SURE, the State fair could be improved if it had greater revenue —
provided the revenue went into improvements!
“GOODRICH REIGN UNDERGOES FIRE,” says a headline. And the
fire is fed by coal from the convict worked Goodrich mine.
CHICAGO ought to realize that Indianapolis politicians have to let
their henchmen live and “soft pedal” that baseball lottery stuff.
THE SCHOOL BOARD'S ATTEMPT to “pass the buck” to the State
Board of Accounts has had the usual results. The buck has been passed
back.
AFTER HIS FALL from the fourth story fire escape In New York

Protecting Bootleggers!
Asa result, of the painstaking care and exceptional effort of Paul G.
Davis, Democratic candidate for prosecutor of Marion County, the Daily
Tim pb is able today to present to its readers an authenticated instance of
how the Republican officials of this city and county have ‘taken care” of
a notorious bootlegger whose claim to their indulgence lies in an
ability to do “dirty work” for them in political circles.
Lorenz Leffert, alias Pop Leppert, is the bootlegger who is the re
cipient of favors as follows:
1. Relieved by the Criminal Court of serving a thirty-day jail sentence
imposed on him on a second conviction for operating a blind tiger Dec. 18,
1918. '
2. Relieved of paying judgments against him on forfeited-honds which
he had signed 'n blind tiger cases amounting to $1,500 in excess of amounts
paid June 19, 1920.
3. Charge of operating blind tiger "continued indefinitely” in City
Court Sept. 2, 1920.
In each of these cases Prosecutor Claris Adams has, either in person
or by deputy, helped Pop Leppert to evade the penalties fixed by law.
Adams kept Leppert out of Jail by permitting him to plead guilty to
one count of a charge against him in Criminal Court after he had been
convicted of a charge carrying a heavier penalty in the City Court.
Adams permitted his deputy to “satisfy” for SSOO a Circuit Court
jucfgment against Leppert for $2,000 which could have been collected for
the State of Indiana at any time that Mr. Adams was inclined to do his
duty.
Adams permitted Judge Walter Pritchard to continue indefinitely a
charge of operating a blind tiger against Leppert in the City Court when
he might have brought about the third conviction of Leppert by the exer
cise of a very little of the energy he willingly expended as a campaign
manager for a defeated candidate for a place on the Republican State
ticket.
These are the kind of favors to bootleggers and other lawbreakers
that make bootleggers common in Indianapolis.
This is the kind of protection, offered to notorious crooks, that must
be broken up before this community can have a decent government.
The Leppert case is finly one argument why no one in any way con
nected with the office of Prosecutor Adams should be allowed to hold of
fice any longer.
There is no good reason why Leppert should have been favored by
the Criminal Court, the City Court and the prosecuting attorney's office.
He is a law-breaking, peace-menacing outgrowth of the “good government”
and “clean politics” regime under which this community has been
struggling for the last two years.
He Is a typical example of the class of men for whom this administra
tion has exhibited much concern throughout its the courts.
There is only one thing unexplained in Mr. Davfs|s expose of the
Leppert case.
That one thing Is the consideration for which Leppert was so favored.
There must have beep a consideration, for the release on the clerk’s
docket fays:
“FOR VALUE RECEIVED this judgment Is fully paid” and the rec
ords show that only SSOO of the $2,000 was paid into the treasury.
Is William P. Evans, deputy of Claris Adams and candidate for the
office of prosecutor on the Republican ticket, interested in ascertaining
what this consideration wa6 and who received it?
Conte on Home!
Those gentlemen, both Republican and Democratic, who are now busily
engaged in laying out speaking tours and arranging meetings for the ex
ploitation of both candidates and issues in this campaign would do well
to remember that the things the public is most interested in are the
things that the public encounters in its every day life.
For example, no matter what the voter's attitude toward the League
of Nations he is more vitally interested in the tax levy.
No matter what doubts enter his mind as to proper construction of
article 10, the amount of taxes he will pay in 1921 is a subject that is
very near his heart.
And, just as this subject of taxes is near his heart, so is the power
to affect the tax levy near his hand.
Indiana may not be able to settle the question of whether the United
States enters the league or not, but Marion County can determine the
question of "whether its tax levy continues to increase at the rate of 50
per cent a year, as it has this year.
What the people of Marion County wish is a little more attention
on the part of candidates to the affairs of this county in order that they
may know what to expect from the nominee they choose to elect.
Perfect accord on the League of Nations does not forecast an end of
the "gleeful spending" that has trebled the taxes of Marion County resi
dents in the last four years of "good government and clean politics."
i , •
American or Pro-German?
As time wears on and James Eli Watson continues his bid for the
German support in this state the issue between Mr. Watson and Mr.
