CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION. Through the Indifference, lethargy and neglect cf a majority cf the Citizen, the alert, voting minority his kept the 70 year old chains upon the constKutlr.n cf the state. Only one of h'i proposed amendment. unl '.atr report change the result, has been adopted. Th othr twelve wert rejected. The- total vote cw. at the apcclal election was but a Rmall prcentar. of the total citizenship, prob ably les than ono-fifth of all entitled to vote. That means that one-tenth of the voters were able, by their negative votes to block the prcgresfdva measures. Changing: the or,fltituüon In Indiana Is no easy matter. The amendment mu?t be passed by two fwiiona of the legislature, insuring the people asriint any proposals belni" ubm'ttd without proper time for debate and confederation. "With the pcaslbla exception of the two taxation amendments, there waj? not a proposal submitted which did not merit irlous consideration and for which valid arguments could not b urged In their behalf. Even tho tax amendments had Buppcrteia who believed that tho taxing rower should be at all times under the control of the lelfllature In order to meet changing1 condition. The one amendment adopted, the o-oalled citizenship amendment, definitely fixing thft status of women voters In this state and eliminating first paper foreigners, escaped the general fllaurhtor only through the extraordinary efforts put forward by the women of the state. Their campaign in its behalf in itself was striking proof of the wisdom of equal suffrage for it ßhowel that women can be relied upon to chow at least an intelligent elf interest In public affair. The spell-binding profession must blame itself for the failure of the amendment to require educational qualifications for fdmlfion to the practice of law. Th campaign In behalf of that change lacked both the punch and persistency of the woman's effort for their orvn project. The erious aspect does r.pt He In the defeat or t.:e carrying of any proposal. The election does affer a serious Indictment asralnflt our methods of government. The right to vot? should carry with it the duty to vfte. The obligation should bo k personal as to cau.e its forfeiture if not exercised. As long as the good intentloned but indifferent l.fopl refrain fron voting on Important questions. th- nlert, profe.--ijnal voter, forming but the small- ?: f minorities can be expected to use the machinery of government for his own selfish ends and purpos. The c-Jection Is more than disappointing not in its result but in the fact that it indicate? a wlde-.-prad indifference to public questions. Democracy depends uf.on a correct interpretation of the will of the majority. When minorities are permitted to reign, abuses of any sort may be expected.

OFF THE BENCHES BY CHRISTMAS. A certain rich auto maker drew upon hlmse'f the ridicule and laughter of the nation when he cent much money and a group of enthusiasts on the tnl?ion of taking the soldiers of the world "out of lüe trenches by Christmas." - Behind the lau.sh was the very ober fact that the world would have welcomed auceess to h's Quixotic etur.t. The HOldiers came out of the trenches onlv afrer this country had sent two million men to those battle lines and turned the tide of war to victory. "When the men were called upon to rerder this service, they took with them the memory of cheering crowds, cf fervent hnndclaps, of pledges of eternal gratitude an I of warm welcome on their return. It a matter cf common knowledge that thos who made the prompt when fear of defeat clutched their hearts, forgot them when security ard safety wre attained. The benus Is postponed. Indefinitely, despite the statements cf C"n7res5men looking for re-election tivt something will be done soon. The big fact remains that many cf the men who vTit into service .ire now listed in the army of the :ive million unemployed. The time hin come for a real crusucle to remedy the present situation. Thin- is need of the product of the labor of this nw army. Th? creation of their hands and minds would contribute to the total f human comfort. 1-7 . i ci.illy is thi true cf the men who served in war and who ate now joMe.. The n ition finds :r.n y for many useless project. 1;. or dlt Might ! d for projects whicii would in er as the nat; n.V, rts.iurccs. Vast area?

