NOW that the Star has swallowed Jim Watson completely, we under
stand what the Chicago Post meant when it said this is a campaign of
“sheer buncombe.’’
MAYOR JEWETT ought to clean out that desk of his. Perhaps he
might find some of the things there that he promised the people of Indian
apolis before he was elected.
McCRAY is a real dirt farmer, shouts the Muncie Press, but the tax
records show that the only household goods he has in the township con
taining his farm consists of six beds and twelve chairs!
HOWARD CERF, life prisoner, testified at Shelbyville that he was |
induced by a reformatory guard to steal automobiles. Another chapter
of the record on which Jim Goodrich says the Republicans must stand this i
campaign.
.
Evans and Adams
That community which tolerates “compromises’’ with crime is indeed
subjecting itself to grave menaces.
Such has been the history of the world and such is the eternal truth
of today.
One does not need leave Indianapolis to find a practical demonstration,
either of the compromise or of the results.
Claris Adams, prosecuting attorney, electecf by reason of the delusion
that he was a “clean young man who would not compromise with evil,
has been In office less than two years.
In that two years there has grown up such utter contempt of the
ability of the prosecutors office to enforce the law that felons no longer
fear to confess their enmes, that bootleggers have no fear of forfeiting
their bonds, that “fixers” do not hesitate to tamper with jury venires, that
election crooks do not attempt to conceal their offenses against the
electorate.
Mr. Adams will go out of office soon. His going will be a source
of great regret to law violators, to professional bondsmen, to “fixers,” even
to felons, but no individual that believes in the sacredne6s of the law
will express a regret.
Mr. Adams will be succeeded in office by one of two men, \V. P.
Evans, his chief deputy, or Paul G. Davi6, who stands against all the
policies that Mr. Adams has pursued in his tenure of office.
These policies include:
Permitting interested parties to stuff the jury bos from which juries
are drawn for the trial of wealthy prisoners.
Permitting favored attorneys to appear with their clients in the grand
jury room and there examine witnesses in defense of clients.
Compromising judgments rendered against defendants, always wifA
due consideration of the fees that go to the prosecutor in such cases.
Permitting gamblers and gaming house keepers to pay fines re
peatedly and return to their dives to continue conducting their nefavlous
businesses until time to appear and pay more fines and more prosecutor's
fees.
Forcing citizens to leave the township in which"'they reside and go
to another township to face trial for technical violations of law tike prose
cution of which brings more fees to the prosecutor.
Overlooking such grave offenses against the electorate as were
perpetrated in the last primary and in the preceding primary.
Failure to investigate such apparent conflicts between Aworn testi
mony and public records as were reveaied in the garbage plant deal.
Condoning such waste of public money as has been revealed by the
State board of accounts in its examinations ot the affairs of the county
commissioners of Marion County.
Winking at such things as the collection of illegal fees by the county
treasurer, the loan to himself of school money by the ctounty auditor, and
the repeated and persistent disappearance of confiscated liquor from the
custody of the police.
Ignoring such scandals as the burning of the feet of an insane patient
in the county jail as a punishment.
And hundreds of other law violations.
The issue is squarely before the people of Marion County.
It was brought there recently by the abject failure of Prosecutor
Adams in a personally conducted investigation of the case of Roy Llnken
(felter. who confessed assaulting more girls than he could remember.
Mr. Evans is the chief deputy of Mr. Adams. What Adams has done
Mr. Evans approves. What Adams ha& failed to do, Mr. Evans condones.
Law enforcement in Marion County under Mr. Adams has so completely
broken down that a man may not be Indicted for a felony against little
girls even after he has confessed.
Mr. Evans would continue all this. •
Can the mothers and fathers of this community Bupport the Adams-
Evans policies?
The Davis Case
Sherman Davis is a negro bootlegger, one of the class In Tndianapolls
who have done more to contribute to race hatred than any other agency.
He was convicted in police court and Richard V. Sipe, Republican
county ejerk, signed his appeal bond to the Criminal Court.
He was convicted again in the Criminal Court and appealed to the
Supreme Court of Indiana.
The record of the case in the Supreme Court did not suit the pur
poses of those white men who were interested in keeping Sherman Davis
from the penal farm.
Accordingly, the record was changed.
The Supreme Court says:
“When a transcript is filed here it becomes a part of the records
and is under the control of the court.
"If the appellant discovers that it should be corrected, he may under
Rule 34 apply to the court for a writ of certiorari, and that may be done
without notice to the opposite party if the cause has not been submitted.
“After submission, it may be done by giving ten days' notice to the
opposing counsel.
“It is a judicial function that inheres in courts of last resort to make
rules governing conduct of counsel and care of the court's records.
“The Legislature can no more be permitted to interfere with this
function than the court could be permitted to Interfere with the custody
or form of legislative journals.
“The change made In the transcript by the clerk of the lower court
at the instance of counsel is but a mutilation of the record and cannot
be recognized to decide any question arising on a motion for anew trial. - ’
The Supreme Court thereupon affirmed the conviction of Davis.
Will Davis serve Ills time?
The white men who for some reason have devoted so much time and
trouble to keeping Davis out of the penal farm still ha,re recourse to the
Governor, who can doubtless find that “Mr. Davis’s business needs him”
and issue another parole.
Lincoln and the Negro
The refusal of the board of election commissioners of Marion County
to permit the use of the bust of Abraham Lincoln as an emblem of the
all black ticket offered by the negroes of Marlon County is indicative of
the attitude of the Republican party toward the negro.
Insofar as tjie vote of tl|e negro is concerned the party allows him to
participate in its glories.
In no other way, however, is he favored
No person since the Savior is held in greater reverence by the negroes
than Abraham Lincoln.
The desire to head their ticket, the first move for franchise inde
pendence, with the bust of the emancipator wss logical and natural.
But the election commissioners declare that Lincoln is too symbolic
of the whole Republican party to permit the use of his bust as a designa
tion of the Independent Republican party of Marion Connty. v
In other words, it says to the negroes of Indianapolis, that .s long
as they will vote as white bosses dictate they may honor and revere the
name of Abraham Lincoln, but when they propose to vote independently
they must not connect their vote with Lincoln because Lincoln was a
great Republican and only a Republican may honor
WHY TAXES ARE HIGH |
The State Board of Accounts in its;
report cf May 28 1919, said:
“We have attempted to show through- j
out this report that the same measure of .
careless and exrtavagant expenditure pre- '
vail s lu all departments of county gov , J
eminent, and that no effort is made tfl

