( Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan I'ayne Cos. Advertising offices | Kew fr or k. Boston. Payne. Burns A Smith, Inc. THE WORLD does progress. Policemen with nerve enough to arrest Denny Bush have been found on the Indianapolis police force! PERHAPS JUDGE COLLINS feels that when the time comes he can call all the candidates into Ms private office and intimidate them into getting out of the way and letting him run alone for mayor! MR. ESCHBACH’S RECORD for economy in the conduct of the State board of accounts makes more pertinent the Inquiry as to why Marion County should be asked to pay $6,000,000 more taxes next year. JUDGE ANDERSON’S POSITION in regard to the prosecution of coal operators and miners who disobeyed the law Is absolutely correct. But one cannot help wondering what the judge proposes to do about it THE UNSUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATS are wondering whether they should maintain headquarters. The successful Republicans have no idea of closing their headquarters. That’s why they are successful Republicans. Street Car Fares No one will seriously contend that the Indianapolis Street Railway Company is not in dire need of additional revenue with which to meet the burden of supplying Indianapolis with service adequate to the growth of the city. The question that grows out of its petition for the right to charge 2 cents for a transfer does not present a dispute about the necessity of granting it more money, but of how more revenue shall be provided. There is a wide difference of opinion on this subject. The company has elected to ask for a transfer charge. The city, as represented by Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, takes the view that additional revenue should be collected off the interurban lines that operate cars into the terminal station over the city company's tracks. Still another method of increasing the company’s revenues has been suggested in the proposal of zoning the city and forcing passengers to pay according to the mileage they are hauied. Abstract justice is more nearly served by the zone system of fares than by any other method and before the public service commission adopts any other method of Increasing fares the zone plan should be carefully considered. Mr. Ashby’s plan of taxing interurban traffic to support the city service is open to some criticism, the most important of which is that the interurban business Is not in any condition to stand a drain such as might be entailed In any effort to make it support Indianapolis city service. The problem of how best to aid the traction company is squarely up to the public service commission. At the period in the life of the city system when a very little assistance would have made no assistance necessary now the commission yielded to the influences of misguided resentment against the company and for nearly two years listened to a quarrel over the differences between twentyfive tickets for a dollar and a 6-cent fare. Asa result of that controversy, in which the company lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, Indianapolis has had Insufferably poor street car service and now the time is fast approaching when the city must rehabilitate the lines or abandon the street car as a method of transportation. The time has arrived for a speedy settlement of the street car problem. It is to be hoped that the commission will determine quickly which relief method is best and promulgate that relief for the company which will be most likely to give relief to the public.

18 the Lesson Learned? There should by this time be no doubt remaining In the minds of the Democrats of Indiana that their opportunities for success in the future will depend on their present ability to start working for that success. In the last disastrous campaign the Democrats as a whole proceeded on the false assumption that they could get into the political field a few weeks before the election, and by dint of strenuous effort atone for the apathy which they displayed in the earlier days of the campaign. The Democrats did get into the harness the last six weeks of the campaign and they accomplished a tremendous amount of work. But they did not accomplish enough to change a single result in Indiana. The time has passed when a campaign can be fought in October. Political success comes to those who start early and work late. The Republicans have done this for years and the size of the pluralities they rolled up Nov. 2 speaks in no uncertain terms of the efficacies of their methods • The Democratic State committee meets tomorrow to view the remains of the party in Indiana. The unmerciful trouncing the Democrats in Indiana got Nov. 2 will eventually be a blessing if it has sufficiently impressed on the Democrats the fact that political neglect and political success can never be side partners. For some time in Indiana Democratic organization matters have been reflected immediately after an election. The machinery which the party must have to win has been allowed to stand in the weather where it has invariably disintergrated until it is useless when the Democrats awaken to their helplessness without it. Feverish efforts to repair the old party machinery in the last few weeks of the election are merely misguided wastes of perfectly good energy. Whether or not the Democracy succeeds In “coming back” in the years to come will be easily foretold in the next few weeks. When the Republicans went down disastrously in 1912 they set about rebuilding their party before the end of that fateful year. This is the only way in which a political party can be rebuilt. The Democrats of Indiana will start immediately to build a permanent organization in Indiana or there will be the same old story of blasted hopes to be retold in 1922 and 1924. Love of Nature To walk through the forest and kick the fallen leaves is the joy of every nature lover at this time of year. The thought of coal bill or rent day, of office, workshop or housekeeping melts into the wonderful mists of brown October and disappears in the mysterious stillness surrounding the barren trees. It was ever thus. Nature eternally was as beautiful, as tempting, as fertile. Man was always equally drawn toward her manifestations and each magnificent day awakens the feeling that makes him believe anew world has opened. Nature, however, has not accomplished in many cycles what the clash of wits and the necessity of respect for the other man’s rights have done. The American Indian is our nearest picture of nature’s child, especially as we fancy he w-as generations ago. He lived tinder the open sky, studied treeß and animals and matched his wits for a living against nature’s tricks. Had the pale face not interrupted his hunt and stilled his war cry very little change, if any, would have occurred in the manner of life he led. The harnessing of electricity with its multitudinous applications was an act of civilization. The cultivation of fruits and grain to their present perfection is the result of study, never contemplated by Indians. The invention of machinery for factory, farm and home arose in the city. The Indians cultivated honesty, hospitality and the family relationship; their Magna Charta was the forest and the use of the tomahawk; their constitutional right' were never preserved in writing, passing from lip to lip only. Their equal suffrage was never enacted and their respect for the weak does nc~ appear. The Indians who lived in daily view of the beautiful Niagara may have had poetry in the soul, may have been good Indians but, unaided, they would never have been able to utilize the water for electricity, nor to use the force under control as the city-bred man has. The love of nature is an instinct but it has never led to the greatest development nor to the utmost utility in mpm.

