O. Logan Payne Cos. Advertiaiug Offlcea ) New York. Boston, Payne, Burns A Smith, Inc. THE FRONT PORCH occupied by the local imitators of Senator Harding seems to have been rather untenantable recently. • N NOT THE LEAST of the worries of the Jewett administration is the SIO,OOO garbage plant purchased of Jim Goodrich and others for $175,000. THE COAL COMMISSION LAW is like most of the Goodrich-McCray measures. It provides salaries for the nonsalaried members of the commission. ' HARDING sees dark days ahead unless he Is elected to the presidency. He will still have his newspaper property to fall back on after the election. MR EVANS SAYS, "I should accept as prosecutor such compensation as the Taw provides,” but what the people of Indianapolis want to know is whether he will pay his own deputies or ask the county to pay a lawyer to conduct prosecutions such as the law provides. Improve the Umbrella It is passing strange how we are bound by hab.t to such an extent that we do not improve as we might. Take, for example, the umbrella f Is there any one who remembers when people did not carry them? The umbrella, aside from a few minor features, is just the same shape, practically the same mechanical principles are employed in its construction, as when first thought into existence. Who has improved its construction, or who would, if the improvement were made, venture the newer kind? It is obvious that the umbrella should be carried in either the right or left hand. It is further obvious that if so carried, it must be constructed lufficiently large to cover the distant part of the body to the left side say, if a right-hand umbrella is borne in hand. Being round, if carried on one side and sufficiently large to cover the other side, there results a great waste of material, projecting, say to the right. This may be overcome by inviting a friend to join and to enjoy the overplus; thereby both keeping the friend out of the rain and utilizing the waste. One’s friends are not always available for this purpose Some have umbrellas of their own, others travel in automobiles while a few remain at home during the rainy season. * To acquire the greatest efficiency, why not make umbrellas elliptical, longer on one side than the other, varying according to the desire of the purchaser, as to left handed or right handed stick and as to width desired? Making stouts for larger men? Thus a married man could easily be distinguished from a single one, on a spring day, the latter desiring accommodations for two. Probably six umbrellas could be made where five only opened before. The rich potentate or mandarin of the East, who has someone to carry his burdens, would desire a well-balanced-in-the-center stick. With him we have no quarrel; that is mechanically correct. The tired business man, however, should not carry more than is essential. Cut off one-fifth of the surplus capacity and weight and he is saved 20 per cent, and he gets the use of the umbrella just the same. Besides, when the umbrella is rolled, it will look just a3 good as before. It would be hard on the left-hand man who might borrow b- right-hand umbrella surreptitiously, as he would be disappointed when it rained.
Mr. Hays Admits It Mr. Will Hays of Sullivan declares that the local issues in Indiana “will not affect the national issues in the least” in this campaign. Mr. Hays is a political prophet of some vision. He likewise might have said that national issues would not affect the State issues in the least in Indiana this fall. For the people of this State have determined to end, once and for all, the “centralized” government of Goodrichism, which made possible such things as these: Doubling, trebling and in some instances quadrupling taxes. Denial of right of a local community either 4o fix its own taxes or spend its own money. , N The waste of millions of dollars in “skip-stop" road building. The use of convicts on'-coal banks owned by members of the Governor’s family and friends. \ The sale to municipalities of a garbage plant by the Governor and his friends, one-fourth of which may burn at an estimated loss of onetwentieth of the purchase price. Nomination for State offices of a man who went short as a county officer. Increased rates for .utilities owned and operated by the favorpd few. Remodeling of the State House and building of a palatial garage on the “cost plus” plan. x Wrecking of State institutions under a pretext of maintaining them “economically.” 1 Three sessions of the Legislature in a year. As Mr. Hays admits, repudiation-of these things will not affect the national issue in the least. But repudiation of these things will affect the pocketbooks of Indiana taxpayers. And the pocketbooks of Indiana taxpayers need some other treatment than the process of extraction which Warren T. McCray is pledged to continue. Kindly Acts The kindly acts of tender sympathy and love freely bestowed upon the vetVrans during the reunion were so marked in Indianapolis that it makes one wish that the veneration and love which was then shown to our guests could become a part ot the daily life of the community. The Good Book tells us to, churches teach it, societies urge it and now good ex- j ample impresses it upon us. A thousand, yes, tens of thousands, beautiful little courtesies were ex- j tended to somebody’s father or uncle or brother by willing hands and j thoughtful hearts. These bless the giver as much as the receiver and giving does not diminish the supply, nor impoverish the giver. Others are