FINE WEATHER for swimming—if we had a swimming holel
WANTED —A robber-proof receptacle for the deposit of dairy lunch
cash.
IT NOW APPEARS that the first thirty-nine days of this session will
be the hardest.
ALONG WITH OTHER important legislation, why not a bill estanlish
ing a home for feeble-minded cats, declaring an emergency?
WHAT’S THE MATTER with the nerves of the Indiana (J. O. P.? The
sedative appears to have been exhausted on the state legislature.
’— /
CONTINUED PATIENCE may some day be rewarded by a sewage dis
posal plant. In the meanwhile we are paying Interest on the bonds issued
for the garbage plant.
PERHAPS it was a greater degree of self-reliance that prompted the
house to turn down the senate’s call on President Wilson for help in the
coal crisis.
IF THE ELIMINATION of disease germs depends on proper dish
washing as Doc Morgan says, we know a lot of places where there is a
superabundance of germs.
Harding’s New Platform
At last the mystery of why political parties go through the formalities
of ‘‘notifying*’ a candidate of His nomination seems to have been dispelled.
It is very apparent that the republicans conducted this little sideshow
at Marion, 0., yesterday in order to give Senator Harding a chance to
promulgate a campaign platform more to his liking than that which the
delegates to the Chicago convention framed under the able guidance of
out own Jim Watson.
Mr. Harding used the opportunity to the limit. He appears to have
answered the question of whether the republican party stands for the
league of nations as Mr. Taft says or against it as Senator Johnson bays.
And his answer is very similar to that of the Irishman who was asked
whether the word was pronounced “neether” or "nyther” and promptly re
i
plied “nayther.”
If we understand Mr. Harding’s pronuncio correctly, the republicans
are neither for nor against the league in this campaign.
What they appear to want most is what the Germans want —peace
When they have been surfeited with peace, then the republicans will
give attention to the league, yea. they may even go so far as to invite the
moral support of the other nations of the world in the establishment of
an understanding that as long as everybody is agreeable there will be
peace.
This may be completely satisfactory to that part of the nation which
agrees with Will Hays that the people of the United States are more In
terested in the stomach of the American people than in the lives of Euro
peans, but it must be a tremendous disappointment to those among us
who gave up their Beloved ones in order that there might never be another
world’s war.
It must be a great disappointment to those who fought in Europe to
preserve the peace of the world to find now that they are invited to fight
in the United States to bring about the peace they thought they had in
sured when the Huns signed the armistice.
There was some complaint heard among thinking republicans over the
platform adopted by the Chicago convention.
There will be a great deal more heard from republicans who feel that
we should not have fought a war for nothing when Senator Harding’s newly
enunciated platform is desseminated.
Talking Common Sense
Whatever prejudices may be retained against the Indiana Bell Tele
phone Company on account of its misguided efforts to obtain higher rates
in this community it must now be admitted that Edgar 3. Bloom is talk
ing common sense.
In his interview in which he makes definite pledges for the unification
of the two plants in Indianapolis he has taken a step that will do much
to break down opposition to higher rates.
This newspaper has persistently pointed out to the telephone com
pany that until it gave the community some assurance of unified service
it has no reason to expect assurances of better financial support.
It is unfortunate that Indianapolis will have to wait ten months for
this unification, but It is reassuring to find that at least the management of
the telephone company recognizes the necessity of unification and has
given a, definite pledge of its accomplishment.
As to the difficulties of obtaining capital and efficient employes there
will be no dispute with Mr. Bloom. There are nc business who do
not realize that these are general problems and the telephone company
has no better chance of solving them than any one else.
The outstanding feature of Mr. Bloom’s revised attitude toward the
public is that he has discarded the policy of trying to force the telephone
patrons into paying high rates for the present inefficient service and has
instead adopted a policy of trying to make the local telephone service
worth more money to those who use it.
The public generally has a great deal more sympathy for a person
or a corporation that is earnestly striving to better itself than for the per
son or corporation that adheres to the idea that it is what its patrons make
it and is satisfied to be such.
Why, Indeed?
Strmeone with a more vivid imagination than has yet been discovered
ought to come forth and explain to the people of Indiana just what the
state board of charities and corrections thinks it is doing to earn the money
it costs the taxpayers of Indiana.
When Judge Anderson forced an investigation into the conduct of the
Marion county jail and intolerable conditions were revealed, the state
board of charities “alibied’’ with the assertion that its inspector had made
a “partial report’’ on the conditions therein existing.
"When it was disclosed that the insane patients at Julietta had been
without fire protection for two days because the institution’s head had
thoughtlessly become ill without having previously arranged a coal supply,
the state board of charities appeared to be as surprised as the general
public.
Yet the supervision of these Institutions is vested by the law in the
hands of this board.
The institutions are not supervised.
The board is not doing its duty and the wards of both state and county
are suffering as result of this failure.
It is, perhaps, too much to expect that a group of “parlor sociologists’’
would actually perform all the duties delegated to them by law, but is it
expecting too muen to presume that they will perform a part of them?
Will someone! please tell the public why we have a 6tate board of char
ities?
The Primary Law
The action of Jim Goodrich’s house of representatives in voting
repeal the present primary act without offering any sort of a substitute
for it is in keeping with the general record of its members.
When overwhelming pressure is brought to bear upon them they
reluctantly admit that perhaps the public’s wishes should have some at
tention and then they demonstrated their inability to do anything worth
while.
The people of Indiana do not wish to be without a primary law, but
they are dissatisfied with the present primary law.
A legislature that has been termed "the best that ever met" ought to
have no yxmble evolving a satisfactory primary law to replace the present
statute.
Repeal of thd-present law without substitution of a better one would
be a plain admission on the part of the legislature that while
something ought to be done they are incapable of doing anything
for constructive effort. s ' |§S

HOROSCOPE
"The stars Incline, but do not compel."
SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1920.
Jupiter is In evil ‘place today, accord
ing to astrology. Neptune Is threaten
ing.
It Is read that unsettling rumors about
certain phases of business will cause
financial troubles.
The west comes under a rule of the
stars that is held to be depressing to
buslnesss, but the shrinkage in volume
will be followed by quick revivals, as- j
trologists declare.
This planetary government appears to !
indicate loss of confidence among work
ers who will find a class of big busi
ness antagonistic to important plans.
Intrigue is so strongly indicated by
Neptune that the seers declare conspira
cies affecting the welfare of great num
bers of persons appear to be foreshad
owed.
While occulists lay stress on the fact
that In making prophecies they neces
sarily must draw conclusions from cer
tain planetary governments, generalising
on w-bat may come to pass, they now
declare that surprising and sensational
events are at hand.
Mlunderstandlngs and even grave com
plications with a foreign power are fore- '
cast.
During this direction of the stars men
and women are Inclined to be suspicious
of one another s motives, questioning
acts and challenging statements.
Discredit for a public man who
been much In the public eye is indicated.
He w-ill bo the victim of envy and Jeal
ousy.
y Women may be exceedingly susceptible
to this day's influences of tttf star*,
which are supposed to be depressing and
to encourage rash acts.
Oil again is to be much in the public
mind and Neptune bodes ill for person*
who are Inclined to speculate tn st\ks.
Revelations concerning resources That
assure large supplies are Indicated. The
seers declare that the raw product will
come from strange places.
Persons whose blrthdate It Is may be
highly sensitive at this time and they
may quarrel easily, owing to the direction
of the stars. The year should be a pleas
ant one, If self-control is maintained.
Children born on this day may be ex
ceedingly keen-witted and active, but
these subjects of Leo may be liable to ac
cidents, especially to scalds or burns.-- ,