Taggart becomes more obvious.
Not only are the voters of Indiana to have the opportunity of showing
whether they wish a business man or a professional politician to represent
them in the senate, but they are also going to have the chance to choose
between Sylvester Viereck’s Prussianized friend and a real American
citizen.
Those who are still tolerated among us with a greater love for kultur
and kaiserism than for America, will vote as they are now talking, for the
specific benefit of the German nation, which Mr. Watson says showed its
great friendship for us by refraining from dedaring war on us even after
w'e had declared war on it.
Those among us who still feel the patriotism that sent our soldiers
to France, that the democracy of the world should be preserved, will
work and vote for Thomas Taggart for senator.
On election day we will find out, among other things, whether this state
Is a part of the United States of America or merely a colony of Deutsch
land.
‘The Star-Spangled Banner*
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of our national hymn,
the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
We do not do it with great noise nor yet great sacrifice, but in solemn
joy we sing its old words, thankful that in the early days of the nation
Francis Scott Key passed through the experience that gave us the hymn.
Every school child knows the circumstances of his producing it. It
is gratifying to know, too, that the author of it lived to a good old age,
with a life well this world’s goods, in love of family and In the
enjoyment of the esteem of his fellow men.
We are thankful, too, to know that of of which he sang,
over a century ago, not a stripe has been enß^ior polluted, and not a
single star obscured.
To the gentlewomen in our community who fjjlbihoaring the celebra
tion of this day, Mrs. J. L. Alexander, Mrs. and Mrs. H. E.
r Sanford, we owe our commendation. Tire spliflPllyyiik'av and the oc.
On Aug. 22, 1019, the Indiana Daily
Times published a letter signed by a
number of jail prisoners, complaining of
the food served In the Marlon county
jail, and declaring that they were starr
ing. This letter was brought to the at
tention of “Honest Bob” Miller, the re
publican sheriff, who refused to conduct
au Investigation as to the truth. No
investigation was conducted by the r
pnblhan prosecutor, the republican
Judge of the Marion criminal court, or by
the Marlon county grand jury.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
By Ann Lisle
CHAPTER LXXI.
The next morning Sheldon phoned to
suggest taking the Invalid and his nurse
out for a breath of air at three.
“It's Sheldon—tp ask If you want to
go motoring,’’ I whispered, turning with
my hand over the receiver.
Then I had to listen hard with two
ears, for Jim shouted an excited:
“Surest thing you know! I’m fed up
with accounting.”
"Tell Shelly we'll be there with bolls
on.”
And into the other ear this was pour
ing :
"I’ve asked Mrs. Dalton and sho say*
she will be delighted to go—hasn’t seen
old Jimmie for a couple of day*—so
busy moving into her new apartment.
We il have a Jolly afternoon, won’t wei
And I promise not to show then our
little path in the park.”
I thought fast. It would be t far
from Jolly afternoon If Virginia and
I met and aired our feud.
“Will you take Phoebe In my place?”
I asked coaxingly. "I've a magazine
article of Jims to copy, and Phoebe
baan't seen him for daya. either. It
would be such a treat for the child.
Will you do this for me?”
"Oh-for you! Little LUsc Lady. I’d
do anything for you,” cried Sheldon, the
gallant.
So we settled It over the ’phone and
before long radiant little Phoebe her
self came up o call for .Tim. After
she bad hugged me gratefully she bore
him off In a great rush, while he faintly
protested that ne hoped I wouldn’t be
lonely.
Not lonely! This was the first time
since our marriage that Jim had gone
off on a pleasure excursion from which
PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory.
You remember in the last story that
Puss had escaped from the wicked giant
spider and was now, at this very min
ute, as I open this story, bowing po
litely to the little girl under the red
apple tree who had Just said, "Here
comes tbo story book cat!"
And the reason she said It was be
cause right there on her lap was the
story of Puss In Boots, tyhlch she had
been reading to her little brother.
And when he saw Puss with red top
boots and cap and golden feather, he
wanted to play with him at once. But
the Blackbird, who bad flown into the
apple tree, suddenly called out:
“Run, run, run into the cottage!
Here cornea a wolf!"
And when they were safely Inside and
had locked the door, the Blackbird
“Here Comes the Story-book Cat,” Said
the Little Girl.
peeked ont of the window, and there
stood a great gray wolf.
“Oh, dear; oh. dear!” cried the little
girl, “If mother comes home now she
will be killed,’! and'tlxe poor child sat
down and wept.
“Never fear,” said the brave Black
bird, “tell me where I may find your
father and I will fetch him.’’ And then
be flew out of the window right over
the bead of the big gray wolf and off
for the windy hillside where the little
girl’s father was herding his cows. But
It was a long ways off, and pretty soon
the great wolf tried to break In the
door, and when he couldn’t do that, he
tried to pull the blinds off the windows,

