THE FREE FRANCHISE of the voters ought not to be limited by the size of the voting machines. THE LILY WHITE Republicans ought not to object to the black Republicans using the elephant as their emblem, especially if they use a white elephant. Mr. McAdoo’s Visit William Gibbs McAdoo, the man who has done more for Indianapolis than any one other man in the last four years, will speak here Saturday afternoon and his message to the citizens of this State will be well worth hearing. v v Mr. McAdoo is responsible for the present stage of completion of the track elevation work which is just now reuniting the north and the south part of the city. While he was railroad administrator the Indiana Council of Defense under the chairmanship of Will Hays acquiesced in recommendations that the track elevation work be stopped for the period of the war. At that time practically all the downtown streets were closed to traffic, the street cars were operating on a detour that made it a twenty-flve-minute journey from the south side to Washington street. W. D. Boyce, owner of the Times personally called Mr. McAdoo’s attention to the deplorable condition in which suspension of this work left the city of Indianapolis. Quick to recognize a valid complaint and always ready to do justice to a situation under his control, Mr. McAdoo caused an investigation of the Indianapolis railroad conditions and as a result the track elevation work was continued. Had he acted otherwise the track elevation work in Indianapolis would have been delayed for at least two years, the great increases in the costs of material and construction would have been capitalized against the people of the city and the growth of Indianapolis would have been retarded immeasurably. Mr. McAdoo’s afternoon engagement in Indianapolis is a part of his tour in the interest of Governor Cox whose nomination at San Francisco was only made possible by the refusal of Mr. McAdoo to participate in any way in the convention fight. In that convention Mr. McAdoo had the honor of receiving votes from a greater number of State and territorial delegations than were ever before cast for one man in a convention struggle. Since the nomination he has been giving his personal time and influence to the election of Governor Cox. What he says to Indianapolis citizens will be representative of the real democracy of the United States.

Denny Bush The action of the Supreme Court in affirming the sentence of Dennis J. Bush for his participation in the brutal assault on Ralph Richman in the campaign of 1914 serves to call to mind the fact that although Bush was one of the chief offenders against the State of Indiana in that period he has never been punished for his law violations. In fact, under the “good government and clean politics” regime which followed that lamentable campaign Bush has never for a moment had occasion to regret the close alliance which he formed with the men who were pledged to help this community purge itself of the type of men he represents. Following the trials of Democrats that grew out of this campaign Buteh was relieved of the necessity of answering for his own offenses by the action of the Republican prosecutor in dismissing indictments against him. He then became- an ardent supporter of Charles W. Jewett for mayor and no one has ever denied that the valiant work he did in behalf of Mr. Jewett prior to the primaries and in the hours when the canvassing of the vote was underway was of inestimable value to the present mayor. Following the installation of the Jewett administration Denny was a frequent visitor to the police station, where he was in the habit of conferring with the “best police chief ever” and hurrying back to the old barroom on Oh : o street, where poker, race horse pool and other amusements flourished In open defiance of law. Eventually Denny became politically interested with a.bunch of bipartisan politicians in Indianapolis in an effort to control both Republican and Democratic nominations and was a frequent visitor at the office of the Indiaocpolis News. It Us to be hoped that his presence in the Democratic county organization this year has resulted in such distrust of his purposes that a veritable wall been built around him and his ever ready advice as to how to win eflect’ons has been disregarded. Throughout a’.l this time the appealed case of Mr. Bush hung In the Supreme Court, where it became the oldest case on the docket and was forgotten by almost every one. The determination of it against Denny at this time is indeed cruel. If It were not for the right to petition for a rehearing, Denny would have to spend election day at the penal farm instead of at the polls. Without Denny at the polls there would undoubtedly be great disappointment among some of the bipartisan bosses who have always heretofore escaped disappointment by Denny.

