Indiana's Educational Campaign

The educational campaign which is to be waged in Hoosierdom for ten days, beginning Nov. 7, is not for the purpose of raising money

or raising salaries, but for the purpose of acquainting the people of Indiana with the plan necessary to improve the efficiency of the school system. - The citizens of Indiana have been proud of their school system for many years, but disclosures show that our pride is not based on facts. The Russell Sage Foundation, which has made a scientific investigation of .the efficiency of the systems of education in all the states and territories of the United States, covering a period beginning with 1910, places our state seventeenth among the American commonwealths. The rank is not a flattering one. It emphatically destroys any claims we may have made in the past to educational supremacy. It proves without shadow of doubt that the boys and girls

of this state are not receiving the preparation for life to which they are entitled. It urges us to study our educational system with the object of improving it. The educational campaign should be a salutary one. Indiana must rank among the highest for its interest in education. The public dares not neglect the schooling of its youth, for in them lies the hope of the future. The years a boy or girl spends in school cannot be recalled. If the educational system is unable to offer the boys and girls adequate schooling, to hire capable instructors, to equip properly its schoolrooms, to erect new buildings, to adopt new methods and to apply new theories, the state is recreant to a high duty and its citizens liable to the severest criticism. Our educational system must be maintained at the highest point of efficiency. There may be other pressing demands on the public funds, but paramount to all financial requirements and

more important than all other considerations is the improvement of the schools. If Indiana has been negligent, the time' is here when action must supplant sloth and indifference. - ' First Voters Fifty per cent, perhaps more, of the voters

who go to the polls next month will cast their ballots for the first time. Women, and young men who have just attained their majority, are in this class. Both parties know that the first voters need instruction as to the proper method of voting so

that the ballot actually will record the choice of the elector and that it will not be mutilated so that it will be thrown out when the count is made. For that reason they are launching a campaign of instruction. First voters will find it decidedly to their advantage to watch the news

papers carefully' until election day for advice as to the proper method of handling the ballot. If a voter is unable to mark his ballot intelligently and to observe the regulations that are prescribed, he will invalidate it by his own action. Three weeks will elapse before election day, but all voters, young and old, should remember that if 23,547 electors go to the polls they will tax the accommodations to the limit. Hitherto a large number have waited until shortly before the closing of the polls, causing congestion and

some confusion. Vote early at the forthcoming election. Vote before noon if you can. Avoid the rush. If you are not in the voting room when the hour of six strikes, your vote is lost. Your position outside the door at this hour will not entitle you to enter. Only a certain number of voters are admitted into the room at the same time. The law as strict on this point. One of the election commissioners, who has had years of experience in election affairs, said recently : "There is no question that if voters delay their voting there will be many who will be shut out of the polls at the last minute."

There will be the same number of voting places as at former elections, but the number of

voters in each precinct virtually has been doubled, suggesting emphatically that some will be shut out of the polls if they wait until the

last minute to cast their ballots.

Vote early to be sure that you will be able to

cast your ballot.

Five Minutes with Our Presidents

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

THE ART IN YOUR HEART Art is much. Life without it is little indeed. So that to perform the artistic task in our existence 13 to live well. For art is the expression of the delicate and beautiful. Though in. all art there is an inexplaiuable depth of

power. We see the art of the world with our eyes, we appreciate it with our minds but we feel it in our hearts. It Js thi art in your heart which counts most of all. Kindness, gentleness and courtesy are all arts and a very important phase of art in general. When people carry loveliness in their hearts, they express it in whatever they do, whether that expression is in the shape of a painting, a" bit of bronze, or some fine act.

There are artists beside tnose vno paint with brushes and those who have the ability to thrill great crowds with the tones of their fingered skill. The greatest artist of all is he who In his heart is an artist. And only those with art in their own hearts are able to appreciate fully the art in another's heart. Art is co-operative. It is democratic. It is sublime! It is the art in your heart which makes you want to be useful and happv and to give out from the best you have, or hope to have. There is nothing selfish about art. Love is the essence of art. No artist ever could be great without it, any more than he cpuld become great without heart. If your.heart is rich in art, and in the appreciation of everything that it contributes, then you may rest assured that there can be no finer success or better happiness than this. It's the art in folk's heart that makes them smile!

