A SIGNIFICANT ELECTION Tho most significant result In any of the elect5ns held this year wan that of Cleveland, which adopted the city manasrer plan of government and at th ram tirn elected Frd Köhler, the former "po'den rule" police chief as mayor. It 1 !KnifLcant becauaft it Is tho culmination of 20 years of trained citizenship in Independent tnouh and civic fplrit. Th" täte of thought in any community today ran b traced to the crusad of two decades ago, for St t?k'3 nearly thnt time for new Ideas to reach their frul'ion in tho JudKrr.ent of the generation which imbibes them in their youth. It was twenty years apo when Tom Johnson arousM Cleveland from It Rthariry of partisanship by h!r pleas for independent thoutrht and for better protection for public rights. lie drew to him the younp men of hi day and his mantle, falling upon tho shoulders of Newton r. Daker. was followed by the leprlons of youth who believed in his doctrines, long after he had suffered th fate which comes to all crusaders who, when priven power, almost invariably attempt dictatorship in thir impatience. Cleveland learned to think, and has kept on thinking.' It is not afraid of new things dimply heraus they are nvw. It Studien Its own problems and solves them. It was the first to settle the Important question of street car transr ortation on a basis of fairness to both the owners and the pasfencjem. It pays for service at fair rates, not .for watered manipulation of stocks or for political privileges. Now it accepts the city manager plan because it ha learned that there is no inherent virtue in political partisanship and that city government Is a husinctti In which even' rei. ht is a stockholder. It was to be expected that such a city would choose an independent candidate like Köhler for its mayor. Kohler has withstood many attacks and emerged successfully. H disappointed those who believe tlv.i hirshtKKj and punishments can reform when he ar Ud the Colden Rule to police activities, arp'ied it without graft and without discrimination. The police were to wve men as well as property, was the belief of this man who rose from the ranks of patrolman, a college, graduate who had responded to the appeal of the un'form. Itoo.-evelt called him the "beat thief" in his day. when he. had risen to the top by hin fidelity to duty and his keen intelligence. His humanitarian doctrines worked. Drunken men. in the old dajs, were sobered instead of jailed. The qtiarrolsomo were quieted. Crime decreased when the police stopped being mere hunters and looked for chances to hold out a helping hand to those who were faltering on that slender brink that sepr rates respectability from the realm of outcast and outlaw. Cleveland became a clean cuy, not by repressive measures but by the spirit engendered among citizens generally. It is now the largest city to choose the modern j stem which make government a matter of bunir,.?. It has aa its head a man who has won the confidence of the people by humanitarian methods. other cities may well watch the progress of this gi t at city where interest in publ'c affairs, keen insitht into civic questions and unselfish devotion to the common good are probably more general than in any other large metropolis.

HANG OUT THE FLAGS If there ls ever a day when Old Glory ehould be given generously to the breezes and decorate every home, every factory, every place of business, it is this Armistice Day. It should be hung in token of triumph and in token of hope. On this day. three years ago. it was waved in joy over the great victory, when its defenders triumphed over thos on foreign shores who chftl-I-'njd the ideals for which it stands. On the same day this year, thero gathers on these shorts those who are summoned to make those ideals a reality throughout , the world. Men of every land have fought Its protection in pawl and l its folds a sanctuary from the oppressions it ha? defied. This year, of all years, that flag takes on new meaning. The veterans organization of this city which have charge of the celebration have helped protect that flag from all assault. As a tribute of gratitude to their members and to their comrades who rave- their lives In the bitter struggles to keep its faith, it should greet tho eye on every hand and its message borne anew to the hearts of those who believe that the law of life is liberty and equality of right.

HE PAID A DEBT "Ingratitude Is the highest crime," wrote Victor Hugo and had he written the corollary to his theorem that gratitude is the highest of virtues, he would have immortalized Harry Haley, a veteran tf the great war. Haley has Jus: been released from the military prison at Leavenworth, where he went voluntarily, under an assumed nam?, to give up his liberty and freedom in order that he might pay a debt of grattltude. Over across, his buddy during the war was a man name.! Jone.. They lived and pt together, and when the call came, went out Into Xo Man's Iir.d and fought together. Haley was left In th it small stretch of the death znt one morning, while the fighting was still on. He had b-en wounded. To rescue him meant danger, but that meant nothing to Jones, and while the German star bomb wero lighting up the field he rushed out and carried Haley back to safety and to life. Jone tired cf army life after the war ended. He wanted to get married and did so. forgetting to get a discharge when he left the army barracks on his matrimonial entire. The army called him a dertt-r and advertised for him. Haley read the notices and went at once to tho authorities and gave h'msflf up under tho

