WHERE DOES PUBLIC COME IN? mHE Indiana Bell Telephone Company again has gone into Federal Court in an effort to obtain increased rates. This time it cried before it was hurt and rushed to court before the public service commission could issue an order fixing rates. It is time for a showdown on rate regulation in Indiana. It is time for the consumers to demand to know where they stand. It is time the people of Indiana learn whether a trust is to be given a monopoly over a public necessity and then permitted to ignore a regulatory body duly established by the citizens of the State. t The American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which owns the Indiana Bell Telephone Company and which has the telephone system of the United States in its grip, is one of the most powerful combinations ever formed in this country. It is engaged, as are some other utilities, in breaking down anything resembling public control over rates. The Indiana Bell Telephone Company has been granted increases. It went before the public service commission following the war, when prices were at a peak, and was given increased rates throughout the State. But it was not satisfied. It cried that it did not obtain the amount it deserved during the war and that still higher rates should be changed. The commission turned down the request and the company went into Federal Court. Then the case went back to the commission. Now, before the commission has acted, the company has gone back into court. The telephone company not only is owned almost outright the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, bnt as a part’ of its operating expenses, charged to the public, it pays 4 per cent on its gross income to the American company for service rendered by that concern. There have been repeated reports that the operating expenses of the Indiana company are higher than they should be. But the public service commission has no authority to go into these things. It must take them for granted. The company can charge the consumer almost anything it pleases under the head of operating expenses. But the public service commission is rapidly becoming powerless even to regulate rates. Utilities have discovered that if they go into the courts with the plea existing rates are confiscatory they can make a showing that will obtain for them what they want. Masters in chancery have not yet become accustomed to the theories and “fanciful figures” of engineers. The public service commission is supposed to stand between the public and grasping monopolies. It may not always have served the public well, but at least it should be given an opportunity. If its hands are to be tied it might just as well be abolished and an understanding reached whereby the courts would take over utility regulation. Or better still, from the point of view of the monopolies, why not permit the telephone and similar companie’s to go wild with charges until we decide to do without their service?

GASOLINE CONTROL SHE amount of gasoline placed in storage this year has broken all records, but before you rise to cheer, Mr. Motorist, just read the news sent out from an oil men’s meeting in Chicago: Rather than reduce the price, “twenty-five major oil refineries of the mid-continent field will close during August to eliminate an oil and gasoline surplus.” In other words, by exercising the oil industry’s own peculiar economic law of supply and command, they are determined to keep prices up or bust. WE ARE WELL OFF mN a little, lamp-lighted house in the isolated Vermont hills, a sleepy-eyed, collarless old farmer—a mere back-country notary public—administered a solemn oath to a younger man, his own son. By that oath he greatest executive power of the greatest Nation on earth was transferred from shoulders that had yielded to death to those alive and alert. The simplicity of it, the peace of it, the steadiness of it, the poetry of it and the drama, are awe-inspiring. Only a strong, solid, stable, rock-rooted system of government could be party and witness to such a scene. "We ought to know, by this and other scenes in other parts of the world that we are well off. THE BRITISH BACK DOWN S* 1- |O, it seems, Britain is not going to break with France and Belgium over the Ruhr and reparations matters. “Rather,” says a London cablegram, “the British plan seems to be to enforce her views through publicity and bringing France and Belgium into line through force of world opinion.” How perfectly splendid if world opinion could be called in to untangle foreign complications! But can one nation swing it this way or that? Can any nation tell what is world opinion on any matter? Less than five years ago, there was a conference of the nations, in which Great Britain was a conspicuous figure. There is no question but world opinion endorsed that conference’s decisions as to reparations to be paid by Germany. Can Great Britain now swing world opinion to the cutting down of those reparations? World opinion is not merely the opinion of diplomats, trade interests, financiers and investors in foreign securities. Is any one justified in saying that the people of America, “Britain, France, Italy, of the whole world, would vote France and Belgium out of the Ruhr or to let Germany avoid payment of the full bill as decided upon at Versailles? If France and Belgium have a good thing in the Ruhr, is anybody foolish enough to think that they will let go because other nations thing they ought to? It wouldn’t be human nature to do it. It wouldn't be like any action in all the history of nations. THE only solution seems to be to cut the telephone wires and disconnect the bath tub. • • • LOAFERS are about to be rounded up again. How about the burglars who work at their life of crime? L IT will take only a few more reports to establish the fact insanitary conditions exist at the State farm.

