P. campaign is that the candidates can’t be candid. “JOBS ARE YAWNING FOR MEN,” says a headline. But not for yawning men. LOUISVILLE CLAIMS the first bank conducted entirely by women. How about the lisle bank? SEATTLE DOCTOR says it is dangerous to kiss in the morning. However, many a married man would not dare forget the after-breakfast kiss. Mr. Taggart’s Answer Thomas Taggart, Democratic nominee for Senator, has settled the question of who is dry in that race. He has settled it with an emphatic “yes,” delivered over his own ig•ature to a woman who wrote him a letter of inquiry. There can be no misunderstanding or doubt either of his language or his sincerity. One has only to contrast this frank, outspoken statement from Mr. Taggart with the method attempted by his opponent, Senator Watson, to get the measure of the two men. J) Mr. Watson has been attempting, through an unholy alliance with members of the Anti-Saloon League, who seem to have sold themselves and their organization, lock, stock and barrel, to the Republican party, to create the impression that he alone was dry of the three candidates for the Senate in Indiana. These Anti-Saloon League adjuncts of Will Hays’s party of “intellectual aristocracy and kulture” have been perfectly willing, for some consideration best known to themselves, to assist Mr. Watson’s managers in their attempt to align Watson as dry without the necessity of having Mr. Watson commit himself on that subject Although there has been no public declaration from Mr. Watson that he either approves of the Volstead act or would attempt to maintain it these hirelings of a presumably reputable organization have gone out of their way to deceive the public as to the attitude of Mr. Taggart on the liquor question and have helped Watson to “keep cover” on the same issue. So subservient to Mr. Watson’s interests have these alleged opponents ' of the liquor traffic become that they wholly ignored the candidacy of Mrs. Culla Vayhinger of Upland for the Senate, regardless of the fact that she I has done more for the cause of prohibition in Indiana than any other Woman. So far forgetful of truth and reason have they become that they were out in the state attempting to tell prohibitionists that the “re-election of Mr. Watson was imperative for the protection of our great victory.” In the face of the slanders that have been circulated concerning him, Mr. Taggart, at the first real opportunity to disclose his position to the people of his own state, dispassionately declares that he will use his influence and his vote “for the enforcement of the present prohibition law without any increase in the alcoholic contents of permitted beverages.” This statement from Mr. Taggart only confirms the opinion of him that has long been held by his friends, among whom the Times is pleased to be recorded. s ' * That ‘Explanation * The naive manner in which Harry Hendrickson “ explains” how 500 ! false registrations were lurking behind the records that Auditor Fesler refused to permit to be inspected until so ordered by the court la particularly significant when It is noted that the frauds were committed in the First precinct of the Fifth ward, a Republican negro stronghold. In this precinct in the last primary the combined vote of both Republicans and Democrats for governor totaled 216. Estimating the newly added women’s vote at 216 it would appear that the total vote to be expected from this precinct in the next election would not exceed 430, but we are assured that there were 500 bad registrations 9 due to a “misunderstanding’’ on the part of a negro woman employed by the county organization to register the Republican voters. hardly be argued that there wag no interest in the primary and consequently a light vote cast for this wag one of the precincts where the “accumulated sentiment” for Leonard Wood was at its height and the presidential nominee of the Republicans received only nine votes against 141 for Leonard Wood. Significant, too, was the vote therein for Mr. Lemcke, the candidate for treasurer, who boasts of his control over the negroes of Indianapolis. There was recorded for him 143 votes againßt 24 for his opponent It is, of course, well known that the Republican machine in Marion is absolutely dependent on the manipulation of votes in such precincts as the First of the Fifth ward for success in this campaign. It is equally true that unless sufficient good citizens of Marion County vote against the machine to offset the “accumulation’ in these precincts the machine will elect its candidates. How serious is the menace to the will of the voters is disclosed by the fact that the county chairman admits’ 600 false registrations In this one precinct where only 230 votes were ca6t in the primary and where the returns disclose the coarsest kind of manipulation of the primary returns. ✓ Throughout the Ages What should be added to all that has been said, as the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic draws to a close? Possibly the only new thing is to affix another date, 1920, to the figures representing a long line of similar reunions. Old things, however, may be repeated by us, will be repeated by those who follow, as they were by those before. Time is no element of these things, as it is no element of truth. The story of the Civil War. with its mistakes, its agonies, its hopes and Its victories, are all rewritten many times. Even the individual bravery has in some small manner been noted. But the eternal principles back of all this desperate passion are burned Into the hearts of Americans and made sacred by the blood and sacrifice of comrades in arms, yes, even by these men themselves, who are here in reunion. It is now Union, one and forever. The martyrdom of Lincoln began the confirmation of tho victories <jn arms and from the pain of it all the nation advanced to a consciousness that truth is immortal, whether to nation or individual, and that certain truths expressed by our forefathers only imperfectly should be fully recognized in our national life. \ Secession, States’ rights and slavery were forever set at rest by the valor and sacrifice of our guests and those who served in the war with them. Truly we may say they did not fight or die in vain. Surely they completed the work of our forefathers in building a nation. We salute the living. We honor the dead. Their memory and work shall be continued throughout the ages. Does It Really Matter? How would a woman profit by the use of cosmetics and other mysterious aids to the similitude of youth, if she were compelled to tell her age when registering for an election? And what would become of that old saying, that has been accepted at its face value, one might say, for years, to the effect that a woman is only as old as she looks? For, although she might derive some satisfaction from the fact that her age was not made public, there would still lurk that uneasy feeling that some certain man, perhaps a most uncouth sort of person, actually 1 knew just how old she was. And so It is probable that throughout the country, from north to south and east to west, countless women w T ho for some reason wish to conceal 1 their age will, in the words of license, have their ears to the ; ground, listening for the first tidings of Si decree in that case at Portland, Me., wherein a woman is contesting the right of any mere man lo draw her the mystery of her age.

