A NEWS ITEM from Marlon says that the city mayor held police court Sunday and fined five men for intoxication. Marion having been dry for years, we want to know how these men got theirs?

Eschbach Passes the Buck \ The state hoard of accounts, of which Jesse Eschbach is the chief, was called upon by the members of the school board of Indianapolis several months ago to make an investigation of lax conditions in the administration of the business affairs of the spools after the Daily Times had exposed the fact that thousands of dollars of school money were being wasted and spent illegally. The school board, as it is now constituted, realized that the methods of transacting business as employed by George Hitt, business director could not long continue without creating a scandal of serious proportions. Particularly was this realized when It was shown In the columns of this paper that an expenditure of more than $50,000 had been made in the remodeling of one school building on the repair of which the school board had authorized the expenditure of not more than $2,500. The state board of accounts delayed making a report for months and when it did make a preliminary or partial report, It placed this report in the hands of the Indianapolis Star, a newspaper of which Mr. Hitt was formerly receiver and whose editor had some time previously warned members of the school board against any effort to remove Mr. Hitt from the business directorship of, the schools. Since that time there has been an effort, participated in by The Star, Charles Barry of the school board, and other proponents of Mi*, Hitt, to make it appear that whatever has been done in the management of the school business has been done by authority of this school board and this school board must assume responsibility for the actions of its business director whether they were authorized, lawful or not. Contributing to this movement, the purpose of which appears to be to spread the responsibility for improper business methods in the administration of George Hitt over the whole school board, Mr. Eschbach says: “If School Commissioner Charles Barry is correctly quoted regarding the manner improvements were authorized at school No. 69, every member of the Indianapolis school board and the business director are guilty of violating both the civil and criminal statutes.” Mr. Eschbach here gives an excellent example of “passing the buck.” It makes no difference whatsoever whether Mr. Barry is correctly quoted or not. The question of whether the civil and criminal laws were violated in the remodeling of School 69 revolves entirely around the question of whether or not Mr. Hitt had legal authority to spend the sums in excess of $2,500 which he did spend in the remodeling of this school, without a contract, without bids and without the knowledge of some of the members of the school board. The board of commissioners can speak legally only through the minutes of these sessions, as has been pointed out by President Crippen. If the minutes of the board authorized Mr. Hitt to remodel this school regardless of cost without the formality of bids. etc., then the members of the school board are equally guilty with Mr. Hitt of violation of the law. - If the minutes do not authorize the expenditures that Mr. Hitt made and which are declared to have been unlawfully made, then he alone is guilty of the violations of the civil and crimiial laws to which Mr. Eschbach refers. The minutes of the school board are open to Mr. Eschbaoh's examiners. He has been requested to m: :e an examination of the whole affair. If, in the course of his examination, he discovers violations of both the criminal and the civil laws It is his sworn duty to fix the responsibility for these violations and to start the machinery of Justice for the prosecution of those responsible. The chief examiner of the state board of accounts ought to be able to ascertain who violated the law In the matter of the remodeling of School 69 and he ought not to be involved in what is very plainly an effort on the part of Mr. Hitt's friends to excuse him by invovllng others in what seems to be admitted was a violattbn of the civil and criminal statutes.

