Advertising offices jj,- ew y o rk, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. The Real Primary Question To just what extent the Republicans of Indianapolis are being helped n the selection of a candidate for mayor by brilliant schoolboy compositions with the circus as the subject and rancor as a theme is probably as much of a mystery to Mr. Thomas C. Howe as it is to the public. But year after year, campaign after campaign, this community has been compelled to listen to this propaganda and as long as a few unthinking citizens chuckle at it, there will be more forthcoming. It matters no*t that there are real issues to be settled in the campaign. It matters not that there are citizens in the Republican party honestly striving to exercise their franchise in the best interests of the community. The all-important thing, in the minds of these propagandists, is the exercise of their alleged ability to ridicule in a strenuous effort to befog the voters and nominate a personal favorite. There are three active candidates for the Republican nomination "or mayor. Two of them entered the race on their own responsibility, and are offering individual platforms in the hopes that they will meet the approval of a majority of their fellow citizens. The third candidate was brought into the race at a closed-door meeting of the leaders of the present administration and a few politicians who believed themselves capable of selecting a nominee for the rest of the Republican party. The followers of this candidate are doing his thinking for him, formulating his speeches, running his organization. And they undoubtedly expect to conduct his administration for him in the remote event of his election. The big question before the Republican voters of Indianapolis today is not whether Mr. Thomas C. Howe is nominated for mayor, or whether Samuel Lewis Shank or Edward J- Robison is nominated. It is whether or not a little coterie of selfish politicians, intent on perpetuating their hold on the government of the municipality, will be permitted to cram down the throats of the Republican voters of Indianapolis a candidate whom they do not know, whom they did not select as their standard bearer and for whom they cannot possibly show any enthusiasm. To accept this candidate is to be a “good fellow” today and a dupe cf the machine tomorrow. To elect him mayor of Indianapolis is to indorse the administration of Charles W. Jewett with its Rufe Pages and its Arch Youngs and its $2,000,000 annual increase In city expenses. For Thomas C. Howe and Mayor Charles W. Jewett are alike as two peas in this respect—both jump at the crack of whip colled in the office of a newspaper that for more than eight years deceived the community, and the Government, as to its ownership and management Why This Hypocrisy? Citizens of Indianapolis who really have the welfare of the community at heart cannot help being more or less disgusted with the manner in which the Republican candidates for the mayoralty nomination are competing with each other for the twenty thousand negro votes that will be cast in the primary. Ed J. Robison first staged a meeting in the black belt which appears to have aroused his rivals to a desire to eclipse his showing. Samuel L. Shank arranged a similar meeting and planned to outdo Robison. Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, allowed his candidacy to.be the cloak under which the present city administration attempted to break up the Shank meeting. Mayor Charles W. Jewett takes advantage of the confusion to make a speech to the negroes in which he is quoted as assuring them there will never be any segregation in Indianapolis while he is mayor and practically inviting them to mingle with the white race in its amusements and recreations. What effect, other than one which is wholly bad, can this “solicitude" for the negro, preliminary to a primary, have in the period thereafter when the insincerity of it becomes apparent? What right has Mayor Jewett, or any of the candidates to enter the black belt and seek to convince negro voters that they are as welcome in all phases of our daily life as white voters? Why this deceit and hypocrisy? Must a citizen of Indianapolis, in order to be nominated for the office of mayor stultify himself in the eyes of the community, subscribe to a doctrine that no one believes and resort to bald faced falsehoods? There isn't a negro of any intelligence in the city of Indianapolis who does not know that the “love” for him expressed on the avenue at a political meeting is reserved for that occasion only and will never be found in the councils of any city administration. Only the most ignorant of the negro voters expects or really wants the privileges of mingling with his white neighbors so for him by the mayor. How can any one expect good government to be builded on such a platform of falsehoods and deceptions?

