ox the Job TTIARION COUNTY is fortunate in having a prosecuting atyl tornev who is on the job. It is a pleasant relief to find a plblic official of this character. ? William H. Remy does not make a lot of noise his activities and has little to say about what he is going to do, but every once in a while something happens to indicate that the Purpose of the office is being fulfilled. * For instance, the indictment of John J. McNamara. Os cflurse. McNamara is clothed with the presumption of innocence until he is proved guilty. Nevertheless, Remy has been working for weeks getting to the bottom of acts of sabotage in Indianapolis. Persons who know anything at all about the case kbow how difficult the investigation was. > But this is not the only activity of Prosecutor Remy. He is gfeing after the constables who have proved themselves a nuisance in Marion County. He is looking into the affairs of the Slate highway commission as rapidly as official interference fpom'.the Statehouse will permit. ~ All this is going on during campaign year and. as a result. Remy, who is a candidate for re-election, is losing a lot of perfectly good Republican votes. He has a habit of tramping on the toes of politicians who are not obeying the law. ; But at the same time he is winning the respect of the lawabiding citizens of the community. He is making himself a greater asset than a political machine could be—a good record. ROOSEVELTS, FATHER AND SOX THEODORE ROOSEVELT is being run for governor of New York. t Prominent among the bosses handling the job for him :4 Frank W. Monde 11 of Wyoming, a lame duck, who was rejected by the. voters of his own State because of his standpit record in Congress. t Mondell is the chief spellbinder on the special tram that is hurrying young Roosevelt about the Empire State. .* Among the leading arguments being cited in young T. R/s fivoris the fact that he is his father's son. 2 Undoubtedly that is true. 5 However, the presence of Mondell in Roosevelt's bodyguard recalls what T. R. Sr. wrote of this same Mondell. He is “ a Congressman who took the lead in every measure to prevent conservation of our national resources and the preservation of the national domain for the use of home-seekers’’ “consistently fought for local and private interests, against tlxe interests of the people as a whole.” t These quotations are from the autobiography of the late President Roosevelt.

Li 7 Hero By HAL COCHRAN When you comb a kid's hair, why it surely would seem that he’d kinda be proud of his looks. But lictei* here, folks, that is only a dream that you read of in fairy-tale books. A child stands and frets while features are scrubbed. At the washbowl lie seldom stands pat. He’s kinda afraid that he’ll likely be dubbed a sissy or somethin’ like that. AVhm you dress a boy up in the best suit he's got and you know that e couldn t look better, he’ll hone? ly tell you it’s all tommyrot and ie’d rather go round in his sweat r. Aw, /a can’t make a hero of real little boys by washin’s and trimmin's and such. Just bandage a finger they’ve cut on some toys and you give ’em the real hero touch. (Copyright, 1924, NBA Service, Inc.) i T-Toosierisms BV GAYLORD NELSON T' IHE Indianapolis Foundation has opened a free employ—J ment bureau at 113 E. Vermont St. This is one of the first activities it has undertaken. A free employment bureau might seem a small time project. But it isn’t. As the number who have already registered with it proves. Man’s most pressing problem is to retain a sure grip on a job. This is particularly true of the more unskilled laborer. His employment is transient. A job has a way of dropping out from under him without w'arning—compelling him to scurry for another. Usually he can’t afford loss of time between jobs. Even when they 1 are abundant, he is not so many I jumps ahead of the wolf that he can 1 indulge in a prolonged rest. With him work does not seek the ; man. It must be hunte Skilled trades and oc- ur.ants of real positions do not fi sudden severance from a pay roll so serious. If one pay roll fades out. another may be sought leisurely. The unskilled, however, needs a quick-action employment agency—to him a free burenu is n boon. The free bureau of the foundation won’t lack customers. For. in spite ! of talk of better times, jobs arc not j yet so plentiful as to clutter up the streets and he a public nuisance. Not in Indianapolis. Registration "| ARION COUNTY brok ■ a record Monday, when i: roiled i___J up a registrar.on total of I 191,944. There are 224)00 no re vot ers registered than in 191", the previous high tide. Women make up almost 40 per cent of the total. We are good citlons —if sufficient.lv urged—and it is doubtful if any county in the United States, of equal population, has registered a higher percentage of eligilie voters One hundred per cent registration is impossible. Simon-pure 100 per cents, of any kind, are scarce in this world Even Ivory Soap is only 99.4 per cent pure, and one-eyed Cyclops run less. But the result of our registration is gratifying. Because not al! of the increase can be attributed to popula i tion growth. There are 206 precincts in the county. The registration averages | more than 900 voters to a precinct ; Election day will be busy in some precincts—if all vote. Why shouldn’t all vote? Registration is half the civic duty j —the other half is the ballot. Failure to vote after registering is as | pointless as playing "Hamlet” with I out the durable Dane In the cast. Election day will be our citizenship i test.. If the vote cast approaches the j registration total, Marion County can pat itself on the hack and admit i it is good. For it will have done its full dutyl Hogs ESTERDAY at the Indianapolis stockyards the price of -J heavy hogs reached ? 11.75 per hundredweight. One year ago the ton price was $8.65. The unlovely hog is again becoming a creature of value instead of a I short cut to the poorhduse. And the ! back-broken agriculturist who owns •a small equity in swine has cause to rejoice If there’s enough of him left to rejoice. It is time the swine are betting back. They can still travel a long way before they cross from the debit to the credit column. If six thin slices of bacon cost 40 cents in an Indianapolis restaurant, : how much is a 300 pound hog worth | at the stockyards? There’s a .good cross word puzzle for the ultimate consumer. Health R. H. R. EDWARDS of New York is in Indianapolis to i- conduct a health survey of the city and county with special reference to the campaign against tuberculosis. He comes at the request of the State board of health, the city board of health and anti-tuberculosis associations. Public health now receives attention ir. all progressive cities. For wa have learned that a community's riches aien’t locked In bank vaults, showy buildings, or factories. The greatest assets of a city walk its streets —because the inhabitants form the true wealth. A sick population is a weak, poverty stricken population. Mosquitoes and malaria, nor hostile barbarians, conquered Greece and Rome. So far public work has achieved its most striking victories in combating tuberculosis. That characteristic city plague is gradually yielding to organize health work. For now we know that, although it is deadly, it can’t stand fresh air. It is, however, only one of the bad conditions that yield to systematic public health efforts. Gold jingles pleasantly in the pocket of individual or nation, but it isn’t as valuable to either as good health. For without health nothing matters much. It is a national asset. And public health work should be a major industry.

