Murphy has been indicted. He is the leader of Tammany Hall, largest of Democratic ,party organizations. x He is accused of having defrauded the United ’ States government by falsifying his income tax returns. ; This is a serious charge. Until it is removed by acquittal in federal court théfe is no place, small. enough for Boss Charles Murphy in the Democratic party, or any other party. As long as this cloud hangs over Murphy he has no reason to expect other Demo- crats to listen to his counsel in the matter of \ writing the party’s platform, or selecting the party’s candidates: ; It will be a feather in the Democratic conven- tion’s hat if it asks Charley Murphy ‘to remain on the outside until the court decides whether his: place is in or out of the penitentiary. 4 T il At any rate the war made the,world unsafe for a mustache with a rising reflection. : THEY FAILED TO PASS This is for boys and firls who failed to win pro- motions to higher school classes.

Harding, Unit- ed States senator from Ohio, as its candidate for the presidency, the Republican party has done the wisest thing it could have done. Senator Harding is the exemplification of the best. type of Americanism. He comes from New England and Ohio stock and is a fine example of the American who has started at the foot of the ladder and climbed, hand over hand, unaided, to the Hv round. Senator Harding hails from the small town of Marion, Ohio, where his life activities in journal- ism, ownership journalism, for he is the owner of his. newspaper, brought him favorably before the people of his state, with the result that after suc- cessive stages of advancement he was, sent by them to the United States senate. In this body he has borne himself with splendid dignity and in respect of ability has always given a good account of himself. erty In personal appearance Senator Harding is a superb specimen of the American man.) He is tall, six feet and more; has a powerful frame and in feature as well as in frame shows. . rugged strength, great poise. He is a true Ohioan of the best type, gracious in manner, winning and warm in personality, a.man’who makes friends as Mc- Kinley made them, a man who if elected will bring back to the White House the cordial human spirit of McKinley; ras n But apart.from the merits of Senator Harding’ he was the best selection of the’convention for the reason that he should be able to redeem Ohio to the Republican party.. Examined with regard to strategy and the qualifications of the candidate the republican convention: has shown clear think- ing and sound acting. There were many very good men under consideration, but taking into account geographical location as well as the man himself it is:clear that the convention did a fine piece of work in fixing upon Senato¥ Harding for the presidency. ' Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts is a fitting running mate for Senator Harding. ‘He has' come to occupy a big place with right think- ing,-sound living Americans. In their ‘eyes he has taken on something of the character of Abra- ham Lincoln and this makes him an outstanding man in these days ‘of high pressure: living and high speed acting. There is no man in public life with a deeper regard for old fashioned honesty, and for con- ‘scientious performance of public and_ private trust than Governor Coolidge. He.would make a good man at the head ef the ticket; he will make a good man in second place. He is, infact, a good man wherever placed, because he has in him the tight stuff—New York Sun. and Herald. 6 GOVERNORS MAY | TAKE STEPS FOR NEW COAL BODY ization Declares Action , Must be Taken bia ste Sec eta baa Minneapolis, Minn., June 30.—Gov- ernors‘of the Northwest states may be requestéd to goto Washington and appéal to the interstate commerce com- mission’ to help the Northwest avert what coal men féar will be a disastrous fuel famine this winter.

Acting on this , super-confidence, they “billed” and “postered” the state of North Dakota liberally with announcements that the “victors,” Dr. Henrik Shipstead and Captain George Mallon, Nonpartisan candidates in Minnesota for govern- or.and lieutenant governor, respectively, would go over into Macedonia and help out toward aj ; similar result in the sister state. : While. the Nonpartisan league faithful were looking wistfully at the announcements and wait- ing for these Minnesota heroes, attendants at regular Republican meetings in North Dakota were listening with joy to the reading of returns from this state showing how “Jake” Preus and “Louie” Collins, “the little corporal,” had put it all over Shipstead and Mallon and how Townley- ism had been licked to a frazzle. The Minnesota result has given fresh heart and hope’ to the regular republicans in North Dakota and it has sent Nonpartisan league stock down in a regular “Black Friday” slump. Mr. Townley and his fellow pilots of the Non- partisan league are shrewd chaps, but they have not. learned yet to count the chickens after and to have it on paper as 7 to 5. 7 JOHN SOLEN, Hazen, IN.

The act said to’be direci- ly regponsible for the party “was the ,killing of 50 turkeys, accomplished by Louis Springer, 19 years old, son of Anton Springer’at the farm home oj William Erwin. , Members of the Er- win family wér court. testifying in a suit between elder Springer and Er- win when, according to the police, Louis improved his shooting and left the turkeys in a pile before the fagm house door. Springer was called from his home by a mam who said he wanted his ma- chine pulled froma mudhole. Spring- er started out with him but soon found himgglf,.with a sack over his head and being led to an isolated spot. A coat of warm asphalt was applied to his body after all clothing had been removed and the contents of several feather pillows mixed with the asphalt. When the tar and feather party was complete, Springer was told he would be given six months in. which to sell his farm and leave the neighborhood.

Washington, June 30.-A trip to ML. , Vernon recently. convinced me that, af- ter all, there is nothing new under the sun. I discovered “that the fellow who got the patent on the fireless cooker in recent, years must. have copped the idea from George Washington. In the original Washington kitchen, | where the slaves gooked George’s food, is a large opening by the side of the fireplace. One of the’attendants said that was where, they baRed George's bread and barbecued his young pigs. “But where do you put the fire?’ I asked. . “Take red hot coals out of the fire- place, put them in the oven and close the door,” said “the ‘attendant. “That heats, the oven and any food placed in it will cook without further attention.” # WEDDING RING, NOT PENSION Not all the government. employes here are glad congress passed a fed- eral employes’ pensioning bill, to the support of which each employe must contribute part of his or her salary. ‘For instance, take’ the young girl war workers, who arevhere on a lark, and who would almost rather,sce them- selves buried in a cemetery than be shelved for the: balance of. their lives in government clerical positions. “Do you intend to stay till you are 70 and get on the «pension: roll?” I asked one sweet miss who is pink and round and 2Q, Her black eyes flashed. and her shoulders shrugged. “Huh, 50 more years writing figures; I think it is horrid for them to make us pay 2 1-2 per cent of qur salaries to the pension fund when there isn’t a chance for us to, benefit from i FINE DAYS FOR THE COOK. Speaking of counting chickefis be- fore they hatch, Mrs. Warren G.

One “appetite satisficr” trying to’ get on the good side of Inez told her the food would be sent to the White House clean and ready for the oven.+ “Not fo’ mah oven; everything goes to de .watta befoalr it goes to mah oven,” said Inez. * = % | JUST JOKING | | > a 2 Making It Plain. “What is this spiritualism “all about?” “Remains to be seen.”—Yale Rec- ord. .
