STILL, if they do repeal that soft drink tax what use shall we have for the Icrwly penny? WHO originated the republican slogan, "What’s the constitution between friends?” FORTY-FIVE ROUNDS in Lower California? Possibly the climate has changed since we studied geography. THE WORLD’S AFFAIRS and the country’s good may wait. Congress must have its little petty politics. WHERE, oh where, are the self-sacrificing war workers and the soldier candidates in the affairs of the republican party of Indiana? WE AGREE with Chairman Wasmuth that the republican party has not advanced or broadened since Jim Goodrich became Its state leader. , WHAT WE CAN’T UNDERSTAND is why they give a desk officer a distinguished service medal and deny one to the mother who furnished three sons. NOW that Ed Schmidt has finally worked his way into the management of a campaign for governor, politics might be said to be in full blast in Indiana. MR. FISCUS has shotfn himself a man of quality in refusing to press further his ciaim to a position under Judge Lahr, since the judge expressed his desire not to have him. I DR. BRYAN says Indiana university needs more money for educational \ purposes. Are we to understand that Goodrich wants another survey of the coal fields made by the university staff next summer? THE AMERICAN LEGION Wishes the legislature to transact a little business for it which is in no way dependent on the actions of the court. But the legion i.s young. It has plenty of time to get acquainted with the Goodrich methods. Fester's Managers Further evidence that the candidacy of J. W. Fesler for the republican nomination for governor of Indiana was carefully "framed” by the republican organization is afforded by the announcement that Ed Schmidt, corporation handy man and employe of the republican national committee, Is to manage the Fesler campaign in conjunction with Schuyler Haas, another national committee hireling. Fesler, it should be remembered, was first introduced as a candidate for the nomination by the Indianapolis News, whose "proprietor,” "publisher” or. whatever, recently escaped trial for fraud in connection with an ownership statement of the News. The next step was the calling of the republican state committee into a session from which Felser made formal announcement of his candidacy. Immediately thereafter Haas became so enamored of Fesler’s candidacy that he announced his intention of placing all his time at Fesler’s disposal. Now, the mysteriously-owned organ of the republican committee announced that Schmidt, also, will manage the Fesler campaign. . All of which goes to show that Fesler will dance to whatever music the News manipulatory play, whether they play it from the office on Washington street, the federal court room or Joe Healing's suite in the Indiana Trust building. Schmidt, as a manager, was not acceptable to Edgar Bush, to whom his services were first offered. But he will be entirely satisfactory to Fesler, to whom he is no stranger. Schmidt’s last real job was as a receiver for the Central Union Telephone company. Fesler won some notoriety as an attorney for the Merchant’s Heat and Light company. Both gentlemen have had corporation experience in Indianapolis and In their several capacities have cooled their heels outside the office of Dick Smith of the News, from which they have in the past and doubtless will in. the future take their orders in much the same manner as Will Hays was accustomed to taking his when he was confining his four-flushing to Indiana. What a spontaneous demand for Mr. Fesler there has been created among the republicans of Indiana! There’s Will Hays, who wants him nominated bad enough to spare him two hirelings instead of one. There’s the News gang, who want him to sit in the governor’s chair so bad they can swallow him and all his affiliations. There’s the state committee, which wants him nominated so earnestly that It Is willing to indorse his candidacy by being present when he announces his willingness to run. There’s Chuckhole Charlie/ Jewett, who sees in his candidacy a chance jto rehabilitate his own standing with Marion county republicans. And. last but not least, it is reliably reported that there is ti voter without attachment to the state or national organization pay roll, down at Bloomington, who rises to voice a loud sentiment for Fesler. A Confession In a letter to legislators who have not been prompt to fall for the gag session of the the republican state committee frankly admit that one year after the convening of the last session of the legislature, “we seem no dearer ready to take up any other question of importance that might bfe considered by a special session” of that same legislature. Thus do we have to substantiate our own judgment, a confession of Inability to keep abreast of the times from the very heart of the republican party. • Herein lies a confession, in either shame or despair, that the same Goodrich interests, which compelled tho enactment of the tax, law, with all its monstrous inequities, and which saddled on the state the public highway commission, with its prediction for cement and its $23,000 a month payroll, still ride the republican party and control its destiny. Herein lies a confession that all which the Goodrich administration tas "put across” must be condoned, and approved, and, above all, preserved. Where is the independence that used to make the republican party enticing to the young man? What has become of the spirit that, long ago, kept the republican party from falling into the clutches of the money-changers? .When did the rank and file of the republican party dedicate to its organization the light and privilege of declaring what the party as a whole must accept and abide with? ' Congratulations! Congratulations, Miss Julia Landers! Your refusal to serve as a chestnut raker for the republican state committee in the ranks of the franchise league of Indiana is a refreshing indication that the spirit of independence which sustained the women of Indiana throughout their long struggle for suffrage has not yet faded from the state. Your resignation as a member of the legislative committee, offered as a protest against the complete surrender of that committee to the manipulations of Hays, Goodrich, et ah, will not be in vain. It will stand out in contrast to the meek .and humble manner in which others are now following the trail blazed by Miss Edwards and Mrs. Butler, with the money of the national and the state organizations. It proves to those who had begun to doubt that not even In their zeal for the cause to which .they have given so much will all the women of the state enter into gfcirgains with the scheming politicians of the republican party in Indiana. And when suffrage has been" obtained by your sex, as it will be obtained regardless of what Goodrich and others do, you will have the satisfaction qf knowing that on your yellow badge there is no stain left W qonbact with the noisomeneea-ofthe Hfys-Ooodrioh machine,

