' THAT MAN who explained he attempted to kill a woman because he loved her is carrying cave man tactics to an extreme. ' PERHAPS Senator New thinks his Indiana constituents will favor the idea of taking the tax from one place and putting it in another. EXTRA, the councilmanic candidates and Lew Shank fought a war and declared a truce, but neither side knew of the hostilities. AS WE UNDERSTAND the police department, the way to get a prisoner into Indiana is to advise his custodians not to bring him into the State! MR. ESCHBACH'S FAILURE to spend all the accounts board appropriation might also be regarded as a failure to make all the examinations desired or desirable! MR, RALSTON ses no political significance in Mr. Perkins’ statement that he is running on Mr. Thomas C. Howe’s platform, but there are a lot jof Democrats in this city who have better foresight! SECRETARY HUGHES fears there will be discussion of Europe’s debt at the peace conference. A good way to limit armaments would be to insist on the diversion of armament appropriations to the payment of this debt. THE OUTSTATE tax commissioners, who know more about our school system than the school beard members, doubtless have a way to avoid the loans made necessary by their cut in the tax levy! Unfulfilled Promises! The Republican party, in power, has been called upon to make good and has so far been unable to do so, according to a summary of the work of the national Administration, written by W. D. Boyce for the Saturday Blade of Chicago. Mr. Boyce says: “The first promise was a high protective tariff, which would make everybody in the United States rich and give work to everybody. This time-worn cry had elected every Republican President for sixty years, and did again, but so far no tariff bill has been passed and since this country became an exporting instead of an importing nation, we are in no hurry to make it so expensive to manufacture in the United States that we cannot compete with any other country and will be limited to a home market alone. I know a farmer who says he had two sons so almighty smart that he could lock them up in a room by themselves and they would make $4 a day trading with each other. The people of the United States now know that is impossible and that we must have foreign markets or go backward. There was a time when we required a high protective tariff, but that day has gone by, and my belief in it. It only makes the rich richer and adds to the cost of living of the average American. The class to be benefited is demanding this “promise” be carried out and this is one of the chief causes of the awkward position in which the G. O. P. elephant finds itself “Both parties promised before the last election to provide for the back pay due our brave boys who were drafted to fight in Europe’s war- The present Administration has failed to carry out this promise; in fact, voted down all bills for back pay. or ‘bonus,’ as it was called. This ‘promise’ is worrying the G. O. P. elephant more than anything else. The 3,000,000 (three million) soldier voters and their friends will be heard from. “One promise of the G. O. P. elephant has been kept to the general satisfaction of the public. This is the new immigration law, restricting the number of incoming aliens to 3 per cent per annum of the citizens of each country x who were in the United States in 1910, as shown by the census of that year. This law cuts in two the number of immigrants arriving in the United States and leaves more room for our own unemployed. It is believed that an amendment to this law, under which United States agents would pass on all immigrants before they left their native land, would be a good thing for everybody; then no one would be turned back upon arrival here. “A promise that has not yet been fulfilled was to take the excess or sur-tax off the great incomes of the very rich, but if the leaders in Congress can keep this promise they will—and if they do, it will likely put them out of business, as the money to run the Government will have to be raised some way and if not paid by those who have had the greatest protection from the United States laws, it will have to be paid by the poorer classes of people. The result of having made this promise to the rich, who put up the campaign money, is frightening the G. O. P., although ■afely up the tree. “Each party promised to end the war with Germany, which required a declaration and treaty. This is now before the United States Senate and the way the G. O. P. ends it, if without Indemnity or a promise to pay the people of this country something, may not meet national approval.”