A Simple Issue Stripped of the surplusages that have been thrown about it through the Inability of the republican party to agree concerning it, the great national Issue of the league of nations is very simple. Thirty-four nations of this world have banded themselves together for the purpose of enforcing peace throughout the world by concerted action under the direction of a board of directors composed of representatives of each of these nations. These thirty-four nations comprise moat of the governments of the world with the exception of Germany, Mexico, Russia, Turkey and the United States. It is proposed by the democrats in this campaign that the United States Join with the thisty-four governments in the league of nations. It is proposed by the republicans in this campaign that the United States refused to join with these nations In this league and endeavor to formulate an International court of appeals for the adjustment of international difficulties. The republicans are alone in the suggestion of an international court. They do not even have the support of Germany, Rusajß, Turkey or Mexico In advocating a substitute for the league of nations and these four unspeakable allies constitute all the nations except the United States that are today outside the pale of the league. The republican opposition to the participation of the United States In the league is based — First, on the argument that those nations that join it surrender their sovereignty, but thirty-four other nations that have joined the league continue to exercise their sovereignty as before. Second, on the assumption that the league possesses power to precipitate a state of war between nations which might Involve the'United States in war without its consent. But no action can be taken by the supreme council of the league without the unanimous consent, of the council, on which the United States would be represented. Third, on the assumption that the congress of the United States has the sole power to declare war and membership in the league would abridge this right. But the constitution of the United States, which grants to congress the sole right to declare war, can not be abridged or altered by any treaty or compact between nations and thirty-four nations of the league stand ready today to accept the United States into full membership in the league under these conditions. The question of whether or not the United States joins the league of nations becomes simply a question of whether this country desires to join with thirty-four others in a compact to enforce peace or whether It desires to refrain from participation in the only real effort that has been made in history to abolish war. Indiana voters who believe in the enforcement of peace will cast their ballots for, James M. Cox for president and Thomas Taggart for senator. Those who wish to remain in the company of Germany, Russia, TuX.ey and Mexloo aa the few nations of the world that are unwilling to stand for disarmament and the abolishment ctf war will vote for Harding for president and WiktsOa for senator.

The republican county commissioners appointed Arthur C. Whiteside, pauper undertaker for the county, and the state board of accounts In a published report of May 14, 1913, found that he burled a pet dog named “Woody” with the bodies of three babies; that he burled bodies In graves ranging from 11 to 18 inches deep, and such that rodents and vermin entered and made nests in them; that he collected money from the county for the burial of paupers whose bodies he turned over to medical Institutes for fees; that be collected money from the county for the burial of persons whose relatives also paid for their funeral. On Sept. 23. 1919, Whiteside pleaded guilty In the Marlon criminal court to presenting false claims to the county and was fined 351C.95 and sentenced to the state reformatory for from two to four-

CHAPTER AX. “Want to dig In a bit at accountingT“ asked Neal, after dinner on the very day when Evvy came inarching back into our lives. “I sure do,” replied Jim, "especially as my Instructor will be trotting over to Washington soon.” Neal colored. He shuffled his feet like a boy called on to speak a piece In school. At last he found voice: “It’s like this—they need men to go over right away. And my number was called today. 8o I'll forget that induction Into the artillery and go —wherever I’m needed. I get my medical exam, tomorrow.” “Neal, Neall Maybe that means you’ll go across—” I cried, frightened at the Imminence of It. Then my eyes caught those of my soldier husband, and 1 flu lshed my sentence with two words 1 hadn’t planned to say when I began it, “How wonderful." “That’s the stuff, Neal. Go where you’re needed —and thank your fate that you can go,” said Jim quietly. .They they burled themselves In their books, and I got out Jlm’a notes and trunscrlted an outline for the next Haldane article. I had done about a page when the 'phone rang, and I answered with an irritable “Hello!” "Evenin’, Mrs. Jimmie, Terry speaking. Think our Jim Is In the mood to meet his new chief? I’ve NoPfeys out in my car and ’’ “Splendid!" I interrupted enthusiastically. “Are you down atalrs? Come right up. You seem always to arrive at Just the right time.” Hack went the receiver on its hook, aud I turned to announce our guests, hut Jim forestalled me: "Anne, I could have sworn it was Terry the second I heard your voice. No matter how you're feoling. that lad seems to witch you into a good mood. Hypnotism, 1 call it."