he has one consulation, at least. He was insulted by an expert. Any man who is living wih his wife and her four Bisters is not making any funny cracks as to who are the five most beautiful women in America. Once we jumped half way across the continent, and when we reached our destination we were met by a lawyer who held an unpaid bill of $4.56 for groceries which we had forgotten to pay in the excitement of moving. Many of them go to hotels their goods in their hands until we come across with the kale. This makes us very indignant. It also spoils outplans to dabble in high and mighty finance. When we owe him any money he is on oUjT neck like a New Jersey mosquito, and we have as much of a chance to get away with anything as" the night watchman has in a tombstone works.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

YEARS AND WISDOM I've lived about a hundred years, and as I lived I looked around; and In the course of time, my dears, some chunks of wisdom I have found. I've found that kindness always pays; it smoothes the path we have to tread, and takes much anguish from our days, and lulls us when we go to bed. Speak kindly of the man next door; he'll hear the unkind things you've said, and they make make his spirit sore, so he will come and punch your head. Speak

kindly of the grocer's clerk, who

stung you when you bought some rice; he's wearied by his grinding work, and so got balled up on the price. Speak kindly of all men who pass; they need kind words to make them glad; they're trying hard to cut their grass, and hands are tired and hearts are sad.

My life has been a joyride great, be

cause I hate no man on earth, and in the cheapest kind of skate I try to find

some signs of worth. I have about a million friends, who smile upon me when we meet, and when my little journey ends, my funeral will be a treat. The boys will boost me on-that day, not for the silly rhymes I grind, nor for my wreath of fragrant hay, but for the fact that I was kind.

Garfield Is the only president who was present at his own nomination.

The presidential lightning struck him as he sat In his seat in that most extraordinary and exciting national convention which met at Chicago in 18S0. After many great wars in history, partisan band3 have kept up the strife for years in the form of brigandage, asserting the right to "live off the country" which they had fought to save. In our unmilitary but very political country, these bands after the Civil war went into politics instead of taking to the saddle and the highway, and they thrived on the spoils of office and in legislative jobbery. Clans or factions, springing up in many Northern states to battle for the control of the patronage and the special

favors of legislation, devotedly followed such chieftains as Blaine of Maine, Conkling of New York, the Camerons of Pennsylvania, Zach Chandler of Michigan. Logan of Illinois and Morton of Indiana. Although the Hayes administration had marked the end of hat epoch the clansmen refused to disband and made their last stand in the Republican national convention of 13S0.

venge by entering while Conkllng was speaking, and the welcoming cheers drowned the voice of the indignant speaker. On the third day the two came to grips in a debate and the Ohioan scored on the New Yorker. While the gallery still was cheering the victor in that round, Conkllng wrote on the margin of a newspaper

and sent to Garfield a mocking suggestion that he was playing to the gallery in his own interest: "I congratulate you on being a dark horse!" In truth Garfield could not rise in the convention without helping himself more than he helped Sherman, who never had a chance to win. As ballot after ballot was taken, it became plain that neither the "immortal 306" who followed Grant overcome the prejudice against a third term In the white house, and it was made equally plain that this "Old Guard" never would surrender to Blaine. A new candidate was necessary if the convention was not to fall to pieces in factions. One solitary vote for Garlield on most of the ballots had continued to point the finger of destiny at him. Wisconsin pointed all her fingers In his direction when her delegation broke to him on the 34th ballot.

There he rumbled the aglUted candidate Into a public hack, the top of which was frantically torn away before the driver could whip his horses out ot the mass of yelling curious people who never before had seen a man struck by presidential lightning. The Garfield campaign opened badly. The "Stalwarts" sulked in their tents and the effort to "fire the Northern heart' with the old war cries against the South had been made difficult by President Hayes policy of reconciliation. The Democrats had been carrying the country at every election for six years, and the September election in Maine foreshadowed another victory for them in the national election in November. But the bankers "Wall Street" took alarm because the Democrats bad won in Maine by a coalition with' the Greenbackers, and they aroused, the business interests to take a hanfl in the campaign. These powerful forces brought the "Stalwarts" and "

the '"Halt Breeds" together and Induc

ed ConkTing," Grant and tfce disaffected leaders to go to the rescue of Garfield. - The office-holders also were warned of their peril of being turned out. and the assessments on them helped to swell the biggest campaign fund in history up to that time. Garfield himself anxiously inquired of the chief collector at Washington, "How are the. departments doing?" It was the first ot our national campaigns in which money talked out loud. The tide was turned in the October election in Indiana, as Chester A. Arthur frankly chuckled, "by a great deal ot" here the vice presidentelect paused, silently washing his hands in invisible soap, and then he ironically added, ". . . tracts and political documents." A more worthy aid to victory was supplied by Gen. Garfield. His man
