Y Life Building, Kansas City, Mo A CITY WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS— The English speaking people of the world's biggest city are just emerging ftjom a decidedly uncomfortable but quite, oh quite, illuminating experience. For a fortnight, they have been deprived of their local newspapers through the operation of the "outlaw pressmen's strike.” True, the isolation was not complete, for there were Newark, Philadelphia and other not too distant cities where able newspapers are published, and there also was the Socialist Daily Call, which seemed to fairly grin as it found a place on empty newsstands away up on fashionable Fifth avenue, and Central Park West in New York. But these were sad substitutes for Father Knickerbocker's favorite breakfast food and Mother Knickerbocker's favorite evening pabulum. For ten days nobody c.ussed the newspapers. For ten days, at least, the critic who knows how a newspaper ought to be run and what he’d do if they'd only nut him in charge, was strangely silent. Department stores put out great circulars giving lists of their "special sales,” but there was no way of distributing the same. Theatres and movies could make no announcements excepting through billboards and electric signs, and unless folks went downtown, how could they see ’em and if they didn't know there was something new on. why should they come down? But probably the most serious blow was that involved in the lost of the "want columns.” One leading advertising expert estimated loss from this source alone to advertisers and patrons was not for shorWof >5,000,000. “What's the news?” asked mother, and father only grunted uncomfortably and wondered when the strike would be over. It is saiil that the great strike has cost the publishers of New York dailies millions of dollars, but in the increased public appreciation of what newspapers mean to a community, the loss actually was a mighty good investment. —Indianapolis Times. The following sent out by the Industrial News Bureau will at least sound good to those who are worrying a’oout their coal supply: “Newspaper dispatches from all parts of the country show increasing use of fuel oil in homes, apartment houses, factories ami public buildings, instead of coal. For several years the public has been subjected to a periodical coal strike with resulting hardships from lack of fuel and unreasonable prices. The public interest in the coal industry has apparently been lost sight of by both the operators and the miners. The day wh<ti jack of coal can cHpple a whole nation is drawing to a close. The public is sick and tired of the annual outrage. Electricity, fuel oil and gas are the touting substitutes for coal in the average home and factory. Public utility plants operated by coal, will use oil to operate their own . to the great adrant.:;? of tie public. Coal mining will get the same lesson that la eventually meted out to. any Wdustfy that in its operation z-- i

loses sight of the public interest. A substitute that gives better service will take Its place.” The political wrifbr in the Chicago Tribune says Senator Samuel Ralston • will be the democratic noqiinee for president, figuring that there will be a deadlock between the McAdoo and Underwood forces. Senator Ralston I is not a candidate for the honor and [ will not seek the nomination, but i fate may wish it upon him. He will ' have the support of the Hoosiers, who better than all the rest know that he is big enough for the presidency and that the country is in need of just such a common, level-headed man. The state gasoline tax for the month of August amounted to >482,078,96, an increase of over >40,000 for the month of July. Then a person wonders what the people are doing with their money and why more houses are not being built? And the tax represents less than onetenth of the total amount spent for gasoline, based on the August price for gas. • The republican press delights in showing what the cost of maintaining the League of Nations headquarters is. What about this expense of building balloons and shooting up the battleships for target practice, which the government is now engaging in? And what good are these balloon races? Wall? Ward, the rich baker’s son. celebrated his birthday in fine fashion Sunday, he being truly thankful to the jury for acquitting him of the charge of murdering a poor sailor boy. The mother of the dead boy did not feel so happy. Money talked in that case. Five hundred cars of grapes were standing on the tracks of a certain railroad in Detroit last Friday. And to think that the automobile city is only a few miles from the Canadian border. In American money, Lenin And Trotzky each receive about $55.00 per month. Being dictator ami ruler of the Russians is not such a paying job after all. “A good beginning, a poor ending” is the old saying, so watch our football teams towards the close of the season. Today is the day when Governor McCray learns how many political friends he has. o 1. U. ENROLLMENT Total Number Os Students This Year Near 3,600 Mark Bloomington. Oct. I—With a few late students still straggling in, the enrollment of the University of Indiana totals near 3,600, an increase of 600 over last year's enrollment. Three hundred twenty of the 3,600 students are enrolled in the medical school at Ind'anapolis. The remainder are enrolled in various departments here. Indiana is not a co-ed's school, registrar's figures show. Men have a majority of 590 in the registration at Bloomington. BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL. Dangers attend us every day! The great arch enemy Seeks Io destroy us- body, soul, <>n land and on the sea. Hunger, cold and pestilence. Like wolf f>:uk on a plain; Pursues the path of millions now, -> Hope of escape seems vain. Storm, earthquake, fire, dread disease. Dark perils ever near; War Strikes its cruel, senseless blow, Deatli fills our heart with fear. i Our father, be our guard and guide, 'Gainst evils, sin and strife, * Give food and raiment. peace and joy. At last eternal life. ( Miss Mayuie Deininger made a bus- ' iuess trip to Fort Wa/ue this morn.iug. _

Rash had two bad innings, the first and the seventh, when Willshire bunched their hits for six runs. Rash. Lammert and Buffenbarger were tin; heavy hitters for the winners, while E.