Gov . McCray’s Troubles Warren T. McCray is having his troubles in being Governor of Indiana. In more than three months of his administration he has not been able to surround himself with executives who either reflect his promises or his ambitions in the execution of the affairs of the State. In fact, he has not yet succeeded in getting rid of these incompetents and worse who were bequeathed to him by James P. Goodri- h when Goodrich closed what is rapidly proving to have been the most deplorable administration of Indiana affairs in its history. Day after day the sins of omission and commission of the Goodrich administration are coming to the front, despite the desperate efforts of those members of it who still sit in high estate in the seat of government. It would be unfair at thi3 time to attempt to place responsibility for administration errors on the shoulders of the Governor who appears to be honestly striving to meet the vast demands made upon him by both the affairs of the State and the affairs of the Republican party. But it is not too early to discern that the measure of success of the McCray administration will depend in no small degree upon the alacrity with which he eliminates the Goodrich organization and establishes in its place a McCray organization willing to help him conduct the affairs of Indiana in the interest of his own good record. Only a few days ago, in a public place, ex-Govemor Goodrich made the prediction that Governor McCray’s record for paroles and pardons of convicts woqld be “worse than the critics ever said mine was. - ’ Shortly thereafter it is discovered that Dennis J. Bush, a convict with absolutely no claim to freedom, had been released through what is termed a “clerical” mistake, committed by a clerk who served in the Goodrich administration and was close enough to Goodrich to be the recipient of stock in one of the Goodrich coal properties. There is, of course, no substantial grounds on which to base the charge that the remark of Goodrich and the "mistake” of the clerk have any connection. But it is evident that Governor McCray will not escape being the victim of such “mistakes” as long as the influence of his predecessor continues in his administration. Riley Changes Bosses Thomas A. Riley, the foremost exponent of that group of politicians of Indianapolis who would rather place themselves in a position to accept minority plums than to fight a political battle for control of the government, has again been rewarded with a political office. This time he is the recipient of an appointment at the hands of Governor McCray, and will succeed Edgar E. Perkins as a member of the State industrial board. Whatever may be said of the appointment of Riley, it cannot be truthfully asserted that he was selected as representative of the Democrats of Indianapolis. V The -willing tool of the News-Jewett bipartisan machine w hich he has served ever since helping Jewett out of the entanglements of the last primary, he is representative of that class of men who, for the privilege of | holding minority jobs, have done more to make the Democratic party a minority party than any other group. It is not strange that he should be selected as a "Democratic” member of a bipartisan board. He is pliant enough to serae the purposes of political masters and possesses sufficient effrontery to be impervious to public estimate of his bipartisan character. \

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life "By Ann Lisle

CHAPTER CXCIII. The days following V v alerie Cosby’s dance were full to overflowing with innumerable tiresome necessities. There were fittings galore at Wtckman’a, where 1 had selected a gown <of black lace and jet chains built over a foundation of black Satin. I wanted a smoke-colored Chiffon draped over flame, but Virginia insisted that the Chantilly lace and Jet was much smarter. As it cost a full hundred dollars more, I concluded that Jim would like better to see his wife swathed in it, and so I permitted Virginia to persuade me. The Egyptian green enamel and striped green and gold brocade of our living room were Virginia’s choice, too. The silver wicker and blue chintz I fairly longed for wouldn't advertise Jim's riches at all. So since what a Harrison selected, a Harrison would probably approve, I left every decision about my homo to Virginia. But when, on Wednesday afternoon, I insisted that she also choose the menu for our (tinner at llornay’s the next night, Virginia was moved to protest: ’’Anne, I wish you'd show a little more interest." You actually treat your new home and your new gown—as if they were mine. And now your dinner!” “You’ve better taste than I, Jeanie," I confessed. "And besides, your taste is more lika Jim's.” "So that’s it—trying to please Jimmie 1” Virginia studied me shrewdly. “Nothing could be wiser, Anne * • * Unless you could do that wonderful thing, compromise—blend your tastes—and teach Jimmie to like what you like too * * • That would be an idea.” “Too good to be true—eh, Jeanie?” “I found it so,” replied Virginia dryly. But even in this casual and curt reference to her marriage, I felt a certain satisfaction “We’ll have tea at Mornay’s, then.” re. Burned Virginia, “apd while we sit there quietly I’ll call Marcel and we’ll go over the dinner with him. He’s the prince of head waiters.” “Won't we have to fee him—a lot?” I asked in a panic, for as usual, I had only about s.l in my purse. "For twelve people? Oh, at least $20,” replied Virginia carelessly. Suddenly I found myself a bit callous. I didn’t mind borrowing money from Virginia now, or having her realize I was short of actual cash. Now that Jim really had money, there seemed no need for protecting his pride.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

