ISN’T IT ABOUT TIME for Mr. McCray to send out another series of advertisements denying whatever may be said about him in the future? THE PRIZE BULL that died recently on Mr. McCray’s proxied farm •Joes not seem to have been the only bull in possession of the Board of Trade candidate. WHY should a investigation” be necessary to bring about the indictment of a man who has. confessed attacking so many little girls 4ie could not remember them ail? RUFUS MORGAN, confessed firebug, doubtless concluded that the chanced of getting out of the clutches of the law after confession were as good as any other time in Marion County. IT IS ALL RIGHT for Governor Goodrich to talk about what power the coal commission has to enforce its orders, but until it does enforce them there will be no benefit to the consumer from them. The Vagaries of Watson Following the vagaries of Senator James Eli Watson in his efforts to obtain reflection in Indiana is as difficult as tracing a scared rabbit along its zig-zag tracks. Mr. Watson started his campaign in Irvington by declaring for an immediate peace with Germany, amplified his position in Indianapolis by declaring that we never were officially at war with Germany, and recently at Union City cinched the argument for his re-election by declaring that President Wilson had mismanaged the war with Germany. Equally consistent was Mr. Watson's discussion of the League of Nations covenant at Union City. He charged that Englishmen were responsible for the treaty, when in fact a thousand experts, including a hundred from America, worked for months with the representatives of the several nations. He declared that only thirty-one nations are now in the league, while last week’s Literary Digest gave the names of forty-one. .He expressed great confidence in the Hague tribunal, although during its time three of the world's greatest wars occurred. He argued that the treaty will supersede the Constitution, a novel doctrine for any constitutional lawyer. Watson read only those parts of the treaty which appeared to bear out his incorrect vidws. This was particularly true with article 12, which he deliberately emasculated almost beyond recognition. When America is once in the league she is in forever, he shouted, though failing to%*ead article 26 or article 1 of part 3, which provide how any nation can withdraw from the league without any difficulty. Neither did he read article 2)., which preserves the Monroe Doctrine in all it integrity, nor mention the court of international justice in whose interest Mr. Root has been devoting the past few months. With all the artifice of the hypocrite, Watson tried to draw his audience to the false conclusion that If America goes into the Veague she will lose everything she ever gained or stood for. , President Wilson was pictured as an autocrat. The awful charge was repeated that Wilson delivers his messages to Congress in person, a crime also committed in the days of Washington and Adams. Watson told how Wilson failed to buy the Cuban sugar crop, but forgot to explain how Congress blocked the way. The conduct of a' war gloriously won was bitterly assailed. The speaker even lamented that there was some food left for our boys on the front, which most human folks think was better than not having enough. There were also too many saddles and other war equipment because the war had ended so suddenly, according to the speaker. Too much money was spent, he repeated, quoting several yards of figures from the campaign textbook. But Watson failed to explain many key positions were occupied by Republicans during the greater part of the war. He failed to state that the American Army in Europe was under the command of General Pershing, a Republican; that the Navy in the war zone was in control of Admiral Sims, a Republican; that the Federal fuel administrator was Mr. Garfield, a Republican; that the food administrator was Herbert Hoover, a Republican; that the aircraft production was in charge of Howard E. Coffin, a Republican; that ship building was In charge of General Goethals, a Republican; that the supplies were in charge of Mr. Stettinius, Republican; that the draft was in charge of General Crowder, a Republican; that General March, chief of staff, was a Republican; that the emergency fleet corporation was in charge of* Charles M. Schwab and Charles Piez, both Republicans; that the Red Cross was In charge of Henry P. Davidson, a Republftan; that the war savings stamps campaign was in charge of Mr. Vanderlip, a Republican. In the conclusion of his speech, however, Mr. Watson claimed credit for himself and Senator Harding in having voted the appropriations out of which these alleged "wasteful'' expenditures were made. Whereupon the Senator of Mulhall fame departed from the rostrum firmly convinced that he had presented a strong argument for his return to the Senate as a representative of the people of Indiana
