It shouldn’t be difficult to go out and pick up a few bootleggers at almost any time. THE NEW Indianapolis fire fighting equipment is again to be displayed in a parade. Thus far it has not made much of a showing at fires. ...., ■* —— ■■ : ARE those mine delegates who spend most of their time waiting for their names to be called in those six-hour roll calls listed as members of the army of the unemployed? HOW does the Government reconcile its statements that some five million were idle a couple of nJonths ago, that the employment situation is Improving and that nine million are idle now?

speak Out , Mr. Ralston! } Four years ago the Democratic party of Indianapolis opposed both Mayor Jewett and the platform on which he ran for office and which has guided his administration of the city. Last April Mr. Thomas C. Howe went before the Republican party of Indianapolis with an indorsement of Mayor Jewett's administration and sought nomination on a pledge to continue the conduct of city affairs along what he was pleased to term the “business-like” methods of Mr. Jewett. In Irvington, Thursday evening, speaking from the same platform a3 Mr. Ralston, Edgar A. Perkins said that if Mr. Ralston is elected: “Those policies which "Mr. Thomas C. Howe enunciated will be carried out.” This statement of Mr. Perkins, which went unchallenged by the nominee, followed within a few' dj)ys the declaration by Mr. Ralston that: “We feel sure we will receive more Republican votes in this campaign than will our opponents.” Has the Democratic party of Indianapolis been completely reversed from its position of four years ago? Is Mr. Ralston running for mayor as the candidate of the Democratic party or not? According to his own statement he expects the Republicans of Indianapolis to elect him. According to the statements of his companion speaker he will, if elected, repudiate the position of his party four years ago, accept the platform of a Republican candidate who was repudiated by an overwhelming majority of the Republican party and endeavor to carry out the policies of the Charles W. Jewett administration. The public long ago expressed its disapproval of these Jewett policies to which Mr. Perkins now attempts to commit Mr. Ralston. In the Republican primaries Mr. Jewett declared the nomination of Mr. Howe was necessary as an indorsement of his administration. The answer was a two to one vote against Mr. Howe. Now, if Mr. Perkins’ statements are to remain unchallenged, then the Democrats of Indianapolis must reverse their position of four years ago, indorse the Jewett administration and accept as their platform maker Mr. Thomas C. Howe in order to support Mr. Ralston. For the benefit of those real Democrats of Indianapolis who have endeavored, amid a great many difficulties, consistently to support the principles of Democracy and to remain loyal to the Democratic party, it is sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Ralston will seize the earliest opportunity to repudiate Mr. Perkins’ definition of his position. If he does not, he leaves to the people of Indianapolis a sorry choice. For under these circumstances, those among us who, like the Daily Times, have no desire whatever to support the candidacy of Samuel Lewis Shank, are compelled to choose between Shank and an indorsement and continuation of the News-Jewett administration with fts garbage plant scandal, Its $2,000,000 increase In expenditures, its insufferable catering to the negroes and its acknowledged Inefficiency. Three Men of Great Ability! The State board of tax commissioners has resolved to assume the re sponsibility of revising the school tax levy for Indianapolis regardless 01 the fact that no remonstrators appeared at the hearing set for the purpose. Thereby, it assumes the responsibility for the eventual levy, relieving both the school board and the taxpayers of the city of any voice in the matter. The board has begun by cutting two mills off the levy for the teachers’ pension fund and it will, no doubt, lop off considerable more in its pursuit of the theory that there is given to it a sort of a divine authority to tell the taxpayers of this community how much of their own money they may spend for any specific purpose. It is not beyond the realm of reason that the tax board may find ways to reduce the levy and it is certain that it will, eventually, point to any such reductions as evidence of its remarkable ability to save the taxpayers' money. Thus, again, are we impressed with the peculiarity that a man from Rockport, another from Greenfield and a third from Irvington are infinitely better qualified to administer the affairs of the school city of Indianapolis than the five local residents who were elected by the taxpayers to handle them.