HEAD OF THE PARTY SPEAKS. i It wa the eh't cf the republican party, not the president, who ?r.i out his letter yesterday urging the country to stand back of the pre-ent admlnli traticn because of its mr.mlcs and b'.ammg tn , profligate want e ,,f tlie last .n'.ministration for all j trouble. j The pecp'e will r-"rve their judgment until the' discover, in tax bills, just what these economies I really are. f Crtinly it wa unfortunate for Mr. Harding that

on the day he way flaying demoratii extravagance, hia secretary of the navy aent a letter to Watchdog Iawe demmdlnr $410,000,000 to run th navy In the year beginning July 1, 1922. Certainiy there w.n no economy there. It was also unfortunate for any expected hurrah In answer to the appeal tht Sen. Smoot, mot regular of regulars, remain In Washington c.orng the brief congressional recess and declares that the people must pay a billion more dollars th! year thai: the house members had provided for. Folitics Is politics. There 1 a senatorial election on In New Mexico. The letter of the president was for campaign purposes and It Is to be feared that his political propaganda wdil net correspond to later presidential pas for more cash Iemocrai;c .roflisracy and waste, charged by Mr. Harding, hould be easily corrected by the beginning of next July if the present administration really believes that It existed. The people will watch for evidence of truth ef the charges Jn deep slashes in the appropriation bills. Knowing where the waste and profligacy occurred, the remedy Is easy. If It went to profiteers, Mr. Daugherty should put them in Jail as traitors. If the. waste occurred In useless employes, th ; lists should be cut Instead of supplanting democrats with republicans In needle.w Job. "Faith without works is dead" was written centuries ago. Charge, without remedies are vain and the people will not be fooled.

MEASURING BLESSINGS OF LIFE. If any one is entitled to speak with authority on the real blessings of life, It Is Helen Keller. Borr deaf and blind, she has accomplished the miraculous in elf development. 6he has graduated from two College. She a writer of note. She haa learned to speak hr proudest accomplishment since she has never heard the twund of her own voice. Equal to any other woman In Intellectual utta'n ment, superior to many In her versatility, compelled to achieve participation in dancing and other amusements over greatest of handicaps, she is known as the marvel of the age. She, confided, recently, her secret wish. She might have been expected to long to b first In painting, since she is denied tho senfe of color. She might have announced, without causing surprise, that she would rather write ballads or onatns that would charm the ear. None of these things are in her soul. "If I could see and hear I would marry for in that alone is woman's happiness," ghe says. A sense of Justice to the man who might love her for her greatness of mind and heart, a knowledge of her physical handicap, unsurmountabie, walls her In from matrimony. It i something for those who think and see ar.d hear to ponder over. o The ;'Order of the Bath" started in a hous? with only one tub. 0 Collector) must feel popular; everyone asks them to come back.

Other EdttorsThanOurs "LOCIIIXVAR IIKRUICK." (Philadelphia IuIllo Ix-lgt'r.) The folks of the Eighth Oklahoma Congressional district should arrange to come up to Washington and take Congressman Manuel Herrick away. He ought to be back on his farm near Perry with his Herrick'fl Giant Yellow Corn and his Herriek's Copper-Faced Hereford Steers. Manuel is about to get into trouble; in fact, he is neck-deep in trouble right now. His colleagues of the, special session of congress are seriously worried about where and how Manuel may break out next. At present he is being chased In and out of offices of fellow members and generally hustled and chivied around town by irate husbands and fathers. In brief, Manuel is getting a lot of fat. black headlines. It seems that he is the Iove-Letter Liochlnvar of the Great Southwest and hag been making himself highly obnoxious to several of the good-looking young women of Washington. Summed up, Manuel of the Copper-Paced Herefords has been making an empurpled a of himself. He Is not doing the people of the Eighth district of the state of Oklahoma or the congret-s of the United States any good. PosnofTlee inspectors and policemen are being worried by him and about him. He la likely to be beaten out flatter than a thin dime most any hour of most any day. That Is how jwpular Manuel has become in "Washington. The serious side of the affair is that thi? person from Oklahoma's Eight district can and does cast Just as weighty a vote a Mondell, Madden, Longworth. Kahn or any other congressman. His vote, will and does affect erious matters that are of vital interest to every man. woman and child in tho United States. His mental capacity may be guessed from the sort of silliness that he has been carrying on. Manuel ought to be back between the serried rows and the waving tassJs of his Gdant Yellow Corn. He should be keeping the company of his contemplative Copper-Kaced Hereford in the back pasture. Doubtless the Copper-Faced Herefords are more or less accustomed to him and won't mind. Manuel should never have left the "Cherokee Strip." Will the folks in the Oklahoma Kicrhth district plea come up nd take Manuel back to the Yellow Corn and the Herefords? Or will they put some sort of a restraint upon him? He Is too much for Washington and the Atlantic seaboard. o no Mom: crsTAUD imi:. (Philadelplüa IMiblio Ixljrvr.) Charles Chaplin on the eve of hj. return to England delivers a vaVdlctory. He came to thee chores nine years ago, unknown to fame. He has made a fortune out of throwing custard pies and waddling about In shoes several sizes too large for him. Iut a host of Imitators lacked his personality and were stupid where he wa funny. They copied his gestures and postures, but the wistful whimsies of his countenance as he went through his foolish antics wer too subtle for successful imitation. He had upon the Fcreen the salient personality that gives such an original as Harry Lauder a place apart with millions moved to the mirth that is sometimes close to tears. When Charlie comes back he wants it to be with a difference. He says he is tired of playing the buffoon. He wants to get away from s!aptick and horseplay. He promises to adhere to comedy ani to abstain frern. Hamlet and that Is a welcome reassurance. Whether the public will lik him as well In less obvious aspects than those of his career hitherto remains to be seen. But he häs this advantage: that in hi art (for he is entitled to be called an artist) the psychic element always has been more than the physical, even when the latter became boisterous. Th man who can tin what Charlie Chaplin has done alrealy is undeniably qualified' for the roles he wishes to essny. H names" Heau Krumme! as a "fat" part for him. Probably the comedies of Sheridan would give scope to his peculiar methods and mannerisms. Invany event, we cannot afford to let him cease being funny. The -world is too serious a place to be able to spare those who among Its solemn visage bestow the- precious boon of mirth,