HIGH COSTS OF JANITORS In 1018, according to the State Board of Accounts’ repßrt of May 26, 1919, the Republican machine spent $18,527.03 of the taxpayers’ money in employing Janitors for the courthouse. For the year ending May 21, 1920, the sum of $7,900 was paid out for janitor service for the Board of Trade building in Indianapolis. This building contains 210 rooms. In this report the State Board of Accounts says: “An analysis of the payment of the salaries included in the foregoing tabulation discloses the fact that the Republican pay roll for janitors was $460 per month until two or three months prior to the primary election when increased to $560 per month, then immediately dropped after said primary to

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS 111. The Jackson-Clay Race of 1832

By FREDERICK J. lIASK!N

(Editor's Not*—The foregoing is the third of u series of twenty four articles bv Mr. lluskin, in which he will discuss the most Interesting features of each of the presidential i campaigns from I s -4 to 1920. This ' series of articles will be valuable to everybody interested in the present campaign for President, and will contain much interesting historical information of the kind usually overlooked in the histories—the Incidents and the stories of the campaigns. Taken as a whole, this series will form a complete history of the quadrennial struggles of the American people to choose a President, tut them out and paste them in your scrap-book.) WASHINGTON. D. C.—“ Old Hlckery” against “Harry of the West;’’ national conventions against national conventions; the “pee-pul" against the “money power;” the outs against the ins, and all with tne Federal office* at stake as sure prizes for the winners, made the campaign of 1832 the fiercest of American history up to that time. For Andrew Jackson had hardly arrived in the Whltebouse on March 4, 1829. before he had fired a whole raft of Adams officeholders and had replaced them with loyal Jacksonltes. “To the victors belong the spoils." said be, promulgating the doctrine of rotation in office and instituting the political method of rewarding partisan activity with a public Job. Its effect was tremendous, and while Jackson did not have the committee form of party organization which backs up an administration today, he did have Martin dan Buren in hi* councils, and Van Buren was as wise in practical politics as was Napoleon in strategy. This campaign of 1832 was the first in which national nominating conventions figured. The anti-Masons held the first, and nominated William Wirt, who hud been Attorney General of the I’nlted States under Monroe and Adams, for president, and Amos Klitnaker of Penn syivania for Vice President. The national Republicans, already called the “whig*' in ordinary conversation, nominated Henry Clay of Kentucky for President, and John Sergeant of Pennsylvania for Vice President. The Democrats held a convention, but did not nominate a candidate for President, as Jackson was the unanimous choice of the party. Martin Van Buren was named for Vice President and the famous two thirds rule, which afterward proved Van Buren's undoing, was adopted. The state of South Carolina still chose its elector# by the Legislature, as it did until after the Civil War, and it had a party all of its own. with John Floyd of Virginia for President and Henry Lee of Massachusetts for Vice President. Jackson’s administration had been the stormiest ever known and the conservative statesmen of the old school were in despair. He had quarreled with the Vice President, John C. Caihonn. by preferring Van Buren as a chief counsellor He had broken up his own t'ablnet and had precipitated the most violent social war of Washington's history by insisting upon the acceptance of Mrs. Eaton, wife of his Secretary of War by the official circles of the capital. H° had turned out all the old officeholders and had

