HARDING PLAN FOR SEPARATE PEACE SCORED Indiana Democratic Club Raps Proposal as Presented by President. YOUNG MEN IN CHARGE Branding It as a “disgraceful proposal" the Indiana Democratic Club, at a meeting last night commemorating the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, adopted a resolution denouncing President Harding’s recommendation of a separate peace with Germany. A telegram in token of love, confidence, loyalty and esteem was sent to Woodrow Wilson. Those in charge of the Americanization meeting in the Gipsy Smith tabernacle two weeks ago were scored for their fun-Amerlean" failure to Include any Democratic speaker Ah the program or to mention the name of Woodrow Wilson once. The younger members of the club were In charge of last night's meeting, Mark Archer being chairman and Waiter Myers. Albert Stump, Russell Ryan. Brans Woollen, Jr., and George A. Bittler being the younger speakers. Others who talked were Woodburn Masson and Frank Baker, president of the club. RESORPTION ON' HARDING PROPOSAL. The resolution upon President Harding’s proposal is as follows: "Whereas. Our country under the leadership of the greatest of all Americans, Woodrow Wilson, entered the World War with high alms and purposes and made untold sacrifices, giving of her resources, her wealth, her blood and her thousands of lives, therefore be It “Resolved, by the Indiana Democratic Club, That we denounce the proposal of President Harding of a separate peace with Germany us a betrayal o' those who offered their lives In their country's defense, and “Resolved, That we call upon ail patriotic citizens to speak out against this disgraceful proposal and thHt we call upon the Democratic Senators to use every means to defeat it." The telegram to Mr. Wilson also expressed the hope that world peace will be established through a League of Nations as planned by Mr. Wilson. RAPS DISPLAY OF PARTISANSHIP. Mr. Archer In opening spoke of the recent Americanization meeting. “This is a Jeffersonian meeting, which In itself makes it an Americanization meeting,” he said. ' However, It is not like the one held two weeks ago tonight, when this meeting was to have been held, but was postponed to make way for it. That was a meeting so Republican and so narrow that not even a Democrat could be placed on the program and the speakers were so narrow that they could not even mention the name of Woodrow |Wilson. the man for whom they once all shouted. An Americanization meeting without mentioning the name of Woodrow Wilson in connection with the great world war is like a Gipsy Smith meeting without the name of God being mentioned.’ The younger speakers were introduced as having been volunteers in the world war and members of the American Legion. Each has chosen the Democratic party, he said, because it fights in peace for the same principles, for which they strove in war. COMPARES WILSON AND JEI PERSON'. Wilson's vision of the union of nations was based on the same principles as was Jefferson's dream of a union of states, declared Walter Myers in com- j paring the two great Democrats, Je*ferson, he said, loved the common people because he was of them and w ished them to rule the country. Jefferson had confidence in the people to do the right thing and the Democratic party was founded with this In mind, he said. There was* no red tape about Jefferson’s idea of government. It was a simple one which every one could understand, said Russel; Ryan. “He knew that he could trust the people to do what was right and that was ’why he was willing to place the government In their hands," he said. “Young men should select the Democratic party because In It the people come first and party interests last." He pratsed Jefferson for his far-sight-edness. Albert Stump nrged Democrats to come to life and get Into the present campaign with the vigor which betokens belief in what one is doing. ’MUST EMULATE JEFFERSOX’—BR YAN MIAMI, Fla., April 13.—William Jennings Bryan, three times candidate for the presidency, declared here today that a return to the principles of Thomas Jefferson is the Democratic party's only hope of restoration to power. The statement was Issued In commemoration of Jefferson's birthday. "Jefferson,” said Mr. Bryan’s statement, “believed in a government ’which •hall restrain men from injuring one another and shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and Improvement.’ The two parts of this sentence balance one another. Some .have put emphasis on the words ‘leave them otherwise free’ and ignored the first part of the sentence “The words ‘otherwise free’ are not intended to suspend or weaken the demand that the government I'shall restrain men from Injuring lene another.’ It is necessary to ■eetraln big corporations—man-made kiacts—from injuring God-made men, Knd there is no occasion to discuss otherwise free’ until this restraint is SIMe effective. Prohibition is intended men from injuring one Hkr’ and no one has a right to quote *t • - 'Uson in support of a policy which would leave liquor dealers free to lne their fellows. • believed in economy In pubic expenditures and in equal and exact Instice to aIL Democracy must brieve in the same today if it is to live jp to its name and be worthy of conIdence. “Jefferson believed in peace with commerce and honest friendship with all nation*, entangling alliances with none.’ We need his spirit today. “Jefferson has been dead nearly a century, but his political code Is the only basis upon which a Democratic party can stand today, and the applying of bis Ideas to pending problems Offers the Democratic party its only hope lof restoration to power.” |ivof gallanF, but ft HE SAID IT ABOUT , SHIMMY DANCER Waurice Mouuet, Corespond - I ent, Wishes Prettier Girl | Than ‘Peggy’ Hopkins. ■TAXIS, April IS—lt wasn’t very Hjlaut. but It's what Maurice Monvet, famed dancer, said when informed that he Is named as a co-respond-D.

