—"THIS IS THE YEAR”—
FOXY JIM GOODRICH worked hard to defeat Watson for chairman
of the resolutions committee and may thereby have earned some support
from the Star league this campaign.
\
NOR WAS THE VICTORY of Senator Watson particularly displeas
ing to the members of the National Manufacturers' Association,
#
AGAIN has it been demonstrated that the only thing the republican
delegates have been trained to receive with applause is denunciation of
President Wilson.
PAYING INTEREST on bonded indebtedness by borrowing money of
local banks does not indicate that the street car merger has helped much
financially and there are few who will argue that service has been mate
rially bettered. •
IF PRIMARIES impose a minority rule on a party as Nicholas Murray
Butler says, how can a primary in Indiana be an expression of 'true senti
ment” for Wood?
ANYHOW, Prosecutor Adams succeeded in admitting that there had
been gambling in the county jail.
The Warning to Republicans
The inability of the republican party to proceed with its convention
in the absence of some kind of an agreement as to the league of nations
is not without its reassurances to those persons who had about concluded
that the G. O. P. cared more for & money barrel than a national issue.
The halting of the convention program, on what is believed to have
been the direct orders of Boss Penrose, until this muddle over the league
is settled was a disclosure of some significance.
Three months ago the republicans in Indiana were running about
telling each other that it made no difference who was nominated at the
national convention, nor what went into the platform. They chuckled with
glee over the prospects of “utterly destroying” the democratic party and
dividing the spoils of victory among themselves.
They had no doubt in their egotistical minds that they would carry
the election, no matter how they behaved.
Yesterday, at Chicago, the biggest leader of the party bid the others
stop and consider the necessity of framing a platform on which all repub
licans could unite and the necessity of chosing from the candidates a
man with a chance of winning the election. %
Perhaps, from now on. some of the gentlemen who have been declar
ing that the “democrats have no chance” will be less proud of their
optimism. Certainly they will not pretend to put their political acumen
against that of Senator Penrose, whose present position in the party is
largely due to his ability to guess right.
Whatever chances the republican party had of winning the next elec
tion without a carefully planned campaign have faded since the pre
convention contests degenerated into a scramble to spend the most money.
No one can now make voters believe that Gen. Wood is without
opposition —opposition that is most powerful because it comes from repub
licans who do not believe in $500,000 checks from manufacturers and $2.50
checks for testimonials. k
Even Mr. Lowden’s most particular friends will have to admit that
the unwise use of his own mcney in Missouri aroused some antagonism
to his candidacy from those who do not believe that delegates should be
paid $2,500 apiece, 1 either before or after the convention.
There is no denying that Hiram Johnson has his opponents and that
they are of a type that are not easy to reconcile.
So it is with the candidates and so it will be with the platform.
The “devil-may-care” attitude with which the delegates expected to
visit Chicago and nominate any old republican on any kind of a platform
has given away to considerable anxiety.
The question is now whether a platform can be built and a candidate
selected, the combination of which will hold the republican party to
gether.
The answer may not be forthcoming before fall, but the existence
of the doubt has at last been made plain.
An * Openly Stated 9 Lie
"It has been openly said,that the United States lent to England the
money with which to buy the Cuban sugar crop that President Wilson
should have bought," says the Muncie Press.
And it might also add that at one time in our more remote past it
%as ‘openly stated” that the world was flat.
Also it might be recalled that not so many weeks ago it was "openly
stated" that Muncie had purged itself of the gang of gamblers for which
it Is principally noted.
We mention all three of these incidents merely for the purpose of
comparison, for there is nothing that shows the baldness of a lie better
than the company it keeps.
This lie about the sugar crop is more notable for the frequency with
which it is told than for its cleverness.
As long ago as July 23, 1919, Herbert Hoover, in a cable to Julius H.
Barnes, which was made public then, stated that sugar control depended
upon an extension of the powers -of the sugar equalization board by the
republican congress.
In the following August President Wilson asked congress for this
necessary extension of power and specifically asked authority to acquire
and distribute the Cuban sugar crop, as had been done in 1918.
Congress prated much of the evils of “price regulation” and failed
to give the matter attention until last December.
By that time it was too late to acquire the Cuban crop.
None knows these facts the republican editors who are
now trying to lay responsibility for failure to control sugar prices on the
democratic administration, through the publication of plain lies as things
that are “openly stated.”
Indianapolis Makes Good
Indianapolis has been the host this week to some of the world's most
brilliant men.
And Indianapolis has risen to her opportunity.
The advertising men of the world wanted a “brass tacks” convention.
They did not come here to indulge in frivolity or to merely take a vaca
