The law is very careful in protecting the
rights Of prisoner charged with a crime.
How about the Law of Common Sense and
the man who has committed an error only? Isn't
this a good place to use the benefit of the
doubt, too2
Take your own case: If you don't know for
sure whether tea or coffee is harming you, you
do know that many are harmed by the drug
element in tea and coffee, and that headaches,
nervousness, or high blood pressure are symp-
toms which often tell that the drug, caffeine, is
giving the nervous system too much jolt.
Probably you know, too, that some people
can't drink cup Of tea or coffee at bedtime,
and sleep well that night.
Where many have been harmed by tea and
coffee, and you may be harmed, isn't it well to
put the benefit of the doubt on your side before
doubt becomes an unpleasant certainty
There's charm without harm in Postun-a
pure cereal beverage, rich in flavor, fully satisfy
ing; the favorite table drink of thousands.
Suppose you try giving yourself this benefit
today, and keep up the test for ten days; then
judge the results. See if you don't feel better and
work better. You can get Postum wherever good
food and drink are sold or served.

SINE OLD TUNE.

Republican editors. which means editors who
write for papers which support that party no matter
what it does who may be its candidates. felictate
the PEOPLE of Indiana on their opportunity to be
represented in the senate by Albert J. Beveridge
and then offer as a reason for voting for him the
achievements of the Harding administration
About ninety FER cent of these same editors were
telling their readers last spring that a vote for
Mr.. Beveridse would be a reputation of the ad-
ministration and it upon that understanding
that majority of republicans made him the party
nominee.
one of the achievements Of the Harding admin
istraton the retention in the senate of one
Truman Newberry of Michigan.
Against that disgrace of the senate Mr. Beveridge
sounded his protest and declared that the forces
responsible had delivered a blow at all American
institutions.
The real friends of Mr. Beveridgo should protect
him from this assault ~ editors who take orders
who accept as gospel what the party leaders hand
them who support any ticket which bears their
label
If the people of Indiana have any opportunity
to be represented by Mr. Beveridge or if Mr. Bever-
idge has any opportunity to represent them in the
United States senate It will be because the majority
of the voters believe that he stands for entirely
ucan administration.
Some day even party editors will learn that the
people are no longer fooled by plain bunoomb and
that they have memories which last at least from
May until November.

When you think Of the love OF children, think of
those two babes whose pictures printed in this
newspaper during the Fast week
They are twins bound together by moro than the
usual bond Of brotherhood imbued with that
troordinary tie OF knship found in dual offspring
They the local orphanage. taken there
by the state which sent the mother TO prison for
year charge of deserving them.
The note left b. this mother adds little conArma-
ton TO the judgment OF the court Of a netghborng
county which denounced the mother as monster for
her act.
Tt was rather the distracted cry OF a woman who
was beset by dsmaying difficulties whose mind was
torn between what seemed an endless sentence OF
poverty for her children and escape through
placing them the doorstep of family she be-
Heved to desire just such a gift.
Those who live in well kept homes whose incomes
are certain and sure who do not know the pressure
Of need might pause before they condemn her act
too strongly
The father of these children had deserted her
She had remarked. hurriedly Of course and the
pink finger TIPS OF these babes had failed to en-
Irvine themselves around the heart Of her new bus-
hand They without money. She had 10
choose between her appeal strangers to care for
her babes and lone and losing battle TO feed
Such. at least might be fairly presumed to be the
from the heartbreaking words in her note Of
sacrifice, and it IS not at all improbable that in
leaving these twin babes she believed that she was
following, courageously and in the best way, the
"tenderest sentiment in civilization"
The kindly hearted women Of this city. in their
different organizations might do much worse than
solve the problem presented by these abandoned
babes and their imprisoned mother.
Possibly the best solution is home for these
children with kindly couple whose hearts are
filled with this tenderest sentiment and in whose
home there is the lack Of prattling laughter and
void childish steps
But should these babes born at the same time,
bound together by most unusual tie be separated,
each to go its separate way?
is that tie and bond too sacred and too pre-
cious to be lost in this way?
Is that mother, mourning now for her babes as
she looks through prison bars really felon and
terrible creature lost the tenderest sentiment.
did she follow, mistakenly, course that was
prompted by the highest of all sentiments?
Read the presidents words-and then think again
Of these twins.

You read this morning or a new record for speed.
An army officer flies 100 miles at the rate of 200
miles an hour thirty miles faster than the French
hiers
That may take the minds of men back a quarter
CT a century to the time when Barney OIdfeld was
establishing his reputation the most reckless of
daredevtls by driving automobile a mile a minute
Conservative people IN those days sagely shook
their heads and said that they would never risk
their lives in these unsafe machines. Those very
persons have probably, many Of them at any rate
paid fines for speeding in their own machines.
The whole story Of civilization is one Of transDor-
tation. Until learned travel oblterate
space, he progressed but little.
In the beginning he was chained to the ocean
shores and the river banks When he got away
from them he was in danger. That fixed the sites
Of cities and towns TO spots where should reach
them in boats whose power was the wind
Then man learned how control steam and the
lines OF steel stretched out into the unconquered
wfdernesses and men had time and facilities for
more comforts
Now he Is turning the skies to his own convent
ence and man will soon speed up every other activity
Of life TO keep pace with his new power of trans
portation.
That the record of yesterday will stand for
continued period IS most doubtful soon these
planes VIII be drivinc three, four, five hundred
miles an hour. Some predict thousand miles an
hour as more than a possibility