Fine for Parade Purposes! The belated discovery of Fire Chief Loucks that those twenty-five new and expensive fire pumpers recently purchased by the city are fitted with connections which do not match the connection of 293 hydrants In Indianapolis is typical of the News-Jewett administration. These pumpers, it will be remembered, were bought of the 3tutz Fire Engine Company after the company had submitted a second proposal to the city In which the purchase price was increased in the face of a falling market. Further, they were purchased in such numbers that the hoard of fire underwriters took occasion to make it plain that several of them were unnecessary and contributed nothing toward the reduction of fire hazards. Finally, in the absence of anything else that would fill the bill, they were lauded to the heavens as a tangible evidence of the benefit to the taxpayers of increased city expenditures amounting to approximately $2,000,000 in one year. Now, it is revealed, they are unfitted for use with 293 fire hydrants froin which they were supposed to pump water to quench fires! Taxpayers of Indianapolis may get some consolation, however, from the fact that- while these pumpers cannot connect with 293 fire hydrants they are beautifully painted and nickel-plated and will certainly make a splendid background for Mayor Jewett in the municipal parade Monday. 1 What 9 s Wrong Here? ' • A great dd&l of the difficulties of law enforcement in this el y have been attributed \ to alleged laxity in the Imposition of penalties by Judge Walter Pritchard \pf the city court. Members of the board of safety have, "-on several occasion* 9 , publicly criticised the city court Judge and attributed i the police failure to\°P® with law violatiors to lack of cooperation on his part. Yesterday, in Crtn-jinal Court, four Judgments of guilt made in the city coart by Judge Pritch; lrd were reversed by Judge Collins. In each of these rt^® rs als, Judge Collins made it plain that he did not regard the evidence snbm*\ e, 5 tts sufficient to warrant the conviction of the defendants. , Thus, it is disclosed that either Judge Pritchard is too mudh Inclined to eonriet (which the board of slf fe ty does not concede), or that the police are failing to present in CriminalVourt the same evidence which they have previously successfully presented e ; ty court [ either theory, it logically fotVowa that the criticisms of Judge Pritchard do not constitute an ▼hy the board of safety diffl"vlty in bringing about law violator*.

UPHOLDS CLOSED FISHING SEASON

Wabash Man Says Law Helps Fish Propagation. The secretary of the Wabash County Flsh, Game and Bird Protective Association has written to the State conservation department that public waters in that county teem with small game fish. Accompanied by two companions the party caught thirty-seven bass one day recently and only four of the catch were large enough to keep legally, he writes “This convinces me more than anything else that the closed season law prohibiting bass and bluegill fishing during spawning time is the best law ever written on our statutes for eonservaquatle life. These young fish were reproduced this past summer and as reproduction was natural they propagated by many thousands, all directly due to the closed fishing law,” he declares. Letters from many parts of Indiana to George N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish and game division, show that a majority of public waters benefited from this new law, and where at first it was in considerable disfavor, sportsmen now recognize its importance if we wish to augment piscatorial sport in this State.

Claim Remarkable Agricultural Results URBANA, 111., Oct. I.—The University of Illinois Is conducting experiments at its experiment field at Newton, the results of which are said to be marvelous, according to an announcement here recently. The experiments deal with soil fertility, drainage and crop fertility with the use of lime and rock phosphate. The field on which the experiments are being made was deeded to the unlversllly in 1912 and was said to be one of the poorest pieces of land in Jasper County. It Is the largest Roll experiment field in southern Illinois. Such results, the statement says, ns were made in treating land for growth of crops will convince the most skeptical that there are great possibilities In improving Southern farm lands.

