VICTIMS of the petty thieves who have overrun the city will agree that it was time the police conducted a clean-up. IP those “mysterious murders" continue in California the State may cease to be a playground for the idle rich. GOVERNOR McCRAY Is again called upon to decide whether the disturbances In Sullivan are State constabulary propaganda or a real rumpus. BALLOTS for the constitutional amendment election are now being distributed for the use of a vast number of citizens who do not know what they are all about and care less. PERHAFS that twenty gallons of "white mule” that disappeared after the police had been called to Thirty-Seventh street and Guilford avenue was cached for another seining expedition. FOR THE BENEFIT of visitors it might be explained that the wllu commotions jo often heard in the middle of the night are only the Indianapolis poll'e emergency squads sneaking up on the burglars. Common Sense In declaring it to be his opinion that Donn M. Roberts is not eligible to hold the office of mayor of Terre Haute, to which he now aspires as the Democratic nominee. Attorney General Lesh has given expression to common sense, the upholding of which should command every resource of the StateThe Indiana Legislature passed an act clearly defining eligibility to public office of any one who has been convicted of a serious breach of the Federal law. There is no question of the intent cf the Legislature and no question of the acquiescence of the majority of the people of the State in that intent. Indiana citizens are not particularly proud of Federal law violators. They respect the Federal law even to a greater extent than they respect the State law. There no disposition among them to condone offenses against the Gov'emment or to make martyrs out of Federal law violators. In the particular case of Donn Roberts no injustice Is done by the statute. Mr. Roberts was mayor of Terre Haute when h® was convicted. The offense of which he was convicted was no less a malfeasance in tt e , municipal office because It was a Federal law transgression. It Is Inconceivable that the citizens of Indiana should not be permitted to maintain a proper standard of public service because of the peculiarity of a part of one community that does not seem to learn through experience. The State is not without rights in the premises. Terre Haute can not be separated from Indiana. The city government of Terre Haute must remain an Integral part of the government of the whole State and since the citizens cf Terre Haute do not appear to be willing or able to protect themselves against an unfit candidate, it is right and proper that the State should interfere. Mr. Roberts disclosed himself as a man unfit to be mayor of an Indiana municipality when he entered Into the conspiracy that resulted in his conviction in Federal Court. By now aspiring to the office in utter disregard of the proprieties and the wish of the people of Indiana expressed through the Legislature, he has demonstrated that he is no more fit to hold the office of mayor of Terre Haute than he was when he lost it The State of Indiana has decreed that it wants no more mayors of the Donn Roberts type within its borders. The decree should be respected. Neglected Opportunity The consensus of legal opinion appears to be that through the surrender of Its franchise, the Indianapolis Street Railway Company has made Itself amendatory to regulation by ordinances of the common council. Consequently, the council, with undoubted power to regulate jitney bus service, appears to be In a position to solve, without restraint by any other part of the city administration, the transportation problems that are now confronting this city. In confirmation of this opinion comes the recent announcement of the street car company that it is not opposed to a contract with the city by the terms of which the general relationship of the company and the city might be defined. Here, then, appears to be an open way through which the city council of Indianapolis can, if It will, take up the transportation muddle with a view to bringing some order out of the chaos that the Jewett administration has permitted to exist for nearly four years. Possible solutions of the problem are many and varied. There would appear to be no reason why the company could not be placed in a position to give the citizens of Indianapolis the transportation which they desire at a reasonable rate of fare. The company is possessed of considerable property which might be of some value to the city of Indianapolis but which is of doubtful value to It as a transportation company. The city has the power to regulate Jitney busses and such regulation Is declared to be essential to the success of the street car service. The time is here when some governmental agency ought to be dealing with the local transportation question. The executive branch of the city government haa failed utterly to exercise power when It has possessed It. Now, ft seems that this power has been transferred through a series of developments to the legislative branch of the city government and still there Is no attempt being made to exercise it. If the city council has the authority to regulate street car service in Indianapolis by ordinance, as legal authorities now declare, the council ought to be exercising that authority. Abandoned Quarries In thinking over the desirability to acquire abandoned sand and gravel quarries for the purpose of making a lake and its attendant swimming beaches, it Is well to consider what another city In Indiana has done in this regard. Through some “fault,” as geologists say, of nature, limestone is very near the surface at Huntington. It has been dug as deep a3 thirty feet, when the coldest of spring water becomes so abundant it is more profitable to move and start another quarry than to maintain pumps. The hole fills with water. The closest lake to Huntington Is about twenty miles, and as the abandoned quaries are numerous, and near the city, bathers use them to swim in. One large place is fitted by a public spirited citizen with bathhouses and protection against getting in deep water. As many as a hundred bathers go in at once. There Is a ledge, where the water is shallow and warm. It is vary cold where deep. A story Is related that during the late war, a train of soldiers from California stopped a few minutes to change engines at Huntington. The weather was hot and the boys had been traveling for a week. Citizens supplied transportation to the pita and every one enjoyed a swim. The boys voted that city the best one east of the Golden Slate. The time may never come when every one from this city may go to a lake for rest and recreation. Then let the lake be brought to the individual, artificially, if necessary. Reassuring The release of Mary Doe, the mysterious young woman whofn the detective department sought to hold indefinitely because they suspected her of some law violation, will be a source of gratification to a great many people in Indianapolis. If nothing else, the failure of the detectives to have their own way in this case is an assurance that no matter how humble the citizen, citizenship does carry with It some rights. The only grounds for the arrest and detention of this girl, originally, was that she had attempted to sell a diamond ring. Her refusal to reveal her identity or to discuss her private affairs with the detectives was probably unwise but it can not be argued that tt was criminal. In fact, although put to their mo6t strenuous efforts, the detectives were unable to find anything that would support a criminal charge against her. And the court very properly interferred with the detectives' evident intention of treating her as a criminal until she proved hpr*°lf-otherwiga.