lie Wears a White Cnrnation.

For all his easygoing ways. James
Whitcomb Riley is the best-dressed
man in indianapolis, says the Septem-
Der Dclineator.
He is the faultlessly attired gentle
man who daily walks out OF Lockerbie-
ST. with o gold-neaded cane and often
with 4 white carnation In his button
hole as he starts downtown to see
his publishers. And before he's gone
far, he has accumulated following
of children. If there Is a little red
headed boy at the house with the blue
pump, standing on the fence-rail play
ing telephone with the clothesline. Mr..
Riley calls Hello, Amber Locks!" The
first time they met he lifted the boy
over the fence, set him down on the
ground, looked at him gently. and
said: Son, you've got hair just like
Hum used to have. Hum was my little
brother, and grandmother called him
Amber Locks" And as he goes on
down the street, there isn't child
that he misses. He knows them all.
Last summer there was lemonade

yond the red brick church. Lemonade
was three cents a glass. But theCe

the small vendors were not comfort

In charge Along came the fine gen.
tleman, and though he didn't have an
umbrella. he stopped in the fast-in-
creasing rain to say, 'Ill take glass
of lemonade" And he drank IL, too.
Then he left ten cents and didn't want
the change He never does. Every
newsboy In indianapolis knows that.
Among the little folk he meets he
scatters pennies as freely as the sun

INGRAM DECLINES
! TO MAKE RUN FOR
CONGRESS
SAYS he CAN DO MORE AS PR,
vATE CITIZEN THAN AS OFF,
cER-sEEKER TO ADVANCE PRO-
oREssIvE POLICIES.

Frederick f. Ingram, who was the
Democratic candidate for congress
two years ago. has refused to allow
his name to be used as a candidate
In the coming primaries.
In request to him that he run
again, p. j. NJ Hally, John Naylon.
J. ]. Crowley and A. c. Stellwagen
say:
'There is an economic crisis in this
country today and it's proper direction
rests in large measure with the con
gress OF the United States
Three great problems confront the
American people: The tariff. the con
troll of corporations, government by
Injunction.
1.-THE opportunity Afforded trusts TO
plumber the public and force higher
prices through excessive tariff sched-
ules is discussed to the following con
cllision. Hence the market is restrict
ed, consumption curtailed and labor
and capital are idle or inadequately
remunerated. To allow the tariff to
be revised by it's friends Is to again
witness the rape OF the people"
Ingram is referred TO as fitted by
his investigation 10 protect the people
from greed and as likely TO give the
people more consideration than the
people OF the district have heretofore
received from their representatives.
The matter OF injunction is discussed
in tue light of the Denver platform.
In his letter of reply, Mr.. Ingram
points out that there is fourth great
problem--the control OF the govern
ment. He makes 1t his point that the
present congress has acted as attor-
neys for the predatory corporations"
The people have only such influence
on legislation as comes from fear In
spired by clamor." He calls congress

directed speaker.
With regard 10 the tariff he remarks
that ii can never be properly revised
by trustcontrolled congress.
"The widespread complaint regard
garding government by injunction is
but a manifestation OF the unrest born
of Injustice that must prevail in any
country where public power is indie
pendent OF public opinion, says Mr..
Ingram.
In conclusion, he tells those who
ask him TO become a candidate that

a contest for public office possesses a
repugnance impossible to overcome.

The Little Father Of St. Angeles
MAuDE RApFo

Little Father Michael Kinsellagh was
lingering over his Sunday morning
breakfast. trying TO keep himself awake
with the strong coffee prepared by the
housekeeper, his distant cousin, Kate
MacAvoy. She stood a little behind
his chair in a respectful position, but
her handsome pink face bore an express
sion in which irritation FLASHED with
affection
He was quite aware of her attitude
and his lips smiled, though his thick
eyebrows were punched in frown. His
blue eyes were so kindly that it was
only by half shutting them and frown-
ing that he could make them seem
stern. His round. flexible face was full
OF humorous lines which could in
moment turn severe. Long years of
work among the Italians IN the crowd
ed ward in which his church was set
had taught him that he could best
achieve health for the souls and bodies
OF his ignorant Pensioners by a sys-
tenn OF scolding and harrying-a system
so distasteful to him that he often re-
Elected that every day OF his life his
own words TO people made him sup sor-
row with spoon OF grief, but it was
