Indiana Democracy*s Problem
The San Francisco interview attributing to Vice President Marshall
• desire to get out of politics is of exceeding interest to Indiana democrats,
Insomuch as it expresses an attitude that will, if maintained, influence
materially the position of Indiana’s delegation to the democratic con
rention.
After numerous experiences with interviews credited to Mr. Marshall
there is, in Indiana, a disposition not to attach undue importance to ex
pression purporting to come from him. Mr. Marshall i8 unfortunate in
that he either says too much or too little in the presence of newspaper
men s*nd as a result apparently authentic interviews do not always reflect
his true position.
Candidly speaking, Indiana friends of the vice president do not today
know whether to accept his reported indisposition to enter the convention
as a presidential possibility as real or imaginary. The interview may be.
and we believe Is, entirely authentic, yet it does not necessarily mean a re
lease from obligation to Mr. Marshall of his Indiana friends.
Thomas Taggart has expressed a very general feeling in statements to
the effect that if Mr. Marshall desires the support of Indiana's votes at San
Francisco he will have it.
To refuse to give the distinguished Indianian the votes of the entire
delegation would be very poor politics, indeed.
But Mr. Marshall must realize that if he desires to be advanced as
Indiana’s candidate for the presidency he should expresp that desire in
some authentic manner.
At the present time Indiana democrats have repeated authentic state
ments from Mr. Marshall that he is not a candidate for the presidency.
They also have corroborative evidence of that fact in the form of state
ments attributed to him and never by him denied to the effect that he
Wants nothing except to be allowed to retire to private life.
The accumulation of public information on this subject is sufficient to
Justify action on the part of Indiana democrats based on the premises that
Mr. Marshall does not desire the support of Indiana’s delegation for any
boom that may have as its object his nomination for president on the dem
orcratic ticket.
If this assumption is as correct as it is justified there exists no reason
why the Indiana delegation should not take up consideration of some other
.Available candidate with a view to giving him Indiana’s votes.
J; In fact, it is due the state, the other available democrats and the
ifielegates themselves that it be determined just what the Marshall position
Ils and that a plan of campaign predicated on that determination be
formulated.
• Indiana's delegation, however, stands adjourned to meet again in San
Trancisco, and it is not likely that either of these matters will be de
termined before the San Francisco caucus.
Carpet Baggers
The return of the carpet bagger may have historic justice. The south
received him from the north after the Civil war. He organized the negroes
and southern states had negro government, with alien white or resident
black legislators and administrators.
The south now sends the carpet bagger to the north. He organizes the
negroes in the south and comes north to say what the republican party
'fhali do.
The south has no objection to this if the republican party cares to
have it so. It has no objection to its nonvoting population sending carpet
baggers to the north if the north cares to receive them. It does not per
mit the southern black population to have a choice in the selection of a
president, but it may have all the choice in the selection of a republican
candidate which the republicans care to accord it.
Representation by voting strength and not by population would correct
<Ms, but the republicans will not correct it. They accept it. —Chicago
smbune.
The Tribune could, except it is a republican paper, have truthfully
stated that the whole Illinois state ticket as well a3 the city of Chicago
and county of Cook ticket is elected by the negro vote.
Os course every person in Indiana knows that the republican state
ticket and republican officeholders of Marion county and the city of In
iianapolis are elected by negro voters.
The white vote in the city and county Is practically disfranchised—
some carpet bagging!
Indeed It Might
There are not many men who for forty-four years have not been
kissed, either by stealth, feminine wiles or force; but it seems that there
is at least one who bears that honor, or stigma, and in addition has the
distinction of having walked two ways—o 27 miles each —deliberately seek
ing a kiss and still remains unscathed.
That, in brief, is the climax of the career of Kirby Mcßill of Topeka,
Kas.—the peak of the load, so to speak; and he didn’t seem in the least
east down or road worn.
He had read in a newspaper that Judge Samuel Harrison of Evanston,
according to a Chicago report, had promised to accommodate “half a dozen
young women weeping for husbands.”
And seeing in this simple announcement a wonderful opportunity to
break his long fast he started fleet-footed for Chicago.
Every story can’t end happily, nor can this.
When he arrived in Chicago the judge was out of town.
But really after all he has not lost, for before him like a will-o'-the
wisp, elusive, delightful, will be the visualization of a pair of red lips.
And, oh well —the red might rub off anyway.
* Discredited and Friendless ’
The republican party, pleading for votes on the ground that ’‘our
government stands discredited and friendless among the nations of the
world," reminds one of the prisoner who, convicted of murdering his
parents, pleaded for mercy on the ground that he was a poor orphan.—'

