DENNY BUSH is at present taking advantage of the first legitimate stay of execution of a four-year-old seuteuce that has yet beeu granted to him. IF THE GOVERNMENT makes that $23,000,000 loan to Greece and her king, it might also extend a little credit to someone nearer home. We could nominate the recipient. iT IS REASSURING to hear that regardless of the great Republican majority in this State the administration still regards Ft. Benjamin Harrison ns too important to be abandoned. THOSE POLICEMEN who looked for booze and found jewelry might continue, as Charley Ross is yet undiscovered and Captain Kidd’s treasury is somewhere. Also a few more automobiles are unaccounted for. MORRIS BLEIWEIS3 appears to have joined the 3do others who are being relieved of the immediate necessity of suffering penalties for misdeeds through the well-known “good-fellowship” of Judge James A. Collins. THE SPECIAL FAVORS granted to thirty-five Criminal Court defendants by Judge Collins on the motion, of his “cooperating” friend, Claris Adams, will not make it any easier for the police to enforce the law in Indianapolis. GOVERNOR GOODRICH displayed his real friendship for Paul Haynes and Carl Mote by not appointing them colonels on his military staff until the end of his reign. They will not be under the necessity of purchasing glittering uniforms as Governor-elect McCray has decided to dispense with the “gold braided staff of heroes.” The General Assembly! The General Assembly of the State of Indiana opens today for a regular session that gives evidence of differing from other sessions in only one particular—the Legislature has been “taken out of politics." That is to say that partisan politics such as the time-sustained struggle between Republicans and Democrats will not be in evidence in this Assembly, for there will not be enough Democrats present to interfere with tho desires of the Reublicans in the consideration of anything they may desire. The responsibility of the Republican party for this session’s results is complete and enormous. The numerous appeals for “harmony” that have already been made are indicative of the trouble that is ahead for the party. With complete possession of the two houses, all the State offices and J by far the larger number of city and county offices, the Republicans of Indiana have none but themselves to blame for conditions that they, alone, can create. The administration of Warren T. McCray will become the most complete test of government by the Republican party that Indiana has ever seen. It is not strange, therefore, that Mr. McCray should approach the governorship with considerable anxiety and it is not unfitting that he should exhibit the gravest interest in the organization and the program of the legislative branch of the government However desirable it might be to separate the legislative and executive departments of the State government, it cannot now be accomplished. In the years to come the four-year period beginning In 1921 will be known as the “McCray administration.” McCray, the Governor, will be judged by the results produced both by the legislative and the executive departments. The executive department cannot function without the cooperation of the legislative branch, wherefore, if there dver is a justification for a Governor exerting his influence in legislative matters it is now, when the Republican party of Indiana is on trial and the Governor is, in reality, the leader of that party. The Times bespeaks patience for the members of the Assembly and the Governor, as well. These gentlemen are shouldering an enormous burden and there will be no concerted opposition to point out the possibilities of error to them, nor to make it difficult for them to err. Therdemands of common justice are that they be first accredited with a desire to do that which is in the best interests of the State of Indiana and that thereafter their actions be interpreted as the earnest efforts of men who are called upon to function under the most frying of conditions.