the county. Tbe_ final result of the p\.
tire system Is disclosed In the pre 1 Ant
condition of county revenue, which s!
an apparent balance on Dec. 31, 19'*$.,. of
$56,225.62. This balance is really 1 y.iated
by a sum which should b on for

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
19. 'Yhe McKinley-Bryan Race of 1909
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON. ,Y. C.—Long before
the national conventions met In the sum
mer of 1900 eve /ybody knew that the
Republicans wo /.d renominate President
McKinley, and fliat the Democrats would
again follow t p? leadership of Mr. Bryan.
McKinley’s' /nomination wa , made cer
tain because r,t the great prosperity which
Mossed the country, because of the suc
cessful iss <u of the war with Spain, and
because off the perfection of the organ
ization o'i the Republican party under
Mr. Han and the cot?rie of Republican
Senators, -that stood with the administra
tion. i Aryan's renomluation was made
certai-, by his popularity with the rank
and gie of liis party, notwithstanding
the fitter and Intense opposition of the
“go Jfl” Democrats.
Lite rdbomination of Bryan in 1900 is
th* only Instance of the renomluation
of an unsuccessful candidate for Presl-
Avnf in the campaign next stter his de
feat. Jackson was a candidate in 1828
| after his defeat in 1824. but as be hau
I tiie plurality of both popular and elec
i toral votes In the first race, and tin there
were no party nominations then, his case
is not a precedent. Henry Clay was three*
times a candidate for President, but
only once was he the recognized nomi
nee of the party, and that was in the
campaign after the one in which he was
defeated for the Whig nomination by 1
General Harrison. Grover Cleveland whs
nominated In 1892 after his defeat In
1888. but as he had served one term In
toe White House he could not be con
sidered a wholly unsuccessful candidate.
No man who has met defeat at every
turn of bis career In national politics
has been able long to retain the leader, i
ship of one of the two great parties
with the single exception of Mr. Bryan.
NEW PROBLEM* CHANGE THE
COURSE OK NATIONAL LIFE.
Between the presidential campaign of
1896 and 1900 things bad happened which
were to change the whole course of
American national life.
War was declared on Spain, and in
less than four months It was over. The
American victory was complete and the
United States had suddenly become a
"world power.” In the sense that tiigi
phrase is used In Europenu chancel
lorier.
As tlie result of un sir the United
States found itself In the possession of
several things it had never had before.
There were the colonies- the Philippines,
I’orto Rico and Guam. There was tne
protectorate—Cuba. There was the
church lands question. Them was the
extra-territorial tariff problem and the
question, "Does the Constitution follow
the Flag?” In addition to these new
things, the nation also had anew
crop of war heroes. CJtfef among these
was Theodoro Roosevelt. "thorn were
Admirals Dewey, Schley, Sampson and
lieutenant Hobson. Mr. Bryan had'en
deavored to become a war hero, too, but
the regiment which he, commanded was
not permitted to get farther away than
Tampa.
HEROES FADE INTO OBUVIO.V.
ROOSEVELT THE FICTI REBQUK.
Admiral Dewey was the great naval
hero. Naturally, he was Clcns*ed as a
candidate for President. He made the
fatal mistake of taking the first •‘men
tlon” as seriously as if it had been a
call from the notification committee of.
n national convention. He accepted a
nomination in adranoe of its being of
fered, and was promptly laughed Into
oblivion. Sampson and Schley were In
volved In a controversy that removed
