Kealing will be elected republican national committeeman from Indiaria. * HOW CONVENIENT it is for Gen.

GOODRICH wanted employers to have fair notice of their violation of the workmen's compensation law why did the industrial board discontinue sending out its notices? THE GRANTING of the Increased rates asked by the telephone company before the election will be a most powerful influence in the subsequent abolishment of the public service commission. —————— # SECRETARY CARL MOTE of the public service commission has gone to Chicago for the convention. Apparently the governor’s utilities do not expect to get any more rate increases until after June 8. THE PECULIARITY about the finding by the police emergency squad of a Jug of whisky in Emrich’s saloon is that so much should have been left after the morals squad was entertained there a few hours before. A Black Memorial Day Real Americans will not gather this year to do honor to those who sacrificed their lives in the defense of their country without experiencing a sense of uneasy shame. Their thoughts will not revert to the graves of the thousands who-lle in Prance without a feeling that these men have died in vain. For this year the people of the United States must hold memorial service not only for those brave men who died to liberate the nation and those blue-clad heroes who died to preserve It, and the boys who gave their lives to liberate the Cubans, but also for that brown-clad host who went to Europe to stamp out forever the Hunnlsh menace to civilization. And when the true American’s thoughts turn to those representatives of our best manhood and most noble sentiment there will enter his mind the shadow of a peace that was put to death by politics—the shadow of a league to preserve peace that was assassinated on the threshold of a now dawn. For men must die and men must think and it matters not how bravely we try we can not set aside the memory of a wrong, deliberately, selfishly inflicted on a world that looked to us for better thlngH. Think you the "resolution of peace,” framed in the congressional halls that once resounded with a real American declaration of war will be read and honored in the thousands of iflares where Americans meet to honor their dead? Today America Is still at war with a conquered enemy. That peace for which our thousands died in France has not been attained. We are victors and the victory is an empty one The structure built in the stress of Versailles, a struoture that was to stand forever as a monument supreme to those who fought and died for civilization, has toppled before the onslaughts of the selfish, the littleness of those who stayed at home. This must be the blackest Memorial day In the history of America. For as we stand aloof from the league of nations and prate of "peace by resolution” we confess that we have forgotten the very spirit that moved our soldier dead to death itself. ' This year we may honor the fallen, but we can not in truth deny that by our failure to Join in the preservation of the world’s peace we have compelled brave men to give their lives In vain. McAdoo Gains Strength Considerable surprise seems to have been created in the congressional investigation of the expenditures of presidential candidates when the inquisitors failed to find any organized support of William Gibbs McAdoo. Those who are acquainted with Mr. McAdoo’s views on the presidential question will not share the surprise. There have been many efforts made to induce Mr. McAdoo to enter the lists as an avowed candidate for the democratic nomination. None of these efforts has been successful. Mr. McAdoo announced last winter that he would not be a candidate. He defined a candidate as an active seeker for the nomination and declared that under no circumstances would he seek the honor. This position is so widely different from that of so many other men in the public eye that it is almost incomprehensible to the political leaders of this country who are accustomed to regard such expressions as *1 am not a candidate.” as the most trifling kind of "bunk." It ougtit to be evident by this time that Mr. McAdoo meant what he said. He is not a candidate in the sense of seeking the democratio nomlnar tlon. In event the democrats, in their convention at San Francisco, regard him as the logical man to lead the fight for democracy, he has assured the country he would appreciate the honor and make the best fight for democracy of which he Is capable. But the honor will have to come to McAdoo without manufactured sentiment or “accumulations of faith” such as were attempted in Indiana with Col. Procter’s tfc nisands. The very fact that McAdoo Is being urged and considered as the most available democrat for the presidency without any organized effort in his behalf and without assistance from him shows that he is a candidate —in the sense of being the one democrat most likely to be selected by the'party as the nominee. Had McAdoo consented to lead an organization having for its purpose his nomination at San Francisco he would not have lacked either for money or brains to bring about his nomination. But he regarded such a policy as improper and undesirable and the broad-minded manner In which he refrained from entering an unseemly scramble for the nomination has attracted more favorable attention to William Gibbs McAdoo than could an army of press agents and organizers. Now , Let the Chips Fall — For the second time in less than ninety days a story of attempted corruption of a judge of a Marion county court has been told under oath. Such stories are not dreamed, nor are they fabricated without some basis or reason. < There can be no doubt that a continued circulation of such stories will utterly destroy the confidence that a community should have In Its judiciary. When Charles W. Rollinson was accused by Harry Parsons of having taken SI,OOO of his money for the purpose of Inducing Judge Walter Pritchard to free him of a charge to which he had confessed, The Times believed that the chargo was serious 'enough to warrant investigation and it commended Judgß Pritchard for Insisting that there be a hearing with Rollinson as the defendant When Rollinson, in his own defense, disclosed that he had been permitted by Claris Adam3, prosecutor, to enter the grand Jury room and there examine witnesses in behalf of his clients The Times believed that statement of sufficient importance to those of this community who do not stand for debauchery of the courts to make the facts known and demand that the Marion county bar association ask Judge Collins to order an investigation. When Rollinson, in tho city court, produced a witness who testified under oath that Parsons had told the witness that Mayor Jewett assured Parsons that he and Judge Collins would “go after Rollinson, get the ?VOOQ a-|i th“n get Rollinson" The-Times regarded the testimony as of sufficient

