FIXING THE BLAME. No less a person than Herbert Hoover again nails the hide of the incompetent administration to the wall by charging publicly that it. Is to blame for the outrageous sugar prices and famine. Mr. Hoover should have spoken right out iu meeting and blamed ihe man who is really at fault. Hoover said: "If the administration had adopted the sugar equalization hoard's recommendation last September it could have bought raw Cuban sugar for t 1-2 cent pound and supplied the finished product to American ( ont un-ors in abundant amounts at 12 cents a pound. Mr. Hoover" Swaid the situation could not be remedied -. liv Attornev General Palmer's threats to punish sugar profiteers. The sugar speculation is world-wide and requires something more than a raid on American profiteering, he said. He made two suggestions: The administration should open negotiations with other nations to obtain an agreement to stop America and Europe bidding against each other for the sugar supply. There should be a rationing of sugar supplies to nonessential consumers, such as manufacturers of candy and soft drinks. " The present sugar position is due simply to bad business administration," eaid Mr. Hoor. '"As the result of failure to act last September, we are subject to unparalleled speculation and profiteering. The present situation discriminates tearibly against the poor. The increase in price is imposing an additional tax cn our people of about $50 per family per annum and will tost our consumers over a billion dollars more than Inst year:" And then some wobblers and one-track minds want the country, to be burdened again with a Wilson or a Wilson satellite!

robody filed the name of any other person, Indiana voters were placed in the position of preferring bim for the vice-presidency, when, as a matter of fact, they do not care a whoop for him. There has been no wild acclaim over his victory but If any one has stopped to think about it. it has been to indulge in dark rneditiationa on the follies of the Indiana primary. In trying to get away from the erila of the old convention system, it was generally agreed a few years ago that it would be worth while to try something else. The experiment has been made and found to be nnythingbut satisfactory. The primary law requires two long, expensive and racking campaigns. The convention system at least make it poasible for a party's representatives to consider and compare candidates. Pome one of the deleiates at least would have looked up the authorities to find who William Grant Webkstcr is b.fore committing Indiana to his support for the vice-presidency.

AT THE OLD GAME, Ju.t what do you uppnsf Senator Johnson and his supporters would have caid had the vote in Lake county been reveroed and made to favor General ' Wood? Here we have the returns from forty odd precincts held back for two whole days and when returned made -to show an almost unanimous vote for Senator Johnson. Nor yet la thts the worst of it. In Isk county we find more than S.799 republican votes caat iin Tuesday's primary than were caat in (he regular election two yeara ajro. And Hiram Johnson the beneficiary of this sudden and unejrpeetedinerease in voting population: Again we auk what would Hiram have had to aay had conditions in Lake county been reversed? Fort Wayne News. This is a sample of the slanders that Lake county suffers. The" returns from 40 precincta or any precinct were not held back at all. neither were 6,700 more republican votes cast than at the regvilar election. The unofficial returns were published the day after election. Lake county has grown amazingly 6ince 1318, and the more it grows the more republican it is. Besides, a large number of democrats have seen the error of their ways and voted in the primary as they expect to at the coming election for republican candidates.

WHO WEBSTER IS! A primary judge in a certain Hammond polling place had just, handed a voter bis ballot last Tuesday and the voter had occupied the sacred confines of the booth for a minute when the primary board was edified with the snort "who the hell is William Grant Webster?" from the booth. None of them could tell him. Probably thousands of vcters in the primary wondered over the same thing and it is left to the Indianapolis News to tell: 'The voters of republican tickets at the primary the other day found the name of William Grant Webster as a candidate for the vice-presidency. Some of them did not vote at all for the vice-presidential candidate. They had never heard of 'Webster, and they could not, under the law, write in the name of some one that they really would have cared to vote for. There are rarely candidates for the vice-presidency. Precedent has marte it unusual for a man to seek this office. Mr. Webster is a Lieutenant-Governor or county commissioner, or something or other down east. Who's Who gives some information about him. but every voter has not a copy of Who's Who and there is none on file at the precinct voting place. The fact 'that a man is not generally known, of course, does not disqualify him for office, or prove his unfitness; but naturally the voter would like to know something about the man who is proposed for a position that may lead to his occupying the presidential (hair. Mr. Webster is dcubtless a sound lawyer and ohalified for the position of vice-president. But simply because seme one filed his name as a candidate, and

"EXPERIMENTING" WITH MATRIMONY. The unconventional marriage of Miss Fannie Hurst and Jacques S. Danielson has nothing to commend it to people holding in respect the institutions of organized society. Whether one regards marriage as a civil contract or as representing divine sanction of the union of

jtwo souls, its chief merits .are tnat it is gone into with

intent that it shall ne permanent and tnat it establishes as legal and moral relationships that ctherwise would be vicious and abominable. Further, marriage implies mutual grant of rights and privileges and assumption of duties and obligations. Without these there can be no true marriage. Obviously, though a couple go through the legal forms that are recognized by society as constituting their marriage, , if they make a supplemental contract based on reservations to the vows to which they subscribe comfortably to convention or law, they can hardly have legalized selves as truly married, however much the ceremony may have legalized certain rlationships which they may assume. We are told that the marriage mentioned was in the nature of an experiment In "working out of a problem of the highly specialized needs of two professional people." The couple, who made their agreement five years ago under pledge to Veep it secret, intended to "try out marriage for a year and at the end of that .period go quietly apart, should the venture prove a liability instead of an asset." It is possible that the principals in this strangely unconjugal adventure have experienced a changa. of mind and will put themselves in accord with conventional modes of life. It is to be hoped so, for the example they have given is not one to be conplated with patience by people having respect for the commonly respected principles of morality. 1 OUT IN KANSAS hailstones as large as a man's fist are reported. Heretofore a hen's egg has been the standard, but Kansas can be depended upon to produce something original.

The Last Corn

When you end your corn with Bluejay, it will be the last corn you let growYou will knowhow to stop the pain. And how to quickly and completely end all corns. ' There are millions who use Bluejay now, and they -never let a corn remain. The new-day way Blue-jay is the new-day way, the scientific method. It was perfected in a laboratory world-famed for its surgical dressings. It is supplanting the many treatments which are harsh and inefficient. It has made paring as ridiculous as it is unsafe, for paring doesn't end corns. Do this tonight: Apply to a corn a Blue-jay plaster or liquid Blue-jay whichever you prefer. Mark how the pain stops. Then wait a little and the com will loosen and come out

OBtl III

What that corn does all corns will do. Some 20 million corns a year are ended in this way. Don't suffer corns. Don't have your feet disfigured. They can be ended almost as easily as a dirt-spot on your face. They are just as inexcusable. Don't forget this. It means too much to you. Ask your druggist for Blue-jay.