Judge Refuses to Hold Ouija Guilty in a Slander Suit JOLIET, HI., April 13.—The ouija board can say anything it likes about you and you have no legal “comeback.” This is the effect of a decision of Judge De Seim in the Circuit Court here, who ruled that the ouija has no standing in law. Mrs. Frank Walters sued Mrs. Albert Yost for SIO,OOO, claiming that Mrs. Y’ost's ouija had slandered her by accusing her of robbing the Yost pantry of various edibles. Judge De Seim ruled that Mrs, Yost could not be held responsible for what her ouija said.

Really, 1 can’t understand why he should name me In his divorce suit." Peggy Hopkins was frequently seen at variouse dancing clubs in company with Henry Letellier, former editor of La Journal, who Is also mentioned by Joyce as a co-respondent. Generally there also were two or three younger mala dancers with them, Letellier buying wine for the “bunch” at sls per bottle. Feggy, who created sensation after sensation with her daring gowns, usually of the supar-decollette type, was often called the best shimmy dancer in Paris. At the Clover Club one night she created a scene when, refusing to dance with an Englishman Introduced to her by the editor, she exclaimed: “I loathe Englishmen; I only admire Americans and Frenchmen.” Until she returned from Biarritz she wore a $15,000 necklace. After that It was not seen again. 'PUSSYFOOT 9 SAYS BOOZE QUESTION BACK OF STRIKE Johnson Leaves for England With Prediction of a ‘Drif World. WESTERVILLE, Ohio, April 13 “They spent all their money for booze, and now they are hollering for something to eat." William “Pussyfoot” Johnson, American prohibition advocate, gave this explanation today to the cause of the general labor strike called in England. "The drink question Is back of It,” he charged. “With but few exceptions leaders of British labor are dry. while spots In the rank and file are wet and beyond control of their officers." Johnson, whose vision was Impaired In a London riot n year ago. Is going to use his other eye. Undaunted by his physical sufferings and the hostile demonstration in Windsor, Canada, Monday night, he left here today for nnotbpr campaign to dry up England. He will sail from New York Saturday on the first leg of an eight months’ world tour. “I'm not going to die until the whole world Is dry," said Johnson with a ponfident smi’e. as he forecast prohlbitlou success during the coming year In England, Ireland, Wales. New Zealand and India. He nIBO expressed pleasure with prohibition conditions In the United States, although admitting bootlegging was a thriving bnslnesa. The coming general elections In England Will give the drys a telling victory, ha said. “The dry* will go after the Individual members of Parliament In the coming elections and the chances are favorable for a pretty dry Parliament that will give the people the right to vote on the question." he concluded.

HARDING SEEKS VIEWS OF HIS ‘PEACE FEELER’ Will Make Decision on Sentiment Toward Versailles Treaty, Sans Covenant. WON’T OPPOSE SENATE WASHINGTON, April 13.—President Harding is watching today for the reaction to the “feeler" put out in his message to Congress before deciding whether to seek ratification of the Versailles treaty minus the League of Nations covenant. Word came today from a well-informed quarter that if this reaction is favorable Harding has in mind sending the Versailles treaty back to the Senate to ask ratification with reservations which would eliminate the league covenant so far as the United States Is concerned aud would otherwise protect American Interests along the lines laid down in the Lodge reservations. Harding is said to believe that ratification of the Versailles treaty thus modified offers the only way In which the United States can permanently end Its peculiar relationship to the allies and the central powers. He views the resolution declaring a state of peace with Germany as a more or less temporary expedient. But whatever his own views, Harding is unlikely to take action which does not promise to be supported by the Senate. If members of that body show an Irreconcilable antagonism In the treaty, even with the covenant deleted, Ilarding probably will abandon further thought of securing ratification. The sections of >■*- message which Indicated the ..ossibllity of thus ratifying the treaty were the result of long and earnest discussion with Secretary Hughes, who has already experienced first-hand the practical difficulties arising out of failure to Join In the pact of Versailles. Hughes, who Is understood to have support of Secretary Hoover, opposes complete rejection of the Versailles treaty. Two of the principal reasons said to have been advanced against rejection are: That the United States must partlelpa’e actively In the settlement of German reparations, a question which is preventing the world resuming !ts normal course economically. That participation in the Versailles treaty is the wny to secure complete protection of American rights and Interests In questions growing out of the war; that these interests are confirmed by the treaty and that it Is unwise to relinquish this confirmation.

The Truth About Indianapolis

PUMPS PUMPS, with a combined weight of 1,500 tons, were ms-aufarfured in Indianapolis last y&ar. -"Vertical and horizontal reciprocating pumps, with capacity ranging from 10 gallons a minute to 8,000 gallons a minute, form the bulk of pump manufacturing in Indianapolis. Pumps for compressing equipment and filling of automobile tires are also manufactured in this city. Tourists who ride to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire quench their thirst with water pumped by Indianapolis-made pumps 3,725 feet below in the valley—these pumps forcing the water through a three-mile-long pipe against a 2,250 pounds pressure per square inch. Indian-apolis-made pumps in the vessels manufactured by the Emergency Fleet Corporation at Hog Island during the war sail around the world. Water supplies for industrial plants, institutions and homes in all parts of the United States are pumped by these Hoosier pumps.
