WILLIE CAREY is out again. Yes. he was found guilty but his pull brought him another suspended judgment. BOTH PARTIES have how announced their municipal platforms and by next week no one will remember what was In either one! Soft for Shank! There is a happy chuckle running through the ranks of the more Mtute of the politicians who have lined up for Samuel Lewis Shank and the chuckle Is one of supreme content and satisfaction over the success of a bit of propaganda that is helping the Shank cause immensely. The chuckle is due to the fact that the ■’pusßyfooters” of the Democratic party bid fair to have their own way about the manner In which the city campaign is to be conducted, just as they had their own wa> about the manner in which the last State campaign was conducted with such disastrous results. Samuel Lewis Shank won bis nomination for mayor on the Republican ticket by a complete repudiation of the Charles W. Jewett adroinistiation. The sentiment against the Jewett regime was so great in the city that a large number of-Democrats left their party in order to help the disgruntled Republicans administer a rebuke to the Jewett machine. For several weeks the Jewett machine was so incensed at its treatment that there was doubt whether it could be reconciled to Shank s supoort. Then harmony was declared, and today the political workers who constituted the Jewett organization are so deeply enmeshed in the Shank campaign that they could not be pried loose with a crowbar. During the interval that there was open hostility between the Shank and Jewett factions of the Republican party, the Democrats sought a covert alliance with the Jewett crowd. They pledged themselves not to make political capital out of the failures of the Jewett administration and proceeded on the theory that the Jewett organization would give them much support In the city campaign. Now, all of that part of the Jewett organization that really counts for anything in politics has been absorbed by the Shank organization and the Democrats are practically deprived of thoir campaign material. • In other words, Shank has been able to take unto himself the support of the Jewett workers without acquiring any of the odium that attacnes to the administration's acts. He has repudiated the Jewett administration's conduct but absorbed its support. A large number of Democrats are still councilirg that no attacks be made on the Jewett administration this campaign because they expect the Jewett Republicans to vote for B- M. Ralston. 4 Another part of the Democratic pkrty realizes that Shank could not have been nominated had It not been for the anti-Jewett sentiment In the city and they recognize the anti-Jewett sentiment as the force that is necessary to the election of a Democrat. And the Shank followers a#e chuckling because the element in the Democratic party that still thinks the Jewett Republicans will help elect & Democrat is standing in the way of a campaign against Jewettism, which the Shank followers most fear. Asa result of the efforts of these “soft-pedal” artists among the Democrats, the Shank organization Is congratulating itself that It may line up with it the Jewett workers and at the same time be spared the necessity of defending: The garbage plant deal. The sanitary hoard's neglect of sewage disposal. The purchase of more fire apparatus than the underwriters would sanction higher price than the rejected first bid. The failure to keep the streets in repair. The expenditure of two million dollars a year more for the operation of the city than any previous administration. And other things too numerous to mention. Blocking Good Schools Alfred Potts’s personally* conducted "taxpayers' league' appears to be doing to the school system of Indianapolis exactly what it was organized to do, despite the fact that it has been thoroughly discredited in each and every one of the contentions which it brought before the public. By the simple process of falling to rule on the petition to issue bouds for the construction of four school buildings in Indianapolis, the State board of tax commissioners is blocking and probably has blocked for a year the construction program that is so essential to the rehabilitation of the school eystem. Weeks ago the tax board beard the remonstrators and Inspected the sites of the new schools. Weeks ago it heard the plea of the school commissioners for the right to replace the dilapidated fire traps that will menace .he lives of the children of the city this fall. * In accordance with the law the board set the matter for hearing within thirty days of the date the petition was filed. In direct contradiction of the spirit of the law it has failed to make a ruling and in the meantime the time in which the buildings might be constructed this year is rapidly slipping away. There never was any good reason why these buildings should not be constructed. The Potts league first protested against them on the grounds that they were unnecessary and In support of that contention Alfred Potts launched into a long discourse on the advantages of a log cabin education. When public sentiment routed this contention the Potts league found fault with the school board's engineers and solemnly declared that never would it agree to the erection of buildings under the supervision of these engineers. When the contract was broken by the engineers the Potts league transferred its attack to the cost of the buildings and now the State tax board, composed of two nonresidents of Indianapolis, is presuming to tell the taxpayers of Indianapolis Jiow much of their money they may spend In order to house their children properly. Presumably the tax board will exercise this presumption some day. In the meanwhile winter is approaching and it appears that the tax board will not decide the bond Issue question in time to allow the contracts to be let or the new buildings to be started during this oullding season. That is exactly what the Potts league and its managers want. Having discovered that they cannot cajol. browbeat or coerce tills school board into retaining their inefficient friends in public office or employing the engineers they wish employed, the opponents of good schools in Indianapolis are delighted with the failure of the tax board to decide on the bond issue petition. If the State tax board can be induced to stand between the children of Indianapolis and proper school buildings for a few months mpre, they will have baited the building program until after the next school board election. At this election the opponents of good school buildings "hope to fool enough of the voters of