Marketing and shopping was becoming less of a strain than it had bren for a long time to Mrs. Hooper. When site started out after luneneon to make her purchases for the week Itt was with a feeling of certainty that she would be able to buy much more for her money than had been possible for a very long time. Especially was thi3 true of butter and eggs, which seemed at last to be coining within the reach of the family of moderate income, so that these very es sentlal food products could once more be utilized in the preparation of dishes that not only give variety to the menu but add to the nourishing quality of every meal. All farm produce premia s to be. lower than at any time since 1014 and Mrs. Hooper is looking forward to putting her family back on its old-time diet of fruit and vegetabl s. of which they had been deprived for so long because of the very high prices. Henry and Roger would of course cultivate the back yard garden and already, because of the mildness of the spring, had assembled their tools to begin work at the very first opportunity so that they would liavo their own lettuce and radishes very e*rlr. It had also been a long time since the family had enjoyed a baked ham and Mrs. Hooper decided to keep her meat bill for the week down as low ns possible and then buy a ten-pound ham, half of which

Write your questions plainly and briefly. Give full name and a idress and enclose 2 cents in stamps for return postage. Ail replies are sent direct to the Inquirer.) MAJORITY AND PLURALITY. Q. What is tho difference between a majoritj' nnd a plurality? C. M. A A majority m.-ans more than half of a given number, Vs of votes, for in stance. In a political sense, a candidate who gets a plurality receives more votes than any one of his opponents, but not more than all of them together. PETRIFIED FORESTS. Q. If there is such a thing as a petrified forest, where is it? A. There are fossil or petrified forests in Arizona, Yellowstone Park, along the shore of Chesapeake Bay south of Baltimore, Md., and in the Bad Lands of the Little Missouri. These forests • aro groups of petrified tree trunks. In England in 1844. large quantities of fossil trees were found near Wolverhampton. In the West Indies, Silesia, Egypt and on tho Island of Ontlgua ace also to be found fossil forests. FATHER OF HISTORY. Q. Why was Herodotus called the Father of History? I. M. 11. A. Herodotus is deemed by scholars to be the earliest and best of the Roman historians. It is probable that before his day there was no writing in Greece that could he called historical. Because of being the “first in the field,” as it were, Herodotus has been called the Father of Roman History. GAMES NOT COPYRIGHTED. Q. Can a game of cards be copyrighted? M. T. 11. A. The Copyright Oflloe says that a game is not copyrightable. It would be necessary to get" a patent to protect a game. The book of rules for playing the game would be a subject of copyright. If the cards contain a considerable quantity of text (reading) matter, It might be covered by copyright, but that would not keep any one from making a similar game. Y'ou might get a design at the ~'utent Office fur the ornamental hack of the cards. A label for a box containing the cards could also he registered at the Patent Office. GERARD. THE LION HUNTER. Q. How many lions and tigers did Jules Gerard kill? What, kind of gun did he use and was he killed by an animal? L. G. A. The biography of Jules Gerard, the lion hunter, does not state suecifically how many animals he killed during his life time. He was in the habit of using a double-barrel rifle. Gerard waa not

