STRANGE, isn’t it, that only the Republican State officials appear to be troubled by the possibilities of campaign libels. DOUBTLESS both Mr. Adams and Mr. Evans approve of James Adjournment Collins’s latest cessation of grand jury action. AMONG THF CANDIDATES for the prize to be awarded the least popular of all officials, Leo K. Fesler so far has a very distinct lead. OF COURSE, Mr. Jewett, Indianapolis “is the cleanest city of them all.” And that is just the reason why political pets should not be permitted special privileges. MR. McCRAY has not yet seen fit to supply the explanation of his railroad deal which the Times has offered to print for him. Perhaps the least said the better for him. FRIENDS of Governor Cox say he fights with all he has, including the sponge and the bucket. This may account for his bitter assault on a certain well-known weekly publication. GEORGE SYLVESTER VIERECK doubtless can see no reason why his good friend, Jim Watson, should deny that he attempted to justify the sinking of the Lusitania in his Columbus speech. AND THE INDIGNATION with which certain Republican malcontents view the presence or Ora Davies on their ticket might just as well be applied to the presence of several other candidates. THE GOVERNORSHIP RACE in Indiana is simply a question of whether the voters want a man who operated on the wounded soldiers in the trenches or a man who operated on the pocketbooks of the farmers through the Chicago Board of Trade.

Backward or Forward? Th position of the two candidates for President relative to the League of Nations becomes clearer as the election approaches and the leaders of both political parties realize that the voters know the league covenant is more of a senatorial than a presidential issue. Mr. Cox has made it plain that as an occupant of the Whitehouse he would endeavor to lay before the Senate for ratification a league covenant embodying the progress that has been made at Versailles with such reservations as would reasonably meet the objections of those who do not feel that America’s obligations have been sufficiently described under what it pleases objectors to term the "Wilson league plan.” Mr. Harding has, at last reports, determined that if elected President he will turn his back on the Versailles league and call together his conception of the "great minds” of America for the purpose of considering whether or not it is possible to establish an association of nations to accomplish the same purposes that were in mind when the treaty of Versailles was negotiated. These are the fundamentals on which the present campaign is being waged and the two courses, one of which will have to be approved by the voters Nov. 2. Before determining which of these two policies is best for the United States of America the thinking voter will give heed to the fact that today there exists a League of Nations, functioning properly and effectively in accordance with the plan adopted at Versailles, and including in its membership practically every nation except Germany, Russia, Mexico and the United States. Mr. Cox contends that the policy of the United States should be to support this League of Nations with such reservations as make for the protection of the United States. Mr. Harding contends that our policy should be to ignore this already existing League of Nations and if possible establish another league into which those nations which have already approved of the Versailles league are to be invited to enter. In other words, the Democratic candidate assumes that the treaty of Versailles was not negotiated in vain and that out of the established league and the negotiations which preceded it, a treaty may be formulated for submission to the Senate which the Senate may approve without surrendering its prerogatives nor imperiling any interest or policy of the United States. The Republican candidate assumes that nothing of benefit toward the establishment of a world’s peace can be adopted out of the covenant which all the world powers except Germany, Russia. Mexico and the United States have already adopted, and he proposes to abandon absolutely all that has been done toward the establishment of a League of Nations and call a conference of "great minds” to consider w hether or not it is possible to establish an association to take the place of a League of Nations which today lacks only the cooperation of the United States, Germany, Mexico and Russia to lte universally approved. Summed up, the question before the voter is whether he wishes Mr. Harding, as President, to turn back the effort for world peace to a consideration of whether an association of nations for that purpose is possible, or Whether the voters wish Cox to take up the fight for a League of Nations to insure peace where it was blocked by the Republican Senate and evolve from what has been done a policy in which the whole world may unite for the everlasting end of bloodshed.

Let There Be Light!.. “We suggest that if the facts as finally ascertained are as set out in your letter, that the matter should be called to the attention of the court for reference to the grand jury.” This is merely a suggestion from the Republican State board of accounts concerning a disclosure of the action of a Republican prosecuting attorney. which action is indorsed by a Republican candidate to succeed the said prosecutor. The “facts” to which the State board of accounts refers are a part of the records of Marion County. They concern a compromise entered into by the prosecuting attorney of Marion County with a notorious bootlegging law violator named Pop, Leppert. The State board of accounts regards this “compromise” as a matter for grand jury investigation. Simultaneously with the publication of this suggestion the judge of the Criminal Court adjourns the grand jury. Paul G. Davis, Democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney, has pledged himself to upset this “compromise*’ it elected. Isn’t it about time the voters of this county made it possible to get to the bottom of these "compromises” with bootleggers? Why? There should be no surprise over the action of Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court in adjourning the Marion County grand jury until after election. This is the second time Mr. Collins has done that which eliminated all chances of an investigation of known felonies by exercising his judicial authority to prevent grand jury investigations. When frauds were discovered in a primary in which Mr. Collins was nominated for judge, Collins adjourned the grand jury while witnesses waited in the corridor to tell the grand jurors of felonies. Now that charges of fraudulent registrations are being heard in a civil court and the State board of accounts has publicly stated that the action of the prosecutor in compromising judgments with notorious bootleggers should be referred to the court for grand jury action, Collins again ad journs the grand jury, this time until after election. Registration frauds, official malfeasance, felonies and misdemeanors await grand jury investigation in Marion County. Their existence has been publicly brought to the attention of James A. Collins, judge of the Criminal Court. James A. Collins again adjourns the grand Jury. Yet, he Is under oath to enforce the laws of ladiana!

