Logan Payne Cos. •* AS A PROSECUTOR, Mr. Adams is a very firy lecturer. OPINIONS differ on profiteer?. One opinion is held by the profiteers themselves and the other is held by everybody else. / * ' _v “WOMEN learn to vote by machine,” says a Let's hope they do not learn to vote for a machine, at least not in “blocks of five.” i 1 ' \ MAYBE those craps shooters on the courthouse x lawn were trying to determine which one should pay for the courthouse the cost of which has never been met by the q^unty. IF SENATOR HARDING had made that “spokesman of France’’ mistake in his Marion paper he might have blamed it on the printer. As it is, he calls it a stenographer’s error. McCRAY says he will apply the same principles to the State that he has applied to his private business if elected Governor. No one he hasn't warned Indiana of his intentions! 1 / ~ FOR THE BENEFIT of one citizen who doubts that Harding's visit cost the taxpayers anything, it should be said that city gas hauled city benches in city trucks to the circle, city employes did the work on the city’* time and more than one hundred city emDloyes speht all day drumming up the crowd under the directions of a city official. I .
As You Like It The manner in Vhich the “good government" officiais of Indianapolis received published accounts of the flagrant law violations is typical, at least. Mayor Jewett was so busy tending to his prize hogs on his farm that he could not be called to the telephone to express his views on the subject for twenty-eight Jiours. * * v Prosecutor Adams, whose duty to the community is undoubtedly to investigate Instances of law violation, was absent from the city on a “lecture tour,” according to attaches of his office. / P. Evans, his chief deputy, who is the Republican candidate for prosecutor, was busily engaged in rounding up the votes of those who are satisfied with the Adams policies of “compromising’’ with law violators apd could not be expected to give personal attention to law violations. Superintendent Graff of the public schools was entirely too good a politician to commjf himself publicly as either favorable or opposed Jo the use of Shortridge High School as a bootlegger’s base. Members of the school board realized that under existing conditions they could not expect the proper authorities tp Investigate law violations and in spite of the poor iuck they have had hi investigating lax business methods in their own affairs they felt thy. an investigation by the board might be productive of some results. Chief Kinney fell back on the police system of passing the buck and paraphrased the song about captain telling sergeant and the sergeant telling the private and the private telling the sexton who tolled the bell. Charles J. Orbison, the most recent- addition to the long list of incompetent law enforcement officials in the official category, endeavored to say were the same here as elsewhere, but forgot that elsewhere arrests are sometimes violation of the prohibition law and else-* where the grand jury_does occasionally indict law violators. Judge James A< Collins preserved the same sphinx-like silence he uses when he is not engaged In telling about his nationally noted probation system and his great interest in the children of Indianapolis. And in the meanwhile the bootleggers and the gamblers and the lewd women sought advice from those who are looking after their protection as to whether or not they should continue to violate the law in the same brazen manner\fcat they did last week.
• % Encouraging! v How the Republican party does love its voters! 'When the decent element of the negro race in Indianapolis 'demanded representation id the party the Republicans cultivated the friendship of such law violators as Rufe Page and Jesse Willetts, to whom they gave public jobs. , j f _ When the decent negroes rebelled and sought to nominate a ticket of their own, the Republican members of the election refused to allow the use of the bust of Lincoln as an emblem. When the decent negroes then petitioned to use the elephant as an emblem, tha£ privilege was refused them. Finally, at the last moment, through a rump meeting, the Republican members of the election board refused the decent negroes the right to place their ticket on the ballot. In the meanwhile the negroes who had "been right” with the administration were permitted to operate gambling houses and bootlegging joints without interference from the authorities'. How the Republican party does struggle to “uplift” the negro! If he remains "regular” In politics he may violate the law with perfect freedom. j •- ‘ * If a disposition to rebel against the misrepresentation of his race by a lot of bootlegging gamblers he is deprived of the privileges that were accorded him by an amendment to the Federal Constitution.
Influence of Hats Someone -who really has the good of humanity at heart should memoralize Congress or the Rockefeller Institute or Foundation to make a very thorough investigation into the relation of hats to civilization in general and good conduct in particular, and substantiate certain theories jv'hich are not generally recognized, possibly being overlooked heretofore. There certainly is a connection between the bat, the head, the brain ' and the thinking process of the human family, and it is very observable that any uniform shape of the hat constantly worn affects the qualify of thought of the wearer. Some admirable women cannot bear to wear a hat very long, a change being necessary several thnes yearly. Some can put up with a minor ehange, others require entirely new hats. This requirement is not fanciful, but is actual, no matter what it costs nor how it hurts the financial budget. It is to be observed and placed as a rule that the greatest variety of hats is found aiseng the gentler sex and that is the reason they 7 are so nice. Many a divorce could be prevented if the offended wife had been supplied with a proper number of head dresses. This psychological principle is most observable with huge collections.of men, auch as armies or nations. The style of the hat is fixed, in the army, and this is always worn. It thus conduces to descipline and causes the army to think right. The iron helmetsvif Germany caused its army to become a machine and the allies .did not win' until they too adopted and wqre a uniform equally as rigid. Individuality was lost in the iron helmet while the soft felt hat of the American Army fostered great liberty of thought and permitted'grteater freedom of action. So the Yankee soldier was both the most'intelligent and at the same time most resourceful Some approach to this was attained by the British who had, from pft;tirrcs of the service, various head dresses. The Russians never changed, so their army went to pieces. * \ Mexico is never seen in picture nor described without the presence of the invariable sombrejto. See how that poor country has suffered from its bandits and soldiers, revolutions and defective head work! We are thankful that the American men_do not wear hats alike. If they did, it would be a sign of decadence. Before the war -all the German men wore caps alike, German students did likewise. They all eventually go mentally wrong, thinking they could lick the world. And so many of the German .women were poor they could not afford hats at all, so they could not keep, off the war by their influence. Our allies, • the French, produced the greatest variety of women’s-fiats, and wore them, too. It Is a wise thing for every married itan to keep his wife well supplied — fcrito. of I,or ov-ti cboocfoer s ✓ ■ i

