THE SECURITIES commission seems to be afraid the farmers will sell themselves a gold brick.

THE NEXT TIME the Sheehan Construction Company takes a contract for building a sewer it will look in advance to see whether it crosses the canal. The Party Prevails It Is becoming more and more evident each week that those members of the Republican party who value Its success higher than they do the personal ambitions of the stxalled city administration crowd are succeeding in their efforts to close the gap between those Republicans who thought they constituted the party before the last primaries and those Repubicans who proved that they were the party. The compromise by which it was determined that Samuel Lewis Shank was to receive the support of the party for mayor, even though the thought was repugnant to his defeated opponents was indicated long ago, and the only peculiarity of it was the fact that it took so many months to accomplish It. Supporters of Mr. Shank, who were moved to give him assistance in the primary more because he was opposed to the hand-picked candidate of the News Jewett machine than because of any particular fitness for the office be sought, are somewhat perturbed by the burying of the hatchet between the followers of Charles A. Jewett and the Shank crowd. There is really little need of apprehension. The city administration forces were so conclusively beaten in the primaries that they can never come bark into control of Indianapol.s. Mr Shank himself has realized that nothing is to be gained by further antagonism of them, but at the same time he has been impressed with their weaknesses and it is inconceivable that he will ever again allow theta to attrin the control of the party in Indianapolis, which he had so much difficulty In wresting from them. There is, according to Mr. Shank’s view, a place for them In the Republican ranks and they should be accorded all the honof due them as Republicans, but no more. If one were to admit the charges made by Mr. Shank's enemies that be is easily controlled and likely to be Influenced most by the last persons who get his ear, then one must admit a real menace in any compromise that gives consideration to the opponents he had in the last primary. But Judging by the nominee's loyalty to Dr. E. E. Hodgin and his prolonged refusal to be stampeded by the administration crowd's apparent indifference to the city election, Mr. Shank has learned constancy in the last few years and the word picture of vacillation mu3t be regarded as overdrawn. The mending of the rent In the fabric of the Republican structure makes it more and more apparent that the city election is to he conducted along the same party lines as previous campaigns, a thing that thl3 paper pointed out months ago. Efforts to make it appear that the city campaign is to be a fight between Mr. Ralston and Mr. Shank as individuals rather than as party nominees are rapidly losing force The earlier the Democratic party awakens to the fact that the Republican party in Indianapolis is not going to supply it with the necessities of victory the more time the Democrats will have to obtain those necessities. Banking on the collapse of an enemy without working in any way to bring about that collapse is strategy that cannot be maintained either In Indiana or Texas.

