Logan Payne & Cos. Advertising Offices |y ew York, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith. Inc. —"THIS IS THE YEAR ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME the state board of accounts let us hear about the office of the Marion county treasurer? The primary is over now. WOULD IT BE. CONTEMPTUOUS to inquire if Mayor Jewett has "arranged" for any other lawyers to appear with witnesses before the grand jury? BOIES PENROSE will just have to worry along the best he can with the Knox boom. Indiana hasn’t any particular desire to make this the second German nation of the world. THE TIME WILL COME in Marion county when neither a public job nor a gambling privilege will suffice to save a crooked and corrupt political machine from the efTects of an honest primary. JERRY KINNEY might contribute considerable to a better Indianapolis if he would remodel the moral squad and put a stop to some of the open gambling games that have been flourishing in Indianapolis recently. The Task Ahead The defeat of all the candidates who opposed the Goodrich-Jewett machine in the republican party at a primary that reeked with corruption and wholly misrepresented the sentiment of the voters in Marion county Is indicative of nothing 60 much as that the people of Indianapolis have not realized the size of the task confronting them In order to break down this self-centered, hypocritical, corrupt political machine, the voters of Marion county must not only register their opposition to further tolerance of it, but they must, as a preliminary to success, evolve a method for obtaining an honest counting of the ballots cast. ' In the last primary the citizens of Indianapolis who went to the polls were numerous enough to have ousted the machine. There is every evidence that they cast sufficient ballots in opposition to it to defeat not only the machine gandidates, but the machine-chosen organization members. The present result is not due to a lack of votes in opposition to the present administration, but in a lack of ability to compel honesty in the count. __ The machine perpetuated itself by crooked methods in counting the i ballots. It falsified sufficient precinct returns to nominate its candidates j from Gen. Wood on down. This was done without fear of punishment for the reason that the ma-| chine controls the prosecuting attorney’s office and through it all possibil . ities of grand jury action. No one will be hbard to argue that this primary could possibly have been corrupted as it was with a man in the office of prosecutor of Marion county who has backbone enough to stand for law enforcement and decency in politics. Manifestly, the problem that is up to the opponents of the Goodrich-; Jewett machine is the perfecting of an organization that will, once and for all, make ballot box stuffing an offense against the law rather than a profession. as it is in Marion county today. This can not be accomplished without a prosecutor. The machine offers William P. Evans in the full knowledge that he is not a prosecutor who will ever interfere with election crookedness. The democrats, in spite of republican machine interference in their primary, succeeded ic nominating for prosecutor a fearless and capable young man who has the inclination and the ability to make election criminals scarce in this city. If the people of Marion county want an end to crooked primaries they will elect Paul Davis prosecutor this fall. Davis and his friends will see that the vote is counted as cast. It is up to Marion county voters to vote for Davis and decency

