Miami ihrilg kitties INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Daily Except Sunday, 25 29 South Meridian Street. Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBER OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. Ad-ertising Offices —Chicago, Xew York, Boston, Detroit, G. Logan Payne Cos. —“THIS IS THE YEAR” — WITH WHOM should the railroads open negotiations for the settle ment of this unauthorized strike? MR. WASMUTH is also getting the habit of going to Washington to be interviewed on Indiana poliitics. THE ROLL CALL of Fesler’B managers reads like a roster of the Goodrich-Jewett administrations, and that’s enough for Marion county. MEANWHILE, MR. HITT might cease crying “it can’t be done" long enough to seek a way to meet the inevitable increases in tealieers' salaries. DID THE COUNTY COUNCIL pass that $250,000 appropriation for Sunnyside on the theory that the bonds could not be sold? If so, Leo K. Fesler is doomed to disappointment. MAYOR JEWETT says the repeal of the daylight savings law will reduce the amount of gardening. We congratulate the mayor on finding the city council not guilty. OTHER MUNICIPALITIES have found it profitable to mount old fire apparatus on trucks, but we presume Indianapolis would not be satisfied with anything short of new brass. Toner’s Veracity E. C. Toner’s denunciation of the machine methods by which the republican organization in Marion county is attempting to force the voters to accept J. W. Fesler as their eand’d-He for governor ts undoubtedly based on facts. No one can successfully deny that the Marion county chairman, surrounded by the office holders, is doing all in his power to make it appear that the only candidate for the republican nomination for governor who is desired in Marion county is Mr. Fesler. As Mr. Toner is an active candidate for the nomination, it is not strange that he should be offended at this officiousness. But the charges of a “conspiracy" on the part of the organization would have more weight in Indianapolis if they came from some ether source than the camp of E. C. Toner. Marion county republicans lost faith in both the sincerity and the veracity of Mr. Toner when he took his pen in hand and dribbled forth that fulsome eulogy of James P. Goodrich, which the governor had printed and circulated before he abandoned his presidential aspirations. Marion county republicans will hesitate to believe anything that is said by a man who wrote: “Back of all of our wonderful achievements since April 1, 1917, there was the inspiration, foresight, initiative, directing genius and organizing ability of Gov. Goodrich. It is his personalty that pervades the spirit of Indiana in this war. To him is due the credit which goes to intelligent leadership. There is credit enough for all —credit for our people w*ho have well performed the difficult work assigned "to them, credit to the governor who foresaw the work necessary, planned and directed its execution. “There has been no wobbling in Indiana. With keen vision, Gov. Good rich saw the march of future events —marked with precision the state's course in the war and piloted her activities with a firm and vigorous hand without procrastination, without wavering, but with determined energy that Indiana should be true to her traditions. He did not wait for the development of a war spirit to move him. He did not wait for public sent! ment to impel executive action. He did not wait for a popular demand for preparedness. Among the first in the land, he saw the war demands of future days and prepared while others talked. By an aggressive initiative ho molded public sentiment and led the people of Indiana into the vanguard of effective patriotism and practical preparedness.” Where Do They Stand? More than ten days ago there was injected into republican politics of Indiana anew and unexpected issue. The federal court brought to the attention of the party the fact that under its administration conditions had been permitted to exist at the Marion county jail which would not be tolerated in a half civilized community. I These conditions were directly attributed to the malfeasance of republican jailers, under the direction of a republican sheriff and subject to the supervision of a republican board of state charities. The issue then became purely one of whether the republican party would condone or repudiate such maladministration by county and state officials. Has the republican party expressed itself? Gov. Goodrich has said nothing about the official neglect of his state board of charities. Prosecutor Adams has been very busy calling witnesses before the grand jury whose testimony would have a tendency to “whitewash" the whole affair. Amos Butler has “explained” that his Inspector who “whitewashed” the Jail management only made a “preliminary” report Not a single person connected with this flagrant crime against the Whole community has yet been brought to the bar of Justice because of itl Warren T. McCray, republican candidate for governor, has held a very discreet silence concerning it Edward C. Toner, another candidate for governor, has been too- busy talking of other things to say anything about penal institutions. James W. Fesler, the other republican candidate, has said nothing, but he has placed his Marion county campaign in the hands of Prosecutor Adams, who is now engaged in a grand jury whitewash of the negligence of himself and others concerning the Marion county jail. Where do these candidates stand on the jail question? Do they approve of straving prisoners, killing insane men and burning the feet of others in the county jail? Do they believe in “whitewashing" such affairs because they were done by republicans? If elected to office would they Insist that the state board of charities become an active supervisory body or are they content to have it operate as a sinecure for political favorites? In other words, do they believe in decency in the republican party as well as elsewhere? Is This Profiteering? A stand on market which, last Thursday, sold head lettuce for 10 and 15 cents a head, offered the same size and quality Saturday at 40 and 45 cent*. ii Another stand that makes a speciality of fine cheese offered a certain grade at $1.25 a pound a week ago Saturday, offered the same article at $1.50 a pound last Thursday and at SI.BO a pound last Saturday. At both stands the prospects of disturbed transportation conditions were given as the cause for the increased prices. Neither the head lettuce nor the cheese was purchased wholesale at prices that reflected the transportation tieup. The standholders in' both cases merely accepted the switchmen’s strike as an excuse for increasing prices from 30 to 300 per cent. These two standholders enjoy privileges on the city market which are granted them by the public. They are enabled to trangaci business on a greatly reduced overhead expense because of these privileges. They are taking advantage of the opportunity to gouge the public that has, through the municipality, favored them. It is true, of course, that neither head lettuce nor cheese aje absolutely essential to the maintenance of life. But the increase in the prices and the consequent increase in the profits therein is only typical of the method used by most market standholders to rob the public that maintains the market place for them. These stallholders deliberately took advantage of their ability to reach into their patrons’ pockets and extract illegal and immoral profits. The municipal government, which liccuses them and could regulate them if it desired, does nothing to curb their greed. The market patron has the alternative of being held up or going without what he desires. 1 If this isn’t profiteering, what is?