PcOll Adventure-s 1l *1 feXPI OF THE- TWINS jy Olive Roberta* Barton „ DOWN THE CHIMNEY. TTP OUT of the stump came words, like this: "Oh, please, let me go. Please!” Then some more words. "No, indeed, I won’t! You stay where you are.” $ "If you’ll just let me go, I’ll —I’ll send you some candy next Christmas.” t _ * "Next Christmas! And where do you think you’ll be next Christmas?” There wasn’t any answer and the twins got more and more curious. ' “Maybe it’s Jocko!” said Nancy. “Perhaps he’s a prisoner.” “00-ee!” cried Nick. "Maybe.” Then they discovered a hole- “Why, it’s a chimney, I di believe!” exclaimed Nancy. “Here’s some soot. Let s go down.” “Please,” Daddy Long Legs was begging, "I didn’t go to spoil your pie.” So the green shoes made them very, very small, and, making sure the magical mushroom was safe In Nancy’s pocket, down they started. Near the bottom they began to smell the most delicious smells you ever smelled—l mean they ever smelled. And when they got all the way down such a funny sight met their eyes they nearly fell Into the soup. Mrs. Woodchuck was getting dinner. And poor Daddy Long Legs was sticking right in the middle of a custard pie! He must have fallen down the chimney. His high hat was on one side of his head and his cane was sticking up in the air beside him. "Please,” ha was begging. "I didn’t go to spoil your pie. I was hunting the barber shop when I fell down. I never heard of people having chimneys right in the_mlddle of the street.” "Well, if you want out, swim out,” said Mrs. Woodchuck. "You’vo spoiled my pie.” “The custard’s setting and I can’t,” begged Daddy. "Now, if I had a broom straw —” Nancy and Nick stole quietly up the chimney again. They had seen a little gleam in Mrs, Woodchuck's eye and knew she was only giving Daddy a scare. —Copyright, 1920.

Flying Destroyers Go 140 Knot Clip LONDON, Jan. 13.—Destroyers which can plow through the seas at seventy miles an hour, and then at the approach of an enemy battleship could spread their wings and make 140 miles an hour in the air, were predicted as a future practical development of sea fighting by Rear-Admiral Adair before the house of commons. Admiral Adair, who is manager of Messrs. Beardrnoro A Co.’s ordnance factory, Is a recognized authority on the scientific side of naval work, especially gunnery. He also predicted an aerial battleship.

; —HOW TO MAKE GOOD Want To Be A Genius? THOMAS A. EDISON TELLS As Reported by B. C. FORBES, Editor of Forbas’ Magazine.

You and I think of Inventors as geniuses who suddenly are hit by a brilliant Idea from out tho air and forthwith ; patent It in workable form. We picture ■ them as eccentric fellows who for the most part sit around waiting for a stroke of Inspiration. Edison is not of that type. He angrily resents being called a genius or a wizard |or a magician. "Genius la 1 per cent ! inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration,” he declares. “The three great essentials | to achieve anything worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-tQ-ltlve-jness; third, common sense.” Edison Is acclaimed as the world's greatest inventor. After he had achieved i success as an Inventor and manufacturer, he deliberately dropped everything else and adopted Invention for his profession •nd life work, In 1876. After that he simply had to make good or 'become a laughing stock. Edison made good. TRIES THOUSANDS OF WAYS TO BUCCKED. He Is also the'world’s greatest experimenter. He tries thousands and thousands of ways—sometimes 50.000—t0 do a thing, and never quits, even should It

