j URROIZING DILLINGER
: What is there about human beings, anyway, that gives
'them a sneaking admiration for all outlaws? This man John
pillingor is a desperado, a killer, a robber, and a general, all
jaround rat. Yet somehow he has caught the imagination
. cf a good part of his fellow-countrymen. The people of his
jhonve town Jmve actually circulated a petition calling on the"
frovemor of Indiana to give him amnesty; unquestionably,
(there are a lot more people who hope to sec him continue to
foil the law and escape punishment.
Why should tills he? Why nhould the people of the United Btntos, In
the eventful year of 1B34, wit to work to bulla up a romniitlc Robin Hood
legend about a low-browcd crlnilmtl whoso sole distinction seems to be
that ho Is tho most vicious thug unhanged? Partly, perhaps, It comes as
a reaction from our years of reading about Ohlcagoese gangRtcrs, These lads,
the racketeers and. hl-Juckci-s and muscle men, wero always too buslncHfl
ltko and cautious to tako on a romantic glamour. They did not no much
fight with tho police as connive with them. They used hired killers to
gain their ends. When they killed their men, they killed by treachery,
shooting from behind; 'tho great American Institution of "the ride" Is the
very acmo of cowardly, .safety-first cunning. DllUngcr is moro like a throw
back to tlie bad men of tho old west. He has truded shots with his vic
tims In the pld-tlmo style, and risked his neck aplenty In Ills forays.
As a result, ho has been built up Into an Impossible character: a sort of
combination of Jcsso James, Billy tho Kid and Robin Hood, for whom law
nbldlng cltlrHB are willing to sign petitions asking clemency. All this,
perhaps. Is human and natural. But It Is nevertheless a queer and foolish
mistake. For when all has been said and done, Dllllnger Is a menace to
public safety, a homicidal -freak who deserves ucltlior admiration nor sym
pathy. The silly sontlineutallly that trios to make a hero out of him Is
as brainless a display as wo Americans have mado In many a mouth. Dll
llnger needs to be shot on sight by the first cop who spots him.

Applause rnviijitly Heard
The delegation last night wiu un
usually demonstrative, and tlmo nnd
again when eome (spokesman made
some popular claim, loud applauso
followed. W. T. Grlder, who opcuod
the protest, said tliat no regarded the
law us an injustice, as It probably
would XorcQ owners of JuUX of tlu es
timated 200 cows within tlio city to
dlsposo of them, thus taking away
milk from scores of children who
would not otherwise receive the food
"I would rather hear a cow bawl Ml
night tliaa bear children, cry lor
milk," lie sa'd. aud tlie applauso was
Immediate, lie unied immediate re
consideration of th0 ordinance, and,
Melville replied tliut the only change
made was Including tho 50-foot llml
tntlon. It developed that this point
was tho ono tho protcsUmU held wiv
an injimtlco. Melvlllo said Uio lUet
was to prevent dirty barns close to
someone's residence. Later, it waa
pointed out by ono of tho protostauts
that the ordlnanco made no monuon
of foul housing for animals or birds,
and suggeHted that the 60-foot limi
tation could bo removed and some
other provision Inserted to make own
ers of dirty barns, etc. keep tliem
clean.
E. R. Rlngo, city attorney, explain
ed his Ideas In writing tho ordinance
amendment. Orlder replied that al
ready two or thrco people have dis
posed of their cows .because thoy
feared arrest and a iO0 fine, und
added that tjio meaning of tlie or
dinance was very plain to him.
Jim Fitzgerald said that his born
waa within 30 feet of another home,
tliut he had always tried to keep it
clean, and then called on his neigh
bor for proof. Tho neighbor said he
had been hi several house In town
and that some of them wero not as
clean as Fitzgerald's barn, and tliut
ho had never had occasion to com
plain about the barn.
Melville at thl point said: "If we ve
made a mistake, youil find that we
aro big enough to acknowledge 11,"
Fitzgerald replied: "I hope so."
Be vera! others spoke during the
meeting, among them Bird Bennett
who suggested that he had faith In
the city commission's good intentions
aud was sure they would urrango the
matter to the satisfaction of all. An
other man said Ifi the ordinance were
enforced, it would throw 100 Ija
Grnudo families onto tho county for
old.
