MAYOR CARSON'S DEFEAT IS REBUKE ALSO FOR PARTISAN ISCARIOTS. Thre is much of eacred history reflected in the result cf yesterday's primary. Mayor Carson may ridit hi- defeat, much as to any one thins, to takln?: too confidently the e IU nee of hLs party, as api roving his administration with respect to the noeinl evils, little realizing that at tho appropriate time every advantage would be taken of his conduct, and that the name brand of politics that made him could also slay him. The success of Mr. Kli F. SeeHrt comeg from that popular hysteria of the time?, horn of an intensity of part'.f ar.ihlp hat known no consistency, and no bounds; caiitallzea moral Issuer, or anything conceivable for the moment, the quest of which is for ;ovcr, after a manner in which the end always Justifies the m-.nr. The anti-Carson vote in the voice of the women, very plainly; women who have not felt responsibility for the republican rilcnce before the hour that they attained the ballot. They did not put Mr. Carson in office and more than half of his term had passed before they were tossed into- th polltlo.il -whirlpool. Wo hope, at least, that thl their state of mind and that now, whoever should be elected, they will not do aa the men have done with Carson, acquiesce in such wrons-doini? as Carson indulged, leading him deer er and deeper into it. Iscarlotlike, only to throw him when political expediency and their own quest of power demands. Ordinarily, as an independent newspaper, arlvocative of pood Froyernment, Mr. Seebirt niipht have "been the logical candidate for us to recommend for the republican nomination. However, the time to effect cood government is during administrations, watchful of what they are doin?r. and If doins wronpr, not to screen it, apologize for It, deny it and so on. lest some political party puffer, but to show Immediate Interest and insistence that ' tho vror.ps bo corrected. reKardlei of where the stlsina Iv.uls. reople who really want pood government are more concerned about it then they are about shielding bad pnvernrnent; are more interested in pettinp it and having it for three years and a half, than they are in talklnp about it for six months as a leverage for pettinp into public

The pilence of' the past three-and-a-half year?, the condoning of the Carson administration in matters of vice, refusing to lift a voice because it mlqht hurt future party prospect, pave the mayor every re.ison to believe he was met tin ? party requirements. Insistence upon ?av enforcement during that period, bringing the moral influence of the community to bear, and backing up legitimate effort to make pood, would have been of wholepome benefit, and would have checked the Carson power and prevented its n tendency. We haven't forgotten how these moralists and reformers who have been hacking Mr. Seebirt. smiled at the exposures of bootlegcing. had great laughs over the turning of whifky into water, thought the Zimmer Dambacher affair was a wonderful Joke, sneered at the efforts of Pros. Schwartz to close the blindtigers by injunction. Dy such attitude they lent every aid and comfort to Mayor Carson and his vice adherents, and they have their reward. Maybe, now. the women taking' hold, aome attention will bo given to pood citizenship first, and partisanship second. That is an attitude that ought always bo taken by pood citizens, when a moral issue arises, and pood government Is at stake, taking no cognizance of rarty politics. "We are for non-partl'onship in city affairs for the very reason that v.e believe Letter government can be gotten cut of it and the reason that we can get better government our of it W that with the partisan labels :e moved, pood citizens, like most of thov who have supported Mr. Seebirt, will rot have to be blinded during administration seasons by the necessity rf parlier.. iU ions-...

LET THE NEWBERRY SORT PROCEED. IVeiion by tha United States supreme court holding tho federal corrupt practices net undtT which S n. Truman II. Neu berry cf Michigan was 4 convicted, to be unconstitutional, is bound to make one ifi',.. what then of IVn Robert. of Terrc Haute, and ethers who have been convicted under the Eamt law, for which they have served terms at I-venworth and Atlanta? Tho distinction made by th- court between primaries and elections in holding the law unconstitutional as to primaries, leaving the inference that it holds pood as to elections, may be satisfactory to the court, but is too nice for the average lav man. So after all it is only theoretically, that this to a government by and for the people. instead of by an 1 for lawjers ar.d jurists. An examination of tho opinion, so far as reported, ghows plainly enough that it is the rtstilt of a splittln;? of hairs; one of those dtrb-ior.- that could as well have run on way a. the other, with the fame degree of logic, ha 1 the court been nuih inclined to consider the public weal a little more teriously. The opinion is. one might ftar, quite the product of that same frame of j resent-day judicial mind as held the Iever at insofar as it affected capitalistic profiteering, to be unconstitutional, but managed not to lot such unconstitutionality Interfere with any prosecutions against workinprmen. and still we worder why there are "reds" in America? Mr. Newberry being several times u millionaire, whether the decision be Justified or not, will, on account cf