with us daily, persons who are heroes or hero*p,es of peace In battles long, and stubborn, and tragic. Some fight with j, in our own battles. What more faithful ally exists than mother, wife <y loving hands of infants? The reunion can be made of great benefit, if we wl>' but profit by the lesson it impressed, In this regard. Every law-abiding person is entitled to the courtesies of life, the pure love one for another. If every person passed beyond the meridian of life were regarded by those younger_as a war veteran—in the war for life where all are engaged—and were equally as courteously treated as were our guests, from now on, what a wonderful city Indianapolis would become! Her fame/would soon spread over the entire world. The boy scouts and girl scouts did many things—it is required by their order —why should children set us £ good example, or be better than we are? Anyhow, their example could be followed. 111-Advised According to information from Lincoln, 'ill., there hangs above the bench of Judge Rudolph’s court, in that city, a sign bearing the warning, “Kissing forbidden in these precincts”—but it is explained that the judge is 76 years old, and that recently he was forcibly, even violently, kissed by two feminine gypsies, in whose favor he had ruled in a case before him. Os course, he is entirely within his legal rights if he wishes to post such a sign in his courtroom —possibly he is a married man. But for a judge who has attained the age of 76 he apparently does not possess the vision one to find in him. In the first place, it is that he maj some day be confronted by a daintier bit of than a mere gypsy, and in the second place it is very, very sign would deter any woman from kissing him if she really
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS VI. The Polk-Clay Race of 1844. By FREDERIC J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON, D. C.—ln the live stock markets of the year 1844 there was a great premium placed upon mules of a certain particularly ugly hue. Blooded horses did not command so much ready money in the Kentucky marts. That was because every loyal Whig in the country wanted to ride In the ’Clay procession at the big Whig barbecue and he wanted to ride on a “claybank" mule, the while he sang: “Get out o’ the way, you’re all unlucky; Clear the track for old Kentucky." True it is that certain very naughty small boys of Democratic parentage did secrete themselves along the roaHalde and lie in wait Hvith the felonious purpose of Rtalnlng the wethers of those beautiful ugly “claybank” mules with a pigment made by expressing the royal purple juice of the pokeberry. For was not Polk the Democratic candidate? And had not Andrew Jackson, the beloved “Old Hickory,” given the stamp of approval to this “Young Hickory of Tennessee?” And did not the Democrats, defying Mexico and England alike, prove themselves true patriots in rallying to Polk’s cry for “the reoccupation of Oregon and the reannexation of Texas,” and did not every Democratic heart beat faster when he heard the alliterative slogan, "Fifty-four forty or fight?” And when It was all over and the unbelievable news was borne in upon the minds of the people that the great Clay, the gallant “Harry of the West,” had been defeated by a nonentity, a mere nobody, like Polk, did not strong men give way to tears? And even the Democrats could not help but feel sorry for the famous Kentuckian, whose life ambition was once more denied. v The election of James Knox Polk, the first ‘‘dark horse” candidate for President, and the defeat of Henry Hay. then at the apex of his personal popularity, ended a political campaign which had a more profound effect upon future history than any other yet recorded. It brought about the annexation of Texas, the acquisition of California and made the Civil War Inevitable. ANNEXATION oV TEXAS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. The Whigs had Bung and shouted their gallant Harrison to such a noble victory that they were certain that Cla.v could not be defeated. Harrison had died after only a month In the White House, and had been succeeded by John Tyler. The Whigs of the Clay wing believed in a bank of 'the United States. They passed two bills to charter such an Institution. hut both were vetoed by Tyler. The result was a complete break in the Whig ranks, and the reorgaaiwtion of Tyler’s cabinet along Democratic lines. Then Tyler began to give heed to the appeals for annexation from the new republic of Texas The South wanted Texas to come In, as it would be slave territory. For the same reason the North wanted Texas kept out. Both Whigs and Democrats were still afraid to take bold of the slavery question. The leaders feared that the Introduction of the Texas question would break up both parties and endanger the Union. Mexico had announced that the annexation of Texas would be regarded by that nation ns a declaration of war. although it had already acknowledged the independence of Texas. England and France, jealous of the growth of the United States, were exerting every po * sible diplomatic Influence to prevent an nexation. . .. Henry Clay knew that he would be the Whig candidate, Martin Van Buren was equally certain that be would be the Democratic -standard bearer. Although bitter political—enemies, Clay and tan Buren were good personal friends. Mr Van Buren went to Kentucky and spent several days as the guest of Mr. Clay at Ashland. ** There they bad a conference, each recognizing the other as the presidential candidate of the opposition party. Each believed the Texas question was “loaded.” So they agreed to keep It out of the campaign. GREAT POLITICAL SENSATION. The Whig convention was to be held in Baltimore on May 1. 