THE COAL COMMISSION is doubtless making people more familiar with the various methods by Vhich they are held up, but where is the coal at the commission’s prices? MR. "WILSON should derive some satisfaction out of the fact that his political opponents insist on making him the issue in three consecutive campaigns—an honor that is accorded to few men. FROld THE NATURE of Mr. Harding’s reward offer it wobld appear that he is consistently inconsistent in his inconsistency, which statement is about as enlightening as his discussion of the League of Nations. The Wolves Once More The wolves are howling again! The same old pack, that snarled and yelped and whined about the seat of Government last winter, has come dowm-out of the timber, where public pap is scarce, and each individual member is sitting on his haunches while froth trickles from his hungry jowls in anticipation of the banquet that the voters will serve Nov. 2. A few new wolves have been recruited by the pack. A few new notes are heard in the discordant chorus with which they make the night hideous, but in the main the noise is the same, the purpose the same and the wolfish characteristics the same. These are the same wolves who sat about in ghoulish glee and waited, longingly and hopefully, for what they conceived to be the approaching end of Woodrow Wilson. v They constitute the same pack that rejoiced in the illness of the President of the United States, that grasped each rumor of failing mentality and magnified it into a story of a great man’s collapse. It was from the abiding place of thl3 pack last year that there came the stories that Woodrow Wilson was a mad man, that he was helpless, that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, was directing the affairs of state. It was from this aggregation that there sprung the foul treason plotted with the ultimate object of ousting President Wilson from the office to which the people of the United States had twice elected him. This is the pack that harbors the wolves who proposed a Senate resoJutton declaring the office of President vacant. It is the pack that chanted the hymn of hate with eyes j on the pale moon of last winter and minds on the campaign of 1920. .. It Is the pack that waited outside the door for its prey while the country halted in prayer for the recovery of a man the pack had ham*trung in its foul pursuit across the continent. The wolves are howling again. They found it impossible to sink their fangs into the tender structure of the League Nations. They found a militant army standing between them and the White House cupboards. They found their pursuit of public food blocked by an intelligent electorate that would concede them nothing in their mad attempt to make a wolfish banquet of the'Child of Peace, born at Versailles. /And today they howl again, y They howl in their rage, in their disappointment, in their hunger and the burden of their howl is again against the President who dared defy them, who broke his health in guarding the door of Hope aB they launched themselves against it in execution of their avowed intention to mangle the covenant. Baffled, starving, wild at their own impotency, the wolf pack turns once more to snap, to snarl, to quarrel among themselves, to seek by their own ferocity to chill defenders of the wounded-leader who deprived them of their feast and whose handiwork now keeps them from their banquet. In their eyes gleams hate of Wilson. From their throats roll lies and bitter villiflcation. Hydrophobic phlegm flies from their hungry mawa. And always the burden of their Ignoble yap is “Down with Wilson,” “Wilson is the Issue,” “Wilson is the party,” 'Wilson is the question of the day.” > Think you God, in His majestic omnipotence, will look down on such a spectacle as this and bid these beasts feast on the bodies of those who have stood so long against them in the common cause of suffering humanity? Privileged? Pour days ago the Times gave public notice to the law enforcement officials of this county that it had in its possession whisky purchased as evidence of illegal sales, together with statements of witnesses as to these illegal sales. , At the same time this paper declared that these officials would not. attempt to prosecute their favorites who are responsible for practically all the lawlessness that exists in this otherwise clean community. Not a single official has manifested any interest whatever in the evidence of law violation gathered against these men by the Timej. Not one of these law violators has been molested although their names were printed, their addresses and even their telephone numbers given to the officials. We declared then as we declare now that the law enforcing agencies of this county are more interested in the success of their favorite candidates in the coming election than they are In keeping the oaths they took when they went into office. We say now that they are accepting their pay from the taxpayers of this county under false pretenses. They are pretending to do that which is necessary to preserve the law and the peace, and in reality they are doing what they hope will keep in office members of their ring while they neglect the very things for which they are paid by the taxpayers. Cogjpromising with law violators is always dangerous to a community. Granting of special privileges to a select few constitutes the most insidious menace thaf may confront any community. If no special privilege has been granted these particular bootleggers and gamblers, why are they permitted to operate when there-Is not a city or county official who has not been informed of their operations? , Principle and Fees The efforts of the Indianapolis Grocers Association to enforce the Sunday closing law which recently resulted in successful prosecutions In “City Court should not be confused with the prosecutions in an Irvington justice of the peace court. The former prosecutions are undertaken only after due warning in a bona fide effort to compel observance of the Sabbath when violation of it is prompted purely by cupidity. The latter prosecutions are hypercritical, without consideration, deliberation or warning. The only possible object to be obtained by the grocers’ associatiqp is a general observance of Sunday, which is right and which throws no great burden on any one. One of the most apparent results of