FT should also be remembered that the Federal reserve board is to an extent responsible for things not beii\g worse than they are. ANYHOW, it is refreshing to find President Harding admitting that unemployment is the Nation’s biggest problem since the return to normalcy! A— j" THE MOST SENSIBLE thing Congress has done ir the last seven months is to postpone action on Army and Navy appiopnations until after the disarmament conference. They might have gone a step further and postponed them indefinitely. COAL PRICES to be kept low if U. S. can help—headline. It seems to be Alex Howat’s idea tbar the way to help is to quit digging coal so that the coal diggers won’t have sufficient cash to buy fuel and so the price will be so high the other "oppressed” working people can’t buy it. ONE of the strange political anomalies of the present time is the Republican national publicity bureau blaming the unemployment wave on the Underwood tariff law and in the same sentence admitting that it is still on the books. They neglected, however, to inform their readers that a Republican Congress has been in power since 1918 vested with full authority to write anew tariff law. Partisanship Wavering There are features of f Le present municipal campaign that indicate a wider departure from partisan lines than has ever been seen in this community. Mr. Ralston, Democratic candidate for mayor, declares that he expects to get more Republican votes than his opponent. Mr. Shank, Republican candidate for mayor, is quoted as sayirig at Evansville that the Democrats of Indianapolis will elect him. Thomas Garvin, Democratic candidate for police judge, is making his campaign through the league of former service men and is appealing to both Republicans and Democrats alike while candidates for the council on both sides are not emphasizing party loyalty in their efforts. The present Republican city administration has been repudiated by the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate is seeking support from it by refraining from criticism of its record. Headquarters of both parties are tinged with the Influences of men who have not always been “regular,” and it is truly difficult to tell how a voter will cast his ballot by reference to his previous political affiliations. There is, in this condition, much to confound the politician and little to worry the average citizen. Partisan politics never should have any great influence in a municipal election and it appears that partisan politics is having less influence In this campaign than in any that has preceded it. While it is best to discount the optimism of the candidates’ statements, there Is no denying that there is reason for consideration of both Mr. Ralbton’s claims of Republican support and Mr. Shank’s claims of Democratic support In fact, there are many observers who assert that' the winning of this election depends on the degree to which each of the candidates for mayor succeeds in cutting into what would normally be the partisan support of the other. It is violating no confidence to say that Mr. Ralston is more troubled by the deflection of Democratic votes than by the attitude of Republicans toward him. His organization is endeavoring more to line up Democratic votes than to convert Republicans. On the other hand, the Shank organiza'tfon is industriously engaging in the creation of “places In the sun” for voters with Democratic tendencies who have been attracted by the personality of the Republican candidate. The Democrats generally concede the Republicans to be in the majority in the city. They realize that to win this election they must have the full Democratic strength and a great deal of support from Republicans, or they must obtain extraordinary support from the Republicans to offset a considerable slump In their own party vote. Most of the Democratic leaders agree that there is no possible way to align the whole Democratic party against Shank. They pin their hopes of Ralston’s election on the chances of gathering to him a sufficient number of Republicans to overcome the Democratic deflection to Shank and the normal deficiency of the Democratic vote. Not since 1914 has this been accomplished by either party, but in that county campaign, when the Democrats had everything their own way, the deflection of Democrats from their ticket wag sufficient to give the Republicans a big margin. Political observers are wondering if, in this municipal campaign the pendulum is on its backward swing. —i C———————- , Let’s Have the Truth! J. Herbert Hartman, Republican candidate for city Judge, has been involved in the possession and disposal of property alleged to have