BOTTLE FEEDING FOR BABIES. When the doctor decides that breast I feeding can not be carried out, cow’s milk is the most satisfactory substitute for mother's milk. Tho best milk (this does not mean the richest milk) is none too good. Get “certified” milk if possible. If you can not obtain certified milk, get. the. cleanest and purest bottled milk; you can find, preferably milk. Milk sold In bulk, or bottled! from the can In stores or by milkmen ; In their wagons/ Is likely to be stale and contaminated and not a proper food for the baby, even though It looks and tastes good. Raw milk may carry the germs of tu- j berenlosls, scarlet fever, tonsilltis, diphtheria, typhoid feger and otbpr communicable dieases. Unless certified milk Is used, this danger should be prevented by | buying pasteurized milk or by pasteurizing or scalding tho milk at home. Pasteurizing means heating the milk to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit for thirty minutes and then rapidly cooling it. ANSWERS. Q. I suffer from a skin eruption, resembling hives, but much -worse and lasting for months. The entire family, Including the children, has it. What shall I do? A. It Is difficult to say. but your trouble may be scabies; otherwise kt.o r rn ns the “itch.” By all means call on a doctor and follow his advice. Q. What Is there to cure boils on a child 7 years of age? A. Tho bolls should, of course, be opened and the pus let out. Recurrences can often be prevented by careful attention to the cleanliness of the skin, and by keeping the child away from those who have any form of pus trouble, such as an open sore. In some cases a kind of vaccine treatment seems to be of value.

take ten years, until ha has either found a way or proved conclusively that it can not be done. *• Edison has worked harder and slept less than any other great man In history —he worked continuously, without a moment's sleep, for five days and five nights while perfecting the phonograph. He has conducted more experiments than any other human being. He has taken out upward of 100 patents in one year and has secured a grand total of over 1-000 patents, a record unapproached by any other Individual In this country or abroad. Hs has tasted the bitterest defeats and lost all his money time and again. He spent five solid years and over $2,000,000 creating a plan and a plant to extract ores by magnets from powdered rock, only to find that the discovery of unlimited quantities of rich Mesaba ore rendered his whole process profitless and It had to be abandoned, leaving him grievously In debt, but unbroken In • Dtrit. PATIENCE ONE OF HIS STRONGEST POINTS. If after thousand* of attempts, the expenditure of thousands of dollars, and the apparent waste of precious years, he hag only failure for his reward, he does not complain, he does not feel downcast. When his assistants commiserate with him and themselves on the futility of all their plans, Edison %'ill cheerfully reprimand them thus: “Our work has not been in vain; our experiments have taught us a lot. Wo have demonstrated that It can not be done. Isn't that .something. Now let’s take up the next thing.” Remonstrated with once for not relaxing his labors and devoting part of his life to recreation and amusement, Edison replied, not so very long ago: “I already hnve a schedule worked out. From now until I am 75 years of ego, I expect to keep more or less busy with my regular work, not, however, working as many hours or as hard as l have In the past. At 76 T expect to wear loud waistcoats with fancy buttons, also gaiter tops; at 80 I expect to learn how to play bridge whist and talk foolishly to the ladles. At 85 I expect to wear a full dresz suit every evening at dinner, and at 90—well, I never plan for more than thirty years ahead.” DENVER TO PROBE PROFITEERS. DENVER. Jan. 13. —A special grand Jury Investigation of profiteering will be called in Denver within the next week, according to announcement today from the office of United States District Attorney Harry B.

Declares. Suit Gave Wrong Impression Editor The Times—To correct a wrongful report, I desire to say that much of what appeared recently in the newspapers about our family trouble was erroneous. I was In delicate health and felt very unhappy. My husband was away from home nearly all the time, his work requiring him to travel over the state. Upon the unwise, advice of an attorney, I signed an affidavit charging him with neglect andj nonsupport of his family. The attorney said that the affidavit was only a matter of form. I now see that I should not have signed it. because, in truth, I had no such charges to make. When my husband came home and we talked matters over, I decided to with draw the complaint. This I tried to do, ut without success. Then in the hearing I stated that I had no fault to find as to support or care of the family. The court, however, questioned into our family affairs, and some of the reporters gave sensational and inaccurate reports to their papers. This, in brief, is a true account of what happened. I may add that our baby was born just ten days later. I shrink from makiug this public statement. because I do not think that per-
