Jntata JJatlu (Times INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. Daily Except Sunday, 25-£9 South Meridian Street Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351. MEMBER OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. . (Chicago. Detroit, St. Louis, Logan Payne Cos. Advertising Offices } Xrwr York, Boston. Payne, Burn* A Bmlth, Inc. THE STEAMER SUSQUEHANNA sailed from Bremen, Germany, Saturday with 2,000 passengers. Probably being colonised by friends of Senator Harding. INDIANAPOLIS never failed to come across, when asked, for the boys in the world war. Will It fail to pay a final tribute to the boys in blue by denying them rooms? RUSSIAN SOVIET planned to mine 4,000 pounds of gold and 3,600 pounds of platinum in 1920. Got only 192 pounds of gold and 241 of platinum in first six months. Balance of time spent arguing. It’s lots more fun confiscating wealth after the other fellow labors for it. v On Prison Reform The meetings of the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, to be held in Indianapolis on the 16th to the 18th of this month will not attract much attention by reason of any spectacular features, but they will, nevertheless, be exceedingly interesting from the wonderful good this institute has done and from the great human interest in the work it undertakes. This body is organized to study the workings of the criminal law of the United States and, indeed, of the world, and to improve its administration both as to the law itself and as to the treatment of the criminal. It is within this generation that a wonderful transition has occurred in the theory of the administration of criminal law and restraint of the criminal. The courts went to seed; they simply became ridiculous and in criminal matters the judge and the state’s attorney were more on trial than the criminal. An error of law which would neither prejudice the standing of the criminal on trial nor change the result, often caused years’ delay and wore out the respect for law and its enforcement. It followed naturally that what should be the backbone of every civilization became its laughing stock. Then, in Italy first, began a careful and scientific study of crime and the criminal. The meetings to be held here are a result and continuation of that study.

There was a time when conviction of a crime—even a lesser one — meant ruin for life. Now it does not. Formerly state penal institutions were perfect hell holes ruled by politics and avarice. They made criminals If by any chance there were committed to them hitman beings not wholly criminal. The law permitted and even fostered this. -Prior to the indeterminate sentence law a Jury of good and true men in a community which had suffered unendurable annoyance from say petty chicken thieves would, on convicting some offender, sentence him to the full extent of the law. Revenge was taken on him, with poor excuse of making an example of him. Thereby, as often as not, a criminal was made. Perhaps it was the first offense; anyhow, no unusual severity was needed in correcting such a person. Novf the theory, at least, of this is changed. Today, prison officers, supposedly nonpartisan and generally selected on the supposition of special qualifications, are expected to study the persons committed to them. It is within the discretion of these officers to release the prisoners at the expiration of the minimum term, but they may keep the chimlnal for the maximum term. So it behooves the convicted party to reform and to behave, thus gaining the good opinion of his keepers. This theory is beautiful, compared with the old system. If properly administered it achieves much good. In fact, under it, wonderful and lasting results have been accomplished. In all sincerity it may be stated that the stigma of disgrace is not now a life time burden on one who has served a term in prison. This is a humanitarian work, backed by public sentiment, and fostered by the institute. Under the laws of Indiana the delinquent individual should be reformed and rebuilt and given a chance in life. In the light of modern knowledge, our prison administration is open to severe criticism and to the outside observer we wonder how methods used can ever be hoped to reform any criminal. Take the Indianapolis jail, as an example. We will show our distinguished visitors where twenty-four prisoners recently took a hasty departure without action by the indeterminate law. We will take thdm to the federal court and tell them what Judge Anderson said about the feeding of prisoners In that notorious prison known as the Marlon county jail. They will have exhibited to them the grand jury indictment against the sheriff who kept and still keeps that prison. They will read the testimony as to how gambling was made a prison pastime while the work of reforming men went on. If they doubt they can go to the jail and see the men under whose administration this was ren dered safe and who still hold their Jobs, vindicating the majesty of the law. We will tell them with pride how we separate those convicted of less serious crimes, such as theft and obtaining money under false pretense, from criminals over 30 years of age. and keep them at the reformatory at Jeffersonville. Possibly Gov. Goodrich will explain how these young men are punished by forcing them to labor at stripping coal mines owned by private companies. Os course he will explain that Pierre F. Goodrich, and not he, owne€ an interest in the mine whpre these boys were compelled to work. Then the governor will tell how he pardons these unfortunates when they have been sufficiently punished and are made honest by such means. The members of the institute Will probably think considerable and say nothing. It is the part of the guest so to do. It should be on record, however, that the better citizens of Indiana confess that the Indianapolis jail is rotton, even If It does retain the eamo officers; they acknowledge with shame that the use of convicts on private work for a few individuals is gTaft and wholly indefensible, archaic and Inhuman. Let us hope the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology will not carry away too poor an opinion of Indiana. Sure Things One of the difficult things of life is to look a fact in the face. In the first place, the fact may be elusive; in the second, vision often is defective. Take, for example, the blind men who went to see the elephant, as described by the Poet Saxe. Each grasped a part of the animal and each had an opinion differing from the other. It was thought the animal was like a rope, a wall, or a tree. In life, no satisfaction is equal to that of having seen or mastered a fact. Really truth is alone satisfactory. Some, as they grow older, lose their abhorrence for the multiplication tables and regard them as gems because they contain indisputable facts. One of the facts in Indianapolis life is the growth of the city. Another irf the presence here of over 300,000 living, thinking people, each of whom has an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Still another is the inevitable conclusion that the city and its environs must be beautiful, harmonious and correct, to afford the necessary happiness to its citizens. Chuck holes in the streets mar a ride in the finest car; unsightly crooks in thoroughfares must be smoothed out; ugly tumbled-down buildings should be removed. All these things will be eventually corrected. It is a fact they will be. It is a fact they must be. It is just a question of time until they are. The city may plan indefinitely, but without execution, honestly enforced, such planning fails to yield the maximum good. The town kicker may halt improvements for a season, just to bring maledictions on his own head. The city administration may block improvements for a term, thereby to be damned by those who were entitled to fairer and better treatment. The tight wad may force endurance of insanitary, even dangerous conditions, upon those who must endure them for a while, but only for a while. Any fact being a fact, it is just as sure of manifestation as is water to find its level. Even murder will out. Those who oppose progress, in civic affairs, as well as in others, are fighting a losing fight. The public sees some facts dimly but will see them face to face, some day. It eventually will see them, correctly, too. Then it will enter into a better enjoyment of life, as its vision becomes clearer. It has taken the public a long time to realize what it has by the very nature of things; what blessings are artificially withheld from its enjoyment. As the mass of citizens has awakened and faced the facts, it ha3 acquired and had the enjoyment of whatever it wanted. There is nothing too good for the citizen of Indianapolis; he has but to face the fact and he may enjoy anytjgL; that h.j really wants. It will com? to the fact that it.