been stolen by members of a gang of thieves. Whether his part In the affair is in violation of law or not remains to be ascertained. His explanation of relationship with one of the alleged thieves is that he acted as counsel for the man and his explanation of the possession of what is declared to be stolen property is that he was not aware that it was stolen property when it came into his possession. Throughout every step of the episode, it appears that Mr. Hartman kept the Indianapolis police department informed of the affairs and he asserts that he acted wholly in good faith. Mr. Hartman has for a number of years practiced in the police court and has represented clients of an unsavory reputation, as has every lawyer in this practice. So far as is known, however, his practice has always been legitimate and he is no more to be criticised for taking such legal employment than is John W. Holtzman for entering his appearance in the Criminal Court in the defense of a ring of auto thieves. Some surprise might well be expressed that the Republican party sought a candidate for the city court bench from the ranks of the police court lawyers of Indianapolis, but since it did do so, it will require more than an exploitation of the conduct of a client of the candidate to subject him to public condemnation. . If Mr. Hartman’s conduct has not In the past, been in strict accord with the law and the ethics of his profession, he should not be permitted to occupy the bench. We have prosecutors and a grand Jury to determine whether he is guilty of any offense against the State and we have a bar association capable of determining whether he has been unethical. It is up to these agencies to function in the case of Mr. Hartman as well as in any other similar case. This is a Democratic newspaper and it is proud of the character of Thomas Garvin, the Democratic nominee for police judge, whose candidacy it approved in the primary and has since sought to advance. Disgrace of Mr. Hartman would unquestionably advance the chances of the election of Mr. Garvin. A Obviously, a man who discloses no more ability to judge character than to make an intimate friend of a thief and furnish his home with goods obtained from a, doubtful source is not qualified to sit In Judgment on the thousands wha appear in police court. Mr. Hartman appears to have admitted his lacklof qualifications for the office Jie seeks in defending himself against an implied charge of participation iu the fruits of law violations. But the Daily Times jias never found it necessary or desirable to sacrlMce the square leal to partisanship and it will not now be led into a confirmation of Mr. Hartmaft’s character based wholly on the disjointed of a confessed criminal, repeated in a newspaper of clouded ownerembellished with the usual Armitage certainly

ASKS WHAT HAS^BECOME OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

Editor the Dally Times—Won’t you make one last appeal tor the good old ship, "Democracy,” which seems to be passing beyond the horizon In thlo city. We understood Thursday evening that there would be a Democratic meeting In our neighborhood, and as Democrats deemed It our duty to attend, and you may Imagine our surprise when the candidate’ for mayor, supposed to be the leader of the Democratic party In this city, In opening, said: “My fellow citieens and friends, now you note I did not say Democrats,” etc., and all evening he refrained from saying one word of the glory of the “old party,” and the Republicans that were there came away thinking “why Is a Democrat, any way?” We heard Candidate Ralston of the party of intelligence and morality praising ex-Mayors Denny and Bookwalter. and the present mayor, Jewett, which, In words not understood In Irvington, Is “going some."

date Ralston was when he said that he would add new names to the po,ice force every week. And this happening just when .the newspapers were carrying articles about the Chicago police force being one-half “bootlegger's” and the other half Democrats, 1 surmised that Irvlugi tonians were getting thirsty, j Such old-time Democrats as Theodore Porttcus, Ben Strickland, Judge Crutcher, Joe Hunter and Old Hickory Clark (and • his cane) were there, and they all looked groggy when they silently passed out with lowered heads. Also present were Hon. J ; Tom Meeker and Hon Cocky Shea of the 1 Intelligence and morality party. J The Hon. John W. Holtzman was the 1 ; second, or shortest, speaker of the evenlng. He also confessed that at times he ; had been a Democrat, and’told us how i his father had got redemption before he | died. He said “my father had been a strong Douglass