Logan Payne & Cos. Advertising Offices (New York, Boston, Pajne, Burns & Smith, Inc. —'“THIS IS THE YEAR”— MR. MARSHALL* displayed a full measure of good political judgment when he stopped Mr. Ralston’s ill-advised attempt to stampede a delegation left uninstructed by an agreement to which Marshall was a party. MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, the democratic party of Indiana is now in the control of Thomas Taggart. On his shoulders must rest the responsibility for its campaign. FIVE AUTOS, stolen in Indianapolis in one day, furnish five different reasons for believing that Prosecutor.Adams’ assumption that Judge Anderson was not referring to the Marion criminal court was unfounded. TJIERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS that the taxpayers of Indianapolis are going to pay more to prevent a recount of the primary votes than the taxpayers of Marion county paid for the original primary. ' . * Marshalls Straddle Thomas R. Marshall presented to the Indiana democratic convention a remarkable speech—remarkable, not in itself, but in the fact that its author chose this occasion to make such a speech. * Analysis of it reveals that there is one predominant thought, a single thought applied to everything before the public mind, regardless of expediency, practicability or force. . Mr. Marshall apparently sees the great majority of the ills of she ; country as the direct reflection of tendency of the majority to impose on the minority the necessity of abiding by the will of the majority. He advocates the maintenance of those principles of government accepted by the majority as a civic duty, but he also urges that the majority should not advance while there Is a minority opposing it. There seems to lurk in his mind the theory that a majority should not seek to control until it has. by some undefined process, won over and absorbed the minority. making the minority a component part of itself. His discussion of the peace problem of the day is a straddle of both the republican and democratic attitude. He ‘.‘still hopes that the democratic president and the republican senate ‘ will reach an accord” on the peace treaty and he apparently is willing that there be no peace until this “accord” is reached. He declares that as the war was an “American war” the peace should be “an American peace.” but he does not throw any light on whether the •views of Philander Knox that the Versailles treaty is "too hard” on the Huns tfC an American view. For the promotion of industrial peace in America Mr. Marshall says It is necessary to convince the individual that he is the unit of government and that "upon the discharge of his duty in all relations with his fellowmen depends the quietude and good order of society.” Here, as in the general tenor of his address. Mr. Marshall would have nothing done to enforce "duty in all relations with his fellowmen.” He advocates pledging the democratic party not to present legislation that is pertinent to the individual and almost in the same breath he declares that j aoclal peace can only be obtained through individual efforts. This logic supports the untenable theory that Mr. Marshall does not seek social peace. “It is the purpose of government to act as a yoke and not as a spiked collar,” says Mr. Marshall, and It appears to be his idea that the individual who will not wear a proper yoke should not be compelled to wear a spiked collar because “it is not equal and exact Justice for power to impose upon minorities a course of conduct simply because it has the power.” Applying this theory, which he declares “true democracy,” to prohibition. Mr. Marshall arrives at the premises that prohibition is wrong because it seeks to allow the state to control a man’s “relation to his God and his family” and right because it is part of the constitution of the United States. After presenting this moral straddle, the vice president apparently discloses his belief that prohibition is not supported b ypublic. sentiment, but is a part of the constitution and as long as his conception of public sentiment can not control the constitution prohibition must be enforced. The doctrine is very typical of Mr. Marshall. He attempts to stand four-square for the proper principles of life, but he does not wish to see these principles govern until the persons they would affect have all agreed to be governed by them. On the whole, Mr. Mai hall’s speech reveals a vast inability and unwillingness to grapple with the problems of today,‘a vast Incompetency to lead against opposition In a brotherly spirit, which one can not help admire, Mr. Marshall would win over opposition before advancing He would meet his opponents and agree *o abide with them until they become his friends rather than to carry on the fight for proper principles in the face of their opposition. As we said before, this is typical of Marshall. He expects us to believe that he would not care to be president except by acclamation, that he would not care to lead a militant majority against the stubborn minority. And he is not likely to be called upon to do either. For while he points the way to a mythical arcadla. as Is usual with the dreamer, he does not in any way explain how it is possible to bring about the conditions that are necessary to such idealistic harmony as he regards a* essential to progress. f The Democratic Platform Cm the whole no voter who has lived and suffered under the rule of Goodrichism In Indiana can find fault with the democratic state platform. It is clean-cut and-decisive in its stands. It leaves little to the imagination and is in marked contrast to the “safe” platform of the republican state convention. For the purposes of the coming campaign its pi inks on a few very Wellknown subjects stand out above a rather unnecessary accumulation of the usual political 'salve. £ The pledge for the repeal of the tax law meets the approval of every Indiana citizen who believes In justice and equality. The condemnation of the parole record of the governor is mild in comparison with the denunciation it deserves. The reference to the public utilities is a reaffirmation of faith in the principles of the utility law, the important provisions of which have been so thoroughly ignored under the direction of Gov. Goodrich and Carl Mote. • The pledge to abrogate all unnecessary boards and return to the people the rights and privileges of self-government is sufficiently broad In its meaning and intent to answer the demand of the voters of Indiana for the complete elimination of the "centralization” program with which they were duped by the present republican administration. The labor question receives its due in the platform and nothing more than its great importance demands. . The sentiment of Indiana Is reflected in the support of President Wilson and the Versailles treaty. The democratic state platform is one on which all democrats can stand. The parts that have important bearing on the government under which we live are sound, logical and reflective of the sentiments of democrats and republicans alike. The “extras” are in no sense obnoxious and should offend no one. There are those among us who would have omitted reference to the “eminent fitness” of Thomas R. Marshall for the presidency, but in view of the fact that every time Mr. Marshall speaks he says something that makes that “eminent fitness” less discernible, it should, and we have no doubt will, be regarded as a compliment, the sincerity of which will never have to be proved. The one outstanding point about the democratic platform Is that it voices the resentment of the people of Indiana over the Goodrich “centralization hoax” and pledges relief from it. That is the only kind of a platform on which the democratic party of Indiana could hope to gather its own votes and the votes of dissatisfied republicans. The democrats of the state are to be congratulated on having successfully- negotiated the first dangerous hagard of the political race 0f'1920.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

