LET’S SEE, who are the members of the board of health todaj ?
THOSE FRENCH ex-cabinet members might now go into the motion

■♦THERE APPEAR to be only about three men in France available to
head a cabinet and they take turns. ,
ARMS PARLEY proves value of discussion —headline. Let us hope
it does not prove the uselessness of it.
EMMA GOLDMAN says the United States is the only country, after all.
It took her a long while to find it out
PERHAPS the new district attorney’s commission was delayed while
the Postoffioe Department was hunting for Martinsville!
SHANK should examine that little book carefully to see that
no names have been added to the preferred list in its absence.
MR. BEVERIDGE was probably greatly surprised when he received
that resolution asking that he become a candidate for the Senate.
THE FRENCH objections to fifty vociferous women secretaries prob
ably should not be attributed wholly to the fact that they were German.
CHARLES A. BOOKWALTER Is probably grateful for that assurance
of Mayor Shank that he will not fire anybody on the city pay roll who
is not for Beveridge.
A WOMAN is walking from Dayton to Washington to obtain a pardon
for her son, who is in a Federal penitentiary. Pardons have been obtained
more easily than that. , *
Mr. Bryson’s Appointment
Unquestionably the people of Indianapolis .111 continue to dispatch
and receive mail under Postmaster Robert H. Eryson as they have for
some time under Postmaster Robert E. Springsteen. As far as the busi
ness of the mails is concerned, it does not matter a part* cl e who is post
master. But from the polit.cal standpoint there is considerable difference.
Mr. Bryson’s landing of the postofflce is a victory for the old organiza
tion machine that controlled Indianapolis prior to the advent of the new
Shank machine that came into power at the last election.
Bryson could never have landed the job except with the consent of
the politicians who controlled the Shank organization. 1 herefore, it
must be acknowledged that his success marks the first step in the benevo
lent assimalation of one organization or the other. There may be some
question, in fact, there is some question, of whether the old News-Jewett
crowd that was served so well by Mr. Bryson is swallowing the Shank
organization, or whether the Shank organization is gradually taking into
camp the remnants of the older group.
But this much is certain: There could be no Postmaster Bryson
save by and with the consent of the followers of Mr. Shank.
And there are a lot of followers of Mr. Shank who recall that the
strength of their organization lay in its refusal to treat with the old
News-Jewett crowd.
To-these the appointment of Mr. Bryson is regrettable, not because
Bryson is the appointee, but because they discern the end of their own
organization that was built on opposition to that which wanted Bryson.
They Got Away With It
Declaring that the Newberry issue has not been set forth in “its
frank ugliness,” the Philadelphia Public Ledger attempts to" make of
Senator Newberry’s defense an indictment of the direct primaries. It
argues that he should logically have defended himself by attacking the
law which it says “forced him to spend more than he or his friends ever
dreamed.” The Ledger says:
“Hypocrisy of the worst kind lies on either side of the way; but the
deepest hypocrisy of all is to be found in the fact that no one dares to set
forth the real cause of the trouble, the direct primary law. For that rea
son. Newberry defended himself with an alibi instead of a counter-indict
ment. Had he leveled his charges against *he defective system which is
debauching our politics from coast to coast at every senatorial and presi
dential election, to mention no others, he would not have got a vote—
Senator Penrose being dead. Instead of an indictment, therefore, we get
a defense; a defense which, if true, as we must believe it is, sets a prece
dent fully as bad as his expulsion by his accomplices would be.”
The major premises of the Ledger argument appears to be Its great
est fault. No one “forced” either Mr. Newberry’ or his friends to spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars to elect him to the Senate.
They saw the opportunity to obtain their desires by the expenditure of
money which they had and were willing to give up yid they spent it.
What’s more, thanks to the exigency of the Grand Old Party, they
“got away with it,” even though the expenditures constitute the greatest
blot on the records of the United States Senate.
Selling Indianapolis Products
This is a time of keen competition in business. The day of the order
taker is past and the day of the salesman has arrived. No business house
that does not go after the business can hope to exist,
j With this Idea in view’ the Chamber of Commerce has worked out an
■ excellent plan of selling Indianapolis products. The idea is a reversal of
■ the business trips that have been made out of Indianapolis periodically
■ under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. Under the new plan
the retail dealers of the State will be brought to Indianapolis to look over
w’hat the wholesale trade has to offer. Their transportation will be paid
and entertainment will be provided. It will be a combination business
trip and vacation for those who come here and the arrangement should
prove attractive.
There is no reason w’hy Indiana retail merchants should go to cities
outside of the State for their goods. Indianapolis offers a wide variety
of products and their excellence is unquestioned. It should not be diffi
cult to sell Indianapolis-made goods to Indiana merchants All that is
needed Is the sort of initiative being displayed by the Chamber of Com
merce.
The Impossible Happens
One of the ironies of the conference of judges Thursday was the
discovery that while the two Madison County judges w’ere attending the
■ meeting, listening to long and idealistic lectures on the treatment of
■criminals, there was in the Madison County jail an insane man who had
incarcerated there for five years and actually forgotten. While
Oblige Pam of Chicago and Judge Collins of Indianapolis were discussing
|Beir probation systems and the improvement of jails and penitentiaries
land the great strides that have been made in making life easier for
■ criminals, this unfortunate man, in jail only because he was suffering
■from a disease of the mind, was probably suffering untold agonies as a
■result of his long imprisonment.
I That such a thing could occur in a civilized community is almost be
lyond belief. It reminds one of the outrages that preceded the French
■ revolution and led to the destruction of the Bastille. Just so In those days
■ did judges and officials of high estate prate about their greatness while
■unfortunates were suffering great injustice and physical agony without
■cause.
N A conference may be of some benefit to judges and other law en
■forcement officials, but it would have been much better for the judges
■to have stayed at home and visited the jails to which they are sending
■prisoners. Perhaps there are other unfortunates who have been for-
Bgotteu In these days of ideal Jail and prisut conditions.
STATE DENIES
ICE FISHERMEN
SHANTIES’ USE
Attorney General of Opinion
LaYV Precludes Right to
Occupy Shelter.
An opinion submitted to George N.
Mannfeld, chief of the fish and game di
vision of the State conservation depart
ment, U. S. Lesk, attorney general, says
persons fishing through the ice in inland
lakes in Indiana can not lawfully occupy
houses or shanties built upon the ice for
the purpose of protection while thus en
gaged.
The opinion was sought by the conser
vation officials with the further request,
“is it lawful for any person to place a
house or shanty on the ice and fish from
it, although no hole might be within
the house?’’
House Bill 112, passed by the Seventy-
First Indiana General Assembly, regu
lating fishing through the ice in inland
Hoosier lakes, in part, reads: “That
fishing through the ice in any of the
lakes of this State, no person shall so
fish through more than two holes in such
ice at one time, or through a hole more
than two and one-half feet in diameter,
or with more than one line to each hole,
or with more than one hook attached to
such line, or within any house, shanty
or structure which will obstruct a full
view of such fishing.”
Attorney General Lesh, in his opinion,
says
“Keeping in mind the purpose of the
enactment, I am of the opinion that a
proper construction thereof would pre
clude the right to occupy any house,
shanty or structure while fishing
through the ice even though the holes
through which the fish are taken are
made without the structure in question.’’
Mr. Mannfeld says his division will
enforce the law in accordance with the
opinion of the attorney general. With
the present cold period reports have
reached the department that in some
parts of northern Indiana persous are
fishing through the ice from within
shanties erected for protection from the
severity of the weather.