Democrat, but in 1884 jhe voted to save the country." From ! our position iu the rear you could see 1 some of the necks getting red at those i words. The professors of psychology and bqard of strategy of the Intelligence and morality party have planned evtrything to a nicety. Can you Imagine the Hon. John IV. “getting away” with that In Jack Dunn's precinct? One person attending the meeting said “what was it? Was it a Ivu-Klux Klnu meeting? All 1 heard was about looking after some other person’s morals." And the next day we received a card, notifying us that we are Invited to attend “a executive committee meeting!” No party libel on the card. The word DemI ocrat Is “nowhere to be found." By the I “shades of Hendricks” and for the love of Wilson, who killed the old party? ■ Yours truly, lIEXDRICK KBNWOIITHY. VANCOUVER’S LUMBER MART IS WORLD-WIDE < Continued From Page One.) chines' show $175,000 a day wagered by the crowd. Cool headed citizens say Vancouver Ik 1! right. They declare this center had a fictitious wave of prosperity and now the depression is equally fictitious. The real trouble with Vancouver, they nay, Is that i! buys too much abroad and too llttl* at home. There are 500 concerns hcreoahout making goods British Columbia re- ' quires and SOO firms cater to domestic demands. Recently a questionnaire was sent to fifty representative industries In end about Vancouver as to whether the j local market could consume 50 per cent more of their products and If so bow many more workers they would employ and what additions would be necessary to their plants. ; The replies of these fifty manufacturers was that the local market could take from 25 to 1,000 per cent tnor/> homo pro,', ucts then It buys today; that 50 per cent increases would mean additions to i 1,098 skilled and SCO unskilled workers to their force* and all but two said they ■ could take care of the added business without Increasing their plants. OTHER FACTS THAT ARK TOLD TO WRITER. ' The gentleman who sent out this quesj tlonnalre told the writer that British ; Columbia purchased $63,694,000 of foreign merchandise In 1019 and approximately $67,000,000 In 1920-—-nearly all of which came from the United States and paid $10,000,000 additlorai on exchange and other charges. Advertising of American ; goods in periodical publications of Immense circulation, he said, had created an immense market for American articles in the British Columbia field nnd now In city and country it wag a habit. Not only that, he said, but British Columbla Imported from other Brit sh provi Inces In 1020, livestock of a valne of $3,934,007. meats for which it paid $1,357,i 642, poultry and eggs, $305,601; butter, chees and milk, $3,350,018; wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc, $8,920,305: hay, $164,594, and canned goods, $220 935. or a total of $18,002,931 for what It had in abundance at home. Some of the Illustrations given by th's gentleman are striking. He says onions I were Imported from New Zealand alI though 3,000.000 pounds of them were al- | lowed to rot In Okanagan. Million* of eggs were brought from China—one con- j slgnment making a train of twenty-six cars. OTHER STORIES MORE CHEERING. But there are other atortes more cheering to the Cana llan. Today In the prairie country to he east of here they are completing the mrvestlng of perhaps tho biggest crops Canada ever produced. The agriculturists are In funds Men are buying who have not been able to buy much In the last two years. In on# valley where only 4.030 rersons live 7.000 cari load* of apple* alor.c hare been produce?!. The wheat crop is of excellent quality In Vancouver Industries are broadening. The plants are small but there are many of them. These Include tractors i and a variety of automobile accessories. ! breweries, box factories, boiler*, cement nnd brick nnd elevators, paints, pipe fittings, roofing and shoot metal, tile, varnishes. t oots and shoes, lingerie, women's clothing, fur garments and gloves, i rnaeklnavs, sweaters, drugs nnd chemicals, fish canneries, baking powders, sodas, candles, dairy products, coffee, j flour mil's, fruit canneries, ginghams, parking house products, beddings, fur- i nlture of various kinds, furnaces, stoves, i mantles, soap, toilet preparations, *iir \ planes, babbit metal, bolts and nuts, j incubators, canning machinery, castings, j cigars, gasoline engines, Inks, leather [ goods, lenses, mill nnd mine machinery. 1 rope, cordage, saws, desks, tanks and j various tools, trunks and welding ap paratus. The government has sot aside $3,000,000 to assist promising Industries. COAL MIXTA ARE WORKING FELL CREWS. Vancouver's coal mines nro working full. The concentrate mill of the Britannia at tho largest copper mine In the j British empire, Is being rebuilt. A fire destroyed tho old mill. Tho lumber Industry, as horetofore stated. Is reviving. The Japanese have placed an order for 10,000.000 feet of box

