Jewett street repair program? ' . HOW are the republicans going to reconcile the tax law plank of their platform with the state committee’s declaration that the present tax law is “the best obtainable under the constitution”? THE REPLtBLICAN PARTY of Indiana is still the party of Goodriehisrn. Its candidate for senator, its state convention and its platform indorse the Goodrich administration from the convict mines in the south to the parole-emptied prison in the north. "MANY of the state’s most widely known republicans ... including some apparently well pleased democrats, were among the guests on th* stage,” says the News in describing the republican state convention. Is there no longer any distinction between parties? y THE ESTIMATE of harmony in the republican ranks as made in the editorial columns of the News indicates that there is complete harmony between the various members of the organization, no harmony between the rank and file of the party and the organization and no prospects of harmony between the party and the voters of Indiana. Boy, page Mr. Will Hays and hurry up! The Grand Jury and the Jail Avery little attention given to the finding of the Marion county grand jury relative to the suggestion that the old workhouse be transformed into the county's jail reveals that the report is much like some other coramunicatioas that have been passed along to Judge Collins. It appears more likely to meet the approval of the judge than to throw light on the benefits of a change to the county. In the first place the grand jury rushed this report to the judge in advance of the recommendations of an expert employed by the county to report on just these things. This was probably made desirable by advance information to the effect that the expert would not make the recommendations that the judge wanted. The report itself sets out three reasons why the workhouse would make a desirable jail. These reasons are: 1. It is in a good state of repair and with a small amount of work could be made sanitary and satisfactory. 2. It is large enough for the present and future. 3. It is surrounded by ground on which vegetables could be raised. In opposition to these obvious advantages, the grand jury finds: 1. It will have to have certain equipment, remodeling and repairs. 2. It will have to be equipped with .heat for colder weather. 3. The lower floor of cells are dark and poorly ventilated, but could be remodeled and remedied "with a certain amount of expense.” 4. The transportation of prisoners to and from this site Is “a problem to be considered” and the grand jury does not appear to have considered it, for it reports that “we are unable to give an opinion on the practicability of the transportation of prisoners or an estimate of the expense.” In other words the grand jury has found what every Interested person knows —that there is a workhouse and it might be transformed into a jail that would be more satisfactory than the present jail. But as to the desirability of so transforming the workhouse, either from a financial or practicable standpoint the grand jury' finding gives no more light than a glow worm.
Wood and the News Defeated The republican state convention swallowed Goodrichism in the interest of party harmony, but it balked at domination by the Indianapolis News and it repudiated Gen. Wood as the party choice for president. Wood failed to obtain a majority of the votes in the preferential primary. Wood failed to obtain a majority of the delegates in the convention. Regardless of the desperate efforts of the News, ably seconded by the Star and a host of smaller republican papers, backed by the most tremendous expenditures of money the sta*e has ever seen in a primary, Wood failed in Indiana. The composition of the state delegation, ten for Wood, four for Johnson and sixteen without instructions, is conclusive evidence that the republicans of Indiana are not enamoured of the general. Everything that could be done to gtve him Indiana’s delegation was 4one. Money was spent like water, publicity was printed and circulated like a flood, election returns were crooked, t)he party was threatened with disruption. Yet, the best Gen. Wood coaid do was capture three of the fifteen districts and force the organization to give him the delegates at large as a consolation prize. The result of this long drawn out struggle in the republican ranks is Indicative of two things: 1. The republican party of Indiana has not yet made up its mind whom it wants for a presidential candidate. 