this reversal, go a long way toward further inflaming the "red" mind. It cannot be said, however, that it is a partisan opinion. The supreme court I five republicans: to four democratic and two republicans and two democrats seem to have had no compunctions about di3scnting. We presume the others saw the law s they 8iw it, making it one of tho.-e five to four affairs, as in the insular and old Income tax cases. If that sort cf thing can go on, and there 13 no way to check it. where Is it all going to end? Thero isn't much question as to the facts cf the Newberry case. There was high-handed and corrupt political financiering, even to the point of the scandalou. in the primary and electoral promotion of a federal oflirer, against which, at least so far aus the primary goes, the people can have no redress. The court holds, an we understand It, that congress hasn't the rower to place its hand on the primaries held back In the states. State rights, Indeed, are again coming Into their own. Wherefore the bars are down. Go to It, ye aspirants for" federal births, who have th money and can afford to buy! The road is clear. You who believe in clean politics, uncorrupted by excessive use of money, will please step aside and let the bandwagon of the putrid proceed. oAN EVENT IN AMERICANISM. A second Mayflower, bearing a president of tha United States, will enter old Plymouth harbor next August, and on the fhorc where the redskin was nont to lurk the man who was chosen chief magistrate by the greatest plurality ever accorded a candidate for this high ofnee will witness a pageant that will recreate some of those carller scenes when the Pilgrims landed more than 300 years ago. Pres't I Larding has Accepted an invitation to .ake an official visit to Plymouth on Aug. 1, when there will be a great celebration to commemorate the landing of those , hardy men who crossed the ocean in a vessel that would appear like a midget todiy in comparison with Pres't Harding's yacht, the Mayflower. Aug. 1 hait been net as the date for the tercentenary pageant at Plymouth, which la now being prepared by Prof. Georgo Pierce Paker of Harvard university. It Is planned to have Pres't Harding review the fleet in Massachusetts bay during the day rnd the pavjeant will be presented that evening on the shore where the Tllgrlms landed. This will be a timely event in Americanism that will recall to the country the heroic heritage of a past that saw the foundation of individual freedom laid upon Plymouth Rock. Mighty changes have come to this nation since the rilgrlms landed on Dec. .21, 1620, but their dauntlees spirit still survives. They havo seen. "The Canaan of their wilderness A boundles empire of success; And neen the years of future nights Jewelled with myriad household lights; And seen the honey fill the hive; And seen a thousand shlpa arrive."

Germany offers to rebuild what she destroyed in Prance. Such action might set a precedent that would make future invaders think twice before applying the torch. 0 That 70-year-old New York man who confessed to bigamy proves that in the spring an old man's fancy, etc.

A cynic is a man who has neither strength nor courage to buck up and fight the common problems.

