Al! rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. : ;The Appointment of Charles E. Hughes The appointment of Mr. Hughes to be secretary of state, as well as the announcement of President-elect Harding that he proposes not to interfere with the work of this cabinet official, meets with the hearty approval of the American people. Mr. Hughes, by reason of his training and his wide experience in. public affairs, is amply qualified to hold a position whose duties will require ability of the highest order. Mr. Hughes will be confronted by grave and serious questions from the very" outset, many of them offering complications that can be traced to the outgoing administration. America's relation with foreign countries will present knotty problems to the next secretary of states It is fortunate, indeed, thtit Presidentelect Harding selected a man who has had the requisite training to cope with them. A man of inferior ability, selected only because of his political influence, probably might have plunged us into embarrassing situations. Mr. Hughes will not be hampered in his study of foreign affairs and in his recommendations by a chief who wishes to assume all the responsibility and take all the credit. Mr. Hughes and President-elect Harding undoubtedly agree on the major principles of action regarding our foreign affairs, and it will be the task of Mr. Hughes to carry them out, without fearing that the chief executive will interfere. The close co-operation between the two leaders should result in a policy that will express the traditional attitude of the republic toward foreign countries and the solution of problems on the basis of justice and honor.
Push the Home Rule Bill "The sine. die, adjournment of the generalassembly is not far off. The home rule bill, however, has not passed the house and no action of any kind has been taken on the measure in the senate. Assurances have been given that the bill will be quickly advanced through successful legislative steps to a final vote, but that is no reason why proponents of the measure should relax their interest. Mere introduction of the bill in the general assembly; and its favorable report out of committee are only the preliminaries toward its enactment into law. It still faces the crucial test of a final vote in the house and of action in the senate! Opponents of the measure may defeat it in the house, despite the many assurances that it will pass that body without fail. The situation in the senate is not clear. It has been said that the majority of senators are
opposed to home rule; and, on the other hand, it has been asserted with positive assurance that the senate will act favorably on the legislation. This uncertainty demands that friends of the bill maintain their agitation for action in the house and prepare to rush the measure through the preliminaries in the senate to a final vote. It is .unreasonable to expect that the home rule bill wiii oe made a matter of special business in the senate and that other legislation pending in that body will be sidetracked to give it a right of way. Therein lies the danger of procrastination. If the bill does not reach the senate until the closing days of the session, it may be delayed in committee or held up until it is too late to obtain a vote. Municipalities that are interested in the passage of the bill should keep their representatives and senators informed of their wish that the measure be enacted into law. If they are inclined to believe that the people are not deeply concerned or are divided in sentiment, they will not be zealous to push the bill toward enactment and to vote in its favor. It is never a safe procedure to take for granted that the general assembly will pass or defeat a measure. There have been too many examples of the folly of relying implicitly on surface indications to warrant the prediction that the home rule bill, although asked for by many cities, will be written on the statute books. It is far better not to be too optimistic and to work assiduously in behalf of the proposed legislation. The friends of the measure inthe house and senate can be relied on to do what is in their power to push the bill along. Citizens must, however, convince its opponents that there is worth in the legislation and that Indiana cities have reached a point where they are tired of political administration and want a business-like government by means of a commission or managerial form of municipal supervision.