Repeated Failures The long record of failures of prosecution made by Claris Adams prior to his recent failure to prosecute Roy Lingenfelter, the man who confessed assaulting so many little girls he could not remember them all, is a disgrace to Marion County. Louis and Julius Haag sold booze unmolested in this community for months before a citizen forced Adams to prosecute them by swearing out i search warrant for their liquor cellar. The county jury box was stuffed previously to one Haag trial and the prosecutor “could see no criminal intent” therein. An attorney examined three witnesses in behalf of his client before the grand jury and the only offense the prosecutor could see was in the publication of the fact. A witness testified in police court of an alleged conversation In which Mayor Jewett was quoted as saying he and Judge Collins would fix a pending indictment and release a confessed felon, and the prosecutor was no more interested than William P. Evans, his deputy, who now hopes to succeed him. Frauds in the last primary, wherein Adams himself was a Fesler manager, were exposed but the prosecutor did nothing. Repeatedly offenses have been called to the personal attention of Mr. Adams, yet there have been no prosecution. Adams has time and again proved himself unable or unwilling to represent the State of Indiana in Marion County. William P. Evans, his chief deputy, Indorses all Adams has done aid condones all he has failed to do. Evans Is a candidate to succeed Adams. Have the people of Marion County so completely lost interest in the subject of good government that they want a continuation of the Adams policies? \ ‘ *V Milk for Children There is a woeful lack of civic spirit manifested in Indianapolis in the difficulties that are being experienced in providing milk for school children’s lunches at the same price that was charged last year. Prices of foodstuffs have declined materially throughout the country. Only a few day’s ago a dairy products company near Indianapolis discontinued a collection route on the theory that there was an overproduction of milk. n But at the same time the Indianapolis School Lunch Association found that it could not purchase milk at the price which prevailed last year and was consequently compelled to forego a real service to the school children of the city. Regardless of the economic side of this problem, It would appear that the children should have the milk at the old rate. If the dealers of this city cannot profitably supply the association with milk at the old prices they should supply It without profit. Certainly there is sufficient public Bpirit among them to prompt port of a movement to which others are unselfishly giving their time and attention. ;

WASTED TAX MONEY The Republican party has been In control of our county government since Jan. 1, 1935. In that year $6,361,585.25 was collected from the taxpayers of the county and the county debt amounted to $3,856,985.36. This year the taxpayers of Marion4k'onnty are paylug Into the public treasury $10,740,927.38. In 1919, the county debt was $0,221,339. Next year over sixteen million dollars will be collected In taxes In this county. The people 'in Center township will pay more than 50 per cent more In taxes than they are paring this year. The tux rate for Center township for this year la $1.60 for each SIOO of property. Next year It will be $2.42. In some of the outside townships In tho county the Increase In the tax rate for next year Is more than 50 per cent, while In others It Is a little less. It has been charged by the State board

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS AN INTERPRETATION

XXIII. Article 22 of the covenant Is the famous compromise of the territorial greed of the allies and Japan. The task of toe article was to dispose fairly of the German and Turkish colonies. It Instituted the so-called mandatory system, and was devised by President Wilson. It abolishes the custom on the part of great nations of grabbing lands and subjugating peoples by the force of might, and establishes instead a general protection of the weak and uncivilised peoples of the earth under the auspices of the league. Civilised nations like Armenia and Albania aie left free to choose th nation which they desire to receive f. mandate for their government, and that nation la subject to a review of its Si Hons by tho league. Also, It may reject or accept a mandate, according to the will of its government and people. For instance, Armenia and the league desire the I’nlted States to accept a mandate for Armenia, but It rests wholly with tho T'nlted States whether It will agree to do so. Cnclvllixed peoples like the African ! and Pacific Island tribes had mandates placed upon them by the league, and the nations accepting these must render strict account of their government. This solution of one of the most difficult problems at the peace conference Is the greatest issnstruotive statesmanship In the lovei.aat. To those colonies and territories, which as a consequence of the late war bad ceased to be under the sovereignty of the states which formerly governeu them and which are Inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by th-'i,ise!vcs under the strenu ous conditions of the modern world, there should be applied the principle that the veil-being and development of such peo pies form a aord trust of civilization and that securities for the performance* t.l tbs trust should be embodied in this covenant. The best method of giving practicable effect to this principle Is that the tute-

of accounts, and not denied, that much of the public's money has been "unlawfully” spent “In a lavish and freehanded manner.” The Marlon County Democratic platform contains this provision: “We demand a repeal of the unjuat, autocratic, Inquisitorial and oppressive tax law passed by the last Republican Legislature, and the enactment of a law that does not violate our constitutional rights and principles of local self government. * • We are in favor ol discharging all unnecessary and Incompetent employes now crowding both the courthouse and the city hall to the great detriment of the public. We favor rigid economy In all departments of the public service."

