Loula, O. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising office* } New s orfct Boßtolli Payne> Burns * Smith. Inc. IF THE LEGISLATURE passes that Industrial relations court bill who will be the Alex Howatt of Indiana? WOULD IT NOT be in harmony with the Republican campaign strategy to refer to the proposal to trade Senator New for Will H. Hays’ seat in the Harding Cabinet as the “Weis Baaden" plan? MEMBERSHIP in President-Elect Harding's “association of nations’’ Is steadily dwindling. - Even Germany and Austria are knocking for admission to the League of Nations which Vierick condemned. THE FIGHTING DETERMINATION to achieve a single ambition which Warren T. McCray displayed in two hard-fought primary battles and an election campaign will certainly be needed again in the coming session of the Legislature to prevent the administration program from hitting the rocks. BOTH PARTIES having filed their expenses accounts, it is now proper for the public to speculate on how much the organizations actually spent. AMONG THOSE who will select Senator Harding’s Cabinet Indiana’s title to a portfolio is not nearly so well established as it is in the minds of a lot of Indiana politicians. Give Back the Tax Grab The Times would respectfully submit to Mr. Samuel Ashby, or whoever is at present temporarily in charge of the affairs of Mayor Jewetts administration that the city of Indianapolis ought to take care of the increase in revenue asked by the Indianapolis Water Company. The public service commission determined within the last year that the water company was entitled to an increase of approximately 9125,000 in its revenue. As the commission is a component part of the present administration of the city, county and State, it certainly could not have been In error In this decision. The water company now comes forth and shows that since the commission determined it was entitled to 9125,000 more the administration of the city, county and State has determined that 956.000 of that increase must be surrendered by the company in the form of increased taxes. We never had much regard for Indian givers. If it was right and proper for the Indianapolis Water Company to get 9125,000 more in 1920 it will be right for it to obtain that much more in 1921. Manifestly, if 986,000 is to be taken away from It in Increased taxes the purpose of the commission’s last grant has been impaired. There is where the city should step in and save the water consumers. A large part of this 986,000 tax increase will go into the city treasury. A greater part of it should be paid back to the water company in the form of fire hydrant rentals. At present the city of Indianapolis is paying 945 a year for each fire hydrant maintained by the water company. It is unfair to water consumers to ask them to pay higher rates and not ask the city to increase this bvdrant rental. By the simple expediency of increasing the hydrant rental the public service commission could restore to the water company the 986,000 the taxeaters are going to take away from It next year. Such a ruling would have two big advantages. It would deprive the Jewett administration of 986,000 which might otherwise be used as a first payment on another 910.000 garbage plant and it would tend to shift the burden of providing fire protection for the entire city from the shoulders of the water company’s patrons to seme of the other citizens who profit by such protection. Insincere Criticism The fault that the Indianapolis News and others are now finding with the parole system of Indiana by which a convict must be sentenced to three or four terms before he serves the minimum of one term is untimely, to say the least. When the flagrancy of parole abuses was a trite subject, prior to the last election, none of these now energetic “reformers" were interested. In fact they did ail that they could to discredit criticism of the system. Attacks on it now are fruitless, insofar as the accomplishment of reform is probable and the sincerity of criticism that is 111-timed Is always open to suspicion. Ollie Brown, the convict who ran down and killed a sister in the Circle when he should have been serving time for a previous offense, affords only one example of the misuse of the parole. This abuse is only equaled by the abuse of the power to suspend sentences Judge James A. Collins and other so-called “criminologists” have in the very recent past abused this power to an extent that arouses suspicions as to their motives. It is too late to complain about the case of Ollie Brown, and the complainants are very careful not to direct their complaints against any abuses that could possibly be righted.