the city to regain control of the school board and let our school system continue to deteriorate. By so doing they will save themselves a little money in taxes and there are very few of them who have children to be educated, anyhow. The Coroner’s Opportunity Coroner Robinson will do this community a real favor if he will conduct an Investigation into the death of Woaneta Franke to show the public who Is responsible for this deplorable accident. It haa been revealed so far that this little girl was killed by a city car driven by a city employe on an errand that had no connection with city buslnesa. It has also been disclosed that just prior to the accident the city car was being operated alongside the interurban tracks at a speed equal to that of the fastest interurban train that enters Indianapolis. It will hardly be contended by anyone that it was necessary for the death car to beat the interurban into the city and only the most Intensely partisan supporters of the Jewett administration will contend ♦hat it was legal for the mayor to direct a city employe to use a city car for the purpose of transporting a member of his family to the farm outside the cits to which the mayor devotes so much of his time. Coroner Robinson's finding in this death should include the avail able evidence as to why the city car happened to be at this particular place when it killed a little girl, why it should be racing with an interurban and on whose shoulders rests the responsibility for this use of city property u a maimer that the State board of accounts has declared illegal.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(Th* Hoopers, an average Aineucaa family of nve, living In a * ut ?“ r ”*S town, on a limited income will teu the readers of the Daily 1 tm e tbe many present-day problems or the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper bas evolved and found practical, r oiiow them daily in an interesting retie* of their home lire Dd learn to tneet the conditions of the high coat or living with them.) WEDNESDAY. ‘T ordered a load of gravel to be delivered today.” said Mr. Hooper, as he was leaving the house for the office. I almost forgot to tell you übout It. Mary, we have been'imV.isy dlsensslng our vacation plans. It is three rears since the walk* and yard have been graTeled and I had a chance to get this load because Briggs decided he die n't want it this year." ‘•l'm ever so glad of that," replied Mrs Hooper, as *he walked to the front gate with her huaband, “becanae I'm sure It will be a long time now before we can put cement walks around the honae. I'm so sorrv we didn't do It years ago when material and labor was so much cheaper." "Well, we couldn’t do everything." said Henry, philosophically, "and the graveled walks do ua very well, tbongh they don't look quite aa ahipahape, 1 entiles* or Improve the property as much as the ee meat one* would have done had we Invested tn that improvement when it could have been done cheaply.” •| w m pay the man when he delivers the load this afternoon." replied Mrs. Hooper, "and 1 suppose I shall have to employ a laborer to spread It aronnd ’ "There lan't the slightest necessity for that," objected Heury. "It ten a heavy work at all and Roger and I can shovel It on to the walks and rake it Into place as easily a* any hired man to whom you will have to pay at least $3 “Well. 1 suppose It will be good exercise for both df yon." agreed Mrs. Hooper, "and you can take your time at 1 One reason that Mrs. Hooper had always been able to keep down her expenses and Uve within her budget for "shelter” and “operating expenses" was because both she and Henry and the children also where It was possible did so many thing themselves, that would otherwise have to be paid for at a high rate of wages. The coat of labor waa cut to the minimum In the Hooper household, because both Mr. and Mrs. Hooper had long ago decided that u.ne time* out of ten after considering it they found It was perfectly possible for them to do things, that at first thought It had seemed necessary to assign to an outsider. Unless expert knowledge were needed for the performance of a task, they found they could do ail sorts of odd Jobs themselves at little or no expense. This not only kept a balance in tbeir budget for "operating expenses'

but assured them always of sufficient money to pay for such work and repairs as did require skilled labor. The plumber's bil. for the year, that was 81ways rendered in July had come In th* I morning mall and Included a uha'rge fox j the annual inspection of every pipe, I laucet and drain on the place as well as j for everything that had been necessary . la the way of repairs to the house plumb- ! mg. There were very few emergency | jobs, necessitated by accidents to the i plumbing because Mrs. Hooper had j trained the children to be careful about | faucets and drains and by keeping the ; kitchen sink always free from grease i “fid the pipes well graided out with boil- | ing water and lye or washing so la, such “. thing as having the sink and wash basics stopped up in the Hooper house* hold was practically unheard of. Mrs. Chapin had told Mrs. Hooper only yesterday that her plumbing bills for the j year were always added to at least half a dozen times because every time she changed help in the kitchen the sink was stopped up regularly at least one* ano*aometlm*s two or three times during i the stay of each one. 1 Th# Mil for the fertilizer for tbe garden had also come In and reckoning up all the expenses connected with the front and back yard, Mrs Hooper found that twenty-four dollars and fifty cents of th* surplus In her "shelter" account would be needed to oettla It Later In the fall i abe wanted to nave a trellis bull* between the front and back garden which would serve as a sgreen, when it was covered with the ng rose bushes and vine* she Intended to plant. After paying all the upkeep bill* she expected to put some of the shelter "surplus" for the year Into this little Improvement, that would add innch to the beauty of the yard. The small monthly surplus In her food budget she always consumed st this time of the year In buying extra sugar for her canning and with the price* of this very necessary commodity getting lower, she was abje to buy Just a Uttle bit more this month than last and a wouderfully Increased amount over what had lieen possible for the past three or four years. Yesterday her fruit had given ! h **r considerable trouble, because it had I>:oved a little over ripe for jelly, and she had to make preparations to meet this emergency In her jelly making fog the rest of the week.
