ORDERS FROM THE OUTSIDE. It took considerable “crust” for Tom Warner, a non-residen1 manufacturer to send orders to Muncie to put the city managei thing across. One of the things which contributed to the defeat of the city manager plan here was the impudent interference of outsiders who sought to tell Muncie people how to run their own city. Clarence Green, a Dayton product, who spoke here and had something to do with the management of the local campaign gave the cairse he espoused the worst black eye that it received during the campaign. The city commission of Dayton is controlled and bossed by John Patterson, the cash register magnate and .Green is a per sonal employe of Patterson. Green had the impudence to assert, before a Muncie audience that no city manager had ever been sentencd to a federal prison calmly ignoring the fact that his own boss, John Patterson, hac been convicted by the government of the crime of conspiring tc throttle competition and exact unwarranted profits from everj cash register user, and was sentenced to a term of one year and one day in federal prison. On account of his great wealth and influence Patterson ii some way dodged the prison sentence which had been imposed, a ( did his close political friend, Senator Newberry of Michigan. What Munc.ie people would like to hear from Tom Warner am his manufacturer associates is less bosh about how the city o Muncie is to be governed and more enlightenment as to when tin Muncie factories with which Warner is affiliated will resume operations and furnish employment for an army of workmen whose families are suffering for the lack of the necessities of life.
JUDGE ANDERSON AND JIM BLACK Judge A. B. Anderson of the federal court, who by his personal ity on the bench has made himself the most hated, the most ad mired, the most criticized and the most eulogized judge in the United States, now has something to answer for, which, in the opinion of the Post-Democrat,, cannot be explained away. If Judge Anderson had done his duty Constable Jim BlacI would now be doing time in federal prison and Willie Cooper would not be lying at death’s door in the Home Hospital because of Jim Black’s mania for taking human life. Two or three months ago Jim Black, a known man killer and r notorious grafter, appeared before Judge Anderson after beiny indicted by the federal grand jury for the commission of a felony and pleaded guilty to taking graft money from Muncie law break ers. It then became the plain duty of Judge Anderson to sentenct the confessed grafter and start him on his way to Atlanta or Fori Leavenworth. Instead the judge allowed Black to return to Mun cie and run at large with his gun and club while the judicial mine took its time in deciding just what ought to be done to a peace officer who takes graft money from criminals, and who had one mur der victim: to his credit. Judge Anderson might just as well have said: ‘‘Now Jim, yoi have told me that you have used your official position as a basis of grafting. You have taken hush money from a number of criminals in order that they may not be disturbed in the prosecution ol their lawless transactions. You are a self-confessed crook, but that makes no difference to this court; Go on back to Muncie, pin your tin star on your coat, load up the gun with which you killed William Hartley and shoot the first boy that runs away when ht sees you coming with your gun.” A judge who would turn a man-killing crook like Jim BlacI loose on Muncie is a menace to society and is not fit to sit in r judicial capacity. If he had what is coming to him he would b( impeached and fired summarily from the position he has disgrac ed. Judge Anderson, together with the commissioners who appointed Black and kept him in office, are jointly responsible along with Black himself, for the shooting and possible death ol Willie Cooper. The Post-Democrat says this advisedly and with the full know ledge that Judge Anderson has sat upon his judicial throne so long, surrounded by a tip-toeing bunch of time-serving hand clappers and knee bending press agents that the? public has come to regard him as a little tin god, entitled through the awful majesty of his position to belch forth the vials of his wrath whenever the fit seizes him, and that criticism of one possessed of such mighty power becomes an invitation to immediate disaster. The people have just finished up one job of defeating an attempt to fasten one-man power onto the city of Muncie. A man holding the title of judge who has the power to take a plea ol of guilty from a murderous felon of the Jim Black type, and then calmly send him back to Muncie with his gun, instead of locking him up like a mad dog, is assuming more power than God Almighty and the constitution ever intended that he should have. The Post-Democrat is getting sick and tired of hearing about what “Judge Anderson will do to ’em.” If Indiana is an absolute monarchy let’s say so and be done with it, if not, let’s get out oi the unhealthy habit of permitting Judge Anderson or any other judge to assume the attitude of royalty, surrounded with courtiers, court jesters and eager servelings. Judge Anderson is hired to serve the people—not rule them, and he is answerable to his employers, who pay his salary, when he voluntarily and with little regard for his oath of office takes upon himself the responsibility of answering for the good conduct of a murderer and bribe taking crook. The Star says “we must now abide by the result.” Now that’s mighty kind of the. Star. We feared that it might come in with a minority report and we’d have to do it all over again.
By a vote of 7,696 to 3,728 the voters of Muncie not only repudiated the city manager form of government, but the same vote was a vote of endorsement of democratic administration of the affairs of the city for the past twelve years, Democrats and republicans alike joined in this vote of confidence for democratic rule. Evidently the people here did not believe the criticisms directed against the city administration by the local morning paper and the citizens committee.
The Southside and Whitely, Muncie’s industrial district, rolled up a majority of 4,000 against the commission-manager plan and the districts north of the railroad broke even. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that labor does not. kindly take to any proposition backed by the Star, the commercial club and the manufacturers.
Clarence Dearth seems to be a regular kind of a guy who isn’t afraid of the cars. Clarence managed the anti-manager campaign with a fearless disregard of the threats of the mighty and the wrath of the elect, which won him many friends. He is said to be a candidate for the republican nomination for circuit judge next year. The friends he made in the late campaign ought to stick to him. If they fail to do so they are yaller.
The Post-Democrat always knew that the women of Muncie would take a swat at the chamber of commerce if the opportunity ever presented itself. The women “did noble” at the election Tuesday.
Paraphrasing the morning constellation, whose Jeremiads concerning the federal plan and paeans of praise over the Dusseldorf-er-Hamburg-Burgomeister method are still fresh in our minds, we rise humbly to remark; “Muncie does not seem quite ready for the manager plan.”

