THE ELECTION does not appear to have disturbed the professional
bondsmen in their privileges. I
GOVERNOR GOODRICH might be received more graciously in Bol
shevist Russia if he would surround himself, with that "gold-braided stafT
of heroes’’ that Governor-Elect McCray has discarded.
In Russia
The saddest spectacle arising out of the war is Rursia. Insufferable
as is the grief from loss of life, desperate as is the poverty of property,
nothing compares with the loss of the morale of a great nation. The ex
ploitation by the Bolshevist, the coming of winter, the failure of food
supplies and the Increase of epidemics completes a picture of misery never
heretofore painted. t
It is not a good thing for the community to get too good nor indeed too
bad. This is what was attempted by the dreamers whose corfsciences
permitted Russia to desert her allies. The old order has been changed
through decrees issued by ruthless hands, the confiscation of lands and
goods is complete and now desolation reigns. And worse than that, the
intellect of Russia is benumbed, her good citizens are demoralized and for
a time right seems helpless. *
All this is because some got too bad for the community, when they
probably thought they were too good and insisted that the community
reform itself to fit their idea of things. And their notion of things was,
as is thoroughly demonstrated, incorrect. It now appears that they ex
alted those things which should not have been raised up and tore down
those which should have been exalted.
Those nationally in charge recognized the wealth of the nation a6 an
end, instead of a means; they distributed it, taking from those who had
acquired it and giving to those who did not possess. Thus they placed
wealth or material means above effort and character and instead of recog
nizing it only as a means or an expression of something behind it, they
fell down before the golden calf and worshiped it
It Is a true saVing, and a bitter pill, that if one person possesses some
thing and another doe3 not, there is a reason for each being in that condi
tion. All the legislation, revolution and force in the world will not upturn
the situation so it will continue indefinitely contrary to a known principle
which controls the lives of all men.
That which governs life is not the wealth, goods nor lands; it is the
idea back of them. All the money in the banks could not transact busi
ness one day without credit back of the transactions. Every nation re
quires a morale, a religious or civic standard, a constitution whereby con
duct is regulated in time of repose and contemplation and is followed
in time of stress.
When the Bolshevists came into power, after discarding the old order
of things—and this order had its serious faults, too; Instead of then adopt
ing some ideal for the community, they disregarded the other man’s rights,
imposed their will on the state, took the property as though it and not the
idea back of it were the end of existence. They are now reaping the des
perate reward.
After a generation of suffering the wealth of Russia will again be col
lected in the hands of individuals Instead of being swept broadcast, but
until the nation recognizes the efforts and principles back of the wealth,
chaos will reign. Social and material equality is correct, but all must
recognize the fundamental Ideas that govern these; a few cannot dictate
a set of rules for thfem.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, equal opportunity and equal
rights must be seen and exist in the national conscience before they can
materialize and function in the flesh. The idea is above the material. The
principle of conduct Is greater than the distribution of wealth.
McCray and the Open Door
Warren T. McCray’s decision to take the public into his confidence
after he assumes office as Governor of Indiana is commendable. It is a
practice that, continued in the proper spirit, will bring the Governor in
close touch with the great mass of Hooslers and in return will give them a
feeling that their interests, after ail, are paramount in the mind of the
executive.
Too many times administrations function behind closed doors and "the
public be damned” policy is adhered to, much to the detriment of a coop
erative spirit between the Governor and the governed.
Mr. McCray announces he intends to adopt an “open door" policy for
the press, the great connecting element between his office and the
people. The recognition by the Governor-Elect that newspapers do not
represent their own interests, but the interests of their readers. Is an indi
cation of progressiveness.
Many times executives have ushered in their regimes with similar
declarations of confidence in the public, but too many times a splendid
start in this direction has been discarded by politicians who were seeking
to build up secret fences for the next campaign.
The people of Indiana will watch with interest the operation of Mr.
McCray's theory and with a hope that he will be strong enough to throw
off the machinations of partisan advocates who are bound to oppose his
proposal.
The Kaiser
It looks as though the former Kaiser of Germany never will be tried,
as was contemplated immediately after war, since the government of Hol
land refuses to give him up, and there could really be no trial according
to our Anglo-Saxon ideas without his presence, nor can the allies go Into
Holland and try him there.
To the average American this state of affairs brought about by Hol
land is inexcusable. Why the German Kaiser should find an asylum in that
country is inconceivable. ,
The millions of widows, the millions of orphans appeal more strongly
to the sense of the American than does the sacred person of the man who
deliberately caused' the death of over nine million men in this world war.
The glamour of nobility has no charms to those who consider what a power
for good the German Kaiser could have been and what a miserable termi
nation of his ability is now demonstrated.
All the traditions of Europe, all the heredity-of title, and all the teach
ings of generations led up to a culmination such as the war disclosed. It
was foolish, erroneous, based on the wrong premises and could not eter
nally last. Only those things endure which are founded on the right prin
ciples, and it seems that Holland, for some reason or other, is the last
nation to recognize this.
The trial and punishment of the Kaiser of Germany matters hut little
to the world Better, however, that he had died in his glory than that he
lives to be hated by ali men and to leave in their minds only phantoms of
starvation and riot and bloodshed.
Progress
The sinking of one of the Government-made concrete ships recently
brings to prominence the fact that we are a manufacjuring nation in more
ways than one.
The wooden ship is almost a thing of the past. The fabricated iron
one is still in vogue, but the manufactured concrete boat is perhaps the
latest perfection ‘and it utilizes materials which have passed through
many hands before going into the finished product.
