THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION must be proud Indeed of the opposition it has created to a first-class utility law. THE GRAND JURY has returned some more indictments but no’ona hheard Judge Collins express'any determination to take heed of them. at,t, IS WELL at Die county jail now. Amos Butler has decided that Judge Anderson’s condemnation of conditions therein was “greatly exaggerated. . TREASURER LSfMCKE says the Benedict bill would make the county treasurer's office a “football of politics.” Perhaps he prefers that it remain the fountainhead of political revenue! MR. McCRAY’S OPPOSITION to the primary does not appear to be shared by a majority of the Senate, but perhaps the Senators have not had as much experience with it as the Governor. THERE ARE SEVEN different reasons why the present county officials oppose the Benedict anti-fee bill, but the first one is that It would deprive them of fees, and the other six are the same. MR. KIDDER of the prohibition enforcement bureau conferred with Mr. Orbison of the Dear Jerry dispensing bureau yesterday. Since the Times exposed the Orbison method of obtaining whisky no more orders for “office use’’ have been filled by the chief of police, however. Why Worry About Orbison? The FC Wayne Journal-Gazette, which recently sought blindly to inform its readers that C. J. Orbison had a legal right to give otit whisky for "office use,” investigatiaon use and “sterilizing instruments,” has changed its course sufficiently to concede that perhaps Mr. Orbison might have been hasty. It says: “Our esteemed contemporary, the Indianapolis Times, has quite convinced itself that the Journal-Gazette must be the “organ of the liquor interests,” because of its unwillingnes to believe that Judge Orbison is as bad as he has been painted by some who are insisting that he has violated his oath of office in connection with his duties as prohibition director for Indiana. This conclusion is based upon our suggestion that the investigation asked by Judge Orbison should porceed. The prohibition director’s previous to his appointment to the post he now holds, has always been, as far as we know, that of a high-minded and conscientious gentleman. It does not necessarily follow that he not abused hvb office. If he has there Is a way to reach it. It can be reached through such proceedings as he proposes, or by formally making the charges to the proper authorities in Washington. Our last information Is no such charges have yet been made.” Now, if the Journal-Gazette will kindly concede that Mr. Orbison himself publicly admitted that he had no right to dispense this liquor; that his grand stand play for a Federal grand jury investigation was not made until after he was Informed that the district attorney had been supplied with the facts in the matter and requested to lay them before the grand jury and that Orbison attempted by a partial report of his activities to oh- ; tain a whitewash from Washington, it will have gone far toward refuting the general belief that its ownership prompts extraordinary consideration for those who traffic \in liquor. The Times has entirely too much faith in the eventual triumph of justice to be disturbed at the seeming reluctance of the prohibition commissioner at Washington to disturb Mr. Orbison in his amusing spectacle of balancing himself on a pedestal. There is no justification for the belief that the Federal grand Jury will overlook more than 225 violations oT the Volstead act by Mr. Orbison merely because he is fortunate enough to have powerful friends seeking to protect him. In the meanwhile, the confiscated whisky which Mr. Orbison was so generously parceling out to his friends has been sufficiently impounded to reduce the number of booze parties in Indianapolis to some extent. What happens to Orbison as a result of his betrayal of the public trust is not of much importance. The public now knows just what kind of an official he is and it hi 3 obtained a fairly good fdea of the kind of friends he keeps.

Our Busy City Sanitarian In its haste to bring to attention the few days on which the public has not been "admonished,” or “warned” or “advised” of one of the fiftyseven different varieties of calamities over which Doc Morgan presides the Times yesterday committed an egrfcgious error. It said that three days had passed without Doc Morgan having issued a single warning. Specifically, only two and one-half days elapsed, for ere the sun went down yesterday the valiant doctor was into print with an exposition on the horrible evils of expectorating. publicity effort on the part of the busy city sanitarian. ' When he is not dictating an “appeal to the public” or a “call to attention” he can nearly always be found "planning a campaign” or "completing a survey.” All of which may or may not contribute to the public health. It certainly does serve to drive away the glooms and perhaps, on that basis, it is worth all it costs the taxpayers. Pigs That Grow Not Anew form of graft developed in Boston recently when it was discovered that little pigs were being substituted for large ones atrthe municipal piggery. The reports showed the correct number of pigs, but they continued in eternal youth and are never ready for market. This causes a smile out West, so far from the culture of Boston, for there is not a boy on a farm in Indiana but would have detected the change in two weeks’ time. Indeed, in this part of the country, where pork raising has developed into almost an art, such a condition would have been impossible, for it would have been at once detected. Human nature in the city of Boston is just about the same as in Indiana. Here, instead of changing pigs, we pay internal and other Federal taxes to enforce prohibition, then permit the officer who is paid to enforce the law, to dispense it to his friends on the Dear Jerry plan. In Boston the favorite got a pig, fattened at the cost of the public. Here, the favorite can get liquor when he sees the proper officer, while the average man must go without. The granting of such special privileges to favorites, however, does not set well with the public in the long run. Gresham's Sacrifice The body of James B. Gresham, one of the first three American soldiers to die in the World War, is tt> be brought back and buried at Evansville. This is in line with the general policy of the Government and many more will also be returned to their native land. Gresham was a private, killed in a raid by the Germans in November, 1917. The French a monument over his grave in France, along with the other two Americans killed in the same raid. When the news of Graham's death reached America, it was thought that he, as a hero, belonged to the world, as he was America's first lost. Then he became one of many, dedicated in the name of liberty and democracy to France. Now his home town claims his body and soon his mother will at least have the satisfaction of being near his grave. Such is the human side of being a hero. If one is to be a dead hero, perhaps the best place for it is in his home town. One would rather be appreciated by his own kith and kin than elsewhere. Although a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, it does seem to detract when his body is returned from the country for which he fought. He seems to become a local hero rather than to remain the national one which the sacrifice of his life made him. \

