one popular writer phrased it.

Having arrived there, we would find ourselves facing the great depression again, with the same problems to solve, the same errors to correct, and the same changes to be made in our economic and social set-up.

That man Brisbane is the worst offender in that respect.

A few days ago he advocated again, for perhaps the tenth time, that the United States government call in ten billion dollars' worth of bonds and pay for them in "nice freshly printed money which would be as good as any money in America or elsewhere." Nonsense. They tried this very stunt in Germany in 1923 and all who witnessed the proceedings will never forget those crazy days. Millions were just chicken feed and prices changed by the hour. Over night the government would turn out reams of this nice freshly printed money Brisbane thinks so much of and next day prices would go up a few hundi-ed per cent and any currency kept longer than twenty-four hours would be practically worthless.

FANATICISM FOR PEACE. vNE must deplore the fanaticism for peace which induces some folk to ignore every practical consideration of national security. There may be some in the United States who figure the financial profits which would accrue from war. Others may contemplate the opportunities for personal advancement.

The two service organizations may have a "big army" and a "big navy" group. The aggregate of all mili-taristically inclined, however, would be a negligible percentage of the population. Americans abhor the thought of strife and are willing to meet any and all nations more than halfway to prevent it. These factors should not blind the country to the need of a reasonable program of national defense. The world is groping for escape from intolerable conditions which lead inevitably to war.

Some nations have learned nothing and forgotten nothing since the world holocaust. Germany is rattling the same sword with which the Kaiser once terrified the continent. Japan is using the world's economic and political troubles and her own alleged needs to excuse the robbery of helpless China. A number of Americans learned nothing from the toll the war took of the nation's manhood. It is generally admitted that lack of preparedness exacted a heavy penalty from our citizen-soldiers.

That indifference produced a waste of hundreds of millions. The nation emerged from that conflict as the world's creditor. It is regarded with envy, hatred and suspicion In several quarters.

Take, for instance the new way of telling the story of creation. "When God began to create the heaven and the earth, the earth was a desolate waste with darkness covering the abyss and a tempestuous wind raging over the surface of the waters." Compare that with the sublimity of the familiar "authorized version:" "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light." Can any modern translator improve thatT ginger, the brief understanding and so farewell! It might easily have happened a hundred years only then could a business man know what the money was worth on that day. An o-dmary meal finally cost $1,000,000,000,000 in American money at prewar excharge. The whole thing was an orgy for profiteers, gamblers and speculators, and a tragedy for the millions of honest toilers, who had scrimped and economized to have enough in thfeir old age and then saw the savings of a lifetime swept away in a deluge of phoney money.

Because of the faulty foundation, the entire economic structure was foredoomed to collapse, regardless of how magnificent an edifice was erected. In the rebuilding of what is left of the old structure, it will be found necessary and feasible to make some alterations and possibly to make some entirely new construction. Looking backward will help to avoid mistakes of past architects and builders and from them we can absorb that which has proven good in practice; but he who looks backward with longing is somewhat akin to Lot's wife.
