INCIDENTALLY, has any one ever discovered how much that sewage disposal plant will cost if it ever is completed? WOMEN VOTERS proved the contention of those who declare that never yet has equal franchise changed political resultsFoh NEARLY EIGHT YEARS the Republicans have been telling us how much better they could run the Government. Now comes the time to make good. LEGAL MINDS often differ, but seldom disagree over statements of facts as have Mr- Swift and Mr. Ashby over the prevalence of 112,000 gifts to bonding companies. BUT HOW does Jim Watson reconcile that "great and solemn referendum” talk with Ed Wasmuth’s pre-election assurances that the League of Nations was not an issue? THE ONLY DISCORDANT NOTE in that song of praise of the State prison is that it comes from the same board that failed to find anything wrong with the Marion County jail. JUDGE ANDERSON appears to have some ideas on the subject of whether evidence for the prosecution should be interned or produced In the trial of cases before his court. Waste of War Continues The operation of the law of cause and effect Is inevitable. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” It is only in shortsightedness that this is overlooked, by individuals and by nations. The Infraction o* a law does not make it less a law nor are Its violations unpunished. The truth of the quotation is as fixed and certain as the mathematical tables. There never was a person who lied without that person then being a liar; one who steals becomes a thief by his act The effect Is the punishment and it is absolutely unavoidable. This is true of nations as well as persons. The steamer Bismarck, which would have been the world's largest ship, has been burned at Hamburg. Years of effort are wiped away, uselessly and pass into waste. One of the incidents of war is waste. It is a reckless expenditure of all that ordinarily is conserved in time of peace, to gain a military advantage. This includes material and life forces, in addition to the subtle mental factors which go to make a community. The Hymn of Hate as sung by the Germans, as part of the war propaganda, to secure military support, wasted everything that tended In the direction opposite from the sentiment of the hymn. Thereby were sown seeds which havs occasionally borne fruit of riots, loot, arson and murder. The war lords intended to waste the other man’s land; they did not think to reap what they had sown It was fun to pillage Belgium and burn French villages and to despoil Invaded lands. Then the reaction began. Still it continues. The punishment is most severe and it will continue until justice is meted out to the last bitter dregs, for verily great seeds of waste were sown. The Bismarck would have been useful, at least. In carrying much needed food supplies. Even If it were used to release other ships eventually It would assist Germany to get to her feet, commercially. Hatred consumed by that fixed law, the very agency which was to aid and relieve Germany. A longer Isolation will carry more punishmentChickens come home to roost.
What About Taxes? Now that it has been everlastingly determined that the present tax law of Indiana is the great achievement with which it was acclaimed prior to the election, the vast majority of Indiana voters that gave it their approval have time in which to wonder how the new administration will amend it. For regardless of its perfection and indorsement it must be amended at the coming session of the Legislature. The taxpayers of Indiana will insist on some revision in this law, no matter how completely they have expressed their satisfaction with it. The question is wholly to what extent the friends of the measure will permit it to be amended. Merlon County’s interest in the new tax law is enormous. It increases every year. For 1920 Marion County’s taxes amounted to about $10,000,000. Next year the sum will be approximately $16,000,000. Hence the county has at least a $6,000,000 interest in the law and in this day of high costs six million dollars is a sum not easily overlooked. Then, too, there are indirect ways in which interest in taxation is fostered. For example, the street railway company declares it must have additional revenue with which to meet the $150,000 increase in its taxes. Eventually the street car patrons will have to pay this. Probably the greatest problem of the incoming administration will be that of taxation. No one knows today just what the administration is going to do about it. Why Worry? No young person need read this editorial. It Is for grown ups. Those who never do read editorials certainly fail to get all the jov there is in life, though the reader is too immature to understand the subject of the text. Even grown-ups don't always understand and it is intimated that the writers are sometimes deficient in this regard themselves. Many a grown-up pauses to wonder if he was born at the right time. This should be the least of worries, nevertheless it haunts a person all through life. Such a remark almost displays the age of the writer, but out of good manners the age of the reader will not be questioned. It was regretted in youth that the bad Indians were all killed; later the loss of opportunity for being a hero of the Civil war was deplored; now that the north pole and south pole are discovered and men fly and wireless follows and make another Captain Kidd impossible, the thrills of life are limited to everyday rounds and the joy of pay day with similar sedate and steady phenomena, so to speak. It is too late to worry about Robin Hood and his band, Daniel Boone will never be repeated and we will not play Admiral Dewey wUh a "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley.” The mind, nevertheless, goes into days of the past and man could have been a hero had he but lived in those ages. Another thought, too. enters the mind despite ourselves. Could men but be boys again, then some of the good things that are to come to pass would really be seen and enjoyed. It is too bad that all will not live long enough to see all the good things come to pass, but that is not the fault of the birth date, it is the misfortune of the quitting time. If one has sense enough to enjoy the present, in spite of debts and high prices, one is indeed a philosopher. Captain Reed’s Resignation There is something behind the resignation of Captain Reed from the Indianapolis police force besides the announced reason that he desired to retire to a farm. Reed has long been a policeman and he has risen to the rank of captain by reason of ability and a natural liking for police work. The pay of a captain is presumed to be sufficient to make the job desirable. , Captain Reed Is quitting the department either because It is so conducted that he does not fit into its organization or because the reward for faithful and efficient service is not sufficient to attract his type of men If, as has been frequently rumored of late, there is something wrong with the department, the board of safety ought, in fairness to the public It serves, make an efTort, at least to ascertain what is wrong If the police captains are not sufficiently rewarded for their services, then the city council should take steps to see that they are. Indianapolis needs,, experienced and capable policemen too much to continue losing the services of police captains in this manner.