The American nation, rich in raw materials, has passed from its crude
state of great abundance, into that position where it makes what it wants
and utilizes what It has to the best advantage. This is true of so many
things that it scarcely is noted.
The Western cattle are not kept as they were by the once picturesque
cowboy. The forests no longer supply any appreciable fuel and indeed
the central heating plants exist in many places. Tallow candles are sup
plemented by the reclaimed electricity from a central plant. Remade
products, byproducts and even synthetic products are common enough.
The comfort of man is increased by each new Invention; life Is pro
longed and happiness should be assured.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
CHAPTER XCVII (Continued). .
"Won't anyone understand ?” Phoebe’s
voice broke end rasped. "You’re all
busy—and older than I—and you know
where you’re going—what you’re going
to do with your lives. I can’t stand this
drifting around aimlessly and having to
take orders and always being the young
est—and not being vital to anyone.” •
So that explained Neal and his hold
over Phoebe. The child's loneliness had
driven her to accept bis love. She need
ed him, rather than cared for him. In
that moment I decided Virginia had been
wise to send hta ring back to my brother
Neal.
“I think, dear —that you’ve made out
the case against your taking on canteen
work very well,” said Virginia. "It
needs responsible women—not girls look
ing for—larks and excitement."
"You’ll never let me do a thing I
want—l'll show you—l’ll ehow you—l
won’t stand this!” cried Phoebe passion
ately.
Virginia took this very calmly, too—
■he seemed entrenched In a passive in
difference from which nothing could stir
her.
*T’ll let you do one thing you’ve been
saying you wanted to—and that’s run
along to your own room, dear,” she said
smoothly.
Phoebe's little heart-shaped face crim
soned and flashed.
“So you send me to bed like a baby.
You humiliate me before every one. You
welt, Virginia Dalton—you wait I”
Then, with the curtest of goodnlghts.
she fled from the room.
PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Corv.
Well, after Puss left Mr. Ulysses safe
at home with Mrs. Ulysses, he traveled
on by himself and after a while he came
to a high rock on. which crouched a huge
monster, with the body of a lion and the
head of a woman. But little Puss Junior
didn’t know it was the Sphinx, who for
years and years stopped every traveler
who went by and asked him a riddle.
And If he couldn't answer It she would
throw him over the rock.
Now as soon as she saw little Puss
Junior drawing near abe said to herse'f,
“I won't ask him the same hard riddle
I've asked every traveler," so she
scratched her ear with her big furry foot
and thought and thought. And Just as
Puss reached her the found the rlddlo
she wanted to ask.
“Hello, there, little Puss,” she cried.
“Tell me the answer to this: What
It goes on four wheels In the morning,
two at noon and three In the evening?”
“Oh, dear me,” said little Puss to him
self. and be scratched his ear and looked
at the great big Sphinx. And didn't aho
look like a big Immense cat until you
saw her face.
“Hurry up," ahe cried. “Thu can have
only three minutes to gness." So Puss
thought and thought and by and by he
guessed. And before he answers. I'll
give you three minutes to guess, so please
don’t" read any further till you look at
the clock and try. And now that the
time Is up. I'll tell you what Puss said.
“I think I have the right answer. Mrs.
Sphinx," said little Puss. “It’s baby
carriage In the morning, bicycle at noon,
and an Invalid chair In the evening “
And when that Lion Lady heard that
she almost'fell off her rock, she was so
surprised.
“Right you are. little cat," the crl'd.
“You are the first one who has ever
guessed my riddle,” and then she lashed
her tall, she was so mortified and angry.
“I never thought a little Pussy Cat could
answer that riddle.” And then ahe be
gan to sing:

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1920.
Jim turned with a word of apology.
“I can’t tbluk what has taken posses
sion of the child. She doesn’t act like
herself. I apologize to Virginia for the
way her dinner has been turned Into a
debating society.” ,
I winced. Was that for Phoebe or me?
Sheldon, silent so long, had crossed to
Virginia’s side. Now he was leaning over
her with every ehow of devotion, and,
strangely enough, Virginia didn’t seem
to resent it.
But it was Anthony Norreys who saved
the day .
“The child la lonesome. Somehow, we
hardly see her, Mr*. Dalton, when you’re
around. Os course, she can’t canteen,
because they aren’t taking on green
hands. But maybe you'd let her help mo
n bit. I’m thinking of sending Doris
West to our Boston office.’’
“Oh, don't deprive me of little Miss
West!" protested Jim. “I’d never get on
with my sister as assistant. I’d tyran
nize over her shamelessly. I’m —used to
Miss West.”
“Miss West—that’s the pretty Oriental
little creature out at your place, Isn't
It?” I asked thoughtlessly.
But as Jim and Terry turned quickly
to study me a memory came back to as
sail me —Jim's words the day 1 told him
I was on for the dinner hour at the
canteen —“In case I do console myself
by taking a beautiful lady out to din
ner"—
Was Jim interested In his secretary,
and was Mr. Norreys. In friendship for
me, going to put temptation out of my
husband's way?
(To be continued.)
"For years and years I’ve asked each
man
Who traveled by my throne.
And ea<b has failed, while you, dear
Puss,
Have guessed It all alone.
So you may go upon your way.
But tell no one. 1 pray.
For If you do the day you’ll rue
You gave the .Sphinx away.
And if you 11 wait until the next story
I'll tell you more about little Puss Junior,
that is If you'll promise not to telephone
the Sphinx and tell her what I’ve Just
told you.—Copyright, li.*o.