shooks, the British admiralty Is jplac- [ ing an order for timber, and negotiations are under way for supplying the national railways of Mexico with a great amount of lumber. Vancouver people say the exchange situation favors them greatly In j foreign fields as against American comj petition and In Mexico the Ul-feellng against the United States gives a decided advantage to Canadian manufacturers. | Far Western Canada suffers more from j high railroad rates thau does the trans- ! mountain country in the States. It costs j more to ship stuff East than West and j even at that the rate West is staggering, i TJis rate situation is a sore one with I British Columbians. There is promise of a big paper and j pulp industry developing here. They j make good newsprint and kraft paper to- ! day, but in small volume. J Tbe shipping situation is better api parently than farther south. There are ' direct sailings now from Vancouver to Ugypt, India, South Africa, Australia New Zealand, China and Japan. The Canadian Pacific railroad fleet is big. So that of the Japanese companies. There were between eighteen thousand and twenty thousand unemployed last winter In British Columbia. There are . bout that number now. There was a bread line last year. Many of those supported were “floaters." The Van- | eouver people say it's bad enough to have to care for your own without supporting outsiders. And some of those in tbe line were well able to care for themselves. One man, who was arrested, had S4OO on his person. * Lumber plays such a largo part In j West Canada's affairs that unemployment matter hinges largely on it. If the i present activity broadens, there will not ,be much trouble caring for those unable to get work.

ANSEL DEFENDS CONNECTION IN BERGDOLL CASE Submits Review to Congress Claiming Law Firm's Action Justified . WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.--Samuel T. Ansel. formerly acting Judge advocate general, has risen to defend his connection with Grover C. Bergdoll and denounces the majority report of the Congressional committee which investigated the escape of the notorious slacker. In a-public stat/merit General Ansel announced a judicial review by “twelve distinguished lawyers” of the Bergdoll testimony was being sent to members of Congress. The review declares that the Ansel law firm was Justified in taking a retainer In the Bergdoll ease and in applying for permission for Bergdoll temporarily to leave the disciplinary barza-ks under Nation Aiding Dry Enforcement , Says Director Haynes Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—R. A. Haynes, Federal prohibition commissioner, Is ’’gratified’' over the support given “all over th# country” to tho enforcement of prohibition, according to th* Bureau of Internal Revenue. The statement enumerates the following forces a* assisting In carrying out the law: 1. “Many large newspapers,” regarded as "wet” In strong editorials supporting the low and “frowning upon those to encourage, by collusion, Illegal purchase of liquor.” 2. Smaller dailies which “teem with appeals’’ to support prohibition. 8. Some newspapers which refuse to publisp illustrations and cartoons depicting drinking. 4. Hotel managements lu "every section” which are establishing “Ironclad rules against u*e of liquor in rooms and hotel employes participating In the traffic.” 5. Moving picture theaters which are “banning drinking scenes” aud Inculcating through proper pictures respect for the lnw. 8. Addresaos of Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general, and Janjc* M.

After Connie was defeated she admits that her party made a mistake In “forgetting the women voters.” There is a lot of keen satire and delicate comedy in this new Taimadge movie. It is clean, lively and the subtitles are large and clear enough that one does not have to use a field glass to read 'em. I wish that other directors would follow the lead in this Taimadge movie and make their subtitles as easy to read. Miss Taimadge has some cute love scenes in this campaign movie. The ending of the movie is clever as a closeup of Miss Taimadge Is shown In such a way to give one the impression that she is talking directly to the audience which Is seeing the picture. The last advice to Connie Is for all women to get into poll tics and maybe they will land a “regular he-man” for a husband as she does In the movie.