A Debt to John Hays. A debt of gratitude will always be owing to John Hays, diplomat. Secretary of State and author, for his far sighted policy and official treatment of China. The results are seen today, throughout not only the Oriental country, but in America as well. And Hays came from Salem, Ind., too. When America let Europe know that It did not look with favor upon the tearing apart of China by western armies and navies, the old country governments undertook to do it diplomatically, and in this China was not Impotent. She held her own. intellectually, with other nations, in statesmanship. The action of Hays and President Roosevelt in remitting a large part of the Boxer indemnity was without precedent, but the conditions attached have done great good. Each year several hundred bright Chinese youths ■come to America to study. They take hem® ideas which seem trite to Americans, hut which are fundamental with western civilization. A broad thoroughfare i? made where squalor and twisting lanes, with ail the attending crime, once dwelt. In Shanghai. Railroads are huilding and the re sources of the land develop. This Is largely the result of observation and education In America. The students note what is better in this land and seek to apply it to China. Recently an order for forty-six locomotives was placed in America, for Chinese roads. American machinery, especially for the production of steel and iron, is in demand and. best of ail, the young people of China are studying methods and manners of many institutions here. China, that was so backward and so exclusive, satisfied with its old civilization, which dates centuries ago. Is awakening, and America, by the action of John Hays, is assisting to guide that awakening. Consider the Source! The public would be more impressed by the present charges of the obstructionists of the city that contemplated school buildings are “too good ’ for the children of Indianapolis if they came from other sources. As it Is. one must remember .that these charges originated with A'fred Potts of the Taxpayers’ League, and he is the same Alfred Potts who solemnly argued the advantages of log cabins for school purposes only a few weeks ago. Also, these charges of extravagance are being circulated by the same agency that solemnly informed the public that money was being wasted by gilding rivets In the basements of the scboolhouse. thereby calling public attention to the fact that a furnace contractor had voluntarily contributed 10 cents worth of gilt and an hour s labor improving the appearance of his job. The majority members of the school board may be guilty of endeavoring to provide the children of Indianapolis with better school buildings than they ever had before. If so the public needs only to glance at some of the products of previous boards to realize that a vote of thanks Is In order. And. in the meanwhile, it might be well to remember that a great deal of the opposition to this majority faction of the school board did not originate until after the contract for a school in a part of the city tnhabitated by one of the chief obstructionists was let—without provisions for a gymnasium. Mr, Fletcher’s Stand In relinquishing control of the Fletcher-American Bank, Mr. Stoughton A. Fletcher says, with characteristic frankness, that lie is impelled to that action because of an unwillingness to “let any connection that I have with an outside business reflect in the slightest manner against the bank which has been built up by generations of my family.” Here Is an example of fidelity to tradition and to the welfare of the community which should not go unnoticed. Having become connected with affairs outside the bank, which mean much to the community. Mr. Fletcher is unwilling that they sbou’d be abandoned or that his association with them should be regarded as connecting them with an institution with which they are not, in reality, connected. In order to preclude any possibility of mistake in that regard he has taken the only step possible, regardless of the personal pride in the bank, to which he is thoroughly entitled. Mr. Fletcher is deserving of honor for his loyalty to his manufacturing Interests, which, by virtue of the number of citizens to whom they furnish employment, are probably more closely related to the progress or Indianapolis than his other enterprises. The public generally will appreciate that Mr. Fletcher has had in mind the welfare of the community to a much greater extent than fulfilment of his own ambitions. 4

The township trustees of Bartholomew County are being deluged with applications from school teachers for positions during the coming school year, according to an announcement tnada by Samuel Sharp, county superintendent.

It took Puss but a few minutes to dress, and on reaching the deck he met Mr. Jonah, who said: "This is a poor way to put out a tire," ash tossed the water from his pall down the latchway, from which was ris lug a thick cleu-1 of smoke. "\Ye need it hose and a puuip!" "Hurry up. Jonah,” commanded Cap tain Noah. "This fire Is getting t.. 0 much of .1 headway to suit me!

HEAT WAVE IS * HELD TO BLAME Columbus (Ind.) Police Sole •v Increase in Arrests. Special to The Times. CO LEM BUS, Ind. July 26.—Th® heat wave is given the blame for an unusually large number of arrests made In Columbus during the last month. The month has broken ail post prohibition records for arrests, acrording to Chief of Police Cooper and it is stated most of them can be traced directly to the excessive heat. Speeding autoraobllists, nut to find a hreer.a, have padded the police report, and ice men, giving short weight because their Ire melted too rapidly, added their names to the docket. Several man ufac: nrers of a beveragwith which they hoped to cool off In an old fashion wav. caused business for the police and a number of train riders, who were headed north, were detained by Chief Cooper's men. The chief says th tempers of the citizeua in general have been frayed to a dangerous point by the heat and that many petty caßes are Ihe outgrowth of this explosive condition. The divorce suit business also has taken a decided boom., and this la altributeij largely to "hot weather temper*,'' It is expected many of the divorce cases which are filed now will be dismissed with the arrival of cooler weather.

