ISN’T IT ABOUT TIME for the police to capture another “North Side Burglar?” THE STREETS must be pretty bad when even automobile thieves complain of their condition. AS A BONDSMAN Chip Lewis promises to become quite as infamous as Mr. Adams's friend Pop Leppert AND WHY IS IT that a straw hat Is just beginning to feel comfortable when it looks so seedy that it can’t be worn? OF COURSE the man seeking a divorce who sets up in his petition that he “lived with his three former wives until they died,” does not mean it that way. V. *— COLONEL HOUSE arrived from Europe'“wrapped in his usual sphynxiike silence.” How disappointed the reporters would be if the colonel failed to live up to hi3 reputation. Democracy and Prohibition Throughout its whole existence the Daily Times has been an advocate of prohibition, just as it is today an unrelenting enemy of the liquor traffic in any form. This paper stood for the elimination of the liquor business in Indiana by a State prohibition law and eventually saw that law enacted. It stood for a ratification of the national prohibition amendment, and rejoiced when it was promulgated. Throughout the ’.ife of the State law and today it is earnestly advocating and actively working for the rigid enforcement of prohibition, not only among the people of the State, but also among the officers of the law whose duty it is to enforce prohibition. Almost unaided and in spite of the underhanded opposition of certain so-called law enforcement agencies, the Dally Times brought about the confiscation of the largest stock of intoxicants ever seized at one time in Indiana. When efforts to prosecute the owners of this stock In the State courts failed it was through the Instrumentality of the Daily Times that the attention of the Federal authorities was called to the law violations, with the result that the owners of this contraband liquor are now in the< Federal prison. Only this week the Daily Times brought to the attention of officials and the public a direct connection between a prosecutor's office and a blind tiger operator. Almost simultaneously it has exposed the disappearance of liquor presumed to be in the custody of police officers. Consistently, invariably, whenever conflict threatened between the editorial or business policies of the Dafly Times and prohibition, then prohibition hasNvon and an unsullied record has been maintained.
In this campaign this policy has in no -way been changed. Now, as heretofore, the Daily Times is for prohibition first and it cannot and will not give its support to any candidate whose success would check the progress of prohibition in Indiana or in the nation. Long ago this paper made the assertion that prohibition was not an issue in this campaign, that discussion of it was futile as a discussion of slavery. That assertion stands today in spite of the efforts of such persons and uch organizations as have been subsidized by the republican millions to inject the issue into the campaign at this time. Before the Daily Times announced its support of Thomas Taggart for United States Senator it was satisfied that his election would in no way jeopardize the progress of prohibition in the State or nation. Before the Daily Times lent support to the candidacy of James M. Cox for the presidency it went to great lengths to learn that his presence in the White House would not snatch from the prohibitionists of America one iota of the benefits that are today accruing from prohibition. Consequently when any organization or hireling of an organization, under the pretense of prohibition’s welfare, undertakes to say that advocacy of the election of Mr. Taggart and Mr. Cox is not compatible with the advocacy of the rigid enforcement of the liquor laws of this country we have but one answer to make: The true advocates of prohibition need not refrain from support of either Mr. Cox or Mr. Taggart because of the stand of either on the liquor issue. Neither has the will nor the ability to alter the fact that prohibition has come to stay in the United States. If this were not true neither would have the support of the Daily Times.
Bootlegging Confiscated Whisky The disclosure in the Daily Times yesterday that at least thirty-seven quarts of whisky confiscated by the Indianapolis police force has been allow'ed to disappear from the custody of the officers, is merely confirmation of what has long been suspected by the people of Indianapolis. Popular opinion has been that a great part of the booze taken from bootleggers since Indiana went dry has pursued a devious course that eventually brought it hack into commercial or social channels. That this has happened to some of the liquor is undoubtedly true and can be established whenever the proper authorities undertake to proceed against those among them who have not only been violating the faith placed in them by the public, hut lave been using, personally and for gain, the liquor that they have taken from others who attempted to violate the law. Through the misfeasance of certain officials the use of liquor and even the sale of it has become a privilege in Indianapolis, a privilege vouchsafed to certain favored public servants who were presumed to be actively engaged in the suppression of the use of and traffic In liquor. The wholesome effects of prohibition, as established by the law, are In danger, when prohibition becomes effective for some persons and inoperative for certain officials who have been hired to maintain it. We can see no.very good reason for depriving a bootlegger of whisky, If that whisky is to be Consumed or sold by the very agencies that are charged with destroying it Better let whisky remain in the hands of the bootlegger than to take it away from him and have it consumed or tootlegged by men who are taking the public's money for the destruction of the traffic. Only a few days ago a prohibition agent, an official of the police force and an attorney of this city were together on a joy ride, that ended in a collision between the car they were driving and a buggy, in which an offlnpant of the buggy was injured. ’file two officers of the law left the scene and the attorney assumed responsibility for the mishap. Whether the stimulus for this joy ride was confiscated liquor remains to be proved. - With 20 per cent shrinkage in confiscated lots of booze the usual thing in the community, there is reason to believe that certain officials, charged with law enforcement, are pursuing contraband liquor more for the love of the liquor than from a desire to prohibit either its sale or consumption.
