DON’T FORGET to take off the price tags. PERSONS in Avor of prohibition seldom appear in Federal Court THE BEST THING about the high cost of turkeys is that no one is compelled to eat turkey. NOW that food prices axe reported down, Attorney General Daugherty is planning an investigation. THIS is the season when you receive cards from every one except the persons to whom you sent cards. BRIAND knows how America views Europe—headline. If he does, he knows more than most Americans. *T CAN’T get along with mother,” a girl who committed suicide in Lafayette wrote. Few of us can get along without her. IF the persons who have drawn the four-power agreement don't know what it means, how do they expect any one else to figure it out? The Democratic Position Colonel HoHse, writing for the Philadelphia Public Ledger Sendee, says of the work of the Washington conference that “it matters not whether we enter into a world association of nations by the back door or the front,' 1 and “President Harding may lead along the path he is going and his countrymen will follow. - ’ The statements are significant in view of the fact that an opportunity is unquestionably present for the Democratic Senators to unite with an element of the Republicans and refuse to ratify the four-power Goaty or any other result of the disarmament conference. • Not without popular support would be opposition to the naval holiday with its Far East entanglements. The unfortunate difference of interpretation of the compact which has developed between the President and the delegates makes Senator Borah’s declaration that others can hardly be expected to understand what the makers fail to grasp strike home. Ex-Sena-tor Beveridge’s note of warning against too hasty indorsement of a pact that is to endure for years is sound sense. Politically speaking, there never was a better opportur.: f y for a party to retaliate for the wrecking of its program than is now afforded the Democrats to revenge themselves for the assassination of the League of Nations covenant. But there is little likelihood that revenge will actuate the Democratic Senators in their consideration of the work of the W ashington conference. The demand of the people of the world for some sort of agreement as to armaments is too strong to tolerate partisan politics now as partisan politics was tolerated before the last election. The Ft Wayne Journal-Gazette defines the duties of the Democrats in the Senate in a manner with which many will agree when it says: “It is the duty of the Democrats of the Senate to make it clear to the country that Lodge, and the rest, including the President, have reversed themselves completely on many vital points. “Their duty is to make it plain that Article X in the league is Article II in the league, limited. “To make it clear that if Article X obligates us to fight in European wars, Article II does precisely the same thing. “To emphasize the fact that the men who one year ago were talking of splendid isolation and of remaining out of Europe are the men who are now scouting the idea of isolation and putting us in. 1 “To advertise the fact that the plan for a pause between the quarrels of nations and the drawing of the sword is taken bodily from the WilsonBryan arbitration treaties. “There are some gentle soul? who feel that this policy would be ‘unkind.’ So be it. Men capable of the hypocrisy of the Lodges deserve the lashing they will receive. “It is not the duty of the Democratic Senators to eat humble pie at their own feast.’’ Prohibition Enforcement No one who attempts to keep pace with public questions will fail to recognize in the recent criticisms of prohibition agencies a very general dissatisfaction with the manner in which the amendment to the Constitution is being enforced. In Indiana, Judge Albert B. Anderson has voiced some very vigorous criticisms of the conduct of prohibition enforcement agents. District Attorney Van Nuys has declared that the problem of enforcement is one that could easily be met by men with the sincerity and willingness that is always exhibited by the agents of the department of justice. These criticisms serve to call attention to the fact that in practically every instance where derelict officials have been prosecuted or flagrant prohibition violations have been brought to court, the cases have been prepared by the agents of the department of justice and not by the agents for the enforcement of the prohibition amendment. There is a grave question as to whether the dual enforcement theory of the government is not an error. Certainly it has been demonstarted that the department of justice is far more competent and willing to enforce prohibition in Indiana than is the prohibitition enforcement bureau which Is charged with that duty. It is also apparent that the federal prohibition enforcement machinery is not functioning in this state. It is the opinion of many that there is a hidden purpose in this failure to function. Such incidents as that disclosed in Federal Court, of prohibition agents driving seized automobiles more than six thousand miles tend to create the suspicion that these agents are permitted to do things that are not compatible with law enforcement in order that the whole bureau and the law itself may be discredited. However that may be, it remains a fact that prohibition is today the object of the local police officials and the department of justice agents in Indiana to a far greater extent than it is the object of the federal prohibition enforcement agents who are charged with the enforcement of this law and draw their salaries for that service which they are not performing. Henry Watterson The death of Col. Henry Watterson is a great loss, both to the profession of journalism and to the Nation. It can be said of him that he was a credit to his profession and that he served his country well. While he was, perhaps, not always right in his views, he was never afraid to fight for what he thought was right, 'to a man who does that the utmost credit is due. Colonel Watterson was called by some the last great exponent of personal journalism, and at times this was said in a tone of derision. But it must be said of the Watterson type of journalism, which was also the Greeley type and the Dana type, that it did more to elevate the newspaper tc a place of usefulness and respect than any one thing. The Watterson type of journalism is the type that gets results, and while it may be unpleasant to wrongdoers, in the hands of an honest editor it is a great force for good. For about fifty years Colonel Watterson was editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. H ? retired only recently. He did not have th? advantage of conducting a newspaper in a great population center where it would attract attention merely by its position, but, nevertheless, be became the most quoted editor in the country, and many unhesitatingly c’assed him as the greatest Like the case of the maker of the proverbial better mousetrap, the world trod a* beaten path to his door. In the Civil War he served in the Confederate army, doing, as he did in his later life, his best for the cause which he believed was right. But Colonel Watterson could never be accused of not being a patriot. He was one of the first to take up the fight against German militarism, long before the United Staves entered the war. In thi-:, as in everything else, he never was a neutral. Following the war he departed from the precepts of his party aud opposed the League of Nations. Whether he was right or wrong in this, he deserves credit for fighting for his convictions. “Marse” Henry, as he was fondly called, held a distinct place in his profession and h.s country. His place will not easily be filled.