“The tea's my party,” I said, “and I'd like to make a good enough impression on Marcel so thaf he'll be'nice to me if ever I come here alone. Suppose you leu4i me the twenty.” “Os course,” replied Virginia, and after a minute she added: “I’m glad you are getting sensible, Anne.” So wo had our tea, ordered our dinner for the next evening, made our impression on Marcel for all time, and then strolled down the avenue. Ahead of us hurried a rather furtive young man, with his shoulders hunched and his fists jammed into the pockets of a shabby army overcoat. I kept getting fleeting glimpses of him through the crowd, and somehow he made me uneasy. Then a gust of wind lifted his hat—a civilian article, like his suit—and 1 saw red curls. Neal! This soldier, walking alone in evident unemployment and deep discouragement, was my brother. And I had just given the head waiter at Mornay's a twenty dollar bill. “Hurry—hurry, Virginia. It's Neal. I must catch up with him,” I threw- over my shoulder as I dashed ahead, hardly waiting to see whether or no Virginia “hurried.” Then I fairly ran down the avennn. But people blocked me off until the figure vanished into an office building. 1 rushed into the building and stared resentfully at the ascending elevators and the starter. Then down the long corridor swung I’at Dalton. At sight of me he swept off his hat and threw back his grayhead with the old proud gesture. “My brother, Neal—have you seen him?” i cried. But now Pat was staring over my head and I doubted if he had heard me. 1 turned and there In the entrance way stood Virginia. A moment and she was gone. “Jeanie—she's waiting for you?’’ he asked. “No—she won’t wait now. I’m going to wait here for my brother,“l replied. "Don’t hurt Jeanie. She'll think perhaps you’re with me. There is another corridor. Two other seta of elevators I'll wait here for your brother. I won’t let him get away. Don't hurt Jennie,” begged j Pat disjointedly. [ And so I hurried down the avenue after Jeanie—giving I’at full directions as to where Neal could reach me all during that evening.—Copyright. 1921. (To Be Continued.)

Sheriff Snider stated today that Miss Welty, who has been in jail here since her dream of making “millions” In oil field deals exploded, received a telegram from an unknown party at Tulsa. Okla., asking her if she wanted Campbell to come to Indianapolis and “help her.” The sheriff stuted that he also received a similar telegram, but so far authorities at Tulsa have been unable to locate Campbell. Special Investigator Claude Worley for the Criminal Court Is of the opinion that these telegrams are mere "decoys.” Others have hinted that the telegrams sent to Miss Welty might be in the nature of a code known only to her and the sender. In the meantime, Miss Welty remains in Jail because she has failed to give bond in the sum of (2,000.

