So-Called One Man Clean-up Of Marion Has Kick ,Back The City of Marion, mayor and Council and police officers do not appreciate the unsolicited advertis- ing received recently from a "raid" in Marion staged by members of the Cedar Rapids police depart- ment. "Resulting from the action has been considerable ill feeling of Marion people and city officials to- wards the city of Cedar Rapids in general and the Cedar Rapids po- lice department and the daily newspaper in particular," states the Marion Sentinel. The matter was investigated by Marion city officials, mayor, police department, council and private citizens, "who have severely cen- sored the entire action, as well as the resultant publicity given the city by a Cedar Rapids newspaper which is described by local city officials as being 'very one-sided and unfair.' " Finding of a punch board under a counter and not in operation in Marion seemed to provoke the chief of detectives from the county seat, Earl Stanley, so he called the dep- uty sheriff over from Cedar Rap- ids. Three minors were found in a pool hall. Although Stanley says he tried to locate the mayor and chief oI police, Marion officials ask why he did not contact two uniformed of- fleers on the street at the time. Stanley is accused of twisting severely and bruising the arm at a waitress; of telling the proprietor of the place with the punch board, it was none of his damn business when he asked Stanley who he was; of telling a clerk in the pool hal"~ that he was dumb, and further that he had a notion to kick the rl--- out of him. The Marion chief of police al- leges that at this same time "a drunken brawl was in full swing at a beer tavern in the Cedar Rap- ids loop district, with no police of- ricers to be found." Stanley talked about making it harder for children to be bad. The Marion chief of police states, "I have heard that when the Marion high school Junior-Senior banquet was held in a Cedar Rapids hotel recently, there were many evidenc- es of drinking, and these high school boys and girls did not buy the liquor in Marion." ".. at the time of the state high school music contest in Iowa City a short time ago, a large number of students, (in band uniforms, too) were seen in the hotel bar mention- ed above (in Cedar Rapids) drink- ing beer. And without interfer- ence." Some of the excerpts of the state- ment by the Marion chief of police • are here printed because the Mar- ion side of the episode has not been given fair publicity. Probably in the future the Cedar Rapids detective chief may confine his melter drama tactics to Cedar Rapids and not carry on in Marion like a cop in a dime movie thriller. If police want to get tough when dealing with criminals they prob- ably can get by with it. But when they start dealing with the average citizen who on the whole is as law abiding as one can be in these days of too many laws, the least they can do is to learn some manners and act as polite as possible. It would seem from the reports of the Marion chief as to conditions in Cedar Rapids, that detective stanley could use his time to ad- vantage in Cedar Rapids and let Mai'ion run its own affairs• Police departments deserve the support of law abiding citizens in stamping out crime. Episodes as the one at Marion make the aver- age citizen look down on such law enforcement. lowans are Indebted All Right Former Governor Kraschel made a use of words last week which can have two meanings much to the TEN YEARS AGO June 6, 1929 As Ted Mitchell and Don Ink were returning from Iowa City on Monday night, at the top of Wolfe hill, their Hudson coach caught fire. The engine was not injured, neither were the front tires, but otherwise it is a complete loss. A motion was passed at a recent council meeting directing the street and alley committee to widen the corner at Tenth avenue and First street, near the Turner filling sta- ;ion. "Fighting Bob Zuppke" famous football coach of the State Univer- sity of Iowa, gave a fighting talk at the Men's Mixer on Saturday evening, The Linn county board of super- visors will receive bids June 17, for the surfacing of secondary road dis- trict number 21, which is the road that runs from the Military road south through Lisbon• The steering gear on the Kenneth (~ordon car went wrong Decoration Day evening when a carload of young people were enroute to Ce- dar Rapids.

The Federated church will receive ;500; the Ladies Aid society, $150; the missionary society, $150. Among the many gifts the most beautiful is that of $1000, to little Jane Kurtz.
