IN OTHER WORDS, the big stick is likely to hit a “bloc.”
A LOT of professional fine stayers apparently have been enlisted in
the army of the unemployed.
V; NO ONE should be very much surprised over the demands of the
miners that their wages be not cut.
THERE ARE plenty of Americans who are not any more favorably im
pressed with Congress than was that English visitor!
THE PROPRIETY of assessing judges for campaign money seems to
resolve itself into whether the assessment was SSOO or $100!
THAT ROBBER who refuses any except the street car company's
money doubtless feels that it is not a public offense to rob the street car
company! j
IS the council to be understood as meaning tliaf the city will regulate
the jitneys if the car company' will come through with $500,000 and various
other things?
IN KANSAS CITY the administration does construction work in order
to give employment to its citizens and in Indianapolis they are merely
employed as janitors and such. /
IF the disarmament conference is to be closed as Senator Underwood
suggests there will be little reason to hold a conference, for it would not
have the confidence of the people.
PRESIDENT HARDING is reported to hold that the resumption of
business is.the best way to solve the unemploym at problem. This is not
an original idea. Neither is that fact that business can be resumed as soon
as taxes are reduced.
“IT IS NOT only unnecessary but inadvisable to contribute to any
political funds,” writes Mr. Taggart to the police. But Mr. Taggart fails
to inform them how he is going to make this statement hold good when
the police department passes into ’the control of the next administration!
Another Delusion
The efforts of a part of the city administration to force the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company to live up to the provisions of the franchise which
the company recently surrendered are doomed to failure, whether the city
regulates jitney busses or not
The franchise provided that the company should act as a sort of col
lecting agency for the cfity, taking patrons enough money to pay
$30,000 a year into the park board funds and sufficient more to meet the
cost of street paving between its tracks.
This arrangement was a relic of doubtful value and long standing. It
originated in the days before public utilities were subjected to rate regula
tion and the theory adopted that public utilities were entitled to such rates
as would provide them with a reasonable rate of return on the investment
over the sums necessary to pay operating expenses.
When the street car company elected to surrender its franchise and
operate under an indefinite permit from the public service commission it
went out of the side business of acting as a collector for the city.
A part of the city administration still adheres to the belief that the
company can be compelled to collect from its patrons money for th“ city
to use in parks and street building and this theory is now causing it to at
tempt to promulgate another contract by the terms of which the street car
company would again become a collecting agent ard in return for its agree
ment. to resume collections for the city, the municipality would protect it
from jitney competition.
The only obstacle in the way of consummation of this deal is that the
obligation which it is sought to impose on the company is not legal and
consequently not binding.
The company's only method of collet, ting park funds and street improve
ment funds is to add to tb9 fares the-amount necessary to produce these
funds. The fares are under the regulation of the public service commission,
which is legally bound to fix them at a rate which, will pay operating ex
penses and provide only a reasonable return on the company’s investment.
There is not a particle of authority in the public utility law for the inereas
ing of fares to make it possible for the company to collect park funds or
street building funds for the use of the city.
Consummation of the program now being urged by the city will result
in the regulation of jitneys but it will not compel the street car company to
pave between tracks or help support the parks.
In other words, the street car company will get what it wants and the
etty will get, only an agreement to do something which is Impossible of
fulfillment. "" \

Defending Law Violations
Gustave Schmidt’s innocent little ordinance designed to declare a pub
lic nuisance places maintained for the purpose of conducting experimental
surgical operations on dumb animals, which is contrary to the laws of the
State of Indiana, appears to have started something.
We are blandly informed by no less a learned agency than our es
teemed morning contemporary that th* purpose.of this ordinance is to pro*
hibit vivisection in the medical schools; that animals subjected to vivi
section “receive the best of treatment and food before and after the opera
tion, and before being placed under the knife are given an anesthetic”;
and what is more illuminating, “it is only in the rarest cases thut the'
nature of the physiological reaction sought precludes the use of the anes
thetic.”
Here, tber., we have the admission from a friendly source that the vivi
6ectionists want to continue their practices in Indiana regardless of the
prohibitions of the State law; that they do perform operations on dumb
animals without anesthetics and that an ordinance which is designed merely
to declare that place a nuisance which is maintained for a purpose forbid
den by the law is a measure that will compel law enforcement.
On the benefits to humanity of vivisection there is much difference of
opinion, even dmong the viviseetionists themselves. So much so, in fact,
that opponents of the practice have succeeded in many States, among them
Indiana, in obtaining the passage of laws prohibiting it. The only defense
that has ever been offered for the practice is that it has proved a boon
to the medical profession. In that connection, the local proponent of the
practice is challenged to produce a single instance in which any scientific
benefit has ever accrued from an experiment in animal surgery conducted
in Indiana.
It is true, as has been suggested, that the city council should not act
on the proposed ordinance without due consideration.
And that due consideration must include the fact that opponents of
the ordinance wish it defeated because they see in it a weapon that will
prevent them from violating the State law.
Bipartisan Troubles
The troubles of the Service Voters’ League in maintaining a bi-partlsan
organization in the face of party opposition naturally are no surprise to the
politicians of Indianapolis.
Such efforts have often been made, but no one has any memory of their
success. " V
The league was formulate<t;originally for the support, of ex-service men
in both parties. It functioned well in the primaries but in the natural
course or events it ran against ftie-enag created by tlje fact that men who
were not in the service will sSjiuetimes be nominated to oppose men who
were in the service. Otherwise the business of political office holding
would soon be an ex-service nren'-s piouopoly.
Whether its members, and especially its candidates, are to repudiate
their party affiliations because of their, league membership appeal's to be
the question on which there is a division at present.
It is obvious that the man who expects to succeed in partisan politics
will not forsake his party or repudiate his party associates at the behe3t of
this or any other league. ■* - 1 •
SHIRLEY MASON CONFESSES LOVE
To a Man While He Is Rescuing Her
Not often does a girl confess her love
fer a man wWle that man Is bnsily en
gaged saving her from a watery grave,
hut that Is exactly what happens In
“Ever Since Eve,” a romantic drama
which Is at the Isis today and for the
rest of the week with Shirley Xlason
as the star. The picture Is an adaption
of Joseph Ernest I’eat’s tale “Concerning
Chiehine ”
The love scene mentioned above occurs
when the hero tosses the heroine from a
burning motor boat and leaps after her.
An interesting point Is that the personal
romance finds Its first visible expression
ill this scene.
Miss Mason is cast as Celestlne Lefarge,
a petite French girl, an orphan, who
through an odd chance became the
adopted daughter cf Cordon Carteret on
American artist, and whom she has never
seen.
On reaching young womanhood Ceies
tlne comes to this country to make her
home with the artist. An amazing com
plication follows in which mistaken
identity causes nil sorts of misunder
standing, but every thing Is cleared up
satisfactorily in the end with/ the little
French girl winning as a husband, ttie
loan she had hertofore looked upon as
an adopted father.

