WHERE’S the booze that was confiscated at Pete William's garage? M.UNCIE JUDGE says the city is lawless. Compared with Indianapolis or Chicago, or both? BUTYWHY should the Anti-Saloon League confine those impeachment proceedings to Federal officers who fail to enforce the prohibition laws? "ELIMINATION of ‘hold-up’ men by killing them is really a service to the community,” is the idea of an assistant attorney attached to the homicide bureau of New York. This kind of community service is possibly a little rough Way out W >' AUDITOR FESLER does not appear concerned about the legality of the Tuthill-Kiper law. He is industriously seeking to avoid the work that might be involved in the collection of taxes without the horizontal increases and naturally views an injunction as a calamity.

‘Avoid Definiteness ’ In the Democratic campaign textbook the official League of Nations covenant is printed in full. From the Republican textbook it is omitted. The Democratic book explains the covenant in a detailed article. The Republican book contains, in its “suggestions for speakers,” such illuminating admonitions as follows: “Avoid Governor Cox’s fallacious contention that tty chief desideratum is definiteness in the obligations to be assumed by the United States. If the obligatiofts in their nature are undesirable the greater the definiteness the greater the risk.” Especially does the Republican party deplore the expense of the war. In the opening paragraph of an article entitled “The Administration's Conduct of the War” this complaint is found. *The per soldier day expenditures for the United States, it is estimated, were from four to six times the pjer soldier day costs of France.” The fact is that the French soldier got 5 cents a day, while the Yank drew from $1 up, twenty times what his French comrade received; but no doughboy who campaigned with the “Poilus” and saw what they ate and wore is going to be ipcensed at the American government for "wasting” money on his clothes and “chow.” The Republican textbook charges, among other things, that President Wilson conducted the war on a partisan basis. It says: “He (Wilson) insisted upon partisanship. He distrusted such men as Roosevelt and Wood and would have his own partisans, political or personal, on guard.” This was an unfortunate charge in view of the appointment by President Wilson of the following Republicans to conspicuous war jobs: Gen. John J. Pershing, commander-in-chief of the A. E. F.; Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the army; Gen. George W. Goethals, assistant chief of staff; Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, provost marshal general of the army; Benedict Crowell, Dr. E. F. Keppel and Emmet J. Scott* assistant secretaries of war; Admiral William S. Sims, commander of the overseas naval forces; Herbert Hoover, food administrator; Samuel Mcßoberts, president National City Bank of New York, chief procurement officer of the army ordnance department; Charles B. Warren, Republican national committeeman from Michigan, appeal officer of the provost marshal general’s department; Charles M. Schwab, member of Emergency Fleet Corporation; Charles Piez, president of Emergency Fleet Corporation; Frank A. Vanderlip, director War Savings Stamp campaign; Walter S. Gifford, Howard E. Coffin, Julius Rosenwaid, Dr. Hollis Godfrey and Dr. Franklin Martin, members of council of national defense; Harry A. Garfield, fuel administrator; E. R. Stettinius, special assistant of Secretary of War; Charles Evans x Hughes, Republican nominee for President in 1916, chairman of committee to investigate the aircraft board; William H. Taft, former Republican President, chairman of the natiqnal war labor board; Henry P. Davison, Red Cross director; Cornelius N. Bliss, former treasurer of Republican National Committee, member of the Red Cross War Council.

Saturday Night’s Delight! And now the American Society of Sanitary Engineers, meeting in solemn convention at St. Louis, has announced that bath tubs are made in more than 1,600 designs and that standardized bath tubs would be a decided advanage. It is asserted that if these tubs were standardized they could be cbtained more quickly and cheaply. -This i3 new3 to us, hut we hesitate to confess our ignorance. Some of us can not remember having taken a thousand baths, let alone the form and shape of the tul>. We know the old metal tub, the chipped enamel variety; also the one where the water runs in from some hidden place, and it seemed that the only trouble in all of them was to get the wgter warm enough. Wonderful advancements have been made in the sanitary arts, and although the plumber Is the butt of much ridicule, he not only maintains his high prices, but down in our heart he has our high regard. A piece of good plumbing is a joy forever. Seriously speaking, it would seem that the standardization of a bathroom outfit conducted on similaf lines to the standardization of the automobile by Henry Ford, with quantity production, would bring great rewards to the standardizes k Since cleanliness is next to godliness, a comfortable bath tub has long ceased to be a luxury. It is an essential to which every American man, woman and child is entitled. Saturday night must lose its terrors, even to the naturalized American. A constitutional amendment guaranteeing this should be ratified immediately upon standardization. If the standardization of tub can be arrived at, in a sanitary manner, of course, and will contribute to a reduction in price of the bathroom outfit, or hasten the plumber, we say amen, let it be done. There are some things that the public will waive if this standardization %-L'i proceed rapidly and achieve the desired results above mentioned. To fccrin, we wiil ask no consideration for that form of tub which the English tourist used to carry and pronounce .like the bleating of a deep-toned sheep. Likewise, we propose the elimination of a tub so long that it could be substituted as a coffin if it had a cover. We only make one or two other suggestions, if they are in order. In the first place, if some standard location could be fixed for the soap considerable worry would be saved. In the second, some bottom should be adopted which is a little more cushion-like than the present enamel. Then, again, some Way of heating the side of the tub during the \ winter time would be acceptable. With all, we think standardization is proper, and we trust that it will be hastened. To be able to telephone the plumber that your No. 9C tub is out of fix and to come with the necessary tools and parts to repair it at once, and thus save him the trouble of an extra journey back to the shop would amply repay all the work that the American Society of Sanitary Engineers might be required to do standardizing the tub.