both of them from the hero class, tlen.
Joe Wheeler had been a "rebel general”
and was out of the question politically.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Col. William
J. Bryan did not get to the front.

Republican county official* which to re

PAUL C DAVIS.
, Thus It happened that when two years
j had gone by and the country faced nn
! other quadrennial struggle for the presi
| dency, it was found that the war with
Spain had produced but one genuine war
hero who had lasted/- That was Colonel
Roosevelt. He hadn't been high In com
mand In the Army, but he had organized
u picturesque regiment and had done
many picturesque thing*. He had actually
participated In u battle and had proved
bis eagerness to fight,
i The Republicans of New- York State
had takeu him up and bad elected him
Governor, not so much because "they
wanted him, but because he was the only
niau who could win. As has happened
since, the Republican bosses fdund that
a Governor so selected might be entirely
too self-willed to rule the roost at Al
-1 bany to suit the organization. In those
days the will of Thomas C. Platt was
law lu tho Republican organization In
New York State. Not eveii Mr. Roose
i volt openly opposed It then. But Platt
knew that h could not hlil Roosevelt
down, so he decided to ge rid of hltn.
He would kick him upstairi.
EFFORT TO DISCARD ROOSEVELT
HAS OPPOSITE RESI I.TS.
Therefore, he went to the Republican
convention at Philadelphia with his plana
all laid. The nomination of McKinley
was assured, although there was a little
Roosevelt talk from the Western States.
States that had gone for Bryan four
years before. Ilanna and his senatorial
coterie ruled everything. There were
Platt and Quay, Fairbanks and Allison,
Depew and Koraker, Wolcott and Lodge,
and the convention was going ae they di
rected.
Hanna wanted Cornelius N. Rllaa or
Senator Allison nominated for Vic* Presi
dent, Vice President Robert having died
in office. Platt took Quay Into his
scheme. They must get rid of Roose
velt. Bo they organised the willing
Westerners and began whooping it up
for Rooaerelt for second plsce. The
dangerous man was to be burled alive In
the Vice Presidency.
Colonel Roosevelt was already a can
didate for President for the campaign
of IWM. He believed that hl interests
could be advanced more readily if h“
remained Governor of Sew York than if
be were made Vice President. He pro
tested with earnestness and vehemence.
He fought ns hard ita ho possibly could,
but the enthusiasm for the one war hero
who bad weathered the storms of two
years whs so greit that it conld not be
overcome. Hm eaperletly when man
aged by two veteran manipulators like
Piatt and Quay. Bo it was that Theodora
Roosevelt wars kicked upstairs and put
on tle ahetf "where ho won Id never
bother national polities again.”
The Democrat* met In Kansas City on
July 4 and the Silver Republican mt In
the same city on the same day.
There was a great fight, led by David
B. Hill of New York, lo prevent t."he
specific reiteration of 'he free sjlve
of IStffl, but Mr. Bryan insisted and the
plank went In. Adlal Stevehson, who
hid been elected Vice President with
Grover Cleveland in 1891’. was given the
second place on tbo ticket. Tta Silver
Republicans promptly nominated the
same candidates. Later-In the campaign
the anti Imperialist convention mot an 1
Indorsed bryitti. The GoM Democrat*
called a convention, but lb was decided
not to make any nominations. Marty <.f
the leaders of the Palmer and Buckner
following came back Into the pari.-, and
supported Mr. Bryan, but tb largo ma
jority of the rank and file of the cirve-
Und faction went Into the Reptityflcnn
Party.

