Talking for the benefit of the readers of the London Morning Post,
Warren G. Harding says:
“It is not in the province of either the United States or .the League
of X*ion3 to interfere in the Irish question.”
Talking for the benefit of the voters of the United States Mr. Harding
refuses to admit that there is any such thing as the League of Nations.
Directing his remarks to the Irish sympathizers/in the United States.
Mr. Harding “points out” that the League of Nations would, forever stop
Ireland from attaining freedom.
Talking for the benefit of th 9 voters of German extraction MrJ
Harding advocates a separate peace with Gertnany, regardless of the
League of Nations.
Along comes Senator Johnson and says Harding has scrapped the
League of Nations.
Out goes ex-President Taft and says Mr. Harding has in no way bound
bimself to oppose League of Nations.
Up rises Mr. Will Hays of Sullivan and declares that the Republican
party is soundly united behind Mr. Harding in his views on the great

Motors and Cows
The report of the committee on Improvements to the Society of Auto
mobile Designers at Syracuse, wherein the relocation of the engine on
automobiles was seriously considered attracts particular attention.
It Is proposed to ,locate the engine over the rear truck of all pleasure
cars, thereby just reversing the appearance of the car.
This is the natural outgrowth of the enlarged hood, to which is added
the idea of gaining greater efficiency, even at the expense of beauty.'
In the early development of the automobile, at Kokomo, there was very
little, If anything, in front of th 9 dashboard, while the engine was located
under the body of the car. ~
This was before the law was passed forbidding cattle to run at large.
Cows frequently" occupied'the roadside in great abundance. To use a term
later invented, they were parked there by the owners. Collisions between
automobiles and cattle were frequent and dangerous. To eliminate the
danger of the cow coming back into the car, in fact to act something like
the cowcatcher on a locomotive, the engine was then placed ahead of the
body and- a nice hood was provided for it.
This arrangement has been acquiesced in ever since, although it has
serious disadvantages which almost if not quite overcome the good of It. !
Some relate to the vision of the driver, others to the mechanical application
-to the car. "•
The hoods became bigger and the length of the car greater till the
vision of the chauffeur was impaired to the extent he could not always see
pedestrians in his_ way and frequently he run them down. He could not
see chuck-holes at'all. > *
Mechanically, the principle that power should be located jiear the
place of its application demands that the engine be placed directly over
dSb rear axle rather than transmit the power the* entire length of the car,
is managed by a few rods, but now transmission the great
occurs. So a location eliminating niuch transmissidn gear would be
acceptable improvement on all cars, would lighten them somewhat
would contribute to the efficiency.
HKlAnother item is to be considered. There is some complaint that as 5.
old, the odor of oil and other materials arising from the engine is
obnoxious to the owner and his guests. Bv placing the engine to the
the car, just as long as there was motion of the car, it would be
Hrau.
We will watch for anew car built on the above designs with consid-
Brable interest, particularly since cows have learned to obey traffic regula
tions better than many motorists.
Compensation
The law of compensation always operates. If the congressman who
promised a repegj of the law of supply and demand had doiy so, possibly
he could have legislated on the former.
Strict business eliminates considerable of the human element of life.
For example, adding machines have no souls, make no mistakes and are
now doing a service which some of us cannot perform. They may need
repairs ocasionally, but that's all.
. The automobile is a mighty fine thing, but the motor doeß not have
sense enough to stop at the righf'place. yhe machine will stick to busi
ness just a9 long as it is properly treated.
These are examples of business, strictly limited.
Then the law of compensation enters.
i The presence in a business office of a gentle stenographer is lovely,
her jworst habit is chewing gum. and being late; but these we forgive.
she cannot spell. Compensation again. The machine she
operates is supposed to be mechanically per^ct;" even keeping silent while
our elusive ideas are emitting or cogitating. But spelling never.
Three or four ladies, estimable, beautiful and possessing all the charm
of manner and refinement of person imaginable meet while downtown
a shopping. They are just at a busy crossing where the crowd is pushing
baßk and forth, in its busy hunt for the almighty hollar. All the courtesies
of accumulative cqpturies are represented in. those ladies. *\
They meet, greet each otffer, stop a minute. Possibly they do not
discuss politics nor city management, but they pause to express Buch little
niceties as well-bred ladies wont to talk about. They tarry. The
minute is lengthened into several and it lodks like a mob. v
The busy policeman stands and motions and whistles and sends street
cars rejoicing and keeps automobiles from running down each other, hul
he cannot move that delightful bevy, nor does all the friction of a hurrying
world prevail against it. The sidewalk is distressed and congestion nrq#
vailes. Enters compensation. We would rather have those ladies 6top all
business and block the street than to miss st glance at them. So wotihj