CITIES that had “daylight saving" time during the warm weather have turned their clocks back an hour for the winter. Chicago resumed standard or sun time last Sunday, t.ho change being marked by the same confusion that prevailed when tho new time was adopted early in the summer. Where fer there has been meddling with time the experience has been similar. The public, except the farmers and golfers, does not seem to care which time is followed. The farmers want the old time, because they are accustomed to getting up at the earliest practical time anyway. The golfers prefer daylight saving, because most of them are men who like to close their desks early and go to the golf course at the most favorable time. Any one who has seen the farmers and their wives and daughters up nn hour too early, working in wet fields before the dew Is off, will understand why they are In favor of standard time, or “God’s time,” as some one has called it. The farmer has to do a full day’s work in daylight, regardless of what the clock says. The so-called daylight saving puts him at a disadvantage, and anything that is a disadvantage to the farmer, adding to his costs, makes living higher. After the entire country had tried daylight saving, Congress repealed the law that established this time generally. However, Chicago, New York and certain other cities adopted the new time for the summer, those who wanted it. saying, “If others do not like this time they do not have to use it.’’ The result of these cities having one time and the rest of the country another has been confusion and inconvenience, particularly In the transaction of business and iu traveling. The railroads, finding it impossible to follow the time of a few cities and golf clubs, observed standard time. Signs were posted in stations and ticket offices explaining that railroad time was one hour slower than daylight saving time, but they were of little help in reducing the confusion. Throughout the summer the railroad wait-ing-rooms in Chicago were filled with people who were “one hour off," or worse off, as a result of the mix-up in time. It seems there now has been enough experimenting to demonstrate that daylight saving benefits only a few and works a hardship on many. Standard time is the right time and should be followed all the time. —W. D. Boyce in the Saturday Blade, Chicago.

SEES DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH IN MARION COUNTY RETURNS

Woodburn Masson, the Democratic member of the election board, has made an analysis of the vote in Marlon County in the last election that shows conclusively that In this county the Democrats made effectual gains In spite of the Republican landslide. He says: “While the result of the election Is disappointing, there certaldly Is nothing discouraging In It so far as Marlon County la concerned. “Compared with the outcome two years ago, the party actually gained ground. The Republican plurality fell far behind the increase In the vote. In 1918 the total vote cast In the county for the Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress was 49,998. The plurality

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1920.

The Right Time

of Merrill Moores, the Republican candidate, was 9,430. This year the total vote was 141,675, an Increase of 91,667. Mr. Moore’s plurality was 17,889. an incraaae of only 8,459. Figured on the basis of 1918, his plurality should have been 25,112. In other words, the Democratic ticket made a gain of practically onethird on the increased vote. "Another encouraging feature of the returns Is the heavy increase In the number of Democratic votes cast In tbe First, Second, Third, Fourth and Eighth wards, usually referred to as the north side wards. Tbe total vote cast In these wards In 1918 was 18.033, of which Mr. Moores received 12.284, a plurality of 6,535. This year there were 48,367 votes

cast, and he received but 28,819, while Mr. Spaan received 19,548, the plurality being 9,271. The vote Increased over 250 per cent, while the plurality Increased lees than 50 per cent This Is an absolute demonstration that tbe women In these wards voted for the Democratic candidates and the League of Nations. "A glance at the vote in the Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth wards, on the sonth side, shows that we made a largo gain, notwithstanding the defection of the German vote. The 1918 total vote for Congressmen was 10,692, with a plurality in favor of Mr. Schlosser, the Democratic candidate, of 658. This year's total vote was 28,841, an increase of a little over 250 per cent. The plurality of Mr. Spaan, the Democratic candidate, was 4,177, an increase of about 660 per cent, several times the percentage of Increase in total vote. “We always are mat with a polltlcn’ solidarity of the colored voters that Is a disturbing element in local govern ment. This year it was amazingly dls played In tbe returns from fifteen precincts in which the negro population l densely congested. The canvass show the following results: First Ward— Harding Co.' Sixth precinct 888 rr Seventh precinct 623 90 Thirteenth precinct 266 9 Third WardThird precinct 548 12-" Seventh ward 642 6 Eighth precinct 614 2 Ninth precinct 823 80 Fourth Ward— Fourteenth precinct 490 27 | Fifteenth precinct 619 40 Fifth WardFirst ward 900 49 j Second precinct 609 85 Third precinct 579 IRS Fifth precinct 6026 190 Sixth WardThird precinct 483 173 ; Fourth precinct 421 101 9,118 1,400 ! "It will be seen that the average plu- 1 rallty of these fifteen precinct* was over [ 500. The Republican plurality In the ! remalulng 162 precincts was only 10,417, an average of sixty-four to the pre- j clnct. If we add to the vote in tbe precincts last enumerated the vote of the colored people In other precincts It will be found that they bold a tremendous power In this county. As long as they voto as a class and not as Individuals the Republican party will have an aid that no real call to citizenship will ever reach. "In my Judgment the party le stronger now In numbers and in its working organization than It has been since 1008. The principles It stands for, especially those Involving the League of Nations, will remain unchanged, and the new and , the Independent voters who joined the
