AND AT THAT, $2.50 is a pretty good price to pay for most political indorsements. * SOME SIGN PAINTER ought to get rich making up “Road Closed’' signs for use in Marion county. MR. HOFFMAN is also among those who hare "declined*’ a senatorial nomination that was never tendered to him. THOSE Vincennes army shoe profiteers ought to breathe easier now. Stanley Wyckoff says he is going to “watch ’em.’* TEARING DOWN HOUSES that are habitable 1b one fine way of maintaining the present level of rents, anyhow. NEVER MIND, boys, Jim Goodrich will be back home next week and he is the world’s greatest pardoning governor. WHO ever would have thought Mr. Tighe was sufficiently interested in the high cost of living to have made an Investigation of wholesale prices? WE DECLINE to he drawn into any controversy as to whether golf is a rich man’s or a poor man’s game. We can get more real exercise out of a good argument anyhow. MR. WYCKOFF will find many who agree that merchants should be permitted to sell at replacement valuations, but hqw is that going to reduce the high cost of living? WHILE THE PUBLIC 1b interested in the expenditures of the Wood managers, the News is Industriously starting a backfire about the high coet of the Lowden campaign. IN OTHER WORDS, Mr. Saßee wants it understood that the state committee has held no secret session in the office of any republican newspaper for the purpose of selecting a candidate for senator. THE NEWS says of a political platform, “from the standoplnt of giving advance Information as to what may be expected of candidates, If elected, it is still largely a false prophet.” We wonder if this is said In contemplation of Gov. Goodrich’s old platform or in prophecy concerning Feeler’s? t Adams Is Responsible Justice Rainey of Irvington can not see why people are jumping on him because constables are bringing Into his court motorists from another township who are charged with violation of the motor laws. We agree with Justice Rainey that it is difficult to understand why people are jumping on him —particularly him. , He can not adjudicate a case until it Is brought into his court. He does not make arrests and he aoes not prosecute defendants. He does, however, act on those cases when they are brought before him and he doubtless has the ability to stop the presentation of them. But the real offender of common decency in these justice court proceedings is none other than our ‘‘good government” prosecutor, whose office reaps a fee of $5 for every conviction in these cases and without whose active assistance no conviction could be obtained. Mr. Claris Adams, who some time ago was pointing to “his record” as sufficient guaranty that there wohld be no republican candidate against him and who later decided not to run for re-election, could, if he did not want fees so badly, put a stop to such prosecutions as those of which complaint is made. His office reaps the greatest benefit of these cases and his policy is responsible for them. We are sometimes moved to regret that Mr. Adams did not seek renomination. It would be a real pleasure to see the repudiation of his 'Tecord” that he has earned so well fall upon his fee-burdened shoulders Toward An Ideal In a recent interview with William G. McAdoo, Bruce Bliven. a New York editor, uncovered the sentiments that make Mr. McAdoo so popular with the men and women of this country who work with their hands. The sentiments expressed will be read with amazement by many of the old-line politicians of this state who are given to glittering generalities on all the subjects of the day and would not be able to give expression to a modern thought if they had one. They are predicated on observations of society that are carefully overlooked by most politicians and are viewed as unwise by others. But Me McAdoo says: “The strongest indictment of the present organization of society Is the poverty of the common people, which is found In every country today. • “Militarism has been one of the principal causes of poverty. 1 hope the war has really destroyed militarism. The victory is an empty one if it has not. “Prevailing discontent rests upon the firm conviction of those who toil that they are not getting a fair share of the fruits of their labor. This is true of the farmer as well as of the laboring man, and of that great class of salaried men and women who are having a hard struggle to make both ends meet. “Every worker should have a large enough wage or salary to provide a decent standard of living for himself and his family and be able by the exercise of reasonable thrift and industry to lay aside something for his old age. This Is not possible today for large numbers even in America. We hear a great deal about high wages, and we forget that high prices absorb in many cases the entire increase and more than the increase. It is also true that there is a tendency to regard the few instances where there has been an exceptional increase In wages as typical. “But let us turn our minds to some conspicuous cases of underpayment. Look at the poor teachers and ministers of the gospel all over the land, who perform Inestimable services and are the worsb paid. It is a grave abuse and a reflection upon our intelligence and humanity to treat these splendid servants as we do. “In general, the rewards which go to those who do the least to aid in the productive processes are abnormally large. It is our task to seek Xpr a more equitable distribution. This should not merely improve the condition of those who work with their hands. It. should Include all who contribute to Industry, whether with hand or brain. Perhaps It will never be possible to achieve social justice, but we can always work toward that ideal.” Admits Injustice The Muncie Press is a “standpat” exponent of the theories of Goodrichism and centralization. It still asserts that George B. Lockwood of Washington, D. C., is its editor and general manager and it has never attempted to explain the question of its ownership that was raised when It was discovered that among the assets of the late Charles Warren Fairbanks was a note given by Lockwood. Sufficient for identification. It’s what a paper stands for that counts more than what it is. The Muncie is now attempting to defend the Goodrich tax law and it sayß: “Where complaint is made of an increase in the taxes on certain property it will be discovered almost invariably that the valuation of such property has increased out of all proportion to the advance in taxes and that increase of one kind is offset by a decrease elsewhere.” TOIb is precisely the indictment against the present tax law. The conBtltetion says that property should be assessed equally and the manipulate*® made possible by this law have resulted in everything else but equal assessments. property owner who finds that although his tax levy has been redneed, his taxes have been trebled, finds poor solance in the fact that sdap-other taxpayer has profited Immensely by a reduction of taxes. For example, the taxpayers of Washington township, Marion county, that their land had been assessed for double what they paid j ean hardly be expected to become enthusiastic over the law merely I became c-they are informed that somewhere in the state there are farmers BrtCMefaupsy- less. -, * j '
’ Bryan on Criir.o Among a large number of excellent things that William Jennings Bryan said ’n the coarse of hla three talks at Ft. Wayne recently was the following. “I Just read in an Indiana newspaper an editorial that upholds crime. The editorial in question, was defending Senator Newberry, who has been convicted of a crime and has been sentenceed to the "penitentiary for that crime. Now, the one who advices a crime or defendsa crime is just as bad as the criminal himself; a man who advises or upholds murder is just as bad as the murderer himself. Senator -Newberry ought to be ( punished for the crime he committed, and the man who upholds him or defends him for the crime ho has committed has no business condemning any anarchist or disloyalist. "Law la the expression of the will of the people; if our laws are bad, the thing to do Is not to break these laws but to have them repealed. If Senator Newberry didn’t like the laws undet which he was convicted In Michigan, hr should have tried to have those laws repealed instead of going out and breaking them. We are In more need of lews like the one he violated than we are In laws to punish thieves. “Every law expresses the will of the people, for the people make our laws. If a United States senator has the right to violate the laws, how can you expect a bootlegger to have any respect sot the law? We must respect laws bo cause they are laws. “If the United States senate permits Mr. Newberry to retain his seat while he stands before the nation convicted ns' a criminal, they make themselves lower than the public thought them to be.”

