ANYHOW, Mr. Elliott has succeeded in convincing every one that the bids for paving in Indianapolis were unreasonably high! THAT MAN who is in doubt as to whether he killed another may have to submit the question to a Jury which knows less about it than he does! yyrT.T, HAYS Is now advocating the use of films in every school and church and getting free publicity on the subject regardless of the obvious purpose! FORTY brokerage firms have closed their doors and not a ripple has been created, thus demonstrating again that brokering is not necessarily financing! THE LONDON Herald's opinion that President Harding will ask George Harvey to resign possesses the me it of being based on the fact that Harding certainly must wish to silence Harvey. The Double-Cross Republican leaders generally are beginning to feel the reaction from the appointment by Commissioners Tutewiler and Shank of George V. Coffin as county clerk to succeed Richard V. Sipe. * Even thosp who adhere to the theory that Mr. Coffin is qualified to take the position deplore the “double-cross” by which he obtained it and regret the alienation of the support of prominent Republicans which that “double-cross” has provoked. w Henry Cochrane was chosen for the appointment at a conference between Carlin Shank, Tutewiler. Mayor Shank and others. The two commissioners, both of whom are candidates for re-election, pledged themselves to name Cochrane when Sipe resigned. The next day, with Sipes resignation before them, these two commissioners repudiated their pledge and named Coffin. In explanation, one of the commissioners said that the naming of Cochrane would not “help us get any votes for ourselves.” The question that is now worrying the two commissioners who are candidates for election is whether the breaking of their agreement will not cost them more votes for themselves than the appointment of C ofiln can bring them. Among business men of the city there is a rapidly growing opinion that officials who cannot keep a solemn agreement for twenty-four hours are not particularly fitted to have control of the afTairs of Marion County for four years. v The result of this episode is likely to be a complete alignment of the forces of Mayor Shank against Carlin Shank and Tutewiler. Candidates against these two men are expected to enter the race for commissioner and it Is not unlikely that instead of being in a position to control other nominations, the two commissioners will be hard put to effect their own renominations. Steadily the impression is gaining ground that the Republican machine in this county has become so thoroughly bad that its own members cannot trust each other over night.

Obnoxious Tactics In Ft. Wayne last week prohibition agents broke into the home of the superintendent of parks in an attempt to find liquor base'd on an alleged anonymous communication. The raid was conducted without the knowledge of local officials and is being denounced as a part of a political use of the prohibition enforcement agents. Such incidents as this are to be expected in the next few months and unquestionably they will result in considerable misdirected sentiment against the enforcement of prohibition. The prohibition enforcement agencies in Indiana are a part of the political mrchlne built up by the Administration's candidate for Senator. The head of the department in Indiana is an active supporter of the Senator who named him. The men under him are selected with a view to the benefit they can be to hiß candidacy. A recent ruling issued by the department under which the identity of the agents Is not to be disclosed when they are appointed comes ht an opportune time to allow of politically prompted selections without public criticism. Everything is set for the no of the prohibition enforcement bureau to active work along political lines under the penalty of prosecution. Nothing stands in the way of subjecting political opponents to annoyance such as might dampen their ardor, except a ruling which is now in effect in Indianapolis and ought to be effective all over the State. Here, the courts are refusing to accept evidence obtained by illegal methods and are viewing with displeasure raids conducted with search warrants and in violation of constitutional rights.

'Seeking a Chairman The first of a series of attempts that will be made to get the Democrats of Marlon County together did not result in any more progress to that end than had been anticipated. The suggestion that the party unite on the candidacy of John Barrett for county chairman was not received with anything like general acclaim. But, it was nevertheless a suggestion of considerable benefit to the party insomuch as it disclosed the necessity for more harmonious relations among the Democrats. Joseph E. Bell took occasion to tell the Democrats that he regarded the old “Joe Bell machine’’ as scrapped. But, In suggesting Mr. Barrett as an acceptable chairman, Mr. Bell indicated that he and his political friends felt that they were entitled to consideration in the selection of a chairman. Probably no one, not even Mr. Barrett, was particularly annoyed by opposition to him as chairman. As was said at the meeting, no one could hope to escape some opposition. The result of the gathering of the Democrats vfas the establishment that James D. Moriaritv is seeking the chairmanship and a large number of Democrats who are opposed to him have not as yet been lined up behind any one man. Sooner or later a candidate for chairman must be found who will command the support of these Democrats, and meeyngs in which the matter is frankly discussed will hasten the selection.