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER LXXXIX (Continued). Rut the apartment was dark and empty. Its stillness seemed to crouch -ready to spring at me. I had a queer feeling that I wasn’t home at all, but still down at that silent and shuttered cantewi. 'tfiiis dark, .unfriendly place couldn’t be my own home. If it were ray home Jim would be ther£ waiting for me-. I sniffed vainly for a whiff of bis old briar pipe* But no warm, friendly cloud of tobacco wafted Itself to me from the blurry darkness. An aroma of strangeness seemed to steep the place. I pnt out my hand and switched on the lights. And still my little home looked odd and unfamiliar. I told myself that was because it was empty of Jim. Almost timidly. I crossed the room. There, propped against his own picture on the refectory table, lay a note’ in Jim’s handwriting. I stood weighing it in my hand for a second before I opened It. Then, still standing with my* heavy coat slipping hack from my shoulders, I twisted open the bit of paper and read Jim’s message: “Dear Annie: “Came home at 8:30, as we agreed, and sat here on pins and needles for half an hour. Then called the Canteen and got no answer. Waited till 9:30. You aren't a child, and I’m not going to be fool

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. — By David Corv.

"Lonely I sit like a little trapped mouse; The only way into my prison log house Is down through the chimney. Make haste, I Implore, For locked are the wludows and bolted the door:*’ This is the song the sweet voice sang j as Puss tried to enter the little log 1 house, as I told you In the story before > this. < "Keep up a brave heart," he called out, and then he Jumper on to the roof | and crawled up to the red brick chimney, i "Gracious me! I feel like a Pussy Cat Santa Claus,” he said, as he let himself carefully down. Arid, oh. dear met Wasn’t it sooty inside that chimney! j Well, I just guess it was and when Puss j at last found himself on the hearth he j was as biack as a crow, and before he could see anything he had to wipe his eyes. And then he heard the sweet voice say: “O little cat, you’Te come in time; I’m glad you heard my little rhyme.” And then Puss cut the cords that bound her and set her free, and he did It so quickly that I didn't have time to tell you the captive was a lovely princer# with long golden hair and blue eyes. And then Puss opened the door -ad the windows and let in the light. And then, all of a sudden, he saw himself in the mirror. “Gracious me! I'm as black as a coal!" And then the Princess began to laugh.

enough to worry about you, but I don’t propose to sit home and wait for you nny longer. Don’t know when I’ll be back. JIM.” A little sob of uneasiness caught in my throat, and then suddenly a laugh chased It away. For as plainly as If he had written it there I could read this message between the lines of Jim’s note: “Now worry about me awhile. It's your turn, and I’m going to let you have your full share.” Whereupon a low chuckle sounded In answer to my laugh. So Jim was home after all. Calmly, though my heart was beating a rat-a-tat, I slipped out of my coat, and, keeping my eyes resolutely from the door to my bedroom, where I was sure the laugh bad come, I sank idly down on the couch and plumped up a pillow to fit into the hollow of my back. Then with keen enjoyment of my own power to be a complete spoil-sport, I rolled my command on my tongue: "Come out l heard you!” “Well, you lake it calmly enough.” It wasn't Jim’s voice that answered me! With terror tightening my throat I looked up to facie the intruder. The half open door leading to my bedroom stirred faintly and then flung wide. Over the thresh hold stepped Tom Mason.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)

“Come over here,” she said, and she washed Puss Junior's face with her little lace pocket handkerchief, which she dipped in a pail of water. And after that she dusted off his hat and coat, and tbe n she said : "Come, let ns hasten away.” and she ran out of the log houae aud down the forest path. And after a while she and Puss came to the edge of the wood where a deep river flowed down to the big. blue ocean. ' X.et us find a boat,” said tbo Princess. "For near the sea is my father's castle!” .So she and Puss hunted along the bauk until, ail of a sudden. Puss discovered a boat. Wasn’t that lucky 7 And when ho had pushed It into the water the lovely Princess jumped in and Puss picked up the oars and rowed off down the river. Aud the merry breezes blew the golden hair of the Princes* this way and thut way until she was forced to tie it up with n piece of rope, for the silk ribbon had fallen into the water and they did not dare stop to get it for fear the robbers might catch them. Well, on and on they went, swiftly down the big river, and by anil by the sun went down aud the stars came out, and Puss got so tired that he had to rest while the Princess steered the boat with one oar. And In the nest story you shall hear wbut happened the neit morning, for pretty soon both the Princess and Puss fell fast asleep.—Copyright, 1920. (To be Continued.)
