THE WORDS of Frederick W. Galbraith on preparedness will linger in memory as the final plea of a man who sought to accomplish much for the country he loved! THAT $98,000 to be spent for one golf course would build about five of the swimming pools the park board has promised for three years, but the park board hasn’t the money to build the pools! NOR is the revelation that a negro policeman was in the habit of meeting another negro s wife at the Bungalow very distinctly to the credit of the police, the Bungalow’ or the Jewett administration! AUDITOR FESLER has heretofore been so successful in ignoring the law that he can hardly be expected to worry much over a statute that might forbid the elimination of a township trustee in a political emergency! IN THE INTEREST of economy, we suggest that four more such diligent humane officers as we have be employed to take the place of the hundred or more inspectors on the city pay rolls. Certainly the whole lot never made as many “inspections” as these four did last month! The Way to Higher Fares The attempt of the city administration to force the street car company to enter into anew contract with the city embodying all the terms of the surrendered franchise except the clause as to rates brings before the public a very simple question. The question is whether the citizens of Indianapolis wish a continuation of a contract, the terms of which have made it impossible for the price of a street car ride in Indianapolis to remain below 5 cents. It has been clearly demonstrated and judicially determined that the street car company can not comply with the terms of its surrendered franchise and exist on a 5-eent fare. The position of the city administration is that the company must continue to comply with the terms of the franchise, exceptirg as they apply to fares. Hence, it ought to be evident to every citizen that the city administration is working to the end street car fare in Indianapolis be greater than 5 cents. t We do not believe that the people of Indianapolis are willing to pay more than 5 cents for a street car ride. We know the company does not desire to charge more than 5 cents and we have been assured that the city administration does not favor a fare higher than 5 cents. Consequently, we can have no sympathy with a demand on the part of the city administration that the street car company accept conditions that will make the fare more than 5 cents and give indication of making it even as high as 10 cents. The surrender by the street car company of its franchise places the authority over fares solely with the public service commission. The law not only authorizes but mandates the piiblic service commission to fix rates such as will provide, over and above operating expenses, a reasonable return on the utility property used and useful. It is plain that if the city administration succeeds in imposing on the street car company conditions that keep its operating costs at the present high point then the public service commission will be compelled to fix fares at high enough a point to cover these high operating costs and pro-vide-'the reasonable return on the investment which the company has not had since 1913. There is only one way that street car fares can be kept at 5 cents in Indianapolis. In order to accomplish that purpose the operating costs of the street car company must be reduced to a minimum. They can not be reduced to a minimum if the conditions of the surrendered franchise are to be imposed on the company by anew contract embodying them Hence, it follows as the day the night that in demanding that the terms of the surrendered franchise be embodied in anew contract with the street car company or saddled on to it by a city ordinance, the city administration is demanding that the citizens of Indianapolis pay more than 5 cents for a street car ride. This, we submit, is not in the interests of the street car riders the street car company nor the people of Indianapolis as a whole. Why is it sense flees whenever the Jewett administration assembles to discuss the street car problem?

