WHAT’S a matter of $43,000 more or less between the county and a construction company? OH, WELL! No guileless young man is going to be trapped in that Chinese game that the morals squad can not interpret. INCIDENTALLY, when*, oh when, will the public begin to get some benefit for the expensive improvement of the Michigan road? REPUBLICANS say Gov. Cox "dreams in millions,” but to date no one has suggested that he revels in a campaign slush fund of Bullions. These Quotas There are other interesting thoughts that ari ■ in connection with those quotas than the idea that, thus far, the \arious republican disclaimers from Hays, Upham, Harding, Wasmuth, New et. show a painful lack of teamwork. No two of them agree in the alibi or denial process. It Is interesting to note, too, that Gov. Cox foresaw efforts at rebuttal, for he reminded the country that all the Newberry charges were vociferously denied, right up to the time Newberry was found guilty. But there are more intriguing thoughts. Foremost among them is the sense of gratification that the Liberty Bond idea of apportioning expense in a national and world crisis can now be put to some real, glorious and lasting use, which is, the return of the Grran’ Ol* Pahty to power. And the dignifying and ennobling of the word "quota,” which used to make a lot of us shiver as we dug down deep in the wallet, is an inspiriting thing. Here in Indiana the quotas are food for much reflection, especially when the $125,000 quota for Indianapolis is set up beside the figures arrayed for other cities. The city ought to feel flattered, no matter whether the quotas are based on income and excess profits taxes which, we are blindly hoping, will be wiped out when a few patriots like Harry New and Jim Watson are helping Harding run the country, or based on the benefits to accrue to the community when once we are restored to the good old days of high protective tariff. If they are based on income and excess profits taxes, Indianapolis should feel glad to cough up almost as much as San Francisco, more than Columbus, Seattle, Toledo and Newark, and more than twice as much as Baltimore and Kansas City. If they are based on rosy days when protective tariff will keep a horde of prosperous foreign countries from ruining our markets, which they might be able to do within the next few hundred years. Indianapolis should likewise feel complimented. For this means the astute gentlemen who run the republican party expect Indianapolis to profit more by a return to what they are pleased to call sound policies, than Minneapolis or St. Paul, wealthy cities that prosper most when wheat, lumber, copper and iron are duly and truly protected by tariff. It means that Indianapolis ought to be a better city than Omaha or Kansas City, which used to worry along somehow in thedays when hides and wool were protected, and a better city than Providence, or Lowell, Lynn and Worcester combined, cities that managed to eke out a living when duties against imported woolen goods, shoes and cottons kept domestic prices high. But just what it is that Indianapolis produces that will be benefited to such a surprising extent by the return of the old days, is not exactly clear. If the truth be known, it is altogether likely that somebody around the republican national headquarters found out how deep the boys hereabouts dug into thfir jeans in an effort to put over Will Feeler for the governorship and Leonard Wood for the presidency; and having found that out, they just naturally figured the boys would cough up just as heartily and heavily for Harding. The Wood boys may produce, but opinion about town is that if the Fesler boosters plank down the money again after the deal they received here in their own county they are better business men than politicians. Without Sincerity Senator Hardings latest contribution to the republican campaign position on the league of na'ions contributes nothing toward proving him a man of sincerity or fitness for the presidency. It is in a measure a repetition of defective arguments and contradictory assertions such as have been punctured time and again by voters with common sense when lesser lights of the republican party sought to present them. Mr. Harding renews the argument that had not the senate refused to ratify the league covenant our troops would now be fighting in Poland, but he offers no explanation as to why the troops of the other nations that did ratify the covenant are not there fighting. He presents his chimerical “court of justice’’ founded on The Hague .tribunal without in any way indicating what measures he would take to bring about the membership in it of those nations which have already accepted the league covenant. 1 . Asa climax of his “first fighting speech’’ he falls back on the already exhausted hypothesis that congress would be compelled to declare war as directed by the supreme council or “dishonor and humiliate” the country. It does not seem to occur to the brilliant mind of the front porch statesman that there exists sufficient love of honor in the hearts of American citizens to demand war •when international complications reach the point -where war is necessary to preserve American honor. The only part of the league of nations covenant which Mr. Harding deigns to discuss at any length is that part of it embodied in article X which he and the other members of the senatorial cabal first opposed because they declared it unconstitutional insomuch as they said it "deprived congress of the right to declare war.” Now Mr. Harding Is conceding that article X does not deprive congress of the sole authority to declare war, but might possibly under imaginary conditions make’ it impossible for congress to refuse to declare war without bringing “dishonor” on the nation. Coming from the lips of an open advocate of a resolution declaring a separate peace with Germany this solicitude for our national "honor” is indeed pathetic. v But if the worst that can be said about article X is that it might some day force congress to act to prevent “staining indelibly the honor of the nation” then article X is one of the things this nation needs worse than Harding. Too Blind to See A letter writer who has not sufficient faith in his own argument to append his name to it writes The Timeß to assert that it seems to him it would be “child’s play” to join the league of nations if congress if to retain the constitutional right to declare war. He says he would like to know what benefits the United States could derive from membership in the league of nations unless the league of nations has the power to declare war at will and sets up a bogie in the form of a supposed situation in which the supreme council might declare war and the congress refuse to declare war. The letter writer apparently assumes that the purpose of the league is solely to declare war, rather than to prevent it. He assumes that the mandates of the league can only be enforced by w’ar. He presumes that disarmament under the league is impossible, that commercial Isolation is ineffective, that international disputes can only bd settled by recourse to arms. • And in conclusion, he assumes that the representative of the United States in the supreme oouncil would, of course, vote for a declaration of wai'Vithout authorization from the only authority for such an authorization —the congress. There are none so blind as those who will not see and it is, of futile to argue with one who can see no advantage in a league to prevent I " War because that league is not in itself empowered to disrupt the peace It is designed to preserve.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