| IN FLANDERS FIELDS Two years ago the batteries of the Huns were laying down their terrific barrages along the battle lines in Europe, literally creating that masterpiece of war literature; “In Flanders fields the popples blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place. In two short years the lesson of that horrible conflict, the purpose of | that tremendous sacrifice, has been so nearly forgotten that in the United | States senate the weaklings 101 l in comfort and seek to set aside the supreme sacrifices of Flanders fields, and end the struggle between kultur and civilization by a “resolution of peace." We are the dead. Short days ago we lived v felt dawn, Saw' sunset glow, loved and wre loved— And now we lie * In Flanders fields. Twenty-four months after the heart of this nation was torn by the noble passion that swelled the bosom or the just, the right and the brave, our chosen representatives in congress have swept aside the purest sentiments that ever sottled on the peaceful Potomac, and are today seeking dishonorable peace with the Hunnish hordes of destruction. “Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from falling hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. Down from hands of that multitude who offered up their lives that the government of Washington might live there fell the torch .if civilization, of enlightment and progress, yea even of life Itself, and today, in only a fraction of a decade the Holy Flames for the perpetuation of which whole armies died are sinking to the embers of forgotten ashes. ‘"lf ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though popples grow In Flanders fields. Think you faith Is being kept? Think you that when a great nation deserts its allies, its pledges, brushes aside its ideals, forgets its dead in Flanders fields, and seeks its material comforts at the cost of the world's peace, it “keeps the faith?” "We shall not sleep, though popples grow In Flanders fields. Think you the dead can ever sl4ep, betrayed, forgotten, defamed, deprived of their span of life to no avail? Think you the youth, the manhood, the chivalry of a nation will ever again respond as bravely to the call of God for civilization when the supreme sacrifice leads but to an onipty peace? When men must die and grief must walk like a pestilence throughout 300,000 homes to make it possible for fawning fools in marble halls to rant and rail of a treaty “too hard" on the Huns! Is it only the popples that blow in remembrance of the dead who lie In Flandefs fields? —Reprinted by Request

An April 21, 1920, with the written consent of the republican judge of the Marlon criminal court, and the republican prosecuting attorney, he was given a temporary parol* by our republican governor for five days. There is now on file in the governor’s office, a letter from the superintendent of the stats reformatory, Mr. Shideler, under date of March 27, 1920, In which he says that Whiteside should receive, a “commutation of sentence to read from ono to fourteen years, that he might be released next September, as this would be PUNISHMENT ENOUGH FOR HIM.” If I am elected prosecuting attorney, I will not consent to any Vacations, paroles or commutations of sentence for a man who defames the dead, steals from the county and robs the relatives of the dead.

"Oh, I’m * King Fish, brave and bold. And I rule with my sceptre and crown of gold; And If any fish dare question me I'll tend him away to the big blue sea, Where the Sharks and Dolphin* and big Wbalea are, And the angry water* dash on the bar, And the rocks where the lighthouse stands to clear Will cut him la two If he swims too near.” And after that the King Fish waved hi* sceptre and took ott hi* gold crown •n<l bowed very politely to Puns Junior. "I’m glad to meet you, Puea Junior," •aid hi* fish majesty, graciously, ’for I have beard much about you from a cousin of mine who live# in th# silver moat that surrounds the- castle of my I,ord of Carabas, where lives your famous father Pus* In Boots” "And how Is nv dear father?" asked Pass anxiously, for he had not beard from his fond parent for a long time. "He sleeps much In the royal garden,” "Pus# Pels Oh So Sleepy In Ills Helmet." replied the King Fish, "but he is still active and strong."

And after that Puss thanked the dove pilot for carrying him sway from th# wickod Giant Troublesome, ne I told you In the last story, and ofT he went once more upon hla two good hind feet with their famous red-topped boots, and by-and-by ho came to a great big, tremendous spider that was spinning a wob bigger than a sail on a four-masked schooner.

And. oh. how faet went her needles and her little black eyes looked at Puss so fiercely, although she tried to hide it, I gn.-u, that he got up and said, ”1 don’t believe I'll wear the helmet, for maybe I won't go way up north, where the Thunderstorm Giants live." “Oh, my dear!" said th# spider, "you mustn't say that.