Now that Pttes Junior had found the

The only thing left was for Puss to
see that the King's Son found the inoat

had promised to him who should bring

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
1 By ANN LISLE.
CHAPTER LXVI
There Is a whole world Jim and I
must bridge to flhd each other. His
viewpoint about the rol>e made me realize
this. To Neal, Tom Mason's giving it to
me had been an insult—to me the robe
was un ugly ghost I was afraid would
always haunt me—but to Jim it meant
nothing !
It was when I made my second attempt
to discuss the matter with Jim that I
realized this. For he laughed at ray
seriousness, and said.
"Come/ dear, we'll stick the old robe
back in the chest and forget it. Os
course, you'd never wear It; hut if you
ever want to cut it up for dust-cloths or
a lamp shade, why, I'm game."
"But, Jim, I can't have it here—it
haunts me. it hurts my self-respect,” I
cried.
"Why should It?” Suddenly Jlift's voice
grew taut. He seized my shoulders In
his hard hands and held me off at arm's
length while hla eyes searched my face.
“Unless—you're not —you’re not Inter
ested In old Mason, are you. Anne?”
“Jim! Os course not. What woman
would look at him If she belonged to
you? Why, I don’t, even like him—that's
the reason I won't have him think he
has given me a present.”
Jim laughed and drew me against him.
The big couch seemed to enfold us
tenderly.
After a minute he lifted bis lips from
mine to ask a whimsical question:
"Well, kiddle, what do you want me
to do with the robe? Bundle it up and
take It over and lay it on Mason s door
step?”
"Oh, .Tim—ye*. Just that!” r cried,
feeling that, his Joke was the very solu
tion I was earnestly seeking.

For he knew that neither of his two
brothers would evbr be able to find so
handsome an animal. Turning to the
Princess, he made a low bow and said;
“Will you not go with me to my father,
for I would also show hinj the most
beautiful woman in the world i” At this
the Princess blushed yet more rosy, but
she replied, nevertheless, that she would
gladly go with him.
In a short time they all set out ana
toward nightfall arrived at the tpalacs

howling away and ranking such a noise
that presently the King got off his
throne and ran half distracted out into
the hall.
At the same moment, in came his
youngest son with his two companions,
i should say. three, for the beautlfnl
grayhound followed closely at the heels
of the lovely Princess. When the King
beheld herewith the wonderful dog hy
tier side, he cried ; “Son. you have
brought me the most beautiful dm-.
Would that you had brought this lovely
Indy for your bride."
“Sire.” replied tho youngest son. "I
care nothing now for the kingdom; t <r
this lovely lady has promised to marry
tne.”
“Zounds!” exclaimed the King, “yon
certainly are a lucky dog!" At which
ali the courtiers laughed, and the lovely
lady blushod. When the King per
celved that he had made a Joke bo also
laughed loud and long. Then the benu

“T•nr Majesty your son ha done me
a gr-ot favor. Now. us T have there

"That l will,” replied the King, “for

King’s youngest son and the lovely
Prlucess were married that night, and
the next morning Putts said goodbye.-

The Right Thing,
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL S. I)LIFER.
V .
It is quite possible for persons differ
ing radically in politics to meet con
santly in social or business relations
without producing any friction whatever
owing to thelt difference in political
preferences—lt is possible, that is, if the
persons concerned are armed with the
armor of good breeding.
There is quite an art in knowing how
to discuss politics without getting into
an argument.
Many hostesses, especially at this par
ticular time when political feeling is run
ning high, dread' of all things to have
their guests start on a political discus
sion.
In fact, many a hostess goes so far
as to suggest to guests when she hears
them begin a heated political discussion
to talk about something else.
It Is quite possible to make this sug
gestion with perfect good humor and
even with a touch of playfulness, so as
not to give offense.
It Is better perhaps than o wait until
the argument has waxed hot snd actual
hard feeling has resulted.
However, the very clever,hostess can
sometimes adroitly turn the conversation
of her guests so that they are saved from
a heated political argument without
knowing that their hostess has actually
done this.
Os course, it is quite permissible for
yon to try to persuade a friend or ac
quaintance to alter his political convic
tions if you feel that he ia in the wrong.
And It is perfectly fair to try to per
suade an acquaintance to vote for some
other candidate than the one he first had
in mind.

The Last of June
Immediately after the adjournment
of the republican convention the fol
lowing story started its rounds:
Bob, a negro coachman for an Ala
bama planter, drove the carriage to
the station about four years ago to
meet his employer.
Ilob was a faithful old servant find
very proud of the fact he had worked
for the present planter’s father and
was raised as a boy with “Mr. Jim.”
The planter had been to a convention
of cotton growers at Mobile. After
driving away from the station, Bob
wanted to start up a conversation and
said: ...
“Mr. Jim, what am de news?” The
planter replied :
“Why, Bob, the republicans have
had their convention In Chicago and
nominated Mr. Hughes for president.”
“Is dat so; when am the white
folks going to hold tbeir convention?”
undertake this action of conversion and
you should never start ip the good work
at a social gathering.
WHAT READERS ASK.
“When a young man calls on a young
girl Is it good form for him to suggest
reading to her?
‘.‘Sometimes we have trouble in keeping
up an interesting conversation and I
thought ;t would be all right to spend
a little time reading, but do not want to
make the suggestion if you think it
would be rude.”
Sometimes It Is very tiresome to listen
to reading aloud. Usually It. fs enjoyed
only by persons very well acquainted who
have the same taste In books.
You might discover whether the young
woman in question enjoys being read to
before you make the suggestion.—Copy
