That Is why we do not maintain them! IP A FEW other citizens of Indianapolis will join Charles A. Bookwaiter In placing decency above politics this community will not again be disgraces by such election fraudsas marked the elevation of Mayor Jewett to office. YES, gentle reader, the Jet Moorman to whom the Howe organ refers is the same J. T. Moorman who participated In the sale of the $15,000 garbage plant to the Jewett administration for $175,000 after testifying that it would cost more than It was worth to Junk It! E. I. LEWIS points to his work as publicity agent for the Chicago convention to refute Lieutenant Governor Branch's statement that he never did anything for the Q. O- P- We always thought he went to Chicago In the Interest of General Wood and the Indianapolis News! MR. HOWE S FRIENDS are running him on his "record” of executive ability as president of Butler College. Arch M. Hall says Howe expended Butler’s endowment funds at the rate of $20,000 a year. The city of Indianapolis has no endowment fund. And there Is a thought for the taxpayer!

Mr. Howe's ‘Record\ Ever since this campaign started Mr. Thomas C. Howe, News-Jewett Candidate, has been asking the people of Indianapolis to examine the "records” of the candidates. ■ * Throughout the whole period Mr- Howe’s friends have been carefully Setting up a “record” for him that was expected to impress the voters with his complete fitness to administer the affairs of the city. Then, along comes Archibald M. Hall, an attorney of high standing in the community, a boyhood friend of Mr. Howe and a fraternity brother, and without rancor or abuse, lays bare the real “record of Mr. Howe. Mr. Hall tells us that the Irvington professor was the pampered favorite if a wealthy man rather than the “struggling youth who overcame adversity” that he ba3 been painted for us. Mr. Hall tells us that Instead of making a brilliant record as the head of Butler College, as has been asserted, Mr. Howe in reality directed the aollege along lines that brought it to the brink of collapse and made necessary his own resignation and strenuous efforts to preserve it as an educational institution. Further, Me. Hall discloses that Mr. Howe was carefully educated at the expense of a wealthy man in the "kulture and efficiency” that we fought a war to eliminate from world affairs. Mr. Hall s picture of the “record” of Mr. Thomas C. Howe Is a strange contrast with the picture painted by Claris Adams. In considering the two pictures the voters, who are the Judges of which is truth and which is fiction must also consider that the Mr. Adams Is the same Adams who compromised Judgments with Pop Leppert, notorious bootlegger; the same Adams whose spineless administration of the office of prosecutor of Marion County made possible fraudulent primaries, stuffing of the jury box and the disgraceful imposition on the sanitary district of a $175,000 debt for a *15,000 garbage plant. I Mr. Hall has given the public a true estimate of the "record” of Mr. Thomas C. Howe, but has any one noticed that the one Indianapolis newspaper that is espousing the professor’s -cause had either the honesty or the courage to allow it readers to read what Mr. Hall says?

A Real Community Chest The community chest drive which is about to be resumed under the direction of Mr. Dreshman deserves not only the earnest consideration but the most vigorous support of the whole community. Fcr the first time in the local history of such movements the directors have placed the cards on the table, told the prospective contributors exactly what it is intended to do with the money solicited and they have thereby removed the only valid reason that existed for failure to support the movement. No one who has been at all cognizant of the unfortunate feeling of distrust that has existed in this community will fail to congratulate the difectors of the community chest on the candor and the good sense that prompted them to make public the exact purposes to which they expect to apply the chest funds previously to asking for them. Heretofore contributor* to the chest have been compelled to rely wholly on faith in its direction. They have had no definite knowledge of the uses it was proposed to make of their money. The Times has not been without faith in the proper distribution of the chest fund by the gentlemen who controlled it- Their standing in the community has always been a sufficient guaranty for us of the proper distribution of the nfbney contributed. But among those thousands of people who have today no adequate knowledge cf the uses made of the war chest funds there were many whose faith in a proper use of community chest money was shaken. To these the publication of the budget of the community chest will not only be Interesting, but it will be conclusive as to the propriety of contributing. Candor in this matter costs nothing, reassures the doubtful and confounds the skeptical. One may now see exactly what will become of every dollar contributed to the community chest And with that knowledge it is indeed difficult to understand how any one can refuse to give to the limit of one’s ability.