importance to demand summary action by Judge Collins for the purpose of clearing his good name and the honor of the criminal court.' To date there has been only one of these charges of malfeasance and misconduct on the part of attorneys and courts refuted. Rollinson proved to the satisfaction of Special Judge Charles E. >Cox that he was not guilty of having taken money from Parsons for the purpose of influencing Judge Pritchard. That decision, of course, exonerated Judge Pritchard of any suspicion that he had received money corruptly, if indeed, it was possible that any one in this community was ever foolish enough to harbor such a suspicion regarding Judge Pritchard. Claris Adams, prosecuting attorney, never did purge himself of the charge that he so far forgot the sanctity of the grand Jury room as to permit Rollinson to make a farce of Its Investigation Into the Parsons case by entering the grand Jury room with his witnesses and there conducting a defense of Parsons. Adams knew that he could not refute this charge and he never attempted to do so. Judge Collins of the criminal court has never made any effort either to deny, refute or explain the declaration attributed to Mayor Jewett by Parsons that Collins and Jewett would “go after Rollinson and get the SI,OOO and then get Rollinson.” Mayor Jewett never denied having made such a statement to Parsons, he never denied having advised Parsons to seek the services of a particular lawyer in this city and he never denied having shown an nnuaual interest in the welfare of a man who now stands convicted of a felony. We do not, of course, know why Judge Collins and Mayor Jewett preferred to have these statements go unchallenged to having an open investigation as to their truth or falsity. -*• Such an Investigation would have resulted either in the establishment that these two public officials were not fit to remain in office or that some one had perjured himself to their harm. It Is perhaps unjust to conclude that Judge Collins and Mayor Jewett feared the result of such an Investigation, but before any conclusion can be drawn of their "tolerance of such defamatory stories It Is well to look Into what was done. When The Times set forth tho facts as they had appeared in the records of the court and elsewhere, and called on the Marion County Bar association to investigate, Judge Collins ordered Prosecutor Adams to cite the managing editor of The Times for contempt. When Adams prepared his citations for contempt he deliberately chose to cite the managing editor of The Times although he well knew that the responsibility for the articles of which he complained rested on another person. Because of this refusal of the prosecutor to call into court the person responsible for the alleged contemptuous statements The Times was prevented from setting forth all the facts Ift its possession relative to the Rolllnson-Parsons affair. Y*hether or not this was the purpose desired by Judge Collins and Claris Adams. It was the result obtained and with the Judgment of Judge Collins appealed to the supreme court of Indiana, nothing has developed prior to today which made It possible for further disclosures relative to this affair. Now, Charles W. Rollinson has been accused, again under oath, by a litigant In Judge Solon Carter's court of having attempted to ertort from her SIOO with which to buy a Judgment from Judge Carter. We do not know whether this charge is any more amenable to proof than was the charge made by Parsons which failed so completely. We do know that there has been an uurefuted story told to the effect that someone was going to “get Rollinson.” It is undeniably right that Rollinson should have the opportunity he now asks to clear himself of this charge. There should be nothing permitted to Interfere with the thorough investigation Judge Carter has Indicated he would cause to be made of this affair. Judge Carter is comparatively new to the bench of Marlon county. He has not been surrounded with political vampiree or "sacred cows" who expect "protection" and favors from him. He Is not, so far as we know, attempting to build an organization to boost him Into the mayor’s office. There are no unsavory tales told of bis past, nor of his habits. He can have no fears that would prompt him to suppress or divert Investigations. This episode, of a nature entirely too common In the courts of Marion county, affords Judge Carter an opportunity to do a real service to the bar, the bench and the community. Perhaps, through this incident, the people of Marion county may learn what they were prevented from learning in the Parsons episode, that Is who Is responsible for these stories of corrupt practices In court procedure. The Times believes It expresses the sentiment of every reputable attorney in Marion county and of every good citizen when it suggests that politics be adjourned for the moment and a determined effort made to find out who is perjuring himself or Herself In such testimony as can only lead to a general disturbance of public confidence in the courts.

