POOLING
INDIANA VOTERS.
No. Endorsing ]. F. Goodrich"
Copyright, 1920. l. P. B.

The most evident purpose of this
booklet 'issued by the Indiana republic
an state committee" is to make an issue
for this political campaign Of the record
of the republican party under the Good
rich administration.
In pursuit Of this purpose, the COM
mittee, which assumes full responsibility
for the booklet and its contents, in
cludes fuIsome eu1ogies of Gov. James
P. Goodrich, whose name appear seven
times on its first page and is found
at frequent intervals elsewhere. Goodrich
is the most frequently quoted authority
in the booklet. His pronouncements on
taxation form the body of the treatise
and are so used.
This booklet was prepared and au-
>thorized while James w. Fesler, now a
favorite candidate for the nomination
for governor was a member of it. In
ments from Fesler on the subject of tax
alton it must be regarded as his plat
form stand on the subject of taxes. He
was q member of the committee that
authorized it. He is one of the men
who approved 1t and he is, of course,
bound by 1t, a fact which he has never
taken occasion to deny.
Therefore, as a statement of the plat
form on which the republican party
makes it campaign, authorized and is
sued by the highest authority of the
party, II is binding, not only particularly
on Fesler because he was connected with
its issuance, but on all other candidates
who did not specifically repudiate it.

Lincoln need to assert his great and high

The future historian will have the
honor of recording one Of the greatest
events in the world, as It relates to the
peace and dignity of all the peoples

determination to have the league OF ma

reveals that the republican party does
not Intend in 1920 to admit that its
record on the subject of taxation contains
any errors or is susceptible of improve
ment in any way. In fact the whole
tenor of the booklet is to maintain that
in the present tax law the republican
party has produced not only a perfect
gystem of taxation, but the best system
that can be devised.
Nor does the republican committee con-
cede that in the administration of the
lsw that 1t provided there has been
single mistake on the part of the Good
rich administration On the contrary
the operation OF the 1919 tax law" is
regarded as excellent and is praised in
every detail. 1T is, in fact, so satisfac-
tory to the republican committee that
that body declares that
Within less than five years from this
date it will be universally recognized as
the greatest achievement of the repub-
Ican party in Indiana since the Civil
war"
For the campaign of 1920 the repub-
hcan state committee has definitely
linked the party with the tax laws en-
acted under the Goodrich administration.
1t has Endorsed the la wand it's admin
istration. Its position in this campaign
is assumed in the final words of this
official publication:

GOOD STORIES

Anybody Is better off for having heard
good stories, clean stories, told by a
born story teller. Because a good story
IS good In itself. and, WELL told, is bound
to let loose the laugh germ. And laughter
is healthy.
Abraham lincoln. whose birthday an
niyersary win be celebrated on Feb u.
was an acknowledged leader both as
teller and inventor OF apt stories. The
story telling habit became a part OF his
nature, and he gave free rein to It. Even
when the fate OF the nation seemed to
be trembling in the balance, Lincoln
could tell a funny story. That, and
laughable book, was an outlet for the
agony he was undergoing in his soul
Llncoln's supply Of stories seemed as
unfailing as a rock spring. He always
had one on tap. And he enjoyed them
himself, a fact which added to tho en-
1oyment Of others IN them.

be the ultimate Judge of his own
life, when called upon to give this
his highest right, for the invasion OF
another's home.
VIII Prevent Big Araiea
at will prevent the welding of
humanity against other masses of
humanity when the individuals
who form these armies personally
have no grievance against the other
armies or individuals of the other
armies.
Under this check on autocracy
and wider latitude of liberty
humane standards would really
flourish unwarped by national
greed. The love for their fellow
man would be inculcated into their
hearts by the knowledge, of the
truth. which must never be censored,
as their patriotism would be in
creased IL the truth justified war.
and they would be deprived of the
truth when 1t was most needed il
it did not Justify war.
Through these guarantees they
would never have their decisions
hidden by conscription, their senti-
meuts censored and these seeds
of autocracy watered with the
blood OF their unconscious sscri-
fees.
Would many in this civilized age
of the world volunteer to do a
wrong by invading another nation
at the risk of their lives when they
individually could gain nothing?
This will prevent the, greed of
nations from prompting their rulers
who personally make no sacrifices
to record their names in history,
and accomplish their wishes. by
willingly demanding the lives and
fortunes of their countrymen.
Would Deter Wars.
The fact that j. nation could not
depend on its citizens would deter
II from invading a nation that
could resort to conscription for the
protection of its soil and in addi-
tion receive the external voluntary
assistance of those who thought
the cause was just enough to risk
their lives to. support it.

Political
Browsings s
BY Labert st. Clair.

Alex Moore, whose wife is or was
Lillian Russell, told me the other
day that Lillian batted about 1000
as a icampaigner in the last cam
paign because she was smart
enough to know just what she was
doing before she started anything.
1t is Miss Russelrs notion that the
way to get things done Is not to
be chairman of any kind of a COM
mittee. but just to give ones aid.
Hence, she always refuses to head
committees, bat she very gladly
serves as a worker. Thus Is she able
to get up her speeches, deliver them
and pass on to something else with
out having the grief OF a chairman's s
details to look after.
Although Miss Russell made q
score or more of speeches, she never
was heckled once during the cam
paign.
Moore says he has a hard time
convincing folks that he really is
talking to Miss Russell when he
calls her over a phone. One day in
New York. he said, he told q tele-
phone girl to call both Miss Rus
sell. in Pittsburgh, and Col. Roose-
welt, in Oyster Bay, for him, and
the girl almost. dropped dead. She
never dreamed that there was any
one in the whole world who knew
both Lillian and T. r. well enough
to talk with them over a telephone.

As the year draws to a close. the
prophesies of astrologers to the ef-

and more realised.
In 1921 there will be many adjust

tered all the old standards of life,
but these will not be made without
serious troubles.
1t will be wise today to maintain

Judgment should not be trusted at

be concerning love or business af-
fairs, may not be Trustworthy.
Uranus forecasts continued labor

by an effort on the part of capital
to make determined stand for old

Greek Isolation

Just as Greece recalls her King in defiance of
allied opinion, Bulgaria is admitted to the vesti-
bule- Of the league of nations along with Aus
tria. This seems to forctell her admission to the
Little Entente
Bulgaria has not had change of heart, But
she probably has had revival of common sense
and prudence. Evidently her neighbors no longer
consider her menace to their safety and consider
it better to have her in close union than a float
ing breeding ground for intrigue.
This action solidiies the Balkan states as
against inroads by Germany. German uses 1t
shuts Bolshevism from advancing in that direction
1t also isolates Greece while by the treaty of Ra
polla, it reaches through Jugo-Slavia to cordial
lations with Italy.
The apparent willingness of France to come
to agreement with the Turks further emphasizes
the folly of the Greeks, as this only be
compshed at the expense of Greece 70 whom the
allies no longer support further obligation.
Indeed the outlook is that Constantine returns
to an expanded Greece, bedged about with influ-
ences anything rather than friendly. If he escapes
disaster, if his people do not turn against
him swiftly as they turned to him, he will have
to his well-known stiffness to better adyan-
tage than in the early period of the war.