Are They Afraid? Frank Francis, Louisville prisoner, has confessed a burgiary in Indianapolis and involved several others in his confession. Due to the inefficiency or deliberate neglect of the local detective force under Inspector Fletcher, he left the city after having hobnobbed with our policemen and others. He was arrested in St. Louis and returned to Louisville, where he faces burglary charges. The penalty for burglary is more severe under Indiana laws than under Kentucky. It is not likely that even Jaipes A. Collins could find an excuse for suspending a sentence imposed on Francis in this county. And there is every likelihood that the conviction here of Francis would insure justice for those persons Francis says assisted him. Under these circumstances it is natural to presume that the police of Indianapolis would exert their best efforts to bring Francis back to Indianapolis for trial. But instead of so doing Inspector Fletcher notifies the authorities at Louisville that he might be compelled to seize Francis and detain him here if Francis comes here as a grand jury witness. Why all this unusual effort to avoid bringing a confessed burglar to trial in the courts of Marion County? Why this failure on the part of the police to arrest Francis when he visited them at headquarters and they had in their possession pictures of him and the information that he was ‘“wanted?” Why the refusal of Chief Kinney to investigate the very evident inefficiency and the openly charged corruption of policemen? It would appear that in an effort to explode a political bomb certain Republicans have laid a train fuse that threatens to set off a mine of scandal. And right now the police force is industriously trying to stamp out the fuse rather than permit the explosion. Is the Jewett administration which has boasted of its “cleanliness” for years, afraid to bring a confessed burglar to trial in Indianapolis for fear he will uncover corruption in its own ranks? The Results of Booze Running When a mysterious killing occurs nowadays, the police lay it to “booze running” as a matter of course; and there is always a fair chance that they are right, says the Chicago Journal. Booze running is smuggling, plus the illicit transportation of wet goods within the nation’s boundaries; and smugglers never have been noted for tenderness. He who buys smuggled liquor is hiring someone to break the law; and the man who breaks one law for pay is not likely to hesitate at breaking another, if his safety seems to require it. No matter what one’s feelings about prohibition may be, this fact should give the decent citizen pause. ... The eighteenth amendment is unpopular with a large part of our population, and the Volstead act is resented bitterly by many people who would not object to a more moderate statute. None the less, the amendment is part of pur Constitution, the Volstead act remains the law until repealed or superseded; and it is the duty of good citizens to uphold the Constitution and obey the law. If this consideration is not enough, remember that the respectable citizen who employs a bootlegger may wake up any morning to find himself associated with a murderer.

Howard Cadle Ex-Gambler, Saloon Bum and Wreck, Tells How He Came Back

BUILDS TEMPLE TO REVERENCE MOTHER’S NAME Structure to Be Dedicated Next Sunday by Gypsy , Smith. HAS CAPACITY OF 10,000 By JOE KELLY. They do come back—sometimes. E. Howard Cadle, head of a chain of shoe repair stores, is a physical, business, social and spiritual come-back, with an income of $2,000 weekly, aud with the big idea of spending all he makes and all he will make in helping others to the regeneration. Less than seven years ago I chatted with E. Howard Cadle, chatted as a newspaper reporter chats with human specimens, seeking a point-of-view. Then he was a porter in a saloon In indiaffapolls, in the co-salled sporting district, and he told me he was down all the way and out completely, earning $8 a week “and drinks,” with a wife and two children to support, and this word from the physician —that he had six months to live. Cadle, the come-back Is the president of the American Shoe Repair Company, headquarters Indianapolis, with four stores in the loop, Chicago, two in Louisville, and one in Cincinnati. Dayton. Evansville, Ft. Wayne and Terre Haute He is vizualizing a chain of one hundred of these stores and planning for their development. Cadle, of the old life, was a sure-thing gambler a smooth con man, a craps shoot er, a wonder-worker with the dice, a wizard with the cards—a hound after the easy money of the sucker. The Cadie of the new life j 3 business man, social worker, Sunday school teacher and evangelist, with this ambition—to have the fun of spending all he earns in business in reclaiming the down-and-outer. One of memory to his mother, Mrs. Loretta Cadie, he built the memorial tab-