Misspending Money It is proposed in the coming Legislature to ask the State to appropriate money for fairs in small counties as the small associations are finding difficulty in obtaining sufficient money or patronage to keep them up. The Indiana Association of District and County Fairs is preparing to push this matter. If the community fails to support the county fair, it would seem ridiculous for the State to expend good money for that purpose. There is a law which permits counties to appropriate money for fairs hnd this is generally done, several hangers-on getting the benefit of it. The fair associations which own lands pay no taxes. If there were no fairgrounds in Indiana and they depended on public enterprises, there would be no efforts at all, simply because there is no demand for it. The county fair has long since served its purpose. If the Legislature does anything In this regard, it ought to cut off every penny given to county or State fairs. Goodrich's Message , The outstanding feature of the four-year administration of Governor James I\ Goodrich is his final message to the General Assembly, which the Times prints today in full. Governor Goodirch has therein given some sound advice to his successor and particularly to the members of the General Assembly. He has not indulged in vain boasts to an extent that is not pardonable and the message appears to have been written from the viewpoint of a man looking into the future rather than into the past. There will be disagreement with his recommendations as there should be, but these recommendations are not without merit At least, they give evidence of sincerity and the effect of much experience. Those citizens who have had opportunity to know what was bad as well as what was good in the Goodrich administration, will regret that in the four Vears that have passed Governor Goodrich did not bend his remarkable ability for accomplishment to the task of obtaining some of those things for the people of Indiana he now regards as gossible and, indeed, recommends. Coal Indictments -Down in Tennessee fifty- local coal mining and brokerage concerns have been charged criminally with exaction of unjust and exorbitant prices in the producing and handling of coal, by the Federal grand jury. The Indictment contained more than nine hundred counts and charged that some of the defendants made profits aa high as $7.50 a ton on their coal. After the fiasco of Government action in Indiana and the disclosure, in which Daniel W. Simms resigned rather than beat the air in the prosecution of profiteers here, it is a little surprising to see the Government get busy down in the hills of Tennessee. The question will at once arise whether the Government will handle the case like they did here and agree not to use some of the evidence against the culprits and delay until the entire matter blows over or whether it is in earnest anti will not make a mockery of the prosecutor and a hollow sham of the court. Coal was as expensive in Indiana as in Tennessee and undoubtedly the Government could find just as much profiteering here as down there, if it desired. Seven dollars and a half profit on a ton of coal is not unusual even on Indiana coal. It is hoped something will be done rattier than make these indictments a scrap of paper, while the public pays ihe bill and profiteers flourish.
New Zealand Gives Proof That the Golden Rule Pays

ALINE drawn due wet ISO degrees. or half-way round the world, then due south nearly 100 degrees, reaches to the. south end of New Zealand, or a distance of nearly one-third the circumference of the earth. This is where W. D. Boyce, owner of The Indiana Daily Times, is taking an expedition in search of new material for travel articles and stories of fiction. The title of his articles, soon to appear in The Times, is “West by Southwest?’ While awaiting the arrival of these articles, the firm of which is on the way, information is being published on this page concerning the places to be visited by the expedition.
NEW ZEALAND’S prosperity under a government that those who watched in its beginning predicted would fail because it was too idealistic is'striking proof that the Golden Rule does pay If people will but give a chance to work out. The government owns and controls all tho railroads, telegraph and telephone lines and private concerns are prohibited from undertaking wire service of any kind. Insurance is extended by the government to Individuals and corporations and life Insurance, guaranteed by ail the resources of the country, Is issued to people. Early In the rise of the colony its foresighted leaders saw that If their plans were to be successful It would bo necessary to take steps to prevent the usual labor troubles which arise whenever there is prosperity. This resulted in the passage of the arbitration and conciliation act, which prohibits strikes. Instead, It provides for a .board of seven men in each district. Three of the members are chosen by the employers, three by the employes and the chairman by these six. ,Tbe board has the authority to aummon witnesses, conduct a hearing and make an award which Is binding for a specified time as soon as accepted by both sides. The arbitration board for all of New Zealand, however, acts as a court of last resort, to which cases may be appealed. The board of three is made up of one man chosen by employers, one chosen by employes and a third who Is a Judge of the Supreme Court. ARBITRATION BOARD’S DECISION IS FINAL. The decision fff this court is final and is accepted as such by all parties concerned. A feature of the operation of this law is that each man must tight bis own battles, no sympathetic workman can interfere In any way, any more than he could in a civil case being tried In our country. If he does, he sub jects himself to contempt of court and must suffer the consequences. No walking delegates are in existence, and they would not be tolerated. A workman continue* work at the same wages while the matter is in court. If he is successful, ho gets the advance. If he is not, he continues at the former wages. There is no bitterness of feeling engendered over' the contest; it is regarded as a business proposition, und the workman knows that he must clearly prove his claim or he cannot get the advance.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
Now you remember In the last story that the King of the Merry Winds gave Puss Junior a little magic whistle which would raise a hurricane If blown upon. Well, Puss didn't want to do anything like that, you know, unless he was attacked by a baud of robbers qr a wild elep) ant, so he kept the little whistle In his pocket until such time as he might need it. And after awhile, as he walked along, he came to a cottage where a man and his wife were quarrelling. And, oh, dear me, they were making a dreadful noise. And what do you suppose it was ail about? Why, It was because she had sold their old black cow that very morn ing to a man for a bag of gold. You see, this cow was a very wonderful cow, for she gave thirty quarts of milk a day and knew how to make butter and cheese as well."What’s the matter, my good friends?" naked Puss. And then the man and his wife stopped quarrelling and opened the gate. . “Come In, Sir Cat,” said the man. "Perhaps you can tell me how to get back my black cow which my foolish wife sold todny,” and then he explnincd to Puss what a wonderful cow she was. But the woman never said a word, for she wanted to keep the money to buy a new dress with, you see, and her husband was so stingy that he never gave her (anything to wear except calico aprons. "Let me think,” said Puss Junior, "for I doubt very much if the man who

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES / A New Serial of Young Married Life
CHAPTER CXX. “I’m going over to Washington on the next train, Anne,” Terry’s voice came over the telephone with a mnn'.fpst effort to be calm. “I’ll get a list of the towns where Hetty was before she came homo nnd see ts I ran trace -*ny happenings that will account for her disappearance" I turned from the telephone to smile a greeting at my husband. "Here's Jim. Want to speak to him?” I askad. "Haven't time—have to make a dash for the train. So long!” came from Terry, and hard on it Jim's tense: “Here—hold on! I want to speak 1 him.”