the TSmess Memorial Day We march in ranks that are thinning, Though our limbs are no longer strong, But we gladly turn out in a body, And proudly we march along. We answered the call of Abe Lincoln, When he led In those perilous years, We trusted in God—and Abe Lincoln — Went into the war amid cheers. We came out victorious in conflict— That is, some of us did, we should say, For some of the boys sleep in Dixie They gave up their lives in the fray. We are here to honor our comrades Who answered that last roll call, Who offered their lives for their nation That the union should never fall. We march here ioday just in memory Os our comrades who sleep ’neath the sod We have done our hit big for our nation — We helped save it, we love it, bless God!

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHATTER XLVIII. This morning Jim and I faced facts. Jim showed me hls letter—it wns from the war department—the acceptance of his resignation from the army. So this is Jim’s last day in the uniform of hls country! When I had finished reading the letter I looked up with eyes brimming and ready to overflow. Bat before I could say a word to comfort him, Jim came and put his arm around me. , "Never mind, little girl. I( a all right. Steady there! 11l have to go down and get aome ’elta’ —ready-made, I guess. I’ve no right to thta uniform that I’ve been in for ao long," he said. This was how Jim met hls big moment. quietly and like a real aoldler. I tried to be as aimple and matter of course as he. “Tt’s years since you’ve been 1n etvl'lan clothe*—’cUs,’ as you call them. It’ll be a lark picking out your entt may I come with yon?" As I spoke it flashed over me that Jim might have ordered a suit of clothes week ago! Then I realized that until hls resignation was accepted fcw could hardly believe that he was no longer LieuL Harrison of the American Aviation. “I'd—rather go alone, dear. If yon would help me—l'd like to do something worth while first—that article for Haldanes.” he said, a bit unsteadily. After ha had dictated the first draft of “Jobs—Not Bouquets,” Jim fairly lashed out of tbe house. 1 knew that he needed to get awny from the pity in my eyes While I was at my typewriter Jim’s laundry enma, then the iceman’s bill ar

rived, and the fruit man and weekly list of telephone calls appeared In search of pay at about the same time. After our bills were settled there remained. In my purse 5 cents—and sls of the thirty Jim had given me! Mr. Haldane wag all enthusiasm about the story—l spent a happy hour at the office. Then, rather than break a $5 bill for car fare, l walked home, even though the afternoon was sultry. Just as I arrived at our door a taxi drew up and Jim got out! A taxi I stood in stunned silence while he paid the man. and stunned I remained as he whirled me up to our apartment, propelled me Into It, and then enveloped me In a boyish bear-hug. Jim was emberantly happy. He had come across a want advertisement that seemed to point right to him—Sneddon A Company advertised for a man with good connections and able to handle giltedged mining stocks. “I knew I was the men. You see. Anne, I can't call on my personal friends begging for a Job—l m not going about whining for favors. But I can go to m? friends when I have a chance to do them a favor. The fellows I bare played round with ore Just the customers for the Sneddon stocks. Well, l got the Job—therefore the taxi. Now we go to the Vanclali roof in another tax! I didn’t protest. Our luck seemed to have turned, and I was warm and tired and ready to have a little more coolness snd rest than our kitchenette offered. Out came tbe lavender organdy and my leghorn hat with the band of im tbyst velvet and nodding pink roses. I

