—“THIS IS THE YEAR’
“WHERE is the sugar?” asks the News. Perhaps a large part of It
is being used in creating the "sweetened wind” which we have heard so
frequently of late.
IT APPEARS NOW that J. W. Fesler was not only the victim of a
political bunco game but that the "pot" contained about $58,000 —all in
good sound money.
IN THE MEANWHILE, the police have not yet stopped the gamblers,
the bootleggers, the baseball pools nor the petty thieves, even though the
primaries are over. 1 , i.l! JflgbiiU.
CONGRATULATIONS, again, Shiner Middaugh. Pretty soon you will
hold the belt as the best little evader of Jail sentences that ever conducted
a craps game in our midst.
THE THIEVES who stole Goosla Lee’s auto and whisky left the auto
near the police station. There does not appear to have been any whisky
left, either there or elsewhere.
IN OTHER WORDS the public service commission realizes that it is
sufficiently unpopular at present without revising local electric service
rates, previously to the election. 1
THE REPORT3 of expenditures of the candidates for governor recall
that Edgar D. Bush of Salem was forced out of the race by the lack of a
barrel of money. Barrel was not an exaggeration.
WE AGREE with Judge Chamberlin that many people gamble and
few think anything about it, but we also agree with Judge Anderson that
it is the failure of state courts to do their duty that is most necessary of
attention by the citizens of Indiana.
The Propaganda Fails
The carefully nurtured propaganda, built up by the republican party
in an effort to make the nation believe that the democratic party has re
pudiated the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, is beginning to weaken.
Before the campaign is over the states will realize that this so-called
“opposition” to the president is political bunk, spread by hirelings of Will
Hays and repeated by the ignorant on whom it is easy to impose.
Missouri democrats recently declared themselves on the subject of
Wilson and the league of nations. Then they went farther and repudiated
Senator Reed to the extent of keeping him out of their delegation to San
Francisco, simply because he wa3 leading a revolt against Wilson.
Last week Washington, Michigan, Virginia and Indiana refused to heed
the republican-inspired efforts of certain democrats to belittle President
Wilson and not only Indorsed his administration but stood forth squarely
in favor of the league of nations covenant.
In Indiana opposition to the indorsement of the league of nations was
led by no less prominent a democrat than Vice President Marshall himself,
yet the democratic platform says:
We demand the ratification of the treaty of Versailles and American
membership in the league of nations as presented by the president to the
senate of the United States, and deplore the fact that for partisan reasons,
twice the length of time occupied in its negotiation has been wasted by
the republican senate, with the result that it has refused to ratify the treaty
This miserable failure has lost to America its spirit of leadership in the
world, blocked the development of her trade to which she was justly en
titled, and if persisted in will involve the whole world in a welter of bol
shevism.
If there were any’ basi3 for the oft-repeated declaration that the demo
crats of the United States were not favorable to Wilson and the league of
nations, it would have been manifested in Indiana.
Wilson sent no representatives to Indianapolis to fight for treaty in
dorsement.
Marshall came in person and opposed it.
The democrats of Indiana weighed the issue and decided squarely in
favor of Wilson.
They demonstrated that whatever errors of judgment they may feel
President Wilson has committed, they still regard him as not only the leader
but the conscience of the democratic party.
They proved that the preaching of “hate,” by which the republicans seek
to disrupt the democrats in the early days of this campaign has made lit
tie inroad in Indiana.
As it is in Indiana so must it be in the nation.
Democrats may have listened not wisely’ but too well to the scheming
Mr. Will Hays, but they’ have not yet reached the point where they will
abandon their conscience, their principles and their president at the behes"
of the leader of the republican camp.
Even in his own home state Mr. Hays did not succeed in breaking
down the faith of democracy In the man who led the nation to victory ii.
the world’s war.
Whenever the democrats become thoroughly aroused to the vile nature
of the republican campaign of hate, they will rally as one man under the
the banner of the covenant, and the democratic party, aroused to its power
and the vitality of Its principles. Is an organization much feared by re
publicans.
Were it not so, millions of dollars and an army of Hunnish propagand
ists would not now be working In a desperate effort to disrupt the demo
crats before the struggle gets under way.
Dr. Wright’s Recommendations
The recommendations of Dr. H. C. Wright of New York City relative to
the county institutions are so widely at variance with the pet policies cf
the political ring that controls Marion county as to loave no doubt that they
were based on other grounds than political expediency.
Therefore it is safe to say that they represent the unbiased conclusion
of an expert of whom the county sought advice and from whom it has heard
some words of wisdom that it should consider very carefully.
Dr. Wright opposes the use of the workhouse as a jail and recommends
the continuation of the Jail in its present capacity with certain much
needed remodelling and reforms. Therein does he differ with that “na
tionally noted'* criminologist, James A. Collins, whose desperate efforts to
“get there first” with a movement to convert the workhouse into a Jail were
ludicrously transparent.
The recommendations as care of insane are common sense.
Insanity should never be treated as a crime and the unfortufiates who are
suffering from it should not be subjected to the same treatment accorded
criminals.
If Indianapolis were fortunate enough to have a city administration
capable of conducting a city hospital it would be easy enough for the
county to arrange therein proper quarters for its insane pending admission
to the state hospitals where they belong.
But the absence of such a much to be desired condition should not be
tal*en to indicate that Dr. Wright’s recommendation for the abolishment of
Julietta Is not sound.
Julietta is generally conceded to be a failure under the present man
agement. The political gang that runs the county seems powerless to
unhorse the present management. Therefore, it is not illogical to advocate
elimination of the whole institution. No institution at all is as desirable
as an institution in which no one has confidence.
Many of the reforms advocated by Dr. Wright can only be accom
plished by co-operation with state officials.
As the state administration is able to control the political affairs of
the county down to the last delegate’s alternate, there is no reasonable
excuse for failure to obtain co-operation in more important affairs, such as
the performance of duties believed to pertain to the offices held by county
and state officials.
The financial improvements recommended by Dr. Wright are the
obvious ones. None is new and under present spoils system none
is likely to be adopted soon. V

