“THEM MULES - ’ promise to be the biggest stumbling block in the
Jewett administration.
TOM MARSHALL says he closed his campaign last Monday. We
thought it ended on a certain day last July.
JUDGE ANDERSON is likely to make Mitchell Palmer’s administra

MR. McCRAY has only thirty-eight appointments, to hand out to
thousands of deserving Republicans, but that is only one of the Joys of
being Governor!
THE COAL COMMISSION appears to be demonstrating that it is one
thing to issue desirable orders and an entirely different thing to get the
coal to the ultimate consumers.
SENATOR WATSON says he trembles for his party more in its suc

Will Hays manage the administration?

THE CITY and the street car company have agreed that neither

weeks we might get some improvement in street car service.
For Democratic Reflection
Os particular interest to the Democrats of Indiana Is a comparison of
the election results in the three counties containing the three largest
Democratic papers of the State.
The ratio of the Harding plurality in Allen County to the plurality in
1916 was fourteen to one.
In Vanderburg County it was eighty-eight to one. ,
In Marion County it was three to one.
Allen County, where Edward Hoffman, secretary of the national Demo
cratic committee, lives and operates the Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, some
times referred to as the only regular Democratic paper in Indiana, gave
Harding a plurality over Cox of 10,325 against the Hughes plurality of
699 over Wilson.
The Journal-Gazette made the greater part of its campaign on the
National issues.
Vanderburg County, the home of Benjamin Bosse, State chairman,
who controls the Evansville Courier, gave Harding a plurality over Cox
of 5.453. Mr. Wilson carried this county over Hughes by sixty-two votes.
The Courier confined its campaign almost exclusively to National af
fairs and congratulated itself on its failure to take an interest in the
State issues.
In Marlon County the Times devoted its campaign almost exclusively
to the State and county Issues, and the county was practically the only
one In which the Democrats paid any attention to State affairs.
Marion County gave Harding a plurality of 18,297 over Cox. Hughes
obtained a plurality of 5,656 over Wilson in 1916 and in the 1918 election
Marion County went Republican by 9,430 plurality.
A little analysis discloses that the Republican landslide in Indiana
struck considerable of a snag in Marion County.
The Republican plurality in Allen County was approximately fourteen
times what It was in the last presidential campaign.
The Republican plurality in Vanderburg County was approximately
eighty-eight times the difference between the votes of the last presidential
election. x
The Republican plurality in Marion County was only a little more
than three times the plurality of ISI6.
Os course, the Increased electorate due to the enfranchisement of
women increased the size of all the pluralities, but no one will claim that
It should have added more than an equal number to the pluralities of 1916.
It is very evident that the Democrats of Marion County made a
much better showing in the face of the landslide than did the Democrats
of either Allen 6r Vanderburg Counties, even though the leaders of the
Democratic organization make their homes in these counties.
The Democrats were assisted in this achievement by the fact that
Marlon County is the home of Dr. McCulloch and Mr. Taggart, but both
Allen and Vanderburg County Democrats would be expected to profit by
the residence of an organization leader.
- The better showing made by Marlon County Democrats Is worthy of
notice in the councils of the Democratic party. As compared with the vote
in 1918, it discloses that except for the increases brought about by the
women’s vote, the Republicans did not increase their plurality at all, even
in the face of the Republican landslide.
Marion County enumerated 9,271 negro voters in 1919. With the
granting of suffrage and the influx of negroes following demobilization,
the negro vote in Marion County was nearly doubled!
It Is significant that the plurality of the Republicans in Marlon County
is equivalent only to the total of the negro vote in Indianapolis.
Apparently the male and female white voters were about equally
divided In the campaign of 1920 and the Republican plurality was due
almost wholly to the Republican control of the negroes who now hold and
will continue to hold the balance of power In the county.
It is also significant that the only apparent dissatisfaction in Indiana
with the State and county administrations was expressed in Marion County
where practically the only campaign against the Republicans on State and
local issues was made.
The Times declared, following the Maine election, that the Democrats
had a bftter chance of carrying Indiana on the State issues than on the
National issue of the League of Nations.
The assertion was not acceptable to the Democratic organization and
the theory was not put to the test through,any other agency than the Times.
The results elsewhere in Indiana compared with the results in Marion
County clearly demonstrate the soundness of the assertion.
On Shoes
Shoes may be spoken of in polite society; stockings are mentiouable
but no more. The shoe is such, a wonderful institution that the shoe
maker when he produces a genuine article, is worthy of great respect
His craft is ancient and honorable and such is human nature that no
person can retain his self-respect with a pair of poor, leaky or -worn out
shoes under him. Hence the cobbler’s importance to a community.
From childhood on is the individual conscious of his feet.
The joys of the red top boots with brass toes; the mortification of
the muddy and ungraceful feet of boyhood, the completeness of satisfac
tion arising out of the first pair of patent leather shoes and the comfort
of a broad pair of number nines which does not hurt register the path of
life of most men.
It is probable that the primitive man went barefooted. Shall It be
said then that It follows that the person with the greatest number of
shoes is the most civilized? It can be ventured that shoes are like bread;
the first pair and the first loaf we must have, the tenth is a luxury, the
second depends upon the person as to w'hether it is luxury or necessity.
In variety of form, shape and make, shoes perhaps lead the entire out
fit of men’s furnishings. Toes may be pointed, round or square and all
shapes between; there are low shoes, high shoes, wooden shoes, boots,
lace, button and congress, canvas, kid and calf, heavy, light, tan, russet and
black. ,
And the ladies’ shoes, how many and how varied! The high heel, the
military heel, the no-heel at all; the low shoe, the high shoe that necessi
tates short skirts and every other kind, all go to make up life in its
complexity.
Even the purchaser sometimes suspects that the innocent shoe is
used as a medium by which to profiteer when he pays the bill and sees
that which only yesterday cost just a trifle in comparison. Yesterday wns
before the war, however.
If the shoe indicates character, and it surely does, welcome be the
day when the necessity of wearing a patched and several times halfsoled
indicator shall pass and when good shoes tor every one shall be as plentiful
as are army discarded shoes now.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
*4 New Serial of Young Married Life ‘
CHAPTER XCIV.
When I reached home from the visit
to our Canteen Lieutenant, the doorman
greeted me with an enormous bat-box
like affair. On its cover was the name
of one of the smartest florists. Still
aflame with the good will enkindled by
doing Carlotta Sturges a good turn.
I bore the box up to my litte home.
Suppose it were from Jim. This time
I'd revel in hfs extravagance. It would
burn down the barrier of coldness I had
set up between us.
It's against ray principles to cut string,
but it was beyond my power to stop
to untie these knots. So I fairly hurled
open the box. i
There in a deep bows of blue lustre
was a mass of exquisite lilies of the val
ley, and in the midst of their white cool
ness were three crimson roses. Under
them a flat parcel. Before I opened that,
I ran to fill the blue bowl with water.
Then I set it on the black and gold
cover flung across one end of the refec
tory table. f
Atlp-toe with excitement, I ran lo open
the parcel. A white envelope fell out.
I hardly knew which to examine first.
But after a second I decided on the pack
age. What eould Jim be sending me’
I unfastened the heavy white paper—
nnd there lay the blue robe. Tom Mason
had dared to send it back.
Now all my l!fa when I got angry I
had turned cold. Always I had stiffened
to a sort of icy stillness—sarcastic and

