NOR ARE FRAUDS in Republican negro precincts unfamiliar in the
history of the “good government and cfean politics” regime.
* %
ORDERING operators to produce specific amounts of coal and getting
the coal are two different things, as the coal commission is about to
' demonstrate. „ /
\ :
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS is no longer the issue, according to the
Republican State committee. The Democrats appear to have settled that
question in this election.
. / *
But Where Is the Coal?
Governor Goodrfth’s coal commission, created by the same special
session of Governor Goodrich’s Legislature that attempted to prevent
scratching by reducing the time a voter may have to cast his ballot, has
issued another order to the coal industry of Indiana.
This time it directs its order against the coal operators of Indiana
and in effect demands that they mine coal and sell it as the commission
directs at the price the commission fixes.
The coal operators, and also the coal dealers of Indiana, ■wiH find little
sympathy awaiting them in their struggle with the Goodrich system of
government.
The coal consumers ol Indiana have long felt that they were being
imposed upon by the whole coal industry and they will welcome the spec
tacle of the coal operators and dealers squirming under a lash applied
either legally or illegally.
But the order of the Goodrich coal commission, issued approximately a
week before' the election, should not be misconstrued into having any
great merit as far as the interests of the coal consumer is concerned.
First. The coal commission will have to establish its legal right to
make guch an order.
Second. Some agency greater than has ever shown itself in the
Goodrich administration will have to be called upon to enforcs the order.
It is inconceivable that the coal operators of Indiana will accept the
order of the Goodrich commission and comply with it.
To do so they would have to admit the right of the State of Indiana
to take from them that which they own and arbitrarily compensate them
at a rate which thev insist is inadequate.
Also, they wquld be compiled to break contracts which they Lave
heretofore made with dealers outside the States and which contracts are
doubtless more lucrative to them than the proposed methods by which
the commission orders them to sell their coal.
Finally, to comply with this order, the operators wi'l have to
admit the right of the State to force them to work their mines whether
they desire to do so or not, and the right to compel them to conduct thfir
business as the State wishes it conducted and not as they see fit to con
duct it. .
f Iu this lies the great danger to the community of the coal commission.
If the State, as represented by the Goodrich commission, can compel
coal operators to mine coal and sell it as the commission directs, is there
any real reason why the State, through some such agency as the State
board of agriculture, cannot compel the farmers to plant wheat whether
they desire or not, and sell that wheat to some designated dealers, such
perhaps as the Sawers Grain Company, which maintains a seat on the
Chicago Board of Trade and has as its vice president Warren T. McCray,
the Republican candidate for Governor? -
We do not expect the coal commission to succeed in forcing the coal
operators to produce coal In accordance with this order.
We do not believe that the coal commission expects to force the goal
operators to provide coal by this order.
Along with the majority of those who had knowledge of it, we con
eluded when this coal commission bill was originated that its purpose
was more political than practical.
To date it has not succeeded in filling the coal bin of any consumer
with coal for less than he could have bought coal had the bill never been
conceived.
There is nothing now to indicate that as a result of the creation of
this commission Any more coal will be available for the consumer or the
price will be any lower. „
* Up to the present time all that has been accomplished is the paralyzing
of such copl distribution as we previously had.
when this fine weather is broken up and the coal consumer finds
himself unable to get coal at any price, the coal commission’s many or
ders will neither keep the home fires burning nor will they turn the cal
endar back tb *the date when coal should have been moving toward the
domestic coal bins and was not.
Defeated!
The Indiana Republican State committee has seen the shadow that
forecastsVthe defeat in Indiana of the entire Republican ticket.
After having insisted for months that the paramount issue before this
nation in this election is whether we adopt the League of Nations and
thereby "surrender our sovereignty,” the comniittee is now buying space
in the newspapers of the State to assert that:
“The results of the coming election will not hinge upon the
Wilson League of Nations.”
And therewith the Republican committee advises the people of In
diana, that the issues of this compaign are entirely something else than
that upon which it‘has made its campaign, for example, the “tarifT,” that
ancient fetish on which the Republicans stood for so many years!
There can be only one explanation of this sudden change of front
. by the Republican organization.
The Republicans realize that the League of Nations issue will
defeat them in Indiana.
y
They are today trying desperately to bury the issue they raised them
selves and the issue on which their candidate, Mr. Harding, has never been
able to take a permanent stand.,
The complete flop of the Republican party In the last ten days of this
campaign is proof of one outstanding fact:
Indiana today has been captured by the Democrats.
The Republicans are faced with the necessity of breaking down the
issue on which they lost Indiana.
For Self or Others?
The people of Indiana will decide Nov. 2 whether public service
consists in amassing private fortune through the Chicago Board of Trade
or in facing death on the battle-front in the skilled and unselfish care of
ouc. wounded.
Warren T. McCray stands squarely on his record as a “business man,”
according to his own boasts. He promises, if elected Governor, to apply
the same principles to the affairs of the State that he has his
private business.
A glance at his business record discloses that he was never a worker
or a producer, but always a shrewd, grasping, “get the money” trader.
He promoted a railroad and fought a law suit brought by his partner
to obtain a partner’s share of the profits.
He evaded taxes on his fancy stock farm and cattle and took Immense
profits from the sale of blooded animals taxed as "beef.”
He operated throughout the war on the Chicago Board of Trade,
the influence of which is now condemned as strangling to the farmer.
This is the kind of “service” he offers the people of Indiana as
Governor. ,
Contrast this with the record of Carleton B. McCulloch!
fp2 He built a name for himself by relieving the suffering of his fellow
in Indianapolis.
He crossed the waters with the boys who fought the Huns and he
Hsked his life in the trenches seeking to relieve their suffering and save
Rieir lives.
He, too, operated throughout the war. but his operations were un-
selfishly given to save life and limb under conditions that could bring
him no profit save the knowledge of assistance to his fellow beings.
Do the people of Indiana want the selfish, grasping policies of McCray
applied to their State government? 1
Or do they want the services of a man r who has all been doing
something for others? Mgfgk
Is This Coercion?
When at any election voting is by machine, no voter shall re
main within the voting booth or compartment longer than one min
ute; and where voting is by printed ballot, no vote (correct) shall re
main within the voting booth or compartment longer than three
minutes. —Sec. 8 of an act concerning elections and declaring an
emergency, approved by Governor Goodrich July 21, 1920.
If this statute, enacted at a special session of the Goodrich-Mc-
Cray controlled Legislature of x the State of Indiana with an emer
gency clause making effective on its passage isn’t aqt attempt to
abridge the suffrage of the voters of Indiana, what is it?
If It was-not conceived, designed and enacted for the sole pur
pose preventing the voters of one party from expressing their per
sonal choice for candidates of another party what gave it birth?
If, in its effect it will not tend to force the Republican voters of
Indiana to vote for Ora Davies, the Republican'candidate for State
treasurer who went short In his accounts as treasurer of Howard
County, what will it do?
Republicans of Indiana, the bosses who enacted this law are
now insisting that you vote straight, a ticket which you did not nomi
nate, a ticket which includes men whose records you cannot coun
tenance, whose election to office would not be a reflection of your
desires or sentiment.
And In order to make sure that you must support this ring’s
choice, it has laid about you a law that will restrict your balloting.
It is up to you to rebuke this effort to FORCE you to vote for
such men as Ora Davies.
It is time you preserved your right to vote for whom you please
by overwhelming these bosses. •

