EDITORIALS OF
NEWS ONSHANK
ARE RECALLED
Praised Him Ten Years Ago
and Now Becomes Bitter
Opponent.

Following announcement last week that
the pas tdeeds and personality of Samuel
Lewis Shank. Republican nominee for
mayor, would be stressed by speakers
during the campaign to formally open
about Ost. l, steps to defend the Shank
administration of eight years ago were
tken by the Shank forAIayor club today.
Mr.. Shank himself has been the ouly
outstanding issue developed so far.
In defense of Mr.. Shank's>acts as mayor
the Shank for Mayor Club drew the
deadly parallel between attacks which
the indianapolis News has been making
on Mr. Shank recently and what the
paper thought of him while he was mayor
and Immediately after he resigned. Other
newspapers were quoted.
From the News of Nov. /, 1911, an edi-
torial commenting upon a speech which
Mr.. Shank had made at a Board Of
Trade banquent the club recalled the
following: -
1T was one of the most enjoyable, keen
cutting and best speeches delivered In
Indianapolis for some time. The mayor
is right, the people have made light of
him when they should have been giving
him support. 1t is greatly to his credit
that without the support that he should
have had he has come through without
the label of CRATER on him and that be
has made good record as he has made
in many things, notably his handling OF
the market problem"
An editorial in the News on Nov. -,
1913. Just after Mr. Shank had resigned.
according to the club read as follows:
- Looking back over the three years
and eleven months Of the Shark Ad-
ministration. one can not escape the
conviction that Mr.. Shanks actions have
been those OF a sincere man, and whose
general desires, had they received the
proper support, would have wrought
much good to the city. He was sincere
" attracted to the cheaper food cam
paign, because of the vital manner In
which it affected the people. He worked
for market reform, and had it not been
for the action of the council the new
market plans would have gone through.
Defeated in this, Mr.. Shank still Le-
lieved that retail prices could be low
cred by the elimination of the middle
man. He then began his potato sales-a
practical experiment in food distribution.
Likewise, he followed a distinct policy as
to street improvement and allowed ma
iorjty of the property owners to have
deciding voice In these matters. He has
erred only as have all erred"
Boyd NJ. Ralston, Democratic nominee
for mayor, ADDRESSED the Scientech Club
at luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce
today.
Both Democrats and Republicans start
ed large forces to work checking regis
tration fists against poll books.
Charles p. Tighe, chairman OF the
speakers bureau at Democratic head
quarters, stated the place and time for
the opening Of the speaking campaign,
scheduled for this week have not been
fixed.
An executive committee meeting will
be held by Democrats in the Thirteenth
precinct Of the First ward at PISA Olney
street tonight
Mr. Shank viii go 20 Evansville TUES
day to attend a furniture mems con-
veution. He is expected 10 return Thurs
day evening.

BRITISH PLANS
Continued From Page One.)

anti British element Of Ireland, India and
Egypt work more or less in common
throughout the world. Until recently the
Irish and the Egyptians employed jointly
the same firm of prominent Washington
lawyers for the prosecution of their
causes before Congress and before the
American public. American Friends of
Freedom for Ireland. for India and Egypt
embrace the same names.
In the eventuaity that Great Britain
sent an expeditionary force into Ireland
to suppress a war of rebellion, there are
serious minded BritiShers who are con-
vinced that day would mark the out
break of CONGREGATIONS in India and
Egypt More pessjmistically inclined
Britishers even include revolt in South
Africa among the simultaneous possibil-
tiles. Not only would a vast British
army be required to suppress wars in
Ireland, India and Egypt but the British
navy would be required for conveying
British troops to battle areas, thousands
Of miles over sea,
The writer can state on high authority
that Great Britain hesitates to reduce her
naval strength on any considerable scale
as long as Ireland remains unreconciled.
The British navy will not be needed to
fight the Irish. But 1t might be very
much needed TO fight powerful foreign
allies Of the Irish cause. Brihshers
when speaking frankly with Americans
roundly declare they must always take
into consideration that Irish American
politics" might some day force United
States administration into an attitude of
hostility. While that possibility exists
it always win exist while there is re-
bellion In Ireland, the British say
there is declared to be no strong proba-
bility that the British would cut down
their feet
Great Britain is known to be prepared
for disagreed BILE situations in Washing
ton itself IL the Irish imbroglo still
holds the center of the stage The
American Association for Recognition Of
the Irish Republic has publicly and Of
fcially threatened to 'em5arrass" the
British delegation at the conference az
much as possible. The British expect
picketing demonstrations, PROFESSIONS
and outbursts In Congress- They are
aware that one Of the leading American
conference delegates Senator Lodge. rep
resents strong Irish constituency
some times called New Treland''-and
that he will be a candidate for re-
election in 1923.
They are thinking anxiously about all
these things and wondering what is in
store for them on the Potomac two
months hence.-Copyright 1921, by Pub