WILSON SHOWS GREAT ABILITY AS STRATEGIST (Continued From rage One.) would under the command of their own officers. But this determination on the President's part to keep the American forces independent neither prevented the use of American troops in the brigades of British and French armies during the days while our strength was assembling, not the strong urging of America to give the independent armies of the allied and associated powers the unified command which was essential to their effective cooperation and co-ordination. PUT FOCH AT HEAD. As soon as our strength in France had reached proportions which the President felt gave us just right to speak, he joined with Lloyd George In putting through the plan to make General Foch the head of the allied and associated armies. The President followed the development of the military and naval strategy of the contending nations with keenest j and most critical interest before- we i entajfed the war. | I recall his saying to me on one occa- ! slon : ! “Daniels, why don't the British con- ; voy their merchant ships, and thus pro- | tcet them from the submarines?” 1 He came back to this question freqnent- ! l.v. He could not. see the wisdom of the British plan of dispersion, although there were some able American officers who approved It. To him it seemed a false strategy. •This opinion became a conviction with him as the sinkings continued and the situation grew daily more serffbis. insists on CONVOY SYSTEM. “This theory of reducing the danger by sailing ships separately has been demonstrated to bo ’wroug." he would say. liy, now, with their distressing experience, do they hesitate to adopt the convoy system?” Finally the convoy system was adopted. It took the expeditionary force to France without the loss of a man on an American transport through enemy action. It justified in the eyes of the naval authorities of three great nations the wisdom of the scholarly Idealist, whose genius for practical suggestion never ceased to be a cause for wonder and admiration on the part of those who were closely associated with him. His brilliant mind gave further evidence of its gift for strategy in his contention from the day we entered the war that the only way to beat the U-boat warfare of Germany was to bar the 1 boats from access to waters traversed by allied shipping. m illing to take risk. He was willing to run tremendous risks and to suffer heavy losses If there were a possibility of destroying the U-boats nests. Speaking to the officers and crew of the Pennsylvania, he said: "We are hunting hornets nil over the farm and letting the nest nlone. None of us know how to go to the nest and crush It, and yet I despair of hunting for hornets ail over tho sea when I know where tho nest It. and I know that the nest is breeding hornets as fast as 1 can find them. I am willing, for iny part, uud I know you are willing, for I know* the stuff you are made of—l am willing to sacrifice half the navy Great Britain and we together have to crush the nest, because If we crush it the war Is won.” Tho British admiralty, however, was inclined to be ex-eedingly cautious, ana the President's proposals failed to evoke the response he had reason to hope for, "Every time wo have suggested anything to the British admiralty,” he said, - talking on the deck of the Pennsylvania In the summer of I!H7, "the reply has come back that virtually amounts to this: That it had never been done in that way. ,1 felt like saying, ‘Well, nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing Is being done now.’ Therefore I should like to see something unusual happen, something that never has been done before. There is no other way to win.” NAVAL OFFICERS ASKED fR SUGGESTIONS. It was on this occasion that be invited f the youngest as well as the oldest officers In the Navq to suggest to him possible ways of doing the big and boia and unprecedented thing that might bring victory. "1 am not saying,” he declared, “that I do not expect the admirals to tell us what to do, but T am saying that I want the youngest and most modest youngster in the service to tell us what we ought to do, if he knows what it Is. "Please leave out of your vocabulary the word ’prudent’,” be said to the naval officers. “Do not stop to think about what is prudent for a moment. Do the thing that is audacious to the utmost point of risk and daring, because that Is exactly what the other side does not understand." The President had sized up correctly the enemy mind—rigid, conventional, regimented. In order to surpriso and bewilder him It was necessary only to do the thing that was daringly irregular, contrary to established rules, MAYO SENT TO El KOBE. Soon Hfter the President made his hornet nest speech. Admiral Mayo, commander ln-chief of nil the vessels afloat on both sides of the Atlantic, was dispatched to Europe with instructions to convince the British admiralty of tho

Accompanied by the leader of their tribe, Chief Bird Rattler, the troupe of Blackfoot Indian's, who will appear in person in conjunction with the pictorial version of “Bob Hampton of Placer,” at the Circle next week, will arrive in Indianapolis late this afternoon from their reservation in Montana. This is the first time that this particular band of Indians has ever left their reservation in Montana. The management of the Circle has made arrangements to give the Indians a rousing welcome, including a reception at the station, an automobile sightseeing tour of the city, stopping at the various points of interest. Chief Bird Rattler is a veteran of innumerable wars, but says that he has never fought against tho whites. The troupe of Indians will include, besides their chief, an interpreter, five Indian braves, a squaw and a papoose. They will be seen at the Circle starting Sunday in a novelty prologue to the motion picture, “Bob Hampton es Placer," In which they atso are seen on the screen. -I- -I- -1THEATER TO ENTERTAIN AT 810 PARTY FRIDAY. Through an arrangement made with Mr. C. O. Wallace, manager of the Indianapolis Exchange of the Famous Players Lasky Corporation, and the management of the Ohio Theater, a private screening will be held at the Ohio Friday morning overshadowing necessity of constructing the North sea barrage. Falling the possibility of persuading the British admiralty to Join in a combined attack upon the hornets' nests, the President proposed the stretching of a s wo that'would catch the hornets before they scattered along the British and French coasts and the lanes of ocean traffic. I have told the story of this remarkable achievement in another of the articles In this scries. The President warmly approved the Navy’s plans for the northern mine barrage, which did so much to shatter the morale of the German navy, whose mutiny marked the beginning of the enemy’s collapse. During the war years the President often came unannounced to the Navy Pepnrtmept to consult, suggest and, I think, frequently with the desire to encourage and stimulate. This latter service was invaluable to us. When he could not coine because of pressure of affairs, he would send us a typewritten query, nr memorandum, hearing the initials, "\V. W.” Those “W. \V.” notes never had a spare word, and they showed the same clearness and vision which John Hay tells us Lincoln had when he would go over to see Stanton in the dark days of the Civil War. SHOWS KEEN NATAL INSTINCT. President Wilson's interest was neither perfunctory nor official. He had the keenest naval Instinct. He was born with it When Thomas Woodrow Wilson was a boy before he dropped the "Thomas" —he chose for himself a naval career. His boyhood was spent on the banks of a river, and he loved boating next to books, or at times even more than books. He had a penchant for sailing; ho loved sea tales and his ambition was to follow Jones and Farragut and Dewey. Thomas Woodrow Wilson’s father, fl scholarly Presbyterian preacher of the old school, vetoed the naval career. When the chance came to go to Annapolis, he said In substance: “No; you are not meant for the sea, my son; letters, books, statemanshlp for yon.” It Is not recorded that Thomas Woodrow replied: “Aye, aye, sir,” with nautical brevity and’ cheerfulness, hut certain it is that he accepted his father's decree. The Navy lost an officer who would have destroyed many precedents and won many victories, xvhon his father snatched him from the topsail and sent him down below to the study of languages and political economy. (Another article by former Secretary Daniels will be printed tomorrow.)