ernacle, that the work of the reclamation of mnn might go on in this community The Cadie Tabernacle, which will be dedicated Sunday with elaborate ceremonies, and with Gipsy Smith, the fa mous English evangelist, preaching the dedicatory sermon, will seat 10.000 The ground was purchased at a cost of 10.". 000 and the building at an approximate cost of $75,000. The building was designed by Hugh L. Kevin of the firm of Kevin, Henry 4 Wiachmyer of Louis ville. Its accoustieg are perfect, Mr. Kevin being an expert on that feature of public buildings The building is constructed after the old missions, the Ohio street front being modeled after the front of the Alamo, In San Antonio the historic cradle of Texas liberty. The interior is pr inted in old ivory with blue decorations. The building will have a choir loft to neat 1.000 persons Assembly rooms to accommodate 500 people will be built un der the platform pulpit The tabernacle, while erected primarily for religious purposes, will also be used In an educational and industrial wavin housing exhibits, shows and expositions and in musical concerts To bar all prejudices, the building will be Interdenominational in character. The building wan dedicated to his mother, because he traces his conversion to her prayers. In his office in the Unity building, Indianapolis. Cadle showed me a letter from a lifer at Michigan City, a former Terre Haute man, who, full of booze, imagined that a man had wronged him, and shot him to death. "They’ve thrown the keys away on him," said ('adle. "Rut eliminating the effeets of the booze, he's not a criminal. Crazed for a moment—then the deed, telrible as It was and society locks him up for the rest of his life. How many of us have been through the same moment, but somehow escaped without sending n soul to eternity, without wrecking our own or the lives of every one dear to ns.

When the Cadie tabernacle is dedicate and Sunday afternoon by Gipsy Smith, noted English evangelist, Mrs. Loretta Cn die, in whose honor the tabernacle was built by her son, , Howard Cadle, will be present at the ceremonies.

The boy Is to repay her and I'm to advance him the money. The kid sees lie's in wrong and he says he'll go straight from now And if he will go struight he ought to have the chance.” Cadle grew to manhood on his parents' farm at Fredericksburg, Ind . about midwry between Indianapolis and Louis ville. He was appointed a deputy in the off er of the State fih and game commissioner when .T Frank Hanly was Governor of Indiana. i la'er became a traveling salesman.” sai l Cadle, "but somehow with the lure of pok-r and the grip of the craps games, legitimate business became dull—too dull. Gambling was easier and had more thrills. And suckers were numerous. Why not make a business of gam'.'log? “I es'ahllshed slot machines in >-!tVs in southern Indiana and in bordering part* of Kentucky and Illln is- machines fixed to return big and certain winnings. They called me 'the slot maehlne It’ng.' Around French Lick and West Baden my slot machines lured visitors who courted the chance for easy money. They never got it from mv machines. Os course, they won sometimes, but If they kept at it. the percentage was so much against them that they playe 1 it all bark Into the machine. "Profits were enormous. I wanted a little gambling ‘class' and established games at Louisville and Indianapolis. No limit in either Whatever a man wanted, he could get I have thrown crap* for a thousand and more, and won as much betting I could 'come' on n four. "The sucker at one game may Ue the wise hoy at another. In the toyns of French Idck and West Baden. 1 used to watch wise professional gamblers, supposedly schooled In all the ways of the crooked business, trying to beat my slot machines—trying to win the big prize when tin machines were fixed against them "The crooked gambler L the one easiest skinned at the other fellow's game. I bought a pair of crooked dice from a man one time and he told me that the dlee would 'work' but that I'd have to practice with them. He oont a man around to trim me—and he did trim me. The dice were erooked, but they wotildn'* do ttie thing I was betting they would do ” Cadle in the hey-day of his sporting prosperity operated the wine room over , i ri is ilo,m. v hero he as a derelict of the snorting world, later served as porter.

