Z— 1 - .==~:r= —“THIS IS THE YEAR"— THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS continues to vindicate Wilson’s unheeded plea for a democratic congress in 1918. AFTER JIM WATSON had indorsed the Goodrich administration, it was entirely unnecessary for him to say he knew little about state affairs. SO, AFTER ALL, what Wood got was ten delegates, three of whom are not "fer him.” What an “accumulation of faith!” THE ONLY DEFENSE the republican press seems able to make of the tax law is that Phil Zoercher, the paid speechmaker of Jim Goodrich, continues to favor It while he draws a salary for administering it. Phil is the kind of a democrat Goodrich always selects for his boards. THE NEWS complains that the Marion county democrats’ platform is not specific enough, after declaring that it is divided into ten indictments of republicanism and republican officials. We seem to remember another Indictment that the News telieved was not specific, too. Are the Democrats in Earnest? The people of Indiana were enlightened last week as to who constitutes the republican party and for what it stands, at a convention marked by more turmoil than any that has preceded it for years. This week the people of Indiana will be enlightened as to who constitutes the democratic party and fo£,what the democratic party stands at a convention which gives promise of being just as lively as that of last week. The republican convention demonstrated that James P. Goodrich and Charles W. Jewett still control the party in Indiana and Marion bounty. Mr. Goodrich obtained an indorsement of his own administration and the election of his own choice as chairman of the party. Mr. Jewett succeeded in instructing the four delegates at large for Gen. Wcod, largely through promises of delivery of Marion county's votes for certain candidates. The Watson element, generally regarded as the strongest in the party, failed to register in the chairmanship fight or In the matter of instructions to delegates. The platform appears to have been a compromise which is well described by the News as "safe.” Fortunately, in the democratic ranks there is considerably less room for disagreement than in the republican camp. The party, however, is not without its differences and there is every indication that these differences will have their effect on the forthcoming convention. The people of Indiana can reasonably be expected to find out this week whether the democratic party is an adjunct to the kite of Thomas R. Marshall whose views on national and local affairs are being so thoroughly disseminated by the republican press, or whether it is constituted of voters who think in terms of today rather than the last, century and earnestly desire to present a ticket and platform that will appeal to democratic voters and the vast army of discontented independent voters. It is also more than likely that the democrats this week will give evidence of whether or not they earnestly desire to make Indiana a democratic state, whether or not they intend to follow- a leadership that will make the state democratic, and whethrr or not they will. If the democrats of Indiana desire to carry this state they will adopt a platform that will be as far different from the republican platform as it is possible to make it —a platform that is positive, not equlvocable. If the democrats of Indiana desire to carry this state they will follow the leadership of men who are capable of realizing the needs of today, not the beauties of yesterday. And they will name national delegates who have some other object than to spout sophisms and vote for themselves. With these two things disposed of properly there will remain between the democrats and victory in Indiana only the necessity of nominating men capable of standing on a given platform and the expression of confidence in leaders who are ready to lead a democratic battle and unwilling to compromise themselves for republican plunder.

Collins Vindicates The Times The voluntary action of Judge James A. Collins in disqualifying him* self to sit in judgment on Robert Miller, sheriff, who is charged with malfeasance in the conduct of the county jail, is a complete vindication of the position assumed by The Indiana Daily Times in a recent editorial which Judge Collins declared a contempt. This editoria 1 . under the caption “To Investigate Themselves,’’ now appears in the court's records as follows: The Marion county grand jury has been instructed by James A. Collins to investigate the intolerable conditions that obtained at the county jail. Prosecutor Claris Adams is to conduct this investigation and it is to be directed against Sheriff Robert Miller and his deputies. Thus we have the Interesting spectacle of a court investigating itself and no assurance whatever that the Investigation will be conducted with any other purpose than to whitewash the participants in the corruption that the federal court has fonnd to exist in the county jail. Sheriff Miller is an officer of the criminal court, James Collfns is the judge of that court. Prosecutor Adams is an officer of the criminal court. Collins, Adam3 and Miller all had very personal knowledge of the conditions that existed at the county jail all through the year 1919. None of them stirred a finger to stop the abuses until they were compelled to do so by the federal court. Now the judge of the court and the prosecutor propose to con- , duct a probe of the jail condition through a grand jury of their own creation! Either one of them could tell sufficient from their own per* sonal knowledge to send men to the penitentiary. Neither can conduct an honest investigation of the jail conditions without revealing his own malfeasance in office. What, besides a whitewash, may be expected of such an investigation? Now, after judicially declaring that these words Were “falsie, libelous, scurrilous and corrupt,” Judge Collins admits that he is not qualified to act as the judge in the criminal proceedings that are a part of this investigation and announces his intention of vacating the bench! Could there bo any clearer vindication both of the truth, the theory and the spirit of this editorial than is afforded by the judge's public acknowledgment that he is not qualified to sit in the case of State vs. Miller? Considerable water has passed under the mill since The Times first exposed the conditions that existed in the county jail. Nothing that gives more hope of proper legal redress of these jail wrongs has come to light than the retirement of Judge Collins from the bench in this cause. Now, if Prosecutor Adams can be prevailed upon to devote a little of the fortune he has accumulated in the way of prosecutor's fees to the hiring of a lawyer to prosecute the case against Miller there will be some chance of the state of Indiana being properly represented in the court action against the sheriff. MarshalTs Republican Boosters Some few days ago the republican newspapers of Indianapolis were complaining of alleged democratic interference in their fight to force Wood down the throats of the republican party in Indiana. They urged republicans not to nominate men whom the democrats wished them to nominate and they insisted that democrats could only be advocating the nomjpation of the weakest candidates. These republican papers ought to know whereof they speak. In season and out they have been interfering in the democratic party affairs, urging the nomination of the weakest possible candidate the democrats couid select for the presidency. Day after day they have been parading the sophisms of Thomas Riley Marshall as evidence of his fitness to be the democratic nominee for president. Why do the republican papers of Indiana want Marshall nominated for president? The answer lies in their own confessions. They want the democrats to nominate the man who can be most easily and seated. A