Newberryism an Indiana Issue True words were spoken by B. B. Shively in opening of his campaign for the Democratic nomination for Senator when he said: “Newberryism is an issue in Indiana and no amount of sophistry will be able to blind the people to the facts.’’ The votes of Senators New and Watson for the seating of Truman Newberry in the United States Senate did not represent the sentiment of their constituents in Indiana and neither has offered a satisfactory planation. Throughout this campaign the subject will arise to trouble Barry S. New and no Democratic meeting will be complete without its reference to the Michigan senatorial scandal. Try as they do, the Republicans annot avoid this subject, and whether he desires it or not Albert J. ueveridge will be forced to disclose his views on the sanctity of senatorial seats. Newberry scandal is of keen interest in Indiana in its details as well as principles. The case against Newberry was prosecuted by an Indiana man, Frank Dailey, along a theory of law that originated in Indiana and was first established Haute poll fraud cases. Indiana has had, on some previous that were not unlike the Newberry campaign. There ha tlie effect that the coming priAßMfht in the Rep - t> dissimilar.

It is enough to say that De Mille has produced a corking good movie and for once a fancy bothroom Is not one of the main scenes. In place of a bathroom, De Mille introduces you to a pit full of water, containing a bunch of royal, but hunsjfy. crocodiles. Oh, this Mr. De Mille is a clever man and in this movie he has used the ancient arena idea, but It is done up-to-date. There is enough action and speed in this movie to interest even the most seasoned movie patron. The cast is magnificent. Miss Harris for the first time in many moons, according to my own opinion, does some really creditable work. Miss Dalton plays the part of the crafty bat treu-blm* girl, who makes an oath that she will force our hero to eat out of her hand. And she wins. (Ah, this is a bully good story.)

People boarding and leaving our car took on the aspect of poor files and gnats entangled in the snare-spinning whole, all of us soon to be swallowed up In the absorbing glands of the giant tarantula.

EMMETT GIVEN LOYAL TRIBUTE Last Speech of Irish Patriot Quoted at Meeting. James E. Deery, national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, delivered the principal address at the celebration in honor of tho one hundred and forty-fourth birthday anniversary of Robert Emmett, the Irish patriot, held In the Travertine room of the Hotel Lincoln last night. J. P. O’Mahonoy also made a talk and selections from the last speech of Emmett were read by P. J. Kelioher. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local Emmett Club. P. J. Tinnnon acted ns chairman, and J. JLlddy as toastmaster. Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank and Mrs. Shank were guests of honor. “The message which Robert Emmett has sent through eternity has stirred the hearts of every freeman,” Mr. Deery said. "He lived at a time when It seemed Ireland's cross had become so heavy the nation no longer could stand up under Its weight and continue tho fight for Irish nationality. With the courage of the Christian mnrtyrs and a faith burning with patriotic zeal, he rallied the dormant forces of patriotism and aroused the downhearted and despairing people to action. His objective, as the world Judges, was not attained, but he rekindled the flames of Irish patriotism which have kept aglow ever since.’-’ OOUGII DEFENSE FAILS. BIRMINGHAM, England. March 6.

KELLOGG WILL ' , BE OPPOSED IN SENATE RACE ‘Trust Buster’ Charged With Forsaking His Early Ideals. i ! WASHINGTON, March C.—Everybody remembers how. a few short years ago, the trusts were busted. And even in this time when fame is fleeting, many will recall that Frank B. Kellogg was known ns “the Trust Buster," and was hailed and acclaimed as a friend of the common pee pul. Came a day, alack, when all the trusts were completely “bustwhen the peepul were completely free of the thraldom of the big. bad interests—policeman, put that man out; he laughed, j Well, anyway, there came a day \fhen j there was no more trust busting.

Here, they said, was a man who was one “I them, a homey-handed son of toil, and smart into the bargain. Tlic State of .Minnesota selected itself to honor Kellogg with a senatorship. And now, in the passing of time. Kellogg again seeks from his State a scat in the Senate. And. who do yon suppose some of them are saying about him? They say he isn't close enough to the common people. They say he has forgotten what it Is to get up at dawn and milk the cows, or whatever it is one does at such an hour. And they have set out to beat him for the Republiem senatorial nomination and thus retire him to private life. Judge Oscar Ilalinm of the Minnesota Supreme Court Is the leader around whom the anti-Kellogg forces rally Judge Hallam, they assert. Is closer t■> the people, 4 to the dirt farmers, and the folk whose chief function appears to be paving tlie taxes. Kellogg, they say. has bad his turn, and should let some one else try conclusions with .Washington's climate, profiteers and other natural and acquired disadvantages. Under this sort of tiling does Kellogg wilt? Not he! He steps out and as a member of the Senate farm "bloc” tries to prove to his people that he has t’aeir Interests at heart as closely as ever. He took a leading part In getting the farmers' cooperative marketing bill through the Senate, nd that, his senatorial friends say, ought to help him some. Thera are some in the Senate, and elsewhere, who have been moved to remark, apropos of this very bill, that it is a strange commentary on the times that the man who once gained fame as Irnst buster should hope to help his political fortunes by advocating a bill which would exempt organizations from the anti trust laws. Some, in fact, have characterized the cooperative bill in the . form In which it passed the Senate, as I the charter of the greatest combination, trust and monopoly ever created.