GAS CONSERVATION IS BIG PROBLEM IN U. S^ EXPERT SAYS
Washington, June 2—H. Foster Bain Director of the United States Bureau of Mines, considers conservation of natural gas one of the most important problems faced by the American public today. His recommendations for soiving the problem should be Of decided interest to Ohioans who are confronted with a rapidly diminishing supply of the valuable fuel and are seeking proper methods of conserving
it.
“The life of our natural gas supply is now but a matter of years and, with such a condition existing, this deal fuel is at last being annreciated,” he says. “Natural gas ranks as one of the most essential fuels in the United States. It renders comfort to millions of people, a service that is fundamental to our national life, for it serves the home—the backbone of America or any other country. Natural gas service is literally a luxury to the fortunate housewife or household that enjoys such service. “Most unfortunately our natural g^s supply is limited and apparently its life is but a matter of years. Statistics of the U. S. Geological Survey indicate that the gas production in the United States reached its probable maximum in 1917. I “It must be demonstrated to public utility bodies that a great mistake has been made in holding gas at so low a price that it encourages waste. A low price in a commodity that can be so easily dissipated stimulates neglect, extravagance, and waste. I am an earnest advocate of a price for natural gas which will make its saving worth while to the producer, the distributor and the consumer, ^y educational campaigns and co-operation with public bodies, this can be eventu-
ally realized.
“Competent public utility bodies
must see that the public and the companies both receive fair treatment. In this connection it is interesting to note that the average price of manufactured gas to the domestic consumer in the United States is about $1.20 per thousand cubic feet while until recently the domestic consumer of natural gas in Oklahoma has been paying about 40 cents and in addition gettin' a product ?with twice the fuel value. The day of replacing natural with manufactured gas should be
postponed as long as possible. “There is a popular feeling that all
natural gas should be reserved for do-

Haste in replacing punctured or blown out tubes is responsible for much extravagance in tire upkeep. The most common mistake is pinching the tube. Often the tube is inserted in an uneven or twisted manner. This causes it to overlap and wrinkle, with the result that in a short time it will cut through where it has been overlapped and leak. The same trouble comes when nc\y tubes buckle from an inrush of air. New tubes should be partly inflated and applied carefully.
Now we have the latest device for road maintenance—the “road razor.” Its makers claim that it will shave the roughest of dirt roads so clean and smooth that it will resemble a boulevard. If the “razor” will do this more than 9,000,000 motorists will nominate its inventor for the Hall of Fame.
There’s a motorist near Kankakee, 111., who is against road signs of every description, especially “Detour” signs. It isn’t because he holds them unsightly. The other day, while enroute to Chicago, for the first time, he encountered a pesky detour beacon which directed him to proceed five miles. Later he was greeted by another sign reading “Detour 10 miles.” He stopped a passing brother motorist and inquired, “Say, where in the world is this town Detour?”

“Relief has usually come! from the industrial consumer, whose consumption is fairly constant the year around and who thus affords a steady source of income. It is the industrial user who has really afforded profits to the gas conipanies. If, however, it seems advisable to withhold natural gas from the industrial consumer, it is evident that the domestic consumer will have to pay a much higher price for his gas, to cover the cost of standby equipment to meet the peak load

WEDS ADOPTED DAUGHTER, FIFTY YEARS’ ROMANCE

He is now eighty-eight years old and she is sixty. VICIOUS AUTOS New York—Autos are the latest agency of vice, according to Dr. Wilbur F.

The Illinois state highway department has under .construction an experimental road containing 64 test sections, each section differing from the other in design. The types of pavement used include macadam base with asphalt surface, macadam with brick top, concrete base with brick and asphalt top and regular concrete roads.

Even fatigue from driving is a good healthy, tired condition. »
Bang! You hear this sharp signal of a tire blowout often at this season of the year on country roads.- Where traffic is heavy it’s sometimes as difficult to find a vacant space for repairs at the roadside as it is to “spot” a parking space on the city streets. In early summer, tires that have been mistreated during the winter months develop structural weaknesses and the first long trip usually causes them to “pop.” A spare tire is a wise precaution.

A missing cylinder can often be- cured by properly adjusting the spark plug points.

Adopt Substitute To Borah’s Plan On Disarmament

pose of the president of the United day ol June - 1921, at i :30 p. m. States to call an international con-
ference to limit armaments, was agreed upon by Republican members of the house foreign affairs committee as a substitute to the Borah disarmament amendment to the naval apnr/a-
priation bill.
The text was drafted by Chairman Porter after a conference with President Harding at the White House and is believed to have met with his approval. It was introduced Monday, and while its passage may be somewhat delayed, it is intended to convey to house conferences on the naval bill the attitude of the house on the whole question of disarmament. Text of the Resolution The resolution follows: “Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that the congress hereby expresses its full concurrence in the decdress on April 1.2, 1921, that ‘we are faration of the president in his adready to co-operate with other nations to approximate disarmament, but prudence forbids that we disarm alone,’ and further fully concurs in his declared purpose and intention to call an international conference to consider the limitation of armaments with a view to lessen .materially the burden of expenditures and the menace of war; and that for the expenses preliminary to and in connection with the holding of such conference the sum of $100,000, to be expended under the direction of the president is hereby appropriated.”
