A NEGRO EMPLOYED by the city was sentenced to serve ninety days on the penal farm for larceny. What is going to happen? \ EVERY NATION in the world is convinced that it is the duty of every other nation to settle down and increase production. A HEADLINE READS: “What the Stars Say About Hoover." It could not begin to compare with what some of his boosters are saying.' POULTRY MEN are planning to break the hens’ union and bring about increased production. And they don’t even contemplate a strike. TWO SUICIDES in ten days at the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane are a good example of the results of the decreased payrolls of which Gov. Goodrich boasts. Such occurances probably would have been avoided if a few more attendants had been retained. “What’s the Constitution— My conviction is that if we can meet, pass the necessary emergency matters, and adjourn without undue delay, that the special session will not only result in no injury to the party, but will actually strengthen It.—Gov. Goodrich In letter to members of legislature. # Such a statement mahes comment almost unnecessary. It is a frank expression of Gov. Goodrich's point of view, and the point of view of the republican party toward the proposed special session. It puts in words what the governor and the state committee have been displaying by their actions; namely, that the public welfare is not being considered, that the only question deemed worthy of consideration is what effect a session would have on the republican party. It is not to be a special session for the welfare of the people—and this is the only reason given in the constitution for the calling of a special session—but it is to be a session for the welfare of the republican party. The inference is clear: If the party will suffer, no session will be called; if the party will benefit, a session will be called. The governor encloses with his letter a list setting out proposed legislation. Os the measures suggested, no less than five must be taken up for the purpose of correcting mistakes of the Goodrich administration. There can be no dispute concerning this many, at least It Is to these measures that the governor is giving most of his attention. He Is endeavoring to determine whether their consideration by the legislature will damage or benefit the party and himself. The republican state committee reached the decision that a session would damage the party. Consequently, they, asked the governor not to call such a. session. The public welfare was not mentioned. The task of making a decision was placed in the hands of the governor, with the understanding that he would take into consideration the fact that the state committee believes a session would be bad for the party. In his letter to members of the legislature he frankly states his attitude. He believes the state committee is wrong, providing the assembly will agree to consider only what he wishes it to consider.
Here are some of the measures he wishes it to consider: The making of the necessary appropriation to enable the state institutions to finish the biennial period. The correction of the county-unit road law to replace the sections of the law that were left out by the enrolling clerk of the senate. The restoring to the county auditors and treasurers the per diem for services on the equalization boards, which was, by mistake, taken from them by the tax law. Proposed amendments to the tax law. A bill repealing the law passed by the last general assembly amending the drainage law and affecting Noble, Lagrange and Steuben counties. Every one of these measures are admittedly made necessary by mismanagement under the Goodrich /administration. The governor asks that these mistakes be corrected. He believes that their correction will not only result in no injury to the party but will actually strengthen it," provided the assembly goes no farther. The strange part about the whole affair is that the governor .Is not given authority under the constitution to call a special session of the legislature when the welfare of the republican party demands it. In fact, the constitution makes no reference to the republican party. All it has to say about the calling of a special session is this: “If, In the opinion of the governor, the publio welfare shall require it, he may, at any time, by proclamation, call a special Session.” The Corn Cob Pipe History moves in cycles. So the corn cob pipe. It’a coming back to popularity. One finds it on the street, in the workshop, behind the polished doors of the bank directors’ rooms. It is an old friend, returning in ltß old dress. The reason? Just because, perhaps. Increased—inflated prices of cigars some charge—have driven thousands of cigar smokers back to the pipe. And pipe smokers know that there is none so sweet as the Missouri meerschaum. Ir, for decades', has been the fisherman’s standby, and the hunter’s, and the outdoorman’s in general. The briar, the meerschaum, and pipes of various clays and woods have their following. But any of these devotees are glad, once in awhile to pick up one of Mark Twain’s favorite bowls, load her up to the top, and pull for the shore. The corn cob pipe is cheap in price, but Is worth a potentate’s pocket when it comes to solid comfort Watch the corn cob pipes go by. Stop, Look, Listen About 1,500 persons were killed at railroad crossings in the United States last year. Most of them were in automobiles. Some didn’t look; others didn’t listen, and very many tried to beat the train across the tracks. Men waste hours and hoard seconds. A fellow will loaf all day and then risk his life in his hurry to cross a congested street, or race across a track ahead of a train to save a minute! It’s a poor sort of thrift What’s the hurry? It’s better to get there late than not at all. Everybody knows this, of course! But the headline that tells of a family wiped out at a railroad crossing has become a commonplace of the day’s news. “Stop, look, listen!” is the classic among snappy slogans. Everybody knows it by heart, but nearly everybody forgets it when he needs it most. Grasshopper Chinks “Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink whilst thousands of great cattle repose beneath the shadow of the oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not Imagine that those who make the noise are the only Inhabitants of the field; pray do not imagine that, of course, they are many in numbers; or that, after all, they are other than the little, shriveled, meager, hopping, though loud and troublesome insects of the field.’’—Burke. That’s what you are hearing in the land today. Your bolshevist Is loudly Articulate; your anarchist is rampant. But the leaders of labor, the thousands of men scattered over this country who are powerful in the individual unions, refuse to ring the blue welkin with cries for revolution and blood. Under the great oak of .democracy they stand, quiet and content to do their part in the orderly evolution of American freedom —the certain, sure evolution that will bring more freedom politically, Industrially, socially, to every man under the American stars. Let the grasshoppers chink!
