JOHNSON HAS GREAT
 RECORD FOR Il YEARS

Washington, March 4.--The great ct tribute to Walter Johnson's prowess as a pitcher can be found in the games won column.
 If q pitcher wins 20 ball games during the seasons play he has had a most successful year. Johnson has turned that trick Il times.
 From 1910 to 1919, covering period of 10 seasons, Johnson won 20 or more games every year. In six of the ten years he won 25 or more games.
 Johnson's best season was in 1913, when he turned in S6 victories and suffered only seven defeats, a most marvellous record. The year previous he won S2 games.
 Winning 20 or more games for 1s consecutive seasons is record of which few pitchers can boast.

Whittier Now,
Mr.. TrOtsky?

m VERY capital in Europe today is asking
III what Russia will do next. Austen Cham
berlain, British foreign secretary, calls Russia
Europe most menacing uncertainty
And now Leon Trotsky, deposed head of
the Soviet army, is back from his exile in the
Caucasus For year he has been in seclusion
punishment for his book, "1917," which
dared criticise certain Of the communist lead

The question uppermost now is, has Trot-
sky come back victor or vanquished9 Has the
Communist party decided it can not do With
out him, or has Trotsky taken his spanking
dried his tears and promised to be good from
now on?
The Communist party numbers scarcely
over million members. There are 100000, 900
people in soviet Russia. The million, therefore
run the hundred and thirty million That is
because the masses are unbelievably ignorant
and have precisely the ox's indifference\as to
whose yoke they wear. So far as they are
concerned yoke yoke.
The million Communists are bossed by forty

forty are final seven-tne political bureau.

4 Coliseum Site

tT-IHE question Of erecting a public audi
torium OF coliseum in Indianapolis has
been before city officials during several admin
istrations On many occasions the city has
been on the verge Of selecting site and taking
steps to erect the building, but something al
ways has happened to prevent it.
n That Indianapolis needs such building is
beyond question. Other cities, have demon
strated the fact that municipal auditoriums OF
generous size are profitable Such audi
toriun in Indianapolis would go long way
toward making out case for Indianapolis as
aconvention city.
Many things must be taken into considera-
ton, however, in selecting a site for coliseum.
The most important is accessibility. The build
ing must be near the center of things. 1t must
be near car lines radiating from all directions.
But of Importance also are railroad accommo-
dations The building would be used fire.
quently for exhibitions of various kinds,
many of which would consist of machinery and
other heavy articles shipped in from other
cities and not readily transported over streets.
The board of public works is considering
site several blocks east of the downtown dis
trict. It is near railroad, but it certainly is
not readily accessible to the general public.
The Chamber Of Commerce has suggested the
Shortridge High School site. 1t is little
easier to get to but it has no railroad accom-
modations Of any kind.
Why not compromise on site somewhere
in the rapidly growing district just south Of
Washington ST. Such a site would combine
accessibility and the much needed railroad
connections.

Washin' Up
BY Hal Cochran

Get out the bucket, the chamois
and hose, and roll up your sleeves
for spell. Put on your boots, and
an old suit of clothes. The autos
not lookin' so we'll.
Whence came the dust that has
buried your car? You'd best run the
bus OH the rack. Hop to it. man,
show now poppy you are, and bring
the Oil shinniness back.
Bet you've been drivin' the family
around, on the roads that are open
and free. Rollin' along brings the
dust from the ground. Why, the
same thing has happened to me.
Call to your youngsters, and let
them assist. Turn on with interest
that's keen. See that no part of the
auto is missed. Doll up your bloom
In machine.
When you have finished, your
fever will burn, to ride in the open,
and then, you can look forward,
upon your return. to washin' the
auto again.

stores and one of his pickets searched the
mayor when the latter came from drug store.
What is really more interesting than the
spectacular efficiency of the police chief is
what newspaper story says is the attitude
Of the "better element or "the church going
people" 1t seems that when the mayor was
searched by one Of the chiefs pickets he
threatened drastic action, but did nothing,
"since sentiment of church going people
seemed to be for Lavender, who "seems to
have the upper hand. Ministers in churches
laud him and generally back him in his ideas.
The better element of the city seems
to be for him. Temperance organizations,
women S clubs and civic clubs are supporting
him. The w. G. T. U. has elected him delegate
to the international convention in England in
June"
Little sympathy will be wasted on the
bootleggers The law will take care of them
on conviction. There is more significance in
the mental attitude of the so-called better ele-
ment which backs police chief in taking the
law into his own hands, and even violating the
law and Constitution in his determination to
enforce the law in his own way.
This would seem to indicate that disrespect
for the law is not confined to those who violate
the prohibition law, but is coming so wide
spread as to take in what we have been accus,
toned to term the better element of society
Very likely none of us is entirely free from
the human weakness of being willing to go to
extreme lengths to make the other fellow obey
any particular law we want him to obey.