PUSS IN HOOTS JR.
By David Cory.—
King of the stormy sen am t.
And I rule the storina that sweep tbe sky.
And I stir up the waves that beat on the
shore —
Oh, I'm king of the sea when the billows
roar.
This is the song that Neptune sang
Just "as I was finishing the story be
fore this, and then the mau with the
bright star on his head, who you re
member was wading through the water,
came up to the rock where little Fuss
Junior was sitting, and said:
"There goes my father, Mr. Neptune,
In bis chariot," aud then the man with
the star on his head sat down and be
gan to talk.
"My name Is Orion, and when It grows
darker, I shall climb up Into the
heavens to give light to the weary sailor
op the great sea,” and then he left, .tnd
pretty soon Puss saw him shining down
from the sky above. And after that Puss
fell asleep and dreamed that a lovely
lady, dressed In a pink cloud, came
walking over the #and. By her aide
wii an old grasshopper. And as she
drew nearer she sighed, aud the a®a
grass waved, as If a little breeze had
stirred it. and then her tears began to
fall, and the tall sea grass was cov
ered with dew drops from her sad eyes.
And then Puss awoke and found it was
morning, but be didn't know that the
lady of his dream was Dawn.
And dreams always come Just as we
are waking, so this must have been true,
for morning was Just breaking a\ the
little dream awoke Puss Junior as he
slept by the big blue murmuring ocean.
And es Puss sat up and rubbed bis
eyes a ship came toward the shore, and
presently It landed and a great warrior
came up to him and said: "I am Ulysses
on my way home from Troy,” and he
esked Puss what time It was. for he had
forgotten to >wind his watch ths night
before. And pretty soon he said he must
be going. v
"Won't you take me with you?" said
little Puss Junior.
“Come along.” said Mr. Ulysses. So
Puss got aboard the ship and then the
sail wos hoisted, and away they went
until they reached' the country of the
lotus eater*. You see they had to stop
here to get some fresh water; but the
men whom Mr. Ulysses sent on shore
never would hove returned to the boat If
little Pubs Junior hadn't been with them,
for they ate some of the lotus plant, and
as soon as they did they forgot all about
home, nnd If little P ’ss hadn’t begged" 1
them again nnd again to return to the
ship they would have remained In the
lotus country forever.
Well, after that Puss and Mr. TTysses
again set sail, and after a while and
many a mile, they came to an island
where lived a race of giants, each one
of whom had only one eye, right In the
middle of his forehead; and they were
different from the little girl who had a
little curl hanging right down on her
forehead—when she was good, she was
very, very, very good, and when she w’ns
bad, she was horrid—for these giants
were never good. Oh, my, no! They
were bad all the time, and sometimes
worse.
So, Mr. Ulysses took a Jar of wine for
a present and, with Puss and a number
of sailors, went ashore, nnd pretty soon
they catne to a great enve. And next
time I’ll tell you about Mr. Poly Phemtis,
who lived there.—Copyright, 1920.

