NOW that the price of asphalt has dropped 60 cents a ton maybe some of the chuckholes will be repaired. \ “ ~ THE COLUMBUS Gas Company is losing money and must have higher rates. Where have we heard that expression before? THE PLAYING of "Wearing 6f the Green" would have been more appropriate if it had been George Harvey who was arriving. EVERY POSSIBILITY of using that mining district affair as an argument for a State constabulary having been exhausted, the sheriff of Pike County has reduced his guard. WHAT does President Harding need with an assistant when he has "Doc” Sawyer, whom a writer In a popular magazine terms "the suddenest brigadier general in all history?” Indiana Politics “Why does Indiana rank first in number of ballots cast on election day over any other State In proportion to the number of registered voters?" The above query is submitted to the Daily Times by a friendly reader, who asks that we reply in our department of general information. The following suggestive questions are added to the one above: "Is it because we have fewer foreigners within our borders than other States? Is it because Indiana is always close politically? Do the citizens of Indiana take more than usual interest in politics or is it because the State Is better organized from a political viewpoint than other States?” While it is probable that each of the four factors suggested in the query of our reader has a more or less prominent part in bringing about the result referred to, the pre-eminent reason lies in the fact that people who have lived their lives in the great Hoosier commonwealth have had politics as an Item of their daily menu 6ince they first entered the public schools. Porents of Hoosier children discuss political affairs around the fireside and over the teacups. The Indiana mother gathers her children about her in the winter evenings and tells them storiqs of Indiana men and women who have made a place for the State in the Nation's hall of fame —fighting in the great wars, leading in oratory in legislative halls, officiating in positions of honor, the highest and best that a great Nation can give. Politics and civil government is one of the most Important subjects outlined in the course of study for the Indiana public schools, beginning down In the grades. Indiana’s teachers are of the patriotic sort. They believe in their State and their Nation, and this faith is drilled Into the plastic minds of their young students in the educational process. Those who know the story of Indiana will admit that the greatest political reforms the State has ever known resulted from propaganda which started in Hoosier circles, to be nurtured and cultivated later in the public schools, culminting finally in legislation which tended to better the citizenship of the State. It is believed necessary 4p teach politics to the youth of the StAte, for the simple reason that the boys and girls of today will rule affairs tomorrow. Indiana has long been known as the best organized State in the • Union from a political point of view. Organization is said to be complete down to the smallest precinct unit of the most remote rural district. Politics pervades the entire civic circulation. Hence, people of Indiana are politicians to a greater or less degree. They point with pride to their famous sons who have won fame in the world of politics, and whose lives are an inspiration. But few States have •gene beyond us in this respect. We exercise our right to the ballot, because we have inculcated the principle that it is the proper thing to do. Politics is an Important part of the game of life. *

Better Highways! The State highway commission, revamped by the McCray administration without regard to the political and other interests that have heretofore dominated It, has announced its intention of concentrating on the task of filling the gaps that were created under the “skip-stop'’ method of building highways introduced by the Goodrtch-Wright regime. The announcement will be received with considerable satlafaction by those exponents of good roads In Indiana who believe that the real purpose of road building is to provide highways for those who travel rather than pap for those who control votes. The connecting up of the isolated sections of hard-surfaced roads that were under the direction of L. H. Wright Is a tremendous task that will occupy the commission throughout the whole of the McCray administration. When It is accomplished Indiana will be in the front rank with States that Relieve in good roads, and motor transit will no longer be a dream. But, in the meanwhile, thanks to the utter Incompetency of the Goodrich commission and the indifference of the so-called good roads advocates of the State, the traveler In Indiana will continue to learn by experience what a contrast there Is between States that use Judgment m laying out a highway system and States that leave such Important matters to the tender mercies of a lot of unscrupulous and ambitious politicains. Proper Prosecution Whether or not U. S. Lesh, attorney general, succeeds In bringing his present prosecution of the ice dealers of Indianapolis to a successful termination he has done a public service In instituting the proceedings. Indianapolis citizens have been paying dearly for the lack of competition in the ice business ever since Stanley Wyckoff, as fair price commissioner, evolved the present method of operation that resulted in his stepping from a Federal position to the executive secretaryship of the ice dealers. It is a fact that ice which can be made and delivered at a fair profit for much less than 60 cents a hundred is being retailed in this city at that price. And it is frequently a very poor quality of ice. It Is a fact that there exists a complete understanding between the various ice dealers as to territory to be served and that all of them adhere to the same prices. These facts should, in themselves, be sufficient justification for the suspicion that has long existed that competition has been throttled and unreasonable profits are being taken by the ice dealers, not all of whom seem to have been doing business under their own names. Mr. Lesh and the McCray administration have started a prosecution that will meet with popular favor, because it shows a disposition to use the powers of the State in the interests of the consumer, who has long been neglected. Insincere Those persons in Indianapolis and elsewhere who are now excusing their failure to cooperate with the Government in the uncovering of members of a gang who have been raiding the United States mails are either afflicted with bad nerves or, worse, insincerity. It is unbelievable, in this day of enlightenment, that there exists anyone person or combination of persons so pwerful as t menace Govenrment witnesses and defy the power of the United States to protect its citizens. We have never reached the point in this wave of criminality that followed the war and has been steadily receding where it was necessary for a man or woman to seal his lijis in fear of death or injury at the hands of the lawless. Such reasons for suppression of evidence are entirely teo far-fetched to be accepted by the general public. They do not furnish as much as a palpable screen for the real reason, which is obviously a disinclination to resent dishonesty that injures the Stains as a whole rather than the individual. _ \