$490, where it remained for the remainder of the year. “The total cost of janitors and other employes as shown above seems to be exceedingly high in proportion to the size and general condition of the building and if this cost is to remain the standard, certainly the taxpayers of Marion County are entitled to excellent service.” This Is one of the reasons why outages In this county ore too high. If an amount in excess of $13,C00 is being paid yearly to perfect a Republican organ - izatiaa in this county under the guise of janitor service for tlie courthouse. It must be stopped, and, if 1 am elected prosecuting attorney, I will see that the taxpayers’ money is not spent In this hlgh-lianded manner without an Investigation by the office of the prosecutor.

given their places to his friends. He had violated, every precedent' of presidential behavior and had transgressed ever}' tradition of statecraft. Ills greatest tight had been against the Bank of the United States. When he first became President he had some correspondence with the bank, insisting that the National Government hud some right to say who should be chosen | officers of the bank. To this claim Nicholas Biddle, hqad of the bank, set up au absolute denial. Then reports came in from all over the country that tho various branches of the bank were discriminating ugamst Jackson men in business relations, and that the bank j was building up a machine to overthrow Jackson. This Federal bank bad beeu chartered in 1816 for a period of | twenty years, and it must obtain anew lease of life from the Government dur- ! lng the administration of that President to be elected in 1828, j Henry Olay, hating Jackson with aU ; his soul, and firm in the belief that thv i people would not rvelect such an iji--1 couth monster to the high office of ! President, decided t<r force the fighting. , It was by bis advice that the bill to re- | chnrter the bunk was introduced and j passed by Congress during Jackson's ! nrst term. Thomas H. Benton, Senator I from Missouri, was fighting against the j recharter in the Senate, declaring for a ' gold currency uud gaining his sobriquet !of "Old Bullion.” But the bank had j friends in <'ongr**s.-i and the bill ex- | tending its charter was passed. SWATTING THE MONEY DEVIL. Jackson promptly vetoed it. That veto 'was given in July, 1828, when the presij dentlal campaign was already well In 1 progress. In these advanced aud enllghti ened days the President always see* tp 'lt that Congress hits adjourned before ! the nominations are made, so as to prevent big questions coining up. But Jack ■ son didn’t care. He said he had swatted j the “money devil,” und he had. The cam- ; pclgn was on, and so far as Jackson tneu were concerned, there was but*one issue j— the doty of saving Jackson from overi throw by the money monster. | Clay, the idol of his followers, was confident that he could win on the bank I question. He was sure that the people ; would not consent to a futhless overturnling of tho financial system of the country. Therefore, he made loyalty to the bank a test of party fealty. But there was a settled conviction that Jackon was right and the bank was wrong. The ' old “corruption and bargain” cry of four i years ago was heard again, but meat of j the old Issues were buried in the new.

Tho end of the bank question and tho crisis of the nullification bus!j ness were to come In Jackson’s second administration,' but, of course, that was j not known. The fact that flay, a Mason. | was conniving with tho anti-Masons, and that Clay, the author of the “American J system” of protection and the tariff of ; abominations was in collusion with Uuli boun, the chief of the nulltficrs. added I to Jackson’s (strength.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES / A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER LXXV. Bright and early on the day after Neal started for training camp, Terry came to call for Jim. “Pm going to drive you to work like a captain of Industry, mate,” said he. Then to clinch the lie of our friendly conspiracy against my husband, he added, “That’s tho least a chap can do, Jim—after the way you stood by and took on tbis job as a favor to ine—aud to release a man for the war." When a sturdy, upright man like Terry Winston decides to lie for a friend, I suppose he fairly has to make a good Job of it. But I wonder if one day Jim will discover and exact payment from Terry aud me. After Terry and Jim had left I started off on the day’s usual round of housework. But one minute 1 was washing dishes, the next ! had changed Into dusvtng and a moment after that T was engaged in making tied*. Restless!

THE DAY 1 CAMPAIGN SONGS. On the other side, every effort was expended to Induce the people to wake up to the dangers of the spoils system as introduced by Jackson. His eabluel aud his no less Important and much more notorious kitchen cabinet came lo for tbe'.r share of the fighting. The Whigs sting: "King Andrew had five trusty squires, Whom he held his bid to do; He alto had three pilot fish To give the sharks their cue. There was Mart and Lou and Jack and Lew Aul Roger of Taney bee And Blair the cook, and Kendall chief cook. And Isaac, surnamed the true." A bsd song, maybe, but It told about Martin Van Buren, Louis McLane, John , Branch, Levi Woodbury and Roger P. Taney, who were in Jackson’s official cabinet, and also about Francis P. Blair, editor of the Washington Globe; Amo. Kendall and Isaac Ilill, the three friends lof the administration, known as tho , “kitchen cabinet” because Jackson used lo let them In at the back door of the White House ( IIARIiKS OF Ml HUEK. On the other side, the Jackson men tried to meet the charges of bloody murder made against their leader by telling tales of the duels lu which Mr. Clay had figured. There were eno'igh of them that really happened, but more were i invented by Dame Rumor to be spread through the Jackson press. Senator Renton of Missouri. Jackson’s right bower !