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial pf Young Married Life

CHAPTER CXXIX (Continped). I hurried out to the living room to wake Jim with a kiss. I had begun to understand what a nervous strain he’d been undergoing for days. Those two hours of whirling along at top speed and alternating between hope and fear that my dress would come out right, were about one per cent of what Jim had been going through while chasing Fortune's car—wondering If his big deal would end in ruin or success. And all Jim's ugUness to me could be explained In term! of his sudden nervous let-down when the hours of waiting were overdrowned with success. So all malice —all snger and all hurt were wiped from my memory when 1 went out to wake Jim, and ask him to add the finishing- touch of a friendly pin or two to my costume. “Wake up, Mr, de Milllona, and play lady’s maid to your wife,” said 1. “Franehette, the real maid, la getting out my ermine coat and furs.” I had no more than said the words when I longed to recall them. I could anticipate Jim's reply, “Cut out the would-be hmnor, Anaa.” Jim rose, stretched bis arms above his head and turned lazily to Inspect me. My heart gave a hop-skip-and-Jump. How handsome he was as be stood there with his white shirt-sleeved arms stretched above bis dark head! Why must we quarrel and hurt each other and drift apart on the tide of our angry. Irritated words? I loved my boy—he had once adored me. Why couldn't we learn to accept each other ami adjust ourselves to the daily task of living together? At the thought of all wa had lost I sank down In a chair and shut my hands over my face. I wanted to conjure back the poverty in which we had been so rich. Suddenly Jim's right arm went about my shaking shoulders, and his left hand

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory-

Now In the last story yon remember the little Dwarf told Puss Junior, who i bad been changed Into a horse, and the little White Snake, who had been changed into a bird, you kuow, to hunt for a blue pond lily which bad the magic power to change them both back again iuto their natural shapes. 'So off they went, and by snd by, after they had followed the brook for a mile or more.ethey came to a pond that was covered with lilies. But oh,, dear me! Although they looked and looked for a long, long time they couldn't find one that was blue. And at last Puss said to the little White Snake, "I’m afraid the little Dwarf has made a mistake. Thera Is no blue pond Illy.” “Oh, yes there Is,” cried a tiny voice, and right there In a little boat near one of the big pond lilies sat a little fairy. “Please show us where it Is,” begged Puss. “I am 6o tired of being a horse and my little friend the White Snake doesn't want to be a bird.” “Patience,” said the little fairy. And then sba pointed with her wand to a pond Illy that grew close to the shore. And would you believe It! That pond lily turned as blue as the sky. So Puss pulled it oil its s'etn and rubbed It on the tip of his nose, aud immediately ha changed Into his natural shape. And then he rubbed it on the tip of bis little friend's nose, and she changed once more Into a snake. And then they wore so glad that they said to the little fairy, "What can we do for yon?” And she replied, “If you will come and Uve with me, little White Snake, you shall hava a pond lily pal. ace.” So the little White Snake said she

I nestled close against him —what peace. “Poor little tired girl,” he said, tenderly. “How those clever fingers must have flown 1 You’re beautiful, dear, beautiful! I'm proud of you, my clever little Lilac Princess.” I leaned against my Jim's heart—happy! I wanted to sob, I wanted ta laugh. And a little of both got Into ny voice 'a* I whispered; “How rich we are, dear—how very rich —we have each other.” Jim's fingers slid up under my hair and lay, electric and vibrating against my forehead for a second.

Tom’s face will be worth watching when he sees his blue robe defeated again.” A little steel band tightened around my heart. At such a moment as this, why must Jim bring up Tom Mason. Would I never be rid the man? Must I always be pursued by his' blue robe? —Copyright, 192 L (To Be Continued.) CHRIST IN PROFANE HISTORY. Q. Are there references to the fact that Jesus Christ lived and was crucified in profane literature? H. B. C. A. Among the historical references to Jesus Christ which are undisputed, is that made by Tacitus, the Roman historian, who on speaking of the Christians, said: '“The originator of that name had been executed In the reign of Tiberius, by order of the administrator, Pontius Pilate.” This may bo found in the Annals of Terevat. Reference to Christ Is also made In the “Antiquities of Josephus,” a Jewish historian, who was contemporary with Christ, but this passage Is declared by some to be a forgery.

would, and after saying goodby to Puss she crawled Into the fairy’s bo.it ana sailed away, and Puss went off again on his Journey of adventure. “Holgh-ho,” he said to himself. “I find s new friend every day. They travel with me for a little while, and then they go away.” And then h< began to whistle, for he felt Just the least little bit lonely, for one likes to have a comrade on a Journey, you know. And while he was whistling; “Over the hills and far away I make my Journey day by day. Sometimes a giant big and tall I meet outside his castle wall. Sometimes a fairy in the glen, Sometimes a gnome with his little men. But of all the friends that hai* coiuo to hand I love those best In Mother Goose Land.” And no sooner had he finished his song than Old Mother Goose herself appeared on her Gander. "Come, llttje Puss Junior" she said, “climb up behind me and 1 will take you back to the dear old country of Mother Goose.” And it didn't take Puss long to get on the Gander’s back, let me tell you. And then sway they flew until It was night time “Go to sleep," said Mother Goose. "Yoii ■won't fall off.” And then the Twinkle, Twinkle Star commenced to sing: •Rock-a-by, rock a-by, sleep till the dawn, When the red and green rooster will blow on his horn.” And next time you shall hear what Puss did when he woke up.—Copyright 1921. ’I (To Be Continued.)