Nature’s Influence Now it is anounced that the allies proposed, in case the war continued until they reached the Rhine, to make a kind of turtle tank, Tor offensive purposes. This impresses the lay mind with the great use of the features or facilities Incident to animals throughout the war. We flew like birds, we burrowed like the rodents, we lived like the fish and we* camouflaged like nature all time. It would seem that nature was too slow in inventing systems of attack and defense, of trying them out, but she beat us to it in every case. She has done by a system of slow selection, covering ages, what our intellect, with all its modem surroundings, seems tardyVo grasp. Possibly the only real sign of our advancement is the regard we rave for human life, and for abstract truth. \ Nature is ruthless, disregards sentiment, lets the fittest survive. We respect the rights of the minority. In this regard, imperfect carried out, and in thiA regard alone, do we seem to have advanced over the cave man, 1 a ft

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

CHAPTER LXXII. The shrill call of the telephone in the living room rang through the early morning darkness of the apartment. Drowsily I heard, and it mingled with my dreams of Jim's tenderness to me the night before. Half-sleeping and halfwaking, I lived again through the ugly moment when Jim had suggested that we share an apartment with Phoebe and Virginia—who didn't ever speak to me. I smiled dreamily at the memory of my provocative reply—“ Would you be bored living alo te with me?” I remembered with a delicious thrill the passion with which Jim had set his lips to mint) in reply. Through those dicams the phono went on shrilling its summons. Startled to full wukefulcess, I glanced at Jim's watch, hinging from the corner of hla bod. It was only 8. Evidently Jim could sleep through New Year's chimes or the bombardment,of a city, since that tuneless Jangling didn't pierce his slumbers. Resentfully I slipped iuto my robe and slippers and pattered oat to the room where Neal slept like a peaceful cherub through all the alarum. The on 11 was for him—ho was ordered to report at the station, instead of at the draft boatd. according to the usual procedure, at 2:30. One hundred mej would, start at once'for the artiUes' camp. Stooping over Neal, I set a llgat kiss on his red curl that fluttered right across the middle of bis forehead. • Laddie, dear wake up. You're startlug West today, and there’s a lot to do,” I whispered. Neal opened h!s eyes for a second, then turned over sleepily, flung up his artn to ward off what was disturbing him, and was sound asleep again lu another second. 1 laughed, then I set toy bawds

$15,000,000 OFFERED

Nobody can blame Mr. Cox, the Democratic candidate for President, if he looks on the $15,000,000 Republican fund with envy, Jealousy and resentment because, of course, the Democrats cannot even expect to be accused of raising any very large amount of money. There are a good many Democratic officeholders who will come across with a few dollars, : but Government wages have been smalt and expenses have been high, I and, except for a few Jobs held by rich m*n for the honor and not the worth of them, there is no cash balance to draw from. During the war the hie money made out of Government contracts was made by Republican manufacturers. Eighty per cent of all the factories in the United States are owned by Republicans, because a manufacturer is usually a protective tariff man, and when the war started the factories in this country were operated and owned by Republicans. It would be Just as easy for the Republicans to raise $50,000,000 as $13,000,000, but under the Federal laws it is hard for them to spend all of the money they could raise. The policy heretofore adopted to spend big bunches of money was not through either the National Republican or National Democratic committees, but through “side shows” run by rich men, who would only contribute a thousand dollars to the national campaign fund and spend a hundred thousand dollars on running some bureau. The day after the presidential election four years ago twenty-four propaganda bureaus were i closed in the city of New York alone, not one of them being supported by any regular national organization; therefore, the expense of operating 1 the propaganda bureaus was not reported by the State or National com- j mittee. This was only evading the law Just the same as when a poor man runs for Congress. Everybody Knows he cannot spend much money and yet it costs $50,000 to be elected in any district where tho contest amounts to anything. The rich friends of the candidate must put the money up, and i poor man elected to Congress through tho money of rich friends is usually only a "straw man” who votes the way they want him to. Thero is, no law limiting the amount of money that any national committee can raise to spend in a campaign for legitimate purposes; the “rub” comes in as to what are ‘‘legitimate" purposes. The committee with the largest amount of money usually hires the greatest number of "watchers” at tho polls, "canvassers” or "distributers.” The man who is hired to canvass other people for their votes usually votes with the party he is canvassing for. I don't see much difference between hiring a man to canvass other people for their votes or in giving him $5 or $lO to go vote the straight party ticket. It looks better on the books, however, whqn it Is put down for watching at the polls or distributing circulars, but, after all, it is just buying votes and accounting fqr the money in a different way. Os course, the party with the biggest campaign fund has the advan- j tage. This seems to be what Candidate Cox is afraid of. I can remember when the first national -campaign fund.for any party did not reach a mil- j lion dollars, but it was in the days before automobiles, when you could hite a single horse and buggy for $3 a day. Now it takes $25 to $lO a day to j hire an automobile. How'ever, let the fellows who want the jobs spend the money. The more they spend the better it' will be for the public, as it will get money into circulation that would never reach the public in any other way.— jR. D. Boyce, in the Saturday Blade, Chicago.