tion They came on business.
Indianapolis long ago recognized this fact.
And Indianapolis,, through the convention board of the Advertising
Club of Indianapolis, set about the task o? making good on this great con
vention, probably the biggest business convention held in the United
State§Ahis year.
The convention, without question, was the greatest in the history of
the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. Not only in point of num
bers, but in quality. The biggest men in the advertising business in the
country came to Indianapolis.
Every arrangement has been carried cut perfectly.
The visitors have been treated courteously.
They have not been “gouged” by any one.
Their hotel arrangements have been ideal. Those unable to obtain
hotel accomodations have been taken into private homes.
Every individual in Indianapolis, it seems, has taken upon himself to
act as a committee of one to see that nothing be left undone for the com
fort of the visitors.
The results are such that Indianapolis can we'll afford to indulge in a
well-earned feeling of pride. Indianapolis has made good on a big job.
Every word of praise given by Mr. Donnelley, president of the adver
tising men of the world, has been deserved. The wonderful impression
made by Indianapolis in handling the Shrine convention and the Speed
way crowd has been made even stronger on the occasion of/the adver
tisers’ convention
For this we are pleased.
Indianapolis believes in advertising.
And Indianapolis this week has a mighty fine bit of advertising—
kind that brings result*.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE SOURCE
OF ‘ADVICE’ TO DEMOCRACY
(Ft. Wayne Journal-Oaxette.)
Ever since the Indianapolis Stax became so free and generous in giving wholly
disinterested advice to the democratic party of Indiana as to the character of
campaign It should wags and the nature of speeches It should permit, especially 'n
state conventions, we have shared In the general curiosity to know its views of the
political situation in more detail. We have not had to wait long. In resenting the
intimation of President Wilson that the public is not unjustified in its disgust over
the do-notbng policy of the congress, it says:
The session of congress that has just closed has made a credible
record In handling a mass of Important and complicated problems. It has
suved more than $2,000,000,00/ on the funds the various departments pro
posed to spend. It has placed the irallways back on a business basis under
the terms of a law designed to undo the ill effects cf the administration's
disastrous experiment In government operation. It has enacted a long list
of laws dealing with various Important phases of the reconstruction period.
One might almost assume from this that our esteemed contemporary Is a rather
rabid type of partisan paper end scarcely safe as a guide for the Indiana democracy.
It furnishes a very lame exetlse for the congress which has accomplished none of
the things It so blatantly promised in its prospectus except to return the railroads
to their owners after many months of delay, and the enactment of a railroad law
that apparently satisfies no one. And yet It makes the best case possible under the
distressing circumstances. It is always easy to refer to the “mass of Important
legislation,’’ but sometimes embarrassing to furnish an invoice. This is one of the
instances. The two billion dollars "saved" represents a postponement of necessary
appropriation, or a mere political juggling with figures. For example, as Mr.
Daniels bus pointed out, mucb has been “saved” In the naval appropriation bill by
utterly ignoring the navy's imperative needs, by authorizing the building of no new
slips, and making'a miserably miserly provision for naval aviation. After the elec
tion it is to be presumed that these appropriations will be made.
But our republican advisor of the Indiana democracy la not precisely happy In
savlgig that the railroads have been "put back on a business basis.' What party
buncomb is that? The railroads on the verge of another collapse as a result of
this “business basis" are appealing to the interstate commerce commission to give
them back the McAdoo rules and policies as the only ones that can save them from
this "business basis."
"A long list of laws dealing with various important phases of the reconstruction
period"—ye gods and name them! What are they?
But we observe that our republican contemporary which aspires to a place on
the democratic board of strategy in Indiana is eloquently silent on numerous strik
ing omissions of this amazingly wonderful congress.
Even our contemporary does not pay It tribute for the way it did not pass a
budget In accordance to promise.
Even it does not glory in its splendid work for the upbuilding of the merchant
marine.
Even it is silent on the things this congress did not do for the encouragement of
our foreign and domestic commerce.
Aud wo observe that newsprint is saved by devoting no space to the action of
this delectable assembly In revising, reducing and repealing the war taxation In
accordance to the recommendation of the president and the plea of Secretary
Houston.
It will require something more than an ex-cathedra statement of glittering
generalities to lift this notoriously Incompetent congress to the level of the respect
of the nation.
And the people will demand a bill of particulars.
Even a large portion of the republican press has severely criticised the congress
for its failure to function, but perhaps they are too rabidly partisan and it may
tequlre a touch of lofty independence to seuse the glory of its achievement*.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES