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
■ By David Corv.
In the last story we left Puss in the
Fairy’s Rose I-eaf house, you remember,
when a deep gruff voice called out, “I’ll
! break down yopr house If you don’t let
me In 1”
“Now, who do you suppose that la?”
asked the little Fairy, and she turned
as pale aa a while roae. and maybe a
little paler.
“Don’t be afraid,'’ anawered Puss, and
he drew hie sword and opened the doo{,
And who do yon auppoae waa standing
outside? You’d never guess, ao I’ll tell
you right away.
A great big Black Snake, and on hit
head was a high silk hat and around his
neck was a thick iron collar set with
diamonds.
“I’m King of Ihe Snakes.” he said,
“and I’ve come to tell the Fairy Queen
that her subjects must keep out of the
Woodland Dell.”
And then he gave a deep growl and a
loud hiss, and coiled himself around a
tree, and after that he broke It right
off at the roots and It fell down with a
dreadful cragh.
“Gracious me:” exclaimed fbc Fairy
Queen, “what shall I do?”
“Don’t be afraid,” aabl Puss. “I have
a little magic gold ring you gave me
long ago,” and be tdrned It aronnd three
times aud instantly a little IBack Man

"Wbat 1 your will, little master ?”
he asked Puss with a low bow. So Puss

than a flash of lightning, and off came
that Hlacl Snake’s head like the top of
a dandelion when you hit the stem with
a stick.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES,
A New Serial of Young Married Life
— By Ann Lisle
CHAPTER LXXXVIII (Continued.)
The rush didn’t start till 5, so I had
plenty of time to familiarize myself witn
methods. A handful of change, a pleas
ant word, and, for the new boys, a nod
toward the plate of cigarettes that were
given free. Carlotta Sturges kept stroll
ing over to offer me advice, and I found
myself borrowing her methods of ex
pression even while I reflected ruefully
that I was by now wrapped, tied and
labeled, "Property of C. Sturges."
At dusk a pretty girl popped her
head thrflugh the door and x piled a
dozen boxes Os cigarettes under the rail
ing of my little ‘cage.’
“Far the boys,” she whispered. “I’m
too shy to donate them; so you see that
the lads get their smokes.”
Then all in a second she was gone.
At once I opened a box of the cigar
ettes and spilled its contents on the al
most empty tray before me. Like a
flash Carlotta Sturges darted across the
room and blocked off tbo cage from
everyone’s sight.
“Who gave you those?” she demand
ed tersely.
“She didn't tell me her name. Only
that she wanted the boys to have the
smokes—and was too shy ”
‘•Chuck ’em iu the waste basket:"
ordered Miss Sturges. briefly.
“But 1 thought our lleuteuant would

"She'd be pleased to lire you if she
thought you’d even planned to rl tg in

Whereupon Carlotta Sturges vanished
as quickly as had the unknown donor
Os the cigarettes. I felt a warm glow
rushing right up from my heart to my
cheeks. Certainly this slangy, bolster
ous girl must be very near the ragged,
edge of the lieutenant’s good will, and
yet she was willing to permit me to
use her caution and forethought to my
own advantage.
“I’ll tell the lieutenant before the
evening Is over,” I promised myself.
But then the dinner rush began and
I was so busy making change and offer
ing smiles that I left long after 8:30,
without thought of my opportunity to
say a good word for the girl who had
so generously helped me through my
first day.
Carlotta Sturges walked up the street
with me to my car line, and as she was
leaving me she said carelessly.
“Glad I was there to wise you up a
little, Mrs. if. May not see you again
for an age or two. I'm going on an
other unit. Lootie and I don’t hitch.”
W r as there no regret In my voice? I
couldn’t be sure. And I couldn’t ask.
So 1 thauked her, said goodnight and
got on my car. I rode a block or two
and then I fairly dashed off the car, and
hurried up the dark side street to the
wide avenue.
Breathlessly I ran up the avenue I