most aggravating I’ve been told —to all
violently angry persons who take my
repression for calmness.
But now I became white hot. I was
dizzy with rage—and sick with hate—
burning, flaming hate. I seized that vase
of blue lustre from the table and hurled
it to the stone fireplace. It dashed to
pieces and In there-—a trickling oozing
stream of water and broken pottery, lay
pallor stricken white lilies anil angry
red roses.
For a moment I stared at them, heav
ing. raging, ready to go nnd wreak more
vengeance on them. The next instant I
became cold with bitter shame. Those
little flowers! It was as If I’d struck
baby hands.
■ Penitently, I crossed to the fireplace
and picked the bruised flowers one at
a time from the ruin around them. I
found a box, filled It with damp tissue
paper and packed the flowers safely in It.
Then I fetched, broom and dustpan and
cleaned the hearth my temper had de
filed.
Presently T was hatted and coated
agaiu and on my way to a tangle of dark
nnd twisted streets In the poor district.
There was a church there—a little Mts
slotFChureh.
I was at peace when 1 returned home.
Very calmly I took the blue robe, folded
it and laid It back in the chest. Aa calm
ly I opened Tom Mason's note, and read
his little message.—Copyright, 11*20.i

(“Suwanee River") I* now recognized
and classed as an American folk tong.
PORTO RICO CITIZENSHIP.
Q Are natives of Porto Kleo citizens
of 'll* United States? D. C. H.
A. Citizenship was bestowed upon
“citizens of Porto Rb’o and certain na
tives permanently residing In said

’ Man Who Started
Him to Jail Cell
WHITESBURO, Ky., Nov.
Probably the unusual outcome
of ’Tuesday's election in Kentucky
was the victory of Fes* Whitaker,
Jailor of Whitesburg. over Stephen'
Combs Jr., for county Judge, Whit
aker having been aentenced to his
own Jail for six months by Judge
Comba on the charge of attacking
county officers. Including the sheriff.
After being placed In the Jail, of
which he was the legal keeper. Whit
aker escaped, was recaptured and
again sentenced for jail breaking.
Following one of the most exciting
campaigns known to the mountains of
Kentucky, Whitaker, though l n Jail,
won over Judgq.Combs by more than
a thousand majority.
Governor Morrow has three times