n.irr." of Jon s. in order that his old comrade might s.if ly make his escape to Canada. It w:is a ear before the army officers found out th d'ep;ion and thnt Haley, a Jones, was serving without complaint a 20 years t-entence. All of tlo- original copy-bock mottoes fall when It cr.ms ') acts like th' jo. The evil of deception, th' di.ihi.n-ty practiced upon a government seeking to puni.h for a crim, tho inherent wickedness of the imposition and of sailing under false colors, fade b fore the picture of this grr.teful buddy who a everted prison strip to save the man who had Etved him in a critical hour. Thre may be crimes ho glorious as to become acts of heroism. Gratitude is one of the emotions to be encouraged gratitude for opportunity, trratitude for words of cheer, gratitude for any act of kindliness. It keepii the milk, of human kindnestj from curdling in most souls. Among those who write their names large in the list of real men, add that of llaley, the man who did not forget his friend. Likewise it would seem a shame to lock up any man who could inspire a friendship deep and broad enough to invite such a sacrifice, ho let us hope they do not find Jones and his brido in their Canadian refuge and cast our votes with Haley for his freedom.

GOING TO WASTE If you want something to take the joy out of life, start a coal lire in your furnace, then climb up on the roof and sit on the chimney. You'll observe the heat going to waste. Whenever you burn coal, you loo more than four-fifths of the heit stored in it by nature. And that is only part of the waste. Take L',0)0 pounds of coal, lying in tho mines. Some it lo.-t in mining. Kighty-two pound are burned up by the railroad locomotive that hauls the co:l to market. Ashes, escaping gases and smoke increase the loss. The result, says the Geological Survey, is that on'y 76 of tho original 2,000 pounds are actually converted into mechanical energy in the boiler room. Out of 2,000 pounds of coal. 1,924 pounds wasted! A chemist can take coal and break it up into coke, artificial gas, ammonia, tar, carbolic acid, benzoline, synthetic supar, high explosive, dyes and a long list of other by-products. All those are wasted when coal is shoveled in a f urn if e. Waste like that i one of the chief causes of high cost of living. Recognizing this, a British scientist predicts that in another century or two it will be a penal offense to burn coal in tho pure state for heating" purposes. If you could live 100 years from now, you would find the most humble home heated by electricity. Coal in that day will be burned at the mines scientifically, producing electricity that will be sent forth over high-tension wires. No freight hauls! No smoke! No bother! No waste. Coal is only one of many instances of gigantic waste that will be eliminated by our descendants. Future man will dam every stream and turn it into water power. He will harness the ocean tides. He will capture and use the enormous enormous energy of the sun's heat, most of which is now wasted. 1'rom the air and ground he will take perpetual electric current of stupendous power. In future cities, there will be no waste. Even the garbage, instead of being destroyed, will be reduced in ohem.cals. Engineers will accomplish all this experts in chemistry, physics, electricity and mechanics. Thtsse are tho coming fields. Young men, wondering what to take up for their life's work, should investigate the possibilities and profits 0f the engineering professions. o Sometimes when a man takes out insurance his wife thinks he ought to be shot. o A Princeton profissor says he can't live on $10,000 a year. Most professors would like to try it.

They row have a trackless trolley car; but what worries un is the trolley-earless track. o You must fin a song of more than six-pence if you want a pocket full .of rye.