contract for several hundred cars of
lubricating oils to go East is reported
There has been considerable activity in
road oil, particularly for early deliver

operuting generally. A second cut In
Pennsylvania crude early this year was
not expected, at least not until after the
first cut was met by the Mid-Continent
field.
There Is an evident shortage of East

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
Rr David Cory ——
As soon as the Dog that YVorried the
Cat had disappeared, no one seemed in
terested In anything. After seeing a dog
fail from the sky and run off as if It ;
wore an every day occurrence was
enough to flabbergast anybody.
•Tack, who had gone into the barn to
look after the horses, was the first to
speak. “What makes you all so quiet?”
he asked. “It is bad enough to have on
the farm a maiden all Forlorn, but if
you all are going to got that way, too,
why. I’m going out of tbe building busi
ness.”
“YVe are not forlorn!” cried Torn
Thumb; “we’re surprised. I’ve seen fall
ing stars, but not falling dogs.”
“Perhaps it was n dogstar.” said
•Tack: and then everybody laughed ex
cept the Maiden all Forlorn,” who stood
close to the fence, looking perfectly mls
• cable.
“Introduce me, won’t you?” said Puss.
“This Is the Malden all Forlorn that
milked the Cow with the Crumpled
Horn.”
But the maiden didn’t smile: instead
she. wiped’a tear from her pretty blue
eyes and gave a long sigh.
And Just then a very badly dressed
person came toward them. He had on
an old straw hat and hia coat was torn
in many places. His trousers were
frayed at the bottom and his shoes were
full of holes,
“This Is the Man ail Tattered an(| Torn.”
That kissed the Maiden all Forlorn.”
cried Jack. The “Maiden all Forlorn"
gave a scream; “Don't let him come near
me, I won’t be kissed, i won’t.”
“Indeed you shall not!” cried Puss
Junior, whipping out his sword and
placing himself in front of her.
“Come a step nearer, you ’thing of
shreds and patches,’ and I’ll run yon
through with my trusty sword.”
“The Man all Tattered and Torn"
stopped short. He didn't like the flash
ing eye and fierce whisker of Puss
Junior.
“She was forlorn before I kissed her ”
he said.
“Mas she?” said Puss Junior. “Well,
you didn’t cure her, did you? I’ll wager
she ? forlorner than ever.’’
Os course I ntn,” sobbed the maiden.
' " ha t right had he to kiss me.”
“What are you doing around here,
any way?” asked little Torn Thumb. “I
think you're a tramp!”
“So do I.” cried Jack. “If you don’t
get out. I’ll put you In the corn field for
a .care-crow.” And this so frightened
the “Man all Tattered and Torn,” that he
jye’e l ° l!!8 beel ® and ran off.—Copyright.

