RISK will risk considerable in the primaires, but the man who captures
the democratic nomination for governor will not risk defeat.
MR. SHANK, it appears, is anxious to rid Marion county of the Good
rich- Jewett influences and he doesn’t care who helps do it.
THE FACT that the negroes are gambling quietly on the avenue Is not
being overlooked, even though the “good government” forces appear to be
ignoring it.
CLASSIC IRVINGTON is going to awaken some day to find that it
al6o has fallen into the clutches of the “sinister influences” that shuffle
and cut ’em.
PECULIAR, isn't it, that whenever any one has a suggestion about the
street car system in Indianapolis, the News manages to find some other city
that affords a great “example” for us to follow.
NO CANDIDATE for chairman who numbers Ralph Lemcke among
his counsellors can expect the support of the democrats of Marion county.
The quicker-the Republicans realize this the more trouble they will avoid.
McAdoo’s Friends’ Move
Nothing could be more thoroughly above board than the action of '
the democratic supporters of William G. McAdoo in placing their petitions
to place him on the primary ballot In the hands of Walter Myers. The
McAdoo supporters intend that whatever they do relative to entering
McAdoo’s name in the primaries shall be done through Mr. Myers, and
with due notice by him to the supporters of any other persons whom it may
be desired to present to the voters at the primary.
Whether or not a contest for the purpose of instructing Indiana’s
delegation ensues, it can not be said that the McAdoo followers took an
unfair advantage of the friends of others.
As the time for the filing of declarations for the primaries comes
nearer it becomes more and more evident that there is a Btrong current
of public opinion toward Mr. McAdoo. The “favorite son” plea, which was
put forth by Mr. Marshall's friends, has failed to counteract that sentiment.
The possibility that Mr. Marshall might become president and a candi
date for nomination from the whitehouse has not served to deflect support
from Mr. McAdoo. This is due to the deep-seated conviction that Mr.
McAdoo is the most available democrat for election, and to the fact that
the possibilities of the removal, of President Wilson have been waning
steadily and are not now’ worthy of serious consideration.
Friends of Mr. Marshall are now confronted with a situation In which
the responsibility for a primary fight, if there is one, will rest on their
shoulders. Mr McAdoo has declared that he will not enter any primary.
His friends say that they are willing to abide by his desires relative to
uninstructed delegations. It seems to be certain that they will not insist
on placing his name on the ballot, provided the pledging of Indiana's
delegation to any one else can be prevented. But they are determined
that the great sentiment in favor of McAdoo in Indiana shall not be
ignored by the pledging of Indiana's delegation to any one else.
Mr. Marshall’s friends say that he does not desire to enter the pri
mary ?nd that their only purpose in preparing to place his name on the
ballot is to prevent any one else from capturing the delegation.
The desire of both Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Marshall for uninstructed
delegates at San Francisco seems to depend, in a large measure, on the!
ability of their friends in Indiana to get together. The McAdoo supporters
have made the first move.
Mr, Risk Gets Busy
The entrance of James K. Rjsk into the democratic race' for the
nomination for governor is an indication that things will be "stirring" in
;he democratic party before the primaries in May.
Mr. Risk starts his campaign on the theory that candidates who pre
ceded him have not “put the pubch” into their canvasses that he believes
should be found there. He proposes to talk plainly, vigorously and at
length, to discuss the issues, tell where he stands regarding them and
leave- the question of whether or not he is nominated to the decision of
the democracy as to whether they want a fighter on the ticket.
It would be foolish to contend that Mr. Risk does not have some im
placable foes in the democratic ranks. It would be equally foolish to
assert that he does not have warm friends and admirers. His announce
ment is a call to his friends to support those things for which he stands
and, in a way, a defiance of his enemies.
Mr. Risk is entitled to a fair deal before the democrats of this state.
His campaign manager, John R. Jones of Plymouth, knows when he gets
a fair deal and when he does not. There is no reason why Risk should
not determine now and for all time whether the things he advocates and
the stand he takes are desired by democracy. No one need fear that he
will be deceived as to the position of Mr. Risk on public questions. Knowing
where be stands is one of the best things Risk does, and he has never been
afflicted wvith the stage fright that appears to be keeping some of his oppo
nents from making their views apparent.
The Times hopes and believes that the candidacy of Mr. Risk will
have the effect of arousing the enthusiasm of a part of the democratic
party that has been staying at home too long. Convictions that are worth
having are worth fighting for. The primary is the place to do the fighting,
and it is a poor candidate for any office that deplores opposition.
Goodrich Still Bosses
The position of Gov. James P. Goodrich relative to the republican parly
is now clear. He is just as much the boss of it as when he went into the
campaign for election as governor, as is demonstrated by his letter rela
tive to the special session of the legislature.
In that letter Mr. Goodrich makes it plain that if the republican mem
bers of the legislature will continue to accept orders from him he will call
them in special session to doctor up the laws they passed on his orders
so that they will not be quite so obnoxious as election approaches. If
they are not willing to take his orders he reserves the right to refuse to
call the legislature.
There Is in the sending out of this letter an admission that legislation
is necessary to party success in November. Gov. Goodrich seizes upon the
very evident panic of the republican candidates and leaders and offers
to allay it if they will consent to limiting their efforts before the legisla
ture to those measures which he thinks should be considered.
Indiana had one experience with a gagged legislative session, rgid as
was said by ’Edgar Bush, had that session not been Goodrich gagged there
would be no need of another special session now. The question is, when
will the republican party learn its lesson?
Must the republican party always take its orders from James P.
Goodrich ? -
From the democratic viewpoint it is to be hoped that the Goodrich con
trol will continue. For either the republican party must shake off Good
riebism this campaign or there will be no republican party to carry on
another.
Trade With Germany
The war Isn’t officially over, but trade with Germany is being resumed.
Reports from the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce show how the
volume of trade between Germany and America went ahead during the
last quarter of 1919.
In August, 1919, exports from the United States to Germany were
valued at $1,009,820 and imports at $8,693, but in September exports jumped
to $8,836,693 afid imports to $1,586,963. October doubled the September
trade volume, and November was the high month of the year, exports rui
ning over $23,000,000, and imports totaling over $3,000,000. There was a
slight falling off from this in December. For the yqar Isl 9 exports totaled
$92,761,314 and imports $10,624,229.
Mere the Reader
Says Mis Say
MORE WIDOWS.
Editor The Times ; was reading in n
Sunday morning paper a widow's opin
ion on a railroad man anil the "wage in
crease he receives every nine days.” I
am a yard braKeman aud tiiiuk that 1
have about the most dangerous work
around the railroad and have been rail
roading for the last twenty-five years
and will say that about twenty years ago
railway men were classed as high sal
aried men. And I have put In thirty six
to sixty hours without sleeping. But
today it is different, as I make S5 for
eight hours' dangerous work and if this
widow had to be out In the rain and
scow and wade around like It was Fri
day night she would not think we were
being overpaid. It Is a .wonder there
are no more widows around Peru when
men have to work tn all kind of weather
and have people that depend on labor
for a living come out and try to tell views
that they know’ nothing about.
A YARD BRAKEMAN.
WHERE. INDEED?
Editor The Times—l have read your
"Wolves of Washington" with great sat
isfaction. I am proud that we hnve .me
paper with the courage if Ms convic
tions. Someone that will expose the
hypoerites and imtekraekcrs whose sole
purpose In playing such cheap politics
is an attempt to discredit the adro'nißtra
tlon and gain some small advantage in
power.
I n,m led to believe that the chief
assets and paramount Issue of the re
publican party Is principally noise. As
so far they have failed to show by their
record in congress or the state of In
diana why they should lie retained in
power. I will admit that since their
advent to powtm they have effectually
tied the hands of Mr. Wilson and put
across one of the most unpopular tax
laws ever foisted upon a free people. In
conclusion 1 want to ask if this is the
reconstruction the republican party so
boldly and boastlngly asserted they
do. If elected In the campaign of
1918, to the people?
I want to commend your paper In the
valiant fight for principles.