OthgrEdifrorsThanOurs MONOTONY. (Dallas Dispatch.) Men havo interesting work meeting friends and strange new personalities daily. They rarely stop to realize the deaily monotony of housework. There are Just four pereons with whom a housewife may expect to deal In the course of her day's work the ice man, the milk man, the grocer's boy boy and the mail man. In winter, she doesn't even have the ice man. Tho milk man i? trained to look for the ticket in the bottle. And the mall man rings the bell and is out of sight before Friend Wife g-ets to the door. The grocer boy Is chiefly interesting because of mud he tracks in. If you had that sort of life, living with you would be as pleasant as occupying the same cage with a wildcat. o POWEK, (Oklahoma News.) A Canadian Pacific train with one engine hauls ICS. 000 bushel-of wheat, said to break the world's record. The train was nearly a mile long with 110 fully loaded cars. Modern man certainly is chaining power. Alexander the Great mourned because there were no more conquests for him to make. He thought he had conquered everything, yet it never occurred to him to invade the simple battlefield cf transportation. In Alexanders day. to move 163,000 bushels of wluat required at least 25,000 camels. o rxvsiwu i IjOs Angeles Record.) At Mlddleton. Conn., a storekeeper wa convicted of murder. "While the court was sentencing him to be hang-?d, his son Rudolph was being married within a mile of the scene of the murder. The telegraph clicks this: "Rudolph knew his father was to be sentenced. But he chose that particular day for his wedding." An InUr toting piece of psychology. Can the movies beat it? Rarely. "What was Rudolph's f.urpose? How do you explain it? o SAFITTY. (Seattle Star.) Nine years ago. 4 5 out of even 100 men who worked in steel mills were injured or maimed for life. The 4 " his been cut down to five, says J. B. Ayres, safety engineer of th. National Tube Co. That i the result of Safety First campaigns. Automobile accidents could be reduced correspondingly by the exercise of personal caution and the first rudiments of common sense. O WRONG. (Des Moines New.) An Iowa farmer sdd -six roosters for ST. Before leaving town, he learned that t)r keepers were asking as mi.ch for a dozen eggs as he could get for two bus-he'.. of corn. Farming v.-.hu.s ire out of line. A crafty trader could start with a dozen eggs and wind up with a mortgage-free farm, provided he did enough bartering and played in and out of the city markets.

WlSt: REMARKS FROM A DAFFY UIIÄJ. It was midnight on the ocean. Not a street car was In Bight; The sun was shining brightly. And it rained all day that night. It was a summed day in winter. The rain waa snowing fast; A barefoot girl with shoes on Stood sitting on the grass. It was evening and the rising sun "Was sitting in the west. The little fishes in tneir trees Were cuddled In their nests. The rain was pouring down. And everything that you could see Was hidden out of sight. "While the organ reeled potatoes Lard was rendered by the choir; While the sexton rang the dish rag Some one set tho churca on fire. Holy smcke! the Preacher shouted, In the rain he lost his hair: Now his head resembles heaven, For there is r.z parting there. Friends of his in Mlshawa ka remarked Wednesday on the remarkable resemblance of Charles Bingham to the late Bill McC'oombs. We don't know whether you all heard about it or not, so wo are telling you. "W. W. Wallach. Mishawaka manager of the esteemed News-Times, when asked to make a speech at tho democratic Jubilation meeting over the successful election of Mayor "Billy" Dodge, 'ald: "Ladles and gentlemen, this is the happiest moment of my life, since I've been married." WW "What were you before you joined the army?" "Happy." Sixty-two thousand wells were destroyed in France during the war. We are at loss to know what a man would want with a well In France.

Tower of Babel, South Rend, Ind.: Dear Kditor. I have been greatly puzzled over something for several days and wonder if yoa cannot unravel this mystery ior me and relieve my anxiety. One Sunelay morning a short time ago while driving about in the E-rskine addition, I was amazed to And Charlie T. Arment, of the National Ca.h Register Company, climb on top of the roof of one of the most attractive homes there and go up to the. chimney. At tust 1 thought '.io was practicing the old Santa Claus stunt so as to have it down pat by Christmas, but on taking a second look found that he wan up there putting salt down the chimney (he recently having purchased same). Why did he do this? Was it to keep the chim ley from getting too fresh, doesn't he extend an invitation to Santa Claus, or has he a still planted there? Very' anxiouslv yours. I-WANT-TO-KXOW. Little Weatherstrip, the young son of Frank Thorpe, the Goodrich dealer, was absorbed in a picture of Elijah going to heaven in a chariot of fire. Reinting to the halo about the phophet's head, Weatherstrip finally exclaimed: "See, Papa, he's carrying an extra tire."

MISSING. The house was fine to look upon And all the grounds were neat and trim, But of his neighbors I was one Who really didn't envy him Hio walls with tapestries were hun? And costly pictures, old and rare. But there was not a sign that young And healthy children sheltered there. Ills books would thrill the bibliophile And I was glad to look them o'er, But happier with them I would feel If there were toys upon the floor; Each kept with dignity Its place, By servants paid for that, no doubt But on them I could find no trace That children ever pulled them

out.

In all his mansion fine I found No building blocks or rubber ball. No train of cars was left around To clutte up his marble hall; I looked in vain on every chair For scratches left by little feet. But there was no disorder there And home should never be so neai For all his wealth and mansion fine For all the treasures he ha.bought, I would not trade the house of mine Where pillow fights are nightly fought. To finger marks I point with pride. To scattered toys much care I give, A house too neat I can't abide, I want a home where children live. (Copyright. 1021.)