TABLE ETIQUITTTE. Lei-son No. 1. Never use a napkin. Wipe your fingers on the tablecloth or clean them in your mouth. Never allow butter, soup or other food to remain on your whiskers. Use end of tablecloth. Never wear gloves at the table, unless your hands are unfit to be seen. Introduce morbid tonics of convert sation; it will keep your guests from eating too much. Do not pick your teeth with your finger-rails. Use the fork. Never cut bread, always break It and then squeeze the dough out. Always have a cat or a dog at the table with you so you can pet them while you are eating. Never allow your greasy hands to come in contact with the tableeloTh. Rest them on a piece of bread. Never make a display when removing hair or insects from your food. Jxiii place them quietly in your vest pocket. Always leave a lump of meat on the plate, aa it looks as if you were hungry If you eat it all. When through eating, tip back in your chair, put your feet on the edge of the table and act as though you were comfy. ' If it's more comfortable for you, drink from your ynucer. Never scratch your head at the table. Never come to the table in your undershirt, dirty hands or disheveled hair. (Except at Bill Reid's.) Never express a choice for the wings, as each turkey h3s only two.

ADJOURN SESSION TO AVERT CRISIS GENEVA. Sept. 7. The assembly of the League of Nations adjourned today, during discussion of the dispute between Bolivia and Chil. to avert a crisis. Augustin Edwards, head of the Chilean delegation, in a vigorous speech at the opening of the session, denied the league'.s competency to

i revise the Chilean-Bolivian treaty,

which had been brought before the assembly by the Bolivian representatives. "Such action would establish precedent enabling the League of Nations to revise every treaty from that of Versailles down to the very smallest," he said. Edwards refused even to permit the referring of the treaty to a commission and propose! t:e withdrawal of his delegation from the asembly. Pres't Karnbcek averted an immediate rupture by proposing that the discussion be adjourned until

What Does The Future Hold?

Will you retain your youthful lines or as the years roll by, will you gradually lose them? The difference between a youthful and prematurely mature figure, is. after all, a matter of outline. Why have hips that are inches too large in proportion to the waist? Why have large hips at all? It is all overdevelopment that gives the impression of age. Youthful figure lines can be obtained, but only through scientific corseting. Look to your corset. Make sure it is designed by one having the true artistic sense of proportion. If not so designed, your figure will eventually acquire all of the corset's bad lines just as readily as it will take on ihe shapely youthful line of a scientifically designed corset. The Modart is a properly designed corset. We carry a wide range of Modart models to fit all figures. They are made of plain reasonably priced coutils as well as the finest of brocade silks so the price of Modart corsets suits occasion and purse. Sizes 22 to 4052.50 to 512.50. (All corsets over $3.00 fitted free of charge, by an expert corsctirrrc.)
