OH WELL, fortunately there Is no “overhead” attached to feeding those rats or It might cost more than $2,000,000 a year. BUT WOULD MR. LEMAUX be talking so much about street car extensions were he not grooming himself to run for mayor? IF WARREN T. McCRAY had disavowed Goodrichism as assiduously in the campaign as he is doing now his path might have been smoother. STANLEY WYCKOFF declares he is not talking as an official in his latest ranting about food prices and the suspicion continues that he is itlll press-agenting for the profiteers. Illegal Tax Fees More than a year ago the Times called public attention to the disgraceful manner in which attaches of the county treasurer's office were robbing taxpayers who were unfortunate enough to allow their taxes to become delinquent. Following an expose of the methods then in vogue the State board of accounts issued warning that fees illegally collected under these methods would be charged back against the treasurer. Edward G. Sourbier, who was treasurer at that time, has now agreed to pay over more than $2,000 illegally obtained while he was in office, through the continuation of a practice that has long been in vogue in Marion County. Unfortunately, there appears to be no method by which the persons from whom these illegal payments were exacted, often with insults and under duress, can be reimbursed without great cost and inconvenience to them. But this unfortunate circumstance should not prevent a practical application of a hard learned lesson. No more such Illegal fees should be collected in the county. Ralph Lemcke, present treasurer, continued the illegal collection of fees from the day he went into office. If he has ceased this grab it has only been within the last few weeks. The Times never believed that Mr. Sourbier accepted a penny to which he did not believe he was entitled. At the time the illegality of the collection was made public he declared that he had been advised by Martin Hugg, his attorney, that he was entitled to these fees. More recently it appears that Mr. Sourbier has accepted other advice than that he says he obtained from the attorney who later became a director of the Indianapolis News, for announcement is made that Mr. Sourbier has agreed to return the money charged against him by the accounts board. It is probably too much to hope that this action by the board will end the pernicious fee grabbing that has 60 long prevailed In the treasurer's office. Easy money has a lure that some officials do not appear to have sufficient conscience to withstand. But there is a statute in Indiana that opens the way to the impeachment of an official who knowingly extorts money from a citizen. For more than a year after it became known that extortion was being practiced nothing was done to stop it. It may be even longer before an end is put to this disgraceful mulcting of citizens, but that end will sure come. Some day, some citizen with a trifle more jealousy of his rights than another will take steps to bring erring public officials to Justice. Cause for Reflection A considerable part of the population of Marlon County will derive a little satisfaction from the fact that the Northwestern avenue bridge muddle has at last reached the stage where public officials are interested in it. The bungling that has marred the attempt to improve the Michigan road will always remain a black spot in the history of Marion County. In a community less given to partisan politics and more zealous of its treasury, the waste and mismanagement that has attached to this bit of road improvement would mean defeat for the adherents of the administration responsible. In Marion County a long hnd suffering public has learned to shrug Bhoulders and take the unsatisfactory detour. For many months more the Michigan road, with a good pavement split by lack of a bridge, will continue to be closed to the public. The seriousness of this Is enhanced by the fact that there are too few methods of entering Indianapolis from the north and west even with the Michigan road open. No one who is compelled to drive the several miles around this empty bridge site will do so without reflecting on the foolish blunder of county officials who built a road to both sides of a river and made no preparations for crossing the water.

True Sportsmanship Recent press dispatches show that the British are fitting out an expedition to survey and chart the northern part of the Weddell seacoast and to penetrate 1,200 miles of Antarctic territory hitherto not explored. This certainly shows true sportsmanship. The average man, with winter now coming on, is perfectly willing to let this exploring party go not only to the northern part of the Weddell seacoast, but to take all the other part, preempt the land, handle ice there the year round and bcome rich if possible. Sometimes it looks almost ridiculous that good money Is utilized In this manner and were it not that a generation ago Alaska was considered a “white elephant,” the conclusion might be safe. However, the spirit which initiates the exploration of some far off distant land is the same spirit that hundreds of years ago caused America to be explored. It is a peculiar fact that the Anglo-Saxon alone has the ability, possesses the vision and exercises the energy necessary to look Into the odd corners of the earth. In return for all these experience, there have been many disastere. but out of them also has grown an empire which boasts that the sun never sets upon it. It is fortunate that following this spirit there is such a civilization that in times of emergency like the late war causes those in far distant communities to contribute their money and even their lives to the perpetuation of the tight little island that generations before sent out its hearty children. This is an example of giving and growing rich, for England has given many illustrious sons and daughters to her colonies and those children have caused her to grow rich indeed. Sylvia's Failings So much has been said of Sylvia Pankhurst and her naughty ways that it seems a waste of paper to comment upon them. However, after all she represents a class of people whose ideas, although embodied in the gentler 6ex, are incompatible with our civilization and unfortunately she is subjected to prison and to harsh treatment until those ideas are eradicated. It is sad that someone who is a daughter or a sister or a wife should of necessity be thrown into prison. Indeed, it is almost unthinkable to the average American that any woman whose life is morally good need even get into the hands of the law. Sylvia Pankhurst attempted to do by radical means what the American women have done by a dignified appeal to the sense of Justice of our legislators. She served a term in prison for the burning of a beautiful landmark under the guise of working for equal franchise in England. Such a thing was absurd and unnecessary. The women in America obtained the franchise and still preserved the respect due their sex. After England granted women th'3 right to vote, Miss Pankhurst chooses the Communist party, gets In touch with a revolution in Russia, becomes connected with a seditious publication and is again put under police supervision. Apparently she prefers to ally herself with radicals rather than work along slower lines and exercises a rational and conservative influence for good. She Is but a misguided girl. The ideas she entertains are ideas held by misguided men, but who, being mere men, are not so spectacular as she. They live in an age of reason and of respect for the other person and these principles, after all, are uppermost in the formation of a state. The old saying that those who live by the sword shall die by the sword is illustrated in the lady. She desired to live In an extraordlripry atmosphere of noncomformity and the answer always of the commurUty to such a desire is the prison bars. -I \