Why Not Films? There has always Dean a great conservatism In the public schools and new methods have been looked upon askance. The use of films would appeal to the layman as a great aid In the teaching of various subjects. First, the children were taught by singing their multiplication tables. We believe some of the methods utilize play to bring home the subject. Why not use the eyes? In the presentation of history and geography to the young mind, what could be better than motion pictures taken on the very spot where some great historical event occurred? Possibly to have some great personage like the President of the United States explain into a talking machine the question of the day would hold the attention of young America better than anything his teacher might *ay or his books contain. To entertain the child, and at the same time impress upon him those facts which he should learn, would possibly be easier done with a film than anything else. 4

Keeping County Records The State Board of Accounts in its report of May 26, 1919, says: “The records of the board of commissioners are very deficient and Inaccurate. No entry at all had been made In the 1918 record after Oct 81. Statements are made that do not seem to be borne out In fact. Either the board lias forgotten In many instances to tell the clerk of an order that was In their minds or the clerk has forgotten to make the proper entries after said order has been promulgated by the board.
PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.
Well, to return to the last story, where we left little Puss Junior atop of the Good Gray Horse and his smdll friend, the Blackbird, sitting between the ears of the faithful steed, our three travelers wont along for some distance until they came to a hazel bush on which sat two pigeons. “Hero comes a cat upon a horse, With boots and waving plume, And a little Blackbird files before— He's Sir Cat s trusty greom.” “Who are yoib, little pigeons?” asked Puss Junior, and he reined in his good gray steed. "If you ask us no questions We'll tell you no lies,” Said both little doves, As they winked their four eyea. “What!” exclaimed Puss Junior, “can you not give me an honest answer?” and he waved h!s sword in the air and smiled at the fwo pigeons, for he didn't mean to frighten them, you know. “Cut down this hazel bush and you shall see something strange,” said the two small doves. So Puss gave his sword a swing and cut the hazel bush down and, .would yon believe It, there stood in its place a little gold coach and the two doves turned into two white ponies. And then a fairy looked out of the coach window and said: “Puss Junior, you have broken the spell and I can now return iq in.v kingdom.” And then the two little wbtte pontes trotted off with the beau tiful coach and the little fairy threw a ring to Puss which the Blackbird picked up with his bill. “Keep it," he said, as he handed If, to Puss Junior. “It is a gift of a fairy and possesses charm, I am sure.” -So Puss slipped it over his little toe and then ofT he rode again on his Good Gray Horse and by and by they came to a very lonely place. There was noth ing but rocks and dead trees, and the read seemed to end right there and the Good Gray Horse began to neigh and look about him. He felt very tineaay, you see. And then, ail of a sudden, a terrible dragon came out of a cave in the rocks and, oh, dear me. wasn't his one eye wicked and hln mouth large ami his longue red. And the Good Gray Horse reared on his hind legs ano snorted, and the little Blackbird almost turned pale, he was so frightened. Even Puss felt Just a Utile wee bit uneasy. But he didn't show It. N’o, indeed. lia

drew his sword and said to the terrible dragon: “If you come a step nearer I’ll cut off your head.” “Ha, ba!” laughed the terrible dragon, “Cut off my head, will you, little St. George!” And if you don’t know why he called Puss “Little St. George.” PH tell you. It. was because a brave knight named St. George once open a time killed a dVeadful dragon. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after this.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
