JAPAN Is “ready” to evacuate Siberia, but apparently is in no hurry. PARTY LINES to be tightened, says a headline, and anybody who ever used one will agree they are rather leaky. v ' THEBE IS a grewsome chuckle tucked away in the news that a “wood alcohol drinker is in grave condition.” POSSIBLY Uncle Sam intends to distribute souv-enir post card pictures of the World War Memorial amtmg jobless former service men. . The Democratic Field With the confidence thaC-usually characterizes its incursions into the field of faith opposite to its own, the Muncie Press remarks that “if Thomas Marshall will consent to hllow the use of his namo as a candidate for the Democratic 'nomination for Senator from Indiana, that is all there will be to it, from the party standpoint, and all others who now are considered prospective candidates will get out of the way.” from this unstable premise-the Press then builds a theory that Marshall is grooming himself for the President nomination in 1924 and declares that Marshall will not be a candidate ‘for Senator unless he is assured of the ability to win, as a defeat would interfere with his presidential aspirations. The theory Is fantastic and will probably prove as much of a surprise to Mr. Marshall as to any one else. Some time ago an astute follower of political history declared that Mr. Marshall most resembled the small boy who stood by while his companions knocked the apples from the tree when lie seized the fruit and retired with it to a safe refuge. There are a number of incidents in the political history of the Vice-President that would seem to justify this description, but we are not likely to see an immediate repetition of them. - \ •

- Just at present thefle are no companions handy to knock the apples down for Mr. Marshall and it does not appear that there will be, this year. Whoever- essays to fight for the toga against the Republican organization this year must start from the bottom up. His most difficult task will be the formation of an organization from the remnants which ..Chairman Ben Bosse is said to be more than willing to bundle up and ship to any willing consignee. Having formulated an organization, the candidate w r ill find It absolutely necessary to tap a source of revenue sufficient to compete with a rival organization subsidized from Washington, where the Administration views the possibility of a Republican defeat in Indiana wltlj considerable alarm. v These two necessities make the prospective trail of a Democratic nominee for Senator anything pleasant. Tom Marshall might venture into the running under these conditions, but if he did his venture would be in direct contradiction of the policies he has heretofore pursued in political life and even so it Is not true that ‘’that is all there would be to it from \ * the party standpoint.” The Rockville Tribune, one of the few papers left in the State that has not become Completely discouraged over Democratic failures, says: “I’ the Democratic party in Indiana is to continue under the leadership of the men who have led it ‘through a slaughter house to an open grave’ the Republicans can elect anybody on any kind of a platform. We are not seeking a fight with these so called leaders —all we are asking is that they recognize the fact that the demand for ‘young tyood , and new blood’ is imperative for success." The Tribune also indorsed Claude Bowers of Fort Wayne for the sena- j torship and says: “It*is time to call a halt on the drift towards conditions which will in time shut the door of advancement against every man in the Democratic party who has the ability to serve his party and his country in high stations, but not the money to finance campaigns. It seems to us that a man like Bowers can make the rade for nominatipn without money. Certainly he is well enough known throughout the State and has friends enough to make It unnecessary to use money in his behalf. Indeed it would be all the better to have a candidate under no financial obligations to anybody and responsible to nobody but to rank and file of the party.” Regardless,'however, of these more or less interesting expressions of opinion, it is most likely that Samuel M. Ralston, former Governor, will be called upon to make the race for U*ited Stages Senator. Mr. Ralston does not fajl under the classification of “young blood” J nor is he a wealthy man. But pyobably the one-of the elder leaders of the-.party who is in best favor with the “younger element” and is j most likely to attraet to himself men with means sufficient to finance a campaign.