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 Daily Times how the many present-day problems o. the home are solved by wokrtng on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. 1 ollow them dally iu an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat of living with them.) FRIDAY. “What do you suppose has happened to the president’s committee that was going to call on Mr. Jackson tomorrow afternoon In such grand stylo,” laughed tho Bride as she dashed up the front stairs of the Hooper house, and like the privileged little friend she had grown to be burst Into the living room where Mrs. Hooper wts doing the morning straightening up. “I haven’t the least Idea,” said Mrs. Hooper as she stopped dusting to hear the news. “Well Mrs. Kendall, the secretary, who had been appointed to go with the president, telephoned me Just now and told me all about It," giggled the Bride, throwing herself down on the couch and taking off her big sun bat. “It seems the president wrote Mr. Jackson and suggested that they come up and see him Saturday afternoon since she understood he would be home, and he got her on the phone Immediately to say most graciously that he miildn't think of putting them to sucb Inconvenience, and that be understood that the club had a meeting every Friday afternoon anyhow and It would give him great pleasure to come down from the city this afternoon. Instead of tomorrow, and meet all the ladles and learn from them Just what he might do to mako the affair a success. ■'What do you know about htat," concluded the Bride, lapsing Into slang. “Now we'll alt see him Instead of Just this peaky women.;’ "I think Mr. Jackson has shown that he Is very anxious to cooperate with us," said Mrs. Hooper, resuming her dusting. “I think It's Just great the way he treated the president for 'butting In,' ” said the Bride. “I'm sure he had no such thoughKln his mind,” answered Mrs. Hooper, defending him. "He has only suggested doing the polite, conventional thing, Rnd I think his bring so democratic ns to come to the club to meet us Is splendid." • “Well, he’s spoiled the president's exclusive little party, anyhow,” concluded the Bride as she sprang up to go. "It looks as If Helen was the only one Who Is to be privately entertained after all. I must race back and wash my breakfast dishes, but I Just had to run over and tell you the news.” There was great excitement at the clubhouse before the business session was called, and much discussion as to Just what kind of an entertainment they should have. The meeting was half over when Mi-. Jackson arrived and was introduced by the president. He Immediately asked If they could not be adjourned and talk Informally, and said that he wished they would feel perfectly free to make any requests that would aid them In carrying out any plans they might have In mind. “I understand,” he said “that the Idea Is to have an afternoon garden party but If you would like to give the affair In the evening I will have the grounds strung with electric lights.” This was anew Idea and some of the women favored It as perhaps appealing to the men of the town. “Oh, I don't think it will be half so nice as to have a real, lovely garden party In the afternoon,” spoke up the Bride impetuously. “We want to enjoy the flowers and those splendid old shade trees on the lawn. And besides our elothps will look so much prettier,” she concluded with a laugh. “I should say that was a great argument in favor of the afternoon,” smiled Mr. Jackson. After some discussion Is was decided that it would be an afternoon garden

Mr. Jackson greeted Mrs. Hooper most cordially after the meeting broke up and ns she introduced him to the Brldo Just as he was leaving be said: “I hope, Mrs. Hooper, you and this lady will come up tomorrow afternoon with little Helen to tea as wo planned. Edith is expecting her and while they aro amusing • themselves we might pick out the places for the tea tables.” The Bride was quite as gasping In expressing her pleasure as Helen had been when she received her Invitation. The menu for the three meals for Saturday Is: BREAKFAST. Stewed Rhubard Cereal Sausage Balls Muffins Coffee LUNCHEON. Com and Tomato Chowder Bread and Butter Cookies Sliced Bananas DINNER.

This is one of the days that are i counted lucky In the calendar of human hopes. Jupiter, the Sun and Mars are all In beneflo aspect. Saturn, alone, Is adverse. It Is a rule under which to push all lines of business, especially whatever de pends on future development and enterprise. Bankers, brokers and business men have the best direction of the stars making for large projects ably managed. Persons whose birtbdnte It is may expect an active and prosperous year, that brings success In many lines. Children born on this day will bs Industrious, energetic and clever, In all ' probability.

CURB “LIZARDS” BARRED. NEWARK, N. J. June 24—Newark police have started a round-up of “lizards” who pass dull evenings flirting from the curbs of busy streets The first arrest was that of “Smiling Joe ’ Rftehle, prize fighter, who got thirty I days In jail for slapping a girl on the ; shoulder. Two other "lizards" were fined jslo each.