By ANN LIBLE-
CHAPTER LX.
Evelyn Ms ion's ready acceptance of
my luncheon invjtitlon rather startled
me. It suggested that my young brother
had made "an impression.”' It came
over the phone In that throaty little
quaver of beri:
"You deer thing! Os course, I’ll
come! I'm keen for a party with you
and that beautiful young Greek god of

I hung up the receiver and turned

“She Is. And in a jiffy, she says So

“Bother yonr Ice chest. We don't

“Don't need coffee, Babbste. Look

When You Travel
Traveling Is exhausting cr not, ac

that you vs 111 take whatever comes com

to be exhausted when you are at your
Journey's end.
It Is Important to read signs on -Ca

retrace your steps. If you can not rtn.l
from written directions and signs ex

Don't start off anywhere j-**t to keep
moving, and never follow the person
ahead of you with the conviction that
I.c- la going In the direction that you
wish to go.
If you are traveling with hand luggage
or with a small child you should always
use an additional amount of self contro.
If you want to keep from feeding fa
tigued.
You really never save enough by re
fraining from the help of a porter to
make this sacrifice worth while. And
don't waste your own energy and
streng’h looking up a porter.
Tell one of the railroad attendants ns
you alight that you wish the services of
a porter. He will get one for you or
tell you the quickest way to get one
for ydurself.
Then don't hesitate to let the porter
lake all your bags If there are too many
for one man he will get another to help
him. And see that he accompanies yor-
Until you have reached a place where
you need not lift the bags yourself.
Os course, In these times we can none
of us be extravagant, but It is often
possible to save quite a little energy
and time by taking a cab or taxi where
the average person would not think of
doing it.
If you have to get from one station
to another In a city where you are not
sure of your wry the price of a taxi
Is always worth while.
You pan make up for It in many ways
Sometimes a traveler spends money on
magazines and candy when he starts out
on a Journey and would not think ot
treating htmself to a porter nr a i occa

without the candy, and got along with
nut the variety of magazines he would
be able to got the other things that
would really make traveling pleasant.—

LAST NIGHTS DREAMS
—And What They Mean—
Did yon dream of stables?
The mystics set down a dream of a
stable as being one possessing the gen
eral signification of hospitality and good
entertainment, either exercised by your
self as host or enjoyed by you as a
guest.
There Is, also, in the various interpre
tations of the dream, the idea of good
news and of a visit from someone who
you much desire to see, and whom, per
haps. you have not seen for a long time
—though the latter is not certain, only
probable.
One authority says that you may count
on one you love coming to visit you soon
after you dream of a stable.
If the stable is occupied with horses
or cattle the omen is a most excellent one
for business success; but if it is empty,
you may expect nuny vexations and be
prepared for much hard work.
To lovers who have had a falling out
a dream of a stable is said to mean that
a reconciliation will soon take place.
A dream of a stable is a fortunate au
gury for a farmer, and to the sailor It Is
an indication that he will soon give up
the sea and take up some profitable occu
pation on land.
If the stable you see In your dream
stahds with open doors, it Indicates th>at
you have, or will make, many friends
be popular In the circle In which you
move. Also, it Is a warning not to en
gage in speculative or venturesome en
terprises and to stick steadily to your
business which, if you are depressed, will
soon Improve.—Copyright, 1920.