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cor.v.

“How do you like my story?” asked the giant ns ho finished telling Puss Junior about the Fairy of the Spinning Wheel. “Tell me another,” said little Puss, who thought the giant a most obliging sort of person. So the big giant stretched out his right leg, for Puss was sitting on his left knee, you see, and then he lighted his great Immense pipe, and after that he stroked his chin. “I.et me see,” he said, “what shall It be?” And then he looked across the room at the portrait of a handsome prince. “I'll tell you a story about that picture,” he said. “Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess, tout she was very sad, for she had lost her beloved prince. He had been stolen by the fairies, and although she hunted high and low In the forest, she could not find him. At last. In despair, she went to a famous magician, and he agreed to show her a vision of her lost love. “Well, one stormy night as I was sitting in this very room,” said the giant, pausing to blow a great ring of smoke as large as a hoop into the air, “I heard a loud knocking at the door, and when I opened it, there stood the magician and the lovely princess. And, oh dear me! Wasn’t she frightened when she saw me. But the magician told Her to have no fear, and then they eame into this room. “May I hang a picture on your wall. Sir Giant?” raid the magician, and when I told him he might, he took a picture from under his grout, black coat, and then commanding the princess to close her eyes, he hung it over there on the wall. “Open your eyes.” he commanded, and as soon as the princess looked at the picture she saw it was the portrait of her lost prince. “Ah, mel” said the big giant, and he lifted Puss onto his right knee and stretched out hla left leg and blew two

UPPER SILESIA DECISION URGEDj Lloyd George Asks Inter! Allied Commission to Act. LONDON, April 21—Premier Lloyd* George has sent a message to the Britisn high commissioner in Upper Silesia asking why there is such delay in reaching a decision of the Upper Silesian question, it was learned today. The premier’s letter is understood to have an Important bearing on the British policy on the German reparations crisis. The premier pointed out in his letter that the Upper Silesian boundary question is to be decided, under the Versailles treaty, on the basis of the plebiscite returns. He urged that an immediate decision be reached by the inter-allied commission an dthat notification of that decision be forwarded to London wdthin three days. The letter is taken as the first indication of the line that Lloyd George will take at the Hythe conference Saturday, at which the German reparations will be the main subject of discussion. *S Iu official circles here this laconic reply was made in response to inquiries as to the connection between Upper Silesia and the reparations crisis: “The ,Upper Silesian problem Is Inseparable from the Ruhr Valley question.” It is an open secret here that the British Premier is convinced that it would be futile for the allies to take the Ruhr region. He does not believe that the German miners would produce a single ton of coal under French occupation. Lloyd George is expected to play a shrewd and diplomatic game at the Hythe conference. He will, it is believed, use France's well known desire for the annexation of Upper Silesia to Poland as a club to force a compromise, or at least a change in Marshal Foch's aggressive military plans. The premier has observed a significant silence throughout the weeks of general discussion of the French plans toward Germany.