STOP GRAFTING BY CONSTABLES Evidence Found That Some Officials Have Pocketed Speeders’ Fines. Since It was announced a few days ago that the Hoosier State Auto Association had obtained the attention of both the attorney general and the State board of accounts to complaints of grafting as well as preying on motorists, which practices are alleged to have taken place in various sections of the Stale, reports now show there has been little or no recurrence of tile activities which started the original complaints. According to H. E. Noblet, manager of the Hoosier Auto Association, in some instances the association had evidence that the constable, Justice of the peace and town marshal would split a fine three ways without any entry on the docket or without any warrant having been made out. “This is clearly a malfeasance,” declared Mr. Noblet, “and comes within the purview of the State hoard of accounts, which is looking into such reports in various sections of the State.” The State Auto Association does not wish the impression to be spread that this association ip engaged In busying itself protecting violators of the traffic laws. "On the contrary,” stated Mr. Noblet, "our organizaUon stands for the enforcement of all laws and local regulations concerning automobile traffic. Our organization is responsible for most of the laws affecting motorists now on the statute books and we are recognized as efficient aids to law enforcement officers in every section of tile State. But there Is a difference between law enforcement and persecution of motorists. Our only concern in this matter is that our members shall not be persecuted by constables and other petty officers who trump up-charges solely for the sake of the fees therein.’ OLD EGYPTIAN DUE BILL. BERLIN, June 24.—0n the back of a papyrus in the Berlin Museum is the draft of a due bill that is supposed to have been made about 850 B. C. or earlier than any previously known Egyptian document of a like character. A priest of Atnon, who was manager of a royal subtreaeury, lent five dehen (about $5) of silver for one year at 100 per cent Interest. The silver, it was stated, belonged to the Treasury of Harsaphes, an Egyptian god, indicating its fineness.

MOVIELANIp Lillian Gish MILLIONS LOVE HER

A Model Synopsis—Continued This is the second instalment of the model synopsis of a motion pictiye which began in yesterday’s paper—that of the picture named "Maggie Pepper.” Meanwhile Joe Holbrook had decided that he likes Maggie's Ideas as to the rehabilitation of the business and appoints her as his assistant, much to the chagrin of the manager and Alice, Joe’s fiancee. Alice is decidedly Jealous of Maggie. Holbrook retains Maggie in spite of the fact that Hargen has used the shoplifting episode as a pretext to get rid of her. A year passes and Claire's mother comes out of prison. Her husband Is there to meet her, and tells her that they must get Claire away from Maggie at once—he wants to marry her to a friend of his. He says that if Maggie won't give her up they’ll make her pay well for the privilege of keeping the child—she has a fine Job at Holbrook's now and can pay. Ada doesn't like this, but conceals her feelings. Maggie Jlas been getting on finely in her new position; the store is a different place, and the owner consults her on all business matters—so often that gossip has been busy linking her name with his. This makes Alice furious, and she tells her brother, Hargen, that he must get rid of Maggie. Sam Darkin, Ada’s husband, now comes to Maggie and tells her that he wants to have Claire to lire with them—that he has a friend who wants to marry Claire. This shocks Maggie, and, ns he talks she realizes that he has come to her to hare her buy him off. She refuses and he gets ugly. He starts to treat her roughly, and, as she cries out, Joe Holbrook, who is nearby in the store with Alice, hears and rushes to her. lie knocks Darkin down and Darkin slinks out to Join Ada, vowing revenge. Joe’s championship of Maggie angers Alice, and she tells him he must discharge Maggie or she will break their engagement. Joe tries to put her off. but Maggie, seeing how things stand, voluntarily resigns, tellln# the manager that

she is no trouble-maker. When Joe come* back he learns that Maggie has gone, and determines to make her return. He realizes that he can't run things without her help, and that he has been growing fond of her. That night he makes it his business to go to her flat and plead with her to come back. When he arrives, he finds Ada there, pleading with Maggie to save Claire and her from Darkin. Maggie has just had an offer from a rival firm to go as buyer for them to Japan. She has decided to do this in order to get Claire out of Darkin's clutches. She has been telling her plans to Ada, and has promised Ada that she will take her with them. She, however, warns Ada that they must be careful not to allow Darkin to get a hint of their plans. Joe tells Maggie that he wants te talk tO\ her. She sends Claire Into another room and tells Ada to go out and get rid of Darkin, who is waiting for her outside. Joe then tells Maggie that he wants her to come back to her position; that he can't get fftong without her, and that his engagement to Alice has ben broken. Maggie say that she can't do this; that she has accepted an offer to go to Japan: that she must carry out her plans In order tp save Ada and Claire. —Copyright, 1921, by.the Wheeler News-* paper Syndicate. * (To Be Concluded Tomorrow.)