Golden Rule , for Others Last August there was held a World Conference on Faith and Order at Geneva, in Switzerland, at which more than forty countries were represented and the secretary of the American Episcopal Church says it was the most important gathering of Christians since the schism between eastern and western churches 1,000 years ago. It was a get-together meeting between many churches, with frank discussions in an earnest desire to understand and appreciate each other. The background of such a movement is good. We believe all people at heart good; all people, as a rule, are seeking that which they believe is for their good—certainly not for their bad, and though the viewpoint may be faulty, still the individual and his motives are good. Then the geographical site for the meeting, poor, buffeted yet beautiful Switzerland with its hearty^citizens, its wonderful history as an asylum for thought, and its gifts to liberty was fitting place for such a meeting and tolerant discussion of beliefs. What a wonderful world this would be if people would only do as they know they do—even do as they would have others do unto them! We recognize churches and church property as necessary utensils or plants for the spread *bf the gospel and the upholding of morals, and it may be safely said that with the wonderful plant now in existence, efficiently applied for its purposes, and people cooperating and living up to their professions, in a few years the thought world would be revolutionized and religion would return to its pristine purity and efficiency. We wonder what is the matter, with the other fellow, that he does not always remember the Golden Rule. What We Overlook An incident showing human nature happened in the suburbs of the city. A lot recently acquired was covered with berry bushes and the new owner desired their removal. Ike could not give them away and could not help to remove them. He then advertised in the want column of a paper, offering to sell them at 5 cents a set, the purchaser to dig them. , They were at once all sold, after many telephone calls were answered, and not only is- the lot cleared but he has a snug little sum of money. It was ever thus in life. Those things for which we pay are the most esteemed, while the blessings ever present we ignore. If political advice were directly purchased like medical consultation the voter would be able to define issues and possibly to explain, at least to a partisan measure, something of the League of Nations. If a smile and a word of cheer cost as much as a powder puff, there would be more buyers than could be accommodated—some regular and come spasmodic—in spite of the high cost of living. Sunshine and ideal autumn days, glorious out-of-doors and rich harvest are but passingly considered. We try to determine the merits of a motion picture show, however, with all seriousness. Could we but realize the blessings about us, in us and above us and enjoy (hem as wo should, and accept them as they are intended there is happiness without price, joy all the time. Who stops to of the supreme blessings of home, the happiness of family, the cheer of friends, the joy of littlechildren, to quiet satisfaction 01-peace, safety and prosperity? -• V. & ■' -r- •
PROSECUTORS DELAY Last May Judge Anderson snid “the State courts do not do their dtity and when they do send guilty men to prison the Governor turns them out, Mr. Van Nuys, the district attorney at the same time, said: “County prosecutors should know the law and prosecute cases without dillydallying.” On Aug. 22, 131* the Times published a letter signed by a number of jail prisoners complaining about the food served in the Marlon County Jail and declaring that they were starving. No Investigation of the jail was conducted by the Marion Criminal Court or by the couuty prosecutor. On March 30. .1920.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
17. The Harrison-Cleveland R ace of 1888 By FREDERIC J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON. I>. C. Grover Cleve land was elected President the first time because of his views on the tariff question. Because he was too insistent upon the expression of the same views he was defeated for re-election in IXBB. Mr. Cleveland was the onljt. President who ever devoted an entire annual message to Congress to the discussion of one subject. The Fiftieth Congress was the second of Mr. Cleveland's first term, and the Democratic majority In the Ho'vse had been re-elected, while the Republican majority in the Senate had been diminished. The President believed that the result of the lxßd elections meant that tfin people wished him to carry out ills ideas