CHAPTER LXXXVI (Continued). Jim u<> In his chair. Then he rose and J Imped over to rue., There was a cutting, menacing quality In his voice. _ * “Indeed! And you chose to hide this from me. Now, jnay I ask why you suddenly decide to tirtto tny friecds Into ydur confidence at the same time that you condescend to Inform me?” I felt as if Jim had struck assailed with his cold sarcasm so publicly startled mo so that I couldn’t think—myh lesn speak. “Don’t be an Idiot, Jim'.’’ cried Betty sharply. ’’AnneWas so interested In your big JobX/iat/Cbe forgot to bother yotLwlth her little one. And if Toney hadn't assailed jier with the direct question I daresay she'd have gone oni forgetting until her first caff' came.” * •Thunks for your clear explanation of 'Anne's motives. You and she have always understood each other so well that I feel you are an authority on her mental processes. Perhaps. however, she will speak for herself now that you’ve given her time to mkke up a reasonable story.’’ Jim's brutal sarcasm brought the painful crimson toNßetty”* face and the scar oh her hand fairly leaped In ugly relief. And again she pressed that scar to her lips—perhaps to bold tbetn back from speech—-perhaps toN-00l the pain in the old wound. I forced myself to speak for I was conscious cf Terry’s boll lug anger at this treatment of Betty's loyalty to me; and I couldn’t endure the shajfie of a scene before Anthony Nerreys. “Jim.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Corv.
Its too bad that tbe little Yellow Bird didn't wait to speak to Puss, but flew away, as I told you In tbe last story. Well, anyway. Puss started off again on Ills travels through Fairy Ladd and by and by. not so very far, he ciyne to a pair of little wooden shoes by the roadside. They were very little shoes, but clean and white. range,” said Puss to 'himself, “) wonder where the owner has gone, and he looked about, but no one >ame in sight. So he sat down and waited, ftfr he knew pretty soon bo would have an adventure, for little shoes don’t v.alk about by themselves, you know, and so do 1 and so does the cobbler Mown the street. W%ll, fit and by, alter a little while, a girl ctyne by driving a flock of geese, and when she reached tbe spot whe/e the two little shoes were, she smiled at Puss, but said never a word. Ana then she slipped her litttle vhlte feet Into them and led her geese away. Now all this seemed very stranga ta Pusg, so b? ran after her and said. “Why do you not speak to me?” But she only smiled, and one big gander turned around and gave • loud hiss. ■s. “Perhaps she doesn’t understand"me,’’ thought Puss, so he made signs to list, and then she began to smile and make signs to him, but, oh, dear niei Puss

And almost before I had finished Jim caught my hand In his and turned to face the room. "Folks, I don’t sec tuy you should forgive me—but I reriton you’re all such good friends and gofiTl sports thnUyon 'Will," he said with bis most wlrfelng Anile. “I’m only half a man these days—and that half's tired--but that’s na use acting like a brute to the dearest wife and the most Ifrynl friend any man ever was blessed — Anthony tforroys interrupted him: “it's I who mu to blame, lad.

couldn’t understand the signs any better than she understood his words, so they both stood there looklug at each other while the geese plucked the <wW grata that grew by the roadside And while they siiodd there a little cricket began to elng: ’’.Shw-ls living neat* a charm— A wicked vlteft has done her barm.

I guess he wa* so pleased that be thought that was the Wet way to thank ottr little hero. ‘•You have broken the charm which held my tongue." said the Goose Olri Never again will I tell tales about another.” And then she sat down on a stone and related to Puss how she had once told her school teacher about another scholar, and t.er after that she had lost the power o speech. “Never tell tales in school or out,” said little Puss Junior. “I remembet when I
