Logan Payne Cos. Advertising Offices } y ew f o rk, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. “THE WOMAN IN THE CASE’* is never a homely woman. SUGGESTED HEADLINE: “G. O. P. Chiefs Get Cold Feet in Slush Fund Investigation.” - \ NATURALLY, those housewives did not suspect the “meter reader” was a robber. A. G. CAVINS, who succeeds Willard Gemmill as assistant attorney general assigned to the state board of accounts, does not appear to be so particular as to where he works. The Committee's Problem The subcommittee of the congressional committee now sitting inChicago to hear testimony relative to the republican plan to buy the presidency is an investigating body, not a tribunal with the power to pass judgment on charges that are made or contemplated. As its sessions continue it becomes more and more evident that it is not going to prove or disprove the merits of the astounding assertions that have been made by Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio. x The attitude of Gov. Cox and his friends and associates has been and is that the committee should not be deprived of any leads that might enable it to uncover the truth about the Will Hays’ campaign fund. A number of prominent democrats connected with the national organization formed for the purpose of electing Mr. Cox have been called before the committee and interrogated. None of them professes to know the evidence on which Mr. Cox has based his charges. All of them know that Mr. Cox would not have made his charges without being in a position to substantiate them. Mr. Cox has no reason to desire to appear before this committee. It is not such a body as might pass on the sufficiency of his evidence, which he has the undoubted right to disclose as he sees fit. On the other hand, Mr. Cox has no desire to deprive the committee of any opportunity it may wish to obtain the same evidence which he now possesses. The senatorial committee is confronted with the necessity of doing some real digging if it desires to keep pace with Mr. Cox. The governor has expressed his willingness to furnish the committee with leads that will help it dig. In the meanv. hile, however, he has made it plain that he intends to submit the evidence which he possesses to the same jury before which he made his charges—the people of the United States. Consequently, the senatorial committee is up against it. The committee is unwilling to call Mr. Cox lest it be the agency for getting before the public the evidence of republican profanation. It is also unwilling to concede that Mr. Cox could obtain such evidence while it can not. Steady , Boys There is a regard for the rights of others, running through the American character which is very commendable. This may be plainly seen in the fact that railroad employes recently remained at work long after they felt that they were not receiving sufficient wages. For over three years past, during government control as well as before and after, certain adjustments of wages were insisted upon by railroad employes. These demands, however insistent, were not accompanied by strikes, nor, during tho war, by any thought of a cessation of support to the boys in France. / Every tardy award showed that the employes were in the right. Some relief was invariably granted along the lines asked. The awards themselves show that the men were in the right; otherwise the relief would not have been granted. Neither would the awards have been acquiesced in by the employer if essentially incorrect. Although the employes were in the right and they had been paid wages less than they should have received, the unadjusted injustice did not abate the war work of these men. Railroad communication would have ceased had the employes possessed less regard for their duty and less conservatism in their relation to the public. To continue work where the conditions, particularly tho wages, are not right requires something more than love of a job. It is the sense of doing one's duty which makes such a continuance endurable, it was a regard for the rights of others, of the public and of the support due the government that kept the roads going. Men engaged in other lines of endeavor, especially the coal fields, ought not to overlook the splendid example of fulfillment of public obligation that was set by the railroad employes in the stress of the war’s demands. For Want of a Bench The city of Indianapolis possesses one of the most beautiful works of art in the world, yet how few people see it! And how few people who look at it recognize it and appreciate it! The monument in the Circle is surpassed by few, if any, great shafts in the world as a thing of beauty. It stands for a beautiful idea and is one of the pioneers erected to Perpetuate the veneration for the private soldier. In it every one may do honor to those who gave life for country. One of the reasons for failure to enjoy this monument is the lack of facilities for so doing. To admire a piece of art requires study and contemplation of the work. There is not a bench nor place around the Circle where one may Bit for a moment and absorb the beauty of the cascades. Not a seat is provided where one may rest and contemplate the heroic figures wrought of stone and metal. If a stranger pauses on the monument, sitting on a convenient railing, immediately he is ordered to move on by a caretaker who seems to delight in his effective activities. The great state of Indiana will let you look at this work of art but you can not sit down while so doing. Just keep on the move, contemplate if you can. It might be said that with seats placed there, loafers would become obnoxious about the monument. A policeman or two who would regulate the traffic along the street and protect the public, would be a sufficient answer to this argument. In University park there are many benches. They are alwavs occupied in good weather. Why not try some about this great piece of art, for the better study of the work and for the convenience of the public? The Garbage Grab Members of the Charles W. Jewett administration have admitted what has long been known to the public—that the garbage plant purchased from J. P. Goodrich et al. for $175,000 is a “white elephant,” that not only cost the taxpayers of the sanitary district a fortune but is costing! them considerably more than it is worth in expenditures maintenance. Conservative figures show that Indianapolis is expending $70,000 a year for the collection of garbage, about $25,000 a year for the operation’ of the garbage plant and $7,875 a year for the interest on the bonds with which the garbage plant was purchased. This is a total of $102,875 which the taxpayers are annually called on to meet. I Before Mayor Jewett went into office the garbage of Indianapolis was and disposed of at an annual cost of about $50,000 a year under k. contract with the. Indianapolis Reduction company. This company Offered to continue the collection and disposal of the garbage under a Bmg time contract for approximately $85,000 a year and the mayor opposed contract on the ground that the price was exorbitant. Now he is operating the garbage plant under a system that the taxpayers more than SIOO,OOO. It is not surprising that the administration is unwilling to reves.l the real costs of disposing of the city’s garbsge. Mr. Jewett and his to do what a private without ex-

While Robert Sloane, a convicted bootlegger, was serving a sentence Imposed by the federal court he was taken into the criminal court and sentenced to serve days concurrently with the federal sentence. On Dec. 28, 1919, Judge Albert Anderson ordered this concurrent sentence set aside and denounced the proceedings as ‘‘a mere farce.” Judge Anderson said: “I haven’t any objections, except as a citizen, to tbe criminal court being made a mere puppet show, but wheh they attempt to Inter-

What is a Chinook wind? C. H. A. This is a name given to a strong, warm and dry south or west wind, descending the eastern slopes of the Rocky mountains into Montana and Wyoming, evaporating or melting the snow and bringing great relief In cold weather. The name was probably given it because It blew from the territory occupied by the Chinook Indians. CORN NOT ALWAYS CORN. Is the groin we call corn, known as corn the world over? R. O. j A.
