ANYHOW, it was a fine fight, wasn’t it?
INDIANA CITIZENS can now give some attention to getting in their
coal.
HERE’S HOPING we get a breathing space before the city campaign
gets under way.
INDIANA’S ELECTORATE, the greatest society in the State, initiated
a powerful lot of new members when the women voted today-
ONLY A GREAT COUNTRY populated by the best people in the
world could survive a campaign of this type every four years.
WE KNOW some candidates, and others, who are going to ha>e a
chance to renew’acquaintances with the various members of their families
after today.
Issues That Are Ever Present
However desirable the contrary may he, the fact remains that this
election, today, will not determine a great many questions in which the
citizens of Indiana are vitally interested.
No matter which party wins, thSre will remain the increasingly Im
portant problem of what is to be done about Indiana’s tax laws.
And the equally important problem of how the citizens may obtain
better law enforcement. ' . .
Certain specific pledges relative to taxation and law enforcement have
been made in the campaign.
There will still be the necessity of seeing that these pledges are kep
after those who made them have entered office.
Campaign promises, made in all sincerity, have not infrequently been
forgotten when the enthusiasm of election has faded.
Indiana citizens owe it to themselves to see that pledges made rela
tive to taxes and law enforcement are not forgotten.
Democrats and Republicans alike agree that the present tax laws
under which taxes have been increased so tremenduously the last two
years are not satisfactory' for the reason that they are not equitable
nor just- *’
There may have been differences of opinion as to what changes were
most desirable, but there was and still is a unity of opinion that some
changes are necessary. '
Regardless of party lines, the electorate of this State must continue
to urge two things—tax law revision and better law enforcement.
In Marion County the question of law enforcement Is particularly vital.
While it is a matter of pride to the citizens of Indianapolis that the
citv is one of the cleanest in' the country, there nevertheless must be a
zealous regard for the law in order that this highly desirable condition
may be maintained.
’ Then, too, Marion County citizens are confronted with enormous taxes
and many necessities of improvement calling for additional outlays of
the taxpayers’ money.
There is no wealth in Marion County that the citizens can afford to
see dissipated. Every dollar that is carelessly or extravagantly expended
means a dollar less for proper and desired improvements. The pocket
book of the taxpayer is not inexhaustible.
Hence, the two big problems confronting the citizens of the county
will continue to be big problems when this election is forgotten.
The struggle for a better Indianapolis will not end with the closing
of the polls- The election will merely one stage in a continuous
journey toward better government.
A Fitting Memorial
The plans of the executive committee of the American War Mothers,
to erect a memorial consisting of several figures, iu the headquarters of
the American Legion appeals very strongly to a tender cord in the heart
of every American. The intention is to make this a work of art, but aside
from any merit of that kind, some fitting recognition is in order, to express
the gratitude due those who stayed at home and waited
'Perhaps with the view of the war yet so vivid there is a tendency,
true to human nature, to consider its trials just a little more severe than
any previous wars, for one always considers ones own trials Just a trifle
different from those of his neighbors and one solicits Just a little more
sympathy or palliation for one’s own troubles.
It is so true that they also serve who sit and wait, especially in war
and in great mo\ements, that due honor and thanks should be extended to
the war mothers at all times. A break in the moral* of the mothers
would at any time simply crush the morale of any American troops. Men
can boast and bluster, fight and die, but the truth is that they do it all
with the help of the mothers at home.
Every hospital experience is the same; those in agony, and those
about to make the supreme sacrifice carry the name of mother on their
lips, either consciously or in fancy when tired nature is about to close the
career.
So far as America was concerned, during the world war, the mothers
were prepared to endure all, to hope for all and to cling to all that was
needed for victory. They never faltered. Indeed, the same is true of
many other countries, suffering more than did America.
Mother endures and is silent where no one else will carry the burden.
So the erection of a memorial to show appreciation is a small reward to
patient merit-
Figures
Now comes the State board of health and asserts that Ft. Wayne is the
second healthiest city in the United States for babies. The infantile death
rate there is only fifty-one in 1.000. Berkeley, Cal., is lowest with only
forty-four, while Gary is 102, Indianapolis eighty, and Kokomo ninety-one.