The Bonding Syndicate The recent flurry among the administration's pet bondsmen in the police court was Interesting Insomuch as It established what every person familiar with the court suspected—that there Is a syndicate operating by which a man may obtain a bond, a lawyer and a certain amount of "puli'* by the payment to one runner of a scheduled sum. Judge Walter Pritcharcf knows that this syndicate operated and he cannot help realizing the evils that grow out of Its operation. There is much to Indicate that Judge Pritchard would like to be free of its influences, but the power of the administration that maintains it is undoubtedly greater than the power of the police Judge. Asa reward for political work certain ward heelers In Indianapolis obtain the privilege of signing bonds. These ward heelers enter into combinations with shyster lawyers and for a fee furnish bond and socalled legal counsel to the man who is brought into police court The fee Is based on the amount of money the runner believes the victim can be scared Into giving to him. The scheme affords “good picking” for the administration pet and the shyster lawyer, but it also affords very poor surety for the State of Indiana and it certainly reacts to the discredit of the court. A possible effective way of breaking up the scheme would be through the disbarment of any attorney who furnishes bonds or acts in collusion with a bondsman. Why Wear’Em? The report from Rear Admiral McCully that a pair of cotton sox post 58,000 rubles in Sebastopol, Russia, forces one to ask, why sox at all under those circumstances? There was a time in America when long skirts were worn as a protection of the nether extremities by the gentler sex, but as winter is approaching it becomes obvious that they were superfluous; that such protection is not needed. So, if the dream of distracted Russia is wafted to our shores —and Indianapolis may be thankful in this regard that it is not a seaport—if perchance a pair of cotton sox runs Into four figures In cost, let men also discover that such protection heretofore thought necessary is superfluous. If the boot is sufficiently large, straw may be packed about the foot, as was done in Europe by those who were, in pre-war times, the poor of that land. In this country, where the pathos of seeing a man go about with his feet in gunny sacks gives way to admiration of the utility of his invention, we may say, attire without sox the year around, and supplement the comfort with gunny sacks. The supposed example of a poor rural Congressman in passed years, who was rumored to go without sox, may well contrast with our silk stocking habits of today. , Yet the plight of Russia, the tragedy of little children Buffering forbids levity, even if Americans regard the price, 52,000 rubles, for a pair of sox a most ridiculous situation, and cannot what would be required for an entire outfit of furnishings. \

So all In the next minute our table was stretched to accommodate sou the men ordered cocktail*, In which Carlotta alrooat defiantly joined them. “This Is a cosy little foursome,” Tom Mason declared Jo - tally after his second drink. “Suppose you girls fool round over your sweets a bit, and then we’ll take you to a matinee or for a spin up the road In Pat’s little new car.” Carlotta beamed and clapped her hands. “Oh, that’ll be Jolly—we’ll go tip the road and have a dance and some tea, and I promise to make the boys drink tea too, Anne.” I winced—as much at her intimate use of my name as at the situation. “1 couldn’t,” 1 said—and then repeated in uninspired fashion —"I couldn't. ’ “Why not?” asked Pat, a little belligerent. “You were happy enough till I came—ls it me you’re after objecting to, Mrs. Jimmie?” “Oh, no—you know it kn’t that, that, didn’t I have tea with you?” 1 cried unguardedly, stupidly—and regretted on the very period to my words that I hadn’tbitten my tongue out when 1 began the sentence. "Tom and you—Pat and I. I chaperone you, you chaperone me,” laughed Carlotta. . „ . Tom Mason leaned forward. Inclining his body toward me In the little intimate

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Bv David Corw.

You remember the last story how little Puss Junior saw s fisherman turn Into a green-haired merman. Well, by and by, after a while, he wandered ever ao far through the Country of the Gods, he came to the Palace of the Sun. and there, on a sparkling throne, sat the King of the World. And near at hand stood the Day, the Month and the Year, and Just beyond them were a row of lovely maidens called the Hour*. And behind them stood Spring, with a wreath of flowers, and Summer, with a garland of ripe grain, and Autumn with bis feet stained with grape-Julee, and Icy Winter, with his hair bristling with Icicles. And. oh, dear me. How the rays v of the Sun God sparkled on them all, and the eyes of little Puss Junior could hardly look at him. “What, hoi’’ cried the Hun King. “Is this the son of my old friend. Puss In Boots?" And then he began to laugh, and all the Hours sang a sweet song, and Winter tinkled h!s Icicles together till they syunded like Xmas bells. “What would you ask of me, little cat?" Inquired the beautiful Sun King, and he beamed on our little traveler and Day smiled and sang this little song: Gather ye roses In the morn Before Time come* a-reaping, The sweetest buds that smile at dawn At eventide are weeping.” “I would ride In your chariot,” replied little Puss Junior bravely. A*d then you should have seen how surprised that grt Bun King was. for no one had ever ridden In his chariot but himself, “I dsre not tnke you," he said. “The first part of the way Is steep, and It Is as much as my horses can do to climb It even In the cool of the morning; the middle is high-up In the heavens and so far above the earth and the sen that It even makes me dizzy to look down. And the last part of the road comes down so steep that I can hardly drtvo my horses for fear they may stumble.”