The Screen Rights to Books I don't want to repeat myself, but evidently a while ago, when I wrote about securing th® screen rights to published stories, or to books, I didn't make myself clear. A number of letters have come In asking me to take up this matter again, and also bringing up the question of selling a story with the proviso that the writer should have a part when it was produced—so I’m talking about these things again today. / First of all, about published books. It Is absoluttJy necessary to secure the screen rights to a published book—that Is, the right to present it on the screen—ln order ho sell a scenario based on that book. Otherwlw; the company producing such a story would get into legal difficulties. There have been lawsuits based on this point in the pash In some Instances the matter was settled out of court. One Instance was that in which Douglas Fairbanks made a picture based on a story of Richard Harding Davis, not knowing that, the story had been written from this book. Os course producers are very careful about this, and would not consider buying a scenario until they knew that the screen rights had been secured. Aud as a rule nowadays, ail authors reserve the screen rights to a story when they *•)? it to a publisher. Consequently here is llttl® chane® of an outsider getting them Also, the price for an option on the screen rights to a story is usually very high, so except in unußual cases It is far better for as* outside writer not to bother with writing a acenario that is based on published material. As for selling a scenario, either an original one or one made from a published story, with the understanding that the author is to have a part, this is quite out of the qnetsion. You see, the question ts not Just one of whether the author understands how the part should be played, or not. It depends on many things. It may be a star role —then it must go to a star, whose drawing power will make for the success of the picture. You see, yon have to do everything you ran to sell a picture in advance, and if you can send out advance advertising saying that Charlie Ray or Wallace Reid or some other favorite appears in a production, that picture is sure to draw a crowd, Just because of the star's nair.a. Then, too, the author might not screen well. That's a very important thing. And he- - or she—would lack screen experience, which la also most important And the director might not think that the author's appearance fitted the role. And—there might be a high salaried actor on

"and 1 think you'd better make some Inquiries at the livery stable, and **e If having a team would be too ex not.” “Well If we are going In an o’d horse and wagon." said Helen discontentedly.

the salary list who ought to be working, and who could play that part, so why engage an amateur to play it? You see, there are a good many considerations. So don’t ever send a not® with your scenario urging that you have a part of it produced. If it is accepted you can write and say that you and like to have a small part in the production. If It can be arranged, but don't count on it being arranged.

"I thought you liked the woods and sleeping out under the stars and eating the things you cook on a camp fire, Helen," said \ir3. Hooper disappoiutedij. “I’ve heard you and farher talk dotens of times of what fun it would be to make Just tho kind of trip w® are planning.” "1 guess I'll like It all right when we get there, mother," answered Helen, "but I don't like going la a wagon. It Isn't a bit stylish." Mrs. Hooper smiled and Roger laughed, which mode Heieu feel rather silly, but she continued to seem so dissatisfied as she cleaned away the luncheon dishes, that Mrs. Hooper began to wonder if after ail she would not have to make som® other plan for Helen and let Roger and h!s father go off by themselves and really enjoy their outing without having her on their hands. She didn't want to keep her home, and Betty was all the core that her moiher could undertake on her vacation. Os course there was always Auntie Belle, but she hated Ihe idea of any more "stylish” notions being lodged In Helen’s head, as a result of two weeks spent with her slater in law. Truly as she had said last night, the planning for th eracation was proving much more complicated than she bad expected. After luncheon she began to make the khaki dress for Helen that was to be part of her camping outfit. Even If she did decide at Hie last moment to let her go with Auntie Belle, the little khaki suit, m ice along the lines of a girl scout uniform would be useful for the trip to the mountains. There was not much preparation necessary as far as clothes were concerned. She had bought Roger's anl Henry's heavy socks last week, and they bach had a pair of shoes and an old suit and overall* that would be Just the things for "ronghlng It;” and 1f Helen want with them, her khail dress and a shad® hat of rough straw would be all she would need, as she also had an old pair of havy shoes that would do very well by being half-soled. Betty needed some new dresses go that she might be presentable to go away with her grandmother, and she planned to buy a little new material when she went la tow n on Thursday, and combine It with parts of Helen's dresses that she had ripped and pressed ana folded away at various times. "Even If Helen does go with Belle,” she said to herself ss she basted the khaki dress, "she has plenty of clothes so 1 won't have to get her a single new thing.” Tho menn for the three meals on Wednesday are: BREAKFAST Sliced Pineapple Ham Omelet Cereal Cinnamon Toast.