the combination of the two. and •<* on to
the tenement disttlet The number of
families per area in these various dis
tricts would be fixed and changed only
upon the vote of the majority property
owners In that district. ’A family would
consist of any number of lndirlduals
living and cooking together on the prem
ises as a single housekeeping unit ’ In
thU way congestion would be limited
and w# would have healthier conditions
In our city.
"The premature depreciation of houses
because of encroachments and unexpected
change in the use of the land would be
eliminated. Land values would not fluc
tuate as now and more substantial and
permanent homes would be built. Mr.
Herbert Swan, one of the foremost con
sultant# on zoning, has said, 'Keeping
all kind* of Industry out of our resi
dence district* la expected to go a long
way In Improving aoclsl conditions, for
zoning offer*, at one stroke, without any
expense or any Increase of renis, a
method of protecting such housing stand
ards a* we have achieved against steady
deterioration. It does more than that;
in defining the direction and character
of city growth, it layi the baais for afi
ever-lncreas.og Improvement In the so
cial and economic condltlona affecting
the whole community.’
Pt/VXH rOH CITY’S
HI SINESS SECTION.
”We would also bar* business dis
tricts which could be subdivided Into
wholesale, retail or other districts as w#
so desired. By the limitation of tb*
. heights of buildings In these various
districts and the percentage of area oc
cupied above the first Story, the con
gostlou of the adjacent streets Is soma