AS OTHERS SEE IT A SPECIAL SESSION. Gov. Goodrich has so few pleasures, as Mr. Dooley would say, that it seems cruel for the republican state committee to. deprive him of the Joy of having the state legislature summoned in special session. Throughout his entire term, Mr. Goodrich has either been at the point of summoning a special session or of announcing that he had decided not to call one. Why the republican chieftains are so afraid of having the legislature meet is difficult to understand. Both houses are republican and the lower house overwhelmingly so. Why then should they so distrust their own people? The democrats have said that the less the stateJs Inflicted with the preseent legbetter off It is. The republicans apparently think the same thing.— Evansville Courier. REPUDIATED. "Goodricblsm” is getting in such bad repute that even his republican state committee refused Thursday to gulp down his policy of a second extra session of the legislature. His state committee repudiated his session and voted not to have one. It did not wnht one. It was afraid of It. The republican state committee sees the unpopularity of “Goodrichism.” It hears and knows the knocks on it. It knows the voters are intelligent and can not be deceived and cajoled or driven into the support of some of the Goodrich policies. The voters are in open rebellion against his tax law and Its administration. Two gubernatorial candidates In the republican primary—Mr. Bush and Mr. McCray—openly defy and repudiate the governor's dictation. And now conies his party's state committee and declines to accept his former announcement of a second special session. Goodrich Is now traveling Jordan’s rocky political road.— , Anderson Bulletin.
TAXPAYERS PAY. The republican state central committee and candidates for governor held a meeting at Indianapolis, Thursday, to arrange a program for a special session of the legislature. The Idea in calling another special session at the expend of the public Is to rectify some of the blunders made by the regular session a year ago, and go before the people In better shape at the next election. And thus the taxpayers of the Rtate will be called upon to meet the high cost of "party expediency.”— Bloomington Star. Romance of Gems Gems of great value have always carried a romance. The tragedy of htstoric stones; the malign fates that seem to hover over them; the seas of blood they have caused to flow are the of legend and verse since history’s dawn. Take the strange story of the Tabor diamond; a great big eight-carat gem whose history Is lost back in musty pages of English history; perhaps one time the crown Jewel of an Indian rajah t brought to England by some mighty lord. Anyway, It became known as the Tabor diamond, when Senator H. A. W. Tabor of Colorado brought It to this country. A few months ago It was sold to a Pacific coast movie magnate who figured that dlamonda were to he Worn, and j though the stone set him hack for I $15,000, -wear It he did. And upon him one evening descended a couple of youthful bandits who Rtrlpped him of his eight carat ring, and hta other possessions, and drove away In his nice shiny roadster, even taking along the basket of fancy groceries he was taking home. Next morning the roadster was found with a bare ted tire In the suburbs, and a litter of sacks and packages and lunch crumbs In the car showed that the bandits had feasted. And by chance, In dusting out the debris, the big diamond was found. Evidently the highwaymen had decided if was too big to he anything hut glass and had thrown It aside; a ham sandwich and half a dozen fresh doughnuts came nearer filling the void. A long Jump surely from a rajah's diadem to the sneer of a boy- bandit, munching crackers In a gas chariot.

