NOW that the governor has mentioned it. why not have a little light as to organization of the Calora coal mine, too? DAIRY LUNCHROOMS appear to be popular prey for holdups. Perhaps the robbers think the proprietors will not miss the loot. SIR. THOMAS LIPTON might do well to follow the example of our marines and select his skippers from some of our inland states. MR. WYCKOFF’S ZEAL for curbing of the rent profiteers indicates that he is neither a landlord nor the executive secretary of any association of landlords. . # THAT EULOGY of the city and county officials for enforcement of the prohibition laws must have been written by Mr. Orbison late in one of his ordinarily busy days. AS WAS TO BE EXPECTED, the Pete Williams jury disagreed. But what the layman will fail to understand is why the attempt to bribe the officers who made the arrest? CITY COUNCILMEN should appreciate the Star’s intimation that abolishment of the public service commission would result in the betrayal of-public interests for private gain. LUKE DUFFEY is a peculiar fellow. He rises to criticise the “schoolboy administration” of Mayor Jewett and stands for Director Wright’s misdirection of the state high commission. Without Confidence Only a very small percentage of the citizens of Indiana are opposed to legislation seeking to regulate the coal industry in this state. The majority of the citizenship realizes that unless some drastic measures are taken there will he a serious coal femine this coming winter and enormous loss of industry. ■With such a condition existing it is remarkable that there should he such widespread opposition to the state administration's proposals to meet this crisis s The remarkable opposition does not lie against, the proposal to regulate the coal industry, although it has been assailed on the grounds that it is a socialistic departure from our normal theory of government. Such opposition as has been expressed is directed more at the state administration than a? its proposals. It is due more to lack of faith in th administration than to lack of faith In the state’s ability to regulate the Industry. In other words, the people of this state have lost confidence in the integrity of the state administration and In its ability or willingness to exercise plenary power over anything in the Interests of the people as a whole. This lack of faith is the natural result of the failures of the Goodrich administration and the Goodrich misuse of power. Examples are so numerous as to challenge selection. Goodrich controlled the last regular session of the legislature and evolved a tax bill that the present extra session must remodel to make workable. Goodrich controlled the state highway commission and sank millions of dollars in highways that go no place and were built at an excess co.it of more than $6,000 a mile. Goodrich created a purchasing department whose first act was to attempt to purchase coal from a member cf Goodrich’s family. / Goodrich remodeled the basement of the statehouse in a manner that even a Goodrich appointed state board of accounts could not tolerate without a protest. Goodrich appointed a public service commission and so dictated to it that even the friends of Goodrich sought to abolish it. Small wonder, then, that when Goodrich proposes to create a commission to regulate the coal Industry there is opposition to the plan. No commission advocated by Goodrich, appointed by Goodrich or subject to the Goodrich control will ever again have the confidence of the people of Indiana. i And without public confidence no state institution can accomplish much for the betterment of the people of the state. Plenty of Coal It undoubtedly was with some astonishment that the public in general received the recent opinion that no shortage of coal faces the United States, at least for 6,000 years, even if the present rate of consumption be doubled. The opinion was that of state and government inspectors at the annual convention of the Mine Inspectors’ Institute of America. To the great masses of people it seems that something which might be termed a coal shortage faces a t least portions of the United States at the present time, and there doesn’t seem to be any especially rosy view taken of how long this shortage will last. Os course one should look upon the opinion as being of a technical nature —a survey, one might say, of what lies under the ground, or on the surface of the ground in the immediate vicinity of the mines or in other favorite spots for coal to lurk. But what the average individual jvould like to know, sans all technicalities, is how he is to get his necessary winter’s supply of coal in his own homey little coal bin without mortgaging the said bin and Us surroundings. Dangerous Words That the words of a man, If they are pleasingly arranged and convey some sterling bit of wisdom, are long remembered is attested by the fact that there are so many Shakespeare clubs throughout the United States from Maine to Texas, inclusive, and the general use or abuse of his writing*. But it is a bit hazardous at times to remember the words of a man and to forget whether his fame was due to his being a deep student along some line, a writer of fiction, a humorist, or what might he termed just a sort cf good vertical writer. As an example of this there might be cited the case of a Pennsylvania lock-tender who has not slept in a bed for nearly a quarter of a century, due to the statement of Mark Twain that beds were dangerous, as 90 per cent of the people die in them. ‘Are We All Liars? y Every person in Daviess county who made out an assessment blank last spring is a liar, says the governor's state tax commissioners. Every person who listed property for taxation deliberately falsified, and then swore that the falsehood was the truth, is the way Gov. Goodrich’s state beard of tax commissioners have us sized up here in Daviess county. The governor's board of honest men at Indianapolis exempted no one—even the clergymen were included in the blanket denunciation. for the horizontal increase in tax appraisements applied to the whole county. The county and the township assessors were instructed to have the people list their property at the full face value. Every assessor impressed this upon the taxpayers, and the people, as a rule, honestly complied with the mandate. But after all of the taxation blanks had been made cut and sworn to, the state tax board at Indianapolis decided that the people of Daviess county were, individually and collectively, untruthful. Their taxation blanks were false, although sworn to. So the Indianapolis board added 40 per cent to all personal property appraisements in the county with the exception of the city of Washington, where 30 per cent was added. According to the Indianapolis board the taxpayers of the city of Washington are more honest than the people living outside of this . city. In the city they are only 30 per cent liars, while in all other sections of the county they are 40 per cent untruthful.—Washington Democrat. And now, just to make sure that the people of Davies county thoroughly understand Uje degree to which they are declared to have falsified their taxes, Jim Goodrich orders his legislature to pass an act legalizing this action on the part of the tax board. And the majority of the legislators agrf e! i