DAVIS PLEDGES
DECENCY
Democratic Candidate for
Prosecutor Outlines
His Policies
THE JAIL SCANDAL
oners for special privileges and for
specified sums were made "trusties.”
Judge Anderson declared that these
men were not fit to be jailers;
were running a gambling house, and
that tiro sheriff was responsible for the
Improper management of the Jail, When
his attention was called to the amount,
of money that the republican sheriff hau
made out of feeding the prisoners he
termed it "plain robbery” and said:
“If that Isn’t a scheme to defraud I
don’t know what It Is.” .
The republican sheriff and six of his
former deputies were indicted In the
Marlon criminal court on April, 17, 1920.
“Honest Bob” Miller has not been tried
by the republican prosecutor. Some of
his deputies have been tried and one of
them was given a fine of $250 and sen
tenced to ten days in jail, from which
he appealed to the supreme court, where
his case is now pending, and another
deputy was fined $5.
If I am elected prosecuting attorney
I will endeavor to make It unnecessary
for the judge of the busy federal court
to see that our county officials perform
their duty and-1 will certainly promptly,
investigate all conditions of this kind
which are brought to my attention by
any citizen, and will diligently prosecute
all persons indicted for such offenses.
PAUL G. DAVIS.
I was omitted. Os course, I had planned
this, but that didn’t make It any easier
for me.
For Jim and I had left my own world—
the world where I counted, where I was
loved. I bad left and gone into his world,
where I was the outsider—to be toler
ated, flirted with a bit, perhaps, or pat
ronized and “helped"—as by Betty—but
never accepted with that complete under
standing Betty and Virginia fell for each
other.
And now Virginia and I were not even
on speaking terms. Betty, it seemed, had
dropped me, and Evvy scornfully kept
up a show of friendliness because she
had to endure me In order to see JJra
and Neal—whichever It was who Interest
ed her most.
At the thought of Neal I had a bad
moment. Even Neal had turned to Jim—
but at that point 1 caught myself back
from gray self-pity. The one splendid
friendship that had grown out of our
headlong marriage was the tender, un
derstanding big brotherly relation be
tween Jim and Neal. I fixed my jmlnd
on that. There was the blue in my sky—
the friendship betweeu my boys.
And then like a whirlwind Neal came
Into the room. He flung himself upon
me and, seizing my cold hands In his
strong, warm clasp, be began swinging
mo about at arm's length in a regular
whirling dervish dance.
“I'm fit. They took me. I report Mon
day. I'm a soldier. Little Ned's off for
the artillery camp out near home. Ain't

HISTORY OF KNITTING.
Q. When and by whom was knitting
first done? * L. F. R.
A. Although there are classical refer- i
ences to such work, It is Impossible to j
say that such allusions mean knitting as .
it is known today. It is probable that j
these ancient writers regarded knitting
as a type of weaving. “Knit” in the
specific sense In which it Is known to- j
day, was mentioned In an old grammar
published In 1530 A, D. This gives the
verb, “to knit.” The word is probably
derived from the Saxon “cnyttan,” mean
ing “the making of fabrics from thread
by hand.”
THE ICON OF liER.SK.
Q. Give the history of the Icon of
Iversk. A. M. P.
A, The Icon of Iversk Is said to have
come miraculously over the sea on April
27, 999 A. D., to the Monastery of Iversk
on Mt. Atfaos In Greece. The Icon has
been placed at the inner gates of that
monastery and Is stUI there. It Is also
called the Gates-Arch Icon and 1* con
sidered the most sacred thing on Mt.
Atboa. A copy of the Icon was brought
to Moscow, Russia on Oct. 13. l(H8. The
copy was met by the Csar and patriarch
of the ehnrch at the Moscow resurrection
gates and was placed In a special chapel.
Both the orlginul Icon and the copy are 1
said to possesa the power of miraculous
healing and people in trouble are helped
if they go and pray to this particular
icon or its copy.
A BRITISH SUBJECT.
Q What nationality would a person
born In Scotland be, whose father la
Irish and mother Scottish? B. It.
A The British embassy says that a
person born In the British Isles is a j
British subject, therefore, tits nationality
1* British. A person born In Scotland of j
an Irish father and a Scotch mother
might call himself either Irish or Scotch,
as he choose*.
CONVICTED MASONS.
Q. Doe* the Masonic order try to help
Its members who have been convicted of j
crime? j. v.
A, The grand secretary of the Free j
and Accepted Masons In Washington. D. 1
says that the fact of being u Mason
In no way Interferes with the admlnls- j

that the organization has nver In the
slightest way Interfered with any exe.
entton or given any assistance to a
felon.
FIGURED WALNUT.
Q. What part of a walnut tree yields j
the lumber that has a uv-lded figure.
A. L W. J

wavy grain at a point where the roots
begin to spread out from the base of the 1
tree, thongh scarcely one In a bundled
Is suitable for use. Figured walnut is

burls, which may be found occasionally
on trees. All fliese pieces of wood are
used as veneers.^