2. The republican party of Indiana has at last made up its mind not to be bossed by the Indianapolis News. The big victory in Indiana went to what the News calls the ‘‘senatorial cabal” of Washington, which for more than a year has been fighting in Indiana and elsewhere to send uninstmcted delegates to the Chicago convention. The advocates of an uninstructed delegation got sixteen uninstructed Relegates. They got more delegates than any one else. They got themfa the face of a ruthless effort to control or ruin the republican party in iiflMbouk * They won in Indiana against all odds. Imposing on Tenants •* It is time landlords in Indianapolis awakened to the fact that the IXKJse that lays the golden egg is the tenant. Without tenants rental properties are unprofitable burdens and just because there are today few landlords without tenants there should be no overlooking the fact that the tenant, as the source of the landlord's income, is a person in whom the landlord must take considerable interest. Whatever affects the tenant adversely will eventually be reflected 1 on the landlord and will affect his income adversely. For this reason if for no other, the landlord should see that his rental i agent is just as scrupulous in his dealings with the tenant as in his dealings with the landlord. A certain rental agent of this city recently threatened tenants of prop-1 erty under his control with the imposition of a wholly illegal and morally j wrong charge for collecting rentals. The notice was as follows: “As we have no collector we request that you pay your rent at our office when due. If you can not come send your check or mail postoffice j or express money order to us. “If we have to send for your rent we will charge an extra fee of lilt is the generally accepted theory that rental agents are agents of the landlords and are paid by the landlords for the collecting of rentals. ; This particular agency is either attempting to shift the costs of col- i lections from the landlords to the shoulders of the already overburdened tenants or it is attempting to collect fees from both. If the first explanation is correct it is well for both agents and land- i lords to reflect that there is a limit beyond which tenants will not be driven. If the latter explanation is correct, it behooves the landlords to investigate the conduct of their agents. If the tenant ts to pay the agent the landlord should not. In either event, both agents and hesitate long enough ■o cor,?(A *r the- fact that it i? such impropsAA&ijgltions- as these that are making radicals of good citizens. ga
The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL 8. DUFFEK. V J Company Manners Some women arc desperately afraid they will be suspected of having "company manners. • Such a woman, when she invited you to dine or lunch with her, assures you ahe will make no special preparation In your honor. She seems fearful lest you think she has dressed especially for the occasion—that she has a dress for "every day” and one for special occasions—she would figuratively “die of mortification” If ono of her children let the cat out of the bag that she were "using the best dishes.” These women are, in part, right in objecting to showing their "company manners." as they are called, for company manners can be very offensive and disquieting. No one can possibly acquire good table etiquet only as part of his "company manners.” The cues* with half an eye can tell when an effort at such an accomplishment is habitual and when it is affected merely for his benefit, so for that sort of company manners we have as little use as we have for ostentation. But company manners that are, with all frankness and sincerity, assumed for the quest's honor come from the heart and are not to be scorned. The father of the prodfgal son didn't try to make his guests believe he fed upon fatted calf every da.v of the year. So, although we would hardly tell our friends we have ordered special delicacies and got out the choice damask and thin china for their honor when they dine with us, we would show ourselves very silly if we tried to make a family secret of these little acts of consideration. — Copyright, 1920.

Necessity of Credits for Farmers J have always favored and worked for improved personal and commodity credit facilities, on reasonable terms, for farmers. The federal reserve act has provided credit facilities for farmers to a degree never l>efore available In tills country. I doubt if the farmers are entirely ■ familiar with the admirable provisions of the federal rese.rve net *or short time agricultural credits. I think that farm organizations and farm journals could help the farmers greatly by acquainting them more fully with the opportunities and advantages offered by this great law and showing them how
tc get the benefits of the federal reserve system. Agricultural paper given by farmers for growing their wops, as well ue for carrying staple agricultural commodities, Is made eligible for re-dlacount in federal reserve banks. This makes short time farm paper Just as desirable in national banks and federal reserve banks as the commercial paper given by the merchant and manufacturer. Ample credit facilities should be provided for the farmers as well as for every other class of our people because credit is absolutely basic to the general welfare and prosperity under conditions of mod ern society. The federal farm loan act lias provided fo r long time amortization farm mortgage* loans 011 reasonable terms, thug giving to farmers a long time credit system of inestimable value.
