I 1 " ~ HOOVER calls Austria a perpetual poorhouse. - At that, it can never fall lower than the house of Hapsburg. ITALIAN SOCIALISTS allege that we* persecute their fellows over here. We do speak roughly at times, if they use too many bombs. AND NOW when a man reaches for his hip you can’t tell whether he is going for iron to kill you or wood to kill himself. FIVE Indiana congressmen have declined to sign the Goodrich-for-president petition. At last Indiana has succeeded in getting some representation in Washington. THE NUMBER of publicity men with whom J. W. Fesler is surrounding himself indicates that he feels the necessity of expert advice in presenting his boom for governor. Our Spineless Prosecutor Clem Thistlethwaite, manager of the Pearson drug store, assures The Times that immediately on hearing the verdict of the jury in the case against Louis and Julius Haag, in which it was held that a druggist may not sell whisky even on he ceased making such sales and has not since filled prescriptions for whisky. He says further that the 800 or more liquor prescriptions that were filled by his store between July 1 and October 22, the date of the Haag verdict, did not represent a trade which he sought or had previously, but combined the trade of his own store with that which was directed to him I by other druggists, who had no supplies of these intoxicants. Mr. Thistlethwaite contends that he acted in good faith in the filling of prescriptions for intoxicants sent him by supposedly reputable physicians. He says he was advised by attorneys that the business was legal, and he points out that never, prior to a few hours before the finish of the Haag trial, did Prosecutor Adams assume that the sale of anything .other than grain alcohol by prescriptions was illegal in Indiana. For these reasons, Mr. Thistlethwaite contends, he does not feel that he should be prosecuted for keeping a “blind tiger,” and he points out that if he did violate the liquor law the violations were not wilful nor defiant, and he demonstrated his good faith in stopping the business when it was determined that such sales were in violation of law. There appears to be merit in Mr. Thistlethwaite’s contention. Assum-1

mg, and there appears to be no reason for any other assumption, that he was acting in good faith, it would appear that if he violated the liquor law there is no one person more responsible for the violation that Prosecutor Adams, himself. It is true, as Mr. Thistlethwaite says, that Prosecutor Adams never did contend that sales of whisky, by prescription, were illegal, prior to the last day of the Haag trial. It is an even question whether this contention then came from Mr. Adams or whether it was forced upon him by others interested in the case. Be that as it may, Mr. Thistlethwaite’s defense of the sale of liquor before the public (for he has not yet been called on to defend it in court), is plainly that Adams, sworn to enforce the laws, allowed an erroneous interpretation of that law to prevail. The public official, charged with a knowledge of the law, Willingly negligently permits it to be violated, is no better than the law violator. Mr. Adams can neither explain his laxity in regard to these drug store cases, nor can he, at this date, become active relative to them without calling attention to his neglect of the months that have passed. This neglect stamps him as the man he is. too spineless to enforce the law' he is sworn to uphold. “Fat in the Fire” The “fat is in the fire” in the republican ranks in Indiana Goodrich has, by his endeavor to. create a “spontaneous demand” for his entrance in the presidential race, so aroused the friends of James E. Watson that they are out in the open, declaring they will never vote for Goodrich for president and will welcome the candidacy of any man who can defeat Goodrich in his own state. Naturally, these republicans are turning to Gen. Leonard Wood as the man most likely to attract the anti-Goodrich support. This does not, however, mean that they are enthusiastic supporters of Wood. They are for Wood rather than Goodrich, but they are first of all against Goodrich. This situation has been brought about by the utter disregard of Goodrich for the rank and file of the republican party. It is the direct result of the efforts of the governor, throughout three years of planning, to build up a personal machine in Indiana of sufficient size to enable him to capture the national delegation. The revolt is the answer of the republicans of this state to the challenge issued by Goodrich to all lovers of good government when, in 1919, he paroled 509 convicts from the state institutions and when, after criticism of his actions had become general, he made a trip to the state institutions driven by a convicted murderer whom he paroled from the penitentiary for the express purpose of causing him, under a practical peonage, to perform the duties of a chauffeur for the governor of Indiana. Goodrich has done many impolitic things in his term as governor. He has brought upon his shoulders a storm of protest against his garbage plant deal with Mayor Jewett’s administration; against his use of convicts on a mine in which his son is interested and in which he was interested; against his wholesale pardoning and paroling of convicts; against his highway commission’s fondness for isolated roads and cement construction; against his purchasing agent’s coal contracts with his business associates; against his public service commission’s favoring of companies in w'htch he was interested; against his tax board and its favoritisms. To all these