CHAPTER XLI. “The cook in the barnyard crows at dawn To wake the farmer to hoe the corn. And the merry sun hears his early call And rolls through the sky like a big gold ball; But from bay little clock house on the wall Every hour I carefully call In a sing-song way, ‘Cuckoo, cuckoo!’ Day after day, the whole year through.” And Just then Puss heard in tlje distant woods the voice of a wild cuckoo. "Who is calling from the forest?” he asked, looking at the Cuckoo In the little Clock House. “That is the Cuckoo of tlfe Wotods,” she replied. ‘‘She Is a lazy bird. She lets the day go by with never a thought, while I—well, I am a musical reminder of the flight of the hours." And then who should come in but the farmer, hungry and tired, and when he saw said, “With whom are you talking?” for the Cuckoo had jumped Inside her little clock house and had closed the door, and of course the farmer wondered why Puss was talking, for he couldn't see anybody around.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER XLI. In another moment I found the switch and the room was flooded with light. It showed Jim's face whiter, colder than the candle light had revealed. “Can I do anything for you?” 1 ventured. “No—you've done about enough for one day. Go out and drink your coffee and get that whimpering baby look off your face.” It was brutal—l staggered back, fairly hating him. Out In the living room was the percolator, purring smoothly. I turned It off and poured rnvself a cup of coffee —thick and black, strong from its long standing. I put It to my lips, but I couldn't swallow It. Presently Jim came into the room and said : “If you can say anything to whitewash this performance let me hear it. Anne. I thought I had married a sane woman and not a—an absurd child who would—make me look like a fool. What do you suppose Mason, himself, thinks of yon?” “Oh, he thinks It Is all right. He and Evelyn have been here ull day " Jim's face turned crimson. “Evelyn Mason has been helping you! Well, where is she now?" 1 "She was gone when you phoned—the Royees and Mr. Blake asked her motoring and so she wpnt ” “And Tom?” asked my husband. “I sent him awny,” I said grimly, and a flash of anger gave me sudden strength to face my husband. “You- shan’t talk to me like this. Jim. I won't be misunderstood. You shan’t ” "Oh—’l shan't!' Who's to stop me 1 ” ‘‘l am. When you understand. Jim, you'll see that you haven't been fair. I tbonght the Wal*rave too expensive, and thp Impudent little clerk made me ao miserable last night when I came In from dining with Papt Winston " “Oh. so you (fined with Winston, too,” sneered my husband* “Oh. Jim. won't you understand 1, Papt. Winston took me to dinner because 1 was your wife He made me understand that you would have to —go back to France. I've been frying to prepare for that today .” "Perhaps you will claim that is the reason for your sudden move!” "Yes. Jim; I was Jealous, too, when your letter came this morning. It was so full of Betty I got—desperate. And then I thought if we had a home you’d he contented while you were—here. •Skilly. I have been trying to act like—a soldier's wife."

Jim answered me wearily. "A soldier's wife doesn't make him look like a fool by doing the things you've done. You've made a muddle of things, Anne. Everything is in a—muddle." The anger drained out of his voice. It was tired and hinted of pain beyond all reckoning. "Are disappointed in me?” I asked sadly. He smiled impatiently. There was grim suffering In that smile —a touch of pain more cruel than the bitterness our quarrel had held. “Yes, I’m disappointed, all right,” said my husband wearily. And then I knew there wna something more—something he had met and suffered alone.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.) ,

And when they had finished Pubs took a lump of sugar out to the Good Gray Horse, and set off again on his Journey, and by and by be, came to a man all dressed In red and white striped trousers and a blue coat with stars sprinkled over It. And he was riding on a pony, and in his cap a feather gray was waving In a manner gay. “Hold on, my good sir!” Puss called out. 'Pray tell me the name of yonder town.” And then Yankee Dpodle Dandy (for this was the man's name) pulled up his pony and turned around In his saddle. “Why, it's Puss Jnnior,” he exclaimed. “Glad to meet you again. Do you remember'the day we met, how the man in the moon came down too soon?” “I do, Indeed,” replied Puss, while the Good Gray Horse rubbed noses with the pony. "Where have you been since then ?” “Ob, I’m riding around and singing patriotic songs,” said Yankee Doodle Dandy. “Woud, y’ou like to hear one?" And then he began: ! “Yankee Doodle, doodle-do, Loves the Red and White and Blue, The stars upon the deep blue field. The Eagle ou the battle shield That flies above the U. S. A.
