DEMOCRATS TO SUPPORT ARMS CONFERENCE ■Cite Law Enacted in 1916, Pav- ■ ing Way for Such a & Parley. I By WALUCX BASS FORD. I WASHINGTON.-Oct. 3.—Democrat* in ■Ctmgress are hoping for the success of Ith* coming conference for reduction of [firmaments. They very properly take fpride In It as a Democratic achievement. Those who think of It as a Republican move for popular approval have forgotten, ! In the hurly-burly of events, the history of the movement. A brief outline of that history will show that President Harding did not discover the Idea, any more than 1 Doctor Sawyer has discovered a cure for golf. As recently as last spring the Presl- j dent was much upset by Senator Borah’F resolution directing him to call such a conference. And the latter did not himself discover the idea, any more than Laddie Boy discovered the Dog Star. WHOLE IDEA DEMOCRATIC. The whole idea of such a conference to reduce the terrific burden of armaments Is Democratic. Champ Clark preached it off and on for twenty-five years, but It took another Missouri Democrat to pit the concrete idea Into the naval bill in ' 1916—five years ago. It was first offered by Representative Walter L. Hensley as a resolution and was then incorporated In j the naval appropriation act of 1916, and can be found In volume 39, part 1, page 1 618 of the United States statutes at large I quote here the most important part of the law: “It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to adjust and settle its International disputes through mediation or arbitration, to the end that war may be honorably avoided. It looks with apprehension and disfavor upon a general Increase of armaments throughout the worldt but It realizes that no single nation can disarm and that without a common agreement upon the subject every considerable power must maintain a relative standing in military strength. “In view bf the premises, the President Is authorized and requested to invite, at an appropriate time, not later < than the close of the war In Europe, all the great governments of the world to send representatives to a conference, which shall be charged with the duty of formulating a plan for a court of arbitration or other tribunal, to which disputed questions between nations shall be referred for adjudication and peaceful settlement, and to consider the question of disarmament and submit their recommendation to their respective governments for approval. The President Is hereby authorized to appoint nine citizens of the United States who, in his judgment, shall be qualified for the mission by eminence In the law and by devotion to the cause of peace, to be representatives of the United States In such a conference.” The law went on to appropriate $200,000 Curiously enough. President Harding asked for the same amount for expenses of the conference. < H ‘ Ml* CLARK SPOKE FOR MEASURE. When the Hensley provision was up In the House, Speaker Clark left the chair to take up the cudgels for It, aiding Hensley to put it through. The chief opposition came from the late Augustus P. Gardner, son-in-law of Senator Lodge, who is now on the conference committee. The dbeate can be found in the Record of the Sixty-Fourth Congress, vol. 63, part 9, beginning at page 9343. This piece of legislation was also passed by the Democratic Senate and signed by the Democratic* president, and is now the law as "much as in 1916. When the war was over and the treaty of Versailles was being made President Wilson had the idea inserted in that treaty as article 8. This did not make It any more acceptable to the Republicans; In fact, the whole idea of such a conference seemed utterly repugnant to the Republicans until President Harding took It up and fostered it as his own idea. * * * McKinley. Roosevelt and Taft all tried their hands at 'breaking tbs solid South,” a very popular outdoor sport. Now, Harding is trying it. His friend, Colonel (paper title) Anderson, is running for Governor of Virginia, aided by ample funds from the Republican National Treasury. In a speech the other day he said that when distributing Red Cross feed to the people in the Balkans the women and children would kiss the flag on his automob.le, but that he felt that he was perpetrating a fraud on them when he reflected that one of the star 6 on that flag stood for the State of Virginia, and more to the same effect. He was answered by Judge Huntley, whose son was desperately wounded In a Virginia regiment at the battle front. The solid South may be broken, but it will not be in Virginia in this year of grace, SHANK OUT TO BEAT JEWETT, k 5,000 ARE TOLD (Continued From Page One.) Perkins made \t a meeting in Irvington last week. "You ail know that I got the Republican nomination because the people didn’t want Charley Jewett's candidate, Tom Howe. You didn’t x want Tom Howe. RALSTON RUNS ON HOWE PLATFORM. “And now Boyd Ralston Is out saying ‘l'm running on Tom Howe's platform.' ” Mr. Shank evidently referred to Mr. Perkins’s speech, which Mr. Ralston has not repudiated, in which Mr. Perkins that the things Thomas C. Howe stood for In the primary were in reality the platforms of Mr. Ralston and himself. The two were opponents for the Democratic nomination. “If Boyd Ralston can’t do better on Tom Howe's platform than Tom did, he’d better quit right now,’’ continued Mr. Shank. “That’s a funny line-up anyway. Who’s writing Boyd's speeches for him? AVhy the News and Joe Bell. The News and Joe Bell are both supporting Boyd Ralston. And you know the News tried to send Joe Bell to the penitentiary. I wonder how the News can support Ralston when Joe Bell is writing his speeches and I wonder how Joe Bell can write ■p •eches for Ralston when the News Is backing him. “Yes. and there’s Frank Baker—Frank Faker, I call him, because I know him — out making speeches for Ralston.