Beverly Howard, a notorious negro politician in the first ward, wag tried In the city court for keeping a gambling house, on Aug. 2.1, 1019, and appealed his cage to the Marion criminal court where he was not tried until July 23, 1920, almost a year later. I would like to ask the republican candidate for prosecuting attorney If this was a mere oversight, and if not, what was the reason for this

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

You remember In the last story we left off just as Puss Junior finished speaking to the noble lords and ladles. Well, as soon as the feast was over. Sir Launcelot bid them all goodby and returned to the Court of King Arthur, and little Puss Junior and his friend the Blackbird went upon their way and by and by they came to a great pine tree. It was withered and old and its bare branches stretched up to the sky and creaked a sad refrain as the wind

“The randies were re-lighted In a Jiffy.’*

whistled through the forest. And right at the foot of the old dead pine tree eat the queerest looking lfttle dwarf you ever saw. He had a great hump upon hie back and his little red coat hunched up behind and his breeches ware tucked Into the tops of a pair of high boots, and the cap upon hit head waa green with a long, high peak to It. “What .can I do for you?” asked the dwarf, and then he began to sing: “Oh, way down deep below the ground A wondrous fortune I have found; Gold and silver, diamonds, too, And rubies of a scarlet hue. Come, 1 will show you what I've found. In my dungeon underneath the ground.” "Have a care,” whispered the Blackbird. “I do not like the dwarfs looks.” But Puss wasn't afraid. Oh my no. He wasn't afraid ot anything, and that le the reason I guess he’s bad so many exciting adventures. And I'm glad he was so brave, for If he hadn't been these stories would have ended long ago. Weil, any way, the dwarf turned and opened a little door in the old dead ptno tree and motioned to Puss and tbo Blackbird to follow. And after they had gone down a s'eep pair of winding stone steps they found themselves In a great cavern dimly lighted with candles. "Over here Is a great chest full of diamonds. Come and see them." So Puss and the Blackbird wdnt over to took at the diamonds, when, ail of a sudden. Just as they were leaning over the great chest, out went ail the candles, leaving them In total darkness. And then a low deep voice said: “Underneath the ground you tire. Far from moon, or sun, or star; Kverlastlng darkness here. Nevermore will light appear.” Wasn’t that a dreadful thing to hear? And the Blackbird was so frightened that he turned pale, which is a strange thing for a blackbird to do. “Goodness me!” said Puss aloud, and the Blackbird fluttered over and sat on his shoulder. “Now we are In a fix.” And then what do you suppose puss did. Why, he turncl around three times the little magic gold ring he wore on his toe

