WHO has the concession for photographing local celebrities on Senator Harding’s front porch? THAT RULING against the use of liquor in factory first aid stations may be in the interest of another campaign to prevent accidents. APPARENTLY the traffic squad is not having any better luck in compelling observation of parking rules and light laws than in the expediting of traffic in Meridian street. - More Sidestepping P. Goodrich’s public service commission, consisting in the majority of republican state committee employes and ex-members of the Indianapolis News staff, is experiencing no small amount of difficulty in avoiding the street car situation in Indianapolis. Several, weeks ago it£ chairman announced that while the commission was ready to rule on the “service at cost” petition of the street car company it “preferred to await a conference with Samuel Ashby,” counsel of the Jewett administration. Os course the preference of the commission for a conference with a representative of the Jewett administration prevailed to the interminable delay of public business. Whether this delay had any connection with the rumored pledge of Goodrich to permit Jewett to dictate in the street car affairs, or was more recently brought about,ls a matter of conjecture. But the fact remains that Mr. Lewis departed on the second two-week vacation from horizontally increasing utility rates and the street car muddle was left unsolved. Mr. Lewis returned to the city and immediately plunged the commission into a railroad rate hearingNow, since the rate hearing does not promise to last long, the commission has shown a highly commendable interest in whether or not the citizens of Indianapolis are going to have gas next winter and has summoned the directors of the gas company to appear before it for interrogation next Monday. In the effort to avoid consideration of the street car situation it appears that the commissioners have set a very dangerous precedent. For if it is possible for them to summon the directors of the gas company to be interrogated concerning the visible supply of gas, why is it not possible for them to summon the directors of the street car company for interrogation as to whether or not we are to have street cars next winter? The commission is to be commended for its interest in the gas situation. just as it is to be utterly condemned for its delay and lack of interest in the street car service. The peculiarity about the proposed investigation of the gas situation lies in the fact that the commission has voluntary decided to take it up at a time when every effort is being made to force it to give consideration to the street car situation. Knowing as we do that E. I. Lewis was one of the most ardent of those gentlemen who brought the gas company into existence and that he was i tor a long time financially interested in it, we can ..understand his grave concern if the gas company is in need of anything like consideration from the commission which he now heads. What we do not understand is just what steps Mr. Lewis and his associates desire the public or the street car company to take to induce Goodrich’s commission to lend an ear to what Dr. Henry Jameson of the street car company says is a “very serious situation.” Consternation! The memory of the oldest republican in existence will be taxed to recall a time when the republican party was in such a state of consternation as now. From the moment Jimmy Cox of Ohio was nominated at San Francisco right down to the last episode in the *campaign there has been a steady march of panic through the ranks of party of "intellectual aristocracy and kulture.” In the first place the nomination of Mr. Cox was not on the program laid out by the astute Mr. Hays several months before the convention. In the second place the overwhelming approval of the administration of President Wilson as witnessed at Ran Francisco was not at all in concert with the assurances of Mr. Hays that the democratic rr.rty was utterly disgusted with its 1 adership. In the third place the absolute refusal of the rank and file of the republican party to “whoop ’er up” for Senator Harding and the senatorial cabal was a painful and surprising jolt to the single-track mind of the wiliest propagandist that ever was elected chairman of a national party. In the fourth place, the campaign tactics of the democratic nominee are wholly beyond the understanding of the pussyfooting gentleman from Sullivan who has to call a conference before he feels free to admit that the world rotates. The republican national campaign is not going to suit the republican leaders at all, for the aforesaid reasons. Mr. Hays, by the expenditure of thcusands~oJ dollars, had prepared to conduct this campaign on a platform of hate directed against the president. He suddenly discovered that the premises were false, the opportunity gone and the program distasteful even to the committee - hirelings. Separated from a program of hate and plunged suddenly into a campaign with issues Mr. Harding exposed his utter lack of qualification to lead. His Stand, or rather his lack of stand, on the league of nations, alienated more votes in his own party than it won from democratic sources. He proved a sore disappointment to the “greatest little harmonizer” of the country, and the harmony that has resulted is such as to make the barbershop chord a credit. Just about the time the senatorial leaders who had demonstrated their control of the republican party at Chicago gathered in the same old back room at 2 a. m. to determine what was necessary to elect “one of us” president, Jimmy Cox started into Indiana with a punch In every r-entence of his campaign speeches that took the offensive from the senatorial cabal and definitely marked out the campaign for the front porcn denizens. v Neither Mr. Hays nor the other republican purveyors of parlor platitudes can understand Mr. Cox’s remarks about a campaign fund of $15,000,000 for the purpose of corrupting the electorate. They have become so accstomed to having a few million dollars at their finger-tips that they do not understand how anyone could object to the use of money in politics. The party that pays $2.50 for a testimonial can see no wrong in paying SIOO for a speech. The party that hires room for $6,000 for the use of a negro club can see no harm in hiring a floor of the most expensive hotel for white headquarters at a cost of SIOO,OOO a year. The party thht collects SIOO from a policeman holding an SI,BOO job can see no reason why it should not collect SIO,OOO from a high-tariff protected baron with an income of SIBO,OOO a year.’ In its philosophy to overlook the opportunity is a crime. Therefore-and thereafter there was panic aplenty when Mr. Cox let it be known that he did not propose to compete with the money grabbers but did intend to tell how much they were grabbing, from whom and for what purpose. It had not been done before. ' In all the political experience of the “clean young man from Sullivan” no one had ever arisen to object to the methods of getting the money which he had reduced to a fine system. Is it any wonder that Freddie Upham hasten* to tell how much of the slush fund he has been permitted to handle as national chairman? Is it any wonder that lesser campaign plunderers than Mr. Hays rise to shout that Mr. Cox is “talking nonsense” and cannot prove his assertions ? Verily the 6leep of the republican campaign manager is disturbed by this man Cox! If he keeps on talking some do not live in Missouri axe likely to be compelled to return a few more checks.

escort Phoebe home. I had an Idea that all this delight In each other which Jim and Phoebe were showing had really depths of which neither was conscious. Wasn’t Jim pathetically eager to be put in touch with Virginia? And wasn't that blinding him to Phoebe's probable desire to see Neal again? Phoebe insisted on helping me get dinner, and while we worked a mew problem assailed me. Terry had said I need only keep silent In order to further his acheme—but, as a matter of fact, wouldn’t I have to coach Neal for his part In It? With this In view f begged Phoebe In to entertain Jim. about two eaconds after Neal got Into the house. Then, hardening my heart to her hurt little glance, I turned to Neal. But he spoke first: “Anne, have you ever told Jim about my paying you ten a week?” “Neal, why do eak that so brutally?” I demanded angrily.

Now, you know what I think.” I swallowed a lump in my throat and prepared to protest But before I could eay a word the phone shrilled out Its command. Neal and I stared at each other for a second. Then moistening my lips and throwing back my shoulders in simulation of courage, I hurried over and laid my hand on the door knob. Phoebe met me in the doorway. “I answered. It’s Virginia—she wants to speak to you, Anne.” A bit unsteadily I put the receiver t 4 ray ear. But it was Betty's voice—not Virginia’s—that responded to my greeting.—Copyright, 1920.
