Portland, Sept. II. - Cumberland
County Republicans wound up their
campaign tonight with a big meet

dore Roosevelt of New York and
Gov. Ralph O. Brewster were the
principal speakers. The meeting was
preceded by an outdoor band con-

to an old time rally in evidence dur
ing the apathetic campaign.
In the hall where his father had
spoken so many times in the past,
Col. Roosevelt discussed national is
sues along practically the same lines
as in his speeches in Waterville and
Augusta last night. He reviewed the
achievements of the Republican ad-

Police Merit System

IVY with his department heads the installa-
ton of the merit system in the police depart
ment. If Duval succeeds in doing nothing
more than establishing such system, his adj
ministration will be an outstanding one in the
history of Indianapolis.
Nothing is more demoralizing to police
force than the political system Of promotion
and demotion. Such system makes for un-
certainty on the part of every police officer as
to how he stands with the administration and
as to how long he can expect to hold his job.

The Courthouse

NTTORNEYS have decided that Marion
La County has no legal right to lease part
Of the courthouse property. With this opinion
in hand, the county council has before it an or
dinance providing for a bond of 100000 for
remodeling the present building.
If leasing the south half of the courthouse
property is.not legal, it can be made legal by
the Legislature when it meets in less than a
year from now. With the proceeds Of such a
lease the county could erect a modern Office
building on the north half of its property at
little or no cost to the taxpayers.
From the point of view of the ordinary
citizen it would be a serious mistake to spend
100000 in remodeling the present building.
The building is so constructed that little more
Office space can be obtained without the cree
ton. of an addition. The building is becoming
a considerable eyesore and no amount of re-
modelling viii make it look any better The
problem of keeping it in sanitary condition is
a real one.
The wiser policy would seem to be to hold
up all plans until the Legislature can authorize
leasing the property and then erect new
building. Under any circumstances it viii! be

the six new grade school projects
are completely shelved and
quiescent.
The Washington and Jefferson
High School projects and two
grade schools-less than half of
the building program--still exhibit
feeble signs of life and promise to
get somewhere some day.
No one, least OF all the new
members Of the school board,
denies that the school provided
for in the building program are
badly needed to give the school
children Of Indianapolis adequate
educational facilities. The new
members, upon taking Office, an
nounced themselves heartily in
favor the building program and
promised to push it.
AS a result OF their actions to
date. whatever their intentions,
they have only pushed it in the
face. The building program is
farther back than when they took
Office. When will the schools be
built? That's the one question
that interests citizens generally.

Bobbed- Haired Reformers
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

wi UNDOUBTEDLY, the most per
IO sistent OF modern reformers
Is the bobbed-haired woman.
The violent prohibitionist, the pes
sionate evangelist, the ardent social
ist, the radio fan, the golf hound,
the baseball bug, the social uplift
fiend, has nothing or her when it
comes to spreading propaganda.
Before we started the fad of cut
ting our looks, woman's browning
glory was not considered a subject
for continual conversation. Outside
Of remarking now and then that
she had just washed her hair and
couldn't do thing with 1t, the aver
age woman did not descant upon the
humors, the vagaries, the whirns of
her tresses. She knotted them up in
what she thought was the most be-
coming fashion and let it go at that.
And she was not everlastingly at
other folks to DO theirs exactly like
hers.
But today. next to operations, the
ubiquitous marcel has become the
choicest topic of feminine converse
ton. And the orations delivered
upon the wonders Of the bobbed
head are as lengthy as those of
Cicero and as eloquent as an essay
by Macauley.
If you happen to belong to the
tattered remnant of the long-haired,
this is the sort of thing you en-
counter wherever you go:

No man should ever allow him
self to feel that there is no more
beyond for him. AS some one has
said: Man is not put into the
world as music box mechanically
set with a certain fixed number of
tunes, but as violin with infinite
possibilities.I IT follow AFTER"
said Paul. What he followed after
was the plus ultra" vision--the
vision Of moro beyond.
"That for which also I am APP
pretended OF Christ Jesus" He saw
In Christ the ideal of perfection. In
Christ he saw vision Of that for
which man was created--a vision Of
divine possibilities ever reckoning
him onward and upward. With his
face set toward the goal Of this
vision he said: II press on" He
realized that he could not reach
this goal through his own strength.
But he said: IT can do all things
through Christ which strengthened
me-" Without divine help no man
can reach his highest and best. If
we would attain that for which we
have been unprecedented Of Christ
Jesus, we must look to Him for the
necessary strength and wisdom.