Why Is a Statute? The Legislature of the State of Indiana, presumably representative of the people of the State, passed a law enabling the consolidation of the State reformatory and the penal farm. The law says: “Be it enacted by the general assembly of the State of Indiana that the Indiana reformatory now located at Clarksville, in the County of Clark, SHALL BE removed to PUTNAMVILLE in Putnam County, Indiana, and that there shall be constructed for the use of said Indiana reformatory buildings and improvements upon land to be purchased or now owned by the State of Indiana as hereinafter provided.” This is plain language Fenveying a simple meaning and susceptible of only one interpretation. The Legislature plainly sought to provide that the reformatory should be removed from Clarksville to Putnamville, which is the location of the penal farm, and that the new plant should be erected either on the land which the State now owns and uses as a site for the penal farm, or land which is to be purchased for the purpose of enlarging that site. Since the Legislature adjourned the State officials have been engaged in a steadily progressing movement to defeat the plain intent of this statute. They have decided that the part of the law requiring the purchase of land “adjacent" to the penal farm really means the purchase of land within ten or twelve miles of it. They have decided that the Legislature did not make mandatory the establishment of the reformatory in conjunction with the penal farm. In fact, they have construed the words of the statute quoted above to mean that a commission appointed to carry out the foregoing mandate has plenary powers to locate the new reformatory where it pleases. It makes very little practical difference to the citizens of Indianapolis where this reformatory is located. Probably no one here will be affected one way or the other if the reformatory is located within fifty feet or a hundred miles from Putnamville, Putnam County. But the new reformatory can be located no other place than that designated in the foregoing statute without a display of indifference to the law and disregard of the legislative intent that does vitally affect every citizen of Indiana. For, if state officials can ignore, evade and defeat as clearly a defined purpose as is set out in this statute, of what binding effect is any act of the Legislature? Asset or Liability? The great question to any beginner in bookkeeping is to determine on which side of a ledger to make certain entries. At times it requires an expert to determine a liability from an asset even in other realms than expert accounting. Recently a Knights of Columbus war worker in Turkey was offered a complete harem of a merchant who appealed for aid in reaching the United States, while a few days following the American Government deported a resident of Brooklyn and his two wives. The latter was 46 years old and somewhat bigamous. In one case the merchant thought he was offering something of great price, while in the other the decision of the Government was that none were wanted and all had to depart. A harem may pass current in Turkey but it is taboo in Brooklyn. There is a time in every mans life when he thinks two people can live as cheaply together as one can abide separately. This opinion does not continue very long and it seems that the older a man grows in America the more he is inclined to the liability theory to which the Government apparently adheres. The general tendency is that no positive opinions are to be expressed on this subject by those not in authority. This silence is not for the purpose of permitting some fellow to fall into a pit. or into matrimony, but it is really inability to determine on which side of the ledger to make the entry. Certainly where a harem is maintained, it is counted an asset. But the American Government and the K. C. worker evidently did not want the harem.

25 DANCING KIDDIES TO APPEAR In Fairy Dance Fantasy at the Circle

Twenty-five dancing kiddies In the clases of Miss Gertrude Hacker will appear in a dance fantasy called “Morning,” at the Circle Theater next week, beginning Sunday, as an added feature to the regular bill. The costumes for the fantasy have been designed by W. Hurley Ashby and musical settings have been arranged by Rudlof Kafka. The dance fantasy will be offered as an added attraction to a bill which features Constance Talmadge and Harrison Ford in “Wedding Bells,” a movie version of a stage comedy success -I- -I- -1THE MASTER’S LATEST DVE SUNDAY AT LOEW’S. “Dream Street,” the new D. W Griffith picture, is a little voyage through a land that is distinctly Griffithland. In a foreword to the picture, he declares it is not Limehouse, nor London, Pennyfields nor High street. It is just one of the fascinating lands of Nowhere that Mr. Griffith invents. With the actors you seem to roam through the diamond dusk of strange old alleys, with their dirt and their perfumes and the odd life goes jangling through the shadows. With the queer sardonic Chinaman you tread stealthy stairways that seem to creak with memories and confessions or, with Gipsy Fair, the adorable little dancer, you trip measures in the sunshine of broad walks and little courtyards. Sometimes you are'upon the dock with the masts and spars of the shipping black against the starlit sky. Again, you are in funny stuffy little dressing rooms which seem to have the age and traditions of the real. Still again, you are in ancient Egypt of the Pharoahs with the pyramids standing in grim and reeking silence at your back. Then again there comes into your purview, dainty drawing rooms that ring with the laughter of children; and then

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 many present day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) FRIDAY. When dinner was over last night, Mrs. Hooper took Helen up to her room regardless of the fact that there were unwashed dishes and home lessons to be prepared. Mrs. Hooper had said nothing to either Henry or Roger and the boy even failed to contribute a brotherly Jibe when Helen was sent directly upstairs as soon as the evening meal was finished. Both of them supposed that she was being punished for not coming directly home from school Thev had no idea that she had been deceiving her mother as to where she had been and telling her falsehoods, to supply an interesting adventure for herself.