I Cadle. "but for me, it was the booze and the women. With me. ns what the Scotch man Harry Lauder tells about 'lt was a gift’- the drinking The brain became dulled and the business went. The gam Ming cunning was lost the cunning to deal a card or roll the dice. “It was the old story. The ship was wrecked and there was naught for me. but the Job as porter, salary $s a week and drinks. And then the word from th l j physician that six months would be about ] all for me. "I went homo to die —homo to mother and fathe-, with my wife nnd two chlldron. Certainly It was an ignoble reft,rn. But the parental welcome! The prodigal son Is always welcome. Mother had prayed for me nil those years, ns mothers are eternally praying lor erring sms! “ ‘Though yopr sins be as scarlet.’ she j said to me, nnd followed her quotation I with ‘He that can take away your sins can heal you. Put your trust in Him.’ | “As I wept in mother's apron that day, I saw- the light and vowed that { whatever I would do from thnt time, if the Lord would let me live, would be In His name.” After some months on the farm, Cndle's health returned sufficiently 'o permit him to go back to Indianapolis to make his living. He went first to the winerooms, nnd the gambling houses arid the saloons —met his friends— nnd told them of his resolution for the new deal. “Every one of these fellows grasped my hand and told ine they were glad for

Ime and to keep it up. f needed a Job — | a Job of real work. And a frequenter ] of the wine room hired me ns collector for his tailoring shop, a shop which sold loud clothes on payments to bar tenders, gamblers and denizeus of the 'levee' district. j "I had to frequent saloons to make the collections. It was In the Bock beer seai son and 1 had been fond of Bock beer. Mr first fl-ht was to beat my appetite for Rock beer, but I won.

I bought It from an insurance f rie',d of mine who did not know how sl< k I was and took my w rd for It that I was well. I had made application f r 5100 benefits—four weeks' Illness, but never went after the money This friend called me up i op day and told me the money was waiting for me. The devil toid me to fake the money. And how I needed that UK) bucks! But the conscience—the new man in me—said not to. I won that batt'e with a knockout. T told my friend, You don't owe me a cent.’ The percentage was still 1.000. j "It's not always easy to be on the lorM. I was selling a suit of clothes one Saturday night and the customer asked ime if the suit was all wool. The boss heard me perhaps we lost the sale -and came to me in wrath, saying, ‘You got to cut this religious stuff in business. It'll never gt you anywhere. You could hare sold him that suit if you had used the judgment of a good salesman.’ That Job. I saw. was no place for me. and I quit. "I obtained a job with a baking company. I had told the Lord 1 would give Him my tenth The salary was larger nnd I wrfg feeling real prosperity—honest prosperity. “And one day I bought a Ford—borrowed the money for It. I paid 5200 for a second-hand machine, drove it until I knew something about motor enr mechanics. I answered an advertisement ■ for a ‘li\e wire automobile salesman,' and got the Job, selling mv Ford in a trade-in on the new machine for $350 1 did not quit the job with the linking company, but sold automobiles in passing. The first day I got an order, nnd the commission was stl2, and another the second day. That was going some 1 soon quit the Job with the baking company. In eight months I was sales manager for that company. "Later, the president of the company manufacturing the enr I was selling asked me to lake the State distribution for bis car. T don't know much about the religious life you have been talking about, but you're the kind of a man wv want representing us,' he said, lie told Us how much money would be required to finance the company. Through the kindness of an ludiatiqjioUs bank and a friend who invested *5,000 in qur company, we were able to show enough resources to warrant the contract We were successful until the United States' entrance into the World War. “I was selling a car in one of the old- ! time shoe repair shops one day nnd the thought came to me that if shoes were I repaired In downtown places*where there ! was an air of cleanliness nnd welcome. ' with waiting rooms for women, business could lie done on a larger basis and shoes could bo repaired cheaper. With the high price of leather and the stiort supply, it seemed a big social service if shoes could be reclaimed. “The first store was established in Indianapolis. I had four business associates. When I wanted to expand they objected and I thought of my friend Governor Goodrich, and of what he said j to me on the train between Indianapolis and Louisville when I told him the story of my life. “ ‘Come to see me and I may be able ! to help you,' he said after the story, a I story which brought big tears to his eyes. “I did go to see him one day, told ! him I wanted to purchase the interests j of my associates—that I wanted to ex j pand and they could not see it. I told | him Ii needed $30,000. And Governor j I