LEPPERTS CASE
Regardless of why the Republican
prosecutor attempted to release Lorenz
Leppert of the payment of Judgments In
fa /or of the State for $2,000, upon the
payment of SSOO, tb“e fact Is that thU
attempted compromise is a nullity be
cause under our Constitution (section 17,
Burns. U. S., 1914), and the decisions
of our Supreme Court (Butler vs. State,
97 Ind., a7S), the Governor of the State
is the only official who has (he right
to release or compromise such Judg
ments. I have found, after tnaklng a

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Once more
the their faith in a war hero,
and for the second and last time they
were victorious. Zachary Taylor was
nominated because he was the popular
Eero of the war with MeYico. It mat
■ tered not that he had never cast a
vote in his life and had never taken
any interest in politics. It Mattered
not that the war in which he won glory
and renown was condemned by the
Whigs as a crime against civilization. It
mattered not that he'was a Southern
slave holder when Northern Whlga were
beginning to battle every day against
the extension of slavery. It mattered
, not Henry Clay, the leader of the
Whlga. again wanted the /nomination
from his party. Nothing mattered ex
cept that the Whlga wanted to win. that
they had won in 1840 with a war hero
and an alliterative slogan, and that
they conld do it again. Thus to General
Harrison and “Tippecauoe and Tyler,
too,” was added General Tayldr and “Old
Rough and Ready.” These were the only
meg the Whig party ever put in the
White House, and it is remarkable that
they are the only two Presidents who
have died in office of natural causes.
But <“*tn the hearty attractlveueas of
General Taylor, the freshness of his
war-won laurels, the magic of the mem
ory of Buena 'Vista, none of these things
would have availed to defeat the Demo
crats had it not been for the factional
party fight in New York State, which
ultimately resulted in the formation of
the Free Sell Democratic party and the
candidacy of Martin Van Bnren for
President. Van Buren did not carry a
single State, but he got a suffteftnt

Geneva, in Switaerland, fulcrum of re

League of Nations chosen by article 7
of th Covenant, which 1 reprinted below.
The remainder of article 7. provides that
the seat league may be removed

'The Democratic national convention
met that year in Baltimore on May 22.
The nomination for President was a ractT
between Lewis Cass of Michtgun and

was nominated on the fourth ballot with

the convention was not over the nomina

the hunker, or conservative wing of the
Democratic pgrty In New York.
The barn-burners were Liberal Dem
ocrats, whose name • given to them
because of the similarity of their doc

Dutch farmer, who burned hla barn to
get rid of the rats. Some authortittes,
not friendly, assert that the name was
derived from the depredations of certain
persons in western New York, not un
like tho Kentucky night-riders of mom
recent fame. The hunkers wore the
conservatives, who believed in standing
by the party, whatever betlded. "Hank
er” is .New Y'ork Dutch-Engllsh for
“hanker.” which is akin to "hunger,” and
the name was applied to those of the
Democrats whose desire- for the posses

Barn-burners and hunkers came down
Ito Baltimore, each swearing death
against the other. Behind the barn
burners was the awful shado'w of Martin
Van Buren Who nad been the head of
the greatest political ma
chine the party had possessed. The
party had defeated him for re-nomlna
tlon four years previously by the Im
position of the two-thirds rule, and by
permitting -delegates Po disregard in
structions. His friend, Sllak Wright,
had declined the Vice Presidential nomi

by running for Governor of New York
and lining Up the Van Buren strength for
the Polk ticket. Two years later, In

i election as Governor, and the blame was
laid on the hunkers. Van BurVn and
his friends wanted., revenge.
The Baltimore convention was unable
to decide between these bitter factions
and therefore voted to seat both delega

aides declined to accept the compromise
and refused to vote in the convention.