Wants Saliee to Lead the Democrats Editor The Times —I am a traveling man and cover practically every county in Indiana. In my travels over the state I interview hundreds of people every week on trains, in stores und hotels and otherwise make it a point to ascertain local set fhuent on the political situation. I find hundreds of republicans who will vote the democratic ticket this year because they are disgusted with GoodrieliHays machine methods, the obnoxious tax law and other things too numerous to mention. And from what I can hear I actually believe Tom Taggart will be elected United States senator by acclamation. I haven't heard a good word I for Watson even among republicans. My main point in writing is this: The democratic state committee is soon 1 to elect a chairman to serve through the campaign. The question of organization, to my mind, is the most important thin* in the entire campAign. 1 understand the present Chairman, Mr. Bossc, is a thorough business man and would make a good chairman provided he gives it the proper attention. But he admits himself that he is president of twentytwo corporations and is also mayor of Evansville. Will someone please show me where and how Mr. Bossc can find the necessary time to direct the destinies of the democratic party in Indiana? The state chairmanship is a real big job and I imagine will require a lot of time and hard work and the man who receives this high honor should expect to give it his personal time and attention, otherwise it is unfair to the party. I believe, and I also find the same sentiment generally over the state, that the best man in Indiana for democratic state chairman is Charley Sallee of Indianapolis. Tiiere sems to be universal regret among democrats that Mr. Sallee.found it necessary to resign the chairmanship at this time, although it is understood, of course, that he did so for strictly personal reasons. Mr. Sallee is a successful young business man; he is peculiarly qualified in a temperamental way, is an experienced organizer and made an Ideal caainnan while holding the office. lie is not an orator, but we do not want an orator for chairman. He lias the hsppy fe- j nlty of making people feel at home visit- , ing liendquarters Visitors are alwnvs 1 sure of a hearty smile and a welcome that makes you want to go out ami do something for the democratic party. In ! other words, Fallee is an all-round "live I wire” and I feel sure it would be pleas- | ing to every democrat in Indiana if he i could be induced to assume the chairmanship again for this campaign. We! need the active leadership of men of the! type of Sir. Sallee in our party at this] time. Sincerely, J. B. HONING. I

I erfed, desperately. “Os course you don't, yon poor little tired child. Hut I, one of Jim's old. est friends, assure yon he would want you to do the right and proper thing. You aren't going to deny me yonr hospitality—are you?" In a serie* of flashes It came over me that I generally did the wrong thing where Jlna's friend* were concerned. This man, who had been so kind to me. had known Jim since boyhood. "I'm so worn out I can't think,” I stammered. “I didn't mean to he rude I Just wanted to do what was dlgnl fled and proper.

But you can trust the Judgment of a man so much older than yourself, can’t you?” “I think *o. Oh, of course, I know so!” I exclaimed, smiling my apologies almost hnmbly. My verdict was a trifle premature. “Ran along and cool off a bit, little lady. Wilt a minute-we can't h*ve you supping In that stiff, formal satin dress.

A Contrast With an Explanation A contrast and an explanation Is contained in the comments of three Indiana newspapers concerning the republican state convention. The Muncle Press says: “The instructions of the State convention itself are of a mild character and were designed to catch the votes in convention of all those delegates who while opposing the candidacy or Gen. Wood, nevertheless felt that because he had received a plurality In the primary election, Gen. Wood was entitled to some special consideration. The delegates at large under the instructions are made the judges of the time when they may believe Gen. Wood no longer hag a “reasonable chance" to be nominated, arid then they may vote for any other candidate or candidates for the office that they may see fit to favor.” •—- The Evansville Courier soya: “The republican state convention relented four delegates at large who pledged themselves to vote for Wood in 4ho national convention. At the same time every one knows these four men will do all they can to prevent the nomination of the man they are voting for. "It is this kind of hypoCrtcy in high places that disgusts the voters. It Is the utter lack of sound conviction among those who are. looked up to as leaders. Watson is no more for Gon. Wood than is the Courier, yet he accepts the place of a delegate, and Indeed seeks it, pledging himself to vote for tho general.” - The Sullivan Times explains: "Gov. Goodrich had Another good day. Every speaker bad something nice to say of the governor, and the Goodrich tax law, which has Ailed every Hoosler taxpayer with anguish, was glossed over lightly. In fact the Goodrich control of the convention i impressive to say the least. The governor seems to be in she saddle still in Indiana republican affair*.” Italy-America Day to Be Held May 24 BOSTON, May 17.—The following announcement ha# been made by Mayor Andrew J. Peters: "The 24th of May will be gnerally observed throughout the United States a* Ifaly-Amorlca day. Tbl* day ia the fifth anniversary of Italy’s entrance into the war, and ft is Intended that the observance of the day ahall tAke the form of an appropriate recognition of Italy’s part in the world war.