harrington is in Indianapolis where he
maintains a residence, but he was not
mingling with the delegates.
When interviewed at his home Mr..
Harrington denied he is a radical leader.
II make no pretense of being the lead
er of the radicals nor do I pretend to
lead the conservatives" he said. AS
matter of fact, l make no pretense of
leading any faction. 1 shall do in this
convention as l have always done during
the twenty five years l have belonged to
the United Mine Workers of America
put forth my efforts to do what 1 can in
a constructive way for the benefit of the
United Mine Workers of America"
Mr.. Harrington said that so far as h.
is concerned there is no politics in the
International organization. He said in
ternal politics would only be instru-
mental in defeating the purposes of the
organization. He would not comment on
what is likely to be taken up in the con-
vention.
From the conservative viewpoint the
big thing to be taken up at the conven-
ton Is the matter of wages. The ad-
ministration is expected to contend for
continuance of the present wage agree
ments, which expire March 81, 1922. There
may be some advocation Of higher wages
on the part of some of The delegates,
but there certainly will be no agreement
to a reduction.
Second In Importance is the West Vir-
ginia situation where armed conflict re-
Gently has attracted the attention Of the
entire county and has brought about
the Interference Of the Federal Govern
ment. 1t is expected that resolutions
VII ha Had In fov1
holding the West Virginia miners and
opposing what is termed the subserviance
of State and county officials there to
the demands of the mine operators.
In this respect the convention prob
ably viii demand the recall Of the Bald
win Felts detectives who have been en-
ployed as deputies throughout the mine
region. Demands are also expected to
be made on the Federal Government for
a continuance Of congressional investi-
cation into the situation there. 1t Is
also expected that legislation will be de-
manded to prevent theN employment of
armed deputies by mine operators.
The situation in Kansas also, is ex
pected TO be taken up and on this sub
ject the radical wing Is expected to put
up a strong fight. Several strikes have
been called in Kansas which the inter-
national officers contend are in violation
Of wage agreements. AS a result Howat
has been "called on the carpet" and the
bltterest Of feeling exists.
1t is estimated that between 1870 and
20O0 official delegates will be present at
the convention. 1t VIII open In Tomlin
son Hall at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing with preliminary addresses by Gov
ernor Warren T. McCray and Mayor
Charles w Jewett and representatives of
local labor unions. Mr.. Lewis is ex
peeted to make his report in the after
noon. The convention Is the twenty
eighth biennial meeting Of the organiza-
ton.

to swear that Mrs. Stokes had been ia
miliar with number OF men.
The wife, in her defense declared that
Stokes charges were a frame up" and
on her part alleged that the millionaire
was unduly familiar with many women.
Judge Finch's decision covered fifteen
closely typewriter pages and was an
exhaustive review OF all the evidence in
troduced by both sides.
In his suit, Stokes alleged that Mrs.
Stokes, a Denver (Colo) girl, had com
mitted misconduct with his own son
cher stepsonl and also with Holland NIL
Ter, a stepbrOther; Harold Billig a cou-
sin; George Shroeter and other persons.
Mrs. Stokes made a sweeping denial Of
all these charges and produced the al
legged Co respondents, who themselves
fatty denied they had had improper re-
lations with her.
She declared her husband had plotted a
divorce from her to force her to surren-
der her dover rights and obtain custody
of their two children, James, 5, and Helen
Muriel. 4.
DIVORCE "BY FAIR
MEANS OR FOUL"
Mrs. Stokes declared her husband had
told her he would divorce her "by fair
means or foul"
Furthermore, she said. he forced her to
sign various papers. which she feared
later were documents signing away her
rights to valuable property.
Mrs. Stokes also declared her hus-
band admitted he had had improper re-
lations with other women. Stokes was
accused by her Of slapping and pinch!ng
her.
Stokes, she alleged, had so many wom-
en- lettering around his rooms that she
was afraid to go out into the corridor
for fear they would attack her.
She quoted him as saying he believed
some Of the women would throw acid on
him, and on one occasion, she said, he
clothing, saying woman had thrown 1t
on him.
TAKES OCCASION TO
REBUKE DEFENDANT.
Justice Finch, in his decision, how
ever. took occasion to rebuke Mrs. Stokes
for parts OF her testimony against the
aged millionaire, as exaggerated If in
deed some of 1t really happened at ALL -
In this connection Justice Finch said :
Concerning Mrs. Stokes counter
claim, 1t is plain that a great deal of
what she has testified to has been ex-
aggerated, If indeed some of it really
happened at all This Is shown by the
fact that these occurrences are not en-
tered in the body of the diary which
she relied upon, but are placed at the
end of the book and are referred to
only by stars placed in the regular por-
ton Of the diary.
"In addition, while Mrs. Stokes wai
suffering this cruel and inhuman treat
ment alleged by her, she was writing
most endearing and effectionate letters
to her husband. Mr.. Stokes, however
did not take the stand, contenting him
sci with the announcement of his counsel
that he did not wish publicity to take
issue on the question Of veracity with
his wife. In consequence, while making
due allowance for the exaggeration and
unreliability of the testimony of the de-
PENDANT (Mrs. Stokes) there yet remains
sufficient upon which to find decree
OF separation, especially in view of the
fact that the testimony has not heeu
contradicted."