TWO WAYS OPEN TO SETTLE SENATORIAL NOMINATION
The statement of A. C. Sallee, democratic state chairman, that the state committee has not.offered the place on the democratic ticket left open by the withdrawal of Thomas Taggart as * candidate for the democratic nomination for United States senator to any one has ended stories that the committee has decided whom it will place on the ticket when it meets tomorrow. Under the circumstances there are two things the committee can do: First, It can reinstate Mr. Taggart as the party's candidate for senator, or, H ean nomihate anew candidate. Those who are actively in the race are Samuel M. Foster of Ft. Wayne, John C. Snyder of Crawfordsvllle, and Bernard B. Shively of Marlon. The committee, in all probability, will consider the advisability of placing Mr. Taggart's name on the ballot, despite the fact that he withdrew after a petition was filed asking that his name be placed In the list of candidates. This action would make It necessary for Mr. Taggart’s name to go on the ballot, no matter what bis choice might be in the matter. He would thus be required to remain in the race until after the primary election, when he will have an opportunity to withdraw, leaving the choice of a candidate to the stats convention. Mr. Foster has given his friends to understand that he will accept the nomination If It Is offered to him. At the present time he Is the only candidate for the democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. If he la named as the candidate for senator it will be necessary for the state
committee to name a candidate for lientenant governor. Friends of Mr. Foster at Ft. w ayne bad, for a long time been urging him to become a candidate for the sen.tr, bnt the entrance of Mr. Taggart Into the race put an end so the Foster bom, as It put an end to the booms of numerous other candidates. r - I ' os * ; ® r prominent in business at Ft.

der In this capacity la the freight rate controversy between Indiana and Illinois. Under bln direction the state Chamber of Commerce, with other organizations, carried the case to the interstate commerce commission, obtaining a decision which businesi men estimate will mean millions to Indiana shippers. Mr. Snyder was born in Middletown, 0., In 1866, and at the age, of 6 years came to Indiana with his parents, settling st Crawfordsvllle, where he. spent his boyhood. After a few years’ residence at rvansas City and Chicago, where his business called him, Mr. bnyder returned to take up his residence In Crnwfordsvllle, where he has resided continuously for the iast twenty-two years.

He Is now practicing law at Marion. Investigate! | The demand of Klauss for an extra session of the legislature to meet the flnen-. rial necessities of the state exposes most impressively the condition of the "business administration” of the "business governor.” The state auditor evidently does not intend to violate the laws tow the purpose of covering a perfectly rotten condition. The extra session now seems assured. When it Is called there should be a number of investigations -nto serious charge* that have been openly made against the state administration, and laws should be enacted to better protect the pubUc rights and the pnbllc’s dignity,—Laporte Argus.