Welcome, Mr, Bookwalter It Is with considerable pleasure that we welcome the coming of Charles A. Bookwalter into that unfortunately small camp of Indianapolis citizens who do not fear to express the truth merely because it i3 obnoxious to those who hold the reins of government. None will dispute with Mr. Bookwalter the truth of his statements relative to the primaries and election four years ago. None except those who are interested in the perpetration of similar frauds this year will challenge his fear that the same kind of corruption is planned for this primary and election. " Mr. Bookwalter's story of the fraudulent ballots printed in Chicago and used in Indianapolis, will recall to many the fact that this unscrupulous desecration of our State laws was only made safe by the supine weakness of our prosecutors, one of whom is today rushing from stump to stump delivering a flowery and false laudation of Mr. Thomas C. Howe in a desperate effort to establish a "face" behind which such corruption as prevailed before may be practiced again. J It has been the unpleasant duty of this newspaper in years gone by to tell of the betrayal of public trust by public officials to a community, much of which was too astounded to believe. It is some satisfaction to know that even at this late date such citizens as Mr. Bookwalter are willing to admit that in telling of this corrnption the Indiana Daily Times was telling the truth—truth which the public has the right to expect from a paper that believes decency more to be desired than political power.

Mr, George Lemaiix In the death of George Lemaux, president of the board of works, the city of Indianapolis has lost the man who should by reason of his fitness, have been the successor of Charles W. Jewett as mayor. Mr. Lemaux represented that oft smothered element in the city administration that really stood for the best interests of Indianapolis. He was a fighter for the right, with convictions and courage to own them. Whosoever disagreed with him on questions of public affairs was compelled to concede that Mr. Lemaux was sincere and honest in his stand and that there was no disposition on his part to compromise a principle in orasr to accomplish an object. Naturally, such a man was not always popular with either his administration associates or with all of his constituents. But popular or unpopular, Mr. Lemaux was always standing squarely for what he believed to be the right. And his sincerity made friends for aim who will cherish his memory in the days that .come and regret that he is no longer here to encourage them by his fearlessness and cheer them by his courage.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By Anri Lisle-

CHAPTER CXCIV. When I got back to the Walgrave, I found Jim waiting for me in a mood of the utmost nervousness and Irritability. “Anne, I’ve a telegram here for you—but I’ve more than half a mind not to let you see It,” he began. “From Neal?” I Interrupted eagerly. “Neal? Now why under the canopy would he be telegraphing you? No, it’s from Terry. He wants you to come down there. But we’re entertaining the Cosby’s tomorrow night and I can’t have you traipsing off now," snarled Jim. “Why does Terry want me?” I asked, though I was afraid I knew the answer. Jim took his hand out of the pocket where It had evidently been clenched over Terry’s telegram. After a minute he gave me the crumpled looking sheet, and pressing it down on the table/ I read: “Betty’s arm comes out of cast tomorrow. Doctor has told me. Come at cnee. Know you won’t fail us. Terrance Winston.” “Tho first morning train’s about 11, Isn’t it?” I asked. “There’s anew train on at 10. I looked," explained Jim, “and then to save you the bother, X telegraphed for you.” “There isn’t a train tonight?” I questioned. “Tonight?" asked Jim, refusing to meet my eye. “Why, you aren't going till Friday. Anne. You can't. 1 said so in my message.” “1 can't go—to Betty when she needs me?” I gapped. “Oh, come now—bo reasonable, Anne. That cast can come off Betty's arm without your being there to make a hullabaloo over it. You're giving a party Thursday night—to my biggest clients." “But you don't understand. I've got to go." “Sure I understand. You always think you’ve got to do pretty much anything “but what I want you to. Now you listen to me, Anne. I’m running this. You can chase down there Friday, If you want to be at every one’s beck and call. And that’s a whole lot more than moat husbands would stand for.” “Jim, you don't understand.” X gasped. "It's- it's serious. There won't be any cheering when Betty's arm comes out of the cast. She isn't going to be able to use it.”

j KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the nany present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily ii an interesting review of their borne life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) FRIDAY. “I wish you would tell me how to make good eoffee, Mrs. Hooper?" said the bride as they walked to the club. ‘'l’ve been Intending to come over and ask you what Is the matter with mine. Bob Is a dear, bnt he says iny coffee Is an atrocity and X dou’t blame Mm, I can scarcely drink It myself’• “There never does seem to be any reliable recipe for making nffea In cook books, I know." replied Mrs Hooper, •People seem to think that there Is nothing to know about making It, but really It tikes skill and temperature and quantity in Just the right degreo or coff.-e is a dismal failure instead of a delicious beverage.” “Well, mine Is certainly awful," laughed the bride frankly. “I suppose I’ve been maktng the usual mistake that It could be Just mixed and boiled and still turn out right.” “In tha first place yon must decide on the coffee you and your husband like and then stick to one blend," volunteered Mrs. Hooper. “How ami to do that?” questioned the bride dubiously. "Well, you can experiment which Is not very reliable and also expensive." replied Mrs. Hooper, "or you and Boh can take some Saturday afternoon off, seek out a coffee man, take him into your confidence and he will find out for you the ‘cup quality' of the special kind of coffee that you like.” "I know exactly the man.” exclaimed the bride. “He has sold mother her coffee for years, but I’d never have thought of consulting him.” “If you buy coffee in the bean and grind it yourself It has a better flavor," said Mrs Hooper, “but at sn.v have It as freshly ground as possible and keep it 'n rather small quantities In a tin box as it does not lmpr—re with age.” "I haven’t any percolator," Interrupted the bride, “does that make a difference?" "Not necessarily," replied Mrs. Hooper, “there are three ways to make It; tho easiest way and the one requiring tho least attention Is to percolate, or It may be filtered or boiled in the old-fashioned way." "I think I’d better learn to make boiled coffee properly now," said the bride, “sine** I can't have a percolator.” “If you would have clear belled coffee," said Mrs. Hooper, “save your egg sheila.

“She Isn’t going to be able—Betty—lame? Crippled?" asked Jim under his breath, almost of himself. "Does she know?” “No,” I whispered briefly. My moment had come and I knew It. “How could Terry keep It from her 1” mused Jim. "He didn’t know,” I confessed. "He didn’t know? She didn’t know. What’s alj this mystery ? Sounds as if you know all right.” "I do. Miss Mobs made the doctor tell me.” “Why didn’t that fool doctor tell Terry?” demanded Jim. "He wanted to, bftt I stopped him. I said—l remembered my exact words—that I’d tell whomever had a right to know. And the doctor said he’d count on me. And I decided that Terry had a right not to know.” “How did you decide to come to play —Fate?" Jim’s voice was cold—colorless—accusing almost. "They’d had such a good time winning through the happiness. You said they were ghost-hunting, remembering Atherton Bryce. Well, that very morning Miss Moss told me she’d been his nurse, and he wasu’t good enough to tie Betty's shoestrings. They thought then Betty was going to be all right. It wasn’t till after Terry had persuaded Betty to marry him next day that I heard about the unexpected complication and her having only one chance in a hundred.” “And did you\think Terry wouldn't marry her—ls he knew?” “I knew he would Just the rame, Jim. But he’d be pitying her then instead of Just loving befi! And I thought she'd feel the difference.” Jim went on with his pitiless questioning: “And suppose when the day came and they found out—suppose then they resented what you’d done, didn’t forgive you. Suppose they Judged you without waiting for you to explain how you dared—make their decisions?” ”1 had to risk Jhat, Jim,” I cried. “Don't torture me with any mors questions. I can't tell you how I love Betty and want her friendship. But I thought if I had to pay that to make her happy I’d bear It. And I thought maybe you'd stand by, maybe you'd make them see that I meant to do the right thing.”— Copyright, ISI2I. (To He Continued.)

bnt wash them carefully before tho eggs ar broken. Crush the egg shell while mixing it with coarsely ground coffee, and use a level tablespaoufui of coffee to each cup of cold water. “And I suppose I must measure, not guess," interrupted the brldv. . “Certainly.” replied l.irti. Hooper, “then bring the coffee to a boil and cook three minutes.” ‘T've been using boll'ng wnter,” said the bride. “I suppose that's where I went wrong." "No. some people Insist that coffee should he made with boiling water," reriled Mrs. Hooper, and tnat Is all right if you boil the coffee for five minutes and then settle It with a dash of cold wnter ibout two tablespoonfuls to each cnp. Then set It on the stove where It will keep hot but not simmer, for ten minute*." "'Veil, It sounds simple enongh," said the bride, "I’ll try it tn the morning.” “And then serve your coffee with real cream whatever other economy you have to resort to about planning breakfast." advised Mrs. Hooper. "Otherwise, drink It black the way Mr. Hooper and 1 do, as the deadly enetny of eoffee." "H'>w about boiled milk?" asked the bride. “Ihat is an Improvement on cold milk." answered Mrs. Hooper, ‘but fragrant golden eoffee Is only possible when served with crenra and Is one of the best baits for holding a husbnnd that ! know."