Compliments Mr. Taggart
In a discussion of the senatorial situa
tion In Indiana. I.obert St. Clair, a
Washington correspondent for a number
of western newspapers, pays a neat com
pliment to Thomas Taggart, when lie
says:
“As for Mr Taggnrf, he already has
served one short term as a senator,
hence the experience of hla being here
and of seeing him on the floor would
not be new. But it would he welcome
to Taggart’s friends here In Washington.
"The truth is that Taggart made a
remarkably good senator and he far out
stripped the expectations of his friends.
Appointed to the senate by Gov. Ralston,
he was looked upon by many ns a man
who probably would serve his short term
quietly, and then go back home md
bask in tbs sunshine of the title ‘ Sena
tor," the rest of his day*. But he did
not do that. He Jumped Into the game
down here with a ventrencc, studied
situations and facts and handled Its
Job In and admirable fashion. It Is
known that some of the leaders of the
party followed his (fftreer here with the
greatest Interest and when he Anally was
ready to make a campaign for rr election
they gladly put their “O. K.” on him.
"Personally, Taggart Is a delightful
man to meet. lie is quiet and dignified
and he certainly belies the picture of
the nldermanlc shaped boss hp I* pic
ttired. He started In business life ss a
pie counter waiter In Indianapolis,
made sale* by being polite and taking
an Interest In affairs of folks where
he found that he could help them and
he has stuck to thoep two things
through thick and thin. Today he
would give you the coat off his back '
If he thought you needed It. And these
facts, coupled with the fact that he made
s real senator make him popular hack
home.'’

A HOME .SERVICE.
While making a thorough study of the
human machine in its industrial sur
r< endings, the “human engineer" will
seek further light regarding tbe worker's
home and community environment.
Here his contract with the welfare de
partment begins, but it should not end
until home conditions have been investi
gated and the fact determined whether
cr not they constitute potentially a
casual factor in Industrial accidents.
A sick member of the family may
cause such uneasiness in the mind of tbi.
worker that bo will be cureless and much
below par in bis work. It may also be
determined If there is unsympathetic uu
pervlsion over this man’s work by the
! forerann,
A domineering and overbearing for#.
-man can do more to reduce output and
breed discontent than almost any other
factor In an organization.
The “human engineer” will not stop at
treating the patient and removing tho
disabling cause, whether It be due to en
vironment within or without the plant.
There exists the opportunity of In
stilling the ideas of preventive medicine
I In -the broad sense into the minds nnd
! hearts of those with whom he comes In
| daily contact. HAre the great field of
• preventive medicine opens before him and
he has unlimited opportunities of sowing
the Mtrds of right living In this fallow
soil.

Q A young lady who has never been

A.—l’erhap* you refer to Ichiatltls,

used In connection with suppression of

By all mcaus be sure that she does not