FOItWGX KKLATIOXS. (Indianapolis News.) The Harding administration han found it quite impossible to maintain that attitude of detachment from foreign affairs and from other nations which seemed so desirable, and so easily within reach, during the campaign against the league of Nations. It 1$ entitled to credit for recognizing conditions, and dealing with them, aa they actually exis. It is not the first time in history that the necessity of doing things, making decisions and facing responsibilities baa opened the eyea of men and clarified their vision. Just what the administration has In mind is known as yet to few people. But It has intimated, that it 'is seeking a world settlement, and one that shall make war less likely, and pave the way to a reduction of armaments. A good deal of encouragement may be derived from the fact that Sec'y Hughe has been conferring with Elihu Root, a man with a world vision, and a friend to the league covenant with reservations. Mr. Root Is, and for years has been, for tome sort of combined action by the nations In tho Interest of peace. He represented hto country at The Hague conferences, and was one of the creators of the international court that Is now a part of the League of Nations organization. The administration could hardly have a better, abler or more disinterested counsellor. The president has thus fir refused to withdraw the American troops now stationed in Cobb'nz. though during the campaign it was thought that thirt would be done immediately following the inauguration of Mr. Harding. From the military point cf view their presence on the Ithine U of l.'ttle importance. Put the president felt, and rightly, that their withdrawal would be interpreted as proof of our abandonment ot our associate., and our disapproval of their policies. In other words, it is recognized that it is. necessary lor us to maintain our influence in Kurope. and to kfcp it on the right side, at least until the reparation problem is worked out. It wat the I resident, too. who suggested that there should b no hurry about passing the Knox resolution, believing that anything that looked like a separate peace with Germany at the present time would have an exceedingly bad effect. Finally, sec'y Hughes only a short time ago proclaimed to the world that America stood with tho allies in holding that Germany was morally responsible for the war. and bound to make reparation to the utmost of lur ability. And in this matter of reparations this povcrnment has announced that it will submit no German proposition to the allies unless it is agreeable to them to have It submitted. The administration is in truth facing a gr?.ve responsibility, and it ia a world responsibility. Ono hears less of "America first." In the narrow and self..'h and Prussian eense of the words, and moie of America a a member of the family of nations .nd of the 'duty and privilege of service which is hers. Finally, the mild resorvationist are aain beginninp tu assert themselves, as is shown by the submission to the public by Sen. McCumber of his plan for an association of nations, and by Sen. Nelson's opposition to the Knox resolution of which he tvaid yesterday: ry this resolution we insist upon all reparation for ourselves, but are wholly oblivious a.s to whether our allies-, by whose side and aid wc vanquished the common enemy, secure any reparation at all. We are also by this resolution wholly obliviou to the disarmament of Germany a most vital matter to the future of the world. So long as we get reparation for ourselves, as long a.s we pet our pound ot flesh, we have no concern for bleeding France." While it can by no means be said that the skies have cleared, perhaps it may be suld that they are beginning to show signs of clearing. 1

OX LIVING LIFE BACKWARDS. Somebody once said that If he could have sat in at the creation, he would have done three things differently: He would have designed a man's knee joint so that ho could kick as well forward as backward, thereby increasing his powers of attack and resistance; ho would have made health contagious instead of disease: and then ho would have done something else which Vas equally bright, but which I can't remember. I wonder if It is the same thing which I have thought of. namely, that instead of putting old

"There is nothing so important in decoration as color. Color, is everything. Make your scheme grey from top to bottom and it becomes drab and uninteresting. It is lifeless. Put a touch of color in it here and there, and only a very little color is needed, and the scheme takes on a new character and a new dignity. You have something which is something, and all because of the bits of color you added! No, in good decoration, you cannot afford to pass up the subject of proper color lightly. It is worthy of your best attention."

The above is a quotation from the DECORATIVE FURNISHER.

The home decorator always builds his ideas in color schemes from the foundation and his foundation is always the rug. It may be that he has ideas as to what he wishes his walls, draperies, etc., to be, but. he must first establish and choose his floor covering. It is as necessary as providing a building with a foundation that looks solid.

The above is true as to pattern and coloring but there is such a vast difference in ideas of which only the best are desirable. You will find these "best ideas" embodied in our rugs, including all qualities from the inexpensive Axminster to the famous Hartford-Saxony and French Wiltons. The very next idea for the furnisher is to lead his ideas through furniture coverings and draperies to the walla. These must be most carefully selected in order to secure the proper co-ordination. There are so many ways that windows can be treated and yet there is always one way which gives more life and character to this most necessary decoration.

We invite you to see our collection of Orinoka Sun-Fast draperies, our bright Cretonnes, our nets and curtains that can be skillfully designed to fit your windows. A Growing Rug and Drapery Department for a Growing City