Says City Will Get Big Advertising What the Indianapolis centennial celebration in June will mean to Indianapolis. By FRED HOKE, of Holcomb & Hoke Manufacturing Company. A fitting celebration of Indianapolis’ first 100 years of progress will <do much to “sell” the city at home and abroad as a good city in which to live and work and grow. Between 5,000 and 8,000 soriousminded business men from all parts of the nation will be attending the world’s advertising convention here when the city celebrates its centennial. The centennial celebration will do much to “sell” those men on the many advantages of Indianapolis.

It may he done as follows: The milk should be mixed and poured into the clean feeding bottles, which should then he stopped with clean, nonabsorbent cotton. It Is then ready for pasteurization. While a number of satisfactory pasteurizers may he bought In the shops, a home-made pasteurizer can be easily constructed. Take a wire basket that will hold the six or seven bottles used for twenty-four hours and place this basket containing the bottles In a tin bucket of cold water filled to a point a little above the level of the milk, lleat the water and allow It to boll for five minutes. Then s-’f it to one side for ten minutes more, after which run cold water Into the hucket until the milk is cooled to the temperature of the running water. The milk Is then put into tho 100 chest, which should not be warmer than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. If the baby’s milk Is to bo mixed with other Ingredients, such ss oatmeal, barley water, rice water, augur, etc., ttfeae should he added to tho milk before pasteurization. When the milk Is once prepared tho bottle should not be opened until It Is given to the baby. ANSWER. Q last spring I had scarlet fovor. and since then my knees have hurt me dreadfully.

The Peso What If the pound sterling the franc, the lire, have dropped In value as measured by the good old United States dollar? What If this does mean a tightening up of exports to Europe? What Is there In that to make this country throw up Its hands in- despair and sit around Idle until Europe gets busy producing again? Consider the peso! Read this: “The Argentine gold peso Is at a premium of per cent over the American dollar * • *. An unusually large sum v of gold is being shipped to South America, mostly to Argentina, In view of the continuous exportation of Argentina products to the United States.” This was happening when the pound sterling, the franc and the lire were hitting new low levels In the New York money market. And while a lot of Amerj Iran manufacturers and exporters were I predicting a halt In exportations and a | consequent slowing up In American manuj fneturing Industries. ! If the United States can not sell to | Europe, why not sell to Argentina? 1 Argentina Isn’t a manufacturing country. |lt buys products of mills and shops. It j sells foods and raw materials. We are ! buying more from her than we sell to her. That’s why the peso is higher-priced than the dollar below the equator. If it becomes necessary to let the pound sterling catch up with the dollar, why not use that time to chase the dollar up even with the peso of Argentine? The United States never hsd a better time to nail down South American trade than now, and probably,, it will be a mighty long time until the chance comes again. ' | Apple Pie One of the sad things in the grow!ng living costs Is the higher price of pie. And especlslly of good, honest, open-faced apple pie. And one of the very best ways to spoil apple pie is to try to cut It Into too many pieces. Naturally, apple pie pans are just large enough so that a pie can be nicely quartered. But the way the restaurant people have standardized things they have a pie cutter that exactly divides to the fraction of an Inch Into six pieces. And j that Isn't all. For the price Is twice what It used to be for not nearly so much pie. Still, the pie makers are honest about It. They say that the price of applet and flour and lard and labor has advanced. And the army of pie eaters have to set- ; ! tie. America Is a land of pie eaters. Its People like "all kinds." But they have a penchant for the apple kind that mother makes -crispy crust and apple fat, Juice-filled and Joyous. Knowing how to bake apple pie* has won many a woman a home. It is too had that Its lovers have to pay more for it.
WATER, NOT RUM, FOR HIS SUSO Buyer's Fear Aided Fakers in • Deal . NEW YGRK March 4 Jacob Splfzer, formerly a saloon proprietor, told Msgls trsto SHberm:m |n the Morrlsanla court of the deception he said had been prac Heed upon him by two men describing themselves ns John Butteil and Arthur Larsen. Spltzer complained that on Jar. 9 the couple offered him fifty-one barrels of excellent liquor at $27 a gallon,. The next day, so he testified, ths men drove up with the barrels and. fearing thrt they might attract notice from the p..- i lice, he turned over $1,850 without wal;. Ing to sample the contents, which he dis I covered later to be Croton water. The court held P.uttell and Larsen In $1,500 hall each for examination on a charge of grand larceny. According to the police, the defendants admit deliver lug th barrels, but say $25 was paid : to them for doing so by an unidentified man known to them as "Red.” The money received from SUberman was turned over tc their employer, they assert.
