IT'S TOO LATE now even for Gov. Goodrich to parole or pardon the
negro, Ray.
PERHAPS the city administration intends to allow the fire chief also
to figure out where the money will be obtained from which to pay for two
platoons of firemen.
WHY NOT allow the police to store that overflow of stolen automobiles
in the jail yard? That particular county instiflition seems to be the abiding
place of everything undesirable.
APPARENTLY, what the south’ side women desire is less odor and
more food as .exemplified by their demand for the removal of mules and th*
establishment of a market.
THE ANDERSON BULLETIN, referring to the last special session of
• the legislature, says “Jim Goodrich has adjourned. ’ He now has time to
compile the acts of the special session for the public.
FROM THE EXTENT of his correspondence one might almost think
that John McCardle was having as much troubie'in getting grain cars for
his relatives as Goodrich has in getting coal cars for his.
ANNOUNCEMENT is made at republican headquarters that Senator
Watson is coming to Indianapolis and Chairman Wasmuth is conferring
with Goodrich. Seeking protection or framing up something?
Two Leagues of Nations
Before the end of this campaign the national republican party will be
advocating a league of nations.
It will not be the league of nations conceived by President Wilson and
bofn at Versailles, but it will nevertheless be a league of nations and the
democracy will be hard put to show sufficient differences between the two
leagues to win the support of republicans who are today impatient with
their party for its wobbling on this great morai issue.
There is nothing in the republican national platform nor in the ac
ceptance speech of 'Warren G. Harding that precludes support of a league
of nations covenant other than the treaty of Versailles.
There is much- transpiring in political circles today that shows plainly
that such a covenant will be formulated and offered to the public by the
republicans before the end of the campaign.
The republican national platform talks vaguely of an international
tribunal. In that talk is laid the basis of the Harding league.
The republican nominee elaborates on the idea in his acceptance speech
as follows: *
“With a senate advising as the constitution contemplates, I would
hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that
understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecration
of nations to anew relationship, to commit the moral forces of the world,
America included, to peace and international justice, still leaving America
free, independent and self-reliant, but friendship to all the world.”
These two declarations are open to a liberal Interpretation. They
may be stretched to cover a covenant as broad in its effect as the treaty of
Versailles, as surely a league of nations as today exists without the par
ticipation of the United States.
And such a league—to be known as the Harding league and offered in
lieu of the Wilson league—will most assuredly be forthcoming from the
republican headquarters before November.
William Howard Taft predicts it when he says Harding is not opposed
to the league. Hiram Johnson does not preclude it when he declares that
Harding is on record against the Wilson league.
The republican press refuses to accept the version of the Harding
speech that is interpreted to damn the league of nations.
In the national politics of this country there never was a cleverer or
more unscrupulous strategy evoked to win an election than is today under
full sway in the several states.
Here at home we have the Inaianapolis News valiantly leading a fight
for a league of nations, persistently pointing out to Harding that he can I
not back away from this great issue.
Several months ago the News was lauding the reservationists in the
senate.
Its position is clear. It is for a league of nations and when the ap
pointed time comes it will be able to find no fault with the league of na
tions —as suggested by Warren G. Harding.
If it were not so, why would its messenger, the mayor of Indianapolis,
be spending so mudh time at the Harding council chambers?
"When this national campaign gets down to the real issues there will
be only one outstanding difference between the party candidates on national
issues.
That difference will be that the democrats will be advocating with all
their might the participation of the United States in a league of nations
tried, proven and in existence, while the republicans will be advocating
with equal vigor an ephermeral league of nations proposed, impractical
yet outlined with a view to catching the support of every political faction.
The democrats will be In earnest In their advocacy of the Wil
son league for the betterment of the world.
The republicans will be earnestly advocating a league of im
practicabilities with a view to getting the votes.
Politically the advantage will rest with the republicans.
Morally the advantage will be with the democrats,
Then, as in the last days of the last congress the question will be
merely whether or not we keep faith "with those who lie in Flanders
fields.'’ \
Color Possibilities
Great possibilities are opened up by the theory of Dr. Dinshah B.
Ghadiali of New York, that drugs could be reduced to their color poten
tialities and disease could be prescribed for in that way.
It seems that, In accordance w ith this theory, in health, the body colors
are proportionately balanced.
"Disturbance of this color balance produces disease.
“Establishment of the color balance by administering the lacking colors
or reducing the increased ones restores health.”
If this contention be true, think of the waves of exhilarating, fightin’
color that would sweep over one’s entire system by the mere absorption of
a small bottle of red Ink—a small quantity, for the doctor cautioned that
red was too great a stimulant to be used in quantity.
For mentality there was yellow, which might be taken to mean, to those
sans erudition, to best be exemplified in the humble person of the here
tofore despised "valler dog.”
Green was for humility; but if this were known generally throughout,
the country so great would he the demands for this color, for the other
fellow, that there wouldn’t be enough left to paint shutters.
Indigo for benevolence, which theory was possibly advanced in an
earlier age and is indirectly the cause of the hue for mourning among
the heirs of a wealthy decedent.
Unfortunately, however, the theory, as it reached here, falls to state
the formula foT compounding these colors, or whether they shall be swal
lowed, snuffed or shot in the arm.
Another Promise!
Both the adult and the Juvenile population of Indianapolis has occasion
to rejoice over the renewed promises of bathing places In Indianapolis even
though there may be a gradual graduation of the latter class into the former
before the promises come true. I
There is always something refreshing about a promise. At its worst
it demonstrates that the promiser is not without a sense of obligation and
in these days when the members of the Jewett administration so calmly
ignore the many promises of their campaign for office it is heartening too
find a department that still retains a sense of obligation to the voters.
A promise of two municipal bathing places next year la infinitely bet
ter than nothing at all. If our recollection is correct it Js 50 per cent better
than last year’s premises. Eventually the administration may promise us
one bathing place and deliver it. jk