Keeping House With the Hoopers

[The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. Mrs. Hooper had little heart for her task when she faced the members of the economic section of the Mayfield Women's Club. When they assembled for their final meeting for the year. It had been suggested that the meeting today be omitted because It came so near to Christmas day but the decision of the members had been to come together on this Friday and then not meet again until the first Friday In the New Year. She felt that her family had been much under discussion in the households of every member of the club for several days, because the failure of tha firm with which Mr. lloopcr\ had been connected for so. long had been spread all over the front pages of both the city and local papers ns the details of how the company came to tail were rather unusual and dramatic. When she had appeared at the club, a number of women had expressed their sympathy that Mr. Hooper should have been involved in the failure with the hope that he would make some new connection immediately. Although they were curious as possible, as she very well knew, as to how she Intended to meet the situation, if Mr. Hooper were really to be unemployed for a long time, they made no sign that she could translate into curiosity, and they asked no questions. But Mrs. Hooper was very uncomfortable. She had been very frank with her neighbors as to her finances in discussing the budget she had used so successfully for years, and she knew perfectly well that they were speculating as to how she intended to manage if her Income was to be cut off. talking on the subject of Shelter’ when we adjourned last week. I believe.” she began bravely. “We also heard the decision of several of you to give up your budgets rather than live In tho kind of house you can get for $25 a month in Mayfield.” “Fm quite convinced it is impossible." said the woman who had so violently obected at the last meeting, when Mrs. Hooper suggested that moving to an oldfashioned house at the end of the trolley line would be the solution to her problem as to how she would pay tho rent. “The expense of moving to anew place would also have to be considered as pur Q waste before the business of saving that extra $25 could begin.” I hen you Intend to go right on pay-

lng SSO a month rent!” asked Mrs. Hooper “in spite of the fact that your budget will permit you only s2s|” “I certainly do,” replied the belligerent woman.” “Well, then, your budget will have to be ‘scrapped,’ ” answered Mrs. Hooper firmly. “But isn’t there any way of managing In these few cases except moving, Mrs. Hooper?” asked tho Bride. “It seems to me that almost any adjustment would be better than changing houses, for no other reason than to get cheaper rent.” “It does seem rather hard,” admitted Mrs. Hooper, “hut the house for which Mrs. Owen is paying SOO isn’t really worth It, while the house 1 spoke of as nn alternative could be rented for $25, and has so many advantages that It would easily be worth SSO in the matter of comfort and room.” “I quite agree with you Mrs. Hooper spoke up another woman. “I have In, vestigated the place and have agreed to take it and consider that even with the expense of moving I shall be greatly ahead at the end of next year.” “I’ve been paying thirty-five dollars for the small house in which I live, which is plenty large for my husband and myself,” said an elderly woman who had not before spoken, “but in the light of having to adjust my budget I went to the landlord and told him that unless he reduced the rent I should have to move. I made some concessions about repairs and keeping the place In condition and he has finally consented to do so, rather than lose me as a tenant ro that I am all right.” “And we find that buying, a place on the installment plan will bo possible,” continued another woman,” and that our monthly payments need not exceed twenty-five dollars which will fix tne up the beginning of the year so that I can work on my budget.” “If we can buy the Brown lot next to your house Mrs. Hooper,” another member Went on “and get a building and loan company to put 'up a house and lot us pay Installments that will settle the question for us.” ‘lt would seem as if you nil had solved the problem more satisfactorily than 1 have” said Mrs. Owen grimly “but I'm determined to stay where I am at fifty dollars a month and let the budget idea go.” After tho meeting had adjourn* and. and the Bride and Mrs. Hooper were wt Iking home together the silence between hem was broken by tho Bride's asking: “Would you consider a proposition to sell your house Mrs. Hooper?" “Sell our home!” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper stopping short In her dismay. “Why who ever heard of suca a thing! Why do you ask?” “Mrs. Chapin seemed very inxlons to know and she asked me," replied the Bride quietly. A cold chill passed over Mrs. Hooper. Would it come to that ts Henry failed to get a Job!

By I>*vtd Cory ‘ ' The Hotel Ark was a comfortable sort of a place, not very up-to-date, but with enough conveniences to make tho traveller feel perfectly at home. He felt even moro so after meeting the proprltor’s wife, Mrs. Noah, a motherlylooking woman, with kind blue eyes ana red cheeks. “t’oiue right in,” she said as Puss Junior and Tom Thumb, both wet to the skin, rapped on Hie door. “You'd bast dry yourselves In the kitchen,'' she said, as sho led them down a narrow hall. "It's so warm in there you'll be dry in no time.” Our two small travellers w.-ro too tired to cure where they went so long as a fire was to bo had, for their teeth were chattering In their mouths like twentyfour small white horses on a red hill. “Here's a chair for you and here's a chair fur Tom Thumb, said Mrs. Noah. "I'm not sure about your name, but 1 can't mistake that of your Ilttlo friend." l'uss Junior turned and bowed. Although he was wet, lie did not forget his manners. “My name is Puss In Boots, Junior.” "To bo sure, to be sure,” cried Mrs. Nosh. “I might havo known It." The kitchen fire was burning mer riiy, bright flames shot up the chimney and sparks from the wood flew out like stars upon tho polished floor. Puss took off his dripping hat and laid It down on the chair. Tho feather was much bedraggled and had lost its wave. Tom Thumb undid his coat anil hung It up, and then took off his shoes and placed them close to the hearth. "I think my boots are half full of water,” said Puss Junior; “they are as heavy ns lead, and when 1 walk they make a funny noise." They certainly were full of water, for when Puss finally got them off and turned them ever, a stream of water ran down the