the prosecutions in the justice’s court lies in the possibility of collecting fees for certain officials whose love of these fees is established by their records. Success! Indianapolis is to be congratulated on having among its citizenship men and women of the kind who have finally succeeded in making possible school lunches for children without the burden of costs increased over the costs last year. Only a few weeks ago it appeared impossible to furnish these lunches to the school children' 1 without asking them to pay 2D per cent more than they paid last year. In the face of the seeming impossibility, interested citizens worked persistently and to the end that the children will now get their lunches without increased expense. - Only an unselfish interest in an unselfish project'makes this possible. It is good to reflect that there are citizens who can be, and are willing to be, so persistent in their efforts for the common good that they cannot be denied what they seek in the interests of aIL I '
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By Ann Lisle
CHAPTER LXXXVII (Confinned.) At the corner, truer* the /,reen and white lattice -work of “Our*’ Canteen jutted out to the' sidewalk’s edge, I met Pat Dalton. For a second he seemed inclined to hurry by with the briefest of bews—then he wheeled abruptly. “Mrs. Jimmie!” he called in his warm, caressing voice, “Mrs. Jimmie—don’t be running away so fast.” “It’s you who were running away,” I laughed, stopping in my tracks to wait for him. At that he colored most amazingly and stammered: “For the moment I didn’t realize who you were. Are you enlisting to feed our lads, now? It’s fine -work. Mrs. Jim. mle. How’s Jeanle? Is she —is she settled ta the new home?” ‘‘Why, how did you know anything about her new home?” I asked. Then, suddenly I remembered that on the day I purchased our house-present for Virginia, Tom Mason had Informed me that Pat was coming in to meet Mm directly—so that was it Tom'had told him. But why shouldn't Pat offer that simple explanation at once without hemming and hawing? Hard on my thoughts, he burst out nervously. “Mrs. Jimmie—will you stand by-: again ? Don’t tell Jeanie that I know her new address. She might think I was—spying on her. Shi’s as well oD if she doesn’t realize I know.”
PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Corv. ——
Well, Puss didn't go home with the Giant, who asked him to, you remember, in the last story. Perhaps Puss wasn’t going to take chances. I'm sure I don’t know, but I do remember some hundred stories ago he had a hard time getting away from a Giant named Merry Laugh. Or was it the Giant Thunder Voice? Dear me, I’ve written about so many giants and dwarfs and other strange people In Fairy Land that I’m all mixed up. Well, any way, Puss started off, and by and by, not so very far, he saw a bright penny on the ground. But. oh, dear me! Would you believe it? When he stepped to pick It up that penny rolled away as fast ns the dish that ran after the spoon in Old Mother Goose Land. So Puss started after It, and by and by the penny stopped in front of n little hut. And then the door opened and a little girl, all in rags and tatters, looked out. “What do you wish?” she asked, and then that strange little penny rolled up the little wooden step and In through the door, and after that it jumped up on the table. “I followed your penny,” answered Puss. "I’ve never seen a penny like yours.” and he grinned and curled bis whiskers, which made tne little girl all tattered and torn smile. But she didn’t laugh. Oh, dear no. She wes too poor and hungry to laugh. But Puss didn’t know that. So he said, “I’ve traveled far Could you give me a drink of milk?” And then that poor little girl began to cry. “I have nothing to eat." Bhe said. “All I have Is this little penny!” So Puss put hir hand In his pocket and brought out a big goldplece, and when the little girl saw tt she laughed. And as soon as she began to laugh a bird In a cage began to -sing and then a voice came from an Inner room. “What are you laughing at, child?” And then the little girl ran in to tell her mother what good luck had befallen them. And after thaf she ran down to the village and brought bread and meat. And while she wae gone Pnea said to the strange little penny: “Tell me, little

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1920.
“Perhaps you’re right. I’ll' think It over. Now I must fly,** I said. “I’d like to explain something”—urged Pat • Dalton almost sheepishly. But I Insisted that I couldn’t wait for explanations and fairly brushed by him to the doorway of the Canteen. There, in unlforni, stood Carlotta gturges,- the vivid, conspicuous-looking girl who had been Pat Dalton’s companion the day I first met him. “Hel-10, Mrs Jimmie!” she cried breezily. “Going ib serve on this unit? Fine! I’ll show you the ropes. Our lieutenant’s very strict, but as soon as you get used to that you’ll be all right. Got your pencil and pad? Have to furnish them yourself, you know. And your cloth—■ to wash off the oilcloth on your tables. I’ve an extra one of everything—so I’ll stock you up today." While she was talking she took full possession of me, propelled me to a little cubbyhole for hats and coats and began to'produce the things I evidently needed. “Guess Pat told you I was here. We Just came In from lunching together. Old Pat's one of the finest. Friends of tlje same Pat—friends of each other?” Hhe finished with an air of sly understanding. So Pat Dalton hadjbeen lunching with Carlotta Sturges. Was that what hs bad wanted to "explain" to me?—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
penny, do you live in Fairy Land?" And the queer little penny answered, ‘■Yes."“I once belonged to a good man who kept me for a lucky piece. And one day he gave me to this little girl and told her never to part with me. So she promised and ever since she has kept her word, although many times she has gone hungry for want of a crust of bread." And Just then the little girl returned. So Puss said goodhy and continued on his way, but before be left the little -penny went with him ns far as the road, where I T stopped and sang this little song: ‘'Keep a promise. If you do Luck some day will come to you. Save your pennies, and some day \ Gold will surely come your way.” (Copyright, 1920.) (To be continued tomorrow.)
