Burns & Smith, Inc. .V " ■ PERHAPS our Indianapolis police know best when it pays to investigate alleged confessions! WHAT has the tax board got against the next city administration and the next city school board? AS A campaign collector, Francis would have us believe that Herbert Hartmai is a great success! HOWEVER, barricading a bridge will not tend to give the taxpayers any return on their investment in it! NO ONE is likely to assert, however, that liquor found in the desk of a business man was being offered for sale! V-v ' ‘ ■v ISN’T IT strange that the necessity for investigation dfepends so much on the persons against whom charges are being made? 1 ■ ■. - , ■— AS MR. SHANK seems to realize, there is no more hazardous occupation than running for office in Indianapolis! _______________________ * THE NEW State superintendent of public instruction has some good ideas. The public will eagerly watch his efforts to carry them out. WHAT BUSINESS has a prosecutor acting as counsel for a woman who is subject to prosecution in the court where he is presumed to function? IF a signed and sworn confession is “only newspaper statements,” what in the name of common sense constitutes evidence on which to make an investigation? “FATTY” ARBUCKLE and one of his lawyers are reported to have split because the lawyer demanded ?50,000 and “Fatty” thought $5,000 was more reasonable. Apparently, the comedian sees a lot of lean years ahead. ON THE THEORY in operation in Indiana, that tax problem before Congress should be left to a commission representing Mexico, Jugo-Slavia and Japan, or any other three countries that the League of Nations or someone else might choose- / Why Protect Any One? The people of Indianapolis are entitled to complete investigation by every possible agency of the charges made by Frank Francis, Louisville prisoner, of law violations by politicians, election officials and policemen, as well as investigation of those charges made against J- Herbert Hartman and Samuel Lewis Shank. No justification whatever can be made of the very evident purpose of the members of the Jewett administration to attempt to prove Francis’ charges against Hartman and neglect to investigate his charges against the others whom he mentions. The Francis statement has been made public in its entirety. The Indianapolis police have already acted on information contained in it and Chief Kinney will find it extremely difficult at this late hour to hide behind the doubtful assertion that the police have nothing but “newspaper statements” and evade his plain duty to order an investigation of the conduct of members of his force. By no theory worthy of attention can the chief or any other public official attempt to read the Francis statement and declare that while it may be the truth in its references to Hartman it is not the truth in its references to members of the police force and others. Francis has either exposed corruption and law violation on the part of Indianapolis policemen and others of he is the most monumental liar that has ever spun a yarn for local consumption. - - It is up to Chief Kinney to investigate the whole of the statements made by Francis and then tell us what, if any, parts of it are true. In.addition to charging that Hartman received stolen goods, Francis charges that policemen aided him in delivering whisky to a polling placeHe charges that a lieutenant of police advised Hartman to leave town so that he would not have to pay election crooks for their services. He charges that two detectives were drunk on election night. He charges another city employe with accepting two bribes to deliver the votes of his precinct. He charges one man with having voted fifteen times in the primary. He charges one firm with .having received $1,600 worth of stolen liquor. He charges others with having bought stolen diamonds. He charges that an Indianapolis attorney “framed” the jail delivery in this city a year ago last July, which delivery has never yet been explained to the satisfaction of the public. In addition to the charges made under oath by FraDcis it has become known that the detective department of the Indianapolis police, under Inspector Fletcher were provided with pictures of both Francis and his wife, were Informed' that both were wanted for law violations and failed to arrest either, although Francis says he visited police headquarters in the course of his primary activities. It certainly is not to be expected that this community ■wtill condemn J. Herbert Hartman on the strength of Frank Francis’ statement and at the same time reject as untrue the charges made against others in the same statement. "What is absolutely necessary to the welfare of this community Is a complete unraveling of the primary affairs described by Francis. If J. Herbert Hartman is guilty of the charges made against him he should not only be defeated at the polls but prosecuted at the bar of justice. And by the same city employes and election participants are guilty as charged they should be ousted from the public pay roll and made to face the courts. Why are our board of safety and our chief of police so unwilling to Investigate any of the Francis charges that do not pertain to Hartman? Is the police department of Indianapolis afraid that an investigation of charges made against its members will reveal both Its incompetency and its corruption? Is it possible that only candidates for office are subjected to prosecution for law violations in this city? Let us have the truth about this Francis statement, no matter Vho Is involved! U. - Taxation, hut No Repr esentaiion! The gentlemen from Rockport, Greenfield and Irvington, who constitute the State board of tax commissioners- have given another exhibition of the superior qualifications which they claim to possess in consideration of the tax rates for Indianapolis. They concluded after mature deliberation that they knew better than the elected members of the school board and the city administration what sums of tax money would be necessary to operate the school city and the municipal city next year,-and out of their infinite wisdom there came a new tax levy which will have to suffice for the people of Indianapolis, although only one resident of this city participated in its establishment. Just to show that the three gentlemen know more about the municipal government than the officials whom the poor, blind populace of Indianapolis elected to office four years ago, the tax board took 2.5 cents off the municipal levy. Just to demonstrate that they had the power to cripple the IndianapGi.s school system and proposed to exercise It In retaliation for the refusal of the school commission to continue to employ the incompetent Mr. Hitt as business director, the gentlemen from out-State also deducted 7.7 cents from the school city levy. There is no use quarreling with them about it. The “best tax law possible under our Constitution” gives them the right to cripple the taxing units as they please. This is a part of the Goodrich “centralized government idea and the people of Indianapolis whose schools will suffer because of these three gentlemen may only recall Jim Goodrich’s pea: “I j want the power, you hold me responsible.” , Unquestionably, the schools will continue to function as efficiently as ( the tax board will permit. And some day, let us hope in the near future, the school children of Indianapolis will not be handicapped through the plenary power conferred k. on residents of either Roc’cport, Greenfield or Irvington, to overcome the best judgment of Ihe.men Indianapolis elected to manage their school affairs.

the club at each consecutive meeting for some time to como will be a consideration of a number of the subjects that were debated upon at the biennial meeting of the national Federation of Woman’s Clubs in Denver in June. “It is very essential,” she went on, “that all small town clubs like this one in Mayfield should keep in as close touch as possible with the activities of the big clubs the large cities so that our efforts fr civic and social betterment, as wen as toward self culture, should bo along the same broad lines as those of the women in the larger cenlers.

I should think tha milliners would be at their wits’ ends to satisfy us—and sometimes when I see the results I think they are. Not that the accompanying sketch does not please me—they arc charming bats—but certainly strange beyond belief in the matter of trimming. Our upper hat is of dark blue trlcolet. an innovation in itself, and it is trimmed with disks of the finest kid, blatantly scarlet.

Lay them upon a folded towel and pull straight. Have ready several pieces of fine, eoft, old flannel. Dip one in skim-milk, rub upon mild soap—preferably castlle —and wash the gloves, working towards the figer tips. As soon as the flannel becomes soiled, throw it into warm water and soak, and take a clean bit. Go all over both sides of each glove in this way until the flannel brings away no more dirt. Wash off with clean flannel wrung out in the milk with no soap. Lay between the folds of a clean towel and leave until next day. If they are cleaned on the hand the work is easier and better done. DRIPPINGS. Save fat odds and ends of cooked meats, and skim every particle of the congealed greaee from the top of gravies, soups and the liquor In which ham and other large pieces of meat are boiled. Bring slowly to a gentle simmer over tbs fire, and strain, without rubbing, through a fine soup sieve or cheesecloth. When firm put In the loe chest and keep for frying or flavoring gravies, soups, etc. Mutton and lamb fat must be excluded from the “trying out” pan.