Up to Democracy With the primaries over, organization about to be effected and the state convention casting its shsJhow before, it is up to t ome of the sound- J minded democrats of Indiana to make themselves heard in the campaign plans of their party. There may or there may not be a split in the republican ranks at Chicago. If there is a split it may or it may not result in an overwhelming victory for democracy as has been predicted. There is an ever-growing probability that the next independent ticket offered the voters of the United States will attract sufficient support to be elected. These are days when voters are beginning to think and act Independently. Woman's suf- j frage is very near. With it will come a tremendous unknown and probably independent electorate. Sitting on the political rail fence and watchfully waiting Tor a split in the republican party is not going to get the democrats any place for two reasons. There may be no split. 4f there is a split-the voters may take advantage of the opportunity to register their disgust with both old-line parties and elect the ticket of the new party. Democracy in Indiana never had more about which to center an aggressive fight for success. In the nation, in the state and in' Marion county particularly there is ample campaign material for a fight that will bring every vote to the polls. • There is ample reason to drive the traducers of Wilson, the traducers of Indiana and the traducers of Marion county from office for ever. But it can not be done by playing with the republican party. Nothing will be accomplished this fall if the leadership of democracy is to be entrusted either to those democrats, who have openly their party in primaries or to those democrats who have listened to the sirens planted by the Will Hays organisation until they believe themselves that “democracy has no chance.” Within the next npnth the democratic party of Indiana will have arranged for a vigorous, hard-hitting campaign or it will have signified its perfect willingness to remain in the "also ran” class while the republican party squirms out of the worst hole in which it has been since 1912. There are in the democratic ranks men who aspire to leadership who do not support aggressive campaign measures. They are either of the class who are willing to lend assistance to republican machine leaders in return for jobs or special concessions, or they are men who seem to labor under the delusion that the fight is lost before it. is begun, and. so laboring. feel that nothing must be said or done that might offend their opponents for fear their opponents will be successful and show resentment. Democracy has suffered long enough by reason of entrusting its affairs to men who have sold out. Democracy has suffered almost as much by entrdsting its affairs to men without courage, who lost democracy’s fights before they reached fighting grounds. Now is the time to place the affairs of the democratic party in the hands of two-fisted men—men who have nothing to fear from activity and nothing to gain by courting defeat. The Luxury of Conservation The Times has again been urged by the director of publicity of the Indiana department of conservation to present it with an editorial expression, which, according to advices, will be incorporated in “the souvenir pamphlet” to be issued “when Indianapolis pauses and retrocedes lQfi years to its nativity.” The Times believes in conservation. It believes in conservation so strongly that it can see no particular excuse for wasting a perfectly good lot of paper in “souvenir pamphlets,” prepared at the expense of the state and appreciated by no one. And while this paper is in hearty accord with any real movement for the conservation of the native resources of Indiana it has nothing in common with Jim Goodrich’s "denartment of conservation,” created at heavy expense to the taxpayers for the principal purpose of providing jobs for republican politicians. If conservation is only to be obtained by maintaining a branch of the “centralized republican state administration” then conservation is too much of a luxury for the state of Indiana. / • 1 / p a 4 M

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By ANN LISLE.-

CHAPTER XXXI. What was ray husband’s relation so the beautiful woman who had staked her ltfe in the same struggle that had called my boy overseas? For a second Capt. Winston had lifted the curtain, and then, with an air of reserve, he dropped It again. cWe had an evening of big—-impersonal —emotions. One accident, cruelly personal, marred it. _ When I came to the desk for my key there was the insolent clerk, and talking to him was a familiar, overdressed, white-haired figure, Mrs. Varden. ’’l see you got the captain all right, Mrs. Harrison," said the clerk. At the sound of my name Mrs. Varden tnrnbd. “Oh good evening’’ she purred, focusing her lorgnette on the British officer. “How nicely you do manage to while away the lonely hours, Mrs. Harrison! Well, I suppose our Jimmie knows how to amuse himself, too. A soldier’s wife lias to be very adaptable.” “Capt. Winston Is my husband’s best friend,” I said, Introducing him because there was nothing else to do. He was frozen stiff, as the English often are when they recognize lack of breeding and fine feelings. That annoyed Mrs. Varden frightfully. "I see I am Intruding. You two young things want to finish your tete-c-tete,” she said at last, with unmistakable malice masking as knowing friendliness. I insisted on going up in the elevator with Mrs. Varden. But she managed to convey to me clearly her sneering opinion that I bad done that to gloss matters over. I have made a malicious enemy, and she thinks sho has me in i her power." The lunch with Mr. Mason was r.n- j avoidable—unless I wanted to make an absurd scene, and act ilke an evil-mind-ed person. To refuse to dine with Capt. j Winston would have been an affront to my husband’s best friend and a matter I of real hurt to Jln>. And yet Mrs. Vnrden Is ready to twist it all into a ma- j itclous tale. Her smile, just like that I of “the cat that ate the canary,’’ tells \ me that. She made me promise to breakfast with her tomorrow' morning, j and I felt compelled to accept. I sitn i ply will not let that cruel old woman i sneer at my J:m, or pity him, or think , that his wife consoles herself readily j for bis absence.