of cigarettes—just a strange girl—she tossed them In and ran. Carlotta Sturges saw it. She ran quickly before anyone else, rnught me getting ready to give that anonymous gift to our boys, and flung them in the waste basket. Then she told me to take the ered.t —so you'd think I Avas trustworthy, instead of the little goose I actually was, to take in those smokes”— The lieutenant nodded to me and sraijed. "Do you know that I might have you transferred for carelessness like thnt?" she asked. "Yes, I do. And so did Carlotta Sturges. She probably knew also that she—was slated to—go. And she didn't use the bit of work that might have saved her—and condemned me." Again the lieutenant smiled. And I thought a stray sunbeam ventured threw the heavy plush portieres anil touched a glass prism—so that a little rainbow lighted the chandelier. “Our canteen is going on for maybe two years, Mrs. Harrison. And we need devoted workers who won't lose Interest Just because the great tenseness of the actual war is gone," she said. “I shall phone Miss Sturges at once. Thank you for your loyalty." I seized her hand in both of mine, and then I rushed out with a choked good-by. As I stumbled up the street with misty eyes, a vivid thought came flashing out to greet me. Certainly from now on Carlotta Sturges and I would be friends. And how- was Virginia going to take that? M hat would that friendship mean t° Carlotta—and to Pat Dalton?—Copyright, 11)2 and. (To be continued) PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. "..Vow, the next task which I must perform,” said Mr Hercules to little Puss Junior as they tourneyed on together, ns I mentioned in the story before this, “is to bring back with me the oxen who live on an island Ln the West close to the Betting sun.” So on und on went Mr. Hercules and little Puss Junior, and by and by they came to a great mountain. “Dear me.’’ said Mr. Hercules, "it’s too much trouble to cross over that high mountain.” So he spilt the mountain ln two and left half on each side, and ever since that time the geographic*Jjave celled tlie water that flows between the Straits of Gibraltar. So please don't forget when you studv vnur lesson that It was Mr. Hercules that made the rock of Gibraltar. Well, after a while they came to the island where the oxen were. lint, goodness me. there was a tierce two-headed shepherd dog guarding them, anil a big glnpt, besides! 'Store trouble, and then some more." said Mr. Hercules But he wasn’t discouraged. No, sir! He sharpened the points on his great club and then be found that giant, and after s terrible light the giant was killed, and his dog. too, and then Mr. Hercules had no trou hie at all in driving the oxea buck to his home. Well. Mrs, Hercules was very glad to see Fuss, and when she learned how Puss had helped Mr. Hercules by burning the Hydra's heads with hla flaming feather she Invited our llttie traveler to stay with them, hut Puss replied he must lie on his wav. so he said goodby and started off. and after awhile—not so very long he came t<> the country of the Pygmies. They were only thirteen Inches tali and when they worked In their cornfields the tops of the cornstalks seemed

like little trees to them. And while Puss stood watching them a great flock of cranes came flying through the sky, and then they swooped down and began to flea] the ears of corn. “Ob, help us. little Puss Junior!” cried the dwarfs. So Puss drew his sword and rushed at the cranes, and when they saw him with hls flnmina feather In hls cap they took wing and llew away. So Puss set off once again and by and by he came to the great blue sea. It was now nearing .evening and as Puss was weary with hls journey he sat himself down on a rock to rest. And white he sat there, os he looked across the sky he saw a mar; wading through the water. On hls head was a bright star, and as he came nearer the King of the Ocean, whose name was Neptune, drove by In hls chariot drawn by horses with brnzen hoofs and golden manes. And the King of the Ocean held In hls right hand a great spear, with three points, which he used to stir us the winds or to subdue the storms. ''King of the stormy sen am I; With my three-pointed spear I point to the sky,” snng Neptune, and then he beckoned to Puss, but what happened after that you must wait to hear In the next story. —Copyright. 1020.