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER LXVIII. “Weil where do we go from here, Mrs. Jimmie?" asked Sheldon, as he followed me Into his low-hung gray racer. ’ Shall we make It a epln up the River road? “Anywhere yon like. Just to skim along in tbli adorable car's enough fox me,” I replied, truthfully—forgetting m> chagrin at the way Evvy had forced Sheldon to play host to me, whether or no he liked it. “You might have said Just to sklia along—with me—was enough for you,” suggested Sheldon, with such a nice boyish grin that I grinned right back to meet It. ~ “I might hare—but what's a compliment from a staid old married women like me?” Sheldon turned and examined me critically. _ , "Not so staid, Mrs. Jimmie. You re sparkling like a two-year-old before wo even start.” “Well, I feel like a prancing colt turned out to pasture,” X confessed, “I’ve been shut in for days, you know.” Sheldon patted my arm In what I took to be a nice, big-brotherly fashion, and then silence fell between us. He devoted himself to the exacting task of drlviug through the heavy traffic of the avenue. I became absorbed la the luxury ot rolling up tbat avenue as part of the stream of pleasure cars. Instead of racing wildly from curb to curb In a wild effort to avoid the vast tangle of onrushing wheels. At last we reached the park. Sheldon turned into it and a clean, woody smell

and in a Jiffy the candles were lighted and the little dwarf said: “Where did you get that ring?” And then he tried to take it from Puss, but whether he did or not you qiust wait to hear i u the next story.—Copj right, 1929. (To Continued.) | HOROSCOPE “The stars incline, but do not compel.” WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 8. Saturn and the Sun are in benefle aspect early today, but later astrologers read that Mars, Jupiter and Urunus are mildly adverse. Tbo planetary influences are encouraging for all who cling to tradition and seek to perpetuate power through reactionary policies. During this configuration it should be easy to make in Impression on the public mind by appealing to precedent and by making the instinct of caution active for self-protection. Men past middle age have the best sort of direction of the stars and should be exceedingly fortunate at this time when the Sun is favorable to their ambitions. There la a sign that seems to Indicate a decline in prices of wearing apparel of certain fabrics. Wool Is subject to a planet tbat seems to indicate continued high prices. Both men and women are subject to influences making for many forms of egotism. The magnifying of self Is due to stars that bode extreme expressions of vanity and arrogance. Astrologers point out that It Is not necessary to accept ,tbe guidance of sinister planetary forces and that all who seek real righteousness will study the self-forgetfulness tbat Is tbe beginning j of wisdom. Persons whose blrtbdate It Is should pay close attention to routine business and avoid speculation. They have a Lappy augury for the year. Children born on this day may be high-strung and nervous, but exceed Ingly gifted and sure to use their talents profitably.—Copyright, 1920.

blew across our faces. I drew a great breath of it into my luhgs. “It’s better than the dust and perfume and patchouli of the avgnue,” murmured Sheldon, as if agreeing with somethin* I bad said. “Oh, how comfy of you to understand my sniffing like a little dog," I said. "To show how well I understand I’D drive down the paths where all the batsam and pine trees grow. So prance away, little colt and sulff away, little dog!” Os course, we laughed at our nonsense —and that laugh made us really Just ns, friendly and at home with each other as Me hnd been pretending to be. “Like It?” asked Sheldon ns we drove through u narrow path under a great cliff hung with birch nnd pine. “Like it? 1 love it I” 1 cried, “This Is the first friendly little drive without quantities of folks along I've had since—my honeymoon. It rests me and makes me feci all dean and awed.” I wasn't coquetting when I said it, but all In a moment I knew Bbeldon thought I was. He slowed the car, and leaning across the wheel, he looked Into my eyes and said, In a very quiet, Intent voice: “You are sweet! You dear little, quaint little lilac lady—you are sweeter than I ever guessed. You aren’t afraid to say you are enjoying yourself and youaren't too blase to enjoy the simplest things. How under the sun have I managed to miss you all these months?”—Uonvrlirht 1920. ' ’ (To Be Continued.)