Mothers ’ Requests Denied by U. S. Printing Economy

Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE UKtIXEL. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Because the United States Government has cilt down the appropriation for printing, thousands of mothers who wish the children’s bureau pamphlet on Infant care must go without It. That Is the situation facing Mias Grace Abbott as she sums up her duties as new director of the children's bureau In the Department of Labor. Miss Julia Lathrop, who was appointed by President Taft when the bureau was established In 1912, resigned a short time ago. Last year 255,000 of the pamphlets on infant care were sent from the bureau. About 4,000 Individual mothers each month wrote In for It, other requests coming from State and local health officers, members of Congress who send it out on receipt of lists of births reported, child welfare centers, clinic*, the Red Cross and private physicians and nurses. OTHER PAMPHLETS ON INFANTS SOUGHT. Besides the pamphlet on infant care, the other most popular pamphlets is*ued by the bureau for Individual mothers Is one on pro-natal care and another on child care. But alas, thousands trpon thousands of mothers will haTo to do without because the printing fund of the bureau for this year Is only $36,000 as against $56,000 for last year. This means It will be necessary to cur-

know how the News used to rawhide Frank. Fcgnk s out supporting Ralston, too. NEWS TO RUN BAKER AGAINST COLLINS? “And say, Boyd Ralston was on the Federal grand Jury and voted to indict the News. You know, boys, I Just got an Idea, honest to goodness I have, that the News Is figuring on running Frank Baker against Judge Collins next year.” The crowd laughed. “Now. I’m houest about that,” Insisted Mr. Shank. “But. you know boys, I Sihink that Frank’s losing Boyd votes every t'ne he makes a speech. Say, I, don’t know. Maybe Frank knows he's losing Boyd votes and really is for me and he’s out doing it Just to help me. “Oh, I don’t know Just how they're *ll twisted up. Can you figure It out, Newt?” appealing to Newton Harding, who sat on the Breaker’s stand. T can’t. It's got me,” answered Mr. Harding and the crowd roared. His extemporaneous remarks about law enforcement were prefaced with the state’ment that If all Mr. Ralston has been telling about him were true people would have to believe that “all Indianapolis is going to be turned into a white mule river and everybody is gof.ig to drown in it.” He repeated his assertion that police have got enough to do to keep Indianapolis clean without going out In the country to take care of the duties of the sheriff and Federal officers. POLICEMEN KNOW AEL BOOTLEGGERS. Policemen can catch bootleggers Inside the city if they want to, he said, because “every cop who has been on the force six months knows the home address and the way into the back door of every bootlegger In town. A cop can't fool me. I know 'em.” NVhlle he was golDg to be vigorous In enforcement of the law Mr. Shank said he was not going to have his police department doing things like locking up small hoys In “that lousy Jail’’ for shooting craps. He pulled a tow headed urchin In overalls who was standing in front of the speaker’s stand up on the platform beside him and said that four such youngster* as this lad were locked up more than twenty-four hours unable to furnish SSOO

There were 3,450 fires, most of which could have been prevent, dby proper safeguards—just a few well directed shots from an extinguisher being all that is often necessary even in case of .a fire. The shingle is a big fire hazard. Insist upon Neponset or Johns-Manville Shingles for your new roof. Insulate with Asbestos Board or Paper where woodwork is close to heat.

iThis “Puts Out” Fires Quickly It is a flra extinguisher that contains a powerful fire-killing liquid.

It is a large truck, carrying a doctor, nurse clerk and chauffeur. In fact, it is a miniature hospital, with facilities for measuring. weighing and otherwise examining infants. CHILD WELFARE SPECAL POPULAR. The child welfare special has gone through several States, mainly In the rural regions. Posters are sent on ahead and mothers come for miles to have their babies examined and ask advice. Miss Abbott said the bureau now is engaged in making two Important surveys, one on the labor of rural children, such as In truck and market gardens in Maryland, and another on vocational guidance and placement for children. The new director of the children’s bureau brings a wealth of experience to her post. She has worked at Hull House, Chicago, and been a member of the Illinois State immigration commission. Prior to that she served on the Massachusetts State immigration commission. She also 1 familiar with her present work, having been connected with the children’s bureau earlier In Its existence.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

I think it would havo been a great deal better for tho boys and Indianapolis if that policeman had taken them homo and told their parents to give them a darned good spanking. Those boys were at the age when they were either going to go right or wrong and you’ve got to be careful how you handle them then.” Referring to Mr. Ralston’s charges that the Republican campaign is backe i by all the gamblers In town, Mr. Shank repeated his charge that Mr. Ralston Is m old hand at poker, but a poor one ana that he knew it because he used to play with Mr. Ralston before he (Shank) got carried. I MAY BE DEACON ; BUT PI.AYS POKER. j “He can't scud around hero as a deacon in the Presbyterian Church and keep on ! going around playing poker,” he dej dared. I In reading hi* manuscript, Mr. Shank could not refrain from Interposing characteristic asides. He said he was reading the cpeech because he wanted the “Indianapolis News to tell the truth once In eight years.” At another point he pauaed, glanced over his copy and then waving his arm, declared: "Boys, this is a dandy," and then went on reading: “My opponent said in his opening speech that he would, if elected, wage relentless war on the bootlegger.

Weil I know It’s bad. I've known it for thirty years. My teacher in the common grades told me It was bad. So did ,my high school teachers. Why, the last time I passed in the darned stuff I only got 65. I Just couldn’t learn tho blamed stuff.” . Mrs. Arthur Robison was temporary chairman and Omer U. Newman permanent chairman. E. J. Robison spoke Upon the Republican city platform and Newton Harding pledged the Shank ad ministration to sound financing and strict economy. All' of these speakers dwelt upon Mr. Shank’s record for honesty. Mr. Robison said Mr. Shank had made mistakes, but “an honest mistake can be generously forgiven.” Republican meetings for tonight are as follows: Fourteenth ward.