WOMEN IN SCOTLAND WORK HARD Have Few Conveniences, but Homes Are Kept immaculate, JOHN W. RAPER ANYWHERE IN SCOTLAND—Of all the things man has invented as additions to human discomfort, nothing equals the home of the worker in the industrial ceriter, whether the industry is fishing, mining cloth making or iron and steel. In the Glasgow district, which includes a multitude of towns from 5,000 to 30,000, and in the city, the skilled worker of relatively high pay as well as the unskilled lives in a tenement from two to occasionally five stories in height. The dark and winding stair of stone is a feature. On a landing on each floor Is a common toilet for the use of two or perhaps more families. In the hack of the house is the scullery, a small room In which is kept the coal and the heavy and rough articles of household use. The coal is carried by the coal peddler when It is bought, as a rule, by the hundredweight, often in smaller quan titles. Kitchen and dining room are com bined and there is an alcove off the room just large enough to hold a bed. One other bedroom and the old-fash-ioned parlor would complete the average tenement, though more prosperous workers might have two. Few Conveniences The cooking stove is clumsy and inefficient. How the Scotch woman manages to prepare on it the fine meals she does Is a mystery to me. She has marvelous skill. The kitchen sink is small and without a draining board. In the back of the tenement is an open yard filled with small brick wash-houses, generally one to every two families. The wash-house contains an old-fashioned brick furnace with a heavy buijt-in kettle of Iron. There Is a cold water pipe, generally left dripping through the winter to prevent its freezing. To add to the Joy of living the Scotch woman’s home Is heated by grates.

Always Clean In spite of all the handicaps you never see any dirt in a Scotch home cutside the slums. The house always shines like anew needle. The homes of many well to do folk have in them no more modern conveniences than those of workers with low pay. The Scotch housewife does not know what ice is in the home and she knows of nothing like the American household refrigerator. Climate helps her a great deal, for the weather is cool the greater part of the year. She also buys in small quantities and nothing ever "spoils" in her home. “American Type” Homes. Scotch women who have been in the United States complain bitterly of the lack of modern conveniences. Several newspapers within the last month have printed letters from women now in the United States and Canada, tell ing of the comforts of the houses In the western world.

Family Fun Not Long “I am not going to talk long this evening,” said the speaker. “I've been cured of that. The other night I was making a speech when a man entered the hall took a seat right in theTront row. I had not been talking an hour when I noticed he was becoming fidgety. Finally he arose and asked: “ ‘Shay, how long you been lecturin’?” “ ‘About four years, my friend,’ I replied. “ ‘Well,’ he remarked, as he sat down, ‘l’ll stick around; you must be near through.’ ” —Christian Advocate. Father Couldn’t See “Say. dad, c’n yuh see any change in me?” “No. Bobbie, I can’t say that I do. Why?” “Well, yuh'd oughto, ’cause I just swaljered th’ dime yuh gimme.”— Judge.

And again the teacher said: “Mary, I told you to put that gum in the waste basket.” This time Mary started to cry and replied: “Miss J., I won’t chew the gum any more, but I can’t put It in the basket. It’s my sister’s gum and I have to give it back at noon.”—lndianapolis News.

The State's star witness had “fallen down” in hls testimony and both sides agreed when the jury went out their verdict could be nothing else than acquittal. To our surprise and the the discomfort of my client they were out fortytwo hours. The only pleasant thing was their verdict was as both sides and the judge predicted—“not guilty.” I stopped the jurors in the courthouse hall and learned a Juror named had held up the jury's speedy return.

What Editors Are Saying Constitution (Marlon Leader-’f'ribunel A course of study of the Constitution of the United States is to be added to the curriculum of the high 'schools throughout the State of Indiana. The course, backed by the American Bar Association, will acquaint students both with the history of this important document and its amendments, and with the contests and meaning of the document itself. It will be compared with similar constitutions in foreign countries and will bo taken apart for criticism and discussion by the young students. The course should be a good one if carried out In the right manner.. The wonder Is that It was not added to the school schedule long ago instead of some of the apparent deadwood which has been taught. Why, Alvah! (LaFayette Journal and Courier! Alvah J.

Most of the efforts of the alchemist were used in an attempt to turn common metals into gold. He worked with Incantations and amid weird surroundings. One of the elements that was supposed to be necessary in making gold was the blood of an Infant. Despite the ignorance that we now know surrounded these attempts, the development of alchemy finally created chemistry. Today science, through chemistry, can do many of the things that the alchemist tried to do. Even the making of gold Is not an impossible process, although it is not practical. Certain precious stones can be made chemically and many other thnigs that the alchemist tried to produce can now be created by the chemist.