protests he has turned a deaf ear. He has assumed that with the vast amount of patronage at his control he could purchase the support of the republicans of the state for his presidential boom. Goodrich, as the leader of his party, has been even more impolitic. He forced Jim Watson to forego presidential aspirations. He threatened Watson with defeat for senator. He demanded and obtained control of the state organization. He refused to share that control with Watson when the latter became an avowed candidate for senator and openly disclaimed any intention of pursuing presidential possibilities. He insisted that the republican party indorse his administration and nominate a candidate for governor pledged to maintain his machine and carry out his theories of government. All the time there was an undercurrent of opposition to him which he refused to heed. All the time there were warnings which he disregarded. Finally, against the advice of his best friends and in the face of the warnings from his opponents, Goodrich took the step which means his downfall in Indiana politics. He sought, with the aid of his great state administration machine and his control of the state organization, to make it appear that Indiana wanted him as a candidate for the presidency. Republicans love their party. They are willing to bear mudh in the name of the party. They have stifled their real sentiments many times in the interests of party harmony. ' But republicans also love their country. They can not be cajoled, bossed or coerced into doing that which would tend to break down the government of Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. The vision of Jim Goodrich attempting to fill the place that these three illustrious men struggled to fill in the years gone by was too much for them. Today the republicans of Indiana are saying to Jim Goodrich: “We fleeted you governor and lived to regret it. We would not be w'orthy of the franchise w'ere we to help etfect you president.” ' And all of this forces the issue in Indiana, 3n issue that the democrats of the state must realize and meet at n Km republican party can not possibly inominate a state -ticket that will inspire the confidence of the voters ofßndiana.

j HOW TO MAKE GOOD Reach Out for the Job Ahead By H. P. Davison, V Henry Pomeroy Davison advises: “I have found it a good system, not only to reach out and learn the work of the man ahead of you, but also to teach your job to the fellow below you.” Six months after- starting as receiving teller in the new Astor Place bank, Davison was promoted to the position on which he had first set his heart, that of paying teller. Dame Fortune sometimes plays queer pranks to accomplish her ends. Davison was “shof’into his next place. One day a crank pointed a revolver at Teller Davison’s head, presented a check for SI,OOO drawn to the order of the Almighty and demanded the money.' Davison coolly accepted the check, read it loud enough to attract notice and began to count out the money. Others grasped the situation, and while the gun was still 'cocked at Davison’s head, the bank detective seised the madman. The newspaper made much of the dramatic incident and of the teller’s selfpossession. The directors of the Liberty National bank happened to have a meeting that day and the holdup was mentioned. , \ T know that young fellow,’’ said Dumont Clarke, a director of the hank. "He would be a good man to have In the bank.” Forthwith Davison was installed as assistant cashier of the Liberty. Within a i year he was made cashier, three years later he was elected vice president, and in another year president. His rise was so rapid that it attracted gene-al attention. New York financial annals had contained few, if any, instances of a man of 32 being chosen as president of an important national bank solely on merit and without influence of any kind whatever. \ As Others See Us. In a letter from a careful reader, who evidently watches for expression of policy, the following paragraph is set out as hi§ conception of The Indiana Daily Times: “The Indiana Daily Times has and l* standing for the things that promote the | best interests in •-itizenship. Tt has and | is standing for the protection of the home. It is standing for honest government. It is standing for an open, fair contest in political affairs, and it is j against ‘boss’ rule ami boss’ domination of party. It believes the voters in the democratic party should, through their ; direct representatives, write the platforhi and nominate the candidates. The Indiana Dally Times is against darkroom methods. It is against the selection of candidates by private agreement and If the democrats of Indiana will accept the advice of The Indiana Dally Times and support their candidates that are not : afraid to make pre-election statements \ and insist on their statements being written into tbe platform, providing the candidates making the statement are selected, the party will be successful.” Where, Indeed? Editor The Times—Every once in a while someone of the political fossils whose minds dwell in the days of long j ago while their bodies continue to avail- i der In the present provoke my common sense by remarking that the democratic party of Indiana “hasn’t got a chance" this year. I don’t know whether to pity these men or kick them. I am Inclined to think It would be merciful to use chloroform on 'em. I am glad to see that The Times does not hold that opinion. May I ask a question: “Where else than the democratic party 1 is the republican win an not stand for Goodrich going to go iiils election?" Indianapolis. E. A. BABCOCK. j