ROW STARTED BY MEMBERS OF CABINET Secretary Fall Says Some Officials Are ‘Biased and Narrow.’ # • FOREST RESERVE SPAT Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, March 6. -Secretary of the Interior Fail has brought into the open his row with the Department of Agriculture over the proposal to transfer control of 120,000,000 acres of forest reserves in Alaska to his department. In a letter to a member of the House Mr. Fall has declared be was aware that big ideas for development of national resources do not meet with the approval of “certain narrow-minded and biased bureaucratic Government officials and their followers,” and added that because he would not alter his policy he was being subjected to "execretion, public abuse and private columny.” APPEALS TO PRESIDENT. The controversy has boon growing more bitter for several weeks. it has assumed ali aspects of a personal difference between Secretary Fall and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. There is reason to believe it must have reached the Harding Cabinet table. Mr. Fall has appealed to the President for prote' on against the “vicious propaganda” v. uich he says is being conducted against him by the Department of Agriculaure. He said today the matter was not • personal issue between himself and Mr. Wallace, “so far as I am concerned.” The Secretary of Agriculture declined to comment. He said he might have a statement later. He indicated there would be considerable to say when he started talking. -Mr. Fail’s letter charged Gifford Pinchot, State forester of Pennsylvania, and outstanding figure in the national conservation movement; Colonel W. B. Greeley, chief of the United States forest service, and one or two others with responsibility for newspaper and magazine nr tildes misrepresentation of his position relative to admliiiatration of Alaskun forests. He stated that when he appeared before a congressional committee to explain his attitude toward pending legislation he was accused by Mr. Pinchot of being engaged in an attempt to destroy the United States forestry service and deliver it over to private exploitation. CAUSES OF THE DISPUTE. Mr. Fall's letter described in some detail the nature of his row with the forestry service. He said he had opposed the Curry bill which proposed a virtual commission form of Government for Alaska and had advocated passage either of the Overman bill authorizing the President to allocate and coordinate the work of the various bureaus having to do with Alaskan affairs of the bill to vest directly in the Secretary of the Interior administrative authority over Alaska. "This at once brought down on my devoted head the wrath of Gifford Pincbot and h!s followers," Mr. Fall stated, “and immediately there was issued a press sheet in glaring headlines purporting to be sent out by the American I orostry Association.” The press relc-a c described Col. Neeley's fight against the “plan to get control of Alaska’s forests.” A section oi an article which appeared in connection with a photograph of Col. Greeley stated; “A more daring piece of legislation hn not been attempted in onr time. Th vast wealth of the great empire of Alaska was to be turned over to an absolutely irresponsible body from which the people of the United States and the people of Alaska would have no appeal wl: itever.” Mr. Fall who was absent from Washington when the attack on him appeared, stated he had authorized administrative chiefs in the Interior Department to lay the matter before the President. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

BEEF EATERS CHANGE DIET Department of Agriculture Discovers Reduction in Consumption Since 1810. WASHINGTON, March 6 Beef consumption per head of population has decreased more than twenty pounds since 3010, according to figures on meat production and consumption compiled by the Department of Agriculture. The decrease since 1917, the first 01 the war, has been nearly five pounds. Except In 1920, when beef consumption was only one pound per capita less than In the years of the pre-war period, since 1910, - the eating of beef has been steadily on the decline. Production of beef also shows a startling decrease from tho record output of 1918, when growers marketed 15.750.000 animals, which yielded about 7,500 mil lion pounds of dressed beef. In three years cattle slaughtered have fallen to 12,271.280 head, with an accompanying decline of more than 1,000,000,000 pounds of dressed beef. Exports of beef fell from 728.000,000 pounds in 1918 to 52,000,000 pounds for 1921. Thff consumption of lamb and mutton in the X’nited States, although increasing slightly, was only six pounds per per son In 1921. a per capita consumption far below that of both Great Britain and France. The Britisher, according to the figures, consumes about seven times as much lamb and mutton as the average American, while the Frenchman consumes four times as much. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