The fear of the taint of graft was not so potent then ns now Witness ths naive publication of the correspondence between President Jackson and a mall rontrnclor. over whose fortunes I lie President had direct control in those early days. The Nashville Republican tells of General Jackson’s departure .from Nashville fur Washington In September, when tho campaign was getting hot. It Raid: “Previous to his departure our efficient ami indefatigable Mail Contractor very politely tendered him the use of his olegant and well constructed Post Coaches, but the President preferred to travel-in his own carriage, as ho had to talro his horses to Washington." All of which was In a paper which carried at the head of its columns the line “Printer to the State and Publisher of the Laws of the United States.” This would seem very strange in theso days of anti-pass laws when public printing scandals bnvo been forgot because the public printer is now a Government official and not a private contractor. Jackson got 219 eleetorlal votes. Clay 49, Floyd 11, and Wirt 7. The .Taekson victory was overwhelming, and tho Democratic papers all exclaimed: “The bank veto has been sustained!” Jackson three times received tho plurality of the popular vote for President, a record equalled only by Grover Cleveland in the whole history of the country.

I fairly ached with missing Neal. He was ail tha£ bad been left to me of my old life. Ahd now, with his going, 1 felt that a milestone had been pasted in my new life. Jim is booked for a splendid salary, and there's the monthly “bit” from Haldanes. Never in my life have I had so much money. And with the earning of this amount Jim is hack on the threshold of his old life, the life that’s utterly unknown to me. With all my heart and soul I'll try to follow him there. But shall I succeed 7 At noon I woke to the fact that neither Phoebe nor Virginia had phoned me, and with pride In inyself for making the advances, I called first the Rochambeau, then Virginia's apartment. But the girls weren't to be found. My loneliness Increased. 1 made a hasty lunch of crackers and milk- took It in the kitchenette—and standing. That carried me back to my boarding-house days. Toward the close of the long, lonely afternoon the doorbell rang. Kven the laundryman would have been a welcome break in jny day. But when I got to the door there stood Tom Mason. "Hullo, I.ady Tenant! At last I get a real chance to visit you," he announced. Etvy Just dropped me here with a message- she's going out to the River road to get Jim. He motored up there with a chap named Norrcys. Their car broke down—Norreys took the train, and as Jiui couldn't stand the long cross-country walk, he called Kvvy, and—there they are—and here are we.” "That's very nice of your cousin,” I said colorlessly. “A friend in need—is worth nine." —Copyright, 1920.

The Weather Bureau says that so far as known, no part of this country is entirely free from these phenomena. However, they are much more frequently observed in the eastern and central portions of the country than in the far Weft. In fact, along the immediate Pacific Coast the Occurrence of these storms is comparatively 1 rare and it is stated that they are without many of the severe characteristics observed in the more eastern districts. HOROSCOPE “The stars incline, but do not compel.” FRIDAY, SEPT. Z 4. The early hours of this day. which ia moat fortunate in its sway, are dominated by Neptune, Uranus and-the San, all In evil aspect. Later, Jupiter and Venus rule strongly for the good fortune of men and women. * It is not a favorable sway for making journeys, especially those that have for their object the forwarding of personal ambitions or business enterprises. The aspects for this early autumn seem invariably to foreshadow- a most unsettled state of the public mind, in which both Neptune and Uranus have the most disturbing effect. There is a forbidding sign for persons in places of power. ?'hey may find ; their plans thwarted and their supporters dialoyal. It is not a lucky day for applying for positions, for seeking promotions or for promoting any personal ambitions. This should be a day most beneficial for theaters and all who play in them, making especially for large financial returns rather than artistic success. Hotels aud restaurants still have the most prosperous outlook, according to astrology, but they will seek to conform more to home conditions, astrologers proptegy. It is prognosticated that many Jurists and literary folk will end their \ careers before the dawning of the new year. Thia prophecy applies to Great Britain as we.l as the United State*. Distinguished visitors to this country from Asia, as well as Europe, are to be entertained in the winter and spring. Persons whose birthdate It Is may expect a happy year, for both financial and domestic affairs should be satisfactory.
