THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD FIGHT, AND SURRENDER LAFOLLETTE VS. WILLIS

(We Predict LaFollette Has Not Quit) Republican papers reporting the sad "Palace Guard"ridden state convention, didn't-see fit to publish Charles M. LaFollette's brief but pointed remarks in withdrawing his

name, though they gave space to Willis's tearful words, . which ended, "We must put aside all bitterness and give every energy to the election of Republicans in November. To that I subscribe." . ' The Indianapolis Star kindly said that "Willis, went down fighting." But he didn't." He surrendered abjectly. And having been clubbed by the convention "beer-and-patron-age' bosses, who ran things" (again, quoted from the Republican press), he pledges himself to eat his, own words.kiss the hands which have beaten him, and play along with those whom he himself only two days before described as "a small . group which operates like, the Gestapo in Germany, directed as by a potentate .of an invisible empire." ' ' . Not so LaFollette. LaFollette, knowing he had a mere

handful of stalwarts whose support he could depend on, money

The Ninety-Five Cent Sinking Fund Levy Proposed By The . Sullivaii City School Board. I I am just a little taxpayer and possibly shouldn't say much in regards to this sinking fund proposed by the Sullivan City School Board, It won't hurt me much either way but there are a lot of taxpayers in Sullivan City who

should think seriously about this and what it is going to mean to them, and to the city as a whole. Personally, I have been in favor of a sinking fund for township, city, schools, county. In fact every governmental unit, I believe, should have a sinking fund, but not one that is going to try to raise enough money in five years to .build three hundred fifty thousand dollars worth of new buildings. We should have a small levy each year to take care of these things and should look far enough ahead to have thif

available when needed.;

Staped in here, chin up and with a "fighting smile," to the I The Scho1 Board pp& f

end. And when all was nearly over, he addressed .. th$ Convention. This is what he said: "' "Since last January I have campaigned on issues that I believe are fundamental. Many' of the things that I said were labeled controversial. 'But ;I am sure that there will be . agreement 6n what 1 say now, and that is that your decision has been overwhelmingly clear-cut. Therefore I move that the nomination of Jenner be made unanimous." There was no hand-licking, no surrender, there. - What in this "move" he actually did, was to put the entire convention on record as opposing those "fundamental things" for which he himself had campaigned: for in reject- , ing him, they rejected the principles for which he had fought, and with which; he-has identified himself nationally in the past few years, jn Congress. (Taking a stand, incidentally, with the Democrats, who back " those principles, though the Republicans reject them.) In the Chicago Sun of "the day after," Kenesaw M. Landis II, addresses his column to "Charley LaFollette, first,

m tribute to the courage of the man who gave up his safe seat in the House to fight for the Senatorial nomination in yesterday's Indiana Republican state convention ... "Second, to recall the memory of another LaFollette, a distant relative of Charley's, a man whose fight seemed even more hopeless." Then Landis goes on to recite how the older Bob LaFollette had built up a progressive record in Congress but was knifed in 1890 by a "Republican machine that . was owned body and soul by the railroads," and how Bob fought the railroads and the Republican machine for fifteen valiant years. The machine had "the newspapers, the 'organization, the railroads, the free passes, and all the money," - said the then U. S. Senator Stephenson, machine man. "If he had money to buy a few more postage stamp's, he'd beat us sure." In the end, LaFollette's speeches and his letters to farmers turned the trick. LaFollette (Charley, that is) has said , that the elder Bch is his ideal. Our prediction therefore is that Charley will not go supinely back to the machine, but that he will buy postage stamps. Pretty, hopeless, though, Charley. Look over the fence the grass is greener in Democratic pastures.-

cost of just a little f i,Yeropjrr house today, which will run -si: thousand to seven thousand five hundred dollars, I don't believe they are going to build such e building for two hundred thousand dollars. There is every possibility tha, there will be a general reassessment of all real estate next year, which I am very much Opposed to with valuations inflated as. they are today, but nevertheless it looks like it is going to happen and we know that if the state.

orders this reassessment they expect this real estate assessed something near today's values. They are not going to order it and let it be reassessed on the same values as it is today, which in fact,, would be a' waste of time and money to do the job that way. If this reassessment is ordered, values will increase fifty to one hundred per cent. If this ninety-five cent levy is put on. and as I understand, it will run for five years after it is once set up, and we have a reassessment and real estate is increased fifty per cent or more, then this levy is going to raise from two hundred fifty thousand to three hundred fifty thousand instead of the proposed one hundred seventyfive thousand.

They recently refinanced our Community Gym, on which they were paying four per cent, for one and one-half, I believe the rate was.

They can only raise the tax rate so high until the taxpayers will begin to holler, but by getting an increase in valuation, which seems sure to happen next year, they can cut this rate down to where the taxpayers won't say so much, but still be getting a much larger sum ' of money

"Here I languish," Daisy said. "A spinster at 32'.". .' PETER had failed to call on Sunday. On Wednesday evening, Daisy made dinner for Mary Angelus. . "I'll cajl and see when the movie goes on," Daisy said. . . Mary said, "I've eaten too much. You're a marvelous cook." . . v : "I can sew a fine seam, too," Daisy , called back as she went to the phone. "But here I languish, a spinster at thirty-two." As she reached for the phone.'.it rang.' She jumped a little and picked it up. "Hello." i ' '. "Miss Kenyon? How are you? This is Pete Lapham." . There was a pause during which Daisy literally could say nothing. "Hello?" he repeated. '? "I'm well, thank you." Her voice sounded queer. -; .'. ' "That's good. I'd. like, to 'see you.I don't, suppose you're, ' free now? It's a silly.time to call.".: , . ; .

Pete watched the windows.

To his horror, Daisy said, "I need some cigarettes."

Does he always.start that way? thought Daisy distractedly. Of course he's not drunk now. "I'm sorry," she sa. "I'm busy right now."' , , : "Well tomorrow, maybe? Or any day after?" ' I wish he didn't have such , a nice voice, she thought. . I'm a fool either. way . .. And she said wearily and more abruptly than she had at all intended, "I'm very sorry. I'm afraid I can't." 1 In the silence she remembered all the conversations she had planned to have with him. They hadn't gone like this. 'But in all of them he bad been repentant, he had started with apologies and explanations about Sunday .... "Not any day?" said Pete Lapham. She answered, "Not any day," and waited illogically for apologies, to begin . now. He hung up . . . . . ..

' ... If he walked very fast, Petet Lapham thought, he might keep ahead of his thoughts. He wondered if he should get drunk right away. He kept walking and then was across from Daisy's apartment. He leaned against a lamppost and watched and waited... Daisy never bothered to turn all the lights but, so she and Mary took Pete by surprise when they came out. He pulled his hat down and tried to lean back into the shadows but they didn't see him at all. . " - - ' He followed and once when they stopped, laughing, he had to put his head down and go on. He reached the corner . and slid into the entrance to the drugstore to see which way they turned. They came up, and to his horror, Daisy said, "I need some cigarettes. Will you wait a minute .'. . ?, (Continued Monday)
