TELLING ’EM:— Thurman Gottschalk is more thauj making good a« minority leader oi the house. He Is not playing politics j but is lighting every minute for. what be believes to be the best in ; terests of the people. When Speaker ; Morgan handed down the appropria | tion bill the other day he had the | machinery so greased that it was ' declared passed to final passage l without recognizing the democratic | members and without a count of the, votes. It was the most high handed , piece of legislation since the old road ' roller days. Most of the democratic * members left the house but Thurman j remained and finally’ getting the attention of the speaker, said: “Now that this excitement is over i I want to say that we, on the l minority side realize that this budget bill would have gone through regard : less of the action the Democrats might have taken. This amendment which you claim to have made this afternoon, to provide for an appro priation of $1,500,000 for the con struction of the reformatory, is one 1 ( which the minority’ members, with one exception, can not concur in. It ( was railroaded through so fast 1 am not even sure of the figure you have finally determined. “We know, well enough, that if the ‘ present reformatory contract is car ' ried out $2,000,000 or wen $3.00000 j is not enough to complete the project. " We object, as you know, to the cost plus plan of construction. You, as Republicans, have repudiated the costplus plan in your last campaign. We know that an approp. iation of sl. 500,000 will not complete the reform atory and realize that if the cost plus contract is continued we will be asked to appropriate more money to complete the institution, at the next session of the legislature. “You see several vacant seats on 1 our side. This is purely a protest against the action of the majority side in railroading these amendments through. We had agreed that wo would ask for only two amendments.! We had a right to introduce these amendments and you Republicans had a right to vote them down if you did not want them. Why is it you would not give us ttys opportunity? “You, as a majority, have ridden j over us and have not given us opportunity to be heard on this reform-j atory question. Therefore J have a motion 1 would like to present at this i time.” i He then made his protest a part of the records of the bouse. The north wind is blowing todayj but in another month we will be j thinking of cleaning up the old town I for spring. Then will come demands for "clean up’’ days or weeks. That's fine but the cleaning up should be a campaign which continues until snow flies next autumn. Make it an all summer drive for a cleaner and bet-! ter city. A day is pathetic when you! contemplate all the things there are I to do and a week is just a good start. Convert some of the old weed lots into attractive looking little parks or play grounds. Flan for the beautifying of the entrances to the ‘city, clean the river banks, paint the houses and the business fronts, put up new’ awnings. Let’s make this a good one. Several bills have been Introduced. In the legislature to fix a limit of forty-eight, fifty or fifty-four hours a week for women to work. We have, no desire to oppress the women but we are unable to sec ‘why there should be a limit on the hours of women- in Indiana any more than on the men. There may’ be some good reasons hut as stated wo doll t know what they are. The law would pre-

vent women holding many poaitionz such as telephone operating and also prevents double shifts in many plants. We are now shivering under a fierce nor’ western wind that fairly I takes our breath. The thermometer I dropped about forty degrees yesterday and this was a real winter day. | The unusual part of it is that the storm came through from the Pacific 1 coast where mild weather is so wideIly advertised and it came on the wings of a ninety mile an hour gale. ! Anyway it is not doped to last long 1 and after the mild months we can ; stand a little of lt« The bonus blil passed the house ' yesterday but don’t get excited. The' leading attorneys of the state declare the bill as drafted and passed is 'without doubt unconstitutional. Evi-i dently its just a little more of that ' same brand of dope that has been handed to the ex-soldier for several I years. The telephone company is asking 1 for your expressions as to whether; J ; ' or not they should put in a modern | plant here at an increased rate. You! i have an opinion and you should ■ : express it. Now is the time.

Big Bertha" the word "Boom” would better suit mo»t loyal citizens of every nation on tho globe. JOHNNY SPILLED THE BEANS Teacher (to her class of young hopefuls) —Which would bo corrdl't, to say "My hair is turning grey, or my hair is turning grey—as you know the word •hair’ is both singular and plural?” Little Johnny—Please, teacher, neither would be. Teacher—Why not, Johnny? Little Johnny—Because, mother says you wear a wig. A DARK SECRET The subject is really beneath My notice, but still I'll remark That women with pretty teeth But seldom smile in the dark. UNPREMEDITATED THOUGHTS Virtue is a noble attribute to women i who are to unattractive to be tempted i or to cold to fall. Woman is a creature so timid that a ■ i mouse will startle her and a proposal of marriage will make Jump. When a woman complains that life is I , dull and uninteresting it is a sign that she is tired of being good. After all, a woman is not much worse than when she is after only one. I One thing that helps to make a I woman love her husband is uot having I anybody else love her. IT MUST BE AWf JLLY LONESOME FOR HIM NOW My old pal Jack, who, with his sweet- j tie has been Seeing America First, is . driving back home alone. One evening > while he and “sweetie" were strolling i in the moonlight near the precipitious ! edges of the Grand Canyon he became * very eloquent. “Dearest," he said. I " when I compare the greatest work of : man with the handicraft of Nature and 1 the beauties that God hath wrought, it makes me feel like a heathenish pag- < eti.” Before he could give further ex- < pression to his feelings, the sweet f young tiling piped up with "Why, Jack. : you're always pagen away at some- I thing, anyway, ain't you?" —Skeet. ) When the morning sun 'rose o'er the ; towering cliffs, its beams fell on a mangled form on the rocks hundreds of feet beiow. AND A FEW OTHERS I' Here are four things that money j (

cannot buy: A sheet tor the bed of the ocean, a blanket for the cradle of the deep, a key for the elephant s trunk, and a remedy to make the ink well. Fargo Frank. Or cushions for the seats of the mighty. My! How Times Have Changed in the good old days, before a man proposed to a girl he satisfied himself that she was the one girl in the wide world for him: that her reputation was beyond reproaeW; and that she was a good cook. Now he wants to know if her father is wealthy and how long he is expected to live, accidents barred; j can she shake a mean hoof, and what i kind of cigarettes her mother smokes. How Does He Get Away With It? Dear Editor: I have had my car ali most three years now and have never paid a cent for repairs on it. J. A. C. Reilly, the garage man, told me you hadn’t and now I believe you both. STAN says: Clothes do not make a man. but 1 know of a mighty swell Cso she Hunks) ; woman who was made by a breach-of-promise suit. SOME COW This advertisement appeared in ? newspaper the other day: “Wanted, a steady, respectable young man to look after a garden and milk a cow who has a good voice and is accus tomed to sing in the choir.” _ DON’T PLACE YOUR EXPECTATIONS TO HIGH Ed Hesse, a Louisville merchant, sold a pair of silk stockings to Mandy, the colored cook of a friend of his. Some time later while lie was visiting his friend, Mandy was serving dinner, and Ed thinking of her purchase asked: “Mandy, did your silk stockings come tip to your expectations.” “No, suli." replied Mandy, "Dey conies just a little above my knees, dat's all.” Jerome. CHANGED TIMES The times have changed since we were kids and frolicked round in old straw lids. The things that we considered great are now classed punk, out of date; and things that then wentagged as bad are now pulled by most ev'ry lad. We dared not read "Police Gazette" —it was an awful sin you bet:

! if we were caught persuing it. we d get I It on the place we sit. So we'd conceal 1 it in the shed or hide it underneath ' the bed; and when we got a right good chance at those pink pages we would glance. The old "Gazette” is now right tame and hardly worthy of the name; ;,ml boys may read it it they chi.os.-