Italy Lost 55,000,000 Days’ Work Last Year HOME. Oct. 1— Italy lost 55,000.000 day* of work last year because of strikes, according to figure* Just published by tha ministry of labor. This figure Include* labor disorder* of every kind—• wage disputes, loss occasioned by workmen from last July to September, and disorders in tho farming districts Wage disputes caused the major part of the loss, with 10,500,000 days. The eommunist agitation* of last year, when the factories were occupied, are calculated to hßve resulted in 10,000,000 lost days. Political strikes and other suspensions not Included In the other classes are said to have lost 15,500,000 dnys. Tbe textile workers engaged In 212 strikes, the largest number In any trade, throwing out of work nearly 150,000 workmen. The most costly dispute was that of the transportation workers, who had 137 strikes, affecting 241,350 work men, and losing 2,523,057 days of work.

There Is never a season whon 1 <m not find sports clothes interesting *n<m never a season when there is not some# thing really new among-them. I fanew that my love of them Is not fully ex) plained by my love of sports, but Is s sort of atavism—that I am barbarian enough still to revel in the gorgeous colors that are nlways permissible at the fountry club, no matter what we are wearing on the streets or in the evening. This suit, which esused my immediate downfall, seems to be conclusive proof of my theory. The full and pleated flannel skirt Is of the most entrancing clear scarlet, tho little hat of the same material, while the tailored blouse Is tho loveliest, deep, soft, corn color.

Now let me see. The tattered tramp, when we left off in the last story, was lapping on the kitchen door of the little white farm house in tho morning and the farmer, who had Just opened the front door to let Puss come In, had said. "I think somebody's knocking on the back door.” Well, of course he was right, for when he opened it, there stood tha poor tattered tramp. And what do you suppose happened? M hv, that great big kind farmer put out his hand and said, “Come In and rest.” And then he pulled the tattered tramp right into the kitchen and made ■him sit down by the fire while his wife got the breakfast. And it didn’t take her long, either, for she was one of those wives who did her part and helped her husband all she could, except bring in the kindling wood. And then the two children ran down the stairs, and when they saw Puss Junior—well, I wish I hud two columns to tell you what they really did say. But. wasn't It nice? They didn’t feel disappointed when they found out Puss was Just making a visit Just like the tattered tramp, you know. M'ell, after breakfast, the tramp told the farmer he would like to pay for h! breakfast by chopping up a cord of wood So the farmer gave him an Axe, and the tattered tramp—beg pardon, he uasn t q tattered tramp any more, for he had the farmer's old suit of clothes, you remember— went out and chopped all the morning, and then In the afternoon the farmer hitched up his team to the big sleigh wagon and they all went to church.—Copyright, 1921, David Cory, (To be continued.)

RAIL POINTERS SOUGHT FROM U. S. Australia Turns to This Country for Instruction. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct l.—Tbe Government operated railroads of Australia are turning to tno United States'for instruction in railroading. This was revealed with the arriral of five prominent Australian railway men o make an intensive study of American ways of handling materials and supplies, with a view of installing a similar system in their own railways on their return. Four of them represent the Victorian railways, with headquarters at Melbourne, and the fifth is with the New South Wales government railways. The visitors are: C \V. J. Coleman, chief storekeeper; W J Canny, outdoor superintendent; G. ri. Wlon, assistant engineer of signals H. Sergeant, stores urauch officer, ill of the Victorian railways, and \V. A. Clark, controller of stores of the New South Wales governmental railways. The Southern Pacific Company's system of handling supplies and materials, distributing supplies through the medium of a supply train, and the salvaging of worn and broken materials for further use has been selected for the study planned by the Australians. They will spend übout eighty days in the work of inspecting the Southern Pacific store departments and in going over various j parts of the Pacific system. They will j be taken to the Oakland and Sacramento stores and will be passengers on the company's supply train. In advising the Southern Pacific Com pany officials of the visit of the Australian officials. Harold W. Clapp, chairman of the board of commissioners for the \i. torian railways, explained the purpose of the officials as follows: “We an- not sending thesa officials on tour of America, Great Britain or any other country.