FOREST RANGER
EATS TNT WITH
HIS PANCAKES
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14—Edward B.
Hamilton, a forest ranger, stationed in
the Santa Barbara Reserve, recently had
the unique experience of partaking
heartily of pancakes containing TNT,
without suffering any serious effects.
Hamilton was visiting friends on a
mining claim near Acton, Cal. One of
hts co partners prepared pancakes in
honor of the occasion. After the meal it
was discovered that a spoon used in
mixing the package flour had been taken
from a can of deadly TNT. The spoon
had been thickly coated with the explos
ive.
“I did not experience any ill or un
toward results from the ounce or more of
TNT, mixed with the pancake dough,”
said Hamilton, “but I decided right
away—rather sudden like, too—that I
would be mighty careful In avoiding sud
den knocks and Jars, and for the flrsl
time In my life I made up my mind I
would back away from a fight.
“But now I am ready to meet anyone
if the occasion arises, and it might also
be mentioned that I’m smoking again
after quite a little vacation in that line.”

Salome Too Jazzy ,

CHICAGO, Jan. 14. —For the second

Opera Company “Salome” was barred
today as being “too rough.”
A great protest followed presenta
tion of the opera here under the direc

' tickets and threatened to withdraw
their support if it was presented
again. It was scheduled to be ziv-n
again next Monday, but because of
objections, arrangements were made to
give another opera.

FOREST TRACT
INCREASED BY
ADDED ACRES
State Department Purchases
Land Adjoining Clarke
County Reserve.
Two hundred and forty acres of land
adjoining the Clark County State Forest
Reserve have'been added to the State's
forestal tract, according to announcement
by Richard Lieber, director of the State
conservation department, of which the
forestry division is a part.
One hundred acres were purchased from
J. A. Smith of Indianapolis, at $5 per
acre, and 140 acres obtained from two
banks in Shelbyville for S2O an acre, the
latter having considerable merchantable
timber upon it. The first mentioned tract
Joins the forest reserve on the east, and
tlie other Joins it on tbe south. The ad
dition brings the State reservation up to
3,577 acres.
In both Instances purchases were ne
gotiated by YY’illiam A. Guthrie, chair
man of the conservation commission, and
E. M/ YYilson of Anderson, secretary of
the commission. These men personally
inspected the properties, measured the
timber on each tract and before purchase,
the future value of the land when the
timber matures was considered. Mr.
Lieber says the commission contemplates
adding acreage to the reserve by pur
chasing land in Clark County whenever
the present owners are willing to sell
at reasonable prices.
Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Wilson are both
experienced in the timber business and
familiar with It.liana land values. They
have announced they will not consider
land for forestal purposes which can not
be obtained at low figures. Their idea
is to add, when conditions warrant, such
idle acres as are procurable and set these
to work growing trees in order Indiana
may at some future date again be inde
pendent in providing timber for the
State's own needs.
The State Forest Reserve is the largest
experimental plot of its kind in the
United States devoted to growing hard
woods. On this tract used strictly for
experimental purposes the State deter
mines how certain trees may be grown
most economically, and by a system of
proper spacing plantings, obtains the
most healthy trees in the shortest time.

ASKS REPORT
ON COSTS OF
LAND DEFENSE
. y
Senator McCormick Would
Take Public Into Official
Confidence.
gp-clal to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
YY'ASHINGTON, Jan. 14—Senator Mc-
Cormick plans to force the issue of land
armaments and American assistance in
the rehabilitation of Europe. In a reso
lution. to be Introduced in the Senate
■ next week, he calls upi.n the State De
-1 partment for a comparative statement of
the cost of land armaments in the several
States, the annual deficits, and the in
terest annually due this country on the
loans made during the war.
Stating the American people ought to
jbe informed authoritatively regarding
the “chronic deficits of European govern
ments.” Mr. McCormick said authentic
figures before him showed Italy. I’nu
rnania, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia with
an aggregate population slightly In ex
c.Ls of tbnr -if the United States had more
than 2.(VklOOO men under arms.
He pointed out the cost of the French
army was equal to twice the sum of the
deficit in the ordinary budget and the
retrenchment in civil has
not yet been comparable to that of the
Government of the United States. The
French debt, he said, has increased 50
per cent since the armistice and the