Goodrich phoned a banker to let me have the money I needed. “ ‘Governor,’ I said to him as I went out of the door of his office, ‘Governor, I’ve seen the day I would have knocked your block off for the level.’ “That was the start of the American Shoe Repair Company's chain of stores. “The cities and the locations for these stores I pick myself, but never without the help of the Master. When I have 100 of these stores, all making money, see the fun I can have spending the profits helping the fellows who need it. “Most of us need to learn how to pray. Y’ou can’t get away with a selfish prayer and most prayers are too selfish. Once at Bedford, Ind., I prayed to be allowed to win at poker In a game where men from the stone quarries were playing. On the way to that game I passed an oid blind man, grinding out music from an organ and singing a song I used to hear my mother sing. I dropped a dollar into hi? box. When I saw the look of thankfulness on the man's face I felt good. And I thought that after that the Lord ought to let me win that night. I want broke betting a deuce full would win. Four fours did it.” “We’ve got to get better acquainted with our neighbors,” said Cadie. “This larger acquaintance ought to be part of the Americanism we talk about. See where radicalism la most rampant and see how much devotion is given its devotees. Get rid of rebellion everywhere by the spirit of less selfishness. Get more sincerity into our lives —more religion and less hypocisy. I mean among those of us who pose as religious. “I don't believe in St. Simon Stylites. I believe in living as best we can and having as much fun as we can, for happiness is worth while. Personally, l live well, 1 want the best things to eat. I drive what I think Is the best looking automo ill*- and my wife one as good. We wear the lie.i. clothes, eat the best food, see the beat things and shall continue to do that. Our home is beautiful, costing $30.000 —rather different to that we had when my earnings were $8 weekly and drinks. "But ntxiut the good living—the happiness—wealth is only good to make others happy—others who have been less fortunate than the man who has the wealth. "Have 1 told the whole story?

The bill is similar to the vice repressive measure already passed by thirteen States It is a strong indorsement of the single standard of morals in that penalties apply equally to both men and women instead of falling Kipon the women only. Owners as well as occupanta of vehicles such ns motor cars and boats would be culpable. Penalties also would be meted out to owncrß of disreputable houses as well as to their inmates. The faet that automobiles will be one of the targets of the proposed measure la hailed by Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, noted club woman, New Jersey suffrage loader and present chief of the national capital's force of policewomen, as sounding the death knell of petting parties which she hellves too often are the open door to breaking prohibition and moral laws. Senator Ball of Delaware Is chairman of the Senate Committee whleh has ‘o legislate for the District of Columbia. Senate bill 1613 is not a national measure, but pertains to the National Capital. The hearings on the bill are announced to begin next Thursday.

U. S. MERCHANT MARINE TAKES CABINET S TIME American Shipping Flag on the Seven Seas Held Important. DAWES FINDS LEAK Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct..— Ways and means for establishing a merchant marine policy for the United States occupied the entire attention of the Cabinet Friday. The Administration has decided that the question of placing the American merchant Bag on the seven seas under practicable conditions is the most Important constructive problem the ccAintry faces. No decisions that can be made public have been arrived at. Various plans of baser or greater intricacy are under consideration; It was announced at th White House, after the President and his executive advisers had been in session for two hours, that the subject was by no means exhausted and a on again would monopolize the full attention of a Cabinet meeting. It Is understood final decisions await the inventory survey of Government-owned tonnage, upon which Chairman Lasker and the shipping board have been working virtually ever since they took office. PRAISES QUESTION OF SHIPPING TREATIES. One of the pbuses of the new merchant marine policy which the Administration soon will have to f.i“e is the question of the shipping treaties the United State* has with a number of foreign governments. President Harding was in conference last night with the Secretary of War, the Secretary of Navy and the Chairman of the Shipping Board on the question or transport service. Hitherto the Army and Navy have maintained their own transports as independent services. The question now under consideration is whether transport services should not tie the proper and exclusive function of the Shipping Board. General Dawes, Director of the Budget, holds strong views <>n that subject He found not long ago that both the War aud Navy Department* were spending thousands of dollars on transport services when vessels of tie Shipping Board were available and ccTuld have been comir.andered at little or no