Mr Bryan had attempted to make •'im
perialism-' the paramount issue tu the
esmpsign Many conservatives wei-e in
tense in their opposition to the Inaugura
tion of a colonial system. Republicans
and conservative Democrats who looked
upon the Bryan of with horror were
willing to follow him in 1080 There is
no question but that the Bryan vote
among the educated classes was greater
In the second campaign than the first
But among othot classes Mr. Bryan
could not hold his own. The Republicans
made the ‘full dinner pall" the para
mount Issue. As for the colon 111 pol

to humanity The thing to talk about
was prosperity. The country was pros
perous and was becoming more *o every

tration in goad times.

by n much greater majority then b" had
received four years before. There was
never s time during the campaign when
McKinley w* in any danger of defeat.
Th- Democrats accepted hie re-election as
a, matter of course. The mingling of
northern and southern ssidiera in the
campaigns in Cuba and Philippines had
obliterated the last vestige of the old sec
tional strife, and when President McKin

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AN INTERPRETATION
XXI.
“So far os Great Britain is concerned,
it is the Year One for treaties," Mr. Bal
four used to say in Paris wlseu asked
how the Japanese would take the articles
of the league covenant doing away for
ever with secret understandings and pri
vate diplomacy. Therefore, when article
20 was proposed by the President of the’
United States, abrogating all existing
treaties not consistent with the league
prohibition of secret diplomacy and pri
vate alliance, the British supported it
vigorously. Article 20 makes it abso
lutely impossible for members of the
league to have seere#. obligations for war
and concludes the great peace achieve
ment begun by article 10 and carried
through all of the covenant. It follows:
“The members of the league severally
agree that this covenant is accepted as
husband dies, or she has been divorced
from him, she automatically becomes a
citizen of the United States again.
“IN GOD AVE TRUST.”
Q. AVhat coin first bore the motto “In
God AV Trust?” K. Q.
A. The bronze 2-cent piece coined in
1864 was the first coin to bear this
motto.
GOVERNMENT HEADSTONES.
Q. AA'hat kind of headstones does tbe
Government furnish for soldiers?
c. w. s.
A. The War Department states that thej
only type of tombstone which the Gov
ernment supplies for a soldier s grave is
a small headstone about eighteen inches
in height, with the soldier's name and
other necessary Information engraved on
it. These headstones are supplied only
for men who actually died while In
military service.
A STRING THAT NEVER BREAKS.
Q. What is the meaning of the picture
“Hope," showing a blindfolded woman
sitting on a globe? G. C. R.
*A. It Is said that George Frederic
' Watts, the painter, attempted an alle
-1 gorical story in his picture of "Hope.'’