assured for those who mu at spend many
I &■• *ach day In these buildings
j ‘ And then there are the factory dis
tricts which need protection aa well as
the residence districts. These districts
would be located along our Balt railroad
and railroad linea and would have spe
cial streets and water, gsa and electric
mains. flr protection, etc., to adequately
serve them. As these factory sites be
come scarce, we may have to’provlde an
onter belt line t<t care fpr our Industries.
Again, Swan says: ’The relative com'
petltive strength of a city in the domestic
and foreign markets of the world la fre
quently conditioned to quite as great
an extent by the arrangement of its in
dustries within the city as by the avail
ability of raw materials and the prox
imity of a consuming public.'
VISION OK
CIVIC CENTER.
“We hare before us now the location
of tho War Memorial Building where the
Blind Asylum now stands anil the cre
ation of a civic renter, or so-called plaza,
from the library to the Federal building!
We are no doubt now forming Ideas ln
our mind* as to how this will appear.
Zoning Is necessary to protect this devel
opment. Butler College Is looking for a
site to locate wbere she can grow Into
a large university. Should we not cre
ate an educational center ln or about our
city and tie It Into our dreams for an
Ideal city? The City Hospital and the
Fong Hospital have only a few squares
of dilapidated houses between their site*.
Could we not make, by zoning, a health
center out there and properly connect it
to our city? And the Indianapolis Ath
letic club will soon build a fine new
building tbnt should be properly located
to enhance our city. These are only a
few fragments of our dreams.
“Zoning expresses the Idea of orderli
ness in community development. Just a*
we have a riac# for everything in a well
ordered ho ne, so we should have a place
for everything in a well ordered town.
What would be considered Insanity If
practiced in our homes la excused as au
exercise of individual liberty when prac
ticed In the city at large. Aad yet mis
placed building* are to be condemned
much more than out of place pieces of
furniture In our homes.
RIGHT BIILDINO
IN RIGHT PLACE.
“The whole purpose of zoning Is to
encourage the erection of the right build
ing In the right place. It prot-cta the
man who develops his property along
proper lines against the man who de
vlope his property along improper
lines. Rightly understood, zoning menus
the substitution of an economical, scien
tific. efficient community program of city
growth for wasteful. Inefficient, hap
hazard growth
“The nest step in the realisation of a
homo after dreaming about. It I* sacri
ficing and saving for It. So It Is with
the crystallising of our dreams of our
e!t.vi We must sacrifice onr time and
give our money 1f *i over hope to ap
proach the ideal of otir dream*.
“Time mutt b# spent In getting ac
quainted with our city so that we may
know her needs and can intelligently
make suggestions. If we are called upon
to serve In any capacity In connection
with the welfare of our city, we should
not hesitate to do our share to the best
of our ability.
“The crystallisation of onr dreams for
Indianapolis, onr larger bom*. 1* now
being accomplished through our Cham
ber of Commerce. The board of dlrec
(ora through the urging or the municipal
research committee, has directed Presi
dent Coffin to appoint a committee of
one hundred representative citizens of the
city to constitute a city plaunlng com
mittee for Indianapolis. The personnel
of thl* committee np to the present time
has not been announced.
“The Department Club can materially
help by urging Mr. Coffin to carefully
■elect the personnel of this committee
nnd by suggesting that you should have
representation upon me committee ot
one hundred.
CHICAGO SI.OOAN
FOR FINANCIERING.
“With this planning commute# wo will
bav# a clearing house for our fragmen
tary dream. This committee will start
the survey of present conditions and gen
erally organise the work and make a
cnmpnlgn for funds.
“ 'Money, more money and still more
money,’ la how Mr. Moody of the Chicago
Plan Commission expresses the impor
tance of finances In city planning Kx
tenslve surveys of existing conditions
must be made ns a basis upon which to
develop a plan. A headquarters must by
established and a stafT of experts em
ployed to prepare the plans and gather
datit. Speakers must be had, exhibits
given nnd literature published. As the
development of our city Into our larger
home vitally affects each and every one
of ns, a considerable Amount of money
la necessary to crystallize our desires
Into our city plan, but this must be
done If we are to accept the plan when
finished.
“The third step In development of our
home after the financing had been ac
complished would bo to employ a con
sultant to bring together In tangible
form our various Ideas nnd create order
out of chaos. Ho It Is with the gather
ing together of the Ideas of our civic
welfare. We must employ not Just one
consultant but perhaps a staff to grap-
| pie with the enormous problem of city
| planning. At this stage the necessary
IcglsbiQon should be obtained from the
Stale Legislature, so that an official city
j planning commission could be established
In connection with the <lty government.
This commission would take over all the
work of the committee of 100 except the
propaganda work. The committee of 100
would continue to function as the sales
organization for the official commission.
LEGISLATION
ESSENTIAL.
“After the surveys are made and data
gathered, conferences are held and Ideas
developed. Innumerable studies are made
end discarded nntil finally a general plan
as a basis to cork upon is developed.
There will be the major street plan, the
minor street plan, the zoning plan, the
traffic plan and various other plan*
necessary for the proper guidance of the
city's future growth.
“The last and most Important step In
the realization of our home is the execu
tion of the plans. Before anything can
be accomplished in the execution of the
plan* for Indianapolis, our larger home,
legislation must he obtained so that the
execution of parts of the plan may be
carried forward with ns little trouble
as possible. Today the city authorities
have considerable amount of trouble with
obstinate property owners tn the im
provement of streets. By wise and
equitable laws the expense of such Im
provements would not fall altogether
upon the abutting property owner, but
partly upon the entire city. Many othar
phases of civic improvement also will
have to be handled by legislation. Here
is where the Department Club can do
considerable amount of work by Includ
ing in It* legislative program the*®
necessary bills for city planning and
working for their passage In tha State
Legislature. Thank goodness the women
now have the power to vote.
“Only when the execution of the plans
begins will our dreams for onr larger
home come true. Then we can see the
resirMs of our dreams, followed by sac
rifice and 6*vlng. then by careful and
wise planning, develop Indianapolis, our
larger home, lntp a place where we will
love still more to live and work out our
destinies with pride and satisfaction.”
Goinc? Up Salt River
Down in Kentucky is Salt River, a small, shallow stream whose many
bars and twisting channel make passage both difficult and dangerous.
Y’ears ago, so the story goes, a man living in a town near the river made a
hard campaign for a local officte and was badly defeated. Crushed and
dazed, he wandered to an old boat that had been left on the shore, shoved
it off and went up the river in it. And that was the last seen or heard of
him. Ever since then, whenever a man has been defeated for office people
have sgid, “He is going up Salt River.”
However, the boats that disappear up Salt River occasionally show
up again, after the candidate or party has had a good rest, recovered
strength and regained public favor.
The party brought Into power in the past election, so far as Congress
Is concerned, will be reversed in two years on account of the changeable
sentiment of this country. The county's two years of trials will be blamed ,
on the party in power. As*a matter of fact, the party may have nothing
to do with the situation, the conditions being largely due to the seeds of
trouble sown when we were at war, fighting to save our country’s life with
out considering the cost.
In the past two years, with rich corporations grabbing ofT money, It
was easy for the Government to collect taxes in big blocks. Now prices
are dropping; the big corporations are not making such heavy surplus or
excess profits, and the Government will have to spread the burden over
more people. As it will be necessary to collect as much for 1921 as for
1920, more people will feel the taxe3 and will holler.
