tour, Charles Evans Hughes. Republican

Los Angeles today.
He left here at s o'clock last night.
after making three speeches in rapid sue

separation Of business and politics. and
cooperation between capital and labor.
He Is due to arrive at about 8 o'clock

In his address at the Commercial Club
yesterday. I'VE have had about all the

I'VE must have that spirit In this
Government. I do not believe we can
run this Government by mixing public
business and politics"
Hughes declared that II Is necessary
to protect American business and that
the, American Government ought to be
pattern for business men, instead OF
such a thing as people ''can scoff at"
Urges Budget System.
In this connection. he urged the
budget system Of Government appro-
priations. One OF the troubles hereto
fore has been. he said. 'the inexpert.
ness and fear and apprehension and de.
sire to please this and that one. instead
OIL relying on the common sense OF
Justice"
Differences between striking culinary
workers and the management OF the
Commercial Club caused a furry. OF ex'
element in political circles today.
Because the club displays the "oper
shop card, the culinary unions re-
fused to furnish union walters to serve
the dinners. but the difficulty was fnall,
restaurants closed down during the
hour of the Hughes luncheon and sen'
its floor crews to take care of the Presi'
Dental nominees party.
Hughes was more vigorous In his ges
lures and his voice yesterday than al
any time since he left New York tive
weeks ago. Moreover, he was plainly
pleased at the enthusiastic way in which
he was received.

Food Spectators Hit

When the threatened railroad strike was i'm
minent, dealers in produce and foodstuffs in Chi
cago and New York bought up large supplies
with the evident purpose of making the public
pay fancy price for the food. The calling off of
the strike left these men with large supply on
hands, for which they had paid more than the
current price. They were hit hard and today
find themselves losers by thousands Of dollars.
In New York, steps are on way to prosecute the
men who tried to make money on the misfortune
Of the people. No law can be drastic enough to
deal with men who try to make money on food
supplies in crisis. The poor people are the ones
who suffer most when prices are advanced far
beyond reason and justice. Commercial pirates
of this kind ought be made walk the plank

The Bridge Question

That two members of the county council,
Messrs. Bockhoff and Druley, should thwart the
desire of the whole community that the bridge
controversy be settled at once, merely illustrates
the futility of expecting business-like results
from our present form of city and county govern
ment If the county's affairs were in the hands
of business managers the appropriations would
have been voted.
For many months the Main Street bridge
has been an eyesore to the city and an object Of
reproach to the whole community. Every citi-
zen is anxious to have the problem solved at
once. There was every indication that the
county council would vote an appropriation for a
bridge built on the present level. Taxpayers
had indicated plainly that they would not toler-
ate the expense of constructing level bridge.
The two men who blocked the appropriation for
bridge on the present level know this The
eleventh hour effort Of Mr.. Bockhoff to try to
see if the old span could be repaired does not
make strong appeal to the community. Com
petent engineers had informed the county COM
missoners that repairs could not be made. The
board of works had indicated that it does not
favor rebuilding the old structure. In the light
of these facts, the action of Mr.. Bockhoff in
working against the south side bridge and the
Main street span cannot be understood by the
community. The censure for the defeat of the
bridge appropriation must be laid at his door.
The delay in the construction of the bridge, a
matter of puh 2 necessity, demanded by the
whole commull-t ~, now rests with Mr.. Bockhoff

THE BLACK PUDDING

The beautiful Japanese vase was
broken. There on the hall rug it
lay shattered to bits of green glass
that shivered and winked in the warm
spring light.
But not soul knew who had been
the cause of the disacter. Beverly
had not been in the house, so he could
not have done it, and the only two
likely to have committed the deed
were Ada or Ponto. OF course, Ponto
could not say word, for no one under
stood his bark. But Ada, who was
just eight, insisted that she had not
been near when the accident took
place.
Now, Ada's mother was very wise
She knew that sometimes little girls
are tempted to deny misfortune be-
cause they are afraid of being scolded.
So she called Ada and told her to tell
the truth about the vase-to own up
if she had broken it--and that would
end the matter, but the child continued
to protest her innocence. Then a
wise thought came to the mother. She
would teach the little girl that to tell
an untruth brings sad conscience.
Yet how was it to be done?
AS the mother sat thinking Ada ran
into the kitchen, where Martha was
busy getting dinner. She had heard
the talk between the child and the
mother and decided to play trick on
Ada that would be a lesson, though
she did not then know that was just
what the mother wished done.
Ada sat perched on box watching
Martha pour out molasses and beat
up eggs, then stir it all up with. spice
and sugar in big brown bowl
"This is a funny pudding what l
am making" remarked Martha,
glancing at Ada sideways. ut is
called magic pudding"
What, a really truly, magic pud-
ding?" exclaimed Ada, her eyes wide
with excitement why, how did you
get any magic things to user
WELL" continued Martha as she
stirred and beat the dark, sweet mess
in the bowl. them spices come from
Araby, and they is what makes it
magic What is curious about it is
that after it is baked, if it is eaten
by anyone who has told a fib, that per-
son will turn black, just like this is
now"
Ada moved uneasily in the chair.
'Is it for our dinner?" asked the
child.
"Of course it is" returned Martha
with a smile around her mouth. 81
am making it now for dessert today"
"And any one who has told a fib
will turn black if they eat that pud
ding?" asked Ada with a tremble in
her voice.
Sure" replied Martha. That's
just why it is called the magic black
pudding, because it shows up folks
what don't tell the truth-they turns
black and stays so for a year"
Ada climbed down from the chair
and went out into the yard. Her

danger of an outbreak of measles. scarlet
fever or diphtheria in connection with the
opening of schools than there is of infantile pa
ralysis and the fatality as well the serious aft
er effects of these diseases nearly as great as
result from infantile paralysis.
Not only is medical supervision OF school
children of great Importance in connection with
the prevention of these diseases, but it is the
best means of controlling communicable disease
whenever an outbreak occurs in any community.
It is always far better and safer to have the
children Of community in school under compe-
tent medical supervision daily than to permit
children to run at large and mingle together upon
the streets without supervision of any kind. The
school under medical supervision becomes clear
ing house wherein cases of communicable disease
are detected promptly and prompt and effective
steps can be taken to prevent the spread of such
disease to others.
There is nothing in the infantile paralysis sit
uation in Indiana at this time to interfere with
the opening of Indiana schools at the regular
time. In every community where there have
been one or more cases of the disease this sum-
mer, medical supervision should be established in
connection with the schools and in fact for the
reasons stated above there should be medical SUI
pervision in every school of the state.

Brotherhood for the Aged

Mrs. c. A. Rugg of New York is advocating
the organization of silverhaired sisterhood' and
"silverhaired brotherhood the purpose being
to perpetuate sunshine and happiness in the
hearts of the old men and women Of the country.
Besides furnishing homes for the aged, the or
ganization would try to find work for those old
people who still feel that they want to do some
thing.
The organization without doubt would do
much good. We know scores of old men and
women, however, who need not belong to an
organization to make them happy and contented.
In their hearts is found more happiness and opti-
mism than many young man or woman, in the
prime of life, can boast Of Old people do not
live in the past Many of them are abreast of
the times and show grasp of present day affairs
that is as refreshing as it is surprising. Old age
that brings with it contentment and peace is
something all of us can look forward to with a
good deal of enjoyment.