way ho has of seeming to shut off the world and make It a place with room In It for only the two of us. “A chaperone!” he chuckled. “A chape\pi)e! But you can take tea alone with this scamp of a Pat here. A chaperone! That’s more than your husband had when 1 saw him and a pretty little, snaky little Oriental brunette sneaking Into the Old Handley, when I stopped there for a cocktail before 1 met Pat." Carlotta snickered. "There’s something sacred about marriage, Mrs..,Jimmie. You said It. Como on, be a good fellow. You chaperone me —1 chaperone you—and wo beat the boys at their own game.” 1 rose, with sudden resolution that brought the men to their feet. “Didn’t 1 tell you when we met that I’d an engagement?” I asked, lying by implication even whilo I stayed Just within the truth. “Well, I’m on my way to see Virginia. This was a delicious luncheon. I hope my Jimmie and his little secretary fared half as well they're so busy they have to work even at mealtime.” . “You're on your way to see Jennie 7 murmured Pat Dalton, holding my hand In his as If he meant never to let it go. Then he flung It from him—and turned to the others: “Well, that needn’t keep us from spinning up the road —need it? But he didn't offer to take me to my destination in the new car.-Copyright, 1920. . . To Be Continued.

But, would you believe It? Puss was not a hit frightened at this, but said. “Your Royal Highness, take me with you tn your wonderful chariot, for T have been through the high heaven* on Mother Goose’s Gander and on the hack of a winged horse called Peg-a-sus, and I have no fear.” “Well, come along, then," satd the Sun King. “It 1* almost time for me to start,” and he led Puss out to his,stable, where he kept his fiery steeds and hts golden chariot. And when all was ready Dawn opened the purple doors of the East and away went the golden char.of up the roadway of the sky. And as toon as she saw the Sung King coming Mistress Moon gathered her lacy clouds about her and, with all bar Stars, disappeared behind a dark mountain. And ns the chariot was drawn up the skypsth the birds In the woods awoke, and the deer shook the dew from thrlr horns, and the flowers opened their eyes, and the sheep commenced nibbling the grass, and the smoke cam* up from the chimneys, and then, t last, the big, round world awoke. On and on drove the great Sun God, with little Pnss by his side, and at last they cam* to the steep part of the road that led down Into the West. “Now hold fight,” said the Sun King, and away they went, while th# sky turned Into all the colors of the rainbow. And In the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright. 1920. (To be continued) VARNISH TREES. Q. Is there such a thing as a varnish tree? O A. R A.

CALLS STATUTE BOOK BEST AID Used to .Guide Boys by Juvenile Court Officer. - .t ——- By WALTER I). HICKMAN. A brown covered book Is aiding many boy* In this city (o stop being “bad boys' and turn to the right fTho book bears the high sounding title of “Acts—l9l7 —lndiana.” The owner of this particular book is Lieut. John Corrigan of the Juvenile Court. Many a lad with tear-stained face has heard Lieutenant Corrigan read “and to which may be added six months' imp: lsonment.” This teacher of “bad boys"—and that is what Lieutenant Corrigan really is—has a unique theory that It Is necessary to give the boy some proof that he Is “not trying to put it over on him.” “My alSi Is, when boys are brought In here, to realize that a 40-year-old head Is on 15-year-old shoulders,” said Corrigan. “The other day a boy was brought tn here who had taken $1 from a woman who had employed him. The boy’s stepmother had made good the dollar. “I tried to Impress upon him the gravity of the offense and that the Legislature met every two years to moke laws which I yid he as well as his stepmother had to obey. I told him It was my painful duty to enforce those laws and as well as obey them myself. “I told him how I hated to grab him on the street by the sleeve and lead him to the lockup, when I would rather meet him on the street, shake hands with him and tell him what a fine young fellow be Is. "So then Just to show him that I wasn't trying to put anything over on

Then the officer said, softly, “I told him that when he violated the law of the land he Is violating God’s law.” Corrigan has another way In getting Into a boy and that Is by Impressing the boy wlfh the necessity of going to school. “I then take the hands of the boy tn mine,” said Corrigan, “and I tell him that those hands were made for toll, but If he didn’t get knowledge Into his head he would have to dig a ditch or do other kinds of labor which does not ds* rnand an education. “I tell him that he has a long tims to work with his bands and that he will get tired.