I’ve nothing to do with myself and the days are so long." ‘‘A worthy motive!” commented Virginia dryly. “I don’t care If it Is or not. I'm lonesome. I guess the boys are, too—so fai from homo and with the excitement of fighting all over. I'd like to meet ’em—and make a few friends. I don't know anyone In New York.” ‘That's gracious of you, Phoebe,” said Virginia—still In the dry, dead tone so different from her usual curt decisiveness. “My friends—Jim's friends will appreciate being counted as nobody.” Copyright, 1920.

GETS RIG TURKEY IN WHITE HOUSE* Harding Practically Housebound After Rain. POINT ISABEL, Tex., Nov. 13.—Almost Impassable roads following a 24-hours rain, left Senator Warren G. Harding practically stranded on Point Isabel today. Fishing was made impossible by tho heavy norther which has raged two days. The President-elect had planned a day of golf In Brownsfille, but roads in this part of Texas are unsurfaced and a slight rain makes them exceedingly slippery and miry In spots and It was doubtful whether Harding would venture the trip. Whether Harding gets any outdoor exercise or not he has the prospect of a big turkey dinner. The Chamber of Commerce of Cuero, Texas, sent him a mammoth gobbler in a crate modeled in the form of a miniature White House. Harding has let It he known lie will not enter territorial waters of any other country on his Panama trip. The American minister to Venezuela, Preston M. Goodwin, extended the President-elect an Invitation to visit Venezuela and Colombia, bnt Senator Hardng indicated he would not accept. Plans for the departure from Point Isabel next Wednesday are complete. Leaving at 10 a. m. the party arrives in New Orleans st 10 a. m. Thursday, Nov. 18.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Corv.

Well, this story will tell you how Mr. Ulyßees with little Pusa Junior finally reached home. Now Mr. Ulysses had been away from Ithaca for more than twenty years. Yon sec he had been to war with an army of famous Greeks, and while be was away a number of bad men had tried tq take his palace away from his wife and soil. So, as soon as he arrived on his native shore, the Goddess of War dressed him up as an old beggar, so that he could safely reach his own palace without being killed by the wicked men who were trying to get his lands away from him. So he and Puss set out, and by and by they came to the palace, and Just as they were entering the gates Mr. Ulysses's old dog ran out and would have licked his master's hand if Puss hadn't whispered to him. “Be careful or the people will know it’s Mr. Ulysses.” So that wise old dog didn’t even bark, but made believe he didn't know his master. And then pretty soon the son of Mr. Ulysses came out and Invited them to have something to cat, for he felt sorry for the old beggar man, as he supposed his father to be, and for little Puss Junior, too, who was all tattered and torn, with holes In his red-topped boots. But pretty soon Mr. Ulysses whispered in his son's ear wh obe was and then all three 'went into the castle. But no sooner did the wicked men who were feasting at the table sec the old beggar and Puss all tattered and torn than they began to laugh, and one of them threw a stool at Mr. Ulysses. But he kept his temper until his son suggested that they try their skill with tho bow and arrow, and when they weren’t looking he removed all the weapons except an old bow that belonged to Mr. Ulysses. But when they tried to bend the bow to fasten the string to It no man was strong enough to do It. TTien Mr. Ulysses said, ‘‘Let me try,

"And now, my dear Pen-el-o-pe, for this was her name,” said Mr. Ulysses, “I want you to give something to my dear little comrade, Puss Junior, for without nls help I would never be here, but at the bottom of the deep blue sea.” So Mrs. Ulysses brought out a splendid suit of clothes and anew pair of red-top boots and gave them to Puss, and then : the old dog came in and wagged his tail and played with Mr. Ulysses until dinner time. For that old dog had missed him so that for all those long twenty years he bad never wagged his tall, not even once. And this is the last of the storls* about Mr. Ulysses, but next time you shall hear wbat Puss did, for pretty soon he set out again on his journey in search for further adventures.—Copyright, 1920.