PRINCE UDINE GIVES CAPITAL SEVERE SHOCK (Continued From rage One.) Why, I danced with him —you don’t suppose?—Oh, this Is terrible I” Washington gossip told many an extraordinary tale of the panic that spread through Washington society circles. Doctors were consulted. Faces were examined for any possible hint of an eruption. Friends who were companions in peril, through having danced with the Prince, -were called Into conference as to the aafety measures which should be taken. Gossip says that frightened maidens did some grotesque things by way of prevention. It is not related that any of them went through the ceremony of bathing three times in the sacred w r aters of the Potomac, but that must be because it did not occur to any of them to try this plan. Beyond all doubt for twenty-four hours Washington society was agog and alarmed. It was shocked, thoroughly shocked, because rumor whispered that Prince Udine had the smallpox! Rumor said he was quarantined. But rumor, as is so frequently the case, was exaggerative and mendacious. CONTAGION ONLY MEASLES, Worried fathers ar.d husbands making discreet but anxious Inquiry learned the truth. His royal highness had a mild attack of measles. The relief was tremendous Ladles who had felt all the symptons of small-

After all measles was only measles. It was Inconvenient, uncomfortable, temporarily disfiguring, but with care, merely a passing indisposition. The Prince was really paying this great democracy a tribute of devotion by submitting his princely person to so democratic a qomplaint. Moreover, if one had to have measles, It was certainly better, under the circumstances, to have an Italian variety than to be humiliated by suffering from German measles. TAKE IT AS “ROYAL GIFT.” Indeed one vivacious beauty, after fully considering all the possibilities, declared: “I am a good sport. They say that every person must have measles soon or late, and the sooner the less troublesome. 1 am a young thing, and if I must contract, how much more fun it is to have it as a royal gift, rather than to pick it up uuromantlcally on a Pullman or in a store'" None of this got Into the newspapers, for since the Prince was a royal personage, he was granted certain privileges and Immunities. So when the Prince, after a few days of retirement, appeared again, as debonair, as charming as ever, he was withotit any suspicion of the sensations which he had provoked up and down the best spinal columns in Washington. The city greeted him with unfeigned pleasure, and he had no trouble finding willing partners at the next dance. But it would be most unfair to I’rince Udine to permit the impression to re-

He was most eager to dersranding and sympathy between United States and .his country, andlH explain to us the desperate need of for coal and ships. In these efforts he' was ably seconded by the other members of tbe mission. ' I met them all again in Rome, shortly after the armistice, where I was accorded every honor and hospitality as the representative of the United States Navy, which throughout the war had maintained the most cordial relations with the Italian navy. I liked Rome greatly. The balmy air, after the dampness of Paris, was like our glorious Mnytime in the South— Indeed the climate of Rome and Raleigh are not unlike. SHOWS SELF REAL MAN. In Rome I learned that Prince Udine did not depend upon relationship to the king. In his own right he had risen to a high place as a~n officer in the Italian navy, and, during the far, was as diligent In his hazardous work as was the king himself, who rarely saw home from the day war was declared until peace come. Royalty survived in Itals, when thrones wore tottering because the king was a soldier, sharing the hardships of his men at the front, and the queen endeared herself by ministrations and personal service to the wounded and sick. Rank gave privilege, but in war the royal family found their only privilege Is serving. Our happy relations with Italy were due In no small degree to the personality of our ambassador at Rome. No American ever fitted into that position more ideally than Thomas Nelson Page. Virginian, lover of history and maker of literature, he walked into the hearts of Italians, and from the Italian mission in Washington I learn of their affection and admiration for him. Ambassador Pago had much of the charm you find In the Italian scholar and artist and statesman. My visit to Rome revealed more fully the esteem in which that accomplished diplomat was held.