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hooper*, an average American family of five, living in a gubu'ban 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 working on tbe budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical, follow them dally in an interesting review of their home lite and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat of living with them.) TUESDAY. "Do I seem to devote more time and energy to my housekeeping than you do to your business. Henry 2” asked Met. nooper. Tbe lamp had been lighted on the table on the perch; the children had gone upstairs to bed and Mrs. Hooper was finishing a white dress for Betty as Henry concluded an article In a magazine that he had been reading aloud. “1 should say that you didn't, at first thought," replied Henry, “but careful consideration of your question might result in my deciding that you did. Why do you ask ?” •Well, I am constantly being reminded by my friends and neighbors that I work all the time,” replied Mrs. Hooper. "Even Helen Intimated yesterday when I said we would spend the morning canning, that her days were much more completely filled with work, because of my system, if In my enthusiasm to make good a Job of housekeeping, as l would If 1 were dressmaking or teaching school. I may perhaps overdo It, and put more of my life into It than the result warrants.” ' v "Os course, you do keep going sll tue time,” admitted Henry. "You begin earlier in the morning and yon finish your work much later than I do, and you probably spend more hours in the house than 1 do in my office every week. Also there can be no doubt that you devote more time snd thought to planning than I have to do. which should consume very much more energy. Sc, perhaps, on the whole yon do give much more of yourself to your home than I do to my busl “On the other hand I have quite as much time for rest and recreation as you do," Mrs. Hooper reminded him. "You can't relax for a couple of hours In the afternoon every day, and 1 have my shopping diversion on Thursday and my club on Friday afternoons whllo you are talking at r desk. So that more than makes up for the extra time I work In the morning and evening ••Well, according to the way you figure it, then,” said Hemry, "You believe that yon have evolved a scheme ot living which divided pretty evenly between us the labor and responsibility of maintaining a home and bringing up a family.” "That is what 1 think.” admitted Mrs. Hooper, "but the majority of the women In Mayfield I know seal that 1 am entirely too absorbed in making the wheels go round In my own home. “Os course you do keep going all the time. Henry repeated. “And everything yon do has without doubt, as its sole object, some improvement that will benefit the family.”

“Well, Isn't that what you Hava la mind when you put in so many hour* a day in an office and devote the remit of your labor to maintaining a home properly?" asked Mrs. Hooper. "I have the Interests of my employer* a* a responsibility as well, yon know,” said Henry. "But I contend that 1 match that responsibility that you feel to the men who employ yon by my effort* to discharge certain duty to the community in which we live, and to Impress on the children that they hare an obligation | in that respect also.” | “And I believe that you do that to a* 1 great a degree as any woman In ilay--1 field,” responded Henry warmly, “The men of the town always give you the credit.” “But I don't satisfy the women,*' smiled Mrs. Hooper a bit mournfully. ”1 am constantly hearing little criticism* of my absorption which some of my neighbors call exclusiveness and other* •nippiness.” Mr. Hooper laughed as he rose and patted her on the shoulder. “Why shonld you care?” he asked. “But I do care very much,” replied Mrs. Hooper. Any kind of misunderstanding always troubles me. That’s why I’m trying to figure out wherein I am wrong if I am wrong.” "But what would these women have yon do instead of following your established motive?" he asked. “They think I should make neighborly calls, go oftener to the city to shop and to the matinee and let the children g* several times a week to the movies end patronize the drug store soda fountain daily. Oh, there are lots of little things I do that don't please them.” “Oh, bother," said Henry, laughing, “put np the sewing and take a turn In the garden. The moonlight is wonderful.” The menus for Wednesday are: BREAKFAST Blackberries Cereal Wa Cf les .

By David Cory Now let me see if I can remember where we left off In the last story. Oh now I know: Fnss Junior was In the castle of the Giant Merry Laugh, and the little yellow bird, whose name I’ve promised to tell yon so many times, was there and h3d just told Puss that she was the little yellow bird who had helped him so often on his travels. “Well." said the Giant, after stroking her feathers, “what adventures are yon now seeking, little Sir Cat?” “I'm in search of a magic herb to cure my father,” answered Puss. “He has the rheumatism and can hardly walk.” “Ah, I know where that magic herb grows,” said the GLant, “and Bright Wings shall lead you to the place:” So after a little while the yellow bird told Puss to follow her, and away they went to look for the magic herb. And after going for a long way they came to a rocky glen, where the little yellow bird stopped. Well, wbe hopped along the ground, looking this way and that way until at last she came to a little door in a big tree. And when she had knocked on it three times wtt.b her bill, it opened, and a little fairy dressed in green and gold stood before them. “What can I do for Merry Laughs’* little tyird?” she asked, and then she looked curiously at Puss, end almost closed the door, for I guess she had never seen a cat. with red top boots before. “My master wishes me to get the magic herb for little Puss Junior.” answered the yellow bird. And then the ltttile fairy laughed, for she wasn't afraid of Puss now. Well, after a'while, the little fairy went to a cupboard and brought out the magic herb and gave it to Puss. “Thank you. and may I be able gome day to repay you,” said Puss, and then he and s he little yellow birdtwent away, and in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1021.