“Sing a song of sixpence, A pocketful of rye; Four and twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie! “When the pie was opened The birds began to sing. Wasn't that a dainty dish To set before a king.” Well, I Just guess it was. And the king said to Puss (for our little traveler was in a palace, you see): “Won’t you have a blackbird?” But of course Puss didn’t know what to do with it. He couldn’t eat a live blackbird, you see; and then the king began to laugh, for it was his birthday, and this pie was given him instead of “A Blackbird Flew Down and Pinched the Staid's Nose!” a cake and the blackbirds instead of candles. And, maybe, he wasn’t the youngest king you and I ever heard of;

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life ~ By Ann Lisle

CHAPTER LXIV. (Continued.) But all the while I “fuasad” I was trying to nerve myself to the point of kissing Virginia when she arrived— and I did it, clinging to her almost tenderly and not letting myself be hurt when she pulled herself away and flung herself into Jim's arms, crying: “You’re not cross with your Jeanle any more—are you, brother-boy?” Jim held her close. Virginia seemed all tenderness —and no tide of cold self-consciousness welled up to nip her warmth. When she came Into the bedroom to remove her hat and furs she chattered away eagerly. Later I came to realise what all her small talk meant, what subject she was trying to avoid. And yet—perhaps her object was kindly— may have been trying to avert the very thing that happened. We, had two delightful hours. Virginia and Jim reviewed sot me some of their childish escapades. And our “party” and the laughing remlnlscenses seemed to bring me close to the warm, human Virginia who had always eluded me heretofore. At zlx Betty came in on our laughing group. Then Neal- and the end of my dream that Virginia and I could be friends. * “Oh, Mrs Daiton I’ve been phoning you” Neal said eagerly. ”1 want to take Phoebe out to dinner. May I?” “That is quite impossible" said Virginia with a suggestion of her old frigidity—then she added more kindly, "Phoebe’s really too young /o dine alone with men.” I suppose Neal should have asked Virginia to chaperone them, but Instead, he

for as there were only twenty-four blackbirds, ~of course the king could only be 24 years old. And then one of the king's servants came in with a pretty gilt cage for Puss to put his bird in; and each one of the guests had a cage too, to put his bird in, and after that the regular feast commenced ; but I’m not going to tell you what all had to eat, for it wbuld make you so hungry that you would go right over to the candy shop and get an ice cream cone. And after the feast was over, they all went out -in the garden, and just as they stepped outside, there came a dreadful scream from the kitchen garden. And what do you suppose happened? Why, Just os one of the maids hung up some pretty pink and blue handkerchiefs on the clothes line blackbird flew down and bit off her nose. I suppose he was angry to some of his brothers and sisters had been baked in a pie , but that wasn’t the poor maid's fault, was It? So then everybody called for the court physician and when he looked at the maid’s nose, he said: “The bird didn't take off a bit. He Just pinched It.’’ “Perhaps he thought It was a cherry,” said Puss wtlh a grin, for the maid’s nose and very red from crying, you see. But when you come to think of it, she wasn't crying before the blackbird came, so how could it have been red? So I guess I was right when I said the blackbird pinched her nose for spite. Well, after that Puss went into the parlor where the queen was eating bread and honey, and then into the counting house where the king was counting money, for he wanted to say goodby and to thank them for his lovely blackbird and the gilt cage. And after that he

insisted with enthusiasm that strove to override her objections. "Oh, please—just this once! I’ve a very special reason. You surely won't refuse now. We’re all friends—aren't we?" • Virginia lifted her eyebrows slightly— It had somewhat the paralyzing effect of being stared at through a lorgnette—and said: ”I’ve told you my rule, Mr. Hyland.” Neale’s face crimsoned. Virginia rose and I followed her Into the bedroom, leaving Betty and Neal to amuse Jim. And when we were alone I made an effort to plead Neal’s cause. “It isn’t as if he were an outsider, Virginia. He's one of us—of our family. Think how splendidly he proved that last night when we needed him." “Heally. Anne,” replied Virginia freezlngly, "I think you might have better taste than to drag that boy Into my brother's affairs.’* For a minute I stood as hurt and amazed as if she had struck me—then my temper flared up. “You dare call me brother an outsider.” I gasped. "But you didn't hesitate to take two real outsiders Into your confidence when you were presum In g-TX manage my husband's affairs. Do yoa think Jim would ever forgive you If he knew that you went to Terry and Betty, and begged them for—a Job?" “Your husband happens to be my brother —kindly remember that. I did what I though best for him. But that didn't include lying t> him.” retorted Virginia araoothly. And as she whirled past me and out of the room I realized that there was war between o*. —Copyright, 1920. ITo be Continued.)