Disappointed! , Illustrative of the general spirit of rebellion and revolt that amassed such a majority for Samuel Lewis Shank is the complaint of a citizen which has reached the Times that, although he voted for Shank for mayor, some member of the traffic squad has objected to his leaving his car parked for longer than one and one-half hours and has ordered him into court! Os this procedure the complainant says: “What is this man Shank going to do about this? He has promised better government for Indianapolis. Is It a fact that he has actually or dered the traffic force to watch these harmless cars, sitting at the curb and not moving, not endangering the traffic or public, and to place a sticker thereon?” I We very much suspect that Mr. Shank has done just that Also that he does not intend to be governed entirely by the wishes of these persons who thought that when he became mayor there would be a surcease of all law enforcemei*and citizens who voted for him would bo permitted the’rather dubiously pleasant privilege of obeying only those laws which they feel do not interefere with their “personal liberty.” As to this matter of traffic law enforcement, we have not, as our correspondent ifftimates, “been off the job for the last,few days.” We have seen the mayor abolish the “no parking” signs amfhave agreed with the purpose of his action. We have seen the traffic squad interfering w ith the driver who seeks to make an all day garage of the public street and have rejoiced over it. We are now waiting patiently to see the traffic squad gather a few 'of the “jayhawking” drivers who turn around in the-middle of the block and surprise themselves beyond measure if they suddenly discover that they are on the right hand side of the road. * For, what w’e need in Indianapolis today is not a less strict, but a far more strict enforcement of the traffic law which is proving so disagreeable v to the selfishly inolined. \ 7 Ttye Poor Criminal! itn its effort to disclose to the public methods by w r hich the criminal eSass has created so much distrust and chagrin with our criminal j courts “TheVprofesslonal robber, burglar, safeblower or automobile thief, figures as one of the hazards of his regular business.

GOOD FAIRY GOD-MOTHER FILLS FILLS EVERY REQUEST That Fag Bainter Makes, Even Giving Her, a Special dressing Room

Fay Bainter must have a good fairy god-mother presiding over her destinies. She seems only to express a wish to have it fulfilled. Miss Bainter, whose playing of Ming Toy in “East is West,” has endeared herself to thousands of playgoers, is not a temperamental actress. Her experiences on the stage from the time she was 5 years old until the memorable success in “East is West,” was of the sort which mad'fe her a very human person, and consideration for the supporting* company and manager her very first thoughts. When Miss Bainter was concluding her run of two years at the Astor Theater in New York she chanced to mention to her manager, William Harris, Jr., that she was going to miss her lovely dressing room. Right then the fairy god-mother went to work and Inspired Mr. Harris with the idea that Miss Bainter could have her own dressing room qfti tour Just as easily as in New York. He gave Instructions to his technical director, Livingston Piatt, who had spent many years in the study of interior decorating, and soon there was devised the loveliest reception and dressing room imaginable. In each city Miss Bainter visits Mr. on and directs preparations for the installation of her rooms, which are decorated to harmonize with the fittings carrl?d by the company. The scheme of decoration is a beautiful violet with tones of autumn shades shot through it. The draperies are of silk dama-sk; the furniture is in gray Rory and the carpets are of it soft gray silk plush. The wicker furniture is upholstered In the same material as the decorations. The toilet fittings are of marvellous Russian translucent enamel fittings in gold. One of the interesting point* of Miss Bninter's dressing ron is the dolls. It shows her Just a little girl at heart, /here are some sixty in the two roonia. of all sorts, big dolls, little dolls, pretty dolls, grotesque dolls, chlra dolls, rag dolls, and there U one, the “sleepy doll.”

Tell me, what's It all about?” "Tweedle duin broke my rattle,” cried one of them. “1 did not,” replied Tweedle-dee, “I only rattled it a little too hard."

Tweedle rtum and Tweedledee stood by with mouths and eyes wide open. They were too surprised to say a word. And perhttps some of my little readers would have been so. tco, had they seen this monstrous crow. Ills wings were so long that they reached clear through to the other side of the big apple tree, and Ills {all feathers reached down to Hie ground, and when he said. "Haw, haw, caw, caw," all the leaves trembled aud But all this clbfih't make Puss Johtor the least bit afraid No, ind-d ! He Just stood perfectly still, with his trusty sword In Ids good right paw, reßdy for anything. But nothing happened. The monstrous crow. u.f;“r sitting still for a short time, flapped Ids wings and flew away, and as he passed overhead, he cried In a hoarse voice: "Though I be as black as night.
