One of the most unusual political
speeches ever heard in Indianapolis was
delivered by Dan w. Simms of Lafayette.
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator. at the Indiana
Democratic Club. last night. The ad-
dress. lacking many of the Characters
ties of the usual political harangues, was
a treatise on the history of the develop
ment of government from the earliest
times.
The conclusion of Mr.. Simms was that
the League Of Nations. as proposed by
Woodrow Wilson. marked the last logi-
cal step upward, from the far off pre-
historic days when the only rule of the
government In the world was, Mr.. Simms
said:
The good old rule, the simple plan
THAT he shall take who hath the power
And he shall keep who can
Eventually the basic idea of the League
of nations must be accepted, the speaker
said, because it is inevitable as an evO-
lutionary step in human development,
and il would have been accepted when
Woodrow Wilson returned from Yer
sailles IF Massachusetts had been repre-
scented by a man Of the caliber of her
past Senators and not by Lodge. and
if Michigan had not for the time being
forgotten her highest ideals and failed

Sjmms said Il am for the League of
Nations first. last and all the time. I do
not want you to vote for me unless you
want me to 20 10 Washington to set in
motion machinery which will result
eventually in the entrance of the United
States into the League of Nations"
In closing Mr.. Simms said that he
would not ask any one to vote for him,
but he did ask every one to go to the
polls primary day and vote for some one
in order that the Democratic party may
regain some of the vitality in Indiana
il seems to have lost in recent years.
Frank Baker opened the meeting with
a scathing denunciation of Republican
county and city government.
Short talks also were made by Joseph
L. Turk and WOODBURY. Mason, candi-
dates for the Seventh district congress
Sional nomination.
Immediate modification and liberaliza
tion Of the VOlstead act were favored by
Mr. Turk He denied that this means the
return OF the saloon.
Mr.. Mason denied the right of his OPP

leaders do not want to make Il an issue.

advisers.
The common conception of any sort
of public health agency is that it is
expressly for poor people. This is not
true Poor and well TODD alike are ex-
pected to take advantage of the facilities
offered by a public health agency.
When they give you advice, it should
be followed-always. If you do not you
are falling to avail yourself of the
benefits your money is buying.
If your children come home from
school and tell you that the school nurse
has recommended certain diets or the
observance of personal hygiene rules,
you should cooperate in every way.
Such advice would not be given If it were
not altogether necessary.
Whom the request is made that your
child be vaccinated against 4 dangerous
and contagious disease, your permits sion
should be immediate. Remember always
that these suggestions and requests are
being made for your good as well as
your child's and that your cooperation
IS needed TO carry them out.
BY doing your little share you and
your children will be made healthier
and happier.
BY neglecting to do your part you
may be the means Of bringing needless
misery to those you love.
The public health doctor and nurses
are working for you.

Mayor Shank, accompanied by his aid,
J. Carleton Guy. walked onto the Murat
stage last night near the close Of the
minstrel part of an entertainment given
by the HOosier Square and Compass
Club.
The mayor was all dolled up in a
cowboy hat, a big cigar. a frock coat
and black trousers. He even carried a
cane.

knowledged the title.

Mr.. Guy as he brought a chair to which
wires were attached. TO the center Of the
stage.

planned.
The mayor seated himself with royal
dignity. busted his cigar by putting his
ashes in his hat. Mr.. Guy tied a hand.
keFchief around the mayors neck and
announced that the professor could see
nothing"
Professor Axhim then gazed into a
crystal.
What kind of a six handkerchief is
this" asked Mr.. G'.y.
a silk handkerchief replied the
wizard

putting his hand on a mans head.

The mayor did.
"a blue Dress he answered
Marvellous" said Guy. He is never
wrong"
As the professor showed signs of the
severe strain under which he was labor
ing. the noted gentleman refused to gaze
into the crystal any longer.
Then the two entertainers sang a song
accurately OF the key. One verse spoke
feeIingly Of Senator New, but Mr.. Beve-
ridge got the best mention. Guess the
mayor must have written that verse
The mayor and his recreationaI di-
rector appeared quite at home on the
stage as both have been actors and are