The character of tho mandate most differ according to the stage development of the people, the geographical situation of the territory. Its economic condition and other similar circumstances. Certain communities formerly belonging to the Turkish empire have reached a stage of development where their existence as Independent nations can be provisionally recognised subject to the rendering or administrative advice and asatatance t< a mandatory until such lime as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration In the selection of the mandatory. Other people*, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage that tho mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory tfr.der con dltlons which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion, subject only to the maintenance of public order and mortis, the prohibition of abuses such as the slave trade, the arms traffic and the liquor traffic arid the prevention of the establishment of fort 1 tics ttons or military and naval baaes and of military training of\the natives for other than police purposes, and the defense of territory and will also secure equal opportunities for the trade and commerce of other members of the league. There are territories, such as Southwest Africa and certain of the South Pacific Islands, which, owing to the sparseness of their population or their small alee or their remoteness from the centers of civilisation, or their geograph leal contiguity to the territory of the mandatory and other circumstances, can be best administered under the laws of

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS 21. Mr. Bryan’s Third Attempt By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON The presidential cnmpalgn of 1908 Is worth .recalling as a proof that we have returned in at lef.st. one way to pre-war conditions. That Is, we have returned to the state of political apathy which seems to be the usual state of the greater part of the American public. In 3912 Mr. Wilson succeeded in stirring up a certain amount of popular enthusiasm. The people were led to believe that the old game of pie and piffle hail given way to something real. Then in j 1916 the European war guve everthlng j a tense and interesting character. It Is true that Mr. Bryan came lnt i the fight as a radical reformer, but tin platform on which he ran was not reallj much more radical than that of thi Republicans. He whooped,. as of old, for all his pet measures, such as tnltl atlve and referendum, but he did not get the response he had previously won. The people seemed to have lost Interest jin these things. Even Wall street did not seem excited about Mr. Bryan. This [ is shown by the fact that It put up very little money to beat him. The Republican campaign fund was smallei than It had been for years, and smallei than It has ever been since. In this way the 1908 campaign was even more apatnotlc than the present one, Wo hOTO Mr. Cox’s word for It that some people are willing to spend money to beat him, which Is more than Bryan could claim Hut then the 1908 campaign was launched at the end of a period of hard times, : while the present one finds the money j bags stuffed with war-made profits. A REASSURING SMILE BETTER THAN EXPLODED FIREWORKS. At any rate, the 1908 campaign was just such a carefully staged and mildly j applauded show as tfie present one. The candidates toured and fulminated and the j newspapers printed their fulmlnations. Troops of orators were shunted about tl\e j country in private cars, as carefully scheduled and advertised as musical com- j elites, and modest crowds of staunch i partisans turged out at every town to yell at them. Nobody seemed at all sore that Mr. Taft was going to win, and nobody outside of political circles seemed very much to care. One editorial writer j described It as an “era of no feeling” and ; remarked that there was nothing about j the candidates to Inspire any. "Mr. Taft’s chosen role Is good humor and a reassuring smile," he observed. "And the difficulty with Mr. Bryan Is j that his fireworks hare all been exploded • before.” The result showed conclusively that ;i j reassuring smile is a better bet than ex- I plotted fireworks Mr. Taft got Just about j twice as much of the electoral vote as Mr. | Bryan did. The Republican press decor- j o<ialy‘ embalmed and burled the Demo- ! the mandatory ns Integral portions of ! Its territory subject to the y safeguards above mentioned in the interests of the Indigenous population. In every ente of ; inundate, the mandatory shall render to : the council an annual report in reference to the territory committed to its charge. 1 The degree of authority, control or administration to be exercised by the mandatory shall, If not previously agreed upon by the members of the league, l*e explicitly defined In each case by the council. A permanent commission shall be constituted to receive and examine the annual reports of the mandatories and to advise the council on all matters relating to the observance of the mandates.

true that It did ao to no avail. Mr. Gompers promised to deliver the labor vote to Mr. Bryan In consideration of the fact that there was an anti-injunc-tion plank In the Democratic platform.
