j. Pierpont Morgan,
Coal Dealer

IT m ISTORY of past anthracite strikes shows
that President Coolidge is in peculiarly
advantageous position in the present situation
In 1900 when strike had been called
Senator Mark Hanna, acting for President Nc
Kinley, induced j. Pierpont Morgan to take a
hand. Morgan told the anthracite operators to
settle with the men and the operators did so.
In 1902 similar situation arose. Secre-
tary of War Elihu Root, acting for President
Roosevelt induced j. Pierpont Morgan to take
a hand again Morgan told the operators to
settle with the men and the operators did So
Two years ago when President Coolidge
passed the buck to Governor Pnchot of
Pennsylvania, Pinchot endeavored to obtain
action from Morgan. He failed and had to
work out a settlement himself
Now the correspondents at Swampscott
tell u.s. President Coolidge proposes to act.
There appears only one thing for him to do and
that is to see j. Pierpont Morgan What Nor
gan would not do for Pnchot he is likely to do
for Coolidge. Coolidge need not send an
emissary to Morgan. He has only to ask
Dwight Morrow Morgan's partner, over to
Swampscott to spend the night. 1t will not
be an unusual invitation. Morrow, according
to reports has spent many night as Cool
idge's guest at the White House. They are
great friends. So the avenue is wider open to
Morgan s heart now than it was in the case of
Mckinley and Of Roosevelt.
There was something amusing in the in
sistence of President Lewis of the mine work
ers on the Presence at the conference table of
Samuel D. Warmer and W. J. Richards
Lewis wanted to deal with men who had au-
thority, not with mere dummies, as he regarded
the other operators at Atlantic City.
Events have revealed that the only real
authority in the anthracite industry is j. Pier
pont Morgan, his bank.

cinderella Is Adopted

T7T[AT millionaire realtor in New York who
wanted to adopt little girl to be com
panion for a little girl he already had adopted
has succeeded.
The girl may be little, but her neighbors
say she is ''twenty-one if she is day, that
she is engaged to dentist and that she has
been movie actress.
ALI of which goes to prove something or
other-probably that nowadays you can't tell
by looking at her whether girl is sixteen or
thirty, and that middle-aged millionaires some
times can be particularly gulible.
The whole idea has been foolish from the
start The millionaire frankly announced that
he wanted to adopt girl for the purpose of
what we in Indiana would call 'spoiling" her.
He offered her pearl bracelets and necklaces,
all the clothes her heart desired, any automo-
bile she might wish and everything else that
money could buy
No one could blame twenty-one-yea
movie actress from jumping at an opportunity
of that kind.

death rate was very high. I hasten
to explain that this was before DR..

Prominent pioneers were dying by
the millions. yet some Of them were
buried 100000 years before news
Of their deaths was printed. OF
course, The Times was not running
then, either.
For some millions of years the
primeval undertakes had had only
sorry specimens to work with
single-celled beings and jelly-like
creatures and soft worms and other

the course Of time. life had pro-

alcohol was against the law at that

publicans, is his chief plant.
Perhaps the police force is an in
efficient body. But it is doubt
full if the fact that it contains
more Republicans than Democrats
is the root Of the trouble. Crime
detection and prevention do not
necessarily depend on political
persuasion.
Still a State law requires that
the indianapolis police force shall
consist of an equal number Of
Republicans and Democrats. APP
parently that provision has been
ignored.
Ostensibly that law is designed
to take the police department out
of politics. In fact the act merely
serves to imbed it more firmly in
politics.
No municipal administration, no
matter how holy its resolve to
handle police affairs solely on the
basis of merit and efficiency. can
ignore politics in administration
of the department. The State law
won't permit it. 1t Is equally
necessary that applicants for jobs
on the force be of proper political
complexion as sound in wind and
limb and otherwise qualified to
hound crooks.
Prediction promises OF sundry
candidates to divorce police from
politics sound interesting.
But there will beNno divorce un.

attic can be operated on a strict
merit system and real civil service.

In ing the State highway commission
That makes it unanimous The State board Of
accounts has investigated and the Marion
County grand jury has indicted.
Perhaps some day the affair will get be-
yond the investigation stage-perhaps. Three
years ago The indianapolis Times exposed the
sale by the commission of used war material
without competitive bids About year ago
the board of accounts investigated and made
report which was seized by the county grand
jury. A few months ago the grand jury in
dicted some of the members and officials of the
commission, along with reel pients of the war
material. At last the Federal Government is
taking an interest in the case.
AS a side issue the commission is in a row
with Marion County over road specifications,
resulting in shake-up among employees.

and club cars, pause to think Of the
debt they owe the scientist and en-
gineer for this twentieth century
marvel.
The development of modern civil
ization probably owes more to the
perfection of the railroad than to
any other one factor.
The hundredth anniversary Of the
opening Of the first railroad is to be
celebrated this year.
On Sept. 81, 1925. the first railway
line was started in operation in Eng
land. 1t was the Stockton and
Darlington Railway.
The first train on it made eight
miles an hour. A guard carrying a
warning flag rode on horseback
ahead of the engine to clear the
track and warn pedestrians.
George Stephenson built the loco
motive. Other attempts at building
locomotives had been made previous
ly.

more famous today on Broadway as
a trainer of the Hoffman Girls in
Artist and Models" then when she
was on the stage herself. 1t might
be collected fame, because the pub
lie knows what her name stands
for.
Miss Meyers has found it OPP
FORTUNE to establish her own school.
This gives her a chance to give the
stage natural talent. I mean by
that the chorus girl type is missing.
Her six girls have charm, ability
and good looks. The problem now is
to so develop an idea of dance
routine so that the personality Of the
dancer is not lost.
The ballet impression gives one an
idea of the classical ability Of the
dancers, but for an ending it seems
to be the order of jazz up even
ballet skirts.
Miss Meyers herself has an
exotic charm. That she always has
had. In a ball room dance number,
the dancer probably does the best
work on her program. 1t is an am
bilious dance and one that requires
skill. Interest probably will center
upon this one dance.
I found too much scenery for the
first part of the program. 1t seemed
to hinder the dancers in obtaining
free movements. The second set
is beautiful although suggesting
elegance.

Daddy Days
By Hal Cochran

when they're going away and
you're left quite alone, man gets

goin' right back to the old daddy
days.
It's a call that's so strong that
your heart kinda aches. Time trav-
els along, and the best things it
takes. The echo Is bringing. in long
after years, that same daddy" ring
ing out plain in your ears.
When sis is a baby and son is a
tot, man doesn't know of the
wealth that he's got. No doubt
they're an answer to early life
dreams, but once you're a daddy.
it's habit, it seems.
You travel along in your every
day life, and you're proud Of the
daughter, the son and the wife.
You're happy, of course. but you
seldom begin, till later, to find just
how kind fate has been.
The youngsters grow up and step
out in the world. In loneliness land
you are suddenly hurled. How queer
are the ways that the God of Fate
plays. No wonder man longs for the
old daddy" days.
