GOODRICH SWITCHES 6!1 STATE CONTROL

Reverses Former Opposition to Public Ownership in Demand for Purchase of Coal Mines.

CONVICT LABOR IS FEARED

Indianapolis, Ind. Governor Goodrich's sudden advocacy of a state owned and operatod coal mine, which constitutes a couple to roversal of hit previous stand on the question of government ownership, promises to develop tho paramount Issue In the coming special session of tho legislature. His pronouncement In favor of tho acquisition by the stato of a mine came as a distinct surprise, oven to people who recall speeches In which ho bitterly denounced government ownership. . On October 14, 1010, Governor Goodrich, In addressing tho Grain Dealers' National Association at St Louis, blUerly arraigned radical labor and tho public ownership of utilities "England Is now grappling witl tha labor organizations of the em pire," ho said. "Tho railroad strike has just ended but tho demand foi the nationalization of her mines means of communication and trans purtation Is still insistent." Further on ho lamented tho "severo restrictions applied to our trans portation companios" whrch "stifled tho development of our railroads and led naturally to tho break down Just before ' wo entered the world war.' Continuing, ho said: "Tho American

"Theso radicals," ho continued, after flaying tho labor leaders, "would nationalize railroads and coal mines first and then all tho other instru meats of production. They would Substitute for private owner ship and Individual Initiative com munal ownership and operation and thus rediiro r"n to a dull instrument of product! .i dry up the impulses, of his ambition." Some 1 1 the opponents of the tc':ie::ie fr;:r that Governor Goodrich would hi:U on working the statt owned mine with convict labor, and point out tiiat prisoners were used by the Globe Mining Company in open ing a pit in Pike county a little mere than a year ago. The fact that the otliccrs of the company were Pierre F. Goodrich, the governor's son; J. T. Moorman and E. J. Robison, his close political confidantes, has given riso to a suspicion that men from the penal farm and the Jeffersonville reformatory might be employed. The governor became highly indignant when some of the opponents of the measure referred to his proposal as "socialistic" and denied f.hat he had changed his mind regarding government ownership and operation. He also became incensed over the report that convict labor might be employed in the industry, but because he has never satisfactorily explained the use of prisoners in a mine owned by his son there is a doubt, especially among labor leaders, as to the real purposes he has in view.

Indianapolls, Ind. Senator James E. Watson has held two important conferences in Indianapolis within the last few days, both bearing an important relation to his future political, course. One had to deal with the removal of Ora J. Davics of Kokomo, Republican candidate fcr state treasurer, from the ticket, and the other was in regard to the campaign expenditures of Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood. ' Watson handed Davies tho nomination through a series of deals and still champions him. despite the expose which revealed that he had hern found short in his accounts while treasurer of Howard county. Davie3, it is said, proved an important link in the Watson organizatiou during

the primary campaign and aided ma

terially in furthering the Harding cause by acting as a lieutenant for the senator, For that reason Watson is loth to drop him from the ticket.

In the conference some of the lead

ers are said to have requested Watson to order Davies out of the campaign, but this he refused to do, according to authentic reports. In the second conference tho sena tor sought to gain some additional facts about the campaign expend!' tures of General Wood. According to information which leaked out of tho parley Senator Watson hopes to unearth some startling details which

might Involve prominent Indianians

The Maple rustled as she spoke, as If she were already dressed In her line new clothes. 440h, I would choose to bo drcssoil like my cousin Marigold In tho garden," said the Chestnut tree. 4,I have always admired her color." 4I quite agree with your choice, my dear," said the Beech tree, "only I

would choose the slrade like the tall Sunflower which looks over the jarden wall.' "But all this choosing of colors for our gowns does not get them," said the Maple, "and it seems to me that our sister Oak can help us, for does she not furnish for the fairies and the goblins their cups? Everyone '. liows that acorns are fairy and goblin dishes. The Sturdy Oak began to move. l never thought of that," she said. "I'll nsk this very night." And she did, but tho fairies told hrr they could do very little beside getting the goblins to listen to their request for Jack Frost kept all the fall shades up in his house In the Xorth. "You sve," said the fairies, "you could not put on those gay colors when the fluwers are In bloom because the green Is needed to make the world beautiful, but we are jsuro that later in the season you could have your wish." The Goblins listened to the trees and promisfd ttv see Jack Frost soon as he was awake, and when the llouors went to sleep that season thc trees were given their new clothes and there they stood all gay and beautiful like a huge bouquet, and every year since that time they have changed their dresses as soon as the llowers went to sleep. "And to think that we wore those green clothes all that time," said the Maple, "when for the asking we were given these beautiful clothes the Very latet autumn colors." But so proud were these trees In their new gowns that they rustled and shook themselves until all their gay leaves full off, and though every year they think they will be more careful, their pride Is fo great they cannot stand still and when winter days come they are without ajeaf to rover them.