It makes the Hoosier proud to realize that the State approaches the
finest record in the United States as a place in which to be born, even If
it be the second best. The demonstration of the figures is undisputable.
California is far distant from here and railroad fares have been raised
hence it is safe to advise posterity to go to Ft. Wayne for birth Although
not first in health, the possibility of reaching that goal may create a better
condition than would have been found if it had been attained as an ambi
tious city will often accomplish wonders in a 6hort time.
The chances of infantile life are twice as good there as in Gary and
much better than in Kokomo.
It must be concluded that Ft. "Wayne is 'a very sanitary place, with a
fine milk supply and an excellent climate.
Ft. Wayne is located in the northeast part of Indiana, at the head of
the Maumee River, which is formed by a junction of the St. Joseph and St.
Marys Rivers It is about thirty miles east of Columbia City, the former
home of Vice President Thomas R. Marshall and about the same distance
north of Geneva, where Jean Stratton Porter wrote so interestingly of the
Limberlost. •
The place may eventually be reached by train' or trolley from Indian
apolis.
The Sorrows of Holidays
The burning to death of an 18-year-old girl at Fountain City by her
Halloween costume catching fire from a piece of burnt cork sickens the
heart beyond expression. .
Just a happy girl engaged in innocent fun pays such a dreadful pen
alty that the world should notice the
It seems that every day and each celebration is marked by the sacri
fice of life, when there is no necessity for it. The safe and sane Fourth
of July has come to stay. It follows a disgraceful record of casualties.
There is no reason why the first ice on the river should cause someone
to be drowned nor why the rocking of a canoe should occasion at least one
tragedy a season. A beautiful day should not presage numerous automobile
accidents-
Human life cannot be restored. It is owing to every one that more
prevention and care against the loss of life be observed. The approach of
Miy extraordinary occasions should not heralded by grewsome stories of
injuries, accidents and deaths. *

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
—By David Cory.
Now let me see. tn the last story
w© left off just as Puss saw a great
big tremendous hobby horse full of war
riors, for it was hollow inside you know.
Well, pretty soon a long procession of
people came out of the city which was
near by and dragged that wooden horse
inside the gates.
And oh, dear me, when night camo
the armed warriors Inside crept out
through a little door In the side of the
big wooden horse and opened the city’s
gates and let in their comrades, who
took the city for themselves.
“Gracious me," thought Puss to him
self, “I’d better be on my way,” so ofT
he went, and by and by he came to a
huge cave where lived a robber giant.
And ns Puss stood outside a little yel
low bird—that same little yellow bird
whose name I shall tell you seme day,
began to sing:
“Have a care, have a care,
A robber giant lives In there.
Venture not within the cave
Notwithstanding you are brave.*♦
So Puss went on a little way until
he stumbled over n man lying
asleep under a tree. And near at hand
was a herd of oxen grazing on the
meadow. And then, all of a sudden, out
of his cave came the great giant, and
ho seized hold of two of the animals
and dragged them into his cave.
And he was a very cunning sort of
a giant, for lie had dragged the oxen
backward by their tails, so that their
footprints on the soft ground looked ns
If they had gone In the opposite direc
tion. And all this was done so quickly
that Puss was too surprised to speak.
Put after a llttlo while he walked over
to where the sleeping man lay and said:
“Wake up, Mr. Herculesfor that
was the man’s name; but how Puss
knew it puzzles me, unless the little y-d
low bird told him while I was writing
the story—and then Hercules jumped up,
goodness mo, he was a strong niau! He
looked to be as strong us the giant, only
of course he wasn't so big.
And when he learne-d who had stolen
Ids oxen bo ran straight to the cave

and in a loud voice called to the giant
to come out. And jjretty soon the giant
did, and if he hadn't I guess Mr. Her
cules would have dragged him out.
And then a dreadful fight took place,
and the giant was killed, and Mr. Her
cules called to his oxen, and they heard
ids voice and ran out of the cave. And
Mr. Hercules led them back to the others.
‘\'ome with me.” he said to Puss and I
will show you some wonderful things,
for I see you are a traveler and in
search of adventure.” So Puss went with
Mr. Hercules. And in the next story you
shall hear what happened after that.—
