time 10 put the old fashioned fight
ing spirit into the democratic work
ers and voters Of Indianapolis and
the seventh congressional district
like the result Of the second trial OF
Joseph r. Bell. Few men have
ever been so pursued. First, ne
was abused while mayor because he
would not do the bidding OF power
ful political influences which had
nothing ir common with the demo-
cratic party The personal abuse
never ceased. He was indicted in
the state courts and aquitted. The
powerful newspapers have spent lots
Of space trying 10 ruin men who
were on the jury.
Bell was indicted on the same
charges and tried on the same evil
deuce in federal court and only the
other day six Of the jurymen said 10
of1ense against the law had been
committed By anyone. The other
six thought a crime might have beea
committed somewhere. but no vote
was taken on who committed IL.
The democrats, and thousands OF
republicans best acquainted with the
facts. look upon the selfish influences
Of the republican organization as
most contemplate persecution and
think a rebuke of the right sort the
proper thing.
Which makes the situation in In
dianapolis in the coming elections
still more interesting. Meantime the
same newspaper influences are busy
trying 70 infer that the six men who
did not vote to convict Joseph l..
Bell were improperly influenced.
Goodrich on Oil inspectors.
When James r. Goodrich was the
republican candidate for governor
ne ranted up and down the state
proclaiming that the state oil in
spection was costing the people Of
Indiana S125,00O year As a mat
ter of fact the department had been
made. By the democrats. 70 pay \
net income Of 100000 a year to
the state. But Goodrich persisted
in his charges of $125.000 a year
waste. When the legislature re
fused 10 abolish the department
Goodrich found other ways TO dis
Gratis because that was too many.
He named seventy-six republicans TO
succeed the ffty-eight democrats
and succeeded. through his much
agitation. in having the whole de-
partment upset in the federal court
That retired the democrats and
Goodrich named his republican
army,
Now Goodrich is making a report
of excuses for why we republicans
must raise the taxes" This time he
says "the democrats had 5000 900
net revenue each year from the oil
inspection and in trying 10 keep up
the department it has been an eX-
pense TO the republicans"
He admits that democrats had a
net revenue Of 100000. He denied
il as a candidate. this being in line
with other things he said. Now he
is admitting that just the thing said
by the democrats was true and that
he deliberately told an untruth as a
candidate.

The Pulse and Temperature
of France
BY Woods Hutcheson. VI. D.

PART III.
A second popularity of modern
war. which has helped France 70 adj
just herself and maintain a work
ing balance even under the terrible
strain which she has been subjected
to. is that il has been so emphatic
ally and overwhelmingly a war of
machinery and big guns. Its motto
is a paraphrase of NapOleOn's 'au-
dacity." ammunition and again am
munition and always ammunition"
BY another of its paradoXes shells
to save life" in Lloyd Georges
phrase, for the army that has most
guns and ammunition loses fewest
soldiers in an offensive.
A war of munitions and railroads,
of telephone and telegraph and cleo
trical equipment of every imagin-
able sort, of huge howitzers mount
ed. like observatory telescopes,
moved by clockwork and aimed with
surveyors transit, of airplanes and
motor lorries and motor ambulances
by the hundred thousand. This enOr-
nous and incessant demand has
duction of all sorts so tremendously,
new factories springing up every
where like mushrooms TO meet it,
that the whole civilian population at
home, the women and children of
the soldiers. and the men too old or
physically unfit for military service,
instead of being thrown out Of work
and left 10 starve have had abund-
ant employment at double and even
treble the wages they had even
dreamed of before.
So great has been the rise in
wages, so keen the demand for labor
that many a soldiers wife or daugh-
ter is actually making more money
at home in the war factory than the
head of the family was able to earn
in time of peace. Wages of all sorts
on an average have doubled and in
not a few fields of industry trebled
since the outbreak Of the war. and
as il is one Of the axiOms of mill
tary and man-power experts that a
nation is physically able 10 put no
more than one-tenth of its total pop
ulatiOn in the field for active service,
which means about one-third of all
the males of working ages this
means that most of the other two
thirds and all the w'omen-save
those vith young children-Of the
community have been earning high
er wages than they ever did in their
lives before.

Wages have actually kept pace
with the higher cost OF food. and as
many families have now two and
three wage -earners in the place of
one. the net result has been, in the
almost unanimous opinion of those
interested and expert i'm labor con-
ditions in France. that the great
mass of her people are better fed
better clothed, and working shorter
hours and under more favorable
conditions than -hey were before the

and England that the women were

that their heal tn. instead of dete-
riorating. had actually improved un-
der the work.
In most government controlled
plants they are carefully supervised
and guided by women physicians and
other welfare workers. so that they
know how to protect themselves and
TO take care of their health better
than ever before.
AS for the much talked-of short
ages of food and even "famines. 80
due 70 the war these actually for the
most part are confined to certain
special articles OF food. such as
sugar. butter milk, white -four. pork.
etc. Many of these, even, are only
temporary and local in nature, and
there are other substitutes to be had
except in the case OF sugar. Taking
il by and large. again speaking from
the perhaps limited point of view of
my own experience, the only serious
obstacle TO procuring an adequate
supply Of nourEhing food in most
parts of France that I visited was
the price. And even that barrier
became less formida bic as one went
down into the smaller towns and
country districts.
There was no white bread. but
plenty of brown war bread, in fact,
less restriction was placed upon the
use of bread in the restaurants and
cafes, and so far as one could Judge
in private houses, than in England.
There was barely enough sugar for
| the coffee. but plenty of fresh fruit
and vegetables, and a limited but
adequate supply of fresh meat and
ham, and save for a period of scar
city last spring and summer of po-
| tatoes. Prices in Paris and the other
great cities were high, but no higher
on an average than in New York or
Boston. and the main difficulty was
| skirmishing about perpetually and
exercising ones ingenuity upon the
| bills of fare to find substitutes that
! were Just as good" on the two
meatless days in the week and the
two on which desserts, buildings.
cakes, etc, containing much sugar
could not be served.

was told by my colleagues. both
French and American, who we're
engaged in work among the children
and in children's hospitals, that the
high value placed by war on chill

so stimulated the activities Of the
many public-spirited organizations

ti.s English Red Cross and many
equally devoted but smaller organ

brought down to one of the lowest
levels in her history.
Incidentally, a like unexpected
and gratifying result has been
brought about in many districts in
Belgium by the devoted efforts Of
Belgian philanthropists and physi-
clans backed by our American Bel

course. Germany, who did not put
one little finger TO the work, is char
acteristically claiming the entire re-
suit as one of the visible blessings
of Prussian rule and of the sway Of

To put it roughly. a considerable
share OF the huge sum voted by the
French government for war ex-
penses has gone directly back into

lation in the form Of high wages,
and while this will have to be paid
for some day, yet for the present il
greatly helps TO redress the balance

Part of il is an actual drain upon
the total reserves of the country in
the sense of a new draft upon the
strength and vital resources of its

splendidly risen 10 and met the
