WHY THE NOISE? JEADERS of some Indianapolis newspapers could be ex- ___ eused for wondering whether all this fuss about appealing the Federal Court water ease decision is a fight to prevent increased water rates in Indianapolis or an effort to force two of the five members of the public service commission out of office. There is every indication that the latter is the principal purpose. After all, the Federal Court and not the two members of the public service commission, who refuse to be like the dog before the phonograph listening to his master’s voice, increased the valuation of the water company property. It might be pointed out, in addition, that thus far nothing but higher rates and higher valuations has resulted from appeals. The Indianapolis Times does not believe that higher water rates are justified. We have said this repeatedly and we believe our position is clear. Furthermore, we do not believe that any of the five members of the public service commission believes high rates arc justified. There is nothing more detrimental to proper administration of public affairs than a rule or ruin policy of private interests. HE DIDN’T STAY SirTSTIED f p I OR MANY months the Federal trade commission, by direct 1 1 order of Congress, has been X-raying the Aluminum Company of America, unpopularlv known among housewives as the Aluminum Trust. Xoav comes the commission's report, which says: That the Aluminum Company of America enjoyed a monopoly. That it engaged in unfair practices to stifle competition and to hike .the price of aluminum cooking utensils and other aluminum products. Came a howl from administration spokesmen. Nobody denied the monopoly. Nobody denied unfair practices. Nobody denied hiking prices of kitchen ware. The howl was loosed because the Federal trade commission made its report at this particular time, when it might have a political significance. Because, you see. the Aluminum Trust is the property of A. W. Mellon, his family and friends, and A. W. Mellon is Secretary of the Treasury and power behind the Coolidge Administration. The exposure of Mellon's aluminum monopoly will hurt the Coolidge campaign among the housewives and housewives’ votes are needed badly by the Coolidge managers. What they’re really howling about is because the chairman of the Federal trade commission did not keep on tinkering with the X-ray, or fall asleep, or at least keep shushed until after the election. ■> But he didn't stay shushed, and now citizens of the country have before them a graphic illustration of how a hard-boiled G. O. P. Administration ties in with the Big Business to make rich men richer and poor people poorer. It is a graphic example of how a campaign contribution in 1920 can be turned into a tariff schedule in 1922 and how the tariff schedule turns into big. bigger, biggest dividends in 1922, 1923, 1924—and until further notice. THE HIT-AND-RUN motorist is and deserves the limit. WHAT DID the nut crop do but fall short in an election year. IT LOOKS as though Brother Charlie is holding out on ’em and letting Willie do it. JAPAN'S CLUB seems to hold the high batting average in the League of Nations at present. THE PRESIDENT is in doubt about the sugar duty matter, and that makes it unanimous. .HOWEVER, that cabinet slipped along in Greece for about four months before it skidded. -GRAND DUKE CYRIL declared himself emperor of Russia and then told the rabbit to get out of the way and let someone run who could run. THOSE ESKIMOS have a simple civilization, according to Explorer McMillan. They get rid of their wives by trade and without the employment of burdensome courts, laws and pistols. IT IS SAID that McAdoo paid for his lunch with Candidate Davis. So why is everybody howling about his lack of interest in the campaign.