CAN ELECTOR BALLOT HIS OWN WAY? \ Pressure May Be Brought to Chapge Vote After Election, Times Washington Bureau, 132: .Xew York Ave. Tyy] ASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Has yy John Smith, a Coolidge elec- ; tor, the right to switch his • vote to Davis or La Follette in case ! there is a threatened possibility that ! the three candidates for President j will run a close race. | In the past no elector has betrayed ! the party which named him. That 1 none will do so in the future is, howI ever, far from certain. Electors for President take no oath of office. They give merely a tacit pledge to vote for the candidate of the party of which they are themselves members. Only Rubber Stamps Absolute adherence to this pledge by all past electors has made of the electoral college an organization with only rubber-stamp authority. In the closest of all presidential elections, that of 1876, when Tilden received 184 electoral votes and Hayes 185, it lay within the power of a single Republican elector to throw the election to Tilden. While such action would not be a criminal offense, it would constitute political treason and mean the political death of the offender. If tho rpproachin, election should result in one of the candidates obtaining almost the requisite 266 votes which would make him President, ; pressure would undoubtedly be 1 brought on some of the electors | pledger! to support one of the gther ; candidates. Might Be Able to Switch In this hypothetical case only ‘he moral character of the individual electors would prevent surrender to this pressure. Pome party leaders have taken the ! position that in case of i threatened ieadlock. the electors would he just as free to switch as the delegates to a national political convention. Otl. Joseph C. Bonner, former ! chairman of the Republican State i committee of Ohio, believes that thole,tion could be kept out or , onmess if the (lectors would on'v | exercise their “right” to vote, n ,c | necessarily in conformity with the party designation. "It would tie quite proper,” he said, 'for the convention system to he followed. When there is a deadlock, ! delegates swing from one to another ! candidate in the face of their Instructions ” • Few party leaders are ready to ‘agree with Uojonel Bonner. They j base their disagreement on the long i record of adherence to election I pledges by all past electors, nnd to the assured disgrace th. it would ! await any -elector who failed to live up to the pledge he had given his j people. Tom Sims Says More men have loafed themselves to death than worked themselves to death. Divorce comes not when they arc tired of each other, but when they arc not tired of someone else. Many a pair of pressed trousers haven't a nickel in their pockets. Some peopio can't see the point unless you get down to brass tacks. The antl-everythlng Is all right In his place, which isn't on top of the earth. Ts Dempsey wants to fight he might try a job as a rent collector. Rats in the pantry cost more than they are worth. The stulf that dreams are made of Is found in the vanity case. Men who can’t fight should have pleasant dispositions.

Science Evidence is piling up rapidly that by the time of the next war the battleship will be obsolete. In fact, many authorities claim that it is practically useless today. Fourteen years ago. ar. admiral of a fleet of United States warships, during maneuvers off the Pacific coast, watched the one airplane that participated. The altitude record of 1910. of a mile, had not yet been esj tablished by the great French flyer, ! Raulhan, and the plane was operat--1 ;ng in what would be considered today a \cry slow and cautious man- ! ner four or five hundred feet high. ! The admiral said: "Well, they are very Interesting things and may be : "f some use In sport, but they never j will amount to anything in warfare i —not in naval warfare, anyway. I could have my men bring that fel- ' low down in a few seconds.” Today airplanes, by dropping j bombs, have demonstrated that they ! can put any battleship out of busi- | n.'-ss. Recent experiments also have ! proved that they can launch torpedoes in the water. The great ■ speed and maneuvering ability of the airplane make* It far more -linger- - ous as a carrier of torpedoes than destroyers or other ships. Nature A Roumanian proverb says: "Show !me a garden where lilies grow and I’ll show you a house where the plague may not go.” Now is the season when lily bulbs are planted. Dr. Tom Carpenter of Alameda. Cal., says he saw a policeman stop I all traffic on a prominent corner to | permit a confused dog to cross over in safety. 1 Some boys at Ludovici, Ga., dragged a bear pup out of the swamp and tied him to a stake. He wouldn’t eat and was ugly as sin to all who approached but when Miss Helen Williams presented him with a seenjent of watermelon he ate it ravenously and licked her hands in token of friendship.