STEARNS IS CLOSEST TO PRESIDENT Boston Merchant Is Friend and Political Advisor to Coolidge, BY ROBERT TALLEY Times Staff Correspondent ASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—McKinyy ley had his Hanna, Wilson had his Colonel House, Harding had hls Daugherty and President Coolidge has his Frank W. Stearns. A short, stout, healthy 67-vear-old Boston dry goods merchant, who has made a modest fortune by selling ladies’ lingerie, gingham house dresses and what not, is “the man behind the President,” so Washington has already observed. Although active in politics for years, he has never held political office. Stearns is neither Calvin Coolidge’s master nor his slave. He Is, rather, the new President’s closest friend and political adviser. His relation to the new executive, sixteen years his junior, has been something like father toward son. "I would rather not talk for publication just now,” said Stearns when asked for an interview describing hls friendship with President Coolidge. “I am sure you newspaper boys will understand why.” Eye* Tell Story But one doesn’t need words to appreciate Stearns’ Intense admiration for his now celebrated politics! protege. The expression In hls keen hazel eyes, smiling at you from behind his rimless glasses beneath two bushy gray eyebrows, tells the story when the name of Coolidge Is mentioned. Short and plump, he looks the part of the prosperous Yankee merchant that he Is. He wears a black suit, a black four-in-hand necktie and a black vest—despite the warm weather —in the buttonholes of whlcn there Is knotted a heavy gold watch chain, trailing off into a vest pocket. The front of the vest is rather spacious, rand necessarily so. His hair is white and bushy and he puffs almost continually on a fat, black cigar that protrudes from under a closely-cropped gray mustache. The firm-set lines of his mouth de ! note determination. Active as Man of 2ft He walks brisky around the tem- j porary "White House’’ on the third | floor of the Willard Hotel as active as a man twenty years hls Junior. Occasionally he pauses to chht with ! one of the numerous newspaper correspondents who have taken charge of several of the rooms, throwing out the beds and bureaus to install typewriters and telegraph instruments. . Stearns and Coolidge are as different in personality as daylight and dark, but he has guided Coolideg’s destiny ever since their friendship began under such strange circumstances when Coolidge was a member of the Massa chusetts Legislature.

Indiana Sunshine

There are are two organizations in Indiana with names rivaling George Ade’s slang. One is the Jolly Stitchers. a sewing club at Alexandria, and the other is the Merry Drifters, a social club of Thorntown. '“Artist Bowman” of Union City, a cripple who has not walked for years, has made himself financially independent and the homes of the community look brighter and neater by the novel occupation of keeping the mail boxes painted. Allthough Ruth Simons of South B'nd was taken suddenly ill with appendicitis and forced to be in the hospital on the day planned for her wedding, this did not interfere with arrangements. Her fiance came to the hospital and the couple were married. A small boy came to the city clerk’s office at Elwood, laid down a dog tag an dsaid he wanted his money back. He mournfully said someone had killed his dog. When the clerk told him his money could not be refunded, the lad set out to hunt for a dog to match the tag. Observations If talking a lot and saying nothing means presidential candidacy, no 'one in sight has anything on'Oscar Underwood. Read the character of an automobilist in his horn. Further, no one ever suspected, until! now, that there was any curb to Wall Street. An ex Russian nobjeman is now a floor walker in a Kansas City department store. All Is lost but hauteur.

Barber shops are reopening in Russia and that is proof enough that the Soviets have failed completely. Los Angeles bonds attracted no bidders in New York. Probably thought they were those unstable marriage kind. Coolidge was sworn in by the light' of a very dim, oil lamp. Let us hope he has a better light by which his feet are guided. They are talking of George Harvey for the Senate in Vermont. Are those folks allowing their granite to get in their heads.

Trom the J Referee’s Tower By ALBERT APPLE China China takes a census, finds it , has a population of four hundred and thir-ty-seven millions not counting three big provinces of which at least one, Mongolia, may have as many es live in the United States, despite its huge desert. The Chinese population is at least five hundred millions. Most of them are in wretched condition economically, not so much on account of overpopulation as of forest depletion. That is the real economic problem in China. Its original forests were chopoed down without being replanted. This has created a shortage of natural building materials, caused periodic destructive floods and permitted much of the rich fertility of the land to be washed down into the ocean. \Ve Americans are destroying our forests faster than China ever did. Gasoline Thirty-six States now have a gasoline tax. The tax averages close to 2 cents a gallon. In West Virginia It Is highest. 3 cents. In most of the States the sugar coating that induces people to smile when taking the gas-oline-tax pill Is that the money is to be used for motor roads, or at least part of it. By the same reasoning, pedestrians should be taxed to pay for sidewalks Instead of making property owners foot the bill.

A man in Cleveland has rigged up a windmill that operates a dynamo and, in connection with storage batteries, supplies all the electricity needed for lighting the house. It rarely occurs to any oner that a windmill can do anything more than pump water or operate a grist mill In Holland.

Our robin raises two broods a year, sometimes three. It is only partly migratory. Numbers remain in the woods of the North even during the coldest of weather, but the majority fly South. Down there they are hunted very often as a game bird, which they are not in any sense of the word.
