THE ATTEMPT to secure paroles for the two Marion County negroes serving life sentences certainly cannot be attributed to thß necessity of Increasing the administration’s plurality. MR. ASHBY appears to have recorded himself as against all relief for the street car company only in time to insist that the interurban companies relieve the local situation. THE SERIOUSNESS of the collapse of the new manual training high school building will be more nearly appreciated when the delay caused by the accident makes it impossible to house students. DISPATCHES say that Congressmen are attempting to solve Harding's Cabinet appointments by consulting the ouiJa board. Is the psychic table going to be the Colonel House of the next administration? NOW Governor Goodrich wants to visit Mexico as well as Russia. After reviewing the past four years of bis administration the Governor evidently expects to find those countries ideal havens for a quiet vacation. THE PROPOSED MUNICIPAL COURT ought to become a reality for the relief of Judge Walter Pritchard, if for no other reason. One of the most unreasonable things we do is expect one judge to handle all the police court cases. Mocking the Law On Oct 18 the Times printed a facsimile of a memorandum of a bet made at Stegmeier’s saloon and declared that the police were permitting open gambling there. On Oct 30, after waiting twelve days for tbe police to tako action to stop the continued gambling, a citizen caused a search warrant to issue and the place was raided with the result that the Stegmeier brothers were charged by the police with four offensesTrial of these cases was continued in the City Court on the request of Martin Hueg. attorney for the Stegmelers and director in the company that publishes the Indianapolis News, until Nov. 17. On Nov. 16, without preliminary notice to any of the witnesses in the cases. Deputy Prosecutor Spaan permitted Henry Stegmeier to enter a plea of guilty to pool selling and pay a fine of $lO and costs. Thereupon charges of keeping a gambling house, gaming and having gaming devices in his posser-sion which were set for trial on Nov. 17 were dismissed and on the request of Mr. Hugg evidence gathered in the serving of the search warrant was ordered turned back to the defendant. Subsequently it was learned that the gaming which resulted In the first arrests was actually In progress while the frame-up by which Stegmeier escaped prosecution on three charges was being arranged by the deputy prosecutor. There was no effort on the part of the prosecutor’s office to stop the gambling of which complaint was made. There was no effort to bring the defendants to trial on three affidavits before the City CourtThere was no effort to use the evidence gathered on a search warrant sworn out by a citizen to substantiate any of the charges subsequently made by the police. Mr. Spaan said he was interested in getting a “conviction.” He got a plea of guilty to a miner charge which brought a fee to the prosecutor and without notice to witnesses or interested parties he dismissed the other charges against the defendants. The primary purpose of filing a search warrant against the Stegmeiers was not to collect a fee for the prosecutor. It was to force the police to act against an open gambling house. The agreement which Mr. Spaan made with the defendants not only thwarted the purpose of the prosecutor but It disclosed that his only object in prosecution was to GET A FEE for the prosecutor. Wednesday another search warrant was sworn out for the same place and another raid was conducted Following his arrest Henry Stegmeier declared that he would cease permitting wagers to he placed in his place of businessHenry Stegmeier knew the law; he had pleaded guilty to one offense and he knew he was liable to further prosecutions for other offenses. Under these circumstances he was very willing to declare that he would discontinue violating the law. The point about the whole affair is simply this: The violations of law at the Stegmeier place could have been stopped at any minute either the prosecutor or -the police department told Henry Stegmeier to stop It. The deputy prosecutor was more interested in collecting a fee for his principal than In stopping the law violations. The police department was not Interested in whether Henry Stegmeier continued to violate the law or quit violating the law. In order to stop this open and admitted gambling ft was not only necessary for a citizen to bring the defendant into court once, but a second time. And in the interim it was necessary for the citizen to uncover the continuation of the gambling and at the same time devise some way of combating the willingness of the prosecutor to make it easy for the law breaker. It does not require a great deal of discernment to understand why It is difficult to stop gambling in Indianapolis as long as conditions which result in a profit to the prosecutor are tolerated by Indianapolis citizens.