1844. and the Democratic convention was to meet in the same city on May 27. The ofßrlai organ of the Whig party was the National Intelligencer, while tne Washington Globe represented theOrullng Democratic powers. On April 27 there appeared In the National Intelligencer an open letter from Mr. Clay saying he was opposed to the annexation of Texas without the consent of Mexico, as it would mean war Ie the Globe of the same day there was published an open letter from Mr. Van Buren saying that he was opposed to annexation of Texas without the consent of Mexico, as it would mean war. This remarkable coincidence of ihe simultancoua publication of the Identical views of the two leading candidates for President cauaed a tremendous sensation. Audrey Jackson, old but wtse. saw that it meant the defeat of Van Buren and be immediately groomed his dark horse for the race. Delegates to the Democratic convention announced that they would break instructions for Van Buren. Others resigned rather than vote fbr him. Mass meetings were called at various places In the South to rescind Van Buren Instructions. When the convention met Van Buren had a majority of the delegates on the first ballot, but the two-thirds rule, the product of bis own scheming, was In effect. On the ninth ballot James K. Polk of Tennessee was named, as Jackson .had planned two weeks before, and the convention declared for the "reannexation of Texaa and the reoccupation of Oregon.” Texas had been claimed under the Louisiana purchase, and the Oregon country as far north as ’’fifty-four forty" waa claimed by right of discovery. Texas was wanted to add to the Influence of the slave states. Oregon was cla med to give a hostage to Northern Democrats. The campaign was conducted with great skill by the Democrats, Mr. Polk succeeding in being a high tariff man in Pennsylvania and a-Jow tariff man in South Carolina. The telegraph was invented, and the first news it ever carried was that of the nomination of Polk. But it extended only between Washington and Baltimore. Since It has spread all over the country it is no longer possible for a candidate thus “to be all thing* to all men.” 1 CLAY PETITIONED TO FREE SLAVES. Clay had been nominated by acclamation by a convention which denounced Texans as murderers and adventurers who were unworthy to be considered as

future "Americana. But ' the southern Whigs had their own ideas about Texas, and they began to bring pressure to bear upon Mr. Clay. On July 1 he wrote from Ashland to Stephen F. Miller of Tuscaloosa, letter discussing the Texas question, in which he said: “Personally I could have-no objection to the annexation of Texas." For whjch statement he paid the price of thousands of abolition votes and lost the presidency. Two years before Clay bad made a triumphal tour of the West, being met everywhere by a great outpouring of the people who were absolutely certain that he would be chosen President to succeed the Impossible Tyler. It was at Richmond, Ind., that a Quaker named Mendenhall came forward and presented Mr. ( lay with a petition, bearing many signatures, asking the great Whig leader to emancipate his slaves. He replied In a speech which was a marvel of evasion and sophistry. But it seemed, at the time, to have the effect of once more postponing the day when candidates for President must recognize the slavery Issue. Jt did have the effect of strengthening the hearts and hands of the Blrney Abolition party. That organization did not get many votes in the aggregate, but it Polled enough in western New York to turn the Empire State from Clay to Pfllk and thereby decide the election. Horace Greeley, as sincere an anti-slavery man as there was*ln the whole North, could not find words bitter enough to denounce Birney and the “fanatic abolitionists” who followed him. There was no doubt but that abolition votes had elected Polk, and thereby assured the admlssion of Texas, another slave State, which was to hove the right to divide itself Into four other and new slave states. Greeley was furious. Mr. Clay retired to his home at Ashland with a broken heart. But there Is not the slightest Indication that Clay realized the fact that compromise by which be saved so many other great men, fa*L C * U#e<l hU own def e4t and down-
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS An interpretation
l\e come to article 6 of the covenant of the League of Nations and still fail to find anything sinister; merely the orderly progress of a document constituting an organization for peace. Article 6 arranges for the secretaries and their pay. The cry of a “super government” Is not borne out. In any way In these sensible and modest details. An Englishman gets the best place with pay, but America at that time had the priceless moral leadership of the world. Here Is Article 8; “The permanent secretariat shall he established at the seat of the league. The secretariat shall comprise a secretary, general and auch secretaries and staff as may be required The first secretarygeneral shall be (bp person named in the

PROSECUTOR’S FEES

In 1939 he was paid $27,778.11 In fees In the City Court alone and $8,247.70 in fees from the Criminal and Civil Courts, making a total of $38,025.81, which he was paid in 1919, from the City Court and county courts.
