RILEY HOSPITAL AID: — Campaigners for *1,000,000, lo be used for the Riley Hospital for Children, start with one advantage that few such campaigns have. They will find, no doubt, tliut the citizens of Indiana support them, and moral support in such a movement cau be translated, in many instances, into financial support as well. Tlie Riley Hospital idea was born of the desire to lie of service to the unfortunate children of the state. The Institution has Ixien recognized throughout the nation as one of the grcaj forward slops in such work and it has given Indiana an enviable reputation in that respect. The ability of the hospital to serve is limited by Its capacity for patients, its equipment aud Its staff To those who knew, there was no experiment alsint the work from the start. Those who needed to be convinced are skeptical no longer. They understand, or can learn easily, that the hospital lias restored to health | scores of children who might otherwise have been doomed to live as cripples, if they lived at all. This humanitarian work lias been done in the name of James Whitcomb Riley and because he loved children; it lias been done in the name of humanity, of practical Christianity, ol' tlio desire of every norma! person to tic of service lo those who need aid. It should go on and on until it reaches all for whom it was intended, and this can be done if (lie people of Indiana are willing to add $1,000,000 to th c *500,000 offered by the Rail brothers. The sum is not out of reason or Tnorc than the iiospital needs. It will be raised, not . wholly from the gifts of those who arc rich and can s; pport such worthy causes, but also because those who can give little will help so numerously that the total of their gener- ; osity will mean success for the en 'l dcavor. —Indianapolis News. The Democratic editors and members of the state central committee Svill meet in Indianapolis Thursday Virni Friday of next week, marking the ( Activities of the campaign on a state , •wide scale. Lincoln Dixon will probably announce at the editorial meeting as a candidate for Tutted States senator for the long term. li e Is in every way capable of opposing Senator Watson and if elected will prove a real champion of the rights of the people. There appears to ( he a deal of anxiety concerning the future of the Texas Fergusons. That is to say 1 dial outside Texas there appears to he much anxiety of the sort concerning that family. Since die failure of the effort to impeach Governor “Ma" Ferguson matters have grown more quiet in that state. What we hear is that should there be any question re-specting-die renomination and re-elec-tion of Governor "Mu" there will be i readiuess of former Governor "Ta" to leap into the breach and save the family and Texas. Jim Ferguson, impeached, ousted and disqualified for political office almost a decade ago, lias been cleansed of his political taint, lie can hold office. Governor "Ma" attended to that—we iu»y suppose under the capable hut disinterested direction of the former chief executive. But what of it? Did "Ma's" tatididacy aud eluctiuu mean anything else? There is no reason

Indiana might not like a Governor "Jim" and New York or Massachusetts. we are persuaded, would not care for a Governor “Ma.” But if Texas wants both that is entirely the business of Texas, with which outsiders have no right to interfere. — For Wayne Journal-Gazette. We are at the peak of interest in the basketball season aud the fans are enjoying themselves to the limit. The Yellow Jackets and the girls won against Garrett her« last evening and the Commodores made a good showing at Fort Wayne, though they lost. We are proud of our teams and it is fine to lie good winners and good losers. That* the big lesson we get out of It and its one that holds all through life. What has become of the young man Svlio had to go to work at sunrise, dust the store, fill the lamps, get in file water and get ready for business, work until nine or ten at night and then see that all the chores were (Tone before lie locked up and went home for a few hours sleep? lie didn't have time for basketball, golf.

In this section of the country we haven't paid much attention to the anthracite coal strike and have felt it but little, hut a man who has just irtubied from Potfasylvasia says its a real disaster there.

“ Clocks And Medicine Arc Taxed As “Luxuries " In New China I arili Peking, (United Press)—Not « lnce publication of Japan's 100 percent duty luxury tariff list Imve Occidentul dwellers In Hie Orient had such a , hock »s when they surveyed the classification of "luxuries" compile by (lie Chinese Customs Conference Delegation. As proposed, the list of luxui ies fulls Itato two tables, "A" grade, to be taxed JO percent, and “B” grade, to be taxed 20 pereent, when imported into Chinn. The first category takes in liquor anti tobacco jt Is the second which has aroused commenL Notable among the articles regarded us "luxuries" by the Chinese tariff experts comes Drugs and Medicines. Hardly less surprising, lo those familiar with the present-day habit of eternal and widespread civil war in China, is the inclusion of Arms and Munitions. Another luxury heading reads “Vehicles, etc. (excluding Touring Motorcars).” At present about thc one greatest necessity in China today, from the viewpoint of the enterpris- , ing Occidental, is improved transportation of every sort. "Touring motorcars" are very popular with Chinese politicians, however, which may account for their apparent classification as a necessity. Other listed "luxuries" include 1 (‘locks, Watches and Accessories thereof, which are admittedly superfluous in a place where time means ' as little as in China. India-rubber and Manufactures thereof. Fish and Fishery Products, and Beverages and Comestibles of Superior Quality (standard of judment not slated )