CHAPTER LXLIIT. “I’m with you,” sail Neal. Routed from Fftoebe’s side, he gladly seized the chance of getting Into Jim's good graces. “I’ll match you for the first throw.” Jim tossed a penny on the table, covered It with his hand snd watched Neal Intently. Neal brought a coin from his pocket, shook it between clasped palms | and lifted bis right hand to show the I Indian had- while Jim s coin lay with i the date up. I “Good boy, Neal, you win.” Jim's voice was bard, yet feverish. Neal shook the dice box.

Again Veal tossed the little cubes out | on -tbe table- and now a sit rolled into I sight, followed by e fone. 1 felt Jim stiffen- and relax. The last toss was a five and a four. Jim raked in the two qusr- ! ters that, lay before him and suggested doubling the stakes. A moment later he was laughing ne.. vously as a one and thens six rolled out at his first light flirt of the dice box. “Better luck next time, kid!” be exclaimed. but hie hands trembled as be handed the box back to Neal. Again Neal lost. Jim clutched the coins eagerly and laughed—-a dry, reckless langh. As he aat there, with Ms hair tossed luto a tumbled raaas and his eyt.% fairly bumtng on Neal and the dice and the jumbled pile of bills and coins in front of him, I became aware of the strange allenc* in the room. The only thing that broke It was Jim's staccato laughter and the rattle of the dice. Suddenly Virginia rose: “Jimmie, dear, will you take me home?

The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEE^ A MAN’S NAME. A business man said the other day that it was not a serious error for a would-be business man, especially a salesman, to forget the name of the unimportant little Mr. Nobody-in-Particular from not much of anywhere with whom he was trying to do business. No man likes to have you forget bis name. If the man is important and is used to receiving attentions then he doesn’t notice your oversight so much, but the small man who gets little notice in the world feels especially sensitive about It and Is especially gratified when you go out of your way to remember him. Often, however, w-hen you are introduced to strangers, it is physically impossible to get their names, partly due to the fact that we Americans are prone to speak indistinctly. Now the best thing to do when you have not heard a man's name distinctly is to make amends for this failure within a short time. Ask someone who knows what his name Is. Better still, go to the man In question and say. “I didn't qnite understand your name. Will you set me right?” Tt is better to do this than to wait until you have to Introduce the stranger to some newcomers and then to have to pause in making your introductions to

Then he*got to his feet and though b staggered against tbe table for a moment, Still the wontd sweet smile struggled back to his face as he assured Virginia that he'd really like advising her. He looked down at the pile of money almost as If weighing it, tb*n he reached out a hand, bis fingers closed to a fist, but instead of opening it to seize the money he pushed it toward Neal. “Take it. Neal—it's yours,” he mattered. And though there were grscleus good byes after that, and reminders of the motor cup race* for which <‘apt Terrv bad Invited ns next day. my evening seemed to end with the moment .Thn pushed the money he bad won from btm hack to Neal.

What was she saying to him—this sister he loved? Did the dice game that had terrified me mean anything to her? Would a worry shared bring us elo3* or make her shut me out behind walls of reserve? * And while I stood pondering and wondering, I felt a strong young arm flung across my shoulders. Neal—my brother Neal, Virginia had shut him off from Phoehe, yet he said nothing of hla own hurt, and merely stood with his arm about me of sering me hla silent sympathy. How gnn \ it waa to feel that whatever came. I had Neal.