The Arts and Crafts Display The appreciation of furnishings for the home that will be both serviceable and artistic will be strengthened by the display of arts and crafts in the public art gallery. The exhibit was arranged by the Richmond Art "association, which for many years has been one of the leading institutions in our community for the development of art. A notable advance in the artistic furnishings of our homes is to be noted in the last years, owing to the gradual permeation of true art ideas through the public, to the teaching of art in schools, and to an application of art principles by the manufacturers of the many articles that enter into the furnishing of the home. A visit to the art gallery will give us an opportunity to see many beautiful articles and by personal application to see how our homes may be enhanced in beauty by substituting the genuinely artistic for the grotesque and bizarre.
Some of us may believe that beauty is to be j
sought only in painting, statues and jewelry, and that it cannot be found in the other articles that serve a useful purpose in the home. The exhibit at the art gallery will be illuminating on that point alone.
Answers to Questions
V Some years ago I read a little poem which tells in rhyme on what Sunday Easter will fall in any year. In discussing the matter with some friends, we are much puzzled over the method of fixing the date of this movable religious feast. Is it convenient for you to print this poem so that we can commit it to memory and thus be able at once to fix the date of Easter? We give below the poem you have in mind: THE DATE OF EASTER. Thirty days hath September Every person can remember, Hut to know when Easters come Puzzles even scholars some. When March the twenty-first is past, Just watch the silvery moon. And when you see it full and round, Know Easter'll be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full, Then Easter will be here The very Sunday after, In each and every year. And if it happens on Sunday The moon should reach its height. The Sunday following this event Will be the Easter bright.
Subscriber How much gold is there used for money In the world, and who has it? The total supply of gold used as money in the world is about eight and a half billion dollars. The United States has three and one-half billion dollars of this total. The total wealth of the United Staes, inluding all real estate, improvements and personal property, is estimated at $280,000,000,000, so the three and one-half billion of cold currency is small in comparison.

Rippling Rhymes , By WALT MASON
THE PRISON We have to punish those who fail to walk the narrow way, for law and order must prevail, or 'there's the deuce to pay; and so we put lewd men in jail, for stealing bales of hay. And we've been jailing sinful guys through all the bitter years since Adam brushed the pesky flies from off his brindled steers; and often, often, doubts must rise if wisdom here appears. We've jailed such multitudes or men, for long or shorter spells, we've sent so many to the pen and locked them in their cells; if jails improved the world, why. then, it rhould be wearing bolls. And every time we jail a skate for swiping bales of hay, we let some greater reprobate unshackled go hi ay, to bear his nlunder in a crate, or haul it in a t'ray. The prison is a beastly place that reeks of nameless grime, and he ,iA far fram heaven's grace, who's in i. drifts time, and bitter lines are on I'.Js fac, and in his heart is crime. Kevenge on those who put him there, is what he thinks of most, the jurist in his padded chair, the stall-fed legal host: his soul is cankered in despair, rnd justice sems a ghost. Some clay t'ie old world must Invent a better kind of pen th.it. will not make the evring cent go forth to sin again; for "-Non ir a punishment for beasts, and not for men.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It". "Up"
PERSONALITY I walked into a hotel the other day. I had never been there before. No one knew that I was coming or who I was. To them I was just a "guest." But I had not gotten ten feet into the lobby before I felt welcomed. There was an air about the place that made me glad that I had come. There was unusual courtesy on the part of attendants. And as I glanced around I could see in the faces of those who were my companion guests that they felt what I felt. You see, the hotel had "personality. I left that public home happier than when I went in. And I have been thinking about it ever since. I have had impressed upon me the great importance of having a personality about my individual house the place where I so often invite those I love and honor to come. On the train the other day, I unexpectedly met a man whom I had known for a long time. We talked of many things. But he had a caustic tongue. He seemed to take pleasure in saying things that cut. I left him gladly hoping never to see him again. His viewpoint on the world, on people and events, was narrow and bitter. I reviewed that man's life from the 10 years or so that had gone so quickly since first I met him. I bore In mind that he was no further along than he was then. His personality was all wrong. Either we carry people along with us and Inspire them with courage and splendid confidence, or we become as the enemy who sowed tares in the field where the wheat was to spring. If you are a merchant or business man, do you ever take the time to consider just the sort of personality you have about "you in your business? Does it make people want to trade with you? As a man or woman, can you feel that every one who leaves you carries away something that they, in turn, are going to distribute as something very beneficial to the world? Personality means so much!

Mr. Mugg Anything in the newspapers, dear? Mrs. Mugg Not much, love. Mrs. Gaybird, the well-known society leader, having remembered that she has not seen her daughter for the last five days, has notified tne police that the girl is missing.
Two magnificently upholstered women, built on generous lines, as the auto ads say, were waiting in the theater lobby while the crowds streamed by. There came a pretty girl, so pretty indeed that everyone turned their heads to admire. As she passed the two women, one said: "She makes me just plain tired." A "I don't know," said the other, "she was a most beautiful creature." "That's Just it," replied the first. "I have arrived at that stage where a pretty girl is a personal insult."