on the tariff. Therefore, he devoted his entire annual message to the discussing nothing else and placing the tariff question In a position of paramount Importance never t>efore occupied by any Issue in the legislative history yf the country. That message was prepared and sent against the advice of the leaders of the party. It did °t meet with the reception hoped for. and tirff tide turned against the Democrats. But evett with that complication in the way. Cleveland would have been re-elected but for the treachery of Tammany Hall. The Republican candidate was Benjamin Harrison of Indiana, grandson of William Henry Harrison, "Old Tippecanoe," and great grandson of a Virginia signer of the Declaration of Independence, a direct descendant of Pocahontas, and connected with all of the prominent old families of colonial days- He was the first successful candidate for Pres! dent since Zachary Taylor who might claim to be of “aristocratic'’ ltueage. Memories of the famous “Ttppecanoo" campaign were revived by ardent Re publicans, while facetious Democrats poked fun at the candidate. They were pleased to call him the midget grandson lu the giant grandfather's bat, Evcry cartooalst iccepted the "grandfather'* hat" as the badge of Harrison's candidacy. Asa result, the campaign of DXS became a campaign of hats. HATS AND RED BANDANAS BECOME INSIGNIA OF PARTY. The Republican marching clubs and “rootera” affected big bats of the beehive variety such as were worn by Grandfather “Tippecanoe" Harrison m the campaign of 1810. The Democrats adopted the white felt “topper," which was a favojlte with Mr. Cleveland. All over the country rural Democrats who would have fainted at the notion of a black silk top-hat bought the white “Cleveland hats" and wore them sum tner and wlnfer, day and night. The Democratic candidate for Vice President was Allen G. Thurman of Ohio, whom men loved to call the “Old Reman," Senator Thurman’s Inseparable companion was a red bandana handkerchief. So to the white top-hat every loyal I,‘enwrrat added the equipment of a red bap dana. Then hu way ready to hike and hurrah and barangfie for Cleveland and Thurman. The campaign of ISBB was a va*t improvement over~-.the acandal-mongering contest of four years before. Mr. Cleveland had gained the respesrt of the country by hjs administration of affairs, whether he bad its approval or not. Mr. Harrison had both the respect and con fldence Es the country. The campaign was conducted with great dignity. The rivalry between the parties was sharp, there were many doubtful States, and In none of them was victory for either aide overwhelming. It was, however, a battle of parties and not of candidates. The tariff Issue was a real Issue. Neither of the candidates appealed to the enthusiasm of the masses of their •followers. There was no great popular outbursts for either one. it was the coldest of the close Presidential contests. Benjamin Harrison was one of the ablest of the men who have occupied the White House. His state papers are fit to rank with the best in the archives of the Republic, not excepting those penned by Washington, Jefferson or John Quincy Adams. His administration was far from tranquil, yet its sharpest conflicts arose from the fact that Harrison, in the interest of the whole people, op. posed the schemes of certain of his party leaders, advocates of the Interests of a very few. Better Campaign speeches have never been made than those which Benjamin Hurrison delivered nt bis hojpe In Indianapolis, originating the “front porch” campaign system. Other candidates had Rpoken from their verandas, but Harrison was the first who dltl it systematically and to whose home special trains brought thousands of excursionists every week. That these excursions were often made < up with free passes and paid delegations, i

DAVIS TALKS on DECENCY > St ’.Democratic candidate for Prosecuting Attorney tells why and under what conditions he seeks the support of Marion County voters.
Jury. Ou May 3, )920, the day before the primary at whfch the Republican candidate for prosecuting attorney was nominated, the Republican prosecuting attorney said that Miller's trial would likely be set for some time during that month. On May 15, 1920, a special judge was appointed to try Miller. It is more than thirteen month* since the Republican prosecutor had notice of at least some of the deplorable conditions In the jail. It is more than seven months since the disclosures in the Federal t’ourt which shocked the people of this community. It is almost six months since the Republican sheriff was Indicted. The people do not demand his conviction. They presume him Innocent, but they condemn the “dllly dnllving” of the Republican prosecutor and .;ey want the Republican sheriff tried. P£UL O. DAV IS.