success. The world has been a constant
challenge to him, and With characteristic
pluck, he has tackled and mastered
problems requiring the greatest thought,
patience, skill and perseverance. Some
of these varied achievements have been

for Inspiration. All have had their edu

of that world of endeavor iu which the
ordinary man is completely lost, who
Is also a brilliant legal mind and an
authority and counsellor worthy of a
seat among the distinguished jurists of
the country—who Is as well, a successful
business man of sound ideas and rec
ognition In commercial circles, an author
ity in the world of finance, a born lead
er and organizer, a political genius, a
man of no mean attainment in letters,
and a public speaker of force and elo
quence. All these things Mr. McAdoo
has demonstrated himself to be, during
a l!fe-*time of fearless forging ahead,
combating obstacles, indifferent to
skeptics, pessimists and the "it can’t be
done” element of the world, a man who
has made a specialty of attaining the
unattainable, and achieving the impos
sible. ’
It is such a record as this, coupled with
the significance of Mr. McAdoo’s cosmo
politan citizenship, which has trained
the spotlight on him as his party’s fa
vorite for the next presidential nomina
tion. Col. Roosevelt came to be known
as "the Great American” because of his
thoroughly democratic nature which
made it impossible to think of him as
belonging to any section of the country,
but rather to the country as a whole.
One must think of Mr. McAdoo in the
same way. He is so thoroughly Ameri
can that he could not be sectionalized.
But if he were, he would immediately, be
come the favorite son of the three great
sections of the country—the south, where
he was born —the east, where ,he has
given years of his endeavor, and the
golden west which In recent years has
claimed him by rightful adoption and
actual residence. Tennessee and Georgia
and New York and California would no
doubt glory In a united , east and west
and south In a democratic national con
vention for McAdoo.—Wichita Falls

The Predicament of the
Republicans
Editor The Times—The action taken
by the republican convention in indors
ing the Goodrich administration re
minds me of a story which I heard many
years ago.
When Thomas M. Brown, who repre
sented the Sixth district in congress
about forty years ago, was a boy he
lived with his parents in Winchester,
Goodrich’s home town. On the back end
of the Brown lot was a low shed, the
roof sloping to an alley in the rear.
Just across the alley was the lot owned
and occupied by my uncle. Alfred Ross-
man. One day my cousin, Belle Rose
man, was in the back part of her father s
lot. She saw young Brown on the shed
above mentioned. He was soliloquizing
thus:
“If I go down town I’ll get a lickin’,
and if I stay at home I’ll get a lickin’,
and I’U be damned if I don’t do down
town.”
Whereupon he slid down Into the al