Mrs. Hooper had no desire to make the situation too humiliating for th child and she believed that she could deal with her much more effectively if sh-> had s-itoe consideration for her feelings, even if she had been very naughty. "Sit down on this stool. Helen.” said her mother, p illing up the low scat to the side of he: rocking chair. “I want to let you know right away, so that you won’t have to tell me any more stories, that i know you have never been to visit Edna Jackson at all, because she hasn't been in Mayfair for a long time.” Helen began to cry softly and fumblel for her pocket handkerchief, which she always had difficulty In locating. ’-‘But, mother—” she began, sniffing and dabbing her eyes. “I didn't man—” “It doesn’t make much difference now, Helen, what you meant," Interrupted her mother, trying to keep the situation clear of other falsehoods. "What yon did was to spend two afternoons Idly In the library and then come home and* tell me that you had been visiting Edna Jackson. What I want you to tell me Is Just why you did that'/ What made you think of such a thing? Try end teil me why It occurred to yon to pretend that you had visited Edna Jackson, when you don’t even know her.” “Well—well—mother.” sobbed the child. “I juat did it because—because— well because I Just wanted to be grand.” “Grandi” exclaimed her mother. “Yes, Just grand and stylish." con- j tinued Helen, still sniffing. “1 always wanted to visit Edna Jackson. She look* so expensive 'when she comes to church and then I thought I’d pretend she’s asked me to come to her house so everybody would think I was somebody important." “Did you tell the girls that you had gone there?” Inquired Mr*. suddenly realizing that Tart of Helens punishment would come when she would have to confess to her playmates mat she had never been to Edna'a house. “No, Mother,” said the child looking up quickly. “I didn't tell a soul after j

Helen, you know from your Sunday school lessons, and from what you hear in church every Sunday, Just what a sinful thing It is to tell lies. You have made of yourself Just the kind of person that your Sunday school teacher has told you Is wicked; but mother knows you so well, dear, that she understands that it can only be a kind of sickness like a bad cold that conld have made you act the way you have done, and that the feeling that has crept into you which has made you want to tell me a lie must be cured so th:.t you won't grow into a girl that people will dislike because they can t trust her.” "I'm terribly sorry, mother," Helen began shedding fresh tears at her mother's solemn tone “I won't never do it again.” “I don't believe yon will. Helen,” her mother replied, “because, besides being wicked, what you have done is very silly. But when a little girl Is HI. she needs some medicine or she will never get well." “Oh. mother, don't give me any that tastes bad,” pleaded Helen. “I'U bo sure never to tell you a story again." “I’m afraid, dear, the medicine will taste bad.” said her mother solemnly, “but it will help to make you remember that only truthful little girls deserve to have special things done for them.

And, would you believe It. Puss took up h)s Magic Ax and placed it carefully on the table and then he said: “Chop! chop! chop!” and off went the long, hairy ears, and the next minute two ears grew In their place; the right kind of ears, you know; just like yours and mine.

So Puss stopped and said; | "Hello, Uttle white rabbits!’’ And j of course, they were dreadfully frightened, because they had never seen a cat with red top boots before. ; “Don’t be afraid of me,” said Puss, gently. “I won't harm you.” Well, this pleased the little rabbits and they told Puss they would take him to see the ! king. So off they all went, and by and by they came to the castle of the king. | It was a very beautiful palace, let me ; tell you, with high turrets and a sliver ; moat around it and a great drawbridge j across to cross over oh. And when they came quite near, on® ; of the little rabbits took a gold whistle j, out of his pocket and blew upon It, and i the other little rabbit waved a blue and white flag, acd then the drawbridge ! opened and they all crossed over. 1 "Our master, (he king, is a very kind man," whispered the little rabbit with the gold whistle, but you mustn't for--1 get to bow every time he speaks to you. And the little rnbblt who carried the flag whispered to Puss. “Our master, the king. Is a very kind man, but you mustn't forget to whistle once In a while." Bo Puss said, “I'U remember what you tell me," and Just then the castle gates opened and a large white rabbit, with a j very pink nose, stood before them, i “lie's the king's prime minister.” 1 whispered both little rabbits under their | breath, and in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1921.