A fine tenor voice and a warm Irish

appearing at Keith's this week has both.
He can sing as few men can. He is
described as “America’s Most Natural

without effort and affectation. Fie just

“1 can not agree, with that theory,"

conclusion, in my mind, of alimony

That is a side of this vital problem

In awarding the custody of children
Judge Carter said. "I award a m nor child

has the means to support the child or by
the f i tliev's aid. unless by same clear evi

In one cn-'> recently heard by Judge
Carter, a dlvor-ed mother was asking for
the custody of her two children whom she
had not seen F r about ton years and
liini not even remembered them nt Christ
mas titfws. She fought to obtain the cos
tody from the second wife of her first
husband. The second wife at that time
was Indicted for the murder of the father
of the two children by the divorced wife.
11l this case, the evidence showed that
the step mother, although under Indict
ment for murder had been a "real
mother" to the two children and had
loved them with a passion ns fine as if
she were their own mother.
The court In this case refused to grant
the care of the children to either woman,
but gave the children to relatives of the
second wife.

’could lie avoided if a longer period of

court has been in vacation for - two
months in the summer, that when court

vorce cusps dismissed than at any other

gave couples a chance to get together

and then at the end of / that period if

Such n'system might aid somewhat in

gan from palatial hotel to cheap board

In marked contrast, both as to detail
and attitude toward life, is the unique
experience of three American young men
wiio returned a few days ago from a
three months' inexpensive trip to Europe.
They were among the two million disap
pointed soldiers of 1917 I.S who did not
get to France, which circumstance left
them with yearnings to know the Old
World.
"I simply had to get over there and

A. U. F. fought.” said Louis ,1. Servais.

Sergt. Donald Goodrich of Brooklyn, who

“We saved up enough to go and went ;
on tiie plan of making what we had go
as far as possible on our first trip
abroad." continued Lieutenant Servais.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
" By David Cory
Well, Puss carefully put the Flower of
Youth, which the old man gave him In
the last story, in the crystal vase, and
then the little Bluebird began to sing:
“Take the -flower, little Sir Cat—
It is far more precious than gold—
And give it at once to your father dear.
Who then wdll never grew old.”
So Puss Junior mounted bis Good
Gray Horse and took leave of the old
man. “You must he careful not to spill
the Flower of Youth from the crystal
vase, nor the Water of Truth.” said the
Bluebird, “for if you do they will lose
their magic.”
“I will take care,” answered Puss
bravely, and he rode away, and by and
by it grew dark, so he climbed off his
Good Gray Horse and sat down beside
a big stone, and while he got his supper
r*ady the Good Gray Horse r.ihbed the
grass and rested after his long journey.
And by and by the moon came out
and the night wind sang such a sleepv
lullaby that Puss went fast asleep. I
think the song the Night Breeze sang
was something like this:
“By low and tinkling bell. N
Fairy horns within the dell;
O ver the rocking, murmuring sea
Comes a pretty dream for me.”
“See. the kitten with the red top
boots, cried a little elf who happened
to pass by where Puss Junior

FLEAS MADE ITALT

'Tn every country but Italy, we traveled
third class on the trains but in Italy, w#
had to buy second class seat* because of
the fleas.” said Mr. Serais, adding: “I
should say that what stands out In my
mind is the poverty (in Italy, the indus
trial revival in Germany and the depres
sion in England, Scotland and Belgium
and the eager looking of France to Amer
ica for more tourists, buyers and diplo

trip tlie best investment 1 have ever made
for I am home, convinced for all time
that there is no place like America.”
Moral: Persons who adapt themselve*
to circumstances usually arrive at the'*
goals.
Mechanism Enables
Blind to Read ‘by Ear’
LONDON. Sept. 2;’.—Blind persons will
now be enabled to read their favorite
daily newspapers along with the other
members of the family, according to Ar
chibald Bary, emeritus professor of en

Reading by the blind has been accom

senting the various letters as these were
passed over by the Instrument In travers