for the effect the reports of the tremendous outpouring would have on distant States, Is undoubtedly true, but politics was becoming advanced In that day. Harrison won hfs nomination in the Republican convention as the choice of those elements opposed to the nointimtiou of John Sherman of Ohio. Sherman weut Into the convention with more than twice as many votes as hfii next highest competitor. Walter Q. Gresham of Indiana. Third In the race was Chauneey M. Depew of New York; fourth wait (Jen. Roast II A. Alger of Michigan: fifth was Benjamin Harrison; six\h was William B. Allison of lowr, and then a dozen other smaller ones, e tch of whom hoped to be the successful “dark horse." James G. Blaine, "the Henry Clay of the Republican party,” wanted the nomination. But tc had written let saying he wouldn't lake it. and although he wavered and wabbled In his message to bis friends, bo finally cabled from Europe that he was not in the race. His State voted foi him to the last, notwithstanding his withdrawal. NKNATOF QUAY (ITS THE HEART OCT OF THE “SOLID SOITH.” Cleveland and. Thurman were nominated without ffny aerious opposition. Tammany Hall still hated Cleveland, but there was uo open opposition In the" convention which nominated him by acclamation. He still had the enmity of the New York Sun, the quarrel with Mr. Dana -remaining unsettled. Mr. Waiterson. the leading Democratic editor In the country, was not en rapport with the Administration. The party believed that Cleveland ws the strongest man to nominate, yet there waa no enthusiasm for him. Thurman, the second man on the ticket, excited more popular Interest than did Cleveland. Senator Quay of Pennsylvania was then at of hi* glory as a practitioner of national pßKtlc*. In the campaign he made a great effort to cut the heart out of the “solid South.” The border states of the old southern Democratic stronghold have been carried often by abrasion, but since 188(1 the heart of the South ha* been untouched. Qtny attempted, by the liberal use of money and the corruption of election officers, to carry North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee. The Republicans polled unusually large votes In those states in that year, and there are many “wise guy” politicians In tjie South who -will tell you to this day that the States would have been counted for Harrison if Harrison had needed them to win. But Harrison didn't need them, for he captured the pivotal and decisive State of New York, by a pltirsllfy of over 14,000. That gave him the election, thanks to Tammany Hall. David Ben net Hill was the Democratic candidate for Governor on the same ticket with the Cleveland electors. Hill was elected by nearly 20,000 majority. The trench ery was palpable, and It had the effect of enraging the Democratic hosts of vther parts of the country. Four years later the Tamany Hall protest against Cleveland and the ilill snap boom for Pre%ipnt were treated with scant courtesy. Although Harrison was elected, Cleveland obtained a clear popular majority of 100,000, much more than he had received four years before. As usual, whenever there Is a “minority” President there was a great outcry against the electoral (p-stem, and as usual it amounted to jk(Thing.

Well, after that Puss kept on going down the mountain side and by and by he came to a little thatched cottage where lived a poor widow woman who had only one son. and he had gone to the war. And as soon as she finished her work she would sit and knit socks and warm mittens for her soldier f>6y, and each time she came to the last stitch, she would say a little prayer, and some of these little prayers went like this: “God keep his feet from evil ways.” And tlien she would make her needles fly and when she came to the last stitch, she would say another little prayer, and maybe it would be this one: “God keep his feet a* warm as my love." and then again her needles would fly back and forth. And Puss thought to himself. “Ever since I saw the old Monk at the stone cross on the mountain top I have seen beautiful things.” And that should not seem strange to any little boys and girls who read this story, for why shouldn't a good animal see beautiful things as well as good people, for goodness in itself is a moat beautiful thing. And then, all of a sudden, the lovely Blue Bird flew up to the cottage and gang: "Happiness is in the heart. Lowly though we be; Kings and Queens can have no more Happiness than we.''
