PROTECTION FOR
LABOR IN PLANK
Pr. McCulloch Addresses Big
Audience at Whiting.
Speciai to The Ttmse.
WHITING. Ind., Sept. 16.—Legislation
for the protection of the working man
and woman and endorsement and prom
ise of carrying ont to the letter the law
establishing the two-platoon system for
firemen in Indiana cities, were promised
in a speech here last night by Dr. Carle
ton B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate
for Governor.
“Helpfulness and not selfishness
should be the governing motive. Ade
quate consideration for the Injured; pro
visions for the safety and health of the
worker—all things looking toward the
amelioration of any handicaps of labor —
the establishment of happ’ness and con
tentment will have my earnest consid
eration rnd assistance If I am elected
Governor of Indiana,” said Dr. McCul
loch.
Speaking of the two platoon system
for firemen, he said: “We most see that
these guardians of our safety have theli
time with their families,” he said. "A
double shift Is essential, not only from
their point of view but from the gen
eral public, which will get better serv
ice.
He pledged bis support and recogni
tion to the women, and declared “they
shall have proper representation on cti
boards In which their interests are vi
tally concerned."
Tn discussing the all Important tax
c’lestlon, Dr. McCulloch said that while
it was disagreeable to indulge In too
i :uch criticism, yet be felt It Incumbent
on him to be honest with himself and
the taxpayers on this subject.
“Having complete control of the 191 It
legislature.” he continued, “the Repub
licans undertook to handle the most dif
tirlut and intricate of all questions—the
pax problem.
“They are proud of their handicap, bnt
row are surprised that their solution ut
terly failed to give satisfaction.
‘ The reason of this is fundamental—
tiie task was approached with the wrong
motive.
“The leaders of the Republican party
did not have so much In view the ratifi
cation o? the faults of the law of 1891 as
they did to create a strong centralised
organization, which would quietly and
insidiously and effectively carry control
over the activities and affairs of every
community in the state."
The speaker showed that the second
special session did nothing but legalize
Illegal acts, but commended the first spe
cial session for enacting the 'woman's
franchise law.
Stone Quarry Blast
In j ures 3 Workmen
Special to The Times.
OREEXSBURG, Ind., Sept. 16.—Three
workmen employed at the Greeley stone
quarry at St. Paul were seriously in
jured yesterday in a premature explo
sion.
Paul Craig suffered injuries about the
head, Norman Wolverton received a bad
cut on the hand and Demton Diltz sus
tained injuries to his hip and leg. It
is thought that the injuries will not
prove fatal. The explosion occurred
while the men were preparing a blast.
Grocers Urge Adams
to Clamp Sunday Lid
A conference at which Prosecutor
Claris Adams will be asked to enforce
the law has been arranged by the
officers of the Indianapolis Retail Gro
cers’ Association with Mr. Adams.
The officers of the association desire
the statutes and ordinances enforced
against grocers who keep their stores
open on Sundays.
Prosecutor Adams will be asked to
prepare affidavits against violators and
prosecute.
Some years ago the association con
ducted a campaign against the open
grocery on Sunday and by several pros
ecutions greatly reduced the number
who violated the law.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory.
I hope you remember the song that;
the Good Gray Horse 49m g just as I end
ed the last story, for if you don't I can't
make him sing it again, for he was so
happy at seeing little Puss Junior that
he forgot the words, so the Blackbird
told me, and when you forget the words
of a song, what is the use of uinging it
I should, like to know, and so would
Caruso and so would the leider of the
Salvation Army.
Well, ‘o go back to our story, and the
one before this, too. Puss and his little
friend, the Blackbird, stayed all night at
the Castle of the Prince who had married
Cinderella, and when our two little trav
elers left the next morning Cinderella
pinned a red, red rose on Puss Junior's
toat and gave the Blackbird a little sil
ver whistle to blow when he had a sore
throat and couldn't sing.
And Oh me; Oh my; wasn't the Good
Gray Horse happy to have Puss Junior,
his little master, again on his back. You
should have seen him. His heels flew
out like the piston rods on a big loco
motive and his maoe fluttered iu the
“Pnas, Jr., Gave the Bride a Magic King."
breeze like the Hugs on Fifth avenue
when our boys in khaki are marching, off
to war. Well, by and by, after a little
while, not so very long, they came to a
church with a great high steeple, where
the bell was ringing away as if it were
Easter day.
So Puss said “Whoa!” to his Good
Gray Horse and inquired the reason.
“Because it's the wedding day of the
prettiest girl in the village,” answered
the little old man in black whom Puss
had spoken to.
And then from out of the forest near
by came a troop of fairies with gifts
for the bride,'and after them came a band
of gnomes with precious stones and silver
and gold, and then they all went Inside
the church to wait for the bride to come
down the aisle. So Puss dismounted and
tied his Good Gray Horse to a tree and
went Inside, with the little Blackbird on
bis shoulder.
And when the bride came down the
aisle Puss stepped forward and said:
•Here is a little gold ring I found one
day in a buttercup. 'Tts a magic ring,
my dear. Keep it ever on your finger,
and you will live happily always ”
Wasn't that a pretty thing for Tnss to

do? I think it was, and he had now
been traveling in Fairy Land so long
that he know just what to do. For peo
ple In Fairy Land are always giving love
ly presents to eaeh other. Indeed, I think
it must be like Xmas there every day,
only, of course, they don't have Xmas
trees and stockings and Santa Claus.
For Santa Claus is not in Mother
Goose Country nor in Fairy Land, but tn
this every day world of ours where the
trolley cars run and the automobiles
spin over the roads and where some of
the boys and girls read in some of the
papers this story about Puss in Boots,
Junior.
Well, after that, Puss set off again on
liis Journey with his little friend the
Blackbird perched on the head of the
Good Gray Horse. And he didn't mind
that a bit, for the Blackbird didn't welh
nearly as much as a pound of lead, al
though he may have had on a pound of
feathers for nil I know.—Copyright, 1920.

PROMISES LOWER
STATE TAX RATES
Dr. McCulloch Tells Lafayette
Crowd G. O. P. Is to Blame.
Special to The Times.
LAFAYETTE, Sept. 16.—Before a big
throng of men and women voter* here
this morning, Dr. Carleton B. McCul
loch, Democratic candidate for Gover
nor, discussed State affairs and declared
that he could not see how the farmers
of the State could feel kindly toward
Republican leaders when these leaders
were responsible for the excessive taxes
placed on the agricultural Interests of
Indiana.
“If the Democrats are returned to
power this fall, this tax law will be re
pealed, and a just and equitable law en
acted,” the speaker said.
"Home rule will be given back to lo
cal communities and they will have the
right to spend their own money.” .
The candidate declared that the very
foundation of the prosperity of the State
and nation depends upon the farmer, and
that he should “not be neglected as to
passing of constructive law, for what
benefits the farmer benefits all the peo
ple.”
He called attention to Immigration
away from the farms to the cities and
declared that every possible agency
should be employed to discourage the
young man from quitting the soil.
Dr. McCulloch laid special stress on
the rural school as being one of the
great agencies for good.
“Parents want to live where their chil
dren will haTe the best educational ad
vantages," he said. “These advantages
should be In the rural schools as well
as in the city schools. I shall endeavor
to promote the welfare of these schools,
so that all communities may be in clone
touch with the highest possible educa
tional advantages." •
The speaker pledged himself and bis
administration to better roads and said
he would do all In bis power to promote
and carry out • comprehensive and care
fully planned system of state, countj and
township roads at an economical cost.