The Primary Law There is no doubt in the minds of the voters of Indiana that there should be a reformation of the State’s present primary system. There is. hov.-ever, considerable difference of opinion as to whether primaries should be abolished. To abandon the primaries is to admit inability to frame a law under which the voters of both parties may select their candidates directly. Many of us are not willing to admit that this end cannot be reached by the enactment of proper legislation. The present primary law of Indiana is a failure insomuch as it does not accomplish the results for which it was brought into existence- The failure may be due, in a measure, to the various amendments by which feature r.'ter feature have been eliminated. As originally enacted the law called for first and second choice votes. Tills made it unusually cumbersome and generally unsatisfactory. The law as it now stands is merely a survival of a system that was never tried out sufficiently in this State to enable the voters to become familiar with it. A simple method by which the voters of each party may indicate their choice among candidates is the ambition of those who believe in direct primaries. So far it has never been attained in this State. Mr. McCray has indicated that the primary law will receive attention during his administration. But no one has as yet indicated whether the administration is willing to admit inability to frame a satisfactory primary law, repeal the present law and abandon the effort, or whether it will endeavor to < r • *- anew system of direct nomination of candidates. To Seek the Truth The National Association of Purchasing Agents recently met in Detroit and adopted plans which were badly needed and which, if carried out, promise to accomplish much good. The association’s plan is to establish a group of national councils for each raw material such as coal, lumber, paper, sugar, etc., which council will gather accurate information on the real costs of such commodities. So much propaganda has bern carried on which might be altogether false that the purchasing agents who are vitally effected propose to get at the true situation and to act on it. This will not only be for the benefit of the purchasing agent and his purchases and to prevent his being imposed upon, but it will also redound for Ihe good of the public. For profiteers capp.ot well make two prices and get by and if the purchasing agents have Qie information which will lead them to avoid the profiteers’ false quotations, then it Is pretty safe to believe that the public will benefit by them. This Is a move In the Ulght direction, and if honestly conducted promises great good.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER XCIX. “Mrs. Harrison?” asked a voice—rich In every note—‘‘This is Carlotta Sturges. I’ve Just had a note from ’Lootin' telling me to report at the canteen with our unit tomorrow morning at nine. I don't need you to explain, I can read between the lines. Ob, Mrs. Harrison —please don’t make me say It all over the phone. Won't you meet me at -the Cllnsarge for lunch? I want to see you.” "I’d lore to —but I don’t believe I can” —I began. “Oh, please, please 1 If you’ve another engagement, won't you postpono It? I must see you. You’ve done so much for me. Please don’t fall me now. Won’t you come?” There was a note of pleading In that warm, luscious voice of hers—a note that brooked no denial. “I’ll come,” I said, and we bade each other good-by and clicked up our receivers after arranging to meet at tba Clinsarge at one. So an hour later I found myself again entering the tiny foyer of the little ehlntx hung restaux-ant where I’d met Pat Dalton for tea a fortnight before. “Hnve you ever been here before?” asked Carlotta, who was waiting when I arrived and who swept me promptly to a little window table ahe had evidently reserved. “Only once,” I replied. “But I like it —I must com© more often.” “Who brought you—not Virginia Pal-

ton—your sister-in-law?” asked the girl with an eager abruptness she didn’t seem to recognize as rude. "No.” I said quietly, calculating my effect, because I felt tha need of knowing the reason for ber eagerness. “No, not Virginia, but Pat.” Carlotta’s high-colored face went pale. “Pat,” she said—“ Pat! • * • Shall we order? A cold egg first and then some chicken Cllnsarge with souffle potatoes and artichoke hollandaise. Does that please you?” • “That sounds delicious,” I agreed. “I don’t know much about the cuisine here. Pat and 1 came to tea." I surmised It was cruel to drag Pat Dalton's name back into the conversation, but 1 felt that for the happiness of Virginia and Pat—and perhaps even of this too vivid, too alive, too generous girl—l had best be cruel and gain the knowledge that might some day hc-lp them all. .“What a good sort you are, Mis.

Why, 1 shouldn’t be surprised If you were to get good old Pat back Into the arms—of his—melted Iceberg,” murmured Carlotta, lookiug at mo searchlngly.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

In the last story we left little Puss Junior just as he slipped away from the king who by his foolish Judgment had suddenly grown a pair of'donkey’s ears in place of his own. And if you don’t remember, please take my word for It, for Just at this momement our little Puss Junior saw a beautiful heifer, which is a young cow, you know, standing on the green meadow. And nearby stood a man who had a hundred eyes, and his name was Mr. Argus. And let me tell you right away he was a mighty good shepherd, for a man with a hundred eyes Is as good as fifty men with ohly two eyes. Now this beautiful young heifer had once been a lovely maiden, but a cruel spell had been cast over here, nnd she was helpless. Well, as soon as little Puss Junior came along he knew in a minute what was tha trouble. You see, he had traveled In Fairy Land for so long that he knew lota aud lots of strange things. “Listen to me, little Miss Cow,” he said, "and don't forget for a minute that I've been all through Fairy Land and have seen many strange eights. Go down to tho river and write a letter to your father,” for he wag the River Uod, you see, and was dreadfully worried about her. I So the beautiful heifer ran down to the river bank and on the soft sand she wrote her Dame with her left hind I hoof, and then her father, who was the I River God, you know, was dreadfully worried. “Oh, dear me!" he cried. ‘‘What can I do except give you n fresh drink of water each day?” aud, then all of a sudden, Mr. Argus, aaw what was taking place, and I should think he could, with one hundred eyes, don't you. So he ran down to the river and drove her away and tied a rope around her neck, and then he sat down on a high rock and looked all around to see what might happen next. And whlb ho sat there, along came a young man with wings on his feet, and, goodness mo, how he could run! Why, he ran faster than a messenger boy with a telegram. So he bid hi* wings, nnd walked over to where our friend Mr. Argus sst with his hundred eyes wide open watching the beautiful young row. ''Hello there, Mr. Argus,” said Mercury. for this was the wing-footed young man's name. "Listen to ruy music," and he ■>-<( and wn beside Mr. Argus and began to play on his musical pipes. And by nnd by the eyes of Mr. Argus began to wink nnd blink, and pretty soon they began to close, one by one, and before Tery long they were all tight shut, and then Mr. Argus began to snore. And when he did Mercury stopped playing, o r >d pulled or.t his sword, and when Mr. Argun was no sound asleep that h' he.nl bent wsy forward. Mr Mercury raised his sr >rd nnd cut his neck ill two, etui Mr. Argtis'a head with Its hundred eye* rolled into the river with a -r. at splash, and nwar went the beautiful voting heifer, as fast as she could. But she couldn’t go fast enough to es cape from a big tremendous fly that bad n stlns.-t as long as a wasp, ur.ill she reached a big rlv.-r cniled the Nile, when the fly got all tired out and flew home, end (’he beautiful young hifcr turned ]nt a lovely maiden, and that's all I can tel! you to this xtory.—Copyright, 1920.