I once met a cow who jumped over the noon, but she ijevor made butter and cheese that I remember, although they do say that ever since she took that wonderful Jump, the moon Is full of green cheese. f "I have something of magic power In my pocket," Puss whispered to the man. "Come with mo, that Is, if you can take me to the place where your cow is kept, and X will promise you that you shall buy -her back for less than half the price your wife sold her for." So the man told Puss to follow him and together they went down the road for maybe a mile until they came to a great barn, through the doorway of which Puss saw a big black cow. "There she is,” said the man, and he called out "Soo Boss, soo Boss,” and the cow mooed and tossed her head till the silver bell at her neck sounded like a telephone in an empty room. Well, ne soon as Puss got Inside the barn he to6k out of his pocket a long blade of grass and gave it to the cow. And after she had eaten It, she whisked her tail back and forth, and then she sat down on a milking stool and gave a long sad inoo. And In the next story you shall hear what happened after that, unless the milking stool tips over and the beautiful black cow breaks her Ivory horn-—Copyright, 11)21. (To be continued.)

"He's hung up. Any news from Betty?" I asked eagerly. Impelled by Jim’* strange manner to believe that something most important must be in the wind. Then I added: “You’ve spoken to Mis* Sturges, dear?” "Yes, we've spoken," replied ,I!in curtly, scarcely heeding. A trifle uneasily Carlotta gathered up her belongings extravagant furs, elaborate, gold monogrammed patent-leather purse, gauntlet gloves, green-bordered handkerchief—and rose to depart. "I wanted to do something,” she said, with scarcely a trace of hejr usual flamboyant assurance. "Yes. I know,” I replied—and found myself adding the declaration Terry huo Anthony Norreys had made, “You’re ft brick Quick good-by and assurances'that she still wanted to help—but was sure there wasn’t anything to worry about—anu Carlotta was gone, her very perfume aud presence eliminated, and Jim and 1 stood facing each other with that queer tenseness I had felt lying almost tangibly between us. •T>ld you tell Mr. Norreys about Betty? Pld he send you homo to help hunt her?” 1 asked. ‘T.lke fan I did. IJke fun he did I" sneered Jim. “No L I’m through—that’s what. Out of the Norreys game for good.” In Jim's uneasy ejaculation X thought I detected the bravudo of the man who has lost his jab und doesn’t propose to whimper abouf It. That accounted for Ills tenseness—for his staring, glaring eyes and set lips. I sank down on the couch aud held out my hands invitingly. “Come, put your head down on my shoulder, dear, and tell me all about It. Maybe It can be fixed up,” I 6ald tenderly—ln a tone reminiscent of the old love we had found anew only the. evening before. Jim did not meet my mood; instead, he came and stood In front of me, belligerently balancing so that his weight should not fall on his lame ankle. “I’ve a darn sight less to tell you than you have to toll me, Anne. I knew from the beginning that there was something wrong about thl3 Norreys job—a screw loose somewhe.re. That’s why I wanted to talk to Terry Just now, I wanted the truth.”—Copyright, 1921.
