PROTECTION FOR LABOR IN PLANK Pr. McCulloch Addresses Big Audience at Whiting. Speciai to The Ttmse. WHITING. Ind., Sept. 16.—Legislation for the protection of the working man and woman and endorsement and promise of carrying ont to the letter the law establishing the two-platoon system for firemen in Indiana cities, were promised in a speech here last night by Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate for Governor. “Helpfulness and not selfishness should be the governing motive. Adequate consideration for the Injured; provisions for the safety and health of the worker—all things looking toward the amelioration of any handicaps of labor — the establishment of happ’ness and contentment will have my earnest consideration rnd assistance If I am elected Governor of Indiana,” said Dr. McCulloch. Speaking of the two platoon system for firemen, he said: “We most see that these guardians of our safety have theli time with their families,” he said. "A double shift Is essential, not only from their point of view but from the general public, which will get better service. He pledged bis support and recognition to the women, and declared “they shall have proper representation on cti boards In which their interests are vitally concerned." Tn discussing the all Important tax c’lestlon, Dr. McCulloch said that while it was disagreeable to indulge In too i :uch criticism, yet be felt It Incumbent on him to be honest with himself and the taxpayers on this subject. “Having complete control of the 191 It legislature.” he continued, “the Republicans undertook to handle the most diftirlut and intricate of all questions—the pax problem. “They are proud of their handicap, bnt row are surprised that their solution utterly failed to give satisfaction. ‘ The reason of this is fundamental—tiie task was approached with the wrong motive. “The leaders of the Republican party did not have so much In view the ratification o? the faults of the law of 1891 as they did to create a strong centralised organization, which would quietly and insidiously and effectively carry control over the activities and affairs of every community in the state." The speaker showed that the second special session did nothing but legalize Illegal acts, but commended the first special session for enacting the 'woman's franchise law.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

I hope you remember the song that; the Good Gray Horse 49m g just as I ended the last story, for if you don't I can't make him sing it again, for he was so happy at seeing little Puss Junior that he forgot the words, so the Blackbird told me, and when you forget the words of a song, what is the use of uinging it I should, like to know, and so would Caruso and so would the leider of the Salvation Army. Well, ‘o go back to our story, and the one before this, too. Puss and his little friend, the Blackbird, stayed all night at the Castle of the Prince who had married Cinderella, and when our two little travelers left the next morning Cinderella pinned a red, red rose on Puss Junior's toat and gave the Blackbird a little silver whistle to blow when he had a sore throat and couldn't sing. And Oh me; Oh my; wasn't the Good Gray Horse happy to have Puss Junior, his little master, again on his back. You should have seen him. His heels flew out like the piston rods on a big locomotive and his maoe fluttered iu the

breeze like the Hugs on Fifth avenue when our boys in khaki are marching, off to war. Well, by and by, after a little while, not so very long, they came to a church with a great high steeple, where the bell was ringing away as if it were Easter day. So Puss said “Whoa!” to his Good Gray Horse and inquired the reason. “Because it's the wedding day of the prettiest girl in the village,” answered the little old man in black whom Puss had spoken to. And then from out of the forest near by came a troop of fairies with gifts for the bride,'and after them came a band of gnomes with precious stones and silver and gold, and then they all went Inside the church to wait for the bride to come down the aisle. So Puss dismounted and tied his Good Gray Horse to a tree and went Inside, with the little Blackbird on bis shoulder. And when the bride came down the aisle Puss stepped forward and said: •Here is a little gold ring I found one day in a buttercup. 'Tts a magic ring, my dear. Keep it ever on your finger, and you will live happily always ” Wasn't that a pretty thing for Tnss to

Indeed, I think it must be like Xmas there every day, only, of course, they don't have Xmas trees and stockings and Santa Claus. For Santa Claus is not in Mother Goose Country nor in Fairy Land, but tn this every day world of ours where the trolley cars run and the automobiles spin over the roads and where some of the boys and girls read in some of the papers this story about Puss in Boots, Junior. Well, after that, Puss set off again on liis Journey with his little friend the Blackbird perched on the head of the Good Gray Horse. And he didn't mind that a bit, for the Blackbird didn't welh nearly as much as a pound of lead, although he may have had on a pound of feathers for nil I know.—Copyright, 1920. (To be continued.)

PROMISES LOWER STATE TAX RATES Dr. McCulloch Tells Lafayette Crowd G. O. P. Is to Blame. Special to The Times. LAFAYETTE, Sept. 16.—Before a big throng of men and women voter* here this morning, Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate for Governor, discussed State affairs and declared that he could not see how the farmers of the State could feel kindly toward Republican leaders when these leaders were responsible for the excessive taxes placed on the agricultural Interests of Indiana. “If the Democrats are returned to power this fall, this tax law will be repealed, and a just and equitable law enacted,” the speaker said. "Home rule will be given back to local communities and they will have the right to spend their own money.” . The candidate declared that the very foundation of the prosperity of the State and nation depends upon the farmer, and that he should “not be neglected as to passing of constructive law, for what benefits the farmer benefits all the people.” He called attention to Immigration away from the farms to the cities and declared that every possible agency should be employed to discourage the young man from quitting the soil. Dr. McCulloch laid special stress on the rural school as being one of the great agencies for good. “Parents want to live where their children will haTe the best educational advantages," he said. “These advantages should be In the rural schools as well as in the city schools. I shall endeavor to promote the welfare of these schools, so that all communities may be in clone touch with the highest possible educational advantages." • The speaker pledged himself and bis administration to better roads and said he would do all In bis power to promote and carry out • comprehensive and carefully planned system of state, countj and township roads at an economical cost.