ELECTION BETTING IS SLOW Coolidge ‘Odds On’ Favorite in Wail St. Wagers. By Times Special NEW YORK, Get. 9.—Wall St., where bets can always be place on horse races or prize fights, on baseball games or on presidential contests, is wary about placing its coin on the approaching election. Coolidge is an “odds on” favorite to win, but there is little money being placed with the bookmakers, or self-styled “betting commissioners.” At the present time Coolidge is a 3 to 1 favorite to win out in November, with odds at 4 to 1 and 5 to 1, that the election will not be thrown Into the House of Representatives. In comparison to the amount of money that has • been bet in past campaigns, the betting commissioners report slack business this year. The explanation is made that in the present campaign there are more unknown factors and that the “men who bet for a living” are waiting until they have a little more to go on before risking their money. Usually “Right” Frequently the odds on candidates have been completely reversed during the month of October. On election eve. Wall Street has usually been “right.” with the notable exception of 1916 when Hughes remained the betting favorite until two days after the votes had actually been cast. That Wall Street dopesters can be wrong is evidenced by the fact that one bettor offered $25,000 to SI,OOO that Hughes had been elected a few hours after the polls closd. A theatrical producer took the bet. In 1920 Harding was the favorite from the start and ruled a 6 to 1 favorite on election eve. In 1916 Hughes who was a 2 to 1 favorite over Wilson at the beginning of October, fell to a 5 to 1 favorite just before election. Wilson was the favorite over both Roosevelt and Taft throughout the 1912 campaign, the odds fluctuating from 2 to 1 to 5 to 1. Taft Favorite In 1908 Taft was a 2 to 1 favorite over Bryan in September and a 7 to 1 favorite on election eve. Ii 1914 Roosevelt was a 2 to 1 favorite over Parker early in the camphign and rose to a 5 to 1 favorite early In November . Throughout the 19°0 campaign the odds favored McKinley to defeat Bryan, the prevailing odds on election eve being about 4 to 1. In 1693 Bryan was an early favorite in the betting, hut as the campaign beca.no warmer* and Hanna made headway with his “full dinner pail” propaganda, the odds switched heavily to McKinley’s favor. When Cleveland ran against Harrison in 1892, Harrison was the favorite In the betting until late in the campaign, when Cleveland money tame forth in abundance and the odds went to 3 to 2 In Cleveland's favor before election. Thus in the last eight campaigns Wall Street has rather accurately forecast the elections with th<> <xt eption of 1916. However, carlv in the campaigns Wall Street has i.'en wrong nearly as often as i> has been right, the month of October having frequntly seen the reversal of odds. Dishes By HAL COCHRAN I peeked In a cupbord where dishes are kept, so a story I’d like to relate. They all looked the same as all dishes except a cup and a saucer and plate. The cup’s shy a handle; its thick as can l>e. It’s not like our china today. It hints of the o*d, you can easily see and it’s long since they put It away. The saucer Is cracked and It’s full of nicks; an odd piece of china to keep. But there on the shelf, like an heirloom. It sticks. Just a memory fast In its sleep. The dear little plate’s of a fadedout hue, just a victim of old Father Time. Tt still holds a painting of Little Boy Blue, and the verse of that nursery rhyme. Just three worn old dishes I always will see. With much better dishes they’re piled. But, always, they’ll be a heap greater to me. They were mother’s when she was a child.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

T-Toosierisms by GAYLORD NELSON

ESTERDAY it w-as announced that the old haymarket sitek__J on Kentucky Ave., Senate Ave. and W. Maryland St.—has been leased/to the Union Bus Terminal Company. There the company will erect a motor bus terminal to cost $500,000 — the largest motor bus terminal in the world. Indiana saw the first development of the electric intej-urban on a large scale. Ar.d, in Indianapolis, is located the country's largest traction terminal. Now we will have the largest terminal for the motor bus, the newest—and by some the most unloved —member of the transportation family. A terminal designed from the foundation to meet the needs of the business. The motor bus serves the comfort and convenience of the traveler, so j its patronage will grow. And, with! the erection of a suitable terminal, the bus will cease to be a homeless outcast kicked about from curb to curb. It will form part of a recognized public carrier system. King Canute tried to sweep back the re a—likewise attempts will he made to halt the expansion of the bus business. But it’s here to stay. And, like its cousins of the transportation family. It must have protection, regulation and its own home. Migration ~] R. .T. M, VANDER METTLEN, , Ij at the meeting of the Indiana Synod of the Presbyterian j Church, in Tabernacle Church yesterday, said: “We age a migrating people.” We know it. And are glad. For if it hadn’t been for our ancestral restlessness of foot Indiana, and th United States, would still ielong to the savages—that ls, red savages. An American family lacks perma- \ nonce in one community or one * State. It may start In Boston and in three or four generations be found : in H(plywood or the penitentiary. Recently a French peasant re i ceived an official decoration because j he farmed the same plot of ground his direct forebears had cultivated back in the reifln of Charlemagne. I Over a thousand years that family has stuck to one small patch of soil. But that’s all it has done. In this country- no family is a permanent part of the landscape of one neighborhood, or one locality. With us it is stay awhile here then seek a more Joyous altodo ever yon 1 der beyond the rim of the horizon. Moving day is our national institution. It is a racial heritage. And j it was this roving spirit that peopled ; Indiana. Hm diverse streams of migration met, and from them sprang the Hoosier, the most typi-j eallv American product of America, i Migrate rather than stagnate. That's America. Magic A'"" w FAYETTE St. negro wished magic power. He craved to i [__] have his material wants in stantly satisfied by stroking a rabbit’s foot or rubbing together a couple of magic peach pits. An obliging alumnus of a correspondence school of magic sold him an enchanted box possessing the pow’ers desired. But it failed to conjure up gold, or even control the course of two cantering dice. Yesterday the disillusioned negro appealed to the police. And the seller of the box is doing his magic in Jail. All of 11s have longed to possess a magic power Aladdin's lamp, or the carpet of Bagdad, which, by crooking a Anger, would gratify all our desires. So children believe In fairies —and grown-ups pin faith to the stock market. With both child and grown-up there comes the painful disillusionment. We awake to learn that fairies are practically extinct in this somber world, that there is no Santa Claus. Or we discover the only magic In the chattering stock ticker j leads to a narrow cot in Atlanta instead of spacious beds of flowery ease. There Is a magic that will bring us all our materia.l desires. That magic is work. It's not attractive—we abhor it. But it delivers the goods. Slowly and surely'.