must look my very sweetest —Jim’s “lilac girl"—to celebrate his success.—Copyright, 1920. (To be Continued.) LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS —And What They Mean— Did you dream of infirmity? To dream that you are an Infirm old man or woman is an indication, say the mystics, that you will live to a green and hale old age. It Is also an assurance of freedom from Illness for the well and for the sick It denotes a speedy recovery. To dream of seeing an in(irm old man who is a stranger denotes some temporary affliction, but should he have the likeness of a friend it is a sign that yon will soon receive either good news or a considerable sum of money. One of the significations of dreaming of being-an infirm old man is that you are too much inclined to worry over trifles and an admonition to try to cultivate a more optimistic habit of mind. To dream either of being agpd and infirm yourself or of seeing another so, should the person be a man, means that you will increase in prudence and wisdom, but if it Bhould be a woman you may as well resign yourself to being gossiped about. Some of the oracles are of the opinion that for a young unmarried man or woman to dream that he or she is old and infirm is a sign of marriage which will probably turn out to be most satisfactory.—Copyright, 1920. Roof Walker Strolls Atop Downtown Hotel The police are trying to learn today If the man who was seen walking on the roof of the Southern hotel at 1 o’clock this morning was walking in his sleep or If he was a burglar trying to enter a room In an adjoining building. Frank Bury, a guest at the Spencer House, reported having seen the “roof walker,” but when the emergency squad arrived he had disappeared.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

CHAPTER XLVIII. You remember in the last story how Puss Junior saved the poor Pussy Cat and how he scolded naughty Tommy Green for throwing her In the well. And I hope every little boy who read that story will never, never tease a poor cat. "(Veil, as Puss Junior went upon Ms way he came in sight of a queer looking little house, and when be drew nearer he found rit wasn’t a house at all, but a big shoe, with a little chimney on top and a little door in the top and two little windows on each side of the heel. There were so many children playing around, and tunning in and out, that

The Right Thing \ at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEL®.

Mistress and Maid In these days when household worker demand and receive such astonishingly high wages you are frequently furthei astonished by the fact that Mr. So-and So, who is able and willing to keep thrw servants and to pay them the maxlmua wage, 13 always “without help,” whereat Mrs. Thus-and-Thus, on her meager income, is never maidless, though she pays what is now looked upon as a very smal wage indeed. Mrs. So-and-So puts it down to her own bad luck, but outsiders have no difficulty in seeing that it is all becau the one employer neglects the courteay and considerateness that means so much to the worker who lives as well as works under her employer’s roof, and the othei is never forgetful of this courtesy. A young woman can tolerate rudenew and overbearing manners for the sake o high wages, from the man she serve* at stenographer, but it becomes a hard* matter when the discourteous employs supplies your fare and shelter and ’mow of your going-out anl your cominjWi Courtesy to your employes does no mean intimacy or even friendliness, bu It does mean fair and uniform treatment WHAT THE READERS ASK. “I am a young woman working oat ! private families because I can save moi that way than in a store or factory. Re cently I was discharged before my mont was up and was paid only for the time remained. Was I not entitled to fa month’s pay?" This depends on the cause for you discharge. If It was for any failure o your part to keep up to the agreemei entered Into when employed I believe yo are not entitled to full pay. It also d< pends on whether your employer agree to employ and pay you by the week i month. I advise you to get legal ac vice.—Copyright, 1920.

little man!” and this so pleased the little boy that he put out Ms hand and took Puss by the paw. “You’ve got pretty boots on,” he said, looking down at our little travelers feet “Yes, I'tn rather proud of them myself," said Puss. And Just then the Old Woman came out of the Shoe, ana when she saw her little boy talking to a strange cat with boots on, you may be sure she was surprised. “Are you Puss in Boots?” she asked, “I'm his son, Puss Junior.” “Os course,” she answered. “I knew your father years ago and for a moment I forgot how time files. Yes. ws were very good friends in those good old-fashioned days," and she sighed. “Hi was a very fine cat.” - “We have a portrait of father at home.' said Puss Junior, proudly. I guess hi was thinking of che picture on the story hook of Puss in Boots, don’t you* And after that the Old Woman invited Puss Junior into her Shoe House “I can hardly find room for all my chil dren,” she said. “People think I’m jM <ros3 because I give them a whipping before petting them to bed, but if I didn't the one I put in first wouldn’t He still. You see. by the time I get the last, one in bed it’s time to take the first one up for breakfast.” Well, after that Puss had a game *f tag with tbe children. And first they nil stood In a row while he counted “jny, meeney. miny mo,’’ till all were out except himself. And, Ob. dear me! what a frolic followed, for Puss was it, yon see, and to be chased by a cat with boots on was very exciting. At last Puss caught the biggest boy, for, of course, he wouldn’t catch the little ones. But that big boy never caught Puss. Oh my, no! For Puss climbed up a tree and dangled hls red topped boots over hls bead. And then, after a while, he came down and let each child kiss him good bye and then he started off again on his Journey of adventure.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