THE CASE AGAINST GEN DA WES Former Senator Clapp Tells Why Citizens Can’t Support Candidate, By MOSES E. CLAPP, Former United States Senator (Republican) from Minnesota. npSJIHARLES G. DAWES’ part in If I the Lorimer bank swindle L.rT'.l makes it impossible for honest citizens to vote for him as Republican vice presidential nominee. The only excuse offered for Dawes' action, naijpely, that it is a common practice between bankers in Illinois, I regard as a slander upon reputable banks. If it is true that any banks in Illinois or elsewhere resort to such methods it is a condition danj gerous to the public welfare, and to the security of property'. The indorsement of Dawes by the banking interests and the denunciation of La Follette by’ certain bankers because he opposes such practices. proves that the people must take matters into their own hands and check those who try to evade the law. Bankers, of all persons, are supposed to be meticulously careful about financial transactions. They are, when the public is doing the transacting, but between themselves, they support Dawes, a proven cheat. “Why Shouldn’t I?” The “defense” of Dawes is like the one pickpockets and other criminals commonly use in police court. They say "Everybody’s doing it. why shouldn't I? All the other pickpockets work that way." This may look all right to the pickpocket, hut to the victim, and to the thousands who lost their savings when the lorimer bank blew up. It is somewhat different. Briefly, the Lorimer bank story is this: In 1912 United States Senator' Lorimer, who Was kicked out of the Senate, was president of a national bank in Chicago so shaky that it was about to bust. Lorimer decided to switch over to a State charter and have a State hank. Under the law he had to exhibit the to*nl claimed capital and surplus. $1,250,009, to cash and his nank officers had to swear the cash belonged to the bank, unincumbered and for use in the banking business, [ I/orimer didn't have the money. Trust Cos. I'resident Dawes was president of the Central Trust Company of Chicago and his cousin was the cashier. Lorimer asked Davos to help him out. Dawes did. The Suite auditor was taken Lo the I Dawes bank and was handed sl.250.000 in cash, being told flat it belonged to the Lorimer bank. The auditor handed Larimer his' permit to open his hank and the money was put back into the Dawes , bank vaults. Lorimer's bank, started on the foundation of This lie, soon failed and 4.000 depositors were losers. The receiver of the Txrrimer hank discovered the Dawes Isirlmer trans. , action and sued Dawes' bank so the money it had said belonged to let rimer. The case went to the Supreme! Court of Illinois twice and twice the Supreme Court anil all the in- i termediate courts decided that the j Dawes bank must help pay the Lori mcr depositors. The directors of Dawes' bank pleaded In court that they had not authorized the transaction and that President Dawes and his cousin, the cashier, had no authority to do such a thing. But the court said the acts of the two Daweses were binding. Tom Sims Says Next thing you know everybody will be talking about Christmas. They have been saying jazz music was done with for about three years, but U isn’t played out yet. Lots of fellows stand around and make excuses while lots of other fellows are making a success. The railroad crossing kills almost as many as double crossing. You can't kiss a girl these days ! who doesn't know how. Statistics say there is a business I revival, but you don’t hear much I shouting. (Copyright. 1924, NEA Service, Inr.i 1

‘A Friend on the Inside’

Science A Saxon graveyard, at Bidford-on-Avon, England, has recently, been discovered and scientists have made a careful study of skeletons and implements found in it- There were about 200 skeletons. The date of burial was about 500 A. D. The discoveries throw great light ; on the darkest period of English his- | ’ ory—after the Romans had left and before Christianity had entered. They show that the. Saxons of the ! period were further advanced than i has been supposed. Weapons, pot- | tery and wooden drinking cups, ! bound with bronze, were found in | abundance and show skilled workmanship. Brooches of bronze, artistically worked and overlaid with gold, and many jewels set in silver also were dug up. One warrior in full attire was dis-. I covered. Buried with him were ' knives and spears and a bronze | shield. The skeleton of one woman I was ornamented with amber beads, finger rings and a comb made of bone. The articles found in the graveyard have been distributed to museums and colleges.
